Ayla Brawler's page

Ayla, very confused by the discussion between Ashasar and her compatriots, shrugs and indulges in the tea with honey. With a mouth full of food she makes a deal with the innkeeper for a few bushels of apples.
Neatly pocketing the 5 'Shiny Stones' she follows Minna out the door toward the docks. Finding a nice tall place to curl up and bask in the sun, Ayla stretches and yawns.

A good nap is the best chaser for a great mission!

Ayla absently reaches into her pack, grabbing an Apple and a piece of Jerky from her trail rations. As she cuts into the apple to quarter it, her dagger issues a sultry giggle. Dropping the apple (And Jerky!) in surprise, she looks down at the knife in confusion. "Ayla knife weird. Ayla no cut apple."

Fey Surprise?: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Ayla's dagger giggles and coos between her teeth. Oh dear...

Just in case anyone was curious, Ayla sells Apples. Surprising no one.

You Know, I don't know that Many of us filled out this information!

Player name: Quinn Shannon
Character name: Ayla Tough!
PFS/Char #: 146613-24
Day Job: Profession (Merchant): 10 + 3 = 13
Faction: Liberty's Edge

Grey Bag of Tricks! That's the little one!
Summon(Friend!): 1d100 ⇒ 90

The Weasel that Ayla tossed out of the bag has Shimmering Purple fur, and eyes that glimmer like Emeralds. Sniffing the air toward Blarg, it quickly runs up Ayla's leg to perch on her shoulder as she follows Narissiel through the forest. "Blarg! No Eat! FuzzNoodle Friend!"

Reaching into the growling bag, Alya pulls out a small tuft of fur, before throwing it onto the ground. As the fur grows into an Animal I've never heard of a Reddish Grey bag of tricks. What did I get? Ayla looks positively DELIGHTED.

"Ayla Take. Friend Bag!"

Ayla, seeing that all of the Combatants have fallen, climbs up the First World Trees, and out to the branches, Plucking the variety of Bindles from their branches. Sitting down next to Minna, Pulling an apple from her Pack, she offers it to Minna. ”Apple Good. Minna Good. Apple Help!”

Spreading out the various bags in front of her, Ayla peeks into the individual bags to see their contents.

Taking advantage of the Offered Flank, Ayla swings at the Purple Satyr with Paws of Fur-y

Fur-ious Flurry!: 1d20 + 7 - 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 1 - 2 + 2 = 12 Paw Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9
Fur-ious Flurry!: 1d20 + 7 - 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 1 - 2 + 2 = 20 Paw Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Hey R. Sweet! Where is this Green one again? I'm only seeing the Purple Target.

That darn cat! Stand still so I can hit you!!

Ayla Tough! No Hit Ayla! Ayla Hit!

Minna, Get That Flaaaaaaank!

Weeeee Running a Special and another Scenario over the weekend ground my PbP existence to a halt! Back into the fray!

"Horn man, how you hunt? To hunt, must hit!"
Swinging her fist at the Horned Fey, she nimbly steps around to his back, making room for others to take a swing!

Piranha punch!: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 1 = 15Piranha Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5

"This how hunt! Work with Friend!"

Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Hey R. Sweet!
Sometimes, due to the Extended amount of Time that PbP can take, sometimes the thread can be lost pretty quickly.

I like to do little Recaps of what is happening in the round of combat to refresh everyone's memory. Plus, it is a great opportunity to add Flavor!

I'm honestly not really sure why we are being hunted, other than 'We are in the First World' which is why I bring it up.

Distraught and upset at being called 'Prey', Ayla hold up her guard, before thinking a little more about her footwork. "Ayla Strong! Ayla Tough! Ayla No Lose!"

Move Action for Martial Flexibility (Step Up) and a Readied Action to take a swing if Purple or Green get hostile.

Newly surrounded, Ayla does the most reasonable thing given the current circumstances. Pulling a few apples from her Backpack, she offers them to the Quartet of Questers. "Ayla have apple. Ayla share apple. Friends?"

Profession(Merchant): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 Or Diplomacy at 6 higher

Wrapping her arms around the outside of the quickly growing pile of people, Ayla speaks up. "Ayla Hug Too!"

Ayla, completely confused by Herbie's transformation, Growls low at Cousin Viney as they both waggle various viney appendages at each other. "You Hurt Herbie! No Hurt Herbie!" Right as she is about to swing, Ayla catches Herbert's transformation back into the Cute little leshy. Supporting the Little Buddy, she looks at him confused. "Herbie OK? Plant no hurt Herbie?"

Cousin Viney curls some leaves, twists tendrils, and does a full body shimmy.

Would he Address us as 'Roots' or would he use the more formal 'Rouths'? Sometimes the Thick accent makes it a bit tough to understand.

Previously, on 'Adventures Under the Well':
Ayla, after receiving a bit of wanding, Yawns and stretches her arms toward the sky. "Ayla sleepy." Kicking the Vanara for good measure, she proceeds with everyone else forward into the Forest.

Currently, on 'As the Vines Wave'
Watching Herbie waggle his arms toward the Viney Protrusion, Ayla walks up next to him. Pulling her fists up into a guard by her face, she looks almost expectantly toward the hanging vine. Readying a Punch if the Vine turns Vine-olent!

Ich Spreche ein Bisschen deutch.

In fact, that is the active ingredient in her Wand of Cure Light Wounds!

Well, if you count the first... 5? rounds as Ayla flailing around in an Overlong Surprise round, we are really only on round 6 ;D

Speaking of, this ground is super cozy for a Cat Nap. If anyone would mind reviving me later, I have a wand in a Spring-Loaded Wrist Sheath specifically for this inevitability!

Low HP. 10NL from the Sleep Arrow (The 9 plus (presumed) Point Blank Shot), 2NL from the Fall. 8 more from his next arrow puts her at exactly 0, the 5 from the Porcupine puts her to sleep. Stable, but unconscious from Non Lethal.

Unconscious but Stable! (Thanks Sleep Arrow!)

Glaring at the foe in the Tree, Ayla climbs back up. "No More Hurt Ayla! Ayla Show you!" Leaping to her feet, Move Action Ayla rapidly climbs back up the trunk. Standard Action

I will (again) attempt to Fast Climb.

Climb DC+5: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Reflex Save?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Falling gracelessly from the tree, Ayla hits the ground with a THUD, jostling her awake. "Ayla Fall? Why Ayla Fall?"
Fall Damage (NL): 1d6 ⇒ 2

GM, I just wanted to point out that Ayla linked to Paizo's official PRD which specifically says that an arrow used as a melee weapon counts as in improvised weapon.

"An arrow used as a melee weapon is treated as a light improvised weapon (–4 penalty on attack rolls)"

This is also found on page 145 of the core rulebook.

I'm not super worried about it. Worst case scenario, I fall, take 1d6 Nonlethal, wake up, and run back up the tree. This way, other people get a chance to contribute!

Besides, he could have Catch-off-Guard ;D

The 1d8 Dagger damage I'm a bit concerned about, but I'm sure it will work out!

I'm guessing that is a Sleep Arrow that Ayla is getting stuck with? Did you include the Improvised Weapon penalty? If not, would that have connected? (19 AC, +1 from Dodge)

If I Got Stabbed
Will Save DC12: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 "Ow! You... hurt... *snoooooooore*" Ayla quickly falls asleep, hanging lazily from the tree. Maybe Falling? Your call GM!

If I didn't get Stabbed
AoO: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 1 = 11 AoO Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9
Swinging at the Little Spiny Buddy, Ayla's claws get caught on the Tree Bark.

Just barely ducking out of the way, Alya swings again at the Agile Archer, trying to take him out of the tree. "No Stab! Ayla Punch!"
Flurry 1: 1d20 + 7 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 1 - 2 = 23 Piranha Damage!: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8
Flurry 2: 1d20 + 7 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 - 1 - 2 = 11 Piranha Damage!: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

Ayla, finally next to the Troublesome Archer, bites and punches and kicks and headbutts. "NO HURT AYLA" THUD
Brawler's Flurry!: 1d20 + 7 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 1 - 2 = 20 Piranha Damage!: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4

"AYLA HURT YOU"
Final Flurry!: 1d20 + 7 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 1 - 2 = 10 Piranha Damage!: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

Easy enough! I... have had a Realization that is Beautiful!
Ayla yells, "No Start Trouble! Ayla Finish Trouble!" before dashing over to the archer, and following through with a massive haymaker!

Piranha Punch!: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 - 1 = 11
Uhhhh. If this is just me, I'm not taking my chances. I'll use my Reroll!
Piranha Punch!: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 - 1 + 4 = 17
Piranha Damage!: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

Alternatively, if he is In an Actual Tree, I'll start climbing (Climb Speed of 20 feet, Don't lose my Dex to AC while climbing, and I'll try to Fast Climb?)
Fast Climb Check (DC+5): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

Sure! I guess there is a... bad guy on the other side of the well?

Easily climbing up the well, Ayla takes a moment to focus on being a bit more agile and looks over at the 'Foe' in the corner. "Ayla Tough! No mess with Ayla! You take color?"

Assumed Move to climb the well (I have a climb speed and a Bonus of +14, so I make it?) Move to activate Martial Flexibility (Dodge) Ready to go for Round 2?

I am Not going to be at Paizocon!
It looks like I have a few rounds to burn ahead of time anyway :D

Ayla pats the little Bleachling on the shoulder before kneeling to look her in the eye. "No Cry. Ayla Tough! Ayla find Color!" With a wide grin, Ayla pulls a dagger off her belt, before clenching it between her teeth and diving in.
Swim DC18: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 Woo Hoo! First Try!

Ayla, Quickly popping out the other side, Suddenly realizes how alone that she is...

Seeing the other frog eat Blarg, Ayla shouts again. "NO EAT FRIEND! SPIT UP NOW!" Stepping closer to the Little Frog, Move Ayla punches quickly again, once again using her Speed for Power. Standard with Piranha Strike!
Piranha Punch!: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 1 = 23 Piranha Damage!: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

Ayla, springs into action after seeing the Big Froggy try and eat her friend. "Frog! No Eat Minna! Minna Friend!"

Quickly moving into position, Move action Ayla winds up a Swift punch to a soft spot, Standard using her Speed instead of Strength to add a bit of kick to it! Using Piranha Strike!

Piranha Punch!: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 1 = 24 Piranha Damage!: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Sorry for being out for a day or two!
My local Game Day was on Saturday, which means that I had a bunch of chores to catch up on Sunday.

Earlier!

Ayla pulls a few coins out of her Belt pouch, and offers her hand to Fabin. "Ayla win shiny stone!" She'll wager 50g!

"Ayla not know about funny tree. Ayla Tough! Ayla Fight!"

Feeling a little bit protective of Quon, she follows close, stealthily and Gracefully.
Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

It looks like you are getting the swing of things!

Keep up the good work!

Ayla, ears perking up at the mention of the Jungle, grins widely. "Ayla from Jungle! Tall Tree! Many Plant! Much Food!"

Ayla asks around town for a bit, seeing what information that she can gather. While sometimes difficult to understand, she is charming enough to get some information.
Diplomacy!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

"Jungle have Many Trees. Jungle No like Axe man. Axe man in Lum Bar Kin Shore Tum. Pri mud eye al ones scare Axe Man most, new clan in Spiky Plant Fence get big, scare Axe Man."

If Ayla is to be gathering information, it might be best to send a 'Ride Along' to translate.

Sorry-not-sorry

Hey GM!
There are a bunch of Forum Tags that make PbP GMing a little easier, and smoother sailing!
The big ones are OOC and Spoiler.
OOC: When you want to give some information to the players that maybe the characters wouldn’t know, You can use the OOC tag to make it Light Blue, that represents Out Of Character conversations! Like this! Hey R. Sweet, I still have Dodge from my Martial Flexibility. Would that attack have hit still?

Secondly, the Spoiler tag can be used to hide information, unless certain specifications are met. They are often used for Knowledge Checks, Information that Only One character would know, or hiding any rolls that you would prefer to be private. If you use ‘Spoiler=‘ between the brackets, you can even list what is hidden in the spoiler tag! Like this:

Hopefully this information is helpful! I’m here to help if you have any questions!

Oh yeah, Ayla hasn't played any of these adventures.

So GM, I have a... silly question.

Say that someone had a bag full of apples. And maybe that someone was a Brawler, and could take Throw Anything as a Move Action. What kind of damage do you think an Apple would do? And what would its range Incriment be?

Asking for a friend.

With a mix between a Meow and a Yawn, Ayla stretches, arching her back as she crawls out from a cave made of Cargo Boxes. ”Ayla here, punch things. You friend? Ayla no Punch!”

Offering a Pawed Hand, the muscular Woman reaches out to Koani and her Dino Buddy. ”Ayla people Ride lizard. Lizard have name? Good Lizard?”

Reaching into her (Bulging) backpack with her other paw, she pulls one of numerous apples out, before crunching happily into it. ”Ayla have MANY apple. Ayla share!”

...I've got the weekend off so I'll noodle over my options and figure out who might be fun to bring along. A couple of my characters have yet to be played at all - like Yua's player I tend towards support/casters so my fightmans don't see as much action. Maybe I'll bust out my brawler or my swashbuckler or my bloodrager :3

I have -zero- Concordance characters (and no intention of making one, to be honest) If you want to play your Shaman, I loooooooove my Brawler. Mostly for Roleplay reasons.

EDIT: Actually, Since everybody is noodling a bit, I'll just lock in my Brawler. Ayla Tough! Ayla Fight!

Thank you Livgin for running!

While I thought Janus' take was certainly dark, I was (personally) hoping someone would correct Ayla's goof.

Characters can get a dark, and situations can get a little dicey, but I agree that PbP is pretty difficult to determine how someone is feeling at the given moment. At the end of the day, as long as we learn from the experience, we can continue to grow our characters without upsetting others.

Secondly, I'd like to thank you all for putting up with the nonsense that I have been slinging for the last few weeks, because Int 8 Wis 8 characters are a delight to play for me.

Ayla blinks, and looks back at Anwald "Make pay so not kill Book Lady. Book lady say 'Go find stuff, get Shiny stone. Make Greenman Pay, Book lady give more shiny stone!'"

Looking back toward her compatriots, she looks truly confused. "We here make pay, right Cold Man?"

With a cheshire grin on her face, Ayla approaches the very inebriated man. "You Greenman? Book lady say 'Find Greenman, Make pay.' So now, Ayla make pay."

Nodding in approval, Ayla kicks the would-be Assassins in the ribs before looking back to Ulisha. "Alya help Book Lady. Then, Ayla get shiny stone?"

I love how it references the Diehard feat in that trait.
