Dagat Nagtitiis's page

Hah. And yes, Dagat is staying dead. Not enough for a raise. Thanks for running us through the whole thing, GM Kim. =]

Constitution (Stabilize DC 10): 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 1 - 4 = 3

Dagat continues to bleed to death.

Many watch with bated breath to see what the Pathfinders will do in this crucial moment...

Bleed to death? *grin* Hold out a little longer, guys!

Constitution (Stabilize DC 10): 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 1 - 3 = 8

I still find this fun. Yes, I'm the guy who finds TPKs fun. Shh. Oh, and don't forget our main goal. We simply need to flee with the braid and secure the last living descendant. Argue that Je Tsun can ask the Pathfinder Society for help in reclaiming her village in exchange for activating the braid or something. I dunno!

"Elian!" Dagat yells, seeing him left unattended.

Dagat takes a step southeast to get out of the flanking position and to cover Thael as she strikes at the bandit again.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

>_> We're doomed. The perils of mismanagement.

Elian, you should have stayed asleep! (I kid!) But, boy, this isn't going well. I calmly suggest a strategic retreat. Thael, I hope you have a spell that will help out.

Dagat hurriedly attempts to end the life of the bandit facing her as reinforcements arrive, but her haste works against her.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I don't thinking spending a point here will help. Dangit. Why couldn't they be human?! At least then they'd be Dagat's favored enemy. Not that she's speciesist or anything. She just wants certain things to die more than others.

Dagat staying put so the Bandit 7 can't get through her to the others. Not that it will help.

It will be terribly interesting.

That's a super fail on the familiar's part. The dice rolls are against us! And yes, I'm betting someone gets reinforcements next round. Dagat may be thinking about a strategic retreat if things get worse. Dagat is holding the braid, isn't she? Just need to grab one of those horses....

There's going to be more bandits, aren't there?

I completely forgot about defense points to be honest. High time to use 'em! Also, thanks for clearing things up about Aid Another on spell effects plus the not-actually flanking.

"Yes," Dagat says, focusing on the battle. "I have no time to hand it to you. Pick it up after I drop it when this one is dead."

This battle really isn't going well. Move action to draw scimitar, 5-foot step SW to flank, then standard to attack Bandit #7.

Dagat avoids the bandit's blade and draws her scimitar with her free hand. She moves to flank the bandit and quickly strikes with her blade.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Dagat has a Wand of Cure Light Wounds. Just tell her to drop it next round!

I've got 17 more blunt arrows and 20 cold iron after that, so I'm still good for arrows. I'm assuming Dagat can see/hear the tengu casting the spell.

Dagat moves closer to the barricades and shoots an arrow at the tengu still casting a spell, attempting to disrupt it.

Longbow (blunt arrow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Move and shoot at bandit #11.

Dagat sprints towards the right and fires a shot at the bandit she hears singing something that in no way should apply to the bandits out of principle.

Longbow (blunt arrow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

"We are at war, " Dagat spits out, stepping back several feet to nock another arrow and draw her bow to fire at the bandit, watching satisfied when it smacks into his chest, the blunt force knocking him back several feet. "But I shall be glad to lead them to peace, Or leave them in pieces."

Longbow (blunt arrow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

5-foot step and another shot at bandit #5

Wooh! Getting rid of Bandit #5 before we try on the rest. Though, if we're having trouble here, I fear for the rest of the villagers considering they were already having trouble.

Dagat fires another arrow at the remaining tengu past the barricades, but the sun got caught in her eyes.

Vitreous not being made to contain such heat, the sun proceeds to immolate her from the inside-out--no, wait, that was just another daydream.

Longbow (blunt arrow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Another shot at the remaining bandit.

Dagat takes another shot but seems to suffer the same misfortune as the tengu.

Longbow (blunt arrow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Dagat dashes south then nocks an arrow, draws her bow, and lets loose at the remaining upright bandit.

Longbow (blunt arrow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Or a retcon 5-foot step southwest I suppose. Thael goes before me so he can probably tell me to move before my turn.

Dagat moves back and fires a shot at the bandit in front of her.

Longbow (common arrow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

5-foot step backwards and a shot at the bandit in the middle.

Shooting at the bandit Gorn hit.

Longbow (common arrow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Like a heroic figure from tribal tales passed down, Dagat avoids the arrows, one barely grazing her before she shoots back.

Longbow (common arrow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Satisfied with her opening shot, she retreats back into the cover of the barricades, already planning another shot.

Yet another shot at bandit #3 before move-action climb back into the cover of the barricades. Little too close there, yikes.

Dagat would like to start on top of the barricades already, if that's fine.

Dagat aims her bow and fires a straight shot at the bandit in front of her, arrow sailing straight in the air.

Longbow (common arrow): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Dagat doesn't take range penalties from the first 200 feet. Targeting bandit #3.

Interesting! We might not have did as well as we could have, but let's kick bandit butt anyway.

Dagat will stay behind the northern barricades of the main road, shooting bandits with a vengeance. It would be even more awesome if she was doing it on top of a house for higher ground, but that might be a tad too exposed for her tastes.

Am I using my own arrows here, though? I have about 50 arrows with me and while that means about 50 turns of consecutive shooting (roughly 5 minutes of Dagat fury), Dagat's effectiveness would drop after she runs out, if this raid lasts that long. Also, a bunch of the remaining are specialty arrows where I would like to use only Common ones. I don't mind in either case, but I'd like to know beforehand so I don't get surprised if I run out of arrows mid-raid!

Oh, and I don't think it was clarified, but are all the bandits tengu? Because I have a nifty favored enemy against humans which I'm not sure to apply when the time comes.

Don't worry, cold stone floor. Dagat is here for you. Oh, and cool with repeating the actions. I'm not sure how good the archers are now though, so I might go train some close-combat or send the archers to help barricade construction.

I'm fine with that assignment.

Dagat would really recommend ammunition. The new archers would be no good if they had nothing to shoot. I'd also recommend 10 combat training and the remaining 30 at the barricades.

Craft (bows) {untrained}: 1d20 ⇒ 11

I'm fine with this plan.

That's fine with me!

I'm fine with the breakdown. Dagat will make a man out of these villagers! *cue Mulan montage*

20 on the harvest, 10 with archers and Dagat training them is fine with me.

Dagat does not push Je Tsun further on the matter.

I'd recommend all 30 to bring in the harvest. Dagat will help with it.

Woooooah. Didn't expect this. Do those potions she gave come pre-identified?

Dagat, as the daughter of a chieftain, is well-versed with the politics and deliberations of the thing. Her skills are rusty and oft-forgotten, but she still knows enough to be able to speak with authority.

"Concentrate everyone on Bringing in the Harvest," she says. "I will teach Archery Training when it is done. Then, Flood the Fields. An attack on us will become more difficult and the archers will be more effective this way. Also Post two Scout groups. Knowing when they come will be a great advantage. Once we know when they come, we can focus on constructing barricades or teaching Combat Training, depending on the time we have left. This is my advice."

Dagat would like to speak to Je Tsun regarding the Braid and activating it and whatnot. Also subtly hint that she might be able to use it to defend the town as a sweetener. That was our initial mission after all and Dagat would see it through.

Dagat offers out her name before returning to her translation, as terse as ever.

Suspicious of Xien Wun Lao, she attempts to discern his full motives, if he only seeks to use them for his family's own protection or if there is something he has conveniently left out.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 2 = 24 Additional +2 bonus from Favored Enemy.

There is little room for compassion in Dagat's heart. She is well-versed in the harshness of life and the fact that kindness is too often laid down for what is necessary.

Dagat returns to the group and nods to the peasants, ready to act as translator.

Bandit.

Dagat makes one last shot before putting her bow down.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 8 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 - 8 = 16
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Yeah, I think that's my last shot. The penalty is too ridiculous now.

Dagat moves forward and takes another parting shot at the mounted bandit.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 - 2 = 9
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Aww, man. Dagat really wanted to kill that guy.

My maximum range is 1000 feet. I only start taking penalties after 200 feet due to Hunter's Eye. Could I take one more shot? I'm really the only one who has the range necessary and the penalty would be really stacked, but Dagat is the type who would try.

FYI, Dagat will keep pelting them with arrows.

My target would be Bandit 2.

Dagat moves to the small clearing for a better position before firing another arrow at the escaping bandits.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Move and another shot at Bandit 2.

Dagat sprints forward, keeping close to the treeline. She hesitates for a split-second to decide whether to help Elian or Chaul, but decides on the heavily-wounded latter over the undamaged former.

She shoots her bow, feeling a holy blessing wash over her as the arrow flies, spinning in the air towards one of the bandits harassing the cleric.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Looks like the dice gods were just waiting for you to say the word, Kim!

Noorzad, weren't you supposed to be recording the battle for posterity? Also, Dagat moves and shoots Bandit 2.

Hearing the hoofbeats stop abruptly, Dagat leaves the peasants to dash into the trees and take a shot at the now-unmounted bandit.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

These rolls are so, so bad.

Heh, Noorzad. Firing at Bandit 2 then another move.

Dagat fires yet another arrow at the mounted bandit before dashing past the trees to move into the small crowd of peasants.

She gives them only a glance and a quick nod to assure them she has come to help before turning her back on them and notching an arrow, eyes looking for any sign of movement from where she remembered the enemy was.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Fire at Bandit 2 then move South. I don't heal from the channel as I'm out of range.

Dagat fires at the mounted bandit before dashing southwards to mask her position.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Dagat sprints through the trees again, taking position to shoot an arrow at the unguarded back of the bandit near Gorn.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Move south then shoot at bandit 3 near Gorn.

Dagat switches her attention to the bandit riding past her, bow trailing with an arrow shooting soon after before she performs another feint, moving to the edge of the small clearing near her position.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Shot at Bandit 1 and then move action SW.

Withdraw NE, then moving away! Chaul, don't worry about healing me. I have ludicrous range and can play keep-away.

Dagat senses the danger she is in and quickly dodges the two bandits, stepping out of range and heading deeper into the woods, back to her comrades. She sees the townsfolk are not paid attention to and plans to keep it that way, preparing to shoot should the bandits refocus their attention from her.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Dagat scurries through the forest, drawing closer to the villagers and the enemy.

Continuing stealth. Double move again. Are the villagers restrained?

I'm not sure what the move is for the forest squares but since they're insistent on trying words, Dagat will use the opportunity to get a better position. She'll head forward then to the forest to the left.

Dagat sprints into action, heading into cover before she is seen.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

I forgot you could do knowledge checks of DC10 untrained.

Knowledge (geography): 1d20 ⇒ 5
Knowledge (local): 1d20 ⇒ 5

Nope, no smartypants here.

Dagat translates the rider's words for the others.

Feel free to look at the spoiler up there.

"One of them might know who we search for," Dagat says, and already she has her bow out. Her voice is vicious when she speaks next. "Diplomacy? Of course. We may try after they have acquired a few arrows in them."

To the new pathfinders, Dagat has been a stoic woman throughout their trip and this is one of the few times she shows any strong emotion.

Also, to those who weren't here for the previous adventures, diplomacy in our group translates to violence.
