Phineas Hatt's page

If there is a silvertongue left, I'll take it. Also I will be travelling the next couple days so NPC me if necessary!

"How do you know what you're missing if you're missing it? Sure they may not have the vitals of life but what they may have are the baubles of life: the things that make a life worth living. Give them a chance. I mean you're ready to dismiss the store before you even examine its wares!"

Diplomacy, Iruxi Boon, +1 DC, Silvertongue: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 21

Holy monkeys! You're right! Typo for the win!

Correctly rolling a real die: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 28

Phin will drink one of the Silvertongue potions. "She's right. There are no guarantees, but Vidrian's tasted freedom after slavery and no free man will ever allow their freedom to be taken away easily after that. They'll fight. With tooth, with claw, with bloody stumps if they have to. And they'll win." He glares menacingly.

Intimidation, with Iruxi boon and silvertongue: 1d2 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 14

Silvertongue, so just a failure. booooo.

Phineas considers. "I once saw a fellow who lived by nothing but omens. Boringest fellow you ever met. Wouldn't put his shoes on without consulting the cards. Never did anything because it might lead to a negative outcome. Turns out his negative outcome was spending too much time worrying over the future instead of living his present. He died of an infected paper cut from the cards."

Deception, Ally of the Iruxi: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 = 14

Last Hero Point re-roll! Deception, Ally of the Iruxi, re-rolled: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 = 29

Society: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Hero Point!

Society Rerolled: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

"I believe you'll find that custom dictates that a conquered society is the responsibility of the conqueror. Therefore you'd have to seek compensation from Cheliax and House Thrune."

Phineas clear his throat. "I'm a bartender by nature. Imagine a bar where only beer was served, nothing else, no food, no liquor, nothing. Sure my beer-maker would be happy to take all my money, but what if a patron wanted mead? Or a mixed drink? They can't supply that. It makes for a dull bar and unhappy patrons. I'm sure Droon would love to be your only trading partner, but folks can't live on beer alone. Droon knows this as well as you do."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 = 16

Phin-ape shrinks down to Phineas again. "Best diplomacy I've found!"

Phin-Ape double lopes toward Green! He swings!
Slam!: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 1 + 1 = 6 damage!

Hooting, Phin-ape lopes across the floor, aiming at the red mephit! If that one is dead, re-adjust me to the next target!

Slam Vs Mephit: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 = 12 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 1 + 1 = 10 bludgeoning damage!
Slam Vs Mephit: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 - 5 = 20 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + 1 + 1 = 9 bludgeoning damage!

Phin-ape hoots his deep displeasure at being struck! He pounds at Blue!

Slam, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 23 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5) + 1 + 1 = 13 damage!
Slam, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 - 5 = 10 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 1 + 1 = 4 damage!
Slam, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 - 10 = 1 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3) + 1 + 1 = 10 damage!

Phin-ape feels unpleasant as the rune makes him wounded! Phin-ape takes a guarded step to give off the accursed thing and hoots his displeasure, then tried to pound Dark Blue first!

Slam vs Dark Blue: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 + 1 = 7 bludgeoning damage!
Slam vs Dark Blue: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 - 5 = 21 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4) + 1 + 1 = 8 bludgeoning damage!

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Phineas takes a moment, breathes deeply and casts animal form, taking the form of an especially speedy ape!

He moves up to beside the black mephit!

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Phin is just a moment too slow!

Phineas takes a position on the three wavy lines, feeling an affinity for them.

Phin nods. "We'll protect you, sir. To the end." Not excited for the extra challenge part. Though I am curious what it is...

Phin nods as the others ask for instruction.

"Perhaps if we assisted your assistant in the observations, to grant you time to join the Council? We would, of course, not wish to disturb your very important work."

Diplomancy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Phin smiles at Lumki. "Glad to see you again! Is Master Lashweather in?"

Phineas preens. "Well, we do make GORGEOUS statues, mind you, but I'm with them and would prefer to stay mobile in my beauty."

"Well I smell like a butcher's shop and I have this nasty crick in my neck, but we lived! Huzzah?" Phineas sighs and begins washing himself off with a canteen of water.

"Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you, Kesstraka. Your party was memorable and I can say that for so few diplomatic parties!"

Fun fact: played my IRL Age of Ashes game yesterday and got Petrified in that, too.

"Oil can... oil can!" Statue-Phin mutters.

Phin Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Hero Point Re-roll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

And Phin becomes stone.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 Thankfully Phin feels alright!

He gives up on flames and tries to electrocute the darn lizard!

Electricity, Reflex DC 20: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10 damage!

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 Phin's features start to harden!

He casts another flame!

Produce flame, inspired: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 = 16 for 2d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 + 1 = 10 fire!

Phineas calls out the information he learned! "This is a Basilisk, it has a Petrifying Gaze attack and a Petrifying Glance reaction. You know that if a slowed creature is affected by the Gaze they can be turned to stone, but also that the blood can be used to restore a petrified creature."

He then flings another flame! Produce Flame, inspired: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 = 12 for 2d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 + 1 = 7 fire damage!

Phin lets out a half "WHA?" as the thing strides in. He too figures a little damage might be just the thing.

Produce Flame, inspired!: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 = 30 for 2d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 + 1 = 8 fire damage!

Too late he studies the thing to learn what it is? Nature +6

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Phin nods as the others speak. "Why come this far to aid a country that isn't our own? As a diplomat you must understand the urge! Because we can help each other. Because it is the right thing to do. Because life is short and times are hard and we all need friends."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

"What do we know about her, personally? What sort of person is she? Any hobbies? Interests?"

"It's not bribery, it's gift giving to facilitate a long and mutually beneficial relationship! And I think we'll do fine."

I will alert People for the Ethical Treatment of Gnomes immediately. Expect a sternly worded reprimand from the First World.

Right, except on my sheet there's no GP earned in that field.

On my sheet, did I gain any treasure from the adventure; it's just showing the day job money.

Thanks!

Phin-Ape becomes Phin-Gnome once more. "A new temple would be a great find! Sort of find that makes it into the Chronicles. Might give a fellow a reputation, you know what I mean. And no worries, friend. We're not feeding anyone to anyone while I'm around. I mean, I've thought about eating Archimedes so many times, but here he is! Still grumpy!"

Yes, Phin is -2003. My bad!

Phin-Ape makes a rude gesture at the gargoyle and attacks!
Strike (Fist): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 for 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + 1 = 9 damage!
Strike (Fist): 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 5 = 24 for 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 1 = 6 damage!
Strike (Fist): 1d20 + 9 - 10 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 10 = 8 for 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2) + 1 = 8 damage!

Phin-ape climbs to his feet and hoots angrily at the damnable gargoyle. He nods at Azel and Arlo and strides toward Parannoyance and tries to beat him senseless!

Strike!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 for 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 1 = 3 damage!

Fists do bludgeoning traditionally, yes.

Phin-Ape steps closer and decides to try something new.

He tries to grapple the Badgoyle!
Athletics, inspired?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 vs Fort DC
Athletics, inspired?: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 5 = 13 vs Fort DC

Phin-Ape hoots his anger as the badgoyle slashes him. He uses the pain to press his attacks!

Fist vs Gargoyle, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 1 + 1 = 8 damage!
Fist vs Gargoyle, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 - 5 = 23 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 1 + 1 = 6 damage!
Fist vs Gargoyle, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 - 10 = 3 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + 1 + 1 = 10 damage!

Phin-ape hoots his defiance at the gargoyle! He strikes!

Fist, Inspired, Guided, Flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 = 22 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 1 + 1 = 9 damage!
Fist, Inspired, Guided, Flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 - 5 = 21 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 + 1 = 5 damage!
Fist, Inspired, Guided, Flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 - 10 = 17 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 1 + 1 = 7 damage!

Diplomacy as Initiative: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Phineas snarls, realising that this gargoyle is just an ashhole. His form blurs and becomes ape-like! Animal form into Phin-Ape! He strides forward on all fours, hooting angrily!

Phineas shakes his head. "Why the hate for the Iruxi? What transpired between you that has caused this hatred?"

Phin grins at Xun's flowery introduction. "And I am the Drink-Mixer who mixes the drinks! Would you like to taste a tasty beverage of beveragous taste?"

"You think it's worthwhile to talk to the gargoyle? Maybe see if we can resolve this without violence? Maybe this whole thing is a misunderstanding?" Phin muses.

"I'm alright, just a bit bruised. Shall we delve deeper into this observatory of omens?" Phin quips.

Round 1- Phineas

Reflex vs Mephit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Phineas concentrates and casts Produce Flame, flinging it at the northern mehphit!

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 for 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9 fire damage! He then strides adjacent to the fiend!

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

"What does the sign say? I can't read it." Phin says, studying it.
