Dream Root's page

Dream Root jogs past Liwanag, eyeing Sadilim as she goes. "Let them break upon us!" she shouts. thumping her chest.

Stride, Ready to bite first foe that comes into range.
Readied Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 151d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Dream Root offers any and all information she has collected pertaining to a map and knowledge of the surrounding areas. "What resources do we have for defending the area? Do we have time to muster them to their fullest?"

I think if time is of the essence, putting what we have towards preparing the town seems to be the wisest choice if we don't need to rest! Dream Root doesn't have abilities that need to be recharged though, so speak up if your character needs a little R&R!

Dream Root nods along with Cheerful's summary before adding, "And a humble plea to focus your efforts on evacuating the area wholesale instead of fighting these nightmares."

Warfare: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Been a week, sorry!

Who could command heavy cavalry out here?" Dream Root ponders.

Society: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Dream Root bleeds from multiple wounds as she lays on the ground, her breathing ragged and sputtering.

Recovery Check, DC 12: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Maybe it is just a trick of the light, but did the blood start moving faster out of her?

Dream Root howls as the arrow sinks deeply between her ribs. She carefully steps closer to the nearest skeleton, bracing the arrow before snapping it, and tries to take hold of it again. The blood on her hands, however, causes any grip she might have had to fail. Desperately, she lashes our with her jaws and hopes to snap... something.

Athletics (Grapple) vs A: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Bite (MAP) vs A: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 5 = 161d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Step, Grapple, Bite

With Linwanag taking the heat from the first skeleton, Dream Root, rolls underneath Sinag and dives at it. She cackles as she tries to take control of the monster and get her mouth around its skull.

Athletics (Grapple) vs A: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Bite (MAP) vs A (Off-Guard?): 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 5 = 161d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Sneak Attack if A is Grappled: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Stride, Grapple, Bite

"Come Liwanag, let's get a better view," Dream Root whispers. Prowling around the river bank, she presses up against the trees and waits for... something... to come up the path.

Stride, Stride, Take Cover

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Dream Root gasps and clutches her chest with a thick hand, knees weak. Releasing her exhale with a deep groan, she steadies herself by widening her stance. "We shouldn't linger, it feels wrong to be in such a place of pain."

With a touch of desperation, she fumbles into her pockets for the map and tries to determine how best to leave in the direction that takes them closer to their goal.

Is there a limit to treating wounds? Is that a skill worth having on everyone? Can it heal all damage types?

Fortitude, DC 20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

No pressure Liwanag!

Dream Root drags herself out of the water and drops down to the ground with a thud. She doesn't seem to notice or care about the rocks biting into her fur or the dirt smudging her clothes. "Anyone any good at making the hurt stop?" Dream Root wishes, Fanzofarmenod! :)

Her chest swells and recedes before she gets up again and searches the corpses. She gently folds Claudiette's map after everyone has had a chance to look at it and stores it safely in a pocket. Looking the Owlbear over, she does her best to close the beast's eyes before expertly severing a claw at the first knuckle off of the left paw and stows that away too. "Sometimes we wish to hold them one more time," she whispers almost imperceptibly. "Claudiette will now get to choose." If there is like a collar or a tag or something on the former animal companion, Dream Root will snag that for Claudiette too!

*****

Setting her mind to the trails, Dream Root tries to determine how the local game likes to travel through the area.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

With the Owlbear is distracted with the Liwanag and Cheerful, Dreem Root trudges through the water, plucking a piece of rotted flesh from between her teeth.

She tries to take a savage bite out the Owlbear's right thigh before ducking under the water and shoving away from the beast, the river's flow assisting her escape

Bite (Sneak Attack) vs Owlbear (Flanked!): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 141d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (2) = 12

Stride, Attack, Stride! As always, Nimble Dodge on the first attack coming her way. If the Owlbear was restrained, I think it needs to break that condition before it can attack, right? For my actions this round, I'm assuming it isn't grappled/restrained anymore.

What are some ideas for my third action?

A third attack, while fun, is facing a -10. Not exactly super useful XD My two thoughts are some tactical positioning and intimidate. At least in my mind, right now Dream Root wouldn't want to move closer to the remaining Shambler if the one she is fighting falls to her since that gives the Shambler the benefit of not having to spend an action to move. And I imagine I can't make a zombie scared!

I think I lost a round of actions in the shuffle, but for the sake of pressing on, I think we just keep it rolling! If Zombie B is already down, she will Stride to D to Grapple and Bite.

Dream Root cackles with approval as Zombies fall and her allies start to swarm the beach. "Almost there Liwanag, hold the line!" she roars as she tackles another Zombie and tries to rip it apart.

Athletics (Grapple) vs B: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Bite (MAP) vs C: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 5 = 131d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Sneak Attack if Grapple Succeeded and Bite Hits?: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Bite (MAP, MAP) vs C: 1d20 + 7 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 7 - 10 = 01d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 XD
Sneak Attack if Grapple Succeeded and Second Bite Hits?: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Dream Root groans as the fetid flesh falls from her mouth. Usually this tastes better... Her ear twitches as she senses Faerinaa move in and hunker down nearby. With the zombie right in front of her, she tires to pin its rotting arms to its body before taking another bite.

Regardless of the results, she scampers back on all fours before rising back to her full height near the Elf.

Athletics (Grapple) vs C: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Bite (MAP) vs C: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 7 - 5 = 151d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Sneak Attack if Grapple Succeeded and Bite Hits?: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Grapple, Bite, Stride! I think I did all that right. If it takes an action to release a grapple, she will instead try to attack again. Dream Root will use Nimble Dodge on the first attack that comes her way.

"Let them come to us!" Dream Root suggests as she follows the river bank to close the gap with the group of humanoid creatures. With a large boulder between her and the river, she begins to exercise her jaw a bit, loosening the muscles powering them.

Move 25ft, Ready to Bite the first foe that comes within range. I'm very new to PF2 combat, so please provide any suggestions/point out any gaffs I'm sure to make! Dream Root ideally is grappling to set up others and dealing melee damage, hopefully with sneak attack.

Readied Bite vs ???: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 231d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Dream Root shrugs as Faerinna pays up for the group, her silhouette shrinking a bit as she lets her breath fully escape and her muscles relax. "Less fun, but if they honor their end, then so shall I," she promises, lopes across the bridge on all fours. Fear is a tool like any other, just not one I'll allow others to sharpen or test on me!

***

"Stay warry, fog makes dangerous times for the foolish and lucrative opportunities for the ambitious." She looks around for any signs of danger while the others focus on signs of Claudiette's path.

How does the map align with Claudiette's notes? Any obvious discrepancies? I don't have either skill, so if we can aid untrained, that's what Dream Root will be doing! Is that just a d20 roll? I've included one just for expediency's sake.

Aid?: 1d20 ⇒ 16

"I think not. You helped a packmate of ours, Claudiette. For that, I will give you the chance to more away as we cross. Staying as you are is to choose to swim," Dream Root says, punctuating her threat with a haunting cackle and cracking knuckles.

Intimidate?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Dream Root gives Liwanag a smile, her teeth obviously well-suited to crushing bones and rending flesh. "A reliable packmate is always for the better, good to see you too Liwanag." She grasps him fondly by the shoulder as her eyes search for Sinag. She barely manages to keep a little drool from escaping her lips as she sizes the horse up. That one is already claimed, focus!

Releasing Liwanag, she scoops up the saddlebags and carefully tosses them over her shoulder. The leather softly slaps against the hide guarding her torso. "I've no further questions. Time is not on our side," she declares before standing near the door. Despite her fidgeting, she waits patiently for any other questions and conversations to happen before leaving.

Liwanag and I have! :)

Sounds good mate, thanks for letting me know!

Liwanag, how do you want to handle any RP between our characters? I rebuilt Dream Root to try out a different vision, but we technically have history together!

A Kholo woman stands at the back of the group, her arms crossed, as VC Zongnoss delivers her briefing. Although she remains in place, her broad body is constantly in motion. Rolling thick shoulders, cracking coarse finger knuckles, shifting from one sturdy leg to the other, but her bright eyes never flicker from her leader.

"What are in the supplies and how are we moving them? Is our delivery being expected?" she asks while Fanzofarmenod inspects the notes. Closing the space between them, she peers down at the papers, looming over the other butterfly and star splattered Gnome.

"Together we are strong. We will keep them safe from 'toughs,' the undead, and whatever else decides to test our might." This knight sounds like an honor-riddled fool. A gold piece says he loses sleep at night over not having skewered Tar-Baphon himself already.

*takes the boarding pass and runs*

Thanks GM! <3

And I'll just drop out and wait for GameDay to wrap up before playing another game. Thank you for your patience and willingness to delay for our sake!

If possible, please remove me from this game too. Best of luck y'all :)

Just kidding, the GM like literally 3 minutes ago posted that the game is wrapped up and we will get our chronicles soon.

Cleaning up the profile for this character to be a rogue and posting in gameplay!

With Red finally falling, Dream Root turns his attention to the remaining skeleton in Blue, per Aalpo'ol's instructions.

Hunt Prey ◆ then Hunted Shot ◆◆
Hunted Shot w/ Shortbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d8 ⇒ 7
Hunted Shot w/ Shortbow (MAP): 1d20 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 5 = 151d8 ⇒ 5 If both hit, damage is combined before any reductions
Precision Damage on First Successful Hit?: 1d8 ⇒ 2

I don't, but I will drop from that game if I have to. I'm still feeling out PF2 and would rather just have the one character!

"I hear you Aalpo'ol!" Dream Root says through gritted teeth as he keeps launching arrow after arrow after the skeleton.

Hunted Shot ◆◆ then a Strike ◆
Hunted Shot w/ Shortbow vs Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d8 ⇒ 4
Hunted Shot w/ Shortbow (MAP) vs Red: 1d20 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 5 = 131d8 ⇒ 4 If both hit, damage is combined before any reductions
Precision Damage on First Successful Hit?: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Strike w/ Shortbow vs Red: 1d20 + 5 - 10 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 10 = 71d8 ⇒ 8

Right now an archer ranger, but will be rebuilding into a ruffian rogue once my current scenario is done! We're in the final bit now, so the profile should be ready soon.

With gravity doing what it does best, Dream Root releases the statue and draws his bow. With Jack having marked the red-garbed skeleton, he does his best to focus fire. "Thin the herd, then take the leader!"

Hunt Prey ◆ then Hunted Shot ◆◆
Hunted Shot w/ Shortbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d8 ⇒ 2
Hunted Shot w/ Shortbow (MAP): 1d20 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 5 = 161d8 ⇒ 5 If both hit, damage is combined before any reductions
Precision Damage on First Hit?: 1d8 ⇒ 7

5 Bulk to spare! :D Let's carry it down the stairs, load it into the cart, and get on going!

Tanning Lore +3 over here, woo!

On the trip back from this little pit of hell, he manages to find some animals that are just far enough gone that the coloring is unique, but the integrity of the skin is still salvageable. A clear gamble, he does what he can to flesh the hides before rolling them up and tossing them into the cart. Once back at the Lodge, he is able to finish the job of tanning the hides before selling them off for a tidy sum.

Dream Root is ready to offer his shoulder towards carrying the statue safely.

14 Str! Do we need to make the check to know we need to bring it back? Otherwise idk why we need this statue? Picking it up certainly wouldn't be my first choice XD

How do I do my downtime? Clearly a roll is involved...

Downtime Roll?: 1d20 ⇒ 15

...but what is the skill and DC?

Dream Root quietly steps in after Blackfeather Jack. Unsure what to expect, he keeps a hand on his bow while he sniffs around.

Some irl stuff just came up, I'm not gonna be able to get to posting here today, sorry! Bot if needed!

Dream Root does his best to carefully scale the depression to retrieve the sword. "Good eye Larraz! Anything else we should do around here? We don't have too long before it becomes entirely too unsafe to be here, but there is time yet!"

"Desert Wind is great at pulling carts and we found a corpse that might be one of your teammates... Sorry to break the news to you if it is," Dream Root shares, before gesturing to the direction of the cart and giving the man some space. So far he is the sole survivor, never know how people respond to that sort of thing.

I think all the checks have been made now!

Dream Root hustles after the sounds of terrified screaming and Jack singing. "Unless you wish to stay, we'd be happy to escort you home. You're one of the people we've been sent to recover! Not everyone else is as... alive. What can you tell us about this place or any other Pathfinders that were in the area?" he asks, offering the man his water skin.

Ever interested in corpses first, Dream Root carefully approaches the body. "Looks like this one went down fighting," he concludes, feeling the deep claw marks in the body. "Even against what seems to have been a superiorly armed foe."

Perception is all I can pretend Dream Root is good at, so here we go!

Perception to Seek, DC 15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Spending the next 10 minutes looking around, he seems to keep returning to the site of the death, absorbing what he can to further his understanding of what happened.

^^^Seconded!

Dream Root will search for traps as well as he can and then open each door for the team.

GM, re. your post in Gameplay, I was just trying to do something to contribute. Didn't have any of the other skills to be able to roll. Figured at least for some RP he might be able to corroborate Seebonickk! :)

Dream Root sniffs around, looking for any other clues as to what happened here. "What a dark end for this one, I've never appreciated more that I come from relatively safe lands that after what we've seen here together..."

Perception (Imprecise Scent?), DC 15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Onward it is then," Dream Root agrees. "Any of us who can should probably scout ahead, now that we have a cart in tow, we don't want to be caught out like we were before by a horde of undead."

Is this a time for the scout exploration action? I'm unclear how this specific set of rules works, if it is!

"I'm most impressed, you'll have to teach me that when we return to the lands of fully-fleshed creatures," Dream Root admires. Unsure of where to head to next, he walks down the street to another building.

Building 5! Idk which buildings need some Pathfinder attention at this point, but I think it makes sense to give this area another round of checks or two.

I don't know what protocol is for that sort of thing, but it has been 6 days. Idk if that's a lot or a little bit of time since their last post, but that's what it is.

Dream Root rests a hand on one of the spaces formerly shelter from moisture and sun by tools of war. Hope they made it…

Spying the cart in disrepair, he can’t help but to tinker with it for a moment. Or ten. He tries fitting the axel back together and securing it, but hunting for his pack has quite equipped him with the skills to properly get it done.

As he wanders over to another location, he lets anyone he passes know that there’s a broken cart that could be fixed.
Craft, DC 15: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Posting from my phone is much harder than I thought! Can’t even get the slides open lol. Dream Root will go wherever someone isn’t!

Examining was my intent, so that's my next 10 minutes!

Dream Root pokes, prods, smells, just about everything but licks the dead horse. He is decidedly too distracted to give the corpses his proper attention. With a sigh, he scampers off to the nearest building. #3 is next for me, unless you want to do this differently than us just announcing what we'd like to do next?

Medicine, DC 13: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Yeesh, and what a 10 minutes that must have been XD

Consciously calming his breathing, Dream Root wipes a budding pool of drool from the corner of his mouth. Been too long since I've had good horse... Now's not the time though, let's see what the dead have left for us.

With everyone doing their best to build trust with the living horse, he investigates the undead.

I forgot deadly! Thanks for including it for me. When we've established what the AC of a foe is, are you ok with me adding deadly damage to my rolls (assuming I remember)?

Air filled with crows and gore, Dream Root holds the fletching of his next arrow to the base of his jaw as he tries to track his next target. A second arrow gently sits between his ring and middle fingers. As the red clothed zombie's fist collides with Wyrmbarrel's... barrel... he quickly sends the pair. The first sinks into an eye with a wet thud, while the other whistles past a fetid ear.

Hunt Prey ◆ then Hunted Shot ◆◆
Hunted Shot w/ Shortbow (Bless): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 251d8 ⇒ 4
Hunted Shot w/ Shortbow (MAP, Bless): 1d20 + 5 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 5 + 1 = 101d8 ⇒ 6 If both hit, damage is combined before any reductions
Precision Damage on First Hit?: 1d8 ⇒ 7
