Not sure. Are we done? What remains to do?

Li is no scholar, but tries to add what he knows.

Knowledge (Planes) aid another: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Will Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Li Shuo trains an arrow on the spot between the man's shoulder blades, but waits to see what happens.

Happy Anniversary!

Satisfied that duty has been served, Li Shuo gives a small bow to Tain Dan and simply turns and proceeds further into the forest.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

"The blight has caused some mental impairment that prevents their seeing the obvious," says Li Shuo.

After some thought he continues. "We should send them back to the fort before moving on to find the cause of the affliction."

Are the Masks still around?

BOOOOON!: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Reflex save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Li steps to the side, not leaving the blightfire, but firing incessantly

Start with Yellow and work my way to the east. Perfect Strike on the first shot.

Else, miss.

Poke.

Li continues to hustle forward.

Li hustles forward to join the group.

Is it the bottom map? #5?

Ping.

Assume you are shooting at Riko?

Yes. :-)

Li Shuo fires three shots without hesitation.

Spend 1 ki for ki flurry.
Use Perfect Strike on the first shot

The Jade Dragon Bow - Ranged Flurry, 1st shot (1st roll), with Point-Blank Shot and Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 - 1 = 23

If 21<AC<24, then 23 points of nonlethal damage.
If 23<AC, then 11 points of nonlethal damage.

Li Shuo sends a single arrow slicing through the air to embed in a tree not far from Riko.

"Lieutenant Riko," he says. "You must stop this evil work at once. Talk to us. We do not wish to fight you. There is a blight in your heart as in those trees. Use your mind to know what your heart will not tell you. All is not right here."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

Li Shuo: You need to roll to try to confirm that threat.

Sadly, no. When you use Perfect Strike and score a threat, you use the lower roll as your confirmation roll.

Li Shuo accepts the unfortunate need to kill the animal and rapidly fires several arrows at it, calmly envisioning the location of each hit before drawing the arrow from the quiver.

Use ki flurry to gain an extra attack.
Use Perfect Strike on the first arrow.

The Jade Dragon Bow - Ranged Flurry, 1st shot, 1st roll, with Point-Blank Shot: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 = 13

Else, 13 nonlethal damage.

We take all of it. Anything not claimed gets shoved into a backpack!

"I am ready," says Li Shuo. He'll lead the way, watching out for trouble.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Li Shuo tags along with Stugbu and helps out.

"There is no challenge without," says the monk. "The only challenge is within. Irori teaches that perfection lies within each of us. But perceive your goal and it is already accomplished, with but the doing remaining. There is nothing that ten thousand can accomplish that cannot be done by one hundred. So rise up, men of the fort, and take heart. See your victory and know that it is already accomplished!"

Perform (Oratory): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

"A pleasure to meet a resilient soul, Scout Yuto," says Li Shuo in Tien. "I am Li Shuo, a monk of Quain. Why has the departure of the troops made the rest of the garrison so somber?"

Li Shuo quietly observes the troops and camp, seeking the cause of their malaise.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Congratulations, Chak chak!

GM NotEspi, you have to manually put Stugbu back as an active player.

For the same reason, Li isn’t using Perfect Strike or Ki Strike. He’s much better than he’ll demonstrate at this stage.

Li Shuo fires a pair of arrows in rapid succession.

The Jade Dragon Bow - Ranged Flurry, 1st shot, with Point-Blank Shot: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 = 20
Non-Lethal Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + (3) = 15

The Jade Dragon Bow - Ranged Flurry, 2nd shot, with Point-Blank Shot: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 1 = 21
Non-Lethal Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + (1) = 10

I’m with Stugbu on this. I’d rather not go elsewhere.

A solid-looking Tien archer politely greets the officers and soldiers of the Twenty-Four masks in his native tongue, revealing through his accent his origins in Quain.

"I thank you for the loan of the horse," he says. Not being a trained rider, he watches closely as others mount up and does so with the best grace he can manage.

Okee-dokee. I think we're ready to roll.

After more than a month, I've finally gotten Internet access again. Seems as though the site's been down most of that time, so not much loss there.

On the other hand, I'm leaving on Monday the 3rd for a week at the beach with my kids and won't have any access out there, either. I'll try to catch up this weekend at the least.

Here is an update on my situation:

GOOD NEWS:
At long last my house has been wired for Internet and my service is on.

BAD NEWS:
My computer seems to have suffered total failure in the move, possibly from static discharge. So I now have no computer. If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have had no luck at all lately.

THE PLAN:
I have ordered a new motherboard and CPU from NewEgg. They should arrive tomorrow. I built the computer myself and so should be able to rebuild it. I hope to be up and running by the Monday the 27th, but see my previous comments on luck...

NOTE:
If this is a game I play in, I’m sorry for my absence. If this is a game I GM, I’m very sorry. If this is a game I’m supposed to be GMing but have not yet begun... it gets better.

Oy vey.

Let me tell you what's going on with me. First, I'm not dead nor fading away. However, after a week of illness and a week of reasonably ill vacationing, I'm now stranded without access to the Internet (I'm writing this from my mother's house, which is definitely not a long-term solution).

Then, the team of electricians who were going to wire my house were in an automobile accident and several were injured. So still no Internet.

Other electricians are coming to wire my house for the Internet and -hope- they can do it by next Friday.

Trying to stay connected by iPad has proved too difficult when I can summon at most 1 or 2 bars at my house. Thus, I'm just going to be offline for a bit. I'm sorry, but now you know why.

Introduction:
Name: Li-Shuo
Player: Tarondor (Scott Nolan)
PFS Number: 2405-7
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job (Perform (Oratory)): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

FYI - a combination of pneumonia and moving house means I'll be offline for most the week. And the week after that (if alive) I'll be at GenCon.

Out with maybe-pneumonia. Please bot as necessary.

Li Shuo Strength Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Li Shuo looks at Jacque and shrugs. He moves to lift a crate. "Where do you want them?"

I'm good where I am. However, if it's needed, I can bring a high-tier Magus instead of my low-tier Zen Archer.

"I can do the talking," says Li, thinking how odd it is - a few years ago he could barely make himself understood in Taldan.

"We should go to the warehouse posing as the guards and convince the warehouse workers to cooperate with a small donation."

Li isn't actually the greatest talker, but he is a marvelous judge of character and can usually intuit just the right things to say.

Diplomacy (Gather Information): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

After a few hours, Li knows what he needs to know.

"It seems The warehouse in question helps to stock shops in the Wise Quarter and Foreign Quarter, so it contains a wide variety of goods. Prospective clients visit often to rent out space or order shipments of goods, which often includes a tour of the facility."

"Lord Minovitas sent for a handful of Taldan guards to transport six flat crates from the warehouse, but they are yet to arrive at the guildhall. His lordship sent word that he intends to dispatch replacements soon to retrieve his possessions. We should be those replacements."

"Finally, I've learned that Business has been slow for the warehouse, and the owner is late in paying his employees’ wages—much to the workers’ chagrin. We can use that to our advantage."

Li frowns and bows to the ocean where Pathfinders have died. In a surprisingly deep and mournful voice he says:

"Sea recedes from beach
Tsunami out of nowhere
Too many deceased."

A pause, another bow. He is silent on the return.

Upon arriving onshore, Li insists on finding fresh water and ritually cleaning his face and hands, quietly blessing the kami of the water for helping him remain pure.

Sorry to hear it, Grynt!

Yes, Li is still in.

I've lost track of who's where. Can I get a sitrep?

Once more unto the breach!

Breathing deep, Li Shuo dives in again.

Locate Natulcien: 1d100 ⇒ 69

Grapple Natulcien: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 = 14

Um...okay!

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, Li Shuo flies underwater to the magus and again tries to free him from the grasp of the horrid devilfish!

Locate Magus: 1d100 ⇒ 47

Grapple Magus: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9

Sorry, nameless magus!

Well, I was going to go for the magus, but I'm nauseated, so...

Li Shuo rockets up out of the sea, shedding water and gasping for air, dry heaving as he goes, his face contorted with nausea and sorrow.

Swift Action: Judgment of Justice (+1 to attack rolls)

Locate Grynt (high is good): 1d100 ⇒ 52 Huzzah!

Grapple Grynt plus Judgment (1st roll): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18
Grapple Grynt plus Judgment (2nd roll): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8

Burn my folio re-roll on this.

Grapple Grynt plus Judgment (Reroll): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24

Li Shuo plummets into the water, seizing Grynt and attempting to snag him away from the devilfish!

Delay until after Etienne.

From his height above, Li signals Etienne that he is about to dive into the water.

The only healing I have is a wand of cure light wounds.

GM, okay if I poll the team?

So, Li Shuo is a master marksman in a fight where marksmanship is useless. About all I've got is the fact he can fly. I can dive down and try to grab Grynt, but my odds of success are low. But that's all I can come up with. Any suggestions?
