Isaku Beru's page

I'll update tonight. Including doing some botting spoiler updates and maybe doing some shopping...

Isaku will join 04-11. I just need some time to level up.

Treat Wounds, DC 20, Assurance: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 5) + 10 = 19
Treat Wounds, DC 20, Assurance, Continual Recovery: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 6) + 10 = 18

Bakbat, Itka, Argoni should be back to full. Jakoby and Ro should get at least 37 back.

Isaku has Ward Medic (4 targets) w/ Master Medicine and Assurance as well (I just realized his statblock here is incomplete). Waiting for the fort saves to pan out.

btw, forgot to indicate that Isaku will use Known Weakness to find out the bot's weakness (though I wish I had thunderstrike)

Isaku again tries to get an angle on the bot. At the same time he tries to find out where it's weakest.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 15 Hits AC 33

Sure of his target this time, he levels the pistol and fires.

+1 Striking Frozen Dueling Pistol; Concussive Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 2 = 8 with Strategic Strike: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5) = 16 plus Cold: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Crit?
Concussive, Crit: 2d10 + 2 ⇒ (1, 6) + 2 = 9 Doubled to 18
Fatal: 1d10 ⇒ 8

He reloads but calls to Jakoby "Bonk it. I've weakened it for you!"

Shared Strategem - OG to Jakoby

◆ Devise
◆ BANG!
◆ Reload

Is Bane the red border?

Isaku again tries to get an angle on the bot.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 1

"Let's see, if I use my companions as pinball bumpers for my bullet... what the heck am I thinking?!"

Concentrating, he lowers the temperature around the robot, hoping to slow it down.

Frotbite, 120' range, Cold; DC 24 Basic Fort: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 4, 2) = 15 Crit Fail: Double Damage, Weakness 4 Bludgeoning until the start of Isaku's next turn

◆ Devise
◆◆ Frostbite

Isaku tries to get an angle on the robot.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 14 Hits AC 32

More or less sure of his target, he shoots it.

+1 Striking Frozen Dueling Pistol; Concussive Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1) + 2 = 8 plus with Strategic Strike: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2) = 11 plus Cold: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Total 21

If 32 is a crit
Concussive, Crit: 2d10 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 2 = 7 Doubled to 14
Fatal: 1d10 ⇒ 8
Total 35

"All yours Argoni!" Isaku calls, before reloading.

Robot is OG to Argoni

◆ Devise
◆ BANG!
◆ Reload

btw, in my botting spoiler I had to revert my dueling pistol back to +1 Striking Frost. For whatever reason, HeroLab allowed me to upgrade it to +2 at Lvl 9...

Wow, Isaku: two Nat 20s in a row!

Itka leans closer, hunching nearly to half her full height, listening intently to the exchange. She's particularly interested to determine whether or not Lumna's voice sounds the same through the device as it did earlier. Hmp. Unless it's someone else.

2 Nat 20's in combat!

I once hit 3 Natural 20's in the same combat round, for minimum damage. Which was good since I was the GM at that time

That's what I thought... though certain feats let you get more every 8 hours...

Investigators with the Alchemist Dedication don't get Versatile vials back via exploration do they?

Just so that I don't forget and do it out of habit. Isaku will retrain a feat and get 1 day of downtime.

Crafting(M), 1 day, DC 23: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24

2.5 gp

Of course, this is assuming Isaku comes out the other side in one piece!! :)

Crafting(M): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39

"I think that should do it..."

and I'm finally back in my own timezone... BKK is 1 hour behind Manila... so I rolled my clock back 1 hour then rolled it forward after 3 days...

Perception(M): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

Isaku draws his pistol and makes sure that it's loaded.

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! :)
