Flint Firetoe's page

Flint is an 18th level Zen Archer/Inquisitor who would be interested in playing. :)

I have options for all all tiers of Seeker play but I might as well start with the best. :)

Those two are good as they have a 17-18 tier as well. :)

This dwarf still has some life in him and I refuse to retire any of my Seeker characters until PF1 is no longer supported. :)

Well done GM Otha. Many thanks for a properly run game. :)

@Theodric - I like the lunar base. That is a fun idea!

I would be up to continuing on with this group but we will need someone to run the adventure. This (as always) is the main stumbling block to continuing on. I would of course be up to playing any one of the 1 XP high level adventures and if we were to play Witchwar Legacy then I would have to bring my 17th level Bard instead (and burn a replay) as Flint has already played it. :)

Flint answers Osprey and Janira.

"Yes, the queen is gone for now with a few of my arrows in her I might add. Being able to Teleport is handy when you need to get away. I doubt that she will return, at least in the short term."

@Agata - It is a DC 30 Knowledge History or knowledge Arcana to know the proper command word for a magical item.

Flint has a close look at the statues to see if they resemble any of the people that they are looking for.

"It is likely that we have found our people transformed into statues or trapped in this mirror."

"Agata do you know a way to free them?"

Thanks for the sheet. It looks good. That is a nice boon and it is time to buy something silly with it. :)

Flint nods. Clearly they need to find the prisoners.

"I guess we can resort to magic if we get stuck but we should use our eyes and ears first in a place like this."

"My bet is they are down in the pit somewhere but it is always best to be thorough."

"Theodric would you please use your sword to cut a hole in the wall near the entrance. I am sure that it will cut through the stone like a hot knife through butter."

While the dwarf waits for the fighter to cut a passage around the prismatic wall he examines the room for any sign of tracks and takes a peek down into the pit to see if he notices anything.

Flint smiles as the last demon departs. He nods at Marta's comments in agreement.

"Indeed, these creatures keep leaving with my arrows still in them."

"At least I was able to finally put Betcezia down. She was running from combat to combat for quite a while."

"As for following the queen well she could be anywhere right now. Somehow I think that we have seen the last of her on this adventure."

Flint casts a few curatives on himself for good measure.

Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (6, 4, 5) + 9 = 24
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

There has been a definite shift up in difficulty in the scenarios and high level adventures as the game evolved. This is a hard fact to ignore and it forces characters to be (at least somewhat) optimised to face the latter challenges. In other words I agree with what Theodric and Agata are saying. :)

I am glad to see that there has been some fun RP among the group so it has not been completely hack'n'slash.

Day Job for Flint. Profession-Engineering, Ioun Stone: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 2 = 35

Agreed Marta. No criticism intended. I was simply trying to point out things that did not make sense (to me) at the time. It is all good. :)

Flint attempts to resist the negative energy attack and is only damaged somewhat.

Will save, Heroism, Shake it off, Planar Penalty: 1d20 + 29 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 29 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 40

The archer changes his stance to a more aggressive posture and banes his bow against the evil outsiders that he is facing. He keeps his pull light on his bow attempting for accuracy over damage. He targets Betcezia first and then turns his arrows to target the evil queen should she drop. Once again he relies on his Echolocation to bypass her Displacement effect.

@GM Otha - We can simply say that we are playing this module in "Campaign" mode which gives the GM a lot more leeway to alter the encounters and rules as he sees fit and ties everything up with a nice neat ribbon.

I really like the addition of the survivors from the previous battles. It makes the final battle much more dramatic and it will hopefully last a little longer than the two round battles which are common in this level range.

It has been fun. :)

I know how mounted archery works Theodric and normally you would be correct in what you are saying. In this particular case as the archer could not see her target at the beginning of her round she should not be able to take a Full Attack action on her turn.

While this restriction is not written directly in the rules the rider and mount share the same turn in many regards so the rider's turn starts at the same time as the mount begins to move. If the rider has to wait half her turn (a move action) to be able to see her opponent then she should only be able to take a standard action to attack.

Typically the attacker and the target are not hidden from each other at the beginning of the turn so this case would be an exception (in my mind at least) to the general rule. :)

@GM Otha - It would seem that you are playing fast and loose with the action economy for our opponents. It is generally not possible to Teleport (a standard SLA for a Succubus) and then cast a standard action spell (Vampiric Touch) in the same round. Likewise casting a spell and then negative channeling (without a feat like Quick Channel) is also not possible as you are combining two standard actions together in the same round. Also a mounted archer who did not have line of sight/line of effect at the start of his turn should not be able to Full Attack.
The mount and the rider are essentially sharing the round (they act together on the rider's initiative count) and their actions need to be synchronised with each other.

@GM Otha - Alie targeted the general and not Izmiaria with her spell. I think that the general is frozen solid now with those rolls. :)

This is a clear case as a monk is able to attack unarmed even with both of his hands full. It is even spelled out in the class feature itself!

Clearly your old GM needs to be pointed back to the actual text of the CRB. I agree with Agata. He was just plain wrong. :)

@Theodric :-)

@Zaarah - Your character cannot cast Immediate action spells if she was flatfooted at the time of the attack. Just a reminder. :)

Yes, Flint can flank with his unarmed attacks even while he is attacking with his bow. An advantage of being a Monk (with the Unarmed Strike class feature) as opposed to the other archers out there. His feet are registered deadly weapons! :-)

With Betcezia momentarily out of sight Flint turns his attention to Izmiara. He nods respectfully at the general adopting a more defensive posture and lessens the pull on his bow to compensate for any loss in accuracy.

He then sends his arrows flying at the queen to hopefully finish the job that Theodric has started. He relies on his Echolocation to bypass the nasty Displacement effect.

If Flint is lucky enough to down the queen then he will send his remaining arrows at the general

@GM Otha - Clearly the GM's combat post is going to take a lot longer as there is just so much more going on than a player's post. No worries. :)

@Theodric - The Clay Skin spell (cast at caster level 9) can absorb a maximum of 45 hit points of damage before it is dispelled. :)

@GM Otha - I am not seeing a post from you in the game post so I cannot double check your math. Hopefully it will show up soon. ;)

Sorry for my double posting here. :)

@GM Otha - Damage taken should be 18 lethal damage (3+20- 5 points for Clay Skin) and 57 non-lethal damage (7+10+40). The Greater Vital Strike damage has to be removed completely.

Generally I think that this feat (and feat chain) is there to help martial characters when they need to spend their move action moving up and then they only get one attack. If you have a big attack (like a giant, dinosaur or Marta's goliath druid then it is even better).

True but as I mentioned in the game thread Greater Vital Strike cannot be added to a full attack action (only an attack action) so he does a little less damage then you think even on a crit! :)

As for the Buffering Cap it is much better to be knocked out then killed. That is for sure.

When Flint is struck by the incredible axe blow by the general Flint's Buffering Cap triggers (as an immediate action) softening the blow significantly.

@GM Otha - Lethal damage is reduced by 5 points due to Clay Skin. All of the critical damage from the axe attack is converted to non-lethal damage. Also Vital Strike/Greater Vital Strike damage should only be added if the general makes one attack as a standard action not on a full attack so this damage needs to be removed entirely. Flint should take 18 points of lethal damage (23 [3+20] points - 5 points from Clay Skin) and 77 [7+10+60] points of non-lethal damage due to the Buffering Cap.

@GM Otha - Everyone should be up now in the initiative order either at the bottom or top of the initiative order.

The GM's dice are hot,hot,hot! Watch out! :0

Flint clicks his boots together for a burst of speed and then calls forth a judgement against his enemies (Destruction and Protection). The dwarf archer targets his attacks against Betcezia first and if she falls he will switch to General Irentios. Flint hopes that his new found auditory power (Echolocation) will help his arrows fly true. He then checks out the queen for signs of weakness.

Echolocation should bypass Displacement

Echolocation and See Invisibility are active

Knowledge Planes for the Queen, Heroism, Heightened Awareness, Chronicle, Planar Penalty: 1d20 + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 40

I am interested in Spell-Like Abilities,Supernatural Abilities and the abilities of her black blade.

@Theodric - Enlarge Person will not work as Alie is at her maximum already for the Dimension Door spell. Protection from Evil is an excellent idea. :)

Flint looks over at Alie to magically transport them over the wall before letting his arrows fly.

As long as we are in contact with each other then Dimension Door will work (no crouching required). I am going to assume that we did that prior to combat as we all know we are going in magically. :)

@GM Otha - Lucky for me that Alie is in the top initiative block with my character. Flint should draw first blood! :)

@GM Otha - I see nothing in the spell description that blocks ordinary sound but spell effects relying on sound would probably be blocked by the violet layer. As the wall is opaque no one would be able to see into or out of the room. As the GM you can always tell us how we are able to see her now or we can roll with the fact that the description of the room and its inhabitants will be delivered once we bypass or breach the wall.

To the party: It would seem that Dimension Door (when people are ready) would be the best way to bypass the prismatic wall or alternatively Theodric could easily carve up the adjacent wall with his adamantine weapon.

@GM Otha - We are going into combat anyways so why not trigger it? :) I will take the first buff as it will negate that nasty Displacement effect. How exactly are we seeing them through the Prismatic Wall? Is there a gap somewhere to allow us to see into the room?

@Theodric - It is often the quiet ones that surprise you. ;)

In a home game I can certainly see some of the characters cracking here and deciding to maybe hang out for a "day or two" with the queen. :)

While the others converse with the beautiful queen Flint take advantage of the time provided to hide behind the opaque prismatic wall. He draws forth a scroll of Echolocation and casts it on himself to prepare for the coming battle. Time permitting he casts Divine Favor on himself as well.

@GM Otha - Please let me know if I can get a buff or two in during the time spent during the conversation.

I get your reference GM Otha which makes me too old as well. :)

Flint keeps pace with Theodric at the front of the party. He keeps an eye out for possible danger.

46 Perception on a take 10 including planar penalties.

Right. We will have to find the real prisoners sooner or latter. :)

Flint looks at Theodric and points to the unexplored corridor adjacent to the recently defeated demons.

"We should continue on ahead."

We need to check everywhere for the prisoners so one way is as a good as another.

Flint shrugs knowing that it is indeed a very minor setback.

"No matter he will fall next time we meet him. I doubt he will be able to pull that rabbit out of the hat again."

"Shall we continue on?"

Flint fortifies himself with a spell (Fallback Strategy) and a charge off of his staff (Shield spell) right before the party is ready to move forward. He grips his bow tightly ready to use his pointy arrows on the general if they meet again.

Flint nods at Theodric's comments.

"True justice would be to deliver this general to his mistress in chains and watch as she slowly tears him to pieces for his stupidity and weakness."

"Personally I think that we should grant him a quick death now. It is a practical and humane solution."

Flint also has methods of determining the truth or forcing discussion. Marta is not the only inquisitor in the party although she is the most experienced. The dwarf is confident that the general will be happy to tell the party his plan and how we all will be splendidly defeated in the coming battles.

While he watches and listens for the truth he also looks for signs of domination or charm which will help to better explain the general's current behaviour.

25 Sense Motive on a take 10 with planar penalties (it is DC 15 to detect domination and DC 25 to determine if a person is charmed).

With the battle over Flint's Judgement ends abruptly. His fresh wound is mostly healed (Now only -5 hit points on the board).

"Excellent job Theodric. You must have been reading my mind as I was just going to suggest that you hog-tie the general. Magical handcuffs are fine and all but nothing beats a well tied rope!"

The dwarf collects his durable arrows from the fallen demons and casts a quick spell on himself removing what is left of his wounds.

Cure Light Wounds, CL 9: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

@GM Otha - Flint is at full hit points.

He gestures in the general's direction and gives the man a magical pat down for any equipment, hidden or otherwise that the man might be carrying.

41 Perception on a take 10 to magically feel or see any visible or hidden equipment on the general (Sift spell).

@Marta - I would hang on to your gloves for now unless you want to use your character's hands slot for something else. Acid damage works fine against most creature types. Against demons and devils you are out of luck. :)

Flint's wounds begin to close as Irori's magic begins to take effect (4 hit points healed). He steps forward (5 feet) and examines the new combatant before putting bane on his bow and attempting to finish off Red before moving on to Green.

@GM Otha - Flint is now at -9 hit points on the board. While green does provide soft cover (which Flint ignores) by blocking the doorway there should be gaps enough for Flint to fire through.

Knowledge-Nobility, Heroism, Heightened Awareness, Planar Penalty: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 27

"It is General Irentios. He was thought to be missing. Try to knock him out if you can."

"Hold on Theodric. We are coming through!"

@GM Otha - I would say that rend is a separate source of damage and that yes damage reduction should apply. Just my 2 cents. :)

Flint calls forth the judgement of Irori as he battles this new set of foes. He pulls forth a half dozen arrows as he attempts to turn the closest Glazrezu (green) into a pin cushion.

Judgement (Protection, Healing)

What horrible rolling! :)

I am going to wait until the GM has the chance to put a proper map up before taking my actions. :)

Flint checks out the demons before being mauled and spell hammered. While the claw does rip into the dwarf's leg it is blunted slightly by his rock hard skin (Clay Skin).

Knowledge Planes, Heroism, Heightened Awareness, Chronicle, Planar Penalty: 1d20 + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 31

"Glabrezu, I have seen them before."

I will take spell-like abilities and special attacks please.

The dwarf attempts not to be fully spell hammered.

Will save, Heroism, Hardy, Planar Penalties: 1d20 + 29 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 29 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 47

@GM Otha - With the Clay Skin spell up, the successful save and the temporary hit points as a buffer Flint should be at -13 hit points on the board.

Flint scans the area for any possible traps. He is wary of any possible deception but knows that they will have to act to free the prisoners.

"Theodric, Marta cut them down but be careful. I will cover both of you with my bow."

46 Perception on a take 10 to see through any disguises and to look for traps in the room.

@GM Otha - Are we going to have to fly down the shaft to get to the fork in the road? If so I will beg a Fly spell off of Alie and if not my character will use one of his own scrolls to get down there.

"Clearly the ability to see through walls would be of use on this festering moon. Fortunately no one was injured."

"Now it is time to descend and perhaps take the first fork in the road (red arrow on the map)?"

It is very bad game design to make deadly traps practically impossible to find. It eliminates player agency and is another nail in the coffin for the poor rogue. :)
