"It is a good pick I suppose but I'm more interested in the runes." Zyrel studies the pick for a moment, then shrugs. "Obviously magical weapon runes of some sort which implies a foundation rune and something else, but the work is odd, not any tradition I've studied. Might be fey work, but I've no idea what it does."

 

As the party moves on, Zyrel takes the lead, slipping into the shadows in the hope of surprising anything lurking ahead.

You are treated as being in both spaces until the start of your next turn. Your mirror self mimics your actions exactly, but any effects you generate come from only one of your positions; you decide which each time you act. Anything that targets or would affect your reflection affects you and uses your statistics. Something that would target or affect both of you affects you only once. When you move, you choose which square to move from, but the mirror effect ends (see below). Some events force you to determine which image is the real you, and then end the effect and cause your mirror self to disappear; this happens automatically at the start of your next turn. It also happens if you choose to move out of your space. Other benefits of this implement add more events that can end the reflection. The effect also ends when you fall unconscious, at which point you decide which version is truly you. -Exploit VulnerabilitySelect a creature you can see and attempt an Esoteric Lore check against a standard DC for its level, as you retrieve the right object from your esoterica and use your implement to empower it. You gain the following effects until you Exploit Vulnerabilities again. Critical Success You remember the creature’s weaknesses, and as you empower your esoterica, you have a flash of insight that grants even more knowledge about the creature. You learn all of the creature’s resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem’s antimagic. You can exploit either the creature’s mortal weakness or personal antithesis (see below). Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Success You recall an important fact about the creature, learning its highest weakness (or one of its highest weaknesses, if it has multiple with the same value) but not its other weaknesses, resistances, or immunities. You can exploit either the creature’s mortal weakness or personal antithesis. Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Failure Failing to recall a salient weakness about the creature, you instead attempt to exploit a more personal vulnerability. You can exploit only the creature’s personal antithesis. Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Critical Failure You couldn’t remember the right object to use and become distracted while you rummage through your esoterica. You become flat-footed until the beginning of your next turn. Mortal Weakness: Your unarmed and weapon Strikes activate the highest weakness you discovered with Exploit Vulnerability, even though the damage type your weapon deals doesn’t change. This damage affects the target of your Exploit Vulnerability, as well as any other creatures of the exact same type, but not other creatures with the same weakness. Personal Antithesis: -Only the target creature gains a weakness against your unarmed and weapon Strikes equal to 2 + half your level. -Implement's EmpowermentWhen you Strike, you can trace mystic patterns with an implement you’re holding to empower the Strike, causing it to deal 2 additional damage per weapon damage die. -Dubious KnowledgeWhen you fail (but don’t critically fail) a Recall Knowledge check using any skill, you learn a bit of true knowledge and a bit of erroneous knowledge, but you don’t have any way to differentiate which is which. -Diverse Lore-You can take a -2 penalty to your check to Recall Knowledge with Esoteric Lore to Recall Knowledge about any topic -When you succeed at your check to Exploit a Vulnerability, compare the result of your Esoteric Lore check to the DC to Recall Knowledge for that creature; if that number would be a success or a critical success, you gain information as if you had succeeded at the Recall Knowledge check. -Intimidating GlareYou can Demoralize with a mere glare. When you do, Demoralize loses the auditory trait and gains the visual trait, and you don’t take a penalty if the creature doesn’t understand your language. -Scroll ThaumYou can activate scrolls of any magical tradition, using your thaumaturge class DC for the scroll’s DC, rather than a particular spell DC. If a spell is on the spell list for multiple traditions, you choose which tradition to use at the time you activate the scroll. You can draw and activate scrolls with the same hand holding an implement, much like you can for esoterica. -Steeped in HistoryYou gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Recall Knowledge about the Magaambya, the tenets or history of your branch, and members of your branch. At 11th level, this increases to a +2 circumstance bonus. -Talisman EsotericaEach day during your daily preparations, you can make two talismans with an item level no higher than half your level. You know the formulas for all common talismans in the Core Rulebook of your level or lower. You remember your talisman formulas through oral tradition or mnemonics, so you don’t need a formula book for them. -ToughnessIncrease your maximum Hit Points by your level. The DC of recovery checks is equal to 9 + your dying condition value.

Armenga tilts her head to the side, thinking. "Hmm... I do think I recall a story of a student who was expelled. Uduak? I think. He slaughtered a bunch of pugwampis and got kicked out, if I recall correctly. Strange they would be working with him now." She muses. "He was supposed to be dead, killed by wards that the teachers placed to hold him. I wonder what took him all these years to come back..."

As Clank tends to her wounds she thanks him, though still looks to Joseph hopefully as she contemplates using a potion. "Should we try to sneak toward this 'Stone Ghost' and try to learn more? If it looks too dangerous we can always bravely run away."

She follows after Zy, trying to be half as sneaky as he is.

Action 3: 

Reaction: Recognize SpellTrigger A creature within line of sight casts a spell that you don’t have prepared or in your spell repertoire, or a trap or similar object casts such a spell. You must be aware of the casting.

If you are trained in the appropriate skill for the spell’s tradition and it’s a common spell of 2nd level or lower, you automatically identify it (you still roll to attempt to get a critical success, but can’t get a worse result than success). The highest level of spell you automatically identify increases to 4 if you’re an expert, 6 if you’re a master, and 10 if you’re legendary. The GM rolls a secret Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion check, whichever corresponds to the tradition of the spell being cast.

Critical Success You correctly recognize the spell and gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your saving throw or your AC against it.
Success You correctly recognize the spell.
Failure You fail to recognize the spell.
Critical Failure You misidentify the spell as another spell entirely, of the GM’s choice.

Zyrel comments on the cleverness of summoning someone to translate, and poses a question of returning or proceeding onwards.

 

Armenga replies in favor of going forwards, while asking for healing, and asking what the pick is, and what to do with Urbel.

Going into the next area...

 

Three masks and three cloaks are affixed to the south wall of this claustrophobic cave, as though in mockery of people, with arms extended to the sides. All look colorful, but dirty and bloodstained. One of the masks depicts a stern antelope, another a kindly hare, and the last a smiling warthog.

 

Clankerton looks around and notices the secret door that leads southwards, hidden behind and below the hare mask and a bloodstained cloak in yellow and white. He leads the others through.

 

Zyrel sneaks forward, followed by Armenga.

 

This filthy room is jammed with hammocks, blankets, and bedrolls, all heaped into makeshift nests for little creatures. Discarded bits of food, twisted lumps of metal, and bits of stone litter the floor.

 

The room proceeds oddly to the west and then stops suddenly.

One of the outfits—the hare mask and a bloodstained cloak in yellow and white has been affixed to a secret door, which is slightly askew on its hinges, leading southwards. DC 13 Perception check to notice it.

Anyone looking over the cloaks can attempt a DC 15 Nature or Survival check. On a success, dirt and dust on the lower half of the cloaks indicates that each wearer was somehow pulled partially into the ground before being killed.

DC 15 Perception will spot a secret door to the west.

Armenga looks over the display of masks. Antelope, hare, and warthog. "Were these warriors of the Magaambya? Is this a warning?" She collects rhem to take to teacher Ot, thinking he may be interested. Each mask should be unique enough to identify its maker.

She follows after Zy, moving up next to the door and brandishing the pick.

[LDDragon]

Zyrel spots a secret door in the west wall and steps forward to open it.

 

Armenga takes the masks and follows after Zyrel, brandishing the pick.

 

The group observes the room as the door opens.

This well-appointed bedroom and study almost makes one forget that it’s hidden deep underground. The space is neatly furnished with mismatched items, including a bearskin rug and extraordinarily comfortable-looking chair. A heavy professor’s desk sits off to one side, along with a massive, gently scuffed four-poster bed. Rugs and curtains hang in an inadequate attempt to make the space seem less like a cave, but craggy wall peeks through the gaps.

Stone Ghost keeps his room remarkably clean. Most of the furniture looks barely touched; no dust sits on anything, and the bed is neatly made. The only exception is the desk, which bears several papers and journals and obviously sees frequent use. A large clay jug of water sits on the desk as well.

The door opens to reveal a young man with a body made out of chunks of stone, his faceted skin matching the blocks that make up the Magaambya campus. His hair and face are made of ruined mosaics, and his body is covered in fragmentary runes. He appears to be diligently working at his desk. As the door opens, he turns to look at it.

Combat

Everyone roll initiative. Zyrel may choose to use his previous roll of stealth 28 for his initiative, or may roll again, but if you choose to roll, must keep the roll.

Averaged initiative that all enemies go on is 11. Jinkins have not been seen yet.

Tinkercurse, primal, transmutation A group of six jinkins can work together for an hour to imbue an item with a curse at a range of 60 feet. While this process is lengthy, it’s also unobtrusive and can be performed while Hiding. Jinkins prefer to use this ability on magic items. The curse makes the item unreliable (DC 5 flat check or waste any action to Interact with or Activate the item), adds a bizarre requirement to use the item, or imparts some other curse of a similar caliber.

Mechanics

Reaction: Recognize SpellPrerequisites: trained in Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion

Trigger: A creature within line of sight casts a spell that you don’t have prepared or in your spell repertoire, or a trap or similar object casts such a spell. You must be aware of the casting.

If you are trained in the appropriate skill for the spell’s tradition and it’s a common spell of 2nd level or lower, you automatically identify it (you still roll to attempt to get a critical success, but can’t get a worse result than success). The highest level of spell you automatically identify increases to 4 if you’re an expert, 6 if you’re a master, and 10 if you’re legendary. The GM rolls a secret Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion check, whichever corresponds to the tradition of the spell being cast. If you’re not trained in the skill, you can’t get a result better than failure.

Critical Success: You correctly recognize the spell and gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your saving throw or your AC against it.
Success: You correctly recognize the spell.
Failure: You fail to recognize the spell.
Critical Failure: You misidentify the spell as another spell entirely, of the GM’s choice.

You are treated as being in both spaces until the start of your next turn. Your mirror self mimics your actions exactly, but any effects you generate come from only one of your positions; you decide which each time you act. Anything that targets or would affect your reflection affects you and uses your statistics. Something that would target or affect both of you affects you only once. When you move, you choose which square to move from, but the mirror effect ends (see below). Some events force you to determine which image is the real you, and then end the effect and cause your mirror self to disappear; this happens automatically at the start of your next turn. It also happens if you choose to move out of your space. Other benefits of this implement add more events that can end the reflection. The effect also ends when you fall unconscious, at which point you decide which version is truly you. -Exploit VulnerabilitySelect a creature you can see and attempt an Esoteric Lore check against a standard DC for its level, as you retrieve the right object from your esoterica and use your implement to empower it. You gain the following effects until you Exploit Vulnerabilities again. Critical Success You remember the creature’s weaknesses, and as you empower your esoterica, you have a flash of insight that grants even more knowledge about the creature. You learn all of the creature’s resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem’s antimagic. You can exploit either the creature’s mortal weakness or personal antithesis (see below). Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Success You recall an important fact about the creature, learning its highest weakness (or one of its highest weaknesses, if it has multiple with the same value) but not its other weaknesses, resistances, or immunities. You can exploit either the creature’s mortal weakness or personal antithesis. Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Failure Failing to recall a salient weakness about the creature, you instead attempt to exploit a more personal vulnerability. You can exploit only the creature’s personal antithesis. Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Critical Failure You couldn’t remember the right object to use and become distracted while you rummage through your esoterica. You become flat-footed until the beginning of your next turn. Mortal Weakness: Your unarmed and weapon Strikes activate the highest weakness you discovered with Exploit Vulnerability, even though the damage type your weapon deals doesn’t change. This damage affects the target of your Exploit Vulnerability, as well as any other creatures of the exact same type, but not other creatures with the same weakness. Personal Antithesis: -Only the target creature gains a weakness against your unarmed and weapon Strikes equal to 2 + half your level. -Implement's EmpowermentWhen you Strike, you can trace mystic patterns with an implement you’re holding to empower the Strike, causing it to deal 2 additional damage per weapon damage die. -Dubious KnowledgeWhen you fail (but don’t critically fail) a Recall Knowledge check using any skill, you learn a bit of true knowledge and a bit of erroneous knowledge, but you don’t have any way to differentiate which is which. -Diverse Lore-You can take a -2 penalty to your check to Recall Knowledge with Esoteric Lore to Recall Knowledge about any topic -When you succeed at your check to Exploit a Vulnerability, compare the result of your Esoteric Lore check to the DC to Recall Knowledge for that creature; if that number would be a success or a critical success, you gain information as if you had succeeded at the Recall Knowledge check. -Intimidating GlareYou can Demoralize with a mere glare. When you do, Demoralize loses the auditory trait and gains the visual trait, and you don’t take a penalty if the creature doesn’t understand your language. -Scroll ThaumYou can activate scrolls of any magical tradition, using your thaumaturge class DC for the scroll’s DC, rather than a particular spell DC. If a spell is on the spell list for multiple traditions, you choose which tradition to use at the time you activate the scroll. You can draw and activate scrolls with the same hand holding an implement, much like you can for esoterica. -Steeped in HistoryYou gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Recall Knowledge about the Magaambya, the tenets or history of your branch, and members of your branch. At 11th level, this increases to a +2 circumstance bonus. -Talisman EsotericaEach day during your daily preparations, you can make two talismans with an item level no higher than half your level. You know the formulas for all common talismans in the Core Rulebook of your level or lower. You remember your talisman formulas through oral tradition or mnemonics, so you don’t need a formula book for them. -ToughnessIncrease your maximum Hit Points by your level. The DC of recovery checks is equal to 9 + your dying condition value.

Armenga jumps into the room, apprehensive, but she knows this foe is going to be dangerous.

As she moves she notices some shadow under the bed, so she redirects and dives behind the bath in the corner, ducking down behind it and studying the foes.

[LDDragon]

Joseph, having finished patching up his teammates, waits for one of the talky types.

Armenga takes cover and analyzes the jinkins under the bed.

Zyrel darts into the room, firing at Stone Ghost as he moves, managing to skim them in the shoulder, though the rocky composition of the creature appears to have entirely deflected most of the potential damage.

The rocky creature stands, grabs his morningstar and utters a word of protection. A faintly shimmering forcefield settles around him as he shields himself from harm.

Two gremlins crawl out from under the bed, moving towards Stone Ghost, and draw shortswords, facing towards Armenga and Zyrel.

 

 

Combat

Everyone roll initiative. Zyrel may choose to use his previous roll of stealth 28 for his initiative, or may roll again, but if you choose to roll, must keep the roll.

Averaged initiative that all enemies go on is 11. Jinkins have been seen by Armenga.

CREATURES HAVE GONE. EVERYONE MAY ACT IN ANY ORDER!

 

Critical Success You remember the creature's weaknesses, and as you empower your esoterica, you have a flash of insight that grants even more knowledge about the creature. You learn all of the creature's resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem's antimagic. You can exploit either the creature's mortal weakness or personal antithesis (see below). Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.

Jinkins are weak to cold iron, though personal antithesis may do more damage.

 

11 Stone ghost. AC 20. Max HP 40. AC 21 temporarily due to shield spell.

Total 2 damage from Zyrel shooting, due to resistance 5, and double resistance vs non magical, stone, or effects with the earth trait. Assuming that the weapon Zyrel had is not magic, let me know if otherwise.

EDIT ABP at 2nd level means +1 strikes, which I will interpret as magical. Thus the creature takes 2 damage instead of zero.

Tinkercurse, primal, transmutation A group of six jinkins can work together for an hour to imbue an item with a curse at a range of 60 feet. While this process is lengthy, it’s also unobtrusive and can be performed while Hiding. Jinkins prefer to use this ability on magic items. The curse makes the item unreliable (DC 5 flat check or waste any action to Interact with or Activate the item), adds a bizarre requirement to use the item, or imparts some other curse of a similar caliber.

Three masks and three cloaks are affixed to the south wall of this claustrophobic cave, as though in mockery of people, with arms extended to the sides. All look colorful, but dirty and bloodstained. One of the masks depicts a stern antelope, another a kindly hare, and the last a smiling warthog.

One of the outfits—the hare mask and a bloodstained cloak in yellow and white has been affixed to a secret door, which is slightly askew on its hinges, leading southwards. DC 13 Perception check to notice it.

Anyone looking over the cloaks can attempt a DC 15 Nature or Survival check. On a success, dirt and dust on the lower half of the cloaks indicates that each wearer was somehow pulled partially into the ground before being killed.

This well-appointed bedroom and study almost makes one forget that it’s hidden deep underground.

Rugs and curtains hang in an inadequate attempt to make the space seem less like a cave, but craggy wall peeks through the gaps.

You can draw and activate scrolls with the same hand holding an implement, much like you can for esoterica. -Steeped in HistoryYou gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Recall Knowledge about the Magaambya, the tenets or history of your branch, and members of your branch. At 11th level, this increases to a +2 circumstance bonus. -Talisman EsotericaEach day during your daily preparations, you can make two talismans with an item level no higher than half your level. You know the formulas for all common talismans in the Core Rulebook of your level or lower. You remember your talisman formulas through oral tradition or mnemonics, so you don’t need a formula book for them. -ToughnessIncrease your maximum Hit Points by your level. The DC of recovery checks is equal to 9 + your dying condition value.

Armenga pops her head up over the lip of the tub and sees the Jinkins on the other side of the bed. Deciding to keep up this skirmish, she strains to make some rocks fall from the ceiling onto their heads with her nascent magical powers. Then she ducks her head back down.

Free:

Action 1: Scatter Scree DC19 on jinks

Action 2: Scatter Scree

Action 3: Take Cover

Reaction: Recognize SpellTrigger A creature within line of sight casts a spell that you don’t have prepared or in your spell repertoire, or a trap or similar object casts such a spell. You must be aware of the casting.

If you are trained in the appropriate skill for the spell’s tradition and it’s a common spell of 2nd level or lower, you automatically identify it (you still roll to attempt to get a critical success, but can’t get a worse result than success). The highest level of spell you automatically identify increases to 4 if you’re an expert, 6 if you’re a master, and 10 if you’re legendary. The GM rolls a secret Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion check, whichever corresponds to the tradition of the spell being cast.

Critical Success You correctly recognize the spell and gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your saving throw or your AC against it.
Success You correctly recognize the spell.
Failure You fail to recognize the spell.
Critical Failure You misidentify the spell as another spell entirely, of the GM’s choice.

Zyrel studies the presumed Stone Ghost briefly, but can't seem to recall anything useful about the creature. With very limited places to take cover within the room,, he simply stands his ground and fires on the Ghost, hoping Joseph's magics will compensate for losing the element of surprise.

Firea smiled brightly at the obvious compliment at using her summoning gift to get a translator. "Thank you."

Then as the party moved on she would follow closely behind. This was obviously something they were better skilled at, scouting.

Auriflamma would sniff at the air as they moved along. "Hmm."

Then it happened, they found their quarry. The time for battle was here.

"Auriflamma, that one is your target." She told her flaming giant fox companion as she pointed to the spirit.

"As you command Mistress Firea." Auriflamma stated as he began to more towards the Stone Ghost.

Firea began to move as well stopping next to Zyrel she casts a spell filled with Electricity at the Jinkins, striking both. "I'm sorry but I must 'charge' you for your actions."

Auriflamma groans as he moves past her.

Clankerton studied the clever secret door admiringly as his companions moved into position.

"Oh!Fightson!" he blurted as he realised they had found their quarry.

The dwarf charged into the room and closed the distance with the enemy to keep them occupied whilst his classmates did what they did best.

Notes: From a line of famous smiths in Dongun Hold, Clankerton has been fascinating with creating things since a young age. And sometimes destroying them. Whenever he is deep in thought, or otherwise preoccupied, Clankerton will absentmindedly construct/desctrut things as he thinks. An inquisitive soul, he is always asking questions to understand how things work, or why things are the way they are. Clankerton likes to build and create as a way to help others and the communities in which he lives. He loves seeing the looks of amazement on the faces of others whenever he builds something new and wonderful. Clankerton's main flaw is that when he tries to explain something to otheres he usually ends up speaking too quickly and very few can follow and understand him. Relatively tall for a dwarf, Clankerton keeps his beard trimmed short and out of the way. One can't be too careful with getting it trapped in a new creation. He keeps his black hair thick and brushed back so his bright green eyes can see what they are doing. Often slow to respond emotionally, he nonetheless has a bright smile that comes out when he is interested in something. When concentrating Clankerton has a habit of sticking his tongue half out of his mouth. His family had tried to sponsor his entry into the Magaambya to see if learning magic can add value to the family trade. He was unfortunately refused as it was unclear what alignment modern technology had with the teachings of Old Jatembe. They switched focus into getting him into the Blythir College in Arkenstar. He was accepted but recently... expelled in suspicious and frustrating circumstances.
