Piotr Tataru's page

You could add Ann into your ending story,Garrosh, if you so desire. Once freed from Piotr, the world is open for exploring. Having a companion on the trip sounds great

Done. Hopefully not too sappy.

Thanks for giving us this, Mort.

:)

Most people remember their time of madness as a Dark Time, but not Piotr Tataru. No, this lug will tell any that will listen that it was the best thing to happen to him.

Those days under the care of a particular Pharamsian cleric were a turning point. He realized what he wanted then.

Her. Simple, and wonderfully, Just Her.

Now, it would be great to say that the moment he was cured he dropped down to his knee to profess how much his chest felt like it would burst around her, or the rush of warmth to his face when he realized she was looking at him, or anything like that. But Piotr isn't good with words, and he still had his sister to consider.

Ann. She loved her brother, though she might stab you before admitting it. Growing up it was them against all. Now, he had another, and she knew she was in the way. He would never give up trying to save her.

So, one night, after she figured it all out (all the reading she had been doing had nothing to do with finding this great prize or memories. It was all about freedom). She wrote him a note (and another for Winter) and then... was gone.

Winter's said, 'Please take care of him'
Piotr's had more but its two main points were that Ann will always love her big brother and that he had BETTER take care of Winter.

He looked for her, cause what big brother wouldn't? But she was like a ghost (pun intended). But, eventually, he accepted their parting. He wrapped his big hand in Winter's and started a nice quiet life with the love of his.

Hi Mort.

Thank you.

Thank you for descriptions that make npcs real, and interesting, and delightful. FOP THE BEST FOOD OPTIONS I HAVE EVER HAD IN A GAME, period. Goodness, I have often salivated at them when thinking where in the heck I'm going to lunch.

Thank you for Winter... that one is from Piotr. They need to end up happy and snuggly somewhere. The universe owes them that.

Thank you for sticking with a game through people leaving, lag, and bad technical situations. PAIZO!!!

Thank you for being stubborn in all the great ways but continuously respectful each and every time.

Thanks simply for being you, and for running a game I've been proud to be in.

I enjoyed it.

If you EVER, I mean EVER, want to run another game and want an odd ginger from Alabama in your party, I am There. Without question of system, without question of setting. I know it will be great no matter what.

All my respect for you as well as massive hope for your new job.

And thanks, again.

(and the rest of you of course, Garroush for sticking through it all, consistent, grumpily awesome, and always interesting. Tiff, simply amazing from the start, I hope to play with you again. Rose, brilliantly insane is one of the greatest compliment I can give to almost anyone, and it is yours)

But in the end, it is all about the Mort. :)

Bye, :(

A horribly necessary question. I don't think we could make it with just 3 of us. So recruit again or stop... I admit I remembered not liking this section of the adventure. Jumping from dream to dream. But there are many things you've added to make it enjoyable. Making npcs real, the descriptions of everything, and the FOOD :)

And yes I know that is not an answer, just thoughts while thinking.

Good luck sir!!!

Piotr spells a lot of time with Winter, and tries to learn how to make tea. Ann reads and reads and reads, but offers little insight to anyone.

Its just rose not leveled at this point, correct? If so, going forth without that one level wouldnt hurt. So I suggest proceeding.

From a roleplaying it is great. Plus the phantom itself is awesome
Piotr and Ann are a bit of a mechanics mess as most of my characters end up. Getting the phantom to do more damage I think is important. Concentrating and planning ahead, ugh. Still I do like it

I think I have Piotr and Ann all leveled.

Piotr level 6 spiritualist, level 2 fighter
+1 bab, +1 fort, +1 ref, +1 will, phantom recall
added false life as a spell
+1 intimidation, survival, spellcraft, sense motive, +2 knowledge local
fcb gives +1 skill point to Ann
+1 wisdom

Ann, level 8 phantom
+1 dex/cha bonus, +1 skill point in stealth (diplomacy and disable device are automatic)

The relief on Piotr's face is evident when Winter (and the other's) wake up. "I'm fine." he says sheepishly, looking embarresed for getting knocked out of the fight. He also warms significantly as Winter holds his hand, then after a moment of hesitation leans forward to engulf her in a hug, resting his head against hers. "I should have been more careful. Sorry about that." he says softly.

Walking for seven hours would still kill me. Congrats Mort, that is truly awesome!!

Catching up, happy to be finally home. Will settle and level soon, promise

Sorry about that. He's still here, just... not.

WooHoo! Piotr is pacing around the stairwell, while Ann is grumbling inside his head. In case it comes up :)

Piotr does stumble in pain toward Winter, but still hacks his sword at the captain. Ann uses her ghostly form to run through the battle, to get behind the captain.

piotr attack, pa: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 25
damage, pa: 1d8 + 5 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 4 + 2 = 19

piotr attack, pa: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 27
damage, pa: 1d8 + 5 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 + 2 = 12

Another question, does Ann limit your attacks through her, since she is phased at the moment?

I'm confused. So the thing to Piotr's right is the captain that stabbed him. So for both Piotr and Ann to attack they need to take those two spots that are open. But we can't cause Rose needs to attack as well?

yes

Piotr isn't really the type to do the sensible thing and move back cause he is hurt. ESPECIALLY when Winter is behind him.

I apologize but I have mislaid Piotr's health it seems. He just got hit with 37. Scrolling back through he got hit with 15, but Winter healed him for 15, but looking back I might have misunderstood. Maybe he took 30 and was healed 15 and ended up taking 15?

If so, yep he is out, since he seems to be down 4 (I'll hunt down the four later today after work), Ann would go with him, I'd assume, unless the rules of this world is different.

ENJOY!!!

Bless, haste, and Piotr has been bull strengthed, correct?

Piotr rushes in between Winter and the spears, hacking his sword at the nearest (Red). While Ann ignores the spearman and goes after the ghosty boatswain.

both five foot stepped, ann is still in her ghostly form

Whoops, sorry about the wrong alias. Phone posting sucks

Piotr checks on Ann, "Are you okay?" he asks as the wide eyed terror in her eyes lifts, replaced with an embarrassed anger "Yes" she grumbled.

His concern for her, solidifies into a protective shield around her.

casting mage armor on her

piotr attack, pa: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 2 = 24
damage, pa: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 4 = 12

Piotr is distressed about his sister's blind panic, but has to hold the line, hacking away at the ghostly thing.

Okay. Posted and sorry for the delay.

Piotr looks over his shoulder to see that state that Garrosh is in, but can't do anything for him, so he tries to end this as soon as possible. Ann, still in her ghost-est-ly form concentrates on nothing more than the ending part.

piotr attack, pa: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 2 = 19
damage, pa: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 = 15

Sorry, I am travelling for work and a little scattered, checking now

Thank you for the friendly reminder, I had forgotten, completely.

damage dutiful, magic: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6) + 1 = 11

Piotr growls in anger as Winter gets gashed. Stepping forward he hacks his magical longsword into the creature, while Ann dips and stabs with her ethereal daggers.

She lacks pajamas, so couldn't join us :)

Sounds like a nice book title :)

After Garrosh tells Piotr it is intangible, Piotr steps back and concentrates on his sister. The solidness of her form wavers until she is more ghostly than ever.

five foot step back, turn Ann intangible, Ann takes a five-foot step forward and attacks, with dutiful since it attacked Piotr

ann slam, dutiful: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
damage dutiful, magic: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 1 = 6
ann slam dutiful: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
damage dutiful, magic: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 1 = 3

Ann turns away from her brother to hide a soft smile at Garrosh's words. She shouldn't have bothered, since Piotr alternates between making sure Winter is okay, strapping his last strap down on his armor, and checking on Skywin "Is there any way to tell?" he asks Tiff "With magic?" he notices the oncoming pinch. "Maybe a gentle shake before pain." he interceeds, and rests his hand on Skywin's shoulder, shaking her lightly.

Piotr smiles wide, pulling out clothes, armor, weapons, Everything, and handing it out to his companions (Winter firest). As he is getting dressed he realizes something and looks at Ann, who is rather innocently standing with her hands behind her and picking at nothing with her bare toe... still in her nightie.

She sees her brother's narrowed eyes of suspicion, as he realizes there are NO ghostly girl gear in the chest because she doesn't have 'gear'. Ann gives him a slightly guilty look before she sighed. Her nightie shifts with ease to her normal dress. "Didn't want to be left out." she grouses at him darkly.

Ann is dressed in a black cotton nightgown that is way too short in both directions. Piotr attempts to stand in front of her, which Ann will have none of since this is the first change of clothes she has had since waking up in her brother's head.

So he quickly looks around for this armor. "Let's try the chest." he goes over and looks for traps a tad too quickly...

unless someone stops him he will open it after this lovely roll.
perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

It is rather odd to see Piotr in anything but his armor, and certainly not just in shorts. He is definitely not a six-pack type of strong. More like a brick.

"What happened?" the guardsman reaches for his sword, his fist tightening around nothing, making him look even more lost.

Ann appears next to him. Green glow and dressed... ???

I always assumed Ann's attire was as fixed as her age, the same as when she died(or whatever). So just checking before continuing. Is she in pajamas?

Ann is all for reading, but can't help. Piotr votes for proceeding, Anything other than more reading :) So proceeding sounds splendid to me.

Ann's interest peaks at the notion of pirates, but she still knows better than trying to talk to the sailors. Superstitions are bad enough at the best of times. Piotr starts helping to clean up the Fly mess.

Excellent, that is better than monsters being drawn to the ship cause of a group of passengers performing strange rituals and reading occult books.

"Are they common on this route?" Piotr asks as he sheathed his sword.

He doesn't have his shield on if that matters, Mort. Which would put him at a... 19 ac, so it looks like he is still good.

Piotr drops his bow and pulls his sword, before taking a swing at the fly.

piotr attack, pa, two handed, guidance: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 11
damage, pa: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Ann steps to the side, hoping to work with her brother next round to hack this thing apart, though the rage at seeing him attacked makes her daggers sing into its flesh.

ann slam, dutiful: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
damage dutiful, magic: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 1 = 8
ann slam dutiful: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
damage dutiful, magic: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + 1 = 8

Piotr reaches for his sling, but then after a solid grumble instead pulls out the shortbow. Pulling back the string, he hesistates a moment then releases.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Ann leans forward to see if it hits, while waiting with her spectral daggers to attack any big fly that comes within reach.

readed attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

If we have time before being attacked, Piotr will cast mage armor on Ann

Piotr rushes out immediately. Is it his sense of duty, to protect those that need protecting, or... does he need something to do other than watch people read? No one will ever know.

Ann comes with him because she has to.

Ann reads her days away, chatting with the other readers, but is unfortunately little help. Her attention to detail is fuzzy still.

Piotr spends his with Winter, as long as she'll let him.

Ann takes the book she has been reading to Violet, "I found something about the ' Viscount's signet ring', but why it is in a book about Spiders and Sin I am unaware. It references two other books as well, the Spirals of Time and Theological Agreements of the Kingdom."

"Research checks cannot normally be attempted untrained unless the library’s Complexity is 10 or lower, the Research check involves a skill that allows untrained checks, or the library’s collection is extensive enough to allow untrained checks, as detailed in the library’s stat block."

so Can poor Ann who has No knowledge skills and actually has a negative intelligence ability score, due to her brain lacking bits from her past NOT CAUSE SHE IS DUMB! cause she isn't... :) leave the poor ghost girl alone... where was I? Oh, can she roll for research? She will keep reading no matter what mechanic is in place, cause she loves reading.

Ann opens up the delightfully titles "Spiders of Sin and Sky" nestling into her brother's less than comfy bed, while he spends the time cleaning his armor and weapons.

I don't think we have to get past, more we could try and loot the room. But I am happy to move on as well. Get to treasure hunting in the dreamlands :)

We could try and see if Ann could get the bathroom monster to move? Since he can't seem to hurt her in ghost form... wait, hmmm, might be okay. Ann can be 50 feet away from Piotr without concentration, and 100 feet away when he is doing nothing else other than concentrating.

Might be able to lure it away with that, but not sure if it is worth it in truth. And it might not give chase, since it hasn't seemed to move yet.
