Do dead grippli babies count? I was willing to pay for an atonement after that scenario.....

"Those are my clansmen you're talking about! I was away on a hunting trip when the evil came and killed them all. Some Pathfinders helped stop the evil, and I had no reason to stay when I returned and found my village all dead, so I decided to follow the Pathfinders to their city and join them."

Thanks for the game. Sorry I missed the end. Busy at Gen Con.

Kubbup applies his last two doses of daily poison to two more arrows before we head back into the caves, just in case we run into any more trouble.

Kubbup tells Janira, "Yes, we met a gillman. There was quite a bit of interest in the cave. We took good notes as a group, though I mostly took guard duty, while the others wrote things down."

I could go either way on continuing. I wasn't planning to play Kubbup at Gen Con, because I figured we wouldn't be done by then, and I have other low level PCs I can play instead. But if we quit now, I can level him up to 2nd and have one more option to bring with me when I play the first season 9 scenario (which is tier 1-5).

"Glad to see that you got away alive", Kubbup tells Janira when she lands next to him on this side of the stream.

He moves right up to the edge of the stream, putting him within point blank range of the minotaur, and sends his second poisoned arrow flying towards the enemy.

attack, inspire courage, point blank shot, trait bonus: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 15
shirt reroll, 3 GM stars: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 26
HP damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7
Dex damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Again, if I hit, then it gets a DC 13 Fort save to resist the poison and avoid the dex damage.

Kubbup remembers his poison arrows that he forgot about when he instinctively drew and fired at the minotaur last time. He moves forward again, but this time, he shoots a poison arrow at the beast.

attack, inspire courage, trait bonus: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 20
HP damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6
Dex damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

If I hit, then it gets a DC 13 Fort save to resist the poison and avoid the dex damage.

Also, if you have to bot me later, remember that I get a +1 to hit with poisoned weapons (trait bonus from Poisonous Slayer trait).

[ooc]I think our dice are trying to get Janira killed. You'd think a pair of archers would be good for this encounter, but if we keep missing, it probably won't see us as a threat.[/ooc[

I'll be leaving for Gen Con on Wednesday morning, and not coming home until Monday, so I don't know how often I'll be able to post. And I'll be posting from a phone, so I probably won't be able to see maps or anything like that.

If you want to bot me, go ahead - Kubbup just fires arrows a lot, as you've seen. Actually, I forgot to use my poison arrow in my first shot against the minotaur, so my next two shots will use the arrows that I put the poison on earlier. Assuming we win this fight, I'll put poison on two more arrows (my last two doses of the day) before we head back in to finish exploring the rest of the cave system, and use them against any enemies that don't look like oozes, plants, swarms, or undead.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!!!" the little frog man yells, seeing that Janira is nearly beaten, and trying to get the minotaur's attention.

He then moves closer and lets an arrow fly at the beast.

attack, inspire courage: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Kubbup launches another arrow towards the creature.

attack, point blank, inspire courage, cover: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9

Kubbup moves up closer and fires an arrow at the plant creature.

attack, point blank, inspire courage, cover: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7

knowledge nature or dungeoneering (same bonus either way): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Kubbup doesn't recognize the toadstools. They must not be from real toads.

Kubbup follows Alic wordlessly, longbow in hand.

Kubbup sheathes his warhammer and pulls his bow back out. He observes the others silently. Once Alic finds the secret passage, Kubbup will guard that passage to prevent anything else from surprising the group until we're ready to move on.

Since there's such a crowd blocking him from shooting, Kubbup will move up to the front line, drawing his silver warhammer on the way, then swings at the enemy. Move through Amethyst's square to get there, so I shouldn't provoke.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Does the corner provide any cover? If it does, then subtract that from my roll.

"Well, that's not natural."

Seeing no meat on their bones, Kubbup assumes that poison won't work on them, so he fires a non-poison arrow at the one in front (red).

attack, point blank shot: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 = 12
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

"Well, one of the images was a beggar. I will leave a coin to be respectful."

Kubbup goes up to the city and examines it, leaves a gold piece, and then prepares to leave the area to go see who or what else is around.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Kubbup strains to listen for any sign of the "others" Uori mentioned.

"Others in these caves? Who? And how do you hear if you're deaf?" he asks, probably seeming more confrontational than he intended.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
sense motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

"We found this cloak in the passage back there", the frog man gestures. "It looks similar to yours. Did this perhaps belong to another gillman who came through here?"

diplomacy: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (10) - 2 = 8

I'm assuming that after we examined the cloth (was there anything interesting about it?), we'd have stowed it in someone's pack.

Kubbup always has his bow drawn. As the others approach the gillman, he watches intently, ready to draw an arrow and fight at a moment's notice.

Kubbup also follows the group and watches more than participates as the others explain the artwork.

"Who is this Aroden? A god? Is he related to gillmen and full moons? Perhaps that is why they come to this place every month?" he asks quietly.

Mostly, he keeps guard, longbow drawn, in case of trouble from deeper in the caves.

"I don't think such skills can be taught. All grippli can stick to walls better than most other humanoids. It is a racial trait."

He looks across the pit to the other side. "I guess my mule will have to stay behind. I don't think I need any of those supplies right now, anyway. I'm sure we'll be back for it once we've explored the caves."

Kubbup opens up the cloth retrieved from the water to examine it.

Also, before heading deeper into the caves, Kubbup will create two uses of his daily poison (from the Poison Darter archetype) and apply them to two of his arrows. He makes sure to put those two arrows to one side in his quiver, so he can choose to reach for poisoned or unpoisoned arrows as appropriate if combat breaks out. The poison will be good for one hour.

"No need to swim, I can climb along the walls."

The little frog man demonstrates, literally clinging to the walls with his hands and feet, as some frog species can do.

survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

"This pit looks artificial. Perhaps a trap of some sort?"

Kubbup ties one end of a rope around his waist, and anchors the to the ground somehow on the side with the party. He climbs down to the water level, and tries to reach the cloth in the water from where he is. Assuming he can get it, he then climbs up to the other side of the pit, so his rope is spanning the distance, and can be used by the other party members. He'll then anchor it on this side.

knowledge nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Kubbup watches the others to see how they'll respond to Janira's instructions. Seeing them heading for the cave, he backs slowly into it, as well, readying an arrow and eyeing the minotaur the whole time. Once the others are all inside, he follows.

I hit with an 11 total? I figured they were wimpy, but I didn't think they were THAT wimpy. LOL

Kubbup carefully folds up his net and stows it. As the group continues marching, he cleans the flea guts off his dagger and puts that back in its sheathe.

When Janira tells us that we'll have to search for another path, the little frog man pulls a mapmaking kit out if his mule's saddle pack, and makes some notes as he tries to find the best way to go.

Survival: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 = 19

Kubbup draws his dagger and steps forward to attack the entangled flea with the edge of the blade.

attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11
damage: 1d3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

On the way out, Kubbup seems quite at ease in the natural surroundings. He has his longbow in hand the whole time, occasionally leaning on it as a walking stick. He watches the others curiously, especially Zilona, but doesn't say much, unless discussion turns to their natural surroundings. In those times, he'll point out features of nature, accurately identifying many of the plants and animals we pass along the way.

knowledge nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Heeding the others, and not having any sort of bladed arrows for his bow, Kubbup moves closer, hoping to make himself a target for the purple one. As he moves, he draws a net, then readies to throw it at any flea that comes within 10 feet of him.

throw net vs touch AC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 = 22

The grippli observes the others, but doesn't say much. After hearing the mission, and the others talking about it, he finally speaks up.

"I'll be glad to be out in the wilderness again. I don't like being stuck in a city like this. I don't know the geography of this island, but I know nature, so I'm sure I can help with exploring. And fighting any hazardous animals or other enemies we run across."

He gestures to his bow as he says this last part.

And yes, I have a boon that lets me play a grippli. Just so you know, I have two weird archetypes.

Skirmisher is from Advanced Players Guide and completely gives up ranger magic for hunter tricks, so I'll never get a caster level, and can't even use wands of spells normally on the ranger list. Other than that, it doesn't affect anything until level 5.

Poison Darter is from Blood of the Beast. At level 1, all you need to know is that it gives up favored enemies for some free poison, which kinda sucks at this level. The save DC scales with level and wisdom increases, and it can sicken enemies at level 5, so that's the level when both archetypes become worthwhile.

A frog-like creature enters the Pig's Paunch tavern, walking around on two legs, but still slightly shorter than any adult halfling. He's wearing light armor, with a halfling sized longbow and quiver strapped to his back, and a warhammer and dagger sheathed on his belt.

"Is it ok to tie my mule to the post outside?" he asks aloud, addressing nobody in particular. "I'm not sure how things are typically done in a big city like this."
