Dax Thura Posted April 6 Author Clone Share Posted April 6 The reputable merchant and ally of the Society Aya Allahe paces one of the back rooms of Sharrowsmith’s Exports, a walled trade compound on the northern edge of Nantambu in the Mwangi Expanse. “I wish I had more to offer,” Allahe apologizes before even presenting what information she has. “Nieford Sharrowsmith never truly retired from being a Pathfinder, even after he started this business. I think, in his mind, he was still the young adventurer that hiked through jungles and fought off troglodyte tribes. Sharrowsmith’s attitude changed over the last few months—I think he was concerned for his legacy and how history would remember him. Would it be for his discoveries or for the export business that dominated his later years? The answer, I fear, was unpalatable." “It was no surprise when he packed up and left on an expedition. But that was months ago, and neither the Society nor I have heard from him since. Sharrowsmith has never left for this long without leaving some word as to his status or sending rather demanding missives about business decisions while he was waist-deep in some jungle bog. When my own contacts failed to turn up any useful information, I had no recourse but to go through his private notes.” Allahe motions to the mess of documents scattered about the office. “What caught my eye was this translated rubbing. It appears to be the most recent piece of a very large puzzle Sharrowsmith was researching and indicated that he may be somewhere in the Bandu Hills. Traders from Fort Bandu have confirmed that he paid the garrison a visit, but that’s where my trail ran cold. Something happened out there, and Praetor Sylien—Fort Bandu’s commander—refuses to correspond with me on the matter despite knowing how close Nieford and I are. All I received in response was that Nieford had ‘done enough damage for one lifetime,’ and that if I wanted to discuss the matter further I would need to go to Fort Bandu in person.” Exasperatedly, Allahe runs a hand across her forehead and turns her distant stare out the window. “I cannot shutter the business and travel hundreds of miles on the off chance that the praetor can help; the company would fall apart. I’m hoping that you will be able to go in my stead, speak with the praetor personally to learn what has befallen Sharrowsmith and help him return."

He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures. At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2. If the ranger chooses humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, he must also choose an associated subtype, as indicated on the table below. (Note that there are other types of humanoid to choose from—those called out specifically on the table below are merely the most common.) If a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger’s bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher. 1st: Monstrous Humanoids (+2) | Freedom FighterFACTION Your family has long waged war against tyranny, and you learned a great deal about guerilla warfare in your youth. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Stealth checks and a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls during surprise rounds. | Orc BloodRACIAL TRAIT Half-orcs count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race. | Orc FerocityRACIAL TRAIT Once per day, when a half-orc is brought below 0 hit points but not killed, he can fight on for 1 more round as if disabled. At the end of his next turn, unless brought to above 0 hit points, he immediately falls unconscious and begins dying. | Point-Blank ShotFEAT You are especially accurate when making ranged attacks against close targets. Benefit: You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet. | TrackCLASS (RANGER) FEATURE A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks. Bonus Types The important aspect of bonus types is that two bonuses of the same type don’t generally stack. With the exception of dodge bonuses, most circumstance bonuses, and racial bonuses, only the better bonus of a given type works. Bonuses without a type always stack, unless they are from the same source. Alchemical:An alchemical bonus is granted by the use of a non-magical, alchemical substance such as antitoxin. --- | Armor:An armor bonus applies to armor class and is granted by armor or by a spell or magical effect that mimics armor. Armor bonuses stack with all other bonuses to armor class (even with natural armor bonuses) except other armor bonuses. An armor bonus doesn’t apply against touch attacks, except for armor bonuses granted by force effects (such as the mage armor spell) which apply against incorporeal touch attacks, such as that of a shadow. +2Leather Armor | BAB:This number is a modifier added to your attack rolls. A higher number means you’re better at combat. +1 | Circumstance:A circumstance bonus (or penalty) arises from specific conditional factors impacting the success of the task at hand. Circumstance bonuses stack with all other bonuses, including other circumstance bonuses, unless they arise from essentially the same source. --- | Competence:A competence bonus (or penalty) affects a character’s performance of a particular task, as in the case of the bardic ability to inspire competence. Multiple competence bonuses don’t stack; only the highest bonus applies. --- Deflection:A deflection bonus affects armor class and is granted by a spell or magic effect that makes attacks veer off harmlessly. Deflection bonuses stack with all other bonuses to AC except other deflection bonuses. A deflection bonus applies against touch attacks. --- | Dodge:A dodge bonus improves armor class (and sometimes Reflex saves) resulting from physical skill at avoiding blows and other ill effects. Dodge bonuses are never 1 usually not granted by spells or magic items. Any situation or effect (except wearing armor) that negates a character’s Dexterity bonus also negates any dodge bonuses the character may have. Dodge bonuses stack with all other bonuses to AC, even other dodge bonuses. Dodge bonuses apply against touch attacks. --- | Enhancement:An enhancement bonus represents an increase in the sturdiness and/or effectiveness of armor or natural armor, or the effectiveness of a weapon, or a general bonus to an ability score. Multiple enhancement bonuses on the same object (in the case of armor and weapons), creature (in the case of natural armor), or ability score do not stack. Only the highest enhancement bonus applies. Since enhancement bonuses to armor or natural armor effectively increase the armor or natural armor’s bonus to AC, they don’t apply against touch attacks. --- | Inherent:Content... --- | Insight:An insight bonus improves performance of a given activity by granting the character an almost precognitive knowledge of what might occur. Multiple insight bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest insight bonus applies. --- Luck:A luck bonus represents good (or bad) fortune. Multiple luck bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest luck bonus applies. --- | Morale:A morale bonus represents the effects of greater hope, courage, and determination (or hopelessness, cowardice, and despair in the case of a morale penalty). Multiple morale bonuses on the same character do not stack. Only the highest morale bonus applies. Non-intelligent creatures (creatures with an Intelligence of 0 or no Intelligence at all) cannot benefit from morale bonuses. --- | Natural Armor:A natural armor bonus improves armor class resulting from a creature’s naturally tough hide. Natural armor bonuses stack with all other bonuses to armor class (even with armor bonuses) except other natural armor bonuses. Some magical effects (such as the barkskin spell) grant an enhancement bonus to the creature’s existing natural armor bonus, which has the effect of increasing the natural armor’s overall bonus to armor class. A natural armor bonus doesn’t apply against touch attacks. --- | Profane:A profane bonus (or penalty) stems from the power of evil. Multiple profane bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest profane bonus applies. --- | Racial:A racial bonus comes from the culture a particular creature was brought up in or because of innate characteristics of that type of creature. If a creature’s race changes (for instance, if it dies and is reincarnated), it loses all racial bonuses it had in its previous form. VariousSee Situational Modifiers Resistance:A resistance bonus affects saving throws, providing extra protection against harm. Multiple resistance bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest resistance bonus applies. --- | Sacred:A sacred bonus (or penalty) stems from the power of good. Multiple sacred bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest sacred bonus applies. --- | Shield:A shield bonus improves armor class and is granted by a shield or by a spell or magic effect that mimics a shield. Shield bonuses stack with all other bonuses to AC except other shield bonuses. A magic shield typically grants an enhancement bonus to the shield’s shield bonus, which has the effect of increasing the shield’s overall bonus to AC. A shield bonus granted by a spell or magic item typically takes the form of an invisible, tangible field of force that protects the recipient. A shield bonus doesn’t apply against touch attacks. --- | Size:A size bonus or penalty is derived from a creature’s size category. Size modifiers of different kinds apply to armor class, attack rolls, Stealth checks, combat maneuver checks, and various other checks. --- | Trait:A trait bonus is a bonus granted via a character trait. Character traits are an optional additional character defining feature like feats but less powerful (typically about half as strong as a feat.) As with other named bonuses, trait bonuses do not “stack” with other trait bonuses. VariousSee Situational Modifiers Condition(s): None Post Anyone looking might have caught a hint of a smile upon the face of the quiet, large man that stood well over six feet tall. This was his very first mission for the society and it had already brought him to the majestic jungles of the Mwangi expanse. Even with the hood of his light brown cloak pulled down as far as it would go, those around could see his thick, auburn colored hair as it hung down over his face, hiding his slightly sloping head, jutting jaw and prominent teeth that identify him as having orc blood running through his veins. He wore leather armor on top of a light green shirt and light tan-colored pants. Completing his ensemble was a sheathed scimitar and backpack strapped across his back and a longbow which he carried. Upon his left thigh is a quiver full of arrows. "What can you tell us of this Bandu Hills region? What dangers might we encounter from here to there?" Khan asked Aya quietly. OOC & Mechanics .... Features | Prepared Spells Wild Empathy:A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (see Using Skills). The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.

Rakle Posted April 6 Clone Share Posted April 6 Too excited to sit, the bronzed skin keleshite woman stood against a side wall and listened to the briefing. She wears a long skirt, and a leather jerkin can be seen under her sand colored cloak. A sheathed scimitar hangs from her belt. Vesal runs a hand through her brown hair. Having been up north, she had let it grow out, but she had it cut short again when she learned about the Mwangi assignment. Excited at the prospect of traveling in the Mwangi, Vesal quickly asks.

She is also wearing the the purple book and flame of the Dark Archive faction, the faction charged with recovering dark artifacts and pursuing the Society's dark enemies. This faction is led by the enigmatic, some would say suspect, Zarta Dralneen, formerly a Cheliaxian noble loyal to the Cheliax queen. On her back is a light crossbow and a quiver of bolts, on her hip a sheathed dagger. She is for the moment feeding live caterpillars to an irridescent thrush.

Dax Thura Posted April 8 Author Clone Share Posted April 8 (edited) “I can tell you that it’s a dangerous place. This is true of much of the Expanse, but the Bandu Hills have a dozen ways to kill before accounting for living creatures: heat, dehydration, landslides, poisonous plants, carnivorous plants, and so on. Unfortunately, the place is sick with riches like diamonds, gold, and silver—an embarrassment of wealth that only attracts more dangerous occupants. I am surprised that Sharrowsmith didn’t settle down there, to be honest.” “I don't know much about his research. Sharrowsmith’s notes say the rubbing was made by miners in the Bandu Hills over sixty years ago, and the rubbing found its way to him through auctions he frequented. Whatever he read there, it lit a fire under him.” Knowledge (local) or Profession (merchant or miner); Exchange may attempt Untrained, Exchange receive a +2 to roll. 10+ The Bandu Hills remain rich in gold, silver, and gems, despite several centuries of colonial mining. Prospectors arrive from throughout the Inner Sea region to seek their fortune. The local Mwangi tribes often retaliate violently. 15+ Most of the larger mining operations belong to the Deeptreasure Mining Company, which has dominated the local industry for nearly three centuries. Their onetime competitors, the Gold Crown Company, are now better known for shipping and export services. 20+ Deeptreasure agents are always on the lookout for independent miners, whom they bully away from promising claims. A Deeptreasure representative in Fort Bandu is offering a bounty for information regarding any promising unoccupied (or ill-defended) mines. Any more questions?

There was a lot of give in Aya's "help him return". Mind you if he were dead, he wouldn't have any say in the matter. If he'd gone rogue, then he wouldn't have any say in the matter. Still, it would be nice to get a definitive answer. The irridescent Thrush pauses in wolfing down caterpillar to speak with Khan.. "Ma moniker is Imp. Me benefactress, is that even a word? who is much given tae silent reflection.. .. is Tanith Camarilla. Anyway, we're both of us pleased to make yer acquaintance." Tanith emerges from her reverie with a polite nod in Khan's direction, followed by one in Vesal's direction.. "The Deeptreasure Mining Company is the big player in the Bandu Hills."

Mindcrime Posted April 9 Clone Share Posted April 9 Khan Khan Male, Half-orc Class: Ranger | Level: 1 Str: 14 | Dex: 16 | Con: 14 | Int: 12 | Wis: 13 | Cha: 10 HP: 12/12 | Speed: 30 | Init: +3 AC: 15 | Touch: 13 | Flat-footed: 12 CMD: 16 | FCMD: 13 Fort: 4 | Ref: 5 | Will: 1 Weapons Longbow: +4Dexterity Modifier: +3 Base Attack Bonus: +1 (1d8, x3) [100 ft range] Scimitar (cold-iron): +3Strength Modifier: +2 Base Attack Bonus: +1 (1d6+2, 18-20/x2) Dagger: +3Strength Modifier: +2 Base Attack Bonus: +1 (melee)/+4Dexterity Modifier: +3 Base Attack Bonus: +1 (missile) (1d4+2, 19-20/x2) [10 ft range] Situational Modifiers Favored EnemyCLASS (RANGER) FEATURE At 1st level, a ranger selects a creature type from the ranger favored enemies table. He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures. At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2. If the ranger chooses humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, he must also choose an associated subtype, as indicated on the table below. (Note that there are other types of humanoid to choose from—those called out specifically on the table below are merely the most common.) If a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger’s bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher. 1st: Monstrous Humanoids (+2) | Freedom FighterFACTION Your family has long waged war against tyranny, and you learned a great deal about guerilla warfare in your youth. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Stealth checks and a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls during surprise rounds. | Orc BloodRACIAL TRAIT Half-orcs count as both humans and orcs for any effect related to race. | Orc FerocityRACIAL TRAIT Once per day, when a half-orc is brought below 0 hit points but not killed, he can fight on for 1 more round as if disabled. At the end of his next turn, unless brought to above 0 hit points, he immediately falls unconscious and begins dying. | Point-Blank ShotFEAT You are especially accurate when making ranged attacks against close targets. Benefit: You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet. | TrackCLASS (RANGER) FEATURE A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks. Bonus Types The important aspect of bonus types is that two bonuses of the same type don’t generally stack. With the exception of dodge bonuses, most circumstance bonuses, and racial bonuses, only the better bonus of a given type works. Bonuses without a type always stack, unless they are from the same source. Alchemical:An alchemical bonus is granted by the use of a non-magical, alchemical substance such as antitoxin. --- | Armor:An armor bonus applies to armor class and is granted by armor or by a spell or magical effect that mimics armor. Armor bonuses stack with all other bonuses to armor class (even with natural armor bonuses) except other armor bonuses. An armor bonus doesn’t apply against touch attacks, except for armor bonuses granted by force effects (such as the mage armor spell) which apply against incorporeal touch attacks, such as that of a shadow. +2Leather Armor | BAB:This number is a modifier added to your attack rolls. A higher number means you’re better at combat. +1 | Circumstance:A circumstance bonus (or penalty) arises from specific conditional factors impacting the success of the task at hand. Circumstance bonuses stack with all other bonuses, including other circumstance bonuses, unless they arise from essentially the same source. --- | Competence:A competence bonus (or penalty) affects a character’s performance of a particular task, as in the case of the bardic ability to inspire competence. Multiple competence bonuses don’t stack; only the highest bonus applies. --- Deflection:A deflection bonus affects armor class and is granted by a spell or magic effect that makes attacks veer off harmlessly. Deflection bonuses stack with all other bonuses to AC except other deflection bonuses. A deflection bonus applies against touch attacks. --- | Dodge:A dodge bonus improves armor class (and sometimes Reflex saves) resulting from physical skill at avoiding blows and other ill effects. Dodge bonuses are never 1 usually not granted by spells or magic items. Any situation or effect (except wearing armor) that negates a character’s Dexterity bonus also negates any dodge bonuses the character may have. Dodge bonuses stack with all other bonuses to AC, even other dodge bonuses. Dodge bonuses apply against touch attacks. --- | Enhancement:An enhancement bonus represents an increase in the sturdiness and/or effectiveness of armor or natural armor, or the effectiveness of a weapon, or a general bonus to an ability score. Multiple enhancement bonuses on the same object (in the case of armor and weapons), creature (in the case of natural armor), or ability score do not stack. Only the highest enhancement bonus applies. Since enhancement bonuses to armor or natural armor effectively increase the armor or natural armor’s bonus to AC, they don’t apply against touch attacks. --- | Inherent:Content... --- | Insight:An insight bonus improves performance of a given activity by granting the character an almost precognitive knowledge of what might occur. Multiple insight bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest insight bonus applies. --- Luck:A luck bonus represents good (or bad) fortune. Multiple luck bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest luck bonus applies. --- | Morale:A morale bonus represents the effects of greater hope, courage, and determination (or hopelessness, cowardice, and despair in the case of a morale penalty). Multiple morale bonuses on the same character do not stack. Only the highest morale bonus applies. Non-intelligent creatures (creatures with an Intelligence of 0 or no Intelligence at all) cannot benefit from morale bonuses. --- | Natural Armor:A natural armor bonus improves armor class resulting from a creature’s naturally tough hide. Natural armor bonuses stack with all other bonuses to armor class (even with armor bonuses) except other natural armor bonuses. Some magical effects (such as the barkskin spell) grant an enhancement bonus to the creature’s existing natural armor bonus, which has the effect of increasing the natural armor’s overall bonus to armor class. A natural armor bonus doesn’t apply against touch attacks. --- | Profane:A profane bonus (or penalty) stems from the power of evil. Multiple profane bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest profane bonus applies. --- | Racial:A racial bonus comes from the culture a particular creature was brought up in or because of innate characteristics of that type of creature. If a creature’s race changes (for instance, if it dies and is reincarnated), it loses all racial bonuses it had in its previous form. VariousSee Situational Modifiers Resistance:A resistance bonus affects saving throws, providing extra protection against harm. Multiple resistance bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest resistance bonus applies. --- | Sacred:A sacred bonus (or penalty) stems from the power of good. Multiple sacred bonuses on the same character or object do not stack. Only the highest sacred bonus applies. --- | Shield:A shield bonus improves armor class and is granted by a shield or by a spell or magic effect that mimics a shield. Shield bonuses stack with all other bonuses to AC except other shield bonuses. A magic shield typically grants an enhancement bonus to the shield’s shield bonus, which has the effect of increasing the shield’s overall bonus to AC. A shield bonus granted by a spell or magic item typically takes the form of an invisible, tangible field of force that protects the recipient. A shield bonus doesn’t apply against touch attacks. --- | Size:A size bonus or penalty is derived from a creature’s size category. Size modifiers of different kinds apply to armor class, attack rolls, Stealth checks, combat maneuver checks, and various other checks. --- | Trait:A trait bonus is a bonus granted via a character trait. Character traits are an optional additional character defining feature like feats but less powerful (typically about half as strong as a feat.) As with other named bonuses, trait bonuses do not “stack” with other trait bonuses. VariousSee Situational Modifiers Condition(s): None Post Khan could only shrug his shoulders when the bird asked if 'benefactress' was a word. "It is nice to meet you Imp and your benefactress Tanith Camarilla" he remarked quietly as he brought his free hand up and placed it upon his chest. "My name is Khan. I am a ranger from Brevoy to the far north." he said as he switched his gaze from Imp, to Tanith, then to Vesal. OOC & Mechanics .... Features | Prepared Spells Wild Empathy:A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (see Using Skills). The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.

Dax Thura Posted April 10 Author Clone Share Posted April 10 (edited) You have some time to purchase supplies before leaving for your journey south. The route involves traveling by boat down the Vanji River, then switching to canoes to paddle up the Little Vanji and Dzimmi Rivers. Finally, the PCs wind through several of the lower Bandu Hills through a pass to Fort Bandu. The fort is a small frontier settlement surrounded by high stone walls located on the northern edge of Sargava. Within the fort’s walls, dozens of mining companies maintain outposts out of pavilion tents, hiring laborers and purchasing necessary supplies brought in by merchants from the north, south, and west. The fort holds a garrison of soldiers that struggle to maintain a balance of defense of the frontier and protection for the miners and traders within its walls. Do any of you openly wear Pathfinder insignia? What do you do?

"Brevoy, really? Well that's certainly not for the faint hearted.", purrs Tanith, the ghost of a smile flitting across pale face, within her hood, the light from the window making her squint somewhat even so. "I hail from Cheliax.. would that I was as far from home as you are." , she continues, still in that plummy posh Cheliax accent. Tanith returns to her rooms and prior to chilling with a bottle of wine, casts two spells, both ears of the city. 'Forewarned is forearmed' being something of a watchword for her. She then conceals her society insignia, which she's had on display at the meeting, figuring that if the one they were looking for had caused trouble, folk wearing the same badges might be in for a cool welcome. Her first question is.. tell me about Nieford Sharrowsmith. Her second question is.. tell me what Nieford got up to in the Bandu Hills. OOC: And the dice continue to beat the shit out of good ideas. OOC: Didn't realize we were handwaving to the Fort. If we are... Question: What news of Nieford Sharrowsmith hereabouts..
