Grigor Liliacul's page

Saturday is my day away most of the time (that is local game days, that I'm in charge of. So sorry I didn't post yesterday.)

Day job: Craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

crossbow,in melee: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 4 = 15 for 1d8 ⇒ 7

Grigor fires, using his now unobstructed line of fire, hoping to slow down the barbarian before he is able to inflict yet more damage.

crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Grigor fires another crossbow bolt, aiming for the lone enemy to the northeast, then reloads his crossbow as he steps into cover.

Grigor moves along to get a clearer shot as he reloads his crossbow.

crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Grigor attempts to return fire at the mage with his crossbow, but sends the bolt scattering off of a pillar instead.

Grigor helps in gathering papers, retaining human form now that we definitely have a light source in the gem.

Grigor steps inside the cave, but lets Durlo scout ahead, just trying to keep the dwarf in view.

If I start losing him, shift to half bat form to pick up darkvision.

"Thus far these challenges seem to be better fit for my skills than all these times we've drawn swords. I'm certain we will have need of your sword again."

disable device, mw tools, trapfinding: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 27

Having given the warning, Grigor sets to disabling the summoning trap while others begin investigating the other rooms. He sets out multiple powders and liquids that don't seem to be standard for how a rogue would disable traps, but might be more specialized for disabling magical spells.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Grigor looks at the gnome statues in the corner. "This fellow certainly thought highly of himself, didn't he? " Taking his attention off the statues and to the rest of the room, he pauses a moment. "Where is the dust? The papers were stacked for the past two years, but there isn't a speck of dust in this place? Something isn't right here...what have we here? Don't step near the sofa, some kind of magic circle is underneath it. See the edge of it sticking out slightly? We often used similar circles at the university for summoning temporary specimens for study."

"Judging by these, I'd say nobody has been here in an awfully long time. I don't think we'll find Fimbrik here."

Grigor begins checking the dates on the papers to see if they are the most recent editions.

Take 10 for an 18 on knowledge local if that is needed for find where to start looking for Fimbrick

"What is that supposed to mean? Path? Chamber? Wasn't there a Fimbrik mentioned in the notes under the Wisp? This seems to be getting more complicated instead of simpler."

I spent my 1pp for one after confirmation. I was assuming I got back after one was asked for. In interest of time, I'll assume the opposite.

"You said a wayfinder was needed? I have one here." Grigor pulls out his wayfinder.

Circling the cemetery before finding a location for his next distraction, Grigor sees Hannah exiting the mausoleum. Seems I have bought enough time. Now to find out if this has paid off.

Grigor lands just outside the cemetery gate, taking human form and meeting back up with the party. He seems out of breath, "I trust this venture proved fruitful?"

Is the cemetery the size of the map, or is there more? If there is more, I'd like to fly to another location off map, to make another crash and try to draw him farther away and buy more time.

Seeing things aren't going well, Grigor flies to a mausoleum a ways to the southwest, hiding where it shields him from the priest. He lands, transforming to his half bat form and looking for anything to make noise. Knocking over tools, hitting the mausoleum with a stick, whatever tools he finds available. Once he's found a way to make a loud crash, he changes back into a bat and flies away from the mausoleum to watch the priest's reaction.

Grigor approaches the cemetery in bat form, and does a circle around the cemetery looking for any potential threats, before landing near the northern mausoleum and waiting.

Still in bat form, Grigor keeps to the ceiling and flies past the scorpions into one of the side tunnels.

Double move, so can't transform back this round.

Grigor flies down from the rafters to the basement looking for another out of the way place to land down there.

Grigor enters in bat form, flitting about the rafters before finding a place with a good view of the entire room to survey for trouble.

As the group leaves to head to the Wounded Wisp, Grigor speaks up. "We'll need to be on our best behavior in this tavern. A lot of famous and not so famous pathfinders frequent this place."

Purchases:
479 Gold

135 Wand of Summon Monster 1 (CL 3, 9 charges) [off chronicle]

leaves 44 gold

Grigor tries to press the advantage to take out the troglogye, stabbing with his sword cane and taking a bite at it, going at it with a savagery he hasn't exhibited to this point.

swordcane, bless: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 1 = 19 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
bite, bless: 1d20 + 1 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 1 - 5 = 14 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

(Didn't add flanking or prone to either attack)

Grigor turns into a man-bat, armed with his sword cane and fangs. He uses his sword cane to strike at the Troglodyte.

swordcane, bless: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 1 = 13 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 (Is he prone or standing after the fall (+4)? And I didn't add +2 to hit if I'm flanking.)

Grigor transforms into bat form to go scouting outside.

Grigor steps into a flanking position, hoping he can catch the croc by surprise, and then stabs at the animal with his swordcane.

swordcane, flank, bardsong, bless: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 14 for 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3 damage.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 for 1d8 ⇒ 5

Grigor tries to put a bolt into the crocodile before steppig back to clear the lane for Hannah and drawing his swordcane. (Hold crossbow I offhand after firing.)

"While you get dressed, do you know anything in this tower? We believe we cleared the floors below, but we haven't gone up. "

Grigor moves into the room with his crossbow, having switched back after the death of the Troglodyte. He takes aim and fires at the frog, getting his first unobstructed shot in this fortress.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"I hope we will still have a comrade to return this to. This place is a bloody mess. For all we know, he might have been one of the skeletons we found earlier. I do agree we should check the door before ascending."

Dropping his crossbow, Grigor draws a blade from his cane, discarding the scabbard and stepping up to engagethe troglodyte, hoping to have better luck than he had with his crossbow.

swordcane: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

drop crossbow(free),draw swordcane(move),5' step, attack

Still having issues with Paizo. And I had a couple of readied action posts eaten, and I didn't get dice in the last one, but did a short post trying to get something through. Rolling the ready and normal in case you will allow the ready to happen when the trog charges (since that would have set off the action.

readied crossbow,cover,(didn't add charging): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 4 = 11 for 1d8 ⇒ 5

readied crossbow,cover,melee,(didn't add charging): 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 4 - 4 = 0 for 1d8 ⇒ 7.

Grigor fires a shot as the trog closes with Sigrid, quickly reloading his crossbow to fire a second shot at the troglodyte.

Grigor takes a step to the side,reloads the crossbow, and readies an action to fire at the trog if it tries to cast or advance.

Grigor puts away his rapier and draws his crossbow back out during the lull in the fighting.

Grigor puts away his crossbow and moves into the room.

With Sigrid farther forward, Grigor hopes that there will be a better opening. He reloads his crossbow and fires again, but misses once again.

crossbow,bless,cover,melee: 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 4 - 4 + 1 = -3

crossbow,cover,melee,bless: 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 4 - 4 + 1 = 3

Grigor takes a quick look at his dwindling supply of bolts, loading one into his crossbow and firing it at the southern trog. Once again his aim is high as he tries harder to avoid hitting Sigrid than actually hitting his target.

Grigor moves around the stairs looking for an angle to fire his crossbow, finally targeting the southern enemy, but once again shooting too high as he avoids Sigrid's head.

crossbow,cover: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 4 = 3

"Actually, I may be able to assist with that. It isn't my strength, but I'll see what I can do." Grigor pulls out a lockpick kit and begins working on the door.

disable device: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

With the threat gone, Grigor changes back to his human form.

Grigor flies to the far end of the room, trying to stay close to the ceiling to avoid getting the attention of the skeletons, then turns into a man/bat form.

Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Move action to fly to spot. Standard action to change shape. Picking up bite attack in the shape change shape.

Grigor in bat form flies just outside the edge of the tower, trying to get an angle at seeing in the secret door when it is opened.

One bat does not leave with the others, instead staying above he party, waiting for the next move.

Wincing both at the acid attack on the bats and at the bats attack on Durlo, Grigor takes another tact, changing into bat form and takes off into the bat swarm, trying to screech at them to see if he can influence their direction.

1) I have no handle animal.
2) I don't believe being a bat actually lets you speak bat.
3) I have no rulings or evidence this should actually have even any chance of working.
4) In spite of all that, it still sounded fun, and I'll probably never ever have another chance to try it.
5) I'm ok taking splash damage.

The proper stategy here is obviously, if I can't beat them, join them. If I turn into a bat can I just be part of the swarm? :)

Grigor attempts to push the lizard off of Durlo's body. "What healing resources do we have available."

No longer having hope of pulling Durlo to safety with the door open, Grigor draws his swordcane and stabs at the lizard, hoping to drive it back. "Get back you foul beast!"

swordcane: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 damage.

Grigor rushes forward to the door, closing it, hoping to keep the lizard from the dwarf.
