Jakoby & Ro's page

Jakoby slides uses some of her weapons to absorb some of the sound...

☘️ Thievery (U) w/ Clever Improvisor vs DC 26: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

"You are wasting time. Did you even check inside? The intruders can pass through walls using a transitive plane. Or were you not paying attention?" she gets in the face of one of the guards, and fake-scowls.

◆) Hunt Prey (+2 to Deception w/ Outwit)

Deception (T) w/ +2 Outwit (DC 26): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 = 30

"I agree with Itka"

Jakoby pauses a moment to stuff another bowl into her pipe with blackened thumb, inhales thoughtfully, and elaborates "The Doctor's plan is solid. I think stopping by the Hag's little trophy room might be worth risking the time. After we get our untied friend to safety, let's take a peak in that Vault, hit the Bell Tower, then take command of the Gale's Claw"

"Aslynn isn't here"

Woman of few words, Jakoby goes over to untie the woman.

Jakoby pockets the tonic "Maybe if we can get the jump on the Witch!"

She looks for a way around.

Perception (M) w/ +1 Visual (DC 26): 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 20 + 1 = 32

A couple bowls later and our ranger rises, nods to Itka, and begins scanning for footprints into the prison cells.

◆) Hunt Prey

While she finishes her bowl (and offers Itka some), Jakoby tends to her bird and herself.

"They are dead. Again"

Jakoby sits upon the ground, stuffs a bruorsivi nug into her custom wood pipe, and stokes it into a rolling flame, inhaling. Then, she pulls out her wayfinder, and turning the needle once round, activates a magic sequence.

◆) Activate Rugged Wayfinder (Possibly reduce that "Enfeebled 1 for 1 hour" condition)

Fortitude vs Bloodsuck (DC 27): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

Tougher than she looks, our rugged hero throws off the effect.

Basic Fortitude vs 32 void (DC 27): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29 @ 16 damage

Jakoby reels as her lifeforce is sapped.

Giving the signal - a short whistle - master and companion strive into V formation.

Jakoby Fortitude vs DC 27: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23 @ Enfeebled 1 for 1 hour

Jakoby feels her muscles laxen and her swordsman's form slip...

Back to back with her companion, the duo move with deadly coordination, katana, beak, and claw awhirl.

Spurred by the shakeoff, Jakoby seizes the opening created by her alchemist friend.

Astral Katana (S, 2h; deadly d8, two-handed d10, versatile P) w/ Astral (1d6 spirit) vs Green Ghoulie (OG vs 1st strike): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 322d10 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 = 91d6 ⇒ 21d8 ⇒ 1

Jakoby Will vs Paralyze (DC 28): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37

Jakoby either throws most of the paralysis off, or all of it!

Jakoby is Level 10 vs Incapicitation

Jakoby Basic Reflex (M) vs 19 fire w/ Evasion (DC 22): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31 @ 0 damage
Ro Basic Reflex (E) vs 19 fire (DC 22): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 @ 9 damage Ro

Jakoby easily rolls - if fact, she somersaults forward, and races at the white mage "Thought I smelled a magic-user in here" and landing just before him, she whistles shrilly, calling her hunting companion her way, who attacks his eyes while she slashes downward near his exposed guard.

GM,
Let me know if Jakoby is able to roll Survival (Track) for Initiative, because if so:

1) Her bonus is +1 higher
2) Or +3 higher if she is able to Hunt Prey
3) If able to Hunt Prey, she gets a free RK check, and +1 AC vs prey
4) She gets a free Stride on first round

Happy Holidays!

Hireling Religion (M) vs DC 26: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

"Deadeye's bow!"

Jakoby can only stare.

"Should we just leave this one in the cell, boy?"

Jakoby is facing Ro when she speaks, but her rhetorical question - which she actually considers for a moment(!) - is for the second prisoner to hear "Or is the reward for an extra prisoner rescued just too good to pass up?"

She corrals them, gently, and suggests "I think we should get a look at what the Witch is having them build in the Workshop"

Stealth (E) to Bypass Guards: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38

Like a falling snow that creeps up on the first morning of winter, our ulfen hero and her companion move soundlessly.

”More bodies, more help” Jakoby agrees. She searches for tracks that would lead to the Prison Cell area.

◆) Hunt Prey

Will Save vs 18 mental (DC 30): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31 @ 9 mental

Jakoby reels, but recovers. She looks to Ro ”You okay, boy?”

"That was fast"

Dropping her pipe, our rugged hero is miliseconds late to react.

No tiebreaker

After being blasted by it, she asks "Should I send an arrow through the center?"

Will piercing or slashing make a difference? Blunt?

Sitting with Ro, our rugged hero contemplates her recent quests.

"Been relying on Spiritbreaker in recent quests, boy, working as hard as you to keep up with the pack" she laments while examining the edge of her katana "Lot more running that just keeping an eye out from the back with Regicide" her bow, neatly stowed on her back.

"Should probably be exercising more than I do. These other experienced pathfinders are nearly as lazy and you and I" she chuckles. She resolves to begin adding sprints to her morning smoking routine. Surely, she could start tomorrow.

Picking up a +2 Potency Rune and the Heroic Hustle Boon!

In the interim - perhaps a day? - Jakoby, sick of castles, and her faithful avian companion, Ro, spent the night in the woods, to gather fresh herbs at dawn, and enjoy a nice, long, morning smoke...

Jakoby sits still and packs several bowls into her pipe while the team patches her extensive injuries.

She takes the Moderate Elixir of Life and offers to share.

"Thank you, all. Hopefully we're over the worst of it"

Jakoby ♥️ 77/148
Ro ♥️ 81/96 (after Doc's healing)

Jakoby and Ro both fared better than they had originally thought - it was a shadow spell after all, only partially real...

Thx!

Jakoby Basic Fortitude vs 40 void (DC 26): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20 @ 80 damage

Jakoby is nearly obliterated into shadow!
Ro fares much better...

Jakoby holds a hand out, palm facing back, and nods her head "no".

Ro forfeit final ◆

Jakoby and Ro continue to hold the front line.

Jakoby manages to duck - but Ro takes the brunt!

"Let's smoke them out" chomping down on her pipe with her teeth, Jakoby races forward, blade in hands, grabs a clean swipe, and quickly retreats back.

She nods to Ro to do the same!

Jakboy keeps a keen eye for tracks...

Swift Tracker

◆) Hunt Prey vs Feline

"This Aslynn must be dealt with"

Seeing a wind down, Jakoby resumes stuffing her pipe. She studies Narcela.

"Any intelligence you can give us on ways to defeat her would help"

Perception (M) w/ Goggles (+1 visual) vs DC 28: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 20 + 1 = 32

Keen to the unseen, Jakoby notices a latch, and pulls it.

"Maybe we could use these"

Our ulfen grandmother hero takes a moment to stow her sword and stuff her pipe, working up a smoldering cherry, and blowing a cloud of dark smoke between the villagers and their charge. After awhile, she speaks simply, and allows her listener to infer the remaining connective tissue of her analogy.

"Knowledge is a Journey, you would no sooner set out on a Long Trip without Proper Provisions; My colleagues here are skilled in the Means of Handling the Cause of your Ailments"

Religion (T): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24

☘️ Religion (T): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

Jakoby nods, lets the talkers talk, puts her pipe out, and begins tracking the oozes as the party heads downstairs.

GM, I'd like to use Survival for Initiative if allowed - Also, might trigger Monster Hunter (Recall Knowledge)

Jakoby keeps her eyes sharp, her sword down, and lets the others do the talking.

◆) Hunt Prey w/ Monster Hunter w/ Outwit

Jakoby stays back and signals for Ro to do the same, and keeps an eye out, and more importantly, a bowl packed, lit.

~) Refocus (10 min) to (□□) if time

Jakoby looks down at her warm winter clothing - lucky not to sustain acid damage to them. She looks at Ro, whose feathers all seem intact.

Scanning GM posts for "acid", I see no damage to either

Arrows are cheap and lightweight, and our hunting duo are not regularly in the habit of retieving them. Instead, she stuffs her pipe once more, and blazes.

"It didn't get everything" Jakoby takes a moment to stuff her handmade pipe with a few herbs and introduce flames "This might come in handy" she hands the cloak over, already wearing one herself as smoke billows around her.

Jakoby pursues, and with Ro standing down, keeps fire.
