"I've heard she can make herself grow to the size of a giant in combat and likes the arena set up with hidden pits in the sands. That doesn't sound very fair."

Before returning to see Smine, Eclipse will find a moment and a private place to transform back in the halfling 'child' Bait... and reunite with his large dog and tiny cat.

"Would we need a single combatant to go up against her in this arena or do we fight her as a team?"

"... and we're burning daylight?" Bait finishes her statement with a little grin. He boards the barge, with his entourage (Buddy and Cinder) in tow.

He still looks the worse for wear... dark circles under his eyes... and walks with a bit of a wobble to his step.

disguise: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

bluff: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

Bait pretends to drink and seems to simply get more sullen and sleepy as he does so.

bluff: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

"Buddy's always hungry. Cinder's picky about what she eats. Thanks though, I'm sure they'll like it... Meat, veggies and bread for Buddy would be fine, cream or milk for Cinder."

Cinder head-bumps Fade's hand when he scratches her ears... tilts her head so he scratches right where she wants him to with a little "Mew". Buddy just rolls his eyes up at Fade with a grateful glance, his eyebrows waggling appreciatively, tail wagging happily.

Bait follows Fade toward the taverns, Buddy walking along beside him, Cinder on Buddy's back, watching lackidaisically, yawning from time to time. "Might look funny if I started drinking, but I can pretend... I'm quite good at pretending."

"oh look, mr. Elf! MOre luck!!!" Bait smiles at Ryskovich and waves at the fellow halfling. He walks up to him... "Hi... I'm Bait. I'm glad you're here... I don't have to crane my neck to talk to EVERYone here at least."

"I'm a good luck charm? I never knew... I'll do my best to be lucky then." He grins... then nods at the Matsu's reply to the VC. "Yes, not killing them would be more fun."

Bait grins. "I saw what you did there." He does a little checking around for more info.

"Tymon is all about combat and fighting for rights and privileges... Ten wins in an arena get you rights to carry weapons and own land, be heard in court. Their ruler earns that right through combat too. Anyone can challenge to arena combat though, regardless of rank, and anyone who has those ten wins can challenge the ruler for position."

that's a synopsis...feel free to read the spoilers for the full flavor

Bait walks up to Matsu and stands next to him while regarding Fade. "look! Cinder is a kitty again!" He points to his cat, which is sitting upright on the dog's back, then jumps down and walks over, rubbing against Matsu's leg in recognition. Bait whispers conspiratorially "She's not really a cat." which earns him a sour look from Cinder.

While Cinder is busy rubbing in Matsu, showing her approval of him, Bait walks over to Fade. He tugs on his pant leg and looks up at him, and asks him directly, "Are you a vampire?"

"Hullo." He flashes Matsu a warm smile. "Just us three?" he asks, looking from Matsu to Evariel.

A blond halfling child, dressed in rags, slinks along with the crowd, cuddling a small black cat with grey stripes, who, like the child, looks half-starved. While the boy moves along, he does seem to be quite skillful at avoiding being stepped on or tripped over by bigfolk, maneuvering through the throng quite adeptly. Loping along at the child's side is a large dog on a rope leash.

"Hi... I'm Bait.. 'n this is Buddy." He indicates the large slobbering St. Bernard at his side, much bigger than he is... Riding on the dog's back is a black cat with gray stripes, violet eyes, and an unusual white blaze on its chest. "'n that's Cinder."

Got mine thanks

Bait happily reports just about everything he can remember, because that's what Pathfinders do - explore, cooperate and report!

"Specters! and the champion was turned into a vampire, we had to vanquish her, then burn the body to return the ashes to her descendants and bring her sword here. I hope we did right by her and the Society."

boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Bait charges the one on Sickly...

to hit: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18
dmg if hits: 1d6 ⇒ 6 1/2 damage goes through from Shadowhunter racial trait.

Bait screams like a girl and runs away from the spectre... "Help!"... not having any holy water or magical weapons, he's just not effecteive against these things, and knows it, so Withdraw action.

fort save DC 17: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
folio reroll: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Bait jumps away from the shadowy red-eyed thing and casts whip of spiders...

Bait takes a step back, even though he's definitely not in front and casts shield.

Bait yelps in surprise at the onslaught of arrows... When it's all over he plucks them out gingerly... and lays them on the ground.. He hugs Buddy and makes sure he didn't get hit as well. Then he walks over to Miyako and hands her his wand.. "FIx my owies please?

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

reflex, dc 18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

"Ow... ow... ow!!! I TOLD you I heard hoofbeats charging!" Bait goes tumbling off to a corner hoping to avoid the ghostly cavalry, but they run right over him anyway...

Without UMD, he hands his wand over to someone to use on him...

assuming someone does..

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

... after five charges he is just a couple of points from fully healed and puts the wand away.

"I'm sure... not sure what it is, or exactly where, but I hear it!

Bait slips into the room and examines the statue and looks about the room.

perc dc 26: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

lacks the requisite knowledge to roll

he whispers to the others... "I hear galloping hoofbeats" He ducks behind someone big.

know arcane: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Bait looks at the statue, and just shakes his head... casts detect magic since he knows nothing about it via knowledge...

spellcraft to identify type of magic on statue if applicable: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

but simply can't seem to make heads or tails of this strange living statue.

"I have no idea what it is, but it's not a normal statue..."

spellcraft to identify type of magic on skull if applicable: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

the 'identifies' via detect magic will take time and only apply if combat doesn't break out of course

I will be attending Strategicon from Friday through Monday... Will be able to make limited posts, but not reliably nor frequently... I will try to keep up with at least one post a day, but no guarantees. Please bot me as needed to keep up the pace of the game, thanks.

If there's an indication to move back.. either verbal or by gesture, Bait will take a step back after shooting.

Bait shoots at the creature...

to hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
dmg if hits: 1d6 ⇒ 2

to confirm crit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
xtra dmg if crits: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

halve all damage due to its incorporeality and Bait's Shadowhunter racial trait

Bait double moves to get within sight of the creature.

"Well that doesn't look at all good." I assume because of the stairs, he doesn't have line of sight to the creature... so Bait just moves and casts mage armor on himself.

Bait will stand back a little ways, ready with his bow, waiting for the door to be opened.

"Oh, look! it looks like some kind of shrine... to a fish god maybe?"

"Maybe we should check out this first hallway on the right... if we go on past it, we are just inviting danger to bite us in the rear... literally..." He looks down the passage to the right.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

if no one else is taking anything, Bait will take one of the potions of prot vs fire.

"You got all that from this poem? Where are these Belzkin Holds?"

Bait's large st. bernard companion pants heavily from his spot at Bait's side... "Just Buddy, he's harmless... unleas you try to hurt me, of course... and Deedl.." he indicates the diminutive fey creature sitting on the dog braiding it's fur in complex patterns, which the dog seems to put up with patiently. "She used to be a cat, but she's not anymore..."

Bait tries to look at the book from the side of the desk, but he's just too short. Without even asking, he walks over to Shevar and while the fellow is beginning to read from the book, climbs up into his lap and looks at the book from there. He looks like a typical child in a grown up's lap during story time, a rather incongruous sight in this place. If the VC reacts badly to this, he'll slip off again, nor will he complain if he's pushed off... He'll just shrug and sigh if that happens and say "I couldn't see."

I will be traveling from Saturday morning until Weds. night (driving up north to see the eclipse). I will try to check in at least once a day, but if I miss a post time, please feel free to bot me to keep the flow going. I don't want to hold up the game.

Shouldn't affect this game which doesn't start til the 25th, just posting this in all my games... just in case.

I kinda like the idea of the ranger or the cleric/rogue... but really, comes down to whatever you want to play the most... bring your favorite.

got mine, thanks again for stepping in, Red

don't forget on that aoo his AC is 4 less cause,he's still considered prone, so your crit roll might have confirmed... but whether or not, still nice series of attaccks.

I will be away for a few days... will have internet access in the evenings but not sure how reliable it will be... just a forewarning that I might be unable to post... if that happens, feel free to bot me as needed.

Bait moves forward a few steps and places a square of grease directly under the minotaur's feet, hoping he will fall down and become easier to hit... and maybe others will get some extra attacks in while it tries to stand up.

dc 14 reflex save to avoid falling down

Bait double-moves to the other side of the bridge, hoping others do as well... just in case, he draws his little blade to defend himself.

Bait runs up closer to the minotaur until he's in range of a close range spell, which will take a couple of rounds.

Bait moves forward defensively and prepares to aid Terenz in his next attack.

attack aid, dc 10, penalty for defensive fighting taken: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 4 = 13

with helpful halfling trait, that gives Terenz a +4 to hit on his next attack

bait's ac is 21 for one round for fighting defensively
