Chusynd Karkota's page

Thanks for running, GM! :-)

M'lady! Chusynd hurries after Olivina, a scrap of parchment and quill in hand. Lady Sharnau! Could I possibly trouble you to grace me with an autograph? I should very much like to show that I've met a talent such as yours. He gushes about her most recent performance at Cloisoi Theater, and eventually dropping the spirit Margaret's name, mentioning her recounting of Olivina's disappearance through the sewer grates.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 BIM BAM BOOM

Chusynd will nod as though he's listening to the captive man, even though it's abundantly clear he's not. He attends to Basia, pulling out a wand of cure moderate wounds and using a charge.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 8) + 3 = 16

Chusynd will come off of delay and use his 1/day SLA daylight.

That's what I get for not playing attention as well as I should. Sorry I missed the bless, Tak.

And yes, Greyveil, Point Blank Shot is a static addition to dice, so it doubles on a crit.

Chusynd will delay.

Thoriel heals 5 and Chusynd takes 5.

Chusynd releases a wand from his wrist sheath and activates it. Taitneamh a bhaint as bronntanas Aróden ar!

Since that works, and since Tak cast daylight, Chusynd will step back around the corner and cast blessing of fervor, targeting his allies.

Luas agus inniúlacht, ó lámh Aróden!

Yes, Chusynd will move in (can't edit map at the moment). If a rushed Diplo check isn't possible at this point, we'll just call it flavor. No additional action, as he's trying to not be hostile, for all the good it'll do, LOL.

Chusynd has darkvison. He can't make a single one of those DCs, though.

EDIT: oh, maybe Sense Motive. 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 Nope.

Beannachtaí! Glaoimid orainn dúnmharú? Bheatha? nach bhfuil toibreacha ann? Ní cheapaim! Cuir in iúl, de réir focal Aroden, cad iad na rúin a cheapann tú Ustalav a fháil amach faoi lorgaitheoirí Path?

unlikely, but rushed Diplomacy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Chusynd sees none of the things Greyveil sees unitl they are pointed out. I was not aware dark folk were such prolific authors! he says, appearing to completely miss the malevolent implications.

Chusynd nods and follows Thoriel, still thinking on the gothic sculpture. Who would want an image of a dog's face on a person?

While Greyveil takes a look at the note, Chusynd takes a look at the statue.
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Sahess and Greyveil have professed being done with the oily noble, does the party agree?

Agreed.

Chusynd gently puts a hand on Sahess' arm as he moves forward. And what have your own agents discovered? Perhaps by pooling our resources we can resolve this matter — and we can all the more quickly leave you to your other delights.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

Chusynd looks at Seldiliel in surprise. We are?
But then he catches on. We are! We have hors d'oeuvres and plenty of leather!
Auto-aid another on Bluff at +14.

Chusynd, see to your wounds and then I will see to the door.

An excellent idea! That's what I get for actually working the past couple of days, I suppose. LOL

Of course, of course! Chusynd says, drawing a wand and administering it. Aroden will provide, after all.

Chusynd will never find a trap on his own, but he can disarm one if it's found.

Right-o.
confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 34

A string of syllables pours out of Chusynd, which are even less intelligible than normal — they don't even contain the name of Aroden anywhere among them.

I am at a convention starting this afternoon through Sunday. I'll be spotty at best, so please feel free to bot.

Chusynd can disable magical traps (if someone else points them out, LOL) and is firmly of the belief that consumables are meant to be consumed (one of Aroden's guises is that of the Merchant, after all), so wands are always available as needed.

Tak recovers 5 hp from Chusynd's life link.
DC 20 Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 Nope
So no need to make a confusion roll, then?

No worries! It was all down in the one Post That Never Posted, LOL.

Greyveil has a point in that I never went back and made a post (well, one that actually posted, anyway, thanks to the Paizo postmonster) to establish my life links. That is completely on me.

It is something he always does at the briefing by handing out tokens with the Eye of Aroden on them. However, it's the GM's call as to whether that's permissible retroactively.

DC 20 Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

As the machines begin to move, Chusynd reacts quickly, moving toward the center of the room and drawing out a wand, even as a string of non-common words tumbles from him!
Taitneamh a bhaint as bronntanas Aróden ar!

Chusynd casts bless from the wand, +1 morale bonus to hit and to saves vs. fear.

Chusynd will go have a look at the manacles and stains at the center of the room.
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Chusynd takes 10, LOL

I don't need to consider a commitment for this PC elsewhere before mid-May.

No other prep from Chusynd. I vote yes on the tunnels.

Chusynd will cheerfully pay his portion and Greyveil's as well.

Chusynd shakes her head at the pair. Ah hate when she's angry — you wouldn't like her when she's angry — though Ah confess she does have a point about the city folks, he says. But Ah promise you, we will do everything in our power to prevent that from happening. We just need a little assistance in return.

[dice="good cop" Diplomacy]1d20+17[/dice]

Yeah, I've been MIA, sorry guys. Real Life [tm] intervened a bit.

Chusynd's smile is enough to auto-assist all by itself (Diplo +17). Indeed! In fact, a spirit directed us from the opera house to the swamp!

Moved everyone up by Tak and Thoriel.

Chusynd looks about with a forced grin on his face. Pleasant, er, swamp. he says icily. Maybe there's a hidden entrance somewhere?

Kn (religion): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Bokrug! Chusynd says, pointing to the long-tailed lizard with three-toed claws amid the wall carvings. One of the Great Old Ones! That's unpleasant. It is frequently associated with water, and with revenge. Aroden would not be pleased.

Chusynd is almost reluctant to leave the sewers, after demonstrating at various points the acoustics within the tunnels. But he diligently follows his companions as they ascend. Praise Aroden for our return to the light of day!

Chusynd complies with Sahess' request. May the light of Aroden guide your way! He then returns to his place as rear guard for the party.
I'd propose Sahess, Thoriel, Greyveil, Tak & Nail, Seldiliel, and Chusynd as the marching order.

He gives each of his companions a coin, on which one side is smooth and the other side bears the image of an eye with wings. This will help keep you safe as we travel.

Life link for everyone.

I should, shoudn't I?
1d100 ⇒ 73
If that means he act normally, Chusynd will drop his mace as a free action and be horrified by what he's done. He'll also willingly fail the save vs. calm emotions.

Will save vs. haunt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
+2 vs. death, energy drain, negative energy, or necromancy spells

Chusynd continues his assault on the evil, conniving wayang (who is actually neither evil nor conniving). The anger is real in his mind!

Rydych chi'n meddwl eich bod chi'n berson mor wych. Rwy'n gwybod yn well! Mae Aroden wedi gweld y tywyllwch yn eich enaid!

mwk silver light mace: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
+2 vs. death, energy drain, negative energy, or necromancy spells

1d2 ⇒ 1
Chusynd begins speaking in tongues, turning to Greyveil with anger in his amber eyes.
Bydd pŵer Aroden yn gwthio'ch diffygion!

Move action to draw, then standard to attack.
mwk silver light mace: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
B dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
+2 vs. death, energy drain, negative energy, or necromancy spells

Chusynd will keep the save.

Kn (religion): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

Greetings, Margaret! We are pleased to make your acquaintance! Let me introduce my companions and myself: This is Sahess, Seldiliel, Thoriel, Greyveil, Tak (and Nail, of course); and I am Chusynd Karkota, Cleric of ARODEN! We are here investigating the disappearance of a renowned actress and member of Taldan royalty — if our presence offends, you have our deepest apologies.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Perform (oratory): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 haha, of course. :-)

Chusynd observes the costume rack, but since his own particular performance skill set doesn't typically include costumery, he notices little out of place. Looking back out at the stage, he says aloud to no one in particular, The acoustics here are simply marvelous.

Is that any Perform check? Chusynd has Perform (oratory) trained.

Chusynd (darkvision) can't make the Perception check, but will follow after his companions.

My lady, Chusynd says with a sweeping bow. I am Chusynd Karkota, Cleric of ARODEN! — dwarven emissary liberator, Blakros confidant, purveyor of forgotten tomes, Sky Key scion, and most recently vanquisher of the linnorm vestige of Frostbreach. He waves to his companions. We hearty souls are here of our own volition and are at your service.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

I thought i had already posted this, but it's not here and so another meal for the Paizo postmonster, I suppose.

I'm at a convention Thursday - Sunday. I will try to post, but don't know how much I will be able to.

I think this was an anti-diplomacy roll. lol

It totally was...but a damned entertaining one. LOL

Do you have any questions?

Chusynd nods and grins as the Venture-Captain speaks, and it's not readily apparent whether he's actually heard a word she's said or not or he's wearing the vapid smile of a politician. What can you tell us of the Sharnau family, of whom this missing Olivina is an heiress? By Aroden's we-uhl, we shall find her!

Chusynd bows his head as the party passes the funeral parade. May Aroden guide this unfortunate soul on their way toward their final rest,[]b he says aloud, to no one in particular. [b]One of the Living God's guises is that of the Shepherd, after all.

Chusynd takes note of the Aria, and discusses the price of accommodations at length with the innkeeper, trying to explain the virtues of having representatives of such a renowned, well-heeled organization as the Pathfinder Society extolling the virtues of the Aria far and wide — might be good for future business.

Take 10 on Diplomacy for 27 to negotiate a better price than 32 gp a night per suite. Maybe a group rate? :-)

Day job:
Perform (oratory — proselytizing): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Bustling about the lodge since you all arrived is a tall, lanky Chelaxian man — Chelaxian, to be sure, but also something...more. Perhaps it's the turquoise eyes and the shiny, golden hair that make him seem somewhat off. Or maybe it's the bevy of pamphlets he's distributed over the course of the hour or so he's been here, accompanied by the omnipresent proclamation that he is Chusynd Karkota (CHOO-sind kar-KOE-tah), Cleric of ARODEN!

Upon seeing the missive on the board, Chusynd briefly bows his head in prayer, then brightly exclaims, Bah the grace of Aroden, ah have been sent here to lend a hand, and ah shall answer that call!

Need to update the profile, as Chusynd is level 8 now.

Oh, yeah, forgot: this is one of my only PCs with a Day Job!

Yeah, eff that; shirt reroll w/4 GM stars: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 4 = 14

O.o

...Taldans suck. LOL
