I like the concept, but Lagrin hasn't been my easiest character to get into. I'm okay either way.
"Sounds like a crew we can take by surprise."
"Well, I think we can spring a fine trap on 'em. Take their witch out and stop this raiding. They should be on the direct path between here and Cessport?"
Grin shrugs and looks to his companions, then back at the burly man. "Well, yer...leadership, we can take on just about whatever the sea can throw at us. Fought off a plague o' sagaugin leagues past, and afore that we took down and locked up the Blood Queen. I reckon any pirates be botherin' you, we can take them on too. Now, anythin' in it fer us, other'n yer everylastin' frien'ship?"
Grin narrows his eyes at the Sahuagin who hit him and squawks out "That hurt, friend. Hope this does too."
He whistles at Barret then and sends the gator to help out Shad.
Grin hacks at the Sahaugin menacing Biligup, stepping up if he needs to.
As his swing goes wide, he whistles at Barret and gestures at the fish-man attacking Heskavar, sending the gator that way.
Round 1
Round 2
"What do you think, Shad, any chance they'd talk to us? Otherwise, yeah, let's get this over with."
I'm very excited about that!
Grin will throw the blood queen over his shoulder and bring her on deck. "Got a high profile prisoner here, yer Highness. Can anyone keep her from bleeding out?"
Leveled up, didn't add too much. Outflank for Grin and Barret both. I'm all for taking her prisoner.
Grin sheathes his sword on his back. "Can always use skilled sailors. Especially with a whole new ship to crew." He rolls the Blood Queen over unceremoniously with his foot and tries to determine if she's still alive.
He grunts noncommittally.
That puts us at level 2, correct? Which xp track are we on?
Grin finishes casting and an eagle appears next to the queen and the smuggler. It attacks the smuggler!
Then Grin moves in, sidestepping past Heskavar and taking a swing at the queen.
I'll be out thurs-sun and I believe I'll have limited posting ability, please bot me as necessary. Currently casting Summon Nature's Ally with intent to have an angry eagle mess up the blood queen or another pirate, after that if there's access he'll wade in with Barrett and start swinging his sword.
Grin takes a step forward and begins to cast a full-round spell.
"Well if we got potions t'spare, I spose I'll give one to Barrett before we crack that door down."
"Alright, let's get going then." Grin will prepare to open the door once everyone is ready.
Grin skids to a stop and stays his swing as the remaining pirates surrender. "Come to your senses now, have ya? Good." Seeing them well in hand, he'll return to the top deck.
Grin will double move towards pirates, Barrett following behind.
"Kinda nice to be on the other side of this, innit? Nice hit." Grin trots past Myrsko, responding to his fellow former pirate, and then he swings at the surrounded soon-to-be-former-pirate.
The injured Barrett follows along dutifully behind, grumbling all the way.
Grin swings at the priest, letting the injured alligator hang out behind him.
Grin double moves, commanding Barret to follow.
Barret does, but he grumbles about it.
@Oxnard, if you don't mind giving us a peek behind the curtain, is this type of combat intended to be representative of this campaign as a whole, or is it just a big kickoff to introduce things and hopefully kick us up to level 2 before we continue? It's been a slog so far. I can probably count on one hand the number of fights I've had in pathfinder that have reached double-digit rounds in about a decade of playing, and I think most of those were against Runelords where we've had a ton of resources to get us through. This has been probably twice as many rounds as the next longest, and level 1 resources aren't exactly generous, although the drops have helped.
Grin steps over and orders Barrett to step into a flanking position.
Work has been crazy and election stress has affected my posting too. Work should hopefully calm down after a week or two.
Grin steps up to support Billigup and strikes, commanding Barret to follow suit.
Grin double-mpves out of the hold to help back up on deck, urging Barrett to join him.
Grin takes a swing at the guy he's flanking, and he whistles at Barret to attack as well.
Grin swings again.
Grin strikes out alongside Ganymeades, hoping to drop this pirate.
Grin swings at the priest and steps over toward the stairs.
Then he steps up over the growing pile of casualties and strikes.
Grin swings at the officer south of him while Barret bites at Officer Red.
Then Grin takes a step back.
Grin moves into the hold, his gator friend trundling along behind him. He strikes out at one of the pirates he encounters and squawks the attack signal to get Barret to follow suit.
Grin double moves to back up his teammates who went into the hold.
Grin sticks with Heskavar, Barret following dutifully behind, and he readies to attack any pirates who get close.
I think the difference is because as-written, Skinwalkers choose between the listed abilities each time they change, so the amphibious keyword ability overlaps the swim speed ability. Change Shape (Su) A skinwalker can change shape to a bestial form as a standard action. In bestial form, a skinwalker gains a +2 racial bonus to his choice of Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. While in this form, a skinwalker also takes on an animalistic feature that provides a special effect. Each time a skinwalker assumes bestial form, he can choose to gain two claw attacks that each deal 1d4 points of damage, 60 foot darkvision, or a +1 natural armor bonus. These benefits last until the skinwalker returns to his humanoid form as a swift action. A skinwalker must first return to his humanoid form before changing to bestial form again to change benefits. Having to choose between breathing and moving is a pretty poopy choice, but it kinda puts them at a mid-point between the landlubbers and the aquatic races, with the spells and equipment the non-aquatic races can use to adapt.
Grin double moves to menace the last remaining enemy, letting out a sharp whistle to instruct Barret to follow him. To the pirate, he says, "Do you just want to end up like the rest of your mates?"
The two strike ineffectually and the bruiser gets away!
Grin once again hoots at Barret to flank with him, waiting for the alligator to do so before he swings.
Grin turns to his new opponent, Nodachi in hand, and strikes again. As he does so, he insistently clicks at his injured companion to attack as well.
Grin steps over and strikes, hooting at Barret to move into a flank.
Injured and ornery, Barret ignores Grin but keeps on doing what he was doing, striking out at the pirate who injured him.
Grin steps up to attack the spotter who brought down Markus, clicking at Barret to follow his lead and attack as well.
....both of them furiously eviscerating the air around their target.
Grin and Barrett attack yellow again, hoping to lay him low so they can move on to help the others.
Grin moves to help Markus out with the big guy in yellow and takes a swing with his sword, clicking at Barret to follow and attack.
