Aldonza Delamorte's page

Thank you for running!
Good game everyone!

”I’m sorry, I’m just an ignorant, starless outsider”, says Aldonza, ”but this is about trading with Vidrian, not us, isn’t it?”

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

”Exactly! You don’t know, do you?”, Aldonza retorts. ”So much time has passed, they could have whole new industries. Silver embroidery? Seedless pomegranates? Anything is possible, but only one way to be sure!”

Deception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

”Plus, Droon can get in on that sweet, sweet trade action themselves!”, Aldonza says brightly.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Aldonza flourishes her scabbard at the elemental that just missed her, and goes for a killing blow.

Feint, Confident Finisher, Parry

Deception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27
Damage: 5d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3, 5, 4, 3) + 2 = 19P

Aldonza is listed twice in the initiative. Is she up?

Aldonza pursues the rat, stopping on another constellation. 2

Peering through the smoke, she tries a trick of her own to make it easier to hit.

Stride, Feint, Strike

Fort save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Deception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 2) + 5 = 11P +Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1 if Feint is successful

Aldonza looks over the room, looks at the runes on the floor, and says, ”Ah the heck with it!”

She draws her sword once again, steps behind the stone dog, and looks for a crack to slide it into.

Interact, Step, Strike Green (flanking)

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Damage: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) + 5 = 18P

Hero Point the attack

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

Aldonza’s gaze follows the elementals as they swirl through the room.

”Round and round and round they go!
Where they stop, nobody knows!”

As she recites, she sheathes her sword, and pulls a small hammer that’s hanging from her hip.

”But when they choose to come and play,
It’s time for us to wreck their day!”

She throws it at the one in front of Slipp.

Swap sword and hammer, Perform for Panache, Strike Yellow

Performance: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7B +3 with Panache

Aldonza prepares to get stabby.

"I could stand on Ondess. However, I wonder if Slipp would get more mileage out of it."

Is it save for Slipp to cast fireball in here? Since it only details its effect on creatures, the GM decides what happens to objects in the area.
And are we allowed to inquire about more constellations, or is it only one constellation question per player?

"On second thought, Slipp usually relies on summoning creatures. I will probably get more mileage out of that one. Aldonza, could you step aside please?"

I will move Aldonza's token out of the way under the assumption that she acquiesces, since she has no spells.

No problem. I completely misread what the benefit was. I’ll be on 11

”Well, now that *that’s* cleared up…”, says Aldonza, as she draws her sword.

She looks at the constellations at her feet. ”Ooh, what’s this one?”, she asks, pointing with her scabbard.

#7

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

”Lumki!”, Aldonza exclaims. ”Good to see you again! No more gargoyles, I hope?”

She starts at Lashweather’s reticence. ”Aw c’mon, it’s just one meeting! Lumki can keep an eye on this stuff for you!”

Aldonza raises an eyebrow. ”It wouldn’t be the first time?”, she repeats. ”So he’s flaked out before? How come?”

”So as you can see, we’re a resourceful lot”, says Aldonza.

”We travel all around, and do our derring-do’s!
We’ll save the day again, and maybe take a snooze!
We have some great connections, and know all the Who’s Who’s!
So come and join the team, you’ll love it! What say youse?”

Performance: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Kesstraka looks at Aldonza. “Your style has a certain panache. Explorers and adventurers like to talk about their great achievements, I find. But not so often do they tell tales of their mistakes. Will you share with me a time you failed?”

”Hmm, let’s see…”, Aldonza muses. ”Does failing your parents count? I think it should. Like they say, ‘If you’re gonna fail, fail big!’ “

”They never judged me for my hag blood, although everyone else did. Other kids teased me; still can’t stand the sound of cuckoo clocks. Their parents weren’t much better, blaming me whenever their milk soured. Maybe you shouldn’t have left it out so long, Mrs. Cooper!”

”So one day there’s a circus in town, and I beg my parents to take me, and there’s all of these people doing amazing things without any magic! But there’s also these carnies who work there, and they look different, or walk different, but I see how they talk to each other, and it’s like they’re the normal ones, and I figured that’s the kind of life for me, so I ditched my folks and hid in a wagon, and that’s how I got into show business!”

She takes an elaborate bow, her grin frozen on her face. ”My folks just wanted a happy kid, and I couldn’t deliver, so instead, I gave them *no* kid! My first trick was a vanishing act that’s lasted ten years. That got to be a record, right?”

Cheers!

Have fun!

I’m in Milwaukee this week, and seeing the places I remember from when GenCon was held here. Good times :-)

Aldonza looks at her companions suspiciously, then shrugs. ”Beats any ideas I have”, she says, as she sheathes her sword. She drags a carcass toward the newly-minted statue, and starts squeezing.

Aldonza takes advantage of the animals’ distraction to stab at the basilisk again.

Strike (flanking), Parry

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Damage: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 2, 3) + 2 = 13P

Aldonza lets the others make short work of the basilisks, leaving one for her. How thoughtful! :-)

She lunges at it, then raises her scabbard in a defensive posture.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 2 = 7P

Will Hero Point that hit if I missed

Aldonza feels her joints start to stiffen, so she does the automaton as she draws her sword.

Interact, Perform to gain Panache

Performance: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

”Know anything about her personally that might help?”, asks Aldonza. ”Turn-ons, turn-offs, favorite curse word?”

Aldonza sidles up to Narsha’s desk in a conspiratorial manner.

”Y’know, my dad was a clerk”, she says. ”Everyone at work looked down on him, thinking he was just some low-level cog. They didn’t know how hard the job was, or how much actual influence he had on how things ran. That office would have fallen apart without him, but did they respect him for it? Nah!”

She peers around to make sure nobody overhears. ”But I see you, queen. Mistress of your domain. These folks are lucky to have you. Respect”

Deception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Aldonza nods at Calisro’s suggestion. ”’Subtle’ is my middle name!”

She looks at the others. ”What?”

I have a decent Deception, but I can go either way

Purchased +1 and striking runes for crossbow
Purchased +1 striking handwraps of mighty blows

Same, but for a light hammer instead of a crossbow

Chronicle looks good. Thanks for running!
Good game everyone!

Upon their return, Aldonza does a re-enactment of the fight, through the magic of storytelling and interpretive dance!

Performance: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Aldonza backflips and round-offs her way around Paravaax, where she looks for more weak points.

Sneak Attack, Backstabber: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Aldonza ducks and twirls at the gargoyle’s approach. She pirouettes as she rises, drawing the sword from her marotte.

She winks at Slipp and says, ”A toasted marshmallow needs a stick”, as she stabs at Paravaax.

Perform to gain Panache, Interact, Strike

Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 2 = 10P, +3 with Panache

Aldonza sizes up Paravaax, as she sings him to his rest.

”The evil king upon his throne
Who can’t leave well enough alone.
His time is up, his death is nigh,
So now we bid a fond goodbye”

Mark for Death

Aldonza turns to Lumki. ”Any idea what’s behind those doors? Besides an observatory, I mean”

Aldonza ties off the rope, bowing to Mialee with a flourish. Then she heads across.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

"Ohh, and observatory!" coos Slipp

"That sounds interesting. I wonder what we will see from up there?"

Aldonza flourishes her sword and scabbard before sheathing them.

”All we can see, above and below!
Stars in the sky, and rivers that flow!
After we seal a gargoyle’s doom,
Party all night, and dance in his tomb!”

Aldonza steps up to the hound on Tharpe, and tries to get its attention by waving her scabbard in its face. ”Here boy! Here boy!”

Step, Feint

Deception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

She then tries to finish it off.

Confident Finisher

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Damage: 5d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 3, 2, 4, 2) + 2 = 18P

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Damage: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) + 5 = 11

Aldonza attempts to roll to her feet, through the legs of the nearest hound.

Stand, Tumble Through

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Aldonza springs into action, drawing her sword and closing with the hound that Tharpe is harrying.

Interact, Step, Strike Red (flanking)

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 2 = 11P
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Slipp gazes at the figures with interest.

"If they don't speak Taldane this could be a little harder than anticipated. That would be interesting. Still, music allows communication without words."

So saying they position themselves on the edge of the ship, take our their silver flute and start to play a jaunty number, hopefully demonstrating the ships peaceful intentions.

Expert, +13 with diplomacy here, but I don't speak the lingo.

Aldonza picks up what Slipp is putting down. She dances to their music, evoking harmony between the two groups. She portrays the Pathfinders as noble but hapless, in a self-deprecating manner.

Performance +13, Impressive Performance to Make an Impression

Aldonza wipes her blade on the body of the dead leader, and sheathes it with a *snap*

Aldonza does not

Frightened 1 would have expired at the end of Black's turn.

Slipp just frightened them again

Also, GO TEAM!

Aldonza parkours her way across the deck, between her allies, and up to the last sea devil. She attempts to tumble between their legs…

Stride, Tumble Through

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

If successful, attack with Confident Finisher, otherwise regular strike

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
Base damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 2) + 2 = 9P
+Finisher: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6) = 14

Seeing the battle over, Slipp waves to the giant crocodile and watches as it dives down and away, out of sight and back to some distant... very distant.. home.

"Think these sea devils might be the root of the problems we are going to be asked to fix?" they ask.

Psst! The black leader is still up

Aldonza sighs as her target drops. ”Pity, I was hoping he’d last longer”

Hearing the fight continue behind her, she springs over to the nearest devil, flourishing her scabbard before striking with her sword.

Stride, Feint, Strike

Deception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

”Looks like a full house”, Aldonza confides to Slipp. ”Break a leg”

Aloud, she continues. ”Ladies and gentlemen, and children of all flavors! I present to you, for your viewing pleasure...”

She makes an elaborate bow. ”...Aldonza Delamorte...”

She gestures toward the others with her free hand. ”...and entourage, in a theater-in-the-round production that we like to call...”

She grips the top of her marotte, and draws the slim blade hidden inside.

”…’Batter the Devil You Know’!”

She moves up to the prow, and waits for her target.

Perform (to gain Panache) - Assurance (20), Interact, Stride

Aldonza watches the devils approach, her marotte, as ever, in her hand. She turns to look at it, and rotates it so the tiny head on top faces her.

”The one in the front?”, she asks. ”You think so?”

She shakes the marotte, making the head nod.

”Okay then, you’re the boss!”

She grins wickedly, as they both turn to watch their prey.

Mark for Death on White

Aldonza finds kindred spirits among the others. She spars against Tharpe, slashing with her long nails against his kukri, then joining him up in the rigging.

As for Slipp, she allows them their personal space, but sings along with their music.

”We venture out across the waves,
Perhaps we’re heading to our graves,
But with our demon minstrel, well,
At least we’ll dance our way to Hell!”

Thank you!
