In a raspy voice, Nicky croaks out
But his mind, trained in the art of seeing and noticing all- Especially the stuff out of place - Sees the death rattle come for Alvarius. He leaps to his feet, the brain doing a good job of blocking all pain receptors by flooding the synapses with endorphins and modulating the central nervous system.
Nicky slides next to Alvarius.
Looking for the others, Nicky says - More. We need more!
Male Tiefling Investigator - HP 68 AC 23/ 24 with Buckler
I think you are bright and brilliant Onye. You have good ideas. We can move to another area. With that said, weren't we supposed to discover codes or combinations to unlock an important door? It might make the most sense to at least check this spot out longer, just so we don't have to back track. Otherwise, you are right, let us hunt the other way. Nicky turns to Alvarius,
Nicky looks to what Daehalya to see what she is doing, and then makes a mental note to ask if "undeadist" is even a word or state of discrimination. "D" is smart and tells him straight when he's being an ass.

As the barbed tongues slither out and connect to his face ---Nicky screams for just a second. will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 DC 28 Images of Cheliax flip through his brain. Prison and dungeon scenes flash before his eyes, but then an image of the gate appears and lingers. The held image shows Nicky is in leg chains working with an axe on some back breaking chore. Just then, the nearby stone arch glows.
Nicky shakes his head as his mind turned images of the worst days into a memory of the best day. It survives the mental onslaught of this daemon.

Please know that you all rock! Brother Butterfly is going to now take a nap, because doing anything physically exerting makes his brain hurt. Naps and eating peeled grapes. That makes his brain happy.

Oh Yeah - Was she a half elf? For we encountered a wounded horse carrying a dead rider outside this area.
Speaking of saving lives, we'd better help your leader- Zeah - not get dead. Nicky, not assuming everyone is honest and on the up and up - because he isn't exactly the honest type and he's an investigator - studies the captives with a squinted eye. SO, if we let you out of the cages- are you going to backstab us or trick us in any way? I want answers from all ya all.

Slight roll back to Alvarius and his creepy femur carving
***************
Nicky calls instructions to also help with the de-icing of important equipment.
All the while, Nicky's teeth are chattering. He's not at all immune to the cold and doesn't have the equipment/clothing.
Male Tiefling Investigator - HP 68 AC 23/ 24 with Buckler
So, we agree that we need to enter the secret tunnel and penetrate her secret lair. Nicky starts prepping his gear to go into the cold. He also smiles a devilish grin.
He especially looks at Onye as he revels in the facial expressions and body language of the Amurrun when he says or does inappropriate stuff.
Male Tiefling Investigator - HP 68 AC 23/ 24 with Buckler
Nicky looks down at the Teak tiller and rudder. Sliding his hand along the smooth and lacquered lever. The lacquer is a requirement to keep the wood from warping due to prolonged exposure in water. Teak being a great wood used by the best craftsmen on ships of the line. It's a hard wood with tight grain and high tensile strength. Exactly what was needed for the most crucial part of their raft- the steering mechanism! The Wolves at least gave them really good equipment to take a dangerous journey.
A good memory popped in his brain.
Oh blow the man down, pirates, blow the man down.
Where boys become green horns,
Oh blow the man down, pirates, blow the man down.
We tinkers and tailors and sailors and all,
Male Tiefling Investigator - HP 68 AC 23/ 24 with Buckler
Nicky looks at all this and an unsettling thought crosses his mind. So, he reaches out telepathically to the cloak dangling around his neck. Hey vegi-cloak! Um, is this the kind of thing you are going to morph into after the passage of time, and are you designed to be around my neck, so you can collect my head easier? Because if that's the case, I'm not keeping you and I might want to give you to Ezgara! to which the cloak replies.
Having been shut down, insulted, and not given more information- Nicky mutters to himself.
Looking up and at the decapitated head of Raven Haired Elf.
Male Tiefling Investigator - HP 68 AC 23/ 24 with Buckler
This sounds like a quid-pro-quo.
Nicky looks to make sure the wheeling and dealing is fair, but also maybe trying to get a bit more like a couple memories from The Grove. diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17 +1 due to pursue a lead. Nicky also searches his mind, thinking of a memory that he likes, but will just have to miss. That's if they don't take Onye's memory.
memory to possibly barter: The first meeting of Fia and the 7 arches location back on Golarian.
Male Tiefling Investigator - HP 68 AC 23/ 24 with Buckler
Happy 4th of July to all! A special message of thanks to all those that are in the armed forces or have family in the armed forces. It is always with awe and respect that I hold military people. A ton of sweat, tears and blood go into keeping people safe.
Zane enjoys the presence of his friends
Did someone mention my name? I just got done with scoring three goals in Droid-death ball and someone said they tagged me in a the vid-net. Well, if you are seeking an autograph, no problem! Just tell me where to send it. If you want an autographed Doshko, you got to supply the Doshko.... but I'll sign it! I'll even get my good friend and Vid-sensation Draka to sign it also. That was her weapon of choice anyway.

Nicholo jumps into the gondola. Excited to be experiencing something so new and fantastic.
Nicky looks to eyebeam blast whatever one that Odioki looks to shoot.
Deciding that Daehalya will make wiser choices on targets, Nicky changes his tactics.
I have a feeling I'm late to the party, but just in case there is a need for a two weapon fighter.

You called us here because you are infatuated with how The Gate spoiled your petty revenge against the elves. You are intrigued by the fact that we survived The Gates, and what that means. We are questions that you can't answer.I don't think you intend to steal our shadows, but oh....oh how you love to take people's shadows. Lastly, you like to see how thinks "tick". You are essentially a boogeyman horologist. Regrettably, you don't make good clocks and you get frustrated to find out why they don't work well, and smolder at why you can't improve upon your creations. he pauses,
That is Nicky. He loves to analyze and inspect - but he can't help but throw some snarky comments in.

Damn E-Z! Those horns look good on you! You have a new set of problems awaiting you -- the problem of keeping all those noble lasses off of you! Nicky gives a hearty laugh. Not a making fun of someone laugh, but a laugh of fellow-ship. Yet another time and example of where he feels camaraderie amongst this motley crew.
Male Tiefling Investigator - HP 68 AC 23/ 24 with Buckler
Where Odioki was annoyed, Nicky has been inspired. He didn't really understand any of the meaning that Ezgara was saying. It was highly philosophical and Nicky would have to digest it later (as he doesn't like things he doesn't understand or at least attempt to decrypt).
He moves to the pods and puts himself in as a willing victim. He crossed his fingers. Whispers a message of forever love to his beloved Fiametta and waits for another body or a signal from the others that they are not up for this.
Male Tiefling Investigator - HP 68 AC 23/ 24 with Buckler
Nicky rolls over trying to get to his hands and knees. Mostly looking to get his body out of the pool of blood that has collected below him. His clothes are sticky with his own blood, and the coppery smell fills his nose because he's so close to the source.
Golden eyes. Golden eyes. Those are the only things he says as he starts standing up.

Nicky enters the Stacks, and he finds this place to be right up his alley. He just needs to convince others to get the information for him to glean the true knowledge from. He approaches the caretakers to see if they will commune with the library tree.
Occultism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 DC 18 His conversation doesn't really go anywhere. The only help he gets are books handed to him - such as The Tiefling in the Hat, and Green Eggs and Horns. All kiddie books and nothing of substance.

Shield of Faith, Magic Circle against evil. Find the Path. Protection from Fire As the old woman exclaims that she's a "Yithian", BB searches his mind for references. Unable to recall anything at all (I don't have knowledge dungeoneering), he is a bit mad at himself until the startling revelation -- Awaken! Awaken!!.
I have to unpack all of this. I'm even going to ignore and drive out the fact that someone who indicates they are 10,000 years old has to resort to fart humor. I'm ignoring it, but seriously - you'd think existing for 10K years would give you deeper insight on comedic timing and material. All my other characters, would have loved Yithian's fart humor. In jumping into BB's mind, I thought along the lines of "everyone's a critic" for his reply/mindset. I love how roleplaying makes you think differently depending on the part you play!

Got it! Not really, I don't *yet* get it. I understand and will start posting with the action icons -- just as soon as I read more of the players guide! Work was supposed to calm at the start of Jan, but it went crazy all through January. I was able to put in some good research time this weekend, but I obviously need more. Alas, I also have to prep PF1 games for the upcoming convention. I'm running The Traitor's Lodge, Wisp, and Tome of Righteous Repose. So my brain will still be in PS1 mode for at least two more weeks. Bear with me my brothers in PBP!

He wasn't some werewolf, he was just a big dude named Orik. A bit of spirit gum and fake hair - total disguise. We can put the two elves in a persona they want and go through town announcing "The Circus is coming!". Do a couple teaser tricks and move on through town.What do the rest of you think about Ezgara's incredible idea? As he waits for answers, he comments aloud. I wonder what happened to Orik, he left Waywards and I heard he became a mercenary.

It's as if the Universe is shaking him and saying, 'wake up, you stupid Tiefling, play time is over'. This is where everything gets serious. But Nicky, in his outward personality at least, just can't get serious. Inwardly, he's taking note that the Universe wants him paying close attention and giving this mission his all.

My leaving the circus was a year before The Gate. And not voluntary. See, I was arrested in Cheliax. By the Durotas.Nicky takes a moment to spit on the ground again. But, The circus probably doesn't exist anymore - the Ringmaster was terrible at business. The thing was going under. Poor management, but a great place to work and live. ************
