Strike missed! Phew!

After striking the phantom, Valereon finds himself confronted by two apparitions, each attempting to seize control of his mind. He manages to resist the first, holding firm against its influence. However, the second proves too strong, slipping past his mental defenses and taking hold of him.

"Get out of my head!" he snarls through gritted teeth, desperately fighting to regain control.

A sudden surge of anger wells up inside Valereon, clouding his judgment and turning his rapier against himself. He attempts to strike his own body, but fortunately, his blade misses. As the struggle continues, he finds his movements growing increasingly awkward and uncoordinated, his usual grace and dexterity slipping away from him.

Acrobatics to Tumble Through vs Phantom's Reflex DC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Valereon gracefully tumbles past the phantom, landing lightly on his feet before swiftly turning and delivering a confident rapier strike. With another agile tumble, he slips past the phantom once more and moves back.

I have shown Valereon's movement through the red arrows. Also, shouldn't the condition that Valereon doesn't consider anyone an ally last only for one round?

Intimidation to Demoralize vs Phantom's Will DC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Valereon attempts to intimidate the phantom.

"If I were you, I’d run while you still can. I’d hate for you to suffer the same humiliating fate as your ghoul and undead companions."

He activates his Bracelet of Dashing, giving him more speed and agility, before dramatically entering into a parrying stance.

◆Demoralize
◆Activate Bracelet of Dashing (+10 status bonus to speed for 1 minures, which means that Valereon is at 40 speed w/ or w/out panache)

DC 18 Basic Reflex vs 11 Piercing (Blue): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

All failed! Valereon is blinded and takes a total of 35 damage. He's drained 3 (Max HP=29), so he's Dying 1 after failing the 4th reflex save. However, since he is still under the effect of corrupting spite, will he rise as a wight instead?

Question, does a successful Fort Save reduce the curse by 1 stage only or does it completely lift the curse?

Also, Valereon needs some healing please as he'll be resurrected as a wight if he dies with this curse.

Since Red's attack missed while Valereon is under extravagant parry, he gains panache until the end of his turn.

Fortitude Save-Drained 2 vs DC 17: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 2 = 9
HP:Fortitude Save-Drained 2 vs DC 17: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 2 = 13

Valereon enters a heightened state of flamboyance after dodging the attacks of Red. However, his corruption worsens and his life force continue to weaken.

Although confused why the others are helping him, Valereon seizes the opportunity created by Bonnie. He makes a precise strike against red followed by a confident finishing strike. He enters an extravagant parrying stance afterwards.

"You brought this upon yourself."

This is the first time my character is cursed/corrupted so please feel free to correct me.

Valereon feels revitalized after Achurius' heal. However, the curse twists his thoughts, clouding his judgment until even his own companions seem like enemies plotting against him. His usual deceitfulness and confidence remain, but it now carries a sharper, more hostile edge.

With four creatures surrounding him, his gaze settles on Red, whom he sees as just another threat to eliminate.

Valereon flicks his dueling cape to feint an attack, baiting Red into exposing an opening. The moment the creature takes the bait, he drives his rapier forward with a confident strike before entering an extravagant parrying stance.

Deception to Feint+Dueling Cape Bonus vs Red’s Perception DC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Valereon manages to resist the corruption from the first two attacks. However, the third proves too much as his life force begin to weaken.

Valereon flicks his dueling cape to feint an attack against the white undead, hoping to bait it into overextending its next strike.

Goading Feint

Deception to Feint+ Dueling Cape Bonus vs Target’s Perception DC: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 1 = 19

He then confidently follows through with a precise rapier thrust and settles into an extravagant parrying stance.

Rapier: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 Deadly d8, Disarm, Finesse
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Piercing

◆Goading Feint vs White (Valereon gains panache)
◆Confident Finisher vs White (Valereon loses panache)
◆Extravagant Parry (+1 AC)

Valereon thanks his teammates for freeing him from the ghoul’s grasp. Thanks to Irina’s healing, he feels revitalized, though he could certainly use a little more.

"Thanks, Casey! This should make my feints even more convincing."

Valereon wraps the dueling cape around his arm, ready to use it to misdirect his next opponent. He moves to the frontline and then settles into an elegant parrying stance, rapier at the ready, as the group braces for the next wave of angry spirits.

AC circumstance bonus from extravagant parry is now only +1 since Valereon doesn't have a free hand.

Valereon:

Valereon feints another attack, this time, against the blue ghoul standing right in front of him.

Deception to Feint vs Blue’s Perception DC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

He feints to one side, drawing the skeleton’s guard away, then swiftly changes direction. With Achurius' guidance, he drives his rapier into the opening.

Rapier+Guidance: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 1 = 26 Deadly d8, Disarm, Finesse

Confident Finisher: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6 Precision

If crit, damage is multiplied by 2 and add: Deadly d8: 1d8 ⇒ 3 Piercing

"One clean strike. One less problem."

After the strike, he spins and settles into an extravagant parrying stance, holding his rapier ready as the other ghouls close in.

Valereon:
◆Feint vs Blue (Valereon gains Panache)
◆Confident Finisher vs Blue (Valereon loses Panache)
◆Extravagant Parry (+2 Circumstance Bonus to AC)

Valereon gracefully strides toward the orange skeleton. With a sudden flourish, he feints toward one side, in a attempt to draw the skeleton’s guard away.

Deception to Feint vs Orange's Perception DC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

He then spins past its defense, twists his wrist, and drives his rapier into the skeleton. Valereon pulls the blade free and finishes with a theatrical flourish.

Rapier: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 Deadly d8, Disarm, Finesse

Valereon waves his arms to catch Winnie’s attention, then tumbles around with playful acrobatic moves.

Acrobatics vs DC 18: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

The bear seems distracted, so Valereon quickly signals to his teammates. "It seems calmer now that it’s enjoying my performance. Someone make it flee or better yet, lure it away with some honey!"

Once he finishes, he smoothly pulls out his rapier.

Valereon:
◆◆Clap your claws vs Winnie
◆Interact to draw weapon

Valereon, wearing an impressed smile, watches Achurius drive back the angry spirits and Casey calm them.

"Excellent work, Achurius! You made those spirits think twice about coming near us. And Casey, beautifully done! You handled that like a pro."

He then turns to Lesley and winks. "And Lesley, it's pretty obvious that you intended to fail so the others could drive the spirits away successfully, right?"

Deception to Calm the Crowd vs DC 18: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 Success!

Valereon steps forward with a confident smile and raises his voice. "Everyone, please remain calm. The red rain is part of the carnival’s show. Quite the impressive effect, isn’t it?"

He gestures toward the carnival grounds as if everything is perfectly normal.

"There’s no need to panic. Just follow Mistress Hesla and Lord Ulthun's instructions, stay somewhere dry and enjoy the spectacle."

Valereon hopes that his confidence and calmness will convince the crowd that the strange rain is simply another carnival attraction.

Achurius and any of the the 3 PCs with only one Hero Point

"That's quite a performance." Valereon watches Casey move effortlessly with the bears, clearly impressed.

Valereon will not sneak.

Safe Bear: Acrobatics vs DC 17: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

With flourish, Valereon also joins one of the dancing bear and matches its movement. He spins, ducks, and moves smoothly around it, turning the dance into a surprisingly graceful performance. He finishes with a slow-motion spin followed by an elegant bow. "I'd say the bear and I made quite the team."

Despite catching the hint of insincerity in her words, Valereon maintains his pleasant smile. "Likewise, Madam Hesla. Your carnival and your cause are certainly a testament to your generosity and nobility."

He gives her a polite nod before turning to his companions. "Come along, everyone. It seems our work is needed elsewhere."

Deception to Lie + Bonus vs DC 22: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 = 17
HP: Deception to Lie + Bonus vs DC 22: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 1 = 29

For his next conversations with Hesla, Valereon is mindful of every word he says around her. He knows one careless remark could turn her against the Pathfinders.

"You know what Madam Hesla, I think we may have given you the wrong impression of the Pathfinder Society. We’re not here to cause trouble or get in the way."

He leans in slightly, lowering his voice as if sharing a friendly secret.

"Between you and me, I think someone like you could actually get along quite well with the Pathfinders. We appreciate people who are ambitious, resourceful, and willing to think outside the box.”

As the conversation comes to an end, Valereon flashes a charming smile.

"So perhaps you don't need to see us as outsiders. Think of us as potential friends who happen to be very good at finding interesting things."

Deception to Lie vs Hesla's Perception DC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

“The carnival is wonderful. We're having a great time and everything’s been very well put together. And of course, we’ve already donated to the cause. Happy to support such a good cause.” Valereon replies as he smiles innocently.

Perception vs DC 22: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Upon meeting the woman, Valereon notices a sharp, almost vicious glimmer in her eyes, like she’s waiting for someone to make a careless or embarrassing remark so she can pounce on it.

Valereon keeps his usual smile, but chooses his words carefully. "Best to watch what I say around her", he thinks to himself.

Perception vs DC 20: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Like the others, Valereon also notices the wind suddenly shift.

Valereon will vote for "Talk of the town".

Valereon spots a big fish and reaches out to catch it. “Now that’s a fish worth catching!”

Athletics vs DC 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

He grabs for it, but the fish slips away and splashes back into the water.

Valereon hasn't play any of the Dacilane Academy scenarios.

“Has anyone spotted a shop where we can rent or buy some fishing gear?” Valereon asks while glancing around the carnival.

Society to Recall Knowledge: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

Valereon studies the berries Urwal hands him, turning them over in his fingers and looks at them curiously. After a moment, he shrugs and eats them anyway. He grins and says, “Well, if I disappear, at least we’ll know why.”

When they arrive at the carnival, Valereon casually looks around, taking in the crowd and the people running the event. His eyes settle on the woman asking for donations. He gives the others a knowing look. “Am I the only one who thinks she’s a little too suspicious?”

As with Achurius, Valereon's instincts tell him something about Hesla's Fighting Fund doesn’t sit right. He'll skip on giving donations.

A tall, lean half-elf approaches with an easy smile. His neatly styled brown hair frames a pair of pointed ears and sharp brown eyes. His polished leather armor and rapier mark him as a skilled duelist, though his relaxed posture makes him look more like a charming traveler than a hardened adventurer.

He reads the invitation with an amused smile. “Food, games, dancing, and prizes? Sounds like fun. Anyone would be a fool to refuse.”

Spotting the other Pathfinders, he confidently introduces himself.

“Hi! I’m Valereon, the Starborn Duelist! I specialize in getting into places I shouldn’t, finding things people don’t want found, and getting out before anyone notices. It’s a pleasure to be working with you all!”

He leans toward Achurius and replies. “Every good carnival has some kind of mystery. Exciting, isn’t it?”

Hello everyone, Valereon just turned level 3. Will work on him tonight.

Friendly fire is okay for Valereon.

Thanks a lot everyone! This scenario was a lot of fun; the roleplaying was also intense! XD

A warm glow washes over Valereon as Kesha’s healing magic closes his wounds. “My thanks, Kesha,” he says with a grateful nod.

He then steps to hisa side, flanking the only enemy left (bloodseeker), and attempts a misleading attack.

Deception to Feint vs Enemy's Perception DC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Focus sharpens in his eyes as he slips into a heightened rhythm after faking an attack. Without hesitation, he follows through with a confident finishing strike, driving the rapier forward with practiced flair.

Rapier: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 Deadly d8, Disarm, Finesse
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Piercing

Valereon loses panache.

“Alright, you mitflits have had your fun,” Valereon confidently says. “Now let me show you how it’s done.”

With a flourish, he lunges toward Red in a dramatic feint, his blade sweeping wide to pull the creature’s attention.

Deception to Feint vs Target’s Perception DC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Valereon gains panache.

For a split second it seems like the real strike, but Valereon suddenly twists his wrist. The rapier changes direction in an instant. The steel moves forward with precise speed as he delivers the true attack, driving the blade toward the red mitflit in a clean, confident thrust.

Rapier: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Deadly d8, Disarm, Finesse Nat 20!
If crit:

Such a shame, most of the damage rolls are 1!
Valereon loses panache.

"That's how it's supposed to be done!"

Valereon pulls his rapier free, but the poison still burns through his system. His breath grows shallow and his vision blurs at the edges.

He forces a weak grin. “Alright, I’ve made my point,” he mutters.

Unsteady on his feet, he steps back from the fight, putting some distance between himself and the mitflits. One hand presses against the cave wall as he steadies himself, the other still gripping his rapier. “Your turn, my friends. I’d rather not die before the applause.”

After the dart hits Valereon, he feels a sting slowly intensifying unto his shoulder.

“Not very welcoming,” he mutters.

Badly injured, he quickly pulls out a minor healing potion and drinks it.

Minor Healing Potion: 1d8 ⇒ 2

He then draws his rapier and gets ready to join his comrades in battle.

“Alright, let’s finish this!” He says confidently as he chooses his target.

◆Interact to Draw Minor Healing Potion
◆Drink Minor Healing Potion
◆Interact to Draw Weapon

As Valereon steps into the cave, he pauses almost immediately. The darkness inside is thick, swallowing the passage ahead.

He squints into the shadows, then exhales with a small, amused smile, “My talents are many, but seeing in complete darkness is not one of them.”

He glances back at his companions. “Would anyone be kind enough to conjure a bit of light? I’d very much prefer spotting danger before it spots me.”

Valereon nods in agreement with the team. "All right then, let's head to Iron Cave and figure out who did this to Andor".

As they head toward the Iron Cave, he also keeps his eyes sharp, scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger or useful clues along the way.

Valereon's Exploration Activity: Search

Valereon pauses as the pieces fall into place.

A small, knowing smile appears. “So, we’re being misled and deceived by these so called mitflits,” he says calmly.

He folds his arms, unimpressed. “Clever. But not clever enough.”

Valereon will pass on the skill checks as he is not trained in any of them.

Valereon quickly studies the scene. The swarm density, wind direction, and his distance to the dog.

This is my first time attempting to create a distraction during combat so please feel free to correct me.

He decides to move closer. He pulls out his rapier and lightly cuts his palm then flicks a drop of blood onto a strip of cloth. In an attempt to draw their attention, he gracefully throws the cloth into the air and yells, "Look at that! Fresh blood!"

Create a distraction using Deception vs Perception DC of the Bloodseekers: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

If success, Valereon becomes hidden to each creature whose Perception DC is less than or equal to the result. He also gains panache.

If failure, Valereon don't divert the attention of any creatures whose Perception DC exceeds the result, and those creatures are aware that they were being tricked. He also gains panache but only until the end of his next turn.

Upon reaching the hill, Valereon's smile fades as he looks at the dolls nailed to the trees. “They look old, but not damaged,” he says. “They shouldn’t be in this good condition if they’ve been out here this long.”

Survival vs DC 15: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5

Valereon's eyes scan the area and notices the tiny sword on the ground. It's pretty much all that he observes.

Valereon exhales, eyes tracking the panicked horses as the wagon rattles out of control. Then, with a quick, graceful burst of motion, he runs, plants his feet on the ground, and springs upward.

1d20+8

“Easy now, beauties,” he says to the horses. “Let’s keep the drama stylish, not fatal.”

Forgot to indicate, but this was an acrobatics check.

Valereon exhales, eyes tracking the panicked horses as the wagon rattles out of control. Then, with a quick, graceful burst of motion, he runs, plants his feet on the ground, and springs upward.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

“Easy now, beauties,” he says to the horses. “Let’s keep the drama stylish, not fatal.”

Valereon nods toward Anji and Brimly. “We still have time,” he says. “I agree, heading to Witchtop Hill sounds like the right move if we want to keep this investigation going.”

Hearing the priest’s irritation, Valereon discreetly steps back from view and quickly rummages through his disguise kit. Moments later, he reappears in more subdued attire, posture calmer, expression respectfully composed.

Impersonate using Deception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

He offers Regis a polite nod.

“Apologies, I should’ve introduced myself properly,” he says smoothly. “I follow Tsukiyo’s teachings as well. I heard there was a priest here tending to someone troubled, so I thought I’d pay my respects and perhaps see if any help was needed.”

His tone stays gentle and sincere, just convincing enough to sound natural. “No intrusion meant, just quiet support.”

Valereon nods toward Kesha and Brimly. “Checking the smithy, then the inn, isn't such a bad idea,” he says. “If the brewery taught us anything, it’s that information tends to hide in plain sight. Witchtop Hill might be the center of all this, but gathering information and making preparations before confronting the Mosquito Witch is a strategic thing to do."

I'll go with Brimly too. We'll probably know when it's almost nighttime. Then that's the time we camp outside the house.

Valereon looks over the calf, then gives Galia a calm nod.

“Can’t blame you for hesitating, that’s a lot of trouble for a small house. But don’t worry, we’ll come back tonight. If those bloodseekers show up again, they’ll have to deal with us."

He turns to the party and says, “How about we check somewhere nearby so we can get back before nightfall?”

He points toward a building nearby. “Hart’s Brewery is right there. Clues, rumors, and maybe a drink... all excellent tools for investigation!”

Valereon and Bartok, I've inserted you into the marching order. I put Valereon first, since he's level 2, and Bartok ahead of Brimly because he's got more hit points. Feel free to rearrange yourselves if I guessed wrong.

Thank you for this GM, I'm fine with being the team's frontliner.

Valereon gives Galia a reassuring smile and swats at a mosquito.

“Easy now, we’re here to help,” he says calmly to the gnome. He takes the offered drink, sips it, then raises the cup in approval. “Hey, this is actually really good. Mostly mosquito-free and refreshing, impressive!”

“The abandoned farm sounds like the perfect place to start,” Valereon says, nodding to Kesha and Brimly. “If there’s a cause behind this mosquito plague, I’d wager it’s waiting for us there.”

During their conversation at the pathfinder lodge, Valereon notices a familiar face. "Hey, Kesha! Fate really does enjoy reruns huh?! How’ve you been?” He chuckles, shaking his head. “From a creepy night hag to a mosquito witch. Honestly, if this keeps up, we should start charging extra for nightmares.”

Valereon then flashes a confident grin and gives Bridget a light, approving nod. “Now that’s a plan,” he says. “We charm Galia, squeeze some truth out of those old witnesses, then take a stroll up Witchtop Hill and see if the legend still has teeth. I’m very curious to meet this witch.”

Valereon takes one minor healing potion as his pathfinder provision

“Fifty years of hunters, souvenirs, and no answers...” Valereon pauses for a moment. “That’s either the best scam I’ve ever heard of, or something very clever doesn’t want to be found,” he thinks to himself.

Keeping his suspicions to himself, he waits as his companions try to remember anything useful about the so-called "Mosquito Witch".

Valereon, a deceptive half-elf, arrives in Shimmerford with the easy stride of a man who looks like he belongs wherever rumors gather. Tall and lean, silver hair neatly styled despite the river wind, he wears his leather armor like a performer’s costume rather than a soldier’s kit. His blue eyes scan the village stalls, the witch dolls, and the faded festival banners.

“A town that sells souvenirs of its own nightmare,” he murmurs, faintly amused. “Bold. Questionable. Profitable.”

The buzz of bloodseekers cuts through the air, and his smile tightens just a bit as his hand finds his rapier. “Still…” he adds, “…when the folklore starts biting back, that’s usually my cue to get involved.”

Valereon stabs red with grace and precision.

Rapier vs Red: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
