Joli looks around the field as mass confusion begins to claim the hearts and minds of his teammates.

He braces for the chaos!

Will vs Droning Distraction (DC 22): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Undeterred, Joli keeps focus.

Howling with controlled and almost-joyous rage, Joli strides to just underneath the wailing wihsaak and swats it with the long side of his bo.

Fortitude vs 19 sonic (DC 23): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

Joli withstands the brunt. Prepares to retaliate!

Joli strides forward, confident in his team, bo in hand, ready to be ambushed by unseen dangers!

Defend

”A trophy” Jolinaxus remarks ”We shall eliminate this threat” and heaving his bo, walks towards the village to ask around ”We are here to remove the creature. Anything you can tell us about it’s capabilities would help”

Diplomacy (E) w/ Monstrous Peacemaker (+1): 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 1 = 25

"In order to take a life, you must first come to appreciate life. If you do not, you will lose yourself. To fight means to take life, and the taking of life should not come easy. Do not lose yourself. Find the interconnectedness of all, love yourself, and love your enemy. Only then can you be ready to take his life"

He continues to spar with the young man.

Merciful Bo Staff (B, reach, parry, non-lethal): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

Joli spars wooden sword vs wooden bo, giving the boy a punishment but careful not to cross the line into breaking him ”A warrior must know peace before going to war. If you cannot love your opponent, you cannot defeat him, for you are of one flesh, even when hailing from different country” he intersperses the blow by blow with nuggets of accumulated wisdom drawn from his own philosophy.

Athletics (T) vs DC 20: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

”Bjenson, it is important to honor your ancestors and predecessors, and it is imperative that you form your own path. But it is up to you to figure out how to do both”

Jolinaxus's retaliation is brutality on display - arcane fury flares through his nostrils, filling his prey's heart with fear, and gripping it tightly, he tears into it's neck with his powerful tusks, opening a gushing artery, and consumes it's blood, howling a war cry as he steals it's power!

Will Save vs Horrifying Blood Loss (Frighened 1+ while bleeding) vs DC: 20 = 20

◇) Release one hand from bo
◇) Grapple vs Yellow

Joli wraps his fist around the top of the creature's maw, and gripping down with furious strength, holds it fast!

"You will regret that" he warns it, flashing his own menacing tusks with violent intent.

Keeping both foes within easy reach, Joli whirls his Bo over his head, and cracks down on the beast harassing Glenda.

◆) Step
◆◆) Strike x2 vs Yellow

Merciful Bo Staff (B, reach, parry, non-lethal) w/ Bloodrage (+2, plus 1 bleed) vs Yellow Beast: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 172d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 = 16

Taken aback at the suddenness, Joli's rage is eclipsed by that of the beast...

Demoralize (Intimidation, Expert, Prowess, Tattoo) w/ Intimidating Glare vs Pink (Will DC): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Joli follows Jinlong, bo in hand, raised in case of danger.

An excellent listener, Joli stands still, makes eye contact, and keeps his attention politely focused on the exploits shared. If anyone makes distracting noises while someone else is speaking, he gives them a look...

Aid Storyteller 1 w/ Diplomacy (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Aid Storyteller 2 w/ Diplomacy (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Aid Storyteller 3 w/ Diplomacy (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

With respect, Joli bows before Viltydus "How may we be of assistance pruning the plant of Greatness as it is defined here in Port Valen"

He keeps one eye on the edge of the wood itself.

Jolinaxus bows one half-orc to another. His tusks betray a smile. He pauses before speaking, making sure that his breathing comes naturally.

"Fostering Greatness will not be easy - for nothing that is Great is also Easy" Joli considers the vague idealogical mission objective and asks "What qualities might this Viltydus define as being described as Great? I could think of a few, but I'm more interested to understand the context of this community and forest"

At the briefing, our striking Rainkin Dromaar looks befitting in his current-mode fashion Taldane masculine suit, handsome and ample tusks meticulously cleaned and possessed of sheer ivory lustre, long knotted neatly-bound hair adding an almost feminine excitement to the otherwise 'business as usual' air of subtle menace that only men who present themselves as wealthy, knowledgable and competent can project, the only detail out of place, here, being the bo-staff with soft purple runes affixed to his back.

Beside him, another orc, dressed up in equal measure, but of a slighter bearing, straigtens his glasses, and nodding to the former, who returns the simple gesture, walks ahead with an air of importance.

He asks his client behind him "I am usure you will be in need of my assistance here - let us find out..."

"Final wave”

Getting into position, Joli empowers his ally’s implement again with unstable electric static

Joli activates a few soothing pressure points on his body while he honors those whose blood he consumed and meditates.

CS: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
99/100 HPs

Joli quenches his bloodlust - in a surprise move, he pushes his bo against the man’s chest, and gores his head with his prominent tusks, causing a gout of fresh blood to spill forth in a shower of radiant gore, coating his own face red. With a howl, our peaceful hero revels in the carnage - his body surges with a second burst of energy!

◆) Strike

Whirling his bo, Joli takes a swing at the remaining soldiers, trying to knock them down with non-lethal might, that they don't share the fate of their fallen leader. Ms. Perkin's guidance assists him with the backswing.

Joli defends his alchemical ally by beating a single fist onto his chest, and whirling his Bo to crank, before matching his foe’s defensive posture with his own, setting his feet like a beast just waiting for a killing opening.

The thundercloud above our hero crackles with yet more energy - he directs a twin blast straight through the barracade, and whirling his bo, crashes it into the striker who has burst his own line!

Merciful Bo Staff (B, reach, parry, non-lethal) w/ Bloodrage (+2, plus 1 bleed) vs Red Striker: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 322d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8, 1) + 4 + 2 = 15

Joli calls the sky, and strikes the Aspis Leader with a bolt of lightning, stoking his own excitement.

”Let’s hold the fort!”

◆◆) Thunderstrike
◆) Rage

Basic Reflex vs Electricity and Sonic (DC 20) vs White Oppressor: 2d12 ⇒ (3, 5) = 82d4 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Jolinaxus Strangemuse rides the wave of blood-fueled rage he allows to supercharge his autonomic nervous system. He assumes a defensive posture and lets his bo do the talking.

Joli makes his rounds to ensure that everyone is alright.

He remains quiet and prepared to go once the team have made their preparations.

Joli tries to finish off red, and advances slowly. He keeps his guard, and his bo, trained on both Hryngar...

Joli’s rage gets the better of him - his first strike crashes against the ground. Setting his feet better, he whirls 360 degrees, and let’s another whirl of his Bo hopefully find home!

Joli spots them "Aim there!" he instructs Henri.

◆) Seek
◆) Point Out

He runs around the other side to protect Ms. Perkins...

In the direction of the footsteps, Joli tries to look for signs…

Keeping his rage at bay, Joli saddles next to Kernal Klank, and raising his bo high, crashes it onto the ground, pulsing an electrical burst, which he touches into the dwarf's warhammer - it crackles with potential spark!

◆) Step
◆◆) Conductive Weapon (Klank's warhammer has Shock ((+1d6 electricity on hit; CS > arcs vs two more foes w/in 10 feet of target)))

Squaring his posture as his allies's healing energies repair the damage to his body, Joli holds rank with Klank and finishes the job clean.

Reciprocally tearing off a piece of his foe's body, he consumes the Demons black blood (!!), and his body's weakened state re-invigorates, the fear leaving him, he stands firm and resolute!

"I will tear your flesh from your fiendish body" he warns the beast...

Joli unleashes his full blood - his fury crackles like lightning, his bo striking like thunder - he ravages the devils in front of them, hoping to clear the hall!

His body hemorrhages from the weakness that exposes himself from using his cursed magic - fueling in him a hunger for violence beyond anything he has allowed his teammates to see until this point. He opens his mouth and howls with fury, his massive tusks lashing, the calm, gentle eyes giving way instead to bloodshot, angry daggers!

Relying on his teammates wayfinders, Joli squints to see through the lowlight just beyond their radii, his bo poised defensively as he keeps pace with the kernal.

Awaking refreshed, Joli dusts his fine clothes, and heads to the temple behind the kernel.

Joli wades in, walking calmly along the ground, and with a guarded stance, attempts to free the alchemist...

For distribution of the Perkins potions, Joli assesses the physicality of his team...

..."Four of us are strong swimmers" he observes, and nods to the witch.

He happily takes lead, before or after the kernal, and keeps his Bo poised for Defense...
