Brekovi's page

Thanks for the game!

Looks like I really need to learn a more offensive 4th rank spell, preferably one that doesn’t use Fortitude saves. Will need to review my options a bit before I play Brekovi again.

Seeing the battle is done, Brekovi waits a few minutes before tentatively coming back into the firelight, checking if it still sickens him. He then offers the healing potions he got for provisioning to Kidron and and BakBak.

He then helps put things back in order as his wounds slowly heal.

When the mayor asks about the watch, Brekovi admits “We met Wanikkawi. We are fortunate that we survived the encounter.”

Brekovi tries arcing electricity between Wanikkawi and the remaining corpse.
Electric Arc: 5d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 4, 2) = 12 DC 25 basic reflex

Then he tries throwing his dagger at Blue. The dagger returns to his hand.
Hand of the Apprentice: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
Slashing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Restoring someone to full hp only removes wounded after resting for 10 minutes

Huh!

It seems I’ve been running this wrong. I missed the part about 10 minute rest.

I don’t have shield active. I’m surprised that with the clumsy 2 a 33 failed to crit.
Am I still sickened?

Brekovi drains his bonded staff in order to recover his Acid Arrow spell, casts a divination and then the spell he just recovered at Wanikkawi.

[free action] Drain Bonded Item
◆ Cast Sure Strike
◆◆ Cast Acid Arrow

Spell Attack vs Wanikkawi, sickened: 1d20 + 15 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 15 - 1 = 22 Will take other roll
Spell Attack vs Wanikkawi, sickened: 1d20 + 15 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 15 - 1 = 33
Acid damage: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 8, 2) = 15 Plus d6 persistent damage

Concealment is acceptable as long as it isn’t full concealment.

Brekovi stands up, casts shield, and then moves just outside the firelight.

Can I see Blue from the position I moved to?

“Guess we have to destroy the corpses before we can take care of the coward offering false power.”

Brekovi continues to maintain the orb, seeing if he can push Wanikkawi further away from him.

He then causes sparks of electricity to attack the two corpses.
◆ Sustain
◆◆ Cast Electric Arc on Blue and Green

Electric Arc DC 24 after sickened: 5d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 1, 3) = 15
Concealment, Blue: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Concealment, Green: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Brekovi's Will Save (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24 Normal failure

“I’ve been mostly useless here anyways. Guess I will try something different.”

Brekovi has his orb move into the space that Wannikawa is standing.

He then tries to shoot blue with an acid arrow.
Acid Arrow: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Acid damage: 3d8 ⇒ (1, 2, 3) = 6 Plus d6 persistent on hit. Double initial damage on crit.

◆ Sustain Aqueaous Orb
◆◆ Cast Acid Arrow

How doea gis reaction workith dazzled?

We are dealing with two different things here, the damage reduction and the ability to strike.

Your reaction is Retributive Strike.

Dazzled gives everyone concealment.

When you target a creature that’s concealed from you, you must attempt a DC 5 flat check before you roll to determine your effect. If you fail, you don’t affect the target.

Since nothing in the section about reducing damage for Retributive Strike indicates you are targeting a creature, I don’t think Dazzled applies. If it does, you would need to do the DC 5 check.

Since neither of the attackers is in your reach for either of the two possible Retributive Strikes, you will not have a chance to do an attack. If you were able to attack, that would be affected by Dazzled.

There is room for disagreement on if the damage reduction would be targeted. If our GM has a different reading, I would not argue with it.

Brekovi takes a step back and then summons a large orb of water. It then rolls to the right. If it manages to engulf Wanikkawi it then rolls completely over him, otherwise it goes for engulfing blue and blocking the space between him and Wanikkawi.

◆ Step
◆◆ Cast Aqueous Orb, aka the swimming test.
Try to engulf first Wanikkawi. If that fails go for Blue.

Seeing Xun looking sick, Brekovi says “So your version of immense power is to make someone want to throw up? What are you trying to share your misery Wanikkawi?”

Ouch! +20 Fort on an enemy is rough.

Brekovi moves to in front of the fire and casts a spell causing a torrent of water to shoot forth through the space that the corpse and Wanikkawi are in.
◆ Stride
◆ ◆ Cast hydraulic torrent
Bludgeoning damage, DC 23 basic Fort save: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 3, 5, 6, 6, 5) = 36 Knocked back 5’ on failure, 10’ on critical failure.

“Forget it, you and your crew are all washed up.”

Wish the spell just allowed drawing a line so I could get dark blue as well.

I apologize for trying to develop a plan of action.

I would like to apologize for coming off as harsh as I had.

I greatly prefer conversations such as tactics either be done in character or put in the discussion area if they are to be out of character. I don’t like diverting the in character description for discussions that are out of character.

Who is still waiting on a response from the party

The scenario name is Protecting the Firelight. We have things that give us bonuses within the range of the firelight. Yes, in general it is better to stay in the area of the firelight that we are supposed to protect. That said, if your character has something that only works outside that area you know your capabilities better than I.

Next time please give us something in character so we can respond in character.

“History has shown what happens when people give up. I am not one to abandon all hope, there is more to life than just survival.”

Brekovi's Society (T): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

As you might have noticed Xun is actually not excelling at diplo ;)

I am waiting to break a total of 20 on my most recent dice rolls.

Most recent d20 rolls have been:
3, 2, 2, 5, 1

Pretty bad when you crit fail something only to Hero Point it and still Crit Fail. :(

“A united group is much stronger. As Pathfinder agents we are taught the power of cooperation.”

Brekovi's Society (T): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15 Hero point

Brekovi's Nature (T) to identify creatures: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Brekovi's Society (T), vestments: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 1 = 15 Stll a crit fail

Brekovi says “I believe peace to always be better than war. It allows for trade and exchange of ideas.”

Tess and Brekovi both have Pearly White Spindle Aeon Stones, allowing us to heal 1HP per minute.
That means Tess only needs one use of Hymn or similar in order to be back to full within 30 minutes.

Brekovi patrols as the group heals.

As it turns out, the GM did tell us about the aura including the size of it. His description says when entering the aura. I would have to dig through the rules on auras, but I don’t think they affect you once you leave. Exact details is what I would need to research.

As for the buckler, my understanding is you basically need a mostly free hand in order to use a buckler. You couldn’t grip your bastard sword in two hands and raise a buckler, but you could if you were using it as a 1H weapon.

Sorry, really hadn’t looked at your character sheet in any detail. I am surprised to see you have Reactive Shield, but I didn’t bother trying to reconstruct the character to figure out why.

Might think about getting a buckler someday so you have a choice between 1H and 2H operation with your sword.

In any case, you know your character better than I. Think if there is something you can do that would be more useful than swinging the sword.

You could try what I did at first, get outside the aura to figure out if that changes your luck. I have not attempted a RK check to try and find out, but the power does seem to be an aura. Might be something where any time you start a turn inside their area.

Also keep in mind when it has used the reaction to steal luck, since it means you can freely attack with your reaction without fear of feeding it good rolls.

Since you are unlucky, raising a shield (which does not require a d20 roll) might be a better use of your actions than strikes at increasing MAP that increase the chance of them swallowing a good roll by you.

I have been using spells that don’t require me to roll d20.

Luna: You can’t conjure another shield. “After you use Shield Block, the spell ends and you can't cast it again for 10 minutes.”

Brekovi says “Tess, go for the spirit and let us handle the skull.”

He then waits for Tess to move before repositioning his Floating Flame under the skull.
Floating Flame, Fire damage, basic Reflex DC 25: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4) = 15
If Tess doesn’t move, Brekovi will move it under the Green Spirit instead.

He then gets out one of the Moderate Healing potions he got as provisions and feeds it to Luna.
Moderate Healing for Luna: 3d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 6, 4) + 10 = 21

“Luna, get out of there now!” Brekovi shouts at the witch.

Will wait to take my turn until I see if Luna continues laying on the ground or actually does something that might prevent a full attack on her.

2x moderate healing potion It is then.

Did we ever get our Pathfinder Provisions? If we did, I fear that I failed to note mine.

If Red Spirit is already dead or dies after my first action, I would like a chance to change my remaining actions.

Brekovi concentrates to move the flame into the same space as the red spirit.
Floating Flame, Fire damage vs DC 25 basic Reflex: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1) = 5 That isn’t going to do anything unless they crit fail. :(

He then uses Force Barrage to hopefully finish the spirit off.
1st Rank Force Barrage vs Red Spirit, 2 actions: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7

Can you add the Release Spirit or at least a link back to the description in your combat summary so it isn’t forgotten?

Thanks!

Brekovi concentrates to move the fire into the space where blue is.

Floating Flame fire damage, DC 25 basic Reflex: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 2) = 9

He then brings up a magical shield and concentrates on the incorporeal spirits, trying to figure out what other surprises they might have.

Lore Undead +17 M if it applies, otherwise check his skills to see if any do apply. If none do, will take failure rather than risk CF with an untrained skill.

Brekovi's Will Save (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
Brekovi's Will Save (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Brekovi is able to avoid the unlucky aura for the moment.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

Brekovi's Will Save (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Brekovi's Will Save (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Brekovi feels himself come under the effect of the unluck aura. He decides to test if it is only effective when he is close to the creature.
◆ Stride

He then uses his magic to light a fire under orange.

◆◆ Cast Floating Flame
Fire damage, DC 25 Reflex: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2) = 14

I think the problem is the way Kiddron is rolling twice. Their sword attack would be a total of 23 (10+13) but that isn’t clear. Everyone reading would need to do the math.
I think it would be clearer if they just did the rolls twice with all modifiers and use strikeout for the higher roll.

Thanks for letting us know and I also hope you feel better soon!

So Red and Green are incorporeal?

Upon seeing that red is not fully physical, Brekovi says “Well, that makes things more challenging. Fortunately I carry a scroll that should help if someone wants to present their weapon to me.”

It would take a full round for me to get out the scroll and cast from it, but I do have one scroll of Ghostly Weapon.

Muttering to himself, Brekovi sprints to the other side of the area lit by firelight and then provides some fire light of his own to the attacking creatures. As he is moving, he mutters to himself “I hope these aren’t resistant to fire.”

◆ Stride
◆◆ Cast Fireball centered 5’ up and at indicated vertex next to blue.
Fireball DC 25 basic Reflex: 6d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 6, 6, 1) = 20
Might not get orange because of height, should get all the other enemies.

Brekovi shrugs and says “Up to you, Luna.”

Added BakBak and Luna to spreadsheet but did not reverse engineer proficiency bonus nor check any values.

I will let them make any corrections.

Brekovi checks that he doesn’t detect any others coming in from the side, then moves to where he can better see what is happening.

“Luna, shouldn’t you stay within the firelight?”

Found the problem. They changed the interface without warning. :(

Now you have to tap on a slide and then go to edit in order to edit a slide. It always defaults to presentation mode.

On Apple there is no “Open in Editor” option that I can find. I will be playing with the URL, see if I can’t find a way to modify it so it comes up in editor mode.

I am using the Google slides app on my iPad, it is only allowing me to view it as a presentation not something I can edit.

I still can not edit anything on the map.

Brekovi frowns at Luna’s question but does not interfere at this time. Is this some sort of trick she is trying to pull on the spirit?

I can not seem to edit the map. It seems to be stuck in presentation mode.

Brekovi thinks a few minutes and decides it is unlikely that his Gentle Landing spell will do much good. He concentrates for a few minutes and swaps it for spell to provide a warning if enemies approach. He also pulls out a wand of 2nd rank Tailwind and uses it.

Spell Substitution: Gentle Landing swapped out for Alarm.

He checks with the others and suggests Scrollspire as a password before erecting his ward.

Give us a map and I will mark where the Alarm is set.

Then he finds a good place to sit and watch. As part of his watch, he keeps checking for any new signs of magic nearby.
