Chén fú's page

stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Chen offers to look for hiding survivors, and creeps about to avoid scaring them into scurrying into holes. He also shows a fairly graceful talent for hopping about on rubble.

No skills here for working with folks, so Chén will stand guard.

Probably a better chance to crit fail with a +0 mod.

With a bit of resolve, Chén shows that he has some skill in medicine.

DC 15 medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Though helpful, not effective enough to make much of a difference. It's a frustrating experience for him. He feels like if he just had the right herbs, he might have done so much better.

So he tries to find something to help.
DC 15 nature to find herbs: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
But fails at that too :(

On the bright side there were no crit fails.

Chén fú seems disinterested in the decision. "As good a place as any to start with."

He has no weapons and seems disinterested in the comment on cold iron as well.

Chén fú IS green and accepts the criticism stoically. In spite of that he responds confidently.

"Consider it done."

2-3-4 is fine with me.

He does his own stunts usually. Back then of course, there were no green screens... Chen Fu is from Snake in Eagle's Shadow, IIRC.

No, I didn't pick the name based off of that. I just looked on line for likely names and picked one. Chén fú was pretty much a random pick and I am struggling with coming up with a good personality. Unlike some folks who seem to have a talent for creating a character with a rich personality from the start, I sort of discover who they are as I play them. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if my imagination is steered toward stereotypes established by icons like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.

Now THAT would make for a good discussion. How do you come up with personalities and avoid falling into pure stereotypes?

With a respectful bow, the barefoot Chén announces himself simply.

"Chén fú, at your service."

Chén fú is a rather nondescript halfling, who tends to fade into the background in most social situations, finding them awkward at best. He is rather thin for a halfling and a bit taller than the norm, even though he eats a lot. But being a vegetarian might account for that. His equipment gives no clue as to what abilities he might bring to the table. In fact one might mistake him for a servant instead of an adventurer.

No glyphs here.

Gpt the chronicle, but the check box whether we slew the dragon or convinced it to leave was not checked. Not sure if it matters though unless there is a boon for this adventure.

Chén fú joins in on the Wyrm bashing after stepping into a flank.

*step
*flurry
*attack

to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25, -2 AC flank
slashing damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9; 1d4 ⇒ 3 bleed on crit[tiger stance]

to hit, flurry, MAPx1: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 4 = 22, -2 AC flank
slashing damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7; 1d4 ⇒ 2 bleed on crit[tiger stance]

to hit, MAPx2: 1d20 + 6 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 4 - 4 = 14, -2 AC flank
slashing damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9; 1d4 ⇒ 1 bleed on crit[tiger stance]

This time his mojo is working and the wyrm starts bleeding badly.

Chen Rushes (or at least attempts to) past the dragon, maneuvering to get into a flank, and unleashes monk fury ineptitude on it. Apparently he needs more training.

*move
*flurry of Blows
*attack

to hit, flank: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14; flanking (-2 AC/off guard)
slashing damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7; 1d4 ⇒ 2 bleed on crit

to hit, flurry, MAPx1: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 4 = 9; flanking (-2 AC/off guard)
slashing damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7; 1d4 ⇒ 2 bleed on crit

to hit, MAPx2: 1d20 + 6 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 4 - 4 = 11; flanking (-2 AC/off guard)
slashing damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4; 1d4 ⇒ 2 bleed on crit

"No idea. But it does seem to want to talk."

Chén fú is surprised that the wyrm is willing to talk. From the way things sounded, he expected a ravenous beast.

Chén fú sticks with the group, trying to stay more or less in the front.

"I can try to slip forward, but it is hard to sneak around in a house of ice. I think it best we just advance together."

"I will trust your judgment. I have no ability to tell the difference."

Chén fú grimaces, not liking the idea, but not wanting to be rude, so he remains silent.

I'll assume he already bought them

Anyone travelling to a cold weather location would probably have winter clothing. We could just assume we already purchased them or go on a shopping trip. In either case, I'll need to update Chén fú's inventory if that is OK.

"But I don't trust dogs. Likely to panic at the first sign of trouble and toss us off a cliff. Still prefer to go by foot."

Everything he would have asked has already been asked, so he is ready to hoof it on over. Taking a sled at 5 silver seems a bit much to him.

Chén fú has no questions, but might depending on the answers to the questions already asked.

"Deal. You never know when a piece of chalk will come in handy!"

Chén fú blinks a couple of times and repeats "Chalk? Well... maybe. How much?"

Not able to read Ulfen or Erutaki, Chén fú approaches and reads the one in common.

"Looks pretty straight-forward."

Looking around he spots a number of others reading the bulletin with interest too. "There seem to be enough pathfinders here to launch an investigation as a team. What do the rest of yo say?"

Chén does not look particularly impressive, though he is a well muscled halfling. And if he is a pathfinder, chances are he is competent enough.

No glyphs. Slides filled out.

Mine looks good.

Earned income roll

lore roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Nice!

I reported the session. Navo and Chen, do you want your Earned Income on your chronicles?

Yes, I would.

Yes, we survived and thrived!

Yea, Chen too. 2 HP left.

As soon as it drops, Chén fú mutters a muffled "OW!".

I'll take that treat wounds!

DC 16 reflex to avoid getting splashed: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
DC 15 fort to avoid getting sick: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

"Try attacking with the flat of your blade or something."

Chen decides that he is going to risk it all. If Herk can do it so can he! Taking advantage of the flank he moves up an attacks.

move, flurry, strike

to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23; -2 AC from flank
bashing damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

to hit, flurry, MAPx1: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 4 = 4; -2 AC from flank
bashing damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9;

to hit, MAPx2: 1d20 + 6 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 4 - 4 = 12; -2 AC from flank
bashing damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Note: He is deliberately not entering tiger stance so that he can do bashing damage instead of slashing damage.

Chén fú moves cautiously forward, staying behind the safety of the corner, and cucks a couple of darts at it.

to hit, dart: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
piercing damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

to hit, dart, MAP: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 4 = 14
piercing damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Wish I had something blunt to throw.

fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Chen is nearly flattened by the blow and beats a fast retreat and downs a minor healing potion.

healing: 1d8 ⇒ 1; He feels a teensie bit better.

"Might as well try another door."

Chen moves through the room to the door on the far end and opens it.

Chén (chuga chuga) opens that door.

Chen gives a disinterested look.

"Not useful to me. We can sell them though, right?"

Correct. Use up all the loot you want. Unless it is poison or something. Now THAT would be a reason not to drink it.

Is that space on the northeast side of the map accessible? Hate to leave an unexplored area behind us.

There is a door, but it is blocked by rubble as signified by the X. I'm thinking the railroad leads us to it by travelling in a counter-clockwise direction.

Chén fú moves on from room to room, checking as he goes. If all are empty he opens the door to the south (assuming the others follow).

Chén fú looks to Viv for enlightenment, because he sure as heck does not know anything about this Jistka thing.

"Are we thinking this place is a Jiska location then, what with heavy armor and alchemy?"

Chén takes a tentative step into the room and takes a look into the first room.
