"Pepper"'s page

Hi!
Oh, thanks a lot for the invitation to join again, but I will pass ((( Sorry.
I have given up playing Pathfinder, for now at least.

*waves* !!!

Oh?! Burn the weeds down!

Somewhere, a pair of eyes peep out at you from a bush!

Hi all!
Just wanted to say hi to all! Hoping you are all doing well and healthy and having fun in Plaguestone (and elsewhere).
Warm "bushy" thoughts for all.

Bidding her companions farewell, Pepper will give Gracie her last Goodberry, and slip off into the forest, with the she-wolf.
"I am a bit overwhelmed by all the goings on... and will go off to try and collect my thoughts, and either get Belta back here with me, or go join her.
Be safe all!"

Thanks so very much for the kind words!
)))
Have fun - stay safe - and roll high!

Hello all!
Having talked with our cool GM Deneve, I will be dropping out of the game and retiring Pepper.
It being between Acts of the story this seems like the least bad time to do this to you guys.
I like the adventure as run - it's the best! - and the five companions are so colorful and great, so, my life not being at the best right now is the reason I am putting Pathfinder aside and thus also stopping this game.
Sorry for the bother-- and I hope you all roll high, and remain safe!

"So many poor dead wolves... men-folk make them go crazy!"

"Come nice wolfie-"
Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Crit' Fail
If the wolf runs away into the woods.
"I hope you have a good life! At least you are free now..."

"Yes, let us go out into the forest!"

Pepper would prefer to go out through the forest.
Either to Etran's Folly, or the Stump-- as people wish.

"Leave this animal alone, Deerslicer! You do not need to eat here, and she is no threat to you now!
Animals are only as mean as the people ordering them around--"

Pepper tickles the wolf's belly.

"--and you are nice now, right?
A nice girl."

"Oh, isn't she cute...?", says Pepper, forgetting about the fight.
She will go slowly over, and try to scratch the wolf's tummy.
"Yes, you are cute... a nice wolf..."

Pepper casts stabilize on the big lug-- "Tie him up, maybe? Before I heal you all... or else fall back and we wake him later?"

Pepper will either include Hallod in her Heal if he is tied up tight - or else have people fall back so he is not included.

A last wave of healing spirits rush all around the room--
HP Healed: 1d8 ⇒ 3
Healing:
Gracie (-14 hp)
Gamble (-1 hp)
Simon (-13 hp)
Sinan (-9 hp)
and the She-Wolf--
--by 3 HP

"Good... you are not dead.
I hope you are free from Evil influence..." Pepper says to the wolf, ready to try--
Wild Empathy Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
--to calm it down and make it non aggressive.
If it moves to attack, she will cast produce flame at it...

Pepper launches her healing spirits at Gamble--
HP Healed: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
--and then scurries over to be beside Gracie.

2 action Heal
Stride
(last spell cast)

Sorry! (Pepper thought it was spring-time and her sap got to her head)

Saddened to see the wolf killed outright, Pepper raises the moss that serves are her eye-brow, thinking that this Hallod cannot be all bad, if he likes his wolf so much but then she is appalled to see her friend sliced and so badly hurt.

Pepper reacts by sending the mending spirits to now take care of Sinan--
HP Healed for Sinan: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
--before raising her shield, and looking at Gamble, who was actually not healed.

@GM: you still have Gracie @-14 hp and prone, but I think she was healed for 15 hp by Pepper just before

2 Action Heal
1 Action Raise Shield
0 spells left

"Gracie!"
Pepper sends more spirits of healing to help the bear recover--
HP healed for Gracie: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
--mending her completely.
She keeps her shield up.

2 Action Heal
1 Action Raise Shield
1/3 spells left

Pepper weaves words of Primal magic, summoning small spirits to stick pine needles and spider-silk into Sinan's wounds--
HP Healed by Sinan: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
--before raising her shield.
The little spirits are proud of their good work, and wink at Sinan before they vanish back to their plane.
2 action Heal
1 action Raise Shield
2/3 spells left

Pepper is torn, but seeing the Sinan managed to block a good portion of the blow, she goes with her instincts and weaves words of Primal Magic to save the wolf from death--
--before raising her little shield.

2 action casting of Stabilize on the wolf
1 action Raise Shield

"Poor wolf..."

Pepper summons a little storm spirit, sending an electric arc between the white wolf and Hallod--
DC 18 basic Reflex Save: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
--before raising her bark shield.

Pepper frowns as Hallod shoots at Gamble--"Not nice..."
So she squeezes some of the winter out of her bark and weaves words and movements of magic, to send this frosty cold at the enemy--
Cold Damage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 161d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
--then she raises her little piece of oak-bark as a shield.

• 2 action casting
• 1 action Raise Shield

So, okay that we waited one hour? Pepper @-6HP?
And ready to move on (even if we do not wait)

No, she wouldn't go back out through those areas alone for that.
It's fine.

I am really fine w. it, as I said.
I was just mentioning this Druid stuff because it is not fun if you get into situations when you do not expect/know this.

If we wait some--

When Sinian's sunlight bathes Pepper, she heals up, and her leaves all open up-- and then she belches.
"Oh, thank you, I was a little hungry!
Oh?! And I am healed too... thank you for that too!"

Pepper @-13 hp

"Do we rest a bit? Or pursue?
Anyone else want to have a bite to eat? There's nice snake for you meat-eaters to fry."
Can we stop for a little while - an hour or two -, and patch up with Medecine?
If not I will use spells, but prefer to conserve what is not freely useable.

While exploring, you can’t choose an exploration activity.

and

our healer had that happen, so couldn't do Treat Wounds (or any other exploration activity) the entirety of the Scenario

My reading is that the exploration activity you cannot do (since you cannot choose one-- to do) is the one linked to Exploration Activities (see p. 496 of the CRB).

I imagine Deerslicer's DM w. the poor healer who could do nothing ruled that not choosing an exploration activity meant you could not do anything with the exploration trait.
For me that seems a big leap and is never specifically written in fatigued.

Page 498 of the CRB explains more what an Exploration Activity is (and, for example, how to use an "encounter skill" as one.
Here is just one excerpt:
If the activity is similar to an action someone could use in an encounter, such as Avoid Notice, it usually consists of a single action repeated roughly 10 times per minute (such as using the Sneak action 10 times) or an alternation of actions that works out similarly (such as Search, which alternates Stride and Seek).
So it seems they specify and clarify there are talking about repeating things over and over when you move around exploring (game-wise it is to speed things up and not have "I check for traps" and a roll, at every square).

And then you have the Exploration trait (p. 234)-- which you have on many more things.
Check AoN where you have the trait listed as applying to Actions, Activities etc..

For me it is quite clear that "While exploring, you can’t choose an exploration activity." means that, and not "While exploring, you can’t use activities with the exploration trait."

That said (or written) I do not wish to fatigue anyone, and I have zero problem at all going w. what is decided upon (I use the "follow the GM" exploration activity).

Too late for Pepper.
She is immune for 50 more minutes.
You may switch her out of your first roll.

"Why thank you, Kunsheng, that is-- WHY, KUNSHENG!"
Pepper steps away and blushes.
"I thought you intended to heal me, not...?!"
She shrugs, and looks around at the wounded people.
"Do you wish to press on, or rest a little bit?"
Magical Healing now - or save for later and spend time for mundane?

Pepper raises her shield--

--lashes out with her limb.. and nearly pokes her own eye out!
Branch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

And then--
Branch: 1d20 ⇒ 7
--just flails about uselessly.

"Well I'm happy I was not made out of willow...", Pepper mutters as branches fall to the floor, cracks appear in her trunk, and a pile of singed leaves drops to the floor.

Pepper now scurries back-- "This is a tiring battle!"
--to get a better line of site, as she conjures another ball of fire that does not set her on flame.
Filled with courage, she tosses the ball at the last snake-- "Sorry, big eel!"

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 = 19
Fire: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11

Stride
2 action Cast

This time Pepper will conjure a small ball of flame in her wooden hand-- and, without burning herself, toss it at the yellow snake...
Spell Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Fire: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Double damage +1d4 persistent on a Crit'
Pepper will then move further in.

Pepper mutters: [b][smalller]"If only I just had a coin and a scrap of paper... I could've ended this already--
Reflex DC17: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
--as she manages to somehow avoid something of lightning.

Pepper scurries over to the back of the cave-- hoping something is not hiding behind a pillar here.

She passes Deerslicer-- "Excuse me..."
And Gracie-- ruffling her fur: "Nice bear!"

Then she turns to face the trio of water snakes.

"Thanks, Kunsheng!"
Thinking that an electric arc is a bad idea, she assesses the situation and chooses to go with-- acid!

Thus she invokes the Primal Elements and calling out the words of power, she weaves her little branches in the air-- tossing a blob of acid at the snake in the middle, with the light blue scales.
The acid splatters and splashes all around...

Acid Splash Cantrip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
• Acid Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 double if crit'
• 1 splash damage of acid on all three snakes
• if a crit', the main target light blue snake also takes 1 persistent acid damage

Pepper comes up to Deerslicer, and pulls out sharp wooden twigs, dried cocoons, and some herbs... dropping sap onto them and patching the Goblin up.
She looks around, and plucks a cobweb down that she tosses on top--
Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
--"Nice!"
HP Healed: 2d8 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

Pepper is a bit sad that the dogs are rejected-- 'At least they are fed!"

She looks around: this is a nice dark place, moist, underground-- could be fungus and mushrooms around.

When the dogs lie down, Pepper breaks a little piece of dead wood from her roots, like a too long toe-nail for humans, and-- tosses it: "FETCH!
Don't want you to get fat, better exercise some."

Pepper kisses Sinan's hands.
"So generous! The doggies have nice souls... just starved and made to act bad."

"Thank you, Sinan."
Pepper waves to dogs and tosses them the meat, in a manner that they all get some and do not fight.

Then she follows the others.

Pepper moves back, smiling.
"Does anyone have some sausage or dried meat or whatever?"
She is ready to keep on talking--

Does she have time to keep on trying to sway their mood w. Canine Diplomacy?

Do you guys have any tips or go-to places to learn about doing maps and tokens on google drive?

I am sure there a Guides and such.

But, to get started, if you know how to set up a Google Slide thingie, and then just do a screenshot of the map, plop it in there, and then move minis around you are good to go for the basics.

Pepper will move - "Excuse me..." - if she can, and peek in the room, to try and converse with the dogs.
"Hello? yapping sounds..."

I think I now have the reflex to automatically save before posting.

I believe I am okay w. colors.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Pepper hears something whistling down-- and manages to flatten out against wall.

BOOM!

"Oh, hello Gracie!"

She then turns towards the door.
"Those dogs are angry.
Maybe we can give them names? To differentiate them if we talk to them.
I mean, how many do you hear: four, five... not six?"

Seeing her comrades move around down there, and some light, then someone calling her name, Pepper steps into the chute and-- falls down the 30 feet, rapidly getting to the bottom.
She opens her branches and her leaves slow her down at the end, thus she lands with particular grace... not even shaken at all.
'Yes? What is going on?"

The small tree will squeeze her trunk to give more space...

@Sinan: you can always sign w. up offering to play a pre-gen (levels 3 and 5 are available for some now).

"It does not matter since when. if some find me a role-model today, that is good enough for me!"

Well, you should know that does not work on Leshies!
Otherwise why do I still have the drained condition?! Huh!

Thanks!

Pepper finally feels better.
Though she now feels scorn for the inept bloodseekers
