Agate Stark's page

Thanks. It was interesting. Chronicle received.

Agate starts following recommendations on spirit pacification she's picked up studying the arcane and occult arts/sciences.

Arcana, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Agate is trained in medicine but does not have a healer's toolkit, which is required to stabilize or treat wounds. If the society has provided a toolkit, she can try to help those who are dying, but I don't think she can do anything without a kit.

Agate has a lesser ghost charge she can use against undead and probably haunts. So I would choose to attempt to prevent the undead rising.

Crafting, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 for earned income.

Agate draws her sukgung, gripping it in both hands as she slips past Clides for a clear shot at Rowen. She fires the weapon, hoping for a kill. "If she wants to play for keeps, so will we."

Sukgung: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Assuming that is a crit, the Fatal aim trait makes the damage 1d12 + an extra d12 that is not doubled.
Damage, P: 1d12 ⇒ 4 x2
Fatal Aim Extra Damage on Crit: 1d12 ⇒ 2

◆ Interact
◆ Stride
◆ Strike

Agate cries out as Rowen's knife cuts deep. She drinks the healing potion the Pathfinders provided and then moves back toward the group.

Minor Healing Potion: 1d8 ⇒ 1

The contents help a little, stopping the bleeding at least.

◆ Interact
◆ Drink potion
◆ Stride

Agate's weapon is not much use in taking people prisoner, so she runs at Rowen bare-handed, makes as if to punch her, but then tries to grab her.

Deception to feint, untrained, bonus: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Athletics to grapple, trained: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

We need to see what's making that noise at the back of the place.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Agate takes a deep breath and hustles into the room, moving next to Clanky. She activates her potency crystal on her sukgung and fires it at the one who leaped away from the battle. Clanky awaits orders.

◆ Stride
◆ Manipulate (activate the crystal)
◆ Strike

Sukgung, potency crystal: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Damage, S, Overdrive, Potency Crystal: 2d10 + 2 ⇒ (6, 2) + 2 = 10

Seeing others affected by the smell, Agate first sends Clanky in to fight, flanking for Zisiro. ◆ Command a minion.

Clanky moves to the right of the ghoul and ends opposite Zisiro. ◆ Stride, possible triggering a reactive strike.

Then he attacks with his claws while hissing. ◆ Strike with flanking and bonus from Peat.

claw, Peat: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9 Orange
Damage, S: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Clanky is immune to sickened as a construct.

Agate adjusts her weapon for extra power. ◆ Overdrive.
Crafting, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 DC 15
She succeeds and then fires at the nearest ghoul.
◆ Strike, bonus from Peat.
Sukgung, Peat: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9
Damage, S, overdrive: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Cold dice!

Agate gets out her tools and tries to get the door open as quietly as possible to avoid obvious breaking and entering alternatives.

Thievery, trained: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Medicine, trained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Agate knows a bit about medicine and tries to use that to help.

Arcana, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Agate struggles to understand the arcane energies.

Athletics, trained: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Agate is in decent shape and tries her best to keep pace.

Clanky tries to help by leading the way to help her see the best path forward.
Athletics, trained, aid: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

When she gets to the switches, she is in her element and starts fiddling with the controls to deactivate the devices.

Engineering Lore, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Agate advances carefully, with clanky at her side, carefully scanning for traps, advancing when a way clear can be seen, marking the path with chalk if anyone has some to spare. She uses her knowledge of engineering to try to anticipate likely mechanisms for traps.

Engineering Lore, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Engineering Lore, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Clanky assists by watching for markings, fine cracks, or outlines in solid seeming surfaces.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Agate will once again take out her repair kit and try to patch up her construct companion.

Crafting, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

That should repair his damage.

DC 17 save to end confusion due to damage taken from Zuza.
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

"Hey!" Agate calls out after being kicked by Zuza. Then she realizes she was thinking crazy thoughts of attacking her allies but those thoughts evaporated after the kick. "Thanks, I needed that."
I believe Zuza did just 1 nonlethal point of damage, not 2.

Clanky seems to be glitching, so Agate ignores him this round. After a moment, he moves and stands ready for instructions again.

Agate moves over next to Jared and tries to give him a slap up the back of his head to snap him out of his addled state.

Fist: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Fist Damage, B, nonlethal: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Snap out of it, man!"
Then she raises her shield.

◆ Stride
◆ Strike
◆ Raise Shield

Definitely want to spend a hero point to reroll the will save.

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 DC 17

Alas.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

"Treasure earned by treachery is ill-gotten and tainted."

Agate is capable of disarming traps.

"Nothing like using the enemies' magic against them," Agate notes.

Agate picks up one of the potency crystals and attaches it to her sukgung. Then she gets out her repair toolkit and tries to fix the damage to Clanky.
Repair action.

Crafting, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Spend a Hero Point.

Crafting, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

"Well, that fixes that. We've survived a lot. Let's hope we can put an end to this menace soon."

Agate says, "Cranky, sic!" Her construct advances and tries to scratch the nearest enemy Purple. Then she puts her weapon into overdrive and fires it at the same enemy.

Agate: ◆ Command Minion ◆ Overdrive ◆ Strike
Clanky: ◆ Stride ◆ Strike

Crafting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 DC 15 to activate overdrive
Sukgung: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage, P, Overdrive: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage, S: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Agate has no special abilities that grant a free recall knowledge. Most of the time spoilers are available for rolls right away. I forget about the spend action requirement when we are suddenly in encounter mode. I'm still new to 2nd Edition.

Sorry for missing some posting opportunities. I was at a local PFS/SFS convention.

Society, untrained: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

"They use their cloaks defensively, so they may not be as easy to hit as it appears."

Agate tries to recall how to deal with such a situation from what she has learned about the occult.

If the GM wants to roll in secret, her bonus is +7. Or use the roll below if it doesn't have to be in secret.

Occultism, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Arcana, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
"Uff Da!" Agate says in sympathy once she hears Zisiro's insight about the furniture. She makes a mental note to study the furniture to learn how to detect such crafting techniques, horrible as they are to contemplate, so she may recognize them in the future.

Agate activates the tools built into weapon and stands ready to assist should anyone need it. She is also willing to lend her thieves' tools to Jared.

Agate is +5 at both skills. Clanky is +6 at athletics.

Agate doesn't have a disguise kit, but that does not discourage any self-respecting inventor. She sets about trying to fashion some disguise materials from available items.

Crafting, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

"Clanky might also be disguised to look like the prisoner so that Peat can help with the rescue."

Note: Clanky has a small humanoid form with cat features rather than looking like a housecat as the token shows.

Occultism, trained, aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Agate helps Peat apply principles of Occultism to reach the goal.

I suggest we let Peat do an Arcana check, as they seem to have the highest bonus, unless Zisiro has something higher. Agate will assist once a roll is made.

Agate uses a combination of arcana knowledge, crafting experience, and occultism as she works with the others to devise the key.

Arcana, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Agate is also +7 for Crafting and Occultism.

Engineering Lore, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Agate brings to bear her familiarity with techniques of engineering hidden places to suss out the location of the entrance.

Agate takes a provision of lesser antidote.

To help thon move, Agate crafts some braces to help her keep her balance.

Crafting, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

The materials at hand are not sufficient for a proper brace, unfortunately.

Having some understanding of the arcane art of infusing mechanisms with magic, Agate works with getting the dolls to cooperate.

Arcana, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

She successfully sings a song with tones and words that resonate within them to make them feel safe.

I will be out of town for Thursday and Friday. I should have WiFi and will try to post each day, but 'bot me if needed.

If yellow ghoul is still up on Agate's next turn, she will order Clanky to keep attacking, reload, and strike with her sukgung (using 2 hands). Profile has prepared dicebot texts under spoilers.

Agate commands Clanky to attack, cranks her sukgung into overdrive, getting it into especially high tension and fires at the nearest Ghoul Red.
Clanky attacks the same ghoul with small mechanical claws.

◆ Command minion
◆ Overdrive activation
◆ Strike

Crafting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 DC 15 to activate overdrive
Critical Success, +4 damage for 1 minute
Sukgung: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage, S, Overdrive: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

◆ Stride
◆ Strike
claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage, S: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"Let's go, but we should be wary for traps or ambushes. Were those names targets for assassination or assassins they were recruiting? If one of them is a Pathfinder, we should know either way."

Agate fiddles with her sukgung and from various compartments withdraws her own tools for picking locks and disarming traps.

If Zuza is unsuccessful with her attempt, Agate will try.

Thievery, trained: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Agate's primed for combat, but open to any challenge, so she'll go with the majority who have a preference.

Agate tends to the weapon she has improved with various adjustments. "Eventually, I'll be able to hurt skeletons and other monsters that are best bashed with a bolt. Right now the bolts can pierce or cut flesh."

Her weapon cools down from the overdrive condition and after a minute, it is ready to go.

Agate sighs. "I thought I was targeting a ghoul." She drops her sukgung ◇ and draws her mace ◆, which she carries for just such situations. She advances toward the south ◆.

◆Crafting for Overdrive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 DC 15
Success: +2 to damage for 1 minute.
◆Sukgung, 2 hand grip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage, S, overdrive: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
◆Reload

Agate cranks her weapon into overdrive, grips the sukgung with both hands, sets the damage to slashing (causing bolts to spin as they move) and fires at the thing close to Zisiro. Then she reloads.

Agate listens to the conversation. She suspects the next step may be to relay the information back to Pathfinder leadership and see how they want to divide their resources to raiding the leadership pair and to rescuing the prisoners. She's eager to help with one or the other, or some third options she cannot foresee.

"We are not alone," she says to the Curator. "We'll get your intelligence to our leader and there will be plenty of agents to pursue this to a conclusion. I hope then you and your wife will be safe again. Do you need anything from us before we go?"

Agate does not know Nigel.

Agate lets the two who spoke up first handle the conversation for starters and glances around the shop. If there are items being held in hock, she looks for something with an interesting mechanism, but keeps her ears open to what is being said at the counter.

She instructs Clanky to keep an eye on the alleyway and to alert us if anyone approaches.

Agate watches Jared with interest, always curious about how things are put together. Some aspects seem familiar to her, as she too is sometimes able to integrate parts so that they do things that seem like magic to the uninitiated.

"Impressive work," she says as he drinks down the last drop and his and Ziziro's wounds vanish. "My master insisted that all of us rookie crafter apprentices get a basic medical training and he kept a medical kit in all the labs so we could treat ourselves when we had lab accidents. But without the items in the kit, I can't do much."

Agate makes sure her sukgung is in fine working order. Then, if no one has done so yet, she looks through the belongings of any of the fallen pirates and dockworker for anything that might be useful or any indications of their associations with the enemy. Also, if any of the defeated bravos is still alive, she'll try to get someone to transport him or her to an appropriate place for possible healing and questioning.

"That was exciting!" Agate observes. "I hope no one was badly injured."

Agate fires her sukgung at the last pirate ◆. If she does not take him down, she reloads ◆ and shoots again ◆.

Sukgung: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage, P, Overdrive crit: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Sukgung: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage, P, Overdrive crit: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Agate calmly reloads her Sukgung ◆, fires ◆ and reloads again ◆.

Sukgung: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Target = Blue
Damage, P, Critical Overload: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
