"It looks like my time running through the city streets also helps running through the wilderness. Although they want to help us prepare food and that means not eating it." She is looks upon the food hungrily. "That will be the biggest challenge." She does what she can to help with food preparation despite the desire to taste all the morsels. She is happy to wave in the other teams as they come in. In part to cheer on their successes and another because it means she is a bit closer to getting the feast. Throughout she is delighted to work with the other Pathfinders and finds this trip to been a very lucky one.
Galvaka furious points the bear away as she tries to match its roar with one of her own. Getting into position to try to scare the bear off herself. Uncertain if the bear position is just waiting to maul someone else, Galvaka waves her blade declaring. "You can't be going mauling people this race! Us was enough."
"This would be like some goblin trial, but all the other trials they gave had a story. Bear eats you is a short story." Galvaka moves forward, she is inclined to barrel into the gave, but she keeps her distance with the others as she gauges to see how resilient the bear is against freezing temperatures.
"I can try to find a new way to stab it!" Galvaka is not excited to see how quick the creature is to grab and throw. She channels some energy to create a minor shield while taking portions of that energy to sharpen her blade and make herself faster. She immediately uses that speed to leap through dimensions, vanishing only to reappear behind the beast, to stab it with a wild swing.
Galvaka just happily looks about the lake and is utterly caught off guard as the bear charges full force. Still she seems still enthusiastic about the idea of combat, but that is tempered a bit as she see how quickly it was to maul Sam. Readying her knife Galvaka steps alongside Corabee as she calls out part of the Pathfinder motto. "Cooperation! You won't eat any of us! Go away!" She arcs lightning into her blade as she tries to drive it into the beast.
Galvaka poses with the praise declaring, "I didn't even burn the ribbon one bit!" She goes forward with this confidence into the wilds as she tries to continue finding a clear path through the blinding weather.
That doesn't turn out well as loses track of the party at a point. She pushes herself, doubling her pace to backtrack and not slow the groups progress.
While pushing herself the limit, she is able to meet up with the party without major disaster.
"Oh no I can try! Not breaking ribbon makes this harder. It works be much easier if I could just patch it."
Galvaka first slides into the ice, but starts to go out of counter as she slides across the frozen lake. Her first instinct it to stab the ice but she thinks better of it.
With a desperate grip she managed to stop herself amid the aching ice. After a moment she lets out a breath and pushes toward the ribbon. "This ice needs to be made stronger if it breaks like this. Only been used three or so times!" Studying the ribbon for a moment Galvaka conjures fire into her hand with produce flame. "I might not be able to just throw for, but flame is versatile. It will keep my hands warm as I sneak ribbon out!"
"Yes Ashun! That sounds right!" Galvaka declares as she mimics the beast. "Big teeth! Big claws!" "We must have scared it off because our knives are even sharper than what it has!" Presented with the challenge, Galvaka throws herself at the obstacle once she has the pole in hand. She pictures the story in her mind and likely is more reckless than her skill can account.
Still she manages to get good speed from the rush forward.
"That is a good idea. The others had some good tips, so I'll check to see if they needed to fix their gear. Galvaka looks around for the Varki team, looking to thank them for their tips and aid. She adjusts her hat empathetically to express how much she took it to heart. Aside from that she eventually asks them, or others, about the issues with gear. [b]"Good thing we have tools to repair because loads of rocks got into our packs and were cutting them up! And they weren't really nice rocks either so I don't think I would have picked them up much less left them there. Did you get any rocks in your gear?"
I'll admit I haven't payed attention to hear if there has been any clarification on how the arcane cascade stance works. Thank you for pointing that out. I have been watching out and I'm glad for the clarification. GM, for this game should I be using the Remaster versions of the cantrips for my spells?
"Well, I'm just sorry. I don't get that," Galvaka ponders as she goes over all the packs as she fits patches and pins onto them. "I know all about chains and links. You need to if you are going to escape manacles. And I don't think teams aren't like chains. Chains you want a lot of the same link, which is boring, and you add more links to make it longer not stronger." "Maybe this can be nice relaxing trip with cold winds and lots of running."
"I wouldn't worry about messing up!" Galvaka cheerfully offers as she tries to keep moving through the frost. "Had a tutor that messed up a lot and learned a bit each time. I learn same way!" Getting her hat right, Galvaka tries to get the lay of the initial tundra, watching the other teams, to try to find some early direction for the best way to keep up.
As the packs start to strain, Galvaka pulls some spare leather and cloth scraps that she quickly keep them from falling apart.
Galvaka happily speaks with Marbin and Ylva as she adjusts her hat like they suggest. She offers any knowledge she has built up scavenging to cobble together makeshift tools. "Hopefully neither of need to put anything together, and I don't think there are going to be good scrapyards out this far, but thank you for the help! I'll be looking for you as we are coming up on the finish!" On the trail itself, Galvaka's talent at navigating cities is at odds with the wilderness, even if she has a better tolerance for the weather. "It is so hard to sneak around if there aren't alleys to duck down."
Galvaka acquires a healing potion to have that ready for the journey. She also acquires more drawing supplies in addition to some other odds and ends. She goes to talk to various merchants to try to learn more about the race. She works on a good song for the team name. She hums and sings as she bounds about and asks questions about the frigid region.
"Oh! Nice song!" Galvaka as she follows the lyrics. She mulls over and mutters to herself as she chants "We won't show wolves any fear,
Galvaka enjoys the bit to her self as she sings it aloud. "I might agree with allies though, a bit too long and maybe remove 'Chew'." Looking toward the powerfully built man, Galvaka questions, "If you are without fail, does that mean you are the reigning champions if you succeeded right? You must be real good at racing, especially if you aren't leaving a trail!"
"I don't think I need as much winter clothes, but I think I can get a discount for only half winter clothes. So I'll get a full set." Galvaka looks at her own clothing before appraising gear. "I'll let you pull around the tents, but I'll make sure to get some tasty food and medicine to bring along. I don't think I need to much more unless it takes us a very long time to race this race."
"Well I would love the hat. I'm getting lots of new clothes for this trip so I would want to see about this new hat too!" She does pause her enthusiasm for just a moment as she gestures toward the air saying, "I don't think I'm short though, just so many others are really tall." "Oh buying stuff!" The thought reminds Galvaka of a question that she turns to the Venture-Captain. "Is there any gear you recommend us get? Should we get sled wolves if we are going to go on a long race?"
Galvaka looks around excited as she enjoys the bit of cold weather. "Oh this is going to be exciting! Maybe even without any fighting and we race? I haven't run really far, but I can do my best." She looks at the Venture-Captain as she stops for a moment to think, "I haven't been this far north, I think at least. Who are the Varki?"
You are only going to want a very limited number of Weapon Potency Runes. I think the idea is it is the because in PFS you can craft equipment for yourself (aside items you might lend to others). So while weapon potency runes are something nearly every character has, you might not craft more than one rune for yourself as opposed to consumables. Also I do believe Crafting rules are changing as well in the new Core rules. From my reading the requirements for needing common formulas are reduced. I'm not sure if those rules will be implemented in PFS though.
Branch goes over to Galvaka and says “Let’s take care of those injuries.” Provided the goblin allows it, he will patch her up. "Thank you! You have treated me very well, and I hadn't gotten to repay you at all." Galvaka puts her blade away to allow easier treatment. "I'll need to fix that. Maybe I'll be able to jump in to save the day with spells, backstabbing and backstabbing spells." Galvaka will offer what aid she can drawing sketches of creatures and decorations that beyond the scope of a rubbing. "Maybe I should learn alchemy since then I could make healing potions that fix wounds too. That or I can learn cooking. Maybe there is a magical cooking brewing spell." "Bah. So much to learn and so little headspace to fit it in."
Thank you for the day job addition. It completely slipped my mind again that this was a quest. Galvaka is still level 2 after finishing this last adventure. I'm not lacking other characters if that could be made easier. btw, I can also do 01-11 (Flames of Rebellion) since it appears that other than phaeton_nz, nobody else has played it. I did end up reviewing, and updating pfstracker for myself, and I have played in 1-11, although I would be happy to use a replay.
Sorry for being slow, I honestly debate with myself whenever I roll downtime.
4 sp. If it isn't on the sheet don't worry about it! I will admit that most of my tracker information is out of date, but that is still largely accurate since I've played only a handful. Congrats to GM Tiger on the milestone!
"Honestly, killing isn't really any gratitude at all. If you need help the Society provides lots of it, but I don't think we can help you with all the talk about taking out strength." Drawing the flask of holy water, she declares, "you don't get to rob our strength!"
With the flask emptied, Galvaka tries to tumble through in the chaos.
Galvaka wakes with a start before settling down. She winces a bit a she feels her wounds trying to keep up, she keeps her speed in check as she responds to Branch, "well I'm still breathing. But they didn't seem to need to do that and they seemed more than alright at fighting." She grabs her blade while taking a breath. "I need a lot more bandages though. They got me good. Can't remember the last time I felt that cold." "Don't like this place doesn't have much color. All the bits have a harder time popping out and makes it harder to draw." She glances over to Ashun as he reviews recipes and Galvaka thinks about it, "the elixirs are the tastiest way to heal, but I do like seeing the way acid explodes. Although not as much close up." Galvaka will rest so her wounds can have time to heal and looks to her spellbook and focuses on an overwhelming campfire.
The goblin sees no reason to turn down a consumable mid-combat as she drinks down the elixir. "Thank you! Very refreshing and much tastier than the healing bursts!" She focuses her attention on the undead fey as she channels another fiery blast around her weapon with flames. "I like being a bit more sneaky, but sometimes you need to just fight everything with fire!"
Galvaka takes a few swings, but her blade goes wild as she looks to land any forceful blow.
"Oh good, you are feeling better! You stay safe, stabbing is really dangerous. Speaking of that!" Galvaka pauses her conversation as she teleports right next to the sinister sprite and takes a swing with her blade.
She gives a violent battle cry as she swings her blade before skittering back to Ashun.
Galvaka is resilient to the cold but the frigid bite of the freezing claw spreads through her body. She takes a glance at Ashun before manifesting a protective shield to try and block the next blow, only taking a bit of the magic to sharpen her blade for a sudden strike. "Enough of that! How about you pick on someone who is slightly bigger than your size!"
Galvaka nods to Bee's statement confirming, "could be magic rocks." "I know I only can keep so much magic in my head. They might have not known the magic to get rid of rocks. Even with my teleport hops, a good deal of rocks will stop me from getting through. The people must have thought the mage was only sort of powerful." Her thoughts wandering back she looks at the door, "I can try and get it open, but key would be easier." She waves a knife at the shadowy walls to add, "especially since I don't know shops here that sell more picks. With all these pages about, they might have left the key scattered somewhere too."
"Oh! They like teaching the talking thing too. Very useful!" Swinging her knife she adds, "but I meant cooperating with you all to stop them!"
Galvaka looks and gives a cheer at the declaration and demonstration of Dinosaur energy. "I didn't even realize there was dinosaur energy! I want-" Focusing her attention on the battle Galvaka nods with the conclusion, "I can maybe help convince them." With a slice she cuts through the air and reappears right next to them with a series of rapid cuts.
