GM: Suspecting magic is afoot Balani tries to determine if there is anyone else more substantial in the area.
GM: Balani, suddenly more interested in the extremely stealthy man, instead slips through the trees in an attempt to get behind the position the man disappeared to and observe his actions/intentions. She makes her way as silently as she is able to flank his position.
Balani quickly whispers to Jawn. Prepare! apemen chasing unknown man, incoming fast. She then turns to follow them back toward the group, bow ready to fire the minute she has a clear shot on one of the Charua-Ka.
Balani recalls Nim's description of an unusual white ape to the north and a group in the centre. Instead of skirting around the edge all the way to the other side she decides it would be best to take on the group in the centre on the way to the northern group. Pointing deeper into the jungle, with a thin smile hovering on her lips, she states briefly, To the heart of the ruins. I will scout ahead. Will you cast message again?
When the group is ready she quickly disappears in the growth, her eyes and ears wary, her movements ghostlike.
Balani moves forward quickly and after doing a cursory search of each Charua-Ka she instructs Kranir to drop them into the pit. Let's get to cover and see if we alerted the rest. She quickly moves into the trees and listens for anything that would herald the arrival of reinforcements.
Round 4 Balani, with one eye to the surrounding area watching for more incoming enemies, moves around to get a view of something other than her enormous companions. She raises her bow again and fires at the tentacled creature.
Her arrow thunks into the writhing mass, but does minimal damage to the huge creature.
Balani sighs slightly as this new threat emerges. I knew it seemed too easy.
Balani skirts the edge of the trees to get a better shot at the remaining enemy.
And my response was that they likely had 20ish HP... but didn't know for sure. They could have had 30ish.:P You are too modest. You are my pathfinder savant and when you say 20ish I know it must be give or take 1 :) But the description was mostly hopeful posting that it would indeed be enough so I would not prove totally useless.
You think 21 points is enough to drop one of them!!!! You would be right...lol
Balani takes advantage of the apparent confusion of the enemy to fire off another two shots in quick succession.
The arrows streak towards the ape man directly in line with her, thudding into its body. Nim sees it crumple in front of him.
Balani, anticipating the imminent arrival of the others stealthily fires at the nearest apeman.
Before they know what is happening Balani fires again, one of the Charau-ka falls lifeless with two powerful shots but the flurry of arrows gives her position away.
Balani acknowledges the plan and waits for the 'signal'.
And I believe you are looking at things backwards regarding sniping Balani. You need to be at least 10' from them to re-stealth. Not 10' or within. The further the better as they will take penalties to their checks for every 10' away you are.
Balani relays the scene as best she can to Jawn and adds, Give me a minute to get around them.
Sliding through the shadows like one herself, she makes her way around the group and readies herself to fire on them the moment they seem to hear the others.
Balani looks the trap over and decides to try to disarm it.
Balani has no trouble disarming the trap and even manages to make it look as if it hasn't been touched. She lets the others know where to find the entrance and that she has spotted and disarmed the trap before heading cautiously through the opening.
I will skirt the wall heading south while you follow keeping to the denser cover. I will let you know when I find a good way in. Starting where they are, on the east, Balani gets as close to the wall as she can while keeping out of sight and follows it southward looking for a good place to enter.
Balani shrugs, The monkey-men first then. She heads off in that direction, her shape barely visible to the others as she slips in and around the trees and overgrowth.
Balani, her eyes looking longingly at the trees answers, Traps, or something not visible from the air. If you prefer to go for the monkey men I have no objections, but I would prefer to get into place before the metal man, She flashes a brief smile at Kragnir, crashes into the fray.
Balani nods in agreement at Jawn's suggestion and barring any objections slips noiselessly into the trees.
I can check this one out on the ground first, just to make sure there are no hidden surprises when we take on the others.
After listening to Nim's report Balani asks, Are they far enough apart that we can pick each group off without alerting the others, or at least eliminate them before help arrives?
Balani, sure of her prowess in remaining a shadow adds, I can get very close without being seen as well. If Nim signals the all clear I will scout from down here. She moves far enough away from the group to disappear into the surroundings but close enough to maintain communication while waiting for Nim.
Whatever works out best. I have added the amulet and headband and Kragnir will take your ring is my understanding. If things need to get rearranged in the future it is fine with me.
When Nim inquires about the spear Balani declines, It's not really my preference.
Balani, not interested in being blown up, jerks her head toward the exit, I'll wait outside.
Balani also turns a calculating eye toward the treasure room but with much more focus on the treasure than the room. That isn't to say she doesn't examine anything else that happens to catch her eye, or at least point Jawn in its direction.
Balani Level 6:
Additional favoured enemy - animals and 1 upgrade applied to it +4 total to bluff, perception, sense motive, knowledge and survival re animals (+2 against monstrous humanoids) Skills:
I haven't really been taking into account the bonuses for jungle terrain, maybe you have, but as long as we are in it I also get +2 to initiative, survival, perception, stealth and knowledge (geography)
Balani shrugs at the question of what to do with the mystery man. I don't want to carry him along.
Balani fires her sleep tipped arrow at the foe.
Mihai's blessing makes Balani's arrow fly true!
Balani echos Nim's sentiment as she draws her bow back. Wish me luck!
Balani, reminded by Nim, quickly grabs a vial of drow poison from her handy haversack and attempts to safely apply it to one of her arrows.
Balani follows the masked figures out of the room firing as they try to enter the blocked corridor.
Merry Christmas to all who are so inclined!
Balani shakes her head in amazement at the dwarf's resilience and battle lust, He can barely stand, but rushes in. She tries to maneuver into a position that enables the clearest shot.
Balani skillfully skirts the gaping pit.
Balani, trusting in the front line fighters to remove the giant obstacle, waits to aim her shots. When the masked man becomes visible again she steps into place and snaps off two shots, hoping to get lucky and hit the man himself but at least eliminating a couple of possible targets to make it easier for the others.
Balani looks for an opening to fire another, hopefully more effectual, shot.
Balani, not wanting to take another hit from the massive troll, attempts out of the way of its long arms and dives out of its way, coming up to fire at it. She trusts in her excellent reflexes to keep her from falling into the pit.
Balani decides to wait to get a clear shot at the mysterious man while her companions take care of the ghouls but as she feels her movements become quicker she rushes around the melee while drawing her bow and fires on the figure within.
still checking in.
