To be clear, I'm not reading the spoilers, so I don't know if Zelphari knows his Strike hit or did fatal damage, or whether he's just posting what he did for flavor or on a hunch or prior knowledge or whatever. Sometimes players assume wrong, e.g., they don't know a monster has a resistance to their weapon type, or they're unaware the orc has Ferocity, and they prematurely post a creature's demise. It's always helpful to have it confirmed in a GM post.
I think you're going to have to be more specific if you've noticed something about my character. I have no idea what you're talking about, and with the exception of preferring to roll for the ancestral meddling at the beginning of my next turn rather than the end of my previous turn, I believe I've played correctly. The predominant ancestor during my turn was warfare, and Ezaki made a Strike with his longspear. The next turn will be skills, and Ezaki will have to do something with a skill check. Do I have some part of that wrong? Am I missing something?
1. Ezaki's dominant "ancestors" are the war-like ones that will encourage him to Strike. 2. I need to revise Ezaki's Infernal Detonations boon as well as his weapon damage. Ezaki is level 1, not level 2. His ID damage should be 7, not 8. Additionally, he doesn't have martial weapon proficiency yet - his weapon should have been the longspear, not the guisarme.
Ezaki steps back.
Infernal Detonations (reaction) Trigger A creature within 30 feet of you targets you or an ally with an attack; Effect The creature takes fire damage equal to 1d6+your level (basic Reflex save). The DC of the Reflex save is equal to your spell DC or your class DC, whichever is higher.
1. I shouldn't have an action left. Ancestral Touch ◆, Change Grip ◆, Strike ◆. 2. Does anyone mind if I roll at the beginning of my next round rather than the end of my previous round? I usually roll at the beginning for roleplay reasons - the "ancestors'" suggestions end up being disjointed because everything moves around. On the other hand, if the predominant ancestor is known, people can plan strategically. 3. Mean bear indeed, although rolling near-mininum damage on Ezaki feels like a play swipe.
Ezaki reaches out and touches the bear. Ancestral Touch, DC 15
This power attracts the attention of Belimarius's court.
Whoa, whoa, what's going on here? Let's see some skills! Dance, boy! Ezaki tries to ignore them.
He grabs his guisarme with both hands and stabs at the bear.
"Let him go, you big meanie."
Sassa is 65' of difficult terrain plus 10' normal terrain away, which is 140' movement away, and at Dying 3. It is unlikely anyone has the means of saving her at this distance - even a 30' range heal spell (2 actions) would require 90' of movement (3-4 actions) to get in range. That's 2 full turns. I just wanted to make sure this setup was intentional. Because I'm going to guess none of us will try to save Sassa if it's physically impossible.
Ezaki does his best seal and crawls out onto the ice. He'll bring a torch, his flint and steel, and his waterskin with him.
He's an ice cream vendor, so he knows how to warm frozen things up gently. He lights the torch, and warms up the water so it's medium warm. Then, he gently pours out the water onto the ribbon, wiggling it to loosen it.
Ezaki picks up a pole, runs towards the bank, plants the pointy end into the ground, and ...
... plants the pole into a real slippery part of the riverbank. The pole slides forward and Ezaki falls on his face. "My bad." Ezaki backs up and gets another running start, this time, putting the planting the pole into a rockier part of the ground where he can get some traction. This time, he ...
... sails through the air and lands on the other bank. "YOLO! Come on over, the weather's fine over here!"
"Some bloke told me that Balgird was chasing a linnorm and it escaped across a river. So the linnorm was like 'nyahhhh' and Balgird was like 'orlyyy'. But, like, Balgird knew if he swam across, he'd be so tired that the linnorm could just wreck him, so he took a sapling and vaulted across the river." Ezaki then repeats the specific strategies for overcoming the challenge that he learned .
Ezaki is pushing the sled out of a particularly nasty ditch when he hears a voice. Boy, why are you doing all the grunt work? Ezaki pauses. "Yes," he thinks to himself. "Why am I doing all the grunt work?" He looks at Brunwulf, sitting pretty in the cargo basket. "I don't deserve to be muddy. I'm too good to be muddy." Do you have some wine? Throw it in Brunwulf's face. Ezaki digs through his belongings and finds a wineskin. Uncorking it, he starts to sneak towards Brunwulf, but just at that moment, Zelphari steps in and begins pushing. Instantly forgetting his one-sided feud with Brunwulf, Ezaki returns with heroic resolve and pushes!
Hopefully Zelphari is a better pusher than Ezaki.
"Sorry bro ... Just wanted to make sure you got all the info you needed." --- Ezaki can cast guidance on people as they go. Ezaki also has Soothing Words, but we may need a GM ruling to see if it's applicable. Ezaki has Perception +3 and Stealth +2 so he should go later rather than sooner.
"Aw man, you didn't say this was going to be on the exam ..." Ezaki tries to think back to what the official said. The kid's making us look bad. Should we help him? Ezaki, for the first time in his life, welcomes the voices in his head. Balgird Bluetongue was searching for a linnorm and lived off the land. "Balgird Bluetongue was searching for a linnorm and lived off the land." He scaled a great tree so carefully that the tree did not bend. "He scaled a great tree so carefully that the tree did not bend." The bird did not even notice its egg had gone missing. "The bird did not even notice its egg had gone missing." But the egg was undercooked so Balgird Bluetongue died. "But the egg was undercooked so-HEY." Sorry, we couldn't resist. The tree will bend if your weight is not evenly distributed, so wrap your legs around the tree. "The tree will bend if your weight is not evenly distributed, so wrap your legs around the tree." Ezaki yells, "I'm special!" and rushes up the tree.
He gets about halfway up and then slides back down and hits his rump ont he icy ground.
Ezaki will chat up the referees for a while. "Sweet gig! Do you guys ever get to participate in the race, or are you working the whole time? Any tips for newbies?"
Fist bumps all around. --- After that, he's going to try to find some ice cream and show the vendor how to twirl it on a stick.
Where's Golarion Instagram when you need it?
"There's a saying in Edasseril ... 'red sky at night, snow for the forseeable future; blue sky at night, snow for the forseeable future.'
Ezaki gets himself some winter clothing and forgets to get anyone else's gear. Or the rest of his. "My bad."
"WOW YOU LOOK LIKE A BEE!" Ezaki blurts out when he sees Atae. He quickly realizes that it was inappropriate and stammers out an introduction. "Uh ... sorry ... I'm Ezaki." --- Ezaki listens to Brunwulf's stories about the new lodge in Sauerton. "Aw, man, I wish I could have been there. I-" -had to report to my overlords!
"Shut UP!" Ezaki hisses, apparently to himself. "I, uh, had to visit family back home for a bit."
Paizo Handle: Watery Soup
Success = 0.4 gp total --- I've changed Ezaki since his last adventure, and need to get an updated character sheet up. I'll try to get it done later today.
A dog sled pulls up and a young hitchhiker jumps off. "YOLO!" he shouts, as he fist-bumps the driver and rushes inside. Ezaki has had a relatively short trip here from his native Edasseril. He's quite used to the cold - in fact, his profession, an ice cream maker/server, relies on people being willing to eat ice cream in sub-zero temperatures. His ice cream serving pole, with a flattened knob on one end for scooping and serving, has been awkwardly fitted with a blade on the other end to form a makeshift longspear. It was the only way for Ezaki to leave the oppressive realm of Belimarius - sign up for a reality show, and have the producers feed him with silly suggestions for their amusement and entertainment. There's no cheating in Edasseril, or at least, there's very little. Belimarius's iron-fisted guards execute cheaters on the spot, so people are strongly deterred from attempting anything that even resembles cheating. Also, why cheat? YOLO! Ezaki bursts into the Lodge, fist bumping everyone - save Brunwulf, whom he chest bumps.
