Miranda Andegar's page

Excellent scenario! I'm surprised we didn't actually find the witch, but I assume there'll be a followup scenario where we'll get the chance to take him/her down! :)

Miranda searches her mind for the information as well.
Nature: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (11) + 0 = 11 but also doesn't know anything useful.

Miranda nods at Okh. "He's right, it would be useful to know how you were able to control the creatures. Please, tell us."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Just to confirm, is the 14 damage a doubling of the 7 damage listed above, because of the crit? Just want to make sure.

Miranda nods thankfully at Erevan, and infuses some healing energy into her own hand, laying it upon her chest and healing herself a bit. Heal for 6.

Then she turns her attention to the mite that attacked her (yellow), swinging her starknife twice at it.
starknife: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
starknife: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 5 = 22 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 crit damage, deadly d6: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + (5) = 11

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Miranda swings at the thing on her with her Starknife, trying to dislodge and kill it. It doesn't look like I take any additional penalties on my attacks for being grappled by the thing, but if I do, feel free to adjust accordingly :)
starknife: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 1 = 20 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
starknife 2: 1d20 + 7 - 5 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 5 - 1 = 16 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
starknife 3: 1d20 + 7 - 10 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 - 10 - 1 = 9 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Phew, even Chulyin's minimum healing was enough to take me back to full, thanks Chulyin!

Yeouch! Half my HP drained from a single round!

Miranda steps forward and stabs at the mutant bloodseeker with her starknife.
starknife: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Then she raises her shield to keep it and the mites from sticking her.

Miranda is getting very concerned about the seeming magical forces that are affecting these people ad causing them to stand and be drained of blood by the giant bugs.

"Yes, please show us this door. We must take care of this problem, before more like yourself are drained."

Satisfied that the pup will be okay, Miranda turns, steps toward and swings her starknife twice at the remaining bug.

starknife: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 crit damage!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

starknife 2: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 5 = 8 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The goblin has understood everything. The paladin is a great animal protector. Now that’s all clear.

Is truth. :)

Miranda will rush over to the poor pup and use her hands to heal him.
Double move, then Puppy heals 6 points.

"So strange... perhaps this is all some sort of ruse? Who would go to such elaborate lengths?"

HAHA I love it. He should definitely ride the calf.

Miranda offers the man a hand, helping him stand up. "We will find whatever did this to you and remove its influence, I promise you. Please, any information you might have will be most helpful."

"Ewww... it looks as if this could be the source of the bugs, don't you think, friends?"

Miranda will actively search for dangers nearby.
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Nature: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12

Miranda tries to navigate, but it isn't REALLY her thing.
Survival: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18 Surprisingly, she is able to see a lot more than she thought.

"Agreed, I think heading into the forest is our next step. Unfortunately, I don't think that the number of mosquitos will be LESS as we venture into more wild territory. This will be uncomfortable, to say the least."

Ah, thanks. Getting confused. :)

Miranda smiles at the excitable gnome. "I'm sure your pastries are scrumptious, but we're on a mission for the moment. This Mordha Lyons... where might we find her?"

Miranda leaps into action, literally, attempting to jump onto the out-of-control cart, heedless of danger, and try to extract a frightened passenger.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Since I have 2 hero points, I'm going to use one to reroll that.
reroll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 Much better.

If it seems that the man can be of use, Miranda will try to reason with him, speaking slowly and carefully.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
"What can you tell us that might help us find the way to those people who died? Any little details could help."

Miranda is appalled at the way that the cultist was dealt with, but can't fault their thoroughness, at the same time. She stays silent.

Miranda gets a hard look in her eyes at the mention of cults of pestilence-focused deities. "If this is happening because of the worship of some horrid demon or other foul creature, we will remove their influence, I assure you."

"You poor man, it seems you're being stalked by this witch in your dreams! We will get to the bottom of it, I assure you!"

To her colleagues, Miranda whispers "I do not believe he is sane... but perhaps we should consider using him as a sort of bait? If this Mosquito Witch is actually coming to him in his dreams, we may be able to use that..."

"Oh, were we not going to..." Miranda muses, looking at the farmhouse. "Alright, well, at least we saved the calf."

I'm confused as to why we aren't looking around the farm in more detail... I feel like this calf can't be the only thing we were meant to find here.

Miranda will try to lead the calf along with the party, hopefully to find it some shelter on our way to the farmhouse.
Nature (untrained): 1d20 ⇒ 4 If she is unable to do so, she will give it a small hug around the neck and continue on, hoping the party can take care of the insect problem quickly.

Haha I love it, Okh!

"That's... odd. This spot on the calf... it looks curiously like that doll we were given..." she pulls out the doll (or asks whoever happened to be carrying it to do so. "What on Golarion do you think that might mean? Do you think the calf could lead us to the witch? Chulyn, do you have a way to speak with it, or at least convince it to lead us to its master, maybe?"

"It is not the calf's fault that someone has desecrated this place in some way, to bring these foul insects. We must try to weed out the problem and make this a safe place for the residents and their livestock once more."

Miranda walks over to the poor creature. "You will be alright, little one."
She puts a hand on the calf's side and heals it with Desna's divine grace.
Using Lay on Hands. It regains 6 points.

Then she sits next to the calf and meditates, swatting away mosquitos as needed, for ten minutes, refreshing her divine power.

"Thank you for the kind offer. This man in white... what did he look like? And did he carry any identifying marks?"

Miranda looks at the dog pointedly, but for the moment keeps quiet. Whenever we are out of earshot of him, I would tell the group the little I know about the creature.

Occultism (if it can be used untrained in this case): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Nope.

The closer destination makes sense to me.

Crafting: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Miranda also does not notice anything exciting about the stone.

"We're trying to determine what is causing all of these mosquitos to have appeared in your town. They may not bother you much, but all your fellow residents are in agony. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing the surge?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

"Yes, I think you must be mistaken, my good friend. We've... never been here before." Miranda gives the man a confused look, and looks ready to pat him on the head but restrains herself.

At the sight of the older woman, Miranda bows deeply. "Hello my lady. I am Miranda. We are here to try to rid your village of the scourge of bugs it has been plagued with as of late."

"Either place sounds like a good place to start, to me. Do you have any suggestions of ways to keep the bugs off us while we investigate, Galia?"

Miranda quickly moves into the house, not wanting to be bitten up. "I'm so sorry to hear that you're dealing with so many pesky insects! Hopefully we can help!"

"Galia. Got it. Well then, let's not waste any more of the beautiful daylight! I'm eager to get out of this smoky place and see the sky!"

To Erevan, she turns and giggles. "Silly, there was already so much smoke in here from the forges out there, yours barely registered!"

"Well, this thing sounds positively horrendous. Even if the Mosquito Witch isn't the culprit, it sounds like you're in need of some exterminators. Perfect task for us, I'd say!" The cheery half-elven woman is obviously raring to go.

One more week!

Did you delete your own first post in Discussion? I've heard doing that can mess up a thread pretty badly.

The first thing Miranda will try to determine about any creature we meet is whether they're associated with any type of evil deity, then whether they're generally evil creatures, then whether they can be redeemed if they ARE generally evil. Say we ran into a drow, for example, she would first want to know what deities they often worship (Rovagug, for example), then that they are a race that generally leans toward evil, and then that there are some drow that can be redeemed and become good and pure.

As far as actual combat statistics, she'd be interested in knowing if they're hurt by positive energy, and then resistances to weapon damage and things like that.

I've added all of the skill bonuses to her profile, as well as the most important statistics in her header. I also added some background (it was quickly written, so please don't judge me on it. :)

Looking forward to getting started!

A beautiful young woman with a slight point to her ears strolls in, a well-wrought starknife at her hip and a small bow strapped to her back. She looks as if she'd be as comfortable on the battlefield as she would performing for a crowded tavern, and smiles at her new allies. "It's good to meet you all. I'm under the impression that this Society is a good way to travel the world and spread the love of Desna. I'm eager to get started."

Hi guys!

My two cents are that I agree that we could end here on a high note after enjoying the game with our current characters, or we could let another GM jump in if they're very sure they can take over the game and keep it moving. I personally love the interactions between Dromer and Iantha (Iantha is one of my favorite characters I've ever played with, I think), but I also have more responsibilities at work which have caused me to take less time to write meaningful posts, which can lead to less interest in general for all of us.

In other words, I vote we end here unless one of the other players is absolutely sure they can take over and take on all the responsibilities.

Tyler

I mean, I am still very much enjoying the characters, but we've definitely slowed significantly. I will accept the will of the group either way, but I would prefer we push ahead and try harder to post more.

Miranda nods to her colleagues and follows Smith once the two non-adventurers are relatively safe.

*bump*?

"That poor man! We must free him and heal those horrible wounds before they become infected!"
