Dresden II's page

Thank you GM for a nice game. Hope to play with you again in the future.

I'll help plant some evidence since that probably doesn't require a skill check in something I'm not trained in or reading a language I don't know.

"We are not murder hobos but we do have a job to finish here. Let's wrap that up and get out of here before more trouble finds us."

I was expecting/hoping for some kind of surrender once the boss was down.

Pressing the attack (until he is at least unconscious).

It is posted here

Activate my animal focus and full attack the dwarf laying on the stairs.

"Careful someone doesn't push you off the second floor and make you "fly" all the way down. Your skills would be a valuable addition to help us fight this dwarf thing that is on the stairs over here. He/she/it, can't really tell, is more down to Earth Golarian."

Taking a swing and the prone dwarf and 5' stepping over to get a better flank when Murphy moves.

melee (longsword): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 damage (S): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Moved the three of us at the bottom of the map to make it a little clearer with the flank. Moved the dwarf 5' up the stairs so we can fit instead of moving us all to the other map.

Sorry traveling again.
We hold the stairs at the ready. At least we think we are holding them. The last guy we saw flying didn't really need stairs. I have to assume there was more to that hit because the AC target for the wolf is a bit higher AC25.

I'm trying to keep quiet during this, being less than ideal to interact diplomatically with others. Although I know the value of diplomacy, I'm just not good at it.

I move to guard next to the door.

It is kind of crowded in here, so I move up behind Taman and cast a healing spell on him.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

I think that should get you to full.

"Let me see if Murphy can sniff anything out in there."

Murphy using Scent so any opponent within 30' should be discovered.

Dresden doesn't need the communal fire resist as he has a natural resist of 5 and can add protection himself as needed. Murphy has the Protection from Energy (fire) up for 60 minutes (10 min/level).

While we're walking around investigating, I take a little time to use my cure light wounds wand on Murphy as I got healed up by Zaigan.

Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 (charges used 35/50)
Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 (charges used 36/50)
Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 (charges used 37/50)
Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 (charges used 38/50)
Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 (charges used 39/50)
Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 (charges used 40/50)
Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 (charges used 41/50)
Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 (charges used 42/50)

AoO

Casting Protection from Energy (fire, 72hp) on Murphy.

Back from break and hope everyone had a good holiday season. Catching up now.

The next two weeks are generally going to be filled with holiday/vacation plans for a lot of folks. I'll try to keep up with the posts, but also having family over and generally enjoying the holiday break.

Hope everyone has some good holidays.

I move in while drawing my sword and position myself for an attack. Swift action activating my animal focus (bull). Getting in one swing.

Keeping my mouth shut as I lack the skills to interact with this one. But ready should a fight break out and really expecting a fight and for this not to go smoothly.

"Not that I'm good with the pretty words, but I try to do my part, but maybe we could try going in the front and see if the servants that answer the door would be "helpful" to our cause. As a team we are pretty persuasive."

Voting front door

"Well at least we tried the subtle approach, I guess now we might make a ruckus. Plus I wasn't looking forward to going up that hill all exposed and everything."

"The angle of the ground slope doesn't look like we will need any ropes, but we will be pretty exposed on that ascent. I wish we had more time and could approach after dark ... if there is a dark time in a plane of fire ... or is it always lit up by the fires?" Dresden seems lost in thought.

...how is Dresden talking with his animal companion? Hunters get that, but at a later level.

That is a trait called Beastkin which you can take at level 1.

Select one specific type of animal (such as wolves or apes). You were raised from infancy by an animal or pack of animals of that type. You learned their ways and have more in common with your beastly kin than members of any humanoid race. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Survival checks and can use speak with animals as a spell-like ability at will to communicate with the type of animal that raised you.

I can cast that once every 5 or 6 minutes as needed but it really is for comic relief. All of the other actual commands (like attack that or flank) are trained as the companion pet Tricks which Murphy knows and has a Handle Animal DC that I can't fail.

Looking at Taman still holding his sword in hand. "I don't think you'll be needing that for now."

Attempting to assist in the Diplomacy.

"Sorry for barging in here with swords at the ready but we were concerned when we heard the arguing and thought someone in distress. Perhaps you can assist us now that the lady is removed."

Diplomacy (assist): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19 yup.

Ditto, not a problem.

Also a Bluff/Intimidate of +0 but bribes I can do. I can pitch in on any negotiated bribes.

Looking at Murphy and he looks just fine.

I vote for diplomacy even though I have zero skill in that.

"I'm not sure what they are saying but they certainly look scared of you pointing your sword at them."

"Who voted for the Barbarian diplomacy tactic? Do we have someone more diplomatic than the sharp end of a sword?"

Using a wand and casting a spell of Endure Elements on my Wolf while we walk so he'll shut up.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

"I don't hear anything either, must be this heat messing with my head."

"Let me see if I got this straight. You want us to
1. Neutralize the guards
2. Find some records in a library
3. Find something called a gorget. What is a gorget by the way?
And Bonus. Don't destroy the estate.
And all this within four hours?"

Feeling as I am so ill-equipped to be here, I'm wondering why on Golarion the Venture Captain sent me, of all people, on this mission.

*sigh* When do we start?

Player: Scott Gustafson
Character: Dresden
Character Level at start: 6
Pathfinder Society Number: 126926-5
Faction: Sovereign Court
Slow Track or Normal: Normal
Day Job Roll: Profession (Butcher): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

@GM Sounds good to me.

@Natty have a enjoyable weekend celebration.

"Greetings Umberto and the rest of the team. I'm Dresden and this is my companion Murphy. Can't say as I've ever been to the plane of fire before so this should be interesting." Looking at my empty mug. "Uh, nice trick I have some oldlaw whiskey if we have a chance to relax and have a drink a little later."

Diplomacy (gather info): 1d20 ⇒ 5 Maybe it is hot, I'm not even sure about that.

copied from my intro
Dresden is a melee hunter that likes to get up close to his enemy with his companion wolf Murphy and trip the enemy. They will generally try to get flanking positions to take advantage of Outflank and Tandem Trip to get the enemy on the ground. When we are not in combat, we are almost always adjacent to one another so we can use Paired Opportunists.

Murphy is generally the one to rush into battle first and get the far flanking position then I would move up/charge for the flank. I try to resolve Murphy's attacks and actions before mine.

When you see me use spoiler'd text to talk to Murphy, feel free to read along. I will generally include lots of silly stuff using Murph as my comic relief.

Howdy.
@GM How would you like for me to run my pet? On the same initiative as me or separate?

Was it drain or damage? I can cast lesser restoration up to 4 times to clear damage if it helps.

boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Thanks for running the game.

We follow Kett to the great outdoors and proceed to find a bush that needs to be marked.

"And we have to pee so time to wrap up this place and get back outside."

I'm fine with the reroll list.

Detect Magic on ring and amulet, then spellcraft to try and figure out what they are.
Spellcraft (ring): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Spellcraft (amulet): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"These are magical, but not sure what they are."

Then a regular spellcraft to check the books.
Spellcraft (books): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Not really sure I'm helping, so will gather up the fragments and put the mirror back together so we're ready to go when all done in here.

"Kett now's your chance to earn your "Book-Drop" name. This room looks empty now, maybe we can figure out what section this is and see if there are any books we should collect in here."

I take out my wand of Cure Light Wounds and use it on myself and Murphy.

Self Wand CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8
Murphy Wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Charges used 32, 33, 34

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 takes 3 dmg.

Seeing a free space I can fit in, I move up to hit the remaining librarian. Swift action to switch my animal aspect back to bull.

melee (longsword): 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 17 damage (S): 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12

I cast a healing spell on Kett and move. Or he moved and I moved behind him and healed him. Either way same results.

CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
