Adding and subtracting, looks like Pip took 11 hp of dam overall.

After brushing off his singed cowboy hat, Pip lights a cigarillo and strums a tune on Lucille:

"See me
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me ..."

Using Lucille's CLW ability to get a boost

IC down, rolling in meatspace: 1d8+9=12, so full up

Reflex: 1d20+9=26

Smacked around by the fire blast and several rapier swipes, Pip is then healed by Oso's mojo.

"Brandobaris' big toe that smarts!" He yells, casting a dirty look at Xever.

Pip hold ready an action and watch the wizzy to make sure he's giving up fer sure

Pip will just maintain the Inspire Greatness for another round

Perception: 1d20+13=25

"Hey that shadow is getting away!"

Points to shadow

Starts Inspire Greatness tune: +2 atk/dam/charm/fear

Looks over at his charmed companion

"Hey make sure no one smacks me OK?"

Urk, how'd the REMF manage to put himself on the pointy end of the spear?

Pip strums Lucille and looks at Grey face

Casting Charm Person

"Do you really wanna hurt me?
Do you really wanna make me cry?"

Sorry guys I'm trying to upload my maps, but Photobucket is suffering from a malware problem at the moment. I will update as soon as it lets me.. Put Pip at a6 for the action. Casting Dispel Magic on Greyface

Targeted Dispel Magic: 1d20+9=28

Pip follows the others, blending into the shadows seamlessly.

Stealth: 1d20+19=38

I'll make a map for yih Heathy today, since K is MIA

Pip belches and nods.

"Yeah a little action always settles the stomach after a good meal!"

he also hates his own anal sphincter, apparently.

Actually I think he hates his party members as well as he will most likely be quite fragrant later :P

Pip hastily gulps down the light beer that Oso provides. He fans his tongue and gasps out between gulps:

"Well, perhaps we should get a feel for the place and ask about a bit first, make sure Hamfist isn't riding a dragon or some such foolishness"

"Just cut my tongue off Oso!"

Pip busies himself with the Vudran delicacies

"O sweet Yondalla's teats that stuff is HOT! I need something to drink!"

"Perhaps a few could scout and a few could check the smokey place out."

A serving girl brings out massive steins of dwarven beer, dark like rye and fullbodied like Oso's women.

"Thankeesai noble Rumblegut! May the ore run pure and the beer brew frothy through all of your long life!"

Pip raises the stein of dwarvish stout

"Here's to new adventures!"

"Rumblegut's.....down th' way! They'll cook em for ye!"

"Then to Rumbleguts I go!"

Pip wanders down the street whistling

"A fish all hot and flaky
Broiled, fried or bakey
Will fill a hobbits tummy
For fish is always yummy!"

" Good girl that, twelve kids huh, wonder if she has a man about the place?"

Pip laughs

"I would think she does, unless she splits like a gelatinous cube!"

Pip glances at the generous backside of Annie departing.

"Oso, dear chap, you should ask. I'd love to have you courting her, think of the fish!"

Pip hoists the two fat tunnys Annie gave to him.

"Uh, any of you mind if I cook these real quick? I'm kinda hungry."

I kin tell you're new about here.....OR I'D KNOW O' YE!"

Pip finishes his impromptu advertisement jingle and makes a sweeping bow

"Indeed I am a newcomer to your fine city Lady Annie! Just a wandering minstrel, blessed by a thwack of Bandobaris' walking stick at my birth, and favored by the Court of Stars in my prime!"

He accepts the two fish.

"Now I'll need me an oven, breadcrumbs, some dill and lemon."

Pip looks at the bawdy fishwife in mock astonishment

"Twelve younguns? But you are just a maid fair lady! Here .."

Flips her a gold piece

"Give me your best fish, lovely lass, for elevensies approach, and I feel peckish!'

Strums Lucille, practicing the flamenco frills he learned from the eladrin last night:

Perform (String)1d20+24=41

"If I could have just one wish
I'd wish I'd wish
For a big fat fish!
A juicy morsel baked in coals
Some haddock or fillet of sole
For hobbits always want to eat
And eating fish is a sweet treat!"

Pip smirks at his dirty cousin's remarks. He addresses the angry gnome:

"I wouldn't push your luck there dwarf wannabe," He drawls to the gnome with height issues. "Yon 'circus geek' has taken down demon princes in his day. If you like your silly hammer on the outside I suggest you watch your tongue."

"How about: What were you doing when you were killed?"

Pip's belly groans in tandem with Osos's

"It's about second breakfast time, and I've yet to have my first!"
He moans in chorus with the rumbling stomaches.

"What a night! What the heck was in that Sasserine Sling I had?"

It comes easier this time. The girl in the starry dress swoons.

Pip smiles at Lady Silvermane and begins composing a song to the complex chords

"Pearl of Sasserine,
Come be by my side.
Jewel of the Hepmons,
Join me for a ride.

I promise excitement,
when we dance together.
Days of adventure,
And long nights of pleasure .."

"Repetition. Repetition. Practice makes perfect. But with Astrid of the Firre Eladrin for a tutor, you'll make it."
It's a musical knighthood ceremony, the drums beat raucously, the dancers swirl, and pairs start sneaking off into the gardens....

Pip bows while keeping an eye on Astrid's nimble fingers

"I shall endeavor to keep up, Lady Astrid. I am sure I will learn it eventually!"

Perform: 1d20+24=34

Pip's fingers start to get the flamenco rhythym.

Pip strides forward

"I am lady."

"Good....the Court of Stars hears thy music, feels thy energy across the aether, and would see you in our service.

I have come to teach thee sublime and heavenly chords and flourishes. Follow along, good Pip."
The maiden's hair dances like fire as the ribald flamenco dances from her fingers.

Pip attempts to learn the new chords

Perform (String)1d20+24=28

He a few troubles, but manages to put up a decent showing

Pip strides forward

"I am lady."

"We're here to show thee to the House of the Whirling Fury."

Pip ends his ballad with a flourish.

"Well, that is a place I'd be interested in attending. Can my friends come too?"

A half hour later, three elves armed to the teeth and an elven mage come in; they go towards the front to listen to Pip. They look pretty dour, but seem to lighten up when Pip's music slides into their neurons.

Pip notes the three and tries to get a sense of them

I have Detect Evil at will as a PrC class feature, but I don't know if it is 'activated' since we didn't do the Church of Whirling Fury bit yet.

Pip entertains the crowd with a quick rendition of The Ballad of Cap'm Flamebritches:

Perform (String): 1d20+24=34

"Oh there once was a terror of the Seven Seas
With his head on fire but no c0ck to squeeze
Since the cabin boy shoved glass up his bum
That circumcised the pirate right to his tum!

Don't shed a tear for the limp pirate Flamey!

Oh the flaming pirate animated many bones
'Cept the one poor bone that he called his own
Though he gnashed and wailed and cast spells dire
His little trouser bone just wouldn't catch on fire!

Don't shed a tear for the limp pirate Flamey!

"Though he screamed and cried like a little git
His undead and flames didn't help him a bit
As the Regulators cut him down right quick
The pirate died as he lived: with a flaccid d1ck!"

Don't shed a tear for the limp pirate Flamey!

"Well the tale of Cap'm Flamebritches is now all done
Now that the Regulators have had their fun
And the only thing folks will remember of him
Is the song I'll sing of his flaccid limb!"

Told that beeoytch I'd sully his name forever ;)

Pip, seeing that Elgan is double teamed, figures he could use a bit of a goose. He ups the tempo of The Ballad of Oso the Living Sword.

Casting Haste

Pip nods

"You want his head for your trophy wall solo, be my guest Oso, I'll just be back here making a ballad 'bout it."

Pip returns to Lucille

"Man of steel and man of fire
Pirates' dread and wenches' desire
Oso of the southern lands
Forged and carried by Death's hand.."

Ack! IC down, little nephews sleeping in room with my dice! Can someone roll for me please? Full attack on Nearest goon, Bite 1d20+10; Dmg; 1d8+8, TWO claws/paws at +6, Dmg; 1d6+8 each, I'll take whatever you roll, THX!

IC still down, so home rolls: 1d20+10=26 Dam: 1d8+8=11; 1d20+6(X2)= 24/17. 1d6+8 (X2)= 15/9. That's all, right?

2d10=16

So Oso gets 16 + [con modx2]

Pip does a Flamenco riff on Lucille as he sings:

"Drawing steel is easy
When you have a shiny blade
But using it's another thing
When you face a warrior made.."

Pip sees the drawn steel, and turns his attention to his pal Oso. He readies to assist should things go sour. He ups the tempo of his tunage a bit, hoping to give Oso a little bump

Time to try an Inspire Greatness, my shiny new ability.

Rules Spoiler:

Oso gets 2d10+Con mods hps, +2 hit, +1 fort save, right?

Allrighty.....

Pip's up on stage, jammin. In between sets, one of the bartenders comes up to him; says the owner's had to hike the door and the beer coz of him; and any time he wants to play he'll give Pip 10% of the door that night.
He wants to hire the guitarist too; the guitarist says he'll think about it.

Pip tells the owner he'll think about it too, but that he has an itchy foot and doesn't like long term commitments.

"I'd play when in town no problem, my fine fellow."

He does a little conversating with the Sea Princes bard dude

"That salsa has a nice rhythm to it. On the chorus do you ..(blah blah musical technology talk)"

Pip also keeps an ear our for any juicy gossip

Gather Info: 1d20+7=25

The guitarist throws a 33 perform, and he starts following Pip's hobbit riffings, trying to dig them and throw Sea Princish flourish onto the lively hobniz rhythm.

Pip smiles at the newcomer and weaves Lucille's notes into his skillfully. He picks up a new rhythm and smiles.

"This is what we call the Furry Foot Stomp where I come from." Pip says, launching into an old hobniz tune:

"Ah caught you smiling at me,
That's the way it should be,
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.

Ah all the good times we had,
I sang love songs so glad
Always smiling, never sad, so fine.

As we walk down a country lane,
I'll be singing a song,
Hear me calling your name.
Hear the whisper in the trees,
Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me.

Well if the sunshines so bright,
Or on our way it's darkest night
The road we choose is always right, so fine.

Ah can your love be so strong
When so many loves go wrong
Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on?"

Apologies to Robert and Jimmy :P

Pip grabs a mango and rum and ambles over to the band

"Mind if I sit in for a few?"

Assuming yes

Pip does a little instrumental work with Lucille to accompany the group

Perform: 1d20+20=32

IC down, so manual I gotta 16 on the 5d6 keep top three you asked for

Pip looks over the lovely armor shedder.

"Ahh, so cute, but so tall .."

Pip checks to see what rum drinks they got here. He also scopes out the musical talent.

I am assuming there is some in the background, chanting: 'All right on the main stage from Hepmonaland that was Jasssssmine. Be sure to tip the dancers they're working hard for you fellahs ..

Pip likes living large so he'll look into high end accomidations

"Ah! The local burlesque! I would love to see the local talent, if anyone's game. I wonder if they have drink and drown rules here."

Oh, and I have Pip's updates written down, I just gotta type them in. Not much changed with new PrC except I can Detect Evil at will. Kinda pressed for time tonight, hopefully update more in morning...

there we go.

Funkay ..

Pip gives the damasked woman his most courtly bow

Diplomacy: 1d20+8=25

"Indeed this day has been made singular in my memory! For 'tis the first time mine eyes have seen a true celestial on Oerth."

Trying to figure out anything he knows, Pip racks his mind for clues about the mystery woman

K (hist)1d20+7=16, k (local) 1d20+5=17, K (Arcana) 1d20+12=20,Perform (Stringed inst.) 1d20+20=39 boo-YAH!

Divinely inspired, Pip begins to strum his guitar, the vibrating strings singing in the humid air like an angelic chorus

Fate's sails have blown me to your side
And wrecked me on your smile
I am adrift in your cool eyes
Your servant for the while

Pip stays close to Oso, keeping an eye out for any hot halfling lasses

Is it possible to boost the armor I have now? Maybe to a +2?

Will get Pip leveled up, taking that PrC level with the feat for Court of Stars allegiance, if you want to have me meet up with a rep from the eladrin, that's cool, or just handwaive over that part. I am experiencing some computer difficulties, so I may be hit or miss this weekend

Pip takes in the sultry city skyline and the verdant emerald jungle surrounding it

"Oso, old buddy, this looks like a place just made for adventure."

Pip strums Lucille

"Oh I've seen girls from Tenh
And I've seen girls from Greyhawk
I've been with nut-brown bints
And ones white as chalk
I've had redheads and blondes and brunettes sweet as wine
But I never saw women
like the ones from Sasserine."

Pip tries hitting Gittik's foe with a bit of white lightning.

5d6=14

Don't forget we still have those +2 atk/dam/charm/fear effects up folks

Pip unloads the lightning gun at the closest coral-bone dude

5d6=22

Kick the tires and light the fires!

As a gesture of halfling solidarity, I will shoot at Gittik's

Pip attempts to fire the odd arcane weapon at Gittik's foe

Use Magical Device right?

UMD: 1d20+8=21

5d6=10

Is there a lamia I have a straight shot at with the lightning gun?

Guh, just sat down to 'puter after eight hours at work, then 4 hrs home chores (mostly grass-involved). I'm feeling loopy. Good thing that's normal...

Fort Save: 1d20+4=20

After feeling the wave of vertigo wash over him, Pip picks up the pace on Lucille

Casting Haste

"Hack hack hack hack,
On the lamia's face!
Smash smash smash smash
As they die in place!
Let's kick their asses
'Til there is no trace!
While we do the Hack Polka!"

Pip will stick by his buddy Oso

Gonna use the Mage Armor function of Lucille

Pip strums Lucille and a blue shimmer forms about him then fades down to invisibility

Pip will start up his Inspire Courage (don't forget them +2s folks!)

Sensing danger a-comin' Pip starts to strum Lucille

"Riese and Stig and Beldan
On a routine expedition
Met the lamest aspect ever known
While cleaning off their weapons
After they cut off his head
They saw unseen guys coming up from down below
To the land of their death death death death"

Pip takes a big swig of the wine Oso hands about

*wheeze*

"Smooth"

He wipes his mouth and strums Lucille

"Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin'
Into the future..."

Stops

"I think Lord Steven of the Mills did that one."

Strums again

"It's just a jump to the left..
And then a step to the riiiight!
Put your hands on your hips ...
And bring your knees in tiiiight!
And it's the pelvic thruuust,
That really drives them insaaaaane!
Let's do the Time Warp again!"

Stops playing

*hic!*

"What's in that wine Oso?"

Pip idly strums Lucille

"Ol' Grazz't he was a demon king
With a crown of goaty horns
And a trifurcated ding-a-ling

Although he was quick and deadly and mean
With a head full of deadly spells
He chanced upon the Regulators
Now he's back in his Abyssal hell."

hits a sour note

"Hmm ... needs some work .."
