Huxwren's page

Thank you so much for running this adventure GM! The effort and care you put into everything really shone through. It has been such a pleasure to get to play at one of your tables again.

Oh man - Champion spirit's influence penalty would have been nasty here. No matter how she slices it, Huxwren would be looking at a -2 penalty to both Concentration and effective caster level. XD

Concentration vs DC 25: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Huxwren cuts herself a hole in the skin of the dissolving world and wakes from the nightmare.

One down, four to go! You folks got this!

Huxwren takes the spider-leg sickle and hooks it onto Eldrin's belt. "That'll give you a bit of extra gumption," she explains with a wink, as if she were talking about the tall elf being nervous about asking someone out to a dance rather than performing a ritual that could kill them and everyone else in Korvosa if done poorly. "Now wear this - you won't be able to see, but we'll help guide you. You've done this before, so it's no big deal to do it again." She passes him the fallen occultist's mask as well.

"Alright then, let's get started. Dru, you got that wine ready?"

The hope is that Eldrin can offset the expected damage with the +4 Con from the implement, then minimize the chance of failure with the mask's competence bonus. Pity it doesn't stack with the key, but we'll make do with the gifts that fall into our laps. XD

Question though - can Eldrin pop the mask off to immediately regain vision, or does he stay blinded for a time after using it?

And @GM - when narrating the scene, don't forget that Huxwren's placebo effect will wear off shortly after we begin and she will be shaken for however long she would have been shaken before. XD

Huxwren finishes wiping her dagger off on Nahum’s face and sheathes it. “You mean the dream sanctuary she’s too exhausted to maintain after being captured by a night hag? The one she kept safe with the help of a floating elephant we may have sliced to pieces after it was reanimated? Don’t think we’re going to have much in the way of safety.” She gestures towards the stone. “Get rid of that thing, and we can all sleep soundly for a week. What’s the holdup?”

Huxwren is in favor of performing the ritual right away. Also, @GM - did Huxwren need to use her Spirit Boost in the last round? It would push her into taking her spirit’s influence penalty, which is unfortunately a -2 to all Intelligence-based checks (among other things). XD

Huxwren keeps her cool as her life flashes before her eyes for the second time today. “Why Nahum, didn’t you know?” She leans forward and grins, too many teeth showing. “I’m your worst nightmare.”

Primary Dagger, Heroism, Flanking: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 30
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Spirit Dagger, Heroism, Flanking: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 25
Spirit Boost: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Fervor Dagger, Heroism, Flanking: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 18 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 26
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Iterative Dagger, Heroism, Flanking: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 19
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Huxwren's eyes fly open. With a quick flip, she gets to her feet and dances back from the shadowy Nahum. One long arm scoops up the dagger from the floor, then jabs it at the solid Nahum. "Miss me?"

Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 2 = 32
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Swift action to stand from prone thanks to blessing of fervor, 5 ft step, move action to grab dagger from the ground, and standard to attack. It looks like both Huxwren and Grunyak can provide flanking, but only one square also provides protection from the demon shadow. May the dice be in your (and our) favor, Dru!

I think Eldrin already took his turn - that being said, the GM might allow him to retcon a move since he could draw the wand as part of the movement or take a 5 ft step back into the room.

I love it! No idea what that implement might be, but I still love the idea! XD

Huxwren laughs harshly as she slides behind Nahum. “Oh, too bad honeycake.” Deftly she continues cutting away at the madman’s protections to give Drusilla a better chance of breaking more than his nose. “I know it’s a small target Dru, but aim for his groin!”

Primary Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 2 - 4 = 36
Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 18 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 18 + 2 - 4 = 24
Crit damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

If that doesn’t confirm, she’ll use Spirit Boost.
Spirit Boost?: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Spirit Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 2 - 4 = 20
Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Fervor Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 18 + 2 - 4 = 24
Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Iterative Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 2 - 4 = 15
Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

If the crit confirms naturally, Huxwren will use Spirit Boost on the next attack that would miss.

Side note - if Nahum were to, um, misplace his holy symbol, would that end the planar ward effect? Asking for a friend.

Spellcraft, Heroism vs DC 19: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23

Grinning like a shark, Huxwren steps closer and begins popping images.

Primary Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 18 + 2 - 4 = 17

Weird thing here, but if that roll would miss by 5+ and not pop an image, Huxwren’ll use her Spirit Boost to add a d6 to it.
Spirit Boost?: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Images, 1 = Hit: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Electric damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Spirit Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 2 - 4 = 32
Images, 1 = Hit: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Electric damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

Fervor Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 18 + 2 - 4 = 24
Images, 1 = Hit: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Electric damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Iterative Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 2 - 4 = 28
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Oof. 11 hitpoints left on Huxwren, but he’s all yours Drusilla!

Reflex, Heroism dc DC 21: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20

Huxwren is too busy staring slack-jawed at Drusilla’s retreating backside to dodge the frosty blast that fills the room. She tries to say something, spits out a mouthful of ice, then shakes her head. Slowly she walks out the door, blade held in front of her like a threat. “Nahum, you’ve made us upset. And I think you’re well aware that revenge is a dish best served cold.”

Intimidate, Heroism, Repetitive: 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 17 + 2 - 5 = 27

Move and Demoralize, choosing the attack/AC/Reflex bonus fromfervor for the round. The hope is that if we can keep his spellcasting turned off, he’ll have to resort to hitting people with, I don’t know, his thigh bone. Once we get those last few images removed, Huxwren would suggest stealing his implements for good measure.

Spot on with the AoO's and Combat Reflexes, GM!

"You know, it's incredibly brave of you to continue trusting other people to do your work for you when absolutely everyone has betrayed or left you," Huxwren comments in a conversational tone as Nahum's voice echoes from the inside of the tower. "Oh wait, did I say brave? I meant stupid. Anyway, Drusilla, be a dear and close those doors as well, would you? We're trying to work in here and somebody keeps throwing a temper tantrum."

Primary Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 2 = 40
Magical Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 18 + 2 = 23
Crit damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Spirit Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 18 + 2 = 28
Magical Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Fervor Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 18 + 2 = 26
Magical Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Secondary Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 2 = 18
Magical Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Full-attack, starting with Yellow and moving to Blue if that one pops.

Oh Huxwren will absolutely take the AoO.

Knowledge (planes), Heroism vs DC 16: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13

"What's the matter, Nahum?" Huxwren grins, long arms snaking around the demons towards the man standing outside. "Cat got your tongue?" She motions as if to slice at the multitude of images, then waggles a finger. "So nice of you to leave the stone here for us. Sweet dreams!" And with one swift tug, she closes the doors.

"Eldrin! Let's roll out the snappy version of that rock-disposal ritual now that Mister Doom and Gloom is taking a timeout outside." She winks at the spellcaster to let him know she's trying to trick the man outside.

Bluff, Heroism: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 2 = 37

Given that the simplest solution would be for Nahum to just open the doors again, Huxwren will attempt to hold them shut as her standard action.

Out if curiosity, does it look like the fellow is casting spells using psychic magic?

Huxwren darts forward with incredible speed thanks to Grunyak’s magic. As she slides up to the bone-wielding man, she barely seems to register Taariik’s prone form beside her. “Poor, poor Nahum. Betrayed by your colleagues, abandoned in a make-believe world - though that last part is rather fitting, given your hopeless delusions of grandeur, isn’t it?” She throws her head back and laughs harshly. “Now then, shall I start by carving my initials into your hand or your gut? It appears you need reminding of who I am - and why it’s a bad idea to ignore me.”

Intimidate, Heroism: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 17 + 2 = 32

I wouldn’t put it past this fellow to be immune to fear effects, but if he’s not then he’s shaken for 1.5x the usual duration due to how… memorable Huxwren is.

Spellcraft vs DC 19: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Spellcraft vs DC 19: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

"Bad cat! Don't make me get the spray bottle!" Huxwren slides closer and lashes out with her blade.

Primary Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 2 = 36
Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Spirit Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 18 + 2 = 35
Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Secondary Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 2 = 23
Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

5 ft step and full-attack.

Huxwren takes a moment to calm herself.

In... and out. Deep breaths, deeeeeeeeeep breaths, you can't kill him when your legs are shaking so bad you can't walk. You want to kill him, right? So pull your back up, sink into those knees, and keep your weapon ready.

Pep talk successfully done, she races up the stairs and into the room blade-first. "Alright, which one of you wants to die first?

So it's not psychic spells in general that are shut down by conditions like Shaken, but those with Emotion components (which is the psychic version of Somatic components). And guess what handy spell happens to not have Somatic/Emotion components? That's right - placebo effect! The effect's duration is suspended rather than ended, so Huxwren will be shaken again in 8 minutes - but that's future Huxwren's problem. (It's not as awesome as the haste I had planned, but whatevs.) Casting and moving into the room, dagger in hand.

*Cut to ten minutes of oversized Taariik carefully sidling up the staircase, back pressed flat against the tower wall.* XD

Huxwren grins as the group ascends, but the slowly fades as each portrait in turn doesn’t even mention her. Well, that one with Grunyak tied up did, but only to feature her getting her head chopped off, which is almost worse.

By the time they reach the top of the now-tower, the halfling’s face is red with barely-contained fury. “He thinks he can just ignore me, does he!? Let me at him and let’s see him ignore my dagger in his belly!” Her arms stretch out impossibly long again, dagger held tightly in one small hand. Barely waiting for the rest of the group, she throws open the door. “Smile, honeycakes - we’re here!”

Casting long arm on herself before we go in, hoping to take advantage of some Combat Reflexes!

“Whatever - let’s just do it quickly!” Huxwren bounces impatiently on her toes.

Fine to head to the big bad boss’s room as well!

Huxwren’s smile is as sharp as her blade as the knife dances through the air. “Hah! Now I’m having a good time!”

Primary Dagger, Heroism vs #4: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 2 = 27
Magical Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Spirit Dagger, Heroism vs #4: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 2 = 40
Magical Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 18 + 2 = 26
Crit damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Secondary Dagger, Heroism vs #4: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 2 = 21
Magical Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Full-round to attack #4 and hopefully prevent it from carrying Taariik away. If it falls, she’ll shift her attention to #5.

Huxwren huffs as she slips around Taariik, pushing the limp nightgaunt off the balcony and holding her dagger ready. "Sweetcakes, stop hogging all the dance partners!" she calls to Drusilla with a wicked smile.

Move and Ready to attack an enemy that comes within 5 ft.

“Wow, that’s very forward of you.” Huxwren slips past Dru and reaches around the corner to stab at the little flier creature. “At least ask the poor man his name before skipping straight to tickling.”

Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 18 + 2 = 23
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

"Where are you going?" Huxwren steps northward as well, pausing to let her silhouette fill the screen on the other side of the room before continuing onward and stabbing at the cultist with much more grace. And skill. "Don't you know you can't run from your nightmares?"

Primary Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 2 = 32
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Spirit Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 18 + 2 = 37
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Secondary Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 2 = 35
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 2 = 35
Crit damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Given what we know about these dream cultists having regeneration, Huxwren would continue attacking even if they fall in order to buy us more time to find the good silverware.

Huxwren slides into the room and twirls her dagger. “Sorry to interrupt the show, but…”

Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 2 = 40
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 2 = 37
Crit damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

“…well, actually, I’m not.”

"The bardiche - weren't these things weaker to silver weapons? C'mon now, get your head in the game!" Huxwren bats the taller man's leg playfully before gesturing for the group to follow her back to the movie theatre.

Huxwren sneaks back to the others. "Got one of those creepy people in there watching some sort of slide show, and probably some demons or something ready to pop out like those smoke monsters earlier. Taariik, you got your silver sticker still? Oh, did the Madame leave?" She whistles nonchalantly, but her eyes gleam with readiness to clean house.

"On it." Huxwren tucks the waxen dolls into her pocket and speeds along the wall. She stops just shy of the doorway and peeks around with much style, but not much stealth.

I was going to be sad, but then I remembered that Taariik has that sword-throwing power that can make full-attacks. XD

@Taariik - don’t forget your haste attack!

“Oh? Why would that be, dumpling?” Huxwren’s dagger lashes out once, twice, thrice, four times from around the corner before she steps away with the bauble and a cheeky grin.

Primary Dagger, Heroism, Haste: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 2 + 1 = 25
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Spirit Dagger, Heroism, Haste: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 18 + 2 + 1 = 34
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Haste Dagger, Heroism, Haste: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 18 + 2 + 1 = 38
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Secondary Dagger, Heroism, Haste: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 2 + 1 = 30
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Huxwren, meanwhile, darts behind Taariik’s towering form and snatches the gemstone from the ground before it can bounce more than once. “Sugarplum, I think you dropped your heartstone. I’m sure we can quickly return it to you though.” The smile on the halfling’s face grows wider as her magic infuses herself and her companions.

5 ft step, move action to grab the pendant, and standard to cast haste on all allies (except maybe Madame Carrington due to the wall.

“Sally, my dear womplefet, did you think we’d physically bring those priceless artifacts here?” Huxwren laughs jovially, though her expression is closer to the eerie paintings than a normal smile. “Fruitcake, how do I explain this in a way you’ll understand? You’ve heard of interplanar magnetic resonance, haven’t you?”

Bluff: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23 Folio reroll - Huxwren wants the Madame to live!
Bluff, GM Stars: 1d20 + 17 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 4 = 33

Grumbling, Huxwren grabs a green bottle from her pack and hurls it at the flying zombie with much ire.

Acid Flask, Heroism, Range vs Baku: 1d20 + 16 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 16 + 2 - 2 = 28
Acid damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Silver linings - if it's not adjacent to anyone, then we don't have to worry about splash damage!

Could Hux use air walk to flank? I can cast it on him or Taariik. I think we need more stuff hitting it. That intelligence damage is a killer.

Air walk would allow Huxwren to attack in melee (which does a bit more damage than throwing knives), but she'd still struggle to deal much in the way of damage through its DR. A pity she didn't think to get a set of different metals for her blades - oh well.

Or... This is a dream, correct? Can Huxwren try to bend "reality" to her will here to make the steel of her dagger into cold iron?

Too stubborn to admit defeat, Huxwren plucks her last dagger from her belt and hurls it skyward.

Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 2 = 34
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

"You got any cold iron?" Huxwren asks, drawing another dagger and sending it flying at the flying elephant with a flick of her wrist to give it a nice spin. "Not that I need it, mind you - but you might."

Dagger, Range: 1d20 + 19 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 19 - 2 = 30
Slashing damage: 1d3 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

5-ft step back, move action to draw dagger, and throw.

Huxwren dances back, plucking a dagger from her belt and hurling it into the floating mass of sparkles. "Hah! That's a nice look for you!"

Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 17 + 2 = 28
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

5-ft step, draw dagger (not magical), and toss.

I didn't see the damage to #5 on the tracker - did Eldrin's spell have no effect?

Huxwren growls and darts forward, moving erratically to avoid the poor baku's reach while still getting to the barely-standing demon. "Time to say your prayers," she hisses, teeth clenched for dramatic effect as she slices for its throat.

Acrobatics to Avoid AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 2 = 30
Miss chance, 1 = Miss: 1d5 ⇒ 2
Magical Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Move at half-speed with Acrobatics to avoid the baku's AoO, then standard to attack Daemon #1.

Huxwren grins toothily at the prone monster before her. “Ooo, now that’s a bad spot you’ve gotten yourself into. Here, let me help you out of it.” The halfling extends not a hand, but a blade.

Primary Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 18 + 2 = 37
Miss Chance, 1 = Miss: 1d5 ⇒ 1

Miss Chance, 1 = Miss: 1d5 ⇒ 5
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Overconfident, her dagger skitters off stone rather than piercing into demon-flesh.

Oh dear. XD

“Well, I guess they’ve already done the throat-slitting for us. All that’s left is the entrails.” Huxwren steps behind Taariik and jabs at the now-visible creepy child.

Primary Dagger, Heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 2 = 40
Miss Chance, 1 = Miss: 1d5 ⇒ 2

Miss Chance, 1 = Miss: 1d5 ⇒ 3
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

5-ft step and full-attack.

Huxwren spots Eldren’s eyes focusing on something and swears under her breath. Taking a moment to steel her nerves, she draws her dagger and holds it loosely in one hand.

Casting heroism on herself and drawing weapon.

"Oh, the poor dearie!" Huxwren's eyes widen, then narrow to slits. "We're gonna find whoever did this and string 'em up by their own entrails! If they're lucky, we'll cut their throat first."

Huxwren doesn’t have a wand of cure light wounds (hazard of being a “fresh” character rather than a “PFS” character). She’s also too proud right now to ask to use someone else’s. XD

Huxwren dashes after Taariik, brandishing her dagger with a grin that fades slightly as she spots the creature and the partially-absorbed elf. “Haha! Not to worry - we’ll cut you out in a jiffy!”

Dagger: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

"Hah! You hit almost as hard as a pansy noble trying to convince himself he's a big deal." Huxwren cuts with words and blade in a pint-sized ball of deadly skill.

Primary Dagger: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25
Magical Slashing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Spirit Dagger: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37

Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Crit damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Full-round attack.

Speaking of checking things - did the belkers swap numbers during their growth spurt? It looks like Huxwren was attacking #2 earlier, but now it's #1 and the damage from her attacks and Eldrin's spell didn't transfer with the number swap.

Nah, we're all people who make mistakes and asking keeps us honest. Or at least I don't mind if folks double-check my math with Huxwren. XD

"Hah! These things are nothing but hot air!" Huxwren realizes after the words escape into the smokey creature that she just expended a lot of air she can hardly replace easily. More motivation to get the job done fast then!

Primary Dagger: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Spirit Dagger: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Secondary Dagger: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Oh. The smoke's not over there. The halfling steps towards the fireplace and takes a deep breath. Her face might be red from embarrassment, or it could be from holding her breath for so long. Bit difficult to say really.

Lol. Full-attack and 5 ft step.

Laughing, Huxwren tosses her dagger into the air and steps to the side. Staring straight at the smoke cloud, she catches the blade by the hilt without even glancing at the weapon. "Boo! Haha!"

Primary Dagger: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Spirit Dagger: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Secondary Dagger: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Magical Piercing damage: 1d3 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

5 ft step and full attack SmokeyBoi the Second.

“Oh hello, did you bring the dreamstone?” Huxwren likewise twirls her fingers, though steel dances around them rather than smoke. “No? A shame. Now be a dear and open that door.” Again the halfling flashes a smile sharper than her knife.

Intimidate to Coerce: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

Huxwren turns slowly to face Grunyak. "I wouldn't do that again if I were you," she says slowly, dagger flitting between fingers as if it had a mind of its own. "Now why don't you sit down and let the nice man tie you up and we'll just wait for you to feel like yourself again. Doesn't that sound nicer than the alternative?"

Intimidate to Demoralize Grunyak: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26

If successful, Huxwren's Memorable trait makes the duration 1.5 times as long (rounded down as usual).

Huxwren grins up at Drusilla, a few too many teeth showing. "Best you sit down and let everyone give you a hug, hon," she advises strongly.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

If Drusilla is in control of her actions for the round, she could drop prone, release her weapons, and let people grapple her until the effect's duration runs out. But juuuuuuuust in case she is overwhelmed by the need to struggle... XD
