Cott's page

HP: 27 / 48

"Ahh!" yells Cott in pain and surprise as Tarragon rakes him with his claws. "Get your head on straight man!"

Not sure if I'm able to see her through the thinning mist with her flaming sword, so I'll post two actions, and you can decide which one plays GM.

If I can see her:
Cott raises a foot and brings it down on the floor with a mighty stomp, filling the small hallway with the sound of thunder and sending a rippling wave of energy at the succubus.

trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 88

If I can't see her:
Cott flicks his wrist, releasing his Wand of cute light wounds, and applies it to the gashes left by Tarragon's claws.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Meanwhile Jenny lashes out at the demon with tooth and claw.

talon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 43
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

talon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 82
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 1
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Cott lays his hand on Jenny and intones a brief incantation in druidic and Jenny's talons shine briefly in the dim light of the chamber.

Cast Magic Fang on Jenny. +1 To damage and attack rolls for her talon attacks.

He moves back into the thinning fog of the hallway, and barks an order to Jenny as soon as he sees the ominous red glow ahead. Jenny springs ahead, leaping at the demon with talons raised.

Talon: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Cott, alerted by his keen reptilian senses, pulls back into the altar room and drops his shapeshifted form.

"Form up pathfinders. I don't know where that treacherous bastard disappeared to, but there's... something in the corridor ahead of us. I say we group up here until that fog clears, then head out to the surface all together. We're too spread out. Makes us vulnerable."

Cott and Jenny stay put, not wanting to wander too far from the party on their own. They continue attempting to sniff out Lex.

Survival Cott: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Wisdom Jenny: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Cott is caught off guard by Lex's sudden betrayal, and is quite mystified by his sudden disappearance.

When a look around the room doesn't reveal the treacherous "merchant" Cott and Jenny head back out to the hallway and into the fog if it's still there sniffing all the while to try to pick up the man's scent.

Survival Cott: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Wisdom Jenny: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Does Lex provoke an AoO from Cott for either picking up his bow, or casting a spell in a threatened square?

Cott and Jenny follow behind Lex.

Cott makes an almost song like chirping noise, and Jenny comes to his side. They move behind Lex and prepare to follow him up and out of here.

Cott growls and bobs his reptilian head at Tarragon's suggestion.

Finding no reason to doubt the man's claims, the shapeshifted Cott waits for his more dexterous party members to open the cell, while remaining on his guard should the creature the man spoke of return.

Finding nothing of interest in his tour of the room, Cott comes to stand by the door of the man's cell and sizes him up with his cold reptilian eyes.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Cott dismisses the crocodile, and then casts stabalize on the cleric before she can bleed out, and leaves Ravenor to apply the manacles he produced from his pack.

While Tarragon begins to question the man in the cage, Cott and Jenny begin a slow circuit of the area, inspecting the room and the cages.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

If she passes out or surrenders, Cott would dismiss the spell. If she's still up and resisting come my turn, croc stays in play. Not sure whose turn it is atm.

Normally the croc's CMD is 18, which means she'd be able to break free with that roll. But with the augment summoning feat, all my summons get +4 str and con, which bumps its CMD up to 20, so she remains grappled and prone.

Cott Survival: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Jenny Wisdom: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Cott and Jenny stalk further into the mist, again following the scent trail of fear and fresh blood.

When they come upon the enemy cleric Cott rushes past her into the room beyond presumably drawing an AoO , while Jenny goes in for the kill.

Jenny Talon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Jenny Talon damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Cott meanwhile conjures another young crocodile behind the redheaded woman, and it immediately attacks.

Bite: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 20+grab
Bite damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Tail Slap: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Tail Slap damage: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

If bite hits:
Grab (grapple): 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 = 18

If grapple is successful:
Death Roll damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14+prone

Meanwhile, the first croc growls menacingly then fades back to wherever it came from.

Will Save Jenny: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Perception Jenny: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Will Save Cott: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Perception Cott: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Cott resists the full burst of unholy energy, but Jenny roars in pain, distracting the druid, and allowing the cleric to slip away from them both into the fog.

Will Save Croc: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The crocodile slithering in the druid's wake also bellows in distress at the wave of damaging energy from the cleric.

Cott and Jenny enter the fog, attempting to track down the evil cleric with their keen sense of smell.
Scent
DC 10 to follow a fresh trail

Survival (Cott): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Wisdom (Jenny): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

If that's sufficient to lead them to the cleric:
Both raptors attack, tearing at cloth and flesh.

Cott Talon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Cott Talon damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Jenny Talon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Jenny Talon damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

If they fail to local the cleric:
GM place Cott and Jenny's icons wherever you think they'd end up (60ft land speed, searching for her with scent, moving slowly.)

Meanwhile Cott races down the stairs with Jenny following, past his allies and takes up a position to the west of the wight, where he lashes out to try to bring it down.

ACTUALLY:

After the fearsome crocodile ravages the wight, Cott leaps past his allies, where he and Jenny attack the figure bearing the unholy symbol of Shax. He and Jenny both strike at her with wicked, razor sharp talons.

Cotts rolls copied and pasted from above for convenience's sake:

Cott Talon: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25
Cott Talon damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Jenny Talon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Jenny Talon damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Cott's conjured croc lunges forward at the final remaining wight.

bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24+grab
bite damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

tail slap: 1d20 ⇒ 4
tail slap damage: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

If bite hits:
grab (grapple): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

If grapple is successful:
death roll damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10+prone

Meanwhile Cott races down the stairs with Jenny following, past his allies and takes up a position to the west of the wight, where he lashes out to try to bring it down.

Cott Talon: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25
Cott Talon damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The gargoyle reels from Tarragon's terrific blows, exposing its back to Jenny, who leaps in, showing her predatory instincts, and scores two vicious cuts, felling the gruesome beast.

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Cott issues a command to his companion "Jenny, kill!" and a brief shout to his team in the stairway "Gargoyle here! Finish up down there!" before his flesh starts to ripple and shift, coming to rest in the shape of another raptor, larger and fiercer even than Jenny.

Jenny leaps at the Gargoyle with tooth and claw.

talon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
talon damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

talon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
bite damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Meanwhile the conjured crocodile continues to attack the orange wight.

bite damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6+grab

tail slap: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Croc save:Fortitude: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Also, how did the scarlet son hit Cott? Even without my shield out, my AC is 17, and he rolled a 16 to hit me. I've already acted so I'm not flat footed. What am I missing?

Cott will peek around the door, and cast his spell, but he and Jenny will stay upstairs for now.

Cott peeks in from the top of the staircase, and seeing no room for him and Jenny to enter the fray, decides on a less direct line of attack.

He mumbles to himself for a moment in druidic, and conjures a young crocodile at the bottom of stairs while he stays at the top awaiting either a tactical withdrawl, or an opening for him and Jenny to move in.

Cott has augment summoning to offset the strength reduction of the young template, and as a saurian shaman may cast Summon Nature's Ally as a standard action if summoning a reptile

The croc snaps at the wight in front of it (orange)

bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
bite damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7+grab

grab (grapple): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
If grapple is successful:
death roll damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11+prone

Cott follows Kelumur to the door, but stops there and waits as Kelumur stealthily enters the staircase, giving the rogue time to scout ahead as the rest of the team assembles.

Cott waits for Kelumur to check the door for traps or locks, and then moves to the rogue's side before the door is opened.

Cott cautiously follows Kelumur into the garden, enters the small graveyard, and kneels down to inspect the gravestones.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Actually, I can edit the map on my phone now. So I've placed Cott and Jenny on the map.

I don't have access to a PC at the moment, so if you could place icons for Cott and Jenny I'd appreciate it. Thanks GM Paladin.

Cott and Jenny follow behind Tarragon as he leads the way to the shrine, but hang back while Kelumur checks the door.

Cott proceeds with his fellow Pathfinders to the shrine, making a quick stop along the way at the stables to pick up Jenny, his faithful companion.

"Well, guess we'd better check out that shrine of Sarenrae. We'll be able to question local followers, and see for ourselves if there are any signs of a demon having flown in there."

Feeling like he's found out as much as he's likely to on his own, Cott decides to try and assist his comrades in their investigation.

Aid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

With Kasadei's aid, Cott is able to convince a pair of local children to relate the tail of having seen a demon.

"A demon... Might just be kids making up stories... but it could also explain the strange circumstances surrounding the murders. The local church might be able to tell us more."

Cott proceeds with the team, and tries talking to the locals to see if he can find out anything useful.

Gather Info: Diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

But he doesn't hear much besides general reports of strange noises.

"Flapping, scratching, and strange silences. Something with wings and claws...but dexterous and sentient enough to use a dagger and cut out the hearts of its victims."

Cott nods his shaggy head in agreement with the dour Kelumur.

"Ought to check out the scene of the latest murder too. Might as well kill two birds with one stone and talk to the folks around that area."

The druid shakes his head.

"Never much been one for god bothering myself. We who keep the Green Faith don't have much call for it."

As soon as the window is opened the hawk flaps into the room and onto an unoccupied chair, where its shape begins to grow and shift, until it eventually resolves into the form of a man with a great shaggy beard, and worn, rugged clothes. His outfit looks like it's seen nearly as many years hard use as the grizzled man himself, all except for the fine plumed hat perched jauntily upon his head. He nods graciously at Sheila, and says

"Familiar indeed."

He looks at the guard expectantly.

"So what can you tell us about our murderer other than his apparent grudge against the Dawnflower?"

As more of the party assembles, the rapping at the window contunues, as the hawk remains perched there awaiting entry.

As the pathfinders begin to assemble and settle themselves to await the arrival of Sheila Heidmarch, a sudden tapping begins to sound from the window.

Perched on the ledge is a small hawk, apparently desiring entrance to the room.

Level 5 Druid here, I'd love to join if there's still space.

Thanks Trex. It was fun as always.

Sure

Grapple, and if noone can cast it, I guess I'm paying for the restoration. Why do I need two?

It's maybe worth noting that the actual rules the society gave us were to not steal anything. The not trashing the place was just a request, not a hard and fast rule. I'm fairly certain that given the damage already done to the estate by the Aspis agents that are here because this jerk invited all manner of treasure seekers to try and come steal the book, an extra broken window wouldn't count too much against us.

Fort: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 2 = 10

Alrighty, cool. Conveniently, raptor Cott also has a speed of 60, so...

Seeing the bizarre mage flee north through the walls Cott releases a torrent of virulent profanity that sounds an awful lot like all the other incomprehensible growling he's been doing, then he dashes back through the door into the manor to try and cut off her escape.

Cott will move to northeast of the mage. How many images does she have left?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Well now I'm confused. Doesn't expeditious retreat increase your speed by 30? Which, since you have travel domain, which bumps your base up from 20 to 30, would make your speed 60, so a double would be 120. What have I missed? Is Skybek insanely encumbered?

Cott takes a single step south, and directs the flaming sphere north towards the slew of identical women.

Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 3) = 11
Reflex 15 negates

Then he roars and stamps his foot, sending a rippling wave of energy through the ground towards them.

Cast Thunderstomp. Trip attempt, with CL instead of BAB plus strength.

Trip: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Miss chance, high is better: 1d100 ⇒ 50

illusion? : 1d4 ⇒ 2

I think he was waiting to find out how our turns all ended definitively so that he'd know how to deal with Besai's action.
