A Vision of Betrayal Turn Results 18

Searching the body of the Bog mother uncovers a wand of cure light wounds, a club and 8 amethysts worth 150 GP in total.  Searching inside the hollow log uncovers, a pile of leaves which acts as a bed, and a long wooden shelf lining the eastern wall filled with all sorts of potted mushrooms.

The only thing that is found that may constitute “babies” is the small patch of thistles growing in haphazard rows north of the log.

Due to the lateness in the day, the party decided to rest near the log house for the night.

The morning finds Ronan feeling more addled and Fergus reports similar complaints. Both feel as if their heads are in a fog.

Korg struggled forward trying to escape the ensnaring plants all around him. Jerry stepped up and attacked the Bog Mother with both of his weapons but missed the kobold with both.

The Bog Mother attacked Jerry with her club. The attacked missed the nimble ninja as the kobold continued to shout threats at the party. “You will pay for threatening my babies!”

Ronan escaped the entangle and stepped behind Jerry. The magus attacked the Bog Mother, striking the kobold with his scimitar for 6 damage. Holytrauma exited the area of entanglement to stand behind Ronan. Fergus maneuvered into a flanking position with Jerry and attacked the kobold with a ferocious strike. The blow landed and dealt 6 damage which dropped the kobold.

Korg moved forward and cast Acid Splash targeting the alligator. The spell missed the mark due to cover and trying to target the creature while it combated with Jerry. Jerry attacked again with his swords. The katana struck a blow dealing 9 damage.

The Bog Mother scampered over the large log and dropped in front of Jerry. The kobold swag her club at the ninja but she missed the mark. Korg became ensnared in the foliage. Snap Jaw bit at Jerry but again missed the ninja.

Ronan struggled forward through the magical foliage. Holytrauma struggled forward as well but the paladin was able to swing his battleaxe and landed a blow on Snap Jaw. The weapon dealt 11 damage and killed the alligator.

Fergus vaulted to the top of the log and maneuvered to attack the Bog Mother but the cleric’s blow missed the kobold.

The Future (Near and Far)

I am trying to get this scenario completed by Gen Con as it is expected to be retired at that time. I think we can make it as long as folks post on a timely basis. We have 5 1/2 weeks and 2 1/2 encounters left to go.

Thinking ahead, what would you like to do next? Would you like to continue to play a PFS scenario?

Assuming you do, we will have four 2nd level characters and one 1st level. I could run a tier 1-2 module. I have three, all of which can be replayed. Bruce, Dave and Steve have played Godsmouth Heresy for PFS credit with 1st level guys. Matt H, Bruce and possibly Matt F have played Crypt of the Everflame but not for PFS credit. None of you have played Murder's Mark. As they are also replayable, we could also target Master of the Fallen Fortress (Matt F, Dave and Bruce have played) or We Be Goblins (Bruce has run and Matt H, Dave and Steve have played). I have very few other tier 1-5 adventures available that none of the group have played. (More are on the way but it will take some time for them to be published.)

If we wanted to play different characters we could try a tier 3-7 scenario. (I do not have many of these either but again more are on the way.) We can also try a Tier 2-4, a Tier 3-5 or a Tier 4-6 module but that would mean tying up a character for a long time, likely over a year. Not sure that folks want to do that.

All that planning is moot if you guys want to call it quits. Thoughts?
