Thank you for the game

I... don't quite see what you did there :P

Sign up info is still correct!

The corner was a poor choice...

Nikma taunts grimly as he sets his blade against her again.

◆ Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 161d12 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
◆ Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack (flurry), slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 3 = 121d12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
◆ Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack (flurry), slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 - 6 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 6 = 101d12 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Apparently she knew what the dice would do, lol

No you don't...

He quickly slashes at her to disrupt the spell...

↻Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 201d12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Despite his background and hardiness in this cold, this magical frost is getting to Nikma.

DC 21 Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Still, he has practice resisting and enduring it.

Stepping to keep up with her he whirls his blade in front of him, in both hands, ready to swing it at her at the right moment...

◆ Step W

◆ Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 141d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
◆ Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack (flurry), slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 3 = 181d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Nikma, changing your actions to Hunt/Stride/Strike because of lack of target.

Makes sense. Thank you!

Well, you're outnumbered now.

Nikma moves forward and slashes at the last one.

◆ Hunt prey RED
◆ Step N
◆ Strike RED: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 191d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Nikma tries to swing at the remaining guard, but her aim may have been thrown off by having to swap targets on the fly.

his :)

Nikma's teeth start to chatter a bit.

Fort DC 21 vs cold: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

He's no stranger to it though, Nikma has resist cold 1 and so steels himself and shifts to slash at the nearest foe...

◆ Switch held item: longbow -> bastard sword
◆ Hunt prey GREEN
◆ Strike GREEN: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 121d12 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Nikma shrugs and prepares to fire past Hadrimos.

◆ Interact: draw longbow
◆ Hunt Prey: RED
◆ Strike RED: +1 longbow attack, piercing damage, dead damage IFF crit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d8 ⇒ 81d10 ⇒ 6
(magical, volley 30, range increment 100 feet, reload 0)

Hero point to Hadrimos for face-tanking everything this mission, Huang Tong for being a fearsome dragon, and Nikma because they will be off in nature while the party faces a rough start to the fight.

Spotty posting is possible... no guarantees before tomorrow evening but let's see.

Nikma just grimaces, not wanting to think about what the goblins' fate might be once the Queen hears of their actions.

As he sheaths his sword over his back, he approaches the twig king to get a closer look at its body.

Curious creature... it was quite bold to take on so many of us.

Nikma isn't sure if he can slash through a murder of crows, but he will try...

◆ Hunt prey BLACK
◇ Recall Knowledge (free from Monster Hunter), unclear what applies: Arcana +6, Nature +5, Occultism +6, Religion +5,

◆ Strike BLACK: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Basic DC 17 Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Nikma brushes off the worst of the birds intrusion. Snarling in irritation he strides toward his prey (twig).

◆ Stride 20ft

And lays into it with his bastard sword…

◆ Strike RED: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d12 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
◆ Strike RED: +1 bastard sword attack (flurry), slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 3 = 201d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

I'll be away in nature next weekend, Friday (4/25) evening to Sunday (4/26) late afternoon, US/Pacific time). I'll have signal but phone posting will be spotty. I'll catch up and resume regular posting Sunday evening.

Nikma shrugs and addresses the goblins.

I don't think this Wicker King really holds very much power in this forest... If they did they wouldn't be calling on you as muscle.

Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Nikma silently hunts prey. Prey is now the wicker king, and per Monster Hunter gets a free Recall Knowledge (Nature +6)

I think we can afford the rest. The goblins are starting to seem less destructive that we at first though. Nikma remarks, conceding the time that his companions would like.

Nikma still seems anxious despite the battle subsiding.

Which direction did the goblins escape in? I don't think we have time to spare!

He begins looking about for tracks.

Track (Survival): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Nikma doesn't have reactive strike or the ranger equivalent.

He follows and keeps slashing at it...

◆ Step

◆ Strike: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 191d12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
◆ Strike: +1 bastard sword attack (flurry), slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 3 = 101d12 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

This is essentially over… he states grimly before approaching and slashing at the last foe.

◆ Stride

◆ Hunt prey GREEN (I assume the free recall knowledge is moot by now)

◆ Strike YELLOW: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

He’s not so confident in his finisher though.

With the kite out of the picture, Nikma sets his focus to a new adversary.

◆ Hunt prey BLUE
◇ Recall Knowledge (free from Monster Hunter), unclear what applies: Arcana +6, Nature +5, Occultism +6, Religion +5,

He quickly lays into it with his blade.

◆ Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 201d12 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
◆ Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack (flurry), slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 3 = 71d12 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Ow! Nikma groans, irritated.

He holds his sword above his head with both hands and slashes at the kite.

◆ Strike RED: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 101d12 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
◆ Strike RED: +1 bastard sword attack (flurry), slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 3 = 251d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 a tale of two rolls

IF that takes down the kite, Nikma would stride towards BLUE with his last action.

Nikma squints at the kite approaching them...

◆ Interact: draw bastard sword, 2-handed grip

◆ Hunt prey RED
◇ Recall Knowledge (free from Monster Hunter): Arcana +7, Nature +6, Occultism +7, Religion +6 (I would guess Arcana)

◆ Strike RED: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 121d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Nikma growls in frustration.

We almost had them!

He turns in time to see Calix catch up.

Yes, of course we'll follow them and recover the models. As for bloodshed...

He gives a grim frustrated look. Then finally relents and sighs.

Yes yes, we'll use minimal means.

Athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Nikma grimaces when he sees that Hadrimos is outpacing him. All the same, it just takes one of them to catch up.

Nikma's hamstring started to cramp up as he launched into his sprinting form. Grimacing he lets out a barrage of

I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.

before taking a deep breath and starting again.

Athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

While others attempt to calm the staff, Nikma gets back to running at top speed.

Athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Nikma dives for it...

Catch! (Thievery, untrained): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
We started with two each, right? If so, here's Nikma's second
☘️ Catch! (Thievery, untrained): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

I just kept ruh-nin...

Athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Stop those goblins!

Nikma sprints at top speed.

Athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Nikma gives a sheepish grin and nervous laugh.

I'm no dwarven engineer. I've not spent time with the tinkerers of Alkenstar. I can only pick a design based on the utility I see in it. That is how I chose the Sprite wings.

The sprite one seemed like it wouldn't need permanent tracks? That seems advantageous.

Updated the spreadsheet with all of the skills

Nikma approaches Danixki...

My, what big teeth you have! This seems the sort of creature he might've hunted in his past, before joining the Society.

Looking over the model, he notes It seems like yours may not even need tracks?

He makes a show of trying to pull one of the "train sleds." "It's only a model."

Athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

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

He then approaches Siraya.

No metal. Interesting. It is beneficial if something can be made from natural effects without lengthly processing. Do you bring a druidic tradition to this endeavor?

Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Oof, surely we have hero points? If so...
☘️ Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

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

Finally he returns to Firozet, who he'd had trouble helping his teammates to convince. Still, he has some knowledge that may help evaluate the design.

Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

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

That uses up all of Nikma's attempts for the six designs.

Next, Nikma moves on to Siraya to see what they have cooking...

I figure we should just keep make the rounds to open up the skills for all our options.

Nikma laughs sheepishly and enters the debate...

When I'm crafting a complicated trap it takes about this much...

Crafting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Nikma approaches Ivindra to see what the basis of their design is...

Hello. I'm with the Pathfinders checking out the various innovations! I'm but a simple snare-crafting ranger, but with a little help I think I can grasp your ideas!

Should I roll diplomacy to make an impression and figure out what the more specific rolls are?

Frustrated by how the fire is going, Nikma departs the effort and approaches Szvetneera to inspect their design.

Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 woohoo!

Nikma wanders over to his teammates working on Firozet and hears a request.

One fire, coming up!

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 maybe

How many rolls can a PC make this "round"? I presume Nikma can't help further with Surkzin. Can he join in and help with Firozet?

Nikma approaches Lieutenant Surkzin, thinking that an engineering team will be using the methods that he can most understand.

So, what makes our "train" propel forward? How do you plan the massive undertaking of laying tracks to build effective routes?

Crafting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Nikma’s face lights up at the more detailed expression. The part of his mind that constructs snares becomes more engaged in the idea.

Oh! They’re more akin to rolling castles, or at lead small fortresses. Fascinating.

He frowns.

And we are to help judge designs? What criteria should we use?

Nature +6

Nikma frowns.

Earth... like the element? Train?

He's never been to Numeria and so technologies such as this are never on his mind.

Why would carriages need to be iron? Are there particularly powerful beasts on the Plane of... I mean "Earth." How do the tracks help them? Carriages may go anywhere on roads, may they not?

He looks around at the rest of the party present, wondering if his question is daft. None of this makes sense to him.

Hmm, why wouldn't we go right to see her and get to business?

A quiet, generally reserved man with a thin, gaunt face asks. He wears a black cloak with the hood pulled up over his head, but still his wiry long black hair falls out of the front in an unkempt mess. A hefty bastard sword is slung over his back along with a longbow.

It's been some time since I've been back in the cold.

He breaths deeply.

Smell that fresh air!

He then looks around at the group assembled.

I'm Nikma. Well met Lan, Gwendolyn, and Huang Tong.

He notes the catfolk curled up on the ground, but figures its best to not disturb their sleep.

Nikma can contribute:

While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you provide important insights that keep your less experienced

colleagues safe from harm. For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase the
Level Bump’s modifier to saving throws to 2.

Normal: A Level Bump increases a PC’s saving throw modifiers by 1.

Special: A PC can only benefit from two mentor boons.

FYI I'll be away in nature this weekend, 3/1-3/2 without access to post. I'll return Sunday evening (US/Pacific time) to continue posting (including to kick of Outpost games!).

Chronicle appears correct. Ty for running this Frost!

Agreed

Nikma does not pursue.
