SUMMARY
Adril Hestram dispatches the Pathfinders to meet Venture-Captain Istivil Bosk in Daggermark. Bosk in turns sends the party to meet Bazzak with the mission to get their hands on the Memoirs of the Silver Brotherhood, a book the Society has long sought. The scenario starts as the Pathfinders are sailing north on the Sellen River. The Black Marquis sent them on one of his own ships captained by Lady Riverbane and with some of his crew to explore the region where his best men died. The party first sees action when buccaneers, river thugs hired by Riverbane to kill the Pathfinders & assault their vessel.
The following day, the party comes across a barge entangled in large spider webs. Closer examination of the wreck triggers an attack from giant spiders. As the Pathfinders resume their search, they find no survivors, only a telltale logbook suggesting that Riverbane ordered the crew to this location. The expedition navigates ever further into Echo Wood until the next morning when Lady Riverbane anchors her boat and leads the Pathfinders ashore. She gives them a map indicating where Bazzak's men died and sends them off into the shadowy depths of the forest. Progressing through a maze of bushes, undergrowth, and webs, the Pathfinders run into a number of insidious traps; some still holding corpses of the Black Marquis' men.
The party finally reaches an ancient shrine to Mazmezz where live the ettercap monstrosities responsible for the recent assaults on the river and the death of all but a few of Bazzak's men. Before they can free the survivors trapped in cocoons and learn more about Lady Riverbane's deception, the Pathfinders must confront the aberrations and survive the last of their traps.
When the Pathfinders exit the crypt, they find Lady Riverbane waiting for them outside with some of her loyal crew. The treacherous woman flouts the Pathfinders and boasts of her plans of a hostile takeover of the Pirate Pact before ordering her minions to attack. After the fight, the Pathfinders retrieve the book they were coveting, knowing it now to be a fake. In the end, the Pathfinders return home emptyhanded with the practical knowledge that doing business with River Kingdoms pirates is more problem than it's worth.
Location: Toa Payoh
Pathfinders:
Lv 3 Tiefling Inquisitor - Anferno
Lv 4 Human Fighter/Barbarian - Theodore Rohan
Lv 3 Human Rogue - Nikolai Kuznetsov
Lv 5 Human Hexcrafter - Kalara
Lv 1 Aasimar Cleric of Shelyn - Ian
Lv 1 Half-Elf Alchemist - Zefren Zodd
Actions of note:
-Kalara: No credit. First PFS Singapore player to re-play for no credit to add her sword to the cause of the Pathfinders. Salute!
-Kalara: Also, first Pathfinder to go swimming after failing her Acrobatics check running across the plank.
-Nikolai Kuznetsov: Disembowelers of opponents. With his disembowelment skills, Nikolai can make Altair ibn La'had of Assassin's Creed fame proud.
-Nikolai Kuznetsove: Also imitated Brad Pitt from Troy by running across the plank and jump-stabbing and one-shotting the thug he engaged.
-Anferno: First PFS SIN player of this date to successfully intimidate in combat. Victim of intimidation surrendered subsequently.
-Anferno: Me no scared no fire Anferno. Took splash damage from fire and direct explosion of a barrel of alchemist's fire, but still, he's untouched from it all.
-Anferno: Savager of dead bodies. Looks especially like a ghoul, after removing Larkus' right hand and head, and in a crouching position, look up at the party with his claws bloodied.
-Theodore Rohan: Real man Rohan. Real man Rohan is the bane of all traps by simply surviving them. No finesse required.
