Jalias = # 89926-2

I dreamt of an old man touching me in inappropriate places and pushing me somewhere I didn't want to go ..

"Undead .. I hate undead!!", the half-elf shouts with a voice dripping with utter disgust. Oh, he does hate undead so very much and he holds a special hate for ghouls and their ilk.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Give me a sign when you're about to open the door..", Jalias says. He readies a protective ward.

Protective Ward = +1 Deflection bonus to AC for 3 rounds for all of those within 10ft of me (you must be/remain within 10ft!).

Good one.

After checking the gold, Jalias diverts his attention to the captain and scans him for any magical aura's.

The half-elf weaves magic with a flourish of his hand and soft spoken words. His gaze concentrates on the chest for a moment.

Cast Detect Magic on the gold - no funny business here, right? Assuming it is just that, gold ..

"Let's get the tablets?"

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

"I don't like this one bit .. "

Don't have any spells or abilities that strike me as very useful in this situation. I could pop a Protection from Evil on someone?

How do you move markers on the map oj an android device? :x

Jalias surges forward and attempts to deliver a vicious strike.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Jalias drops the oars and attempts to climb up on the deck.

Climb check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

The half-elf has the luck of getting to use the oars to balance himself .. but that's about as lucky as he gets.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Jalias tries to get the boat to stop along the side of their target, but seems to be having some troubles..

STR: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
STR: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Let me know if I'm doing this wrong .. or if no check at all was/is involved :o

Jalias slows down his effort while trying to steer the boat so that it won't collide with the larger vessel.

STR: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

I'm not entirely sure how far away we are from the boat now: 30ft? If so, I want to make sure we don't ram into it, but glide along the side as we slow down .. if that is possible? ^_^

"I'm awake, I'm awake!"

The half-elf hoped that whatever arrows would come their way, weren't come his way. And that's all he could hope for.

STR: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Rowing and accelerating.

Annoyed by his inability to get the boat going, Jalias adds a secret ingredient to the mix: frustration.

STR: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
I know it ain't my turn (yet), but this is what Jalias will do once it IS his turn. Row row row the boat ..

Jalias rows and rows, but the worrying sight in front of him - that of a ship, manned with sailors, who are most likely armed and soon to be aware of their approach - somehow ain't motivating him the way it should.

STR: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Ha, I now see that this goes on survival, meaning I got a -1 on it. Maybe we should let Darvan drive this damned thing xD

Check. Thank you.

When given the sign, the half-elf starts rowing with all the strength he has. The boat has to get into motion real quick if they want to stand any chance at all to make it to the ship. The boatsmen were far out of the reach for his spells and if they had bows or crossbows, well, they were sitting ducks.

STR check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

I checked and he has some nice to hit modifiers with a ling that also happens to do some damage. I'm not sure if it will matter much (probably not, since we're making a big fuss about it, ha), but one can never be too meticulous in these matters :')

I got more STR than Tobold .. and very limited ranged options seeing as that Acid Splash only has 25f range at this level :D might be handy to have me row.(

"I can enlarge one of us when we get closer. That person can put the other onboard if necessary?"

So even though this point of xp causes me to ding, I'm fine rebuilding him and 'then' leveling him up using that point of xp? Good lord, sorry for going on and on about some really boring rules xD

I'm up for another PFS scenario. These PFS runs have been giving me a clear idea of what works and what doesn't work in a pbs format :) Jalias will ding lvl2 after this adventure, but can I still remake/tweak stuff about him? With the incoming xp?

Sorry for all the PFS noobie questions.

"Where's a tower shield when you need one..", the half-elf mutters.

Would an enlarged person fit in these boats? And if so, would the increased muscle capacity make one row faster? *laughs*

Jalias invokes the aid of Gozreh through magical song. An arcane-charged verse from a poem of an old man at sea fighting the elements while staying true to his heart, his nature, ends with a brief shimmering orb of force around the half-elf and his companions. It then disappears as suddenly as it had appeared.

+1 Deflection bonus for all of those within 10 feet of Jalias for 3 rounds. 4 uses remaining for the day.

I'm down with Darvan/Tobi/Elael and Archi/Milo/Jalias. I bet we still got more strength on our side ;)

Before entering the boat, the Osirion wizard starts to hum. Quickly the humming turns into an otherworldly song and a sheet of translucent armor forms over him.

AC 16! Used my arcane bond.

"What's what?.."

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

I'm Dutch so it's hilarious seeing everyone using languages 'from around here' .. an orc in my other group uses German for Orcish x'D

The half-elf scurries up behind the halfling and elf, ready to come to their aid if the negotiations turn sour. And down here, sweetness seems like a relic of the past, nowhere to be found..

Are you using/speaking Frysian or Englified Dutch? .. lol

"Let's go? If Tobold or Darvan leads the way, I'll fall in behind."

"Knock her out! Don't kill her!!", the half-elf screamed once again. In the mean time, he kept himself busy by assisting Tobold.

Assist another:
Assist Tobold's Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 = Tobold gets a +4 bonus on his first attack roll this round.

"Don't kill the girl!!", the half-elf shouts. He was too slow to intercept the dinosaur, but perhaps words could mend the situation.

19* you got a +1 deflection bonus for 2 more rounds .. :p

Jalias provides aid to whoever comes under attack, weaving attacks with his reach weapon to hinder the enemy.

Aid Another, need a 10: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Move, ready action -> aid another for +4 AC on whoever (Tobold or Elael) gets attacked. This is obviously on top of the +1 deflection bonus to AC for a total of 5.

If not, you can probably smash it in with your mighty strength. Gandalf the Grumpy at work.

Jalias unleashes the protective ward with a single sentence from an ancient Osirion song sung in Elvish as the Keleshite bashes in the door.

For 3 rounds everyone within 10 feet of me has a +1 deflection bonus to AC. 5 wards remaining for the day.

The narrow space makes enlarging a companion in the case of an upcoming brawl a problem so Jalias decides to follow. He's ready to call upon his powers to shield his companions, but waits for them to be done researching the bodies before they decide to open the door. He moves up behind them, "I'll bring forth a protective ward when you open the door, just in case there's trouble." He then tightens his grip on his khopesh-glaive.

Protective Ward: +1 Deflection bonus to AC for all allies within 10 feet of Jalias. Costs a standard action to turn on, lasts 3 rounds.
I forgot to mention this before, but Jalias has 5 fire resistance this day - abjuration speciality ability.

The tall half-elf known as Jalias, clad in Osirion garb reinforced underneath with a layer of wool, nods at his pint-sized companion, Milo. "Let's do this. Normally I'd say 'let's keep a low profile', but with our rather cosmopolitan fellowship and accompanying outlandish garb, they'd need to be blind not to notice us."

It sure is, sadly wizards are only proficient in a handful of weapons. The arcanist luckily doesn't have this drawback .. but I'm set on playing an abjurer :) updated my gear as well - I spent: 811.5gp out of the 1051g I had, leaving me with 239g and 5s.

I really just wanted to play an abjurer, but they get jack s%*@ until banishment/dismissal so I came up with this as a run-up to it. I also had an arcanist laying about who uses (magical) songs to enhance his botanist career .. so Jalias is a bit of a Frankenstein ;)

Such rookie tactics! A real wizard enlarges himself so he has STR18 and 20ft reach with his reach weapon! The enemy triggers AoOs so you get an attack in the round you cast the spell .. and from there on, you either attack OR aid another the frontliner for a whooping +4 to AC vs one attack! And a real wizard can bring forth a sphere that grants all his allies a deflection bonus to AC!

.. and at level 3 with the bodyguard feat, he can make an AoO whenever an enemy within reach is attacked ;'D

Fear the 1d12+4 (or 6, if enlarged)~!

Hm, later today I'll sort out his gear - scrolls, wands, etc.

I'll keep an eye on the postings here if you decide to let 'us' in. If not, have fun and enjoy the game! :)

I obviously need to fill in the weapons and spells, but I'll be out playing PF all night at friends and I got to run now. Buffs & utility & anti-planar will be the name of the game.

Jalias is an amiable young man who's often found tending to his garden. He treats botany as an extention to his arcane research and one day hopes to unravel deeper secrets about the bond between nature and the arcane.
But while his plants grow and their roots sink ever deeper into the ground, Jalias feels the wanderlust of his mixed ancestry ever calling him onwards. Sandpoint, one day he'll leave. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next year.

Seeing as familiars are often a hassle, I'll opt for a bonded item (ring).

And what about me, the player? I'm a history student who happens to be stuck behind his computer A LOT the coming months and I've been an avid D&D player since I was .. 13 years old? I've also got some experience with the pbb format and if you want to know more, feel free to ask :)
