Kurasu's page

Most of the times you get a Fortitude Save after 24 hours or the negative level becomes permanent. It's just a guess though, we'll have to see...

After defeating the woman Kurasu sprouts huge black raven wings from his back. Encouraged by the cheering of the crowd the Tengu would try to put on a show, celebrating their victory. Interweaving Loopings with some of his own characteristic dance moves inspired by the flow of the wind.

Fly Check: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Performance Dance: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

Pretty self-satisfied with his performance he glides down to the bottom of the arena in wide circles.

"By Hei Feng!" the Tengu shousd as he spotts his companion Radrick. "I didn't know you got hit this badly, the wounds did look like superficial scratches to me at first... Was that kukri enhanced by magic?" , Kurasu checks on Radrick.

"Well those wounds certainly did more damage than they should have done." the Tengu frowns, " Here let me help you with my mending powers... though I do not think, I have the capabilities to deal with the loss of your life energy right away, I should be able to heal you if I pray to my god to give me the means to do so, if it doesn't get better by tomorrow I'll look into it."

Cure Critical Wounds: 4d8 + 11 ⇒ (7, 8, 2, 7) + 11 = 35

Cure Critical Wounds: 4d8 + 11 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 8) + 11 = 28

Loosing debilitating portent and freedom of movement

In the direction of Sol the Tengu squawks " You did pretty good up there my scaly friend. Are you in need of patching up too?"

"Well done, if I might say so myself. I think we all did a good chunk of work today. Considering we did pretty well in both of those fights I'd say celebrations are in order!" , the Tengu smiles smug at his two companions. "So what are we gonna do tonight? Wash down the dirt and blood of the arena with some good old sake and tales of our heroic battles? My treat!"

Radrick doesn't seem to be on the good side for the concealment... sadly I have no Dispel Magic prepared for today..

Hello :D Welcome aboard

Ok, time to shine! , the Tengu sets his plan into motion.

Standard Action to activate shoes of lightning leaping (moving to V10 ), Swift Action to make a performance combat check for producing a visible energy effect, 5-foot step to U11 (moving in flanking position to Radrick )

Performance Combat: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Kurasu transforms into a flash of lightning as he jumps into the air, landing next to his opponent he ends his jump with an artful flourish.

Np Happy Holidays!

Well, the shuriken are not going to work with that blurry spell in effect I can hardly see her , the Tengu looks towards the sky. Seeming to be deep in thought for a second.

Alright that's gotta do the trick. If not it will at least give us a few points with the crowd... I just need a few seconds to set this up. Kurasu looks for his pendant and smiles gleefully in anticipation of a flashy surprise.

Move Action draw Nine-Ring Broadsword, Standard Action activate Stormlure

A strong winds starts swirling around the smiling Tengu stirring up his feathers in a wild display after he utters his command word for his stormlure in the language of his people. Kurasu enjoys the wind blowing through his plumage and hopes to have a clear line to lightning jump next to his enemy when the opportunity arises.

I figured I am next in the initiative order so I'll get a post up to speed things up

After taking a look upwards, seeing his enemy blink in and out of existence, Kurasu hopes for a lucky hit as he unleashes a flurry of shuriken.

Swift Action use 1 Ki for an additional Attack, using fullround action to flurry with shuriken into the 3rd range increment to attack Vanyavesha

Ranged to hit fullround flurry with KI into melee (-4), into 3rd range (-4), with divine favor (+3) => +3/+3/+3/-2/-2. Damage 1d2+14 (+3 Divine Favor, +5 blessing of destruction) is non-magic piercing damage. If she should go unconscious I will stop the attack.

KI Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d2 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

First Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d2 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Second Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d2 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Third Attack: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Damage: 1d2 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Performance Combat Check to not loose favor of the crowd: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Fourth Attack: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4
Damage: 1d2 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Yeah I figured xD I didn't want to stress you more than necessary by mentioning the initiative over and over again.

No I would have done the same things.

Kurasu sprints towards one of the ladders and starts climbing it up to the first level.

Using 1 Ki Point in a swift action to gain +20ft speed, move action to B7, standard action climb to L6 if possible

Climb: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

If I do succeed in the climb check, is it possible for me to see Ganyavesha from my point or is she too high up?

In the center of the arena stand three towershaped scaffolds constructed of wood and metal. Tangles of rope ladders connect two fighting platforms, one 20 feet above the ground and the other 40 feet above it. Both levels of the towers are identical and utilize the same map.

@Nandita I think that's what you are looking for :D

Awesome!

@Nandita remember flying will disqualify our team in this challenge.

Buffs and their remaining duration at round 11 =>

After the emissary explains the rules of the tournament Kurasu states to his companions, "Since we were granted some time to prepare I would advise you to stay close to me during the preparation so I can distribute my deity's blessings among you."

Is it possible that you made a mistake in placing me last in the initiative order or did I miss something.

Sure no problem :D

Kuarsu channels more energy form his deity into himself surrounding him with a barrier of swirling winds. After this he jumps down the cliff and floats slowly down to one of the boats.

Using Major Blessing of Wind (Windbarrier) which surrounds him with a wall of winds and grants him the benefit of feather fall for 1min.

After returning his slippers the Tengu would ask if any of his friends are in need of healing.

Healing Radrick, loosing 1 Lesser Restoration for Cure Spells

Moderate Cure Wounds: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 7) + 10 = 21

Then Kurasu mumbles a few disgruntled sounds and follows his companions towards the Grand Pavillon.

Kurasu utters a short prayer to Hei Feng, then he moves the cliff upwards and towards the last standing foes, placing himself in an ideal flanking position. He pauses for a moment to concentrate and channels the destructive energies of his Deity in preparation for his next move.

Blessing of Fervor: increased speed by 30ft / Swift Action; uses a point of fervor to cast Divine Favor on himself / Move Action: moves to E 20 / Standard Action: activates Warpriest Blessing of Destruction Destructive Attacks on himself

No problem. Yeah, 5 ft step to G12 if that is ok for you.

My current Ac is 22
EDIT: never mind. You meant Radrick

If I am not able to cast with one free hand I will crawl to G12, possibly provoking an attack of opportunity

Not trying to go into a detailed discussion here and if that's the way it's in this campaign it is fine by me, I am just speaking my mind here since I have my Core Rulebook at home right now.

Needing two hands to cast a spell that has a Divine Focus/Material Component would mean that clerics can not cast most spells when grappled since you can't perform actions that need two hands to accomplish.

PRD -> Glossary:
"In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler's CMB + spell level), or lose the spell."
"A pinned creature can take verbal and mental actions, but cannot cast any spells that require a somatic or material component. A pinned character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler's CMB + spell level) or lose the spell."

Also it would nerf clerics severely since he would have to drop anything they are holding every time they casts a spell without Eschew Material or Still Spell. Same goes for Magus which is practically unplayable without one of the two feats then. Also Level 1 wizards would have to drop their crossbow every time they want to cast a spell with a material component.

Damn I forgot it's possible to substitute combat maneuvers for AoO. Well let's try again then.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Gladly Kurasu was able to cling to the cliff wall once more. In a pinch he tries to cast a spell.

Standard action to cast Blessing of Fervor on himself and his allies. As far as I know having one hand free does suffice to fulfill the somatic requirements of a spell, correct me if I am wrong.

Not casting defensibly, provoking another attack of opportunity from the monk if he does have one.

Concentration Check in Case of Receiving Damage While Casting: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

Damn, that could have been a short show for me, Kuarsu thinks as he dangles off the cliff.

The tengu pulls himself up, hoping this to be a graceful looking maneuver. Afterwards he makes a step downwards the cliff wall and starts casting.

Standing up in a move action (provoking AoO from the monk) // five-foot step to G12 // standard action casting Blessing of Fervor on his companions and himself // swift action assuming crane stance

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

I guess that means I am prone now

" Of course we go, a place called Wall of the Seven Winds must be a magnificent view." , Kurasu answers overjoyed at the thought of a windy cliff. He utters a small prayer to Hei Feng, hoping for good winds for his team.

@Death with full Bab and Two Weapon Fighting (light weapons) Full-Round at Lvl 11 would be +9/+9/+4/-1

With Improved TWF +9/+9/+4/+4/-1

With Greater TWF +9/+9/+4/+4/-1/-1

That is without any Bonuses

Hope that helps ;)

Radrick and I do have Outflank. That's pretty much it for Teamwork feats.

We do not know each other outside of this game, at least I do not. Our characters do know each other since shortly before the tournament where they decided to form a team.

Hi :D

Currently we have Sol as Dragon Disciple who is going for a Dmg/Tank mix, Radrick our Monk is purely going for combat maneuvers, I went for Warpriest to be able to do something in combat besides healing and buffing the party. Our party member that your about to fill in for was going for a Gunslinger/Cavalier DPS build.

Maybe some damage would be nice, but about anything will be a fit in my opinion.

EDIT: We do not really have a party face to be honest, however this is a martial tournament and we haven't had a need for heavy socializing yet. But maybe there will be soon? I don't know honestly ^^

Healing Radrick with Lesser Restoration , spontaneously casting Cure Spells sacrificing Shield of Faith and Obscuring Mists

Lesser Restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 4 CON Damage removed

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 HP restored

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 HP restored

"Ok. The mountain will have to wait until we have more free time on our hands or the tournament is over, otherwise we might be late for our scheduled match." Kurasu realizes as he estimates the time it would take to reach the mountain top.

"You seem pretty interested about this dragon rumor that is going around. Let's see if we can find out something about that together." , the Tengu accompanies Radrick in exploring the area and asking around about the dragon.

Gather Information: 1d20 ⇒ 16

With a big yawn Kurasu awakes as the sun tickles his beak.

"Good Morning!" , he greets his comrades, still yawning and stretching.

After a quick morning wash, the Tengu meditates in a quiet manner, while whispering the names of the winds over those Xei Feng rules.
Grateful that his Deity chose to bestow upon him a fraction of divine might he ends his meditation by casting a few marked bones on the ground, hoping that Xei Feng will reveal to him the ways of the winds for the next coming days.

Preparing Spells

Casting Read Weather

Now full of enthusiasm to make a lasting impression in today's tournament fights he askes his friends, should they still be around;
"So did you guys have a pleasant night? Is anyone suffering some after effects from yesterdays fights or any scratches or wounds unattended? If so, let me know and I will take care of it, so we can start today in prime fighting condition!

If anyone has HP or leftover CON Damage that was not cured from resting let me know, I can help out with 3 lesser restorations and healing.

While the Tengu is taking a look at Radrick to see if the monk has to deal with any aftermath of his injuries, he enhances the protective properties of Radricks and his own clothing.

Kurasu casts Magic Vestment twice, on his own and Radricks monk robes.

"As far as I know an archery competition will start soon... Not my cup of tea though. I would much rather explore the island. The top of the mountain peakes my interest especially. Does anyone of you want to join me on a little hike up there?" , Kurasu states in hope of experiencing an astonishing view from atop the mountain as well as the feeling of wind brushing through his feathers. Thinking that the top of the mountain will be the part of the island with the fiercest winds he was sure that up there his bond with his deity would be strongest.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Fortitude: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

EDIT; I have Miraculous Fortitude which is essentially Improved Evasion for Fort Saves. Maybe that is crucial for describing the results of the throws, if not I will deal with it on my behalf.

Maybe some religious or cultural practice I am not familiar with... a lot of different people from far away parts of Golarion have gathered here after all, some of them are expected to have strange habits... the Tengu thought to himself and wouldn't think much about it afterwards.

If nothing more happens Kurasu would like to head home and get some rest after his desire for conversation is sated.

@radrick If its about dragons I think remove fear, protection/resist energy is a good bet.

Well I had a scroll of remove fear handy xD however if I am the one that gets save-or-sucked as well, there is not much I can do.

I got scrolls of: remove fear/ paralysis/ blindness/ curse/ disease with me. I hope that we wont need them too often, since I only got 1 each, but better to be prepared than dead ^^ usually I have 1 Freedom of Movement prepared, because I can swift-cast it on myself if I get grappled, paralyzed.

I could take Bless/Prayer if u'd like that's not a big buffs but it helps.

Any spells you had in mind? Mind you my max spelllvl is 4 right now, so I sadly can't take Breath of Life or Raise Dead yet.

BTW remember we got LOOT

We got awarded a Luck-Stone and a Potion of Stone Skin. Who would like to have those?

Luck Boni aren't too good on me because I can cast Divine Favor which is a Luck Boni too. So I'll pass on the Stone.

I think either Sol or Radrick could get use out of the potion of Stone Skin, DR10 makes one incredibly tanky. In character I would vote to give the potion to Radrick, due to holding the beast off for so long. A fitting prize in my humble opinion, because next time you will not go down with that potion handy xD

What do you guys think?

Kurasu enters the noodle house, not too keen to boast about their victory over the undead beast, since he was hardly of any use in that fight. However they did win and were able to qualify for the next round, which was quite a feat in itself he kept telling himself.

His companion Radrick was not in the mood to celebrate, which was to be expected.

The festivities will have to wait for another day then... Maybe I can still have a light hearted chat before I'll head to bed ; the Tengu thought to himself.

After getting himself a bowl of soup and a refreshing drink his eyes wander around the noodle house, searching for the group they defeated today, wondering if they did depart or stay to view the rest of the tournament.

Kurasu is looking for the tiefling woman from the opposing group, wanting to converse and clink glasses in honor of a battle well fought, also interested in the magic the tiefling was able to wield.

If he isn't able to see her after a quick look through the place, the Tengu would like to take seat next to someone of a demi-human race (catfolk, lizardfolk, ratfolk,e.g.), hoping to learn a thing or two about their culture and preferably their artistry and poetry during conversation.

@Radrick yeah I will prepare some more Lesser Restoration Spells for the next day, also I will use my left over spells for healing before we go to sleep.

The moment Kurasu's mind clears of the magical terror that has struck him for the past minutes he catches a glimpse of his fallen comrade being carried away by the monks.

He flaps his wings as fast as he can to cover the distance, hoping to treat Radrick's wounds.

Landing next to Radrick, the worried Tengu insists on healing his unconscious friend.

Cure Medium Wounds: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (5, 2) + 10 = 17

Cure Medium Wounds: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 1) + 10 = 13

Cure Medium Wounds: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 1) + 10 = 13

Cure Medium Wounds: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 4) + 10 = 16

Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 11 ⇒ (7, 3, 7) + 11 = 28

Using; delay poison, communal protection from law, resist energy (2), communal resist energy; to spontaneously cast Cure Spells

"I am dearly sorry... Never have I felt such terror in my life before. My body just wouldn't obey me." the Tengu uttered apologetic as he heals Radricks wounds. " You are truly a battle hardened man if you were able to stand before such a monstrosity. I think a celebration is in order, for you and Sol have beaten the terrible creature at last."

Afterwards Kurasu asks Danh and Sol if they are in need of healing as well and congratulates Sol for his killing blow that brought the undead monstrosity to it's knees.

Sry Radrick, but I think I have flapped my wings and am off and away xD dunno how high the force barrier extends.

Woah thats awesome! Congratulations!!!

?

xD lmao

Kurasu is so intimidated by the creature that he seeks a way to gain yet more distance from the monstrosity, his gaze shifts upwards as he grows a pair of giant black raven wings. Trying to get as far out of harms way as possible he takes to the skies.

Standard Action sprout Tengu Wings , Move Action gain as much distance as possible moving southwards and upwards along the barrier, since a start straight up is not likely to succeed.

Is that set of actions acceptable? I have no spells prepared that might be useful for escape.

Fair Enough.

I thought I had missed something.

Im confused, do I get the 1 CON Damage despite my miraculous fortitude? Or did I fail the save?

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 (-2 due to panicked included)

Kurasu has Miraculous Fortitude meaning he takes the lesser effect if he fails the save and ignores the Con Damage completely if he should succeed.

Radrick sees/hears the others turn and run. Knowing what had happened he tries for a little levity.... "I said spread out, not run away. I can't fight this behemoth myself!"

I had a good laugh due to the comicalness of the situation and your comment XD

Well I am a warpriest, I don't have Raise Dead yet :/

Maybe the Oni does something like Hold Undead when the Situation gets out of control, I suppose they don't want to see their combatants dead to an exhibition match, but that is just a hopeful thought... so I guess you have to come up with something. Good Luck ;D

Oh sry, I did think the area for the dim light and the fear aura were the same. My bad.

Will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Well, ignore my last post then.

Kurasu notices the Nagaji flee in terror. Knowing they will need their scaled teammate in order to stand a chance the Tengu retrieves a scroll from his belt pouch and activates it.

Move action to grab scroll of "Remove Fear", Standard action to use scroll on Sol, supressing the fear effect for 10min

Afterwards he assumes a defensive fighting stance, changing his position slightly.

Swift action to activate Crane Style, 5ft step to D4

EDIT I forgot to write this in the initial post, but I think I also grant Sol a +4 morale bonus on saves vs fear effect for the duration of the spell.

Yep, picking up an item and standing up are both a move action of their own that usually provoke AoO. Unless this undead monster has some fancy feats/abilities.

EDIT Luckily I have a scroll of "remove fear" handy, hopefully I'll be able to get Sol back into action with that.

[...] He steps forward and does an elaborate dance with his pair of Kama, pretending to trip phantom enemy while calling out at times matching particular strikes. [...]

I guess he used his kamas? But monks can use their unarmed strikes even when armed with weapons... so I am not certain.

Kurasu uses his Blessing; "Destructive Attacks" (granting +5 morale bonus on weapon damage rolls for 1min) on Danh. Then the Tengu moves to Sols side, planning to bless the Nagaji next. E4

He utters a short prayer to Heif Feng for protection. (Using 1 point of his fervor to cast Shield of Faith upon himself in a swift action granting him +3 deflection bonus)
