Thank you all! Happy gaming! Hope to see you all around!

@DM Doc, can you remove me from the players and characters so this clears my feed? Mahalo!

Happy Aloha Friday, all!

Thanks, boss! See you around, to be sure! Thanks for the game! It was fun!

I'm so sorry, but I think I am going to have to withdraw from this one... I am just about to start a Daggerheart game on the boards and I got a PFS game coming up that I will try running!

I have made the mistake of spreading myself thin.

Again, sorry folks!

Gotcha!

Every knowledge, though? The lines would be longer than the post boxes. Haha.

EDIT
Well, we could just include the skills we are likely to use. No point for me to include Religion, if I never plan to use it, right?

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. The stuff you might be trained in and likely to use.

Kepa does not.

Ho'okepa, while everyone leaves with their booty, kneels before the body and begins chanting for about 5 or 10 minutes, in a standard funerary ritual that his people perform. It involves, usually, washing of the body with the sacred waters, but if the body is too decomposed, Kepa places a few drops upon the Dwarf's forehead and places his his hand on the corpse's chest...

When he is finished, Kepa stands up and bids the body one final farewell and turns to join his companions...

Yeah, generally, I think I should put my Secret check stats in my subtitle, so that the GM can make those calls for us...

Buffering... Will let GM make the secret roll before I speak up...

Recall Knowledge: Religion +3

Yeah, all good! I need to take a little break too...

Kepa moves over to Krrys'tall and pulls out his gourd canteen again and pours a handful of water out, spilling it over the injured Tripkee's head while whispering a chant, calling out to his patron...

Lay on Hands, Krrys heals 6 hp!

The islander smiles and says, I will need to spend some time to refocus myself before I can I can do that again...

I always forget about that! >.<

Yes, I will use it whenever able. I probably should have included my intent in moving where I did and only raising my shield. My hope is that it would attack someone else and allow me that free attack.

Staff, Retributive Strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 I do not remember if I was in flank position with Neppka. Going to assume not.

Damage, Deific Weapon: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Add +1 if Courageous Anthem was still going at the time.

Would I be able to use Retributive Strike on the spider when it bites at Neppka? If so, he takes 3 less damage and I get a swing, if it didn't move...

Not a crit though, right?

◆ Stride (noted on map), ◆ Raise Shield

Can I remove my immobilized condition? Can I do an escape action?

If so, Athletics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

◆ Escape, ◆◆ Undecided

Shoot, thanks. I did have that in mind when I started writing that post, and then forgot to put it in by the time I was done.

^_^

But it is easy, because you just need to double your total, and the GM can take that into account without you having to roll something.

Neppka, remember that your second hit is at -4, assuming you are using an Agile weapon, otherwise at -5. So, with the +1, it would be a 16.

Naw, it's charming! And it moves the story along!

Kepa slides his shield on, just in case and follows.

What is that? Kepa asks, mostly to himself, but loud enough for the others to hear him.

Kepa is ready! *Bonesaw voice*

Then this is something that should be stopped, eh? Ho'okepa muses, We do hope that it does not come to violence... Blessings be upon you and your family on the Wanderer's Road, friends.

EDIT: I am Kepa, and these are Neppka, Varo, and Krrys'tal, Kepa tries very hard to get the inflection to Krrys'tal's name correctly, but stumbles a bit.

Society: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Based on stories we have heard, something seems to have been stolen from these folk along the road. Or at least they are looking for something. Would you know what this might be?

Of course, Kepa gestures to the spring, Your animals look thirsty.

Kepa looks up to look for the source of the singing...

If we rest, Kepa will refocus, if not, I still have another focus point... ^_^

Kepa suggests that they all stop here to eat some lunch. He leaves a little offering for Desna at the shrine, before sitting down to eat. Opening up the little bento box given them by Ameiko, Kepa picks up a rice ball and hungrily chomps down!

A'ole pilikia, Neppka! Kamohoali'i blesses us all, Kepa laughs.

What time of day is it? How long have we been walking? Close to lunch time?

Ho'okepa unslings his gourd canteen from around his shoulder, Neppka, come here for a bit.

Assuming, he acquiesces...

Pouring a handful, the water sparkles in a ray of sunlight streaming through the canopy of the Tickwood, Kepa pours it across Neppka's forehead...

Lay on Hands, heal 6 hp. Focus points 0/1.

No rush, buddy!

Shouldn't it be 3 hp? 2 + lvl, right? Is this the giant tick or the one on his back? (Basically, do I have the free swing?)

Kepa steps up to the tick, swings his taiaha again, then raises his shield defensively...

◆ Step, ◆ Strike at Tick, ◆ Raise shield

Strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Damage, deific weapon: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

You could use your reaction to perform Retributive Strike but you did not start out within striking distance, unless you have a reach weapon? I will agree that you weapon is in hand as a walking stick.

However, I can still reduce the damage, no?

Is Neppka within my aura? Can I use my Retributive Strike? I am not sure if he is in a 15 foot emanation, it looks like it could be either way, because of diagonals...

Kepa steps up to the giant tick, dons his shield and raises it defensively.

If Ho'okepa was using his taiaha as a walking stick, does he still need to Interact to draw his weapon?

◆ Step, ◆ Interact (Don shield), ◆ Raise shield

I, myself, am still a little uncomfortable with horses. I am more comfortable on foot.

Okay! I will be on Oahu over the weekend. Won't be able to post again until Monday, as well.

Ho'okepa asks Ameiko to pack up some provisions for their trip and leaves a few silvers, not really knowing what it might cost... He then refills his gourd canteen and heads out to the sandy shore facing the bay.

E ho'omaika'i e... Kepa chants and performs the necessary observances to Kamohoali'i, his patron deity, the shark god, the Keeper of the Waters of Life...

Kepa nods, Let us leave in the morning, then! Agreed?

Still not used to your measuring system, 15-16 miles is far? Ho'okepa asks, pondering their move.

So, maybe 3 or 4 hours' worth of travel?

Do we know how far a walk it is?

Kepa shrugs and flashes a smile, Not in it for the reward, my friend...

I'm up for it, if you all are.

Ho'okepa looked to his new companions, raising his eyebrows in expectation...

I apologize, Master Odo. I was trying to figure out what we needed to do first. I was not trying to dismiss you...

Mr. Odo, where were you when you were waylaid? Ho'okepa asks of the halfling.

Ho'okepa frowns, I want to talk to the ones that grabbed Odo on the road... Perhaps, if we find out what happened, we can find a more peaceful solution to this.

Master Odo had a run in with them, was beaten a bit by the travelers...

I will continue work for my space, but I will help. Where can we find them?

I would be willing to check it out, at least to see if we can come to a reasonable solution. Changes in routine often have a cause... Kepa nods.

Kepa shrugs, How does your community stay strong, if you do not help each other?

To him, it is apparent that this concept is foreign, At home, we have to work together, or we would never survive...
