Grakkahn's page

Yup!

Got it, thanks GM!

Should be on the spreadsheet, but Grakkahn is just doing a T10 with Craft (Carpentry) for a 17.

Grakkahn gives Lybram a smile before skirting around Nessian. "You admit that we're winning, then?!" he quips. Spinning his Glaive overhead, he brings it down in a diagonal slash across the man's back.
________
Songbird's Talon (Flank) vs Purple: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 = 201d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
GM, if it is ok with you, I've moved Grakkahn off of the map to flank. If that isn't cool, his attack roll is two fewer and he'll be one space to the right of his current position.

Grakkahn grunts as the flail crashes into his gut. Stumbling back from the force of the blow, he takes a wild swing with his glaive at the surprise assailant but catches naught but air. He spits blood on the ground. Maybe I should have been a Priest of Shelyn like mom said...

He groans.
________
Songbird's Talon (Readied) vs Purple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 T_T
Ha! That was unexpected.

Grakkahn jogs after the others and prepares to strike. "Haha, we seem resolved to take everything by force!" he says to Lybram. At least these are natural foes.
________
Songbird's Talon (Readied) vs Foe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
AoO?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 111d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Giving himself some magical protection, he takes a deep breath and dashes after the others.
________
Stealth (ACP, Untrained): 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 - 2 = 10
Shield up and make noise with the rest of my allies! :)

That supplicant is stone cold, damn! All their fellows cut down to a surprise undead uprising? Nbd, gotta play the Morning Hymn!

Grakkahn takes a step back and slices again with his glaive. He strains to say something, but nothing seems to be coming out of his mouth, while he points at the area in front of him.
________
Songbird's Talon vs Light Green?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 121d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Two 4's and a 5, glad y'all are here to back him up!

Looks like I was moved forward for round 1, works for me!

Grakkahn continues his advance and prepares for enemies to close. This madness has to stop!
________
Will vs Silence Aura: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Move 30ft, ready to swing. Let's hope I don't end up needing those rolls, yeesh!

"Same here, we don't have time to lose!" Grakkahn agrees. He was going to help us anyways? Why waste our time?! We could have come back to fiddle at some boxes!

"Maybe I could cover some of the holes?" Grakkahn offers. Quickly, however, he gets waved off as his 'help' isn't really living up to the promise.
________
Perform (Untrained, Aid) vs Lead: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Nothing here :( I think this is the only one we can potentially make left before we have to take the L.

Grakkahn tries to help someone listen to the lock of the Devil Dial, but otherwise has no choice other than to let those more skilled than he do their work.
________
Perception (Aid) vs Lead: 1d20 ⇒ 11
Grakkahn doesn't have any of those skills. He could do an untrained for the charisma based checks, but, with a -2, I think an aid attempt is his only realistic option here.

"Not like we have another choice to save Absalom..." Grakkahn grumbles in acceptance.
________
GM, you mentioned checks. Do you want us to trial and error or is there a list?

Grakkahn's eyes turn to saucers at the fee. Fortunately, his allies find the words he fails to. That is an insane sum of money!

Grakkahn keeps his glaive in hand, but otherwise seems to relax. Just like the simulations. "Yargos, do we need to lug that around?"

While they're giving the place a quick search, he will sweep the area with Detect Magic.
________
Spellcraft?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Spellcraft?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 lol let's hope we don't need these.

Grakkahn's eyes widen and he jogs up to Iladora. "We can take these two, no problem!" he boasts, giving her a smile and a nod. He takes a balanced stance with his glaive in hand and waits for them to close.
________
Readied!
Mwk Cold Iron Glaive vs Foe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 171d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

GM, Grakkahn has shield up (hence the activation at every door), not mage armor. Same bonus numerically, but the type and duration are different. Move to current position, ready to strike!

After warding himself, Grakkahn follows after Theron, both hands on his glaive. What a creepy place to go hunting zombies and skeletons. If they were strong enough to take out three guards, I hope we haven't gotten in over our heads!

On the way...
"Oh, well, nothing as grand as that. I'm a carpenter! The winter season is slow for me, so I work for the Society to make ends meet and find some inspiration for my craft. They even paid for my schooling!" Grakkahn explains, beaming. "My father is a retired gladiator in Tymon, so he taught me a few tricks to stay alive," he explains, looking at the glaive.

Granary...
Grakkahn frowns at the sight. Kneeling before the corpses, he whispers a soft prayer and closes their eyes. "So... undead isn't really an area I know about. Do we need to, uh, do something to these bodies?"
________
GM, wand of shield will be activated before every door. Is everyone alright with Grakkahn standing in front for AoO's, then moving out of the way for everyone else? He can just stand second too, if people prefer.

Grakkahn walks with his glaive resting on his shoulder, its ribbons swaying with the wind. That's a tale of caution if I've ever heard one. I wonder how many times Tymon's been on the brink of calamity without ever knowing...

"Iladora, right? You seem ready for action!" he notes.

Grakkahn offers his hand to Yargos. "Grakkahn. Carpenter."

Now that the fighting is over and the prisoners are safe, he stows his piton and checks over any of the unconscious thugs for items of value.
________
Perception?: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Spellcraft?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Detect Magic while people talk!

Grakkahn gives the fleeing thug a nod and runs for the prisoners. With hostilities at an end around him, he takes a hand off of his weapon and grabs hold of the chain.
________
Move to current location, standard to grab chain. If Theron's spike doesn't hold, he has more to add! GM, do you want checks or is this a "number of players helping" thing?

Grakkahn moves up and swings his glaive at the thug attacking Lybram. "Make a hole to push through!" he calls out to the others.
________
Songbird's Talon vs Blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 261d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
It sounds like the prisoners are snagged on something, correct?

Haha Theron, I was thinking similarly! Grakkahn's got pitons and a hammer (a sledge to, as the GM deems appropriate) to help on that front.

"Quickly, we need to save them!" Grakkahn whispers, pointing to the prisoners. His knuckles whiten around his weapon. Why make them suffer to their deaths? Murder is bad enough, let alone being cruel about it!
________
Damn, thy aren't messing around! If nobody is opposed to rushing in, Grakkahn would like to do just that! :) If we can take actions prior to our heroics, Grakkahn will tap himself with a wand of Shield.

Qstor: Is the "2" part of Alton's name, or is there a story about Alton Hilltopple 1?

Grakkahn shivers. People living here is a testament to their hardiness and adaptability! One hand on an upright glaive wrapped in evenly spaced ribbons, the young man leans against a wall in the Soggy Piper.

"Excuse me, Mr. Bartender, do you know where Torsen's Maw is?"

1-2 times per day works for me! I understand that this will be fast moving.

Ninja dotting now!

Thanks GM, great game! Chronicle looks good to me! That wand of command undead is sweet!

Grakkahn is visibly uncomfortable as his allies debate one another. He looks back and forth among the speakers as they present their case.

I don't even know what to think. She isn't harming us, but serving Urgathoa sounds... pretty bad. And if what Korum says is true, about her mind devolving, then we probably should. I can't apply that logic to people, regular people, but for a zombie? It makes sense, but still puts a bad taste in my mouth. This is our job though, we're on the Society's payroll and the Society wants to make nice with the Pharasmins. If word of this got out, and boy do people like to talk, that'd ruin that relationship and fall on us for doing it. I wouldn't be able to continue my schooling, the Society wouldn't pay for it after I lied to them! "I, uh, I don't know how to flower this up right, but, um, I think we have to kill her. It feels awful, but I have too much at stake to take this risk, and I'm not lying in my report," he confesses. Being a Pathfidner is hard...
________
No problem with the GM's discussion post of our headcannon being the ending for our characters!

[dice=Diplomacy]1d20+8

Lol, apparently in the best light possible!

Grakkahn keeps his glaive in hand, but with several allies opting for conversation, he waits to see how things develop. Is that a talking zombie? Or is this something more sinister?

1d20 ⇒ 10

What happened to the Magic Missiles? We nuked some mooks with them, get this guy too! ;) All this missing is making us frontliners look bad, which, I'm pretty sure, is antithetical to a caster's purpose in life :P Side Note, I do love me some Magic Missile. Sometimes you just need a little damage right now and it just delivers!

LOL, he reminds me of the Joker in the motorcycle scene with Batman. HIT ME!

"If you want to die, then... lie back down again?" Grakkahn fumbles, caught entirely off-guard by the man's apparent lack of self-preservation. He'd rather die? What has he been through?
________
AoO (Bless) vs Svilennius (Total Defense): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 141d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Songbird's Talon (Bless) vs Svilennius (Total Defense): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 141d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 Come oooooon!

Grakkahn tries to lash out twice with his glaive, but among the flurry of swings from his allies and the quick movements of their foe, it's hard to get the aim just right. Hopefully he goes down before any of us get hurt. I don't want to kill him, but we can't let him keep doing this or hurt us!
________
AoO (Bless) vs Svilennius (Prone): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 101d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Songbird's Talon (Bless) vs Svilennius (Total Defense): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 221d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Grkkahn steps up and tries to angle his glaive into the gap between the shattered vat and Cay, but his strike snags. Hard to get a good swing in, but we can't let off the pressure!
________
Songbird's Talon (Cover?) vs Svilennius (Prone): 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 4 = 31d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Sadness :(
Put the vat zombie token in the wall since it disintegrated. Cay, prone is an AC penalty not an attack roll bonus.

Haha ok, looking forward to it :) It's been a fun one so far. I like the old-school feel and the dungeon itself is well put together (at least from the player perspective). I suppose y'all are fun to play with too :P

Above game curiosity: Has Pathfinder ever decided how Necromancy impacts a soul's journey to the Boneyard and beyond? Does Pharasma care about how undead happen, or more that undead is happening? I'm inclined towards the latter, but I've also never tried to find a loophole in her dogma before.

Grakkahn tightens his grip around his glaive. If he doesn't go peacefully, which I doubt he will, the Pharasmins would definitely want him out. That's a zombie in their crypt!

"I don't think we have much of a choice for peace, he seems to have made up his mind and 'Mr. Marrow' is anathema to Pharasma's doctrine, right?" he points out quietly to the others.

He moves into the room and around the corner, ready to try and handle "Mr. Marrow," if he comes closer.

Songbird's Talon vs Hostile Approach: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Grakkahn nods to Sarzuket. Faith serves him well!

He waits patiently for the others to run their tests before moving on to the next room. "Mechien, is that a standard spell for wizards? How long did it take you to learn it?"

*poaching intensifies*

EDIT: I always forget tripping is an option! That’s something Grakkahn would get in the habit of doing too.

Time to poach the poacher!

Sorry GM, that was sloppy play. I anticipated the possibility of AoO's and should have just included them to begin with! Since I post much earlier than most of the group, I'll check again this evening to post for the round if needed.

Grakkahn swings his glaive around and over Sarzuket's head (mostly confident the little Gnome isn't going to decide to jump as high as he can at this precise moment) at the approaching Skeleton. Instead of stopping the momentum of his first attack, he spins it into a follow up on the other Skeleton.
________
AoO 1 vs Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
AoO 1 vs Blue: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Sarzucket, how did you do the AoE with all the little squares?

Grakkahn stands with Sarzuket as he releases his holy emission. Just in case.

With not one but two allies not dying by touching the statue, Grakkahn will also touch it.

With the holy symbol debate over, Grakkahn joins Korum whenever he is ready in pushing the statue to the side. I think we'd have been reported as "lost to the crypts" if we took those symbols. It'd be great to resurface the lost art, but I think there are limits to the lengths people should go to restoring cultural artifacts.
________
Aid: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 Temp HP
The wand doesn't seem to be Pharasmin in nature. I think we should snag that! Mechien, afaik, you can use that wand no problem. If you were a Thassilonian Specialist (not core or even PFS legal sans boon), then you'd be unable to use that wand (forbidden/banned vs opposed school).

But the fire's out... What's the problem again? :P

Also, holy hell, twenty seven posts in gameplay! *rolls up sleeves* time to get to work!

EDIT: Yay civil inter-character conflict! :D Sidenote, I, for one, welcome whatever challenge justifies the doubling of all our HP by touching a statue!

For safety, Grakkahn follows Mechien in. Hopefully that was the last of it, but you never know!

Curious: What happens if part of a Brown Mold is near a steady source of fire? Does it just double until it fills the space it is in? It is kind of a wonder to me that there isn't more of this stuff in Golarion in general, considering it thrives on heat.

The description is vague on it, but it seems a reasonable interpretation that it does, one step at a time. There's not a good distinction between fire being deliberately brought to the mold, or the mold incidentally being near more fire after doubling. In that way it sounds like an effective fire retardant.

What I'm hearing is that a fire department equipped with bottles of brown mold might be quite effective ;)

Amusing Thought: Brown mold air conditioning! Live in a stiflingly hot place? Get some Brown Mold installed! Assuming you could control it, bet a wizard's figured that out somewhere. Also a fridge/freezer might be made surrounding one. Aaaand know I want to make a "practical" wizard that's off to solve the world's quality of life problems.
