Daraj l'Bayal, Mulitt Hero's page

"Ettercaps, eh? I think I might know a thing or two about them..."

Nature +14(T) to Recall Knowlegde about Ettercaps.

"I thought our accommodations would be a bit nicer. Should I just burn them out?"

Not a weapon guy, so will pass on the runes.

Crafting: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23

LOL - what awful thing does Daraj think the runes do?

"Aye, that was a good warm-up. I think we will be seeing you near the end of the tourney."

Daraj is itching to pull something flammable out of his pouch, but limits himself to step, strike, strike as before.

+1 Glaive, Nonlethal: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 17 - 2 = 31
Nonlethal Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

+1 Glaive, Nonlethal: 1d20 + 17 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 17 - 2 - 5 = 29
Nonlethal Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

And seems to be rewarded for his restraint.

Our tengu opponent is still active, so Daraj will move over and try a couple more smacks.

+1 Glaive, Nonlethal: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 17 - 2 = 22
Nonlethal Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

+1 Glaive, Nonlethal: 1d20 + 17 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 17 - 2 - 5 = 13
Nonlethal Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Flat Check vs. Tengu: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Flat Check vs. Catfolk: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Daraj is not happy to be flanked by a giant bird. He takes a step into a safer position and continues his attacks.

+1 Glaive, Nonlethal, vs. Tengu: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 17 - 2 = 25
Nonlethal Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

+1 Glaive, Nonlethal, vs. Catfolk: 1d20 + 17 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 17 - 2 - 4 = 29
Nonlethal Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Oh dear! Take care of that kid. We will be here when you are ready.

Daraj steps again, hoping to slowly approach the other combatants, and reverses his strikes from the last round.

+1 Glaive, Nonlethal, vs. Human: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 17 - 2 = 33
Nonlethal Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

+1 Glaive, Nonlethal, vs. Tengu: 1d20 + 17 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 17 - 2 - 4 = 19
Nonlethal Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Daraj steps toward his opponents and tries to strike each once around Tarik. Not sure if that's a penalty, so apply for me if needed.

+1 Glaive, Nonlethal, vs. Tengu: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 17 - 4 = 20
Nonlethal Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

+1 Glaive, Nonlethal, vs. Human: 1d20 + 17 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 17 - 4 - 4 = 27
Nonlethal Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Daraj is pretending to be another class. Other than non-lethal, he will be doing his best to be a fighter today.

Daraj figures that the even-more-unspoken message from Loong was to not give away any information about their team, and starts reviewing his glaive forms to hopefully look competent without revealing his primary fighting style.

"Sure. I could stretch my legs a bit after the sea voyage."

"My name is Daraj l'Bayal," the alchemist says, bowing to their guide. "It is an honor to be here and under your guidance.

"If you will forgive a fool of a dwarf, however, may I ask... how is it that we are to acquire more feathers?"

Daraj assumes the answer is "beat people up and take their stuff", but wants to hear it from them.

Society: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

"Aye, it was quite the educational voyage. And I made sure to put extra butter in the portions for the others. There's quite a crowd here."

Definitely looking forward to this game, but life first, always.

"I don't suppose you can tell us what exactly makes this 'Danger Island'?'

Daraj will also share the information from the above spoiler with the Loong Shots once we are alone.

Arcana: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27
Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
Society +18 (T)

"That's a neat trick. I can scatter the deck just fine, but have to pick them up the old fashioned way."

Daraj will tell the rest of the Loong Shots what he learns in private.

"Well, Jinyi, let's go. Best to be well rested for tomorrow. If someone straggles in late, they are welcome to the hammock as long as they're quiet about it."

Ninja'd. ---Then---

"I'm sure there's more to each of us than meets the eye," Daraj says amiably, "and neither of us are eager to spill too many of our secrets, lest they be used against us. I'm sure, whether on the field of battle or in the seats, we will learn all about each others' capabilities.

"For now, I will tell my own story, about when I had to join forces with Razmiri to fend off the walking dead. And Tino was not there, so he will not know whether what I say is true or not."

He discusses #1-18 Lodge of the Living God, though he casts himself as a simple spearman rather than an alchemist.

---Now---

"I've no one to share my cabin with yet, and I guarantee it will smell better than any others on board. My own team get first choice of berths there, of course, but members of the Toughest are welcome should there be space remaining."

As a reminder to all. This is Thanksgiving week, and thus I understand if people are unable to post. That said, if everyone is still able to do so, I will happily keep things moving forward.

Kid home all week, so although my share of meal prep is minimal, I probably won't be able to post a lot either.

(Fortunately' wife's Cooking Lore is +99.)

Not complaining about 75 gp for a single skill check.

Daraj happily accepts the post, and is willing to share space with any of the Loong Shots who don't earn their own berth (but is taking the best/only bed for himself).

Otherwise you may make a DC 26 Athletics or Acrobatics check to show your use in the masts. Or a DC 24 Nature or Sailing Lore check to show your use as a navigator. Otherwise, come up with another job and appropriate skill to do it, and I would be happy to allow it at one of those DCs.

Surprising no one in the Loong Shots, Daraj greets the captain and each of the crew warmly and quickly volunteers to assist in the galley to earn his passage.

Cooking Lore: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (10) + 22 = 32

So tempted...

"Just a moment while I get my belongings from my room," Daraj says as he stands from the table. After a moment, he returns to the common room, his belongings stashed in a small bag. He gives the staff a hearty goodby, then sets out.

fails his perception check to find the link.

Daraj will happily stay as far from the front line as possible.

Daraj finishes his food, then pulls out a notebook and starts brainstorming recipe ideas. "I bet I could get some incredible tea around here for chai bars..."

"Would you prefer I use almond flour for my next creation? That would certainly increase the protein content."

*blushes the same color as his paprika*

As a hawk, I feel Rekla and Tarik might feel a special kinship! Scout buddies! :D

I seem to end up in games with twinned companions a lot. I had one before Gameday where my character and another both had rhamphorhynchus.

A dwarf, more doughy than doughty, enters the room in a flour-stained apron bearing a tray of pastries. It seemed odd at first that someone hand-picked to compete in this tournament would have almost immediately made his way to the galley and started working with the crew, but a few meals that were better than you've ever experienced during travel have softened your outlook. It also didn't hurt that he showed you some of the other things he could cook up: potions both beneficial and baneful, and you suspect the meat in the larder is not the only thing that he will be flame-broiling during your stay in Goka.

He places the tray on the table before you. Even after arriving, he did not stop helping whenever there was food to be prepared. He has not been the best conversationalist, but nothing seems to stop him from ingratiating himself with the staff. "I think these should go well with this vintage," he says, taking one to his seat and pouring himself some wine. "Raisins may seem too on the nose, I admit, but a little bit of cardamom and something from my home that I'll keep secret for now allows the flavors to meld in a way you won't be expecting."

Apparently, he decided at some point that he should look presentable for the tournament, as his bright red hair and beard have been trimmed, excising the singed ends he seems to accumulate daily. At the moment, he is wearing plain explorer's clothing and his clan dagger, but you know that a wicked-looking glaive and a pouch full of dangerous reagents waits in his room for the moment when you are called to battle.

Adding a bit after looking over the player's guide.

Player Name: cmlobue
Character Name: Daraj l'Bayal

Chronicle looks good. Thanks for a great game, especially Doug for running!

Junissa will likely be heading back to the capitol, making it difficult for her to keep in touch with the new Pathfinders in the Lodge without seeming suspicious. That said, if she could manage somehow, the inside info would be a boon.

This could be a benefit, if she is frequently at both the city and here. She will have more opportunity to discreetly discuss things while away from town.

Daraj is willing to be convinced otherwise, but is still leaning towards giving her his token.

Daraj intercepts Lokoloko and inspects the pickle at last, pondering what one would do with one, especially in a sandwich. After a moment, he has an idea. He asks Bessama to fetch him some bread, ham, pork cheese, and mustard and eggs (to make mayonnaise) and begins slicing the pickles lengthwise...

What is the Golarion equivalent of Cubano?

"Another draw!" Daraj huffs as he "pats" Lokoloko on the back, possibly a little more firmly than necessary. "Of course, these creatures did not let us display our full talents. Who ever hears of skeletons that don't burn? Preposterous!"

Daraj joins the celebration, complimenting each of the lads or lasses - Pathfinder and Razmiran alike - on their skill at construction and/or combat (though Dethor may get a dwarven term of brotherhood instead).

Daraj spent most of the time working with Junissa, so he would be inclined to give it to her. She was also "brought from the capital", so might not have warm fuzzy feelings after being shipped to the backwater.

I also feel like one of the priest's guards would be a coup, but I have no idea how to determine which if any of them would be a good candidate.

"Avoid fire? You may as well tell me to avoid using garlic!"

The skeletons have lined up for a convenient if futile attack.

◆ Interact to draw lesser alchemist's fire

◆ Strike vs. 3

Lesser Alchemist's Fire: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Fire Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 plus 1 persistent plus 1 splash

◆ Interact to draw lesser alchemist's fire

Do either Dimitsi or Dethor care about a point of fire splash damage? I would like to hit Bad Horse, 4 and 5 with a bomb.

◆ Strike vs. Horse

Lesser Alchemist's Fire: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Fire Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 plus 1 persistent plus 1 splash

◆ Interact to draw lesser alchemist's fire

◆ Strike vs. Horse if it's up, 5 otherwise

Lesser Alchemist's Fire: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 - 5 = 4
Fire Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 plus 1 persistent plus 1 splash

Splash damage depends on whether any party members are willing to take the point, but Daraj's Bomber ability lets him splash either everyone within 5 feet or the original target only.

"Aye, lad, you see we've got wisdom as well as good looks. Ye still won't beat me, but it'll be a better match now."

Daraj will take a moment to eat literally anything that isn't pickled.

Daraj has two minor elixir of life as well, if anyone needs them. Other than that, he is content to stay above the surprisingly easy to breach gate and burn all who try to cross.

"That's two, Lokoloko!"

Daraj tries to pad his count.

Daraj rains down fiery doom on the zombies.

◆ Strike vs. 2

Lesser Alchemist's Fire: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Fire Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8 plus 1 persistent plus 1 splash

◆ Interact to draw a lesser alchemist's fire

◆ Strike (vs. 2 if up, 6 otherwise)

Lesser Alchemist's Fire: 1d20 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 5 = 11
Fire Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7 plus 1 persistent plus 1 splash

Did Daraj fall off the battlements? His token is really far from where I left him.

Unless I can get an 8-hour rest in this 10 minute break, I am stuck.

There's an easy target below. Enjoy, #3.

◆ Strike

Lesser Alchemist's Fire: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Fire Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4 plus 1 persistent plus 1 splash

Next two actions depends on the results of that attack.

When I attacked, there were four in an L-shape. Wanted to hit the middle of those.

Big boom it is, then.
