Profession: Mercenary for Bodie

Prof: Merc: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Doubled becomes 38 Credits

While Bodie could probably yell his point across to the ghibrani there, he nods to Brother Tim for a calmer perspective.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

"For all we know, Mother TouLoo cause be an instrument of Orus. Maybe as things progress, you can work in elements of Orus' doctrines."

Bodie ponders.
"Orus? Orus? What should I know about Orus, Brother Tim? For some reason, I think that she's kinda sketch..."

Brother Tim offers his counsel.
"Well, Orus is all about change & adaptation. And while her actions, & those of her agents, may tend toward being serendipitous, perhaps even chaotic, in this situation, I'd think that change is what the ghibrani need. They're already on their path from the caste system toward a merged society, so why not allow this Mother Tooloo to guide them along that path? Plus, this oasis is a fine symbol of things to come."

That's a vote to allow the sapling oracle to continue.

"Ainsley - Bodie Creed is MY name, not the plant wahinie's." whispers Bodies out the side of his mouth.

Bodie's Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Bodie seems unaffected.

Brother Tim offers information
Life Science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

"Bodie Creed, Champion of Iomadae & Knight of Golarion, at your service. Totally not from this place - we're from back in the Pact Worlds. While I do love a good beach, it's gotta have some tubular waves to make it a complete package. This place is a bit dry for my taste.
"I think that Mother Touloo is some kinda saint or visionary prophet for the locals."

Bodie takes the time to slip back into his golemforged armor before joining the crowd.

Bodie also gives it a whirl, after getting out of his armor & donning his Bastrovelean beach shirt & surf shorts

Culture?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Bodie doesn't manage to local dance all that well but tries to hula along with the local music.

Since the Yellow-tinged beast is right there, Bodie offers it a battle-glove feast - right in the mouth.

It's battle-glove time! for Yellow vs KAC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Bludgeoning smackdown: 1d4 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

"YA WANT SOME! HAVE SOME!" Bodie bellows.

Sadly, no overlooked +1 that I see.

"Thanks, Ears. Bounding up for a better shot - I'll make your spell count."

With that, Bodie's jetpack blasts into action, launching Iomadae's champion up onto the intervening rocks, landing just shy of the Red-tinged beast.

"Yah want some more? Have some more then."

augmented boomer rifle vs Black's EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
augmented sonic damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (5, 3, 5, 3) = 23

"Man, too much chop. Sorry, little brah."

Oh - I forgot the crit effect of the weapon - Deafen.
DC 16 Fortitude or be deafened for minutes duration: 1d4 ⇒ 2 minutes.[/dice]

Will save DC13: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

"Brah - I've heard waves crash on the rocks louder than that." yells Bodie while he moves for a clear shot at the boss beast.

Finding a likely though precarious spot on the ledge, Bodie aims over the rock & blasts away with the augmented rounds.

Boosted Boomer Rifle vs Black Beast's EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Crit-i-fied sonic blast vs Black: 2d10 + 10 + 8d6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 10 + (1, 6, 1, 6, 4, 4, 1, 4) = 42

"AWESOME!!"

Bodie and Aluradux both easily recognise these things as sand brutes, the beast reported as the main predators on this planet. The black one looks to be an alpha, stronger and tougher than the rest of them. Their hides reflect laser fire to an extent, so firing lasers at them can be dangerous, and they have a very imposing roar that can rattle the weak of mind. Nothing Yuluzak is worried about.

I suppose that makes Bodie go for the Boomer Rifle instead - what is the damage on that one?

It's a d8 base and has a shorter range, so there'd be a -2 to the attack (22).

boomer rifle - sonic damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

"Hey - Brother Tim - got any info on these chowderheads?" Bodie yells back behind him.

Brother Tim tries to ID the beasts. Life Science to RK: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

With practiced ease (i.e. Quick Draw), Bodie brings a rifle to the ready (either an artillery laser or a Boomer rifle, depending on what Brother Tim reveals).

He moves for a better shot & fires at the Black one in the back.

laser rifle vs Black EAC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
fire damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Survival teaches about natural itch cures: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

After making sure that he mentions the quicksand consistency, Bodie falls in behind Yuluzak.

Acobatics to evade the nettles: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Mysticism as Br. Tim calls Left-Right-Duck: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Survival to follow the breeze: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

As the ball clangs off the target & Bodie feels the seat release, it reminds him a bit of his days as a drop trooper - the anticipation, that null-g pause between losing support & starting to fall.

Mostly though, he thinks

"I sure hope that my enviro-seals hold."

Goop Swimming Athletics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Bodie looks around, then sighs.

I guess I'll take the 1st dip. he says as he heads for the dunking seat - his smile may seem a little forced.

As he sits down he activates his environmental seals.

Bodie is Very enthusiastic.
And very unskilled in this theater of operations.

Piloting: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Not the most Perceptive soldier: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Bodie (along with Brother Tim's watching on the video feed) heads into the maze.

• Navigate the haunted house Survival to navigate: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
• Evade the mechanical drake Athletics for drake evasion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
• Solve the puzzles Physical Science to solve puzzles: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
• Speak with the spooky holographic ghosts Intimidate to yell at ghosts: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Bodie's plan is fine by me.

Best options for Ainsley -
• Navigate the haunted house +14 piloting
• Evade the mechanical drake +16 Stealth
• Solve the puzzles +10 Mysticism/Perc
• Speak with the spooky holographic ghosts +8 diplomacy

My take is that Ainsley's our best test subject (so far, at least)

What Bodie could do.

Navigate the haunted house (Perception +1, or Survival +11)
Evade the mechanical drake (Acrobatics +7, or Athletics +10)
Solve the puzzles (Mysticism +1 (+9 Hireling), Physical Science +0 (+9 Hireling), or Perception +1)
Speak with the spooky holographic ghosts (Bluff +1, Diplomacy +1, Intimidate +11)

I'm not really sure if having Brother Tim whispering in Bodie's ear would count as a valid test of the games.

I'm good with moving on to Task 2: All's Fair.
Then perhaps Task 4: Hunting Party, just for some action.
I'd like to do Task 6: Mother Tooloo's Miracle for the final task.

"And I guess the ysoki has to sweep it all up."

Ears grabs a broom and gets to work. He uses it to upend a table and bulldoze the worst of the mess to the side of the food court.

"You're not alone, Brah - we'll get this mess sorted soon enough." Bodie says as he nudges a bucket around with his foot while mopping up some of the messiest kahlgee spots.

Bodie enthusiastically gets involved with the cleanup efforts.

Cleanup Athletics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Bodie shakes his head.

Partly because he enjoys a good fight - it's a better way to blow off steam than resorting to actual fighting.

Partly because he's heard how scarce food is for the Ghibtani.

He opts to bellow at the entire lot.

"STOP! - all of you, just stop! This luau is about bringing all you people together & that means embracing BOTH cultures for their unique strengths. So, All of you - sit down, shaddup, & try both dishes!"

Bodie intimidates the crowd: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

local sourcing Survival check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

"Let's see what we can scare up, to help out the Auntie."

"I'll try some of that. Wonder if it tastes like poi?"

Bodie works his way over to the area where the contestants are milling around.

He'll join in the stretching exercises & try to engage the others in some conversation.

"How're are things so far? Any clue what sorts of events? Weight lifting? Running? Team sports?"

Brother Tim watches those imbibing the fizzy drinks, curious what the effects of Akivaz on the Ghibrabi.

Life Science: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Soldier 5 (Knight of Golarion)

A broad-shoulder golem makes its way into the room, followed closely by a middle-aged human man. Both bear Iomadae's blade on their chests. The man carries a tablet while the golem carries paired heavy firearms slung over its shoulders.

"Well met." he says. "I'm Brother Tim, of Her Lady's Church of Iomadae & the Knights of Golarion. This is my champion, Bodacious Creed, also a Knight. We've come to provide support for the upcoming festivities, both spiritual & martial, as needs be.

With a nod to the golem that's at least a foot taller than him & outmasses him by a significant amount as well, Brother Tim finishes with "You may as well great our companions, Bodacious."

Overly large golem fists grasp either side of the golem's head & with a twist & a pop, they remove a helmet revealing the toothy smile & buzz-cut black hair of a half-orc.

He flashes a hang loose sign & nods.

"Bodacious Creed, Knight on the loose, surfing the waves of the cosmos. You can call me Bodie. How're all you brahs & wahines doing today? I heard there was gonna be a par-tay?"

Brother Tim rolls his eyes.
