Taking 20 on Perception as well.
Hey everyone, sorry I've been silent lately, times have been weird but I'm still around! Unfortunately I was just offered a last minute job out in the middle of nowhere for the next 4-5 days, so I expect to be gone until Thursday this week...
"I'll stay behind as well, a knife in the shadows can be very useful from time to time."
Kirk shrugs and fills his waterskin, then looks around for any other containers they might use to transport the water.
"Call it camouflage, or a solemn reminder of threats that the healing water was meant to thwart." Kirk adds, as if on an afterthought, "I'm afraid I understand very little on the mental workings of faithful men."
"What evil -- magic or supernatural -- has tainted the fountain and it's waters?" Kirk volunteers.
"And what purpose was that? Was this a watering fountain -- shall we drink and see what happens?" Kirk sneers almost facetiously. To try and answer his own question, though, he removes a glove and sticks two worn fingers into the messy waters.
"I'm sure it was the right move, that hesitation was futile." Kirk cleans and sheathes his weapons, then more or less forgets about the fountain. He begins to pick through the demon's remains for valuables before moving on and scouring the entire area.
Going out of town on another work camping trip this Monday through Friday, could somebody please sub in to keep Kirk from dragging the game down? :P

Attack Dagger (+2 flanking, +2 foretell, +1 inspire courage)

Acrobatics Kirk takes a flying leap over the stretch of lava to his right, then turns to slash the demon with his dagger. Attack
Kirk dances alongside the demon and the awakening zombies, moving himself into a flank with Solaric and Flofer. Attack Dagger
Round 1 Kirk charges in alongside Solaric and slashes at the demon with his dagger, preparing to jump to the other side and flank the next moment. Attack Charge
"Ugly, horned, and doomed to die. That's a good enough name for me." Kirk lowers his shield and circles around the room, positioning himself to move into an easy flank.
Cursing under his breath just a little bit, Kirk steps up to the one of the zombies and slips his dagger delicately through one zombie's fleshy neck, piercing it's throat, and then he skillfully rips the blade free. Coup de Grac, Critical
"Creepy little underlings..." Kirk mutters to himself quietly, continuing to circle around the writhing pit of undead and waiting to see what becomes of the cauldron.
Reflex Kirk dives to the side as the red hot goo floods toward them, turning to reach out for Solaric's arm, but too late.
"With one of those potions, Cairn, I might be able to end this fight with one swift, deadly blow..." Kirk says quietly, "Though not exactly in the most honorable way."
Stealth
Perception
"Check for what?" Kirk says, yanking on the lever.
Kirk examines the gate, looking for a mechanism that could be tampered with or broken. Perception
Kirk nods and pushes ahead, but painfully stubs his toe against a raised stone and finds himself distracted as he proceeds... Stealth
Kirk steps back at Cairn's warning. Just in case.
When the smoke clears and Kirk can take a breath again, he says to the group, "There wasn't any sort of mechanical trap that set poison that off; I think it was divine magic."
Fortitude Kirk takes a deep breath and squints through the poison cloud, calmly waiting for the air to clear once again. "I guess that wasn't it, then?"
"Time is what never stops moving. He holds in his hand time: a clock, an hourglass?" Kirk inspects the door closely as they stand before it. Perception
Kirk keeps silent during the inter-party exchange. Victoria's familiar is none of his business, and he clearly isn't bothered by the succubi's appearance if it means they are gaining power.
"Halt," Kirk says, "This floor tile is trapped." He stoops down and inspects the tile, then pulls out his set of thieve's tools and goes to work trying to disarm the thing. Disable Device
Kirk inspects his blade and shield carefully during the down time, taking a moment to lean heavily against the stone wall, winded slightly by the weight of his armor during battle. "Those things were pesky," he says during a moment of silence. "Ready to continue on, shall I scout ahead?" Stealth
Acrobatics Kirk dances between the zombies, , and attacks the zombie he's now flanking with Solaric. Attack Dagger

Hey everyone, just saying that I begin my long travel home today... an overnight train and then an overnight plane. I may not find internet reliably for a few days, therefore.
Round 5 Kirk keeps up his attack, slashing at the zombie directly in front of him. Attack Dagger (w/ +1 from Cairn and +1 from Solaric's Bless, +1 from Flofer)
Critical Confirmation
Attack Shield Bash (w/ +1 from Cairn, +1 from Solaric's Bless, +1 from Flofer)
2nd Attack Dagger (w/ +1 from Cairn and +1 from Solaric's Bless, +1 from Flofer)
The zombie's clumsy slam is deflected easily, and Kirk continues the attack -- ganging up on the nearly crippled zombie with Cairn. Attack Dagger (w/ +1 from Cairn and +1 from Solaric's Bless, +1 from Flofer)
Attack Shield Bash (w/ +1 from Cairn, +1 from Solaric's Bless, +1 from Flofer)
2nd Attack Dagger (w/ +1 from Cairn and +1 from Solaric's Bless, +1 from Flofer)
Reflex
Kirk manages to dodge the next barrage of flaming magic as well, and his shield still deflects the attacking zombie's blows. He retaliates with another flurry of attacks from dagger and shield. Attack Dagger (w/ +1 from Cairn and +1 from Solaric's Bless)
Attack Shield Bash (w/ +1 from Cairn and +1 from Solaric's Bless)
2nd Attack Dagger (w/ +1 from Cairn and +1 from Solaric's Bless)
Kirk blocks the zombie's fiery slams with his shield, sparks flying, but grunts heavily with the blow. Reflex Save
And with a flurry of ducks, spins, one or two lucky leaps into the air, and a few precious heartbeats huddled behind his shield, he manages to avoid essentially all of the magical fire blasts from the zombies in back. His eyes flash angrily, but he remains unharmed.
Round 2 Kirk lashes out with dagger and shield against the same zombie he and Solaric hit earlier .
Attack Shield Bash (w/ +1 from Cairn and +1 from Solaric's Bless)
2nd Attack Dagger (w/ +1 from Cairn and +1 from Solaric's Bless)
Shifty I'd be curious in joining a PFS PBP if you'd have me, but I wouldn't be able to actually commit to it until mid-May because that's when I've booked my ticket home. I've also never played PFS but am of course intrigued, so there's that minor speedbump as well... Oh yeah, and I guess on a more general note: my great world-traversing journey comes to an end on May 12th when I fly back to San Francisco. Granted, San Fran is still a good 800 miles or like 1300 km from "home," but being back in the States will feel like homecoming enough I think (not having to worry about visas every month or two, etc.) And wifi will be basically impossible to not find.
Kirk steps forward around Flofer and cuts toward the zombie in front of Solaric with his razor-sharp dagger. Attack
"Johenric, can you shoot those lights out and see what that is?" Kirk has raised his shield and prepared for whatever is coming.
"Maybe this burnt wood was once a barricade..." Kirk mutters, kicking through the soot and ash. At Victoria's question, he says, "No I don't feel it quite yet, Victoria, but maybe this rubble is a sign of a firey future for us all." Kirk will continue up the stairwell, maintaining his stealth and watchful eye.
Kirk pads forward softly, his shield and dagger held at the ready, bestially-Orcish eyes seeing through the darkness. He does his best to ignore the chanting voices. Stealth
