Sheet looks great! Thanks again!

Daiko's going to attemtp to chart the leylines in this region before the next mission (using Downtime for faction goal)
boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 18
And thanks so much GM! This scenario's a really interesting one, and I enjoyed playing with all of you! Though Daiko still thinks Roidira's a bit monstrous :)
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Of course. Daiko nods. It was good to have met you. And yes, please call on our Society again whenever needed.

Daiko would also buy a pair of Alchemist Fires, now that he thinks about it.

The Roidirans have discredited themselves Daiko replies. But Tofang is right: hopefully they will now move on. The White Feather group has not seemed to bother anyone as far as we have seen. I would also not want them marred by the actions of others.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
If you don’t want something, say it. Daiko shakes his head. Dont leave thhose dedicated to you in the dark and say nothing when they lash out at others.
He agrees with al-Sahba.Cruelty is a fair word for it.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
If a God truly wanted that, I would dream there are far better ways to do so. Daiko sighs. Still, at least they are now debating something
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
For me, it as just nothing. Daiko says, confused. Darkness, and the hint of things that never came.
It was just like the cultists' state: nothing pretending to be leading tho a point, but always keeping it out of reach. This 'faith' is not healthy.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
What...what was that? Daiko says, looking around as he emerges. The lack or 'Roidira' frustrates him to no end.
No. the tengu rebukes to the remaining cultists. You do not need to disappear. Just return to the city. Live your lives, with meaning. He pleads with them to try and break through. Whatever that was, it made you sad. Forlorn. But there is so much life to enjoy instead.
Diplomacy to try and lighten them up: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Daiko winces as the Presence's ire seems to focus on him. The tengu remains mildly defiant however, and uses her next words as the perfect chance to rebut. No. I told the spirits above: I believe in things. In people. In bonds and experience. Cherry is right. You cannot actually believe nothing. If you do, you do not even believe that. Without belief, without things that anchor, a person just spirals down, past a hole that does not end.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
That saying would help clear the mind. There is value in thinking on a problem without bringing what you have already thought with you. Daiko adds.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
The tengu cannot help himself but go further however. But your followers are taking it too far. They are not putting meaning in anything, instead they are wasting away in despair.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Daiko frowns at the apparition. Your followers, those you have been speaking to, have become despondent. Is that what you intend to do to us?
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Seeing several of his allies pulling out magical assaults, Daiko regretfully draws his weapon and swings it at the closet cultist - angled so the flat of the blade moves towards them.
Attack (for non-lethal): 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 17 for nonlethal damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 plus electrical: 1d6 ⇒ 1

SM: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Daiko follows the samurai into the room. Keeping his scimitar sheathed for now, he spreads his wings. You do not need weapons! We only want to understand what is going on here.
Double Move
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
If this extends a bit in, I shouldn’t have too many issues (not using Daiko in any Session 2s, and overall bandwidth should be a bit lower on the second half)
But it may not even come up :)
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Whoops! That's my bad. You're right: think I mis-read the map as a glance.
Daiko joins Gack in trying to carefully make their cay around the incline to the chamber's other side. The messages carved here, they make even less sense than the spirits' words about nothing. What is the point of all of this? It could make one go mad.
He turns to face the rest, eyes wide. Is that the point of this?
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Glad that did it: the speech would have been a bit embarrassing if Daiko’d followed it up by tripping over his talons :)
Daiko sheathes his sword mournfully. They were so caught up in meaninglessness, even after death. What a sad existence. He looks to Gack and Cherry. Are you too all right?
———
Descending into the shrine, the tengu looks around cautiously What is that strange mist ahead?
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
I am not alone. Daiko says. I have Hei Feng above, to guide me His blade lights up with lightning. I have family at home, to anchor me. He swings the scimitar one more time. And allies and new friends here, to push me.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 for damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 plus electric: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Crit?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 for another: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Friendship is something. A mission is something. Allies are something. Daiko says as he moves towards the speaker. He raises a scimitar. I am sorry you can not see the value in that.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 for damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 plus elec: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Know Planes: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
We tried to be nice. We did not want to fight. Daiko says as he slides closer to the descending stairwell and draws his sword. I am sorry you would not let us pass in peace.
Move: draw scimitar. Five-foot step, swift action activate elemental strike, the swing at blue.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 for damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus electric damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
If there is nothing for anyone, then there is nothing to worry about us disrupting. And nothing worth defending from us.
The tengu cautiously continues moving forwards, hoping these are the 'reasonable to logical arguments' type of spirits.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
That may explain why they are so...despondent as of late Daiko looks to the others nervously. Do you think the spirits will let us just pass and explore?
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
As the group reaches the old shrine, Daiko squints as the old stonework emerges from a distance. What are those statues of...
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Daiko sees the lizard turn to leave...and stays his blade. I think it will have learned not to bite at travell-oh. his words stop as he sees Naruhito's powerful strike. Well it was a dangerous creature.
He looks at Styrian and fumbles for his own wand. Here fiend. I cannot use this myself, but clearly you can. Please, he offers it out to the occultist. It could as easily have been me in its mouth.
Feel free to use some of my wand too Styrian It's nice and fresh at the moment.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Styrian! Daiko squawks in alarm as his colleague is ravaged by the lizard. Drawing his weapon, the tengu moves around the sands to help Naruhito assault the animal.
Let go of him!
Move, swift action to active Elemental strike, attack
Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 plus electricity damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Daiko approaches the watering hole, drawing out his waterskin. Ah! A good place to site and rest for a moment. I must say I am not a fan of the desert.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
If its getting close to night, perhaps head out at first light then? The Roidrians are all about 'Dark' knowledge: confronting them in daylight has a certain thematic appeal even beyond, you know, seeing
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
I understand Daiko says to the woman, disappointed but not shocked. Thank you very much for your advice any way. My Sarenrae's light shine on you.
He makes his way back to the group staying a few strides away from Gack, who looks a bit unwell. I does appear that the Roidirans seem to have found, or think they found, something in the jungle. Perhaps by going there we can find a way to calm them.

Daiko's conversational partner is a tall, sinewy woman who hunches over the bar, her bare arms revealing the strong muscles that hold up the length of rope she has coiled over her shoulders. "Not exactly from around here, are you?" she says in a deep, but melodic voice.
"Though I suppose seein' as your wings are well behind your eyes, I can't quite blame you." She smirks at him. "Still, they might not be fussing around here, but there's a camp outside the city where these Roidirans meet up with one another and spend the night before heading north towards the jungle. Who knows where they go after that, but I got some work on the side on my day off escorting these folks to the camp, and they were just wrong." The memory seems to bother her a bit and she shivers.
No, Daiko admits. I am quite a ways from my home. But my colleagues and I are trying to meet with some of the Roidirans. you say you escort them to their camp: what would it cost for you to do the same for us?
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Daiko moves up towards the bar and orders an ale. As he waits for it, he tries to start a conversation with some of the other patrons.
What a long day, yes? Well, could have been worse. At least I did not see any of those black wings around, eh? Daiko attempts to awkwardly direct the conversation towards the Roidirans, somewhat oblivious to the fact the he literally has black-ish wings.

Or your sect! Daiko chirps in. We understand the White Feathers are a significant group in this city. But I confess I have not yet heard the best description of your faith.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Daiko thanks their host graciously for the meal before meeting his new friends outside.
Going to that social club does make sense. I am still not entirely sure what the White Feathers represent: it will be interesting to hear their belies from one of their own!

GM Hiyami wrote:
Her expression becomes decidedly more serious as she continues. "What can I say about those who believe in nothing?" she says, stern. "A void is not silent; it screams with its utter pointlessness until it is the only sound your very soul can hear. To listen to these Roidirans talk, that is what they seek. They begin every incantation, every prayer, with the mantra 'There is no presence; there is no absence. There is no meaning; only knowledge.' To reach this terrible state of grace, they abjure everything we've ever known."
Although she's not quite scowling, her brows draw together and the edges of her mouth turn down. "They reject the knowledge of our libraries and universities, the collected wisdom of centuries of Sarenite faith, and the stacks of debate about our laws and politics. To them, these are the playthings of lesser minds, and only the secrets that Roidira keeps are true knowledge."
Daiko gives a nod of thanks to the servers as they set out the food in front of him, then nibbles at a sample of the closest dish as he listens to the priestess. There may be a middle ground though, no? he asks her. You are right that ignoring interpretation or meaning is...meaningless. The sun is hottest during Shizura and Daiket - sorry, your Sarenith and Erastus - but deciding that means clothes should be lighter and water may dry and lower requires interpretation, a basic one at least.
But challenging what others have written is not always bad. Other people could have learned things that old scholar did not think of, and that could change their theory. The key would be that the challenger needs to show their work, wouldn't it. So long as they acknowledge they have the burden to prove old thoughts are wrong, we should be willing to listen if they show us why.

Daiko sits, quite distracted at first as he takes in the grandeur of the temple. He nods nervously to the window behind him (the one showing the God stabbing Rovagug.
That is a much more...impressive retelling than our performance. he nervously says. As for the Rodrians, I am even less familiar with the details of their group than yours. But our captain says they seek knowledge, but reject what people take as already known knowledge? That seems a bit foolish to me. There are assumptions that are shown to be wrong, but to assume every assumption is wrong is an even greater assumption. Daiko awkwardly sips at the water set out as he realizes his thoughts are not the most coherent dogma. To me anyway
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Same - feel better Though there’s no way you’re sicker than the forums I hope.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Oh Daiko says, a bit surprised. If you do not mind then, I will meet you at the temple then. Everyone appears so colorful and happy about: I would like to see more about how they celebrate their faith.
If no one objects, Daiko would like to roam about the city a bit more, both to pick up some nicer clothes for the evening's dinner (Courtier's outfit in the local style, for 30gp) and to potentially learn more about how the local traditions may out their spin on Sarenrite worship.
Not sure if relevant for that, but if needed, Knowledge Local (if Diplomacy better for this task, add 2): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Daiko nods as the woman approaches. He smiles at her compliments, but clucks a bit in alarm as she speaks of 'silliness' I did not mean to offend in my depiction of Sarenrae. She is not the Sun God I am most familiar with: I tried to give her the needed poise and skill but if I misjudged my role I apologize.

Never Rovagug! Daiko cries. He feigns distress as severla of the machine's arms close in on him, but continues: The light will conitue to shine for all of my children. But if you like it so little, you can go to a place that you won't see it!
The tengu makes sure his sword chops into the sandy earth. Glancing over at Cherrie as she perfomrs, he whispers *psst* A circle in the dirt. Around the machine.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Really informative Tofang! That will help a lot!
Watching Tofang and Styrian begin to make the mechanical Rovagug look suitably menacing, Daiko grips his newly bought red and gold robe tight as he strides confidently forwards.
Oh No! he yells to get the crowds attention. The Rough Beast stirs! He looks around the square. And the cowardly Asmodeus and Zon-Kuthon and the rest are not here this time. Daiko pushes a moment for the crowd to boo.
Then the tengu pulls out his scimitar. But no matter! For as the sun always rises, I shall always stand against you! As Daiko advances, he begins hurling inventive a against the beast in not just Common, but a blend of Ignan, Auran, and Aquan as well. (the pidgin sentences don’t exactly make sense, but he hopes the mix of strange condiments and sounds seem appropriately intimidating). The tengu ducks and dives as ‘Rovagug’’s arms lash out at him. Whenever his blade brushes against the metal creation, as Faiko draws it away he channels a bit of Air into the sword, causing it to spark.
Also going into Air form for a bit while the fight truly begins.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 2 + 1 = 20
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Oh! Daiko says. He turns to the rest of the party. I've never acted before, but I can probably help make Rovagug seem good and menacing. This should be fun!
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Daiko agrees and begins wandering towards what looks like the hearts of the festivities. As they move, he asks I thought the Roidirans looked for 'hidden, uncomfortable truths'. If they are acting likes nothing matters and everything is going bad anyway, I wonder what they know?
While they move, Daiko keeps an eye out for any street vendors, looking to see if there are any treats he could sample purchased fairly of course to see the local cuisine.
If there seem to be costumes or local attire popular with the festival, Daiko may buy some of those as well.

Per: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Ling: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Daiko's eyes widen at the sheer energy of the city. As the party disembarks and tries to make their way through the crowd, he whispers to Cherrie This certainly is a vast city. Are all Places in this part of the world so crowded?
When Tofang mentions the guards, the tengu looks around and is surprised to see the wayang is correct. He whispers back Yes, strange. It sounds like they are worried about Rodrians. I think they did something yesterday: no one knows if it will happen again. I wonder what it was, to need so many men watching for it?
Seeing the wayang move to ask a guard more directly, Daiko smiles back at the nearest priest as she offers her blessing. Yes, as the storm clears away! he says in agreement.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
I hope it is not so. Daiko agrees with Tofang. Though if we run into a dead end, perhaps with some dye I can blend in to the White Feathers at least!
He rustles a bit at his own joke (whether anyone else finds it funny or not) but then turns and nods at the newest arrival. Ah, hello 'Cherrie'. It is always good to meet a new Pathfinder.
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
Daiko pores over Qaradi's note carefully. Putting it down, he chirps to the others.
Hmm. Are any of you from Qadira? Their systems seem very formal.
Still, I am curious to see what these Rodarians and White Feathers are saying. Perhaps their teachings may have some refelction in those of Hei Feng!
Male Tengu shifter 8/11| AC: 18 | T:13 | FF:15 | CMD:14 | Fort:+3 | Ref:+5 | Will:+2 | Init:+3 | Perc:+8
I am well. a tengu man dressed in leather bows down to the samurai. Daiko Chirrut. And thank you for asking.
He looks around at the other fellow Pathfinder agents who seem to have received the same summons he did. Checking to make sure his shield and scimitar are both securely stored away, Daiko's eyes widen at the pair of small allies comparing their technology.
Oh my! Are those Alenkstar weapons? I have never seen one myself before, much less a pair. They must be so common on this side of the world.
