Alek Stormcrow's page

No worries, Oykiv! Thanks for running the scenario!

Alek is likewise Normal progression.

"I prefer the idea of bringing him along for additional questioning as opposed to torture. Killing an opponent in a fight happens, but once they surrender we must accept it. Should his punishment be determined to be death for his crimes, then so be it."

Alek stashes his alchemist fire and glares down at Na'lu. "What is your participation in all this?"

I was thinking he was dead? He is no longer on the initiative list, nor on the map.

Alek moves towards the pit and draws a vial of alchemist fire as he does so...

Cinderpaw Ref: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 20

Fixed Cinderpaws location on the map. Somehow he got moved into the pit...

The wolf maintains his position despite the precarious footing and attacks the strange man again while Alek starts to climb up to the edge of the bridge! Cinderpaw tries to bite down hard upon the man's leg and yank his feet out from beneath him!

Cinder Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 1 = 18
Cinder Trip: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 1 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

Alek was further back, so his position will remain where he is currently after this round.

Alek continues to slowly move forward... While Cinder attempts and fails to bite the strange man... Oy...

Cinderpaw Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Cinder AoO vs Na'lu: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage vs Na'lu: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Cinder AoO vs Strange guy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Also, let me be clear that Alek will not, under any circumstances, leave Cinderpaw alone in that pit. I just want to put that out there so that we are all clear. He will stay and fight alone if need be, but he will not leave his friend in there.

I am perfectly okay with the way Enora's actions played out. Cinderpaw is fairly tough, I think he will be okay for the moment. Alek plans on dropping down into the pit when he reaches it anyway.

Alek spots the pit appear and gasps when he sees his companion fall along with the others. "Cinder!" he curses his slow movement while he continues to move forward towards his foes!

Down in the pit, Cinderpaw gets to his feet and growls at Na'lu before trying to clamp down on the caster and hold him tightly in his teeth!

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 1 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 = 13

Alek Actions: Move Action - Slowly move forward another 10'... Cinderpaw Actions: Move Action - Stand up. Standard Action - Attack Na'lu! Free Action - Use one of his daily Skirmish Tricks to use Tangling Attack (Entangled for 1 round if attack is successful).

I think it was a good call. Alek's speed is only 10' right now and he's staggered, which means that is all he can move per round... Sigh... Cannot wait for 7th level when Cinderpaw becomes Large and I can ride him!

Bhuukka covered it, thanks. Come 7th and his Natural Armor really shoots up!

Alek Will DC 17: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Cinder Will DC 17: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Alek staggers as he feels himself coming slower and fights against the feeling, but his willpower is not powerful enough to overcome the spell. "Cinder, go boy! Kill him!" Alek begins to slowly move towards the threat while Cinderpaw rushes forward with a snarl! Unfortunately the wolf is unable to contact with his bite!

Cinderpaw Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Alek: Swift Action - Animal Focus (Bull) +2 Strength to Alek. Move Action - Move forward to position on map. Cinderpaw: Move Action - Move forward to position (drawing AoO from the longspear fellow). Standard Action - Attack Na'lu.

Alek draws his falchion and prepares himself for the inevitable combat. "Enough talking. If it's a fight you are looking for, then you've found one."

Hopefully everyone had/is having a wonderful and Happy Holiday.

Likewise!

Alek stashes his bow and draws his falchion in one smooth motion; this is what he was good at doing. Cinderpaw waits anxiously for the sign to charge into the fight!

Move Action - Stash bow. Move Action - Draw falchion. Cinderpaw will delay until a command is given.

Correction... Alek was shooting at the same guard he directed Cinderpaw to attack. Which would have been Red. Not sure where I got my colors mixed up.

Alek curses when he realizes they have given away their position in a very bad way. He tosses the rope to Khurgron as he steps to the side and draws out his longbow. "Cinder, go!" He indicates the crossbow wielding guard as his target. He then fires off an arrow before Cinderpaw suddenly rushes at the guard! Cinderpaw snarls as he snaps his maw at the guard and tries to pull him down to the ground!

Alek Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Alek Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Cinderpaw Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Cinderpaw Trip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Alek: Free Action - Toss the rope. Free Action - 5' step to new position on map. Move Action - Draw Longbow. Standard Action - Attack Yellow. Free Action - Give attack command to Cinderpaw. Cinderpaw: Move Action - Move into position on map. Standard Action - Attack Yellow w/ free Trip attempt if the attack is successful.

Also, as a note, Cinderpaw is highly intelligent for an animal companion (Int of 4) and as such can fully understand Common due to putting a point into Linguistics.

Alek starts pulling rope out of his backpack to bind the guard. "Shut up, or we will kill you. My wolf will devour your face."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17

"This dumb, snake-thing started punching me, so I hit him back! I'll fight whomever I want, wherever I want! Who the Hells are you to tell me any different?!" He takes a menacing step towards the guard.

Is the guard armed?

That works for me!

Cinder growls and bears his fangs when Khugron suddenly swings at Alek, but he quickly stands down after his master whistles. "Hah, you dim-witted snake! Not only can you not talk, you can't punch either! Like taking down a linnorm from back home!" Alek quickly lands a light punch to his companion's shoulder.

Punch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Non-lethal damage since Alek doesn't have Improved Unarmed Strike.

"Perhaps Khugron and I can get into a slugging match in view of everyone. Nothing quite as distracting to a bunch of dock workers as I good old fist fight?"

Unfortunately the only thing there that Alek is really good at, would be brute strength. He's not exactly a subtle kind of guy. I can be a look out if need be, or find a way to be a distraction.

Alek, does indeed, have Spark prepared!

Alek likewise wipes the sweat from his face with a rag, although the oppressive heat causes a near constant stream of sweat. "I think that sounds like a fantastic idea. Perhaps I can assist with a distraction. After all, I do have a large wolf with me." he grins at Cinderpaw.

I've got a +9 Survival, but only +1 Sleight of Hand. I'm thinking Rallas would likely be our best bet in this situation.

I would prefer to keep playing, despite not being able to finish in time for GDV.

Alek smiles when Bhuukka seems to figure out the riddle. "Well done, Bhuukka! Let us make haste, then."

Lay Low: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Int Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Alek is for sticking with their original agreement with Novaria.

Alek folds his arms across his chest. "So, in reality your only concern is the profit you make from your 'benevolent' actions. You look to be the hero to your people by recovering the relics, but then still turn a profit by selling them back." He shares a look with his companions. "Do whatever you wish with this woman, I care not either way, but we have a job to do. Let us continue on with it."

Alek remains quiet while those better suited to such tasks handle the situation. He keeps a very close eye on the remaining bandits in the event negotiations go south.

Sorry about my disappearance. I injured my back on Sunday and was bed-ridden on muscle relaxers and heating pad the past two days. I will get caught up with all my games nowish.

Alek comes around the corner in a rush just as Cinderpaw moves to one side. Together they move forward as a single unit, bringing the fight to the ambusher!

Alek Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 4 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 4 - 1 - 1 = 23
Alek Damage: 2d4 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 11

Cinder Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 - 1 = 9
Cinder Trip: 1d20 + 5 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 4 - 1 = 25
Cinder Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

Alek Actions: Move Action - Move into position. Standard Action - Attack Red w/ Power Attack and Combat Expertise (+1 Dodge to AC for effective AC of 19). Cinderpaw Actions: Free Action - 5' step into new position. Standard Action - Attack Red w/ Power Attack.

Alek spots the ambush too late, but tries to make up the time. He draws his falchion while moving forward to engage the enemies, whistling for Cinderpaw to follow. A short distance away he sees one of them and sends Cinderpaw in for the kill! "Cinder, kill!" The wolf lets out a howl and rushes towards his target, slowing weaving through the throng of legs!

Alek - Double move to current position (Difficult Terrain stinks...), drawing Falchion as part of the move. Also, Free Action to direct Cinderpaw to attack Red. Cinderpaw - Double move to current position.

I'm here, sorry was away for the weekend and waiting for my turn to come around.

No long term buffs here either.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Alek and Cinderpaw follow along the caravan, trying to keep an eye out for any danger, but keeps becoming distracted as his eyes dart from person to person...

Same position as Rallas. Alek has zero social skills to aid in the this one.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Alek moves along with the group, trying very hard to keep a low profile. He remains quiet while waiting for one of the others to step up and do the talking.

Alek isn't the best at social situations.

Alek might be good at doing the work for the day with Ma'alu while some of the others do the more social aspects of this scenario.

Stealth (Lay Low): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Alek attempts to keep a low profile while moving through the city; however, his Ulfen heritage draws more attention to him than he had hoped... He does, however, notice the behaviors of the servers and keeps a mental tally of who and where as they move about.

I think laying low would be a good option for Alek. I don't have any ranks in Disguise, or Intimidate (which that will be fixed next level...).

"Disguise kits may come in handy. Though, as long as we are not flashing our Wayfinders about and claiming to be Pathfinders, then I cannot believe anyone would assume us to be anything beyond what we claim to be..."

Know: Geography: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Alek cannot recall much more than their gnomish companion. "This should prove to be an interesting adventure, friends. My name is Aleksander Stormcrow, but please call me Alek. This is Cinderpaw." He gestures at his wolf companion who seems to almost nod as he looks at each of you in turn. There is an eerie intelligence in the wolf's eyes.

Alek wipes the beading sweat from his forehead while a large, wolf lays at his feet panting from the oppressive heat. "How anyone could wish to live in this sweltering jungle, I've no idea." He quiets as Aya Allehe rushes into the room; her readily apparent worried look driving away all thoughts of the heat from his mind. The wolf, sensing his companion's abrupt change in demeanor sits upward and begins sniffing the air. Alek pats the wolf on the head a few times. "Down, Cinder."

He then listens quietly while the others delve more into the details of acquiring the message. Such things were better suited to those with the minds for details. While Alek was above average intelligence, his skill set lay more in making sure his skillful companions were able to safely meet their objectives.

PFS #: 13693-3
Player Name (or alias): Matt B.
Character Name: Alek Stormcrow
Day Job Roll: Profession: Woodcutter: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Faction: Grand Lodge

Initiative: +1
Perception: +8

Arcane support would indeed be good to have. I think we pretty much have melee completely covered. Alek and Cinder typically focus on one enemy at a time, because they flank with each other regardless of position. Therefore I will almost always single out an enemy (if there are more than one) for those two to handle.

Alek is also great at tracking (+10 bonus) in the event we need to track anyone.
