"It is not about looks. You try to avoid being chopped in half with an axe while wearing heels and a dress. It is not easy." She retorts before taking a few steps back to allow the combatants to roll through.

"I actually would have liked to see that."

If KULIK cast prayer, would that be perceived as an aggressive act by the dragon?

Only if the dragon can use his At-Will Grease Ability on himself. :3 But do know, Marduk that if you want it, you have my Taldor Shirt re-roll at your disposal. I want to see this end, but legitimately.

Grapple, maybe?: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29

The dragon barely manages to let the Shoanti get a good grip on both sides of his jaws.

"Yeah, that is not happening again anytime soon. It was forced due to some wedding we had to crash and they would not let me in with my normal effects. The joke was really on them though, I still got all my weapons in anyways..."

Taurus wrenches on the beast's jaw and drags it to the ground.

Kulik strikes again: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39


Male Bear Burglar 1

29 was your cmd, wasn't it?

Yeah, but I read your summary as Taurus still having control. Subtract the five in any case.


Male Bear Burglar 1

I don't think anybody's maintained the grapple yet (hence the lack of pinning) so that +5 circumstance to maintain shouldn't be in play yet.

There's something funny I want to add after this scene, remind me: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31

The dragon rolls over, taking the horned man with him and successfully putting him closer to the ground!

With a roar of effort, Taurus pulls himself from under the dragon and scrambles atop the beast.

Who needs rage rounds?: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35


Male Bear Burglar 1

Note: If you want to ever use my shirt reroll, feel free to announce you're using it and roll the 1d20+21 yourself to save a smidgen of time.

Maybe if you shouted a few words at him really loud in Draconic: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38

The dragon whips himself around, almost gaining a few inches of elevation merely from his wing spasms.

Wait, I can use your shirt on the dragon? Like some kind of one-shot misfortune?

Taurus grabs for one of the flapping wings.

Would shoanti work?: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39


Male Bear Burglar 1

Indeed. GMs can bestow their one PFS-legal reroll shirt to their players at their discretion. You can use it on yourself OR the dragon, and now seems like an epic-enough time for it. I can find you the link, if you want it; it's in my favourites somewhere. Or you can hold onto it. *shrug*

Only if you're attempting to make a shoanti man unable to fly: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29

The dragon is tired, but not tired enough to flap his wings hard enough to force the warrior hold on for dear life.

Oh. In that case…

Misfortune! (Sort of): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22

Finally over?: 1d20 + 22 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 22 + 5 = 36

Taking advantage of the dragon’s fatigue, Taurus grabs both wings and rides it to the ground for the pin.


Male Bear Burglar 1

With its regular cmd of 34...

The dragon crashes to the ground from its two foot elevation beneath the shoanti warrior!

"That's a shame. I was even willing to buy you a dress... Oh well. I think they're finally done though." Ashur points towards the match.

Down 12 rage rounds… lol

Taurus laughs as he sucks in a breath.

”Well fought dragon. You gave me a challenge worthy of boasting about before my ancestors.”

The hulking shoanti cautiously dismounts his opponent.

”Now that I’ve bested you, I trust you will allow us passage now.”


Male Bear Burglar 1

The dragon breathes just as heavily. "Of course. It's been a long time since I've had a good wrestle, and never before was it with a two-legs. Wait here; I'll bring you what I have took from the dead ones here."

He flies off to the east, but returns with a bag, just in time for at least 2 and a half minutes to pass. The bag is embroidered with a 7-pointed rune, but is also stained heavily with blood.

Wrasslin' Prize Bag/IDing potions with perception:
three potions of Cure Moderate Wounds, a magic pearl, a scroll containing four castings of align weapon (one of each alignment); three scrolls of cure critical wounds; 12 uncut emeralds; and a magic rod.

Finally catching his breath when the dragon returns, Taurus accepts the dragon’s gift with a nod.

”If you’re ever in Absalom, look for me. I’ll see about finding space for another bout.”

After pulling his shield from the earth and strapping it to his arm again, the big shoanti gestures to his companions.

”Let’s go.”

He hesitates when he reaches the doors.

”The Venture Captain gave me this sigil I was supposed to draw when we reached the location”, he explained as he fished out some paint and the diagram.

”Erin, you seem good with your hands. Can you lend a hand? Magic is not my strength.”

Taurus has three potions of Crafter’s Fortune and artisan’s tools. That’ll give you +7. I need Craft: Painting checks. Can you give it a shot?

KULIK gives Erin the guidance of Desna.

The dragon turns his head and looks to Ashur from his current resting place at the ledge of the crevice. "I understand your mating preferences, so perhaps you can explain something for me; I've never understood the point of clothing. Seeing the womanfolk fight is truly invigorating, I get that, but all veils and garments would do is obscure the beauty. Why ever wear them?"

Relevant for Erin/all wrote:
Faction Notes: Grand Lodge faction PCs should paint a divination focus on several of the towers. Successfully painting a focus requires a successful DC XX Craft (painting) check or a successful DC XX+5 Knowledge (arcana) check. The paint provided is sufficient to paint three foci, and Grand Lodge faction PCs earn 1 Prestige Point for successfully painting at least two foci.

This check is aidable by all who want to roll, since everyone's a critic.

”I agree”, Taurus says with a snort as he scans the surface of the tower’s outside for the best locations for the symbol.

”Among my people both men and women wear as little as possible into battle. Unnecessary clothing might offer an opponent a handhold in battle – a dangerous advantage. It’s the same reason we keep our heads shorn.”

"I don't understand it either. But the womenfolk I know like wearing colorful clothes that either show off their figure or in certain cases are roomy enough to hide weapons. And I can appreciate both to a certain point."

"I suppose I can give it a shot. You did just wrestle a dragon to the ground and all. I will have you know though, I am not an artist, or knowledgeable in magic. What am I drawing?"
She says while grabbing hold of the diagram. She then steps up to the wall and begins to draw upon it.
Craft 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 (Tools, Guidance, Crafter's Fortune)

While working on the symbol she listens in on the conversation behind her and adds her two coppers.
"Being the only woman here, let me inform you all of something. Clothing is a tool, just like the weapons you all use. Some use it to show power and wealth, like the Blakros. Some use it to whore, like Zarta. Others use it to fight, like me. All garments have a different purpose, and these work well for me. A lose robe to conceal items, and that can be shed easily if someone tries to grab a hold of me. Tight leather and chain underneath that, which is quite hard to get a grip on. A good set of boots will take you far as well, but I should not have to explain those to you."
She begins lecturing while working with the brush.

So let me get this straight, Taurus is the looker with his studly 12 and Erin is the party thinker with her mighty 10. Brute squad indeed. =P

Taurus stares hard at the image as Erin works.

It looks right...

Yep, though we got wisdom in spades. Kulik has a mighty 15!

"My hair used to be a lot shorter too Taurus. However a certain situation made it necessary to make some changes."
She says while continuing to form the symbols.

Craft 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Craft 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
I do not know if I have to make 1 or 3 checks here. Rolling the other 2 now just in case.

I believe it was a best 2/3 deal.

"Longer hair suits you. You are not Shoanti."

Taurus takes a step back to admire Erin's work.

"I think that will work. Thank you Erin."

Sczarni

Female Human Rogue 10 (hp 82/82) | F +7 R +11 W +9 | AC 24 T 15 FF 24 CMD 27

"No, I am not. Erin responds, then takes a step back to admire her work. "Not too bad if I say so myself. Where do I sign up to start slinging fireballs and summoning elementals to blow things up for me?"


Male Bear Burglar 1

Indeed. The second one is salvageable if everyone wants to aid, but isn't needed for the mission. DC was 20.

Erin:
1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22As you move past the doors, you detect a trap for passing through them.

Sczarni

Female Human Rogue 10 (hp 82/82) | F +7 R +11 W +9 | AC 24 T 15 FF 24 CMD 27

Stepping near the door, Erin holds a hand up. "Hold up guys, there is something here." She then takes a closer look at the doors.

Disable Device 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35 (Trap)

Taurus impatiently grips his shield as he waits for Erin to disarm the trap.

"Damn these Lissalans..."

"Eh, could be worse. Imagine if we didn't have Erin here to deal with these traps."

Sczarni

Female Human Rogue 10 (hp 82/82) | F +7 R +11 W +9 | AC 24 T 15 FF 24 CMD 27

"All clear."
She states aloud to the group after examining the door.

Once he's given the all clear, Taurus nods and leads the way in.

Quote:
Unless otherwise noted, floors in the Thousandth Spire are made of smooth stone, and the walls are made of reinforced masonry. There are no sources of illumination within, except as noted in individual area descriptions.

Four entrances lead from the tower’s atrium, which rises fifteen feet before disappearing into a cloud of dense, chill mist. A mural depicting a plethora of extraplanar creatures wraps its way around the entire room, focusing on the space above the northern door, where a larger-than-life depiction of a bald man covered in tattooed runes appears to hold the otherworldly creatures in thrall. One of his hands rests upon a bronze panel from which two angels emerge.

Ashur:
You all feel as though something was trying to connect to your mind with some kind of magics, but you fought it off.

Erin:
You all feel as though something was trying to connect to your mind with some kind of magics, but you fought it off.

Kulik:
Monster Lore will apply for the Planes on IDing everything but the man, even though they are artistic renditions and not the actual creature.

Taurus:
You all feel as though something was trying to connect to your mind with some kind of magics, but you fought it off.

Erin peeks around Taurus as he makes his way through the door. Upon seeing no movement in the room besides the mists she makes her way up to the statue of the tattooed man.
"There is some sort of mind magic at work here and I do not like it."
She states aloud while thoroughly examining the room.
Perception 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18 (+3 Traps)


Male Bear Burglar 1

@Erin: You see no more traps. Also, what is your source of light? I didn't see an Ioun Torch in your equipment list, though the hallways to the east and west have everburning lanterns in them.

Then the previously-posted description is accurate and visible. Just let me know which way anyone is going.

KULIK tkaes a close look at the depictions of extraplanar creatures, starting on the mural's left and working around to the right.

Kn: planes: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 27


Male Bear Burglar 1

@Kulik:
You recognize the outsiders depicted in the mural as angels, daemons, devils, genies, and even creatures of the Dark Tapestry. More specifically, you can identify individual species, including cornugon devils, efreeti, a shaggy demodand, denizens of Leng, and an astradaemon, all clearly posed as if offering obeisance to the tattooed master.

The big shoanti shudders as he makes his way into the room.

"Can you make sense of any of this?"

Is the creature on the map, the statue of the tattooed man?

Yup. As a personal rule, I always put statues on the map, since folks usually like to know where they're at, since everybody's had "that one time the statue jumped me."

Back in LG, I had a friend that would pre-net all statues. Heh.

Since Erin seemed to have determined that the room was safe, Taurus starts to poke around.

Does anything on the statue or the mural have moving parts?


Male Bear Burglar 1

Nope. It's really nicely-made, though. I'm assuming you're piggybacking on Erin's light source.

Taurus has a wayfinder I just never added to his sheet, he'll tap it if he needs to move away from her.

Has Erin already moved down those dead-end hallways?
