Pathfinder 1E [LPF] Perception is Reality

[Elvin]"HUH, there is nothing ordinary about him. Nor the big one either" He obviously did not realize she meant Maui. "I hate to say it, but I see nothing odd" He tilts his head this way and that in a rather comical fashion. Alas with sigh he shrugs and leans back to translate what has been said thus far.

Looking around he realizes everyone gets it - but him. "Uh, guys," Then he corrects himself to common

[common] "Uh guys, what do you see?"

Barlo Hawkins, Human Bard

Barlo got the hint from Maui the tiger. “Aye, Maui, I understand. Let’s move closer to the border first… I only have some twine, but we should probably use rope instead.”

“Do either of you have some?”
he asked Ethane and Vincenzo.

Vincenzo once again peers into his pack, [common] "You mean like this?" [elvin]" I am pretty sure the plan is to tie this rope on someone, I am guessing I make a good candidate for this, and then the candidate walks forward until the threshold is crossed."
[common, followed by elvin to keep her in the loop] "So, I can go in, though I cannot see the threshold. Once again about ghouls, the mace I bought will not make a difference against these, right? My rapier should work just fine?"

Sometimes it's the things that are not happening that are the hardest to notice, even when they are right before your eyes. Johysis is not talking. Further, she is not moving any closer towards the town. The group, talking and starting to move towards the presumed border, finally notices her inaction. When she sees you looking at her, she finally explains, "I'm not getting any closer to that place. I was a fool to have come back to watch from the hill in the first place, but I got over-sentimental. If you don't have any further questions, I would like to take my leave."

Unaware of the dark elf's words, Ethane continues in the discussion of Barlo's idea. "Sounds good, but I have neither twine nor rope. Hopefully Vincenzo's will be enough." He continues to rummage through his pack afterwards, as if looking through will somehow change the situation. However, he comes up empty-handed after a double-check.

Barlo nodded as Vincenzo offered the rope. “Aye, that would be the plan. Though, Maui seems to be gung ho on being the volunteer. I am not sure if he can see the barrier either, but that is not so important as I will be able to tell when the volunteer crosses.”

“The main thing I am worried about when crossing the border is whether the enchantment with affect one’s mind. Maybe you are a better candidate to go first as you would be able to call back to us.”


He shrugged at the issue about maces and rapiers being effective against ghouls. “As far as we know, Vincenzo either weapon should be fine. But we have no way of knowing if these ghouls are special or different.”

Barlo turned a waved Farewell to Johysis. “Vincenzo, please tell her from me that I wish her peace and prosperity, may she be safe.”

Upon the translation of Barlo's farewell, the dark elf bows respectfully and makes her way back to cover almost immediately. In the distance, a few of the patrolling townsfolk apparently see her and point in the general direction she was last seen, but lose interest after a minute or two of being unable to re-establish contact.

Getting closer (but maintaining a safe distance) to the edge of the effect, Barlo is confronted with an unsettling truth. Although the 'line' seems definite from a distance, up close, it's not nearly so concrete. From his best estimates, the edge of the effect could be anywhere in a fifty foot band originating from Tritower itself.

Breaking the relative silence, Ethane offers, "I can go first if you need someone who can speak. However, we may want to go with someone rather tough, in case something bad happens. Maui does seem brave enough for the task, however."

Barlo slowed up as they approached the border. “Hmmm... The dividing area is harder to see now that we are closer.”

“Let's start the rope trick now and Vincenzo can range ahead of us by its length.”


He turned to the large tiger, “Mayhap he is a better choice, my friend. We need to be able to talk back and forth to know if he suffers an enchantment. And then we have your strength to pull him back if starts acting looney.”

Maui nodded and raised a paw, pressing it to Vincenzo's side after the rope was fastened. A small tingle of power washed over the swordsman at the contact, bolstering his will slightly against any adverse effects he might suffer when crossing over.
