Elska, Mammut Princess's page

I'd be happy to play another. I really enjoy this group. I've been feeling overloaded lately, but Bo's other game just finished, and I have another winding down soon. I also have characters of every level. I might want to wait on playing Elska until more Tien Xia scenarios are released. I don't think she has adventured anywhere else. :)

"...and some strange symbol on the floor that seemed to spook Nuk something fierce. He relived himself all over it."

I haven't played that one.

"Let's just bring them all back with us, Kelson. I'm sure Amara Li and the Goka authorities can work things out."

"I'm just glad you are feeling better, Miyako," Elska stammers awkwardly. "Of course Nuk can carry them, can't you little one?" She gently strokes Nuk's ear.

"Good idea, Kelson!" Elska thoroughly searches the room with the bard.
Perception, take 20: 20 + 14 = 34

"At least she's light." Elska hoists Miyako up, ever so gently, onto Nuk's back.

Lesser restoration takes 3 rounds to cast...

"I'm good, Kelson. Thanks!" Elska flashes a rare smile at her friend. "How's Miyako?"

Slightly singed, Elska steps down onto the stairs and attacks the man.

longspear attack + IC + higher ground: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 19
longspear damage + IC: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13

"We've got another one over here, Bo!" Elska warns.

"En Erastil er á hlið okkar!" she adds in Hallit.

AoO, longspear, flanking, IC, higher ground: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 18 My virtual d20 is on fire! :eyeroll:
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Elska stabs at the rat-woman with her darkwood longspear. "Erastil curse you!"

She then steps back and attacks again with her spear.

attack, longspear, IC, higher ground: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. :)

@ Chaosorbit: How is the ratfolk hiding? Didn't he just attack?

Oops, I don't think it was clear. I am attacking the one that Mido also attacked. I am using my longspear, so Mido benefits from flanking with me. (Mido wasn't there when I attacked, so I didn't get flanking.)

"Ack! Miyako!" Elska shouts, distraught at the pain suffered by her friend.

She runs up onto the platform (path marked in red) and attacks the ratfolk, focusing her thoughts on the strength of a bull.

attack, animal focus (bull), higher ground, inspire courage: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 16
damage, animal focus, inspire courage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10

She then shouts to her mammut, "Nuk, árás!"
Handle Animal: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Move action: movement.
Swift action: animal focus.
Standard action: attack.
Free action: handle animal.

"In Hallit we would say 'Oh ríða!' It just sounds better in Taldane."

Elska speaks the command word for Nuk's collar, causing him to grow to large proportions.

She then moves forward, drawing her darkwood longspear to support Bo and Miyako.

"Oh! F*!!!"

Elska saunters over and casually leans on Beauregard. She whispers to him in Hallit, "Ekki líta, en það er annar einn af þeim felum undir stiganum."

She then says, louder, "See? I told you we might profit from this."

"What is it, Nuk? What do you smell, boy?" Elska examines the pages that seem to have drawn her mammut's interest.

Also...
Appraise: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 Nope.

We will search the bedroom thoroughly before we go also.

Perception, take 20: 20 + 14 = 34

Knowledge (nature), bars of metal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

"Thank you, Miyako. I'm not sure how deep these tunnels go, but might as well drink these now." Elska swallows the antiplague with a grimmace. "I hate this stuff. It's the worst." She then takes a waterskin off of Nuk's pack, swishes some water in her mouth and spits it out into the pit trap. After a few more gulps of water, she returns the waterskin to the saddlebag.

Spellcraft, flask: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
"Guys, this is a flask of reconcoction." I have no idea what that is.

Perception, potion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Elska tastes the potion, and shrugs, before tasting the second potion.

Perception, another potion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
"Ah, this one is a potion of remove disease"

Who else needs a cloak of protection +1? I don't have one, but I have pretty good saves already. Giltman? Bo? Miyako?

I will grab an alchemist fire. There are five antiplagues, and six of us. Does anyone already have one? If no one does, then I will let everyone else have one, and I will go without. (I have the highest Fort save.) But, in that case, I might feel better about taking the cloak of protection.

Oops, I forgot. People are hurt.

Elska draws her wand of cure light wounds and tends to Miyako's injuries.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Close enough. :)

"You can get him, Bo! He's no match for you."

Stupid! You are coming on too strong. Play coy.

"I...uh...I mean, do I need to come give you a hand? Not that you need help...uh...never mind."

Focus, silly girl. Focus. Elska chides herself before taking careful aim and firing two more shots at the wayang.

attack 1, animal focus (tiger), inspired: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
damage 1, gravity bow, inspired: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 + 2 = 13

attack 2, animal focus (tiger), inspired: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18
damage 2, gravity bow, inspired: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 + 2 = 13

Hey, that might be enough. He is wee.

"Impressive, little one." Elska nods her approval at Master Mido's leap across the pit and deft punch.

Elska steps out and fires two arrows at the wayang.

attack 1, animal focus (tiger), inspired: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23
damage 1, gravity bow, inspired: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 + 2 = 14

attack 2, animal focus (tiger), inspired: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10
damage 2, gravity bow, inspired: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + 2 = 9

@ Bo: Isn't brawler's flurry a full-round action?

"Giltman, there is probably another way into the room. You can take Nuk with you if you want to look for one."

Elska then clicks her tongue at Nuk. "Verja Giltman."

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

"Erastil guide my arrows true!" Elska uses her prayer to calm her mind as she focuses on thoughts of the saber-toothed tigers of her homeland, before unleashing two shots from her bow at the large rat.

attack 1, animal focus (tiger): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
damage 1, gravity bow: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 = 11

attack 2, animal focus (tiger): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
damage 2, gravity bow: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

@ Everyone: please don't step over by me. I need that space to fire my bow from. ;)

"Miyako!" Elska moves across the opening of the room to take cover behind the next corner. As she does so, she draws her wand of gravity bow and casts the spell on her weapon.

"Wait for me. I'm coming too."

Elska turns to Nuk and tells him to stay. Handle Animal, take 10: 10 + 10 = 20
She then draws her bow and heads off down the hallway with Bo and Miyako.

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

"That is an unusual size for a rodent." Elska thinks aloud. "Is there any way around?"

"I don't know. I've never seen him like this. Something has him spooked."

"There, there, boy. It's ok. That's quite the mess you made." Elska tries to calm Nuk.

"Who's a good little mammut?" She hand-feeds him a couple of nuts from her pocket.

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

"Watch your step, Bo. Don't wanna slip on our way back out."

Hey guys, I'm really sorry that I got behind in this game. I had a rough week. I will be more on top of it from here on out. Thank you for understanding.

"Yes, Miyako, let's go that way. I don't want to have to fight anyone unless it's absolutely necessary." Elska smiles at her friend. "C'mon Nuk. I know it's scary down here, but we gotta keep moving."

Elska sighs. "I know where this is going..."

Elska whispers to her friend, "Bo, what do you make of this tengu? She's even crazier than those we met back in Nesting Swallow."

Elska stands lookout with Bo.

Perception, take 10: 10 + 14 = 24

Elska leans over and whispers a translation into Kelson's ear.

"Fine." Elska pouts.

She glances over at Bo to see if he was watching. Miyako's just showing off for him, she thinks to herself. She crosses her arms and starts walking away. "Come on, Nuk, let's go."

Thanks, Miyako! I'm pretty happy about that. :D

"This is stupid" Elska assesses. "None of us are going to be able to pull this off. Little Nuk here is more convincing!"

I'm not even going to bother to try the disguise kit. :/

Does anyone have any other ideas?

@Chaosorbit to the Bahamas I'll have to bring for the WiFi for a few days to post. Its my first time.

Sweet! Have fun. :D

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 hmm...

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 Whew! She understood what was going on—assuming I can get a +2 circumstance bonus for knowing Kelson and Miyako well.

"What? Oh, yeah, these are pretty valuable. Maybe we should consider something else." Elska closes the lid to the chest and begins hoisting it back up onto Nuk's pack saddle.

Bluff, aid: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17

"You are in luck. We might have something to offer you." Elska unstraps the chest from Nuk's saddle, lowers it to the floor, and opens the lid. "We might be willing to part with one of these for the information we seek. Do you see anything that piques your interest?"

I wonder how much it will take to bribe this guy.

"What is the going rate for information such as this?"

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

I'm back home, gang, and should be able to get back to normal. Sorry for the slow week. Cheers!

No worries here! I've been super busy recently, so the lull was nice. :)

"Yes. Relax Bo. There will plenty of opportunity down here to bust knuckles later, I'm sure." Elska places her hand softly on Bo's shoulder.

The direct approach. I like it.

No worries. We can RP among ourselves. :)

"Amara, is this mission time-sensitive?" Elska pets Nuk's side absentmindedly.

I'm also ready when everyone else is. I have run out of questions. :)
