Age of Ice and Blood: A Pathfinder System Heroic Fantasy Quest

[X] Some of the spoils of the battle
-[X] Some of the stones of the Pale mount (2d6 Ghoul stones that allow the user to cast spells of the Necromancy school at +1 caster level)

I know that these megical shinies are almost useless... but I still want magical shinies!

[X] Prisoners to question before they are killed, either on purpose or though harsh interrogation
 
I was more thinking, with the breastplates, to just completely replace the armour of our current armsmen and keep the lamellar for our archers and knikut friends. Saves us actually quite a lot of gold, looks more intimidating, immediate (slight) benefit, and Tom deserves Masterwork armour.

[X] Some of the spoils of the battle
-[X] The Armor of the more well off foes (2d6 Bronze breastplates 20% chance of masterwork on each one)

[X] Prisoners to question before they are killed, either on purpose or though harsh interrogation
-[X] Who do they follow? Obari directly, one of his loyal lords, 'Redman', etc. This is looking to potentially be a threeway clusterfuck and we need as much information to determine who has what forces available as we can discern.
-[X] Approximately how many of them are there, and where are they located? Are their forces concentrated in Noromo, the countryside, or in other settlements? Of those gathered, what is the ratio of trained warriors compared to simple levies?
-[X] How many ships do they have? How many of them belong to loyal houses or the royal family, and how many were captured or stolen?
-[X] Besides men, what sorts of monsters have they seen, if any, which seem to be loyal to or commanded by Obari or his lords?
-[X] Are there any magic-users known to be among their forces? If so, how many and what manner of magic are they known to wield?
-[X] What is the general attitude and morale of people in Noromo and other settlements loyal to Obari? How has he ruled in the past year? Is food scarce?

Unfortunately, on further thought I don't think we can realistically take prisoners.

Edit: I realise now that in fact DP may have meant pick one of the spoils and vote on the prisoners, not two of the spoils and the prisoners. On the off chance I am wrong, however, will keep the armour on hand. I would prefer to have the armours.
Damn.(

I had a revelation. If we really need to kill the Redman, then we can simply marry Aina to him, and hope he dies a couple days afterwards.
 
I tried to summarize what we know about the problem. Unfortunatly, I did not manage to get any insights, only some speculations which are probably wrong.

About first daemonic incursion and first Fateless​
1) Accorfing to Inge, long time ago Sea Giants learned how to pass "on the memories of the life they lived one on to the other."
2) Wild speculation: could it be that Inge knows this from the book she translated for the Eriran the Seer? "I do not think the Lady would mind it I translated this. The Keepers of the Deep might." Who are these keepers: Giants, Oceanids, Formless? Or all is simpler, and this is Icomi's priesthood?
3) For those, according to Giants, approximately twelve centuries ago Ikomi unleashed Neverborn (anjo-oru) on them. They survived only because of first group of Fateless, a Roman legion. They died in a war, "breaking the wheel of fate".
4) Roman legion was involved in some kind of "Mariner's wars". It was Mariner who led humans on Sunset Islands, and it was those Landfall which happened 1349 years ago (so it probably should be not twelve but thirteen centuries, or maybe archives are incomplete). Unfortunatly, Zaia did not wrote any legends about Mariner so far.
5) Also, these Giants cherished sea cats. Also Roland thinks that Ripper found something odd in Marcella, "before the rat, before even the first time we want through the straights". At the same time Ripper's interlude does not show that he is some kind of secret agent.
About Formless​
6) According to Ohun, Formless are spirits from the times when the world was young. They rejected Elnu's order "those of the sea must swim in the sea and not walk on land or fly in the air" and run into deep. There they cherished a lot of lesser Formless which are "shapers of flesh".
7) Formless took the form of the bodies of Alum and Onogu Iranea. According to Ohun, it was "test of manhood and the proof of its mastery". It's possible that Formless did the same with shaman of Knikut near the Mouth of the World.
8) According to Ohun (although I can be mistaken because the wording is unclear), Formless also fight with daemons: "We are not the only ones who can see what is coming, the seas froth red deeper that the eye of man can pierce, this was a test yes, but also a plan with a purpose")
9) Wild speculation: may daemons be a result of Elnu's wrath against Formless? This does not seems very likely, because why now?
10) Lina Osane had some kind of connection with "Onogu Iranea" and disappeared soon after his death, probably went to the Formless.
About Unke the Red, a.k.a. Readman​
11) It happened "more than six hundred years ago", and it was the latest war in Anwa history. Untill now.
12) According the legend, Unke made some kind of gantlet from the star metal. It could be those gauntlet with which Unke broke Marcella's desk to get rid from Zentragt. It also could be an artifact made by daemons to sell this story better.
13) Unke killed some weird south beast for ivory, and this beast before the death cursed Unke with infertility. Holy man of Ashinu telled Unke that to lift the curse he must conqure all Anwa islands.
14) According the legend, Unke "bedded a mermaid from the deeps and sired upon her twenty sons". It could be only a legend. Or a hint to the connection with Formless (or other sea fraction).
15) Unke had some strange ally named Shadow, capable to many strange diversions. It may or may not be those shapeshifting assasin who killed Negu.
16) About strange assasins: there was a spy on Marcella when she first left Orinilu. According to the divination of lightning spirit, "It was an a man in black guise and black of heart, a killer though he did not come to kill. He was here at the behest of another, one who means ill not just to this ship and all upon it but to the world entire". Although it is probably another assasin connected with some Orinilu shenanigans.
17) According to Unke, "They ("Hollow" – Obari and some type of "Maggot") are but the smoke that comes before the fire and so they come now to me for I am of the Land and I alone can keep them here and away from the hand of their masters in the south". We know that in the south some kind of "shadow man" (former Anwari) has taken the mind of Balwa Feku even before the arrival of Marcella. Aphiwe tried to counter this shadow man, but it was year ago. So at least something in the south is wrong indeed.
18) It's unclear if Unke lies or not. During the battle with Undead Giant and Dahzagan warrioirs cried "For Obari", and during the battle with Urdefhan they cried "He is come!", "Breaker of Kings and Lord of the Land!", "All is for Him, all the islands! All the World!". Although, anjo-oru are famous for lie.
19) Unfortunatly, Zaia wrote nothing about how Unke died.
Miscellanea​
20) According to hedon's skull, "It was more than one, those who made the promise to you and your kind in exchange for meddling with us".
21) Somebody moved Red Lion's tribe against Roland and co after the victory against dragon. Skull is not questioned yet.
22) Ohun's impression about dragon's egg was "The eldest seed made onto stone; In shroud of gold, in troth of bone; The dance of ages grows too swift; Beware thou mortals the parting gift". Zaia wanted to seach the answer in Orinilu, but was too busy. Also, we lost the egg.
23) Also, we broke anjo-oru conspiracy in the north, but their tactics is well reveiled. As for some deeper meaning, Ulk's head is not questioned yet.
24) What were Ilfa's intentions? Roland was right, how did he acquired green stone before his first death? Ohun proposed that he "sought to use that place". Use for what?

I mean none of the others were actually married to her just planning to, maybe that is what breaks the curse. :V

Oh. Then it is easier than that. We just need him to want to marry her and we will then kill him, like the self-blueballed chivalrous knight that can't bed her because we don't want to deal with ruling an island of pirates and proto vikings

In the context, I would suspect Ikomi's established priesthood.

I would not hope that there are two magically skilled assassins behind us, better assume that this is connected.

Nice work bringing all of that together, dude.

Now we need someone to make a Conspiracy Wall sorting it all out for us. :p

So many threads and no way to know how they should be woven together. Was the presence of Daemons intended, or are they merely a side-effect? How are they related to the troubles down south with the Shadowed man, are they allies or rivals? Are the Formless an independent faction or allied with the other malevolent forces we've interacted with or caught wind of this past year?

Equipment of Note: Cold Iron Short Sword, Steel Longsword

Durendal

Appearance: Wrought in the image of a knight's sword of finest bronze, the mark of Oroki of Apuku can still be read upon the base of the blade, yet in its journeys from that island the work of greater smiths has been made upon it also. It burns now with white flame along its edge, as though it had never left the smith's anvil, its hilt bound in a thousand small scales that shine like emeralds in the dark.

Powers:
Medallion of Mind Sentinel

Appearance: A ring wrought of flowing yellow gold in the shape of a dragon or a serpent swallowing its tail. Eyes green as grass sparkle by moonlight and by sunlight.

Ability: The medallion grants a continuous +2 resistance bonus on saves versus mind-affecting spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. If the wearer fails a save to avoid becoming dominated or confused, the amulet immediately allows the wearer to roll a second saving throw to resist the effect as a free action. If this second save is successful, the medallion's power fades away entirely and it becomes a simple piece of jewelry.

Spell-Break Shield

Appearance: Of shining bronze unmarred is the face of this shield, as a mirror to the light of sun and moon and of the hidden realms beyond. What meaning the runes set about its rim might have you cannot say, yet when the power of some spell or enchantment it upon the bearer they burn white as forge's fire.

Abilities:
  • +1 AC (Constant)
  • When affected by a spell of levels 1-3 the bearer may choose as a free action to roll 3d6 for Spell Resistance. If the resulting SR is defeated by more than a margin of 10, the shield gains the Broken condition. If this is repeated with the shield already broken it is destroyed. (3/Day)
Talismans:
  • Nikure's Grace: This silver talisman in the form of two delicate intertwined spirals glows blue whenever an evil creature targets the wearer with magic jar, possession, or a similar effect, or with a charm or compulsion spell or effect that allows the creature to exercise control over the wearer (such as suggestion, but not sleep). If the spell or effect allows a saving throw and the wearer fails it, he receives a second saving throw. If he succeeds at the second saving throw, the wearer is also protected by protection from evil for 5 rounds.
  • Talisman of the Deep Roots: These talismans are wrought not of gold or silver, even of copper, but the pits of mango taken from sacred trees grown in lands where none may turn axe upon the living wood upon them is inscribed the name of the tree from which they are taken, that the bearer might be guarded from sudden falls, as the tree is warded against the storm. The bearer may re-roll any failed roll against being bull rushed by magical or mundane means if this second roll succeeds they are may attempt a grapple against the enemy as a free action.

As long as your ward is adjacent, you remain conscious (though you become staggered) when your hit points fall below 0. While below 0 hit points, you lose 1 hit point per round but gain a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks, dying only if its hit points reach a negative total equal to your Constitution score plus your total hit dice.

Special Abilities:
  • Poison Use (Ex): You are trained in the use of poison and cannot accidentally poison yourself when applying poison to a weapon.
  • Swift Alchemy (Ex): You create Alchemical items in half the normal amount of time and you can apply poison to a weapon as a Move Action.
  • Mutagen (Su): You can create a Mutagen in one hour of brewing. Once brewed, the Mutagen persists until used or you brew a new one. You can drink this Mutagen as a Standard Action in order to gain a +2 Natural Armor bonus and a +4 Alchemical bonus to one of your physical attributes at the expense of a -2 penalty to a mental attribute. Increasing Strength decreases Intelligence, Dexterity decreases Wisdom, and Constitution decreases Charisma. The Mutagen's effects last for 30 minutes (10 minutes per Alchemist level). You cannot benefit from more than one Mutagen effect at a time, and the effects of a new one immediately replace those of the previous Mutagen. If a non-Alchemist consumes the Mutagen, they are Nauseated for 1 hour unless they succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw (10 + 1/2 Alchemist level + INT modifier).
  • Bombs (Su): You can create and throw an Alchemical bomb up to 7/Day (Alchemist level + INT modifier) as a Standard Action that provokes an Attack of Opportunity. The bomb inflicts 2d6 Fire damage (+1 bonus point per damage die), plus bonus damage equal to your INT modifier, and splash damage in a 5 foot radius equal to the bomb's minimum damage. A DC 15 Reflex saving throw (10 + 1/2 Alchemist level + INT modifier) halves splash damage.
    • Fire Bombadier: You only add your INT modifier as a damage bonus to bombs and other Alchemical substances if they deal Fire damage.
Talismans:
  • Nikure's Grace: This silver talisman in the form of two delicate intertwined spirals glows blue whenever an evil creature targets the wearer with magic jar, possession, or a similar effect, or with a charm or compulsion spell or effect that allows the creature to exercise control over the wearer (such as suggestion, but not sleep). If the spell or effect allows a saving throw and the wearer fails it, he receives a second saving throw. If he succeeds at the second saving throw, the wearer is also protected by protection from evil for 5 rounds.

Equipment of Note:


Description: Honey gold crystal bursting forth from roots of silver, this crystal seems more akin to some fruit of the earth than anything mined by the hand of man. Having once been forged for a respected and much beloved midwife and healer of the Boar Folk of Lirman this stone seeks to preserve its bearer against all the ills of the Border Woods, from poison to dark enchantment.

Ability: The Stone of Safekeeping grants its wearer a +2 resistance bonus on all saving throws made to recover from a continuing effect, such as ongoing poison damage, daily saving throws against disease, a hold person spell, or lingering damage from an attack. This bonus does not help against initial saving throws against such effects. Should the wearer ever drop below 0 hit points, the stone heals the wearer for 2d8+3 points of damage and then crumbles to dust.

Talismans:
  • Nikure's Grace: This silver talisman in the form of two delicate intertwined spirals glows blue whenever an evil creature targets the wearer with magic jar, possession, or a similar effect, or with a charm or compulsion spell or effect that allows the creature to exercise control over the wearer (such as suggestion, but not sleep). If the spell or effect allows a saving throw and the wearer fails it, he receives a second saving throw. If he succeeds at the second saving throw, the wearer is also protected by protection from evil for 5 rounds.

Boots of Cat's Luck

Ability: The boot's wearer always takes the minimum possible damage from falls (as the result were 1 on each die of damage incurred by the fall) and at the end of a fall always lands on his feet.

Special: The pendant's other powers, to allow the wearer use Chill Metal 1/Day and to use Mending at will to repair metallic objects, remain unavailable, as you were not its original recipient. Perhaps one of the Tinker Fey can unlock this power once more?

Thanks for the update on the sheets, I would have gotten to it eventually... but with my time on here being more limited I like to focus as much as I can on updates when I have to choose.
  1. Zaia has learned enough of the tongue to understand most of it, but he does not speak it as he does not want to sound uncultured in any tongueif he can help it
  2. Silver did take the mark along with everyone mentioned by name in the update. I had forgotten to mention him

After working on the compiling of lore and riddles I would prefer the end of Redman's story. It suddenly become very important.
Sudden thought: is it possible that this "Unke the Red" has Mythic Rating? He definitely has his own legend.

Something like 4 loreposts about his past for example...
