Oh which direction? : 1d8 ⇒ 2

Crowe starts moving away from you guys!!

”Where are you all?! What’s going on?“

Ischell is able to disarm and trip Crowe again who is now sitting on the ground!!

And Ischell could still attack the Aboleth once.

See discussion for mechanics. :-) I hope I got everything right.

~

Reginald tries to capture Crowe's mind!

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

"How dare you Ischell!! Fight like a warrior!! And I am not Aaftaab!! Arghhh .... where am I? What is this place???!" the Shoanti shouts.

Robyyn is up!

~

Fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 271d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

The swarm slowly eats into the Aboleth.

fort save Crowe : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Crowe is hit and suddenly cannot move anymore!!

Crowe swore to always cooperate as a Pathfinder and hurting his allies is against his nature!!

will DC 22, +2: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 18 :-(

But the spell is too powerful and rage overcomes the Shoanti!

"I ... I will defeat you all! Prepare!" Crowe shouts against his will.

Super sorry guys! :-(

"Ischell, I ... I have to fight you!!!!!" Crowe says and attacks Ischell with such force that the paladin is almost hurled against the wall.

Rage 9/18 remaining. 4 mirror images. AC 15 now.

Reginald, Robyyn are up! Ischell at 16/53 hp if AC 23 was a hit.

"Ischell, let us finish him!!!!"

Crowe moves and attacks the sorcerer hitting him really hard on the head.
But the sorcerer seems to be only slightly wounded.

Rage 11/18 remaining.

Reginald, Robyyn and Ischell are up!

Any more buffing?

Crowe casts mirror image and enlarge person spells again to keep going.

mirror images : 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Crowe just shakes his head.

”Okay. Let’s move!“

lol;-)

Crowe is clearly confused and looks at Ischell and Robyyn.

“Look, this man is not seeing right? Or what’s his problem?!“ he asks pointing at Reginald.

Crowe grins at all of you.

”You have ugly fish faces but you guys can fight!!!“ he says grinning.

"Ischell, we’ll rescue you!!!!"

Crowe 5ft steps and attacks the last tentacle-lobster-creature where only the first strike hits the hard shell.

Rage 14/18 remaining. Swift: elemental electricity damage

“You .. you are very brave Ischell!! You held me here although I was afraid!!!“ the rager says to the Paladin.

Crowe moves forward with you to find a long corridor.

What do you do?

survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

"Yes, I walk with you Ischell! Thanks for the light!!"

He starts casting and mirror images appear around him.

# images: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

He then casts another spell and enlarges!

"Hee?!? Is this man deranged? I am Crowe! Crowe! Afataba is not my name!" Crowe says but he takes out his crowbar.

"Okay, open it and then I will use my crowbar ... you know a Crowe-BAR! to keep this thing open???!"

Crowe drinks his potion of fly.

You activate the mechanism and see it shuts with high speed every couple of seconds.

Crowe starts to rage! Robyyn casts guidance on him!

str +7, crowbar +2, guidance +1, DC 25: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 25 Good suggestion Reginald! :-)

Crowe looks at Robyyn and shrugs.

"Do you want me to hit it and hit it and hit it until it is broken and open? But then everyone knows that we are coming! Good for me! So should I hit it?" he says grinning.

Robyyn, you can also try to just open the portal below and then hope that you are not hit when you jump through!

A Shoanti man with broad shoulders and tribal tattoos stands motionless and looks at you.

When he starts speaking with a thick accent and deep voice the satisfaction to be able to compete is clearly evident.

"Do not worry fellow Pathfinders! Your companions were needed elsewhere and some of the wizards blinked them to the Grand Lodge! I am your replacement! But I am better than anybody! A test of blood and sweat ... I will enjoys this mission. You should be happy to have me with you - the gods blessed me with primal energies that no one can take away from me."

Crowe starts to laugh maniacally.

"Ha ha ... I am making a tooth brush out of this thing! Not worth a tattoo!!" he says with an arrogance that is almost too much.

Ha ha, I could not contribute much with Crowe during the skill / investigation part but he is strong in combat!

...And all the cover for people and walls in the way.

Shonne shifts one eyebrow upward about 3 mm.

Crowe, weren't you supposed to move out of the room?

Was not possible?! I think? Oh well, maybe Crowe just could not resist the to attack? ;-) Sorry!!

Remember to add the bonus to Crowe's first attack for being invisible, provided it helps.

Ah, forgot that! GM, the primary attack hit AC 31 then.

@Ingrge: Are you including inspire in your post?

Crowe attacks the red reaver.

“It will die!! It will bleed! I will win!!!“

Crowe feels great!

”Ahh, big, strong and shielded with force and illusions! I like that!! Thanks again!“

Thanks!

”Ahhh, I can feel the power!!“

Crowe is surprised.

”I have seen women bigger than you but you can really fight! But if you really have a death wish then I do not want to stand in your way! Can anybody actually make me stronger too?!“ he asks the group.

”What if it smells me? Those beasts have good noses I assume?! Ha ha ... “ and he starts laughing.

He practices hiding behind the door.

“But if I open the door then it will surely see me and attack me before it can reach the trip! If you can make me invisible then this could work out! I am willing to be at the front!“ the Shoanti says.

"I am ready to fight! Tell me when I have to open the door!"

Crowe will prepare everything to be able to open the door. He will cast mirror image, shield and enlarge person on himself.

Crowe starts clapping.

"You are sharp!"

Crowe thinks for a moment.

“I learned that in the circus, too. Listen: So seven items with four slots and the order is important. That means 7!/(7-4)! is equal to 840 possibilities to place them. I would suggest brute force by the way!“ he says and flexes his muscles!

Crowe grins.

"You are good company Solstice! Maybe we do this after we have survived the inevitable fight!"

Crowe seems to be wary of the suggestion to juggle.

”Hmm .. I can juggle. A Varisian circus once needed a bodyguard. Chelish idiots wanted papers. I showed them an earth breaker instead. The clown showed me some tricks then!“ he says with some comfort that this is a trusted environment.

He looks at Solstice for a moment and thinks.

”Well, let me show you... “

acrobatics : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Crowe picks up two stones from the ground. He starts to move forward and suddenly is upside down and balancing his body on one arm. He has the two stones in the other hand and starts juggling with those.

Suddenly his facial expression changes and he seems to be almost ashamed of his performance.

”Arghh!! Look what this inaction is making me do Solstice!!“ he says clenching his teeth.

boon?? : 1d20 ⇒ 19

Crowe is becoming restless.

”I feel so useless! Is there nothing that I can attack here?!“ he says.

Crowe watches the group perform their analysis.

He waits for any trouble.

Crowe remains in the back.

Crowe is still holding his earthbreaker with two hands and his knuckles are white from the pressure!

Ha ha! That is really a good one!!

I only know a handful of your characters but none of them seemed too overconfident. Hmmm ... maybe Zzorn a bit! ;-)

Ha ha, yes, melee can be tough but rogues can be great at that too. :-)

I like your build.

Crowe is a pregen but well built I think.

So when did you have trouble in melee?

Crowe bites on his teeth!

Rarely had two such sneaky characters in a group! And you also fight very well!

Ha ha. :-)

So maybe we refrain from killing the next person hiding behind the door.

Almost to herself, Solstice mutters "Have you ever noticed how folks feel justified, even enthusiastic about killing orcs? I wonder if they might have been able to be convinced to help us in our mission. Oh well! They do tend to be a bit of a problem. Most of the time."

I think you are completely right! :-D

With any other character I would never have attacked. Maybe even intervened. But Crowe is Crowe... ;-)

Crowe continues raging and attacks the orc in red armor.

HASTE +1 furious earth breaker, ic +2/2, haste +1/0, rage +2/3 2h, furious +2/2, furious focus + power attack +0/6: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 292d6 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 8 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 33

“I am killing Orcs!“ he says with foam in his mouth.

Crowe walks forward. Surprise round.

He starts raging and then attacks the orc in blue armor. (Round 1 full attack, rage means he has 95 hp with raging Vitality Feat.)

HASTE +1 furious earth breaker, ic +2/2, haste +1/0, rage +2/3 2h, furious +2/2, furious focus + power attack +0/6: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 292d6 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 8 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 24

“I am glad that we are not negotiating with these Orcs!“ he says and spits on the floor.

Crowe tries to keep his composure but his facial expression and tense body language make obvious that he dislikes the course of action to negotiate with the orcs.

But he stays silent.

Crowe raises an eyebrow.

"Okay, maybe we start to look at what gave strength to the people that came here! I remember hearing that! So maybe it makes me strong, too. Can you detect anything magical?"

Can we take 20 to search?

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Crowe looks around with little interest.

Then his eyes fall on Ingrge.

"Hey you! You with the pointy ears! I know you! I mean ... I don't remember faces well but seeing you move and jump and hide suddenly made me think. I .. ehh .. I mean ... we won this jungle chalice thing together!! You were the honest guy, right?!" he asks as if he is still not sure if he's right.

Craft untrained: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

"Oh no ... hiding! Running! And now barricading like cowards! Ouch ... ouch ... this nail hurt my pinky!" Crowe shouts and looks at his finger.

Craft untrained: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

"Ehh ... no idea! This is too complicated for me! I use the hammer to break things ... ehh ... not build them!"
