Chronicle looks good!

Thanks all for a fun run! Looking forward to sharing a table with each of you again

"I've been told I leave a bad taste with others" Grommfell warns.

Wanikawwi stands up and warns Grommfell. "Go away from the fire! You will be burned! I will take care of it." he tells the barbarian.

"From where I stand, you are the one that needs taken care of!" Grommfell swings again and again.

Teja brings a massive blow at Red Giant after finding a weak spot to exploit. The giant falls with a thud. Red Giant out

With Red Giant down, Grommfell can have his actions back.

Almost disappointed that the giant was felled by another, Grommfell looks around for any other foe. Spotting Wanikawwi, he rushes through the tall grass towards the fire as fast as his dwarven feet will carry him.

He strikes at the foe!
Attack roll previously made this round in post above was a result of 18, which I suspect would not hit. But, hopefully Grommfell can set up a flank for someone.

"In for the nugget, in for the lode!" Grommfell cries. In his rage, he remains determined to take the giant down.

Grommfell shuffles ahead to secure a flanking position, then presses the attack.

"That's going to leave a mark" Grommfell grumbles as the woody fist makes contact. "But I can give as well as take."

Grommfell had flank for the above; then Step

"I'm not going to just wait here and be shot at." Grommfell grumbles. "Let me take down the tall pair first, then I'll focus on the other one."

Tightening his grip, he rushes toward the pair.

"Flee?!? This dwarf isn't going anywhere." declares Grommfell.
Nature: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

“You wish for our friendship, but will you stand by your friends? Or will you betray them, so your own light can shine all the brighter?”

"Don't have many too friends to stand by, myself," Grommfell admits. "But, I know if they were to betray me or I, them, that we aren't so likely to be friends anymore. That's just the nature of things."

"As for thinking that I want my light to "shine all the brighter'?" The dwarf shakes his head. "That's just nonsense. Shows that you don't know my kind very much. Me and my friends, we prefer the darkness most every time. Again, that's just the nature of us."

He tightens his grip on his pick, hoping he's made some point.

Just the Nature: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Grommfell doesn't push away the medical treatment, but the grumpy dwarf oesn't offer much gratitude either.

When the voice comes around, he echoes the others

"What they said," he mumbles. " I guess."

Nature: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Grommfell lays into the remaining foe.

Cross-posted w/Bolt Blade, so I am revising to focus on Malicious.

"Enough talk," Grommfell huffs. "If this one wants to end up like its friend, then I can oblige." He dwarf swings his magical pick.

I moved the larger light circle. Please make sure I put it back in the right spot.

Grommfell, do you have Crit Spec of your weapon?

Yes, it is fatal d12

"They never listen." Grommfell mutters as the pick pierces the spirit.

"You'll take the opening to depart, if you are wise." Grommfell threatens.

If Grommfell can tell which spirit last spoke (and it is within 30 feet), he will attempt to demoralize that spirit. Otherwise, he targets red.

Intimidation to Demoralize: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

The dwarf tightens his grip on his magic pick.

Grommfell takes up a position some distance from the fire. He intends to glare at any spirits to force them away. Adding to his threat he brandishes his magical, ghost touch greatpick.

I am heading to a local convention tomorrow. My posting between now and Monday may be limited. Please feel free to bot Grommfell.

"I have been warning you! You will just betray Niishaan and hurt the people! This place will no more be safe!" he exclaims to them.

"If you've come to play 'Fire Watch', you're a bit too late." Grommfell grumbles upon spying the bird-headed creature.

"The human is right, we are with the Pathfinder Society. We've been invited here. Not sure the same can be said about you." he adds. "And what do you mean by 'warning' us? You didn't happen to send a some sort of furry, horned beast our way, did you?"

Pathfinder Society Lore: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Grommfell crosses his arms and mutters, "Look at me, I'm an attacking spirit." His disdain for being asked to participate in a child's game is quite clear.
Intimidation: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Upon spying the cloud, he tries to take in a deep breath.
Fortitude: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

"What manner of beast is that?" cries Grommfell as he displays some unusual prowess. "Certainly don't see many of them down in the mines!"

He draws a pick in case, the beast turns and charges again.

Grumbling, Grommfell gets to gathering.
Athletics: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

However, while they are working on the dessert, there is something that is happening. Salt and pepper fly toward their mix, the masher suddenly shifts when used, and correct ingredients fly out of their hands when the Pathfinders add them to the mix!

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Gromfell ducks as the ingredients fly. "I just knew something bad would happen." He mutters.

"ah! Merci! Erevan! I'm sure it vill be useful! If vous do not vant it, Grommfell, I can take it" Zhamie tells the dwarf sweetly...

"What!?! Oh! No! N-not necessary." Gromfell protests with a stammer, apparently not much used to having others pay much heed to his gripes. "I'll just hold onto it--in case I need it to douse the fire. Or some such." He quietly grumbles, trying to draw less attention to himself.

"Watch the fire. Fend off spirits." Gromfell murmurs. "Seems simple enough."

The dwarf is pleased when the topic turns to food. When offered to crush some berries into pulp, he obliges.
Athletics: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

As the berries give and squish, one can almost see the semblence of a smile forming beneath the grumpy dwarf's thick beard.

Took the ally orb for provisions

By the way, Erevan's prepared 5 lesser elixir of life and will give one to each member of the party.

"What's this for? Shouldn't need it." Gromfell grumbles when handed the elixir. Despite his annoyed protest, it is notable that the dwarf readily pockets the vial anyways.

A dwarf adorned in heavy garb and braided beard, both rather thick, makes his way through the dirt streets. A sizeable miner's pick is slung over his back. Dodging chidren and wooden humanoids alike, he makes no effort to his his annoyance. "Too busy here, if you ask me. Too many people."

"Too much exuberance. Too must joy." he grumbles. "Can't for the life of me figure out why the Venture-Captain would assign me to attend some festival. Never been much of one for parties. Besides, I don't see much worth celebrating around here."

"Now, if this place weren't so crowded, so sunny. If it had a bit more earth piled atop of it,then it might be something worth celebrating, if you were to ask me." The dwarf huffs. "But no one ever does."

Upon spying a gathering of other that he considers looking out of place among the locals, the dwarf approaches. "I assume you all got stuck with this assignment, too." he says. "The name's Grommfell, if you care." The crabby, old dwarf makes no effort to extend a hand or otherwise make any gesture in greeting.

@GM Chronicle looks good. Thanks for running!

@All - Fun run! Looking forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future!

When his unease comes to an abrupt end, Grommfell slows down his swings, catching his breath. Once his heartbeat slows down, the dwarf quietly sets about to the grim task of cleaning his clothes and pick, saying few words in the process.

Collecting his share of the reward, the dwarf contemplates where to head next. Though he is in no hurry to return to Absalom, he has no desire to remain in this land.

"Best to be going, now," mutters Grommfell as he slings his great pick over his shoulder and heads off down the road out of Nidal.

Will save (prior round), frightened 1: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 1 = 11

Grommfell remains uneased by the woman. The repeated waves of negative energy does not improve his disposition towards her.

Uneased by the vision he sees of the woman, Grommfell finds that he cannot temper his attack and instead he strikes out wildly at the source of his terror!

Oops, had to depart before I could finish my turn. If Kereida checks not necessary, then it is Will save vs. Teflar.

Grommfell moved to prevent Teflar from fleeing. He swings his pick bluntly to bring the woman down without killng her.

Will save (DC 16): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

With his pick now glowing with magic, Grommfell inserts himself between the scarecrow and the priestess, unsure as to which poses a threat to the party.
Stride x2

He glares menacingly as a warning to one of the two. "Enough of this confusion! Explain yourselves or your blood shall irrigate this field!"

Simon looks around at the group.

"Is anyone capable of following these tracks?"

Grommfell shrugs. "I've done my share of tracking in days past."

+5 Survival

"Unpleasant beasts," mutters Grommfell as he attempts to keep up with the men on horse back, despite his shorter legs. "And even more unpleasant riders."

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"Missing folk are most likely just Kuthites following the local custom of running into the wilderness looking for pain." grumbles a mountain dwarf with a sizeable miner's pick slung over his back. "Suspect we're more likely to find the dead bodies of them's that got lost rather than some 'rampaging monster'."

Chronicle looks good! Thanks for running!

Thank you all for a fun table and for keeping Grommfell alive! Look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future!

Grommfell moves forward slowly, his pick at the ready. Then, he swings at the creature.

Grommfell gives a brief, appreciative look at the dhampir when he comes to. The dwarf rises to his feet and picks up his weapon.

Since Grommfell is still there:

The first strike fells the dwarf.

Grommfell spends his Hero Points for Heroic Recovery. Move to 0 HP and remove dying condition.

If the creature continues to attack him, I believe Grommfell is then to dying 1.

Enraged at the wounds the monster has inflicted, Grommfell seethes. Tapping into his inner fury, he grabs his greatpick and slashes at the beast.

Melee Strike (greatpick): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

The dwarf retrieves a javelin.
