Bella Sidare's page

"I admire your flair for the dramatic, Zig. It seems like these ferocious felines are quite intelligent. They do not hunger for food, not afraid of running water nor fire."

"But if we build our fortifications just right. We may be able to force them to enter in limited directions. Enough that we can cover directly."

Yes, the forum has a limit on long posts, and it never shows spoilers in the repost either. I can't wait for the eventual update to the forums.

I usually have 2 posts: one for the NPC actions and another for the round status/who is up next.

Bella and Khiari share the same HP pool. Do note if we are hit with the same effect at the same time (like we're caught in a fireball, for example) we only take damage once. We always take the greater change in hit points.

On the plus side, we're two entities so we can benefit from Battle Medicine twice.

"How unfortunate." Bella feels the jaws clamp around her.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Escape via Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
"Sister? How do you fare?"

Khiari yelps. "This dog is trying to bite off my leg. And the big one just grabbed Nicole! I'm gonna help her!"

Khiari bears her horns, but at Nicole. "Stand still, I'll try to push ya."
Khiari Shove vs Nicole's Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 5 = 5 Critical Failure, so...

Khiari tries to lock horns to wedge out Nicole but the canine rebuffs her, knocking her over. She scrambles to regain her balance.

◆ Bella Escapes (tries to, anyway)
◆ Khiari Shoves Nicole, Critically Fails
◆ Khiari Stands Up

"Two flames! Two dancers! Two tries! On the double!" Bella and Khiari hustle into action.

I'm assuming it takes 1 action to extinguish the flames.
Bella's Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Khiari will Stride up to the flame and extinguish it if it takes 1 action.
Khiari's Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

I got Ninja'd by Roark. I'll wait for the GM to resolve which flames are still active.

"All right. All right." Bella finishes her march and gives Khiari a quick glare. "Remember, you have nothing to fear but fear itself. Speaking of which, I did defeat a Spirit of Fear. It had four legs, barked at me, saliva slobbering from its long tongue!" She wonders if these goblins have fear of dogs.

Deception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

"It reared upon me and I slapped it across the snout. Bad! Very bad! No biscuit! The creature whined in fear and fled. I laughed as the Fear ran away. And so can you!"

Well, that dog was poorly behaved. At least it provided a benefit for the team.

Bella silently notes Muckmuck's lack of enthusiasm. Maintaining morale is priority.

"Good evening, everyone!" Bella gets the goblin's attention while Khiari hoists falling goblins back onto the cart. "Hard work is hard, but the time can pass if you whistle while you work!"

Bella takes a deep breath and starts to whistle, marching alongside the wagons while exaggerating her steps. Khiari soon follows, clomping her hooves on the offbeat.

Performance: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 1 = 13
Performance: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 1 = 18

Khiari almost kicks Bella's legs, but the woman quickly improves and tries to salvage the rhythm.

Khiari drags Bella away before she slaps Darlene for being so rude. Muckmuck is much nicer.

"Clover, feel free to showcase some of your cuisine to the locals. We'll have this bridge issue cleaned up in an instant." Bella pauses and drinks some of the yogurt smoothie to alleviate the spice. Khiari seems to be alright. "I've had spicier."

In the morning, Muckmuck provides a potion and bids Bella goodbye. She moves towards the caravan and curtsies to the curt driver. "Greetings. Yigrig Moneymaker has requested the Pathfinder Society to help secure the bridge. We are here to assist you."

On the way out, Bella makes sure to get an >Oak Potion<. Just in case.

"I thought these had a different name? Something about bark skin?" Bella muses.

Khiari shrugs. "Probably? Names are fleeting, anyway. Don't get hung up on it."

I have 2-23 all prepped and ready, so I can definitely go next.

Note that you now are GMing 2 games in a row, unless someone else wants to hop in.

The goblins are quite skilled in their singing, although Bella remains confused on who exactly is Mister Crabs, and why they would discuss it so openly.

Katapesh's market is busy, but there's no sense of community. It feels so dry. Money and goods exchange but no one seems happy.

Yigrig's estate seems to annoy Bella more than anything. How do you keep suck a large estate but leave it in such poor state? The merchant class is so eager to pretend to be noble they forget the core values of nobility: Presentation, Perseverance and Provision. If you can't present well, then scale down until you can.

"Greetings, madam. We were dispatched from the Pathfinder Society to meet... Yigrig."

Player Name: Chadius
Character Name: Bella Sidare
Character PFS Number: 133608-2007
Character Level: 4
Character Faction: Envoy's Alliance
Downtime Instructions: Performance: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Favorite Color: Royal Purple with Pale Gold accents.

Access granted.

Bella walks towards the gangplank before breaking into a skip and trotting onboard.

Khiari isn't far behind. "Hey! Anyone know any sea shanties?" She grins.

The macro sheet is gone, it seems to have been deleted.

So >Here's a blank one< to fill out.

>PDF Tools< is good for extracting images from PDFs.

But the "Where in Golarion" has text overlay issues, so I usually just take a screenshot. I know that's Command+Shift+4 on a Mac. I think Windows+S works on Windows computers?

Bella spends her days working on her slam poetry and her dance moves. Plenty of stuffy suitors hold her attention long enough to mock them. Khiari is much nicer and able to avoid fights from breaking out.

When she approaches the other Pathfinders, she now has a pale blue-gray scarf around her waist. Tiny bells remain fixed on it. "Greetings, everyone. My sister acquired a beautiful scarf. She refuses to inform me of how she acquired it. But she says it was legal."

Khiari giggles and holds a hand to her mouth. Bella sighs.

"A vacation is a good idea. Forests in Galt are quite lovely at this time of year. There are many upcoming industrial conferences occurring, as the region is slowly yet steadily recovering their economy."

Eventually Steeltoe bids goodbye, with Meat Wagon blowing off two puffs smoke as a form of goodbye.

Once you have the links to maps & signups, I'll add them to the campaign header.

I just started playing a Warpriest. A Healing Font that no longer needs Charisma is so liberating!

Done.

By the way, I have 2-23 prepped and ready to play. I can GM that game when the time comes.

Just tell me what links to use when it's ready.

"I thank you for your aid, Purepurin." Bella helps prepare the meeting.

Society: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
"Forks on the left." She quickly shuffles one of the serving plates.

Khiari's Society: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Khiari simply shrugs and pours more tea.

Bella is filled with awe as the dragon presents herself to the Pathfinder dignitaries. It's not everyday you see such a majestic beast.

Khiari tugs her arm and she takes her leave.

"Yes, times have changed, for the better I believe." Bella and her sister practice tap dancing on their way out.

Thank you for the chronicles.

"Greetings, Valashinaz." Bella bows respectfully. "I am Sidare, given name Bella. We are representatives from the Pathfinder Society, and we arranged a meeting with you to exchange knowledge- and perhaps forge a new alliance."

"This is my younger sister by 7 seconds, Khiari. I'll let my teammates introduce themselves."

Bella takes a swift yet polite step back from Meat Wagon's mincemeat.

"If only your allies were as wise as you..." She quickly moves up and disarms the remaining thief. "It would be wise for you to leave. You do not wish to be here when the vault's proprietor returns."

Bella's patience finally grows thin. She runs in, baiting the remaining thief. Better she draws fire than her allies.

She runs up to the Megalictis, Black fur covered in frost. "And away with you!" She quickly and confidently punts the creature's nose with the heel of her foot.

Kick, Courageous Anthem: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 1 = 29
Bludgeoning Damage, Courageous Anthem: 2d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 + 1 = 8
Confident Finisher: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

"She comes."
"She kicks."
"She conquers!"
Bella performs a quick flourish, spinning off of her other heel and kicking in the direction of the remaining Red thief, hoping to get his attention (and earn herself some panache.)

◆ Bella Strides
◆ Bella uses >Confident Finisher< on Black
◆ Bella uses >Fascinating Performance< on Red. Thanks to >Focused Fascination<, she only needs a Success to Fascinate. Thanks to >Assurance< her Performance check is 18.
↺>Opportune Riposte< to Strike the first enemy that Critical Misses her.

"Ohho! These creatures are well trained." Bella slaps the creature on the nose when it tries to bite her. She fires once at the Black-furred creature that bit Stitch.

Shortbow, Courageous Anthem: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 = 13
Piercing Damage, Courageous Anthem: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Her aim is even worse.

She sighs and Readies herself to kick the first creature that emerges.

Oh, good catch. The only benefit would be a +1 Acrobatics bonus for Bella. Vivacious Speed already grants her a status bonus to Speed (5ft normally without Panache, 10ft with).

I'm more of a >Dancing Scarf< fan, but maybe I'll also think about the Persona Mask.

Maybe the >Bracelet of Dashing< for Khiari? Bella is quick enough.

Bella smirks at the thief in purple.
"Your fashion sense is impeccable.
Your common sense is lacking.
Surrender now,
or we'll send you packing!"

She then draws her shortbow and takes aim at the black-furred Megalictis. No point entering the room.
Shortbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

◆ >Bon Mot< against the Purple foe. She will use >Assurance< to make a Performance check of 18.
◆ Interact to draw shortbow
◆ Bella Strikes Black

Performance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

It turns out vermin love tap dancing, and Khiari is able to sell Bella's dances as environment-friendly extermination services.

"Pennies, nickels, quarters, dimes!"
"Drop your goods, while there is still time!"

"Money earned gains you fame,"
"Buy money stolen earns the owner's ire."
Bella moves towards the doorway and points at the bandit in Blue, hoping to distract them. She also regrets failing to find a good rhyme for stolen.

Khiari, meanwhile, points at Stitch. "Help my sister out before she's overrun, please."

◆ Bella Strides
◆ Bella uses >Fascinating Performance< on Blue Bandit. Thanks to >Focused Fascination<, she only needs a Success to Fascinate. Thanks to >Assurance< her Performance check is 18.
◆ Khiari casts >Guidance< on Stitch.

Bella and Khiari stare wide eyed at Meat Wagon as it revs up and blasts over the pile. Raw power, pure energy and fine craftsmanship. It's enough to make a woman forget about the imminent construct revolution what were they thinking about again?

"...let us catch up to the traders." Bella mumbles absentmindedly.

"That poor hippogriff..."

Thievery: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 28

Bella's instincts take over, and she dashes in and tugs at the jar without a second thought.

"Sis, the hippogriff is dead already." Khiari yells.

"Those rodents were adorable."

Watching the liquid spill, she simply smiles. "Sister. The floor is lava!"

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

A quick prance here, a leap there, and a twirl for extra style. Bella and Khiari race each other across the pool. "That was exciting."

Bella puts her hands on her hips and turns to the team. "Reproduce my movements and you should be unscathed."

Khiari sighs. "Not everyone can hop like you, sis..."

I assume we get only 1 check for this challenge?

"Now now, everyone and everything has its place. Father made sure to remind me of that."
Performance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

"Now, my sister taught me this. Some creatures respond better to vibrations than sight." With this, Bella quickly attaches some taps to her shoes and begins moving in rhythym. Step, Step, Pivot, Step, Tap Tap Pause.

Step, Step, Pivot, Step, Tap Tap Pause.
(Khiari jumps and taps her hooves together during the pause)

Step, Step, Pivot, Step, Tap Tap Pause.

Hopefully it's enough to keep the critters at bay. If not, well, it's good dance practice.

Bella slaps the final bat silly. "You should be more respectful with the host's property."

She finally gets a moment to introduce herself. "My apologies, but time was of the essence. I am Sidare, first name Bella. This is my sister, Khiari." Khiari simply waves hello.

"We were dispatched by the Pathfinder Society to meet your Boss. Valashinaz. We wish to have an exchange of knowledge, and have brought with us a gift. Chronicles that describe the history of a few of the treasures within these vaults."

Bella's Reflex DC 17: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 Critical Success
Bella snatches the coins and then gently puts them back down. "I admire your generosity, but I don't these are yours." She looks past the bat with White Fur. "Sister, over here."

The sisters Stride into flanking position before Bella slaps the bat again.

Fist, Courageous Anthem vs White (Flanked): 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 = 16
Bludgeoning Damage, Courageous Anthem: 2d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 + 1 = 10
Confident Finisher: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

Bella Strides
Khiari Strides
Bella uses Confident Finisher on White. Bella loses her Panache.

Bella ducks underneath the bat and realizes it can swoop in and fly away. She grins. "Catch me if you can!" and she retreats.

Khiari rubs her nose and notices the bat conveniently flew out of range. "TIMBERRRRR!" She stomps the ground as a decaying oak rises from the ground. She kicks it and it topples on the White bat.

Bludgeoning Damage: 3d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 1) = 9

◆ Bella Strides
◆◆ Khiari casts >Timber<. White bat must make a Reflex Save, DC 16.

I botted Stitch. I assume Meat Wagon does not benefit from Inspire Courage, as it is a construct.

Despite me forgetting, don't forget your Courageous Anthem bonuses.

Bella moves ahead to slap the bat with Green fur.

Fist, Guidance: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 1 = 28
Bludgeoning Damage, Panache: 2d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 + 2 = 6

"Donate your funds to those who need it, thank you."

Meanwhile, Khiari moves towards the bat with White fur.

◆ Bella Strides
◆ Bella Strikes Green
◆ Khiari Strides

Rubbing her face, Bella notices one of the bats throwing treasure at her.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 Success, reduced to 3 damage

This time she pulls a pirouette. "Sister, beware."

The bats fly towards Bella, and she tries to backflip-

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 Failure, 1 damage

and she almost faceplants in the process.

"Greetings, Lady Purepurin. I am Sidare, given-" Bella can barely fit a curtsy in before the hunt is on. Khiari is already around the corner. "Never a dull moment!" Bella gives chase and catches up.

"More pests? I will serve as a distraction." Bella saunters ahead and faces the bat with white fur. She clears her throat before hooting like an owl. Maybe the bat will enjoy her imitation. Maybe it will grant some panache.

Performance, Assurance vs White Bat's Will Save DC: 18 = 18

"Good luck, sis!" Khiari applies a bit of guidance to help.

◆ Bella Strides
◆ Bella uses >Fascinating Performance< on White Bat. Thanks to >Focused Fascination<, she only needs a Success to Fascinate. Thanks to >Assurance< her Performance check is 18. Success means she gets panache.
[ooc]◆ Khiari casts >Guidance<[ooc]

I'm just poking the thread as we haven't played in a few weeks. Are we waiting for anything?

I have a 8 Bard and a 7 Sorcerer in that range. He's frontline but relies more on illusions to help out. Sorcerer summons fey. Contact me if a spot opens up.

The >kobold< is trying to fight off the rats. Seems friendly so far.

"I'm coming, sister!" Bella prances along once Stitch finishes his fiery demonstration.

Has anyone heard from Hmm lately? I hope she is doing alright.

Happy New Year, everyone. I hope you had a fabulous time.
