Chapter 4: Journey to Red Cat Cave
Througout the night Grandfather Eiwa passes and a discussion is had about what to do with the body. Traditionally you excarnate your dead, but with the Burning Mammoths right on your tail, you are forced to burn his body in a large bonfire. You do so at dawn.

There's a short ceremony where everyone who wants can come and tell a story about Grandfather Eiwa. Wipa comes up and says she's naming her oldest of her two newborn sons Eiwa, and her daughter Sidke after Grandfahter Eiwa's mother. She also accepts the traditional addition to her name signifying birthmother and is known henceforth as Wipakoa.

After the ceremony Argakoa gathers you. "The four leaders have talked, we find the trip to Red Cat Cave risky at best but want to fulfill his final request."
OOC:
You need to decide what route to take the following.

"Here," Koram suggests, pointing to the location on the west bank of the lake, "Directly south-east, to start. Once we get to the lake, let us determine our next steps from there, as much may depend on how close and present danger is."

You start your journey to the south east. The first day goes fine, but scouting ahead of the following the second day you see a river barge making its way downriver. You see what is probably the captain stand and wave at you, taking a trinket out of a crate and pointing to it then waves you closer.
OOC:
One thing we haven't used yet is exploration activites. When in exploration mode you can take activities that you take between encounters. This can be Avoid Notice, Detect Magic, Investigate or Scout. The full list is in the link. Please post your Exploration Activity in OOC under your posts, and then that will be your activity until a new one is posted.

I think he's seen us... at least some of us. Looks like they want to trade. Or maybe it's a trap.
I'll take cover in the bushes and sneak down towards the boat. If he's friendly I'll stay put but if they attack I'll strike swiftly from the shadows.

I'll go down and see what they're about. They may have information about the areas along the river. If they're friendly..that's great we can trade. If they're hostile...then they'll learn today is not the day to mess with us.

Atticus raises his hand and waves back at the man on the boat. Using his spear as a walking stick he starts to move towards the boat and its occupants.

Getting closer you see the rivermen are wearing brown and blue cloaks that hide their faces. They row their boat closer to the coast and still keeps pointing to the trinkets. They seem to try and contact you using sign language. Though Atticus can tell something is off. He can see two of them are hiding falchions under their cloaks. In addition he can tell that the mossy rock overhang is slippery, something that would be easier to see from the riverside.

You can that the red and blue marked token is wielding falchions under their cloaks.

Koram watches as Atticus approaches the boat. He would rather catch these men by surprise if at all possible and attempts to maneuver around unseen in case they decide to attack.

Haitith, however follows shortly behind Atticus, wishing to present a more challenging target should those on the boat decide a fight might be worth their time.

The boat gets as close as it can to shore. They try to motion that it's hard to get the boat to go backwards. The man in the back holds up a few more trinkets, then he holds up some coin trying to get you closer.

Haitith gets to within 15ft of the boat so that he is clearly visible then releases a roaring 60ft jet of electrical energy into the air, purposely up and over the heads of those in the water. Simultaneously, Koram uses his magic to create the sound of roaring thunder centered around the boat.

Koram steps out around the south end of the boat with his crossbow readied. "Do you speak our words, stranger?" he says in Hallit "Or do you simply mean to goad us into striking distance?"

Igbork's aim is true, and the arrow graces the sailor. Meanwhile the other sailor that when aground goes around the grease and gets around Koram. She lets loose with a heavy strike, but Koram dodges easily.

One of the sailors in the boat throws a bottle at Haitit. Seeing the bottle hit, he is emboldened to draw another bottle from the dwindling supply and throws that one, which crashes into the side of the outcropping.

With all the commotion, Atticus and Haitith can hear screaming from the boat. It seems to come from one of the crates.

As Haitith descends the cliff a Koram sends out an electrical charge. It hits one of the sailors, and jumps to the next who has a lucky slide on the grease and avoids part of the blast.

Then Igbork seemingly appears and with a stab hit the sailor that took the bigger brunt of electricity.

Meanwhile in the boat one of the sailors stands and lets loose with a couple of punches at Atticus. The first blow is easily dodge, and the other he parries aside with his shield. One of the other boatmen sees an opening and steps closer and gives Atticus a punch, but the boat rocks making his attack miss.
OOC:
Sadly can't spend hero points on damage rolls. But the hero point does turn it into a hit.

Atticus can take an Attack of Opportunity at the orange boatman.

Igbork’s first arrow hits the sailor hard in the chest, and he falls back with a shriek. Getting back up he shows he’s still in the fight for now.

He seems to panic however, and pushes off from the shore with his oar. He stands up and tries to push Atticus off the boat. He hits, and the warrior goes tumbling into the cold water.

Meanwhile on shore, the red sailor seems to realize there’s a little more fight in these people than they might have intended. He runs back to the ship, lets loose with an attack on Koram as he passes by and then makes a jump for the ship. He lands prone in the back of the boat.

Blood spurts as the sailor is hit hard in the thigh by Atticus, before falling back, dying and bleeding out.

The greased sailor attempts a similar tactic as his friend, but slashes at Hatith as he runs back to the boat. His attack is more desperate and Haitith has no trouble dodging it, though he is able to jump back to the boat with the same ease and lands prone in the back as well.

Seeing everyone is aboard one of the sailors pushes off hard from shore, hoping the undercurrent will take them away until they are out of range.

The other sailor tries to repeat the attempt to push Atticus overboard, and once again it succeeds. He falls back into the now deeper water. Success in his mind, he steps in the boat and tries to repeat his attempt with Haitith, which turns out to be harder to push overboard.

"Nah! We ain't got no one else," one of the thugs says, seemingly glad to have a small chance at survival. "Though we did hear word of a kelpie along the river somewhere." They seem to believe Koram.

Meanwhile away from the slavers, the halfling introduces herself as Harbinna Farwinder. She's a cartographer and explorer who has decided to map out the area. A few months ago, she stumbled on a tattered map of the Gornok Plain that belonged to a spiritualist from northern Avistan. The spiritualist wrote notes on the map as he explored the region, traveling eastward just like you are. His map includes a description of the Gornok Plain, the Gornok River, and a little sketch of Rockloom. To the east, he drew an icon of a cat-shaped cave mouth and one word—"tiger?"—though apparently he never made it that far; his notes stop suddenly at a spot labeled Gleaming Sun Lake.

As far as treasure goes, I feel those of the following are more communal by nature. Maybe we would take small trinkets for ourselves as trophies, but overall 'treasure/wealth' I vote we make as a communal pool.

Things we find of particular usefulness we can just make sure go to the person who might make the best use of it, for the good of the Following. Thoughts?
"A kelpie, huh? Good to know." Koram says, tightening the rope binding them to the tree, "Thanks."

He heads back to the others and discusses next steps with them out of earshot of the slavers. "I agree, Harbinna, unless you have somewhere you can get to safely, you should accompany us. Though, truth be told, it may even be safe doing that. We are being followed." He explains the slight ordeal with their pursuers.

Looking over the maps, he nods and agrees, "Yes, okay. This is good information, our maps alone do not provide clear detail as to where we venture. We may need to be careful around this tiger cave," he says, pointing, "if we come close to it."

Atticus suggests they bring the details of the spiritualist's map into their own and he nods, "Harbinna, if you agree to come with us, it may be a wonderful opportunity for you to continue your cartography work, as we venture into unknown territory. What do you say? Do you think you could map things out while we travel and explore? In exchange, we will offer the protection our group can afford."

Following the river, you soon come upon a group of burning mammoth scouts that seems to have some weird creature caged up on a travois. They are cutting off chunks of the creature and dropping it into the river. Two men are standing by and keeping a watch, though they seem to preoccupied to laugh at the creature's pain than paying attention to any attack.

At the same time, an arrow from the bushes hits the same hunter in the side.

Haitih runs up next to Atticus and lets loose with a breath of electricity. The closest hunter is able to dodge part of the blast, but the other one who’s barely had time to register an attack takes the full brunt of the blast.

Another guard draws his spear and runs forward to skewer Atticus.

One of the hunters draws his spear and tries to run around to get into a flanking position. He does not have the movement, but does open himself open to an attack from Atticus. Then he stabs back at Atticus.But the fighter is able to parry the blow.

The one that looks like the leader, likewise draws his spear and strides forward before throwing a spear at Haitith. The spear hits the eidolon.

The creature keeps trashing in its cage.

The most damaged hunter draws another spear and runs around to flank Haitih. He gets in one attack as well. Making a vicious wound.

The purple hunter steps so he flanks Atticus and lets loose with two quick jabs of his spear. The first of which hits.

The last hunter, seeing you have the upper hands runs over to the cage and tosses it off the travois so the cage shudders. It still holds, but it has weakened enough for the creature inside to force its way out.

The red hunter curses as Grom appears beside him, and he instinctively attacks the new arrival. Though, maybe seeing the creature freed is affecting him as both attacks miss. He then runs away from the newly freed creature.

With his spear drawn, he lets loose with a devastating attack that hits Atticus hard in the side. Then he jumps off the travois and heads towards the bushes, leaving Atticus alone with the angered creature.

The creature lashes out at whatever the closest creature is, and attacks Atticus. His armor is just barely enough to keep back its’ wild attacks.

The red hunter lets loose with one attack versus Grom before running the opposite direction.

OOC:
Koram, Trip works a bit differently in Pathfinder 2e. It is an Athletics check against the target’s Reflex DC. And you don't roll damage normally.

Critical Success The target falls and lands prone and takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage.

Success The target falls and lands prone.

Critical Failure You lose your balance and fall and land prone.

Also, since the hunter failed his save, he perished. So Igbork and Grom can redo his action based on him no longer being a valid target.

If you are 'trained' in Medicine, then it is a DC 15 to heal 2d8hp, so it looks like a success to me :D

Harbinna Farwander
You spend another day traveling, finally a day without any trouble and you get your following closer to your destination.

When you return for the evening you are approached by Harbinna Farwander, the halfling you saved a few days ago.

"I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time?" she asks, and before you have time to answer, she continues talking. "We are getting close to the lake. As you may recall I was following an old map I had found. It belonged to an old spiritualist from northern Avistan, and at the lake his notes suddenly stop. I believe he ran afoul of the kelpie my kidnappers mentioned. And while it could be dangerous, I would like to come with you when you get to the lake. I want to figure out for myself what happened to the explorer."

"Haitith," Koram calls, "keep an eye on Harbinna if we find ourselves in danger. Do what you can to keep her safe."

"I will do so - of my own free will, mind you, not because you commanded it of me! My instinct to protect the weakest of the group would have me stay at your side, Koram, but I like Harbinna. She smells like home."

Koram squints. "What does that even mean?"

Chapter 4: Journey to Red Cat Cave
OOC:
Here's what Igbork can remember about Kelpies: Kelpies are malevolent amphibious fey shapechangers intent on luring mortals to their doom. These cruel predators lurk in and around areas of water, slightly preferring freshwater over saltwater. Kelpies lure or drag their prey underwater then drown and devour them, leaving behind only the victim's heart and liver— the only parts of a meal kelpies find unpleasant. Kelpies are fond of magically disguising itself as fine steeds or attractive strangers to draw in victims, but its true appearance takes the form of a hideous equine with slimy, green flesh resembling aquatic plants.

Some fanciful stories about kelpies speak of them appearing in equine form wearing riding tack, complete with silver stirrups and bridle bit. These folktales claim that cutting the harness from the kelpie's body grants the bearer power over it, or causes the kelpie to sicken and die.

You also remember that they as fey creatures are vulnerable to cold iron.

Yeah now I remember! My mom told me stories about them. They live in the water and look green and slimey but they are tricky beasts. They can disguise themself as a magnificent steed or attractive gal or guy. And they like people... as food that is. They devour whole humans but they leave the heart and liver. So if we find rests of their meal we know that one is nearby. So we better be careful Igbork tells the group

The next day you set of early, hoping you will be able to get to Gleaming Sun Lake and just after noon you can see it in the distance. A couple of hours later you've made your way down to it and while looking for a place to set up camp you hear a noise and from the lake you can hear cries for help. About 30 feet from shore you can see a man who looks to be from Kellid descent fighting with something under the water. The water seems to reach him up to the breast. "Come! Help! Quickly!"

Igbork lets loose with two arrows which both hit their target. The creature screams in pain and anger.

Habrinna moves trance-like towards the creature, but in the water she too comes to her senses.

Atticus closes the distance, strikes once before raising his shield. It’s obvious the creature is more used to moving about in the water as it easily dodges his blow.

The kelpie bites first at Atticus then at Haitith. The first strike is a mighty one, and if it hadn’t been for his shield, it would have been a mightier hit. The eidolon is able to avoid another bite though.

Igbork realizes the biggest problem with searching the kelpie's body is that is has no pockets. Luckily Koram is able to find a lair a little bit down the beach. There you find a runestone, a small vial containing some strange clear fluid, an alabaster pendant that gives off magical aura and a lump of amber worth 5 gp.

Another few days pass, and you become more and more confident that the majority of the Burning Mammoths are far behind you. The days become boring repetition as nothing exciting is happening. Eventually you arrive at the Grandparents.

This wide, windswept valley marks the beginning of the Tusk Mountains and the point at which the Broken Tusks typically turn north for the summer. The expanse is several miles wide, but rolling hills and mountains rising high to the northwest and southeast make the area feel smaller than it is. The way the peaks loom over the plain gives an impression of enormous, stooped figures, hence their name: the Grandparents.

The following has always stopped in the valley between the Grandparents to engage in quiet rituals honoring departed ancestors. Even with the Burning Mammoths in pursuit; no one wants to skip taking some time to observe this tradition, especially now with Grandfather Eiwa among those to be remembered.

The wolf runs up and harries the porter, giving him a hard time as its fangs close around the man’s padded armor.

Meanwhile, Grom realizes that the mist envelopes the whole area. Making it hard to make out details within and details outside.

Atticus runs forward and knocks the green porter on his ass. Drawing his sword he utters: "Yield!"

Meanwhile the yellow porter crawls on his hands and knees out of the slick surface and the fog and gets back up and slashes at Koram with his cargo hook. "You will not make me look like a fool!" he sneers, though in his anger he stumbles and almost tumbles back on his ass.
OOC:

As Haitih knocks the last porter to the ground, you can hear Ardissa yelling something in her strange language before dismissing the cloud of mist. She holds her hands up and she motions for the porters to lay down their weapon as well. A few more words escape her mouth, and while you cannot understand her, the meaning is clear from her anger and the porters' reaction.

"Lady Pendergast wants to apologize for our behavior," one of them says through gritted teeth, obviously embarassed to get a talking to by Ardissa.

Igbork slowly unsheathes his shortsword, lays it down into the grass behind him and makes a few steps away from it while raising both hands up to his chest.
He smiles as wide as he can, not because he finds the situation funny or enjoyable but to defuse tensions.
Yes we had a bit of a misunderstanding I think. We accept your apology and apologize in return if we scared you. I think it's good that no one got seriously hurt.

"Oh, hullo," the halfling squeaks . "Would it be a terrible inconvenience for you to get me down?" she asks. She stands about 3 feet tall and has brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a sensible adventuring outfit consisting of midnight blue linen pants and a white linen shirt under a deep green traveler's cloak. An odd symbol, that of a face in what appears to be a nimbus, adorns her neck.

Igbork furrows his eyebrows, looking left and right. After he made sure that this was not some kind of elaborate ambush he approaches the tree.
He looks at the symbol on the halfling's neck. He doesn't think he can recognize it.

The hunchbacked creature moves with surprising speed for something with it’s strange appearance and avoids part of the breath weapon.

Red moves towards the west and fires two arrows at Haitih and both of them hit.

Then green moves north, and fires another two arrows at Haitih. This time however the first one goes far and lands in the ground between the eidolon and its summoner. The second arrow hits it mark, though barely and it is only a scratch.

The strange hunchbacked creature moves forward with confidence and it says some arcane words and motions with his arms. Moments later a greasy substance appear beneath Haitih.
OOC:
The feature in the middle is a pit, so quite possible to see through though not to move through without jumping.

The second attack should be 5 lower, but still a hit at 20.

Haitith needs to make a Reflex save DC 18 or fall prone (as must everyone trying to pass through the area marked with red.)

Artesia pulls out a sling and sends a stone flying towards one of the creatures. It misses, though only by mere inches from its head.

Igbork fires off a flurry of arrows and one of them hits the hunchbacked creature.

Haitith moves out of the green goo and goes into combat with the hunchbacked creature and it is able to dodge all his attacks.

Red lets loose with a couple of arrows at Haitith to defend his leader, but only manages one weak gracing hit. Then he maneuvers to be right in front of the pit.

Green falls back and fires two arrows at Fenris. One arrow graces the wolf.

The hunchback’s hands crackle with electricity as it reaches out to touch Haitith. It gets its hands on the dragon and electricity shoots out of the creatures hands and into Haitith. The feedback and connection to Koram causes the summoner great harm. The creature laughs as it scurries back away from the dragon.

Fenris runs at green and gives it a mighty bite, causing the creature to call out in pain.

Igbork lets loose with another flurry of arrows, but none of them hit. Though one flies frightfully close to the creature.

Then Artesia moves forward and tries to give the small creature two big whacks with her staff, but it is too small and agile for her strikes.

Haitih does a tactical retreat and lets loose with its breath, causing a small bit of harm on the hunchbacked creature.

Then the red creature moves back and fires two arrows at Artesia. The first one hits the cleric in the shoulder.

Then green uses a similar tactic and fires at Fenris. Again one arrow hits its mark causing Fenris to yelp in pain.

The hunchbacked creature walks up to Fenris and lets loose with a bite and a claw strike. Both strikes hit, the bite being particularly effective and brings the wolf down to unconsciousness.

The creature screams in pain as a mighty bolt of good energy hits it.
OOC:
Koram, sorry about that. Missed that you also moved. You can do your next action based on being next to Haitith.

Artesia, you add your Wisdom mod of +4, and because you are trained in your spell attacks you add +4 (your level +2) for a total of +8. When it comes to Heightened spells, you heighten it when you gain access to higher spell level (that means level 3, 5, 7, etc.). It would be 1d4+4 for now, and you only add dice and not your spellcasting ability modifier (look at Heal that specify that you also add your mod). But since it was a natural 20 you do roll 2d4 and add 8 for a total of 12.

Igbork can recall that all the creatures encountered were Gremlins. The escaping creatures were Pugwampis. They enjoy preparing pranks involving spikes, excrement, pits full of spiders, and the like. Pugwampis are somewhat deaf and thus often yell loudly to each other when not hiding. Many pugwampis worship gnolls as gods and aspire to be more like gnolls, although gnolls hate pugwampis even more than most creatures do, due to their sycophantic fawning. They also takes great pleasure in the unfortune of others.

While the hunchbacked creature was a Nuglub. Nuglubs enjoy killing with a glee that other gremlins reserve for sabotage. Indeed, they spend long hours preparing ambushes for unwary travelers or plotting the murders of sleeping villagers. Though less technically inclined than their kin, nuglubs do enjoy building traps. They delight in stealthily constructing traps in places their victims consider familiar, such as front doors and the floors around beds. If someone else gets blamed for the mayhem the nuglub creates, all the better. They are vicious fighters and can do great harm to prone enemies. Nuglubs rarely gather in groups larger than half a dozen, as quarrels often lead to violence and cannibalism. A lone nuglub who bullies a group of smaller gremlins is more likely to get their way, and thus less likely to attack their allies.

The creatures seems to stay away with their leader dead. And you have ample time to heal yourselves back up. You are able to return to the camp where a bonfire and warm stew awaits you.

Artesia, you find several of the children of the camp coming up to you and pestering you with questions about who you are and what you're doing here.

"Another stray?" Letsua says with a smile when he notices. He turns to Artesia and motions for the children to leave you alone. "You are welcome to take of our food and lodgings as long as you need. I am Letsua... the elder of the tribe." This last statement is made with great sadness.
