Emdi Emmay's page

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 vs DC 25
Still Frightened 1.

Reflex: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 vs DC 25, 19 fire
Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 vs DC 23, frightful presence
-19 fire damage, frightened 2

Emdi will rally the troops. ◆ Dread Marshal Stance
Intimidation, Frightened 2: 1d20 + 18 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 18 - 2 = 25 vs DC 22

He moves up ◆ to cover Professor Whitegourd and Yakuthiel with his reaction, and then fires a shot at the zombie.

◆ Shortbow, Frightened 2: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 17 - 2 = 23 vs clumsy 2
Piercing, Dread Marshal: 2d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5) + 3 + 2 = 13

↺

My bad. Emdi will move up to Nagaikaze and slap him three times, then. I'll keep my rolls to be fair.

Unarmed: 6 + 17 = 23 vs Nagaikaze flat-footed
Nonlethal: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Unarmed, agile: 4 + 17 - 4 = 17 vs Nagaikaze flat-footed
Nonlethal: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Unarmed, agile: 17 + 17 - 8 = 26 vs Nagaikaze flat-footed
Nonlethal: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

If Emdi has a reaction, and he's allowed to use Retributive Strike on Nagaikaze, he will punch him. Professor Whitegourd gets resistance 10, and if he hits, Nagaikaze gets a DC 11 flat check to break confusion.

EDIT: Just realized this may run afoul of PvP rules. I'll spoiler the roll so it doesn't color how people feel about it. I'll abide by any ruling.

Emdi activates his Dread Marshal Stance ◆.
Intimidation: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24 vs DC 22

+2 to damage for allies within 15'. Nagaikaze does not count as an ally while confused.

Emdi will move forward ◆ to make sure everyone is covered by his aurae, and then fire at Purple ◆.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
Piercing, Dread Marshal: 2d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 + 2 = 11

↺

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 vs DC 25

Are we supposed to roll for Sense Motive? What's the DC? I'll spoiler my roll.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33 vs DC 25

Intimidation: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32 vs DC 25

"STOP!"

Emdi parkours over several obstacles to catch up.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19 vs DC 23

And ends up slamming his face first into a wall. Since that's not a CF, I'm not going to reroll.

Forgot to make my rolls.

Emdi menacingly threatens some interrogees. He's a big softy at heart, but he knows, theoretically, how to break someone's neck.

Intimidation 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33 vs DC 23
Intimidation 2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25 vs DC 23

Emdi can Lay on Hands and then Refocus by holding a mini-rave in honor of Shelyn. Professor, you want to Treat Wounds on Yakuthiel instead?

Lay on Hands (+24 hp)
Refocus

Moving Orange off the map.

With Orange down, Emdi Smites Yellow ◆, fires an arrow ◆, and then charges through the gap ◆.

Shortbow, Frightened 1: 1d20 + 17 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 17 - 1 = 22
Piercing, Smite: 2d6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 + 4 = 12

↺

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Failure -> Success due to Incapacitation

Emdi, deciding that they aren't being sufficiently punished, Smites Red before firing. +4 damage, but doesn't stack with Dread Marshal

Shortbow, Frightened 2: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 17 - 2 = 22
Piercing, Smite: 2d6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 + 4 = 12

Shortbow, Frightened 2, MAP: 1d20 + 17 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 17 - 2 - 5 = 22
Piercing, Smite: 2d6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 3 + 4 = 14

Edit: I forgot Frightened, so I'm reapplying it now. Emdi goes down to Frightened 1 at the end of his turn, so the reaction spoiler is Frightened 1.

↺

With everyone blocking the door, Emdi will rally the troops, and begin firing arrows.

◆ Enter Dread Marshal Stance.
Intimidation: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26 vs Easy Level-Based DC (22)

Success! Everyone gets +2 damage on Strikes!

◆ Shortbow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24 vs Red (prone)
Piercing, Dread Marshal: 2d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 + 2 = 13

↺

Emdi pleads with the spirits to stop. Pretty please.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26 vs DC 23

Then he raises his buckler.

↺ Retributive Strike: resist all 10, will skip the Strike.

Nature: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 vs DC 23

Assuming Nagaikaze or Yakuthiel are willing to let Emdi Follow the Expert ...

Athletics, Follow the Expert (Master): 1d20 + 3 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 8 + 2 = 22 vs DC 21

"Investigation underway!"

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 vs DC 21

"Nothing to report!"

Emdi will move into the room, and try to stay within 15' of the most vulnerable.

+2 damage from Dread Marshal for Strikes made by allies within 15' of Emdi!

"You're surrounded! Surrender!"

◆ Demoralize (Intimidation): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

"Or, don't. It's your choice, really. You can keep fighting if you want. You got this!"

◆ Shortbow, Nonlethal: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 17 - 2 = 30
Nonlethal, Dread Marshal: 2d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 3 + 2 = 10

Nonlethal, Dread Marshal: 2d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5, 6) + 3 + 2 = 16
Deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 7 plus immobilized (1-action plus Athletics to free)

↺

Emdi raises his shield and gets right in their grills. Everyone on the ground floor is covered by Emdi's reaction as well as Dread Marshal.

He fires at the most wounded.

Shortbow, Nonlethal: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 17 - 2 = 28
Nonlethal, Dread Marshal: 2d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4, 6) + 3 + 2 = 15

↺ Will prioritize Retributive Strike over Shield Block: Emdi will only Shield Block if he's being attacked by the last one to go in the round, and only if the hit would not break his buckler.

Shield Block (reinforcing buckler): Hardness 6, 50/50 hit points

Yakuthiel should get +2 damage bonus from Dread Marshal, and Yellow should be frightened 1 on a crit due to Dread Marshal.

If Orange is still up at the beginning of Emdi's turn, Emdi will Demoralize Orange, then Strike twice, switching to Yellow if Orange goes down.

If Orange is down at the beginning of Emdi's turn, Emdi will move to the west of Yellow and Strike twice.

If Yellow goes down, Emdi will Stride towards the remaining foes.

Demoralize (Intimidation): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

Shortbow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23 vs Orange (frightened?) or Yellow (frightened 1, immobilized)
Piercing, Dread Marshal: 2d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + 3 + 2 = 14

Shortbow, MAP: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 17 - 5 = 29 vs Orange (frightened?) or Yellow (frightened 1, immobilized)

↺

Emdi releases a Battle Cry as the fight begins.

◇ Demoralize (Intimidation): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20 vs Purple Will DC
Will assume that Fails.

He follows Yakuthiel into the fray ◆, activating his Dread Marshal stance ◆.

Intimidation: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35 vs Easy Level DC 22
Success: all allies within 15' get a damage bonus equal to damage dice (+2 with a striking rune), and enemies critically hit by an ally within 15' are frightened 1.

Emdi fires a shot at Purple ◆.

Shortbow, Nonlethal: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 17 - 2 = 25
Nonlethal, Dread Marshal: 2d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 + 2 = 9

↺

Proposal: Nagakaze and Jun-Mei can protect the ranged combatants at the main entrance, and Emdi and Yakuthiel can cut off their escape at the east. I'm moving Emdi to the southern box in anticipation of people being okay with it, but if not, feel free to move Emdi back to the main entrance. Emdi would prefer starting within 30' of a combatant because he gets a free Demoralize with Battle Cry.

It looks like someone is still moving the map around, so I'm going to hold off placement for now.

Emdi's reaction depends on having other people around, so Emdi will suggest we stick together, and if people split up, he'll pick whatever side more melee combatants are on.

Emdi looks at his stone-like skin. "Thank you!"

Emdi is very much on board with looking before leaping. He also does not weigh orders from assassins as highly as his Pathfinder Society training.

Nature (E, hireling): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Nature or Fishing Lore: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

"It's definitely not here."

I will not use a Hero Point, as I don't think the CF should hurt.

"What my friend means is that we are not only your superiors by way of rank, but also in the way of skills."

Intimidation: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24

"Alright, buddy, let's go."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

"I SAID LET'S GO! HUP!"

Intimidation: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

"Agreed."

Voting the short way.

"We're not here to start a business, we're here to audit yours. We'll need a copy of all your contracts and dossiers for each target."

Emdi will fire two arrows and then move closer.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
Piercing: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 4) + 3 = 13

Shortbow, MAP: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (10) + 17 - 5 = 22
Piercing: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 3 = 12

Torn between which allies to protect, Emdi tries to finish off Yellow.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31
Piercing: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 5) + 3 = 14

If that finishes Yellow, Emdi will Smite Orange ◆ before moving 5' East ◆ (leaving the flanking spot for Yakuthiel). Otherwise, Emdi will fire a second shot at Yellow ◆ and then move towards Orange ◆, 5' East if Yellow goes down with the second shot, 10' East if Yellow is still up.

Shortbow, MAP: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 17 - 5 = 19
Piercing: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 3) + 3 = 12

Moved Emdi's icon between two squares because I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. Sorry for the confusion.

"-never mind," Emdi continues, after a very awkward pause. "The women are Revenants - obsessed, undead stalkers who arise from their own murders and are driven by only one thing: revenge against their killers. they can be temporarily hampered by seeing themselves in a mirror. If only stopping my ex was that easy."

Emdi moves into the center. Retributive Strike should cover everyone except DranTilt.

He fires at Yellow.

Shortbow, Frightene 1: 1d20 + 17 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 17 - 1 = 29
Piercing: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 5) + 3 = 13

Shortbow, Frightene 1, MAP: 1d20 + 17 - 1 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 17 - 1 - 5 = 13
Piercing: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6) + 3 = 12

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 vs DC 23
Since that's not a critical failure, I'll just take the Failure.

(opens spoiler) LOL.

Emdi freezes with fear. "She sounds just like-"

◆ Recall Knowledge (ex-girlfriend), Occultism +0
◆ Recall Knowledge (Women), Religion +11
◆ Recall Knowledge (Shadow), Religion +11

PFS Lore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

"Most of these notes regarding the Red Mantis Dispatch refer in code to a stolen piece of useful information."

Emdi has not met Nigel before. My -2001 (now level 12) played 2-07, but we bricked every roll so hard that we failed to discover any deception in a scenario called The Blakros Deception.

"I'm Emdi," he announces. "Champion of Shelyn and thrower of raves. As a matter of fact, I think we held a rave at the Blakros Museum once ... or ... maybe ... that might have been, uh, 'after hours'."

Diplomacy (Expert): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

Emdi's an Expert, so if anyone wants to give firm handshakes like Emdi, they can Follow the Expert at +2+CHA+Level, which might be better than PFS Lore.

"If you weren't targeting Pathfinders specifically, what were your instructions?"

Emdi uses his fishing rod to reel the unconscious stevedores out of the water. He'll threaten to put a live fish inside their shirt unless they talk.

Emdi's reaction goes off on Red when he hits Yakuthiel.

Emdi warns Yellow. "Why don't you guys just surrender?"

Demoralize (Intimidation): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20 vs Will DC

Seeing as they're unlikely to do so, Emdi fires two shots at Yellow.

Shortbow, Nonlethal: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 17 - 2 = 35
Nonlethal: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 6) + 3 = 13

Shortbow, Nonlethal, MAP: 1d20 + 17 - 2 - 7 ⇒ (18) + 17 - 2 - 7 = 26
Nonlethal: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1) + 3 = 8

Immobilized on a crit.
Deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 2

↺ (first opportunity - 15' aura, so Emdi covers the Professor, Yellow/Drantilt and Red/Yakuthiel, but not Pink/Jun-mei and not Orange/Nagaikaze)

Emdi is untrained in Athletics, so he'll just fire nonlethal arrows.

Emdi glares at Purple, and then fires at him.

Demoralize (Intimidation): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35 vs Will DC

Shortbow, Nonlethal: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 17 - 2 = 23
Nonlethal: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 = 8

Shortbow, Nonlethal, MAP: 1d20 + 17 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 17 - 2 - 5 = 24
Nonlethal: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2) + 3 = 10

Edit: Just saw that Jun-Mei posted ahead of me. If Purple goes unconscious, Emdi will change targets to the most wounded still on the dock. If nobody is left on the dock, Emdi will target the least wounded in the water.

↺ (first opportunity to do so)

Purple hitting Nagaikaze would have triggered Emdi's Reaction. Resist 10 for Nagaikaze, and (19)+17-2 = 34 to hit for (3,4)+3 = 10 nonlethal.

If they're using nonlethal, any attack that Emdi makes with Retributive Strike will also be nonlethal.

I suppose it's a little late, now, but Emdi has Intimidation (M) +18.

Emdi moves up, draws his shortbow, and warns Orange.

"This is going to look very bad on our report! Stand down!"

Demoralize: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 vs Orange Will DC

Emdi is unwilling to fire the first shot, but he'll use Retributive Strike if they attack an ally, and nonlethal if they're <50% health.

↺

Emdi immediately walks up and greets. "Yo, what's up, dawg?"

Diplomacy, Glad-Hand: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

"Of course, by 'dawg', I mean my testimonial for the colloquial. I do not believe you're a canine."

Emdi introduces the team.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Perhaps he should not have added "-izzle" to everyone's names.

Emdi taps his foot impatiently at Russ's waffling, and then decides to see if he can help with the books.

Religion +11

Emdi will ask his hireling about the best sailing routes.

Nature +12

"If, for reasons that we deem necessary, we were to let them live, what would be an alternate way to dismantle the organization?"

I'm here, but I don't want to hog all the questions.

Emdi has the Glad-Hand feat, and would get a chance to immediately Make an Impression on her.

Make an Impression, Glad-Hand: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 vs Will DC
I will assume that is a Failure or Critical Failure, there is no downside with Glad-Hand.

---

Emdi would recommend learning more about Khione Thidos, and why the Dispatch might have been hired to kidnap them. He will Jun-Mei's question about how did they came to use the Red Mantis name - specifically, whether the founders were former, or current Red Mantis assassins?

---

After 1 minute of discussion, Emdi can make a new check to Make an Impression. I'm not sure we're Making an Impression (I suspect it's more Make a Request given our relationship) so I'll spoiler the roll in case it's not needed.
