Thanks!

GM, would Stuinvolk qualify for the faction mission below:

Recruit a named NPC scholar, archaeologist, extraplanar authority, or similar figure to join the Scarab Sages. Recruitment
requires a Diplomacy or Knowledge (local) check (DC = 15 + your character level).

Diplomacy DC 20=15+5: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Thanks a lot!!! ;-)

”This mission really was a true success! And it was a little strange as well ... exactly my taste! But what intruiged me most is that we brought a fellow Pathfinder back from the shadows and ... that I was able to meet you Roldala!“ she says with a smile.

”I am thinking back at the almost mortal wound I suffered through the stinger ... and the force with which you ended this undead ant’s existence Roldala. Thank you!“

She looks at the whole team.

”I wish you all the power to hold your mind together and luck to succeed in the battles to come! May Chaldira be with you ... “ Zaarah says and touches the pendant with the holy symbol of her goddess.

Ah, right! So Zaarah also tries to relay what it says for those that did not eat the termite.

"I once commanded many swarms. Swarms like no other has seen before. But, I was once denied power by those who walk on two legs. This time, will not be like that before. For you are not Jatembe."

So GM, if Zaarah speaks neither Aklo nor Necro then she cannot roll linguistics?

I would roll both knowledge checks revealing the characteristics of the base or the template with the separate checks but I believe some just roll the new type. So it is up to you GM. ;)

Me neither.

Zaarah checks the tunnels with her engineering skills.

kn engineering : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Zaarah’s eyes widen.

”Fantastic! Termites! Let me chew ... Oh ... ehhh ... not really bad ... but not good either!“ she says while eating the termites.

Then she starts walking in and tries to use her dexterity to get through.

Escape Artist : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Zaarah thinks for a moment.

”Wow! That was easy! Yes! Let’s go!“

Zaarah already starts walking to the ant hill.

Zaarah scratches her head and thinks about her own words.

"Well, I am also nice ... sometimes ... but if your ants are as kinky as they look like then I can be nice to you too! Maybe a little cure for me too when you have time to spare ... ha ha ... " she says but in the middle of the sentence starts laughing, "... no ... ha ha ... no ... just kidding! I like my current form of bad looks!" she continues with a sly smile.

Diplomacy aid: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

[spoiler=Opportune Parry & Reposte]
In case Zaarah is attacked she uses 'Opportune Parry' and parries by expending an AoO to parry and spends a panache point (so if the attack roll of tshe opponent is lower than Zaarah's parry then the opponent does not hit and Zaarah could potentially reposte)

Opportune Parry: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

In case Zaarah successfully parries she uses 'Reposte' as an immediate action to attack the opponent that attacked her.

As the beast flees Zaarah thinks a moment to follow but then starts smiling and then laughing!

Next day:

Fortitude : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Zaarah tries to help Roldala with navigation ... unfortunately she has no orientation.

Survival aid : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

But she uses the time to talk to Roldala.

”Wow, you really pack a punch!! Good to have you with us to be our guide AND protector! But I am also wondering how we can really get rid of this beast?“

Zaarah approaches Stuinvolk.

”How are you today?? I have my experience with crazy so maybe we have to get rid of this thing only after you have found closure! We are with you on this path!“ she says smiling.

GM, I forgot my flanking bonus so all attack rolls are 2 higher. Sorry!

Zaarah makes a small step to flank and uses her arcane power to enhance her black blade.

5 ft step then Swift action: Spend one point of Arcane Pool to turn her Black Blade Scimitar +1 into a +2 weapon for 10 rounds.

”The heat us unbearable but you have to admit that the Mzaili letting us leave without a fight means they also can change!“

Zaarah tries to get an understanding of Stuinvolk’s feeling.

”I know that something in you still feels the pain. We are here with you!“

Diplomacy : 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Zaarah bows as she did not understand what the lady said but it seems that they found and understanding so she is willing to comply.

"Thank you very much!" Zaarah says.

Zaarah tries her linguistics training to use body language to communicate and explain that we only are traveling and do not want to enter their territory at all and that it would be kind of them to let us pass.

Linguistics to communicate : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

I do not know if the fey is in their territory or not so if Bluff is needed see below.

”Stuinvolk, I am really glad that you were able to relax a little bit in the last couple of days and I am sure that your decision to come back here was the right one! Let us hope that together we will be able to overcome any hurdles that we encounter!“ Zaarah says confidently.

Zaarah is a little surprised.

”You really think that these were the voices of your companions?! I want you to know that we are now here together and will stand at your side!“

Diplomacy : 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

”Hey Stuinvolk, you seem distant. What is going on? You are back with the Pathfinders enjoying the wilderness!! Ha ha! Just kidding. I know the heat is a pain!“ Zaarah says trying to be funny.

Diplomacy to influence : 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Discovery- Sense Motive : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Gold is always the same. ;-)

GM, can we decide to play high tier with 4 player adjustment?

Some scenarios are even deadly if everyone is at the high end of the tier. What about this one? ;-)

Zarzuket and Pip are awesome. Really had to laugh! ;-)

Hmmm ... hard to achieve the level decrease now, right? If GM PDK would come in with a character up to level 5 our APL would (rounded down) drop to 5.

Fort : 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 4 = 10

non lethal damage : 2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

Zaarah also looks at Stuinvolk with a smile on her face.

"You seem to know what you want to achieve. Would you enlighten us on your goals during this mission dear Stuinvolk?" Zaarah asks.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
