Ket Han's page

Ket walks up behind the idol, looking at it from all angles except straight on. He takes a dagger and carefully taps different parts of the small statue, listening to the sounds it makes when prodded. Finally, he sheathes the dagger, grabs the raised arms of the statue, and pulls them into a downward position, then holds his breath.

Ket takes a step back and out of the way, giving Rogar a clear path to the priestess, and he holds himself ready to attack as soon as the priestess drops her guard.

Readied action to attack with shortbow if the priestess provokes an AoO.

Soon as I have a turn to clear, she's all yours.

Staggering back after the wave of negative energy, Ket sheathes his rapier and fires his shortbow at the evil priestess.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Grabbing his shortbow in his off-hand, Ket will step forward and stab at the priestess, taking advantage of the distraction provided by Thovar.

Rapier: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Edit: Phooey.

-shrug- Eh. Okay, I'll just move to where I'll be able to hit next turn, and that attack roll can be an AoO if necessary, less the +2. AC is 17 instead.

Derp. Right, altar. If I moved one square down, that looks like I'm not standing on the altar anymore. Does that work? Should still be possible as far as number of squares moved.

Ket charges the priestess as she casts her spell, stabbing at her and hoping that she'll fall quickly.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 to avoid AoO from the thing
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 crossing the lava
Rapier: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 2 = 17
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Assuming she hasn't acted within Initiative, so still flat-footed.

AC is 15 until next round due to charge

Ket will move his hand close to the blue flame to see how much heat it's putting off, but otherwise he won't be burning himself in it.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

When they reach the spiral staircase, Ket will mock-groan. "Can't they do anything besides stairs in this place? Hopefully it doesn't get too much hotter up there. Be right back."

A scouting we will go ...
Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Would the brazier of blue flame be harmful to Ket?

Ket grins at Alafair as he gestures up the ramp. "By all means, be my guest."

"Look at the mosaics. In this one, the person bows before the flames and is let past. Something similar is shown in the mosaic by the statue; pilgrims bow before a statue. Hard to tell if there are devotional words in play as well, but perhaps the bowing is enough."

Didn't think you were grumpy. Just wanted to check in case it was possible for me to sneak up the back way. Whenever possible, never confront the enemy by going through the front door. And lava. -shudders-

Ket will walk up to the landing and examine the mosaics on either side of the statue, then compare them with the lower mosaics. "Perhaps if we want to ascend, we need to pay proper respects?"

Just checking.

Ket is going to check the path up to the landing for anything that might warn those above or things that will cause problems for the party.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 +1 against any traps.

Is it possible to climb up the inside of the vents at all, either from valves at ground level or from the vent next to the mural?

Ket looks at the Dwarf, then at the room around them. "It might depend on what your duty was defined as. Were you told that we would be coming? Were we mentioned by name as people needing to be stopped?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Ket moves over to examine the creature, keeping another of the mysterious preserved arrows ready to fire in case it awakens. "Think it's got any useful bits, or should we move on?"

Ket steps back, grabbing another of the odd arrows and loosing the shaft at the demon-thing.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Edit: Move Action = retrieve one of the preserved arrows.

As the demonic thing comes flying at him, Ket will take a step backward and fire his now-blessed arrow at it.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 +1 and good-aligned for purposes of DR.
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Edit: Gah! So close to crit.

Ket grabs his bow and vial with the oil in it and puts it on one of his arrows.

Move = retrieve, standard = apply. Also, Rogue-damage-sponge. Keeps on happening to me. :)

"Argh!"

Coming down the stairs, Ket will report to the others. "No way on that way. Looks like it's the 'secret' door for us. Shall we?"

Blink his now lash-less eyes at the heat, Ket will sigh. "Something tells me they don't want us around here. Come on, back down the stairs with you." Staying near the top of the stairs, Ket will examine the room and the trap as far as he can see.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 +1 examining the trap

So wait, is it a room, or a forced perspective optical illusion?

Ket will take a quick look at the secret door to see if it's dangerous to pass through it, then return to the group and report his findings.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 to spot traps on the door
Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 to avoid being detected by any on the other side of the door

"Something like being hit in the face with a massive brick made of rainbows, only not so comforting." Ket turns, and sees the prisoner. "This the one who put us under?"

"Ugh. What hit us? Last I remember is some skeleton bastard."

Ket refrains from taking 6 fire damage and substitutes a 1 in its place. :)

I don't suppose we've recovered from the unconscious/blind/stunned phase and gotten to the blind/stunned phase? :P

Ket's soul will be catching up on his knitting while he's spending time incapacitated. :)

I hate that spell. So powerful at early levels. So good.

Ket moves into the room, sliding along the wall past Thovar so he can shoot straight onto the skeleton without risking a hit on Rogar.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 3 - 4 = 14 -4 is if into melee penalty applies.
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

I hate watched doors. They take the fun out of trying to be sneaky opening them.

"Well, they picked the stairs," gesturing, "I picked the skeleton. Somebody else's turn." Ket sheathes his rapier and draws his shortbow.

Damn. Thought I was being sneaky. Oops.

Ket will duck to one side, pulling the door shut behind himself as he goes, then draw his rapier. "Trouble," he calls out.

Re-Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

"Before we go up there, shouldn't we check down here and make sure they can't get behind us?"

Ket melts into the shadows around the edge of the room and does what he can to check the other two doors. If they're currently closed, he'll listen, then signal to the others to be quiet as he opens them very carefully.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Perception(left door): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Perception(right door): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

+1 to those Perception scores if there are traps on/near the doors.

If nobody else wants them, Ket will snag them. ;)

Ket tries to open the doors.

Strength: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Well, that's not happening. Guess we go home now. They're locked up tight in there." He begins to wander around the sides, looking for windows or other ways in.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Ket quirks a smile. "Almost certain? Well, I'll hold you to that." He takes the vial and tucks it into a pouch. "What do you folks make of the inscriptions up there? Some look like they were scratched out recently."

"Clearly, you all have worked together before. I'll try harder to keep up next time." Ket will examine the archway while others examine the bodies.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Craft(masonry): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

I'll do my best. My usual posting time in any given day is late night Pacific. I can occasionally get more often, but that's my usual time.

Just checking in. This is Lia from Slave Pits of Absalom. Unfortunately, she got accepted in another scenario and I didn't realize that I couldn't run her through two at the same time, so Ket is my replacement character.

Ket surveys the desert with a gleam in his eye. "I feel as if I had just got to the big city, and already I'm back in the desert. It's a funny place sometimes." The heat doesn't seem to bother the dark-skinned man much, although the tail poking out from under his desert robes makes the word "man" a bit of a stretch. Turning to the others, he introduces himself. "By the way, I'm Ket Han. Just joined up with the Society. Excited to get started. I've heard a great deal about these adventures we all go on."

Lia landed in another scenario, so Ket will be replacing her in the party. Same player, just can't run her through two games at the same time.
