Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

The old knight is especially somber at the sight of refugees flooding the streets.

"Can you update us on the situation with the Whispering Tyrant?"

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

"Sire, please allow my experience to guide you past this challenge; it would be my honor."

Through shear force of will, he propels Thorax through the first archway.

Checking box 1 of 2 on my Lastwall Debt boon.

Religion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

The old Knight nods in agreeance as he brings Thorax a third plate of food.

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

"Sire, here is your usual regimen of potions from the Grand Lodge, as well as a few items that I would highly advise for any trip into demon-infested lands."

Purchasing 2x Antidote (3gp/ea) and 2x Antiplague (3gp/ea); should probably buy a Cold Iron weapon or arrows... but they're so expensive.

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

"Most goblins I've encountered love fireworks," the old knight chuckles, "but sire has single-mindedly focused on preparing for the eating competitions this year."

He opens up a belt pouch and hands Thorax two curative potions before turning to Amenopheus and asking, "Is there someone in particular we should speak with at the docks?"

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

"Sire! The blue potion! Drink it now!"

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

The old knight unwraps and hands two potions to Thorax.

"The blue one, sire, will help you to breathe underwater. With Sea Devils about, you'll probably need to swim at some point."

Nodding to Mirian, he adds, "Could you enlighten them as to the threat posed by Sahuagin?"

Religion, Recall Knowledge about Undead: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

The old knight contemplates the situation.

"This is not one of Tar-Baphon's creations, and I have built my reputation upon upholding the rule of law. We should help his soul to find rest. Any one of us would wish the same in his shoes."

He then turns to make eye contact with Marcon.

"But I am also aware that undeath is a powerful force. If you lose control, we will be forced to smite you, and your secret will die with you. But if you can guarantee us you will cause no harm, then we will do our due diligence to make sure your words are heard."

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

The learned knight spends quite a while reading the text to Thorax and explaining the repercussions of what it could mean, but in a practiced manner like a parent would teach to their child.

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

"That was a dark day, indeed," says the knight as he begins to towel off his leggings. "These caverns are ancient. And ancient sites have no shortage of the undead, in my experience."

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

"They... they put *me* in the play? I don't know how I feel about that..."

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

The aging knight sips his tea, compliments the staff, and picks at a couple pieces of sashimi, using chopsticks with practiced etiquette and skill.

He adds, "And the caravan itself. These settlements are likely used to many travelers. What descriptions can we provide to the locals?"

And then, as if in afterthought, "Do we have anyone here who speaks Minkaian?"

Silver Crusade

*sigh*

The Iomedaean knight reads the list out loud for the Goblins.

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

vs. Horse
Religion (recall knowledge about undead): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

vs. Others
Religion (recall knowledge about undead): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

"Master Thorax, I regret to inform you that I haven't been keeping up on my studies as of late!"

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

The Watcher-Lord clutches his holy symbol of Iomedae.

"It is true. I owe a debt of gratitude to Master Thorax for leading my troop away from Tar Baphon's frontline. Can you tell us of any known threats?"

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

"Look, sire, it has your name engraved on the inside," which Thorax tries to avoid reading. "Well, at least nobody can accuse you of stealing it!"

Thank you so much for GMing!

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

*sigh*

"Come along, sire. Your friends have put the poor soul to rest."

He reassures the goblin with a piece of jerky.

When they're back with the group, he explains, "You wouldn't know it by this interaction, but Master Thorax is usually steadfast in the face of undeath. Spirits, however," he chuckles, "I think he fears those more than reading."

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

"Sire, I forgot to mention this upon our arrival, but Master Farabellus wanted to entrust these in your keeping for the journey."

The paladin hands over a lesser healing potion and a minor healing potion to the Goblin.

Everyone! Don't forget your free consumables!

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

"Sire, you really should learn to read. I can't keep doing this for you forever."

*cough* a-ahem *clears throat*

"Pathfinder,

I do hope you’ll join us at the Grand Lodge for the celebration to congratulate the most recent group of initiates. I have to say, I’m proud of how far you’ve come since you were an initiate, and I look forward to seeing you support the next generation of Pathfinders. Besides that, gatherings like this are an excellent opportunity to rub elbows with the Society’s leadership and get to know them. That means you’ll always be quick to know about the best opportunities as soon as they arise. I hope you’ll take advantage of the event to put your best foot forward.

I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

—Janira Gavix, Pathfinder Society Head Initiate"

Religion (recall knowledge about undead): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

"Sire, I believe these are..."

Ulthun will relay whatever information that result reveals and Thorax will have to delay until there's room to move in.

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

The aging knight adjusts his spectacles and attempts to identify the undead figures in the carvings...

Religion (recall knowledge about undead): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

"Sire, I am afraid I fail to recall what these carvings depict. Perhaps time has eroded them beyond proper recognition."

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

"Sire, I nearly forgot to mention this back in the city, but Master Farabellus wanted to entrust these in your keeping for the journey."

The paladin hands over a lesser healing potion and a minor healing potion to the Goblin.

Everyone! Don't forget your free consumables!

Silver Crusade

(Thorax's Ally Boon)

A rail-thin, aging human wearing armor emblazoned with the symbol of Iomedae peeks his head from around the corner.

"Yes, indeed, my good fellows. I will be accompanying you on your journey. But, I must be quite frank. My debt is to the goblin."

He then goes back to sentry duty.
