Kaitanu's page

I need to redo this character as a Urogue but would be interested. Only has 1 scenario under his belt.

PFS: # 106385-5

Thanks for running this.

"I would have liked to have taken Nessian permanently out of commission, but at least we stopped him. Let's get this logbook back to the Lodge so it can't be used again," Kaitanu says as they exit the tower.

Before returning, he searches for the arrows that missed their targets.

low: 3d100 ⇒ (78, 69, 43) = 190

Tsadok swings at Nessian as he runs away.

AoO attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6) + 4 = 15
miss?: 1d100 ⇒ 1

He then runs after him to catch up. Double move and loops around to the south to flank with Ziggy and avoid AoO.

Kaitanu also moves out of the tower and shoots an arrow at him.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
miss?: 1d100 ⇒ 54
Oh, so close

Tsadok takes a swing at the leader.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 = 14

While Kaitanu fires another arrow at the closest thug.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

BTW, I'm fully healed but forgot to change my stat block. Malaika healed me before we initially left the tower.

Kaitanu turns around to see a thug enter the tower. He takes a step towards the corner to create some space and then fires another arrow.

attack(purple): 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Just before they run to the north tower, Kaitanu hears the thugs coming out to the south.

"I guess we needed to be more patient. Let's use their poor judgement against them," he says as he moves back into the tower and over to the arrow slit facing the entrance to the central tower. He takes aim at a thug and shoots his bow.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11 extra +1 is if thug within 30'
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 same

Tsadok guards the door and prepares to attack any thug that attempts to enter while Malaika watches out of the north arrow slit for Ziggy.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 = 16

"Thank you, Malaika, for healing me. It looks like Ziggy has decided we are moving on. Let's step outside and get ready to run to the north tower."

The remaining 3 move outside to the edge of the tower, preparing to run to the front of the next tower. All will double move to north tower next round. Kaitanu followed by Malaika and then Tsadok.

Looks like running to the nearest tower was a mistake. Based on the attacks, there's 2 thugs in the central tower firing and 1 in each of the surrounding towers. If we move to the north tower first, both thugs in center tower might not get to fire at us (unless there are more than 2 in there.)

Or we can just rush the center tower. Maybe have Tsadok use the body of the thug we killed as a shield to draw fire, then we make a run for it.

Any thoughts?

"That's not good. This is not going as planned at all."

Are there arrow slits in all of the outward-facing walls? Assuming there are ...

Kaitanu moves to an arrow slit in the SW wall, ready to fire an arrow at any thugs he sees outside.

readied attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"Malika, take the thug's crossbow and watch to the north. Tsadok, check to see if there is a way into the tower from here. If we can't get in from here, I think we should move counter-clockwise through the outer rooms to thin out the number of enemies before trying to get into the main tower," he says as quietly as possible.

Tsadok moves to the NW wall to search for a secret door.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

With the immediate threat removed, Kaitanu puts away his rapier and picks up his bow and looks around the tower.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Does anyone see a way into the main tower from here?"

Surprised to find himself in the room alone, Kaitanu takes a step backward towards the corner to create some distance between himself and the thug and shoots an arrow at him.

ranged attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Ziggy, help!" he yells as his arrow doesn't take out the thug and he sees his is cornered. He drops his bow and draws his rapier.

I think I can do all of that. If not, I will not drop my bow.

Tsadok inspects the door before proceeding in ready to clear it out. Assuming no traps. He will also attack any guards.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 +2 for hidden things.
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 = 13

"Come on Malaika. I'm hoping we can get in this way," Kaitanu says as he moves to the doorway and gets ready to fire an arrow at any guards.

ranged attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6 Unmodified
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Yeah, that didn't go as planned. Let's get inside quickly before they start firing arrows at us. I'll try to cover you." he says as he nocks another arrow and prepares to fire at anyone exiting a door.

readied attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Tsadak moves to the tower to the right as it is the closest. He stops just outside the door with his greatsword ready to swing at anyone who exits.

readied attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 5) + 4 = 11

Wow, that's got to be a record for bad rolling.

With a clear shot, Kaitanu fires another arrow at the dog.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 15
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Tsadok also takes another swing.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 1) + 4 = 10

Kaitanu tries to sneak around the east side of the rocks in order to surprise the dog with a bow attack.

stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7 -1 if not sneak attack

As Kaitanu fires his bow, Tsadok come out from behind the rock and rushes to the dog swinging his greatsword.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 1) + 4 = 10

:( Should have had someone else roll. So much for keeping the dog quiet. Come on Ziggy!

Lol, oops, my bad. I didn't see there was a new map.

Ok, so if I go around the east side of the rock & attack w/ bow, Ziggy & Tsadok can engage the dog from the west side & hopefully take it out before it can react.

How far away are we from the dog? We could use a sleep spell now.

"Malaika, can I hold on to this balm for now in case it is needed? Let's get going to the tower," Kaitanu says as he tries to recover the arrow that missed.

low: 1d100 ⇒ 80

yeah, i was hoping to finish him off so you didnt have to use the last one. They are immune to piercing damage so hopefully we will be able to engage them in melee. there is still enough balm to coat 6 pieces of ammunition.

Kaitanu fires a balm covered arrow at the last creature but rushes his shot and misses.

ranged attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 2d4 ⇒ (3) + (3, 3) = 9

Too much pressure! :(

Seeing that the arrows seem to be working, Kaitanu applys the balm to 2 more arrows.

Boting...

Tsadok climbs onto the keys.
climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 I don't know what penalty kikko armor has.

Kaitanu takes a step back from the alter to have a clearer shot at the far creature with the last arrow with balm.

Ranged attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 2d4 ⇒ (5) + (3, 3) = 11

GM - thanks for the generous interpretation re: balm

How high is the alter? Does it block me from shooting or can I climb onto it easily?

Holy weapon balm: This violet balm comes in a small ceramic pot. When applied to a weapon as a standard action, it forms a transparent coating. Weapons coated in this balm deal an additional 2d4 points of damage to undead or evil outsiders. A creature affected by the balm must succeed at a DC 10 Reflex save or take an additional 1d4 points of damage the following round. Any non-magical weapon coated with the balm affects incorporeal undead or evil outsiders as if it were a magic weapon.

Assuming he has an unobstructed shot ...

I hope this works.

Having dropped his mace to apply the balm, Kaitanu draws back one of the arrows he just applied the balm to and takes aim at the nearest enemy.

Ranged attack(blue): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 2d4 ⇒ (4) + (3, 4) = 11

Kaitanu moves over to the altar to grab the jar. Not wanting to waste the balm if it doesn't work, he applies it to 2 of his arrows.

Looks like it will coat 10 arrows. I'm concerned it's a piercing weapon issue so I'm not sure it will work. But willing to try so we don't have to climb all over to get them.

Botting...

Tsadok moves up to the organ to help boost Malaika up.

Seeing Malaika take care of the creatures on the ground, both Kaitanu and Tsadok run up to the front of the room.

botting Tsadok

Remebering that his arrows passed right through these creatures, Kaitanu pulls out his mace and moves along the back wall.

"To the cathedral then. We cant fight an armada!"

"Not again. Yagos, what do those lights mean?" he says pointing at the lights.

"Let's go find that tower," Kaitanu says as they exit the sewers.

perc: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Kaitanu continues to look over the last box. "I can't figure out how to open this panel. Maybe this wording is the trigger, but I can't make any of it out. Anyway, we only needed to open 3 to get what we needed and we got 4, so I consider that a success. Let's let Torch know what we have found and get our information."

"Oh, a riddle. Let's see, what could it mean? Well, first off, what are types of white birds? Swan, dove, seagull, goose. But what do they mean about a "once prior leap of might"? Anyone have any ideas?" Kaitanu thinks out loud and asks his companions.

Riddles are always challenging in a rp sense. Is my character smart enough to figure it out? I think Malaika would be able to though.

Kaitanu looks at the red box, thinking for a moment. He focuses on how angry he is getting having to spend time opening these boxes and then screams at the red one.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 1 = 13 +1 for guidance

Kaitanu looks over the next box with Ziggy, trying to help him find anything.

Aid another(perception): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Sense motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Lets do this systematically and maximize our chances of success. Based on GM's post, we need to do each chest individually. We've searched the first chest. Continuing down the list, Ziggy should search while the rest of us aid him and Tsadok will cast guidance. Then I will try to unlock or disable traps.

Sorry if I was moving too quickly. I will again have Tsadok cast guidance before every skill check.

Kaitanu inspects the iron case closely for any traps or indications of how to unlock it.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16

Kaitanu whispers to the others, "I'm not sure I like doing his dirty work for him, but we don't have 6000 gold and we need to find out where this Nessian fellow is. I'll give it a try. Let him know we will try and find out where they are. Try to figure out what he's really up to."

Use sense motive. When we are at the safes, I will remove my armor to remove -1 penalty and have Tsadok cast guidance on me before every attempt. If I am able to take 20, it would give me 29, otherwise...

Aid another(sense motive): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

open lock: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 17
open lock: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 = 28
open lock: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24
open lock: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12
open lock: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 1 = 20

Well said. The less the better but I imagine he knows everything anyway given that he's Torch.

Malaika, you want to handle the interaction with Torch? You have bluff and a better diplo than I do.

Kaitanu shakes his head. "Unfortunately, we don't have a choice now do we? Where can we find him?"

Kaitanu looks at the chest of poison. "Let's dispose of this properly before it gets used for the wrong purposes. It seems we were able to get here in time. I hope we continue to be so lucky."

I'm assuming we searched the entire building. If not, we will do so before leaving.

Kaitanu lets Ziggy carry the heavy chest out of the granery.

"Unless there is something else we need to attend to, where can we find this code book you had stolen?" he says as he looks around for any more light signals.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Kaitanu puts away his mace and picks his bow back up. He also tries to recover the arrow that missed.

low: 1d100 ⇒ 67

"What are these things? Malaika, can you tell if they poisoned the grain?"

He then searches the figures and the area.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Kaitanu begins to maneuver around the creature for a better attack.

Attack(cold-iron mace): 1d20 ⇒ 15
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

I dont have access to map. I will move up if needed so im within 30' of last foe.

Seeing that his arrows are useless against these creatures, Kaitanu drops his bow and pulls out his mace. He then positions himself so that he may be able to attack the last one if his companions dont finish it off first.

Kaitanu is pleasantly surprised that he was able to take one out, but feels exposed so he withdraws to Ziggy's location. Readying another arrow for any of the figures to advance.

Readied Ranged attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Kaitanu shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head no as he whispers, "No idea. I hope our Aasimar friend there can help with them. Unless someone has a better idea, why don't I try to get into range to take a shot, then hopefully draw them back towards here where the rest of you will be waiting."

Unless someone has a better idea:

Kaitanu moves counter-clockwise around the NE pile of grain to try to stay out of sight for as long as possible. He then moves just inside the north room and waits for an opportunity to take a shot at the figure on the right.

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Ranged attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 18 Assuming soft cover from grain.
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Sneak attack: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

After the shot, he moves back around the corner to the south room.

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Since he hasn't logged on recently, can we bot Tsadok?

Also, Malaika, have you put a skill point into each of the knowledge skills you have listed?
