Jo' Ki Smirf's page

Not seeing a good place for a bomb, and assuming the ineffectiveness of a sling stone against the type of foe they face, Jo"Ki abstains from any attempt at an offensive action. Instead, he cheers his allies on and takes a look around the area for anything unusual.

"Good show fellows!"

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

"As we can see what the present area offers us, do we retrace our steps to see if the flames have died down in the pit to scour for goodies? I believe we have another route we have not examined, also."

Where is the unchecked route? Is it another exit from this particular room? Is it possible to get a stick sketch of where we have been and the available routes? If I get a detailed directional, I would be ok with mapping on my own, and sharing an updated version if coached on how to introduce it into the game.

"The belt suits you Ulmah!"

The blue goblin points out the picture of the key to the party,

"Be on the lookout for this key here, it is the activation for this green pillar, i believe..."

He stuffs the parchment into his pack.

"Right, shall we be off then?"

He move to the exit from this room, once there, he attempts to move ahead into the unknown stealthily-carefully eyeing the new areas for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Stealth (just under full nornmal speed): 1d20 + 14 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 14 - 5 = 22

The Blue catches up to the room and spies the scrolls,

"Just in case this is important, I will take a look at the writing."

Having saved an extract slot, Jo'Ki digs into his equipment and prepares an extract of Comprehend Languages (1 minute of work) and peruses the parchment.

Shaking his head, Jo'Ki snaps out of a severe disconnection from reality and catches up.

"Hey, wait up friends!"

"Let us just return them to the natural state of being naturally dead."

The Blue goblinoid steps up and takes a swing with his recently recollected mace.

Mace: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
DMG/bludgeoning: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"I don't suppose we venture down and check the lair for loot...?"

Missed that stabilize was being cast at range and thought Ulmah was already all the way out of the pit-If it matters my previous OOC post stands that if Jo'Ki thought Ulmah was in any emminent danger from his bomb he won't toss one in

With Ulmah safely out of the spider's grasp, Jo'Ki sees his opportunity. With a quick series of deft movements he mixes up a volatile vial of volcanic violence and wings it at the spider.

BOMB vs TOUCH: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
DMG...FIRE!: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

SLING: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
DMG: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Jo'Ki pulls out his sling and loads a stone

Alchemist bombs do fire damage, however due to the fact that the Explosive bomb discovery (which he does not have) specifically states that a direct hit from that sort of bomb catches the direct hit on fire-I am not sure what a regular bombs fire damage will do to putting Ulmah in any danger of iterative consequences by using a bomb-I have precise bomb which will allow Jo'Ki to discount up to 3 spaces of splash-specifically avoiding Ulmah's space plus p to 2 spaces around her to avoid any consequences from burning through webs. I will make an intelligence check, a perception check and knowledge dungeoneering to cover any knowledge he already does not have from his experience with his class ability. If there is any doubt whatsoever or any known chance of putting her in an even worse position-falling/burning etc., he will drop his weapon aside for a FREE action, draw his sling with his MOVE, and load it with a stone as his STANDARD

Jo'Ki takes a quick assessment of thew situation

PERC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
KNOW DUN: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
INT: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

to go with posted turn above

Obviously daydreaming as he neglects his scouting duties, Jo'Ki snaps to attention when he hears Ulmah's cry of surprise as she falls into the pit. He takes out an extract of CLW MOVE and drains it into his Touch Injection sac. STANDARD

"Right! Now that we've sold the incidentals, what's next on the agenda friends?"

Having returned the goblin, the Blue fades away with his party, heeding Horkut's sensible assessment.

Assuming the night wnet without incident

In the morning, Jo'Ki prepares two extracts of Cure light Wounds, once again leaving one open for field use. He cocks his head and usese his repletion ability to deliver the days sustenance to his body.

"Ahhhh!"

2nd level hp(+1 CON +1 Favored class0: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Dhamphir are living beings who are harmed by positive energy they fall in their own category. In this case she could be targetted by the channel that heals and harmed by it.

Handicapping a player with rules like that...Paizo should have thought that out better-idiotic on THEIR part if you ask me...which really no one did.

Don't you have to specifically say you are channeling positive to damage undead to actually hurt her? I believe channeling positive to heal allies does not hurt undead as it is an "either/or" thing...

Jo'Ki puts away his weapon and approaches the goblin prisoner, palms up showing he is unarmed. He speaks in goblin, trying to use small words, so as not to threaten him with eloquence.

In Goblin"I knowz I look like thoz leetle blue meanies, but i am goblin jus like yoo. Wee gonna take you back to Grulk all safe, so don't freak out."

Diplomacy: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17

"I could use a bit of healing. You "guys" ransack this place and i will talk to this guy...if anything the outcome should prove humorous, at least."

The Blue moves up 3 feet 1 diagonal square forward and lobs a bomb at the far mite in the middle.

BOMBvsTOUCH AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
DMG FIRE!: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

4 splash DMG to the adjacent mites(DC13 REF save for 1/2)

Hp:5/10
Seeing a tiny bolt fly his way, Jo'Ki twists just enough to where it fails to score a vital hit. With the mounted king in his face, he decides to take a swing at the tick with his Light Mace.

Smash tha bloodsucker! (flanking w/Horkut?): 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 2 = 21
DMG: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Not wanting to let a twofer get away from him, jo'Ki moves up and lobs a bomb at the tick. Hoping the king is adjacent for splash damage. I do not know how big this room is, but I will use my movement to get to within 40' taking -2 to the attack roll for the second range increment-if not big enough 20' away for no penalty

"Your majesty, I know you cannot understand me, but i would have rather resorted to diplomatic subterfuge than this. As I cannot speak Undercommon, I must, instead, speak BOOM! It's a surprise!"

BOMB vs Tick Touch AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
DMG-FIRE!: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Splash DMG 4 (DC 13 REF for 1/2)

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

At the centipede's attack, Jo'Ki wakes up from his sleepwalking funk and takes a swing at it.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

LightMace: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

DMG: 1d4 ⇒ 3

And misses gloriously,

"I may as well have stayed asleep, sheesh!"

"They speak undercommon. If I could at least communicate with them, I could try and convince them that I'm one of them-even if it meant coming up with a cover story on why I don't have their immunities...but I can't speak their language. I think this is a take by force mission, no matter how stealthily we do it."

If I had a way to actually communicate with them, I would gladly fall into that "prove you are a mite" trap that seemed to be set up...but I do not have a way to explain myself to them...sorry

Seeing the exchange, the Blue understands what it is pretty much going to take to prove he is one of them, and he cannot speak to them to explain himself anyways. He backs out to the entrance to where his party waits.

Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

He reports the room with the two mites, plus any exits, doors, etc he picked up with the perception check.

So they are speaking common?

Perception check to find Goblin prisoner, exits from the room etc: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

It is best to keep me on a first name basis- I tried to rearrange the name so it wouldn't do that-just say Jo'Ki, Joki or "Jo" is fine. When i picked the name, I was not aware of what Paizo did for that specific area

Since you all can technically see what's going on by the text, you should decide what "a reasonable amount of time" means to you...just a thought...

"Depending on the layout and distance i need to travel, it may be counter-productive-and may raise some questions if I'm discovered. I plan on starting with stealth and falling back on my resemblance if noticed. Give me a reasonable amount of time, and then follow as necessary. Besides, if there wasn't any chance of utter failure and dying in the process, what fun would this really be?"

Having created his extract, the Blue proceeds slowly in.

Stealth 1/2 speed: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

"I'm sure that will no doubt come down to me!"

Jo'Ki sits down and prepares his second extract slot he saved for the field, 1 minute of work that of Comprehend languages.

"I won't be able to speak to them if they converse in a language I am not personally familiar with, but it may possibly help if i can at least understand what they are saying..."

He sighs,

"Shame that goblin attack used up my Cure Light Wounds. Hope i don't need it!"

"Yo, Prugrun, a shortspear with a cold iron head would only set me back 2 gold. If we are going to go shopping for appropriate arms, it would be no big deal to get you one."

"I am excited about this plan. Does anyone here know how to speak "Mite"?

The Blue relates to the party what he knows.

Spoiler open

Knowledge (Nature or Arcana-either is the same bonus): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Languages spoken, special attacks, defenses, immunities in that order

Jo'Ki muses on what he currently knows about mites.

Jo'Ki turns to his cohorts and shrugs,

"Due to the rarity of my kind, the question was basically rhetorical...we're dealing with Fey here."

Internally, Jo'Ki scoffs,

"Trickery...and yet you, in no way, think to lump me in with them? Moron!"

Jo'Ki smiles,

"Khabeut’yun, ayo: Du imastut’yun yes vayelum, paron:"

Having been called a "mite" earlier, Jo'Ki's ears perk up a bit. He steps up in an attempt to hopefully help the situation and get some clarity. He speaks in Goblin to assert just what he is,

"Inch’i masin yek’ khosum: Ardyok’ nrank’ kapuyt goblin kam fey bazmazanut’yun. Tarberut’yun ka, gitek’:"

Just clarifying DireMerc, as alchemist bombs require the usage of 1 hand, Jo'Ki will, unless otherwise stated, have his melee weapon drawn at all times while adventuring

Also, I am using Armenian for the Goblin language on Google Translate for flavor-it was an equivalent suggested in a thread I read <--rhyming fool i am B'lll'rikka'Prow!

If you would rather have it I say something, simply typing what I said, and denote that I said it in Goblin, as you did when the rider addressed Jo'Ki, i can do that also.

Jo'Ki facepalms himself,

"You know, that insult I threw at that guy probably ended up coming off like a compliment to him." He shrugs,

"Well, I guess it's not the worst thing making his last moments feel honorable...either way he's dead."

Jo'Ki takes a 5' step back toward Prugrun and throws a bomb at the goblin's dog hoping to end it in the direct hit and the dismounted rider in the splash, taunting the goblin for it's horrible aim the round prior,

"Da im npatakn e, vor yes kts’ankanayik’, vor dzer hayry unenar: DZer mayry petk’ e stipvats liner ts’ekhi mej, vorpeszi haskanak’ dzez:"

Bomb Dog Touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
DMG-Fire!: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

splash damage on rider upon successful hit = 4 DMG- DC 13 REF for 1/2

That's fine, as long as I'm not putting any allies in the splash

Having stepped back from imminent threat, the badly injured blue pops his extract of Cure Light Wounds out and downs it. Not wanting to give the, thus far, well hitting enemies any further advantage, he shakes Horkut's song from his mind.

"Maybe next time I will bop to that ditty, but I'm not hip to that tune right at the moment."

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"They are merely sorting out the parlay outcome before the actual parlay. Mundane goblins are definitely a backwards bunch."

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

If he does not find himself adjacent to a goblin which puts him at risk of an AoO (or is able to take a 5' step away from the threat area, AND the archer is within his bomb's second range increment (40') Jo'Ki will lob a bomb at the archer.

Bomb vs Touch (-2 to hit from 21'-40'): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
DMG-FIRE!: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Jo'Ki's ears perk up,

"I do, as I am sure you all could guess...I do not know exactly how they will take to my bluish nature though. My research has pointed to the presence of Blues in goblin societies resulting in either them being destroyed at birth, or taking over the whole tribe when allowed to live. I believe I will go purchase a potion of Disguise Self, if we have time and it is all the same to everyone else"

Someone did not start the Alchemist with Spellcraft, which is necessary for adding spells/formula into the books

On the shopping trip, Jo'Ki sells his studded leather,1/2 original cost? and buys a set of masterwork studded leather, 10 sling bullets and a spring-loaded wrist sheathe. He straps the wrist sheath on his left arm and loads an extract of Cure Light Wounds in it. Jo'Ki leaves his other extract slot open in case something comes up in the field he can use it to prepare something specific, the Sacramental Cognatogen he prepared that day,was that of the sub-domain of Exploration

Mustafa went shopping as well, so if he is done purchasing when Mustafa goes, Jo'Ki won't mind tagging along

"So, that's eight gold each with an extra two left?"

Seeing Hunter is willing to run the permit errand, the Blue hands Hunter 9 gold,

"Here, I'm willing to make up one of the coin difference."

Jo'Ki then joins the others on the trip to the armory.

That sounds reasonable!
At the sound of the reasonable calculation for the permit, Jo'Ki shrugs off his visions of impersonating a hellknight, "I think that plain old masterwork studded leather would serve me best. I'm with you guys."

"Does anyone know the local protocol of purchasing hellknight armor? I figure if we are to be bluffing and avoiding, I may as well get myself a suit of hellknight leather to aid the trek into subterfuge."

Jo'Ki steps up and signs the contract,

"I guess I will consider it a net 200 win...unless said letter of permit covers the whole group...?"

Jo'Ki's devious mind starts cranking.

"Tell me sir, among these orders of hellknights present, is the Order of the Pike represented...those that patrol the Whisperwood of Cheliax?"

The blue shruge,
"It is something that I have learned to live with. I have never come across anyone to contract it-contact or otherwise-but you may wanna wash that hand really well."
