Matsudaira's page

I dunno Malph. Part of it for me is not reading the book and not knowing what is coming.

Just posting to say I am still here.

Seeing a rat advancing toward him at speed, Matsudaira throws couple of kicks in its direction.

Flurry attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Flurry attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Flurry attack 1 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Flurry attack 2 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

I have the sunrod. How many creatures are there and how close are they to me?

Matsudaira balls his fists, preparing for whatever is coming. He sets his feet into a ready fighting stance.

Matsudaira whispers ahead to Malph while simultaneously trying to hide the sunrod's light and see by it.

What do you see?

Yeah, whatever. I'll follow Malph.

Unable to determine anything about the ring Matsudaira puts it in his backpack for inspection later.

Matsudaira calls to Alassa

Alassa, what did those papers say? Anything about the Silver Ravens or even who owns this place? Maybe an invoice from someone who we can speak to about the ravens?

I do not have the appraise skill but would like to examine my find. What does it look like and is there anything out of teh ordinary about it. Perception check?

Perception on Ring: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

I see something glinting up there. I am going to go have a look.

climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

How curious. Things are moving over here.

When the time is suitable I would like to make another perception check to look around

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Can I perhaps fumble around by the meager light of the sunrod to see what I can find? Going to make some rolls, use what you think is relevant. Probably perception I guess?

Perception to find interesting things: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

With that roll I am guessing I find splinters and tetanus

Matsudaira nods his thanks to Viviana.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Yes, you need crit confirmation

Assuming the lead dog will be still on me. Rolling up damage, but it will be for after the dog has another go at me.

Flurry attach 1 to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Flurry attach 2 to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Flurry attach 1 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Flurry attach 1 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Matsudaira stands up and kicks at the lead dog.

unarmed strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

unarmed strike damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

If lead dog is not available then whichever dog is

Matsudaira looks up at Viviana.

I am simply calming myself in preparation for the chaos which no doubt will come.

Matsudaira springs lightly to his feet, glancing around the room looking for signs of danger.

While Alassa attempts to sense any magical fields in the area Matsudaira settles comfortable on the floor and meditates upon the events of the past few hours.

I only wanted to show Thrune that the populous does not agree with what he is doing, and now I am here in a stable with this group of interesting people.

Matsudaria squeezes through the gap. With a bit of luck he doesn't trip over any unseen objects.

Matsudaira holds the sunrod, trying to cloak as much as its light as possible. He stands stoically waiting as Malph fiddles with the lock.

Had to resist the urge to hold it aloft and scream "By the Power of Greyskull or something similar. Perhaps perform some sort of fire twirling. It has been a long morning at work.

*edit to remove silly RP actions.

I have no money to go shopping with so I'll skip that.

This lock looks fairly secure. Perhaps one of you has some experience with picking locks? I could knock it down, but that would not allow us to close and lock the door on our exit, and may be a little too obvious a sign to those looking to track us.

I personally don't mind. I am a monk and not looking to amass a vast hoard of loot worthy of a dragon. I cannot use armour without a penalty and my unarmed strikes do the same amount of damage as a monk weapon does for flurry. The gold will go towards a neck piece or something if and when I get the chance. I cannot speak for other though.

At Viviana's urging Matsudaira turn toward the door and sets out toward the stables.

Matsudaira slips his 30GP into his backpack and waits on the others.

So Malph is taking the signet and maybe the dagger? Alassa is taking the bracers? Coins I figure can be split?

If you are accepting items then please gather them up and let's get moving.

I know the stables from my childhood. I used to take things there sometimes for my parents. I even remember rumours of them being haunted.

Content to follow Rexus, at least for now, Matsudaira waits for them others to be ready to go.

I for one am curious as to what may be found in this location.

Matsudaira says nothing, content to follow Viviana's lead.

Australia is sad :(

We don't have cons around here that have PFS, or at least I don't think we do.

So, I am enjoying this Pathfinder thing. Trying to get into a society game to feel that out too.

Matsudaira is a little too trusting, but Viviana's words make him a little cautious.

can I roll a sense motive on him please

sense motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Matsudaira nods to Rexus.

You have my support.

Martial artist archetype can be any alignment, but I don't get ki. The archetype is from Ultimate Combat.

More than happy though to re-slot myself into another alignment if you feel that I should. This is my first RPG game so more than willing to take advice.

Alassa, I am new to this so any help you could give would be much appreciated. Do you have a source for that list or anything else around it? Matsudaira is also Chaotic Good. I have been trying to play him as a mix of Mr Miyagi and Sir Samuel Vimes from Nightwatch (a book by Terry Pratchett). I think I have stayed within those commandments, but if there is a bigger article or something that could give me more information on playing this alignment it would be great.

Is the victim conscious now? Can we speak to him/her? I would like to know what happened, and the thugs are either unconscious, dead or soon will be dead

Giving up on trying to sway her Matsudaira leans against the wall waiting for Alassa to finish her murderous rampage.

Was asking in relation to checking victim.

I don't want any part of killing anyone who cannot fight back. Self defence is one thing, but cold blooded murder is another. I would like to tie up at least one of them. We can interrogate them perhaps.

I would council you to stay your hands. These men are incapacitated and cannot defend themselves. Perhaps more could be gained by questioning them. It may even be fruitful to search them while they are incapable of resisting. We could leave them bound and naked if you feel that some punishment is in order.

As he speaks Matsudaira looks at the victim and checks on his condition.

Do you want some sort of roll?

Matsudaira move up to Thug 2. He launches a kick aimed at the thugs body (unarmed strike).

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

confirm crit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

attack damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

that is 8 damage if the crit confirms

Can I delay please. Thugs 2 and 3 are the immediate threats and so I want to attack them, but unconcious thugs are in the way. I assume I can't clamber over them or occupy their space, so I'll hold off since they can't melee me either. When they move I will act.

Ok. I am fine with beating up the conscious guys. Or do we tie up the 3 that are unconscious first?

I'll post as soon as I get a chance. Btw, noob forum question: Is the roll command actually a macro that rolls for you, or do you have to type the whole thing out after rolling independently?

Use square not round brackets but like this

(dice=TEXT) 1d20+5 (/dice)

example

TEXT: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

On a side note, where was that roll when I was rolling to hit?

HAHAHAHAHA First combat of the game and I whiffed it terribly. Stupid dice.

Matsudaira sees that these thugs are about to strike a defenseless individual and springs into action. He launches a flurry of unarmed blows at one of the attackers pick one

Flurry of blows attack one: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Flurry of blows attack two: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Putting damage rolls here incase I hit

Flurry of blows attack one damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Flurry of blows attack one damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

So, how about that local sports team?

On a more serious note, what drew you all to your character classes?

I will stick with the rest of the group

Matsudaira does not draw a weapon but does shift slightly as if readying to defend himself.

Ok, I agree that we should go
