Feeling uncertain, Lizzo stretches out his claw to make contact with the eternity arch. Just before he touches it, a stream of energy arcs out towards him and he feels something jolt his mind.
Analyzing the situation, Lizzo realizes he can't make it to a Kyra this turn if he tries to stride. The uneven ground, and time dilation effect makes that impossible. Instead, he tries a Powerful Leap (15' max distance) to reach her in time.
Acrobatics:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18 he's more heroic than that
Hero Point Acrobatics:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
The lizard leaps across the uneven surface just within reach of another Kyra. Balancing precariously, he reaches down and tries to pull her to safety.
Thanks for clarifying the wall, and when slow takes effect. With that understood now, if Lizzo didn't attempt to climb the wall that isn't there ;) he would have 2 actions remaining.
Would it be ok to replay those two and attempt to pull up Kyra again, and would a balance check be required to stay in place?
Seeing a version of Kyra's hand appear from the rift near his feet, Lizzo reaches down to quickly pull her up.
Athletics:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Feeling her grip slipping he climbs down next to her with his last action. Gripping onto the wall with his sticky feet and climb speed, he offers Kyra a safe ride to the top on his back.
"Climb on board, I'll get you to safety." He offers to Kyra.
Lizzo accepts Dr. Lazarus's offer of a celebratory drink. He pulls out a few of the leftover grubs from his earlier meal, drops one into his mug, and offers the remaining handful for others to do the same.
"Thanks Doc. If you save the critter for the end, it'll be extra juicy. Can I take a look at that mighty hammer of yours? How does it fly so true?"
Raising his mug to the group, "Cheers to a well fought battle, did anyone even break a sweat?".
Then, he notices Gib slicing and stitching the rest of the party. Shrugging, he often overlooks that it's not possible for him to sweat. He lacks the proper glands.
Lizzo hears the hounds before he sees them. Watching one race forward and attack Astrid, he repositions for a better view of the action.
Now seeing hounds at both ends of the hallway, Lizzo focuses his fire on the bloodied one (3) and fires two arrows. Realizing he's out of actions, he braces for an attack from hound 2.
"Great team work! Those were formidable opponents, but clearly no match for a group like us. Bring on the hounds."
With the word of poisonous centipedes in the area, Lizzo downs his potion of antidote for 6 hours of extra protection.
As Gib applies his cut and sew techniques of healing, he pries a souvenir tooth from each to add to his dinosaur collection.
Then he takes a defensive position, makes sure his cloak is attuned to the environment, and sticks the first volley of arrows heads in the ground to his right.
Lizzo continues his barrage of arrows against the spiney one, firing as fast as he can. It can really take a beating, at least his arrows seem to penetrating the armor plating.
Lizzo, pressed against the wall, is not yet seen by the hound engaged with Astrid and Gib. After hearing the rally cry, he leans out and fires a pair of arrows just in time to see the power of Grabthar's hammer strike home on the other.
Already topped off, Lizzo uses the few minutes of down time to practice his limited arcane abilities. He casts produce flame, and tries to defrost his feet with the tiny ball of fire.
Hearing the new direction, Lizzo adjusts his cloak to match the wall color and heads off for a scan of the area's defenses.
Stealth:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25
He blends in nicely with the surroundings, and scampers up the wall to examine the defenses from up high.
Stealth:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
This extra height offers a unique perspective, and he locates a suitable sniper post.
”Transport the stasis pod, I think Astrid and I can be of use there.” Lizzo strikes a pose, to show off the sleek muscular structure of his Iruxi frame.
Athletics:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
He then proceeds to drop the pod on his toe, at least that part of his foot is still numb.
Lizzo graciously accepts a cup of warm tea along with several new bandages. As Gib turns to treat another, he gives a nod to Dr. Lazarus for a splash of his brandy.
Just as feeling begins to creep back into his toes, time starts playing its nasty tricks again. The reappearance of a dragon causes a double take, dribbling most of the hot tea down his chest.
Lizzo thanks the Doctor and Gib for their plentiful healing again. He's starting to collect a nice array of bandages. There's one with a unicorn on a rainbow, and one with exploding pink hearts and yellow stars, and one with.... oh my, they're starting to add up.
Continuing with his cautious probing of the rift via arrow head, he manages to keep in view the hilarious pantomime. He's pretty sure Gib is adding a few of his own eccentricities to the impression, but it seems to be doing the job.
I realized over the downtime that Lizzo's wounding rune is only valid on melee weapons, and illegal on his bow. Sorry I missed that earlier, although I may have caught it before he actually did any damage with it. :)
Rejuvenated, and full feeling in his feet again, Lizzo fills his belly with everything in sight. Food may be scarce if he gets stuck in a time rift .
”Timmy wimmy, wibbly, wobbly.. Arcane and occult talk still sounds like gibberish to me.
Not understanding what the rest of the group is talking about, he wanders off and tries to probe the rift for weaknesses. He takes one his new arrows and pokes the rift, probing for any soft points.
Thievery:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Feeling the arrow being sucked into the time rift he manages to let go just in time.
Hero Point time
Too close for comfort, he pokes a little less hard.
Thievery:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
2nd round:
Always one to gamble, he presses his luck for a third try.
As Astrid breaks out the aleskin and hostilities relax, Lizzo take the opportunity to introduce himself before the bottle of brandy arrives.
"I am Lizzo, mercenary for hire, and here to investigate the strange occurrences you speak of. Akiton you say, I am from the Soddenlands of the Mawangi Expanse in Golarian."
"Have you ever met anyone from Jasoom? I recently met a band of warriors from that planet as well. It appears I'm becoming quite the world traveler."
"Four arms! Could they wield two bows at the same time, that would be an impressive feat?"
Lizzo isn't the best 'negotiator', and tends to lead with his martial prowess. Something he apparently has in common with these new creatures, but he can attempt a +11 society check if needed.
Impersonating the construct voice Lizzo says to the group, ”I’ll be back.”
He then rushes off to the resupply cart to pick up another quiver full of arrows. They’re a little shorter than he’s use to, but will do the job. As he loads them, a wave of relief washes away the anxiety.
To Lizzo, it feels like he’s moving in slo motion as the time rift plays tricks on him. He sees Gib and Astrid rush to attack, but barely has time to take a proper stance and fire one arrow.
Seeing the worm closing in, Lizzo shifts his weight to counteract the draw of his bow. He pulls two arrows from his dwindling quiver, aiming for the creature’s eye.
As the might of Grabthar’s hammer hits home, Lizzo begins to adjust his aim over the falling creature to target the worm in the distance.
target 2 then 1. two would be FF due to astrid’s crit, and one would be FF due to surprise attack
This has been the most archery I've seen in a session yet. :)
Lizzo is normally well stocked and happy to share, but it looks like he's already gone through 31/50 this adventure. I'm sure he can spare a few, but he may need to consider carrying more for special events.
Lizzo is surprised to see a strange new creature, and quickly surmises their lethal intentions as they gnaw on a fellow pathfinder. Best to put them down quickly.
He targets the closest beast Y1 and fires two arrows.
Lizzo refuses the used winter clothing, and unpacks his own made that's made to fit an Iruxi properly. He then activates his wayfinder's light and carefully follows in the path of Natesh/Astrid.
"There's a very good chance the rabbit is in no real danger."
"This place is full of mad scientists and knife armed librarians, he's definitely in danger." You then see Lizzo's tongue slowly lick his lips.
"Excellent suggestion Natesh, thank you for offering such a powerful spell."
With that, we'll be back on the bunnies trail in no time. He looks down as there's a grumble in his belly, and he ponders when was the last time they ate?
Lizzo, always ready for danger, notices the whirling blades where a hand or book should be. Never shy with an arrow, he introduces the ‘librarian’ to his.
surprise attack triggers flat footed and sneak attack damage
Seeing Uby and Paxle reunited brings a brief movement of joy to Lizzo, it feels good to occasionally use his abilities for a good cause.
Upon entering the grand library he’s amazed at the expansive collection of material. All of the books in his village would fit in just one of these cases. He keeps his eye’s open for any books on combining archery and magic, knowing he’s close to unlocking those ancient secrets.
Dr. Lazarus wrote:
” One: Get a better view of the entire room. And Two: Avoid a possible ambush from above.”
”Wise advice, that path provides several vantage points I can make use of.”
Lizzo, hearing Uby's voice through the fog, charges through and joins Dr. Lazarus next to the sprite.
Fortitude:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Unfortunately his sprint was farther than anticipated and he will need to wait till next round to unstrap him. Barely making it through the fog, he casts shield with his last action.
