Hayato aka Big Brother's page

Arriving astride the back of what was once a proud warhorse. An average height Tien-Shu man clearly outfitted in the arms and armor of a Samurai dismounts and nods to Lo Tai Po and Ginko. Turning to address the Venture Captain.

Venture Captain Dreng, what is the meaning of this? Do you summon us out into the rain for your amusement?

Eyeing Ginko up and down, clearly trying to determine the prowess of such an elderly Tengu.

Why does the Decemvirate continue to send me on missions with those that clearly belong in the Geriatric Society and not the Pathfinder Society...

I believe I heard you introduce yourself as Ginko. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Hayato, though I'm sure that I need no introduction. My many deeds in service to the society are nothing short of legendary!

Turning his head side to side, seeming to look nowhere in particular, Hayato begins to shout.

Come out, come out, where ever you are! You cannot hide forever Little Sister!

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Ah, I see our "expert" has finally decided to join us. How nice of you!

Let's see if I can strike this creature again before retreating to tend to my wounds.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 - 2 = 18 for Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

After striking the creature, Hayato steps back and retrieves the potion in Dr. Q's hands.

Thank you doctor. This will help me quite a lot.

Shaking his head at Dr. Q's nonsense.

That will really depend on if my dear sister and Seelah can make themselves useful or not. If the creature strikes me again, I may be in grave danger.

I'm at 6HP.

Sparing a glance at Seelah.

Seelah... Do you typically find that plants are evil? Or are you simply one of those smite first, ask questions later types?

At least little sister was disturbed by the shriek as well. I couldn't stand the shame of her mind being stronger than mine...

Ah, sister! I see you've finally decided to join us!

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Attack roll penalty included in following rolls.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 - 2 = 6 for Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

I seem to still be suffering some ill effects from that shriek. Or perhaps it's the multiple wounds getting to me. Dr. Q, are you capable of healing?

Where in the hell is Reiko...

Sister! Hurry up! I feel like we're doing things without knowing your actions...

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Blech... That noise... It's almost as awful as your voice Reiko... Blech...

It feels as though I was saved by there only being 4 of us...

Thank you, Lo Ma, but I think that the potion will be better in the hands of little sister.

Surprised by a tentacle!? This shall not stand!

Using my 1/day Challenge on the tentacle monster. Hayato gains a +1 bonus on damage rolls against that enemy, but takes a –2 AC
penalty against any other enemies. If Hayato is the target of a
challenge or smite made by the target of his challenge, he also
gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to
AC against his opponent.

Sister! Come make yourself useful!

Double move on the 1st round. And move up to attack on the 2nd.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 for Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Ah, good doctor. You see, one of us *did* have rope, but she decided to anchor it to the boulder that we've just crossed. I'm afraid that was the only rope we had. Well done, Reiko!

Reiko is going to pay for this injustice!

Ah, yes doctor. My sister has trouble with a great many things. Even the simplest of tasks prove difficult to complete

Standing up and dusting himself off, Hayato leaves the bag containing Jinfu's snacks with him and walks over to the boulder

Out of my way sister!

Using his training to strengthen his mind, he interacts with the phenomena ahead of him.

Using my 1/day Resolve on Resolute to roll twice on my Will save

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

And... my pbp dice continue to betray me

Sister! Why did you not warn me this rock wasn't stable!?

Taking into account my penalties for Sickened from here on out

Climb: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17
Climb: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18

About damn time!

I will scout out the other side while you take your time with the crossing dear sister

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Sigh...

It appears that my boots have become unlaced...

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Completely oblivious to what Reiko has done to the saddle...

Please sister, don't touch Jinfu. I don't want your failures to rub off on him.

These visions... They cannot be real! I refuse to believe that I am destined for such things.

Are... Are the rest of you seeing this as well?

Oh, hell no...

Sister, you wouldn't want me to hurt Lo Ma would you? My muscles are for fighting and working in the fields. Tending to household tasks is your duty as daughter.

And now to play the worlds smallest violin for dear Reiko.

Slowing Jinfu enough to pull up alongside Reiko, Hayato begins playing a haunting melody.

Perform(String): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Quietly enough that only Reiko can hear.

You may try to throw me under the carriage all you like, but remember, it is I who rides a horse.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

What was that sister? You want to make me tea? We are in the middle of a mission, perhaps when we return home.

Shuddering at the thought of giving Lo Ma a foot rub.

Little sister would give a much better foot rub on account of her agile fingers.

Ugh... I'd rather give Jinfu a foot massage...

Yes sister, you worked so hard to abandon us during our last encounter and recover that vial. It seems only fitting that you wield it now. Perhaps you'll be more useful with it, HA!

Hayato seems to contemplate the ointment and then his hair. Nodding to himself as if coming to a realization.

I suppose I could stand to use a bit of "product" in my hair. Perhaps it will reduce the amount of tangling I always experience from long rides on Jinfu

The Eye of Gorum sounded like something that could be painted on anyone, any number of times. If that is correct, then we should probably all use it. If not, then I'm fine painting Jinfu

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Though it pains me to do so, I must agree with Reiko. Lo Ma is clearly the most knowledgeable about the region. Lead the way.

I seem to be without any manner of climbing gear... I wonder if the horses of Golarion can defy gravity as those in Skyrim are capable of? It looks as though we may find out soon.

The mold appears to be repairing itself... Does anyone have defoliant?

Jinfu may not be the best in combat, but no way is he as bad as Reiko...

Hayato (Katana)

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8 for Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Jinfu (bite, hoof, hoof)

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 = 18 for Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Attack: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 + 2 = 2 for Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Attack: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 + 2 = 16 for Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Little sister, where are you going? Only cowards flee from battle!

I guess our survival is up to Jinfu and I at this point

Jinfu, attack!

Hayato (Katana)

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23 for Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Jinfu (bite, hoof, hoof)

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15 for Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Attack: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 + 2 = 6 for Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Attack: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 + 2 = 12 for Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Jinfu is so worthless in combat... Maybe I'll trade him in for a tiger at high level...

Watch and learn, little sister. Jinfu, charge!

Did not add charge bonus to attack rolls due to difficult terrain

Katana attack roll for Hayato

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 121d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Bite attack roll for Jinfu

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Sister... what have you unleashed upon the world?

Looking around the area trying to find the greenhouse the book mentioned.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Jinfu! Come, we must be off!

Attempt to mount Jinfu in style.

Ride: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Damnit Jinfu! Stay still!

Hopefully no one noticed that...

SISTER! Do not summon that other voice again. It hurts my soul for some unknown reason.

The slow, drawling nature of the second voice in the book grates on my senses

In what is an obvious attempt to collect his thoughts, Hayato attempts to provide the book some information about the outside world.

There is an organization of "terraists" that appear to be amassing an army of reptilian people. Their leader wears a silver mask that covers his entire face.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure how he even moves around while wearing that thing...

Not that I'll ever tell her, but that feat of acrobatics was rather impressive

Staring at Reiko having a conversation with a book in disbelief...

Little sister, are you... are you talking to a book? More importantly, is the book talking back? Ask if where the vial is...

Hayato contemplates pointing out to Lo Ma that we are already outside, but thinks better of it.

Bowing his head, Hayato responds to Lo Ma.

It was a long journey and it slipped my mind. I will tend to Jinfu now.

Dismounting Jinfu, Hayato leads him off somewhere he can take care of his business.

Returning on foot Hayato appraises the situation in order to try and determine the best method of obtaining the vial.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Where is this cupboard you speak of!? I see nothing of the sort in this mess of a room. Sister, get over here and help Lo Ma clean up this mess!

Good thing we had a key. Little sister is not very good with locks.

Hayato seems to consider dismounting before entering the building. Shaking his head as if though trying to dismiss a foolish thought, he urges Jinfu through the door.

Jinfu! Take us inside.

After all, what use is there in having a mount if you don't ride it?

"Lo Ma. Seelah. Ah, I see little sister is late as usual."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
