According to the new rules, Players are responsible for rolling and recording their own downtimes, and may chose not to do so if they prefer to simplify play. So to make it official, here is my earn income roll for the 2 days of downtime we get from a Quest.
According to this table a PC Level 1-2 success on a Quest is good for 1sp. Wooo! I'll tack it onto my chronicle.
Once the last of the bad guys goes down, Kizik hops from foot to foot in nervous excitement as the adrenaline slowly dissipates. "Everybody do good job. Kizik happy you on his team. Kizik sorry he wasn't more help." Hearing the voice in the distance, Kizik scampers down the hallway to try and find the source. He calls out. "Good guys are here. Bad guys are dead. You can come out."
Kizik really doesn't like the look of the Otyugh heading his way. "Uh, oh. Big guy coming!" He quickly scrambles to reload, while simultaneously kicking more chunks of nearby debris to the other side of the sewer hoping to distract the creature. Once his gun is full of knives again, he points and shoots before making a tactical withdrawal.
BakBat... attempts... to cast burning hands again. He successfully casts it, and, in order to get all three of the monsters in the fire, he will have to catch himself in the flames also. I really hate to point this out, but the Cone rules state that: You can’t aim a cone so that it overlaps your space.
Kizik watches as the otyugh whisks his new friends away. "Uh oh! BakBat and Tolobo go bye bye. Kizik go bang bang!" But first he has to reload. This time he throws in a bunch of knives. As he's reloading, he kicks a loose rock into the water where it makes a splash to draw the otyugh's attention away from him. Regardless of whether his ruse works, he decides to sneak forward a short distance (risking the effects of the stench) to get into better position before firing his gun at the creature. BOOM! "Take that!"
Impulse-7. You may already realize this, but if you use Act Together, then your first action (Boost Eidolon) and that of Enforcer 571-294 (Stride) can happen at the same time, which would give Enforcer 571-294 two additional actions, for two Strikes instead of just the one.
I went ahead and dropped a yellow 30 foot emanation line around the yellow otyugh to indicate the extent of the Stench. Looks like the only ones currently missing out on the fortitude save are Kizik and the two Phantoms. GM, can a PC who sees his less fortunate friends affected by the stench take measures to avoid the problem before entering the area of effect themselves? I'm thinking along the lines of Holding one's breath or wrapping something around the face, or holding one's nose, or combinations of the same. Which of those options would require an interact action to implement? Asking for a friend.
Why am I hearing that ominous Dun Dun Dunnn! sound in my head? I'm good with the current marching order.
When Impulse spots the trap and orders BakBat to freeze, Kizik is quite happy to be some distance away and around a corner from his conspecific companion. He listens carefully as the sorcerer attempts repeatedly to disable the trap. He's about to step forward to help when he hears the dreadful <clack> of the trap about to be triggered. "Uh oh! Kisik not like that sound. BakBat about to be chopped up if he not very, veeeery careful."
Tomorrow (Saturday) morning (Central European Time: UTC+1) I will be leaving Spain and driving to Italy where I will be living for the next several months. If all goes according to plan, the trip should take about 3 days, with me getting there sometime on Monday evening. I will not be totally incommunicado during this time and will try to post at least once a day. But if you find that I am not as responsive as usual, you will at least know why.
Kizik looks over the dead kobolds and listens in astonishment as the rest of the group misses all the details. "No, no, noooo!" He points to the crushed remains of one kobold. "That one squished by something hard and heavy." He then points at a few more. "Them burned by acid and them are chompy marks of large creature." Looking around some more, he spots some scrape marks leading away. "Oh, looooky see? Here where chompy creature move away." He then shakes his head. "But Kizik not good at tracking. Anyone good at tracking? Anyone know what monster is?"
To Kizik, everything that Impulse-7 and Enforcer 571-294 just said sounded a little like "<blah, blah, blah>." He understood none of it and wasn't all that sad about it. What Schek said on the other hand, he understood. "Kizik think Dreng want us to find bad guys; stop bad guys from killing kobolds. Pathfinders find bad guys then Pathfinders kill bad guys. Veeery simple."
At the appearance of Enforcer 571-294, Kizik starts so violently that he almost falls into the canal. He scrambles several steps backwards away from the new arrival, while waving his pistol at it and trying to decide what to target. He calms down a little when it becomes apparent that the robot is on their side, but is still shaken by its surprise appearance. He admonishes the android. "Kizik almost die of fright. Impulse-7 should give warning first." After a moment, the advantages of having such an armored ally become clearer to him. "Enforcer go ahead. Kizik follow."
Kizik jumps a little in surprise when Drengle appears as if out of nowhere. Excitedly, he runs over to the Captain. At the mention of good boots, Kizik looks down at his bare feet without concern. "Kisik not have boots. Kizik feet tough; better than boots." Following on Dreng's heels, he listens intently at what the Captain has to say. The mention of sewers worries him a little; not because of any personal squeamishness, but because his black powder ammunition does not do well in wet environments. Once they get to the chamber with all the floating bodies, Kizik gulps. Up until now, the excitement of his first mission had all been rather theoretical, but seeing the kobold corpses brought home the fact that they were now playing for keeps. He pulls out his pistol and holding it high, makes sure to keep it and his ammunition out of the water as he wades across the sewer channel. He hops out of the water onto the raised platform, and urging his comrades to follow, starts moving quietly down the passageway indicated by the Venture-Captain.
Kizik nods to the newcomers. "Yes, yesss. This is Dreng group. We all waiting for Dreng. Kizik hope he come soon." He was well-pleased with the makeup of the group. It was a good mix of longshanks and normal sized humanoids. He might even be able to avoid getting a crick in his neck from looking up at people all the time. He particularly liked Lolizette though, who was both easy on the eyes and a natty dresser. He was really looking forward to this mission. Where in Golarion had Dreng got to?
Kizik stares at Impulse-7 in open bewilderment. Without moving a muscle, his eyes dart left to Lolizette, then right to Raoul, hoping to gauge their reaction. His eyes then snap back to Impulse-7 in time to catch the smile. He shivers involuntarily; the odd combination of beauty and alienness playing tricks with his mind. He shakes his head to clear it and then shrugs. Who on this world wasn't a little strange, eh? "Kizik also happy to join Impulse-Seven for exciiiting mission." In his impatience, he starts shifting his weight from leg to leg again as he looks around at the passers-by. "Where Captain Dreng? Dreng late."
As the group waits, they notice a small figure dressed somewhat uniformly in black standing not too far away. On his head is a wide-brimmed felt fedora that keeps his face shaded. A long leather coat covers his leather armor, which is crisscrossed by two bandoliers; one loaded with a large number of small shiny brass cylinders; the other with what seems like small tied bundles of cheap flatware. His black leather pants are topped by a gun belt with a holster on his right side holding a pistol. His hands are covered with fingerless fitted kid leather gloves that are like a second skin. Strangely though, the figure is bare-footed. The figure appears to be almost hopping from foot to foot in incessant motion as he cranes his neck left and right as if in search of something. His head finally turns to face the group and the wide ears, red eyes and green-tinged gray skin make his goblin ancestry immediately clear. He stops moving for a second and looks closely at the group. His face finally splits into a wide grin showing a motley collection of sharp teeth pointing in all directions; he raises his hand and waves an excited greeting as he runs up. He's a little out of breath when he arrives, but recovers quickly. "This Captain Dreng group? Good, goood! Kizik also in group." He pauses to catch his breath. "Kizik excited. Reeealy excited! Dreng promised exciting first mission for Kizik." His eyes flicker over each member of the group trying to assess their strengths and weaknesses. He stops when he catches sight of Lolizette. "Ooo. Pretty lady. Nice hair. Nice clothes." His eyes fall to her feet and his jaw drops open a little in surprise. "Suuuper cooool shoes!"
Unless it is fire, BakBat would prefer not to take friendly fire. BakBat likes friendly fire. Ah, true. I forgot. Kizik is also a Charhide Goblin with Resistance 1 to Fire damage.
I'm done too. I rounded and outlined my token as I usually do, but feel free to do with it as you wish. Looking at the sign-ups, I don't see a lot of frontline types. Out of Rogue, Gunslinger, 2 Sorcerers, and 2 Summoners, it looks like the Eidolons will probably be best at the front, with gunslinger/rogue following and squishy sorcerers at the back. As for splash damage, I'm ok with it as long as it doesn't take Kizik out of the fight. My initiative does not include the +1 circumstance bonus for Scout (assuming anyone does that) because Kizik already gets a +2 circumstance bonus from his Ten Paces. I am based in Europe, so my posting times will be similar to the GMs (for once). |
