Coracle Jibbs's page

Coracle has already grabbed a tankard of grog from the stores being opened to celebrate the expedition's victory. "It was a small army of Pathfinders going willingly into the Eye of Abendego. It was bound to get weird," the catfolk says with exaggerated gravity, before taking a long pull from his drink, then laughing heartily. "The gods of luck have smiled on us today, mateys, so let's thank them by being merry!" He starts dancing to the sailors' song, with a grace born more of natural athleticism than any real skill at dancing.

However, the game looks like it is not reported... yet.

It was reported for me just fine. Have you tried buying the Chronicle boon?

The event date is given as Sept. 7 (which I think is when the game started?) so you may need to scroll a ways down your Sessions page to see it, but when I looked at just this character's sessions, it was right at the top.

***

And speaking of that boon, I may have my first gun-toting PC as soon as Coracle can afford it (after striking on his handwraps, next level). I don't have to choose him for access, but it seemed suitably pirate-y and imtimidating, and definitely unexpected for a monk!

Thanks again to HMM for taking the helm so we weren't cast adrift at sea! I love the sense of humor you bring to everything you do here.

And a fond farewell to everyone else here. I think we all did the Society proud. Hope to see you again in other games!

Coracle lets their more intellectual teammates take the lead, lending some well-placed brute force when prompted.

Athletics (E) to aid): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Coracle encourages others to tackle the problem in their own way, then holds his butterfly token reverently as he starts to pray to the Song of the Spheres.

Religion (T): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Using Storied Talent to attempt a task of my level (3):
Catfolk Lore (Expert): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Thanks again for taking over as GM, HMM!

Coracle growls and hisses as he slashes at the Pink demon with his claws, over and over again.

◆ Flurry of Blows (if both hit, apply resistances/weaknesses only once):

Will, CA, frightened 1: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 - 1 = 18

Now that he is covered in fish guts, Coracle is no longer afraid of the vile demons!

I think I forgot to add the frightened 1 OR Courageous Anthem to my Will save, but they cancel out, so it's all good.

I just realized that I could have used Cat's Luck on that Reflex save instead of the Hero Point to escape. But it would be far too complicated to fix that now (for starters, it would throw off ALL the die rolls for the rest of my turn), so I'll save it for something that might hurt more later.

Ref: 1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 11 - 1 = 11

Coracle dodges the tail slap, but walks right into the dorsal lash! (-6 hp, restrained) Yowling in both terror and rage, he tries to claw himself free of the demon.

◆ Escape (+1 tiger claw, frightened 1): 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 1 = 15
Hero Point to reroll that. (BTW, should we have received more Hero Points by now? I don't think we've been given any since the game started.)
Escape (+1 tiger claw, frightened 1): 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 1 = 23 Free!

He steps sideways so that he can reach two wounded demons, and tries his best to take one or both of them out.

At end of turn, vs. aura of doom: Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 (fail, remains frightened 1)

We had a condition giving a successful Treat Wounds between missions, so presumably we got that before the start of this Part?
Treat Wounds: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8 That brings Coracle to full (was only down 5.)

"So many fishies, but all of them smell rotten," Coracle growls as the demons approach. He takes up his usual fighting posture, and starts slicing at the nearest demon.

◆ Tiger Stance
◆ Flurry of Blows vs. Green (if both hit, apply resistances/weaknesses only once):

◆ Strike vs. Green: +1 tiger claw, MAP: 1d20 + 10 - 8 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 8 = 15, Damage (S): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

End of turn, vs. aura: Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Coracle is frightened 1.

The catfolk pirate is definitely more tiger than housecat, a strong swimmer who doesn't seem to mind the water. As the Pathfinders swim through the tunnels, Coracle helps to speed along the less experienced swimmers, and gives them a satisfied grin when they emerge into air again.

"Sharp work there, Chirret. That could've gotten nasty real quick," he says quietly as he looks around.

Coracle is expert in Athletics, if Follow thee Expert would be helpful getting inside.

Coracle nods when Chirret's done sketching. "That all looks right to me."

Religion: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23

Coracle concurs with Keriassa about omox demons, and suspects that Chirrit is right to associate the slime with pollution and acid.

Religion: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13
No help there.

Edit: Posted just as Hmm was. But seems like Keri knows plenty to work out the settings.

I forgot the +1 we get for this encounter. I'm guessing it wasn't that close, but i can hope...

Coracle moves up cautiously, and pulls some tools from a pouch on his belt to start fiddling with the facet that seems to focus the beam.

Thievery: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18 (includes +1 for infiltrator thieves' toolkit)

Coracle hisses when bitten, but then growls, "I'm going to send you back home in pieces, you lump of filth," before tearing into the demon again.

◆ Demoralize: Intimidation: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

◆ Flurry of Blows (if both hit, apply resistances/weaknesses only once):
+1 tiger claw, CA: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 1 = 28, Damage (S): 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9
+1 tiger claw, CA, MAP: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 - 4 = 20, Damage (S): 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Seeing his allies neatly corralling the red pusk, Coracle moves his attention to the two demons further from shore. He bounds out of the rowboat and hurries across the marshy sand as quickly as he can, building up momentum for a brutal attack on the green pusk.

◆◆ Boarding Assault: Stride twice, then Strike. Boarding or disembarking a boat or similar vehicle during this movement adds an extra damage die to the Strike.
+1 tiger claw, CA: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 1 = 29, Damage (S): 2d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 + 1 = 11 vs. Green

[Edited my last action because I realized I couldn't do flurry of blows after boarding assault, since both are flourishes.]

So clobbering the dolphin was the right move, sweet. And nice shootin', Gnimish!

Coracle crouches cat-like in the rowboat, then steps into the space Chirrit just vacated. He growls as he slashes at the dolphin.

+1 tiger claw, MAP: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 4 = 21, Damage (S): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Coracle already has a dragon turtle scale, so is at his limit of one talisman affixed to armor (explorer's clothes, in his case).

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Coracle ia visibly nervous as he attempts to follow the demons. Eventually he settles down and remembers that he is a sneaky catfolk pirate, and is able to start acting more like one.

Coracle attempts to follow the demons without being spotted.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Coracle uses their survival skills to find clean water--a useful talent for any sailor!

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Coracle attempts to move supplies through the rough terrain without drawing too much attention to his crew.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Coracle gladly mans another set of oars to speed the rowboat along.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Done!

Coracle dreams about one of his first few Pathfinder missions, in the accursed land of Nidal. He had not given the gods much thought before then, but was deeply offended by everything he learned about the oppressive Kuthite regime, and very impressed by a Desnan priest who worked in secret to resist it. This inspired him to learn more about the Song of Spheres, and the catfolk sailor found the goddess of luck and travelers very much to his liking. She is also the goddess of dreams, so upon awaking, Coracle found himself oddly comforted by the reminder of surviving that earlier harrowing mission.

Coracle is only down 4 HP, so will save his potion. If we have any trained healers other than Gnimish (who is spending the 10 minutes we have tending his own wounds), there are other PCs (Keriassa?) who need their attention more.

Coracle takes one of the potions, murmurs a brief prayer for lost travelers while touching his Desnan token, then drinks it.

Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

(Jibbs has 2 B's, BTW.)

Coracle steps closer to the scamp that attacked him, and lashes out at it.

◆ Step (up to 10 ft. in Tiger Stance)
◆ Flurry of Blows vs. Blue:
+1 tiger claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23, Damage (S): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
+1 tiger claw, MAP: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 4 = 11, Damage (S): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"Hey, I was talkin' t' you, y' oversized minnow!" Coracle yells at the dragon. He then pulls a dart from his bandolier and hurls it to punctuate his insult.

◆ Demoralize: Intimidation: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 vs. dragon
◆ Interact to draw dart
◆ Strike: dart: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25, Damage (P): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 vs. dragon

Thanks for taking over, Hmm!

◆◆◆ Horizon Thunder Sphere

Ooh, neat spell! I'll have to keep that one in mind for my own arcane/primal casters...

Ref: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Coracle shifts into a fighting stance, and slashes at the scamp who attached Keriassa.

◆ Tiger Stance
◆ Flurry of Blows vs. Yellow:
+1 tiger claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25, Damage (S): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
+1 tiger claw: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 4 = 7, Damage (S): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

He then slides down the rigging to join Chirret on the platform below. "Bah, I've been hurt worse by sick kittens," he taunts, hoping to keep the dragon's attention off of his crewmates above.

◆ Climb, Athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
◇ Drop rest of way to platform, ↺ Catch an Edge, Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 to arrest a fall

As a catfolk, Coracle has Land on Your Feet, which halves damage from a fall, and he doesn't land prone. Basically, I'd like him to use the rigging to fall in a controlled way onto the platform, trusting to his catlike reflexes to get him where he wants to go with minimal risk to himself.

Just checking to make sure I understand: does that mean we get 6 checks per PC, one for each 10 minutes?

And would Sailing Lore be an appropriate substitute skill? Coracle's no builder, but he has worked on ships his whole life (sailor background), which is a lot of hard labor.

Survival: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 = 25

Coracle tethers himself to the foc's'le, where he can see the seas ahead. He calls out directions and warnings to the crew to help the ship find the safest route through the storm.

Yarrr!

Coracle grabs a line, and lowers himself over the side of the ship to check for damage.

Athletics (E): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Ref: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Avast! Reroll that using Cat's Luck (1/day).
Ref: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Yarrr, crit success!

Coracle dives for cover as the Squall breaches. After the shrapnel from the broken mast sprays across the deck, he pops back up, miraculously unharmed. His tricorn was not so lucky, however, and has been impaled by a wicked, two-foot shard of wood that missed creasing his skull by less than a finger's breath. His movements become even more catlike as he assumes a martial arts stance. He fully expects to have to fight for his life even more literally in the very near future.

The catfolk monk renews his efforts to raise some sail on the surviving mast.

◆ Tiger Stance
◆◆ Fortify Ship: Athletics (E): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Coracle rushes to the rigging, and starts hauling on ropes to raise the sails.

◆ Stride
@GM: Please move me to an appropriate location within 1 Stride (35 ft.). I can't move stuff on the Slides from my phone, and am overdue for bed...

◆◆ Fortify Ship: Athletics (E): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

As a catfolk pirate from a long line of catfolk pirates, Coracle sleeps with enviable ease despite the rolling of the ship through the night. When Calisro's pre-dawn bellow awakens the Pathfinders, he's one of the first on deck, not needing to waste any time donning armor or strapping on weapons apart from his bandolier of darts.

When he sees the absolutely immense orca, his ears lie back and he hisses through bared teeth. He murmurs a fervent prayer to Desna for luck as he checks that the wooden butterfly on his sash, and the dragon turtle scale on his jacket, are both fastened securely, then scrambles to his post.

In the interest of speed, I see that Gnimish has Assurance (Medicine) for a 16, so I'll go ahead and roll that 2d8 ⇒ (4, 7) = 11
Close enough to full for me!

Coracle finishes climbing up to the crow's nest once Singe stops firing. "Aye, learning as much as we can of the Whipporwwill's story is why we're here," the catfolk assures the forlorn ghost.

If Singe will permit it, Coracle will carefully collect the tattered Pathfinder flag to take back to Calisro. That seems like one relic that should definitely be returned to the Grand Lodge!

Coracle would also appreciate some medical attention before the next mission. He was healed after the previous fight, so I don't know if the hour cool-down for Treat Wounds will be over before Act 3 begins? He still has his Pathfinder provisions potion, but will save that for later unless he's unable to get any other healing now.

Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Coracle hisses as the ghostly bullet draws blood. He waves his wayfinder about. "Cease fire, y' scurvy gob! We be Pathfinders, same as you! So stop explorin' with that blasted gun, and start reportin' 'n' cooperatin'!"

The catfolk starts climbing the mast, hoping to interfere with future shots if the goblin doesn't see sense soon.

◆◆ Pathfinder Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 to disable
◆ Athletics (E): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 to Climb

Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Coracle disembarks from the jolly boat, and the appearance of the goblin in the crow's nest simply redoubles his desire to reach and search that part of the ship. He heads to the base of the mast, concerned far more about the threat from the ghost pirate than any whale.

Is there a roll to learn more about the haunt and how to fight/disable it? Coracle has Religion and Sailing Lore, both at +5, if either apply. He should have at least one action left after moving for Recall Knowledge.

We should probably compare some skills to see who's best suited for what tasks.

As I mentioned above, Coracle has Athletics +9 +(11 to Swim while the pearl is active), has the Underwater Marauder feat, and a dragon turtle scale in case he needs a swim speed.

His Perception is +5, and his Acrobatics is +9.

If nobody has any better ideas, Coracle would suggest coming as close to the west side of the surviving stern as the surf will allow (less debris/rocks there), climb aboard, and search that part first. (He sees the crow's nest and flag as the most obvious objective, until they discover more.) Then the more athletic members of the party can climb/jump/swim/etc. southward to the other pieces of the ship, while others continue searching the stern or move the jolly boat around to the bow.

Coracle gives a low whistle when he sees wreck. "It be a miracle that any of her is still above water at all after so many years in the Eye." He pulls out the spyglass that his crew took from the looters, and surveys the site. The tattered green flag seems to capture his interest most. "We be needin' to reclaim what's left of them colors, even if we find naught else," he says with some determination and reverence in his voice. "The nest be a good place t' keep watch, too."

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 (if it matters)

(I'll take part of the discussion to Discussion.)

Coracle informs the Venture-Captain of the current year, which is centuries after the Society last heard from her ship. The Society has grown dramatically since then, with several hundred Pathfinders on this expedition alone.

Years are numbered in Absalom Reckoning, so... Absalom Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
