Absolutely no hard feelings on tabling the campaign. Thanks for sticking with us as long as you did.
Best of luck with your work and family life, these are challenging time for everyone.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Titan tugs on his bow string a bit, unclear exactly how the magical essence has effected its properties.
"Yes, let's move on. Lead the way when you're ready."

What will I do with all these death essences?
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Seeing the essence form from the remains of the undead remains, Titan is reminded of the crystalline stowed in his own pack.
"If we're going to be continue contending with the undead, we should take every advantage we can get our hands on. It's about time we figure out how to use these things?" the hunter mutters aloud as he retrieves the crystal.
I'd like to imbue the death essence into Titan's bow to get bane (undead).
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Titan moves a bit closer and lines up another shot.
”Formless take you abomination!” he curses as he lets the arrow fly.
Shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

After this encounter, Titan will imbue his death essence into his bow for bane (undead).

It's also probably worth mentioning that the GM's dice have been pretty hot lately. You won't be grappled every encounter. Just by virtue of having full BAB and high strength you have a good chance of avoiding a grapple when you do get hit.
As a mechanic, grapple is generally a net-loss for the grappler. Muraisa just happens to be the one character build that's hit especially hard by it.

Hearing Ysildaë's warning, Titan nocks another arrow and peers down the way for a second runner.
Perception?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Assuming he spots them:
"I've got him! Watch out, there's another arrow coming your way!" he barks before firing again.
Shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
If not:
"I don't see him. He can wait. Let's deal with the undead first."
Titan leans hard against the cavern wall to this left in an effort to line up an awkward shot on the zombies battling Ysildaë and Muraisa.
Firing on Red.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Going to leave that other melee spot for Muraisa.
After giving Bjorkus the command to stay put, Titan squeezes in past Maria. Despite the cramped conditions, he manages to raise his bow and nocks an arrow. Taking a deep breath he lines up a shot over the elven maiden's shoulder.
"I've got a line on the runner. Ysildaë, duck!"
Shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Confirming: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Extra Damage: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 1) + 6 = 14
Assuming the only cover is from Ysildaë, Titan ignores it due to his deadeye bowman trait.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Titan crouches at Bjorkus's side. "What do you think boy? You have the scent still?"
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
From the doorway, Titan nervously fingers the string of his bow, wary of more undead.
"Any signs of who or what was occupying this place last?" the hunter asks.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
It might be worth sending out some PMs if someone has time.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
There was more than three. We found a couple early on and we found some more in the big battle that killed our rogue.
In this post it was mentioned we needed planes to identify the essences. What skill did we need to identify the second batch?
Edit: Nvm. You're right, it was just the three.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
On the subject of leveling and character progression, it occurs to me that we (at least the former table #2) have a few essences we never imbued.
Is the process of imbuing/using essences known and/or intuitive or is it something that the characters would need to seek out information on?

Is there anything nearby that we could use as a sample of the children's' scents?
"Bjorkus can give it a shot. Find something that the children might have held", Titan says as he begins to look around. "An article of clothing would be ideal. A worn and well-loved toy might work as well."
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
As we've consolidated the games, can we mark this one inactive?
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Catching up with the others, Titan relays the priestess's warning.
"The priestesses of Teysura seem to know more about this thing than the rest of us. Those dead men we dispatched back there are different for a good reason. They're different because someone created them - intentionally. I'm told there's a priest of the Harbinger nearby creating those things", the hunter explains darkly. "This can't be a coincidence. Do you think he made off with these missing children?"
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
I'm working from home presently so my work:not-work ratio hasn't changed much.
I hope the GM and his family are doing well. The extended silence has me a bit worried.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
"These ones were different. They don't explode and seem less durable. Why?" Titan asks aloud hoping someone in the party knows something about the dead things rising from the lake.
After taking a quick inventory of his remaining ammunition, the hunter flags down the sisters. With tensions still high, Bjorkus follows as on his master's heels. "Stay calm. Who are Agatha and Leufroy? When were they last seen?"
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
"We'll plan for a visit tomorrow then. The Sisters are known for working miracles."
Having finishing up maintenance on his gear, Titan runs his fingers across his two remaining specialized glass-headed arrows. After a moment of consideration, he pulls one from his quiver. Between Kayin and now Maria, he was in the company of two trained alchemists.
”Have either of you worked on something like this before?” the hunter asks while turning the exotic arrow between his thumb and forefinger. ”I picked up a dozen of these a year ago but they’ve been difficult to replace. Do you think you could create more with enough time and the right materials?”
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
"Tell us more about this child you rescued. What did she tell you about how she got down there?" Titan asks while sharpening an arrowhead. "Would it be worth checking in with her after she's had some time to recover with the Sisters? She might be the best lead we have."
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
With the conversation headed back toward more material matters, Titan rejoins the conversation.
"Whatever's going on down there, whether it's a death cult or just a smuggler's den, it's in our interest to understand it. Organizations that operate out of sight like that are usually well-supplied. It's in our interest to find their stores and recover them."
Hearing Ysildaë's query about their locked containers, the hunter only shakes his head darkly. "We had one that was good with that sort of thing. He didn't make it. Bjorkus could probably smash them open but I imagine you wanted them intact. Any clues what's inside?"
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Hearing other survivors discuss details similar to the lead his own team had been investigating, Titan pauses between bites of his meal. Wandering the ruins of the city blind had cost Randall his life. Perhaps this other group would have some information that could give them an edge on their next expedition. Before he can offer an introduction, the otherworldly woman is upon them with her own.
"Titan", he offers Ysildaë. "That's Muraisa, Kayin, and Aerryndöl", he adds nodding to each of his companions.
"And this is Bjorkus", Titan finishes with a gesture at the young bear splayed out on the ground at his side.
Titan is a tall lean man of northern descent. Despite any outward signs of impressive physical prowess the deliberate motion of his rangy frame hints at a predator's power and grace. His auburn hair and short well-kept beard match almost perfectly his hulking ursine companion.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
I’m down. Bring on the merger!
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30

Titan and Bjorkus bring up the rear. The hunter pauses to examine the worn grooves in the floor.
"Could be more dead men", Titan warns as the rancid stick hits him. "Or worse."
Not sure what else there is to glean from the tracks. Maybe how heavy of a load the cart was moving?
Survival: 10 + 8 = 18
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Work is a zoo right now but I'm still around.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Titan worked his way down there with Bjorkus using the pulley system.
"Why did the minotaur retreat down here?" the hunter asks aloud. "Was he after reinforcements or something valuable?"
"We should probably crack open these barrels once we made sure the basement is clear."
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Titan carefully latches the pulley system to Bjorkus's harness again. "Let's take it slowly down there. There's no telling how many more dead things are down there and won't be easy to stage a fighting retreat if things go south. Aerryndöl, do you have any tricks from the Tower that can warn us about what's in the basement?"
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Once the front line has advanced, Titan takes a moment to dig through the smashed crates.
Anything of immediately of interest?
After looking through what's in the open, Titan searches for a crate that's less securely sealed still.
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
"Upstairs then. Give Muraisa some clearance in case she has to withdraw. If there's trouble up there, try to draw it down here. Let's not end up in another cramped hallway melee", Titan warns.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
@GM: Some rituals would be handy. Titan's very in touch with his faith.
Hearing Aerryndöl describe her talents, Titan gestures toward the back rank. ”If you’re not a battlemage, you should be back here with me. Unless you’ve got some practice as a burglar…” Titan adds not sure how the woman might respond.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Is Titan aware of any ceremonies specific to Sanctumday in the Korlez faith?
Having spent the night watching the others, Bjorkus in particular, struggle with the plague, Titan doesn’t sleep very well either. ”How long is it supposed to take for that medicine to kick in?”, the hunter asks as the party prepares to break camp. ”Poor Bjorkus doesn’t have much of an appetite and the two of you spent the whole night tossing and turning.”
Finding themselves in front of the brewery once again, Titan considers the newcomer as he strings his bow. ”Aerryndöl was it? Before we move inside to destroy more of these corpses, we should know a little more about you. If you trained at the tower you must be some kind of mage. What kind of magic are you learned in?”
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
"I wouldn't call him 'tame' but he's well trained and he knows not to do his business indoors... Most of the time", Titan explains to the anxious guard.
After a long bout of studying the young woman in an effort to place her, Titan snaps back to attention when Muraisa speaks his name.
”Randall won’t be the last”, he adds grimly. ”The dead are strong and smarter than they look. We need to get better organized and equipped if there’s going to be any of us left when the job is done.”
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
I was kind of assuming Titan was waiting outside with Bjorkus.
Unless this hall is trafficked enough that an adolescent grizzly bear isn't going to cause a panic.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Titan gives the oracle a nod of consent. "Go ahead. His harness has a few free rings if you need something to hook to."
To the tower!
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Titan maintains his distance during the brief funeral. For those that ask, he cites a responsibility to stay in close proximity to Bjorkus. In truth, the whole feel felt wrong to him. He'd hardly known Randall and some part of him felt responsible for his untimely death. That guilt weighed on him.
When Muraisa and Randall look like they're preparing to move on, Titan wastes little time in tagging along.
"Off to deliver that letter? I'll join you. Bjorkus and I don't really do funerals."
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Unless our press-ganged helper is available for interaction, I'd be good with rushing us to tomorrow morning and back to the Brewery.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Titan would have grabbed weapons as well as essences.
That reminds me, did we ever ID the essence we got off the zombie? I believe Randall is the only one to not get an essence so far.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
"Breaks the law?" Titan asks in quiet disbelief. "Please tell me we're only locking up murders and rapists."
The hunter sighs as he fingers through the remaining arrows in his quiver.
"There are too few of us already. It doesn't make much sense to short a team extra hands because someone filched a bottle of brandy."
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
"Of course", is all Titan offers the commander's response. In truth, he quietly resents Cassyon's implication. They were all survivors but very few were soldiers. That distinction put everyone at risk. Randall had only been the first.
The hunter waits in silence while Marcusic approaches.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
"Sodality" and "The Altered" were the names I was curious about.
Titan reflects on what he's heard about the wizard's guild.
Arcana: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
"What are the wizards doing here?" the hunter asks boldly. "Do they have a solution to the undead that doesn't put our lives at risk?"
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Are either of those names ones we should recognize in-character?
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Was there any spare healing for Bjorkus?
"We can finish the job at the brewery but we'll need some time to recover."
Thinking on the news, Titan probes. "What's going on at the tower? Anything that concerns our work clearing the streets?"
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
”We encountered the dead, more than we could handle”, Titan admits grimly. ”A big undead minotaur too. We destroyed them but…”
Feeling increasingly guilty at being the only one to escape relatively unscathed, the hunter clears his throat.
”Can anything be done for them? I can wield a handful of divine blessings through Korlez but my powers are spent for the day.”
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Finding the rogue too far gone, Titan sighs. It didn’t need to come to this. I should have done more. When Bjorkus approaches to offer him comfort, he ruffles the bear’s fur. ”Let’s get out of here boy.”
Working as swiftly and efficiently as he can, the hunter attends his errands in the basement. First he collects the loose essence floating near the broken body of the nearby zombie. He lacks the expertise to recognize its properties but he understood essences were valuable as a rule. Next, moving them as carefully as he can, Titan ties the unconscious forms of Muraisa and Kayin to Bjorkus’s back. The bear grumbles unhappily at the burden but even their combined weight was not a problem for the mighty ursine. After scaling the pulley lines back up to the first floor, he hoists Bjorkus and his living companions up from the basement. After a second trip to the basement, Randall’s remains are brought up as well.
”Let’s find the constable. He’ll want to know what we found here.”
Off to find Marcusic.
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Taking 10 with an aid gets me to 15.

After slipping his bow over his head, Titan slides down the rope dangling down into the pit below.
Taking 10 gets me a 13.
He rushes to the bleeding oracle. ”Don’t die on me boy. There’s too few of us left of us already. Bjorkus, lean on him here.”
Male Human Sacred Huntmaster 3 | HP: 30/30 l AC: 19 /T: 13/FF: 16 l Fort: +4, Ref: +5, W: +6 l Init: +6 l Per: +8 l Movement: 30
Oh boy. I need to get down there this round. What kind of check/action would it be to slide down the ropes like a fireman's pole?
