Not to derail things, but the skill Intimidate says:

Demoralize: You can use this skill to cause an opponent to become shaken for a number of rounds. The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target's Hit Dice + the target's Wisdom modifier. If you are successful, the target is shaken for 1 round. This duration increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat the DC. You can only threaten an opponent in this way if they are within 30 feet and can clearly see and hear you. Using demoralize on the same creature only extends the duration; it does not create a stronger fear condition.

Plus, the Dazzling Display feat says

Benefit: While wielding the weapon in which you have Weapon Focus, you can perform a bewildering show of prowess as a full-round action. Make an Intimidate check to demoralize all foes within 30 feet who can see your display.

Ashok moves into the flank with Goggh and then attacks him.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37
Damage Roll: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Confirmation Roll: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23
Critical Damage: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

As this is the one that I studied previously, I am going to use Kirin Strike as a swift action to deal it double my int, or 10, damage.

Excellent

"Don't walk away from me!" says Ashok as the troll moves away.

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24
1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Ashok stands his ground as the troll surges forward.

Fighting defensively plus swift action to Id him using Kirin Style. AC is now 23.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 161d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage Rolls: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Are both the trolls dead?

"Okay, I tried."

Ashok will drop into a fighting style, step up, and attack the troll that tried to grapple him.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 191d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Damage Rolls: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 61d3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Trolls, yes. I think I still had the last encounter on the brain. Did we determine the enhancement bonus on the AOMF and the bracers? Not that I'm going to need it in about a game round or anything.

Did the Minotaurs respond at all to me above?

"Were those hounds I heard back there?" asks the Half-Orcish scholar.

Let's say I did, that way we don't have to in-know the knowledge I gave people. Besides, Ashok is curious.

Okay, so I moved myself up to the point where I can see the trolls, since I only have 60' darkvision. Since they aren't immediately trying to murder me, I am going to take a gamble.

As Ashok moves forward, he will say to the group in common: "They look like Ice Trolls. Acid and Fire are needed to permanently slay them. I am going to try talking to them, however, to see if we can pass by without a fight."

Turning back to the trolls, Ashok will say

Towards the Trolls, so I can identify them.

Ashok will sneak up and try to see what is coming.

Knowledge (Local): 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (14) + 31 = 45

Mainly would want to know Special Attacks, Special Defenses, and then Special abilities (basically anything that doesn't fit in the above two categories) in that order.

"I agree, let's get moving."

"Thank you both. That hurt, but I will live."

"If no one minds, I would like to wear the amulet. If it can help enhance my unarmed combat capability, it would be well worth it."

BTW, I totally misspoke earlier since I'm still learning the class. I *can* identify magic items, without needing detect magic, but I think I would need spellcraft to do that. Something to invest in when we level.

As Alyln approaches, Ashok will nod, clearly in acquiesience. "Thank you" he says "I would hate for it to get septic."

"Before I start tending this wound, does anyone have magical healing that they wouldn't mind sparing?"

Ashok will break the arrow, then pull it out of his leg with a wince. Taking the arrowhead with part of the shaft, he will Stab the Minotaur with it.

Attack with improvised weapon: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 13 - 4 = 29
Damage Roll (I figure it would probably be like a dagger: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Confirmation Roll: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 13 - 4 = 20
Damage Roll: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Since I triggered the combat, I posted a surprise round.

Sorry, I thought we had started combat. I can't actually activate my stance outside of combat, but I don't mind stepping around the corner to set it off. So assume that I step around the corner and activate my stance (since I couldn't have made the check anyway, as both activating the stance and the knowledge checks are swift actions).

Ashok will move around the corner, focus himself for a moment, and Identify the beast. Activating Kirin Style.

Knowledge (anything but local): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 25
Knowledge (Local): 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (8) + 31 = 39

Assuming I identify the minotaur, That will give me +2 to save vs. his attacks and a +2 dodge bonus to AC vs. his AoOs. That cost me my entire turn.

Ashok is still a virgin, and not all that good at talking to women, or people in general. He is intrigued by interpersonal relationships, but he only shallowly touches on them. There was a human bard in his old adventurering group that liked to tease him (not meanly, but in a kind sort of way), so he's a bit used to being around attractive women, but he still ends up feeling flustered when not talking about something he's learned.

Also, I did indeed see the map.

We do have some interesting character dynamics.

"Alas, knowledge of spellcasting is the one knowledge I've never had any capacity with. It's a shame, too; being a wizard in this situation would probably alleviate a lot of our issues."

"We should tread lightly here. Light means living, and it also means that whatever is here likely needs light to see."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

"I pretty much study everything. I find new knowledge to be useful in our line of work, so I learn everything I can. It's part of the reason I go into dungeons: there's a limit to what you can learn just reading books. It's a large limit, but there is a limit none-the-less."

Ashok will also accept a featherfall with a nod of thanks and say "Nice work with the swarm. Fascinating creatures, swarms. They really lack intellect, but the react with a hivemind that you don't see elsewhere in nature."

Looking around, he will pick up a rock and use it to mark a quick drawing of a cliff with someone running off it.

He hasn't really interacted with a goblin meaningfully, no. Mostly just fighting them at the lower levels. Pretty standard, really.

"I was merely pointing out that jumping down there without any sort of plan is a pretty silly idea. I can neither featherfall nor fly, and I'm not that great a climber. If we're going to stick together, we should come up with a plan and discuss things before we going running off. It's pretty clear that someone put us here for a specific reason (otherwise, why keep us alive)? I would recommend that we stick together and discuss things before we go doing things half cocked. That way, we can all get out of here safely."

Ashok pulled off and cleaned his glasses on the hem of his shirt.

"Well, it's good that the two of you are down there I suppose. Good luck!"

Ashok would like a ranged weapon of some sort, bracers of armor, necklace of adaptation, and boots of the winterlands or cat.

Ashok would also like writing utensils and a journal, cause he likes to make notes about everything he encounters.

Ashok watches Stickymitts' jump with a smile on his face and says "I can now believe that you are indeed the bounciest gobbo in the world, Stickymitts. I am not interested in being your slave, however kind the offer might be. I would like to be your friend though."

Ashok then reaches for something out of habit, and his smile fades as he realizes that whatever he was looking for is missing.

Ashok moved to the walls and tested them to see if they could be climbed

Climb check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"can anyone here fly?"

"Now, now. We should try to work together. Unless I miss my mark, none of us know each other before awakening here? I am going to guess that some outside agency brought us all together, and now we should probably figure out where we are going from here. Perhaps we should start with introductions, including what useful skills you might bring to an adventuring party? I would be more than happy to go first. My name is Ashok, and I am a scholar adventurer by trade. I can't really cast any magic, but I know a great deal about, well, a great deal, and I can hold my own in a fight. I've had some training in unarmed combat, and I am fluent in a few different languages."

Hearing a discussion, Ashok will make his way towards the voices to find a drow and a goblin. He wasn't sure what they were saying, but they weren't trying to kill each other, so that was a good start.

"Do either of you speak common?"

Ashok stood and shook his head to try and clear the cobwebs. He had been translating a Draconic tome on moneychanging and had gotten into an argument with himself over conjugation and the next thing he knew he was....Where am I? he thought to himself.

"Hello?" he said in common, trying to see if anyone else was here.

Ashok wants to learn....everything.

allo allo, wuts all this then?

Seriously though. I'm excited to get started. I'll get an alt created tomorrow and post here.

EDIT: Or I'll get it done now.
