Fyn N' Gyn's page

So sorry - I realized that I've already played this scenario. Please drop me from the Campaign Info list. Thanks.

Thanks for running, GM! This was a really fun and interesting scenario. I liked how different and challenging each of the combats was.

Fyn bows his head mournfully at Mahja's death and prays fervently to Nethys that her struggle in the Crucible lead to victory.

Hmm, well I guess that answers the question of *how* paizo is planning on killing off one of the core pantheon!

Fyn disappears from the spot where he stands and magically reappears closer to the fray. Then he quickly sends bolts of electricity surging through the two remaining wights.

◆ Spend 1 focus point (1 remaining) to cast Amped Warp Step to teleport up to 70'

◆◆ Cast a spell - Electric Arc
Electric dmg: 5d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 2, 3) + 4 = 19 basic Reflex DC 26 (includes the sickened penalty)

Fire dmg: 8d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5, 6, 5, 2, 5, 3) = 37 Ouch!

Fyn calls forth some magical assistance from his staff and then sends a stone hurtling through the air at Red.

Not holding breath because the spell requires a verbal component - not sure if the Sickened applies immediately or at the end of my turn - I'll assume the former.

◆ Spend 1 staff charge (4/8 remain) to cast True Strike

◆◆ Cast a Spell: Telekinetic Projectile

DC 5 flat check vs Concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Telekinetic Projectile vs Red, sickened: 1d20 + 17 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 17 - 1 = 36 OR Telekinetic Projectile vs Red, sickened: 1d20 + 17 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 17 - 1 = 30
B dmg: 5d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 6, 6, 6, 5) + 4 = 30

Fire dmg to Fyn: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 5, 1) = 11

GM, note that the Greater Staff of Healing gives a +2 bonus to the healing (but not the dmg to the wight) so the pathfinders should all be healed 24, not 22.

Fyn watches Tess fall with alarm, lifts his staff aloft, and calls upon the divine power of his god. "By the grace of Nethys, may your wounds be healed!"

Level 3 Heal targeting everyone within 30' (will catch Red and all allies except Zac)

Healing, Greater Staff: 3d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 6, 8) + 2 = 24

Red has a basic Fort DC 24 vs 22 positive dmg

Fire dmg to Fyn: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 4) = 13

Is Orange dead? I don't see their token on the battle board.

Fyn stares at his holy symbol of Nethys, recalling the god's divine gift of magic, and sends forth another fireball!

◇ Drain Bonded Item - Level 3 - recover prepared Fireball spell

◆ Bond Conservation - gain another use of Drain Bonded Item that must be used by the end of my next turn and must be for a level 1 spell

◆◆ Cast a Spell - Fireball (target Blue and Red, and also Orange if possible, while obviously excluding my friends). DC 27 Reflex

Fire dmg: 6d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 1, 5, 6) = 25

end of turn fire dmg to Fyn: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

Fyn hurries up the steps to see what is going on... ◆ Stride (40' speed with the bonus)

... once he sees that the undead don't appear to be too fond of all the fire around them, he grins and decides to crisp them a bit further.

◆◆ Cast a Spell - Fireball, DC 27 basic Reflex, should catch Red, Blue and Orange, but none of my allies and also, I think, none of the wights inside the stone wall prison
Fire dmg: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 2, 4, 4) = 22

noted: 1 Hero Point gained - thx.

Updating my spells prepped for the new day before reading about the newest encounter. Swapping out: Hideous Laughter, Level 3 Fear, Heroism, Prying Eye. Adding: Blur, Fireball, Level 3 Disrupting Weapons, Shadow Siphon.

Is Enlarge useful for anyone? I currently have it prepped but will drop it if not.

Using wands as normal (False Life, 2nd level Longstrider) but instead of my usual prep for 6 castings of Pocket Library (one for each knowledge skill), I'll cast it for Religion (prepared spell), Arcana (wand), Occultism (wand), and keep 3 wands in reserve (i.e. not yet used).

Sorry for the posting delay everyone. Was traveling the past several days - thought I would have time for gaming but turned out I didn't. Catching up now.

Fyn focusses on finishing up the Traps that have been laid for the impending horde.

Crafting: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24 Prime for this task
Ugh, hero point! 1 Hero Point remaining.
Crafting: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24 Sigh. Destiny...

Fyn sneaks forward a bit and then sends a bolt of cold towards Green.

◆ Sneak (Stealth +13, invisible)

◆◆ Cast a Spell - Ray of Frost

Spell Attack Roll vs flat-footed AC: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
Cold dmg: 5d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 4, 3) + 4 = 17

Fyn sends blasts of flame hurtling through the air at Purple, Yellow and Red (Green is one square out of range)

◆◆◆ Cast a spell - Level 5 Scorching Ray

Spell Attack Roll vs flat-footed (because Fyn is invisible) AC - Purple: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
Fire dmg: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 5, 3, 2, 3, 6, 5, 1) = 33

Spell Attack Roll vs flat-footed (because Fyn is invisible) AC - Yellow: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
Fire dmg: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 2, 3, 1, 4, 1) = 29

Spell Attack Roll vs flat-footed (because Fyn is invisible) AC - Red: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
Fire dmg: 10d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 1, 2, 2, 1, 4, 1, 4) = 32

Fyn utters a quick prayer to Nethys and then teleports to the middle of the bridge.

◆ Spend 1 focus point (0 remaining) to cast Amped Warp Step to teleport double Fyn's speed (total movement is 70').

Then he sends a ray of cold hurtling towards Blue.

◆◆ Cast a spell - Ray of Frost
Spell Attack Roll vs flat-footed AC (because invisible): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
Cold dmg: 5d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 1, 4) + 4 = 15 On a crit besides double dmg, also -10 speed for 1 round

Then Fyn stands in the middle of the bridge nervously, hoping the wights can't see him!

Fyn uses his staff to cast True Strike and then sends an arrow of acid at the Yellow wight.

◆ Cast a Spell - True Strike (staff charges: 3 remaining)

◆◆ Cast a Spell - Level 4 Acid Arrow

Spell Attack roll vs Flat-footed AC (because invisible): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19 OR Spell Attack roll vs Flat-footed AC (because invisible): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

Acid dmg: 5d8 ⇒ (6, 4, 8, 7, 1) = 26 +2d6 persistent acid dmg; on a crit the initial dmg is doubled but not the persistent dmg.

Fyn is still invisible due to his invis spell being cast at 4th level.

Fyn attempts to recall whatever he may know about wights.

◆ Recall Knowledge (Religion), using previously cast Pocket Library to give +1 status bonus (If you roll a critical failure on this check, you get a failure instead. If the roll is successful and the subject is a creature, you gain additional information or context about the creature.). Also, ↺ as a reaction, spending 1 Focus Point to cast Scholarly Recollection (roll the Knowledge check twice and take the better result). Religion is +17 (including the status bonus). Especially interested in weaknesses, immunities, resistances, or whatever the GM cares to share.

After sharing whatever he recalls about these creatures with his comrades, Fyn too turns invisible ◆◆ Casting level 4 Invisibility.

Also, for the purposes of spells, staff charges, etc. is this still the same day as the previous fight, or a new one?

GM, just to clarify, didn't you say earlier that there were 3 rounds of skill checks? I think we've only done two (but maybe the 3rd round comes after this fight?).

Fyn continues to supervise the construction of the barricades. He'd be happy to keep the undead at a healthy distance.

Crafting: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33

Fyn helps supervise the townsfolk as they erect barricades to slow the undead onslaught.

Crafting: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37

Btw, I just realized that this is a 9-12 scenario (I somehow thought it was 7-10). Are we operating with a level bump for the level 9s and any mentor boons?

Fyn will be best at either Traps or Barricades (Crafting +20 for either).

Fyn has Crafting +20, +16 Arcana/Religion, and +15 for a variety of other skills that I bet someone else has higher.

He can offer his Flask of Fellowship to help (+1) if someone is going to try a Diplomacy check.

To clarify, in each of the 3 rounds:

A) only 1 character can attempt one of the various checks, and all that everyone else can do is aid?

OR

B) for each of the various checks that are listed, only 1 character can attempt it, while the other characters can attempt to aid or do something else (such as attempt one of the other checks)?

OR

C) something else that I've missed.

Fyn nods in acknowledgment of the orc knight's mustache. "Good day, sir knight! Indeed, if this is a sign of what lies in store than the invading army will be formidable no doubt. And yet I have confidence the gods will protect us. And while we rest we can remember the simple joys of being among the living. Such as mustaches! Yours is impressive for a non-gnome - tell me, were you perhaps adopted by gnomes?" Fyn seems to recall his manners at the last moment. "Ah, and forgive my rudeness, I am Fyn N' Gyn, a humble and simple priest of Nethys, and these are my comrades."

Fyn has a pearly white spindle aeon for 1 hp/minute healing, which will get him back to full in 35 minutes. He also has Medicine +14 for anyone who needs it, though I imagine someone else is probably even better. GM, do you want us to sort out healing or just hand wave it?

Fyn glares at the skulls and then tries a different form of magic.

◆ 1 charge from Staff (4 remain) to cast True Strike to roll attack roll twice and take the better result.

◆◆ Ray of Frost

Spell Attack Roll vs skulls: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26 OR Spell Attack Roll vs skulls: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23

Cold dmg: 5d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 3, 4) + 4 = 17

Fyn moves away from the cloud of skulls and then sends a bolt of electricity bouncing from the skulls to the remaining zombie.

◆ Stride

◆◆ Cast a spell - Electric Arc - DC 27 basic Reflex
Elec dmg: 5d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 3, 2) + 4 = 16

↺ Unexpected Shift DC 16 flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 1 Whew, fortunately no consequence to a crit fail

Reflex DC 29: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28 So close and yet so far. Fyn takes 20 P dmg

Will have to wait to take my actual turn until later today.

↺ Unexpected Shift DC 16 flat check vs scream: 1d20 ⇒ 14 No effect
Will vs scream: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 34 Sonic dmg to Fyn (10 of which are absorbed by temp hp from False Life) and frightened 1

Fyn holds his staff aloft and calls forth the divine power of Nethys! He's right next to the skulls so this would provoke if they have an AoO - I don't think we've seen them take an AoO so far, but if that's incorrect and I just missed it then he'll do something else.

◆◆◆ level 3 Heal spell - 30' burst - uses 3 charges (out of 8) from staff

Pos dmg to Undead and Healing to party members: 3d8 ⇒ (4, 1, 2) = 7 Staff gives +2 hp for healing, so 9 hp healing to each party member.
DC 23 (because Frightened 1) Basic Fort save for the Undead

At the end of his turn, Fyn is no longer Frightened 1

Daily prep: cast Longstrider, False Life, and six castings of Pocket Library (one for each Knowledge skill). Schools consumable for this adventure: scroll of Cone of Cold.

DC 29 Will: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36

Fyn moves into a better position and then sends a blast of positive energy at the mass of skulls.

◆ Stride

◆◆ Cast a spell - Disrupt Undead vs skulls - Fort DC 24 basic save
Positive dmg: 5d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 5, 2) + 3 = 22

A short and portly - is there any other kind - gnome comes rushing up. "Terribly sorry to be late but some of the novices were mixing up their dogmas again and I had to get them all straightened out. Wouldn't do to have them confused about basic matters of theology now would it?!? And somehow - I can't imagine how - some of them think I don't know what I'm talking about! Me, a true priest of the mystic arts of magic!?! Hmmph. Well, I set them straight, you can be sure about that! But... terribly sorry... begging your pardon, where's my manners got to? I am Fyn N' Gyn, though my friends, among whom I hope and trust you shall count yourselves, are welcome to call me Fyn, I am Fyn N' Gyn, a humble priest of Lord Nethys, praised be their name, from whom all magic issues as a mere sign of their magnificence. It appears that we have a mission that will afford us the opportunity to consider all sorts of theological ramifications, excellent, excellent. What could possibly go wrong?"

Fyn is in fact a Wizard, but he thinks he's a Cleric (he has the Cleric dedication feat - and has recently added the Psychic dedication feat as well to just further underline how magically zany he is).

Also, I have actually played In Burning Dawn with this character :-)

Cousin! It is always good to see another gnome in the party - when gnomes congregate, what could possibly go wrong?!?

...

I changed my character image so that Fyn and Drogo don't look like identical twins since that can get confusing.

No glyphs to offer but I am happy to accept Grandma's acknowledgment of the troubles we of lesser stature face! Are the cookies ready yet, Grandma?

I have the Magical and Skillful Mentor boons to offer in case anyone is getting a level bump.

I'm at an in-person convention (Dragoncon) all weekend so I won't have a chance to fill in the slides etc. until Monday but for planning purposes Fyn is a level 9 Wizard with the Cleric dedication.

Yep, and I noted the reminder at the time, but then promptly forgot again! One of the perils of having too many games going at the same time. Anyway, glad it didn't have any lasting impact.

Thanks again for running!

Thanks for running, GM! I had a good time. Chronicle looks good.

After the mission, Fyn spends some time growing turnips for market.
Downtime Farming Lore: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Fyn is level 2 so he does a 0-level task (his level -2) for DC 14. So a 20 is a normal success. He's trained, so he earns 5 cp/day because it's a level 0 task (or does he earn 3 sp/day because he is level 2?) for a total of 4sp (or 2.4 gp if it goes off of his level, but I think the former is the correct way to do it. I always get confused though...)

EDIT: I just remembered that I was planning to use his downtime to retrain his ancestry feat from animal accomplice to empathetic plea (the nerfing of the independent/valet combo, reasonable though it is, makes a familiar much less interesting for him). So that uses 7 days of his downtime so he only earns income for 1 day (for a total of 5 cp).

Fyn looks down at the dead bodies a bit ruefully. "Oh um right, prisoners, questioning, yes, of course. Meant to do that. Really we did. Oops."

I'll admit I completely forgot that part of the assignment!

Fyn moves forward and sends another bolt of electricity bouncing between the two remaining foes.

◆ Stride

◆◆ Cast a Spell - Electric Arc - Basic Reflex DC 18
Electric dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Sorry for the delay - busy weekend!

Fearing that Uncle Jeb may try to run away, Fyn waves his staff at him. "By the power of Lord Nethys, I command you to stand still that we may question you regarding these criminal acts!"

◆ Reach Spell metamagic

◆◆ Cast a Spell - Tanglefoot (from Staff)
Spell Attack Roll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Fyn once again draws upon the blessings of Nethys to infuse his magical casting with some additional range and then he hurls bolts of electricity at Uncle Jeb and the Red rogue.

◆ Reach spell metamagic

◆◆ Cast a Spell - Electric Arc - Reflex DC 18
Electric dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Init (Perception): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Fyn tries to help as well, using his knowledge of the Arcane to try to stifle the object.

Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

"Praise Nethys! Ultimately we just have to put all our trust in him, for all the magic of the manyverses is but like the blood flowing in his veins."

DC 18 Society: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Crit fail - GM, any consequence that I should know of?

Seeing the dead bodies Fyn rubs his bald head a bit remorsefully. "Oops, I guess the venture captain did want us to take prisoners! Oh well, better luck next time!"

DC 15 Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Fyn watches with admiration as Old Glim deftly disables the strange object.

Fyn advances forward and sends a ball of flame at the halfling.

◆ Stride
◆◆ Cast a Spell - Produce Flame

Spell Attack Roll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Fire dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
On a critical success, the target takes double damage and 1d4 persistent fire damage.

Hoping to quickly remove the halfling's underlings from the fight, Fyn sends bolts of electricity coursing through Red and Green.

◆ Reach spell metamagic to extend spell range by 30'

◆◆ Cast a Spell - Electric Arc - targeting Red and Green (both within 60')

Electric dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 DC 18 Basic Reflex save

Init (Perception): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Sorry for the posting delay and thanks for botting me - been a hectic week at work.

Before the group departs from the battle scene, Fyn tries to examine Junior to see if the malfunctions might have been the result of some sort of deliberate sabotage. Crafting +8 with another +1 from casting Guidance on myself

...

Once Olaf has healed Old Glim, Fyn hefts his staff with a grim look on his face. "Better head down there and see what sort of shenanigans these interlopers have cooked up..."

Ready to proceed.

Fyn sends sticky sap flying out from his staff to try to immobilize Junior.

"Remember, we don't want to destroy it, if possible."

◆ Reach metamagic

◆◆ Cast a Spell
Tanglefoot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Thank you for doing all that work!
