Hisao of the Yellow Reeds's page

Hey Mike, could you deactivate the game again? Thanks!

Hit me up when it gets that far and we'll see :). Maybe Hisao's been zapped into time stasis or something.

You kind of disappeared there Mike :).

That's pretty cool.

Hey all, maybe we should go with the idea of levelling up to 20 and doing one big final battle to finish off the game? Been a while.

So what's everyone think of Starfinder?

I thought Nacht got eaten by a great old one!

Diplo Gather info: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Hisao doesn't do a great job of trying to talk to the locals, he's still not very comfortable in Europe. Odd that he's become a lord of a portion of it...

The website has been terrible. Hopefully it has stabilized now.

Taverns first then!

Rich merchants attract thieves Hisao notes. I suspect Paddy and I would make good thieves.

We are told that the undead master seeking to end the world is somewhere in this city Hisao says once they are safe.

Should be back up to speed Tuesday.

I am going on a vacation for a week starting tomorrow! I think I will be able to keep up with a once a day pace but maybe not!

Which is closer?

I think... magic weapons will not be an issue Hisao says But this soul object would. Maybe we can ask it where it is, hah

Do you know of people who are servants of these evil forces? Perhaps we can find their masters and do something about them.

Yes, we managed to assist him with some beings of great evil that had hurt him. There are many such about nowadays it is sad to say Hisao says.

Hisao bows and says Greetings holy man, we have been travelling across Europe searching for some powerful people. We were led to believe that they may be in this city.

Actually why are we in Italy? Is this where we think the AntiChrist is?

Reflex: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

Hisao is nowhere near the splash but is disappointed that he used his skills on this.

Hey guys, you should level up! :)

Hisao considers the city There are a lot of temples in this place. Do they speak French or English here?

Hisao leveled up!

Usually we go to the holy men of the city to find out what we need to know, yes? Hisao suggests.

For his part Hisao, feeling a bit homesick, picks a slim and dark haired lady to spend some time with before leaving on a ship headed towards Italy.

Well I'll continue then and others can drop in as needed maybe?

I'm up for whatever honestly! It's been a great game so far. I guess it all depends on how many of the people who played are still around to post regularly.

Come on guys! I'd like to give Hisao a nice ending!

So let's pick our loot and get on with the game :)

I was thinking of Slippers of Lightning Leaping if that's more flavourful than the pretty dull Boots of Speed option. But once per day as opposed to ten times per day is a huge difference!

Boots of Speed Please!

Beats initiative even on a 1

I think Sun Wukong will have other plans Hisao says as he joins Paddy in flying around to flank the dragon.

Stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40

Add 20 if Invisibility matters, which I don't think it does?

Did we get a surprise round to use this move action? Can we take our first standard action now? We need to get Alphonse a flank since he's got the best chance of hurting the thing with a good smite

I say we try and kill the dragon!

You know at this point Hisao could assassinate almost any royal family member he wanted to. I think I'll metagame a bit so he... doesn't go and do that.

Hisao holds up his hands. I think I prefer to go together. Being alone with dragon was not pleasant experience!

It almost worked. Hisao says as he goes back to the group. He scratches his head I think this dragon does not care for world domination. Maybe we should go other way and find this giant who is actually bothering people.

I think I get a surprise round?

Surprise Round Bluff It was alll a dreeaaaam: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Init: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

First Round

Hisao runs away, away, whatever method is fastest!

Fast Stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23

Stealth: 1d20 + 20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 20 = 43
-20 if Invisibility doesn't count. He only dropped it at the last possible second though.

Hisao is struck by an idea. He thinks about it for a little while. Then things about it a little more. Then he sighs. He has a good idea where the inspiration came from.

He picks up a dagger from one of the giants and smears blood on it from one of the many many corpses that are lying about.

I have had a thought. Say here. When you see me running back out then I suggest you run as well

Saying this he goes invisible and ethereal again and goes back the way he came into the lair of the beast.

Laying the bloody giant dagger carefully down right next to the sleeping head of the dragon the ninja takes a deep breath.

He steadies himself.

He raises his wazikashi, more a holy relic now than a weapon, pauses, mutters a prayer to Sun Wukong, who he fully blames for all this, and then, dropping his ethereal state, plunges it right into the arctic dragon's eyeball.

Coup De grace damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 5d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (1) + (6, 1) + (2, 2, 1, 1, 6) = 23
AutoCrit: 1d6 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (4, 1, 5, 4, 4) = 22

Fort Save of DC 55 or dead

Then without pausing to look back Hisao does something he's gotten quite good at over the years.

He runs.

Staying invisible but keeping etheralness off and full withdraw all the way back. He's not stopping until he gets back to the group.

How do you guys feel about Hisao coup de gracing the damn thing! Maybe plant a giant weapon to make it think the giants did it!

Hisao floats back as fast as he ethereally can.

There's more than one of the apocalypse beasts! he gasps out to the group This one is of ice!

Hisao floats down cautiously. Is it a dragon? If so, what kind? Could it be Confalgratious himself?

Hai Hisao responds and heads back, this time in his ethereal/invisible state he tries to float as far over the giatness and the beast as he can to keep from being scented out. If he can get into the tunnel undetected he flips his goggles of the night on and heads in.

Hisao goes back and relays the news to the rest of the group North by West or East? To go West will have to first kill cook. Perhaps I scout dark tunnel at back and report? If go East then cook might ambush.

Is there any other entrance off of this or is this a dead end?

Keeping in communication with Paddy who hopefully relays to the rest of the group. Hisao moves to see what the fires is to the NW.

Hisao volunteers to scout ahead. Going Invisible and ethereal to scout in.

Stealth: 1d20 + 20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 + 20 = 54
Per: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Hisao sighs and moves in to finish off the last giant evil thing.

Invisible charging attack Piranha Flank: 1d20 + 16 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 19

Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 4 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 5d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 4 + (5) + (1, 4) + (5, 2, 2, 5, 3) = 35

The ennui doesn't serve him well though.

フォーカスを失うことはできません he mutters to himself.

Took my turn as I think we're up again? Wonderful to hear that everything is on the up and up Fredrick.

Hisao continues to swing his blade over and over.

Invisible attack Piranha: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 16 - 2 = 27

Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 4 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 5d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 4 + (3) + (2, 5) + (6, 1, 4, 3, 2) = 36

Invisible attack Piranha: 1d20 + 16 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 16 - 2 - 5 = 20

Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 4 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 5d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 4 + (2) + (1, 3) + (2, 5, 3, 5, 1) = 32

PbP is going well. Near the end of the module in fact. PBPs and Dungeons don't mix well though.
