Gresh's page

Gresh will assist in carrying the unconscious Master Vilk to the residence of Master Vilk. Just before that, Gresh will attempt a heal check and perform a lay on hands.

Heal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

mercies remove the sickened and fatigued conditions
LoH: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

Gresh nods in agreement to the words of Lady Bel.
”Lady Bel speaks plainly and true. Let us help you return to Master Rutowski a new man.”

Assist Bel
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Right. That is why I thought some other mechanic was in play, since we could have gotten him, at most, to indifferent. His tone is definitely not indifferent. It seems, to me, solidly in unfriendly and pretty much hostile. So, not sure what further rolls would/could accomplish if he's already at indifferent, yet clearly hostile. I'll assist/aid either Bel's or Grippli's roll. Whomever posts first.

"While it seems you have been wronged in the past, killing those responsible will not change the past. You will not be taking the life of Master Rutowski tonight or any night in the future. This I swear by the light of Iomedae." responds Gresh to the clearly hostile wolfman.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Is there some other mechanic going on or we were only able to move him from hostile to unfriendly with a roll of 35? 29 (bel) + 2 (gresh) + 2 (lem) + 2 (neal).

"Master Vilk, this disease has clouded your mind. As my comrades have already stated, your life has been one of service to a greater good. There can be no higher calling for us mortals. Your lessons, as Swordmaster, have empowered generations of Pathfinders to save innumerable lives. Please do not force us into this confrontation, but your murder spree ends tonight. You will not take another life. You can accept our offer of help or not. If you do not, we will stop you." Gresh says with a steely voice.

I will assist Bel then since she was the first to post.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Gresh is out of breath by the time he reaches his comrades. He approaches to the sounds of a conversation.

Gresh pauses a moment to catch his breath before speaking. "Master Vilk, as my comrades must have told you already that we are here to save lives. We want to help you, help yourself." Gresh says, as he gestures to himself, his comrades and the old wolfman.
Gresh continues, "We have been told that a cure for your condition can be created. We have obtained the ingredients. You can become what you were meant to be, a man and face justice for your crimes."

Gresh pauses while studying the old wolfman's reactions. He is also waiting on his comrades before continuing...

I want to allow Bel/Grippli a chance to talk as well. I'll hold my last question to Master Vilk in a spoiler to be asked after others have had a chance. So as not to preempt combat. I will assist Grippli or Bel.

I am pretty sure the combat will be over by the time Gresh shows up...

Everyone needs to make their own checks...

Gresh feels the door strain under his continued effort...

CMD vs door: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

The door finally gives way allowing Gresh to move into the overgrown area. He is quickly lost and finds himself entangled in the overgrowth...

Gresh starts out after Master Vilk trying to make his way through the collapsed structure. His path is blocked by what looks to be a flimsy wooden door. He puts his shoulder against it and pushes.

CMB vs door: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

The door doesn't budge...

Can I use another move action to try again or is my second move action a combination of overcoming the obstacle and moving across the next square?

Gresh bows to the Judge saying, "By the blessings and healing light of Iomedae, we were able to save you from those mongrel creatures. I am happy to see you still among the living."

He looks at the drainage grate and back at the Judge asking, "Did Master Vilk escape through that drainage grate? If, so how long of a head start might he have?"

Gresh starts to move towards the opening, stops and turns towards the Judge. "Perhaps Master Vilk said something to you before he left that might help us track him down. Or where he might be headed to next?"

With a smile and toothy grin, Gresh bows to Lemford saying, "You were clearly the most dangerous halfling in the room, my friend."

Gresh will start channeling.

Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Gresh moves to the fallen judge and attempts to determine if she is still alive.

Heal check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Is she clearly dead? Throat torn out... bled out... I assume she is dead since one round of their attacks basically took out Lemford...

Gresh swings, yet again, at the wolfhound in front of him.

(Standard action attack: pa=power attack, ic=inspiring courage, fb=flag bearer, bl=bless)
greataxe vs Red: pa, ic, fb, bl: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 30
adamantine/slashing: pa, ic, fb: 1d12 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 24

(confirm crit chance)
greataxe vs Red: pa, ic, fb, bl: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 30
adamantine/slashing: pa, ic, fb: 1d12 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 23

With a great over the head swing of Peacekeeper, Gresh splits the wolfhound in half, spraying blood across the room.

Gresh swings Peacekeeper again at the mongrel dog-like creature.

(Standard action attack: pa=power attack, ic=inspiring courage, fb=flag bearer, bl=bless)
greataxe vs Red: pa, ic, fb, bl: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 11
adamantine/slashing: pa, ic, fb: 1d12 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 16

(I will use my reroll at +1)
greataxe vs Red: pa, ic, fb, bl, gm: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 19
adamantine/slashing: pa, ic, fb: 1d12 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 21

The swing of Peacekeeper appears to miss its mark, but at the last moment the arc is deflected by an unseen force and the blade strikes deeply into the flesh of the creature.

Gresh is not taking the rage
Has anyone performed knowledge checks on these? Guessing nature

kn:nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Gresh slashes at the closest wolf-like creature with Peacekeeper, shouting at it in a sing-song language.

Standard action attack: pa=power attack, ic=inspiring courage, fb=flag bearer, bl=bless
greataxe vs Red: pa, ic, fb, bl: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 23
adamantine/slashing: pa, ic, fb: 1d12 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 17

Gresh moves forward to engage the apparent wolves, drawing Peacekeeper and shouting in a sing-song voice.

Taking a double move and drawing my greataxe

The inspire courage effect is +2 at Bel’s level, not +1

Gresh will move to the fallen figures and perform a Heal check on each to determine their status.

Heal check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Heal check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

For good measure Gresh channels the healing power of Iomedae, filling the fallen with her light.

Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 1

If they appear stabilized, Gresh will draw Peacekeeper and follow the others into the courthouse.

”We were told that the Judge spent most of her time at the courthouse. We should go there first.” says Gresh while looking to others for confirmation...

It has been referred to, above, as an Herb. I would presume a knowledge nature check to gather. Though the patch appears, on the map, to be quite large...

Gresh awakens, looking up to see Bel Canto standing above him. He stands up, brushes himself off and bows to Bel Canto saying, "Thank you Lady Canto for your assistance".

He surveys the recent battlefield, commenting "Well done comrades, I knew you would prevail against these vines. I have never seen their like before. I pray to never encounter them again."

"We should gather what we need of the wolfsbane and depart this place. We do not want to be late in stopping the next fatality this night."

As the others are gathering the wolfbane, he will take out a cure light wounds wand and use it on himself.

cure light wounds wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
cure light wounds wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
cure light wounds wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
cure light wounds wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
cure light wounds wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
cure light wounds wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

I'll roll once I am conscious.

Once I am conscious, can I take the average CLW roll (4.5+1) 8 times and be healed for 44hp? Or would you rather I roll 8d8+8 and see what it heals?

Gresh has a wand of CLW in his backpack...

Gresh feels the icy grip of death approaching. With one final call out to Sarenrae he attempts a mighty strike at the vines grappling him.

Using Orc Ferocity. Gresh has the disabled condition for 1 round. Swift action for LoH (2d6+4) and standard action attack vines

LoH: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 5) + 4 = 14

Longsword vs Vine (teal):pa, fb, bl, en, gp: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 7
cold iron/slashing: pa, fb: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 4 + 1 = 13

I'd like to use my shirt reroll for the attack: + 1 for stars
Longsword vs Vine (teal):pa, fb, bl, en, gp, stars: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 10

Not sure what my current hp is at this point. Round 4 says I am at 6/47 and with the entangled and grappled conditions, but you referred to Gresh as unconsciousness. Also as a half-orc, I have orc ferocity, which allows me 1 round of action as disabled when brought under 0 hp. Which, I believe, would still allow me a standard and swift actions.

Gresh grunts in pain as the vine attacks and grabs him. Gresh shouts out in a sing song language, drops Peacekeeper, pulls out a longsword and attacks the vine creature holding him fast.

Swift action Lay on Hands, Free action drop greataxe, move action to draw longsword, standard action attack vine

LoH: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 = 13 (+2/die from fey foundling)

(ic = inspiring courage, fb = flag bearer, bl = bless, en = entangled, gp = grappled)
Longsword vs Vine (teal):ic, fb, bl, en, gp: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 24
cold iron/slashing: ic, fb: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 11

The longsword bites deeply into the fleshy vines.

Gresh attempts to break the entangle and then continues attacking the vine creature.

(move action to break entangle)
strength check against entangle: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

(pa = power atk, ic = inspiring courage, fb = flag bearer, bl = bless)
Greataxe vs assassin vine (teal): pa, ic, fb, bl: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 13 (-2 if still entangled)
adamantine/slashing: pa, ic, fb: 1d12 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 17

Gresh attempts to move out of the entangle and attack the large vine creature that slammed Lemford.

move action to leave the entangle area (10' move), drawing weapon as part of the movement and then attack the large vine

Greataxe vs assassin vine (teal): pa, ic, fb, bl: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 21
adamantine/slashing: pa, ic, fb: 1d12 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 25

Gresh recognizes the danger of the plants guarding the wolfsbane. He will step forward toward the large vine-like plant, pull out Peacekeeper and swing at the creature.

Greataxe vs vine: pa, ic, fb: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 12
adamantine/slashing: pa, ic, fb: 1d12 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 24

Gresh bows and replies, "You have been very helpful Master Rutowski in this difficult situation. I pledge, on my honor, that I will do everything in my power to ensure we not only stop these senseless murders from continuing, but to also save Master Vilk from himself."

He then turns to his comrades, "I believe it is time to retrieve some of the wolfsbane herb from the local forest. Once we obtain the herb we can seek out Judge Pradowca at her courthouse and protect her from Master Vilks' rage."

He pauses for a moment, in thought, then continues turning toward the frog, "I presume either you or your four-legged companion are adept in the ways of the forest and can lead us to a cache of this herb."

”Thank you Master Rutowski. We would also like to save Master Vilk. We have been told that wolfsbane will help him. Our initial contact informed us that the herb was hard to come by here in Ustalav. Perhaps with your extensive contacts, you could point us in a direction to obtain the herb.”

Gresh eyes the pig in the room... Mmmm, bacon...

"Greetings Master Rutowski. I am Gresh, pathfinder and champion of Iomedae. I concur with my other comrades. Our need is great and our cause is just. We need your help if we are going to prevent another senseless murder and save Master Vilk from himself." says Gresh as he bows deeply.

I auto aid for diplomacy whomever is primary, which appears to be Neal

Gresh frowns at the frog as it walks past the manservant, followed by the pig, into the residence. Gresh then removes a pouch of gold from his belt, walks up to the manservant and places the pouch in his hands.

"May the light of Iomedae shine upon your path." recites Gresh, to the manservant, as he walks past the manservant and follows the frog inside.

Gresh grumbles, "The cost of a life here is worth the price of a healers kit... and you two are haggling..." turning away in disgust. He glances back, for a moment, to ensure he remembers the face of the manservant.

Gresh shakes his head in bewilderment, not understanding what the manservant is saying...

With steel in his voice Gresh responds, "But, I do not understand Sir. We have stated that this is a matter of life and death this very night, our cause is just. Surely you understand that tomorrow will be far too late for an audience..."

I assumed all the skill entries we did were for you to roll for us. I auto aid on diplomacy.

I will defer diplomacy to either the frog or Bel. I will aid whichever speaks up first.

”While I understand you are but performing your duties, I need you to understand that if we cannot speak with Master Rutowski immediately, someone will die this very night.”

Gresh pauses for a moment before continuing, ”An audience with Master Rutowski is literally a matter of life and death for some poor soul this night. I swear on my honor as a servant of Iomedae that I speak the truth.”

Gresh clears his throat before saying, "Good day, Sir. As my Halfling comrade stated, we are here to speak with Master Rutowski about a timely and sensitive matter. It is our hope that he is within this residence and able to spare a few moments of his time."

"I suggest we start by ringing the bell. A plan won't help much if the occupant is currently not at home or not able to answer. If Master Rutowski is at home and answers his door, then we can inquire whether he has the time to meet with us and perhaps answer a few of our questions pertaining to Master Vilk."

"If he is not at home, then we could go in search of some of this wolfsbane to help with the recovery of Master Vilk. We can return here after obtaining the substance and try to gain an audience with Master Rutowski at that time."

Gresh frowns, "I suppose I just created a plan... Oh well. Ring the bell..."

”Thank you again Master Erudyta for the information and your service. As my comrade said, it would prove most helpful if we could locate his next target. Though, I suppose, if you had that information we probably would be headed there now....”

”If anyone would have information concerning Master Vilk’s past associations that would his ex-lover, Markov Rutowski. I assume you can bring us to his establishment... Unless you had somewhere else in mind.”

"Thank you Master Erudyta for the information. Perhaps I am not understanding the current situation fully. As I understand the situation, it is believed, by you and others, that Master Vilk, former Master of Blades to the Pathfinder Society, is currently a werewolf. It also believed that he is slaying those that have apparently wronged him, in some way, in the past.... We are here to help stop him from continuing to murder and hopefully cure him of his affliction."

Gresh frowns saying, "I believe my confusion is that you mentioned that Master Vilk has or had been exiled. I presume you mean he has been exiled from Ustalav? If so, why was he exiled? Is it commonly known that Master Vilk is a werewolf? Is being a werewolf what he was on trial for? Or are all these events you have mentioned; exile, trial and the ill-fated tomb adventure all in the distant past or have these events occurred after his return to Ardis four months ago?"

”First off, Master Erudyta, my comrades and I appreciate your help and discretion in this matter. I have a few questions that I hope will allow us to resolve the matter at hand quickly and quietly. My first question is; do you know where Master Vilk resided during these past weeks? Perhaps there are clues there that would shed light on his current whereabouts.” Gresh asks the young master.

He pauses for a moment, in thought, before asking, ”Secondly, you claim that wolfsbane may cure Master Vilk of his affliction. My comrades and I are not familiar with the merchants here in Ustalav that might sell such a rare item. Where might we obtain the wolfsbane, locally, in the amount needed to cure Master Vilk?”

Gresh rises to his feat and realizes he was recently doused with water by the frog in the room....

”Thank you, Mr Frog for the timely cleaning. I do not recall to have had the pleasure of one your kind as a comrade. I am sure you will be a valuable asset to the team.”

Gresh turns toward Bel Canto, ”My lady, I believe I meant what I said...”

He then drops to one knee, places his hands upon the great axes pommel and bows his head, ”I swear in the light of Iomedae, before our comrades in arms and by the strength of Peacekeeper, that I will protect you from harm and rid Golarion of this werewolf infestation.”

Hello! I literally just clicked the thing to reveal my discount code for the 2.0 Bestiary (which isn't supposed to expire until December 2021), but it's telling me it's already redeemed. That shouldn't even be possible since I only just got the code.

Help!
