Isfan ibn Dafuur's page

Mine is also fine. Thanks again and goodbye.

Yes Thanks also from my side, was a wonderful adventure well hosted with an interesting party. I am happy you convinced my to join in.

Isfan spends his downtime jotting down instructions on the new trail.

Scouting lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 --> Success

Isfan take some time saying goodbye in the morning before leaving with the other musing if he should make sure to come by on the way back.

When they arrive back at the civilization, he is happy to see the nobles have arrived savely too. "Thanks for that gift. It is a really useful staff. Thank you for that gift. We really appreciate it."

Basking in Grakchas admiration, Isfan grabs the orcess and pulls her over to the campfire to feast together on the victory.

After a few horns of beer he jumps up to show of his skill as a dancer by showing some traditional Garundi dance moves.

After a long and happy evening he easily joins Grakcha in her tent.

"Thank you doctor, I feel a bit better now." Isfan is trying to get up while the others search the hoard of the monster.

Would you mind treating me continously for an hour? or should i take a healing potion to top offn my HP?

When the others suggests that he should take the trophy of the ogres heads he beams with pride and takes up the ogres own axe to hack it off, bleeding it dry and putting it in some cloth for ease of transport.

Thanks for the complement. The dice are definitely with me in that adventure.

With all your boni I was actually only hoping to get a solid 20 points of damage in there to give Lizzo a chance to finish him off.

Just as Lazarus predicted the Ogre is to slow to protect its knees from a swift strike and Isfan lands a perfect strike while the monster is still trying to avoid the flying hammers. The giant toples over almost immediately and isfan is able to bring down its second scimitar at his throat.

Unfortunstely when avoiding the falling giant he opens himself up to the little rats and they strike mercilessly.

Fort DC14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Fort DC14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Dam: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The bloody scimitars falling from his hands he is falling on top of his victim.

I LOVE THIS DICE!!!.

Hope there is nothing I missed, and then this might be my first Ogre in one.

Using the confusion of the Shrews, Isfan rushes forward, activating his poteny crystal to attack the Ogre before it can react.

Activate Potency Crystal (free), Stride, Strike, Twin Takedown (Ogre is already my hunted prey)

Scimitar 1: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27 Striking+1

Scimitar 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12 Flurry, Twin Takedown, Striking+1

Scimitar 2: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20 Flurry, Twin Takedown
Dam: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Potential Bonus from Lazarus +1 on first hit (Known Weakness) and -2 AC (Stratagem)

Yes of course lets go West

"Well now we are here we might as well hurry onwards. Should we move southward?"

@GM Did I have any success looking for tracks? If not I agree with Lazarus

Isfan watches Lazarus taking out a pack of Harrow cards and draw the Fiend of the suit of Swords. When Lazarus points to the left he nods agreeingly and takes the lead.

Isfan will be looking for tracks of the ogre as his Exploration activity.

Survival (Hunted Prey): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 21

In preparantion of the upcoming battle Isfan checks his poteny Crystal and once more sharpens his scimitars.

When the orc offers more healing he thanks the Orcess and refers the potions to the others. "I carry already two potions and I doubt I can find the time to apply them in battle anyway."

When the group starts out for the ogre, Isfan makes him his hunted prey, looking for his tracks.

remebering this challenge from the steppe barbarians of his home, Isan steps up. He grabs the drinking horn fills it with gin and toast to the Orcess
Fort DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Isfan raises his horn and drains it in one go. "Honor belongs to the strong!" he shputs challenging the woman to do the same.

Isfan is stepping up next to Lazarus keeping his weapons undrawn to show their peaceful intentions.

"We seek no quarrel with you although we are prepared to handle it should it come."

"Hmm something seems to have befallen them lately, from the looks of it. Maybe we can use that to our advantage to find a peaceful solution for the trail. does anybody of us speak Orc?"

Using scout for now, checking oiut the camp with my spyglass trying to notice more details.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Hearing Lazarus crying out the opening flank of the warg Isfan is lashing out for the opening with a strong sideward swing, trying to drive the warg away switching to his attacker when possble. Thre forceful blows are raining down on the wolves.

Scimitar 1: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28Flanked by Lazarus Strategem
Dam: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Crit Dam: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

If this was not enough to kill him Hunt prey and Twin strike on the warg, if the warg is downed the hunt prey and twin strike on the wolf in front of me.

Scimitar 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 Flurry, Forceful,+2 if vs. warg
Dam: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Forceful
Scimitar 2: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16 Flurry +2 if vs. warg
Dam: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Seeing the situation escalate Isfan draws his scimitars and steps up to give peregrine some cover.

Stride , 2x Draw Weapon

Athletics DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"I think this cave is a good place to put up a depot and prepare a shelter for later expeditions."

Isfans exploration mode is Scout.

Last time it was okay we all try the checks. and manage a single success.

Isfan is wqatching the others futily climbing up the wall. "Do you think we could just pull them up with the rope? I do not believe our scolars are going to make it otherwise."

The ranger is trying to find a better climbing spot somewhere else or some other valuable terrain ressource.
Scouting Lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Did I cover the first point already, or should I roll again.

Realizing there is not much else he can do and he starts checking out the route before them for potential hazards.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Later he will look for a spot where the Goats can graze and for a spot to rest.
Nature Grazing areas: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Perception Resting Spot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

"Are you sure?"

Nature DC10 - Spending Hero Point: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

"I believe it looks threatening. I think the other should stay back for now."

Isfan is collecting a few leaves and makes soothing noises while getting nearer to the goat.

Nature soothing goats: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Coming from a community of goat herders back in katapesh Isfans experience clearly shows.

Nature DC10: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Not sure if I was meant to roll anyway, so leaving the right of the first reaction to Lazarus.

Athletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 Move to 15"

Athletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Move to 20"

Athletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Move to 25"

Isfan easily climbs up the rock and helps the other up while Lizzo checks the surroundings. If necessary he borrows his Spyglass to the Lizard.

Isfan is looking for a place where he is not easily visible for an observer in the plains. Then he starts searching the area using his Spyglass if appropriate.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Looking carefully at teh mistakes of the others, Isfan tries to climb up himself, but fails.
Athletics DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

"I should have bought a climb kit andstead of a compass". Frustrated he picks himself up and gives it one more try. This time he finds an easier route and is able to reach the top, where he fixes a rope.

Athletics DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

"Thanks for the offer, which we are sure to take you up on in the morning, but for now lets call it a night, we need a clear head tomorrow." Isfan is once more thanks the host for his hospitality and wishes a good night, putting the second half of the gin away.

In the morning he asks out host to cast Longstrider on his companions and himself. Hope thats not too much spells.

We could take it for an hour and keep the gin.

Druidic spellcasting services means he is willing to cast a spell on us correct?

What good would that do? Wouldn't the duration be long over by the time we could use it in another encounter?

I would save the other half for negotiating with the orcs, but I am not very firm about this.

"You are a man after my liiking Bark. Here lets share some of our own spirits too." Isfan takes out the bottle of Gin and offers to fill up the next round.

If possible he would like not to spend all of it, but hospitality will be more important.

Isfan is calling a toast to the halforc: "To your health Bark. and to tomorrows adventure.", then he gazes questioning towards Lazarus, trying to decide if to get out the bottle of Gin.

Do you guys think we should offer him some of our own? Since he has mutltiple times mentioned, that spirits are hard to get here?

"Yes lets find out who the owner of this dog is."

Isfan carefully approches the beast making soothing noises and trying not to upset it.

Nature (Identify Monster): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Well I think we should build as small groups as possible. Izoo, You look the strongest of us, so you should go alone. while Lazzie and I should tether to one of Peregrine and Madzork."

My assumption is that the larger the group the larger the malus for groupsize. Tethering gives a +1. So the setting above should give us the best chances.

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

" I think it would be useful to split up into smaller groups. And also rope people together so they can help each other."

Isfan tells everybody about the contents of the spoiler

"I could help you with some additional rope, but I think we should make sure still to have some once we reach the mountains. Unfortunately I am not skilled in constructing things, but maybe one of the others can help you."

"While Madzork and Lazarus discuss the possibilities of a rope bridge Isfan looks at Lizzos fording spot and tries to improve it by moving a few boulders."

Athletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

"They were attacked themselvesby some predator who destroyed their Eggs. Here you can see the tracks."

That was only a copy paste error. I corrected that to nature

Seeing the Destroyed raven nests, Isfan is trying to discern the tracks of the predator to find out more about him.

Survival +4

While he is at it he also trys to get a feeling which other wildlife they might meet in this area to be well prepared.

Survival to identify local wildlife: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Lastly he will work together with the doctor in finding a fordable spot.

Aid for an expected Nature Check by Lazarus to find a ford: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

If we do not find a ford Isfan can use try and error to find one. the Acrobatics modifier is +5

I hope you were not waiting for me. With all that solid hits I had assumed the battle won already and Jenkins was also taken care of.

Isfan steps up and help dispersing the crow swarm and keep it away from poor Jenkins.

Stride, Strike, Strike

Isfan is drawing one of his scimitars tring to fend off the ravens without much success, before he retreats out of the immediate danger.

Isfan looks confused at the Discussion between Madzork and Lizzo. before calling it a night.

Exploration Mode: Sense Direction (since Scout is covered already)

In order to find out if we missed anyone here is what I looked up. Just in case you were wondering yourselves.

Sarevi (Climbing- Athletics)
Lazarus - 22

Amayas (Terrain - Survival/Nature)
Lazarus - 22
Isfan - 11

Jasper (Tracks - Nature)
Isfan - 9
Lazarus - 10
Lizzo - 21

Dacian (hunting - Nature)
Madzork - 9
Lazarus - 24
Lizzo - 18

Leonie (Common party goal - no check)
Lazarus
Isfan

"First venture?" Amayas repeats, before quickly taking a drink as if stalling for time. "Why, I come from a long-line of hunters and adventurers. Many a night have I spent out in the wilds of my family's estate, stalking prey. The forest there was, of course, not quite like this area. More temperate for sure. Different prey. But, the wilds are the wilds, so to speak, not much difference between land or another."

"I think you are mistaken on this point. Aa different land means a different climate. When I first left my homelnds of the katapeshi deserts and came to the north I was very lucky to travel with an elven friend who gave me hints about travelling in the cold before I found myself in the middle of some snowy mountains with no way back."

Isfan turns to Leonie replying " We are all brought together by a common goal ourselves. We all joined the Pathfinder Society to explore the mysteries of the land. And we swore to support each other wherever we need it."

"Now We came here in search for a new pathway between your friendly nations and we are fully commited to find that and support and complement each other in the quest for that goal."

PS: I also believe better things will happen the more checks we make, so if you believe I should reroll my check, I will do.

Okay put it more clearly.

Yes it could be but I do not believe it is. I am against using it here.

When Jasper is showing his book Isfan is immediately interested in Extending his knowledge about animals in this part of the world, so he steps up to the young man and starts discussing different ways of identifying animals

Nature: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

I assume I can only botch one discussion
