Zahnder and Kormandil go one way while the rest of the party head to another table. Zahnder and Kormandil strike out but the rest find two oils of mending and two wolf fangs.

Suddenly Biglock lets out a yell.

Biglock shouts, "It's too late! She's here! This is bad!" The shard, hovering near the amassed treasures, twists and warps, taking on the familiar form of Aslynn and her cauldron. "Your plan to kill me? So brave, so bold. And yet, it matters not. Behold!" She plunges an oozing claw into the pile and brandishes a jeweled chalice. "Boundless wonder called to me. And I respond with nightmares three! Three children of my last thirteen shall join me in an endless dream. A realm where you shall vex me not—a realm where you shall be forgot! Destroy me here, but at what cost? You fight in vain, for all is lost!" Cackling with glee, Aslynn watches as the chalice brims with swirling magical liquid. She inhales deeply, then empties the chalice into her cauldron. A fuming creature boils forth, and Aslynn commands, "Kill the Pathfinders! And should they survive, let this be the first of their boundless nightmares!"

The smelly, twisted creatures emerging from her cauldron vaguely resembles large skunks.

Well, 2 skunks are on that island and can go either way. Red is the only one closest to you and Kormandil

[GM Tiger]

Glenda and Fishy reduce Yellow to a smear on the Vault floor. Both Glenda and Fishy are even considerate enough to clean up the mess with water.

Zagbder draws his blade and then runs up to slash the stinky skunk
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 aldori dualing sword
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 slashing

[GM Tiger]

Zahnder can only watch in disbelief as Kormandil moves off in the opposite direction as he pulls his sword, charges the skunk and slashes at it, opening a slash that reveals the white of bone.

The skunk staggers back, turns, lifts its tail and squirts Zahnder with an evil smelling musk.

The white skunk rushes at Dibble and tries to bite him.

Jaws vs Dibble AC 18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 2

The white skunk manages to draw blood on Dibble's foot.

"Gorrum, crush this odd little thing!" He conjures a mystical force that flings a nearby battered old Dwarven helmet at the blue skunk.

[GM Tiger]

Kosh inspires his companions but his attempt to make it memorable is marred by a sour note.

Kosh draws a bead on Aslynn but his bolt misses. Erzuuk hurls Stitch's old
helmet at the Blue skunk but the hat also misses.

Aslynn glares at Kosh, imparting a sense of fear in him.

[Dibble Shortcoat]

"Ah! Skunk..." Dibble draws his spear and attempts to impale a skunk as he jumps up and down of tip toes "Don't spray me... Don't spray me... Don't spray-" And runs off towards the less threatening hag.

◆ Draw spear
◆ Strike, Spear, Inspired: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15 DMG. Deific Weapon, Inspired: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

He will slash at red

and again
1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 5 = 19
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 slashing

and will then run away

[GM Tiger]

Glenda, you're about 25' up. You can certainly head to the area adjacent to where Kosh is standing to bounce Fishy off Aslynn's head but stepping off is a 25' drop!

Zahnder manages to clamp his mouth shut and not get any of the disgusting musk in his mouth but his eyes still water from the awful smell. He slashes Red with his sword twice, cutting it in half before retreating.

Dibble pulls his spear and kills the White skunk with his first thrust before retreating.

I just realized I forgot to put Blue on the combat tracker.

Kosh, you're slowed 1 only for this round

[Erzuuk of Garaguum]

Erzuuk feels his courage growing, he ◆ draws out his ridiculously large orcish axe and ◆ charges the tiny blue skunk "For GORRUUMM!" Bad things happen to that tiny creature as bits fly towards brave Dibble.

Erzuuk pulls out his axe and showers Dibble with multiple bits of skunk.

FYI - AC 15, 7hp for the skunks...

Botting Kormandil

Kormandil gets as close as he dares to Aslynn without engaging her
Lack of detail in his character sheet also doesn't help much

Aslynn turns and focuses her gaze on Glenda before moving away from Kormandil.

Dibble nods at Erzuuk and scampers after him "Save some fun for us, Fishy!!!"

Zahnder moves closer to the fight. Kormandil waits for his moment (He doesn't have much of a botting spoiler so I'll just put him on delay).

Glenda, Kosh, Kormandil, Zahnder: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Aslynn sees four Pathfinders close by. She smiles to herself and selects one. She makes an imperious gesture and three motes of light spring from her fingers and slam into Kormandil.

Glenda hurls Fishy at Aslynn. Fishy slams into Aslynn's head. Aslynn's scream of rage echoes throughout the Vault as she dissolves into Shadowstuff.

COMBAT OVER

The door suddenly bursts open and Zarta Dralneen rushes into the vault along with Society leaders Ambrus Valsin, Eando Kline, Eliza Petulengro, Fola Barun, and Calisro Benarry. They look ready to fight, and they're quite impressed by your handling of the situation.

"What the heck happened here?!" she demands.

Go ahead and tell your story while I get your chronicles ready. Please verify that your RPG Chronicles info has already been filled out (unless, of course, you really don't want a chronicle) :)

[Erzuuk of Garaguum]

Erzuuk hustles closer to Dibble and calls upon the power of Gorrum into the goblin's weapon "Make it mighty. Make it magical. Make it DEADLY!" And with that Dibble's weapon glows purple and looks fancy.

Stride, Runic Weapon

"NOOOO!" He curses as the woman falls too soon.

[Dibble Shortcoat]

"But, FiiiSHY!" Dibble cries out in a voice usually reserved for teenagers towards their uncool and unfair parents. He looks down at his glowing shield with a pout, thinking of the missed opportunities for impressive heroics. "Thanks, though." The disappointed knight says to Erzuuk, before trudging off towards the door to explain what happened.

[Kosh Bracken]

Kosh smirks at the Venture Captains. ”Roight on time!”

He makes his way down the stairs. ”Had some hag trouble. Found some nice stuff, tho”

[Erzuuk of Garaguum]

Erzuuk pats Dibble on the head "Let's go find a book shelf that's looking a bit haggish, maybe test it out just in case." He grins, pointing at the nearest shabby looking shelf.

"Just one last vermin to smash over here and we're set."
Deception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

[Glenda Tickleberry]

"Too bad it wasn't the real Aslynn. There'll be a showdown in the future! Now... fruit?" Glenda says.

She uses Fresh Produce to produce apples and mangoes for everyone.

[GM Tiger]

They gather reports from you, Rain and Biglock, then meet back in the vault a few hours later.

Zarta turns the chalice over multiple times, trying to see if she can get any of the magic liquid to appear. When everyone has finally gathered for the debrief, she says, "Well, I'm still not sure what this is, but all your reports are consistent. It's obviously a central piece of Aslynn's plan. In a way, it's a good thing that shard of her mind infiltrated our vaults, as it's allowed us to understand a few things we might have otherwise missed! I wish we could've learned about this without putting your lives in danger, and for that, I apologize. I hope you're ready for more adventures. We've just scratched the surface of the vault's contents, and we need to act fast to learn more about some of these items. One thing is certain: we can't leave everything here and wait around for Aslynn to strike again."

The faction leaders quickly fall into a heated discussion over the best approach to the items—it's clear that they don't see eye to eye, but they all agree that they'll need to work together for the sake of the Society's future! While the Society's leaders argue, Biglock gives you a smug grin. "Nice work. Hey—Zarta is pretty great. She says Mr. Glovely and I don't have to stick around this dusty vault! Don't worry, though. We'll be in touch. I've got a few schemes in mind. When I'm done making arrangements, Mr. Glovely will come calling!"

Thanks for playing all!
