Thanks for running!

Tifali and Xixotli set to work stabilizing the wounded attackers with healer’s tools.

Medicine (stabilize): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Earn Income: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Tifali funnels magical energy into Xixotli, who aggressively attacks the last standing enemy.

Act Together (Cast a spell (boost eidolon) and Strike), Strike 2, Strike 3 (all vs blue rogue)

Strike #1 (jaws): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Samage (P, nonlethal, boost): 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8 plus 1 good

Strike #2 (wing; agile): 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 4 = 19
Damage (B, nonlethal, boost): 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12 plus 1 good

Strike #3 (wing; agile): 1d20 + 7 - 8 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 8 = 3
Damage (B, nonlethal, boost): 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8 plus 1 good

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Xixotli takes the brunt of the electric arc, but Tifali covers the damage with a burst of healing magic. The gnome then bolster's the couatl's defenses while Xixotli closes the gap.

◆◆ Cast a Spell (heal on self), ◆ Act Together (Cast a Spell (protect companion), Stride (Xix))

Healing: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Sorry, was traveling this weekend and catching up. I’ll post tomorrow for sure, but probably won’t get tomorrow tonight. Feel free to bot me if I’m holding things up!

Tifali generates an arc of lightning between two attackers, while Xixotli lashes out at the one who stuck him.

◆ Cast a Spell (boost eidolon), ◆◆ Act Together (Cast a Spell (electric arc on blue and black) and Strike vs black)

Electricity Damage (basic Reflex DC 17): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Strike #1 vs Black (jaws): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage (P, nonlethal, boost): 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9 plus 1 good

Tifali funnels more magical power into the couatl, who strikes at the approaching thug.

◆ Cast a Spell (boost eidolon, ◆ Act Together (Cast a Spell (protect companion) and Strike vs Black, ◆ Strike #2 vs Black

Strike #1 vs Black (jaws): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage (P, nonlethal, boost): 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12 plus 1 good

Damage (P, nonlethal, boost): 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7 plus 1 good

Tifali and Xixotli approach, Xixotli bearing his fangs while Tifali invades one of the intruder's minds.

◆ Act Together (Stride and Stride), ◆◆ Cast a Spell (daze on black)

Tifali will maintain a spell (protect companion) as the group navigates the maze.

Xixotli tries to manually unwind Junior's spring, while Tifali keeps the eidolon magically warded.

◆ Grapple (Xix), ◆◆ Act Together (cast protect companion and try Athletics to unwind Junior's gear)

Grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Apologies for the delay, lots of life happening all at once this week.

Tifali conjures an arc of electricity between the two remaining threats, while Xixotli engages the rampaging construct.

◆ Stride (Xix), ◆◆ Act together (Cast a Spell - electric arc on red and Junior; Grapple vs Junior)

Electricity Damage (basic Reflex DC 17): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Grab (jaws): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"Spoken like someone who has little experience with ancient artifacts. We hide them away when their presence would cause more harm than good. Our work is in service to all sentients, not just those who would wage war against evil."

Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Tifali clears his throat. "My name is Tifali, and this is my eidolon, Xixotli. My companion and I actually hail from Arcadia. Were it not for the Pathfinder Society making landfall on our eastern shores, I would not be standing before you today. Venture-Captain Benarry promised us purpose and influence across Golarion, and thus far she has not disappointed. The Pathfinder Society has connected people from across many continents, opening new trade routes, diverse religions, and brave politics from around the globe to the peoples of Avistan."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Tifali nods to the automaton. "I am Tifali, and this is my better half, Xixotli. With all due respect, Valor, given the disaster at Lastwall I'd think the best thing for the Church of Iomedae to invest time and resources into would be rebuilding the front against the Whispering Tyrant. I'm not convinced how picking up new real estate liabilities in Andoran further your benevolent cause. The Society, meanwhile, benefits the world by having stable footholds across Golarion. Our networks are what facilitated so many refugees escaping the Gravelands alive when Lastwall fell. Do your really want to cripple our ability to rally support from across the globe?"

Tifali returns to the group. "Not what I was expecting to find, but apparently Tala is renowned for her fairness. She is a retired Eagle Knight and appreciates the skills and influence that both Pathfinders and the church of Iomedae can use to help Almas and Andoran. She's been especially impressed by some of the Society’s more recent efforts in fighting against the slave trade across the Inner Sea."

"Meanwhile, Tritus is a retired Pathfinder, and sometimes he mentors young locals interested in joining the Society. Both seem like worthy witnesses to our case no?"

GM glyph to Zazu

After spending some time in recovery from the spider venom, Tifali and Xixotli are ambulatory again! He listens to the briefing, confers with his eidolon, then starts asking around about the Church of Iomedae, the cathedral, and Valor.

Dilplomacy (gather information) d20+7 (secret)

Sorry all, dealing with multiple massive issues of grad work and car problems. Will post and fill out the sheet soon I promise.

Earn Income: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Traveling until Monday, sorry for the inconvenience! Please bot as necessary!

Fortitude (protect companion): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11

Tifali sets to work treating his companion.

Draw healer's tools, treat poison, cast protect companion.

Medicine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Fortitude (protect companion): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18

Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Xixotli recoils with pain from the venom, but retaliates against the spider while Tifali boosts his defenses.

◆ Strike #1 vs Green, ◆ Step (Tifali), ◆ Act Together (Cast a Spell [protect companion] and Strike #2 vs Green)

Strike #1 vs Green (jaws, courage): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 = 21
Damage (P, courage): 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13 plus 1 good damage

Strike #2 vs Green (wing, courage, agile): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 - 4 = 12
Damage (B, courage): 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11 plus 1 good damage

◆ Pre-encounter: Stride (Tifali), ◆ Stride (Xixotli)

Tifali spots the attacking vermin and springs into action alongside his serpentine eidolon!

◆ Cast a Spell (boost eidolon), ◆ Stride (Xixotli) ◆ Act Together (Stride (Tifali) & Strike vs Green (Xixotli))

Strike #1 vs Green (jaws): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Damage (P, boost): 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13 plus 1 good damage

Tifali looks to the party. "South first?"

Tifali follows Xixotli up the stairs toward the roof.

"Investigating unopened rooms seems as good a place to start as any."

Tifali listens in tight silence, and lets out a heavy sigh. "Such a needless loss. You had no right to interfere with document transmission in this sovereign state to begin with. You will be judged and punished harshly for this."

He looks to the others. "Should we try to find the real courier? Tell the Venture-Captain?"

Xixotli wraps Revinus in his coils while Tifali uses his healer's tools to rouse the attacker to consciousness.

Medicine Treat Wounds): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

"Hey there, Revinus. Sorry about the lumps, but you really gotta hold your horses in confrontations like this. Now let's talk about the girl you attacked."

Xixotli can bind Revinus and we can rouse him to consciousness after that. Does that sound good?

The guard in the Green Tabard goes down in a heap after Keliara hits him in the head with a piece of debris.

Round 2 Inspire Courage +1 Attack +1 Damage
Bold may act
Revinus (-22 HP. Dying 1)
Zazu
Tawnie Rumbuckle
Keliara Irsiya
Tifali & Xixotli (-2 HP)
Green Guard (-22 HP)
Red Guard
Hui Kong
Morthos Talandro & Lidya (-3 HP)
Pink Guard
Blue Guard

Xixotli’s strike that dropped Revinus was nonlethal, so he shouldn’t be dying. Angel eidolons can deal nonlethal damage with no penalty.

Tifali conjures both offensive and supportive magic while Xixotli presses the attack.

◆ Cast a Spell (boost eidolon, ◆◆ Act Together (Cast a Spell (electric arc on Revinus and green) and Strike vs Revinus)

Electricity Damage (basic Reflex DC 17): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Strike #1 vs Revinus (jaws; inspire): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
Damage (piercing, nonlethal; boost, inspire): 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 9

Tifali sends a surge of energy to Xixotli, who slithers up and strikes the liar with his fangs.

◆ Cast a Spell (boost eidolon), ◆ Stride (Xixotli), ◆ Strike vs Revinus

Strike #1 (jaws, inspire): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 = 17
Damage (piercing, nonlethal, inspire, boost): 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 11

Tifali frowns as Xixotli positions himself at the front of the group. "I'm sorry, things are just a little confusing right now. We cannot let you leave just yet, not until we figure out what happened here. So you and your soldiers just rented a spooky old manor? As far as I know this property was not up for rent. Would you like to try again, sir?"

Tifali raises an eyebrow. "Um...clearly. Who are you and what are you doing in a haunted manor?"

Recalling the previous haunt, Tifali jumps into recitations of sacred texts to cam the spirit.

Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Tifali follows the rest of the group to the stairwell, as Xixotli takes the lead after the familiar scouts ahead.

Tifali channels a pulse of power to Xixotli, who slithers next to the remaining armor and delivers a swift bite.

◆ Cast a Spell (boost eidolon on Xixotli), ◆ Stride (Xixotli), ◆ Strike #1 jaws vs blue armor (Xixotli)

Strike #1 (jaws): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Damage (piercing, boost): 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12 plus 1 good damage

Tifali and Xixotli act in tandem, assuming a defensible position.

◆ Stride (Tifali), ◆ Stride (Xixotli), ◆ Cast a Spell (protect companion on Xixotli)

"I agree with Morthos. Let's check this manor first, see what's what there."

Tifali listens to the woman with visible empathy. "Don't lose hope yet. We'll find out what happened. Starting with this Cadmin character."

Back to the Cathedral then?

Tifali lets out a sigh of relief as the tension dissipates. "Lysandria? I'm Tifali, and this is Xixotli. Let's chat."

Close community but can't remember the name of a missing person?

Perception to Sense Motive +4 (secret check).

Tifali returns an hour later. "A woman at the market says a young woman who went missing last week. She couldn't remember her exact name: Alice, Eloise, Elanor, something to that effect. Weird that she didn't know, given that she says its such a tight-knit community."

Tifali nods. "Seems as good a place to start as any, let's chat with some of the locals."

The gnome begins with a quick sweep of the town, asking around about the spirit.

Diplomacy (Gather Information) +7 (secret check).

Tifali scratches his chin. "Any idea who might know who she was?"

Tifali pales as the ghostly figure appears, and wastes no time conjuring his couatl eidolon to meet with the Venture-Captain.

Religion (Tifali): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Religion (Xixolti): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Neither of us have ever seen something like that before. If I were a townsfolk, I'd be scared too. It seems she knew we were Pathfinders, might that be a clue? If not, where do you think we should start our investigation?"

”No one can hear your concerns if you’re this agitated! Everyone take a deep breath, and we will figure this out!”

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Morthos can have the bonus Hero Point, since he invested in a tiefling.

Tifali whistles to get the crowd’s attention. Hey folks! Why don’t we all calm down a second and let the venture-captain speak?”

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

@Keliara Wow, small PbP world! Nice to play with you again! Helix is off doing Vast Experiment now.

Likewise! Always fun to be at a table with you, @Farol ^_^

A gnome with night-blue hair and semi-traditional Arcadian attire rubs his hands together somewhat anxiously. His headgear and jerkin is prominently adorned with feathers and scales, most notable a necklace featuring a winged serpent.

"So this is Andoran, eh? Not quite as radiant as I'd thought, given its reputation. What makes this place different from Taldor besides its government?"
