Kaye Ginzel's page

...should finally consider porting this character to 2e...

Thanks for the chronicle, GM!

1d20 ⇒ 15

Oh well, that was a fun run.

"Ah, pride. The downfall of many." Kaye shakes his head. "Normally I'd apologize about killing your brother and father, but you seem alright with it."

The dull feeling on the back Kaye's mind weighs down. "I wish I had an hour or so to wear things off, but it's best we make this deal and then leave. You can say we were expelled by your great dragon."

"Uh, oh. Yes, we surrender under your might, oh great dragon?" Kaye is all too ready to falls to his knees and grovel.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 1 = 14
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 - 1 = 11

"Wh-wh-what?" Kaye stammers. "The dragon is real...no way can we compete!"

How can this be? I've run through multiple calculations...this was most improbable!

"I don't know about you, fellow Pathfinders, but we won't last long against this dragon. Perhaps we can listen to reason for once."

Kaye moves onto the stage and points his finger accusingly. "You are in no position to bargain! Your dragon has left you, and my friends are ready to beat you to a pulp. It's best you surrender now so you may live to rule another day! Otherwise we may have a succession crisis at hand!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Unlikely to have changed the chief's opinion, Kaye gets his short spear ready...

Huh, I did read the bomb damage wrong, there is no save on a direct hit. Thanks for telling me.

Did my bomb hit last round? Did the chief get caught in the fiery splash damage?

Kaye has 18 Dex due to the mutagen, so he can't fail to climb even on a 1.

Kaye double moves backstage. "Ah yes, your 'mighty' dragon seems to be nothing more than a parlor trick. We really did want a peaceful solution to this." As he watches Gleam and Osten prepare to negotiate he corrects himself. "Okay, I wanted a peaceful solution to this."

Kaye lumbers up to the stage. No allies in range, just two large enemies. Perfect spacing for a bomb. He hurls it at the dragon, hoping to catch it and the chief in the blast.

"Where is Lirovelix? This creature is too small."

Ranged Touch, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10
Fire Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (3) + 3 + 1 = 10
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 7
Kaye's Reflex Save if he missed and blew himself up: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
If that hit, Reflex Save DC 14 for half damage. If it missed, the bomb deals 5 damage.

"Gleam, I think we'll need your help negotiating!" Kaye watches the chief grow hostile.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 1 = 25

Glad to not get caught in the lightning blast, Kaye carefully looks at the chief's hands. "The dragon didn't do that, the chief is incanting thunder magic. Let's take him down first."

Kaye double runs up the stage, drawing a shortspear along the way. "When you can't strike first, make sure you're a Fast Follower!"

Note to self: Fire Bombs.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 1 = 20

"Ten thousand gold pieces, each. That is quite a steep price, Chief Kibizax. We should ask Lirovelix about it. Where is the great ancient wyrm I have heard so much about? The one who is so large it can't fit in sewers?" Kaye eyes the dragon. "This dragon is no older than perhaps a young adult."

Kaye turns to the kobolds seated above. "Something doesn't add up here. We came to make a deal with all of you, yet your chief takes this as a joke. I don't think he's really interested in the gold at all. Now is not the time to think with your muscle, now is the time to think with your brains!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Let's hope my rerolled Diplomacy check kicks in. And if not, I'll definitely switch to fire bombs for this fight!

"Impressive. These formulae will be very useful later on." Kaye adds Tok's spellbook to his own. "Someone should hold onto the cloak at least. I already have one of those."

As Kaye enters the room, he can't help but look around. "Haha, no wonder you all love theatrics." Kaye eyes the dragon for a moment and tries to identify it.

Knowledge(Arcana): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Back to the chief, Kaye keeps himself unarmed. "Greetings, Chief Kibazax and great Lirovelix! We are honored by your willingness to speak to us- other Kobolds have not been so wise."

"We pink-skinned topsiders use the sewer routes through your kingdom to transport vital supplies needed for our world to survive. Your subjects have placed more traps and ambushes recently, crippling us. It is only after a heavy debate that we risked entering your domain to speak to you directly. We wish to find a peaceful resolution that will allow us safe passage through your territory. What say you? What kind of tribute do you request?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 GM Reroll!
Diplomacy, GM Reroll +1: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 24
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 1 = 16

The effects of the mutagen take a toll on Kaye's senses. Sometimes black spots appear in his vision. Sometimes he hears things he knows aren't real. And sometimes he's too distracted to pay attention to whom he's speaking to. He just needs to hold steady for now...

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Uh, I think I'm good enough..." Kaye's intuition still feels dulled down. "This time I'm actually ready for a duel. Let's hope it doesn't come to that?"

It's been hit and miss lately. At least we got an extension for Game Day 6.

Kaye calmly walks down the stairs. "To be fair, I really did prefer to talk."

CRUNCH

"For violence never ends well." He uses the wand on Orin.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Many thanks, everyone. We've got him on the run now."
Kaye pulls out his own wand and uses it.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"Now now, it can't be a proper duel if you're already crawling on the walls and I'm fumbling for my mutagen."

No worries, GM. Your family definitely comes first.

Also the boards have been really inconsistent for the last few days.

My Precious formula book. Gimme those buffs! I'm guessing Cat's Grace and False Life are in there somewhere.

Kaye stands up and prepares another alchemical bomb. "While it does hurt me to change the rules like this, the Pathfinder Society overrides my personal needs."

Ranged Touch, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23
Electric Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + (5) + 3 + 1 = 13
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Kaye's Reflex Save if he missed and blew himself up: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
If that hit, Reflex Save DC 14 for half damage. If it missed, the bomb deals 5 damage. Thanks to his Precise Bombs discovery, Kaye can exclude 3 squares (like his own square) from the blast. The extra d6 damage is not multiplied on a crit.
Shock Bombs: If the target fails the save, they are dazzled for 1d4 rounds.
Dazzled Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Kaye's electric bomb hits Tok square in the face. "Besides, you attacked us despite our request to parley. Perhaps YOU should stand down so we may discuss this further."

Kaye, now conscious yet in massive pain, remains prone and grabs his Wand of Cure Light Wounds. "No point in me standing up yet- that makes me a juicier target!"

I'll remain prone so I get the AC bonus against ranged attacks.

We're fighting a very high AC enemy with lots of splash damage. I think I'm your best bet to counter him, but I'm gonna need more hit points!

Kaye dreams of his successful business empire smashing through the competition!

Congrats Rogzul! Enjoy!

Orin, I hope for a speedy recovery.

Orin, I'm on the top of the right hand stairs on the second floor. This room is so high the map was split into two parts, check the right side.

Stabilization: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Kaye tries to think of something witty to say, but the pain overwhelms him. "Don't read my Secrets to sales! Internal Use Only..."

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Kaye snorts and runs up the stairs before throwing another bomb at Tok.

Ranged Touch, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 26
Electric Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + (1) + 3 + 1 = 11
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 2
Kaye's Reflex Save if he missed and blew himself up: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
If that hit, Reflex Save DC 14 for half damage. If it missed, the bomb deals 5 damage. Thanks to his Precise Bombs discovery, Kaye can exclude 3 squares (like his own square) from the blast. The extra d6 damage is not multiplied on a crit.
Shock Bombs: If the target fails the save, they are dazzled for 1d4 rounds.
Dazzled Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Kaye doesn't have a weapon drawn, so no AoO from him.
"I've caught his attention." Kaye puts out the burst of flames around him.

Craft(Alchemy): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

"Hmm, did that work, now? I'll have to be more careful."

Noticing the kobold doesn't have a weapon, Kaye grabs his mutagen, drinks it down, and then draws a shortspear. "Whoa, I never get used to that."

Drinking Mutagen and Drawing a weapon. The mutagen increases my Dex, lowers my Wis and gives some natural armor. I've adjusted my stat bar.

Kaye yawns. "Very well then, fellow chemist. A duel! Your formula book is the wager."

Kaye hurls a vial at Tok. It explodes with dazzling electricity.

Ranged Touch, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 = 21
Electric Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (4) + 3 + 1 = 10
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Kaye's Reflex Save if he missed and blew himself up: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
If that hit, Reflex Save DC 14 for half damage. If it missed, the bomb deals 5 damage. Thanks to his Precise Bombs discovery, Kaye can exclude 3 squares (like his own square) from the blast. The extra d6 damage is not multiplied on a crit.
Shock Bombs: If the target fails the save, they are dazzled for 1d4 rounds.
Dazzle Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Fort Save, Poison Resistance: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 27

"How repugnant." Kaye gasps for a moment. "Reminds me of my mutagen."

"I see you only respond to force. Your life as chief will be short-lived, I assure you."

"Apologies, we're new here. We're not used to your customs. Nice alchemical collection, though."

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

"...who are we talking to, anyway?"

Kaye resists rolling his eyes. "Help us, o great and mighty Lirovelix. Let us pass!"

Bluff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Kaye downs his vial of Comprehend Languages.

"Ah, the sun will do wonders for your skin and complexion... but your point is made. I'll have to start on an underground variant..."

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

"Someone should get that satchel." Kaye tilts his head towards a corner, where he uses the longspear to fish it out of the trash and other too-foul-too-mention items. "These two look like potions of Cure Moderate Wounds. Does anyone wand them? Not me, I'm healthy."

Kaye's wanderlust takes the better of him and he pokes around in the pile some more. "Oh, I think we found the Pathfinder. What's left of him, anyway..." He reveals the half-eaten remains of one Gil Flemish. "Let me get that Wayfinder... yes, this was the young man, Gil Flemish. Went missing a few weeks back. I guess he was fed to Gurva."

"He was wearing some kind of ring with a wing motif? Probably magical, but I'm no wizard. Anyone good at Spellcraft?"
Feel free to read the perception spoiler. You'll need to make a Spellcraft check to ID the ring, though.

"Now then, let's go talk to the chief's son. Maybe he will say hello first, then shoot never."

Kaye finishes climbing down into the room. "Sounds like I missed all the action. Slow and Steady wins the race."

Once the kobold awakens, Kaye takes a look at it. "Greetings. Take us to your leader. It's the least you could do for managing to live another day, eh?"

Diplomacy(Aid): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

"You can learn all about self-preservation in my book, How to live until Sunrise. interested?"

Climb: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6

"Gurva, we meet?" Kaye starts his climb down. "Does anyone know if it's weak to fire or electricity? Either one will do."

Kaye makes his way to the rope and begins to climb down, just as he hears the sounds of conflict. "Just in time..."

Kaye moves a little closer and pockets the wand. "I guess Osten is going to work with a little wear and tear."

My wife and I will be on vacation from Saturday to Tuesday. I have no idea if we'll have an internet connection.

I've left botting instructions in my character profile.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Kaye gets a little closer and heals his crossbow bolt wounds.

"Ah, that feels better! Now then, who else needs help? Osten, you look like a pincusion."

Kaye moves up a little further and draws his wand of cure light wounds. "I'll be right there, I just need to handle this bolt in my sides..."

I moved ya, Rogzul.

"It's quite slippery, here. Sometimes caution is better than speed.

"Finally, that rock is out of the way." Kaye puts his shortspear away and advances. "I'll be there in a moment... I just don't want to fall into that sewage. And I need to deal with this crossbow bolt."

"My my, this boulder is wasting my time." Kaye delays and bides his time.

Kaye backs up and rounds around the corner. "No need for more bloodshed, we're just passing through!" Kaye draws his shortspear and readies himself to hit the first hostile kobold within 20 feet.

Shortspear, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Don't forget the Acrobatics check DC 10, Rogzul. If you make more than a single move you may fall prone in the stinky sewer water.

Kaye peers into the hallway. "Great. Time to seek cover."

Still, Kaye has bombs, so he hurls a standard fire bomb at the rock before retreating.

Ranged Touch, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23
Fire Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + (5) + 3 + 1 = 13
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 7
Kaye's Reflex Save if he missed and blew himself up: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Thanks to the Keen Senses extract, Kaye has low light vision, so the dimly lit part of his torch should be able to illuminate the enemy 60 feet away. Assuming it's still active (3 minutes long). I guess it doesn't matter as Kaye would move forward anyway.

"Excuse me, maybe you don't want to-" Kaye takes a bolt to the chest. "I see. Perfect time to test my new explosives."

Kaye moves up right behind Osten and mixes several chemicals together. He tosses it right at the kobold with the red cloak. It bursts in a brilliant lightning storm.

Ranged Touch, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25
Concealment from dim light, <20 is a miss: 1d100 ⇒ 67
Electric Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (3) + 3 + 1 = 10
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 3
Kaye's Reflex Save if he missed and blew himself up: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
If that hit, Reflex Save DC 14 for half damage. If it missed, the bomb deals 5 damage. Thanks to his Precise Bombs discovery, Kaye can exclude 3 squares (like his own square) from the blast. The extra d6 damage is not multiplied on a crit.
Shock Bombs: If the target fails the save, they are dazzled for 1d4 rounds.
Dazzled: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

Kaye lights a torch and drinks an extract of Keen Senses. His eyes take a moment to adjust themselves. "What a kick." He coughs. "I'll never get used to that taste."
For the next 3 minutes, Kaye has +2 to Perception and low-light vision.

He keeps an eye out for traps.
Perception, Keen Sight: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15

"That is all, for now. Thank you."

Kaye purchases a vial of antiplague and antitoxin and prepares for a "wonderful" trip the sewers. Costing 100 gp

"Disarming traps? I have some skill with it, yes."
Kaye has a +6 bonus to Disable Device.
