2. A vote on whether I use GM Ubi's event, my event, or ask leadership.

I don't really have much of an opinion, go ahead and put it under yourself for helping us out.

Thanks!

Sounds wonderful, my 4 and 6 year olds are running around crazy as if they didn’t spend the whole afternoon sledding.

So I’m just living the dream.

Darius try’s to snatch some papers from the air.

Reflex DC12: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Somehow this wasn't updating on my main screen

Dorian smiles, "Indeed, they are just some silly books that look a lot fancier than they really are. Gold inlay is actually brass, between you and me."

Deception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Darius looks down at the boy and listens to the story, chiming in, "Oh, I've heard this one, its very good. Be sure to listen hard, so you hear it all."

Darius nods, "It seems workable."

I have a +7 in Deception

Darius smiles and adds, ”Farewell, and safe journeys. Glad we could help.”

Sinking like a stone after trying to swim to the creature, Darius misses its demise in his struggles to return to the raft.

Swim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

"Ok, well done crew." he coughs as he manages to regain his hold on the raft.

Oh, dang, I should have checked the map better. I could have moved a little further on the raft and still intimidated the thing.

If there's no weakness, then I can use:

Personal Antithesis You improvise a custom weakness on a creature by forcefully presenting and empowering a piece of esoterica that repels it on an individual level; for instance, against a tyrant, you might procure a broken chain that once held a captive. This causes the target creature, and only the target creature, to gain a weakness against your unarmed and weapon Strikes equal to 2 + half your level.

So, attacks get a +2 and act as magical

Swim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Trying to let go of the raft and swim in his armor, Darius immediately flounders.

Do I get more swim checks with my other actions, or is it a once per round thing

Darius looks over at the reefclaw and tries to remember if it has any weaknesses or any other interesting bits or habits, while drawing his dagger.

Esoteric Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Vs standard DC for the reefclaw's level
Exploit Vulnerability

Not sure if Intimidating Glare works, but if it does

Demoralize: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Have fun!
\

Can I see the thing well enough to do an Esoteric Lore check for my Exploit Vulrnability action?

Darius keeps watch as the rest of the group struggles to get the raft through.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Happy new year!

Hey, I just saw that I missed I have theivery skills. Would aiding the forging help at all at this point?

"I think that was everyone, but its hard to recall." Darius answers, with a look towards Illnore.

"I'm afraid forging and crafting are two skills I am not adept at, but I'll help where I can."

I will be travelling a lot this weekend.

"Glad you are well. We need to get a move on, in case someone heard that ruckus." Darius adds, taking a look at the doorway and any windows.

Mostly they get annoyed that they can’t play outside at recess in the snow. Both are young enough they love school.

Sorry about the delay: first day of Christmas break and I spent too long in the sun battling weeds in our overgrown garden. Managed to give myself a minor case of sunstroke. Not recommended.

I hope you recover quickly, rest and ice water I'd assume.

I did have to chuckle though, since it was -10 F this morning, not counting wind chill, when I dropped the kids off at school. Supposed to be high winds all weekend and single digit temps, so its gonna get cold.

Thats fine, I guess I misunderstood the order. I’m sure I’ll need to change actions, though probably will still end up demoralizing

The Darius' swing their axe once again.

Attack, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage, S: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13

Missing, he tries again.

Attack, Flanking: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Damage, S: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8
With a flank I feel like that probably hits

Turning, the Thaumaturge glares at the remaining enemy and speaks, "Just give it up, no need for you to get hurt."

Demoralize: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Strike, Strike, Demoralize

Well he’s flanked now so does that help with potential sneak attacks? I actually don’t know sneak attack rules in 2e

Holding until I know if the thug is down or not.

Oh, geez, how do I play this character in a fight?

Fight joined, Darius strides forward holding his axe and mirror aloft, tilting the mirror in such a way and in a flash, there are two Darius'; one suddenly behind the enemy Dorian is threatening.

Both Darius' swing their axes.

Stride, Mirror's Reflection, Strike
With Mirror's reflextion, both me's count as .. me. Can provide flanking, can attack, can be attacked. Quantum Darius

Attack, Battleaxe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23Flanking
Damage, S, implement empowerment: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

Darius nods a goodbye as he leaves with the group.

I’m not trained in society or forgery so I’m of little help there.

Darius stands over Illnore's shoulder looking like the dutiful bodyguard, yet pushing out a friendly and affable aura, hoping to help put the man at ease.

Aid Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

I don’t think I have stealth, would a bluff as a distraction work?

Darius nods and walks with the group as casual as possible.

Darius nods, "You've got the lead then, seems you've got a better handle on the situation than I do."

Darius frowns at the fruitless search. When the group is gathered, "What now?"

Darius also adds his beaming smile to the charm thrown at the guard, "Yes, it would be very nice to be able to see them this morning, yes?"

Aid Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Darius frowns in thought, "I don't have a better plan. Its a difficult process any way I look at it."

Yeah, that sounds as good as any plan, I don't have a better suggestion. This mission takes more skull sweat than typical :)

Hope everything is ok.

Same

No problem on my end.

"Yes of course, you are all quite adept at what you do, but as my colleges have said, there are some particulars that would be just take too much time to iron out to a new person."

Darius adds.

+7 Diplomacy for an aid

Apologies, its been a busy week and tonight I frankly can't recall what we are supposed to be doing.

Tomorrow morning after I drop the kids off I'll re-read what's going on and post.

Darius nods his head and smiles, ”Ok then, that sounds like a plan. A rough plan but a plan non the less. Where to now?”

They surely are not!

Darius scratches his beard and looks to the group, ”A logistical challenge, surely.”

Yikes, that's no fun.

My parents have done a little international travel in the past few months and they said the airlines/airports were not a very fun experience at all right now. And coming from my dad who's travelled a ton for the past 40 years, that's saying something.

Hopefully it all goes smoothly for you!

Darius stares in dumbfounded silence for a moment. Of all the things he thought he'd run into right at this moment, a stone giant was pretty low on the list.

Thankfully Illnore stepped in with her smooth words while the thaumaturge was flabbergasted, and he lets her take the lead on the conversation while he immediately has to suppress a million and five questions he'd just love to ask a stone giant who wasn't trying to kill him.

"Er, yeah, lets move a bit and keep an eye out while we talk."

Travel safe!

”Ok, let’s head inside.” Darius rumbles, leading the kids inside and attempting to assist them in making a little fort with the tent supplies. Once they are engrossed in an activity we moves back towards the adults and mentions in a low voice, ”Its no fairy tale about the kids “stone man”, there’s something out there watching. Either shy, or trying to hide, since it didn’t want to be seen.”

Dont suppose a knowledge esoterica would help me figure what that was

Darius works his way into the room and while Illnore works on talking to the adults, grabs some of the more interesting (and kid friendly) bits and bobs he has on him, and goes to play with the children with a friendly smile.

"You talk, I got this." he mutters as he goes.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Apologies for the delay, Paizo was down when I had a chance to post yesterday.

Darius glances at the papers and shrugs. At the comments about payment, he simply shrugs again, not his problem really.
