Rutabaga by redeux's page

Thanks for running! Sorry i somehow had the discussion muted. Was a lot of fun!

"Yay... When we get back I'll make a massive banquet for all. Yummy food for everyone,"Popcorn beams at the success of the mission.

[dice=cooking lore]1d20+4

While not the worse food imaginable its servicable.

"Oh I will help, I love making meals for friends! Baga says.

-------

During the debriefing Baga's smile lessens somewhat, "I only wish there was more we could've done. Something is going on out there. I'm glad we got the refugees out while we could. But there is still more to be done"

He waits for things to calm down before he asks, "Who is ready to eat?!"

Baga dodges both strikes and takes the chance to trip the skeleton once more. This time his sweeping motion doesn't seem as effective so he instead drops his Scythe and tries to grab onto the pile of bones! While trying to grab the creature, the paladin releases positive energy through his free hand.

Trip w/ Scythe vs Reflex DC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 If crit fail, drop scythe, otherwise release it as free action
Grapple vs Fort DC: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 5 = 18 If success -> Grapped (circumstance penalty)

Lay on Hands, DC 15 basic fort, positive dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 1 If fail, -2 status penalty to AC for 1 round

Actions: ◆Trip ◇Drop Scythe ◆Grapple ◆Lay on Hands
Reaction ↺ An enemy damages your ally, and both are within 15 feet of Baga: Retributive Strike!

Baga runs to the far end of the battlefield and moves behind the remaining skeletal figure. Then the orc paladin swing's his diety's favored weapon wide and attempts to sweep the skeleton's bones out from under it.

Attempt to Trip w/ Scythe Vs Red's Reflex DC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
If critical success, B dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3

"It's harvest time!" the farmer says with a chuckle.

Actions: ◆Stride ◆Stride ◆Trip w/ Scythe
Reaction ↺ An enemy damages your ally, and both are within 15 feet of Baga: Retributive Strike!

Baga follows the group into the fray and sets up a flanking position with Ebren. The farmer then attempts to cut down the green skeletal figure!

Strike Green w/ Scythe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
S Dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 | if crit, +deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Actions: ◆Stride ◆Stride ◆Strike
Reaction ↺ An enemy damages your ally, and both are within 15 feet of Baga: Retributive Strike!

"Agreed. Better to get the refugees out now before things get more dangerous. Less innocent victims to come back fighting against the living."

Seeing the Knight of Lastwall reminds Baga what their true mission has been, and he sighs in relief. "Steadfast, yes we are set to help steadfast!" the smiling orc says softly.

Looks like posts crossed paths, late for bed so just rolling.
Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Hero point, slide updated
Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Society: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Lore: Warfare: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 Pathfinder dedication, untrained
Lore: Scouting: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Baga carefully observes, silently, and tries to think of anything he learned in his pathfinder training.

"can the undead hear us?" Baga asks softly in case they can. His eyes scour the surrounding area for danger.

Scouting Lore+4 (trained)

After a quick run that barely got Baga winded, he turns around and returns to the rest of the party. "Allow me" he says to Cordelia as he offers his hand over her remaining wound. Lay on Hands, +6 HP to Cordelia

Baga then spends 10 minutes ensuring the health of the nearby vegetation Refocus

Pathfinder Lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Returning back to the camp area, Baga puzzles over the placement of things. "This campsite looks like it is maybe a crude map of the nearby area. Maybe Calisro Bennarry would be happy with this information if we copied transferred it to paper."

Seeing Tux get healed, Baga focuses on the skeleton shooting arrows. The orc closes the distance and gets behind the archer.

Actions: ◆Stride ◆Stride ◆Stride
Reaction ↺ An enemy damages your ally, and both are within 15 feet of Baga: Retributive Strike!

"Wait for me!" Baga says as he runs after his companions and spots a skeleton. The burly orc then prepares to swing his scythe.

Strike Blue w/ Scythe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
S Dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 | if crit, +deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Actions: ◆Stride ◆Stride ◆Strike Blue
Reaction ↺ An enemy damages your ally, and both are within 15 feet of Baga: Retributive Strike!

Baga glances at the writings, unsure if he'll be able to help. On some level, however, the writings seem to connect with what he's learned from Jaidi's teachings. Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

"Had fallen trees all the time on the farm. Couldn't just leave them there" Baga says as he offers his willingness to try to lift or cut through it.

Athletics (E): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Baga looks around and only the living are still moving and sighs in relief. Then the champion walks over to Tux, "Allow me" he says, motioning to Tux's wound and preparing to Lay on Hands. +6 HP to Tux. Baga then will refocus, if the party isn't in a rush, by ensuring the nearby vegetation is in good health. And if we had 20 minutes, he'd lay on hands/refocus again to top Tux off

looks like Strike against Tux would trigger retributive strike, from baga's last post's spoiler: take a step and 26 to hit for 7 slashing (and +2 deadly if it was a a crit). Tux would take 4 less damage as well

"No one hurts my friends!!" Baga shouts as he steps towards the horse and swings his scythe with all his might.

After the first swing, Baga prepares another swing, grunting as he strains himself.
Strike vs dead horse w/ Scythe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
S Dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 | if crit, +deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 6 | = 34 damage O.O

If horse is still standing, will continue attacking, otherwise will take two actions to stride/step to be 5' N of Cordelia

Reaction ↺ An enemy damages your ally, and both are within 15 feet of Baga: Retributive Strike!

Baga draws his scythe and move towards the zombie and dead horse. "So this is what all the talk is about?" He remarks as he attempts to strike the blue zombie.

Strike w/ Scythe vs blue: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
S Dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 | if crit, +deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 7

"Well, good thing you talked them down. Sold all my belongings to buy this full plate and scythe. Barely have a gold to my name." Baga says gratefully.

Scouting Lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Leading, since i think +4 is our highest between the two skills.
The burly orc studies the surrounding area, "I have limited experience tracking and scouting on the farm. I think she was moving in this general direction though"

"Crossing tax?" Baga tilts his head curiously, "Under what authority? I don't think this needs to be a big deal. We're simply going in, and don't want any trouble."

Baga has no purchases and lets others take/hold the vials of bottled sunlight/holy water

During the first few days of travel, Baga continues to give a toothy smile every chance he can get. He otherwise keeps a look out for anything that moves since he still isn't 100% clear what undead look like.

Will scout if no one else is, otherwise search

I also have 4 gm glyphs as well, so we have enough to cover the table. updated slides so everyone starts with 2 hero points

It also looks like 3 of us havent updated marching order. Baga can be front/middle/back. Have been waiting to see where everyone else wants to be.

Baga has PFS Lore+4

"I'm not the best at stealth, but I've got a Scythe. Served me well for many years" He is at least trained in stealth, but +4

You meet a rather intimidating flower leshy who walks up to you all and says,"Hi. Im Popcorn. Im exploring the world to help become a better cook. If you need me to hit stuff really hard or make an omelette Im your gal."

Turning to Baga she says,"This is my second mission. The first mission involved a weird talking skull who couldn't stop making puns. "

...

Baga's eyes grow wide and his smile somehow gets even bigger as the burly Orc stares at Popcorn. He almost seems to miss what Popcorn says to him,"Oh, interesting!" he says in response to the talking skull. " And you are Leshy?" he asks but immediately continues "Baga has sworn to Jaidi to protect plants. I will defend you with my life."

---------

Baga silently listens to the briefing, remembering his training to ask lots of questions but the farmer can't seem to come up with any except a rhetorical question: "Zombies, huh?" Never seen one of them on the farm. And no Knights of Death either". He shrugs but continues to smile.

An always smiling, burly Orc awakes for a new day and dons his full plate. Years ago he left his farm for a short while to take on some extra jobs, but soon he returned to his farm and cared for his crops. Baga never shook the thrill of adventuring though, and had he not gone on adventuring this farmer never would have learned what a leshy was! It's been two years since last adventured and met Gordon the gourd leshy. Reflecting on his old adventures, Baga is eager to see what new adventures might be in store for him.

He picks up an odd looking backpack that appears to have been previously used to carry crops on his back. After putting his arms through the straps, he picks up his scythe and offers a small prayer to Jaidi:

Jaidi, who showers me with blessings and bounty, guide my steps as I start this new adventure. Help me work hard for the good of all, keep the earth green, and never waste what you've given us. May my actions reflect your generosity and care. With you as my guide, let us sow seeds of hope and harvest joy. Let's do some good together.

He finishes, invigorated, and sets out the door of his lodging. It's a bit disorienting for Baga to be surrounded by so many people but he makes his way towards the lodge and introduces himself, "I'm Baga! he says simply pronouncing it "BAH-GAH". "It is my first mission too, Tux!" he continues with hearty excitement.

Mechanically, Baga is a level 2 champion. He has the pathfinder agent dedication but is otherwise a fairly standard Paladin who will punish enemies who attack his friends

Settled on my lvl 2 champion and filled out everything except marching order. Baga can fit in front/back/midline so will let others pick their preferred marching order.

For the horde!!!!

Miladistra visibly relaxes as they enter the marketplace. She slows down to glance at the fruit and veggies. Some are dirty. Some are moldy. Some are... surprisingly fresh. She's tempted to buy some rutabaga when panic breaks out.

I am not for sale!!
