"Bottles" Lazuli's page

Thanks! Sorry I had to bug out at the last minute

I'm going on vacation for a week. I'm not sure how much connectivity i'll have there, but I'll certainly be AFK Saturday and Sunday.

Feel free to bot Bottles while i'm gone, all the neccesary info is on his sheet, including pre-calculated bonuses for when he's small.

Bottles moves forward, and suddenly drinks from a vial. He rappidly shrinks to half height.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Once it is clear the door is locked Bottles runs back, out of range and waits for those who can to unlock it.

He'll ready his Wand of Cure Light Wounds to heal the damage taken in the cause.

Bottles shrugs.

"Locked doors are not my specialty. Can somebody do something about this?"

"Err, ahem... as much as I'd like to stay and examine this object-- I fear we have other things to do at the moment..."

run for it.

Bottles lifts an alchemist's fire, but can't throw without hitting an ally.

reserves his action for if/when a goblin isn't adjacent to an ally.

Throw Spalsh Weapon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 - vs touch AC

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Do deceide where you wish to go?

Based on what? The dragon gone. So what are we trying to do? Which way is the lodge? Our characters know this place, but to me it is a bunch of random rooms.

Bottles votes for sneak

Bottles tries to come to the aid of Fundir, but nearly knocks him on the back of the head.

Morningstar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Bottles peers at the feather a momen.

"That's a Feather Token! When you use it, it turns into a magic weapon that weilds itself for an hour or so."

Suprized by the sudden rush of goblins, "Bottles" grabs for a weapon.

"Stay Back!" he cries while flailing wildly with his little morningstar.

Morningstar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Bottles has a wand. Is someone hurt now? If so I must have missed that post

Also GM:

"GM's - once your table has decided their course of action and made any applicable rolls"

Does this mean we all have to decide to do the same thing?

"Bottles" scans the area through his thick spectacles.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

I still see two goblins on the map. Are they dead or alive?

Bottles sneaks up closer to the action. double move

Bottles dives for cover then tries to find a vantage point where he can lob projectiles without being an easy target.

We leave the Iorium and go to the Grand Lodge...

Exit occurs after 10 rounds. sorry.

It seems like we need to drag the details from you about the current situation.

Bottles has no buffs he wants to apply at this time.

Since there seems nothing to do, and no where to go, he'll ready an alchemist's fire, and skip his turns until the next encounter.

So we move towards the exit for three rounds?

Note that the objective is to fight your way out of the Irioum.

OK, but I don't see anything to indicate which way that might be.

"Bottles" rushes at the pair of goblins and tosses a bomb at the nearest one.

Throw Bomb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 - vs touch AC
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 splash damage 5. reflex 15 for half
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 8 - splash weapon rules

"You've ruined the demonstration!"

Standing in the middle of a long line, "Bottles" shakes his fist at the dragon, jumping up and down in fury.

"I didn't get to ask my question yet!!!"

Once he realizes the mock siege is over, "Bottles" is all focused attention, and the book is put away.

The Professor whistles as the artifact is revealed. "Quite impressive. You think it does what he says?"

"One would hope not. It sound quite dangerous-- and usually it is other people who are telling me something is too dangerous. Though it could certainly clear up a number of annoying blank spots and contradictions in early Osirani dynastic progressions. Do you think he can talk to a ghost from the 5th southern dynasty? Or would they all be on the other side of the sea?"

"Bottles" follows the other pathfinders, but once seated in the Iorium, he is soon burried in a tome written in strange glyphs.

Earlier:

There's a gnome walking through the crowd, both hands holding a large tome of hieroglyphic symbols. Half by luck he seems to avoid most of the other pedestrians, but he bumps into a large grey-scaled leg then stumbles into a fellow gnome.

He look up from the book, blinking magnified eyes, through thick glasses, as if finding himself somewhere unexpected.

His mop of wavy blue hair surrounds his head like a nimbus. He wears simple clothing in several places marred by burns or stains. About his person, bulging out of pockets, attached to bandoleers, tied to a string around his neck, and sticking out of a boot-top are a motley assortment of little bottles, each containing something different. Some bottles contain a glowing liquid, or a shrivled flower, many contain colorful powders, or fog, or what might be water, blood, milk, and honey.

'Bottles', they call me, I don’t know why…” he says to the room, and then to himself, "Yes, I remember, I'm going to a party…”

He blinks and looks around.

Are we still waiting for people to show up, or do we have to wait for the official start date? Or both?

I have no idea what this is, but how can I find out more about it so I can participate in the future?

This is a Flaxseed Lodge Play-By-Post (PbP) game

The link will give you information on how to PbP, as well as well as how to find a game to join.

I like it. It's easier for me to play 5-15 minutes a day rather than schedual several hours with a group.

The gnome perks up at the mention of the display of an artifact. He's clearly eager to observe on his own behalf.

Thanks, sheet looks fine.

I put up both maps to let you choose...

Oh, I must have missed that part. My bad then.

I didn't really involve bottles in the decision for RP reasons, and somebody got a really good roll to find a place to fight.

But my thought was the idea battle ground would be a wide-open space where we can all spread out and get at him from range, for those of us who are ranged, with the melee types opposite.

Thanks Iff, that was great!

I feel like some of the more jaded GMs rush things a bit too much, and push player to the next plot point, but you struck a good balance between keeping things moving but letting us figure stuff out.

The only part that bugged me was in the fight with the mask you placed our PCs, and started combat before we got the lay of the land, when we had the chance to set up and prepare better, by lighting the area and so on. But I expect you've figured that out.

Also I thought that was a pretty crumy place to choose to fight the mask, but that might have been mandated by the adventure.

Quite disapointing. It promised to be so much more... but still no harm done."

...As soon as he touches it, the magic holding it aloft seems to break. The gnome isn't quick enough to catch it, and the cube breaks upon impact on the ground.

"Awww... now I can't find out what it was!"

"Bottles reaches for the strange silver cube. As soon as he touches it, the magic holding it aloft seems to break. The gnome isn't quick enough to catch it, and the cube breaks upon impact on the ground."

Ha! I had no idea what was going to happen, I just played him as curious and incautious. I was pretty sure it was going to blow up in my face!

Bottles wanders over to the small floating silver object and reaches up to grab it.

No idea what kind of roll, if any is required...

1d20 ⇒ 10

"What just happened to my bomb!?!"

Know:Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

A look of pure confusion and astonishment cover his face.

Will Save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

"I know this foe really isn't me, but some show of reluctance or hesitation would be nice..." Bottles complains.

But he tosses another bomb at the evil mirror gnome anyway. avoiding big man's square

Throw Bomb: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 = 15 - vs touch AC
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8 splash damage 6. reflex 15 for half
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 2 - splash weapon rules

don't forget to move your characters on the map, looking at you, "big man".

Following the wake of Ogmios' charge, Bottles steps up within easy toss of the chrystaline abomination, and tosses yet another fire bomb. With a clever spin, he manages to keep the flame off Ogmios.

Throw Bomb: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 = 26 - vs touch AC
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11 splash damage 6. reflex 15 for half
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 2 - splash weapon rules

Bottles chugs his extract as he draws near. With a small cloud of smoke, he rapidly reduces to an 18 in high gnome.

" I like the extra arms. Seems handy. But the longspear? Not really a tiny gnome's weapon. Real gnomes burn it with Fire!

Maybe if we beat this guardian we can get something more archive-ish going on in this realm-- instead of this fever-dream."

Bottles seems oblivious to the oddness of the circumstances, merely annoyed that the promised meeting of great minds has not occureed.

"Don't forget, we still have this from earlier!"

Bottles holds up a potion of "Blur".

"I don't need it..."

Bottles will have an AC of 19 once he takes the extract of "Reduce Person" he is preparing, so I don't feel I need additional buffs.

Bottles looks around at the vaugely familiar shop.

"Don't mind me-- I have a little alchemy to do..."

Bottles takes 1 minute to prepare his last extract for the day: reduce person

"I'm beginning to think all the great minds the archive has collected have gone mad! Is this the best they have to offer? Being attacked by clay statues that don't even burn!?! The cream of an entire civilization?"

As his rant runs out of steam, he peers around the corner.

" So, what's beyond the porcullis?"

who actually has the rope? Or didn't anyone pick it up?

sorry for lagging...

"Terracotta? Fire and flame may not be an effective weapon. But it certainly is worth trying it to find out! A bomb is it own reward!"

Throw Bomb: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 = 21 - touch AC
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8 splash damage 6. reflex 15 for half
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 6 - splash weapon rules

... taking the potion to bottles he hands it to the Gnome with a smile,

"Any idea what this is my friend?"

Bottles takes the potion and removing the stopper, takes a couple sniffs.

alchemy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

"Um... It smells familiar...I don't know."

"About the rope: Remember the command word is "Forget me Knot""

"Most unpleasant creature..." Bottles mutters, but then seeing the new shiny he trots up to the new item the statue revealed, and looks it over through his thick glasses...

Know:Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 ?
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 ?

"Begone vapourous apparition!"

Throw Bomb: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9 splash damage 6. reflex 15 for half
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Red/black dot marks where he's throwing the bomb should it be relevant.
