Milos Hasek's page

Milos was extremely nervous as he climbed down the ladder to leave the ship once they arrived in port. He removed his armour and lowered it down by rope before attempting the ladder. He had learned through traumatic experience just how tricky they could be! Ladders featured in his nightmares for some time afterwards.

Milos was very pleased to have freed slaves on his very first field mission. This was what he had dreamed about doing! He looked forward to his next expedition. First, however, he need to prepare for his lecture on Shoanti burial mounds.

I'm assuming that the mission has finished.
Day Job Roll, Profession (Teacher): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

edit: I'm happy to turn them in.

"I don't know the laws here well, but they did assault us while we were lawfully seizing this ship for Failure to fully declare cargo value for taxation," Milos replied. "I tire of bloodshed. I'm happy to them in.

Milos searched the bodies and hold for anything they had missed.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Milos brought down the last of the slavers (not counting the sleeping half-elf). There was no time to catch his breath - the shout of Fire! rang out. Milos followed his teammates to help as best he could. He wasn't sure what to do, so he tried to follow their example.

Survival: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3

"Slaver Scum!", Milos shouted at the captain. You should have surrendered when you had the chance!" He stepped back and brought his weapon around again.

Lucerne Hammer, Bless, Legacy Weapon: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d12 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14

Milos does indeed have Combat Reflexes

Milos saw a door swing open out of the corner of his eye. He swung his polearm around to try to strike the advancing captain with the hammerhead.

Aoo, Bless, Legacy Weapon: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d12 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 = 12

He stepped back and stabbed at the kukri wielding villain.

Lucerne Hammer, Bless, Legacy Weapon: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d12 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16

Milos swung his polearm desperately as the beast moved towards him.
I should point out that the Troll Hound could take a 5' step to avoid the Aoo.

AoO, Bless, Legacy Weapon: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d12 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Milos moved quickly to join the battle in the hold. He stabbed at the Troll Hound with all his might, trying to stop it from attacking the unconscious Ogrim. However, he caught his weapon on the mast, ruining his attack.

Lucerne Hammer, Bless, Legacy Weapon: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d12 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9

Milos concentrated his thoughts on the vest he was wearing - it had been in his family for generations, yet was in remarkably good condition - he willed the psychic power he had infused into it to flow through his arms and into his weapon. With a further flicker of thought, he felt a tingling in his legs, then he moved across the deck and down the stairs with surprising speed.

Standard Action: Legacy Weapon (+1 enhancement bonus for one minute), Swift Action: Sudden Speed (+30 land speed for one minute), Move Action: move 50 ft).

Milos heard the sound of cracking wood, followed by a crash below as the section of the deck on his right gave way. I need to watch my footing, he noted nervously to himself. He stepped back carefully and swung the blunt end of his weapon at the gnoll in front of him.

5ft step back, Attack

Lucerne Hammer, Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Milos swung his polearm around quickly as the gnoll moved towards his leader.

Lucerne Hammer,Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Milos moved to flank Curtzog. "You'll pay for that!", he snarled as he thrust the long spike on the end of his polearm at the villain who injured his teammate. He stumbled at the last moment and the attack went wide.

Attack: Lucerne Hammer, Bless, Flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Kelumur shouldn't take TWF penalties on a charge, should he? (only one attack)

Having moved from Vancouver to Toronto, and then back again, I know how much work that is! I'm surprised you have any time to post!

"It's been made very clear that we need to capture this ship before it gets into port," Milos replied. "Who's with me?"

"I don't think it's just coincidence that 'Kat' is 'at' with a K at the beginning, and 'Season' is 'Sea' with s-o-n added at the end, " Milos replied. "Hervey, Tenebri - you said you thought there were extra letters added. Is that right?"

Milos talked to the others in a low voice: "If this is really the At Sea, then, as I understand it, we are within our rights to seize the ship and collect the bounty."

I'm assuming that the crew aren't close to us at this point

Soaking wet, Milos climbed up right after Kelumur. He looked around to assess the situation.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Mostly, his assessment was that he looked like an amateur.

Milos struggled to reach the ladder again.

Swim: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Grabbing hold again, he tried to climb a third time.

Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The third time was not a charm, and he fell yet again.

Haven't rolled higher than a 4 to climb!

Milos redoubled his efforts to swim over and reach the ladder.

Swim: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

With a burst of strength he grabbed the ladder and tried to climb up.

Should I wait till next round to climb? If I climb this round:

climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The effort was too much and he fell back into the water again. How can anyone climb these ladders?, he thought, starting to panic a bit.

@GM Turmoil-How many checks should I make on future rounds now that I'm in the water? Also, do I slip underwater on a Swim 10 or less?

Milos strained to make out details in the darkness.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

He carefully got up and climbed up the ladder after Tenibri.

climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 extra +1 from enhanced strength (resonant power)

Unfortunately, he lost his grip and fell into the water.

Swim: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Struggling in his bulky armor, he couldn't quite swim back to the ladder.

Milos placed his pack and weapon in the rowboat, then climbed in carefully and sat down, grabbing a pair of oars. He was rather nervous, not having rowed before. The fact that he wasn't a confident swimmer didn't help either. "OK, ready as I'll ever be," he said apprehensively.

Milos handed the letter to Ms. Ginsi. "Ma'am," he said with a slight bow. He idly looked out the window while he waited for her to read it. He tried not to let on that he didn't much care for the fishy smell.

We didn't specify who had the letter, but for simplicity I'll assume Milos was carrying it.

"Thank you, you can count on us," Milos replied, standing up and preparing to depart.

Milos felt excited as he listened to Lady Darchana speak of the pirate's base. I could be part of shutting down a portion of the slave trade!, he thought to himself. "It sounds like time is of the essence. We need to get out to where the At Sea is anchored and board it! Perhaps going under the cover of night would be best. Milady, do you have any recommendation on where we could find a small boat to take us there tonight?"

"I don't know if this is relevant at all, but is seems that Mr. Mahdi is paying protection money to a local group called The Sanguine Beast," Milos added. "He also mentioned that Waheeda Wardak is an infrequent supplier, and that he was expecting a shipment from her tomorrow, including the Pathfinder."

"Greetings, Lady Darchana; I am Milos Hasek," Milos replied. "We learned from Lady Silviana's solicitor that the handmaiden was acquired from a chattel merchant named Mahjub Mahdi. When we questioned Mr. Mahdi, he told us that the slave had been bought from a ship captain: Waheeda Wardak. Her ship, the At Sea, is due to arrive with a new shipment sometime later today. Mr. Mahdi is expecting there to be an enslaved Pathfinder agent on board. We, uh, convinced Mr. Mahdi to give us a ledger, which should have some useful information."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
I'm assuming that I have to make the Diplomacy check myself.

Milos replied to Tenibri, "We absolutely must free the Pathfinder agent! I'm all for freeing as many other slaves as possible, too."

Milos left Lady Dimora's estate, frustrated by Milana's intransigence. "I think we should have a look at that ledger," he suggested to the others.

Milos considers for a moment, and then asks, "Milana, would it be possible for us to question the handmaiden? It would be very helpful."

"Greetings, Milana. I am Milos Hasek," Milos replied, bowing. "I am a Pathfinder agent, as are my associates. We have been asked to look into the unfortunate event at Lady Darchana's recent social function. It is my understanding that her handmaiden was found to be in possession of a magical sensor, which has caused considerable concern. I wonder if we might have a moment of your time."

"Thank you - a sensible decision. Good day," [b]Milos said to Mahdi, before leaving his establishment.

Milos remarked to Untir, [b]"It sounded like it was possible that the ship could be already here, but I agree that we should talk to the Majordomo before going to the docks."

After listening to his friends' denunciations of the practice of slavery, Milos was inspired to join in."All men and women are born free. To own another person is a travesty and a stain on one's soul. We are all brothers and sisters; do not listen to those that would tell you that any one of us is above the others or lesser than the others."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

It sounds so much better when they say it, he thought to himself. "We should go through that ledger before we investigate the ship, I think," he remarked to his compatriots.

With his transmutation implements's resonant power adding +2 Strength, Milos can carry about 48 lbs more than what he has now. He would be glad to carry some extra.

Can someone point me to where I would find the Liberty's Edge faction goals?

Milos waited to see if any of his companions wanted to apply further 'pressure' on Mahdi. They seemed to be more adept at difficult social situations than he was.

With gear Milos weighs about 285 lbs.

Milos smiled and replied to Mahdi, "A wise choice - we'll take it from here." A chance to shut down some slavers - now that's what I'm talking about! he thought to himself. Time to strike a blow for Freedom!

Milos scowled. "Perhaps we should invite Mr. Mezuk to come back..."

Milos added, "The slave in question was a young woman purchased to serve as a handmaiden. What can you tell us about her background?"

Diplomacy (aid another): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 if he can help here

"Well done - you two have silver tongues!", Milos said to Orgrim and Untir. "I thought we were going to have to beat them into submission." Perhaps I should let them make the inquires, he thought to himself.

Milos considered the Thug's words. That would save us some trouble, he thought to himself. He turned to his companions to gauge their reactions; he raised his eyebrows as if to ask, "what do you think?"

Thanks, I didn't know you could do that!

GM Turmoil, should write my IC posts in past or present tense? I've seen it done both ways.

Sorry if that's the wrong place for it - when I put Mental Focus in my transmutation implement, it increases one physical stat by +2, as long as there's at least 3 points invested (in this case +2 str). If it's distracting I'll put it in the body of my profile. I'm new to PBP so please let me know if I should be doing something differently.

Milos grinned and said, "We have matters to discuss with Mr. Mahdi, so this is our business - I insist."

Hearing voices on the other side of the door, Milos moved up and opened it, ready for trouble.

Milos moved into the room to the left of the table, looking around. "I don't recognize that statue. Does it mean anything to anyone else?", he asked.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Milos approached the building, inspecting the damage and listening for signs of activity. "Was it Mr. Mahdi that decided he is closed, or someone else?", he wondered aloud.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

"Time to pay a visit to Mr. Mahdi, I think," Milos said to the other Pathfinders. "Thank you for your time, sir," he continued to Mr. Salbus. I'll give that slave trader the respect he deserves, all right.
