Arathorn Vallar's page

Looks good and thanks again for letting me join and running the scenario.

That is correct, and sorry about the confusion.

Thought that was part of the faction cards as one of the options for Liberty's Edge and since that is the only one I would have a chance to complete.

Or did the season change, only recently started Pathfinder and not sure exactly how one keeps track of the changing seasons and faction goals/missions.

Thanks for the reminder forgot that I didnt roll that yet.

Going to forgo downtime to attempt to nonviolently free some slaves with a stealth check.

Stealth DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Player Name: Bzl109
Character Name: Arathorn Vallar
PFS#: 272384-5
Faction: Liberties Edge Don't think I spelled that right sadly.
Day Job Roll: (Will have to give you this as a faction mission after I get off work)
Standard Advancement (though not sure how that impacts since I was only part of 3 of the 6 missions)

Also, thanks for letting me take part in the scenario.

Just checking in and after a round will probably roll perception checks for me and Atticus to see if there are any sounds to alert me to the fight in the crypt.

Looking up briefly at Hallimir's reply, he takes a few seconds before replying.

Think you said more than that but was a little distracted trying to follow the tracks after looking at the wounds briefly without much luck.

Also, me and Atticus will stay out here we don't care much for going into a tomb and someone needs to keep an eye out...Wonder should we move the body into the mausoleum with the rest of his kin?

Sorry for the delay going to go back in time slightly after Hallimir shines light on the statue.

Following the light from the mirror; Arathorn has a nagging thought in his head.

Hallimir what did you say earlier about the body?

Either way approaching the horse he attempts to take the reins and lead the horse over to the tree to the north of the central statue.

Keeping up a gentle conversation in a soothing voice usually repeating some fragment of the following.

Easy now boy just going to tie you up over here out of the way.

Turning to the crazy woman.

Will just put your weapons over here with your horse until we are both satisfied and leave this town.

Once she throws down her weapon Arathorn quickly calls Atticus to Heel. After Atticus comes over, Arathorn also takes a little time to treat/dress the scratch that the woman dealt to his companion.

Take 10 to Heal giving 17 total.

Well if we are to believe your accusations we would dare a lot, but to get back on task guessing you killing the favored son didn't disarm the trap huh.

Looking thoughtful and speaking partly to himself and partly to the group.

Still thrown with the accent if he meant son or sun...Any other ideas?

Yeah was almost hoping he couldn't reach with that roll and the good intimidate roll but will work out.

Also, to making sure but think my arrow hit, and just pointing out since there wasn't a reference to it in the response post.

Unless there was a reason I wouldn't have been able to make the attack.

Seeing the woman finally make a mistake with her distance Arathorn fires a quick command. Attack. Before drawing another arrow and loosing it before Atticus closes the distance.

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Round 2 of 10 for gravity bow and assuming Atticus can attack the horse or at least maybe disrupt the woman riding.

Waiting for the woman to come back around of the corner...Arathorn readies his bow and fires another arrow.

You are outnumbered and this will only end one way...Would recommend you stopping now.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

Round 1 of 10 for Gravity Bow

Welp that was some amazing rolls shesh.

Guess since we are going to play this game.

Arathorn takes a moment gathering his thoughts before casting Gravity Bow on himself while keeping Atticus at his side.

Moving south while calling out to Atticus and drawing another arrow to loose at the woman.

Heel.

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 4 = 23

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Arathorn moves back slightly to get an angle to see the horse and rider between the mausoleums before drawing his bow back and letting an arrow fly.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Seeing his arrow fly wide he decides to leave Atticus in place since there is no chance of him chasing down a horse without being too far forward for help.

Wish you had waited till we could have spread out some more there Blane but whats done is done...Do you think she will try to escape or just pepper us while moving outside our range?

On a side note does Arathorn see a short sword on the woman or just the crossbow?

A little disconcerted that he didn't notice the woman approaching him on a horse before they were right on top of them.

Turning to Atticus Guard. before turning back to the woman and moving a few feet to the right while keeping his eyes on the woman.

We were out for a stroll when we noticed the gates open and we decided to see if the bust was still delivering its message to random people. Now the better question is why the tracks from around the body was leading this direction. You didn't happen to pass/see anyone else while you were paying your respects to your ancestors?

Also, on a side note still had the bow out with an arrow ready though not draw and threatening anyone currently.

Sorry for the delay will make a post later tonight

After looking around.

The body was still warm when we approached...wonder if there is enough of a scent trail for Atticus to track.

With this thought in his head Arathorn turns to where the pup is still unsuccessfully attempting to be stealthy.

Heel. and after Atticus gets closer while petting the wolf points to the body. Track.

Going to take 10 for both Handle animal checks.

Then turning to Zaratina.

We maybe the best ones to solve the murder since it just occurred but if not we need to finish up quickly and put a little distance between us and the body.

Not seeing anything in the area.

Don't see anything though haven't covered the whole area by a long shot...Anyone recognize the body?

Arathorn approaches the body taking a long look at the marks on the bodies face. Afterwards after noticing the relative warmth of the body he takes a look around on the ground for any fresh tracks or blood trail.

Survival (Marks): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Survival (Tracks): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Sadly terrible roll for the first so dunno anything about the marks, and guessing I can't make a second attempt using knowledge nature either in this case.

Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 (Untrained)

Something else is going on tonight it appears cause these wouldn't be left unguarded much less open.

After saying this Arathorn turns to Atticus. Sneak

Will take 10 on the Handle Animal check since out of combat currently.

Turning back to the open gate Arathorn pulls out his bow and enters one of the darker shadows to start searching the cemetery.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Sneak: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Sneak (Atticus): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Hearing Atticus behind him.

Well guess I need to work with him more in the city for this trick.

Sadly 3 out of 4 rolls were pretty bad in this set also.

Same boat as Zaratina as far as ideas where to go from here...Definitely need to either come back at dusk or find some way to clear out the graveyard with some type of distraction. I guess the other thing is if there is some roll to gain a little more information to determine the clue without using player knowledge.

Trying to remember the words spoken from the bust while walking over to get a better look at it.

Damn accent is making it almost impossible to understand these people.

Only one I have seen/heard do that guessing the one buried here was very influential...Did it say "When the last son falls upon this spot, receive my thanks?

Guessing the guard is staying put for now?

Going up next to Hallimir.

Whispers

What did you say the journal said about these tombs, and wonder how we are going to get rid of this guard before we do anything.

Possibly...Going to walk Atticus a little more and scout out the rest of the cemetery.

So saying Arathorn makes a circuit of the area looking for anything out of place with Atticus trailing.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Turning his back after seeing Blane get poked in the eye, though not before a brief glimpse of a smile on his face.

Was also hoping to have a little space to walk Atticus...Even though he is just taking a sniff and lick. People on the streets seem to react a little skittish when we are passing them.

Think I may just take Atticus here for a walk and maybe see about coming back through the cemetery...Do we want to all head out separate and converge at a set time?

So low-light isn't going to be effective then?

Trying to remember did you see any guards at the cemetery Hallimir? Also are we going to try to do it at night again...What is the moon going to be like tonight?

True Zaratina...but then again why is it accepted to go digging in older civilizations burial grounds and tombs but not polite to do it for the more recently departed...Is it just because we knew them as opposed to the ancient ones being an unknown or simply because there isn't anyone left to protest.

Speaking quietly to Blane

Well lets just start with the tombs and regroup if there isnt anything worthwhile there before we borrow trouble.

Stupid accents are making it tough to understand anything... freaking inefficient/useless/annoying things.

Damn was really in the mood for a good ale...Mead...Whiskey...definitely not wine.

Mead, Sausage and Slaw...and a loaf of bread.

After delivering his order Arathorn turns back to the group.

Well noblemen probably means the graveyard next door...not sure how we want to go about this though...Vague is an understatement and if it is so valuable why would it still be there...We cant be the only ones that know about this supposed "treasure."

While waiting for the group respond Arathorn attempts to listen in on any other nearby conversations without being too apparent.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Catching a quick whiff of Atticus

Works for me.

Looking at Atticus

Wonder if they will let me wash you after I finish...Your a little distinctive right now boy.

After bathing himself and Atticus Going with a hot bath and will wash the pup afterwards.

Arathorn returns to the Inn and finds a seat against a wall preferably a corner with a view of the entrance before calling over the waiter(ess).

Dark Ale. What are the options for dinner tonight?

Guess we going to the bath first before swinging by the inn?

Either way Arathorn is going to try see if he hears anything interesting while they walk by the crowd on the way to the bath house.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Looking briefly at Atticus.

Heel.

After Atticus sits next to him; turning back to the guard.

Only on command.

Arathorn...Atticus...Mainly looking for a dinner that I don't have to cook...and a good bed.

Catches a whiff of himself.

Maybe a bath is in order also.

Will take those MW arrows though not sure I need much else...but lets put it on Blane's pony.

Leading the way down the path Arathorn continues to look for any more marauders.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Will also cast CLW after we rest again on both Atticus and Zaratina to get everyone up to full health as quickly as possible during the trip. Also, got no issues doing that and "selling" most of the weapons/armor to resupply for the rest of the trip.

Well that was a close one. Looks at Atticus. Sorry boy will have to tend you the old fashion way since Zaratina needs the help more.

Casts CLW on Zaratina. Though will probably need another from Blane to get her up.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Then takes 20 + 7 (Heal) to start bandaging up what he can on both Zaratina and Atticus.

Don't think I can get to her with that brute still in the way sadly...Maybe Blane can send his familiar with a cure to get her back on her feet.

Wanting to move to where the pony is would that have moved with Blane?

Arathorn moves to the side before getting into a flanking position with Hallimir to swing his scimitar at the big brute.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Sadly don't think that is going to cut it and AC is still 17 even without shield because of the extra dex from aspect of the tiger which is round 5 of 10

Thanks for the response and that works. What about having a move action left over for me to draw my weapon and join the melee next round?

Even though concerned over Atticus being hit, and quickly changing the animal aspect of Atticus to the bull hoping it is enough to keep him mobile. Then Arathorn draws another arrow taking a shot at Thud. After the arrow is away Arathorn drops his bow while drawing his scimitar.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Pretty sure drawing an arrow isn't a move action if not will not drop the bow since I wouldn't be able to draw my weapon. Also round 4 of 10 for Aspect of the Tiger.

Curious since Atticus is at 0 hp right now he isn't able to do anything correct, however, if I spend a swift action and change the aspect on Atticus to the bull (+2 Con) would he no longer be disabled with 1 hp and able to perform an attack?

Seeing Zaratina fall Arathorn hesitates slightly glancing at Blane, while shouting at Atticus Attack.

Handle animal (push): 1d20 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (20) - 2 + 4 = 22

If Blane is casting though Arathorn would not be able to identify if it is the right spell just assuming that blane would cast stabilize will attack orange again if not will cast stabilize at Zaratina.

Round 3 of 10 for Aspect of the Tiger.

Arathorn takes a couple steps to the left to try to get a better angle to shoot over Atticus as opposed to the revolving melee.
Seeing the one that he hit earlier a little in the back Arathorn decides to focus on him for this next attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 4 = 19
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Just wondering if I would still get the -4 from shooting into melee since I believe he is not directly threaten but first ranged character so unsure how that is played out.

Round 2 of 10 for Aspect of the Tiger.

Taking another deep breathe Arathorn then changes the animal aspects on both himself and Atticus. Atticus seems to bulk up a little in the shoulders as a result Aspect of the bull applied +2 Str for Atticus., and some faint striping can be seen on Arathorn along with maybe a light dusting of fur. Aspect of the Tiger on Arathorn +2 Dex Round 1 of 10. After this Arathorn again puts a half draw on his bow with it slightly raise waiting for the first barbarian to round the bend.

Arathorn steps slightly back from the edge to gain a clear line of the trail opening while readying an attack for the first enemy to clear the bend.

Seeing his shot go wide Arathorn attempts to calm himself while drawing another arrow and taking a shot at the orange barbarian.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Pretty sure that Atticus is still guarding at the trailhead so figure he would be delaying until the barbarians get closer.

Just curious how much time will have passed from when I cast Gravity Bow it is 1 min duration. Also, assuming the orange doesn't have any concealment from Arathorn if so will move the target to whichever one he can see with the least amount of cover.

Seeing them rush Arathorn draw back and takes a shot at the one most visible.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage (Gravity Bow): 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10
Damage (Regular): 1d8 ⇒ 4

Arathorn looks briefly at Hallimir and motions keep going but is unwilling to provide speak further considering the barbarians just ignored him. Before going back to watching around the rock for any of them to step into view.

Arathorn moves to get back in position to attack before casting Gravity Bow.

Round 1 of 10 and will keep track here for the duration assuming we are in combat and 1 minute = 10 rounds.

Speaking to his companions as he crosses to his new position.

Next one I see with a drawn sword is getting an arrow.

While miming punching Blane; Arathorn quickly takes a peek over the edge and seeing weapons drawn. He approaches the edge with his bow half drawn though not picking out a target yet.

Hold right there!

Attempting to determine if they were tracking us to be on the trail along with any hostility.

Sense motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

[ooc]Welp that failed though think we are going sans plan beyond holding the high ground since Blane played the bracelet correctly.

Arathorn moves quickly forward to Hallimir.

Not sure if taking 10 for stealth would work here giving me a value of 17 but figured would try that while moving up.

WhispersWe got company coming up the trail...Counted 3...Do you think we should fall back and fight them at the trailhead if they are hostile.

Could I tell if they are tracking us or just moving up the trail when I spotted them, and just out of curiosity should I be putting these in spoilers or since I was sharing with the group anyways it doesn't matter.
