Kondai of Numeria's page

"Ow, Harumi says as she picks herself up from the ground.

"Alright, let's start looking around."

Great, Vageeta on a children's field trip. This isn't going to go poorly at all!

"Much of what we used to receive from Vidrian years ago is of little value to the Iruxi. Ekkeshikaar wants little and has thrived without any assistance from up north for this long. What exactly does Vidrian have to offer the Iruxi that we could possible find useful?"

Kondai pinches his nose and stands, up, clearly uncomfortable about having to recount the loss of his tribe again.

"Honored . . .elders." he is clearly unhappy about having to defer or bow to them, but does so respectfully. "You probably have not heard of my tribe, the Saiya-jin. We lived in numeria. For a long time we though ourselves immune to the outside world. There was a neighboring tribe called the Tuffles. We thought little of them and did not trade with them. Eventually we wiped them out The thing was, they were good farmers, and we could have traded food for protection to them. But we thought we did not need it.

"The point here is that just because you have done well up until now, does not mean you know what the future will hold. What if there is a famine here, and you need to import food for a year? What if there is a bountaful harvest one year, would you let all that excess food rot? You don't know what the future holds or what your future needs will be, so it's best to have a few connections you can rely on in a pinch."
Silvermount Lore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
===================================================

"How long will Vidrian remain free? Those that ruled there previously could return to try and subjugate them again. Can Vidrian remain independent or will this drag Ekkeshikaar into conflict it neither wants nor needs?"

"This can easily be worked out. Limit what ships can come into your port, only friggits of a certain size, no galleys. And bottleneck the entry ways. If anyone has any ideas about invading, you will have the upper hand in all defensive measures. Heck you could rig the whole dock to give way, dropping your would-be-attackers into the sea if things go awry. Make sure everyone trading with you knows this, and the won't even think about trying anything."

===================================================

"I have performed auguries and omens. Now is not an auspicious time for Ekkeshikaar to be making new trade deals." Lashweather speaks up. "These omens are serious but this Sable Tribe has helped to show a different interpretation as they will assist in explaining."

"Then don't open up trade deals today. We can work out the hows and the whys of ports and what boats can come, work on your defensive measures that you are worried about, and then, in a few days, maybe a week, we can hammer out the specifics of the actual trade. There, everyone is satisfied."

Hero Point Occultsim: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
===================================================

"Should trade be resumed, then tariff and taxes would need to be put into place. This cost has risen greatly since the last trade agreement and are likely too steep. Is there a way to find a way around this cost or reduce it?"

Confused, Kondai looks about. "D-do you want to put off talking about the trade deal because of ill omens or not? I mean . . . you kind of . . ." He calms himself down and takes a few deep breaths.

======================================================

"Ekkeshikaar is dependent upon Droon, a much larger Empire to the South for its resources. This trade deal could upset Droon and worsen relations with them, resulting in worse overall economic conditions for Ekkeshikaar."

Kondai almost pulls his hair out and-through clenched teeth- whispers to the rest of the party. "THEY ARE ALREADY TRADING WITH SOMEONE ELSE?! WHAT IS THIS B.S. ABOUT NOT NEEDING TO TRADE WITH ANYONE? DO THEY MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL???"

Trying his best to restrain himself, he flattens down his clothes and tries to respond calmly, though he is clearly annoyed.

"We can work around that. Tell us what Droon is supplying you and we will make sure not to compete with them. And if they cause a fuss, our armada is much bigger than theirs, so we will sail over to them and . . . politely remind them that it is in everyone's interest to be good trading partners."
Warfare Lore again-so glad I picked that up: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Can Kondai repeat the story of his people and the truffles for the first one (Silver Mount Lore?) Or can he use that to talk about getting these people new technology from the silver mount?

Kondai generates a ball of flame in his palm before palmstriking the water creature, a small explosion goes off in his hand an on the creature.

Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 4

He grumbles under his breath (this constellation is obviously broken!”

<>Then he casts shield
<>enters arcane cascade
<> and moves into flanking with Jaxon without provoking.

"Listen, we just want to make sure you are okay. Nobody has heard from you in a while and they expect you to be at trade negotiations tomorrow. You can see the concern."

Kondai is clearly not concerned and is just saying what he thinks the venture captain want him to say.

"A shame we did not have a mage able to send messages," Qigiq laments.

"Are you implying I couldn't cast that spell? I could . . . I just don't have it in my spellbook. Besides, would you want me to memorize some messaging spell or a spell that helps me kill a basalisk faster?"

Kondi whips around to see if the ambassador is speaking to someone else before turning back around.

”You-your joking right? I told you about the time a decision me and the rest of the higher ups at the tribe made a bad decision and got almost all of us killed, and you don’t consider that a failure?”

“Look, just. . . Trade is good. Do it.”
Intimidation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Kondai puts a shoulder around the ambasador and leads them away from the others for a second.

"Listen, Ambasador. I'm not going to mince words here. We want you to help these . . . eh . . . iruxi see the light and start trading here. You putting your name behind it would help. Now of course you don't want to look weak, I get that. But, well, I am lothe to admit it, and don't tell this to my companions, but sometimes you need to trade.

"So, yes, I understand that trade can be bothersome and more than a bit of a pain . . . but take it from someone whose learned the lesson the hard way, don't give up this opportunity. Trade is essential . . . even if it doesn't seem like it at first."
Silvermount Lore?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

"What does it look like? A basilisk got loose on the grounds and almost permanently petrified the ambassador." Kondai Harumphs some more.

Sorry, when I looked at the map it showed I hadn't moved. Guess it hadn't updated I'll step and just normal strike. Using the previous numbers I should do 9 damage.

Kondai kicks the creature up into the air before teleporting above it and delivering an atomic elbow drop.

"Gah, it's turning me to stone, just like Dabura's Spit! UGH!"

Kondai almost audibly rolls his eyes.

"I have been informed that you might need some texts translated from Hallit . . . I happen to speak that backw-I ehm, I mean I've been trained in that language. I . . . . might . . . be able . . . to assist." It sounds like getting those last words out was almost painful.

Kondai helps the Blackrose Museum as a consultant for their second silvermount exhibit.
Silvermount lore: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

"Oh please, who DOESN'T speak Hallit? Took me less than two months to learn when I was a child."

Just as an FYI I love this scenario, and yes, Kondai Does speak Hallit, but he views trade missions as beneath him. Just role-play, please no one take this too seriously.

"Wait. so you are telling me, that you are sending the prince of the Saya-jin tribe on a TRADE MISSION? This is beneath me! I am a proud warrior and noble, not some . . . some . . . merchant"Kondai spits the last word out with disgust, then begins the mantra of 'explore report cooperate as a way of seemingly calming himself down.

"Fantastic" Kondai rolls his eyes sarcastically. "Let's grab this . . . vessel and head back. Glad we could be of assistance."

"DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA" he howls as he creates a balls of flame in his palm in quick succession and fires them off at the hag.

2d4+3 damage, +1 from arcane cascade

Dang, this hag has an AC of 23 or higher? Man, that’s nasty.

Kondai’s eyes flicker open. He quickly weaves a protective spell, seems to power up with energy, and the disappears from the hag’s field of vision only to reappear mid-kick behind her before falling to the ground again prone.

Kondai, you aren't flanking, but you could be if you were one square to the left. I think you had the movement to get there, but you probably would have crossed between the doll and the hag. Do you want to move there for the flank?

Actually, because I am a laughing shadow magus, my speed is increased by 5ft. per round while in arcane cascade, so I can run around without provoking from the hag (see the lines I drew)

Kondai will rush forward and spellstrike the doll with produce flame.

"Dark Impact . . . FIRE!"

@GM, just as an FYI, I did produce flame at range last round, didn’t have enough actions to get up, spellstrike, and enter arcane cascade.

"Use bludgeoning weapons if you have them. This annis hag's skin is very tough!"

"You say punching her is effective . . .excellent!" Kondai grins, then fires off a ki blast bit of magic fire before an aura surrounds him.

"Listen, we just want our property back, hand it over."

Alaric and Qigiq

”One of you should take the healing stick, we don’t have a lot of Senzu beans healing potions with us.”

Kondai then nods at Qigiq, as a silent thanks for the healing spell.

"I've just about had enough of you. DEMON RUSH!"

Kondai, in a blind rage, just starts launching punch after punch on the blue creature in a massive, if untargeted, flurry of blows

@GM according to your numbers, I was at -12, and took 22 damage from a crit, which should leave me at -34, not -36, or did I miss something?

Kondai, badly hurt, will shout in rage, wind back a punch, and disappear, only to reappear flanking Red with Red

Kondai kicks the enemy up in the air, almost missing them, but he manages to save it. Then he appears above the enemy as they are being forced up, and does an atomic elbow drop on them.

<>Cast Shield

"Oh great, here come more fools ready to die."
<>Cast Shield
<>Enter Arcane Cascade
<>Stride towards blue

"Amara Li! I KNEW it! I KNEW IT!" Kondai begins fuming under his breath. [i"]What if the kami don't like what's in the shipment?"[/i] He switches to a bad impression of Amara Li "Oh no, they are Taldan relics, there's no way they are related to the Kami!" He switches back to his normal tone of voice. "Bunch of horse . . . . excrement."

"Wait, what thief and what relic? We were told the relics were all but useless, museum stuff only, not much use to anyone, and not much money either."

"JUST SPEAK ALREADY!" Kondai bellows. "Does anyone know what the floating thing, this . . . kami is trying to tell us?"

"Oh please, what you are describing as a Poracha. Native to these parts. Even I know that and I'm from Numeria. Old men argue if they are technically 'kami' or not, but the old fools can't make up their mind. The big thing is that they can duplicate my shadow step, meaning they can teleport short distances."

Kondai folds his arms and leans against a tree, not really paying attention to the conversation.

Did someone medicine is from our last combat?”

The creature is presumably too small for him to kick. <>Cast Shield

"What fresh batch of insipidness is this?" Kondai will say, rolling his eyes. Nevertheless he'll <>Cast Shield, <>Enter Arcane Cascade, and see if he can Identify any of the creatures he can see.

GM can choose a creature for me to concentrate on my skills are updated on the tracker or in my character bio. I honestly don't know which one is which so just flip a coin or whatever.

Denied Access to the battle map

Kondai, are you supposed to be level 3?

Ah, yes, sorry, didn't update my information at the top of the page.
