Kath Undoeth's page

Thank you for running this. Can't say it was my favorite scenario but I think you did great, especially putting up with us players given the delay during the holidays :).

Heh - yeah, Elindriel's Axe Beak mount from Quest for Perfection hasn't exactly been useful.

Grimbli will go ahead and choose the Custom Order boon (I'm thinking that the Lesser Designating enchantment might be helpful, for those times we don't have a bard and Grimbli's out of spells - he just needs a crossbow).

Thanks for the clarifications/discussion/etc.

Lesser Designating is Morale. A Bard's Inspire Courage +hit is Competence. They stack just fine.

What it would not stack with are such things as Bless, Flagerbearer feat, or one of my new favorite feats Battlecry.

Kath makes sure to take the cards with him as they leave. It wouldn't be good to leave behind illusionary doubles!

It does indeed look as though Druids do not get to make use of the boon.

Honestly though, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Much like a bard does not get use of an Axe Beak.

Happy New Year everyone

I have a wand of healing that can he if some has the capability.

Kath will of course assist with the search but lacks any noteworthy skills in this matter besides his eyes.

Kath wouldn't mind trying to convince someone to open the door. As a social skill his best is diplomacy at +4.

In other news it looks like we found the cipher that was plaguing Kath's search. :)

In the interest of time here is a roll to convince the housekeeper to let us search the room that is missing. Throw it out if you don't feel it is relevant.

Greetings kind lady. You have a most glorious complexion. It is of the utmost importance that we enter the room. We are on an urgent mission and have no time to waste!

Trying to be charming and making sure not to lie, but also not mentioning the Pathfinder Society.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

We should do the lion first, its part of some overarching plot I imagine, and maybe it can narrow our search.

This is sort of how I feel as well

Sure, I can carry the shield. It's not the best for me if a fight were to break out - clashes with my style you see - but so far it has been quiet. Let's hope that keeps up

The lion knows about this library. I think it might be wise to take him with us as we go.

It seems like this is it. Make some records and let us retrace our steps, grab the illusion cards and get out of here.

So seems like that's it? I believe we found the cipher that Kath was looking for. Anything else that we need to get?

Knowledge (Lion Glasses) First

Cunning (Lion about to pounce) Second
Humility (?) (Lion with Yoke) Third
Loyalty (Lion with Flag) Fourth.

Looks good to me

I doubt anyone has any idea Kath responds with a smile on his face.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

If Kath does see anything odd on the door he will open it.

Kath presses the button!

Kath will gladly go first and open any doors needed.

Preception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

So lets go through one of the other doors then? East one?

To Grimbli -

What if we replaced reddish mane with golden hair. Mane just makes it far too easy you see...

He then quiets as the next door is opened, remembering the warning.

Kath will relate his recent adventures regarding the tracking down of cultists and his actions in the Prisons of the Swift.

Devil we Know series.

And prehaps we should try and use some stealth to avoid the ears of the other guardian.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Kath will approach one of the lion heads.

What he said. We don't want any trouble here, we are just seeking information.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Standard roll for Kath.

Kath smiles at Grimbli, giving a quiet laugh.

Don't worry friend, if I tried to play the instrument it might wound you physically. He jokes.

Kath would love to use one of those to find the cipher he's been looking for.

Not really having seen the movement Kath doesn't mind going to those shelves and looking around a bit.

What? Yeah, sure I suppose.

Kath would like to search for the book.

Preception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Kath's Perception is +7, his only knowledge is knowledge local also at +7.

What code and cipher are you talking about?

SUPER SECRET GRAND LODGE FACTION STUFF YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW!

(kidding)

Does it count if I cracked the code outside of the game (At least I think I did, there appears to be a typo in the cipher?)

Think it would be worth Stealthing? In my opinion probably not with the time constraints. Additionally assuming taking a 10 the entire time, I think Periel would be around a 5. Also I find this might be - relevant :).

Kath will open the double doors at the bottom.

Kath will glady take the front or the rear.

And there goes my future in code cracking. Kath thinks jokingly.

Kath will assist with setting up the cards and will prepare himself to go down, retrieving his buckler from his pack and strapping it on his arm, sword as always ready on his waist.

Kath will check for older Taldorian books on ciphers while others look for the entrance. Although he will assist if his help is directly requested (or an alarm is sounded).

Start with taking a 10 on preception for 17, if you want just a bunch of preception rolls let me know, or you can roll for me if that is easier.

I believe it would be possible to stow a chain shirt and a buckler in a pack? Kath will keep his rapier in a comfortable position. It shouldn't be too threatening, and besides - he would find it fasionable.

Just some people who aren't in the mood to party and are hoping to get some work done without undo distractions. Do you prehaps have any works on old cipher's that you could recommend?

Kath says, being careful to make sure what he is saying is the truth.

Diplomacy?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Kath thinks on what he knows of the city and the location of the library.

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Frustrated that he can't seem to locate it and upset that they didn't see fit to get a simple map of the area Kath will assist someone in sweet-talking the usher.

Aid Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Greetings my good man, my friend and I are looking to find the library. We aren't much for crowds you see.

Anyone want to take the primary Diplomacy roll?

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Agreed. I don't suppose you have any extra of these for later. Kath jokes.

Kath is ready to leave.

Kath thinks on anything else that he might know of the library.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Kath eyes Muesello questionally. Seems like the task could have been delegated to other's who are lesser trained. Are you expecting any other trouble besides a few paper cuts?

I bring my skills with this Rapier. I bring it nearly to an art form. Kath says, stroking the hilt of his weapon. And woe to those who think to strike at me.

After the scenario completion I'd like to use the retraining features of Ultimate Campaign to archetype into the Inspired Blade archetype of Swashbuckler.

2 class features replaced:
Inspired Panache replacing Panache
Inspired Finesse replacing Swashbuckler's Finesse

Cost to retrain - 300 gold, 10 Prestige Points

I have a level 3 Swashbuckler I'd like to submit.

Also you would probably want a cloak of resistance.

Your original list had you at roughly 7.7k gold. Would you consider buying your mithril/cold iron daggers with Prestige points instead? Shave 556g off your bill and possibly pick up a Cloak of Resistance +1.

Total would then be about 7.3k gold and 4 PP.

I'm actually a fan of buying MW weapons with prestige to allow the gold to be spent elsewhere, but that may just be me.

An -

50% unless it was purchased with PP, in which case you get nothing.

But that's if you wanted to change it to another armor completely, for example, you now want full plate. If you wanted to upgrade your current armor (ie. turn your current masterwork armor into +1) you just pay for the upgrade, which would be 1k.

Holman -

I recommend you don't buy an illegal item (Sorry, Quick Runner's Shirt is not a valid purchase). CURSE YOUR SLOW FEET! :)

Also a funny quirk about mithril daggers. Since You are small, and since small daggers original weight is 1/2 pound the price becomes 252. Yes this makes a small mithril dagger cost less then a small masterwork one. shrug

I'd skip the Amulet of Natural Armor for the moment and upgrade one of your daggers, probably the admantine one. You want to make sure you can bypass DR/magic. +1 weapons are considered always available so you don't need to worry about fame limiting the upgrade. Also get a spare cold iron dagger, ideally masterwork, to cover your DR types.

Also I would strongly recommend trading up to an admantine weapon (especially if you are going to be playing some things in season 6).

An, PFS grants 1 XP per scenario and each level is 3 XP, so the only way that could be true is if you just leveled, and since you just completed a mission that's impossible.

Fair enough :)

This needs to be reported, both to the Society and to the city.

Though since this is a senario, I can only hold to the illusion that it matters :)

Hi An! He's a very scary dude. Gotta go now, bye!

How long is Kath frightened for?

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

And he's outta here!

No day job.

Also, I'd like to change characters for the next game if that's ok. We have a very melee heavy front line group, I'd like to bring back my Oracle of Life for a bit more divine support. He should be finishing another pbp shortly and hit level 5.

Kath will daringly move through the skeletons, darting back and forth while drawing his rapier and attack one from the back.

Move with Acrobatics through the skeletons + Derring Do: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (15) + 9 + (5) = 29

Assuming that gets him through Kath will enhance the precision of his strike as well as making a more powerful blow. Skeletons generally ignore piercing weapons, but they will not ignore him!

Attack skeleton - Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 1 = 20
Damage + Precision + Power Attack (Magic/Piercing) : 1d6 + 3 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 6 + 2 = 14

If Kath is attacked in melee by Dalirio he will use Dodging Panache to move 5' to where the skeleton (was hopefully) destroyed

3->1 Panache, back to 2 if Skelly was destroyed

Kath again moves up and will attempt to do his dagger throwing trick.

Move while drawing a dagger

Ready action to throw as a skeleton approaches.: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage+Precision (Counts as silver/piercing/slashing): 1d4 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 3 = 7

The heroes are here! Note, I was only joking

Hi ho, hi, ho. It's down the crypt we go.

Kath tries to be quiet, or at least quieter then dwarf in full plate!

Kath nods.

Hurry though He says quietly but urgently.
