Arush Al-Fasi's page

I'll take the first option, with experience and money.

Corruption in the courts is the greatest corruption of civilization, Arush quietly whispers a quote from her paladin code, after which she agrees to any testimony required from her.

I think now is the right time to finish .)

If "time is of the essence" then of course my character is for a speedy return too. Thanks!

My respects to all those gathered. My colleagues and I were hired to deal with the situation that brought us all to this meeting today. Except for one of us, we are not citizens of this country and I think that's partly why we were brought in to investigate. Our opinion is impartial.

Then Arush describes in detail the places we visited and consistently shows the evidence, not directly pointing to the culprit, but giving members of Parliament to draw conclusions. She points to the emblems found in several places, all the notes and so on. She reproduces the oral testimonies of eyewitnesses (the cultist leader and that druid, for example) and the descriptions they gave.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44

We have no reason to believe that if we go to the Megator, then this minister will have time to escape or, for example, something very bad will happen, right? If we have time, then go there, if not, then rather to the city to denounce the criminal.

To Megator Facient then. Let's put an end to atrocities at all levels. First we will clean up all this vile manufacture and then we will go after the corrupt minister.

So, there's also a seal. Let me think about it. These lines, hmm...
Nobility: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27

Yeah, I know. Maybe this will be enough, but also there is an obvious auto-leveling of skills DC in PFS. Tier 1-5: with 25 at knowledge local, you know who the main bandit in the city is, where his lair is and how often he goes to visit his mom. Tier 15+: with 25 at knowledge local you barely remember that Oppara is the capital of Taldor ))

Local: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21

Hmm. Arush looks thoughtfully at the gun. I've always preferred bows. I don't know anything about it.

Thank you both .)

Arush politely introduces his comrades, after which he carefully clarifies by whom he was hired and what is included in his duties.

Get well! Games are not the main thing, but we will be here .)

I'm here, everything's fine. Other games continue as usual, so I'm on this site every day .)

+1, no rush, take your time.

Arush lowers the bow and removes the arrow from the string. Greetings to you. We don't want to hurt you. Just travelers who are exploring this place and looking for their missing friends as well for one criminal, which you clearly are not. She obviously means that corrupt minister, it seems to find out who it is and find evidence becomes a fix idea for her. We won't hurt you if you don't attack us first. I am Arush. And you? What's your name, what are you doing here? Her voice sounds calm, reasonable and firm. She does not fawn over this creature, feeling her strength and the importance of her mission, but also does not wish him harm.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44

Arush puts an arrow on the string and waits for Ranalus to use his priestly powers to look through the door.
If not, well, let's go the usual way.

+1 Seeking Merciful Composite Longbow | Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 171d8 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 10 + (1) = 14

+1 Seeking Merciful Composite Longbow | Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d8 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 10 + (6) = 22

"Where does the scorpion come from?", Arush thinks lazily and cannot pierce the shell of this creature with an arrow in any way.

+1 upstairs

Acturus, I like your idea of releasing these creatures into the wild. I don't want to offend animals when it can be avoided, even if they are magical animals. Perhaps they could have been lured out by some kind of illusion? Some... Fleeing meat... Arush leaves her teammates to think about it, and she goes to open all the doors so that the creatures can get out into the wild.

Hey guys! I'm back, I've dealt with most of the most vital things that have accumulated over the two weeks of my absence, and I'm going back to the games (by the way, the retreat was amazing!). As I expected, there are several hundred messages waiting for me on the forum, which I will read smoothly. The deadline for returning to absolutely all games is Saturday. I hug everyone! See you in gameplay thread .)

Hello everyone!

I'm going away for two weeks, and I'll be without internet at all. This is a yoga and meditation retreat with complete disconnection from the outside world. I will be in touch from May 15, I will start playing from about the 16th. I tried to reduce the number of games to a minimum (without starting to play new oneshots for some time), with such an eye that after returning I only needed to read a couple of hundred posts, and not around a thousand, as it could be with my usual 15+ games at the same time. So I think I'll switch back on quickly!

Don't lose me, I will definitely come back and continue playing!

PS Feel free to bot Arush ;)
Formulas, as always, are in his character sheet.

See you.

Well. There is one proof, but more is needed. Moving on? If there are no objections, then Arush goes to the next big doors in the courtyard.

Knowledge Nobility: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32 - noble’s seal

Arush carefully studies the magazine, and then, after all the comrades have also familiarized themselves with its contents, very carefully puts it away in her belongings.

We will definitely find out who is behind all this and bring him to the law according to Alkenstar customs.

Arush silently covers the backs of her comrades with a bow at the ready. I've been here all this time, I just don't see much use for my skills .)

Impressive! Arush nods and blesses her bow.

Divine Bond: Speed property, 14 min.

Do not cast anything! It's deadly in this storm!, tiefling shouts as she runs.

If this effect can be understood by spellcraft, then Arush can understand what it is (+20).

Arush looks around for a few seconds, squinting his eyes. Great idea, Arcturus, LET's RUN.

If it's possible to run in a straight line here, then I'll do it.

1d100 ⇒ 28

No problem at all. I don't think we need to spend any more energy and attention on this. Just my expectations of the game and your manner of GMing don't match perfectly, but it happens and it's normal. Let's keep playing! .)

I had no reason to open the map until the fight started. And you didn't spoil us too much with illustrations earlier, so there was no reason to expect that there would be something else besides circles of different colors.

Done.

GM Redelia, I have a request to you to give more descriptions of what we meet, especially places and NPCs. For example, the woman in the last encounter - it's still completely unclear what she looked like (was she beautiful or creepy mutant? not to mention her outfit or her hair color...). Illustrations from the scenario or just pictures from the Internet that are suitable in your opinion will also work instead of text descriptions, if it's more convenient for you. Anything to help immersion and image creation .) Thank you in advance!

I'm here, ready to start on Monday. I'll level up by this time.

Arush will offer to meet the woman in a week at the agreed place, and if one of them does not work out, she will leave her contacts. The letter will definitely find the addressee. The world is a much better place than you've seen before. I'd like to show you this.

And now Arush is ready to find that minister and bring him to justice.

Yep, I'm in.

We will bring your employer to justice. Which means you'll be out of a job. Where will you go next? What do you want to do? Arush is looking for a way to show Metruni a different world and other possibilities in life besides worshipping the Demon Lord in a mine forgotten by the gods. Perhaps when she sees more good and beautiful things in the world, she will find other ways for herself?

Arush listens to the woman's story with understanding (by the way, what is her name? Arush will definitely ask for the name in the conversation). Every tiefling experiences something similar and not everyone copes. Despite the fact that as a paladin, she can only blame the connection with the Demon Lord, but as a person with a similar fate... The world is a very complicated thing...

Nobility: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30

When Arush hears about the minister, she squints and her eyes seem to darken a little. A sure sign that she's angry. Corruption in the courts is the greatest corruption of civilization, she softly recites a quote from her paladin code. She does not continue the thought, but this in itself sounds weighty and menacing.

What's your name? I'm Arush Al-Fasi. My parents once sent me to an orphanage in another country, because they did not want to disgrace their noble family with a fiendish spawn. So despite my middle eastern name, I grew up in Ustalav... Very far from the motherland and parents. As you can see, I know what rejection is. But I believe that this is a chance to develop into something more. A chance that those whose life is much simpler do not get. In luxury and love, you don't think about anything else, as soon as you keep it. Having lost everything, you gain freedom.

Arush tells all this to the woman, arranging a space for meditation: literally a few pillows against the wall to make it comfortable to sit, incense with a sweet breath, etc.

Erecura teaches that there is a hidden potential in each of us to see the past and the future. We don't need other people's answers, whether they are sorcerers, sages or even gods... We can find them in ourselves.

Tiefling invites her to sit down, and then says in a very serious voice, looking into her eyes:

The one who lives in time receives the timeless. The one who lives in eternity receives the eternal.

Then Arush invites the woman to close her eyes and conducts a ritual: guided meditation, giving her to see her future, to which she is going now and the future she really wants...

Not magic, just meditation with deep immersion and elements of psychotherapy.

Religion?: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29 some check of how well Arush managed

Arush raises his eyebrows in surprise.

Have these creatures seen so little kindness that even such simple words, spoken so unconvincingly, managed to soften their hearts?

I'll be honest, I can't appreciate your work. But I'm glad to meet someone here who is ready to talk, instead of immediately grabbing a sword. I have a suggestion. You've already participated in your Demon Lord's rituals many times. Why don't you take part in the ritual of the Eternal Rose, goddess of love and art OR the Queen of Dis, the second circle of Hell? I'm not suggesting that you reject Haagenti right away, but why not try something new?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44

Answering your question OOC, I want 1) to get as much information from her as possible and 2) give her a chance for redemption. So far, I've started with the second point. I have no goal to change her radically in one conversation, but I have a goal to give her a new experience that can become the seed that will rise in her mind over time... Although of course the maximum program is an Acturus or Ranalus who casts Atonement spell on her.

...After the fight, Arush will approach Ranalus and return to the conversation. I apologize. I hope we'll find time at the campfire sometime so that you can tell us all more about your faith and the ways of Count Ranalc.

Arush, who had some suspicions about this whole company from the very beginning, sighs. We will not accept your ritual. But there are other ways, another world. There is a path of shadows and betrayal of Count Ralnac. There is a path of Shelyn's beauty and creativity. There is a path of prediction and the noble power of my goddess Erecura. We could show you these paths... any of them... if you are ready to change your life and see something more than these tunnels. Before your death, she mentally adds. But the voice still sounds convincing and calm.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24

However, deep down, Arush does not believe her words. These are demon cultists, they will fight and die here.

They say it was Haagenti who helped invent firearms. However, perhaps this is a lie. Arush contemplates the vile altar thoughtfully. But the deeper we go, the more clearly the face of evil emerges.

Arush eats a biscuit with pleasure and sincerely congratulates Arcturus on the holiday, but refuses a cigar from Rogar. She is ready to move on, exploring these strange mines, deadly for most of the creatures living on Golarion. If we don't clean this place, probably no one will.

____

After Slash gives the signal that everything is calm, Arush will go inside and inspect the altar.

To which deity is it dedicated?
Religion: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27
Are there traps?
Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

No problem! No one seems to have noticed it .) So let's assume that this was planned - the encounter looks pretty easy anyway.

> @Arush - I assume that since we have told you it is a construct you have disabled Merciful on your bow?

In general, Arush shot Yellow, as it is written in my post ("Full Attack vs Yellow"). I assumed it was an ogre. But I don't mind if she helped destroy the retriever, as GM decided.

Surprise - Cast Divine Bond (Holy Flaming)
1 Round - 5ft step & Full Attack vs Yellow

Arush offers a short prayer to her goddess and unleashes a stream of arrows at the enemies they have been considering for so long.

No cover from nearby allies

I don't have an Arcana, but there are definitely characters here who will take this check. I'm waiting for them. However, I think we can just attack.

> Any ideas to keep this fun?
Skip it? If the players have found such an easy way to solve the problem, then it's already fun.

Arush sighs. Forced evil. You agree to it once, twice, three times. You just do things to make the world a better place. For the good of the people... And then you find out that you're kind of a villain and that's when the paladins and inquisitors come for you...

Tiefling's eyes are filled with sadness, intelligence and understanding.

And yet you're right. Either we spend time and effort on his re-education, or let Ranalus do what he says.

I agree, plus I don't want to waste time on this again.

Arush rushes first and shoots an arrow at the leader.

+1 Seeking Merciful Composite Longbow + Holy Flaming | Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 291d8 + 10 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 10 + (1) + (6, 1) + (3) = 26
