Dex, you not joining the party? I sent you a pm..? :-)

Crap, I totally missed that, darned blackberry. Thanks - I'll do it.

Hey, I will be there to I am playing in a couple of pathfinder games.

Night March of Kalkamedes at 8:00 am Fri
Seige of the Diamond City at 7:00 pm Fri

Maybe others, buts lots of games and events planned.

Hey guys I am back now after my long trip - I'd love to rejoin, let me know if that is still ok or if you'd rather leave things as they are.

Dex

Hey guys, very sorry that I have been MIA. Had some stuff go on that I won't get into, but again I am very sorry to have impacted gameplay. To make matters worse I will be going on an extended cruise and won't have internet service until like Aug 7. Totally understand if you want to drop me, its a huge gap. Would like to continue, but its not fair to ask you to go on with my absence. Again very sorry. If you do want to keep me around, even after the extended hiatus, that would be great, but no worries if not.

Dex bends over, almost in half, his chest heaving to take in air as he reels from the combination of hard work and smoke. Sweat seems to pour from his forehead and run down his face.

He rights himself and joins Theor. "What a mess, who would do such a thing?"

Dex continues to feverishly douse the flames as best he can working the well and buckets.

Dex tries to rally the group, if somewhat uncharacteristically, seemingly caught up in the moment, "I think we're keeping the flames at bay ... we cam bet this, press on!"

By reservoir I was thinking along the lines of a barrel to collect rainwater runoff from the roof or something like that, something that one might have in larger garden.

Dex runs to the well and tries to draw water from it in a bucket [assuming there is one] to begin fighting the flames closest to the house.

Hearing Horatius' question he responds, "I'm fine, we need to get to the fire, is there any source of water?"

Dex looks an things he might see a well directly south of him - he slings his bow over his back and races towards it.

Is that a well, and is there a bucket or other reservoir of water apparent in the garden?

No worries, didn't take any offense at. I hope people are 'auditing' my stuff, its how I learn and avoid mistakes. I am never one to claim to be a rulesmonger, so I appreciate the input.

Yep - you guys are right, for some reason I had the LS in my head. Oh well, the incremental didn't add much anyway. Scratch the crit scratch.

Seeing the hunter advancing on him and narrowly missing his attack, Dex moves back 25 feet and lets off another arrow at him.

Attack w. CLB: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

His nerves now finding their place, he calms himself and follows through with a solid shot that now protrudes through the hunters chest and out his back.

Just out of curiosity - where is everyone from? I live in Evansville, Indiana, originally from Vancouver.

Dex heeds Darius' instruction and shimmies past him as he moves towards him. As he does he draws another arrow and stops abruptly, his head tils slightly as he stares down the shaft of his arrow. For him time almost seems to stop, he hears his heartbeat echoing in his ears, keeping time like a drum beat in slow motion. He lets go of the arrow and time seems to speed up for him again as he raises his head to track its trajectory towards its mark.

Attack w. C.Bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 Should be no cover now
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

help me understand why he has cover - doesn't my Precise Shot address the Darius/Hunter in melee penalty - is Darius providing partial cover? If so next time I'll move to get a more direct shot.

Dex partners with Darius, seeing his first bid to stop the hunter by him fail. He quickly pulls another arrow from his back in a swift, seamless motion and pulls back heavily on his bow, pausing for just a fraction of a second before releasing.

Attack w. Composite Bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Ok, I'm on the road for a family trip til late tonight and didn't want to hhold things up. Wil do going forward.

For when it is my turn in initiative order ...

Seeing the impending/unfolding conflict Dex raises his bow and draws an arrow, readying his shot for the thug in the middle of the garden.

"We've got to stop them, they're trying to torch the place - try and leave one for questioning."

The familiar feel of the bristled feathers in the fletching of the arrow immediately calm Dex, instinctively his heart rate begins to slow, his breathing becomes measured, in time with his shot. He casually twists the nook between his fingers as he times his shot.

Attack w. Composite Longbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

But the mix of fire and darkness and the commotion are too distracting.

Very nice work on the map, great effort! Thanks.

Dex follows behind Theor and Horatius through the hedge and backs himself up against the far edge of the garden, trying to position himself for a reaction to any threat that might emerge. He lets Horatius take the lead with the dialogue and remains silent. He stealthily draws his bow and readies himself to take a shot if necessary.

He tries to blend into the shadows to the extent possible. Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Ready, sorry for the delay, been getting slammed at work - will post more detailed later today.

That will work for me - I'll spend 10 gp on 20 arrow, and will make a point to try and recover them. I'll keep my other arrows and will only use the silver ones in a pinch.

Dex will buy some silver tipped arrows at the market, otherwise he is ready to go. In the UEG it says that you add 2gp for alchemal silver per item - is that 2gp on top of the 20 arrows cost in total or 2gp added to each arrow? Thanks for the offer Bayani, but I should be good for the GP either way

"Lycanthrope activity eh?" Dex asks rhetorically, and looks around the room at his fellow Pathfinders, "We'll be needing silver weapons if we want a chance at those things. VC Brackett - do we have time before we set off to provision for supplies?"

Darn, sorry I am late into this and I get Ninja'd by the GM.

From the discussion - some background on Dex: Dex is a somewhat surly, speaks his mind kind of character. He is clearly not the face of any party, preferring more clandestine paths to getting what he wants. He's no Robin Hood, he's clearly out for personal gain, but if he sees things woefully out of balance he's likely to step in and assist, even if it isn't apparent that there is anything in it for him.

He's dressed in dark, almost black leather, with dark blue, almost midnight colored shirt, cloak and pants. He tends to find a place in the shadows and likes to observe what's going on before calculating his next move. He is very comfortable with his rapier but prefers the timing and accuracy that his bow affords him.

Dex enters the room just before the VC enters ...

He rushes in, conscious that he is pushing the limits of tardiness, and purses his lips in slight apology as he scans the room, nodding to each as he meets their eyes. His eyes widen as he spots Kumari, "Ahh, a pleasure to see you again, what fortune to be working together on another assignment.

He looks about the room and breifly states, "I'm Dex, specialist in stealth, the clandestine arts and archery, good to meet you all."

... and then the VC walks in ...

Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Hey, thanks for the invite, looking forward to the adventure!

Still very interested if there is a spot.

Dex Hannover - a level 1 Urban Ranger archer specialization for your consideration.

I post regularly and am ready for a fast paced adventure!

# 53181-4

Let me know if you have space - I am interested. Dex is an urban ranger archer specialist.

Room for a lvl 1 Urban Ranger Archer?

It was a great session - thanks very much for your efforts in GMing this. If you are going to do another sometime I'd love the opportunity to participate.

Thanks!

My attack includes the benefit from Point Blank shot already, but thanks for looking out for me!

Thanks Kumari - forgot that, despite your earlier reminder, my last attack should have been at +1 for 15. Thanks.

"Enough you unholy beast! Leave our divine defender alone!"

He does his best to aim straight and true to put an end to this horror.

Attack w. Long Bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Arovandeon grabs the last extract from his belt and drinks it.

Tasteless, the concoction numbed his tongue and throat as it went down. His visioned blurred, and the devourer seemed to move ten different directions at once, but the prescient reflections quickly began to coalesce and soon only one or two possibilities would remain. He readied his crossbow and waited for the right moment.

Extract of True Strike

@Arovandeon

By the way, I just wanted to mention that I have really enjoyed your creative, detailed and varied descriptions of your swigging different things, very nicely done. It has been a pleasure to read.

Day Job: Chef Day Job: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

# 53181-4

Faction mission success. The letter from Fuln.

Once again Dex tries to pierce the rotten creatures eye socket.

Attack 1. Long Bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

But his arrow flies wide and he just barely grazes its ear.

Forgive my ignorance, but how do you get re-rolls?

Round 1 - HP 8/11

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Dex's reflexes I made a rhyme quickly save him from the work of the effects of the fire.

Dex then sits back and idly watches as Mella cuts the thing in half. Just kidding. Nice work!

Dex pulls himself together quickly enough to let off a shot at the creature. "Foul beast, you should've known not to mess with the Pathfinders!"

Attack w. Long Bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

"It seems like the thing to do. Should we try to determine whether there is any evil or magical behind the door?"

Dex prepares himself for anything.

Whoa, sleep for a few hours and things are on fast forward!

"Where is this thing, this is getting creepy, I almost feel like we are bait in a trap. Keep an eye out."

Dex has his bow drawn and scans the room and entrance for threats.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

"You guys find anything interesting ... what next?"

Unimpressed with his first short, Dex is determined to do better this time. He sees Mella's revenge acted out upon the hand that assaulted her and he quickly pivots in place while his arrow ids tightly drawn. This time he aims for the hand after Arovandeon.

Attack w. Long bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

This time the arrow feels more sure in his hand, the tension more controlled. His eyes narrow in satisfaction. 'Got you you little bugger'

Seeing Mella struggle, Dex lets off an arrow at the hand that is strangling her, hoping to sever a tendon or break a bone and render the thing useless.

Attak. W Long Bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Des, reverting back to the comfort of his bow also stands ready to fire off an arrow at any approaching threats.

Assume that there is no point to searching the rooms for anything, if so, let me know and I'll roll perception.

Dex scans the area for threats

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Whoa - the action really picked up Sunday, I'm on it. Sorry if I delayed.

Dex holds the piece of statue in his right hand and gently smacks the end of it in the palm of hi left hand as he listens to the discussion and watches as Arovandeon sets his trap.

"Nice work, lets see if we catch something. So either we all move on and this thing ignores us or doesn't and we use the trap, or we try to goad it into attacking us and falling into it, which should it be?"

Dex peers over at the supposedly magical statue from where he stands.

"Careful, that thing doesn't look like it plays nice."

He looks around the room for something that he could use as an improvised bludgeoning device, perhaps a piece of another statue.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

"My guess is arrows aren't going to be very effective against stone if it comes to that."

Ideally, Dex will find and use something as club, taking the -4 improvised weapon penalty, and will put away his bow and arrow.

Dex smiles slightly and delivers a gentle bow. "You kept it occupied just long enough to allow me a shot." and winks at her.

He then examines the body and the room for anything o interest.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

As he does he trips over his own foot, and stumbles, righting himself quickly. He notices nothing.

Dex takes aim and lets off an arrow at creature.

Attack w. Long Bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Dex follows along, bringing up the rear. He has his bow drawn and an arrow at the ready. He keeps an eye out for impending trouble.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
