Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

busy weekend, family medical issues, work issues, I'm considering asking if I can leave and join back After the 21st of next month when peak season ends at my work so very sorry for the delays I've caused so far Michel looks shocked and somewhat confused at the chaos and his hand goes immiedietly to the pommel of his blade but he does not draw it yet, he frantically looks around for his sister to make sure she isn't in danger.

Some time after the beginnings of the protest a young man wearing flip fine silks of red and gold quickly moves towards it. The man has red hair and yellow eyes, his completion is fair with a few freckles here and there and he moves with grace, each step flowing into the next. Beside him is a woman with similar a similar figure, long flowing hair and green eyes. On their way in they could be heard bickering, the female voice can be heard first "I swear if you make us late one more time" "are you daft, you were the one who made us late, how can you possibly take so much time on your hair, I took six seconds and a cantrip and it's that perfect wind blown handsome look, you can even clean and sent it that way" "look I'm going to try to find my friends try not to make an ass of yourself" "no promises". The woman sighs and smiles saying "take care of yourself" "right back at ha sis" before they split up.
Michel scans the crowd trying to find someone he recognizes and trying to figure the mood of the mob.

Whatever you say, Glamorous. : )

*mumbles something about lying Kitsune*

see now that's racist

Which brings up another question (this one is directed at you, the DM.

Would it be better if my being kitsune is secret (perhaps a rather porly kept one) or if I were furry most of the time.

You could know Juniper if you like, she's not a noble but she did spend a lot of time in Docur's School

cool, things to know if you were his friend from school,

Michel is smart, but lazy he's a capable fencer and enjoys going to the theater. He likes to joke around and is good at convincing people to do things but isn't very politically minded.
He's also an unrepentant flirt, and is fully aware that he looks good (perhaps a little too aware)


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

They're who I was asking :P


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Could Michel know one of the other party members, preferably one of the other nobles or maybe the kitty (I'm a fox!)


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Hey everyone
I'm checking in,
I'm planing on playing as a kitsune bard with the minor noble trait.

Unfortunately I will not be able to download the player's guide until Saturday because of work I'm mostly using my phone, so half of the questions for us to fill out make little sense time.


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

I somehow completely forgot about my favorite race as soon as people started talking about custom races, while it would be more fun to spend my first level on the template, I think I'll be fine with a kitsune
derp
I think I'll reuse this alias,

In other news, Taunk needs to start searching for a doctor pretty soon here. How should I go about getting that information GM?

i have cure spells, why do you need a medic?

As to the vote thingy, Michel kinda wants to either make his way to a bigger vilage, or bring more creature comforts here,
Other than that, he'll go with whatever you guys decide.

Plastic could also work, whether clear planes resembling glass or a simple transparent tarp could do in a pinch
I'll fix my roll in a bit

Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Sure, time skip till such a time as we have indoor plumbing


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

After work Michel could be seen banging on the mayor's door or wherever he is "velly! Hey Velly! Mr mayor! We have a problem!"
When/if he opens the door the bard continues "I was looking to have a bit of fun after working so hard, and I looked around, and this place has no booze!"


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

I'm good,
I'm going to need to learn enhance water ASAP though


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Is there any place that food is stored centrally?
Does anyone even have booze? I don't care, to Michael though, finding out that a dolling doesn't have booze would go against the natural order of things
He doesn't get drunk often, but to him booze being present is essential for a community feel, especially in smaller communities


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Does wherever the food is served (assuming there is such a place) have any alchohol?
If not is there any starchy or sugary foods grown locally?


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

For the next couple days Michel settles into a learnt routine in town, he gets to work at around town at about 7-8ish, works for about 8 hours, then spends an hour hunting, afterwards he can be found at whatever passes for a bar around town playing music and hitting on people (generally women, but if a man who looked charasmatic enough he might on a whim use his tallent for shapeshifting)
If there somehow isn't a bar, he'll drop what he's doing with the plumbing and get on that, casting enhance watter and becoming the barkeeper.
know engeneering for day I was absent: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 engineering for today: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
I'd very much prefer there to already be a bar, also sorry for my absence, I got a promotion at work though woo!


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

I can't wait for Michel to be told the tale of your grand adventure,
He'll probably compose a ballad


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

He's doing construction for the next 6 hours or so, so unless someone seeks him out, no I really can't.


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

What would make it better would be if a security camera caught it on film


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

What would be halarious would be if you just stood there after calling out your ability and throwing the bomb,


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Michel again lifts heavy things the next day


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Hmm
With that he'd tell you he'd first ask if he'd get some kind of fancy title, and then regardless of the answer he'd tell you he'd have to think about it
He'd get back to you in the morning with an answer of "yes"


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Hmm, it would depend on how you presented it to him
He came here to escape the resposabilities of leadership, after all
People depending on him scares him, he fears screwing up when people depend on him
However he is visibly working to keep the town safe, build it up to a more live able level, and heal the sick and wounded, and he likes talking to people
know (engineering): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Should I do a strength or knowledge engeneering check to do better than 5%
I have a high strength and am trained in know (engeneering) (only one rank but still)


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Once he finishes his volonteered chore of the day he shakes himself off and asks anyone who happened to be neerby "hey has anyone seen the Orc or the expirament dude? I've not seen them in a while."


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

My Wishlist: ring of seven lovely colors, boots of earth, adamanite blades for the Axe, ring of evasion, flask of endless sake, animal totem tattoo, a gun.


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Michel will help with anything simply requireing muscle, and can take simple to moderate instruction, so he can help with that last part!
Say, about 5-6 hours of work?


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Is/are the gauntlet(s) a matched pair, or just the one?
Also why does my shield generator make me better at attacking?
What is the physical description for the the class mod for bards? Is it up to me? If it's up to me I'm thinking mithril guitar strings
Does the class mod, shield generator and/or gauntlet take up any slots?
Does the gauntlet impart the frost property to my claw(s) or to my weapon?
Are the weapons regular, masterwork or +1 quality


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"what makes you think I'm related to vampires? I mean I can kind of see the comparison to the ware wolf, but they're stupid, which makes me better,

identifying spoils of war:
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29A blue gauntlet
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17, a purple Kama
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13, a yellow glowing sling,

Ring and shield generator apparently pre-identified?


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"I wouldn't think the specifics on that last one would be available... I could be wrong, you seem more knowledgeable on the subject matter than I


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"if I might ask, who set the bounty? That way if you want we could back up your statement to them that he's not here"


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"hail and well met newcomers, I do hope you come in peace, the last group didn't and things didn't go all that well for them, as I'm sure you can see with your own eyes"


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

1): yes
2): if I want to be
3): uh I can heal people and would be rather difficult to put me down in the attempt... Poison might work, but then the locals would also be eating it if they ate me, plus balto would be super pissed at you
4): I'm good enough at hunting to not need bait, and I'm a decent cook,
5): heal them, unless I was the one to make them start bleading out in the first place.
If I don't like them, and the thing of value is shiny I might then take it
6): mock you continually for having to be rescued from a scag,
Of course I'd rescue you anywas, but mostly I'd laugh
I'd probably eat the scag afrerwards
7: I'd say probably lazyness,
8: I could start describing tastes but you don't have a tongue, so it's difficult finding the words.
The sylvan word for robot directly translates to "clank" the onomonapeia of two pieces of metal hitting each other

9 (alergies): I sometimes get a mild rash when exposed to silver or mithril


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"I shapeshifted my fingerprints to be ubrecogonizeable as me, and I didn't talk when I wrote it.. Not because I was trying to prevent spittal, but because I just don't talk when I write most of the time.. but I didn't think to prevent the rest of it though, so that's probably how they got me... with powerful magics you could still be found even with a plan as conveluted as that, but the useual plan for powerful magics is to be unworthy of note, because powerful magics are rare and have to be used to actively used... Thanks for the advice though... I wonder if I could shapeshift my DNA different... I've never tried... Not sure how I could try really...so probably no..."


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"they can get my DNA from a note? I thought you neaded like hair or blood or something, "


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"Naw I had him book himself using cash and a handwritten note... Maybe they saw me transform next door? Or had some kind of handwriting recognition dohicky, or they have some kind of divination, I don't know, though just on reaction mass required, I checked, and even put together me and balto are within what we were allowed to weigh"


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"wait, I was on the list? Let me see that..." if he is shown the registry Michel looks confused "wait, how was I on the list? How did they know my name? And my form? And I'm labeled "precious cargo"? That doesn't make any sense I snuck on at the last second. There should be no way to know prior to takeoff that I was even going to be there, and even if they learned during takeoff, how did they get my name?"


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Ah, well in that case Michel is going to be very suprised, rather confused, and a bit nervous

Do we identify this stuff with spellcraft? Know (engeineering)? Craft? Some other fourth thing?


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Aww I wanted him to think Michel was the experiment because he didn't show up on the logs... Ah well


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

perception (scag hunt): 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26 includes scent
perception (salvage): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36unsure whether or not I should add scent, he also can see in the dark (so long as it isn't magical) and cast detect magic,
balto aid another?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25edit: huh well those are some extreme rolls on both ends of the spectrum
during the hunt for scags Michel mostly let's balto colect them and consequently doesn't get as many as he would if he actually tried, but when he goes through the salvage he put quite a bit of actual effort into the search.
Michel is also sure to cast purify food and drink over each one, not wanting to risk the likelihood that one or several of them were carrying some kind of disease.


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Just a note, Michel was a stowaway (unless that got changed) Balto, his animal companion (intelegance 6) was transported basically as cargo, animal transport, service dog, whatever, because it's in character for Michel to think it funny if he could cheer the system and get in cheeper
It would also make it more difficult for his people to track him down and hire or assign someone to colect him and make him live up to his responsabilities
This is why in the opening scene he was hiding as a tiny fox and wasn't strapped down and got knocked unconscious from flying accross the room
Note this doesn't actually affect his starting gold in any way, and if you want to retcon it, that's perfectly fine


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"I'm strong, I can do some magics, mostly healing,and my eyes, ears, and nose are all sharper than a human or elf's," the large fox at his side barks twice and pats the groud with one of his front paws "oh and balto wants me to tell you that he eats eats things, which makes him an asset"


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"We should probably also accept the rat job, we'll be sure to find some on the way, and we might as well make a little extra coin"


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

"I don't condone killing the family and pets of the bandits, not unless they join in on the fighting


Male Greater Kitsune Bard(arcane duelist) 2 ]

Sure, sure
