Jamir O'Quai's page

Haven't updated my character sheet since we ended our encounter. Been quite busy, so best to not include me in the 'ready & waiting' list :)

Concerning the WBL thing, we had a conversation about that in the discussion topic of our encounter and weren't certain how to handle the situation.
start of the conversation about loot

So what does everyone think about this?

So, If I did this right, we can equally divide the wealth like so:

Jamir: Hybridization Funnel, the formulae book, alchemist's fire, MW dagger, 3,308 gp

Tagatha: Scrolls and wand, potion of cure moderate wounds(after Jamir is done with it), 3,350gp

Rayne: Greatsword, Potion of cure serious wounds(after Jamir is done with it), tangleburn bag, 880 gp

Glyn: +1 shortbow, efficient quiver, 570 gp

That should give the loot and money a more equal 4-way distribution.

I can agree with this arrangement. Anyone have a problem with it?

I personally feel that how the loot + money is divided right now it's not an equal 4 way split, which one would expect after 4 people "randomly" working together, but it seems I am alone in this thought.

I would like to have the MW dagger if you just plan on selling it off as part of the group pot. I didn't ask it as I thought someone else might have had a better use for it.

Not trying to be difficult, but wouldn't it be more fair to divide the money in 3 if glyn takes the bow and efficiënt quiver? As those two items alone are worth 4130 gp (2065 gp if sold)

Or something else along these lines?

Had a bunch of fun.

So how do you want to divide the loot :
From the Alchemist:
Potion of Vanish (50gp)
Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds (300gp)
Potion of Anticipate Peril (50gp)
Masterwork Dagger (302gp)
Hybridization Funnel (200gp)
Alchemist Fire (20gp)
Formula book containing Anticipate Peril, Disguise Self, Cure Light Wounds, Enlarge Person, Jump, Long Shot, Reduce Person, Shield, True Strike

From the Wizard:
Scroll of Cause Fear (25gp)
Scroll of Lock Gaze (25gp)
Scroll of Disguise Self (25gp)
Wand of Mage Armor (7 charges) (105gp)
Spell book containing Cause Fear, Color Spray, Disguise Self, Lock Gaze, Recharge Innate Magic, Shield, Silent Image

From the Barbarian:
+1 Greatsword (2050gp)
Potion of Cure Serious Wounds (750)

From the Rogue:
+1 Short Bow (2030gp)
20 Arrows (1gp)
Short Sword (10gp)
Tangleburn Bag (150gp)
Efficient Quiver (1800gp)

Total value of looted gear = 7893gp (half if you sell it all)
Winnings = 8000gp

The potions with eye symbols on them were potions of invisibility.
I picked up one of those & Glyn used the other.

The healing potion from the middle, is that the one counted under the barbarian's gear? If not which type of cure potion was it?

For myself I'm mostly interested in :
- Hybridization Funnel (200gp)
- the formulae book
- having both the cure moderate & cure serious wounds potions for a while, as I'm planning on buying a Formula alembic after this encounter, so I can add those to my formulae list, I wouldn't mind giving them to someone after that (as the process does not ruin the potion).
- the alchemist's fire if no-one wants it
- share of the money so I can buy some new equipment.

Yup, very enjoyable encounter :)

And I must say, never seen so many low rolls on my D6 in a row ^_^ ... slapping the alchemist silly with my sap ...

"Well now that that is settled, I've got some unfinished business with that alchemist."

Jamir hops back into the pit he had come from.

Jamir will try to take the rest of the items the alchemist had on him (3 potions, masterwork dagger & the formula book).

After a few moments, Jamir pushes the unconscious alchemist up out of the pit.

Did not know we were going to be able to check out what they had on them after the fight, hence why I was doing it now + it seems like we have it under control.

Nevertheless here are my actions for round 3 and 4: searching the alchemist and taking the funnel and the alchemist's fire.

Round 5
"Hold your horses. I'm coming" He took the last extract from his belt and quaffed it.
Cure Light Wounds : 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Then with a swift motion and a little help from an unconscious alchemist step-up Jamir came up from the pit and ran up to the female rogue.
"We would much appreciate if you stopped shooting at us."

Not sure if the -4 to the barbarian's AC from prone was calculated in for your disarm attempt. (I always thought it was a +4 to hit for melee against prone opponents, but comes down to the same thing :))

It is indeed quite quiet in the pit ...

At some point you hear shouting from down in the pit, it's clearly Jamir's voice. "I've got the upper hand down here, be up in a moment!"

Don't want to clog up gameplay, so a few questions :

- As he went down before I did my trip attempt, does that mean I didn't use my inspiration + have my round 3 standard action left? As I would already put the potion away with my move action, as previously stated in my post.
- Would stealing an item from my downed opponent be frowned upon? If not, could I use the steal combat maneuver to steal something from the alchemist's belt? (high chance of success due to his unconscious state ...)

What I do might be different depending on those answers :)

As Jamir saw the alchemist reach for his bomb he gave him another thwack with the sap, trying to throw of his aim.
Attack of opportunity for bomb throwing: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 4 = 17
sap damage if hit: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Seeing the bomb going overhead he tried to dodge some of the flames.
reflex save for half damage vs missed bombed: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

With the alchemist trying to get back his footing, Jamir used the opportunity to slap the guy some more.
Attack of opportunity for him getting up from prone: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 4 = 15
sap damage if hit: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

On his own turn
"I rather preferred you lay back down."
Jamir swiped at the backside of the alchemist's knee, trying to make him buckle and fall over once more.
Trip attempt using inspiration: 1d20 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 4 + (1) = 15

If successful in his attempt he will put the potion away.

Was waiting on my turn. If I got it right the following people still need to go before me :
Tagatha
Glyn
Alchemist

Must admit it was a busy weekend for me as well, so only could check a few times.

I'm having fun in the pit :p ... Curious what will happen next.

With the rush of getting into the fight we did not notice our true enemy. Team Trap! ;)

Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Down I go -.- ... Will change my standard action to standing up. Chances are he took less damage from that fall then me. Let's hope rayne is luckier :)

"Rogue's invisible, Barbarian and wizard on the floor and there's an arrow trap ready to shoot at the table in the center. Alchemist needs to go." Jamir whispered to the others as he rushed forward to the alchemist. He takes on a defensive stance while he swings his sap, trying to connect with the alchemist.
Sap attack (fighting defensively): 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 4 = 18
Sap non-lethal damage if hit: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

moved to H4, fighting defensively getting my AC to 19 & touch AC to 15.

"Well I was planning on using this sap instead of my rapier. Should make certain they don't die. And if all else fails, I'll just have to administer first aid where necessary."

"If you could get the rogue or the alchemist stuck, that would help greatly."

Hmm, a wizard, alchemist, barbarian and rogue. Depending on their abilities we'll be quite evenly matched I think.

Jamir gulped down his extract and looked at the others and then at Rayne.

"I think it's best you keep that barbarian on the ground, while we take out the wizard. I can make certain I can get to him real fast. Also watch out for the rogue trying to stab us in the back and the bombs that alchemist will most likely be throwing at us."

"Tagatha could you maybe throw one of your spells at the wizard when you see he's about to cast. Should make it difficult for him to concentrate."

Round 1: Drinking Heightened Awareness extract (will use its secondary ability to improve my initiative)

Round 2: Talking tactics with the party.

Round 3: Drinking Expeditious Retreat extract.

"Am I right in thinking that our opponents are the scorpion princes?" Jamir inquired.

What did I get myself talked into this time.
Jamir takes out one of his extracts Heightened Awareness and plans to drink it before entering the arena.

I'm curious as to what we'll get ourselves into this time around :)

Uncertain if Rifiki's potion box is still around. Didn't see it when I originally dotted the thread. If it is:

Jamir looked at the box of potions. Wonder what they are. Doesn't matter. Blue, is a nice color, I'll take that one.

"Thanks for the potion, it'll come in handy I'm sure."

.

What silly game are you two playing? :p

Jamir should be fully updated.

Might still buy an item or 2, maybe even craft some alchemical items, but for the rest I'm good :)

Down Time money-making for encounter not participated in.
Craft(Alchemy): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Craft(Alchemy): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Craft(Alchemy): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Craft(Alchemy): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Craft(Alchemy): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Craft(Alchemy): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Craft(Alchemy): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Craft(Alchemy): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Total: 28 + 25 + 24 + 27 + 32 + 20 + 14 + 27 = 197/2 = 98 gp 5 SP

I'm a bit confused about the downtime money making.
How many times am I allowed to roll for it?

lvl 2 hp: 1d8 ⇒ 5

That's nice :)

In the process of updating to lvl 2.

Jamir moved around into a flanking position and attacked the cockatrice, hoping to end the fight quickly.

Rapier attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 = 23
Damage if hit: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Crit confirm? (with inspiration if possible): 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 2 + (2) = 18
crit damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"I knew these little ones couldn't have been the only ones around. Let's use its anger against it. Strike with your spells when it gets in range."

He then directs himself to the enlarged barbarian.
"Please resist the urge to charge in. Wait for it to come to you, then strike before it can attack you."
If I am correct, seeing as you are enlarged, you currently threaten 5ft & 10ft with your hammer, so you can normally get an attack of opportunity + a readied attack in before it can actually attack you.

While speaking, Jamir takes on a defensive pose.
Going total defense for +4 dodge bonus to AC

"Well they aren't exactly chickens, but I do think these are the ones he sent us to get."

Jamir looked at the Pile formerly known as Cockatrice ...

"He did say he didn't care whether we brought them back dead or alive, but I do think he wanted more than just a tail, but that could just be me?"

He used martial flexibility for improved grapple so normally no aoo
Jamir spent the first round explaining why you shouldn't get pecked by a cockatrice. When he saw what happened, he moved around to the other side of the grappled bird and stabbed at it with his rapier.
Rapier attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 +2 for flanking?
Damage if hit: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Don't forget that it is non-lethal damage it deals once the damage is reduced to below 1 damage point. Not certain if it will be important, but it might :)

Inspired Knowledge(Arcana): 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (18) + 8 + (1) = 27
I knew it wouldn't be any ordinary chickens!! I think I've seen one of these before in a book. What were they called again ...

Jamir will act once his brain tells him the proper information ;)

not without the key he ain't ;) But Jamir was going to open the door when everyone gave their ok, which I guess would be after Kala's reply ^_^, so carry on ...

Jamir looked at the group and spoke with a slightly concerned voice.
"That wizard didn't tell us everything about those chickens, so be prepared for anything. Does anyone still need to prepare spells or something like that?"

Mostly looking in the direction of our wizard in this case :)

The others seem eager to get their hands dirty. Let's hope I'm just overthinking this and it's just regular old chickens ...

Jamir's demeanor changed a bit and he continued with a more upbeat attitude.
"If everyone's ready, let's get this show on the road. The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can get back to the inn."

Old and decrepit chickens? I could get 75000 of those down at the market with my share alone, maybe 37500 if he only wants a specific breed or color. There must be something up with the ones he wants, else he wouldn't pay this kind of money for them, let alone have them stuck in an extra-dimensional space.

Jamir looked at Dudly with a face clearly showing that he found his excuse difficult to believe.
"I mean no disrespect sir ... Dudly, was it? But if they were just some old and decrepit chickens, I could go get them for you at the market. I don't know about the others, but I do want to help you. I just like to know what exactly I'm getting into before committing to it."

Going to wait a bit to see what the others have to say about this :)

1500 gold pieces each? ... for 2 chickens? ... Must be a catch somewhere ... "Is there something specific we need to know about these chickens?" Jamir said, looking at the wizard.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Does he seem sincere? Holding back something? Is there a catch?

Wonder what a wizard would need a chicken wrangler for? ... Seems to be your typical wizard, gruff but businesslike ... Potions are always interesting. Maybe he needs some chickens for a specific concoction? ... No potions for us at the moment, sir. We saw the help wanted sign in the Roaming Dragon Inn. You need a chicken wrangler, sir?

Jamir is ready to go :)
