Ahiko's page

Not wanting to attract the Lady's attention just now, Faeryl stays quiet, watching the others carefully... Who really wants to be in charge? And is the person who WANTS it, really the one who should have it? She ponders these things as the others fidget or stand still and Xodar speaks up...She lofts a brow as the monk speaks.. Wasn't expecting him to be the one to open his mouth first, but I suppose it could be worse.

Me too!!!

I guess that whole thing about following someone who is basically a stranger across the north pole to another continent is why the beginning seems so intent on forging relations between the pcs and the npcs... doesn't always work I guess.... anyway.. I'm here if you want to pick it up again.

I agree Ikoma... JR seems to be cursed for me too- thanks Edwin for running as long as you did, and for being forthcoming about shutting it down instead of just disappearing. If you ever want to revisit the idea of running it, please pm me, as I love this ap would like to finish it someday.

Ikoma, Vermundr, Ogrin, I'll miss you guys too... maybe I'll see you in another game someday.

That's odd - I've got one game I haven't been able to post in too... it takes all posts as previews and won't ever post them.

Ahiko continues to 'play dead' until more folk come up from down below.

Having oral surgery tomorrow so might be a bit out of things... we'll see if I can post or not on whatever pain meds they give me, lol... I should be fine by saturday though.

Since the only opponent now in reach of her is dazed for the moment, she pulls out her wand andheals herself, then continues to lay on the ground unmoving so when he comes out of being dazed he'll still think her unconscious or at least not a combatant.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

So did anyone else get 'spam' in their inbox on Paizo from some reverend in the UK wanting private email response? My original reaction was 'oh hell no!' Just curious if anyone else got one of these messages?

bluff: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

The witch considers her options which are few and those she has are all unwise. Healing with her wand would barely patch her serious wounds at the ratethey are damaging her, she would be dead in 6 seconds anyway. Diving overboard would get her attacked (aoo's) and she'd likely be unconscious and drowning when she hit the water. Staying where she is with no backup will get her killed as well... So she takes the only action she can think of...

She looks down at her wounds, pulls her hand away from one of her most serious wounds for a moment and lets the blood drop from her fingers and she rolls her eyes back in her head, lets a soft groan escape her lips an falls to the ground in a heap in response to the last attack, hoping her attackers will think her out of combat and no longer a target.

Ahiko takes a step back at a diagonal (across the ship from Ikoma, with only one enemy now in range of her, but with fire at her back, there's not much option on where to go.

ouch

sorry cant format to do ooc on my phone, but yes i think ahiko ran up first

"Maybe the thieves Lothi speaks of took both..." Ahiko sprints for the deck as fast as she can.

Ahiko looks around for Ulf and the missing sword as well, hoping to find both before the ship is fully engulfed in flames...

perc: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

ah, I was wondering where you'd gotten off to, lol.. welcome back..

"Thank you, good healer... I feel much better. Now let's find who and what we came for and get out of here..."

appraise: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Ahiko lets the boys detect magic, and turns her attention to healing Vermundr again.

clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

better than a 1 I guess

"Well done, boys... anyone else need to be healed?"

Ahiko, having little to contribute to battle such a foe, again touches Vermundr with her wand.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

oh come ON!!! sheesh

Ahiko slips into a position where she can heal Vermundr and touches him with her wand.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

ouch, sorry it wasn't more... "curse you, dicebot!"

the ogc doesn't say, so I'd say it would be the same kind of damage as a whip, wouldn't you? of course that's just a guess... all it says in the ogc is "Her hair has reach 10 feet, and she can use it as a secondary natural attack that deals 1d3 points of damage (1d2 for a Small witch)."

Ahiko yelps in surprise at the attack and withdraws a step, extends her hair and attacks the creature...

to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
dmg if hits: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
miss chance 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 56

no problem, thanks for the heads up... have good, safe travels, and see you when you have time, and when you get back.

Happy 4th to all.

Ahiko reaches out and touches Vermundr as he heads for the top deck.

healing hex: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

"This mist is a magical one... created with a spell... beware!" Ahiko warns, a moment too late to put Vermundr on his guard...

perc: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Ahiko looks around the hold, casts detect magic, and scans the area for a katana, magical or not.

Ahiko follows Ikoma and the others down, ready for a fight or ambush, watchful of what is behind them as well as that in front.

perc: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

obviously not too perceptive right now

"You are welcome to use my staff if you wish, good Ikoma, but somehow I think you are wishing for a better weapon than this. However, the offer remains yours if no better one comes your way." Ahiko holds forth her quarterstaff if Ikoma wishes to use it.

not sure who has what available, who knows, the qs might be the best you can get til we get to your stuff.. we'll see who else offers.

Ahiko has little strength to add, but does her best to assist the strongest among them, laying a hand to the prybar (or whatever is being used) to giving her all in a furious effort.

strength to aid: 1d20 ⇒ 11

"I am Ahiko. A pleasure to meet you Ikoma.. and you too, young human." says the blue skinned woman.

sorry I was driving home to calif from Vegas yesterday and arrived hot and exhausted after 5 hours behind the wheel. I fell asleep early without checking the boards. However today is a new day...

Ahiko slips forward and checks the two beaten men as they are released. If they are actually hurt (ie down hit points), she touches each one in turn with a healing hex.

heal hex on Ikoma: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
heal hex on Ogrin: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

str: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

oh... damn

Ahiko does her best to try to hang onto the boat, not being a good swimmer. She'll use her hair to grab the boat and try to turn it over, and use her hair to climb into the boat.

what happened to the person I'm with? Don't they get a wis check?

str: 1d20 ⇒ 11

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Perhaps it's a good thing that Ahiko is not very strong and being more a passenger than a rower.

Sounds fine to me! I hope Vermundr and Lothi agree since it looks like you already decided.

I like Ikoma for the tank (he's the Samurai) and I couldn't find the cleric, but a cleric would be great... or the wizard Tal, but that would give us 3 arcane casters and no divine... Just my 2 cents.

I'm going to be traveling - I'll be on the road Weds and Thurs, at a show Fri and Sat, then on the road again Sunday and MOnday - I'll be in hotels in the evening and have wifi in the room but unsure of their connection strength and speed. I will do my best to check in every day, but if I don't post in a reasonable amount of time, feel free to npc me please.

- Ahiko

"You are right, of course, my friend. Kali would want us to kick some ass. Let's get this done, and if we survive it, we can mourn our dead when it's over." Ahiko blushes at her own use of Common vernacular, and giggles softly. "For Kali!" she says, as if it were their new rallying cry.

Then she taps herself twice with it as well.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"I'm going to need a new one of these very soon. I hope I can find one when the time comes."

"That would be... kind of you... to honor her in that way. Thank you, Lothi. But you are right, we have a task ahead of us that takes precedence over honoring our fallen."

Now that Lothi is safe in his boat, she grabs the healing wand with her hair and reaches over to his boat and taps him with it enough times to heal him more completely.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

that should just get you to full hp, Lothi

Between sniffles and bursts of tears, Ahiko is able to gurgle out, in Minkaian: "She... she's... gone... the beast took ... her."

Then, realizing she's reverted to her native tongue in her anguish, she repeats herself in Common.

We seem awfully underpowered for only one, especially if we go with another arcane caster... which would give us 3 arcane casters and one fighter... I'm more inclined to take a front liner and a divine caster or rogue, but that's just me. It seems like EVERY fight we get in is life or death for at least one person, and gods forbid we should have 2 fights in one day, because our healing gets spent so quickly and our resources just keep getting lower.

I guess it's just me, but I really think we need to have at the very least another front liner, esp. since Vermundr wants to be more of a ranged fighter, AND another caster (or a rogue). I'd personally lean toward the divine in our needsm but if we can't get that, then a battlefield control/blaster type wizard or sorc.

Hi Mellowgoth - I read Romm... took me a while to find the post, lol... anyway - very neat background. I like to see characters with some conflict in their past for sure... just remember, I'm only one player in the game, not the decision maker. That would be GM Edwin.

GMEdwin - did you remember to drop the critter's strength by 3 before calculating damage or to hit rolls?

Afraid her remaining spells will be ineffective against the creature, Ahiko raises her crossbow and fires, hoping to hit it.

to hit: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 4 = 19
dmg if hits: 1d8 ⇒ 3

to confirm crit: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 4 = 10
addl dmg if crits: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Magnum - very cool background... lots of thought went into OGrin, I can see that.

and yes 4th is the right lvl... 20 point build... standard wealth by level for 4th (6000 gp).

I don't know about core races only... he let me play a Samsaran, so he might allow an aasimar... we'll have to wait for GM Edwin's input on that.
