Legend of the Dragon Bonded - Pathfinder Campaign

[STDM Grizzly Ad]

"Out on his own you say? Any idea where he has gone?"

Looking to the rest of the party he says.

"What do you say? Do you want to go give the little pyromaniac a hand?"

[Aladar]

Aladar huffs and seems more than a little dissapointed in the lack of meat, but he shows his displeasure by getting the next best thing: Potatoes and beets and the like. It should be noted that there is nothing green on his plate, as though he avoided the color entirely. He took a tankard and filled it with spiced ale, not top shelf, but not swill either.

Once he had food, he found himself a seat at one of the long tables, straddling the bench and leaning his side against the table lazily as he eats.

"Someone remind meh." He says between bites. "If one of us crokes before we depart, we get a replacement aye? We have to make it as a group. Can't let us leave without a full clutch aye?"

[EdgeGrinder]

Edge's brows furrowed in annoyance. "The mad bomber went to the Underdark alone?" Aladar had a point. The rest of them would be held up if the goblin were to perish. She did not want to wait any longer to get her dragon. She turned to and looked down at the rodent gunner, Koma. "Very well. I shall accompany you for the mad bomber's sake."

[Mewla]

Mewla finally found her way into the mess hall, in all honesty she had gotten lost among the twist and turns due to something having gotten her attention and distracting her. Trying to not draw attention to the fact she had only just arrived she just quietly slipped onto the bench next to Aladar.

"Did I miss anything?" She asked him sweetly, not seeing anything on the menu that she wanted she didn't bother with food.

[STDM Grizzly Ad]

"Our friendly neiborhood pyromancer has decided to get himself killed in the under dark hunting some meat for the cook. If he doesn't come back, our journey is over before it has begun." Koma says in response to Mewla's query. " I propose we go and offer aide."

[Aladar]

Aladar grunts and taps his tankard. "Ale" He repllies laconically to Mewla. He sighs mightily and does his very best to eat his food until he's out of time and the group begins to move. Even then, he does not abandon his drink. He takes the tankard with him, sipping from it as he follows along with the party.

[EdgeGrinder]

"We'll be in the Underdark. So those of you without great dark vision will need to prepare accordingly." Edge said looking over to Mewla. "Also, the horrors of the deep are very powerful. So I will be completely armed going in." Edge continued to explain.

Edge, being a Drow, had explored the depths of the Underdark caverns at the Mountain Fortress to some extent, but as with her own home tunnels, there is no telling how deep they go.

Edge started for the Underdark. She was going to need to change her into her armor at one of the guard stations.

"I'll be waiting for the rest of you." She said looking back at them with a gleam in her eye.

[Mewla]

"True, it would probably be best if we went to help him." Mewla agreed, pushing herself up from the table before heading back to her room to get her things. "I will meet you all at the gate." She called back over her shoulder before disappearing down the hall.

[Treebeard]

He looks up at the guards and strokes his green, pointy chin. "Hmm, you may just be right. I do enjoy living very much" He turns around and heads off in search of his team "I shall return!"

[EdgeGrinder]

Edge left Mewla, Koma, and Aladar behind in the mess hall. She knew they'd come. She crept through the halls heading for the tunnels to the Underdark. She hoped to catch up to Globber before he went down himself, perhaps the guards would talk him out of it, or maybe he'd rethink the whole thing. The mad bomber sometimes as predictable as his volatile as the bombs he concocted, however, he had made bombs for her in the past, so he was worth having around.

"Globber! You wretched fire bug!"

[Treebeard]

Perks his head up as he hears someone call his name "What?!" He shouts back

[Croverus]

The chef gives Koma a shrug to his question, there are a number of gates he could have gone to.

Globber can hear Edge shout but the design of the tunnels echoes her voice. (Perception check)

Likewise she hears him shout back, but with a similar echo. (Perception check)

[Aladar]

Being fully armored already, Aladar easily catches up to Edge, and he's still holding his tankard. He takes the time to drink it as he walks, irritated at being dragged away from his meal by something so low as a goblin in trouble.

[STDM Grizzly Ad]

With the shrug Koma asks the chef to point out where he last saw the goblin. Koma begins scanning the area looking for goblin tracks.
Survival (1d20+18)[20]
In case he is close enough to hear the shouting:
Perception (1d20+21)[27]

[EdgeGrinder]

Edge and Aladar follow Globber's voice. Edge's sense of urgency seemed to disappear as Globber's voice echoed through the halls. Edge turned to Aladar. "He's safe. He has not yet ventured into the Underdark."

Soon, they gain sight of him.

[STDM Grizzly Ad]

Koma heads toward the shouting, and after a few twists and turns he finds them.
"Well, there you are. Which gate are we planning on entering? I will send word to Mewla so that she can find us quickly." Once the gate has been established Koma will reach into his duster and remove a small piece of paper and a pin that resembles a silver raven. He holds the Raven in both hands and whispers some words to it. The raven then grows to the size of a real raven and comes to life, though it is clearly still made of silver. Koma scribbles down the gate information and ties the note to the raven's leg. He focuses his thoughts and produces a mental image of Mewla and the bird flies off.

[Mewla]

Mewla arrived shortly after that, having been headed out her door when the raven found her. Once back with the group with her armor on and belonging in her bag she offered Koma a sweet smile.

"Thank you for the bird, I would have been lost without you." She told him with a sly little wink.

[Croverus]

The group finally altogether, you make your way back to the gate and the guards warn you to be careful. The passages can get twisted and being lost just 100ft from the gates is a poor way to end up dead.

[EdgeGrinder]

At the guard stations, Edge excused herself to a private room and changed into her Boneless Leather Armor. The leather suit was form fitting and quite flattering to her figure. Her Sword of Subtlety was belted to her left, her hidden dagger remained on her right wrists, a bandolier over her shoulder and across her chest packed with darts, a vial of Drow poison, and a sap. Her Bag of Holding I hung on her hip while tied to the bandolier while her Bag of Holding III was tied to her back to keep it from hindering her.

"I'm ready when you are." She said.

[Treebeard]

He looks around at everyone "Alright, we ready?"

[STDM Grizzly Ad]

The Raven returns to Koma after delivering its message. When it lights on his arm, he whispers to it once more and it shrinks back to its miniature pin size and Koma tucks it away once more. He returns Mewla's smile when she arrives, "It was nothin'."
On the way to the gate Koma stops at the stabling area and returns a moment later strapped securely into the saddle of a large red eyed black gecko. Once at the gate he throws open his duster revealing a second set of arms, he opens two pouches on his bandoleer and draws a pair of polished four-barrelled rifles. Proping the left one on his hip, he tips his hat with the other.

"I'm ready when you are."

[Aladar]

Aladar tosses his empty tankard over his shoulder with a clatter, wiping his lips with the back of a gauntleted hand.

"Are we seriously going hunting anyways?" He asks, wondering what the point of doing such truly is when they will be traveling overland to their final destination. Going down seems rather counterproductive. Regardless, he has all of his gear with him, all of it worn, with the exception of a few things that are tucked neatly beneath his breastplate.

[Croverus]

As the group ventures beyond the relative safety of the torchlight, their darkvision allows them to see the world around them in black and white. Mewla is the only one unable to see without generating her own light source, but can smell her surroundings, knowing which direction each of her companions is. The group can see the tunnel twist before them before it begins splitting into multiple paths, some impossible to get to without climbing. An occasional patch of glowing mushrooms provides small areas of soft blue light, though most batches only illuminate a 5ft area. Other than fungus and a few sleeping bats on the ceiling, no sign of any other creatures right away.

(Everyone make Perception checks, note that anything beyond the range of your dark vision cannot be seen no matter how well you roll, but you might still hear it. If you have more than just regular vision and darkvision, please note this - I already am taking Mewla's Scent into account for her perception and she will be given information accordingly, but if you have LLV than the mushrooms spread light to their space and all spaces around them as well as low light)

[STDM Grizzly Ad]

Koma scans the area as they walk, taking in the glow of the fungus and trying not to disturb the bats.

Perception: (1d20+21)[27] +llv

[Treebeard]

Globber looks around the area as they walk.

Perception (1d20+18)[26]
Stealth (1d20+8)[22]

[Mewla]

If Mewla was uncomfortable in the dark she gave no sign of it as she followed her nose to stick with the others, though she wasn't really trying to be stealthy.

Perception (1d20+13)[33]

[Aladar]

Aladar tightens his grip on his Glaive as they make their way through the darkness. "Tis too quiet. I don't like it." He issues a command softly and his Glaive-Guisarme blade bursts into flame, illuminating the near area like a torch.

[STDM Grizzly Ad]

"So much for the element of surprise." Koma says under his breath as he eases back out of the firelight.
(Will follow the party at a distance of 40' behind.)

[Croverus]

As Aladar's galive covers itself in flames, he creates light around himself like a torch, bathing the area within 20ft of him in bright light, and dim light extending another 20ft beyond that. Anyone within 20ft of him no longer benefits from their stealth roll unless they have cover or concealment. The dim light just reaches the walls on either side and the ceiling above him is just visible within the bright light. Ahead the runnel splits three ways; one path leading straight ahead but the tunnel reducing to half it's current size, another tunnel branching to the left and curving up at a steep angle, and the third tunnel goes to the right and seems to widen into a large cavern. Natural stone pillars have formed in these tunnels and the sound of dripping water can be heard by everyone. The light does not reveal anything new, but those of you with darkvision now notice that there are a few patches of mushrooms that do NOT glow in the dark, though you can only make out their shapes in the dark; 2 large toadstools the size of a dwarf on opposite walls of the cave, with smaller mushrooms growing from a bed of roots. Everyone with darkvision except Aladar notices something among the roots, possibly bones or carapaces of small creatures.

[STDM Grizzly Ad]

"Careful ahead." Koma says just loud enough to be heard by the party. "There seems to be a fungus among us. And these fungi's don't look like much fun guys."
