Kisuke Hitomi's page

Now that we're done, you can set the campaign to inactive and it will stop showing on everyone's 'My Campaigns' page.

If you make it so player's can't edit the map you can cover parts of the map they can't see with opaque boxes. Preserves the mystery of the upcoming rooms and lets you hide stealthy monsters. Of course if they go invisible you just drag their marker off the map.

I, personally, am a fan of maps/battlegrids. Especially when playing a sneak attacker. I don't want to take liberties and assume I always have the flank, but then I will sometimes waste a turn getting to the flank when I didn't need to. Maps remove the need for all that.

I concur with Standard about GM rolling initiative, and block initiatives in combat. The GM I'm doing Rise of the Runelords with does it that way, and it works well.

"There was still another passage to explore, but this seemed like a more pressing matter." Hitomi says.

Swords

Hitomi waits for the halfling to wake up, ashamed of her pathetic showing in battle.

Kusarigama Blade Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Kusarigama Blade Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (6) + 1 = 14

I guess that's payment for at least a crit on my fighter and my seer (Thunderscape World Guide class).

Hitomi waits for the minotaur to charge Akashi and then tumbles around it, setting up a flanking position opposite her.

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

I'd have delayed to let the minotaur get in range anyway. Move action: Tumble behind the minotaur. Standard: Convert to move: Draw my Kusarigama.

Acrobatics: Tumble: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Apologies, internet was out for two days.

Seeing that her cesti are ineffectual, Hitomi readies her kusarigama, steps forward and swings the sickle-like end at the remaining zombie, cutting a deep gash in its rotting chest cavity.

Kusarigama (Sickle) Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Kusarigama (Sickle) Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

First to react, Hitomi steps forward and plants two heavy strike into the face of the closest zombie. To her surprise it's still standing though the blows would have killed any normal living man.

"Well said Konnief," Hitomi says upon hearing the Chelaxian's pun.

Cestus Attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Cestus Damage 1: 1d4 + 4 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (2) + 1 = 8
Cestus Attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Cestus Damage 2: 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (4) + 1 = 11

I'm going to assume I'm within 10' of the zombies so I can 5' and attack with both hands. If I'm not just use the first attack at a +2 (removing the TWF penalty)

Now that they've figured out the correlation, as long as you can reason out the action required on your own, you can do what's needed. Know: Religion is just giving us hints AFAIK

Hitomi maintains her vigil, assuming her allies can deal with the altar.

Hitomi maintains watch from the edge of the cavern.

In the shadows near the entrance to this part of the cavern from the part with the reliefs.

Hitomi maintains her position, waiting to see the gillman's reaction.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Any creatures visible?

Hitomi prowls around the edge of the cavern, searching for signs of living creatures.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Hitomi ghosts along behind Akashi and Konnief.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

"Religion has never been the focus of my studies, I'll leave this to you," Hitomi says, keeping watch on the exits of the room, from whatever area of shadows or cover she can find.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Linguistics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

My dice have hated me for the last week or two. Repaying me for all my crits on my fighter apparently

"I would say yes. We should write down or make rubbings of these reliefs."

"You were being helpful, Hans, we had no idea there was a plank on the other side. We work with the information we have and when it changes, so too must we change."

Hitomi picks up the plank and hefts it into place.

With a running start, Hitomi easily leaps the pit. She then uncoils her rope, checks the knot on the grappling hook, throws the rope into the pit and anchors the hook in a likely spot. "Just a simple matter of climbing now," the ninja says, her wide grin unseen as she tries to find a good place to hide.

Long jump, running start: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

"I can probably get the wand to work, but it takes a while, which make it not particularly useful in combat," Hitomi says. "The scrolls are far more difficult, but still within possibility. Anyway, let us do as we came to do." With that, Hitomi takes the lead, slowly moving deeper into the caverns.

Still using stealth from above

I'd like the vanish potion, and maybe one of the CLWs.

"We must complete the mission," Hitomi says, entering the dark cavern as Janira commanded. She sticks close to the walls, staying in deep shadows.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Hitomi emerges from the brush and says, "Stealth is an art unknown by many. I shall continue to shadow you." With that, she returns to the foliage and follows the group.

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Unseen even by the wolves, Hitomi throws a pair of tiny knives (shuriken) at the remaining wolf.

Shuriken 1 Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Shurkien 1 Damage: 1d2 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (6) = 12
Shurkien 2 Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Shurkien 2 Damage: 1d2 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (1) = 7

Hitomi stays off the primary path, keeping to the brush as she shadows the group.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Hitomi looks up from her meal at the conversation and says, "It is a common enough practice among certain orders of monks in Tian Xia. Each ahs a different reasoning for their dietary restriction. I am sure this one is no different."

"Almost two days I believe."

"It is settled then."

Whereas, Hitomi is a spy and more-or-less assassin for the Chelaxian nobility. While Konnief and Hitomi work at cross purposes, they seem to think the same way.

"Your directors are wise, Konnief," Hitomi says, nodding and pressing her right fist to her left palm in a gesture of respect.

"I am Hitomi, my parents moved to Cheliax from Tian-Min when I was but an infant. The short of it is that I spent my childhood learning ninjutsu from my father, and was recently offered a field commission by Paracountess Dralneen after completing a few... 'tasks' for her. The long of it would take a while..."

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

"An excellent question," Hitomi says, nodding toward the tiefling, "what dangers do you expect we'll be facing in our travails?" Though she appears to be Tien, the young woman speaks in a perfect Chelish accent.

At 5'7" Hitomi is somewhat tall for a woman of Tian descent. She is lithe and well muscled with olive skin and dark, tilted eyes. Her jet black hair is hidden in the hood of her cloak, and a scarf rests around her neck, ready to be pulled up to obscure her face.

She wears a studded leather jerkin that has been dyed a very dark brown and had its studs painted black as well. Hitomi's clothes are made in the Chelish style, the leather dark brown, and the cloth dark blue.

Hitomi is armed with a few knives, some smaller throwing knives and a perculiar weapon that looks like a small scythe on a chain.

This is Kenji Elindir from the recruitment thread. I'm just kind of assuming first come, first served since no list of accepted people was posted.
