Paullo Ocella's page

I want to say I'm sorry due to extenuating circumstances that were not foreseen I wont be able to play any Pbp for about 2-3 months. in another week I will have to stop. so I decided it would be better letting people know now than continue posting. I take my obligations seriously and am not the type of person that will just drop without at least trying to explain. those that didn't know I was a stay at home husband so I had a lot of free time on my plate however me and my wife bought a house dirt cheep as a investment and I need to renovate it before we move in top to bottom. I have done this before, because if you can, sweat equity is the best (my father was a custom home builder/contractor so I can redo anything in a house). because I've been through this before I know what is involved and I will not have the time or the inclination (even though its for fun) to get on when I will be dead tired. I have met many really awesome people in these forums and I am grateful to meet all of you and playing with you. I hope to see you all again in a few months when things calm down.

Paullo grabs his sword cane and pulls out the blade. Going inside the room he covers the woman with the firearm. Just in case the dogs charge her while she is readying it. Letting the fighters do their job. Paullo waits to see if he can help in other ways.

holding action to attack if any of the dogs attack Canacha.

Paullo looks towards the others, gives a little smile towards meliora, Lena, and Canacha. says, "Ladies first, Go ahead Rex. Ill watch our back."

Paullo takes a look around the area before meeting everyone at the Livery.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

with a "click, click , click" Paullo makes his way to the others right as "Mic" hits the door. ahh well, a impetuous group aren't they

"please let me next time, it will cause alot less ruckus." as Paullo scans the area to see if anyone might report us for breaking and entering.

"Well then, since we are doing all this tomorrow where would you like to meet? Rex I would like the signet ring please, if you don't mind I would like to keep it as payment for now on the condition that you can get it back if I call in a favor, and if you don't mind I would like to study the letter for a few minutes."

Occult unlock on letter (Psychometry) on the person that wrote it.: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Lore on Kintargo criminals. the Rose: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Looking for a outlaw already? the Rose of Kintargo. that might be interesting.

can I use my Lore (Kintargo criminals) +7 on the Rose on Kintargo? from my background skills. because he might be a wanted man. lol

Paullo listens to the group, not much of a talker. He is much more introspective.

"I will be glad to help where I can, however just so we are clear your talking treason right? If that's the case do you have a backup to leave town in case things go south."

Paullo lights up his pipe and takes his ease next to the exit of the room. then adds,

"As far as I heard unless you know more is that the mayor went missing do you have proof of Thrune getting rid of the last mayor?"

Paullo collects all the pendants, before following. after Rexus's speech Paullo takes a bow and flourishes his hat, "I'm afraid I haven't met you before my names Paullo Ocella and I'm a investigator for hire. Where I don't mean to be one to bring this up, but what kind of pay would I be looking at? " Paullo shrugs off any stares or scoffs at his remarks.

not here to make any friends, a persons gotta eat. If these people agree to this I wonder if they know it could be their head on a pike..

Paullo steps back watching, while the others talk. As man of few words Paullo much preferred to listen than to talk. while the others are going through the guards belongings Paullo watches down the alley for additional help.

at least the Kid isn't bloodthirsty... a she watches the swordsman search the bodies of the knocked out guards.

the wizard doesn't seem to be much more than a apprentice. With the spells she was using....

The one they called "mic" seems to know how to fight, that is good....

Not sure yet about the "gunslinger" ill have to watch her more...

"I would be honored, good sir to go with you to the bookstore." Paullo says to the noble. Paullo takes a look at the nobles garb. after all you might be my next patron... Paullo concentrates on the nobles clothing to see if he can determine anything, in addition he will try to sense motive on general (hunch) about the man.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Sense motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Paullo whispers in the Man's ear,"The names Paullo, what you use on the others. How long we got?"

stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
don't know if I can

using the darkness in the alley as cover Paullo tries to stealthily move up to the prone bystander. checking him to see if he is ok.

sounds like they are not Thrune lovers by far. I wonder if they have any bounties on their heads? Well I'm sure they will soon enough if they keep fighting the CCG (Chelish Civilian group)

heal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Paullo makes his way around the fight to go check on the "Noble" making his way around the streets. Luckily he knew a shortcut to get around the fight.

I'm double moving to get around the fight using alleys. don't know how far I can get. Please be patient on my character guys, I'm not helping because I don't really know yall yet, and my character is not one to stick his neck out for people he doesn't know. unless someone is looking In really bad shape.

That kid is almost dead and is STARTING a fight..... Paullo shakes his head watching from around the corner. Paullo wants to spend the round to see if he can find out what happened. Not wanting to choose sides yet. best to see who started it... Is that a noble?

Seeing if any of these help.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Sense motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20<- don't think in crowds any more.

Paullo follows closely in the crowd knowing that they help give him cover. As he sees everyone duck into the alley Paullo creeps up to the mouth of the alleyway quickly looking in before following. looking for signs of Passage as a carefully as he can while keeping the others just out of sight.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Urban survival Tracking: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Paullo creates a distracting by calling out more rioters on the left as a good civic minded person would then tries to blend in before they take a good look at him.

"Milady; look out to the left!!"

Bluff: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (14) + 8 + (1) = 23
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Paullo looks down at the woman he hurt and checks her vitals.

Good job Paullo you might have just murdered someone.

Heal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Sleight of hand: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 8 + (1) = 17

Checking the vitals Paullo is releaved to find her not dead and stable.

well no sense on wasting the opportunity.... Paullo quickly grabs anything of value. In addition if she has a emblem of the Dotteri (a badge) that he could take or Asmodeous medallion he will.

I'm good with the improvised weapon I might take rough and ready or some other trait with extra trait feat later to lose or reduce the penalty.

Your no hero, Paullo.... don't get involved. NO don't you do it, I said NO!.

Paullo watches as the inept rioter with the longsword (sorry, Jack.) misses the Dotteri guard I wonder if he even knows how to use it or if it was his fathers. ; in the Dotteri's defense her training allowed her to basically be surrounded and still holding her own.

Blast it..

Seeing his opening Paullo, attacks with his cane as a mere club. (I don't know if you as a DM allow this, I have heard different discussions on this, so take away any penalty you think is fair. and just let me know your ruling for the future. on sword cane as a mere club if needed. or if a -4 penalty for improvised weapon.)

attack flat footed out of hiding and flanked.: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 2 = 14<-- too close for comfort so using inspiration bonus to attack.

Inspiration: 1d6 ⇒ 6
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"Get outta Here!.."

Paullo continues to move around people, trying to leave. However a Stall overturns in the conflict causing Paullo to take a alternate route through the mess. It appears the Chelish citizens group has been training....... perhaps training for a takeover of Kintrgo? After all no one I've spoke to really knows what happened to the Mayor. seeing the numerous wounds on both one of the ladies and the swordsman makes Paullo wonder.

I'm stalling (pardon the pun) leaving, but my character doesn't know them enough to get involved yet.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + 8 + (5) = 32

I think it is awesome, I would just roll with it. Work it into your background. and ask if you can take a drawback like "doubt" and make it a part of your character.

Paullo quickly moves through the crowds as fast as possible, knowing that the chaos surrounding him will cover any inconstancies with his disguise as a old man. when a "BANG" echoes in his ears. Dammit, they shouldn't be trying to kill the Doterri.... even the "Newt" wouldn't try that without a good cause. looking around Paullo tries to take note of his surroundings. looks like the only one with sense is running...... Paullo tries to follow her. well lets see where this little girl is running to.. It might lead to your next paycheck...

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 8 + (1) = 14

Paullo continues towards the outer area of the Riot. Watching as the others fight.

This is none of your business, If they want to fight that's their choice. Dang; the lad with the longsword, he might be surrounded soon. If those girls don't help. This is none of your concern........

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

seeing that his opponent is much more shrewd than Paullo originally thought, Paullo grabs a nearby person running away from the battle and throws her into the guard trying to distract him enough for Paullo to lose him again in the crowd. Seeing at least one of the Roiters has out a longsword.

this will turn ugly faster than a Goblin mating with a hydra...

essentially still just a bluff check with written flair.

Bluff: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (9) + 8 + (5) = 22

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Paullo waits through the conflict hiding in the crowd. Being jostled by the rioters while trying to look inconspicuous. Run you dolts, you shouldn't be starting anything in front of Thrune........, Run..

watching intently not wishing to be swept up in the moment, but hoping things don't turn bad for these poor unfortunates. When one of the guards attacks Paullo. Blast It...

I try to distract the guard with a Quick feint with my cane and fade into the crowd.

Bluff Check diverson: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 8 + (3) = 14

stealth : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Puollo continues to watch the crowd carefully for any signs of trouble after getting the general mood of the place. seeing the guards take away a pickpocket he tries to take advantage of everyone's momentarily distraction by swiping gold from anyone that looks like a noble nearby.

My tithe for healing to keep the streets safe, oh.. thank you Mr. Noble, sir........

Pilfer: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 8 + (4) = 24
(use inspiration on Sleight of hand checks for free in kit.)

Paullo sees the exchange between the woman at the fountain and the guards. Paullo mutters "Narc.." and moves a little away from the fountain.

Inwardly Paullo groans I hate it when people talk about a subject they don't know about " Good day then gentleman." Paullo says with a tilt of his hat. Continuing to look for more rumors among the masses Paulo starts listening to anyone he can find.

Diplomacy listen to Rumors: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 301d10 ⇒ 10

Paullo turns and make's a leg to the two young men. "greetings, today sirs, this is just a fine day isn't it. I couldn't help but overhear you two talking about Thrunes Bodygaurd. I was wondering if you could add more about her. I would hate to be on the side of someone Thrune hates."

shifting attitude to Friendly Dip chk: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Paullo heads towards the disturbance that a young woman is causing near the fountain I hope she isn't dumb enough to start something in this crowd. This crowd is waiting to go up and burst like a fireball. as he is walking towards them he is listening for anyone saying anything that would catch his interest. Paullo uses his cane to nudge people out of the way.

Diplomacy (listen to rumors): 1d20 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 10 + (3) = 151d10 ⇒ 7<-- 1 pt inspiration.
stealth (hide in crowd): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

"Click , Click, Click" Paullo's cane went as he made his way inside the protest, taking a quick look around seeing if there is anyone that looks interesting in the crowd that me could get close to. Surely there was bound to be a couple of people like that in the protest. He didn't really expect anyone to recognize him either. with his hair dyed and face covered in ash like a peasant.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Disguise: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

I think I saw somewhere that one of the pre approved characters from the other group is part of Jhaltro house. I could have had prior talks with them. I am a Private investigator so I could have been a informant.

this is chubbs submission. a Psychic detective that once helped find the elusive "Temple Hill Slasher"

let me know if you have any questions.
