Wong doesn't mind to wait, but he'll be careful to give up in time to get to their meeting at 9 PM.

I have a 1/day See Invisibility, but sadly I had to use it at the tournament. Having to deal twice in a day with invisibility is a big weakness, but hey... it's part of the game, I guess.

It soon becomes clear that Wong knows a lot about arrows, but nothing about sneaking or stealthing. Hopefully, X seems an expert, and with a pinch of luck he might spot their target in time.

Wong has been too quick to spend his special vision last combat...

"Can you see her?" shouts Wong to Deathless. "If you can, tell us! Meanwhile, we'll have to wait!"

While retaining his arrow, Wong looks for any sign of movement that could give him a hint.

Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

Wong keeps holding his shot.

Wong doesn't know what his enemy has just cast, but the fact that she disappeared gives him a hint. "She's invisible!" he warns, hoping his friends in the ground can hear him.

Then he flies towards the middle of the trees, en garde for when his foe appears.

You're right! That's because I've never used it in its PF iteration, sorry. Then Wong would have cast Divine Favor for a +4 to hit/+4 to damage (net gain: +4 to hit/+3 to damage)

rolls would end up like this:

Arrow#1 to hit: 37 Damage: 14 Manyshot Damage: 19
Arrow#2 to hit: 25 Damage: 16
Arrow#3 to hit: 31 Damage: 16

All damage stacks before applying DR.

As if you needed the GM to be away to create chaos... xD

Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Debilitated by the draining ray, Wong shouts. "At your three!"

Wong then murmurs a prayer to regain some strength and tries some arrows at his target.

Swift: Restoration, Lesser: 1d4 ⇒ 1 Oh, come on...

Full Stack at -4 Str

Arrow #1, Point Blank: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 17 + 1 = 33
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11
Damage (Manyshot): 1d8 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16

Arrow #2, Point Blank: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 17 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 = 13

Arrow #3, Point Blank: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 = 13

Wong liberates his wings, flying up with the intention to have a look from above the canopies. "I'll check up there!"

Wong looks at the others. "What time does the sun go down here, more or less?" he asks the Emissary, worried about their date at 9pm.

Wong picks some arrows from his quiver, stepping forward to get a better angle, and cries for divine help before shooting.

Swift: Cast Divine Power spending a Fervor Point.
5-ft-step to D8
Full Attack Vs Blue

Longbow #1, Channel Vigor, Blessing of Fervor, Divine Power, Deadly Aim, Merciful: 1d20 + 17 + 4 + 2 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 17 + 4 + 2 + 4 - 3 = 43

If Blue goes unconscious and there are still some shots left, Wong will target Pink.

So, I take it they're invisible now?

Wong thanks the gods for bestowing their blessings upon him, then concentrates to see where the chanters are.

Standard: See Invisibility SLA.

He moves forward and asks for a new gift, imbuing himself with a protective aura.

Swift: War Mind on self
Move: Move to D7.

"Hot coals? Okay..."

Ref: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Even though his feet are burning, Wong casts some spells to aid himself and his team, grinding his teeth from the hot.

Concentration: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Blessing of Fervor as standard (+2 attacks, AC & Ref)

Channel Vigor: Mind as swift

Wong looks around before answering. "Um... could we talk in a safer place?"

Happy holidays to all you people in the US :D

"So, X, what's your plan at the end of the day, when the collector comes back?"

Wong's ears capture the man's offer and he puts all his attention to it. "We might have a chance to deliver this Golden League a good blow..."

Wong witnesses without commenting. He's heard somewhere that tigers are stealthy animals, so maybe if that advantage is lost then the boar has a small lead, but he hasn't studied animals enough to be certain. Plus, the influence of the fighters tied to them can hugely turn things around.

"Oh, damn!" Not sure if this is intentional or not, Wong doesn't hesitate to go and talk to one of the judges. "The towers are not stable, they will collapse as soon as someone climbs up there. Is this supposed to happen?"

Kn Engineering: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Going to watch possible rivals seems a thing Wong would do.

Thumbs up, but before, Wong is going to ask at the guard part about the poison. No need to stop to much for that, though.

Is anyone going to use that meteor hammer, or shall we sell it or exchange it for anything else?

After bowiing at the end of the duel and expressing his interest in Ganyavesha's state of health, Wong walks with his teammates to the noodle house. He is a bit confused by the strange man, but due to his elusiveness he decides to follow Deathless and find out for himslef.

Reminder: there's a Prayer effect centered on Wong.

Wong prays to his Holy Master to enchant his bow, then fires again.

Swift: Sacred Weapon for a +2 Enhancement bonus on the bow. The bow is now +3, which ignores cold iron and silver DR.

Full Attack

Reminder: Clustered Shots allows Wong to add up all damage of the round before applying DR.

Reminder: there's a Prayer effect centered on Wong.

Wong decides to take action, finally.

So, if I see that she drinks a potion and suddenly she begins to blink, can't I roll Spellcraft to identify what spell effect is that?

Seems rather weird to me, but ok. Let's go with the random dispel.

If he can't, he'll keep on running until he reaches the 3rd floor.

Wong has to struggle not to spread his wings, then climbs to the first of the platforms.

Climb: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Do I see her from where I am?

On round 10 of the preparation: Fervor to cast Channel Vigor: Mind on self, then Prayer on the group.

And here I thought we were already fighting the tournament match, lol.

Once all seems clear, Wong can't help but think about the poisoned food and drink and the coincidence with the sorceress not being at her post. He decides not to raise a scandal, though, and proceeds to the match with his companions.

Wong flies down to rescue the fallen monk or, if someone else does it first, he'll go face the sorcerers. "Hey! What's up with you?"

Wong points one of his arrows to the remaining monk. "Please. Don't make me do it. Your friend needs help." He keeps an eye open, though, in case the man decides to keep on fighting.

Readied action to shoot if he tries to fight.

Isn't a natural 1 an automatic fail? I can't remember right now.

Wong once more murmurs a prayer, then he picks several arrows and starts to rain death upon the monks.

Wong has to fight the impulse to spread his wings, and instead checks that the slippers keep him firmly attached to the wall. He chants and prays, invoking divine help on himself and his companions.

Swift: Cast Channel Vigor: Mind on himself spending a Fervor point.

Move: move 5 foot backwards, with the intention that reaching him would provoke from his friends.

Standard: Cast Blessing of Fervor on the group. He'll pick a +2 to attack, dodge and Ref for himself.

Wong directs himself - and any other from the group willing - to the place their are instructed to go. A nice place, in his opinion, though he's a bit afraid that the spectators might have an accident on those boats if they get too carried away by the competition, the alcohol, or both.

Good to know about the note.

Wong concentrates and takes aim, then releases. He could have buffed himself, but he decides to leave his blessings for the actual contest.

3 shots at Target #1, 5 shots at Target #2, 3 shots at Target #3.

shot at Target #1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

Edit: 3 20s in a row? Really? Do I get something for this, like, a cookie? :P

I'm afraid I have no way to ignore concealment, but who knows, I might get lucky.

"Oh, an archery contest!" Usually, Wong wouldn't like to show his skills, but they've already fought anyway, so by now everybody should be aware that there's a winged archer in the contest. Who knows, maybe this could help him focus his mind.

He hasn't been relaxed for the whole night. The fact of just going to bed without addressing the problem with the wine is still haunting him, as he believes the right thing to do would have been going to the Guard. When he realized, however, they were already going to bed and no one seemed to care, so he just rolled with it. A decision he now regrets, though he feels it's too late now.

So a bit of distraction won't hurt. "I want to give it a try."

"It can weaken us also, Deathless..." says Wong with his hand on his face.

"Ah." Too many new things come into the fray. The wine. The girl. Are they related? "A mysterious alchemist appears and suddenly the wine is poisoned..." Then the girl reveals her true feelings - which weren't really hidden. "Settle? Was there something to settle, to begin with?"

Wong nods slightly to let clear he's understood. He'll have to find a proper prayer to deal with this, but that'll have to be tomorrow, or they'll have to look for someone with scrolls.

He thinks of going immediately, but follows X's indications. "Don't react. He's up to something."

Wong palms his face. "Oh, dear...

To be clear, he's been eating and drinking. Frugally, but still he did.

Come on, come on. It's been a long day, let's not make something of nothing :)

I would relocate it to X. He has a +8 and a dangerous +6 there.

Trying to calm down Deathless, as always, Wong gets stressed - as always.

"Come one, man... You'll have a lot of fighting tomorrow as well. Maybe you can break all those wooden boards tomorrow" he adds, trying to attract some of Deathless's aggro to himself and avoid being thrown out from the place.

Wong watches carefully the black pajama man fighting. "Interesting."

After the fight ends, he makes notice they should eat something and go to bed. "Tomorrow's another big day, guys."

Ah, damn. We gave the Stone of Luck to the one dropping out :(
