"Ahhhhh, *dyed*. I get it!" The Black Rabbit chuckles as they come up to the next room.

The eidolan stops dead at the entrance. "What in the Nine Hells is that?"

"I see nothing funny about this," The Black Rabbit growls in return, their fur plastered down in odd swirls from the dye. They shake themselves vigorously, which splatters everyone else with more dye, but does nothing for their dignity as now their fur is pink spikes instead of swirls.

Oondeen blushes charmingly at Wymarc's gallantry. "I would be delighted to meet up with you again. I'm sure they must have dancing *somewhere* in the city, even if the Grand Lodge is boring."

Bah, I forgot about that. Oondeen has a selective rod, so she doesn't have to learn the feat.

Is there a link for the remaster character sheet? I like the look of it and was hoping to try it out.

Oondeen grins. "Oh, look, playmates!" And drops a fireball in the middle.

FIRE, DC 22: 8d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 3, 5, 5, 1, 2) = 23

Oondeen moves up and opens the door for her companions.

The leshy eeps! and scurries behind her party members as the creatures advance. Since lightning seems to be working, she'll continue with that.

zzzzorch, Ref DC 17: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

I just typoed leshy into lushy and now I want to make a leshy drunken fighter.

Oondeen points at White Rose. "Yeah. What she said."

It's a fun scenario. :)

"*Someone* tried to kill a whole bunch of rats and set fire to the docks while they were at it. That was just *RUDE*!" says Zekki, quite indignantly. She takes a closer look at the barrel to see if there are any distinguishing marks or names.

"Squeak, squeeeeeak! Come back here, you stupid rats!" Zekki tries to call the creatures back to her Note: Zekki does not speak rat. She tries to take out the rat with the orange tail.

Devise a Strategem: 1d20 ⇒ 7

But with the cover, she doesn't think she can hit it. Aiming for the green one, she tries again.

dart nonlethal: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 2 = 11 for piercing: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

This time she pulls out her sling instead, for the greater range.

sling nonlethal: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 2 - 5 = 4 for piercing: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

And is largely ineffective.

◆ Draw
◆ Sling

I will be at Origins from this evening through Sunday night. Please bot as needed.

A small ysoki (ratfolk to larger folks) cheerfully joins the human at her table. She inhales deeply, enjoying the rich scent of the coffee. Smoothing down her short brown fur, she stuffs a biscuit into her mouth, licks her fingers, before smiling up at the taller woman.

"I'm Zekki, investigator extraordinaire. Pleased to meet ya! But I'm not sure I like the idea of a pelican's kiss. Pelicans are so messy and stinky and their cheek pouches are even bigger than mine!"

"Kala, you look fine. Don't worry about your dress." Oondeen almost pats the hunter on the shoulder, but changes her mind at the last moment as she catches sight of the badger? Weasel? too big for mink?

Oondeen grins at Wymarc, grabs his hand, and scampers towards the dance floor. "I'm all over a dance! Let's go!"

Perform (dance): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Day Job, Craft alchemy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22

Letting out a shriek as her grip fails, Kuikka reaches for the edge of the rocks.

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

With a gigantic klonk, she arrives at the bottom. "*wheeze* Ow. *wheeze* That. *wheeze* hurt. *wheeze*"

After a moment, she rolls over and stares up at the sky, then groaning, climbs to her feet. "I think I need to work on my climbing skills." She pulls a wand out of her pouch and pokes herself gently.

healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Still breathing heavily, Kuikka looks around. "Anything interesting down here?"

Perception, darkvision: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

"It's dangerous out there. Take this torch!" Kuikka hands Dwalin one of the torches on the wall and pulls out one from her pack. "I'm glad this is finally useful."

I will be away from my computer for a bit, so here's Kuikka's action. If the shadowy cloaked figure turns out to be dangerous, she will pull out her sling instead of a torch.

Kuikka reaches for her sword and mutters something uncomplimentary about busybody sheriffs and stupid town rules under her breath in Orc as she remembers that she doesn't have it (or any other weapon) right now. Unslinging her pack, she rummages around for a moment before emerging with a crowbar. "This'll have to do."

Move to rummage, move to grab

"I can actually cast that spell, but something to resist cold might be really handy." Lulari purchases a scroll of resist energy [cold]. 150 gp

Inclining her head regally, the samsaran introduces herself, "I am known as Lulari Bakash now. As my companions have said, we seek knowledge about the Jarlsblood Witch. Perhaps you can shed some light on this ritual . Is the linnorm hunt part of your religion or separate?"

Diplomacy +6 to aid, or Knowledge religion +11

Apologies for vanishing. I was traveling to visit my parents and I forgot how much they want to *do* things all the time. I'll check in later today once I get through my email for work.

Will post very soon, but I need to update my character.

Yes, druid witch MT. OK. I'll update her and bring her in shortly.

"Do you know what is affecting your daughter, so she is all bandaged up? We have some people with medical knowledge, if you would like us to take a look at her." Kuikka smiles with fewer teeth this time to hopefully appear less threatening.

"That was...descriptive..." Kuikka looks askance at the elf, but nods a greeting. "Kuikka. Paladin. Nice to meet you." There's an unspoken 'I think' hanging in the air.

BOUNTY CASTLE
I would love to, but I've thoroughly overcommitted myself and need to pull back just a bit. Thanks for all the fun!

Vaidra's nanites swirl out to return Chance's embrace and she smiles at the worlanesi. "Your words were just beautiful, Chance. I'm so pleased you could use them to calm the spirit."

To everyone else, Vaidra is less effusive, but thankful to have completed a successful mission.

Vaidra snorts. "Sucky machine indeed." She takes a look around to see if the squoxy things decided to hide something in their bedding.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Thinking back on the look she got before, she tries to determine anything else about it.

Engineering: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Krakazh stands up as tall as she can, which isn't very, but she does seem to gain in stature somehow. "We would be delighted to speak to our hosts in our capacity as negotiators." Putting her hat back on, Krakazh goes in search of the Russians.

Who are not hard to find, since they were following us. "As you may have noticed, we have met this witch you were telling us about. Now she claims to be the rightful ruler of this domain, but seems to be willing to negotiate. Would you meet with her so we can keep the bloodshed to a minimum? I like you all and would prefer to be able to visit you again." She smiles in a way that is obviously meant to be soothing, but the sharp teeth get in the way of that a little bit.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 Bah! HP time
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

At Chance's question, Vaidra frantically scrolls through messages on her datapad. "I could have sworn it said ship, not hospital, those words aren't terribly similar except for having an 'h' and an 'i' but that's no reason..." She falls silent and her shoulders slump. Snapping the case shut, she sighs. "Right. Hospital."

"What specifically should we be looking for? I don't know any more about hospitals than I do ships, but that doesn't seem to be an actual problem or you would have requested some knowhow. I hope."

"Great job, BUDI! Good use of initiative." Lego trundles over to their drone and gives them a good pep talk while checking them over for any damage they might have taken. They lapse into a very strange set of sounds after a while. Sounds like someone talking to a puppy or a toddler, though the words aren't really understandable.

Sounds like 3 for Kuikka and one each from Salvio and Malon. Thank you!

Krakazh decides to leave the hockey game to folks who have a better chance of staying upright and retires to the snow-covered banks to cheer for her compatriots.

If it would be better to play one of the games, Krakazh will join in cards again, but I don't think I can beat anyone who has already rolled.

Jayma: Slapping down her trump Ace after playing the Queen from dummy to force out the King from Shurin's hand to her right, allows Jayma to pull the remaining trump from her opponent's hands and claim the rest of the tricks.

Someone plays a lot of bridge. :D

Lego tries to jam the lock on the boss's trailer.

Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

"I don't know how long that will hold, so keep sharp."

An tiny ysoki appears out of nowhere behind Chrysanthemum. "Hi! I'm here to help Chrysanthemum in her academic needs. If you need anything science-ish, I'm your Research Rat!" Handing out cards to everyone, she steals a couple of decorative flowers off her employer's plate and grinning, vanishes into the background.

Chrysanthemum shrugs. "They came highly recommended on Absalom Station."

HMM reminded me I have a campaign coin for a reroll.

Piloting+vestments: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21

Oooh, I do have Vestments. One sec.

Sorry, I had the impression that it was more important, since you mentioned it.

Glad to see you again, Ulrich. I was playing Jyllian in the last game. :)

Works for me. Just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. :)

As she heads back to the battleground, Jyllian asks, "What focuseseses? The things we can touch? The children? I'm so confused..."

Back in her natural habitat (a Studebaker), the champion resumes demonstrating her style for the children.

Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

But she's still a little rattled from the circumstances she's found herself in.

"Oooooh, I've never been to the Maze before. This is going to be amazing! Hahahaha!!!" Krakazh dissolves into giggles at her pun. Wiping tears of laughter from her eyes, she asks, "What kind of things do we need to collect? Bugs, turtles, leaves, plants, bottles, incense, scales, toenails, actual nails, squirrels...." She is obviously planning to continue listing things until she runs out of ideas.

Jyllian's eyes get even wider as an animated rabbit toy shake her hand vigorously. <First children, now toys?! This is the craziest mission yet.>

Society +4

"I volunteer for the battleground." 'Obviously' is unvoiced, but definitely heard. "How long is this supposed to take anyway?" she asks Ulrich under her breath.

Sorry, I'm way behind on updating my stuff. Durg is up to date now. (She's actually 7th not 8th, which I'll update in rpgchronicles)

Zekki takes a quick look around the area to see if anything jumps out at them, then follows Griphook quietly through the narrow tunnels.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 low-light, scent
Acro to squeeze: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Unfortunately, she doesn't see the rock jutting out and whacks her toes sharply against it, yipping with pain.

A human-looking woman drifts down the road, barely paying attention to where her feet were going. She haphazardly pushes her long black hair back over her shoulders while attempting to keep her place in her book. Her eyes flick up to assess where she is and she makes a brief course correction before diving back into the text.

Kuikka moves closer in a semi-non-threatening manner (well, as non-threatening as a half-orc with a greataxe can get), and readies to smack the goon if he doesn't follow Howirk's instructions. Non-threateningly.

Kuikka puts the B in suBtle.

Zekki looks at the giant pod, at her hands, at the pod again, then sighs. She searches out some random pieces of metal and twine, kitbashing them into something that might help move it where Heraxia wants it.

Crafting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Crafting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Who knew you could build a forklift out of 2 slabs of wood and some rope?

Zekki patches up whoever needs it.

Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 for healing: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 for healing: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 2) = 10 (nope)
Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 for healing: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 (nope)
Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 for healing: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7
Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 for healing: 2d8 ⇒ (6, 7) = 13

Zekki is getting a workout on her Thievery skills today.

Thievery: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 (BOOM!!)
