Kernithar Flott's page

Last post for a bit, see discussion thread.
As for Kern, with the longbow, and no penalty for second range increment...

Kern eyes up the leader as he distances himself to get a shot.

Hunt Prey + recall knowledge for free, Stride to a distance I can get a clear shot on the leader? Strike if possible. If not, Kern will sprint up the path, shooting at the trolls along the way.

Folks. I am SO SORRY for not posting sooner. Life has gotten a bit hectic for me and the fam. We're all healthy, just having to double down at work (to include building a side-hustle now...**sigh**) with the current economy and have had little time for Pathfinder. :(
I think I will have to bow out of this game (and others) for the time being, but will keep this thread bookmarked for the future.

Kern quickly investigates the large troll for anything of value.

"Thank you" He says to Alister.

Kernithar continues to pincushion the trolls.

Strike x4 vs Purple, if Purple goes down, he will shift to Orange, Hunt Prey first then continue striking.

Kern leaps and bounds over the downed corpse of the troll leader to exit the melee.

He turns fires two arrows at the purple troll.

Damage (P/Sonic/Force): 1d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + (5) + (3) + 3 = 15

Stride x2, Strike x2

Yup. Hunt Prey ◆ then Strike x3 ◆◆◆

Seeing the large troll fall, Kern turns his hawkish gaze to the purple troll. After identifying it's weak points, he fires three arrows at it.

Hunt Prey, Strike x3
Recall Knowledge please, if critical, +1 circumstance bonus to attacks against Purple for 1 round.

Phew! Works for me. :)

I'm not sure where Kern's dodge comes from?

"Mikhail, cut down the big one, we're surrounded!" Kern shouts as he continues shooting arrows into the massive troll.

Warden's Boon to Mikhail. Reduced MAP against GiantRedTroll -3/-6.

Hey folks. Super busy this weekend and into the next week. Please bot me for now.

Kern has his Prey on the big one. He can use an action to give his Flurry bonus (reduced MAP to Mikhail). One action to change targets. Otherwise, Hunt Prey and focus fire. If it ever comes to it, he's faster than most things.

Skybolt thrums with a rhythm as Kernithar looses three arrows in quick succession at the largest troll.

Gross spell! Cool!

Will: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
ugh. Gross!

Per Blind-Fight, it's a DC5 flat check to target a hidden creature. Rolling below for the previous attacks.

BlindFight(1): 1d20 ⇒ 14
BlindFight(2): 1d20 ⇒ 5

"They're just trolls! Hit them with fire and acid! The big one is different somehow." Kern relays to his companions.

"I'll focus on turning the big brute into a pin-cushion. Shout if you need assistance otherwise." Kern says before setting his sights on the largest of the trolls.

Judging the speed of the trolls and reading the speed of the leaves on the breeze. Kern tilts his bow up and looses two arrows in rapid succession.

◆ Hunt Prey w/ Recall Knowledge. +1 to everyone's attacks on crit.
◆ Strike
◆ Strike
Kern now has Blind Fight. I am assuming I can use that to target the troll leader concealed behind the trees? If not, I'll adjust to the closest targetable troll.

Skybolt vs Prey (1) 2xFort Save on Crit (24/27): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36
Damage (P/Sonic/Force): 1d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + (1) + (3) + 3 = 8

Damage (P/Sonic/Force): 1d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + (1) + (4) + 3 = 12

"We should take the fight to the trolls, they'll be the most devastating to buildings." Kern say. "However, I defer to m'lord in the matter if he has strong opinions."

No further questions, your Honor.

"Good call. Start to make and gather arrows from anyone with them available. The men on guard should be armed with bows, overwatching the digging."

"How long ago did they depart? When do you expect them back?" Kern asks. "If it's been too long we should definitely scout ourselves. They may be close already."

"We'd best lead the scouting party toward the main force. It would much safer with m'Lords magicks available." Kern suggest, indicating to the sorcerous brothers. "I believe these trolls may be giantkin from their description."

Good vibes and thoughtful prayers to his recovery.

Kern thinks on the symbol and trolls.
Religion(T): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17 It's clearly the symbol of Nethys
Troll (Nature?): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Kern listens intently and will add questions of his own.

"You sau you've traveled with them, what sort of weaponry and armor do they possess?"

"Do you know their numbers?"

"Do you know what the deal with the boggards is?"

:(

Kern raises an eyebrow to the others at the mention of a prophet, as if to say Did you know about a prophet here?

Concur. And Kern will take 2 Mod Healing potions as well.

Level 1 druids get WildShape in 2e. :)
It's a Focus spell and while not useful for combat necessarily, it last 10min and seems well suited for reconnaissance.

Kern nods in agreement.
"I'll see to sending some scouts to the west."

Yo fellas!

Remind me during the next downtime to found a Druidic circle for my Order and teach them polymorphing so we can send them out as spies.

:)

(this is also a reminder for myself...)

"An army? Marching where?" Kern says aloud as he shuffles through some scouting reports to find any indication.

"It may be worth investigating either way, Alister." Kern suggests as he continues to search his reports.

Kingmaker 2e!!! Woohoo! Can't wait!

Also, sounds good.

Bdmpt-Tsssss!

Kern contemplates how much satisfaction he might feel from destroying the unnatural creatures...

"Those clockwork beasts are so... plain. There's no nuance to them. They just do one thing over and over again, it's so unnatural. Just wait until some wizard creates a sentient clockwork smarter than himself. Then the world is doomed." Kern comments during their travel.

It seems like our kingdom is quite lucky with event rolls?

Honestly, I never fully grasped the Kingdom Building rules so don't have much to contribute. I mainly tried to think of what Kern would be interested in and proposed the Parks.

Kern would suggest more Parks. As many Parks as can be considered.

I don't see Varnhold listed with the other cities. I imagine it comes with buildings pre-established?

Concur with the road building spree. If there's anything the Romans taught us, the roads matter.

Laying upon yet another unfamiliar spot of earth, Kernithar Flott's thoughts drifted to a particular pear tree in Stagfell that had graciously shaped its bough to be accommodating to Kern's posture when sleeping.

Home
He thinks.
Nest

More excitedly, his mind raced outside of Stagfell, to the Narlmarch Woods. A seemingly out of place jaguar takes a deer while pouncing from a tree. There's a pause in the scene while the sound of a carnivore feasting goes on for a bit. Kern's head pops into view as he stands. He wipes some gore away from his mouth as the feline fangs finally recede. No smile crosses his face as you see his ears perk up and he's away in a blink.

Territory

You see Kern's lithe fingers flipping something shiny around in his hands. He finally pauses the movement, and you see what it is. It's a dragon scale. Silver.
Castien, where have you been. It's been too many decades...
Kern ponders his brother and other kin. Wondering if they would enjoy the area as well.

Kern is warming to the idea of continually returning to the same "home". Even if it's unnatural civilized place, it's close enough to the Narlmarches and safer than staying there, even with the fey menace gone.
He makes no point to particularly visit any one person, but makes his rounds and duties. Enjoying a good hunting party at every city or village.

Kern nods in agreement.

"Perhaps we can have more time to study these items we found and account for the treasure." Kern says, looking forward to getting back to the wilderness.

"Being somewhere divine would be a good decision when we release these people. The clerics can help calm and soothe them." Kern concurs.

Piotr could learn Teleport now, yes? What's his chance of success? That would allow us to return here easier to retrieve the tablets once the citizenry is taken care of.

"I could weave us some wheels." Kern suggests.

I don't have anything mechnically, but with a Master in Crafting and being a Kyonin Elf Range/Druid, I'd imagine I could bend and mold the wood using some druid magics to "craft" something.

I'm not sure we have a better option, but would defer to the mages of the group for other options, if they exist.

Kern thinks about the river they're on and the layout of the geography.

"How big is that boat again?" He asks Alister.

We could load the boat up with our loot.

Kern follows suit and loads his bag of holding.

"Let's not forget to load the treasure in here as well. I'm sure we can spare some of it to get Varnhold back on it's feet." Kern suggests to the group.

Got no other plans here. Worried about traveling with an evil artifact. Can't we cast it into the lava?

Kern pauses the draw of his bow and considers for a moment.

"Ketephys has come to me. We should carry these jars in our bags of hodling. It will be much easier than herding them across the mountains." Kern says to Alister.

He turns to Piotr "Unless you have some magics for mass teleporation?"

BTW, just was texting with Tarondor. He is fine but exhausted with enough energy to work but not much else. Just wanted to relay the message.

"Don't you think the phylactery would decorate the royal fire place mantel nicely?" Kern says with a mischievous dark smile.

Once in the the soul jar room, Kern will help smash each one with his blade.

"If nothing divine might suffice, I can send word back to my Circle in Kyonin for assistance. Many Orders have means and methods for handling ancient evil, but I'm unaware of anything specifically." says Kern.

Clearly we need a volcano in Mordor....

"I never understood undeath. All natural things must die to feed the cycle. To do otherwise is terrible indeed." Kern agrees. "How do you propose we destroy this evil artifact?"
