Baron Jack Pineglade's page

2 PP for Jacks atonement, going any more evil will get him blacklisted...

Pondering ways to avoid prostrating himself, even in deception, Jask asks; "So Pandora, can you bow in front of the statue several more times for several more tokens?"

Powerful energy is right up Jack's alley.

No dayjob for me.

spellcraft vs. ioun stone: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Jack eyes the statue cautiously, the previous statue was somewhere between useless and dangerous... But rewards...

Riding into flanking, Jack takes a swing at the remaining spawn.

Standard Action Attack; haste, Inspire Courage +3, Sneak Attack, vicious sneaky +1 armor spikes vs. Spawn2 (flanked)
attack: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28
damage: 1d4 + 2d6 + 11 + 5d6 ⇒ (3) + (1, 2) + 11 + (5, 4, 5, 5, 4) = 40

"What, is the fun ending so quickly!?"

Sneak attack riders if he hits:
Slow Reactions - Can not take attacks of opportunity for one round.
Debilitating Injury - Disoriented: The target takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls. In addition, the target takes an additional –2 penalty on all attack rolls it makes against the rogue.
Vicious - Jack takes 1d6 ⇒ 3 damage on a hit (including non-sneak attacks).

Jack twitches, eager to finish off the remaining spawn.

vicious armor spikes: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 5, 1) = 11
The sharpened armor spikes cut and slice at Jack in his frenzy.

1) If you are delaying us to after the dimension door add +3 to hit and damage to every attack. And change the debilitating injury to Hampered: All of the target’s speeds are reduced by half (to a minimum of 5 feet). In addition, the target cannot take a 5-foot step.
2) Can you elaborate on not doing full damage. Did his flesh ooze around the blows like some abomination or was it like hitting a stone wall?
3) How many hits hit?

Ah, discussion in open!

spellcraft: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 And I keep forgetting that jack has 'classical schooling'. So close...

The Baron is happy to dimension door closer. Can you identify that spell they cast?

Spurring a step forward out of Hellboy, Jack goes high as Pigglevitch's ladder goes low.

Auto-pass ride check to get mount to step forward.

Full Round Attack; Brawlers Flurry, haste, Imp. Two Weapon Fighting, Sneak Attack, vicious sneaky +1 armor spikes vs. Spawn2 (flanked)

damage: 1d4 - 1 + 5d6 ⇒ (2) - 1 + (4, 2, 2, 5, 4) = 18

Flanking due to Gang Up.

Sneak attack riders if he hits:
Slow Reactions - Can not take attacks of opportunity for one round.
Debilitating Injury - Bewildered: The target becomes bewildered, taking a –2 penalty to AC. The target takes an additional –2 penalty to AC against all attacks made by the rogue. This will apply later attacks in the full round attack.
Vicious - Jack takes 1d6 damage on a hit (including non-sneak attacks).

Delaying until after Piggle (or anyone else enters melee) in order to get flanking via Gang Up.

Beside the door Jack nods, ready to go.

I moved the minis.

Jack is fine returning the armor to the society, but doesn't care either way.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Flipping open his discerning wayfinder and detecting magic Jack takes a closer look at the armor.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 +2 vs traps
Joining Trokkus Jack glances at the door and sweeps the room for any rare valuables.

"Ah, nothing like the smell of ancient tombs and the fine grit of bonedust between your fingers."

Is this room a shrine of some sort?

Kicking his giant gecko into action Jack cackles in joy as Hellboy waddles into the room.

Standard Action Attack; Inspire Courage +3, Sneak Attack, vicious sneaky +1 armor spikes vs. Emketta (Flanked)
attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23
damage: 1d4 + 2d6 + 11 + 5d6 ⇒ (3) + (1, 4) + 11 + (1, 4, 4, 3, 2) = 33

Jack attempts to use the distraction of his team to deliver a wicked underhanded blow. Flanking due to Gang Up.

Sneak attack riders if he hits:
Slow Reactions - Can not take attacks of opportunity for one round.
Debilitating Injury - Disoriented: The target takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls. In addition, the target takes an additional –2 penalty on all attack rolls it makes against the rogue.
Vicious - Jack takes 1d6 ⇒ 5 damage on a hit (including non-sneak attacks).

Thanks, Jack will use that bear's endurance from the spell storing ability!

/checks character notes... buffs, nope... However I was hoping for a bear's endurance from Loxx during the trip here; did you see that post Loxx?

But don't hold up on my account.

Remounting, Jack agrees with Trokkus; "Yep, can't let them get away with our loot!"

Full Round Attack; Brawlers Flurry, haste, Imp. Two Weapon Fighting, Inspire Courage +2, vicious sneaky +1 armor spikes vs. Bhutta
attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35
damage: 1d4 + 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + (3, 4) + 10 = 19

attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28
damage: 1d4 + 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + (2, 6) + 10 = 21

attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36
damage: 1d4 + 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + (4, 6) + 10 = 22

attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
damage, non-magical: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Let me know how many hit. Jack takes 1d6 damage for every armor spike hit.

Loxx has acted

Seeing an opening Jack swiftly dismounts and then with a zig and a zag makes his way to flanking.

quick dismount, DC20: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (10) + 22 = 32

Standard Action Attack; haste, vicious sneaky +1 armor spikes vs. Bhutta
attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30
damage: 1d4 + 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + (6, 6) + 8 = 23

vicious damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

I'll jump back in after Pandora and the Bhuta in the next round.

I forgot trusty Hellboy. I'm assuming this was the weird spell.
will: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 4 = 23 lol...

And healing the strength damage up on Pandora and Loxx. If Loxx is will to cast from the wand.
lesser restoration wand vs pandora: 1d4 ⇒ 4
lesser restoration wand vs loxx: 1d4 ⇒ 2

jack sits astride his mount and waits for someone to decipher what this presence is.

delay

will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 +2 vs fear, +1 vs illusions
fortitude: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 +2 vs fear, +1 vs illusions

If the Baron's runeward tattoo detects this as an illusion spell, I will use my folio re-roll. Or you could give us a spellcraft DC?
fortitude: 1d20 + 15 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 15 + 3 = 30 +2 vs fear, +1 vs illusions

"That was disappointing for an ancient magical statue. Let's keep going."

Curious to know what this 'helping' kind of magic is, Jack moves up to touch the statue.

Jack addresses the dishevelled noble, "We will get you out of here is no time... Your estate will pay a reward in gratitude, correct?"

sense motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5

Since the discussion thread isn't open yet; Jack is with with Loxx. Angels are just alien zealots to Jack, no different than Devils.

Angel or not, Jack ain't getting naked for no Outsider.

"What ya see is what ya get pal." tossing his backpack, saddlebags and bandoleer aside in a false gesture to remove any magic gear. Jack declares; "Take your test and have your security theatre..."

bluff: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

"Ha! That is living in luxury!" Jack admires the cottages Lifelover has created. "There is a role as Chief Arcane Advisor at the esteemed Pineglade Estate for ya if you ever quit pathfinding!"

"I got my wand under control, it just takes a little longer than most."

The night before they are scheduled to arrive Jack fiddles with a wand trying to get it to function correctly, before spending a long night pacing and waiting...

Using a wand of keep watch on the night before our arrival. I know others could cast it, but Jack is proud like that.
use magic device: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 fail
use magic device: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 fail
use magic device: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 pass

I have a wand of keep watch.

Flipping a wand over his shoulder to Lifelover, Jack asks "This what Ya after?"

"Find Naroth, take his refuge tokens. Sound easy. Let's break some kneecaps!" Jack paces, eager to start the violence.

Ready to travel. If we have more than a day of travel, would Loxx cast a Bear's Endurance for Jack's spell storing rogue talent?

Lifelover, I see you are sovereign court. If doing any recruiting, please include Jack, he lacks the ... diplomacy... to succeed on his own.

Responding to Lifelover, Jack continuous "Cleaning? What's the point. Clean it once and you will have to clean it again."

Taking in the graceful movement and revealing silks, Jack adds "Hey, you can move and have a body them tall-folk like. Come work for the Esteemed Pineglade Estate after this. Join us and we will throw the best parties."

Throwing his own greasy hand into Pandora's offered hand and pointing with a quick sideways thrust of his head at a middle aged tien man with a backpack overstuffed with adventuring gear just entering the room. "That's Xuan, he goes where I go. Doesn't say a word but very reliable. Xuan. Is Hellboy watered and fed? You didn't let him bite you?" The man's gear is well maintained and high quality.

The tien man nods as Jack speaks then finds an out of the way corner to stand in. His gaze focuses on eyes and movements, not on mouths, Xuan does not understand Taldane.

Xuan is a prestige purchased Porter.

Turning Pandora's hand to inspect the branded, Jack asks; "Nice brand. Ain't like no piracy or thieving brand I've seen. Where it from?"

"'One who decides?' what kinda gibberish is that. Speak clearly servant." ignoring the servant and addressing his companions the Baron continuous "If that was one of mine, when there would be some right disciplining for such incompetence."

Jack paces, boots filthy from the street tracking the floor while the spikes on his armor give off faint clinks. Recent rain may have removed some gore from the armor but it remains stained with black icor, now with a slight mildew odor.

"Now don't keep me waiting, the esteemed Baron Jack Pineglade is ready for the Lady Heimdarch."

Fyi, we can not add out tokens. I think google slides are all or nothing when it comes to read-only.

I can't seem to post in discussion. Dropping this here for the time being.

Checking in with my character.

Name: DM Livgin / Ward Davis
Character: Baron Jack Pineglade
Agent No.: 156828-6
Faction: Sovereign Court
progression: Slow
Day job: -

This character also has a per-scenario checklist to go over.
1) He has two purchased riding animal. As per the menagerie FAQ, the riding gecko is the active pet and the dire riding bat is the mount pet.
2) Long before the start of the scenario, he purchases a casting of carry companion to be cast on his riding bat.
3) Jack has nightmares. If the start of the adventure is something that the character would know about ahead of time; for example if there is a travel time to the destination or the VC's see fit to schedule the mission, he will use the wand of Keep Watch to spend the night before arrival or the briefing awake. If not, he will have a few rolls to make.

The halfling Jack looks up at you in shock, "I'm a bloody Baron! Far above being questioned by peasant swine like you! What class? THE RULING CLASS!" In contrast to his haunty words, his armor chinks as he buffs out his chest while hair and flesh of his last foe dry on the spikes. Matching the armor his face is grimmy and still has blood behind the ears from a fight last week.

Jack is a brawler rogue that leans heavily into brawler, he is a tanky front liner but a terrible rogue. He also has some delusions about his own lineage.

You bring your Porter to mission briefs! GASP The security risk that poses! My Porter only speaks Tien, loose lips sink revolutions! Who knows what grey gardener informant is prying info out of your porter!

Even an animal is going to notice going from the entrance to a fancy dinner party at night to suddenly being thrust into combat on a snow covered plain at mid-day.

Especially if they aren't given a treat and told what a good critter they are!

Yes, my pocket bison will appear moody and angry! This is perfect for my plans!

Mounted combat question:

Could a character take a standard action, use a move action to mount their mount, and then have the mount run as a full round action?

In context this would look like dismissing a held animal that was under the effect of Carry Companion, mounting it, and then running away.

Don't trust him, he is a shape-shifting Yeti!

1. Why are you a Pathfinder? The whole world must witness the glory of the Pineglade family, what better way to spread the glory and bring entire nations into the service of the family than travelling the world with the Society.

2. Do you have a name and surname that is not ripped straight out of existing Earth mythology or popular culture? How dare you insult my surname, the Pineglade family is an esteemed family with a full and rich history! I will have you whipped for such slights!

3. Which nation did you grow up in? How did this nation influence you? The Pineglade family is a halfling family the used the turmoil of the Galt rebellions to elevate themselves above the role of servants and slaves. Being Galt, the following rebellions saw the destruction of the esteemed Pineglade house. Jack now travels the world trying to re-establish his families power and glory.

4. What do you look like? What are your wearing? How does this vary when you’re stalking through forests, sewers, deserts or in glittering cities? For a self-declared noble and diplomat, Jack has a feral look to him. Jack carries very few weapons, but wears a wicked looking suit of spiked armor that as often of not still carries the ripped flesh of his past foes

5. What do you love? (Treasure and experience doesn’t count) Jack loves himself, his Glory, and the idea of a powerful Pineglade family.

6. What do you hate? (Unclear and irritating darkness level rules don’t count) ... I don't hate anything. Mighty foes only add to my glory and the glory of the Pineglade family once they are defeated. I guess those Silver Crusade bleeding hearts are annoying, wasting resources on the lazy that are not helping themselves.

7. Which other Pathfinders (PCs) do you rely on for teamwork, survival and butt-kicking? Do you have a bro? a mentor? a father figure? maybe a rival? Yes, the Venture Captains often provide a suitable entourage for my diplomatic outreach missions.

8. How does your race influence your views? Are you a stereotype of a certain race? How are you different from most humans/elves/gnomes/orcs/tengu? I am not one of those lazy weak willed halflings from Cheliax that are not ready to take their future into their own hands. Do not think of me as one of those or I will take your kneecap and feed it down your own throat.

9. What are you afraid of? Do you have any phobias or worries? I thought we established this already, I seek the mightiest enemies so that their fall will elevate the house Pineglade. In my life I will elevate the House Pineglade to the highest heights!

10. What is your most treasured possession? This is my porter Xue Ho. He is a devoted servant to the house Pineglade and has followed me into the darkest pits of Golarion without a single complaint. He seems to talk to himself a lot in Tian when he is stressed, but I'm sure if it was important he would speak up in Taldane... now that I think about it I've never heard him speak Taldane once, oh well.
