Thanks, Oykiv! I had a fun time, and the chronicle looks good.

Eek, totally forgot about charmed life! Glad I passed it!

Well... worse case, I have to play him I'll just need one more xp, to regain this level after this scenario if I fail the save... and I would end up ahead on the wealth per level. Also, while I appreciate the offers to assist me in buying the spell, I wouldn't accept it. I enjoy playing this guy, and wouldn't be to distraught if I lose the level... so... drum roll

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Hope that is good enough.. LOL.

I'm sitting on a few PP. Could I use them or do I need to spend the gp? And what is the DC of the save?

Ghaenk hands his wand of curing to Malaika, "Would you do me the faovr? And... any chance you have a more powerful spell to help me... that creature really damaged me? I feel like I was hit by a boulder... I'm just not myself anymore."

Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Ghaenk takes a short step back and right to give himself room from the zombies. Raising a hand high in the air, he utters, "Friga...", and a ball of ice forms in his hand. Narrowing his vision on the zombie with the green pants, he hurls the snowball.

Snowball vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 4 = 16 for cold damage of : 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5) = 14 Fort DC 13 or staggered 1rd

Can Ghaenk parry the Wight's slam? I have panache available.

Parry: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13Bah... no luck either way.

Ghaenk stabs at the rower with the yellow shirt, then rolls past him trying to outflank them in the future.

Adamantine Rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 for piercing damage of : 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Ghaenk moves below deck and tumbles past the undead, then stabs at the creature with his rapier.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Rapier: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27 for piercing damage of : 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

Ghaenk advances on the Ulfen and thrusts with his trusty rapier.

+1 Adamantine Rapier: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 for piercing damage of : 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 3 = 9

I'm going out of town tomorrow for my father-in-laws funeral and will be back on Sunday. I'll try to post, but please bot me if you're waiting on me.

Ghaenk rushes into the warehouse and looks up at Beingirr in the loft. "Up there!" shouts the swashbuckler before he launches a ball of ice and snow at the Ulfen.

Snowball (v. Touch AC): 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 4 = 19 for cold damage of : 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 6) + 4 = 18 Fort DC13 or staggered for 1 round

"So much for subduing..."

Ghaenk quickly opens up a nearby crate and shoves the body inside.

"To the warehouse then."

Ghaenk circles the group and steps up to the Ulfen opposite Nightfiend.

Diplomacy Aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

"I should think it a wise thing to line your pockets and shut your eyes!"

Ghaenk would wantto try to talk to the barkeep first for any information. If nothing presents itself, then he'd try to bluff or bribe the guard... forcing their way in if necessary.

I'm assumming the diplomacy aids gave us the last spoiler and that info was shared with the group.

"Let's find that warehouse, but I'd suggest checking out The Rosy Fingers tavern first. Perhaps we can get some information from the proprietor about any new Ulfens frequenting his establishment. That may prove useful before we enterthe warehouse... or perhaps we may even find them there."

Diplomacy(Gather Info from The Rosy Finger): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Ghaenk beams with a smile as he listens to Rika address Skelg. Damn! I'm really starting to like her accent...

"Well, you won't have to worry about Bengeirr's guards... any ideas where we might find him or the theives? Did they say anything about their plan?"

Assumming I can...

Ghaenk rushes across the courtyard, and using Rika's right thigh as a springboard leaps high over the guard. The young swashbuckler does a half-twist as he somersaults through the air landing on the far side of the guard, flanking him with the tiefling. Facing the guard in a low crouch, he springs forward and thrusts his blade up under the guards chin.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Adamantine Rapier: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 2 = 22 for piercing damage of: 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 3 = 11

If I can't, then I'll step up next to Riza's right and attack with the above rolls, less the flanking bonus.

Can I move to a flanking position to Rika? The battle map doesn't show grids there, so I'm unsure if I can.

"Rika! That creature... Pratt, is it? He looks confused!"

Surprise Round

As I suspected... "Wrong choice, friend!"

Ghaenk, anticipating the attack, draws upon his orcish powers to form a ball of snow and ice in his right hand and hurls the ball at the guard with the blue cape.

Arcane Fizzle (<=15%): 1d100 ⇒ 89
Snowball vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 4 = 15 for cold damage of : 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 4) + 4 = 22
Fort Save DC13 or staggered 1 round

Round 1

Immediately following his arctic attack, Ghaenk shuffles forward angling himself slightly to his left, hoping that his distraction may give Rallas the angle to flank their assailant. Drawing his rapier as he moves, the swashbuckler takes an offensive posture and thrusts his blade into the warrior's gut.

Adamantine Rapier: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 for piercing damage of : 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

Assumming my rapier hits...

"You have tasted my blade once! Care for another?!?"

Swift Action Intimidation(Demoralize): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 Shaken 1 round

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

"That's a smart, lad," Ghaenk begins to move to go inside. However, clearly sensing they mean to harm the group, he rests his hand on his rapier and tries to warm his friends. "See... nothing to get upset about here" Ghaenk looks quickly between the Pathfinders and the northmen. Shifting his eyes back and forth, trying to direct everyone's attention to the lumbering hulks.

Bluff(Secret Message): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

"GENTLEMAN!" the swashbuckler shouts then stops to looks at Rika. "and lady... right? He shrugs at Malaika and Rallas before conntinuing. "This is about to go sideways! I suggest we all take a deep breath and reconsider this aggresive behavior. We... all four of us... including the quite terrifying Lady Rika... " Ghaenk smiles and nods to the tiefling, "We... don't want to fight you. We have been sent her by Venture Captain Adril Hestram to see to his personal friend, Skelg, and find how we may assist him. I'm sure if Skelg knew who has come to call upon him, he would surely want to see us. Now, please go inform him that Garrison Frostmane and the Pathfinders are here to help him."

Just in case, Ghaenk rests his hand upon the hilt of his rapier.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

The young Taldan walks briskly through Absalom admiring the varied architecture of this eclectic city although he seems put out and rather impatient with his fellow Pathfinders that insist on making unscheduled stops along the way. All the same, he doesn't show his displeasure but keeps a permenant grin upon his face.

As they walk past a market, Garrison... this young man's given name although everyone in the Society know him by his nickname, Ghaenk... skewers a red apple from a vendor's cart with his rapier. A quick, deft flip of a copper coin resolves the matter with the young female attendant who blushes as he tips his cap.

Crunch! "Delicious. Thank you kindly, miss." He considers Rika as they make their way to Skelg's mansion. "So... do tieflings eat? Like, normal food? Or what? I mean, well... I've never worked with your kind." He smiles up at Rika and gives a hopeful smile.

I'll bring a 2nd level wizard, named Bryndarynn.

I can bring another character. I have a few between 1st and 2nd level. Happy to do that.

What tier are we playing?

I'm seeing a 1st, two 2nd's, me at 4th. From the recruitment thread we have another 4th in Theadric Greyhood and a 2nd in Stonegrin Strongale.

That is a APL of 2.5. I'd rather bring a lower level character if we are going to play the low tier.

I'd like to submit Ghaenk for this scenario. He's a human sorcerer1/swashbuckler3. His skills are bluff +9, diplomacy +8, Intimidate +8 and sense motive +6. He's untrained in linguistics. A little bit of his personality is in his profile.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for GMing the scenario. I had a great time.

Reviewing the chronicle, I noticed a mistake. It was MY mistake. Above, I told you Ghaenk is Liberty's Edge. Most of my characters are. However, Ghaenk is Scarab Sages. Could you please fix my chronicle, sorry!

Thanks again.

"Excellent! We shall pass the news along to our Venture Captain." Ghaenk says with a wide grin. "I do believe you have made a wise decision today, Sander." With that, the impetuous young turk bows and departs.

Error in my dice roll syntax. My apologies.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 That should do it, but a few aid another can't hurt.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, we did find her safe and unharmed. She is currently with her father having a reunion of sorts." Ghaenk beams a smile at Bryton. "I believe the Pathfinder Society will be receiving some financial support for military campaign against the Worldwound as a result of our efforts in Thalia's kidnapping."

Ghaenk shifts a little in his posture and stance, trying to look impressive and more worldly than he feels or truly is. "Which brings us to you, Consul. The Society would be much obliged if you would assist us by providing military support in the campaign against the Worldwound. Perhaps the Eagle Knights could head to Mendev in recognition of our support here in Sauerton. Not only would the Society think kindly of you, but helping secure victory against Worldwound would surely benefit this community... and help solidify your position here as Consul. What say you?"

[dice+Diplomacy] 1d20 +8 [/dice]

I'm back. Sorry for the delay but I've been trying to catchup on several threads. The following is assuming that Fimbir shares his finding with the group.

Upon seeing the documents, Ghaenk blurts out, "By the gods! I'm sorry Thalia, but your father's involvement in nefarious affairs related to the key positions and offices of local government are confirmed. He must be brought to justice! It also appears that Sander Bryton has been involved."

Turning to Koriana and the Pathfinders, he continues, "These documents, along with Thalia's testimony, should be enough to convict Thalia's father. As to Bryton, perhaps with this knowledge, we can persuade him to provide military assistance."

Grabbing the manacles from his belt, he quickly cuffs Koriana. "Let's pay Bryton a visit. I'm going to enjoy this conversation."

Sorry for the delay. Traveling yesterday and been at the hospice home this morning.

"I'm not sure we can trust your words, Koriana." Ghaenk turns to his fellow pathfinders, "I'd prefer to trust in Thalia. Justice should be served to her father if he was involved in this."

Ghaenk looks to the Silver Warden, then to Thalia and finally at the shopkeeper, "You do, don't you?"

"We're looking for Pyrgo, have you seen him? We would like to find him... and speak with him."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

"Good Bessie.... nice Bessie... Ghaenk says calmly as he passes behind the bovine making sure not to step in anything that is steaming. He manuevers opposite of the Silver Warden and attacks the last dog.

Flanking Raier: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 = 20 for damage of: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

I'm going to be fairly scarce this week. My wife's father's health has taken a turn for the worse. He has been battling cancer for 2 years. Last week we were informed that it has matasticized into his stomach. He has been moved to hospice care. The whole faimly is congregating in Florida (we live in Kansas City) where her dad lives. I'll try to post when I can.

I will be home next Sunday and should be back to a regular posting schedule.

Ghaenk takes advantage of the Wasp flanking the dog to attack.

Flanking Rapier: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26 for damage of : 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Ghaenk races up towards the cow. Then, using the bovine as a vault, he leaps high above the dog, flips midair and lands on the far side of the beast.

Double move, tumbling past the dog. I'll parry/riposte if attacked.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Parry if Attacked: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Riposte Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 for damage of : 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

[dice=Aid Perception] 1d20 +5 [/dice[

Know(Local): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Ghaenk tries to recall if he's heard the name of Pyrgo before or any one else that may fit the description.

"What did this Taldan man look like? Do you know his name?"

Sorry, The use of the word "negotiate" wasn't meant to signify diplomacy. I fully intended to intimidate him to turn over Thalia unharmed.

Know(Local): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 3

"I should think now is the time for negotiation..." Ghaenk sizes up the captor. In the calmest voice he can muster, Ghaenk continues"From my count, you are horribly outnumbered and out skilled. The wisest course of action would be for you to release young Thalia, lay down your arms and leave. We have no issue with you. We will let you leave unharmed... should you choose another course of action, blood may be spilled today... it won't be mine."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Ghaenk follows the over-zealous Pathfinders but with some caution. There could be more traps here.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Ghaenk taps himself with his Wand of Cure Light Wounds.

UMD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
WandCLW: 1d8 ⇒ 8

"I agree, we should check upstairs first"

Ghaenk presses the attack.

Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 for damage of : 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Gahenk, how do you have a snowball with caster level 4. 1 sorverer, +2 magikal knack + ???

Varasian Tattoo: Conjuration from the Tattooed Sorcerer archetype

Ghaenk moves to the door, and flinging it open, he closes the distance with the archer. (blue)

Move Action: 15' x2 to the door through difficult terrain. Move Action: Open the door and 10' to blue archer. Will use 1 panache point if attacked to parry and repost.
