Pathfinder Day 8: Run through the Eryiu Forest

After learning the whereabouts of the curse affecting Kaliara, the party ventured east to the Temple of the Whispering Spider. They had to pass through the Eryiu Forest.

 Erynor created antitoxins and vermin repellent to help with the spiders and other vermin they would encounter. At the entrance to the forest they met an old forest spirit name Fukujin, a tiny old man with a branch growing out of his head. He asked for a donation to the two kami statues he protected, the shikigami who in turn protected the forest from evil spirits. They group paid 60 gold to the pair for good luck.

They encountered a tiger that didn't attack them. After crossing a river, a group of treacherous bandits assaulted Varis and took him down unsummoning Jergling. When they had recovered from the attack, a Forest Drake descended upon them drawn in by their repellent.

Deeper in the forest they met a group of Vanara, monkey people sworn to seal the Temple of the Whispering Spider. Not wanting to fight against good aligned creatures, the party decided to run through. Erynor threw flash powder to try to blind the defenders. Kech archers fired at them from the treetops.

Inside the temple, Rook triggered an acid arrow trap but managed to dodge it. They fought a shadow creature called a Shae, a female made of darkness and cold. Jergling and Rook managed to flank her and pierce through her shadowy protection.





Finally, the party encountered a Yuki-Onna, a snow maiden. Ignorant of the legends of such a creature, Rook entered her snowstorm to try to converse with her. The spirit managed to take down Rook and Erynor before the alchemist's explosive bomb and Varis' attacks defeated her.

Pathfinder, Day 7: The Dragon Temple

The party encountered a dilapidated shack in the middle of the woods. They attacked a pair of poachers who had just hauled in a treasure chest. After defeating the poachers, Erynor tried to open the chest but it turned out to be a mimic.

They followed the path further south and found the Dragon Temple of Quain, where many aspirants and other travelers go to participate in battle training and martial arts. After having a sparring match with a few warriors, the party was admitted stay and allowed quarters for as long as they required.

Pathfinder, Day 6: Plains of Tian Xia

Kamadan

Leaving the cave, the party encountered the outside space between Goka and Quain.

Axe Beak

One field they dealt with a cockatrice, finishing it off with a quick hail of ranged attacks. Large birds attracted Rook N. Spiegels’ attention, causing him to desire one as a mount. He managed to rope one of the beasts but as he tied it to a tree, a group of Tengu ninja assaulted him. A battle ensued dealing with a burnt axe beak because of Erynor Blightfeldand dead ninjas.

Kaliara transformed when divine light illuminated her. She became a younger version, revealing herself as a Kitsune.

A Kamadan, jaguar snake abomination struck when the party tried to avoid a rhinoceros. Finally, after refusing to pay a group of hobgoblins on the street, after Rook slew one, Kaliara protected Varis, who tried to daze the goblinoids, and Erynor. Jergling managed to hold off a group of the highway bandits, while Rook fell to a disabled state.

River Drake

The party finished its escape through the caves.

After catching a few hours of sleep, Rook awoke to find Kaliara missing. They found her bathing in moonlight and cave water, transformed into her true Kitsune form, though only Rook saw the truth. As punishment for lying to him,Erynor Blightfeld took away the vial he entrusted to the oracle. They also found a squid-like tentamort guarding a treasure in a blocked off portion of the cave.

As they crossed a bridge, a river drake appeared. Fearing the drake, Kaliara pushed Varis off the bridge but later jumped in to save him.

While Rook N. Spiegels and Jergling investigated the water, a Ceratioidi, a fish man, appeared to attack them for stealing his treasure. On land, three giant spider solifugid attacked the other party members.
