Menenclair's page

I think we miscommunicated.

To be honest, I was kind of confused.

Firstly, I thought we were in exploration mode attempting to gather info or coerce the NPC.

Then, I understood we were attempting to use the Influence Subsystem and questing or attempting our approaches. However, we seemed to have hit a barrier? Or did we never use Influence?

SB, I think that Rail is not expecting you to hand us everything over, but some more guidance is appreciated.

If you told us: look, we're using Influence and/or Reputation or another subsystem, my approach would have been totally different. However, from what I gathered was that we were in a conversation and each of us would be able to attempt an approach...

And, on that matter, a degree of metagaming is expected when using Victory Points. Heck, when PFS uses Infiltration, they straight up tell you what's available to roll.

This is not me pilling on you. I truly appreciate the effort and have enjoyed what little I could of the game. I understand there seem to be issues that date back to before I joined...

If you feel like calling it a game, I thank you for running.

By all means. There are other avenues to ge the information we require

Menenclair smiles at Rail's promp.

I usually begin with the toes, they're the easiest to break... then I go on up and get to the kneecaps... Ohh these hurt.

Intimidation to Coerce: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Just leaving the roll here. Whatever I do can take place once Caks has acted

Menenclair grins at finding out about the pesh Hey, friend, you sure know how to party, eh? Do you see a woman named Natalya in my future?

I think we could try to go with what we have. Keep the story going forward.

I'd love a reading Menenclair says.

"I'd rather not share it. You'll know it, eventually, but suffice to say that the name's been more of a curse than a blessing

I might try visiting Arvensorar. I can try to leverage my family's name for some information.

Menenclair nods and says Well, we could try to hit up a few bars and shaddy locations. See if someone has heard of Natalya

Menenclair tries to pick up the pieces of the broken cup and then, hastly, looks for a vase or a fireplace where he can dump them.

Menenclair draws his Bastard Sword and charges at P3.

◆ Interact to draw weapon, ◆ Stride (spd 20 ft), ◆ Stride (spd 20 ft)

SB, noticed Caks just acted and I'm on deck. I should wait for your prompt to take my turn, just in case something changes due to Caks' actions, right?

I moved mine just fine when I engaged p2 back then. Didn't have any issues

Menenclair tries to keep a hold of the creature he is engaged with. The , he attempts to punch it twice.

◆ new Grapple against P2 since mine ends at the end of my turn, ◆ strike, ◆ strike

Athletics to Grapple, take lowest: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Athletics to Grapple, take lowest: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Gauntlet first Strike, take lowest: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Gauntlet first Strike, take lowest: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Gauntlet second Strike, take lowest: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Gauntlet first Strike, take lowest: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I'd like to take advantage of my Reactive Strike (I have it, since I'm a fighter. Do I solve it now or, since there's only Caks before myself, on my next post? Don't want to clog up the text.

If Reactive Strike applies, then Menenclair takes a reaction to P2 drawing the shortsword

↺ Reactive Strike, with Misfortune, using gauntlet, take lowest
Reactive Strike roll 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Reactive Strike roll 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Gauntlet bludgeoning damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Revised First Turn:
Making the Will saves

Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Actions stay the same, though let’s see if they get any worse due to the spoilered part First rolls were a 17 to grapple and a 15 to hit

misfortune to grapple: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

misfortune to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

so the a 17 to grapple and a 12 to hit

something went wrong with that damage roll

Damage, bludgeoning: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Menenclair paces, getting to the creature that's eating the candles. Then, he attempts to grab it and punch it with his gauntlet.

◆ Stride to creature 2 ◆ Attempt to grapple creature 2 ◆ Attempt to strike at creature 2

Athletics to Grapple: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 vs creature's Fort DC/

Gauntlet Melee Strike, second attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d4 + 4d6 ⇒ (1) + (5, 6, 6, 6) = 24

Nice to meet you! Menenclair smirks. A sorcerous raven's certainly something I've never heard of. No disrespect intended, of course

Go ahead, Caks. I also see no harm in trying to spell Ulcer, if Lucre does not work. An ULCER can be CRUEL. But then, a box can hold LUCRE Menenclair smiles.

I still say we should smash it open Menenclair scratches his head.

He is used to partying and brawling. It has been a while since his mind has had some exercise

Nice to meet ya, Barry! Menenclair exclaims, taking Barry’s hand I’d love to do some dungeon delving, especially if it involves chopping monsters to bits

Menenclair frowns at the box.
I was about to suggest we smash it, but I reckon that would probably blow us to pieces. It’s supposed to be a paradox, but of what type?

Menenclair smiles at that.
Now we’re talking

my bad. I’m fumbling a bit with my aliases. Should normalize in a bit

A large, strong man reclines in an armchair that barely seems to support his weight. He seems to be sharpening a bastard sword quite diligently. Hello there, you may call me Menenclair. Menclair only, no surnames. I don't know if you know Magnimar, I can show around, though I would advise you to steer well away from the noble quarters.

Hi there, we've talked over the recruitment channel.
