Kishara's page

Yes, it was an interesting scenario and we got to play the entire Gameday. Thanks for running! ^_^

"Yes, you all do the name of Pathfinder proud. And Khugron, the poncho barely helped at all! Shall I send you the dry cleaning bill? Blood is notoriously hard to get out of linen." She said with a jovial smirk and held up her collar where it was stained.

Is that it then? We're all done?

I honestly don't remember finding an orb... Ah well.

With the rescued pathfinders, the tokens for those they could not save in time, and Phlegos in hand, Kishara nodded to Dana's question. "It is time to carry our brethren home. We'll have to keep the betrayer here under guard though." She said with a glance toward his surviving victims. "The Decemvirate needs him alive." She said within their hearing, hoping they will not try to harm him on the journey home out of revenge.

Did you report we retrieved the tokens for the dead? Cause we meant to do that, right guys? =D

Kishara takes a step back, draws her shortbow and fires.

Shortbow attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Confirm?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 Nope

Sorry folks, can't figure a way to get flanking here. =/

Kishara had taken her time with searching and securing Phlegos in bonds. She was among the last to exit the room, noticing Dana was nearing the bottom of the staircase, she tried to call out to her. "Remember, the trap..." was all she got out before it was triggered and they all went sliding down.

"Resets." She finished uselessly after landing in a pile of kelp.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
"Hey, look out, in the water." She pointed, too late to help Khugron , and throwing her handy dagger.

Throw Dagger: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3 Sneak Attack?: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 3) = 11

"That's who we came for, Khugron. That is Phlegos. Indeed, we do take care of our own. How about you come along with us so we can take care of you. You don't look well, sir." She offered the former V.C.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

She will accept his surrender if he comes along now, if not, she will move to attack, drawing her sap and stepping over what is left of Jirandel to reach him.

Sap attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Sneak Attack?: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2) = 12
Maybe she can get a flank with Khugron if she hops up on the bed.

Kishara moves through the double doors and closes on the Captain as she draws her shrortsword, unseen. She stabs at her from behind as she pops back into view, hoping to divide her attention and gain an advantage.

+1 Shortsword(Adamantine)+Flank: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Sneak Attack: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6) = 8

When the door proves to be locked, Kishara pulls out and uses the chime of opening again. Suspecting that it will have a better chance of not alerting those within than using her tools.
Still taking 10 on Stealth if possible for 23, and still casting Vanish before entering.

Before heading up the stairs, Kishara quickly goes over their resources to be sure they are distributed to their best advantage. She also handed over her wand of infernal healing to either Ezren or Dana so they could cast it on her, healing her up from her wound from the last fight.

wand of blur (6 charges) Could be cast on all of us before the fight
pearl of power (1st level), Ezren has one already, Maybe Dana can use?
potion of shield of faith Khugron has lowest total AC but Dana has lowest touch AC, neither has a ring of protection so they get full effect, probably best to give to Dana and give Khugron a barkskin
oil magic weapon (2), Kish can use one on her sap if no one needs
potion of barkskin (2), Khugron and Marduk can get full benefit of these
potion of cure moderate wounds x 2 Kish can carry one of these into battle
potion of fly, ??? We could turn Dana into a zeppelin? XD
scroll of alter winds
acid (2),
antitoxin (2); Kish can carry one of these into battle
cloak of resistance +2, Kish has lowest saves overall, so she can wear this instead of her +1 cloak

Kishara gets her dagger in hand and nods when she is ready to head in, then casts Vanish on herself.

Kishara is similarly subdued by the news of so many Pathfinders lost forever. "Don't forget, we need to take the bastard alive." She cautioned while looking at Khugron, but also telling herself as much as anyone.

Someone wants potion of fly, scroll of alter winds ??

"I can probably use those to deal with the trap again, if it has reset. Do any of you know how to deactivate the warding runes in foyer?" She asked the four freed slaves.

Is the wand part of the higher tier too?

Kishara pulled a filled waterskin from her pack while she located her thieves tools and handed it to the bound slaves. "Don't worry, we're going to get you out of here. Do you know if there are other slaves here?"

Then she set to work releasing their bonds.
Disable Device: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 2 = 26
Disable Device: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 2 = 34
Disable Device: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 2 = 36
Disable Device: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 2 = 25

Any shackles she fails to unlock, she will us the chime of opening on.

Oh, I was supposed to pick. I was thinking we were still going with odd is good from earlier. That works for me. I am odd, and that is good. XD

1d12 ⇒ 10 What's this for, btw?

Kishara moves in swiftly, drawing her swords and striking at the Tengu.

Round 1
+1 Shortsword(Adamantine): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Crit Damage?: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Sneak Attack?: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5) = 16

I still think she could get that dagger throw off in surprise based on positioning, just maybe with a range penalty. If so, included movement as part of my round 1 action. If not, she will be in position at the beginning of round 1. If the Tengu is the only enemy here, she will 5-foot step to the west of him to gain flanking, but she won't put her back to a hostile. Her acrobatics is +13 if she needed it in surprise.

Kishara's Surprise action

Ezren moves near Dana and whispers.

- People inside ... perhaps a good fireball may fix this situation.

Kishara shakes her head and explains softly. "Remember we may find enslaved Pathfinders here. Be sure there are no bystanders before unleashing area magic like that." She continued to creep along quietly and drew her dagger again to be ready to throw once they opened the door and identified a target.

Ready Attack Throw Dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4Sneak Attack Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 6) = 13
Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Still taking 10 on stealth for 23 total.

Kish grabs a potion of barkskin and hands the cloak off to Dana. "Ezren and I drew a blank on this one. Maybe you can identify it?"

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
I don't know the DC, but hopefully that 22 got it.

Kishara spends a moment shaking off her blindness and then sets about searching the fallen pirates. "Remember the trap on the entryway resets." She reminded the others softly.

She detects magic and works on identifying those items.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Still blind, Kishara could not risk moving back into the entry hall and instead waited for the others to take care of the dogs she heard barking.

Is Kish still blind? Last save was a 17. Is Blue prone? Bonus from haste added.

Kishara let loose with both swords, slashing at the target in front of her. Her movements almost too fast to track.

+1 Shortsword(Adamantine): 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Sneak Attack?: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 1) = 9
+1 Shortsword(Silversheen): 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Sneak Attack?: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 6) = 12
+1 Shortsword(Adamantine): 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Sneak Attack?: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 4) = 10

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Kishara shakes her head in a futile attempt to shake off the magical dust blinding her. She draws her shortswords anyway and steps toward the nearest enemy's last known position. But she took a defensive stance instead of attacking.

Move: Draw weapons, 5-foot step, Standard: Total defense for 24 AC, Glitterdust allows a second save at the end of the turn:
Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Kishara takes a step into the room and with a flick of her hand toward the man in the corner, she releases her dagger, throwing it straight for him. Attacking Blue.

Throw Dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 Sneak Attack Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) = 4
Well that was underwhelming... XD
Dagger is cold iron, if that matters.

What south door? Are we going upstairs?

Kishara advises the group quietly, "It's only deactivated for a while, I don't know how long. But they must have means to deactivate it themselves. We might observe how it's done, if they come in here." She draws a dagger, to have it in hand, ready to throw. She creeps toward the source of the sounds to observe what she can about the room before they enter.

Take 10 on stealth for 23.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 (31 for avoiding surprise, 32 for traps)

Kishara continues to detect magic as she gets out her masterwork thieves tools and prepares to work. "I can disable magical traps, let me see now..." She continues to speak softly and move quietly.

I think dispelling a rune only affects one, possibly, and there are several by the description.

Disable device: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 16 + 2 = 30

Trap monkey, reporting for duty!

Kishara sizes up the manor. "Only one way in..." she whispered. She activated her spell-like ability to detect magic and she softly made her way to the door. (Taking 10 on stealth for 23, since we already scouted the perimeter, assuming no traps on the door, that roll was 29 vs traps)

She checked for magical auras, just to be sure and then tried the door, hoping it would be unlocked. If it was, she would need her tools. If not, she opened the door as quietly as she could and scanned the room beyond for traps and/or magical auras.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34 (36 for avoiding surprise, 37 for traps)

Kishara joins Khugron in scouting.

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26 (+2 to avoid surprise, +3 for traps)

I think Dana made a strong point against freeing the efreeti. He backed the point up himself when he brought up that he is immortal. When comparing the potential harm that can be done by our favor to Vayn vs the potential harm the efreeti can do over an immortal lifetime, Kishara can definitely see that helping Vayn is the lesser of two evils.

Also the efreet are legendary for twisting words and wishes out of context, so I don't believe you can get him to "promise to be good" and rely on him to stick to that, even though they are lawful. Also we could theoretically go back on our word later or choose to complete his mission our own way.

So first choice: Owe Vayn a favor
Second: Dana and Khugron serve the month
Third: Free the genie

Dana looks at Kishara and nods.

"I am bound to cooperate by my oath to the Pathfinder Society. Kishara has given a path that I can also follow."

Kishara's offering to owe a favor.

Kish gives the sturdy woman a pat on the shoulder. "An open-ended favor could turn out worse than a month of servitude. But I like the idea of a known slaver with Pathfinder slaves, for any amount of time, even less. Let alone Liberators, no?" Her lips twisted as if it left a bad taste in her mouth.

She wasn't really entertaining the idea of freeing the efreeti anymore, but curiosity led her to ask him some questions anyway. "From what I heard, Vayn pushes the limits of mortality himself. Something about a sun orchid elixir... you may be here longer than you think. What will you do when you do get free of him, eventually? Hypothetically, that is, if you don't mind my asking."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Appreciate an aid there if possible, you get better answers if we improve his attitude.

Alright, way to always be closing, Dana! XD

Kishara had suspected the man might be persuaded to see that providing this information to the Society was in his best interest, possibly he might even have a task for a team of unattached Pathfinders to accomplish without the deed leading back to him. She was surprised to hear Dana offer herself so freely and stood by to make sure they would not end up trading one Pathfinder's freedom away completely for the information. She felt somewhat responsible given she herself had elicited the woman to be prepared to offer more.

She bowed, displaying the Qadiran manners she had picked up. "My name is Kishara Razard. My father was the Elven ambassador to Cheliax before he was murdered by infernal assassins. The Silver Crusade helped me track down the Diabolists who conspired to have him killed. Now I work for them." She opened her vest to flash her faction insignia, pinned to the interior. "Usually by pulling Pathfinder bacon out of the fire." She said with a wink to Dana. "Our apologies that we do not bring a proper guest gift. We have heard of your discerning tastes and were unable to find something suitable on short notice and did not wish to offend with a common gift. Perhaps we can offer you our services? I assure you, I am very discreet."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

“I am still suffering from amnesia because of the torture I had to endure and my mind is trying to escape... by forgetting. And do you know who wronged me? Who‘s cruelty I and thousands of others had to endure? It was an Efreeti!!“

She breathes heavily.

“I will not free Khanuur. Whatever Vayn is doing. How horrendous the man’s actions. I cannot imagine that they surpass those of an Efreeti who is free to act!!“

Kishara frowned at the woman's outburst. "You do not serve the Society to bar one of our possible paths to success. I hope that means you will be willing to do more to help us find another avenue to save the missing Pathfinders, yes?" She tucked the items away in her pack to ensure they would have them when they were needed, no matter what was decided regarding the Efreeti.

Ready to move on here.

I don't understand the voting. We have to go talk to Vayn to gain access to both him and his enslaved genie.

If you are voting to influence Vayn vs freeing the genie, I'd like to point out, We don't have the rare booze item that would help win Vayn's aid. That may mean freeing the genie is our only path to success, unless one of you rare, former slaves wants to go back under the yoke? I'd be ok with attempting a ruse maybe, but we'll have to see what we're up against first.

The light in her glowing eyes dims as she narrows them before responding. "Not an informant no. We learned of him from a series of ledgers we obtained. They were encoded, but we were able to identify Corvius Vayn as Phlegos' contact in Sedeq.”

...
"The treachery of this traitor has the eyes of the Decemvirate. The will wish to question him. I have a few questions for him regarding those missing Pathfinder agents, too.” She pauses, "Questioning the dead is not beyond the realm of the Society's abilities, though my priority is finding the agents."

Kishara smiled and nodded, softening her tone. "That is good to hear, both about the priorities and that we need no kid-gloves. My apologies for the implication, I find I am not so trusting ever since the Shadow Lodge. The letter of introduction sounded... partnerial. You give good information. Thank you for the items, we will put them to good use."

---

Later, she briefed the team on what she had learned. "So, do we have anything rare enough to tempt this 'collector'? Since gold is not going to do it?" Her violet eyes fell on the Nagaji. "He may wish to collect you if he prizes fighting slaves." She warned Khugron. "The rest of us are not so... unique."

Kishara does not have any of those mentioned chronicles, I'm afraid. Dana might qualify for being rare too, but Kish is assuming she is human atm.

The half-elf merely nodded in greeting to the newcomers and spoke her own name as introduction. "Kishara." Though she did shift her stance so as to better keep an eye on the Nagaji.

Karisa Starsight takes a moment to compose herself. “Venture-Captain Yuul tells me that you are fine agents and will be able to help me track down the ex-Pathfinder, Phlegos Dulm. I’ve got a lead on some missing Pathfinder agents we believe he poisoned and sold into slavery to cover his substantial debts. I can’t track both at once, so I’ll be relying on you to find Phlegos and bring him in. Meanwhile I’ll be locating our missing agents. The Decemvirate would like to question Phlegos, so bring him back alive, if possible.

“I would start by talking to Corvius Vayn, a slave merchant and genie binder. He is about as untrustworthy and despicable as they come, but he was also Phlegos’s primary contact here in Sedeq. If anyone knows where he is, it will be Vayn. I’ve managed to obtain a letter of introduction for you. He’ll know you’re Pathfinders and will likely suspect you want information on Phlegos; his spy network is extensive.

“You might also be able to obtain information on Phlegos from Khanuur, Vayn’s efreeti slave who rarely leaves his side. Normally
I’d recommend freeing Khanuur in exchange for information, but Khanuur is an evil genie, an efreeti. Freeing him would mean letting a powerful evil force free into the world but keeping him enslaved seems unfair to any creature. I trust your judgment to do what you feel is right.

Kishara scoffed aloud and then spoke with a Chelish accent. "Your informant is a known slaver? I've heard of fighting fire with fire, but this seems excessive for Liberty's Edge, no? I suppose we should handle Vayn with kid-gloves to keep the little bird in your pocket, yes? How should we persuade him? With gold, as Ezren says? What about the genie, any angle we might approach for his aid besides freeing him? What would it take to free him? I'm handy with a lock, but he can't be much use as a slave if he is locked up, no?" She rattles off her barrage of questions at a quick clip and pauses a moment before asking the ones that ranks most important in her mind. "How important is it that Phlegos be taken alive? Will we need anything special to subdue and transport him?"

---

After the meeting, Kishara hit the streets again, this time to learn more about Corvius Vayn and his Efreeti slave. Is that one subject or two? Rolling twice just in case...
Diplomacy(Gather Information): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Diplomacy(Gather Information): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

A slender figure shadows the party, stopping to speak with people where she can. A boot buff here, a dagger sharpened there, some silver and penny candies handed out the local urchins. She had little faith in published guides and redacted Pathfinder reports. In her experience, if you wanted to know something about anything, you relied on the word on the street.

Diplomacy(Gather Info: Karisa Starsight): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Diplomacy(Gather Info: Phlegos Dulm): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Knowledge(Local) Sea-side Manor in Sedeo?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

With her leg-work done, she proceeded to the tavern mentioned in the letter. She entered quietly, her soft-booted feet making hardly a sound. She seems extraordinarily ordinary at first glance. Of average height with a slim frame, she is dressed simply, clad in leather boots, breeches and vest over an off-white linen shirt. Only a flash of gleaming metal peeking out from beneath the open collar of her shirt gives any hint that she is armored. Her glossy, blue-black hair is plaited into a braid that coils over her shoulder. Her sharp, angular features mark her as having elven blood, but her ears are scarred and missing the tell-tale pointed tips. A number of scars mar her face as well and her nose is slightly askew, as if it had been broken one too many times. Her only truly striking feature is her strange violet eyes that never seem to rest anywhere for long as they scan ceaselessly for trouble. She carries a plain looking backpack and wears a pair of shortswords, the belts crisscrossing over her hips.

She recognized the contact, but made a circuit of the place first. Noting the entrances and exits, possible choke points and most defensible corners... and wrinkling her sensitive nose at the horrid smell.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

We only had one wizard sign up, but if you have a spellbook to share please let us know. To that end, Ethelner. If you would rather play an in-tier character of your own feel free to make the switch.

We are missing two folks still. I sent an email so hopefully they will join us soon.

I have provided a link to our slides which will be used for maps and handouts. ** spoiler omitted **Please add your token to Slide one. The link is above and also right there in my stats block. And here

These slides will be what I use to communicate if Paizo should be unreachable.

Please don't forget to post in Gameplay so the campaigns will show up.

I had thought to buy one maybe, but I'm not sure what I would do with it other than share it out. My rogue can UMD wands and scrolls, but I don't think she can actually use a spellbook. XD

I tried to add the token, but the slides are set for view only right now.

Any purchases before-session?
Er... I'm not sure. Considering a Belt of Physical Might (Dex/Con)
Did we still need a spellbook to share out, or is that a moot point with only a pregen wizard in the group?

Hmm, she seems to be off by herself on the edge of the map. GM, was there a point in sending her that way?
Knowledge(Local): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Kishara sprints across the room, pulling her other shortsword to see about helping Dusk out with the unknown reptilian humanoid.

+1 Adamantine Shortsword attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Kinda doubt I can pull off a flank with the position of the wall, but just in case...
Sneak Damage, DF: 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 2) + 1 = 13

Knowledge(Local): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Kishara moves to look over the guestbooks, watching carefully for any hazards. "It's custom to sign in. Might as well. Maybe those who came before did us did too." She gets out her pen from her Scrivener's kit and writes in their names.

"Hmm, a lot of info here. Can anyone make heads or tails of it? I do have a scroll that will let us read it if nothing else. Hailey, I think you can use this, yes?" She pulls a scroll of comprehend languages and offers it to the cleric.

Kish has UMD, but can't take 10 to activate yet. She will let someone cast the scroll on themselves. Hailey is probably the best bet since she has the best perception.
Sorry I flubbed the first part and then missed the last of the fight. I tried to post Tues night/Wed morning but I couldn't get the site to load. >_<

Kishara fires again missing almost as badly for the second time. >_<

Fire Composite Shortbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Kinda. They are currently flat-footed bellied 40’ above you (on Harmonius’ elevation) with their heads peeking over the edge, if you will.

Because they have a Climb speed, they can indeed defy gravity …
❂⚔⛪️✄

They must have serpent abs of steel... LOL!

All thoughts of crossing leave Kishara's mind as the threat becomes apparent. She drops the rope for now and draws her shortbow, knocks an arrow and fires on the closest one.

Fire Composite Shortbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Unfortunately, the angle is awkward and the shot is badly placed.

Crap... so much for taking 10. I'm a little unclear... are you saying these snakes are defying gravity and slithering down the wall? If so, how far above us are they now?

Knowledge(dungeoneering) take 10: 10 + 6 = 16

Kishara watches with wide, unblinking eyes as Harmonius dances his way across the narrow ledge. "He may regret that decision... By the looks of that stonework, some of the degradation is natural erosion. But some of it has been cut away intentionally."

She was pretty light on her feet but considering how far the fall was, she felt the safer approach was best. Nodding her agreement with Dusk's plan, she too pulls out a 50 ft length of silk rope. "If we are linked, we can aid each other in balancing as well. But we need to leave enough slack between us to make the jumps. Those who need the most help should go in the middle." She hands one end of her rope to Dusk so he can tie them together and sets to tying the other end around her waist.

Probably need to link two 50 ft ropes to have enough slack. Kish has +13 to Acro, so she can't fail to aid and she should be able to take 10 and not risk falling on her own checks. A 15 ft jump is a DC 15 Acro check. It doesn't look like anyone has negative mods, so taking 10 along with 2 aids and maybe a guidance should do the trick for all of us.

"HA!" the orcblood appears amused "Talking and making friends not my strong point either, I spent too much time with the warbands, and tracking for Hellknights, none of that good for learning dealing with people. Most of the ones I get to speak to are just quarry, and the conversation always the same 'lemme go, lemme go, I din do it, honest' - how I supposed to make friends with that?"

Kishara's eyes go wide for a moment and she quickly makes herself busy looking around for the possible third statue, muttering under her breath in Elvish.

The oni looks over at the statue holding the gong again. “Are you going to do anything with the other one?”

"Don't look at me. The only instruments I ever learned to use have a pointy end." She mimes stabbing to provide visual aid.

At best, Kishara could help if she rolls well.
Perform(untrained) Aid?: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Heh... well Kish is no survivalist... I'll roll it so maybe she can aid someone else. I was hoping for something more like stealth. Is it likely that all the digging will disturb the birds?

Survial: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
"I think I see a way, but I could use some help from someone a bit more... outdoorsy."

Turning to Pitbull, she asks "Offering of rice, eh? Is that what he gave it to us for? Should that be raw or cooked?"
Kish isn't much help in matters of strength. I guess she can set up the rice cooker if need be.

Kishara shakes her head and puts a single finger to her lips, signaling for quiet. "No dragons, but we should still take care. These are martins, they are held in high regard in these lands. They are easily spooked away from their young and will not return if they are, so we must be careful not to frighten them. As Tanbaru says, we should disturb things as little as possible on this path."

She looks carefully for a way to go around them, or at least for a path that will bother them the least.

Take 10 or 20 if it won't take long on Perception to spot a way that won't disturb the birds. Total 32 if she can take 20.

Ok, all updated now! Sorry for my delay, I am having a busy week IRL.

Kishara purchased the following:
Adamantine Shortsword +1 5010 gp
Amulet of Nat Armor 2000 gp
Wrist Sheath (Spring-loaded) 5 gp
Ghost Salt 200 gp
Masterwork Cestus 305 gp

Wand of Expeditious Retreat 2 pp

She will use the loan of climbing kit and already has cold-weather duds if needed also has 50 ft of rope as well.

As for marching order, she would prefer to be near the front to keep an eye out for traps. =)

A rather unremarkable young woman drifts out of the shadows, her soft-booted feet making hardly a sound. She is dressed simply, clad in leather boots, breeches and vest over an off-white linen shirt. Only a flash of gleaming metal peeking out from beneath the open collar of her shirt gives any hint that she is armored. Her glossy, blue-black hair is plaited into a braid that coils over her shoulder. Her angular features mark her as having elven blood, but her ears are scarred and missing the tell-tale pointed tips. A number of scars mar her face as well and her nose is slightly askew, as if it had been broken one too many times. Her only truly striking features are her strange, violet eyes that never seem to rest anywhere for long as they scan ceaselessly for trouble. She carries an ordinary looking backpack and wears a pair of shortswords, the belts crisscrossing over her hips.

She says very little, though. Seemingly off put by the turn of the conversation, she eyes Pitbull mistrustfully. But she does thank the Venture Captain for his aid, flashing a silver ankh pinned to the inside of her vest as she winks and smiles.

When offered tea, she says, "Black with vanilla sounds lovely, thank you." And she graciously accepts the loan of climbing gear and the rice and cooker, packing them away into her simple-looking backpack.

Old Pak pouts but appears somewhat mollified by Pitbull’s response. “Dwarf still better than half-or… ELF! Suppose it do.”

The half-elf raises an arched eyebrow at the old man, but says nothing.

She asks only a few questions, "How many days will we be on the trail? And should we expect to meet with other kami or spirit entities?" The latter she addresses to Tanbaru directly.

"Tanbaru, what are the proper customs to observe while we travel? We do not want offend the spirits if we can help it."

Sorry! Been working on this post for a few hours now, kept getting interrupted. Unfortunately Kish knows none of those languages. Level up is complete and I will update profile momentarily.

Looking forward to gaming with you all (or yinz, if you're from Pittsburgh!).

Texas here, so that would be y'all here. ^_~

Kish here is also a TWF and an acrobat. We can be flanking partners. Maybe take turns on who has to flip and tumble through the enemy line. ^_^

And now I HAVE to go make final decisions and level up! *cries*

.

Revvy's character;Cleric it is. I haven't played Tapestry's Toil (at least not with this character)

Sounds good to me! Poor Kish has a rather reckless strategy that leads to her landing on her ass more often than not. Shifty can attest! XD

I have not played Tapestry's Toil with any character. Does that change the intro any? Seems a bit different than most...
