Playtest Pooka's page

Mine should be 192133-1501! Thanks again for running, GM :)

Not at all! It's amazing just how quickly stuff can get the drop on you IRL and that should always come before PbP. So I don't blame you at all and I hope things will even out for you soon :)

As far as the game itself goes, I'm also inclined to leave it here because my own RL is busy and it wouldn't hurt me to lose a game or two. So I think I'll be bowing out at this juncture as well but I also hope that won't stop the rest of the group from finding a new GM and finishing up if that's what they want to do.

True; I can go either way - finishing would be fun but I definitely understand if we end up needing to shutter the game.

Not since her PM but we're creeping towards that time of year where things get busy for a lot of folks so that might have something to do with it.

Pooka frowns, still noisily chewing on a piece of sausage left from breakfast. "Thinks we shoulds go to the Puddles next," the goblin suggests. "Mores information can'ts hurt, right?"

Not going to lie, I've not been able to keep up with the updates either so continuing on as we were suits me just fine.

Though it shouldn't affect my posting too much, my work schedule has been shifted to solely night shifts in the wake of our one dedicated night shift person quitting unexpectedly. This will probably be what I'm doing for the somewhat-foreseeable-future so you'll be less likely to see posts from me during daylight hours (say, anywhere from about 8-10am up to 5-7pm CST).

Obviously this won't actually be relevant until we get started again but I wanted to give a heads up now :)

Hey, welcome back! :)

Pooka lifts one arm and sniffs her armpit curiously, then shrugs. "Meh. Smelleds worse but I knows people don't like stink. Bathtimes then! Maybes those new leads will be readys by the time we're done!"

And so Pooka follows suit with the rest of her companions and wanders off to the baths...

I should be fine to continue playing in a few weeks; I'll try and keep an eye on the campaign in case that weird 'no notifications of new posts' bug pops up again.

And yes, thank you very much for running and I look forward to continuing when you return! :)

"Ooh, nice hats," Pooka grins, immediately trying it on before anyone can object. "What you thinks? Is it mes?" she asks, spinning around for a moment, the floppy hat perched ridiculously on her head, her oversized goblin ears peeking out from underneath it.

"Heh! Playing dress-up is funs," Pooka continues, pulling the hat back off her head and passing it over to Tessel. She peers over the woman's shoulder, curious, trying to help make sense of the journal entries they'd found.

"List of slaves? That'd make it easys for someone to finds them and...and kills them," the goblin frowns, her expression now quite serious. "We shoulds report this back to the Lodge!"

"We should goes and reports," Pooka remarks, grinning widely in satisfaction at a job well-done. "But first let's see whats shinies there are! Shinies, shinies, shinies!"

With that, Pooka eagerly chases after Cain. "Waits for mes, don't takes all the good stuffs!"
____________

Perception: Seek +1!

Okay, noted. Since we're still in combat rounds I think Pooka will have to wait until the next round to attempt to help Cain.

Are the rest of us able to aid Cain in some manner?

"Heys! You won't gets away with thats!" Pooka cries as she attempts to leap across the gap of sludge to the opposite side...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

...and then moves up the tunnel a bit before attempting to fire another arrow at the fleeing kobold!

Attack (Shortbow): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Yes, I hope you're feeling better! No rush on the game; we'll be here :)

Actually yeah, from the initial recruitment post - seems a bit sudden but maybe we've hit that 'late September' point?

With the tide of battle firmly shifted to their side, Pooka lets her singing echo and fade away as she hustles after the single kobold and her companions. As she reaches the corner she finally has sight to the creature and attempts to bring it down with her bow!

Attack (Shortbow): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

"Kobolds not as smarts as dragons; dragons knows when to gives up!"
____________

Pooka will Stride twice and then Strike with her shortbow!

Sorry to see you go Kyra; hope to see you around in future games!

Pooka continues to cheer her companions on, even as she pulls out a shortbow and readies to fire an arrow into the fray - provided the others leave some kobold for her!

~Hey, hey, gos, fights, wins,
Hey, hey 'til the ends!
Hey, hey, gos, fights, wins,
Until the very ends!~
____________

Pooka recasts/concentrates on Inspire Courage and spends (two?) actions to draw and ready her shortage!

Like numbat1, I ended up playing this yesterday with my local lodge - or at least this part and one other part. So Pooka will also step back a bit from making any big decisions at certain points...though she will remain as mouthy as usual :3

Pooka nimbly hops up on the nearby ledge and races advances just around the corner to see what's happening even though she already basically knows what's happening. She just likes to see it for herself.

"Hah! Stupid Baby Sharks can'ts sneak up on anyones," she cackles gleefully before starting up a little cheer to inspire them all.

~Ra ra ree,
Kicks them in the knees
Ra ra rass,
Kicks them in the other knees!~
____________

Pooka will 'Stride' to her current map position and then cast 'Inspire Courage' which has a 1 round duration; you inspire your allies with words or tunes of encouragement. You and all allies in the aura gain a +1 conditional bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear.

Pooka cringes, not only at the noise the trap makes and the damage it does to Kyra, but at Cain's subsequent yelp of alarm.

"Ssssshhhhh! They'll hears us!" she hisses. Then pauses, looking thoughtful. "But maybe they'll think we's a herd of elephants stomping arounds and get scareds?"

She peers at the nasty wound left by the trap and then shakes her head. "I's never been good at the 'make-not-bleedy-and-hurty' stuffs, sorry. You okays?"

Pooka also manages to clear the exposed pit trap, though with perhaps a little more difficulty than those with longer legs have. "Oof! Thats was a bit of a stretch!"

As Fazgyn bids them farewell at the sewer junction, the little gobliness grins and falls in behind Lander. "Good at beings sneaky, I is! Stinky Dragon Sharks won't know whats hits them," she whispers as she does her best to move along quietly, eyes open for trouble...
____________

Pooka's Stealth is +2 for sneaking about...

Woop woop, checking in yet again. Hopefully the forums will hold steady for longer than a day or two this time? Got an early dinner-date with the hubs so I'll catch up with Gameplay a bit later this evening!

Oh gosh! I'm so sorry that happened to you and your family during your vacation but I'm so glad that everyone is okay! Take care and we'll be here when you're able to check in, okay?

"Whoa," Pooka exclaims as Kyra comes rushing up with a rather long-winded explanation for her lateness. "Slows down and breathes before you pass out!"

Once she's certain their new arrival is not, in fact, going to pass out, Pooka turns her attention back to Fazgyn and nods. "Gots it! Be sneakys, watch for traps. I can do thats."

A lone gobliness wanders in, shaking her head and looking a bit confused.

"Whats happened? Had a strange dream alls the lights went out!"

Checking in; at work right now but will catch up a bit later once I get home :)

"She saids their friends wander off...maybes they went to try and helps too?" Pooka suggests with a shrug. "This Fazgyn kobold shoulds be able to tells us what they looks like when we go meets him, right?"
____________

Tired after a long day; sorry for the short post.

Pooka peers down into the pit as well, curious. "Wow, big pit. You keep all friends in the pits? Not a bads idea, easy to keeps tracks of them that ways...well, unless they's climbers."

She looks back up at Engashez. "Anyway yeah, whats Jorgon says. Mores informations would be nice. Don't want to kill friends thinking theys a wandering monster or one of those Dragon Sharks!"
____________

Pooka's Diplomacy modifier is also a +2.

"Meh...bosses say I need all this so I boughts it," Pooka remarks as she simply dumps her backpack out on the ground. "Rope, bedroll, lighty-makey stuff, sticks, foods, picks, stabby things...and this silversheens stuff? Looked prettys."

A little gobliness suddenly appears as though conjured out of thin air. She chews on a pencil, grinning widely and showing several sharp teeth as she looks around.

"Someone say goblin stripper? Good thing I's still got money left after buying all that stuff the bosses said I's had to buy!"

The little goblin laughs at Lander's little poem and grins at him. "I like you - use easy way to decide. Bonus for rhyming; that was good."

She sticks her hand out. "Pooka. Some of the bosses say I'm a 'vore-a-shush' Pooka, whatever that means. I likes the sound of it though so can call me that or just Pooka. I answer to both."

Yes, feel better soon!

The little goblin, who'd been amazingly still and quiet until just now, starts as the scraps of papers flutter into her face.

"Wasn't sleeping! Wasn't!" she exclaims guiltily, quickly snatching up the pieces of paper and squinting at them. Her eyes narrow for a moment in confusion...and then she flips the papers around, her expression shifting from confusion to satisfaction. "Better."

After reading the papers, she casually flings them towards the robed Pathfinder with the big brown eyes (Jorgon). "Huh. So can go poke around in sewers, play in Puddles, or go do slappy-hands with the Palm people?"

She grins, showing sharp teeth. "Sewers good place to start, says I. Lot less dumb people to get in our way down there." Then, as if remember something she'd been told, the gobliness screws up her face as she asks, "What do team think?"

Just a note that I'm hitting the lake today so I'll largely be out of pocket (and unable to post) until sometime this evening :D

Sounds good, GM! I'm at work today but will check in to gameplay as I can :)

Sorry to see you go, Skorn!

Howdy-ho, here's Ladile's first playtest character peeping in! If someone else wanted to be a bard though, it'd be no problem for me to whip up another character - I'd love to try the cleric or sorcerer out as well :)

Also the Herolab Online stuff for the playtest is quite handy if you have the money to spare on it!
