Let me know if we can enter the downtime stuff, or if you wish to make the edits yourself. Other than that everything looks good on my end!

GM Valen: Zzorn will spend his downtime and 2PP in order to check one of the three boxes of his Senatorial Candidate boon, representing his campaigning and maneuvering to gain political support.

Let me know if we can enter the downtime stuff, or if you wish to make the edits yourself. Other than that everything looks good on my end!

This was a great game GM Valen! thank you!

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Zzorn observes Lauranna's assault and weakly says, almost under his breath, "Heyyyy... oh noooo... someone... do something... h-hellllp... heeellllllllp..."

Zzorn tries to knock down the 'Lady'.

Move: towards Black; Standard: Breaker Rush (Improved Overrun) vs. Black

Breaker Rush vs. Black, Improved Overrun, IC: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 1 = 31 vs. Black's CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg vs. Black: 12 + 1 = 13 and Zzorn moves through Black's square (target may not choose to avoid Zzorn)
Success Exceeds CMD by 5 or more: target is also prone

@GM: Map updated assuming Improved Overrun exceeded CMD by 5; AC 23 due to rage; HP: 77/77; TEMP HP: 2/2; NOTE: Zzorn has the Disruptive feat, so the DC to cast spells defensively increases by +4 for all enemies that are within his threatened area.

Zzorn joins the prehistoric fray!

Swift: Armored Vigor; Free: rage; Free: draw sword as part of move; Move: towards Blue; Standard: Breaker Rush (Greater Bull Rush) vs. Blue&Green (grants an AoO to Blarg against Blue and Green). If there is another creature in the way of your bull rush, you must immediately make a combat maneuver check to bull rush that creature. You take a –4 penalty on this check for each creature being pushed beyond the first. If you are successful, you can continue to push the creatures a distance equal to the lesser result. For example, if a fighter bull rushes a goblin for a total of 15 feet, but there is another goblin 5 feet behind the first, he must make another combat maneuver check against the second goblin after having pushed the first 5 feet. If his check reveals that he can push the second goblin a total of 20 feet, he can continue to push both goblins another 10 feet (since the first goblin will have moved a total of 15 feet); Free: if Breaker Rush is successful, Breaker Momentum (Improved Overrun) vs. Blue; NOTE: (if Improved Overrun successful, Zzorn keeps moving west through Blue's new square; not subject to AoO from Blue&Green but subject to AoO from Black and Yellow)

Rage, Breaker Rush vs. Blue, Greater Bull Rush: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19 vs. Blue's CMD
GM 4-star shirt reroll: 1d20 + 17 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 4 = 37 vs. Blue's CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg vs. Blue: 12 = 12 + Blue moved southwest into Green

Rage, Breaker Rush vs. Green, Greater Bull Rush, -4 penalty for 2nd creature: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 17 - 4 = 22 vs. Green's CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg vs. Green: 12 = 12 + Green moved southwest as well

Breaker Momentum vs. Blue, Improved Overrun: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24 vs. Blue's CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg vs. Blue: 12 = 12 and Zzorn moves through Blue's square (target may not choose to avoid Zzorn)
Success Exceeds CMD by 5 or more: target is also prone

@GM: Map updated; I have assumed both Blue and Green were pushed 5 feet southwest with the Greater Bull Rush and that Zzorn succeeded at Improved Overrun on Blue and made him prone (please rectify is some of these checks were unsuccessful)

Zzorn's movement provokes an AoO from Black and Yellow; AC 23 due to rage; HP: 77/77; TEMP HP: 2/2

"FRIENDS! NOT FOES! PREPARE SOME HEALING! QUICK!"

Zzorn goes around the trap, not wanting to risk getting a giant log in the face. Once safely around the trap area, he climbs to the nest.

Climb: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Auto-succeeds Perception...

"Everyone! there's two cocooned individuals still alive up here! I'm lowering them to you: get ready to attend them!"

Zzorn joins Driskarr's roar with his own and wades into battle!

Free: rage; Move: towards Yellow; Standard: Breaker Rush (Greater Bull Rush) vs. Yellow (grants an AoO to Driskarr against Yellow); Free: if Breaker Rush is successful, Breaker Momentum (Improved Overrun); NOTE: (if Improved Overrun successful, Zzorn keeps moving east through Yellow's new square; not subject to AoO from Yellow but subject to AoO from Blue)

Rage, Breaker Rush vs. Yellow, Greater Bull Rush, IC: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 17 + 1 = 25 vs. Yellow's CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg, IC: 12 + 1 = 13 + Yellow moved east + Breaker Momentum (see below)

Breaker Momentum vs. Yellow, Improved Overrun, IC: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 1 = 26 vs. Yellow's CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg, IC: 12 + 1 = 13 and Zzorn moves through Yellow's new square (target may not choose to avoid Zzorn)
Success Exceeds CMD by 5 or more: see 'Success' above and target is also prone

@GM: Map updated; I have assumed the CMD has been exceeded by at least 5 with the Improved Overrun and that Yellow is now prone, but please put Yellow upright again if that is not the case.

AC 23 due to rage; HP: 77/77; TEMP HP: 2/2

Zzorn pulls out an antitoxin and drinks it. He slams his fist against his armored chest, getting ready for battle!

Move to pull out vial; Standard to drink; Swift for Armored Vigor

AC 25 T12 FF23; HP: 77/77; TEMP HP: 2/2

Zzorn chucks a spear at the monstrous thing... vs. blue

spear, 2nd range increment: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 2 = 15
piercing dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

@GM: placed the 60' cone on the map, in case other minds are present in the woods. I'll wait until tomorrow in case more info is made available due to the template's positioning on the map.

Noting the presence of sentient thoughts out there somewhere, but not on the 'crawling man', Zzorn further pushes his mask's powers to enhance his understanding in regards to unknown languages...

Standard action to cast comprehend languages just in case this comes in handy here... duration: 30 min

He also tries to discern the man's fashion or armor style:
Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Or if noble, or serving a noble, his house's colors or family crest:
Knowledge Nobility: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28

He then tells the Pathfinders, "This man is dead... and someone is pulling the strings. This is desecration, pure and simple!"

Raising his voice, "COME OUT, YOU SICK PUPPETEER! I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE! STOP PLAYING WITH THIS MAN'S CORPSE AND SHOW YOURSELF, AND WE'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO SURRENDER! KEEP THIS UP, AND YOU'LL FEEL OUR WRATH!"

"This man is unconscious or paralyzed!"

Trying to ascertain if the man's even alive, Zzorn activates his unseen relic to detect thoughts in the direction of the man.

Swift action to mentally activate his Subtle Mask to cast detect thoughts (Will DC 17) - 60' cone (positioning TBD - no map at the moment)

Perception vs. retriggered pit trap: auto-success
STR check DC 13 to... remove the other hand??? huh... ok: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Not sure what this just looked like, but I'm sure Lauranna will probably/maybe/be tempted to sing a song about this... LOL

==================

Zzorn asks someone to tap him with own wand. No song about this one please, Lauranna... ;)
Wand of CLW 1 chrg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

==================

Seeing the man crawl towards them, Zzorn notices the threads and tells the others, "By Kurgess! what are these translucent threads attached to the man's arms, leg, and neck?!? hopefully not some zombie-like necromancer's puppetry... SIR! CAN YOU UNDERSTAND US?"

Zzorn draws his sword awaiting to see if the man is responsive.

Sense Motive to see if the man is self-aware, mindless or under some kind of mind-control: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Zzorn pulls out his Wayfinder, and tries to navigate this maze.

Survival, Wayfinder: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 19
Survival, Wayfinder: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 = 24

Once at the top of the pit, Zzorn helps Driskarr out. He then ties the rope securely to the pit trap cover, and pulls hard, holding it firm in the upright position.

"There, folks, you can just walk across! I'm pretty sure I've lifted your combined weight in some of Taldor's strongman competitions!"

Max load: 300lbs. Lift max: 600lbs. Drag capacity: 1,500lbs.

Zzorn throws his rope up. "If you all don't mind holding to one end of it collectively..." After the rope is secured Zzorn climbs out auto-succeeds wall and rope DC and joins the others holding the rope firmly for Driskarr.

Zzorn reaches for a nearby tree root as the ground below him open up!

Reflex DC 20: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

His hand slips due to the sweat from the hike and the moss on the tree root. He falls and a spike jabs upwards into his right leg.

Fort DC 12 vs poison: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Zzorn manages to squeeze out most of the venom by rubbing his leg vigorously in a downwards motion, in the opposite direction the sharp bamboo stick went in, and by spitting several times on his hand and rubbing the spit into the wound to dilute the toxic goo...

Zzorn immediately takes out an antitoxin vial, removes the cork, and brings it to Driskarr's beak even before the tengu has time to react to the poisonous spikes now piercing him in two spots. "Nasty stuff, here, quick! drink this Driskarr!"

Administering vial of antitoxin to Driskarr as a full-round action; in Round 2, Zzorn will also drink one in case of more traps or encounter down the road (if the party is close to the 4 hour destination - if not, he will save it for later once they get at final location)

"Hmmm... I can see how that could be interpreted as problematic. However she could simply argue that she wanted to keep a tight rein on the mission. She could have also instructed the Captain to keep the true reason of this mission out of his logs. I think we should perhaps... sit on this information for now, but be on our guard for potential 'surprises' from this particular 'Lady' yes?"

Before leaving the Hanspur's Luck, Zzorn harvests some of the poison from the giant spiders using his newly purchased kit.

Zzorn quietly activates his magic ring to understand all the documents and labels they found, including Driskarr's newfound vials.

Comprehend Languages, CL 3rd, duration 30min

He then gathers the Pathfinders to share what he's found. "Sirius, one of these potions may be all you need to regain your strength- if these labels are to be trusted, they are all potions of lesser restoration."

Seeing the disbelieving eyebrow of Koani, Zzorn adds, "Do you smell a fish, Koani? what do you think? the Black Marquis did tell us that Lady Riverbane sent the Hanspur's Luck here... that is in keeping with this log is it not?"

Zzorn swings at the spider before him. vs. Green

Free: rage; Full-round action: full attack (vs. Green; if it falls after 1st attack, moving south towards Blue)

+1 Falchion vs. Green: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
magic slashing dmg: 2d4 + 16 ⇒ (2, 2) + 16 = 20

+1 Falchion vs. Green, iterative: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 5 = 12
magic slashing dmg: 2d4 + 16 ⇒ (3, 4) + 16 = 23

AC 23 due to rage ; HP: 77/77; Temp HP: 2/2

Free: rage; Full-round action: full attack (vs. Green; if it falls after 1st attack, moving east of Siris next to Yellow)

Sirius designated as Chosen Ally: Whenever the Ulfen Guard is adjacent to his chosen ally, he can choose to take a –1 penalty to his AC to grant his ally a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. If he is adjacent to his chosen ally, he can also use his Deflect Arrows ability to deflect a ranged attack targeting his chosen ally.

AC 22 due to rage and chosen ally (Sirius); HP: 77/77; Temp HP: 2/2

Zzorn steps up to the frontline to assist Sirius.

Free: rage; Full-round action: full attack (starting with Red, but switching to Green if Red falls on the 1st attack)

+1 Falchion vs. Red: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
magic slashing dmg: 2d4 + 16 ⇒ (3, 4) + 16 = 23

+1 Falchion vs. Red or Green, iterative: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 5 = 11
magic slashing dmg: 2d4 + 16 ⇒ (3, 3) + 16 = 22

Sirius designated as Chosen Ally: Whenever the Ulfen Guard is adjacent to his chosen ally, he can choose to take a –1 penalty to his AC to grant his ally a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. If he is adjacent to his chosen ally, he can also use his Deflect Arrows ability to deflect a ranged attack targeting his chosen ally.

AC 22 due to rage and chosen ally (Sirius); HP: 77/77; Temp HP: 2/2

Zzorn attempts to burst through his bonds!

Free: rage; Swift: Armored Vigor; Standard: burst the web

Burst the web, STR DC 12: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

AC 23 due to rage; HP: 77/77; Temp HP: 2/2

Zzorn takes 10 on the Waverender for Perception 21

"Lady Riverbane! found some interesting charts here on the Waverender. Take a look..." says Zzorn, handing over the documents. "I'm no sailor, but maybe this'll help us avoid running aground on a sandbank and ensure a smoother passage upriver..."

=============================

The next morning

Zzorn performs his exercises on the upper deck and breaks his fast with nuts, berries, and any eggs or meats offered by Lady Riverbane's cook. As they get closer to the barge he readies his buckler and falchion, and checks the straps on his backpack, bandolier and belt. He nods at Lady Riverbane's suggestion and jumps on the barge's deck, beginning his inspection.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Zzorn sees that Jaako needs no help and thus heads back to the ship's bow to deal with the red archer.

Free: Rage; Move: towards red; Standard: Breaker Rush (Greater Bull Rush)

Breaker Rush vs. Black archer, Greater Bull Rush, IC: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 17 + 1 = 38 vs. CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg, IC: 12 + 1 = 13 + target is pushed back 5 feet; for every 5 by which the attack exceeds CMD target pushed back an additional 5 feet.
CONFIRM CRIT: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 17 + 1 = 21 vs. CMD
Success: additional bludgeoning dmg, IC: 12 + 1 = 13

Map updated; I assumed a CMD 38 exceeds by at least 10; i.e. 15 feet away from Zzorn and into the water below

AC 23 due to rage; HP: 77/77; Temp HP: 2/2

I'm guessing because they're archers?

Zzorn sees Jaako in trouble and tries to push one of his assailants overboard.

Free: Rage; Move: towards black; Standard: Breaker Rush (Greater Bull Rush)

Breaker Rush vs. Black archer, Greater Bull Rush, IC: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 17 + 1 = 31 vs. CMD
Blur Miss 01-20: 1d100 ⇒ 34 All good...
Success: bludgeoning dmg, IC: 12 + 1 = 13 + target is pushed back 5 feet; for every 5 by which the attack exceeds CMD target pushed back an additional 5 feet. Greater Bull Rush: that movement provokes AoOs from allies; Jaako gets an AoO!

Map updated; I assumed a CMD 31 exceeds by at least 5; i.e. 10 feet away from Zzorn and into the water below

Jaako designated as Chosen Ally: Whenever the Ulfen Guard is adjacent to her chosen ally, she can choose to take a –1 penalty to her AC to grant her ally a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. If she is adjacent to her chosen ally, she can also use her Deflect Arrows ability to deflect an arrow targeting her chosen ally.

AC 22 due to rage and chosen ally (Jaako); HP: 77/77; Temp HP: 2/2

@Lauranna: apologies for overlooking your buff; usually the GM puts them in the initiative tracker to make them 'official' so I wasn't sure they were active or not yet...

Inspired by Lauranna's song, Zzorn sidesteps to the northwest and then tries to tackle the yellow-haired archer overboard.

Free: Rage; Free: 5 ft. step; Standard: Breaker Rush (Greater Bull Rush)

Breaker Rush vs. Yellow archer, Greater Bull Rush, IC: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 1 = 30 vs. CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg, IC: 12 + 1 = 13 + target is pushed back 5 feet; for every 5 by which the attack exceeds CMD target pushed back an additional 5 feet.

Map updated; I assumed a CMD 30 exceeds by at least 5; i.e. 10 feet away from Zzorn and into the water below

AC 23 due to rage; HP: 77/77; Temp HP: 2/2

In battle Zzorn always has his falchion and buckler readied as per stats; sorry if I wasn't clear on this

Zzorn tries to slash at the archer with the purple scarf as it moves past him.

AoO vs. Purple, +1 falchion: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
magic slashing dmg: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (3, 3) + 10 = 16

He then tries to slam it into the ship's forecastle.

Free: Rage; Standard: Breaker Rush (Greater Bull Rush); Free: 5-ft step north

Breaker Rush vs. Purple archer, Greater Bull Rush: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35 vs. CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg: 12 = 12 + target is pushed back 5 feet; for every 5 by which the attack exceeds CMD target pushed back an additional 5 feet.

Map updated; I assumed a CMD 35 exceeds by at least 5; i.e. 10 feet away from Zzorn and into the wall of the forecastle

AC 23 due to rage; HP: 77/77; Temp HP: 2/2

Dirty clothes I guess?

Deflect Arrows feat kicks in.

Zzorn grabs the arrow in midair before it hits him, and tosses it in the river, wagging his finger at the offending archer. "You're next, bad archer lady, but now, I must deal with Beardo over here!"

Free: Rage; Standard: Breaker Rush (Greater Bull Rush); Swift: armored vigor (+2 temp HPs); Move: moving 6 squares towards black archer

Breaker Rush vs. Black beard guy, Greater Bull Rush: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37 vs. CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg: 12 = 12 + target is pushed back 5 feet; for every 5 by which the attack exceeds CMD target pushed back an additional 5 feet. (hopefully enough to send him far into the waters below...)

Map updated; I assumed a CMD 37 exceeds by at least 10; i.e. 15 feet away from Zzorn, but if more please add extra squares as applicable

AC 23 due to rage; HP: 77/77; Temp HP: 2/2

================

Breaker Rush CONFIRM CRIT: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30 vs. CMD
Success: additional bludgeoning dmg: 12 = 12

Bite or claw attacks are considered slashing dmg.

Zzorn takes one step to towards the stern, winks at the black-bearded pirate, and 'playfully' shoves the blue-eyed archer into the water.

5-ft step and Standard: Breaker Rush Greater Bull Rush

Breaker Rush, Greater Bull Rush, vs. Red: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21 vs. CMD
Zzorn miss 01-20: 1d100 ⇒ 30
Success: bludgeoning dmg: 12 = 12 + target is pushed back 5 feet

Thx for the update GM Valen! sorry for the extra work...

@GM Valen: sorry I wasn't more clear, but I've updated the map showing the direction of my bull rush, and the resulting location of the red archer if I beat her CMD and if I beat her CMD by 5+ - apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused - maneuvers are sometimes hard to convey properly in PbP... PS: Zzorn's bull rush also inflicted 12 pts. of dmg on Red; thx!

Sorry forgot to roll my miss chance... Zzorn miss 01-20: 1d100 ⇒ 77

"Board us? BOARD THEM!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Zzorn jumps the gap between the two ships and tackles the archer with red scarf, trying to send her into the water!

Automakes DC 10 Acrobatics; Move: jumps the gap and goes into square between red and blue; Free: Rage; Standard: Breaker Rush Greater Bull Rush

Breaker Rush, Greater Bull Rush, vs. Red: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20 vs. CMD
Success: bludgeoning dmg: 12 = 12 + target is pushed back 5 feet; for every 5 by which the attack exceeds CMD target pushed back an additional 5 feet.

The pirate woman turns back towards Zzorn and quietly instructs through gritted teeth, “I suggest that if you Pathfinders wish to remain in my good graces that you gently remind that woman that she is not the captain of this ship--but, that I am.”

“You had better warn that one, too, adds Captain Riverbane.

"Oh no, Captain Riverbane. I am not in charge or responsible for the other Pathfinders here. Whatever title and responsibility I may have outside of the Pathfinder Society carries no authority outside of Taldor. If you must address discipline on your ship, I suggest you do so personally, directly and immediately. You see, I'm usually the funny one... comic relief and all... but in this case...", says Zzorn, looking at the pirate costume from one and hearing the declaration of thieving skills from another, "...I got nothing. They surpass any attempt at comedy I could ever try... I'll be up near the bow, serving as a spotter if that's ok with you; if not, tell me where I should go so that I do not hinder your crew, MIlady."

With that, Zzorn nods at the Captain, installs himself comfortably near the bow, and stays well out of her way and the crew's while they slip the boat off to the river.

Perception to spot things floating ahead of the bow or incoming boats or creatures: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Map updated with Zzorn's location

Zzorn takes in the sights and chats with the townsfolk in a relaxed manner while waiting for their ferry to be ready. While purchasing a bag of mixed nuts - all already shelled by local workers, then combined with several local varieties of dried fruits, which was a wonderful idea he thought! - he is then convinced to try various local brandies and other smaller samples of various regional liqueurs. Upon imbibing the last few samples, one of which a green and sweet minty alcoholic concoction, he is then informed that...

Gather Information: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

...the inventor of the said concoction is an alchemist going by the name of Zukka Nephmet - who left a few days ago on a boat named the Hanspur's Luck, coincidentally also bound for the Echo Wood! Upon sharing with the apothecary that he also shares the same destination in the days ahead, he also learns that one of the unlucky ones they've been sent to rescue went by the name 'Larkus Lockinvar'.

Returning to the group, Zzorn relays the information, and also adds, "Apparently this alchemist, Zukka Nephmet, regularly roams the forest to find herbal components- perhaps we will meet him along the way!"

As the group reaches the ship, he smiles upon receiving Lady Riverbane's warm welcome, saying, "It is an honor to travel with such a fine crew and captain, Lady Riverbane! on this ship, you have the gods' authority, and as such, you also have my sword, at your service! pleased to meet you as well, Andrezi, Esmerelda, Fox, Thorpe, Tormer, and Viorel. I am Zzorn. Let me know how I can help during this trip."

After a few moments, he takes Lady Riverbane aside and with hushed tones - while the rest of the crew mingles with the Pathfinders - adds, "Know anything about this Zukka Nephmet alchemist? apparently he left for the Echo Wood a few days ago on the Hanspur's Luck. Also, do you have information on a certain Larkus Lockinvar, one of the missing member of the previous expedition? what about the rest of that team? any information you may have on these people could help us down the road, Milady."

Great idea Mahesh! here's my main 'noble' PC (PDK here)

Baron Zzorn Eilif, Huscarl to Princess Eutropia Stavian
Political Aspirations - Senatorial Candidate boon; Rising Aristocrat - House Merrosett boon; Rising Star boon; Taldan Courtier boon; Noble Title vanity; Noble of Taldor boon; Lion Blade vanity; Ulfen Guard vanity; Height of Fashion vanity; with Personal Guard boon "Tellendrak the Third" watching his back...; and sporting an Inherited Diamond Inlay Messenger Wayfinder! :)
Holdings Location: Falling River, Krearis Prefecture, Taldor

Zzorn thanks the Marquis profusely for his generous assistance, and heads to the town square for a few purchaces.

Purchasing: Antitoxin x3, rations and some ale, as well as a Harvester's Kit

Zzorn arrives slightly late, but still within the acceptable time. Upon seeing Lauranna spin her tale and song, he applauds vigorously, adding "Bravo, BRAVO! Lady Cindel, if I'm not mistaken yes? your reputation precedes you, and has not been exaggerated. Allow me to purchase a round for you and the rest of our assembly in honor of this fine song, tonight after the meeting if I may?"

"I want this book, and you’ll get it for me."

"Of course Venture-Captain. We will do our best. Do you have a description of the book's appearance, and whether or not our mages and priests have deemed it magical in nature?"

Following the Venture-Captain's additional details, Zzorn leads the party to a fine restaurant by the most direct route and upon arriving - this was Daggermark, after all - orders immediately five items from the menu at random, paying extra for a 'rush' order. In hushed tones, he adds, leaning towards Lady Cindel, "Please tell me you have a subtle way to detect poisons yes?"

=================================

Days Later, and quite happy to have survived Daggermark

“Lady Riverbane is my most trusted second, and she will take one of my best ships and guide you back to the Azlanti vault. Rid the river of these monstrous spiders and their abominations, find the Hanspur’s Luck, and uncover the whereabouts of my men, and the book is yours. Do it quickly, do it quietly, and do it before the rest of the Pact realize I’ve sent my best men on fools’ errands that may have killed them all."

"Your Lordship, Milady; Visbaron Zzorn Eilif, at your service. I believe I speak for everyone here when I say that we are honored that you have contacted the Pathfinder Society to assist you in this most delicate of endeavors. We will do our utmost to retrieve your men. Know that while our employer will no doubt appreciate your gesture of gratitude in regards to the rare Memoirs you have pledged to donate, the support we are providing you with this task comes willingly and free of charge, normal rules of legal salvage notwithstanding, of course. As you said, the balance of power in the area must be maintained and the flow of trade and people must continue unabated.

I am sure that Lady Riverbane here has detailed information and descriptions of all of those who have gone missing in action yes? Oh, and do you have additional information on the monsters who may have defeated them? what kind of spider or creatures are we dealing with? are there means to prepare against poison in your lovely town? purveyors of antitoxins and commonly known serums and the like?

Finally, Your Lordship, some of my contacts in Oppara wish for me to harvest a rare poison that can only be found in the venom sacs of one of your local variety of spiders... yes, the large ones that are commonly referred to as 'giant spiders', although I'm aware of the misnomer... Do you know some locals who could teach me how to do it properly and who could sell me the proper tools to do it? with your permission, of course..."

low tier was 5-6 and high tier was 7-8? ok thanks! seems to align with the last scenario you ran for me (Cairn of Shadows, 5-6, with similar gold)

@GM Erich: thanks for running the game! PS: Zzorn is level 6 and should get OOT gold like Pai i.e. 4,015gp. Thanks!

Zzorn looks at Amiri as she emerges and says "You owe me a drink, at least."
