Ashnak Ivarson's page

The missionary nods and grins. "Onward to the tower then!"

Ashnak wakes rested and is all ready to go after his morning prayers. The young half-orc is almost bouncing with excitement to be in the middle of a Pathfinder mission. "So where do we go first? Do we see about our petrified friend, or the mysterious ship?"

Spells Memorized
Cantrips: Stabalize,Detect Magic, Light, Know Direction, Daze
1st Level: Heal, Heal, Heal, Burning Hands, Bless

That sounds like a good idea, let's retire to the lodge for the night.

How much damage did we take with those save results? Also I am not too familiar with haunts. So ICly all we need to do is to turn it in to the lodge so they get the word out then?

Ashnak nods in understanding and sheath his shield and scimitar and addresses the house from the porch with his hly symbol aloft. "Be at peace restless spirits, the Dawnflower has shone on your plight. All shall know of those who have bound you here!"

After a brief respectfull pause he walks down to the yard and stretches with a yawn. "I think I have had enough excitement for one day! What do you say we find an inn and rest our heads? A full meal, some time to record our findings, and a bed sounds like heaven. We can check out the statue and the ship tomorrow."

Ashnak jumps at the sudden clawing and tries to interpose his shield out of reflex.

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Using A Hero point to reroll.
Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

He thinks for a moment as they have cleared the main floor but have found not further doors or stairs down. He steps outside to clear his head and reflect on what he knows about hauntings like this and how to alleviate them and flips through the books/notes he has for advice.

Recall Knowledge-Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 + any bonus for the documents.

Ashnak opens the south door and then others that have not been opened yet and gives each room a quick search before moving to the next unexplored one.

Ok what do we learn from reading them?

Ignore the last post please. That for another game.

Ashnak finishes skimming the prayer guide and joins Roara. He opens the door to the south. "I didn't see anything about the history of this place in the prayer book, have you had any luck? Places are not this creepy without a reason."

Ashnak smiles and gestures towards the prayer book as the gnome approaches where he and her familiar are peeking through the western doorway. "Would you mind if I take a look at that? I would like to compare it against the prayers to The Dawnflower for putting the dead to rest as well." He tries not to let himself get distracted by the thoughts of other sites that need to be checked and focus on this one first. The thoughts about corporeal undead he can sink his scimitar into are somehow comforting after dealing with the wispy shadows hours earlier.

Ashnak follow the glowing cat as he looks around the room hoping for something usable to give them a clue.

Ashnak looks through the debris before turning his attention to the stuck door. He glances down at the gnome and her 'cat' and grins."Would you happen to have a crowbar?" After her answer her will attempt to force the door open. The half-orc grunt in effort as he strains against the old wood.
Athletics (-2 without crowbar): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

The double doors just inside from the solarium and north. I do not have edit access to the map.

Isn't that the room we are already in? I am not seeing any changes in the map slide.

Ashnak will open the northernmost down by the solarium as they look for a way down.

Ashnak looks around and nods to the others. "What a mess, have any of you spotted anyways down stairs yet or any hints as to what went on here?"

He continues his search with shield readied looking for a way down.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Ashnak draws his scimitar and points down at the floor towards where the sound is coming from. "Be careful we are not alone..."and then louder trying to sound cheerful,"Hello is anyone home?"

Ashnak heads up the stairs to get a better look around the solarium. He sifts through the rubble to see if he can find anything of use.
Perceptions (Search): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

"Have you turned anything up? Rora?

I am!

The half-orc give an appreciative shudder and thanks for the stories. He enjoys the food and shares what he learned with the rest of the party. "So there really were undead there, and may still be. It warms my heart that we get to make sure that demolishing the house will be safe for the city. Who knows what else we might find?"

Diplomacy to Gather Information: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Ashnak happily chats up a couple of street vendors about the haunted house while grabbing some food and drink for the party. "I know you hear all the best stories around here. What is the best tale you have about that old haunted house?"

I hope everyone had great holidays!

Ashnak gives a tusked grin and before checking each assistant and getting their names and complimenting them on their bravery.

"So what's next? Can we make it to the haunted house fairly quickly? That investigation would be best at night I would think."

Ashnak smiles and nods to the others."I am Ashnak and we followed a rumor that you were working with some dangerous magics. We came to offer our assistance as Pathfinders. Ee are always looking for more allies and knowledge."

Ashnak sheaths his scimitar and lets out a breath. He gives a tusked grin to Tavvar and her colleagues."Thank the Dawnflower we were in time! Are you alright?"

Ashnak grunts out a curse when he feels some of his life force wither away. He lets his shield drop to the ground and snatches the component pouch from his bandolier. A well practiced litany of prayer spills from his lips.

0 Action: Dropping shield.
1-3 Actions: 3 action casting of Heal to reach all targets in 30'. Healing living targets, harming undead. DC 15 Fortitude Save

Heal: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Melee Attack, Scimitar, Magic Weapon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

Ashnak bellows a challenge and steps up to threaten two of the shadows before taking a slice at one.

Is the furniture difficult terrain? Or is it all 'open' as far as movement goes?

Can I catch 2 or 3 of the shadows in a 15' cone without hitting one of the assistants?

Ashnak tops the steps looking around quickly to find to source of the scream.

Perception if needed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Ashnak shakes his head as if to clear it and advances up the stairs with his shield raised. The half-orc is still quite disturbed by the shadows. "H-hello? Tavvar? Are you alright up there?" He calls as he tops the stairs.

Ashnak's eyes go wide as he sees the horrific and chaotic shadowplay.
His mind races as he tries to figure out what is happening and he shouts out. "We are under attack! The shadows!"
Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Occult/Arcana: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
He draws his scimitar and blesses it (casting magic weapon) and takes a defensive stance to interpose himself between the shadow beasts and fleeing shadow patrons.

"Let's split up to find her. Who wants to check these rooms?"He gestures at the offices." I will head up to the third floor."
Ashnak follows Araganz and then heads up the sweeping stairway.

"Thank you and Goddess Bless"Dopplers as the young missionary beats feet to catch up to the Gnome. He hopes they make it their on time.

No worries! Life happens and we will be here when you are able to post.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Ashnak grins at Requiem's antics and hums along. He breaks off here and there asking around politely and chatting a few of the devout Serenraens. "I hear there may be a rather curious researcher who needs an understanding ear. Do you know where I can find them?"

Ashnak gives a toothy grin as he finishes his punch in a single gulp. "Oh wow not one, but four tasks! One can never have enough friends so I say we go help out that scholar! While we are there we may be able to find out more about the haunted house or the ship."He pauses for a moment and scratches his head."I don't think I caught their name, did any of you?"

Ashnak gladly swaps gossip about what is trading among his kin here in Absalom and what is curretnly in demand.

LORE, Absalom: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Ashnak is chattering excitedly to his fellow initiates. As he hails from Absolom he is more than a bit starstruck at this point as it dawns on him just how many important pathfinders are freely mingling about the party.

After introductions and small talk he brings up unusual but effective battlefield medicine techniques that have come about from working with less socially accepted races.

Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Ashnak nods to Fola and in agreement with Roara."I am happy to assist anyone in need. Diversity only strengthens society.

He fills and passes out cups of punch to the others near him and pc's as he listens to Gorm's and Ambros' small talk before chiming in about about his own participation in Orcish sports and using it as a basis for teaching lessons about human culture and rules.

Society: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Ashnak’s smile turns into an excited grin upon hearing Fola’s name. His eyes widen in recognition of the Chelaxian and her achievements and he digs in his memory. Hmm think fast, what would interest her? Goblin drinking songs, nah, orcish sports, no not intellectual enough. Oh! I got it -- oral legends of goblin tribes, ancient (to goblins) myths and their traditional shamanism, preferably not involving horses.He rubs the holy symbol around his neck and mutters a brief prayer as he does his best to recall it all accurately.
Casting Guidance +1 to a skill check
Occultism Check untrained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Religion Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
The tattooed and branded half-orc steps up with the group and jovially joins in the small talk, shake hands and perform introductions. ”Hello! Hello! May the light of the Dawnflower brighten your days. Ashnak Ivarson at your service. You must be Zarta Dralneen, thank you so much for your work preserving old myths and tales. I hope my efforts at transcribing the Embersong Goblin’s oldest traditions can help that in some small way.”
Diplomacy, Make An Impression: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Let's get ready to rumble!

Do we still have a spot open?

Yes, I believe we still have a spot open.

Great! My wife would like to give 2E a try.

Do we still have a spot open?

No worries. This just causes the anticipation to grow even more!

@Ashnak: I did look over your character and everything looked good. (See post from Sunday).

Nox asked me to look over their character as well, which is the character response you replied to.

Whoops sorry!

I am new as well, will you check my character?

Ok added!

@Gimble please review my character to see if I need to update anything.

It seems your missing some stats. If I'm not mistaken, you have the following ability scores:

STR 8 (-1)
DEX 14 (+2)
CON 10 (+0)
INT 16 (+3)
WIS 12 (+1)
CHA 10 (+0)

Your bonuses should total up to +9 and they only total +5. I think you missed the extra 4 boosts you get. See Core Rulebook page 26, Step 6 2nd bullet-point.

Then, apply four more ability boosts to your character's ability scores, choosing a different ability score for each and increasing that ability score by 2.

Again, take a look at the Pathfinder Training link above. It either gets you some extra downtime or an extra item or two per scenario. It's worth looking into.

That is a different character. This is the 2e one

Sunlight glints blightly off a small silver visage Sarenrae as it rocks on the weathered half-orc's chest. Ashnak excitedly shifts from foot to foot as he waits outside of the Grand Lodge and glances around curiously to take in all of the sights. The well-tailored clothes and fresh soap at odds with the last few months of his life out on the plains among his extended family.
