Howirk Crookfeather's page

Chronicle looks good. Thanks all for a fun game! I look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future.

To boon or not to boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Howirk watches, wondering if more nimble hands may be needed to remove the stones.
If so...
Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Looks like Howirk is the only one of you left to fill out RPGChronicles.

Apologies. Filled.

Howirk helps surround the foe.
Double move to give the flank.

Howirk tries again to bring down the foe, before cautiously stepping back.
Melee (touch attack, corrupting touch): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13
On success, target is shaken.

5 ft. step

Howirk approaches the outflanked foe and tries to lay a hand on him.
Melee (touch attack, corrupting touch): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

"That one can't be up to something good," Howirk reasons aloud. He follows Leon, warding the large man.
Move
Casting protection from evil on Leon.

Are you going to heal the human you found?

Yes, Howirk will heal the human once the others are at satisfactory strength--unless he gets some indication that the human is likely to expire first. Feel free to bot any additional rolls.

Howirk does his best to get some more positive energy to flow from the wand as needed, starting with Leon. He then moves onto the injured half-orc.
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

If it is okay with the GM, I am fine having others bot Howirk's UMD rolls and hit point healing in the future when out of combat in an effort to keep the game moving.

Howirk moves his way forward and tries to transmit some positive energy to the half-orc.
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

It takes a number of shakes and flicks, but he eventually gets the wand to work.
No 1s!

Ready for such an eventuality, Howirk taps Leon with the wand.
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

can anyone heal at this point?

Yes, just not well.

Howirk holds fast to the wand and tries to catch up to the injured.
Double move for his short legs

Position acceptable.

Howirk carefully crosses the icy floor and follows Leon, keeping the wand out.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Howirk grabs the wand of cure light wounds and flanks Leon. "Got your back."

”I sed, be carefuh. Back up an I geddit.”

Double move half speed while drawing scythe.

"You got it, Big Guy," Howirk replies as he carefully backs away.

Acrobatics, if necessary: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Howirk walks into the room and looks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Howirk attempts to utilize a wand on Leon.
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I think that heals up Leon to full.

Then Korgaar.
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Healing rolled by Korgaar above

Howirk enters the room. Seeing the ambushers, he points his finger at the nearest one.
Ranged touch (ray of frost): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage (cold): 1d3 ⇒ 3

Leon wanders inside, bringing his light to bear on the room to see what the sound was.

Move Action, 10 ft (unless something happens to redirect).

The light allows, Howirk to peer further into the room.

He scans past the doorway.
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

If he doesn't see any threats, then he proceeds 20 feet (just south of Leon; against the wall)

So no one can try to use Leon's wand to heal him?

Howirk attempts to utilize the wand.

"Good as, er, new?" he declares. He then suggests, "Shall I hold onto this?"

As the others approach the door, he falls in line. Reading the plaque, he mutters, "Sounds like a delightful place."

"Crude," notes Howirk. "But effective. So very effective."

Howirk moves into position and casts a ray of frost at the attacking skeleton.
Ranged touch attack (ray): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage (cold): 1d3 ⇒ 2

Howirk follows Leon into the hallway. As he does, the short sorcerer draws his dagger hoping he won't need it.

"Hrm," mutters Howirk as he witnesses the rippling.

”Da walls luk weird.”

"You are not wrong, Leon." The halfling retrieves a sunrod from his cloak, but as he can still see somewhat, he does not activate it.

Howirk is easily able to learn that the wealthy and prominent House Blakros is a large, extended clan of eccentrics with trade contacts rivaling those of the Aspis Consortium, who made most of their money selling valuable antiquities across the border between Taldor and Qadira. Their daughters are known far and wide for their beauty, and marrying a Blakros woman is a sure path to power and riches.

Howirk shares what he has learned with the others. During his investigation, he stopped by the temple of Abadar and secured three potions of cure light wounds and a second vial of holy water.

She shakes her head. "The ancestors who set up the Accords didn't see fit to record that for posterity. Likely they feared their descendants doing what I propose."

Some information is available through Knowledge (History) or (Local), or Diplomacy to gather information.

A halfling cloaked in a long coat, gives a simple nod.

"Trouble at the Blakros again. Hrm." He mumbles from beneath the brim of a hat perhaps too large for his head.

"Anyone know anything about the museum? I've never been there"

"Probably best you don't know, cousin. Place is a magnet for trouble."

"Let me do some asking around."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

You are all in for a treat. Great early scenario. Have fun!

Chronicle looks good. I had fun. Thanks for the game!

To boon or not to boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Player name: Lysle
Character name: Howirk Crookfeather
PFS#-Character#: 90900-8
Faction: The Exchange
Day Job: N/A
Progression (slow/normal): normal

Diplomacy to Aid: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Alas, already used my reroll.

"Should I cast a spell on him?" Howirk quietly asks of his allies, but perhaps not quietly enough.

With dagger in hand, Howirk moves cautiously into the room.
Double move

"If you take care of the cat, I can work my magic on our 'friend', Zamir," he urges his allies.

They ignore Elneth and draw weapons.

"Leave or die now!"

"While we are being direct, I must say that I would prefer a third option," Howirk replies as he casts a spell on the previous speaker (blue?).

Casting daze; DC 15 Will save negates. The spell clouds the mind of a humanoid creature with 4 or fewer Hit Dice so that it takes no actions. Humanoids of 5 or more HD are not affected. A dazed subject is not stunned, so attackers get no special advantage against it.

The halfling then draws his dagger.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Seeing the man act angrily, but not attack, Howirk puts up his hands ina feature of peace and deference. "We don't want any problems, just looking for the man downstairs. Go about your business and we'll do the same."

Knowledge (local), untrained: 1d20 ⇒ 7

I heard the sounds of a charm spell. Howirk, maybe your spell was a success and they don't attack just for this reason?

"In that case, let's head down the steps before the spell runs its course, shall we?" Howirk suggests.

What are you doing with the two inside?"

Howirk does not speak Vudrani. Does anyone in the party?

The pair hasn't attacked us, even after Howirk cast a spell on one, so Howirk is prepared to head down the stairs.

"The boss is down there!" says the man gingerly pointing to the stairs that lead down. The unarmored men look at Merry. They appear angry.

Howirk enters the room and bows at the pair. "Pardon us. I suspect we will be on our way in just a moment," he says to them. He then turns to his allies and suggests, "If the boss is 'down there', then I suggest we get moving down these steps."

"There's another pair in here!" Howirk calls out to his allies. He steels himself in case one comes after him.

Readied action, first opponent to approach within 5 ft. of Howirk displaying hostility

Howirk casts daze on the remaining bandit, then seeks cover while the rest of the party cleans up the security.

DC 15 Will save negates daze, otherwise red is dazed and can take no actions, but has no penalty to AC. The dazed condition lasts 1 round.

Elneth easily dispatches the bandit while Merry misses.

The bandits vow to fight on and attack the Pathfinders.

Spotting a door, Howirk rushes inside looking for cover.
Double move

Seeing the guards occupied, Howirks makes a rush inside the fort.
Double move

Howirk shrugs and follows Ashtoreth.
Double move

At the suggestions of the others, Howirk moves to the east, attempting to remain out of sight.
Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Howirk tries to get close for a look and see what he can see.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Now what? I'm not all that good at sneaking, but we may have a chance when it gets dark. Or is it frontal assault time. they did seem pretty wimpy. By the way, nice job on throwing the fight. It was all I could do to not laugh."

"Well, the last time I assaulted a stronghold with a band of Pathfinders, I simply charmed my way in," Howirk suggests. "Though it didn't stop the others from rushing the steps and slaughtering the lot of them. But, it did provide some useful intel."

if you're going to let them take it, we can drop out of combat?

Yes, provided we think the bandits or the Thakur's men are sufficiently convinced of our "efforts' to protect the item.
