Mavor Asku's page

"So. What do we do now? Obviously we're staying here for the night. We will need to buy provisions to last us our search for the Shoanti tribes. After that we set off? Maybe inquiries about where they roam at this point would be handy."

Mavor thinks to himself for a bit and tries to recollect if Blythe was also going to Harse.

GM, was Blythe in Harse with Trinia and Allyph?

Mavo stands up walks over to Weiss, places a hand on her shoulder and nods.

"I'm sorry if I sounded harsh, but you wouldn't believe a stranger telling you that he or she is a god yourself right? Time will tell if there truly is a god inside of you or that mask you are wearing. For now, we will welcome any person willing and able to help out in the salvation of Korvosa. Our journey is a long and hard one and fraught with peril."

Mavor walks across the room and fills in the possible gaps in the story Denario tells the two newcomers and Allyph.

"Well we've come to know who the current Blackjack is and he is of course on our side. We've played a game of Bloodpig with one of the local crimelords. He himself didn't live to tell the tale. And we've now come out of Korvosa to seek out a cure so you will for the Queen. She has used some pact or magic to gain unnatural abilities, maybe some of the tribes know of a way to counter that."

Mavor taking a seat in a chair nods in agreement with Corven at his mention of being sent here by Cayden Cailean.

"Very well, the Drunken God has never disappointed the worthy and righteous. I will welcome his gift if you share it."

Mavor takes the flask of ale when Corven shares it and takes a large gulp out of it.

Mavor then looks at Weiss as she's telling her story and scoffs at the mention of being an old god.
"Miss Weiss, please refrain from telling such preposterous lies to us. You want to help us out or want us to help you out, you should better tell us the truth and not dawdle in tales of grandeur."

Mavor sits back on the chair, twirling his greataxe on the ground.

"We've got more important matters to attend to than believing these false lies. We've got a city to save, if the gods favour us so."

Mavor stares intently at Weiss, making the point that he won't be fooled with this grand lie, neither he nor the others for that matter.

Mavor relaxes his shoulders and moves over to Allyph, sitting down next beside her and laying an arm around her shoulders.

"I'm not so sure as to who or what did it to Baer, but it was on the grounds of the Arkona family that me and Baer both had found our folly. The Arkona bloke who orchestrated everything, died a certain death by my axe. With all of us helping the good and long fight, it is never a one man effort."

Mavor sighs as he knows he has to tell the coming part of the tale.
"Like I said, Baer and me were standing in the same line. We were waiting for our judgment to come. I was a little ahead in the line of Baer. Then suddenly I heard a whisper of a voice calling out my name as well as Baer's, calling us back. Then I looked over to Baer, see if she was also going back. She shook her head and waved me goodbye. That was the last I know before returning back to life to fight alongside the others once more."

Mavor looks a bit confused at the others.
"To be honest, I'm not sure how those guys managed to get us both back. We were nowhere near a temple."

Mavor nods, eventually breaking the silence as well.

"I didn't see how she died, though the last time I saw her, she was waiting in the same line as me."

Mavor lets that soak in for a second or two, then continues to remove the collar of his coat and shirt. A thick scar around his neck is visible to anyone close to him.

"She found rest at least. We made sure she was buried in a peaceful place outside of Korvosa for now. Maybe we'll return her body for a proper burial after the current regime has been deposed."

Mavor replies back to Denario.

Mavor looks at Weiss with a raised eyebrow, then shakes his head. "That won't be necessary miss Weiss. My friends and Allyph here just want to catch up with our stories. There are some things that need to be discussed and it's more of a private manner now. We will be done in maybe two hours at the most. After that you can explain us more about this 'debt' people owe us. As I understand we already have some friends in higher places, I'm intriged on who we can add to that list."

Mavor looks confused as the new arrival of Weiss appears to join in the conversation.

"I'm sorry miss, but who are you?" Evidently Mavor is somewhat annoyed with the woman barging into the conversation. He holds out his hand to Corven for him to shake it.

"The name's Mavor, but apparently you've got one up on us. What's your name good man?

Mavor then adresses Allyph.
[b]"We've got alot to talk about and catch up on stories. There's alot that has happened since you left Korvosa." And Mavor's face turns a little grim for a second, then flashes back to a quick grin.

"Now we have time for you miss." Mavor looking back finally at Weiss.
"What business do you have with us that is so fortunate?"

Mavor thanks the innkeeper for the the rooms and takes any keys to the rooms from him as Tural forgot to take them after hearing Allyph's whereabouts.

Putting the keys away, he jogs away after Denario to catch up with him and walk alongside to Allyph's house.
"Hold on up there Denario, still needed to stow away those keys."

The two walk along chatting a bit before eventually seeing the Tural eagle flying back and swooping down somewhere along the road.

"Bet he's found Allyph there." Mavor says to Denario.

A moment later the two of them see Allyph and Mavor waves to Allyph as well.
"Oy Allyph! What've you been up to? How're the kids?"

Sorry GM, I'm still interested but I've been very busy, just bowed out of two of my other games because I've got little to no time outside of study and work.

Earlier
Mavor whistles as the Lords put a bag full of coins into every one of their hands.

"My my.. Good lord, this is a seriously generous gift. We will spend it well when we get the chance to get some new supplies. You have our sincerest thanks."

Also for visiting Allyph first.

As Tural orders rooms at the innkeeper, Mavor stands behind him checking out the other patrons at the inn. He hears Tural's words and lays a hand on his shoulder as he is reminded of Baer.

Mavor sidles over towards the campfire as well, frowning as lord Lottinvale mentions him finding their group.
It's not like he did anything to find us, we approached them. Ah well, no use in making a fuss about that. I'll just be glad that we've found nice people along the road.

He sits down cross-legged at the opposite side of the fire and takes out a small strip of jerky from his rations.

"So? Where are you heading? Perhaps our roads will head in the same direction for a time. We're off to seek out some old acquaintances of ours several days of travel further on. After that, who knows."

Tell a little bit of the truth to hide the lie. They don't need to know all of our plans.

Don't worry too much about that GM, we'll be here when you have time again.

Take your time to get better and to get settled in. Looking forward to continuing this campaign when you're ready.

Mavor's is surprised and taken aback that a nobleman recognises them, even outside of Korvosa.

"Well met sir Lottinvale. May I inquire as to why you are on the road?" Mavor asks the round nobleman.

Mavor is a little suspicious and wary about most nobles and tries to discern any lies in the mans' words.
Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

"Look at those things. They even have a ballista mounted up on top of one of those carriages. Wonder where they're off to and why."

Mavor sees the crests and notifies the others.
"See? They're from minor nobility. Something has got them spooked."

Have they spotted us? How are they reacting to us approaching?
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Mavor stands at the sidelines with the others as the conversation between Tural and Azis goes on. He nods solemnly as Tural mentions some have parted, but otherwise remains silent until the conversation ends.

Mavor then approaches Azis slowly and bows slightly. "Thank you for your hospitality. It means much to us."

He then waits to be invited further in.

Mavor whistles lowly, scratching his head after that.
"That's quite some story and theory you're telling us there Vencarlo. So we're seeking information from the Shoanti tribes, that's not too difficult at least. Apart from the environment and possible hostile tribes perhaps. I've got a question though: What if they don't have answers? What if the Queen can't be saved? What then?"

Mavor lets those questions sink in for a moment before continuing.
"I'm up for crazy things, but I don't feel quite ready to take on Castle Korvosa by ourselves. Even with your aid Vencarlo. We'd need more than our conviction."

"Farewell my friend." Mavor whispers solemnly as he puts the last handsful of dirt on Baer's grave.

During the evening he talks with Denario about how this all started, reminiscing about the past, sharing the talk about how Gaedren Lamm was undone by Baer, Allpyh, Denario and himself. There is some slight talk about another man there, but the man didn't seem to trigger many memories in Mavor's recollection.

Mavor ends with the following. "Let's just hope that one of us, preferably both, lives to tell the tale. It seems to me a story worthy to be told in the end. On par with deeds done by Blackjack."

Did everyone already communicated their preferences over new players joining with our GM? I'm kinda curious as to who's coming to join.

Mavor would have probably traveled back for Baer's body and carried it along. She was someone he held kinship with, so he will make sure she finds her peace outside of the city.

"Aye we have." Mavor replies to Quorthos's statement.
"We've lived our lives in that city and I loved it. Now it's turned dark and we've lost our lives in it. If there's some closure to be had now, it's at leastthat we finally can put our good friend to rest. It is the least we can do for her."

Mavor says as he gently lays own Baer's lifeless body on the ground.
He looks to see if there's any suitable place for her to be buried. He looks for a place that's green and full of life, yet also a bit harsh in vegetation to reflect Baer's persona.

"I'd suggest we bury her. A fire might attract unwanted attention to us and so we can always relocate Baer's remains when we come back and the city is the citizens' once more."

I would eventually need a better weapon though. A good-aligned cold-iron or silver greataxe might be very handy for me.

Happy new year everyone.

Good luck Imoya, thanks for playing with us, albeit a bit short.

Merry christmas and a happy new year to you as well GM ^^

Seems the forum ate my post. oh well. I'm up for the wand idea as well.

Mavor nods at the mentioning of the wand and cautions the others.
"Rule number one of being stealthy; don't make any noise. Be careful with rowing the oars of the boat."

No problem at all

"Harse sounds fine." Mavor says as he cracks his neck, still feeling quite sore all around it.

"That's also the place where Allyph is right? Girl who went with the orphans? Would be good to see her again as well."

He picks up his greataxe again and makes movements indicating he's ready to get going.
"Quorthos has the right idea. No time to chat, we've got to move."

Mavor level 10 +1 level of Rogue (Skulking Slayer/Sclout)
+1 to Fort and Will Saves
Sneak attack upgrade to 5d6
Gain: Unexpected Charge (Ex)
HP: +7 (d8+2+1)

At 9th level, a skulking slayer can make a Bluff check to feint as a swift action before a charge.

This ability replaces trap sense +3.

Skills: +1 to Bluff, Perception, Acrobatics, Stealth, Knowledge (Local and Dungeoneering) +3 to Linguistics
FCB +1 HP
New languages: Draconic, Celestial, Auran

Mavor doesn't resist either.
"As long as you don't attack innocent people in this city, I've got no quarrel with you and your secret will be safe."

Mavor lands next to Glorio's body and then needs to put some effort into retrieving his greataxe from the dead Rakshasa.

"That was some tough fight. Glad I've got to get at least one good hit in."

He takes up a piece of cloth from his pocket in his pants and cleans his axeblade.
When Tural comes by to heal everyone, Mavor puts a hand on his shoulder.

"Thanks Tural. You've done us a great service in this battle. Even though some may not have felt it, I did feel my efforts in this fight able to do with ease thanks to you."

Mavor continues to trying to feint Glorio and continue his attacks on him.
"I'm coming down to meet you, mister kitty!"
Mavor makes a motion as if he would fly down to meet Glorio.

Bluff to Feint: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 4 = 29
Bluff reroll due to Fortune: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 4 = 39
"Haha, I stayed up! Have at you!"

Crit confirm?: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 322d12 + 24 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (8, 7) + 24 + 12 + 2 = 53
O please let this confirm ^^

Mavor tries to feint Glorio again, while maintaining the same altitude.

He continues to switch his greataxe along in his hands, feigning left or right attacks.
Bluff to Feint: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 15 + 4 = 31
Reroll Feint due to Fortune: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

Mavor 5-foot flies back up again to gain the height advantage over Glorio once more.

"Look out! What's that behind you?"

Bluff to Feint: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 4 = 34
Reroll due to Fortune: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 4 = 26
Attack, Greataxe, Power Attack, Flank, Height Advantage, Bull's Strength: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 241d12 + 12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 6 + 1 = 24

If the feint is succesful.
"Hah! I can't believe that worked!" Mavor laughs out loud as Glorio does seem to momentarily look behind him.

Also If succesfull, he is again flat-footed vs all of us

Oops, sorry. Didn't realise you were waiting on me.

Mavor floats down 5 foot again to attack Glorio, hopefully now being between him and Tural.

"Hey there kitty, nice right arm you got there. Shame if it would be chopped off eh?"
Mavor swings his axe around to feint an attack on Glorio's right arm, then switches grips quickly to attack Glorio's left side.
Bluff to Feint: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 4 = 30
Feint reroll: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36
Attack, Power Attack, Height Advantage, Flank, Bull's Strength: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 311d12 + 12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 6 + 1 = 20

If he's fooled again, he's flatfooted vs all of us.

Remember guys, he's flat-footed again vs all of you. Hit him!

Mavor 5-foot flies lower and south to attack Glorio once again, flanking together with Melyia.[/ooc]

"Hey Cat-brain! I'm coming from up above!"

Feint: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 4 = 28
Feint reroll due to Fortune: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31

Attack, Greataxe, Power Attack, Height Advantage, Flank, Bull's Strength: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 291d12 + 12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 6 + 1 = 28

Not enough

Mavor flies around to Glorio and makes sure he is higher up in the air than him.

"Hi I'm back!" Mavor grins as he comes near the Rakshasa again.

"This time you're not escaping my wrath!"

Mavor swings his greataxe with fervor as he knows Glorio fell for his trick last round.

Attack Greataxe, Power Attack, Height Advantage, Bull's strength, still flat-footed vs me: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 1 - 2 = 281d12 + 12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 6 + 1 = 29
Fortune roll: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

He was still flat-footed vs me, as I didn't attack him yet. I'd like to use my one-time power to ignore his DR as well.

Also due to Greater Feint, Glorio is flat-footed to you all ^^. Thank you GM!

Mavor flies around the Foo Lion and maneuvres so that he flanks with Meliya and feints an attack on Glorio.

Feint, Greater Feint: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 4 = 20

Reroll due to Fortune: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 4 = 35 DC=HD+BAB+Sense motive. Might this be good enough?

Mavor charges after Glorio in the air, swinging his greataxe.

Attack, Greataxe, Power Attack, Charge, Height, Bull's strength Advantage: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 311d12 + 12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 6 + 1 = 24

Next level I can feint on a charge, unfortunately not now

I have a PFS witch with the Fortune hex, I saved it for almost everyone for the boss battle. About the only thing I did then was using Fortune and cackling, but it worked. I think that, unless you're a powergamer, you know when you're abusing your powers.
Saving it for a boss battle? That's just good sense.

If I haven't got the -7 Str penalty, could you please remove it from the stat chart GM?

Mavor 5-foot flies after Glorio, a little higher, and while he is moving up, he switches the grip on his greataxe back and forth in his hands.
"I'm coming left, no right. Yeah right, feels better to smash your face in with."

Bluff to Feint: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20
Reroll Bluff: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26 That's probably not enough. DC=10+BAB+Sense Motive mod

Mavor then attacks Glorio with a single vicious attack.
Attack, Greataxe, Bull's Strength, Height Advantage: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 311d12 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 1 = 19

True that, but Tural has been keeping chant up on me since he started, so that Fortune round is continuing on and on so long as he chants.

Well it's better to be safe than sorry. Luckily Tural keeps Fortune up on me. Maybe it's best to reroll all my saves as long as I don't use up Fortune during my own turn.

Darn it, that literally saps my combat strength. And I imagined Glorio was a rogue as well. Also a higher one than me.

Mavor flies up and over to Glorio, flying to the north of Glorio but 10 feet up, then slowly floating lower to attack from a height advantage.

Attack, Combat Expertise, Bull's Strength, Height Advantage, Flank, -7 Strength: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 4 - 2 = 161d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Hopefully next round I can get him flat-footed, want to set it up.

AC=25, Touch, 14, FF 22

"It will be my pleasure."

Mavor flies towards Glorio and attacks him with his Greataxe.
Attack, Greataxe, Power Attack, Bull's Strength: 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 2 - 2 = 311d12 + 12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 6 + 1 = 26

It's not easy to indicate my movement on the map as the Foo lion blocks my way. If I can fly to the other side of Glorio to flank with the Foo Lion I will. If so add +2 attack and Sneak Attack Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 1, 1) = 9 to the results.

Oh, btw, if Mavor rolls low on a save, say below 15 on a Will save. I'll use the Fortune that Tural is keeping up on me.

He has (Improved) Evasion of course

No I mean it's the 100% surety to negate his invisibility, regardless if he makes the save.

Gotta love Glitterdust

So...I don't see Glorio or his sister on the map, I assume he is still 15 feet above the crumpled elephant statue?

Mavor switches his grip on his greataxe to one hand, then moves up onto the statue and draws his whip along the way. I have 15-foot reach with the whip though, so any point I'm close enough.

"Seems like I've been in this situation before. Come here you!"

Grapple check with whip, Bull's Strength: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 2 = 28
Probably not enough...mwrk quality doesn't add into CMBs with weapons do they?

Mavor doesn't cast spells on himself, instead he waits for others to cast spells on him, ready to wade into combat once more for the group.

"Whenever you're ready guys. I'll introduce Glorio to this axe if everything goes according to plan. I'll take the lead, just follow me closely."
