Mikaela Solange's page

As always, I appreciate you running the game @Gustavef!

As of the rest of you, thanks for the RP and the really fun game.

Chronicle looks great!

"Agreed. I think we have done what we were asked to do and more."

Mikaela knelt beside Katami and pulled out the flask of healing potion that her friends in the Society had given her. She poured it into Katami's mouth, then held it closed so the healing potion would have a chance to work.

healing: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Looks like Vanak might have already taken out my target. If so, I'll move into the dining room and flank with Keemul instead.

Mikaela sidestepped to put the nearest zombie between her and Arvax, then dove in with both knives, slashing at flesh and tendons.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
S damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
attack: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 4 = 15
S damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

A - move
A - attack
A - attack

Mikaela grinned at the zombies, though she knew she needed to either put one down quick or get help from somewhere, because this was about to get ugly. She slashed high, aiming for the zombie on the left, driving the point of her right hand dagger into its torso and ripping sideways.

twin feint1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
S damge: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
twin feint2 vs FF: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 4 = 8
S damge: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 1 = 8
attack 3: 1d20 + 9 - 8 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 8 = 20
S damge: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

AA - twin feint
A - strike

@GM - I think Mirtha's token never got moved. She indicated she was moving to the center of the group, but is still in the hall entry to the main hall. I think if she were to have moved, then the zombies would be against Mikaela.

Confirm?

Hearing Mirtha, Mikaela decided to simply wait, blades in hand, for the zombies to come to them, give the gnome a chance to weaken them all, then assault what was left.

Delaying until after the zombies have gone

"Watch out around the edges of that hole. If it collapsed because it was rotten, you might fall in if you get close."

perception, floor: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Mikaela will carefully search the kitchen, unaware of what is going on back in the main hall.

Mikaela called back, "Some sort of haunted spirits here. I needc someone with a bit more knowledge of undead and spirits to send them back to their rest, or maybe some bagpipes to drown them out?"

religion, untrained: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20

"Look here. Some kind of alchemical or necromantic recipes. Not my forte, but I imagine they are in line with what we were sent to look for."

Mikaela moved further into the room as she explored, looking into what looked like a study, and then a kitchen.

Peer into both for signs of danger, then investigate Study, then Kitchen, following standard search for traps/danger then seek out info process

When Katami suggests the library, Mikaela nodded and moved over to inspect the doorway and then the library itself.

If no traps, then open the door to the library and look around

Mikaela chatted with locals about the Mavedarus estate, getting some information and some rumors - the two were generally mutually exclusive - and preparing herself for the last of their trials. "Unstable structure, hauntings, and possibly old alchemical experiments? Best be on our toes."

Mikaela will definitely be actively searching as she approaches and enters the house. Primarily she is looking for dangers such as unstable footing or walls about to collapse, but also for any other signs of danger such as traps or unhappy inhabitants.

Mikaela leaped over the now-dead cacodaemon in front of her, and ran to the one with blue markings. She slashed high with her left hand, then low with her offhand strike, both blades flashing in at the same time.

twin feint1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
S damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
twin feint1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 vs Flat Footed
S damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (2) = 8

A - move
A - strike
A - strike

Mikaela moved into flank the nearest cacodaemon, drawing her knives as she went. Slipping in behind it, she thrust upwards into its bulbous body.

attack, flank: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
P damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (2) = 8
attack2, flank: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 4 = 23
P damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (2) = 8

A - move
A - quick strike
A - quick strike

Mikaela moved tot eh nearest person, her colorful scarves out in full force and a big smile on her face. "What's going on here? Why all the shouting?"

diplomacy, if needed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

society: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

The coat of arms tells Mikaela nothing, but apparently it does to Katami.

"Interesting. A Taldan navy vessel with a creature from Nex aboard? Well, as long as we have what we need, I say we let the Venture-Captains decide what to do with it. And we should definitely mention him...it, whatever. It needs to not be left here to sink beneath the waves again. That would be too cruel. On to the next place, I suppose."

Mikaela had her daggers in hand as they moved down into the lower hold of the ship. She scanned left and right, trying to make out shapes in the gloom. When she spotted the creature staring out of the ancient gun ports, she drew back, hiding herself and indicating to the others that there was danger ahead.

stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Mikaela puts her knives away and moved up to Tawar. "Care to explain what you were thinking, pulling that kind of stunt? This whole place could have been overrun by shadows, or those wisp things. If we hadn't come along, I'm sure you and your friends here would have been devoured by some ancient evil. Or just planar rifts that snapped back into place leaving half the city in ruins. well, what do you have to say?"

Mikaela moved up the stairs, stuck behind the others but in a position to pull both of her dagger. She looks around at the top of the stairs, then sprints in to put herself between the wisp and one of the ritual participants. Unsure of what to do, she swung out at the wisp, trying to bat it out of the air with her magical blade.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
B damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"What do you think? Do we bother to look through the second floor? Or just head straight upstairs? I'm all for going straight for the target."

"Looks like we have our work cut out for us. With a little prioritization based on immediate consequences, it seems like our best course of action is to handle the ritualist first, followed by the shipwreck, then the haunted house, and finally the petrified pathfinder."

"Thank you , Master Gorm. The healing scroll might come in very useful."

Mikaela was happy with the night's events, and her part in them. It seemed that she was on her way to becoming a first rate Pathfinder...assuming she survived her first few missions.

Mikaela moved from group to group, listening and trying to see what each person might be interested in. It seemed that Valais was primarily interested in tales of pathfinder agents and recruits going out of their way to sever their fellows.

"Hello Valais, I am Mikaela. I have been trained as a forward scout and procurer. Between saving some pathfinders on the Spirit Road, and flushing out a false Pathfinder in Osiria, I think the Society has prepared me well for advanced scouting and infiltration. I'd like to talk with you more about how sending scouting groups ahead of main Pathfinder teams might alleviate some of the pain points I've encountered in my own training missions. Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance, and all that."

Mikaela chatted with Valais for a bit before taking the cue to move along.

------------------

Mikaela next moved to the leader of her own faction, Fola Barun, who was engaged in discussion with a large man with many jeweled rings on his fingers. She caught Fola's eye, and nodded as the other woman indicted the halfling beside her. Mikaela moved up to the halfling, then past, then whipped off her scarves as soon as she was out of the man's sight and went back up to him. "I couldn't help but hear your earlier conversation about deceptive tactics. I too have focused heavily on deception during my training. Sometimes, all it takes is a bit of color to distract someone's mind from the obvious." She flourished her now-removed yellow and blue scarves and smiled. "Mikaela Solange, at your service. I apprenticed under Fola Barun, and though I have already had use to put my infiltration skills into practice in the field, this is the first Initiation Celebration I have been able to attend."

She chatted with the halfling as long as the man had interest before moving on.

deception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

----------------------------

"Ah, Dean Shane! I was hoping to run into you here. I know I was not one of your more adept pupils at the esoteric lore of scholarship and magical runes, but did you ever give thought about my suggestion to incorporate more background on infiltration and assassination into your classes? I know Pathfinders aren't typically involved in assassinations directly, but we've prevented more then a few. I think having that information to hand might make everyone a little more adept at that aspect, don't you?"

assassination lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Sorry for the quietude. I got slammed at work, then a minor emergency this weekend, followed by getting nastily ill. I'm trying to play catchup, but can't remain vertical for more than an hour or two at a time.

Mikaela was a dark-haired Varisian woman who looked as if she could blend in at just about any function. The dark brown and gray leathers she wore were perfect for infiltration in the darkness, while the colorful scarves and jewelry made sure that the bright colors would be what was remembered. A petite woman, Mikaela stood shorter than almost everyone around her, except the gnomes and halflings, of course. The batons that rode on her hip showed that she wasn't averse to knocking about with the brawlers, though, if it came to it.

Mikaela had a ready smile for anyone she met, though the observant could tell that the smile was as much a part of her outfit as the scarves, and as easy to remove.

I think it's called that because you can't actually make a blank post, so people just put in a period to make it work.

It's actually because once you post in the Gameplay thread, if you look at the https://paizo.com/community/forums/campaigns/playByPost forum there will be a "dot" next to the threads you are participating in.

Over the years, people have just "dotted" in and it has become part of the lexicon :)

@GM Gustavef - I recently added some of your slides' capabilities to my standard deck (imitation, flattery, you get it). I did make a minor change that made things a TON easier for me and my players that you might want to consider.

Instead of having all the templated read "PLAYER", set it up so that each player has their own template (e.g., PLAYER1, PLAYER2, etc.) That way the players (and you) can just search and replace once instead of typing the player name a dozen times.

Player Name/Alias (for Chronicle): bigrin42
Character Name: Mikaela Solange
Org Play and Character Number: 52459-2003

Downtime Activity and roll(s): Assassin Lore 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

I would like to play with Mikaela, Level 2 rogue infiltration specialist.

@GM - That one looks good, thanks.

And thank you for running this game. It was enjoyable.

Maybe it's just mine, but my Chronicle sheet doesn't have the required event, event code, date, GM signature, or GM #

"Time to roll out, folks. Say a prayer for the fallen while you pant for air. We need to run!" Mikaela helped grab whatever she could and encouraged the horse to move swiftly. She doubted it needed the encouragement, giving what was stepping over the field walls just outside the village.

"In case I wasn't clear enough, if it comes down to a choice of staying and negotiating with that undead horde for the return of the remains of those we found, or taking what we have now and running, then I could use the exercise!"

"Don't forget the personal effects and the bodies, if we can manage the last."

"Right. Load it on the cart with the rest of the things and let's get out of here. I enjoyed putting that necromancer down, but I don't think hanging around here much longer would be a good idea. Let's roll!"

Mikaela moved up and struck the nearest skeleton with one baton, then came from underneath with the other, trying to pop the skeleton's head off its body.

attack1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
B damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
attack2 vs FF: 1d20 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 5 = 18

Mikaela stood and grabbed her batons off the floor. "Thanks, Hornitelle, that felt...interesting."

She was back and ready to fight, though a little more cautious now.

Pick up both dropped weapons and stand

When the map went down, it seems that people stopped posting (or slowed down a lot). Are you guys having trouble keeping up with where we are and what is going on? Let's not stall out now!

If that is 2 separate attacks, and you didn't forget the MAP, then Mikaela is down.

I am back now, thanks for mot getting me killed.

fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Mikaela fought against the necromancer's spell, moving to pincer him between her and her allies. Then, she slammed her baton right up between the man's legs. Laugh at her, will he?

attack, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 CRIT for 16 damage!
B damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1) + 2 = 8
attack, flanking: 1d20 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 5 = 12
B damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8

MIkaela made a beeline for the necromancer, dropping her left baton and grabbing at the man's wrist and swinging her other club at him.

grapple: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
attack: 1d2 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 5 = 2
B damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (2) = 6

Trying to give plenty of notice. I will be on family vacation Wed-Sun, with limited (no?) internet. Please bot me if you need to keep things going.

Can't access ditzie at the moment, so hopefully this works.

Mikaela glared at the goblin as the statue came crashing down and broke into pieces. "That's coming out of your share of the loot, TokTok!" She pulled her other baton free and moved quickly to the nearest foe, slamming her baton out.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
B damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"Actually, pretty boy, I think you're the one that's going to be joining them. On the ground. I see you lasting, what, maybe thirty seconds against my friends here?"

"Is that everywhere? Are we done here?"

Mikaela mentally went through the rooms in her mind, trying to make sure they hadn't missed anything. She was pretty sure they hadn't.

"Let's be off then. Everyone grab a corner." Mikaela moves in across from Johann and gets ready to carry the statue out.

"Need to be quick about it. That horde's gotta be getting close now.

Mikaela strides to the next door, checks it, then opens it.

perceptiopn: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

map

Can you zoom in ditzie? I haven't been able to find controls to do so.

Apparently my map change didn't stick. Grumble

Mikaela stepped sideways to the remaining centipede and lashed out with her batons.

Twin feint makes the foe flat footed against 2nd attack
