Just wanted to say I really enjoyed this adventure! I'm only a little sour about not making that boon roll hahaha.
Player Name: McBeefsteak
Character Name: Rayanoushyant Basar
PFS #291424-2
Day Job Roll: Profession: Soldier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"I believe we've found the most important texts but you are correct, time has abandoned us." Rayan says as he retraces his steps. Turning to Khellek Rayan quickly adds "You still have that letter of introduction yes? Best to make sure it's not left with the clerk who allowed us entry."
Yes I intend to head out the way we came in and try to cover any obvious signs of our passage (closing doors etc.) and then grab our illusion cards on the way by and the letter if we actually left it with the person who admitted us.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Rayan graciously accepts the shield after the lion has touched it, clearly familiar if not proficient with such an item.
"It has been an honor Glorymane." and with that Rayan moves to continue out, strapping the shield onto his pack as best he can under his cloak and robes.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3

Considering it as he stands waiting Rayan continues "I do not think we can leave the creature behind, it years for things beyond this prison. We must at least make the effort." he says as he quickly steps back into the room and retrieves the shield. Stopping for a moment Rayan quickly enacts a spell to detect magic, focusing on the shield to determine if it might be suitable.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Do you think this could allow our friendly lion the mobility he dreams of? Would that alert the powers that be to our presence?
Rayan quickly tucks the texts he's located into his pack as the music concludes he turns to his friends. "We must make haste, before we are noticed. Can anyone do anything to cover our passage through this place? We must not forget our cards!" Raya says as he bustles back to the previous room waiting to return the statues and close the door.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Hah!" Rayan exclaims as he moves through the door into the next room intent on searching it for any texts of value.
Knowledge:History - Bibliographic References: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 5 = 27
Assuming I find a text I'd like to use the Hidden Gem to grab an additional one from in here.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Friends I think I may Have it...First I must learn History..A cunning lie is never told twice..Perservere spoken three times...and Loyalty is it's own reward in the end! I believe this is the order the statues must be activated! Let us make great haste!"
Rayan quickly moves back to the hidden room intent on trying to somehow arrange or display the statues before the lion in this order.
I puzzled over this in my head for like...a solid 2 hours before bed the other night, I hope it works!
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
That is a rather ominous bell. Anyway I believe consensus is the room on the far right for now in hopes of more painting hints.
"Well then lets not waste time. That performance wont last forever." rayan says as he heads towards the far side of the library straining to hear where they may be in the performance.
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"I'm Unsure, I feel as if she believed we were here with genuine permission so perhaps it's well enough to leave it alone. However it might be possible to build on her belief and suggest our purpose here was both sanctioned and secret.. Are any of you adept with wordcraft? I'm more of a soldier myself.."
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Perhaps there are other portraits like the two we've seen? Shall we leave this and return once we've explored the rest of this level?" As he speaks Rayan turns to head towards the Eastern side of the library. Pausing as he moves back through the secret door he turns back "Also if any of us have the skill we should try and cover any sign of our passage here yes? Perhaps speak with the caretaker and ask that she not speak of our visit?
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Yes you make a great point, Courage is most definitely Bravery. Honor is more likely to be nobility as it is surely a noble trait." Rayan pauses briefly as he examines the remaining choices "Gory..Glory...Is not the history of this realms rife with the Glory of it's history? That would be my deduction, though I'm open to debate on this last point."
As Rayan paces he considers the puzzle presented before him. "That letter however was speaking of the entrance we've already passed. It seems unlikely that this is the case..Perhaps this is simply a test of which virtues the Taldori hold highest? What did that painting in the caretakers room say? A cunning lie is never told twice! Is that somehow related? There was another portrait of the prince that said in the end loyalty is it's own reward. Hmmmmmm"
I've scraped through all the posts looking for the keywords in anything we've seen and that's what I came up with.. Thoughts?
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Anything in those Cabinets I searched?
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Rayan approaches the cabinets and quickly examines the contents of each while he speaks. "It is not likely coincidence that this is another lion. Perhaps our friend outside the restricted section has some answers? Would someone care to ask him while the rest of us continue our search here?"
If there are texts in the cabinets I'd like to suggest we have Khellek-Bot search using the "exciting read" clue.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
going great! Moving once again after a brief pause. Have we lost Khellek? Also super glad I'm not crazy about that text!
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
I thought we already had
Seeing his other friends wracked with indecision Rayan moves forward and pulls the lever.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"More importantly why have a secret door inside an already extremely secret portion of a library? We should take care when we proceed." Rayan remarks, calling a spell to mind as his companions open the door.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Rayan moves into the room with his companions, having been once again ignored by the caretaker and attempts to aid in their search.
Perception (Aid Another): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Not so much helping.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Certainly mistress, you've done us a great service lending your aid to our efforts." Rayan once again offers his hand to escort the caretaker back to her chambers.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Caretaker, my friends seem somewhat absorbed with the texts contained herein but I find myself feeling our time could perhaps be better spent were we to divide ourselves. Would you mind taking me to the next room so that we might split our efforts?" Rayan says politely, thinking that perhaps this would give his companions an opportunity to search the strange cabinet in the previous room.
Also for what it's worth in the speakers notes on the first page of the presentation I've applied all the ciphers we've gotten so far to the handout but none of them make sense to me..Well maybe #2, I didn't try and suss out a message there it was late hahaha. See what you think.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Admiring the portrait Rayan remarks to anyone who's listening I imagine this fellow would have gotten on rather well with the Guardian?"
Turning back to the room Rayan decides to see if he can find any scribes records that would direct him toward books of note, while still keeping in the back of his mind the need for a way to transport their leonine friend.
Profession: Scribe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Is the caretaker ignoring my question or is it not information available in the scenario?
Also I wrote out what you'd get if we applied the cyphers we've found to the handout.. So far I don't see it hahaha though there could be something to Number two. I wrote it out in the speakers notes
Rayan seems lost in thought, examining the three Cyphers they've located thus far and comparing them against the encoded message. "I don't yet see it." he mumbles to himself as the search of the room continues.
Noticing the movement around the central cabinet he approaches. "What have you found?
Maybe use the card catalogue on this room and one of the next one or previous one?
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"In your years as caretaker has anyone ever been permitted to handle the books from the restricted section?" Rayan asks conversationally as he begins searching the shelves, looking for any texts relevant to their search or that could perhaps hold the strange lion they met earlier.
Knowledge:History: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Rayan nods at Kirrote's suggestion "Take special care this time my friends, it would behoove us to not leave a mess for the caretaker."
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Int Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
"Look here, these seem interesting if not entirely relevant." Rayan says as he thumbs through a folio of maps noting troop movements in the region.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Sorry that wasn't clear, Rayan joined him to search.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Rayan follows behind the caretaker, a bemused smile on his face at the quietly fierce independence of the woman. "What organisational system do you use here? I feel as if I could just grasp it I'd find things so much more easily."
Profession Scribe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"We thank you for your generous assistance, our assignment is of the utmost importance. Can I assist you?" Rayan steps forward and gently offers the caretaker his hand.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
I've been looking for a comprehensive list of available boons somewhere and what scenarios award them as sort of a meta wishlist/planning tool hahaha.
I think as long as he has bardic performance and a wand or two he'll be plenty useful. Hell even just being team "Aid another" can make a huge difference.
Besides Rayan has enough Pew Pew for both of us. I never play blaster casters so I went for as much Pew Pew as I could get out of him hahaha.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"I think at this point it's in our best interest to remove the lion lest he feel slighted and relay in great detail our descriptions. A strange disappearance would alarm the libraries curators but our descriptions may very well find them on our doorsteps."
Rayan moves down the hallway to the most southern door and attempts to listen against the door.
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"We will extend our search here beyond knowledge in hopes of finding a vessel worthy of your Mane." Rayan says with an exaggerated wink.
"Shall we then?" he says, moving toward the locked door.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Can I just say I'm in love with Khellek's 21 on a roll of 1?!
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Well then Guardian I shall defer to my companion, a chronicler of some renown, well versed in the ever growing history of Golarion near and far." Turning towards Khellek Rayan inclines his head in deference to the greater scholar.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Seeing what he thinks is Khellek's plan Rayan steps forward, choosing his words carefully. "I too have not yet become a blade, though standing before your visage it seems a title worthy of high honor. Please, tell me how might I join such auspicious an order?"
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Indeed my companion speaks truly, we are here seeking knowledge first and foremost. As a guardian of knowledge surely you must approve?" Rayan says, hoping to convince the strange creature if Khellek's request failed to sway it.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Ouch that hurts
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Rayan moves closer to the lion and asks politely "To whom do we speak so that we may address you properly? I am Rayanoushyant Basar, Evoker and staunch defender of lost lore."
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
And in the recent tradition, half my edits didn't take but the correction to my dice did. Hopefully no more interruptions to site use!
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
perfect, I just wasn't sure where there is a portion on the chronicle sheet for gold spent. Wanted to be certain hahaha.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Rayan approaches Kelek, absentmindedly checking the lock on the door before heading south to the next door and trying to open it. "It seems odd that one would lock a door within a secret library does it not?" Rayan asks as he tries the second door.
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 Let me know if you'd rather I reroll that instead of just adjusting the erroneous adjustment. Should be a +1 on my Perception
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Hey top sorry I didn't get this in to you earlier. If it's not too late the only thing I was gonna buy were three flasks of Alchemists fire for 60GP total. If it's too late for you to update I can always buy it after Rayan's next adventure! Have been unable to get on the site everytime I'm at a computer until now!
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Surely you see the merit to my companions words despite their less than convincing nature? We are all shaken from tonights events but the text would surely be safer in more capable hands..." Rayan looks sideways at Nahko and Vraxam before finishing "despite outward appearances." Turning to his companions he makes a subtle wink hoping he's convinced the master.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
I did my best! Rayan had lined up something else, thanks for the offer though
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Rayan moves into the room and quickly sets about searching alongside Khellek, attempting to cover areas he hasn't and keeping his eyes trained for any irregularities or patterns in the shelving of texts.
Unsure if there are other texts here but here goes nothing. Also wooh finally website up when I'm around to post!
Linguistics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
went well, checked in lots but website was down. Wife is an early and heavy sleeper so I usually have loads of time. Glad the site is back up!
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
finally able to get in and post woo! I'll have buying info for you tomorrow! Been away during most of the shenanigans so didn't hrut as much, got married etc!
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
"Once we determine what lies beyond this door I can conjure a magical light." Rayan offers as he makes way for his dwarven companion to lead the way.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
I guess I was trying to see if Rayan could use his linguistic skills to "solve" it not just decipher it hahaha.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Dispersing the force Missile as the Kitsune surrenders Rayan quickly moves to examine the riddle as a whole, trying to make sense of the pacing and phrasing to see if the solution becomes apparent to him.
Linguistics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Such good rolls on my skills this adventure
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Hope you didn't think I was AWAL! I will be maintaining my one a day (other than yesterday the slacker I am) but I am getting married this weekend so the timing of my posts may wildly vary hahahah. I'm not gone though and when in doubt bot me in combat with a Force Missile.
1d4+1 damage, 7 uses per day.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Until this point Rayan has been absorbed in his spellbook, walking and muttering under his breath. Finally seeming finished he snaps his book shut and takes stock of the situation.
"Seems things are well in hand" he nods approvingly at Khellek and his other companions "Time to setup the ruse then."
Moving well away from Khellek's illusion Rayan finds a reading stand and sets it in a secluded alcove with the chairs back facing out to the library proper. He sets a book on the etymology of draconic names and the development of non patrilineal names amongst dragonkind on the stand before setting his illusion and returning.
Shall we away? Time is ticking." Raya says as he listens for the sound of music from the performance.
Male Human AC 10(T 10, FF 10, Mage Armor 14) | HP: 8/8 |F +2, R 0, W +3 |Init 0, Perc +1 | CMB 0 CMD 10 | Force Missile 7/7 | Spells 1st 3/3
Rayan looks at Kreighton with a cold level gaze, holding a force missile ready "On the floor, disarm yourself and kneel for binding. Who are you and what have you done here? Someone needs to help Grix before it's too late!"
