I have much enjoyed the game. Best wishes Bob.

"Put is down and let him kill it Squirm. It will save us doing it." Kazushi suggests, delaying her action.
Kazushi points at the puppeteer Squirm is holding and says:- "I strongly suspect that vile little creature was controlling you. That is why you have a gap in your memory. We just set you free, which means you should thank us, not hit us with an axe."
Kazushi uses the wand of infernal healing on the unconscious Duergar.
It sounds like a sensible response to a lack of free time GM Bob.
It is quite OK to call Kazushi girl. The first couple of Japanese names I tried were taken. So I tried Kazushi, which was not, after the remarkable, now retired Japanese, martial artist Kazushi Sakaraba. Whether it can be a female name too I don't know. It sounds asian. And the initiative is +3 dex, +2 reactionary trait and +4 improved initiative feat.
Kazushi moves to an appropriate spot, where the Duergar is in the cone of effect and nobody else is, then casts Colour Spray.
We don't have a tactical map for this one. Just wanted to check I can colour spray without hitting my friends. And my initiative tied with the duergar. Do players go first in such ties? Or if using the Raw, Kazushi's initiative mod is +9. It is Squirm first though I believe.
"I have it." Kazushi moves to an appropriate spot, where the Duergar is in the cone of effect and nobody else is, then casts Colour Spray.
Kazushi gets off the wagon and approaches the Duergar without getting too close, observing him as closely as possible and also seeing if she can spot anything in the woods where the dwarf is looking. She asks:- "Sir, you are obviously greatly distressed. Who is the "they" you need to save?"
Noted. And definitely worth bearing in mind.
Spying the Duergar, Kazushi offers a cheerful greeting:- Good day sir. How do you fare?
Illiam is not so bad, or he does not mean to be. But if he thinks he is right he will argue about it forever. And he just says you are wrong, no diplomacy. It is possible he is on the autistic spectrum. High functioning autistics can be very intelligent and technically minded, but don't get social rules. He got up my nose at one time as well.
Kazushi awakes from a somewhat restless sleep to relieve Squirm, saying:- " All seems quiet. My watch, you may sleep now my insectoid friend."
Ok I messed up. The watch order seems sensible enough. But Christaph only needs 4 hours sleep. And the psychics need 8 hours uninterrupted sleep. how about- 1st Squirm- 2 hours
Kazushi assists creating a fire and gets out food for cooking. Over dinner, she suggests:- "You psionics need a bit longer if your rest is interrupted. I can watch second, with say Aidan first, Neils third and Squirm last, watches of about two hours fifteen minutes each. Sound reasonable?'
But there are 4 of us. Kazushi as a spontaneous spellcaster needs 8 hours, but it does not need to be uninterrupted. 4 watches of 2 hours 15 min should do it.
Kazushi pokes her tongue out at the wolverine as Squirm is getting dirt off himself. "There was another path a way back. I suggest we go back and take that route. It will take longer, but we won't risk our wagon or injury falling in this hole."
As does Kazushi, though strength is not really her thing.
Kazushi, who had been looking intently into the pit as if staring into the void, quickly grabs the rope behind Neils. I am glad it is Squirm she thinks, in light of her small size and limited strength, while saying "Got it."
"I guess we could try investigating it, if someone wants to go down there. You already have a rope tied around you so we can lower you and pull you back up, want to go down Christaph. It looks like a deliberately laid trap to me."
I guess it can't hurt. And should not take too long. My guess is we won't find out much, but there is not much downside.
We will go around the hole. I mean way around, taking extra care not to get near it, and having Christaph prod in front of the wagon as well. Then continue, with more prodding in front of the wagon.
[b]"Sounds like a good idea. Try poking the ground before you."[b]says Kazushi in reply, before tying a rope around Christaph so hopefully it will arrest his fall if he encounters another pit trap. When finished, the arrangement resembles one of those things used to prevent toddlers running off.
"I think you are right on both points Neils. Maybe we should have one or two of us walk in advance of the wagon to see if they can detect signs of disturbance to the ground that may indicate another of these. Is there anyone with applicable skills. Not me I am afraid. And that is not just because I would prefer to ride on the wagon. Honest."Kazushi pokes her tongue out as she finishes speaking.
I think we should get back to the journey as my in game post says.
Kazushi lets the pig out of it's pen and then returns to join Squirm on the wagon, saying to the others "I think we have finished here guys. Time to move on. "
Skills? What are they?
That means we can't follow any tracks. :( I guess we should just have another look around the farmhouse and if we don't find anything continue. Maybe free the pig, otherwise it will starve to death.
No, you are not. :(
"Hey guys, see if you can help us find where the orcs came from. Expert woodsman, uh woodswoman, I am not I am afraid."
As they approach, the see a typical one-story farmhouse. There is still a live pig in a wooden pen squealing loudly. As the raid on the farm ended in murder, as serious crime, it should be fairly easy to convince the pig to inform us what happened. Pigs are, after all, notorious squealers.
Kazushi is going to sweep the area with detect magic, on the off chance it may reveal something, then see if she can find tracks from where the orcs approached the farmhouse, reasoning we may be able to follow those back to where the orcs came from.
Well, the orcs were not exactly pleasant creatures.
"I think you are right, Neils."Kazushi says as she starts to move towards the farmhouse.
"I suggest we leave the orc tied up here and go investigate the farmhouse. The downside is we will have to leave the horse and wagon untended."
Kazushi, not wanting to see Squirm terrify somebody, even a murderous orc, helps Christaph load the wagon.
"If you think it needed, squirm. I suspect they were doing what they appeared to be doing, murdering and looting." Kazushi replies to Squirm as she starts to gather the orcs gear. She then adds "How about we take one of the boar carcasses with us and eat it for supper? It will make a good change from trail rations."
Kazushi applies a second infernal healing to Squirm and one to Christaph.
She then moves to see what state the Ophiduan who was being brutalised by the orcs is in. If he is hurt I will use infernal healing on him as well.
Kazushi moves over to Squirm. Relieved to discover he is alive, she uses her wand of infernal healing on her fallen comrade, saying:- Don't worry Squirm, you will be well soon.
Doh. Didn't even cross my mind.
Kazushi you are not arguing, at least not yet. Always feel free to ask questions especially combat related. I will have a look over rounds again to see if it was still stunned. However, you posted combat actions twice when it wasn't your turn, now that it is your turn, please post your questions and your actions. PbP takes too long with a back and forth. I posted my action. I did look at the actions to establish if the green orc was stunned, first before going there and then again before questioning the attack. So yes, I believe it was stunned so couldn't hit me. I said I was sorry about making a mess of one of my posts. :)
Kazushi takes a five foot step backwards and attacks the green orc with might of the mind.
Kazushi moves the five feet toward the "green" orc and delivers a coup de grace.
Kazushi, grinding her teeth in frustration at not being able to use her wand to heal Squirm immediately, takes a five foot step backwards and casts colour spray once more. The colour spray starts in the square she has just left and hits the three orcs and the prone Squirm.
Kazushi moves forward one square and casts a second colour spray over the three orcs and Squirm. |
