Good to have some free/pay-what-u-want Carrion Crown and Reign of Winter PF2e+ conversions out there for Drivethrurpg/Pathfinder Infinite, aett. ;)

Cannot tell if that's sarcasm or an AI response, what with the filename being a significant part of it...

Chigao Epilogue:

Hopefully, with the distraction made by Sergeant Harkness' Ghostly Spirit, the entire party was able to retrieve Randall's body and ferry out both groups of prisoners, alerted in time due to Nathan's warnings, safely from the Keep. :)

Eventually, Chigao would resume her training with Master Fisnaeth to complete her Kunoichi schooling if all went well in the near future. ;)

As an aside, Chigao had been intent on retrieving Randall's body so that the party doesn't get into trouble with his immediate Superiors in the militia. ;p

Yes, and I really am sorry for the delay. Just moved Psimon next to Nathan, and I am not sure if they need to move more yet. lmk, I have today off to do whatever updates are needed.

Nathan should have enough movement and time to alert both prisoner groups of the recent events.

Zupon has a heart attack of great fear!

As luck would have it, Xephkiel has his Remove Fear SLAs handy for such an occasion.

Thank you, DM rel20, for running this adventure for the past couple of years and giving us players the opportunity to try out the various PF1e 3rd party classes out there. Thank you also to all my fellow 3rd-party PF1e players in this game, past and present, for helping to give some liveliness to this crazy adventure as we interacted with all the occurring events and each other, as well. :)

Had been slowing down my posting frequency due to RL [dealing with eldercare stuff with my family] and all. :(

In terms of the third party Kunoichi-Ninja class that Chigao utilzed, it didn't seem too out of place in comparison to Paizo's own Ninja Alternate Class; probably had a lot of side-grade class options that was made possible by the nature of the source material. Also got discover the existence of Genshin Impact due to some last minute fleshing out on in-character visual appearance as a minor bit of peripheral stuff. ;)

Luc, our hexad-hermit guy, does seem to be quite well-supplied with crated food and drink out in the swampland boonies. :)

Somebody has to go and send him all that stuff since it doesn't seem like he has a boat of his own. ;)

Defending everyone's retreat, Xephkiel took a 5-ft. step backward and attacks the nearest goblin still advancing. Unsure which one it is at this point, it is a battle of Chaos.)

Chaotic battles are wild, indeed. :p I suspect that Xef attacked the purple goblin as well since it was the closest to the remaining living party members. Hopefully, the possessed ogre attack will put the other goblins on the backfoot enough to want to strike back at it. ;)

Absolutely Nate will tell everyone it's time to run

Not sure if we've ever solidified where both prisoner groups were staying at but I'd imagine that Nathan would be far enough away that he'd be able to reach either or both of them in the interim. :)

I don't know who knows Owen Stephens or his wife LJ. Owen has had a very difficult time lately with some very serious medical issues. Clots and a pulmenary embolism. Now, the guy has colon cancer. He's a really nice guy and a huge ally. He has a Humble Bundle out for 2E stuff for just $10 so he can raise some money to help with these bills that are going to keep coming.

Here be the link that Cindy Robertson mentioned about. There's about four-plus days left for the bundle and has all PF2e compatible adventures offered for that. ;)

Chigao if you still have that small healing that isn't a terrible idea

Unfortunately, Chigao already spent that CLW SLA earlier, unless the meeting with the prisoners in M10 could 'count' as an overnight rest, but I doubt that it would. ;p

If Nathan doesn't mind, I can have his token double move in a withdraw so he'd be out of combat- away from purple and magenta goblins. His movement point of origin will be right below to the south of Chigao; will have him move closer towards M10 or M9. ;)

@Nathan: In terms of fleeing from combat, possibly having Nate use a full withdraw action to avoid getting hit again by purple goblin would place him 12 squares away; a standard action withdraw would have him move 6 squares away with another move action left over to use? Nathan's movement point of origin would be the square to the west of purple.

@Storm Dragon: Visually, I can picture a transparent, greyish likeness of Randall's face [possibly even neck and shoulder?] wavering in and out from the ogre's head; maybe some kind of take 10 on perception checks to notice? The DC might involve the ogre's hit-dice or something to that effect.

I dropped a grey box for the smoke guessing placement.

The smoke cube placement is perfect where it is, DM rel20, thank you. :)

@Nathan: You don't have to use that number, 6, that I rolled up earlier. You're probably better off rolling that early energy attack on your own; alternatively, you could have Nathan going over to let the human and goblin prisoners that it's time to flee. Additionally, it looks like his psicrystal has occupied the attention of the 3rd goblin- between Randall's possession of the big guy and Psimon's visual range, the party could have an idea of what the enemy is likely to do next... especially if Randall could make the large monster give out orders. ;p

Third Round Actions for Chigao:

Not sure how much Randall's body would weigh- though he did wear a 30 lb. breastplate on his person- but Chigao will attempt to grab Randall's body using her Cut Your Losses feat and flee due north. Most likely, Chigao will be under Heavy Encumbrance with 230 lbs the maximum she can lift overhead; therefore, she'll be at +1 Dex bonus maximum, move 20 feet per move action, and have a -6 ACP for her physical skills as long as she's carrying his corpse.

Keeping the alarming revelation from Zupon about the presence of yet another ghostly being nearby in the back of her mind, Chigao had easily memorized the position of where the Sergeant's body was located at, so that when the smoke cover from the discarded smokestick on the ground billowed out in an obscuring 10 foot cube, the Young Kunoichi was able to reach down and grab the Sergeant's corpse and move northwards in an attempt to flee the combat. Withdraw at a double movement rate, even lessened to a mere 20 feet per move, for a full round action. Once Chigao reaches the northward corridor split, she opts to head westward in the opposite direction of where Zupon is at... although she is able to keep the youthful Scholar in visual range from where she's at.

With us securing the Sergeant's body, we can't be accused of causing his demise by his superiors! They'll need to know what has become of him though...

Where the H is my Energy Ray post!?!?!?

Sometimes the message board will 'eat up' posts on occasion; not really much that could be done aside from posting again in a newer post. Presumably Nathan went with an electrical energy ray on the big humanoid since it had metal armor on it's limbs?

If Nate needs a D20 roll handy: 1d20 ⇒ 6.

Hmm... that does not bode well...

For the 2nd round, Chigao will break the healing vial so that most everyone will get healed up from it within 5' of her- what sort of action [ie, standard/move/swift/etc.] would that be considered as?

Zupon's salve: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15. May as well see what everyone alive heals at.

In terms of an exit strategy, Chigao would most likely fish out a smokestick to use as a cover to help the party to escape the combat; possibly even using her Cut your losses feat to take Randall's body with her- would that course of action be okay with everyone?

That sounds pretty rough, DM rel20 and Nathan. :(

Not sure if any of the mentioned herbs and vitamins will be of help, Nathan. Hopefully can't hurt to try.

I heard from a relative whose friends with a retired Chiropractor that these massagers from Wahl are useful to have. The Spot Application attachment- the one that looks like a nipple- can be used on the back muscles in a 1" parallel away from the spine. They can be found pretty much at any reputable drugstore too.

Should we attempt to escort all the prisoners back to town, for the humans, and back to Nathan's Aunt and Uncle's ranch, for the goblins- if they agree to it?

"As can I, with some rations to spare as well. The tower might have further food supplies left over, possibly.", the novice Kunoichi adds after Xef speaks up.

With a glance towards Kerkko- since he seems to be the calmest among all the human prisoners, the aspiring student of Master Fisnaeth answers with, "As to the way from this underground area being cleared out... we've not yet examined all of the rooms down here- and then there is that matter of a large gelatinous cube still being nearby, down over at the sinkhole."

Working to free the other goblin prisoners- now that it seems that they will not attack the party- Chigao thoughtfully suggests to Nathan, "Perhaps these goblins will know of Vars?"

freeing more goblins: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 301d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 311d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 271d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31.

The pdf option might not work but the epub option should still be functional, if that helps, Bellona, Nicholas the ex-Paladin. ;)

Nodding in response to Zupon's request for general calmness, Chigao reiterates for the freed human captives edification, "As our healer has requested, it'll best that everyone should remain at calm while he checks you over for any egregious injuries. There'll be no need for hostilities from anyone for this to happen."

diplomacy assist to Randall?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Nathan moves closer towards the still-chained goblins and attempts to get their side of the story, as it were, by speaking in the goblin tongue to them- attempting to find out why they've been chained up and to have them not take any hostile actions against anyone presently nearby.

diplomacy for goblins: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20.

If it appears that the goblins will be favorably disposed to the party through Nathan's words, Chigao will head towards the nearest goblin prisoner to help with freeing them one at a time. Nathan will further advise them to stay put and not attempt to flee the area.

unlock one goblin to see what happens: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21.

Ended up taking an extended break m'self over the holidays and such, so I personally don't mind the break during the new year. :)

PS. Merry Xmas-past and Happy 2023 to all. ;)

Yep- been decompressing myself since the end of the extended holidays and such- Merry Xmas-past and Happy 2023 to all- so I don't mind the break at all. :)

Will help out to keep the rp'ing going as well. ;)

Good to has some free Brevoy and the North adapted campaign stuff out there for PF1e Kingmaker, Nicholas the ex-Paladin. ;)

Good to have the various free Alchemy Guide stuff and Class Archetype stuff out there respectively for PF2e, ottdmk and Gisher. ;)

I'll leave it to the reader to decide if Manfri was exploiting an outsider's use of the phrase to draw Leandrie into the scene, for a sheap laugh.

Sheap laughter is (the) best kind of laughter. ;p

Please place your token into the white area on the last slide. If Leandrie is there, please add a token.

Will do. :)

Also, according to the info on sheep, they use the stats for goats... in the event of any combat happening. ;)

Took the liberty of removing the Orange Goblin from the map. ;)

@DM rel20: Good to know on the difficulty using the diplomacy route. :)

@Nathan "Cable" Grey: Can't complain about how the previous holidays went- still have to see if it'll hold true with the upcoming ones down the line. ;)

Good to has both links, DM_aka_Dudemeister, for both the Varnhold Vanishing additions/changes pdf that you did- which got later 'pdfed' by plober- and the Rook of Talon Peak short adventure out there... both of them available for PF1e. :)

PS. the Rook of Talon Peak did have an issue of needing to sign in to download but the printing option worked just fine. ;)

I assume this is in goblin? It's probably a good idea to list out the language used if it's not common for future posts.

So for something like speaking in a language besides common, would something like this work?

[Aklo] "Don't mind us, we're just passing on through."

I've seen other pbp games that utilize copy-pasted Google translate foreign language text followed by spoilers with just the regular standard English typography. Of course, trying to decide on which actual language to substitute for the made-up ones... that could pose a challenge if there isn't any agreement on which language to use. ;)

PS. Happy Thanksgiving to all. :)

Poison Resin via AoN goes to here. Apparently it's from a PF1e Companion, Potions & Poisons. ;)

PS. as an added bonus, some 3.5 Kaorti stuff. ;)

If some GM wanna house-rule that all the heart-piercing magics stuff should only be used with projectile-ammo using ranged weaponry only, they could; but clearly, anime's influence into pop and gaming culture does say otherwise- courtesy of the Type-Moon Fate franchise by way of Irish Mythology. ;)

Heh, it'd be funny if Nathan was to tell the goblins, in their native language from where he's standing outside the doorway right after the Astral Deva storms inside there, that they'd better do what Xef sez if they know what's good for 'em. ;p

Waiting behind with Zupon while the youthful Scholar is busy concocting more alchemical wonders, Chigao- at some point after Randall went off to find Xephkiel, Nathan, and his psicrystal- went and bought/dragged out the bugbear treasure chest [if it is remotely movable, that is] over to Zupon so that he could use it as a makeshift table-surface for his workings of alchemy. ;)

Chigao is about 55 squares away from where Xef is shouting at the goblins... around 275 feet away or thereabouts; so the DC for her perception to hear all that is at around +27 or 28 to hear anything amiss?

Perception to hear Xef's shouting?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17.

If by some chance she hears anything, she'll alert Zupon that something is up; she may even go over to check on things after she determines if it'll be safe enough to leave Zupon behind. ;)
