@DragonParadox, some questions, if it's not too much trouble for you.

1. I thought about adding Esha's Low-light vision and Darkvision 60 ft to her sheet, and we should also add her Soulward special ability. Would this description work?
  • Soulward (Su): As long as Esha has her Soulrider on Roland, she can at will as a swift action give him +2 profane bonus to will saves until her next round*. If active, it can be seen by seers with a particularly discerning eye or a specific hatred of the living dead*.

2. Is there anything you can tell us on Goldfish's question about Esha trying to commune with Marcella?
Goldfish said:
Was this attempt at least a constructive one, as in Esha learned more of how to do it more quickly in the future, or Marcella might be more easily awakened next time we try?

3. Would you allow Esha's Repair Light Damage as a more powerful, or at least as much as powerful, version of Inge's Mending? Asking because there is not much in Repair Light Damage description, in particular regarding magic.

3.1. Mending has to work with all of the object's pieces. RLD can restore missing pieces, right?
3.2. Mending can repair magic items with caster level <= mender's CL. There is no such restriction for RLD, is there?
3.3. Mending can repair destroyed objects. RLD states:
it repairs objects and constructs that aren't destroyed

Click to shrink...
Do you rule it as "(objects) and (constructs that arent destroyed)", so that RLD can repair destroyed objects? Or that it can't?
3.4. Mending repairs destroyed magic items, but they lose magic in the process. If RLD can repair destroyed objects, would you allow RLD to repair destroyed magic items with their magic intact?
3.5. Mending has no effect on objects that were warped or transmuted; is it the same for RLD?
3.6. Finally, if there are some non-overlapping limitations to Mending and RLD, e.g. not repairing magic items and not repairing destroyed objects respectively, could we skirt around them if Inge and Esha would both cast Mending and RLD together at the same time? Maybe as some kind of ritual?

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Esha can prepare it tomorrow to repair Roland's armor without any of the previous issues Inge had using Mending on weapons, and likely armor, too.

  1. Sure, will add when I have a bit of time
  2. Not really, she just rolled too poorly, like not a crit fail or anything, but consistently low across three rolls so while she got the ship's attention it was too little too late
  3. Repair light damage is able to heal constructs, which mending cannot really do beyond cosmetic level, the latter is just a cantrip after all. RLD cannot restore missing pieces just like cure light wounds on which it is based cannot regenerate limbs. It is primarily a spell about healing constructs hence why it was in the spell-book of the mad construct maker

Equipment of Note: Cold Iron Short Sword, Durendal (+1 Keen Bronze Longsword), Steel Longsword

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.

  • 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.

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:

Equipment of Note: Ikomi-blessed Cauldron of Brewing (+5 Competence bonus to Craft (Alchemy) skill checks and self-heating), Masterwork Wyrwood Dagger


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

Description: At first sight these boots looks like nothing more than sturdy travel wear, albeit with an ostentatious fastening, but to the mage's eye there is a glint of good fortune forged into the silver, such that one should only ever fall like the cat upon its feet.

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.

  • 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.

Spell-like Abilities (CL 3):
Arcanist Exploits: Each use of an Arcanist Exploit uses one or more points from your Arcane Reservoir.
  • Arcane Barrier: Provides 5 Temporary Hit Points (Arcanist level + CHA modifier) and inflicts an equal amount of Negative Energy damage on whoever breaks the barrier.
  • Aspect of Innocence: Gain the effects of an Innocence spell as an Immediate Action at your caster level.
  • Soulrider
Special Abilities:
  • Arcane Reservoir (Su): You start each day with 4 points in your Arcane Reservoir (3 + 1/2 Arcanist level), and it can hold up to 6 points (3 + Arcanist level).
  • Consume Life (Su): By wresting a soul from life to death, you gain a slightly deeper understanding of mortality, fueling your curiosity and eldritch power. As a Full-Round Action, you can consume the life energy of a helpless living creature, killing it. This creature must have 2 or more Hit Dice and be below 0 hit points. You add 2 points to your Arcane Reservoir if the creature's Hit Dice equaled or exceeded your character level, or 1 point if the creature's Hit Dice equaled at least 1/2 your character level. This ability is a Death Effect.
  • Darkvision (Ex) 60 ft: You are able to see with no light source at all out to a range of 60 ft. Darkvision is black-and-white only (colors cannot be discerned). It does not allow characters to see anything that they could not see otherwise — invisible objects are still invisible, and illusions are still visible as what they seem to be. Likewise, darkvision subjects a creature to gaze attacks normally. The presence of light does not spoil darkvision.
  • Light Sensitivity: You are Dazzled in areas of bright sunlight or within the radius of a Daylight spell.
  • Low-Light Vision (Ex): You have eyes that are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as normal in dim light. Low-light vision is color vision. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to him as a source of light. Characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can during the day.
  • Necromantic Focus (Ex): You must prepare at least one Necromancy spell of each spell level you can cast.
  • Soulward (Su): As long as Esha has her Soulrider on Roland, she can at will as a swift action give him +2 profane bonus to will saves until her next round*. If active, it can be seen by seers with a particularly discerning eye or a specific hatred of the living dead*.
  • Twilight Barrier (Su): Whenever an attack removes the last Temporary Hit Point from your Arcane Barrier, the barrier lashes back at the attacker, dealing an amount of Negative Energy damage equal to the barrier's maximum Temp HP capacity.
  • Unhallowed Birth: You take a -1 penalty to your caster level whenever you are in an area affected by Consecrate, Hallow, or a similar spell that makes an area Holy.

Fucking pirates!

I would love to run another ship down, but we're in no condition to be willfully seeking out another battle, and the Pride is going to be needing whatever help we can provide ASAP. There is also the possibility that if we move to attack another ship, one or even both of its fellows might take the opportunity to turn back and gang up on us.

[X] Stay and offer what healing you can to the Pride

That appears to be the case, thankfully. We definitely would have lost at least a couple of them without magical healing, and no telling how many would have died from the severity of their wounds or infections in the coming days.

The Pride's crew is probably in much worse shape.

Fucking pirates...

After this I'm expecting a recurring bad joke where you keep killing a pirate who has a kin or cousin like in an Italian mafia so there's a vendetta that leads to pirates banding together to take on the Marcella because their cousins or brothers kept dying to Roland's adventurer party.
 
@DragonParadox, or you can use the last version of Rules and Lore I edited the fixed calendar in:
Rules ​
  1. This is q quest using the Pathfinder 1.0 System
  2. E6, this is a low magic setting where magic is precious and hard to get your hands on (Link to the P6 Codex)
  3. The Elephant is in the Room, this quest uses a rule change designed to make the game more fun and engaging at low levels by eliminating feat tax.
  4. No teleportation stronger than dimension door can be used normally. Point to point teleportation may exist somewhere in the world, but it is likely to be limited difficult to access and dangerous, do not build your character hoping to get it
  5. The planes are not right next door. There is no easy access to any plane, no plane shift spell or similar. The closest are the transitive shadow/ethereal/fey which all normally mirror the material and which therefore cannot be used to fast travel, though they might eventually be used to bypass material impediments.
  6. Death and life after it: While spells that revive the very newly dead (a matter of rounds) are available as resuscitation actually bringing back the spirit of the well and proper dead is either impossible or the subject of an epic quest. Death is not a revolving door. The undead do exist and how they factor into this is best revealed in the quest
  7. Wealth by Level does not exist, your access to magic may be limited by circumstance and the relative scarcity of such works, but you will not be limited in amount of wealth you will be able to acquire and make use of by arbitrary limits
  8. Handle Animal will work on anything with animal level intelligence (INT 1-2) as well as animal behavior. This mostly applies to magical beasts, though it might apply to plant creatures and others if you know more about them specifically either through your own skills or by having it explained by an expert.


Lore ​

War, Sin and the Late Crusades: That the war of princes was unjust and ungodly was a matter generally accepted by the 16th century. Yes the kings of Europe were anointed by God, but that did not make their every act God's will. Some of those same princes actually used that, the Plantagenets whom Roland served as a knight in Normandy actually boasted of being children of the Devil, it made them seem more fearsome, it made their enemies quail, it gave their threats a bit more weight to them. When someone claiming the Devil himself as kin said he was going to burn your fields and poison your wells you would perhaps be more inclined to take them at their word. And yet in spite of the fact that such wars were seen as unjust pious knights still took part in them, why? Because that was just how the world worked, you sinned in war for gold, for land, for honors and for glory and then you sought absolution.

The crusades were different, they were not supposed to be sinful, but the manner in which one would be cleansed of sin, you were not fighting your coreligionists, but the heathen, who could be converted yes, but they could also be killed without worry about the rightness of the deed since the war was just right? Well this comes to a screeching halt when you get to something like the Fifth Crusade, when rather than obtaining absolution in victory or in death the people in charge settle. Does that mean that this was no different from all those other wars then? Does that mean you have been sinning all along? Or does that mean that the godly war has been stopped by the will of these princes? Either way what is the state of your soul from accepting not just defeat but settlement?

Currency: Not all that glitters is Gold in the world of Age of Ice and Blood, but gold is a part of it. As you travel and discover new societies you will discover all manner of trade systems, form the simple barter based economies of hunter gatherers to the nomads driving vast herds across the cold steppe to the complex agrarian empires which boast vast and complex traditions with regards to the proper acquisition and wealth of wealth. Gold in this sense is and abstraction, it is simply how much wealth you have in a form that is not inherently bound up in the vagaries of trade and which is in no danger of being degraded in a long journey.

A herd of horses will be marked down as a herd of horses because they can still get sick or get hungry on the journey and thus die. A pile of precious metals on the other hand does not suffer that limitation and neither does a pile of polished gems or amber. If the gems are particularly large or impressive or the amber notable for some extraordinary fossil in trapped within then they will be noted. Otherwise they are 'Gold'. Local forms of currency will be mentioned in the narrative and you can try to interact with them as such if you wish, but for most purposes they will be abstracted for ease of play. There is a one to one equivalency with the standard Pathfinder gp for ease of use, though how that interacts with enchanting shall be revealed if and when you have access to an enchanter.

And before it's all said and done, Marcella develops an addiction to all of the pirate blood spilled on her deck.

Marcella: "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh nomnomnom wgah'nagl fhtagn".

Loose Translation: "If drinking pirate blood is wrong, I don't want to be right."

Not sure if any further edits were made since myrix made this one. The tab on my PC is a day or two old if there were more recent edits.
 
On the subject of pirates - us getting ambushed by 5 ships, slaughtering two ships worth of pirates, killing their leader and a favored beast of the war god, and whatever damage Zaia and our archers were able to inflict to convince that third ship to run away rather than making an attempt at us - the news of that is going to spread through the Anwari islands at the speed of rumor, meaning everyone who matters will know about it before we return in Spring.

Our Fame/Infamy should get a nice bump from that.

We might get a bump in Orinilu, too, once the Pride's sailors start spreading the news and the noteworthy folks among House Koire get word of their ship's journey.

The legend of the ship actually would make Marcella more suitable to paraphrasing the Wellerman sea shanty song because the legend of the Marcella is being made right now that just as the crew sing to it in maybe one of those musical moments in a Disney movie or muppets cabin fever scene the Marcella likes it and starts singing along.

Can't believe I just thought about it, but we should be getting a decent amount of loot from this encounter. Roland noted just how well armed and armored Isele's crew were. Coats of bronze armor, good quality shields, lots of bows, etc. Some of that will have been lost overboard, but most of it should still be on the deck of Isele's ship or Marcella's.

That'll help offset the more than 700 gold in potions, poisons, and Alchemical items we've expended so far, not including what might be needed to save the Pride's injured crew members.

And we can't forget about the two ships that weren't able to flee. With his crew reduced to 52 (can't remember how many were needed for safe operation), I don't know if Antonio will be willing to risk assigning any of them to one of the pirate ships, and there is no telling how bad the casualties in the Pride were (I hope Afke survived!) It would be a real boon to be able to bring both of them to Orinilu with us, though.

And Wanderer can use Isele's Olweje-blessed maul.

Edit: A parallel to like Tender had her Olweje-blessed two-handed sword. Looks like it's the latest fashion for Knikut to fight with looted Olweje-blessed weapons!

We can probably tie them and carry them that way.

He would be cutting things very fine to take both ships as each of them needs at least 15 men for each of them. Basically every ship in the fleet would be running at a couple of sailors from minimum crew. Just one longship would be a lot safer, but you would also miss out on close to 1000 gold when you get to Orinilu
