Medicine(M): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

Isaku holds up his hands in a placating gesture. "Perhaps I can be of help?" He pulls out his healers kit to prepare to treat her.

"Argoni!" Isaku calls, "She appears to need some help. Perhaps you can treat her?"

Worst case, he can use either a potion or a scroll or a wand

Works for me. Apologies for ghosting the table. ISP at home is getting unpredictable and cut out early last night.

Perception(M): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Do we have time to heal up?

he posted in his 01-06 game.

Isaku crosses the hallway and shoots Green.

+2 Striking Frozen Dueling Pistol, 60' range, Reload 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 for Concussive Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7 plus Cold: 1d6 ⇒ 2

◆◆ Stride
◆ BANG!

Isaku tries to get an angle on Blue.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Not finding one, he shoots a fireball at it.

Ignition, Ranged: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21 for Fire Damage: 6d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 4, 1, 4) = 17 Crit: Double + 5d4 Persistent Fire

◆ Devise
◆◆ Ignition

Isaku tries to get an angle on the blue ooze and tries to find out what its weaknesses are.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 18
RK Occultism +17

Sure of his target, Isaku shoots Blue and reloads.

Devise hits AC 37 though it's probably immune to crits. Also not sure if Strategic Strike counts as precision damage, which these things are probably immune to as well...

+2 Striking Frozen Dueling Pistol; Concussive Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 2 = 9 plus Cold: 1d6 ⇒ 3 with Strategic Strike: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3) = 9

"Get 'em Argoni! I've weakened him for you!"

Blue is now OG vs Argoni

◆ Devise
◇ Known Weakness (RK on Blue)
◆ BANG!
◆ Reload

Question about the magic ball -- It also is made of evocation energy, so it is immune to any spells that produce a similar effect. So it's immune to evocation spells or immune to fire?

Isaku pulls out his dueling pistol before trying to get an angle on the large blue ooze.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Unable to get a decent angle, he moves to a better position.

◆ Interact to Draw
◆ Devise
◆ Stride

Thanks for the bot. Had internet issues this weekend. Looks like the dice bot wasn't cooperative either

I'm back. let me catch up.

Isaku moves up to the door and attempts to identify the rolling ball

Arcana(T): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

I'll defer his third action to the RK result, though 25 is probably not enough at this level

◆ Stride
◆ RK

ACK... I (the player, not the PC) think I know what those are...

Are the doors open? Does Isaku have LoS to the oozes? Do the creatures we're facing have anything to do with Isaku's investigation (Source of the mysterious signal)?

Isaku ventures a question. "What was this place used for? Is there anything that would prevent us from getting the information we need?"

Isaku says nothing. He's clearly overwhelmed by what he's currently seeing.

Society(E); Revecka Cioraru: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

yeesh

Isaku's senses go on full alert as the warning appears. He joins Itka in searching for some lever or switch that might disable the contraption.

Perception +15; if related to his investigation, +2

"I can do a lot of electric damage to it."

BakBat will explain using Horizon Thunder Sphere -- it will use a second rank spell slot

This reminds me of Fizban the Fabulous always wanting to cast fireball during the worst possible times...

"I suggest we clear this floor before heading upstairs." Isaku says.

Perception(M): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Isaku follows, one direction is as good as another at this stage.

He kicks the dice bot on the way though

Isaku raises an eyebrow at Doc's discovery. "Is that what those are? Interesting." When Doc mentions the possibility of disconnecting them, Isaku muses "Maybe we can disconnect them without destroying them?"

Crafting(M): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21
Occultism(E): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32

Isaku ponders on what is on the blackboard.

Perception(M): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Isaac notices, for the first time, that everyone in his group has feet...

Search for EA. He has Trap Finder. If it's related to his investigation +1 to the Perception check IIRC
He has a throwing knife out in case something unfriendly jumps out at them.

Diplomacy(T): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

"We mean no harm. We just need some information."

Somehow he's less than convincing

Isaku pulls out his notebook and scribbles something in it. New Investigation: What is the source of this mysterious signal

Occultism(E): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

Isaku watches Bakbat for a reaction. He's just as curious as everyone else.

Society, RK: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22

Doc should get a level bump btw, being lvl 7 in a high tier game.

Protective Mentor here: +6 hp

Isaku joins in looking the box over, trying to decipher any markings.

Arcana +15, Society/Occultism +17

"I knew you seemed familiar! Argoni Slate! Yes, meeting Kassi Aziril was an enormous privilege! Even though forensic medicine isn't my forte, I was able to pass some of the knowledge on to the other detectives at my agency." He winks at Argoni. "My two other colleagues, Zhamie and Purrlock, who are trained in Forensic Medicine, were mighty put out with me!"

Portrait of Argoni

Argoni leaps up from his seat when he realizes they have a real Doctor in the group. "Hey Doc! So good to meet you! I can help out if you want. I met Kassi Aziril and she showed me some cool tricks! Look, I got a scalpel right here and sometimes I been able to help clean out a wound and stitch it back up!" The halfling waves around a very sharp scalpel in the air with little regard for where others are standing. "Just let me know what you need! I even have my own mix of reagents and everything. Sometimes mine smell a bit off, but I keep trying to add some honey or strawberries to see if that makes them taste better."

He spots Jakoby and hands her the Backfire Mantle from his back. "Hey, you know just in case I spill a little. Wouldn't want you to get any of it on you."

I'd actually forgotten that Argoni was part of my (only) run of 06-03 (Godsrain in a Godless Land)... while I wouldn't mind playing it, I don't think I'm gonna run that again. It was pretty depressing...

Which reminds me -- Isaku got the Chronicle for that one

The dedication doesn't give the no-splash bomber option... :)

Is everyone ok with taking splash damage? Isaku has Alchemist Dedication and has some alchemical bombs.

A tall man with blond hair walks in. He's lean but obviously fit. You note the dueling pistol on his belt as well as hatchet.

"Isaku Beru. I'm lead investigator for a detective agency in the Grand Bazaar."

And the Itka image looks horrifying, especially with that fang sticking out! :)

sign me up for 04-11

Stat block updated, btw...

I was going to ask the same thing -- are you planning to do part 2?

and it appears I need to update his statblock as well. He's level 9.

No 03-14 with this PC.

btw, Bakbat, do you need help setting up your table for 01-06?

Isaku is an investigator with both Alchemist and Psychic dedications. He can heal but probably not as well as a dedicated caster. Unfortunately, I don't have another 7-10 so I apologize in advance if we end up high tier.

Friendly fire is ok as long as Isaku isn't dying or in danger of such.

Slides and RPG Chronicles done.

5 glyphs to share.

Isaku Beru - Lvl 9 Investigator/Psychic/Alchemist reporting for duty!

Chronicle looks good. Thanks for a fun series!

Isaku grins. "I like it! You truly are a great Dragon! I see why Jinlong takes his name after you!"

Isaku will be level 9 with this chronicle. 2 previous chronicles will apply as well so he's practically lvl 10 after this game.

I'm going to prep this series... this was fun, even though Isaku was less than useful... :)

Isaku Beru (2396852-2001)
Investigator 8; Radiant Oath

Crafting(M) vs DC 22: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

Success for 16gp

Isaku watches in morbid fascination as the hand retreats. He realizes they have won and rejoices.

Ref: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Isaku manages to keep his feet.

Isaku tries to get an angle on the hand.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Unable to get a shot, Isaku runs around the perimeter of the circle to get to Herr Doktor.

◇ Devise (I'm guessing this thing's the cause of the troubles!)
◇ RK (Weaknesses in particular)
◆◆◆ Move Move Move!!

EDIT - I'm learning! Nomadical taught me how to properly play an Investigator during my first (and only) live game! :)

Will: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

Isaku has a Pearly White Spindle Aeon stone so I have resistance to void damage... :)

Isaku groans as the weight of the evil slams down on him. He steels himself and gets back up...

No change here -- I'll save it in case I really need it...
