Re: Serpent's Skull: City of Seven Spears [IC]
Fronaldo follows after the large Human, hoping the bridge will take their combined weight.

Re: Serpent's Skull: City of Seven Spears [IC]
The remains of the massive stone bridge has NO problems taking their weight. It isn't easy, though, as they have to constantly climb up and down and hop to other massive stone blocks fallen into the water. They cross the some 330' to get to the other side.
This central district was built upon several islands of rock that the architects of Saventh-Yhi carved into the shapes they needed, using tools and magic to form the stony outcroppings into an incredible island-fortress connected to the rest of the city via four long bridges. They chose this region to house the city’s central government, and built a spear infused with the virtue of honest pride to watch over the region and to keep its inhabitants honest and dedicated to the city’s health. Unfortunately, even these lengths failed to save Saventh-Yhi from the panic that gripped it as its days grew short.
What do Book and Fronaldo do once they get to the other side?Spoiler: OOCPlease refrain from "just around the riverbend" .... especially in a pbp ... unless you go back and get the others, or your fellow players will watch you do things for months in real-time while they are sidelined.09JUN2024: Completed reading Paizo's Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea NPC Codex (2013, Compton, Crenshaw, et. al.).

“Seems safe enough. Let’s go get the others.”
Fronaldo scampers back the way they came.

Re: Serpent's Skull: City of Seven Spears [IC]
Fronaldo and Book go back and collect the others. The bridge is sturdy enough - and decorated enough - for the full "exploration/ discovery treatment."
As they exit the bridge and step onto the island, a number of buildings face a long promenade leading to an open rotunda to the south. A row of stone pillars covered with dense writing runs down the center of the promenade. Several of these pillars appear to have been recently cleaned.09JUN2024: Completed reading Paizo's Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea NPC Codex (2013, Compton, Crenshaw, et. al.).

Fronaldo sidles up to Aron.
“Um..yeah. Ancient writings on pillars. Very interesting.”
“Say Aron, can I play around with the spear ring/artifact? I will be careful!”
Fronaldo hops from one foot to another with excitement.

Re: Serpent's Skull: City of Seven Spears [IC]
The group finishes checking out the large round building, but then it is time to return to camp, understanding there is more of the island to discover later.
That evening after the debrief, Book works solidly with Fronaldo on learning the Polyglot language, while also covering the basics of codebreaking. Xhanfaerd and Gelik each separately work on their art. Aron works on focusing mantras with Harrim, Sersheelda, and Amivor.

The party makes their way, with Fronaldo just a hair ahead of Book. As soon as Fronaldo comes around the covern of a great column that had fallen cross part of the bridge, he is surprised when two figures throw javelins at him, both javelins missing.

R2T8: Blue spins around and crits Veress for 15, gaining a surprise opening .... though the second attack is only cuts through fur. The serprentfolk does bite Veress, though, for 8 + 3 poison.
R2T7: Harrim moves quickly south, and seeing Aron's tiger taking the brunt of things, casts a spell at Blue. Blue's body seizes briefly as his skeleton contorts a little for 13, but Blue controls himself quickly.
R2T6: Red figures the tiger is a safer bet than the Mwangi half-elf, and steps away to pick up his spear. It was a safe bet as Veress gnaws on Red, but doesn't get through scales. Now with spear recovered he jabs defensively at the tiger.
R2T5: Aron concentrates on the bow she takes out, then steps for a clear shot.
R2T4: Veress is now focused on the one that hurt it, giving a terrifying roar. It snaps with its jaws, and its claws are deflected by the warrior's spear. It snaps again with jaws, but no attack finds purchase.
