This campaign dropped off my list but was not marked inactive, I'm bumping this to get it back on my radar.

I'm bumping this and I'll get a VO to issue the Chronicles.

Player Name: Watery Soup

Character Name: Thevenin Serkat
PFS Number: 2358909-2005 (note that the chracter name will autofill as Ezaki Glico)
Faction: Horizon Hunters
4 XP @ Level 4 (64 gp)
4 XP @ Level 5 (100 gp)
4 XP @ Level 5 (100 gp)
Total Treasure Bundles: 264 gp
Downtime: I'll take care of it myself.

Caught a typo.

PFS Number: 2358909-2004

2 PCs and a GM is a legal PFS table (the bar was lowered from 3 to 2 a few years ago), and on top of that, I'm not even sure Adventure Mode tables have to be PFS-legal.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you can get back to GMing sometime. If you ever just want to play something without the pressure of GMing, hit me up, I try to keep one long term game going (Adventure-ish) and one short term game going.

Player Name: Watery Soup
Character Name: Thevenin Serkat
PFS Number: 2358909-2005 (note that the chracter name will autofill as Ezaki Glico)
Faction: Horizon Hunters
4 XP @ Level 4 (64 gp)
4 XP @ Level 5 (100 gp)
4 XP @ Level 5 (100 gp)
Total Treasure Bundles: 264 gp
Downtime: I'll take care of it myself.

The GM mentioned, but I can't find it anywhere, that he stepped down from being a Venture Agent a while back, and since then, he's been forgetting to check the thread.

We are not close to the end of the Adventure. As a matter of fact, I'm not 100% sure we're even halfway. I believe we'd need to complete 2/3 in order to get credit, and I'm now pretty sure we're the only two PCs left, which doesn't bode well for getting a new GM.

I'll ask Lysle what he thinks, but my prognosis is negative at this point.

So, as I understand it, after a certain period of inactivity, this campaign will automatically become inactivated. This campaign will remain on my page until then, and I will keep checking, but over time, my memory of what we were doing and even who my character is will fade.

Are others still checking this campaign?

Stokes will take the unfinished chain if nobody can finish it, or if nobody wants it, to sell later.

But, he'll try to headbutt the manacles open.

Athletics: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 vs DC 32

Has there ever been a time where headbutting something isn't the best solution? Stokes eyes the goat to assess the possibility of a challenge.

Stokes will also offer the prisoners some rations, so they don't eat the goat.

Stokes will heal up the goat while the others take their void bath, and then headbutts the middle door open.

"We don't need to be told what we've already found," Stokes says. "Tell us about what's on the other side of those doors."

Then, without waiting for an answer, Stokes rushes up and punches the head cultist.

Elemental Blast, 2-action: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
Bludgeoning, 2-action, melee: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8, 7) + 4 + 4 = 23 plus push 5' southward

Stokes pushes the cultist away from the wall, opening up flanks.

With the dinosaur sandwiched, Stokes launches a full attack.

Elemental Blast, 2-action, melee: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30 vs flanking
Bludgeoning, 2-action, melee: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5, 7) + 4 + 4 = 20

Elemental Blast, 1-action, melee, MAP: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 16 - 5 = 20 vs flanking
Bludgeoning, melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

Stokes moves up ◆ and swings a healing wave over the goat, which turns into a giant, watery fist when it reaches the cultist.

◆ Ocean's Balm: 3d8 ⇒ (1, 8, 5) = 14 vs goat

◆ Elemental Blast, Melee: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24 vs Orange
Bludgeoning, Melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 8) + 4 = 16

Stokes conjures up some swirling water, and sends a jet of water at Yellow as well.

Elemental Blast: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Bludgeoning: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 1) + 4 = 11

Bumping.

Stokes will lead the way south through the single door.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 vs DC 20
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 vs DC 30
Religion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 vs DC 22

"These are hymns to Pharasma and written in the dead language of Requian. Haha! It's a pun! One has the effects of a scroll of fear at 3rd level casting, and the other a scroll of darkness at 4th level casting," Stokes mansplains.

Stokes shifts over across from Clynter, and punches with a watery fist.

Elemental Blast, 2-action: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 vs flanking
Bludgeoning, 2-action, melee: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8, 1) + 4 + 4 = 17

Stokes will join in, then, activating his aura.

Elemental Blast, 1-action: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22
Bludgeoning, melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 8) + 4 = 17

Elemental Blast, 2-action, MAP: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 5 = 23
Bludgeoning, 2-action, melee: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (6, 1) + 4 + 4 = 15

Does anyone want to do anything besides kill it? Try and use him as an arrow shield or trap detector as we walk around the dungeon?

Stokes is not about to put an end to the demon-on-demon violence, so he stays mum.

Stokes, with no hope of fitting in, hangs back, maybe even stepping to the side and keeping out of view?

I'm also happy to pretend I'm a prisoner if anyone wants to play that angle.

Religion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 vs DC 22
Society: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 vs DC 22

"Ah, yes, this is the Great Mark of Wahlborg, or GM Worg for short."

West?

Stokes will activate his aura (granting him a free Elemental Blast).

Elemental Blast: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23 vs Yellow
Bludgeoning, 1-action: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 4) = 11

He'll follow up with a 2-action blast.

Elemental Blast, MAP: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 16 - 5 = 27 vs Yellow
Bludgeoning, 2-action: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12

Stokes will activate his aura if allowed to, and then push open the door.

Stokes will gesture towards the north door, hoping one of the stealthier types will take a peek.

I just realized that Stokes doesn't have +1 armor. Do we have enough for him to buy some? I have no clue how much we have.

Stokes is pretty badly hurt, so he washes himself with a little healing water.

Ocean's Balm: 3d8 ⇒ (6, 6, 1) = 13

Realizing that they're actually capable of hurting him, he takes a quick swing and backs away.

Elemental Blast, melee, 1-action: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Acid, melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 = 11

Stokes should no longer be frightened.

Elemental Blast, melee, 2-action: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 vs flanking
Acid, melee, 2-action: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7, 2) + 4 + 4 = 17

Elemental Blast, melee, 1-action, MAP: 1d20 + 13 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 1 = 15 vs flanking
Acid, melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 = 13

Stokes mirrors Radkon's attacks.

Stokes is happy to trade attacks, especially since they can't seem to hit him. Past performance is always an indicator of future results. Stokes is a dedicated Baynesian.

Elemental Blast, melee, 2-action, frightened 1: 1d20 + 13 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 13 - 1 = 29 vs flanking
Acid, melee, 2-action: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 + 4 = 20

Elemental Blast, melee, 1-action, frightened 1, MAP: 1d20 + 13 - 1 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 13 - 1 - 5 = 9 vs flanking
Acid, melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 = 9

Stokes glares at the ugly face in front of him.

◆ Intimidating Glare, Intimidating Prowess: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 13 + 1 = 24

Stokes activates his water aura ◆, and swings a mighty fist at the ghostly creature, sending a fist of acid ◇.

Elemental Blast, Melee: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15 vs flanking, frightened (?)
Acid, Melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 = 13

He'll swing again ◆. Will switch to cold if the first one hit but acid didn't seem to have much effect.

Elemental Blast, Melee, MAP: 1d20 + 13 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 5 = 11 vs flanking, frightened (?)
Acid, Melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (8, 6) + 4 = 18

Stokes has Focus-like healing, so he can deal 3d8 positive with a 10 min cooldown.

Goat: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 4) = 15
Rakdon: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) = 10

"Hey ... how does it feel to watch your friends die? Friends? Coworkers? .... Lovers?"

Stokes pauses for effect.

"It doesn't matter. They're all dead, now. And then we're going to desecrate their bodies. How do you think we ended up with this abomination?"

Stokes points to the skeleton.

Intimidating Glare: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Elemental Blast, 2-action: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Bludgeoning, Melee, 2-action: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7, 3) + 4 + 4 = 18 plus 5' move
If that hits, shift 5' to the east (so Stokes is NNW of the drake and it's halfway onto the path)

Stokes will circle around to the back on the Green Drake and swing.

◆ Stride
◆◆ Elemental Blast, Melee, 2-action: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Bludgeoning, Melee, 2-action: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 + 4 = 15 plus shift 5' East

Stokes circles around the drake and swings again with watery fists.

Elemental Blast, 2 actions: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22 vs flanking
Bludgeoning, melee: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 + 4 = 17

Stokes gathers up the waters around him ◆, and then punches Blue with a watery fist ◆◆.

Elemental Blast, Melee: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Bludgeoning, melee: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 + 4 = 16
assuming that's a hit, moving him 1 NW so Red can't flank

We should probably walk in front of or behind the wagon so that if it breaks the bridge, we can grab a ledge.

Stokes can heal himself and the goat with Ocean's Balm over time. It'd be about 30-40 minutes.

Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

"It's a wand of teeming ghosts."

Stokes has nothing for Clynter, sorry.

Stokes moves up and touches the goat with some healing waters.

Ocean's Balm: 3d8 ⇒ (1, 3, 6) = 10

He makes one Strike at Blue.

Elemental Blast, Melee: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Bludgeoning, Melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (8, 7) + 4 = 19

◆ Recall Knowledge: Occultism +8, unless Ashes has done such a thorough job there's not more to learn.

Stokes activates his kinetic aura ◆, punching Red.

◇ Elemental Blast, 1-action: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30 vs flanking
Bludgeoning, Melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (8, 4) + 4 = 16

◆ Elemental Blast, 1-action, MAP: 1d20 + 13 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 13 - 5 = 28 vs flanking
Bludgeoning, Melee: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 = 11

Stokes doesn't know what witch lights are, but he's happy to take a circle around the ruins to see if there's anything that matches the description.

Perception +9

Has anyone been keeping track of how much money we've accumulated? Because ... I ... uh ... hehe ... haven't.

Society: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 vs DC 20

Stokes shrugs and takes Ashes' word for it.

Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 vs DC 22 (Do I personally need to have made the Society check to get the +2 bonus, or does Ashes making it count for everyone?)

Guess it doesn't matter.

"To activate the sun symbols, we must first rid the room of everything flammable. Then, we perform the ritual illustrated on the wall carvings. With one person standing in the center of the symbol and the other going to the room below and standing in the center of that room's symbol, an intangible orb of light 1 foot in diameter will appear around the character at the center of the upper sun symbol and moves away along the spiral.

Each time the orb returns to the upper sun symbol, the pedestal on the dais at the east end of the room glows as well. The moving light is plainly powering the pedestal, although its precise effects aren’t clear."

Every time the orb completes a run, everyone who benefits from life giving energy heals their character level in hit points.

Nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 vs DC 15

"Don't worry, buddy," Stokes says, interposing himself between Clynter and the goat. "He's just talking out of his coccyx."

"Azlanti chili recipes are worthless," Stokes declares. "They've got less heat than the paper it's written on."

Stokes sets the recipe on fire, and then walks into the room behind Ashes.

"Oh, Mighty and Imperious Croakchief Globbit," Stokes begins, bowing fluidly, "We come seeking the Pillar-Watcher known as Cursebreaker, hoping to activate it and quell the curse on the city. The humans' spirits have been broken, and now is the time to heal the city so that they can pay you proper respect."

Stokes will agree with the Weekend at Bernie's plan, and peer into the chest.

Stokes will look around, as well, maybe clean up some of the nesting material by hosing the room down.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
