Lu Yan's page

Lu Yan definitely did

Lu Yan doesn't get Yellow's Humor.

Why would a horse walk into bar?

Lu Ya attempts to Pin Green

Grapple check on Green with Improved Grapple plus Bless plus Inspire plus bonus for controlling the Grapple: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 + 3 + 5 = 24

Hopefully, that is enough

Will Save (+2 vs. charm and compulsion); +2 bonus vs. fear, paralysis, and sleep effects, +2 racial bonus vs. fear, sleep, and paralysis effects: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Lu Yan's save against a compulsion is a 15, but does the following text from the spell apply? A creature whose type is different from the caster's receives a +4 bonus on its saving throw, because humor doesn't “translate” well.

Lu Yan moves over to grapple Green to hopefully make them easier to hit.
Grapple check on Green with Improved Grapple plus Bless plus Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 + 3 = 29

Lu Yan five-foot steps into a Blue portal to emerge at Red again.

Once again, having only taken a five foot step, he will flurry with regular shuriken, saving his cold iron for when he has a better chance to hit, hoping to take out some images. I think this would be the edge of the first range increment (-2?)

Flurry attack with Shuriken with Inspire Courage and Bless minus range: 1d20 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 20
Piercing damage: 1d2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Flurry attack with Shuriken with Inspire Courage and Bless minus range: 1d20 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 18
Piercing damage: 1d2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Not going to overcome DR, but maybe take out one or two images. I have got to remember Inspire Courage and Bless

If I recall correctly a five foot step into a portal will leave me on the portal square I am emerging from?

Lu Yan steps into the Red portal next to him and starts to emerge from the Blue portal near the Creature in Yellow.

You and your friends are a nasty bunch, aren't you.

Having only taken a five foot step, he will flurry with regular shuriken, saving his cold iron for when he has a better chance to hit, hoping to take out some images. I think this would be the edge of the second range increment (-4?)

Flurry attack with Shuriken minus range: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 2 - 4 = 2
Piercing damage: 1d2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Flurry attack with Shuriken minus range: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 4 = 12
Piercing damage: 1d2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

And the dice are back to hating me. Probably note even within the AC -5 to pop an image.

I believe I have moved Pink and Green as requested.

Lu Yan will reach down and pick the Wand of Sure Light Wounds he dropped earlier.

The he will try to heal himself, since 4 HP won't last long in this fight.

UMD to activate the wand, DC 20: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Failure, so no healing.

He shakes the wand. I can never get this thing to work when I really need it.

Well, here goes nothing.

Lu Yan tries to Grapple Red

Grapple attempt using improved grapple, with Inspire/Bless with Prone Penalty: 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 3 + 1 - 4 = 28

Assuming that worked and Red is grappled and can't take AoOs Lu Yan will then use his move to stand up

Lu Yan will stand up.

There are a number of options from here, although if Red takes an AoO and drops Lu Yan again, it is pretty simple

Constitution check to stabilize, DC 18: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

I believe Lu Yan will stabilize and not lose the 1 HP this round, but when the Bleed hits he loses the Stabilization and will probably die within 2 rounds (Con of 14)

Lu Yan will pull out a wand and attempt to heal himself.

UMD to activate Wand of Cure Light Wounds DC 20: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

I can't hit any of these things but manage to Crit the UMD Check where it doesn't matter?

Healing from Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

I think I got it, thanks

Lu Yan will flurry with Cold Iron Shuriken at location where Yellow was last seen.

Cold Iron shuriken Strike 1 : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Piercing Damage: 1d2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Cold Iron shuriken Strike 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Piercing Damage: 1d2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Miss Chance, high is good for me, Strike 1: 1d100 ⇒ 55
Miss Chance, high is good for me, Strike 2: 1d100 ⇒ 12

The story of my life. The strike that might have hit on AC misses on the Miss chance, and vice versa

AoO on Yellow

Unarmed Strike AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Strike misses but Spellcraft makes it

No surprises yet. Yellow cast Invisibility

Lu Yan follows Yellow.

What happens when I five-foot step into the portal? That will determine what I do after that.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Nope, no idea what happened, and no second AoO

Lu Yan will move to where Yellow disappeared and try to Grapple

Grapple attempt with Agile Maneuvers and such: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

50% miss chance, high is good for me: 1d100 ⇒ 32

Misses on both rolls

Lu Yan has a wand of Cure Lights Wounds which could have been used to heal Cade.

AoO on Green

Unarmed Strike AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Yes, Lu Yan's damage is just Magical Bludgeoning.

Swift Action: Dragon Stance

Here goes nothing

Charge Yellow: Dragon Stance allows me to ignore difficult terrain (the steps) and 1.5 strength on first attack.

Unarmed Strike with charge bonus: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

I do not believe I have used my shirt reroll yet, so trying again
Unarmed Strike with charge bonus plus 4 GM stars: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 + 4 = 22

If I pile enough bonuses on a roll. . .

PFS number is 20781-28

He has no day job.

Lu Yan will take a moment to store the vial in his backpack, then head down the stairs (Movement speed of 40 ft as a Monk.)

Thank you. I hope to see you later.

We have enemies, that is certain. Our Superior in the Pathfinder Society asked for a small sample of that fluid you are collecting. If we can get that from you, it would be appreciated. What is the fastest way you know of to the mortal Grove?

As Ferdrin stated, we Pathfinders here to observe this place and the events unfolding even now. The Pathfinder Society collects things that might be harmful and tries to keep them from the wrong hands.

Lu Yan doesn't have the knowledge to be much more articulate here, but will roll Diplomacy with just his Charisma bonus.

Diplomacy Check with Charisma bonus: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

I think this is my first roll above a 5 today.

Knowledge (arcana) DC 20: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Whoo Hoo! I made a knowledge check

It looks like the electrum syrup is the temporal essence VC Smine charged us with obtaining a vial of.

Did anybody catch what she said?

Lu Yan will follow Ferdrin through the portal

I believe I performed the two requested moves as directed.

Lu Yan tries out the Cold Iron Shuriken he picked up at the start of the adventure.

Flurry Ranged attack roll with Cold Iron Shuriken and Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 3 = 23
Piercing damage with Cold Iron Shuriken and Inspire Courage: 1d2 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 3 = 7

Flurry Ranged attack roll with Cold Iron Shuriken and Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 3 = 10
Piercing damage with Cold Iron Shuriken and Inspire Courage: 1d2 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 3 = 6

One might hit.

Perception Check vs DC 25: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Watch out Ferdrin! It sounds like something is approaching the stairs above to get behind you.

Flurry of Blows against White with Inspire Courage
Attack with temple sword: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 3 = 19
Slashing Damage/19+: 1d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 3 = 13

Attack with temple sword: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 3 = 15
Slashing Damage/19+: 1d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 3 = 13

I'm pretty sure those both whiff

Lu Yan follows the Black Gremlin through the Red portal.

Assuming he ends up coming out the same portal Black did, he continues his move and casts Burning Hands at Black and White.

Burning Hands Damage, DC 14 Reflex save: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 1) = 3

The dice roller hates me

Lu Yan will continue to Flurry against Black.

Flurry of Blows against Black with Inspire Courage
Attack with temple sword: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 3 = 7
Slashing Damage/19+: 1d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 3 = 11

Attack with temple sword: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 3 = 21
Slashing Damage/19+: 1d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 3 = 7

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Lu Yan manages to avoid the noise.

Resolving AoO versus purple with Inspire Courage
Attack with temple sword: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 3 = 18
Slashing Damage/19+: 1d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 3 = 13

Maybe?

Flurry of Blows against Black with Inspire Courage
Attack with temple sword: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 3 = 24
Slashing Damage/19+: 1d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 3 = 10

Attack with temple sword: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 3 = 9
Slashing Damage/19+: 1d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 3 = 13

First Strike is Critical Threat
Attack with temple sword to confirm Crit: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 3 = 16
Slashing Damage/19+ Additional if Crit: 1d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 3 = 8

Enough of this. It's time to get serious.

Lu Yan pulls his Temple Sword and strikes at Black

Attack with temple sword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Slashing Damage/19+: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

and looks clumsy doing it

Isn't this quite the party.

Flurry of Blows Attack on White: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Flurry of Blows Attack on White: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Crit Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Those might even hit.

Sense Motive DC 5: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

That sure sounds like Chunhua. We should probably head up there.

Before he goes up, Lu Yan will attempt to identify Red vial #3 with Perception.

Perception check vs DC 23: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

I heard a *shriek* from upstairs. Was that Chunhua’s voice?

I don't have enough Sense Motive to make the check in the spoiler

Lu Yan continues to attack the sad sack

Attack roll with claws: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 3 = 13
Piercing and Slashing damage: 1d4 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 3 = 7

Attack roll with claws: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 3 = 13
Piercing and Slashing damage: 1d4 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 3 = 8

@Lu Yan, I'm reading from Resisting Grappler that the AoO is triggered when YOU (the person with the feat) are the target of the grapple.

Correct?

Correct

Lu Yan continues his attack, now with Inspire Courage, at the bag

Attack roll with claws: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 3 = 17
Piercing and Slashing damage: 1d4 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 3 = 7

Attack roll with claws: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 3 = 13
Piercing and Slashing damage: 1d4 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 3 = 5

Question: Special Attacks?

Just in case it comes up, because it is a big sack, Lu Yan has Resisting Grappler which means he not only gets an AoO against a grab in most cases, he gets to add 5 to the damage to add to his CMB against the Grab.

Knowledge(Arcana): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

I don't know if I learned anything, but here I go

Free action to form claws.

Five foot step to the bag

Two strikes with claws

Attack roll with claws: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Piercing and Slashing damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Attack roll with claws: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Piercing and Slashing damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

and we'll see if that does anything.

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Sigh, and so it continues

Positioned

Wand Charge Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Wand Charge Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Wand Charge Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

That brings me to -1, which should be fine for now.

Could someone who can cast Cure Spells use this wand on me a few times. I am pretty good at doing it myself, but if there are people who can do it naturally, it is easier.

Average wand healing out of combat? Or roll each charge? I forget

Wasn't there someone sneaking into the tower we need to pursue?

He will use his wand of Mage Armor while the discussion occurs.

What is it they say about trying the same thing time after time, expecting different results?

Flurry of Blows Attack on Blue with Inspire Courage and Prayer: 1d20 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 29
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic: 1d8 + 3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 3 + 1 = 11

Flurry of Blows Attack on Blue with Inspire Courage and Prayer: 1d20 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 11
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic: 1d8 + 3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 3 + 1 = 12

I suspect one hit, finally

Draconic Fury has run out, but I'll still try to hit

Flurry of Blows Attack on Blue with Inspire Courage and Prayer: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 10
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10

Flurry of Blows Attack on Blue with Inspire Courage and Prayer: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 16
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 12

Sad trombone sound, again

Lu Yan will continue to try to Flurry of Blows Blue with the Draconic Fury (1d6 Cold, 2 rounds, Cold) (Su) from last round still in effect.

I'll event try to remember the Inspire Courage and Prayer this time

Flurry of Blows Attack on Blue with Inspire Courage and Prayer: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 16
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic + 1d6 Cold: 1d8 + 3 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + (6) + 2 + 1 = 15

Flurry of Blows Attack on Blue: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 14
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic + 1d6 Cold: 1d8 + 3 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (5) + 2 + 1 = 13

What does it take to get a double digit d20 roll around here?

Lu Yan will continue to try to Flurry of Blows Blue after he uses swift to activate Draconic Fury (1d6 Cold, 2 rounds, Cold) (Su) As a swift action, use 1 ki to grant natural att 1d6 extra dam for duration.

Flurry of Blows Attack on Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic + 1d6 Cold: 1d8 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 3 + (3) = 13

Flurry of Blows Attack on Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic + 1d6 Cold: 1d8 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (3) = 8

Well, one might hit

Spellcraft DC 19: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
No clue

A couple of questions about the Attack on Lu Yan. I will apologize in advance for not stating it, but I think I would have used my Wand of Mage Armor right before the clock struck, expecting trouble. I'll understand if you disallow based on the fact I didn't say it. Also, what ancestry does this enemy have a favored enemy bonus against? I ask, ask while Lu Yan is Half Elf, he has a strange SU ability that means he counts as a Dragon instead of a Human for favored enemy bonuses.

Reflex Save vs Pink Piecing Cone DC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Success, and Lu Yan has Evasion so no damage

Lu Yan will Flurry of Blows Blue

Flurry of Blows Attack on Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Flurry of Blows Attack on Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Bludgeoning damage, counts as Magic: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Grumble, grumble

Will Save DC 15 or Blinded: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
