Arrus's page

Would like to drink the Mistform before heading to statue room.

Hightened Longstrider, so good for 8 hours, never swapped to the new spell, I think the only meaningful difference is the lack of air trait.

Arrus points left "Lets circle around that way."

Happy to take a Mistform Elixir.

Arrus works on their longstrider wand after resting.

DC 20 Nature: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28

Arrus looks around for any sign of what took these people's souls.
[ooc]Wondering if there's any signs to Hunt Prey with

Arrus hunts red.
Free RK with nature +22. If no information gained, reroll with PFS Lore at +22

If that's at least a success we all get +1 circumstance on our next attack and +2 circumstance on our next defense vs it.

Arrus then fired.

pew: 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 23 + 1 = 43
Likely +1 from the Monster Hunter RK
Piercing+Precision+Fire+Force: 3d10 + 2 + 1 + 2d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 5) + 2 + 1 + (2, 3) + (4) + (3) = 25

Crit is double damage, 1d10 persistent fire and 1d8 persistent bleed. and DC 27 Fortitude save or be pushed 5 feet

Sorry, I was trying to ask if Incap helped my save result so I knew if I was slowed or not. Also I think the 27 missed me (and was 19 damage) and the 37 hit me (and was 16 damage) but 19 damage was noted on the tracker. So I think 16 from the strike and 11 from the poison = 27 damage or 149/176 which I think we agree on now.

Feeling himself starting to slow Arrus fires at Blue.

inspired crossbow vs Blue: 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 23 + 1 = 25
piercing+precsion+fire+force: 3d10 + 2 + 1 + 2d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 10) + 2 + 1 + (8, 2) + (5) + (1) = 33

Arrus then circles around while he reloads.
fort vs Poison: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36
Success = Crit Success

Arrus then shakes off the poison.

GM: I think you applied the 19 from the miss instead of the 16 from the hit.

Fort vs Venom: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26
Arrus cringes as he gets bitten.
Failure, is Incap helping?

I totally missed the difficult terrain, but fortunately as a ranger Arrus has:
Unimpeded Journey
Level 11
You move quickly through obstacles, whether they're tumbled stone or tangled undergrowth. You can ignore the effects of difficult terrain. As normal for ignoring difficult terrain, this also lets you treat the hindrances of greater difficult terrain as those of difficult terrain.

Also, to be clear I hunted and attacked Blue, and then moved to Red (potentially setting myself up for a penetrating shot next round.)

Arrus shouts "They're weak willed, but at least somewhat protected until severed."

Arrus stares down blue, trying to figure out what exactly it is.

Hunt Prey Blue (Free RK with Nature +22. If nothing is learned, immediately reroll with PFS Lore at +22) Would like to know about weakest save or potentially its shadowpact ability.
If at least a success we each gain a +1 circumstance bonus to each of our next attack roll against that prey and a +2 circumstance bonus either to our AC the next time the creature attacks us or to our next saving throws against an effect from that particular creature (whichever comes first.)

Then Arrus takes a shot.

Crossbow vs Blue: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (20) + 23 = 43
Potential +1 from Monster Hunter
piercing+precision+fire+force: 3d10 + 2 + 2d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 10, 9) + 2 + (1, 8) + (2) + (4) = 40
Double damage and 1d10 persistent fire and 1d8 persistent bleed. Will not push

Then Arrus reloads as he hustles directly under red, putting himself into danger this time.

I think since they are 3 sizes larger than me we can share space.

Arrus remembers who's really good at bypassing strange barriers pulls out a few old chronicles out his backpack and works though them, trying to find stories of what's worked in the past.

Pathfinder Lore(M): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40
Pathfinder Lore(M): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38
Pathfinder Lore(M): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37

If that lore doesn't work, I can roll Nature(M), at the same bonus.

Arrus circles around to help Astrid out, as they reload/regrip their crossbow before firing point blank.

Inspired Crossbow: 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 23 + 1 = 29
Inspired Piercing+Precision+fire+force: 3d10 + 2 + 1 + 2d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 10, 1) + 2 + 1 + (2, 4) + (5) + (5) = 31

Arrus then reloads again but holds his ground.

Curious about lowest save.

Arrus darts back down as he reloads, taking a shot at the giant.

Courageous Shot: 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 23 + 1 = 41
Piercing+Precision+Fire+Force: 3d10 + 2 + 1 + 2d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (7, 3, 4) + 2 + 1 + (1, 4) + (1) + (2) = 25

There Arrus takes a hand off his crossbow to patch up Lydia.

Battle Medicine DC 20: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32

Healing for Lydia: 4d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 5, 2, 7) + 10 = 32

Running Reload, strike, battle medicine.

Arrus follows up by hunting, reloading and firing.

Free RK. Always Nature +22, if no information gained, reroll with PFS lore at +22. If at least a success we each get +1 for our next attack against Gruasha and +2 for each of our next defenses against her.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 23 + 1 = 30
+1 to hit if RK successful.
pierincg+precision+fire+force: 3d10 + 2 + 1 + 2d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (10, 9, 2) + 2 + 1 + (5, 5) + (2) + (6) = 42

Arrus reloads and takes another shot at pink.

Inspired Crossbow: 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 23 + 1 = 41
Piercing+Precision+Fire+Force: 3d10 + 2 + 1 + 2d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4) + 2 + 1 + (8, 7) + (3) + (5) = 37

On Crit: Double Damage, 1d10 persistent Fire, 1d8 persistent Bleed, Fort DC 27 or be pushed 5 feet.

Arrus hunts pink, reloads and fires, happy with his current position.

Free RK on Pink (Always Nature +22, if that learns nothing, PFS lore at +22. If that's at least a success, we all get +1 to hit and +2 defense the first time each comes up vs pink.

inspired crossbow vs Pink: 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 23 + 1 = 28
Possible +1 from above
inspired piercing+Precision+Fire+Force: 3d10 + 2 + 1 + 2d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (10, 3, 2) + 2 + 1 + (3, 6) + (2) + (2) = 31

Hunt, Reload, Strike

I think the doorknob on weapon applies dazzle on any crit. It's quite strong

Arrus circles around, reloading as he goes and trying to get the high ground.

From there he empowers his weapon and fires again at Barney.

Crossbow vs Purple Barney: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36
piercing+fire+force+Precision: 3d10 + 2 + 6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d8 ⇒ (3, 10, 8) + 2 + 6 + (5) + (4) + (2, 3) = 43

Running Reload, Gravity Weapon, Strike

I didn't go through everybody's posts to check but don't forget that, everybody gets +1 to hit and +2 defense the first time they would apply vs purple.

Arrus shouts "Look out!"
As a reminder you all get a +2 Circumstance bonus to your first save or AC vs Purple (Which would be this trample save) from Monster Warden/Master Monster Hunter.

Reflex: 1d20 + 24 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 24 + 2 = 35
Arrus treats successes on Reflex as Crits

Arrus leaps over the charging dino.

My apologies, I used the Bow Crit (Immobilize) in the first fight having never updated my notes that crossbows get their own crit now (bleed).

I've corrected my notes and should have it right going forward here. (I even typed this combat's post out with immobilize to start with before I happened to notice when double checking the Arbalest range)

Arrus squints and looks across the battlefield and hunts the blue Barney dino in the back.

Free RK w/ Nature at +22. If that learns nothing, reroll with Pathfinder society lore at +22
If its on my list I get +4 to RK it
On at least a success my allies each get a +1 circumstance bonus to our next attacks against Blue, and +2 circumstance for each of us to either AC or saving throw the first time blue attacks each of us.

If that was successful Arrus will use Diverse Recognition to also attempt to ID yellow (RK w/ Nature at +22. If that learns nothing, reroll with Pathfinder society lore at +22)

Arrus then fires a Penetrating Shot at Blue Barney (range 110), finding a nice soft fleshy spot of yellow to fire though.

Crossbow vs Blue Barney: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (19) + 23 = 42
Piercing+fire+force+Precision: 3d10 + 2 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d8 ⇒ (8, 10, 3) + 2 + (1) + (2) + (4, 1) = 31

Ignoring the lesser cover from yellow. If that's a hit, applying damage to yellow as well. On Crit: double damage & 1d10 persistent fire & 1d8+2 persistent bleed. (I think yellow only gets the damage (so no push)

Arris means no permenant/lethal harm to the dinos.

Nature: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31

Arrus looks at the salve and speaks quietly to his fellow Pathfinders "Applying it allows for nonlethal fights if we go that direction."

I don't have an especially strong opinion, just a minor preference and a desire to keep the game going.

Any time to treat wounds/refocus etc?

Arrus looks around "I think dropping down is a better bet for us, but I'm open to opinions."

Arrus continues down to the 3rd cannon and fires at white.

Cannon vs White: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (9) + 23 = 32
cannon damage: 15d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 6, 1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 6, 4) = 49

Arrus moves down to the next cannon and fires at pink.

Cannon vs Pink: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (18) + 23 = 41
cannon damage: 15d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 4, 1, 3, 5, 4, 4, 2, 5, 3, 1, 5, 6) = 51

Hmm... I misunderstood then. I thought it was for every turn for some reason. Disregard the requests for a save.

On a failure, it's a save every round for a minute vs being slowed 1 each round. On a success it only happens for 1 round. (On a crit success it's no effect and a crit fail is auto slowed for the full minute). It's certainty a strangely worded spell and you're not the first to be tripped up by it.

I agree on how Wave of Despair works. Arrus succeeded on the initial save here and then lost an action on his turn here.
Quinoline made the initial save here and the 1 round of slow for their next round here
Now it's several rounds after that and the Tracker lists saves for Arrus and Quinoline again vs slow on Wave of Despair, but I don't see a new one cast. I am trying to figure out if the tracker has a copy paste error for needing those saves on the most recent post, or if that's a save for a new wave of despair that I'm not picking up out of the narrative or something else entirely.

Is this a new Wave of Despair, or a copy/paste issue?

Arrus hunts red and fires a cannon.

cannoning vs Red: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (10) + 23 = 33
damage+Precision: 15d6 + 2d8 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 1, 2, 2, 6, 1, 6, 5, 2, 3, 5, 5, 5) + (7, 5) = 64

Will vs Slowed 1 DC 31: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30

It's close by Arrus takes a moment to wipe the tears from his eyes.

I'm assuming the Balistas on the map are the cannons.

Arrus makes for a cannon as he reloads, firing another shot at green.

1d20 + 23 ⇒ (12) + 23 = 35
piercing+fire+force+precision: 3d10 + 2 + 6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d8 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) + 2 + 6 + (4) + (6) + (4, 4) = 39

Crit is double damage, and 1d10 persistent fire and if the target of the critical hit is adjacent to a surface, it gets stuck to that surface by the missile. The target is immobilized and must spend an Interact action to attempt a DC 10 Athletics check to pull the missile free; it can't move from its space until it succeeds. The creature doesn't become stuck if it is incorporeal, is liquid (like a water elemental or some oozes), or could otherwise escape without effort. {Will not push with impactful here}

(Running Reload(Stride/Reload)/Strike/Slowed 1)

Will vs Despair: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38

A few tears build up behind Arrus's eyes, but he mostly holds them back.

Shocked at the sudden appearance of adjacent creatures Arrus looks at green, trying to learn more.

Hunt Prey Green, free RK w/ Nature at +22. If that learns nothing, reroll with Pathfinder society lore at +22
If its on my list I get +4 to RK it

If RK is at least a success. Each of us gains a +1 circumstance to our next attack against red and a +2 circumstance bonus to each of our first AC or saving throw vs Red.

---

Assuming he doesn't learn anything that makes this a bad idea...

Arrus then casts gravity weapon and fires at green.

Probably add 1 to attack roll from Monster Hunter above
crossbow at Green: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (15) + 23 = 38
piercing+fire+force+precision: 3d10 + 2 + 6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d8 ⇒ (5, 4, 6) + 2 + 6 + (3) + (2) + (8, 1) = 37

I have 4 glyphs and a campaign coin.

Trick Magic Item DC 20: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29

Arrus makes use of his wand of longstrider(2) for faster speed today.

Arrus looks around, worried about missing important details in the mist.

ran a session this morning and have plans this evening. started reading through those mythic rules and have mostly picked what im doing.

Leaning towards Echoes of Swords + Godspeed to synergize with it. mythic strikes seems interesting but we already have 2x of it so im not sure if lydia needs it? hard to say. will think on this and post tomorrow morning

I think we get all of

Correct the Story, Godspeed, Prescience, Rewrite Fare, Summon Mythic Power.

And then either Mythic Caster or Mythic Strike

Sorry, it's the Scrollmaster Dedication which increases the bonus to +4. (Which Arrus has)

Also, if I can't remember important mission details and am too lazy to read back in the thread I can ask. :P

Arrus takes the Darkvision elixir along with a Scroll of Truesight for his Pathfinder Provisions.

Arrus then eats one of Urwal's berries and feels funny.

Arrus will take Echoes of the Scrolls and Mythic Strike

Arrus has 4-11 with escaping on the Gale's Claw. But not 6-02 or 6-07

Arrus nods acknowledging Sorrina's gratitude.

I do have to do the work of keeping a list, and have to successfulyl ID the. It's normally +2 to future checks to ID them, but +4 with the Pathfinder Agent dedication (which Arrus has)

Arrus nods to Lydia.

Arrus shrugs and barely manages to suppress a grin, "Hiding behind that rock."

Arrus will point out Urwal.

Arrus laughs "Of course, sorry I was too busy trying to figure out why Urwal was hiding behind that rock, it;s not like we can't see him."

Arrus also has thorough reports, and gets +4 to ID creatures he's already IDed in the past.

List is in profile, but also spoiled here.

Arrus keeps his eyes open Search

Also not that it ever matters but thanks to Trackless Steps, Arrus is always covering tracks in natural terrain, making the minimum DC to track us 32

Search: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (10) + 22 = 32

Arrus shakes his head to Lydia's question and then looks around. "I'm not even sure I know any of you."

As the very lightly bearded man, with fine but well worn leather gear bows ever so slightly and introduces himself "Arrus. Arrus Lionus here."

Pirate Rob here, Brining Arrus Lionius, Taldan extremely minor nobility.

I added some notes in macros, here's a more full explanation:

Arrus has some fun Recall Knowledge shenanigans.

When Arrus Hunts Prey, he gets a free recall knowledge thanks to Monster Hunter. Combined with Monster Warden and Master Monster Hunter Arrus can roll Nature (+22 M) to ID any creature, and on at least a success provides each member of the party with a +1 circumstance bonus on their next attack against the target as well as a +2 circumstance bonus to their next save/AC (whichever comes first) vs the creature.

Additionally thanks to

Kreighton's Cognitive Crossover, if Arrus fails to learn anything with a PFS lore (Also +22 M) or Nature check, he immediately reattempts the check with the other skill.

Finally Diverse Recognition lets Arrus recall knowledge about an additional creature whenever he successfully recalls knowledge about a creature he can see. (No hunt benefits, but helpful when trying to learn about a bunch of creatures quickly)

Arrus shoots at yellow.

pew vs yellow: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24
piercing+precision+fire: 2d10 + 4 + 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (10, 3) + 4 + (2) + (4) = 23

Arrus then draws a new alchemist fire and loads it into his crossbow.

Will 26: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31
will 22: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

Arrus feels the violence but with no adjacent targets stares in anger at the Skelm.

Arrus hunts yellow and fires.

Free RK with hunt +18 Nature/PFS Lore (Kreighton's Cognitive Crossover) or +14 any other RK skills. On a crit +1 to all of our next attack/save/AC vs Yellow.

pew: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26
piercing+precision+fire: 2d10 + 4 + 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (7, 1) + 4 + (2) + (3) = 17

Arrus then moves into flank with Astrid as he once again reloads.

If Green is already down will move to NW of yellow.

Arrus reloads as he moves closer to Jiki, pausing for a moment to fire at Bremix.

crossbow vs Bremix (nonlethal: 1d20 + 18 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 18 - 2 = 21
Piercing+Precisionfire: 2d10 + 4 + 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 4 + (2) + (3) = 18

Afterwhich he continues the trek ready to heal him next round if Dranald doesn't get to him immediately.

Arrus stands up and reloads his crossbow as he makes his way back ou of the melee.

Then he takes a shot a Bremix, trying to knock him out.

crossbow vs Bremix (nonlethal): 1d20 + 18 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 18 - 2 = 31
Piercing+Precisionfire (NL): 2d10 + 4 + 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 + (1) + (6) = 16

Stand, Running Reload, Strike
