Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 17

No day job… unless can take 10 [+10] for perform -sing ? I do not have guide in front of me if that is a valid day job

Any of the Craft, Profession, or Perform skills are valid for DayJob checks.

Some boons provide alternate skills as well

Day Job: Sleight of Hand via Thieves' Guild boon: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39

That's 100gp

This mission pushes my gnome to 11th level.

I'm leaning heavily toward another level of Unchained Rogue for the extra Sneak d6.

Since it seems like everything else is well in hand, 29 Steps flies about the battlefield, hoping to collect his missing warfan.

He whispers a prayer as he searches.

"Valiant Phoenix - your sacrifice shall restore this land, that the rifts within this tapestry might be rewoven. Soon enough, you shall be reborn, as that is your cycle of existence."

29 Steps flies down toward the pale-skinned woman, pulling his wand of CLW as he moves. Once within reach, he tries triggering it for the healing magics it contains. Someone else will need to put out the flames.

UMD DC20: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 5

And a second try as well.

UMD DC20: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 4

He spends the full round putting out the flames.

reflex reroll with haste & evasion DC 24: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 1 = 36

putting out the fire DC20 reflex: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 17 + 1 = 37

Apologies for going silent yesterday - was in the air for most of it, heading home from a con. Great bit of botting on the part of our GM, though.

Evasion Reflex DC24: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

The flaming fury is so glorious that 29 Steps fails to slip past its abrupt effects. The boosts from his allies are all that let him survive the onslaught.
Thank you, Temp HP

29 Steps holds til at least 2 allies are adjacent, to make best use of his gang up ability.

Let's go with Hampered - reduce Move by half.

29 Steps bobs & weaves while moving forward, toward the Phoenix.

Acrobatics to avoid the AoO vs CMD: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

And the ensuing AoO knocks the dragon fan from his hands.

thematically, I'm presuming it would be the dragon fan, leaving the phoenix fan in play

Once he's within reach, the fan flashes out, reluctantly hoping to score a hit.

Menacing fan sneak strike: 1d20 + 18 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 4 = 34
slash+sneak: 1d3 + 8 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 8 + (6, 5, 5, 4) = 31

LN should be his correct alignment. I guess that I finger-slipped on the L part of LN.

29 Steps takes to the air, flying toward the magnificent Phoenix.
He knows that he can't reach it & attack, but rises to the same elevation as the flaming bird & whispers the following at it <in Ignan>.

A whisper is really the best he can manage.

"Mighty Phoenix, we seek to mend the Tapestry - no need for us to fight."

Diplomacy check, though it's unlikely to work, at least it'll get an idea of our intent.: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Honestly, 29 Steps is most interested in learning what languages it knows, being a consummate linguist himself.

I'm fine with 29 Steps facing the True Phoenix.

Even with a perfect set of circumstances, 29 Steps can't hit the needed DC to glean any info, so he spends his extra time using that CLW wand on Lunette before swapping back to his fans.

UMD DC 20: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 heal: 1d8 ⇒ 1
UMD DC 20: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 heal: 1d8 ⇒ 2

29 Steps realizes that his contribution to this fight won't be made on the front lines. He flies (with haste) back to the crew, drawing a Cure wand along the way. He hopes he recalls the right way to trigger it.

UMD DC20 to trigger a wand of CLW: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 7

The skeletons are flying at 30 feet above the level you're on (that's the 40' elevation in their tag lines), do you have some means of reaching them?

That's on me for only referring to the map without any elevation indicators. For some reason, I had it in my head that the top of the pyramid was the 40ft elevation point & the Red had come down to ground.

Reading back thru the turn, it also appears that El Yama retaliated against Red, with no elevation indicator, though it makes sense that he probably flew up to engage.

Sadly, that rolls 29 Steps back to his hiding place, where he pulls his personal Flying potion & drinks it instead.

Turn done.

29 Steps nods appreciatively at the Tale of the 13 Warriors, darting from cover into a flank on the Red skeleton.

He slashes out with his menacing fan against the bony opponent.

fan strick with menacing sneak and controlled song factored into the total, as well as fighting defensively as well: 1d20 + 16 + 4 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 4 + 2 - 3 = 20
bolstered fan and sneak attack as slash damage: 1d3 + 6 + 2 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 + (1, 1, 4, 4) = 20

I haven't used my shirt reroll yet, so here goes

fan strick with menacing sneak and controlled song factored into the total, as well as fighting defensively as well, along with a shirt boost: 1d20 + 16 + 4 + 2 - 3 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 4 + 2 - 3 + 5 = 42

The skeleton is disoriented, taking -2 to its attacks (-4 if attacking 29 Steps).

AC is bolstered by +8 above normal. +3 Nat Armor (Cont. Song), +2 for boosted Dex, and +3 dodge (Fighting Defensively) for a total of 37

A posting we will go 8

A posting we will go 3

The look of confusion fades & 29 Steps nods to Saya before dashing off to the nearby ruins, hoping to use the walls as both cover & a means to engage his stealth tactics.

fast stealth: 1d20 + 23 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 23 - 5 = 30

Just so we're in the know

01-25 Acts normally
26-50 Does nothing but babble incoherently
51-75 Deals 1d8 points of damage + Str modifier to self with item in hand
76-100 Attacks nearest creature (for this purpose, a familiar counts as part of the subject’s self)

29 Steps WIll Save DC 19: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Hurrying to take advantage of a flank with Victoria, 29 Step scoots into a flank on the green-hued skeeter, swat-slashing at it with his fan.

Flanked fan attack vs Green: 1d20 + 16 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 4 + 1 = 28
slash and sneak damage: 1d3 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (6, 1, 6, 1) = 23

Presuming that hits, it becomes Disoriented. taking -2 to its attack (-4 to attacks against 29 Steps).

Getting my Know-Local check out of the way before I crash for the evening

Just so it isn't buried behind a spoiler - I rolled a 1 for our Piloting Init, womp womp. Is everyone okay if I use one of the rerolls we earned from Mustering on that?

Go for it.

29 Steps recasts his Mage Armor from his wand.
UMD DC21: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Flawless he mouths as the want triggers.

I can set it - it's just such an infrequent call that I didn't post it.

CMB +6 (the bane of being small)
CMD 28 (31 when Figting Defensively)

Hasted Fly speed (90ft) lets the mini-monk fly across the chasm & around a pillar before sweeping in to attack the roper with the menacing fan while 5ft above the ground.

Concealment (low looks good): 1d100 ⇒ 28

fighting defensively (-3 attk +3 touch AC) vs flanked roper due to gang-up: 1d20 + 16 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 4 - 3 = 18
slashing fan damage plus Sneak : 1d3 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (6, 2, 2, 5) = 23

Using my t-shirt here for a reroll +5 for 5-stars

fighting defensively (-3 attk +3 touch AC) vs flanked roper due to gang-up: 1d20 + 16 + 4 - 3 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 16 + 4 - 3 + 5 = 27

From his hiding spot, the gnearly invisible gnome directs the orbs into the chasm, watching for a reaction.

When I've used that map, the freestanding black spots get treated as floor-to-ceiling columns. That zone in the middle alternates as needed, as either another wall dividing the two main spaces or a charm (as is being used here).

29 Steps nods toward the chasm, then conjures a quartet of softly glowing, floating spheres (green, blue, purple, pink), directing them away from himself but toward the chasm. It's the gnomish Dancing Lights ability.

He'll then quaff a flying potion, then slip into the shadows, heading toward the edge of the chasm, all while directing the light over the chasm about 40 ft from his scout position. (He's hovering just above the cavern floor, but not touching it.)

Stealth to skulk thru the shadows, a +1 Nivi Rhombodazzle bonus (from a boon): 1d20 + 23 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 23 + 1 + 2 = 42, then peering into the chasm with his low-light vision as the orbs descend into the depths.
Perceiving the chasm: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 2 = 32

29 Steps is very Perceptive (Will roll as Primary), a decent Acrobat (auto assists), & untrained or mediocre in the other 2.

Perception to locate stable handholds DC27: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 2 = 29

29 Step agrees with focusing on the Pagoda next.

Spell-wise, just before travelling along the threads to Round Mountain, he'll cycle a Mage Armor off of his wand & offer up his Pearl of Power to Lunnette again for a Barkskin (CL 6).

29 Steps step adjacent to Eskar, into a position where he can use his Gang Up ability, striking once with his menacing fan vs the final, blue-tinged creature.

warfan vs Blue from a pseudo-flank: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 16 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 26
slashing damage with sneak: 1d3 + 6 + 1 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 + (2, 6, 3, 5) = 26

A gnimble gnome slips thru the nagaji's legs, tumbling to avoid AoOs from the black-tongue brethren, to dance around into a flank on the Black-limned undead.

Tumble past Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23

Once in place, he slashes with his Menacing fan

menacing fan attack vs Black's FF AC plus Fighting Cbt Expertise: 1d20 + 16 + 4 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 4 + 1 - 3 = 19
warfan slash plus Sneak damage: 1d3 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (4, 3, 3, 6) = 23

And just flat out misses.

Omni tries to find secret pathways to their goal

perception check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

The dusk-skinned gnome steps back 5 ft into the shrubbery, drawing his bladed fans as he tries to hide.

stealth to hide: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (17) + 23 = 40

I did roll this, but over in the Discussion section

He readies a strike if any foe that enters the square to his NE or SE.
He has 6 AoOs as well, and will use them as triggered.

I'll hold off rolling the attacks until they're triggered.

29 Steps reapplies Mage Armor from his wand as the hour passes.

Since 29 Steps has ties to the Temple, he's willing to defend against the impending undead.

29 Steps can't hope to hit that lofty Diplomacy DC (with a mere +12), but he can most assuredly auto-assist someone else's attempt.

29 Steps moves into the crowd, snapping his fans open & closed such that it seems like the dragon chases the phoenix, which then turns about to reverse the chase around the chapel.

Bluff using his fans DC 36: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23

I've got a PF T-shirt set aside for situations like this...

Bluff dc36: 1d20 + 22 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 22 + 5 = 46

I think that the 2 assists are enough to finish this challenge

Acrobatics DC33 to Practice Proper Technique: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22

Feel free to push this attempt back if you want to wait for the whole team to have a turn before making another attempt.

Perception to Find a Holy Text: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21

at least it's an assist

29 Steps would have renewed his 1-hour duration Mage Armor (from his wand)

He'll try for Quick, Shut the Lids!

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

More scribbling on his slate.
He offers it to Victoria once he's completed it.

"Like with life & death, the being that is you is still you, just different. This likely falls somewhere in between."

29 Steps listens to the aasimar's telling of Zhuang's troubles, offering a firm nod of assent at the request for walking his mindscape.

Mission 3 is where 29 Steps has prior experience, so that'd be his choice.
Presuming we don't head off to become hippo-wranglers first.

The gnome gninja gnods at the repair team's request, thinking that protecting the repair crew is the better option, at least until they get settled in to start their repairs.
