☠ Bláinn Váfriðrfaðir ☠'s page

Just looking forward to going back to my own avatar. I know two identical skeletons would have been a pain for the GM, but I spent the whole game confused about who I was.

Bláinn attends the meal, spending more time making skeleton puns than eating the food; it's hard to enjoy flavors without a tongue. He is just as happy to find his next job farther from the water, since he is not particularly buoyant, and definitely doesn't want to be around when the rat-catching team is selected. He does make sure to visit the Clawhold at least once before leaving Augustana to apologize to their crew for the harm he did before they teamed up (and possibly judge the cannonball contest that is sure to break out).

Arazni Lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

The pirates don't seem like a receptive audience for a sermon about the Unyielding Lady.

Bláinn climbs the deck and joins the merry misfits that are this Pathfinder team.

"I know you think you need to cut your own path through the world to keep your crew safe, because they don't fit in with society. But look at us. You wouldn't expect there to be a group welcoming of literal undead like me, but here I am, working with the Pathfinder Society. Surely those are the types of allies your crew deserve?"

The skeleton pauses to think for a moment. "Also, it can't hurt to be on the side of Captain Bennary instead of against her, should you meet upon the high seas."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

"Go take care of that monkey," Bláinn commands as he gives the captain some improvised acupuncture.

"Well, I for one don't think what's in your pants has anything to do with your effectiveness as a leader. Though that may be because I don't have much of anything there..."

Agree with Ulvard. Do what you need to do, and we will be here to be pretend skeletons et al. for you when you're ready.

Another oil of unlife for me, and a nice fruit basket featuring muskmelons for the captain.

Bláinn has little to add that hasn't been covered already by his... colorful teammates.

"No, really, we're on your side. And you don't want ot be unprepared for what's chasing us."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

"Grab that, that's the good stuff!"

Deception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

The skeleton is his own ladder.

It's easier to squeeze through tight spaces if you don't have any inconvenient flesh.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

And easier still if you don't get a rib caught on something.

Acrobatics, Hero Point, Promotional Vestments: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27

Even skeletons need to work, you know?

Deception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

"Well, I've got no brains at all, and if Bob dies, it's because he ate one of the pirates. Either way, gorilla's might be an improvement.

"By the by, 'eat one of the pirates' is still an option here."

'Something Charismatic?' Really? Well whatever Bláinn said, it was sure effective!

Wasn't sure what cop I was supposed to be here, but it was clearly the right one.

Not sure how well it works to have Diplomacy and Intimidation going at the same time, but my modifier is the same for both.

Something Charismatic: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Perhaps things will be different with the pink pirate.

It worked so well last time, let's try it again!

Depends what you're trying to accomplish. Unarmed attack if it's for damage. Bull rush to sink them?

Thank you. I didn't think the NPCs were trying to kill me again, but one never knows.

Bláinn sends some cold iron needles at the goblin in blue.

Which make a lovely addition to the rough planks of the dock.

Sorry, this game didn't alert for me until I was 18 messages behind.

Then Nairaba grabs out a healing potion, and Kitsch loads it in a dart and shoots it at Bláinn.

[dice=Healing for Bláinn] 2d8 + 5

If this actually happened, Bláinn lost 16 HP. Oil of unlife exists so skeletons have a potion equivalent.

Bláinn's action will depend on the results of Artemios' appeal.

Bláinn has no intention to go toe-to-toe with any large primates, so backs off while calling out to the dockworkers.

Intimidation: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

"Everyone out of here, or you're going to end up looking like me before your time!"

Bláinn is fine where he is.

"I'd be less concerned about the suck and more concerned about the rats."

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"We are the pack of undead," Bláinn remarks, gesturing at Hector and Bob.

Bláinn passes on both wines, politely noting, "They go right through me." He does toss some crab cakes to Bob.

"Any assassins willing to take on a pack of undead will be formidable indeed. Unless they are also a pack of undead..."

"Bláinn Váfriðrfaðir," the less gregarious skeleton offers with a bow. He then indicates his slimy companion. "And my friend here is Bob."

Bláinn and Hector, could one of you please change to a different Skeleton Avatar? The twin images are really going to mess me up.

Bláinn pulls a cowl over his head. "Do we look different enough now?"

Can't promise I won't try to move Hector's token, though.

Are you saying we all look the same to you? ;)

"Is this the spot for the meeting?" a skeleton that clearly used to be a dwarf (based on the stocky build and wispy beard that still clings to the jawbone) asks as he approaches the already-loaded table. "I heard this was a good place for seafood, but since I've already been sleeping with the fishes, I..."

He does a double-take as he spots Hector. "Well, I don't think I've seen another of my kind. Above ground, that is." He offers a bony hand to the flamboyant skeleton. "Bláinn Váfriðrfaðir, at your service. Though if you don't mind my saying, you look more like something my ancestors - or descendants, at this point - would have dug up. Definitely an improvement over these old bones, though."

"So, did you all already get the speech about what spells would be a really bad idea to use on us?" he continues, turning to the others at the table. "I'd imagine dying once is enough for most people; I prefer not to do so a second time just yet."

He then walks around the table, shaking the hands of the other agents, revealing a vaguely humanoid pile of purple goo. "Oh, this is Bob. He will be joining us, and would also appreciate not getting the standard restorative magic."

Wait... this is a two skeleton table?

The nice skeleton heads somewhere unobtrusive to listen to the speeches.

Last Turn

◆ Act Together
- ◆ Point Out

"Gah, flesh creatures with your squishy eyeballs. It's right there!" He gives relative directions to the others.

This Turn

◆ Act Together
- ◆ Point Out

"Okay, now it's moved over the water further. There!" Again, relative directions are given.

Can I change my action hat wasn't used to whiff at myself to Point Out instead?

◆ Act Together

+1 Fist: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Glad I'm not alive.

Bláinn sends Bob back into the fray, trying to protect him better this time.

◆ Act Together

"Thanks, everyone, and... wind?"

Religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Bláinn will manifest Bob again if he has a round to spare before more things happen.

Bláinn hopes someone finds the oil of unlife among his possessions. Or would, if he were conscious.

Ooh. What you running?

Betrayal in the Bones and Rasheen's Requiem. But what I meant by that is that many of my characters may need to purchase Second Chance boons in the near future.

"Ow, that one rattled my bones."

Bláinn also ponders the creature in front.

Bláinn judges the distances and decides to wait for the enemy to get a bit closer. Delay

Bláinn pulls out the oil the Society gave them before leaving and pours it on Bob.

Negative Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Neither of them has much else they can do in preparation except move into position.

Bláinn prefers to be the only undead in his general vicinity.

What carnival bears??

Probably a cut and paste error.

Bláinn sends Bob into the fray, with some protection.

Bláinn sends Bob to the fore to potentially provide protection while performing a bony dance.

Well, at least he has the creature's attention. He won't be any use giving it orders, but does point out that it is acting more friendly toward the Pathfinders.
