Gharkka's page

I have a question about ship boarding.

The ships are grappled. The captain of my ship decides to board the other one first.

Now, the battle between the "primaries" starts as a normal combat.
Is my character forced to start the combat on the enemy deck? Can't he choose to stay on its own ship's deck and use ranged attack instead?

I was looking at the example for the new rules for bargaining in Ultimate Campaign. It says:

"The merchant attempts a Bluff check opposed by Orshok's Sense Motive check and succeeds by 4, which makes her Undercut Percentage 6% (base 2% plus 4% for exceeding the check by 4). The merchant's Initial Offer is 12% less than Orshok's price (1,936 gp), and her Final Offer is 6% less than Orshok's price (2,068 gp)."

But in the section:

"Unfair(Sense Motive): If the result of the buyer's Appraise check leads her to believe the seller's Asking Price is too high, subtract 2 x the Undercut Percentage from the seller's Asking Price to get the Final Offer, and subtract 4 x the Undercut Percentage to get the Initial Offer."

Firts, it should be Sense Motive instead of Apprise. But, most important, it says that in the particular case the Initial Offer should be 4xUndercut Percentage (6%)= 24% instead that only 12%.

Which is the right rule?

Send it to me, please.

Gharkka nods to Elendyr.
"If possible, I'd like to avoid to use my glaive on these poor villagers."

Then she points a finger towards an ally, where there is one villager sleeping on some crates, the other villagers don't seem to be near him.

"We could take him in the house that the others are ispectioning and try to question him." then she is distracted by what is happening at Malaswyn. "But first, I should help Malaswyn inside there" She joins Malaswyn, entering the house.

Perception Roll, looking for some isolated villager:

1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20

"All this is terrible. Look at the people! We do not know if they are hostile to us, we should try to approach someone"

Gharkka looks around seeking a lone villager nearby.

Gosh, sorry for the Geography mess :P

"Let's try upstream, even if I don't think this will make the "girl" desist on stopping us"

"Whatever that thing on the bridge is, she is not going to give us a warm welcome to Sandpoint. I sense a great evil coming from her."

"Indeed, she said so. What I would like to know is if this girl is a threat to us, or is here to help"

Detect Evil on the girl

Will save:

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Gharkka can't be fooled by some trickery like this, and rests quite well when she is not on guard.

"I say we should stay here, the cabin is no safer than this place, and as Malaswyn said, we would only tire ourself"

Perception roll
1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

I will do my watch turn in the darkest hours of night, when my orcish lineage will prove quite useful.

There is plenty of work to do before resting, thinks Gharkka looking at Miriel.

"Mordecai, will you help me collecting some wood? We need it for a campfire, and I want to prepare small stack all around the perimeter of the camp, in case we need to swiftly light up this place"

Then she starts collecting wood, preparing said stacks, and looking for anything that could help in organizing the defense of the camp.

If needed:
Perception:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15
Survival:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

When ready to leave, Gharkka leads you to the clearing.

"This way, I will guide you to the clearing.says Gharkka when the pyre is set on fire
"Once there, we will try to make the spot a little more defendable.

To Elendyr: She turned and smiled, you say? Then I fear that something terrible is happening back in the cabin. We should hurry.

Then Gharkka starts running in the forest, anxious to reach the cabin. When she is received by Malaswyn, and learns about the sad end of Rana, her heart is filled with sorrow.
Poor woman is her only comment.

Then asks Elendyr to give the others a full report of what they discovered in the forest.

Forest:

Forest:

Well, I think I'm with those who went in the forest... :D

[ooc]For the avatar, I had one I'd like to use. But I think I have to choose among only paizo ones, am I right?

@ those who are in the forest

Gharkka gets closer to these pair (60 feet at least) and uses her divine power to detect evil emanating from those two human, first the old woman, then the large one.

Should we go to that clearing? We could defend better in open space than among the trees.

Gharrka returns from her patrol, and sees the others ready to leave.

"Here I am. I've found a good clearing in the forest where we could camp. It's not far from here. Yet, I noticed something wrong, the forest seems unusually quiet. We should keep our eyes open."

@DM:

I'm going to take a look around the cabin, then. If we can avoid camping inside here, we will. Ghaarka gives another disgusted look at the rotten rests on the floor.

Then, she leaves the cabin.

Gharrka is looking for a place better to camp, not too far from the cabin. If nothing is found, she get the chance to collect some woods for a firecamp.

Survival roll:

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

"Thank you, Rana, I won't stress you anymore." Gharrka gently took Rana's hand in a sign of greetings, then she turned to Miriel.

"Not much, it will be dark in one hour or two. I renew my advice to scout a little outside the village, maybe we could find some other clues of what is happening, before entering it. Or maybe find a better defendable place than this rotten cabin, if things will get too dangerous."

"You said other priests were still in the village?" asked Gharrka listening about the presence of a priest of Shelyn "Were they also driven mad as the other villagers?"

While the others kept going their questioning, Gharrka took a look at the drawing of the tatoo, brainstorming on the information Rana and Miriel gave about it.

these are my Knowledge(religion) rolls for the tatoo and the little girl

tatoo: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
little girl: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Gharrka nodded at Earnest, visibly worried from what she heard. Then she said "At first I thought that this would have been the deeds of some vicious creatures, orcs or gnolls, as often happens in mountain villages like this one. But after what we listened here..."

She knelt down near Rana, looking at her wounds, badly infected. "These wounds need to be treated as soon as you can." said to Malaswyn.

Then she joined Earnest in the survey of the cabin. "I doubt that Rana will be willing to go back to Scarlet Hope, after what has happened to her". Then, looking at the mud and rotting bones in the floor she said "Yet, we can't even leave her here. She needs a clean place where she could recover from her wounds"

"Maybe we could scout a little around the village, while Malaswyn assists Rana, and Elendyr makes her some questions. We could find a better place to camp, maybe an abbandoned farm or a shepherd's hut. And maybe some clean dress to replace those rags" said looking at the cloth covered with mud and blood that Rana was wearing.

I like it, can I start posting or should I wait until tomorrow?

And which style do you want the game to be played? First person or third person?

I'm fine with Monday, my sheet and background in the profile are complete.

Here is my HP roll for second level

1d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

All right, I've almost inserted everything in the sheet on the profile. A little bit effort and it will be ready

Sure, ulgulanoth, but can you tell me in which format should I post the sheet, please?

Here is my sheet, have a look at it:
