Navasi's page

I think our general rule should be whoever has the highest skill check is the main, and everyone else is aid. Unfortunately, if that be me here, the dice gods are not my friends!

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"Not sure I will be of much help in this case, but I'll keep an eye on the horizon and let you know if we're drifting."

Knowledge (geography) aid: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21

I am in a similar boat, so this works just fine for me! Good luck on your project and hang in there!

"Sure, I'm in. Sounds like fun, causing some problems for the racers is just gravy!"

Good to go.

Navasi creates 9 normal skeletons, for her skeleton crew.

"Aye, captain. No new bodies."

Navasi starts asking about town to see if there are any likely body dumping spots, or a burial site for those too poor to manage arrangements.

"Captain, if I may. Find a few corpses that no one is going to miss, and I can animate a crew for you. They will never tire, and should be most agreeable to your every command."

Thanks! I am back, now, with a short hiatus here and there for the next few weeks, but nothing that should slow me down too much.

Hello all - sorry for going silent with no warning. My wife's mother passed away this weekend, and between that and the holiday season, we are scrambling to get everything in order. I am posting this same note to all of my groups, so some of you will likely see it more than once.

I suspect I won't be only until after Christmas, and maybe not even until after the new year. I will try to catch up on games where I can, but I don't expect to be very successful. If I am a player, please feel free to bot me or drop me as needed. If you bot me, all resources are available to you - I am not worried.

For those I am running, I certainly won't me able to organize combat as I will be remote. But feel free to continue RP if available and I can answer questions as I get a chance.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and for those of you that celebrate, Hanukkah Sameach, Happy Kwanzaa, and Merry Christmas!

"A race? Why not..."

Navasi is too distracted by the demon corpse to really be paying attention. She starts clearing an area to haul the body, in preparations for making a very interesting animated corpse.

Ah, yes - of course!

What did he do? I am thinking I might only want the skeleton for animation purposes. But I am thinking it is too much paperwork to have a lot of undead, so I am thinking of trying to create basically one big one.

"Interesting. I had not seen that little ritual before."

Navasi pays attention to where the tongue and fingers fall, and sends her undead monkey to retrieve them when it is not too obvious.

Then she casts a few curative spells on Chumtooth, to bring him back to full health.

CSW: 3d8 + 8 ⇒ (7, 4, 3) + 8 = 22
CSW: 3d8 + 8 ⇒ (5, 1, 5) + 8 = 19
CMW: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (6, 8) + 8 = 22
CMW: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 1) + 8 = 13

With her opponent blinded, Navasi moves away (withdraw) to find a safer spot from which to cause havoc.

Navasi casts blindness on Pirate 2, since he decided to come in so close.

Concentration, casting defensively: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 4 = 26
DC 18 Will save to avoid being blinded.

Have any dropped dead yet?

Navasi aims her human-bane crossbow at one of the pirates (#2).

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Navasi tries casting a spell on the potion drinker to slow her down.

DC 18, Blindness

Navasi casts a spell, causing fear in the heart of one of the pirates.

Cause Fear. DC 16 Will save.

I am going to be offline until Monday. Feel free to bot me as you see fit.

Navasi sends her pet monkey to follow Tomas.

Navasi walks to a corner, undead monkey on her shoulder, and pulls out a couple of old bones to start fiddling with. ”Don’t make him ask twice.”

Intimidate aid: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

"I always expect an ambush. Just don't always see it coming."

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Good luck!

On the ship...
Navasi watches Dante with a wry smile. Interesting dynamic between these two... I will need to dig deeper when we are back on the ship!

She helps getting ingredients as anyone shouts out what is needed, but refrains from cutting.

-----

back on land...
"Sometimes, the dead can also be questioned," Navasi says with a grin. "But it is often easier to question them before the life runs out."

Diplomacy 1d20+0

If it helps, Knowledge (local) 1d20+11

Not sure much will help that Displomacy! You probably accidentally started some false rumors!

If Navasi finds the location of the Apothecary, she goes and watches it for a bit to get a sense of who is coming and going.

Navasi is curious as ever, and talks to everyone who responds to her charm.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

"Ah, of course. Let us hope we are rewarded for our efforts here."

"What kind of meat are you looking for?" Hope it isn't gnome!

"No, no - not the weather," she says with a wink. "But the weather wasn't so good either. Let's just say that I gave some men exactly what I promised, but they didn't agree with my interpretation of the instructions. People should learn to think through what they say before entering into an agreement..."

"I appreciate the knowledge on these knots. I never realized you could get so creative with a rope."

I'm good to make port!

"Excellent! Nice to meet you, Mr. Goldforge. I am ready, willing and able!"

Navasi does her best to learn the ropes. But she does ask a lot of questions.

In her off time, she wanders about the deck of the ship, also watching the crew in their duties to learn as much as she can about each crew member and their jobs. She also tries to pick up any information anyone may have on the destination, Port Peril.

Diplomacy, Gather Info, Take 10: 10 + 14 = 24

Added +1 Wis
+8 HP
+1 BAB
+1 Will Save (+1 more for bumb in Wis)

New Perception +8, Sense Motive +6
Bonus Spell Known: Fear
- still need to pick 2 new 4th level spells (or lower)

Navasi looks at Faengrim incredulously, but then shrugs as he stalks off. Ship's wizard sounds better than swabbin' decks, that's for sure.

"Aye, aye, cap't. Er... I mean sub-captain? First mate? How do you fancy I call you?"

Barely waiting for an answer, she then asks the next closest crew member, "Where might I find this Dante?"

Nah - I can always ask to borrow it back if needed. Navasi really only picked them up as flavor text - wasn't really trying to horde loot.

Yah, Navasi picked them up, but will readily turn them over to her new Captain in thanks for the offer to join the crew. ;)

I can put 3000 back in the kitty so the cash-getters each get an extra 1000.

Do we have a price on the crossbow?

Awesome - thanks for the summary! I realized I never finished my feats and equipment, so am finishing that now. I might want the human bane crossbow, but can I "buy" it for the 60% the group will get for selling it?

"I do like a man who knows how to strike a bargain. So it's settled then... part of the crew it is! This should be fun!"

"Hey, if you're offering a ride, I'm in! I love being at sea, and things are getting a little hot around here for me anyway. I think I could even be of great benefit to you and your crew. I have skills."

A very scragly looking monkey jumps up on her shoulder. "Of course, this one will be joining me. Don't worry - he don't eat much, and makes a great lookout."

Being so much smaller than the rest of you, it is likely all oversized for Navasi anyway.

Seeing Carmella's interest in the items, she motions for her to step to the side and shows her the vials.

"Assassin probably means poisons. Or could be some strange reageants. Any idea what they may be?"

Navasi pockets the non-magical vials, figuring they must be soem sort of poisons, or maybe poison antedotes. She also takes the spyglass, but then the monkey on her shoulder takes it from her and starts playing with it.

"Sure you want to leave him to talk? I mean, we weren't on this list and he tried to kill us, right?"

Navasi runs up and rifles through pouches and/or pockets.

Navasi follows the others, but staying at the rear of the pack, which is likely the only alternative given her much shorter stride.

Navasi shrugs at the offer, and the comments made in the bar. As she watches the others leave, she catches sight of a large half-orc that bursts into the room. She immediately dodges behind the bar, and waits for an opportunity to skedaddle out the door.

"Yah, it might be a good time to board a ship and get outta here. I might as well tag along."

-----

When the tengu they seek is suddenly killed, Navasi's first instinct is self preservation, so she cases a spell. An obscuring mist begins to fill the immediate area, certainly providing concealment from the sniper.

"Wise one, yes you are. Have you faced many gods or demons before?"

The woman stands up off her stool, and you easily recognize her now to be of gnomish heritage. She comes around the bar, closer to Chumtooth.

"I know not of this Corlan, I am sorry to say. Those around here call me Navasi. I would be interested to hear more of this puzzle you are trying to solve, though. Perhaps I can help you if you tell me more."

A nearby woman, small and colorful despite her dark and mysterious clothing, perks up at the discussion. "A puzzle, you say? And you come to a place of drink to solve it? Very interesting. But why are you so concerned about your blood being used as a sacrifice? Blood gives life, to be sure, but it has so many other uses as well..."

I will try to finish updating my character with the last few odds and ends today. I am going to be travelling for the next 2 weeks - I am putting my GM games on hold, but I will endeavor to still jump into the few games I am a player to keep things moving. But if I disappear for a few days here and there, know that I am coming back!
