Begus's page

I would really like to do the larger specials online. Pair your VTT with an online chat feature like: Ventrilo, mumble or teamspeak, where folks can be in several channels at once, would make the larger group idea work very well.

For anyone who has played Eve Online and has done large fleet battles knows how this could work very nicely. 100's of players on the same server with multiple voice chats all working together. It would be an amazing experience.

Cilik looks at the last scroll for a moment:

arcana to ID: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Cilik, thankful that he did not come to physical harm simply nods his head and starts looking for magical auras in the area.

As he passes by Jasper and the wounded Blodgett he asks, "Will he be ok?"

Begus 2.0 or something different but of the wizarding type thing.

a lot of small evil things right next to each other? Begus knows exactly what to do with that. He steps through the group and find the perfect location, accounts for the curvature of the earth and the drag coefficient of the tunnel's air and lets the fire ball go! (can get all baddies and not a party member)

fireball (Dc 21 for 1/2): 10d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 5) + 3 = 27

"They will have some immunity to my magics. they cast darkness and can become invisible at will.

feel free to read the first two levels of spoilers.

Begus wakes as if from a dream, "Sorry, what was that? I was thinking I was in charge of teaching young minds about a magical school called 'physics'."

catching up, 5 minutes

Know planes: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

moves a bit to get the in the center of the party. Begus casts haste on the party.

"time to finish this off folks!

has anyone tried to report this module yet? I can't find it in the 'Pathfinder Modules' section of the site.

Going to be at Gencon This coming Tuesday-Sunday. Posting will be nearly impossible. I'll be on vacation the week after that. posting will be at least daily.

Begus swaps out a few spell. (fly for one.... he look at Kulik).

Begus thanks the Rogue for the help and quickly makes his way to the magical staff. Identifying magics is one of his strong suits and he quickly discerns every use of the staff.

"You know, Rathen, I have been looking for a staff of power for some time. This may not be what I choose, but it will be rather useful while we are here." He smiles as he cleans the staff with a cloth to get the spider slime off.

Begus has been here before. he quickly goes through his mental index of spells, potions and wands. He reaches into pack and pulls out wand. A moment later, he is enveloped by fog that obscures his position.

"don't worry about me. take this spider down!"

The ring of invisibility begins to itch in the gnomes finger, but Begus suppresses the urge to duck out of sight. He does take a few steps back while he sets up for one more lightning strike:

DC 24 reflex for 1/2: 12d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 5, 3, 3, 4, 5, 2, 2, 3, 2) + 3 = 46

The gnome starts on a dissertation the Corpsespinner

it was my intention to have that little bit mean Begus is telling everyone what he knows.

Begus automatically know what this thing is can take 10 anytime for a 36.

The gnome starts on a dissertation the Corpsespinner but stops after hearing Frag's plea and starts moving to get a clear shot of the creature, "Sorry, Frag, the only thing I have is a potion!"

He stops short, he thinks, "this thing is DAMN ugly." He notices the height and the proximity of the monster to his friends."Hmm, fireball is a go to...hmmm. ahhh! i haven't used this one in a while"

A few mumblings and a flick of the wrist a bold of lightning springs from his left hand a streaks towards the large spider-thing.

DC 24 reflex for half: 12d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 1, 6, 2, 4, 5, 4, 3, 3, 3) + 3 = 40
spell penetration if needed: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

look at the situation, Begus thinks that a magic missile that knocks the bad guys over would be the best idea.
5 toppling MM 3 to pink, 2 to blue (Adding Intense spell bonus to this guy)

3 MM to pink: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 1) + 3 = 10
trip try: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28

2 MM to blue: 2d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2) + 5 = 10
trip try: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34

kn:religion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

"This is NOT good!

Begus casts haste on the party (with a 55 ft range I should be able to get Frag).

Begus pulls out of trusty wand and casts "mage armor" on himself.

after that, he flicks on his wayfinder to provide some light. He also picks up a small stone and casts light on it as well. He gives to to Frag."feel free to toss this ahead of you so we can see further."

I have no idea what these things are. It's going to be fun!

Begus uses a bit of simple magic to get everyone's attention,"Attention, please!"He calls."As many of you have guessed, we are Pathfinders. We are pleased to announce that you are no longer the property of The Gorilla King, or of any other man or beast. You are now a free people."The gnome stops to let the words sink in."You are free to go anywhere you wish. You can stay here, but that would probably lead to you being attacked by the thinks that call this jungle home; If not he Gorilla King's forces. I suggest you come with us to a place of safety. From there, you can decide what your next steps in life will be." He finishes with,"This your first free choice, but make in quickly. We leave shortly."

diplo: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30
Diplo: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26
Kn:local: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Kn:arcana (take 10 allowed): 26 + 10 = 36

"don't worry Jag, you'll get your chance soon enough." Begus smiles at the half orc.

He turns to Rathen,"aren't get within a short walk of the city?

Begus smiles at Dora,"I haven't been under this much pressure since the last time i had to keep 20 gnomish kids entertained at my nephew's birthday party! One of the kids got in the way for a transfiguration spell and things went to a whole other level."

We should be close to safety right? we can escort of the slave out of here and then take a look at the city?

Begus, never taking part in the Ruby Phoenix tourney, knows a bit about it (he knows a bit about everything). He pipes in from time to time adding flavor to the tail:
Diplo: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

He adds some small spells to enhance the story telling, all in a direction not a affect the audience negatively: color spray, prestidigitation, dancing lights, ghost sounds and a few force missiles into the air for good measure.

he can use spellcraft,another Diplo or preform (oratory) if needed. GM's discretion.

here.

Begus is quiet excited about this who affair.

"I have seen this many monkey brains since last trip to the expanse!"

sense motive: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

He thinks for a moment about the situation.
" your restraint in using your great strength is noble indeed."

Begus looks concerned that there is something else going on here, but does not voice his concerns.

Begus gets to work on Rathen's wounds.
Begus smiles at Rathen, " I saw them just about the time you did, but I wasn't going into that pool of filth for them when I knew you would." he finishes with a quick wink at his old friend as he gives him the wand back. Begus fishes his own wand out of his bag and sets to work on his own wounds.
cure light wounds: 5d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 8, 6, 7, 2) + 5 = 32
The gnome nods at Dora"agreed, the dwarves of the Shattered Range would have great interest in this as well as solving on of their great mysteries of their history."

he pauses a moment and inspects the items for any auras of magic.

Begus takes a look at the iconography of the items: (take ten on both for a 21)

Perception: taking 10 for 33

marked off fireball and chain lightning x2 for the fast forward
Begus leans on his vast knowledge of all things...
kn:nature: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Not knowing what this thing is, he knows that plants hate cold so he tried a cone of cold.

cold damage: 12d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 4, 4, 2, 4, 3, 3, 6, 5, 6) + 3 = 46

reflex save of 23 for half.

Begus hears the call for some firepower and obliges:

target will be center square purple occupies

'esplosion: 10d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 4) + 4 = 35

Begus smiles at Rathen, "sounds like a solid plan. this place is getting more exciting by the moment!

He slips his ring off and hands it to the sneakthief. "This ring as saved my life more than once. I hope it takes just as good care of you. Oh, and don't get dead. invisible corpses are hard to find!

Begus takes 10 on the know checks and shares everything with a DC of 21 or lower.

Begus does a quick cross referencing in his head to see what these things are:

kn:nature: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Thanks for keeping Begus up to date. I'm back and ready to roll

perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39

Begus senses the change in the thing and does a quick spellcraft check
(he takes 10 per his class ability for a 40).
once he knows what's going on he can plan a counter to it

Begus,noticing that he's not dead yet, continues with his conversions. His curiosity is peaked and he starts to speak a bit quicker than usual. "Yes, who are you? I'm Begus of the Pathfinder Society. What are you? How long have you need dead?"

Begus recognizes the language and tries to be diplomatic, "We did not intend to disturb you. We were attacked and simply defending ourselves."

diplomacy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

ready! and lead the way :-)

Begus can take ten on the Spellcraft for 40 and then shares what he knows about both items

Begus takes a quick look at the two item's auras and knows exactly what they are."I agree with Dora's observation of the dagger. Its magic can cause an wound it causes to bleed for a rather long time. The trident is another matter all together. It's meant to be thrown and return to the wielder." He pauses for a moment, "The most dangerous magic on this weapon it that is was made to defeat humanoid creatures, most creatures with two arms, two legs and look like all of us."

GM: it's a Alchemical Fire Focus so I believe it acts as someone hit with alchemical fire would. it was only on the first fireball btw.

reflect+1 for haste: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Begus ponders why the heck these things are still standing at all. He thinks that everything looks like a fiery hammer and goes at it again (during a level 2 pearl).

fireball: 10d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4, 5, 3, 6) + 3 = 43DC 21 reflex for half

Begus smiles at his good fortune.
take two!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Begus Takes 10 on Religion for a 21 and thinks of a great path of action.

Begus casts Fireball into the room. Before he casts, he reaches into his pack and pulls out a 'chemical fire to use as a focus(target is red dot).

Fireball damage: 10d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 1, 5, 1, 3, 6, 4, 2) + 3 = 36 DC 21 reflex for half and if they fail they catch on fire

Begus follows close behind ready to aid anyway he can. (he will survey the situation and cast Magic Missile at the target the Rath hits)

MM damage: 5d5 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 3, 1) + 8 = 23

If Rathen takes down one, Begus will ping the other.

Begus ponders for a second about the infinite possibilities that might happen. That being a wash, he casts haste on the party.

Asked in slack: we can't see these things now can we? checks are being made but according to the map we have no LoS. Just trying to figure out the situation

Begus would like to know what these things are:

Kn:religion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Begus ponders this situation for a moment and tries to recall what he has read from many hours of study:

kn:religion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Begus is quiet for some time. His forehead wrinkles seem to get deeper as he thinks. The gnome's robes wriggle for a minute as Mrs. Pricklesworth, pokes her head out and climbs onto his shoulder. "hmm, you think so?... the iconography is right but it's not what we saw up north looking for that magic axe... Yes, yes I think you are correct, Young Lady."

Begus again focuses on the group as he pet his rather intelligent hedgehog. Begus addresses the group: " These images are the markings of Orcus, the deamon lord of the undead. He focuses his domain on practicing the vile art of necromancy. What's curious is that these are a bit different from what I have seen in the past, but Mrs. Prickleswoth assures me that I am right."

"On a personal note, those cats scare Mrs. Pricklesworth to no end." The rodents nose wiggles and Begus smiles at her, "She also said that she forgot how handsome Rathen is" Begus adds with a smile on his face.
