Quisillo looks at the strangely armed skeleton, unsure of what this creature might be.
◆Recall Knowledge, ◆◆Cast Ill Omen (DC19 Will Save, Curse, Divination, Misfortune)
I came here because I hadn't gotten to talk to a ghost before, so... I'm not sure that I have more experience than you Quisillo answers to Emri.
Quisillo then stands up, fiddle in hand. He starts walking after Sazen before pausing and turning back to Emri.
Quisillo looks from Sazen to Niven.
Good dancers, those snakes. Too bad making them seems to be such an unpleasant process Quisillo idly notes while completing his song. As the ghost appears, he smiles at his first ethereal vision, an expression quickly frozen as the apparition proves to be both bloody and angry. Despite his discomfort, Quisillo studies the ghost as much as can be during its short period of visibility.
His studies completed without much to show for it, Quisillo will sit down against the wall, humming lightly, trying to figure out a good rhyme for necrophilous.
Quisillo smiles as his companions all take up dancing. He sets his own tune to the rhythm of his brother's motions.
He thensends another blunt object flying towards Red.
If Red is already dead: switch to Stride and Telekinetic Projectile on Green, without Inspire Courage
As the necrophilius begins his dance, Quisillo begins to sing and slowly sway, his own dance move attempting to attract the attention of his allies away from the necrophilius
Focusing on his own moves lets Quisillo ignore some of the necrophilius' unnatural attraction, though he does find himself put off balance by such a surprising artistic diplay.
Deepening the pitch of his singing, Quisillo then turns towards a bookshelf and, with a wave of his hand, sends a heavy tome flying towards Sazen's opponent.
As Sazen quickly springs into action, Quisillo looks in bewilderment. That's not what I... He then remembers his ill-advised attempt to communicate with the tree, and the mimic's dubious welcome. Sigh.
Quisillo looks in confusion at Emri, then the skeletons, then Emri. Until he finally senses the magical nature of the skeletal snakes.
Quisillo contemplates these constructs and, as their true nature dawns upon him, heads towards the rest of the group. Hum... you know... there is dark magic here. Those snakes... aren't really snake. Someone made them out of people.
Getting close to the dead mimic, Quisillo tilts his head, looking at the corpse.
Quisillo then follows Emri around the room, opening his First World's connection to the arcane, feeling any source of magical energy. It does however mostly look as if he is wandering around aimlessly, eyes unfocused, while Emri is doing all the work.
Quisillo, without a good view of the furniture, ◆Strides into the room, then begins to sing a woodcutting jig learned in a farming village years ago (◆Inspire Courage). He then carefully observes the furniture. (◆Recall Knowledge)
Quisillo blinks uncertainly as the furniture comes to life; then, despite the threatening tone of the cabinet, he smiles brightly at this novel experience.
Quisillo catches up with the group as they work on the latch, fiddle still in hand. As the B&E specialists do their job, he gives the symbols on the door a curious look.
Quisillo tilts his head sideways, looking at Niven, and smiles.
As Morsun and Merlin start canvassing the area, Quisillo sits down next to Niven, tuning his fiddle.
You've been quiet, Niv'. What's going on?
Quisillo's playing slows down as the last centipede is taken down by the combined blows of Emri, Morsun and Merlin. He cautiously approaches the tree, peeking at it from behind Morsun. Well, so much for the excitement of meeting a living tree.
Quisillo does however appear more concerned about hiding behind Morsun than about truly looking for more centipedes...
Cutting, yes... that should be slightly better here Quisillo says to no one in particular, while briefly stopping in concerto. The music then takes a more eerie tone as a particularly sharp stone starts to hover next to the centipedes, before slashing back and forth across the swarm.
Tilting his head, Quisillo carefully considers what attacks might be effective against the swarming insects, all the while keeping his fast-paced tune going. ◆Recall Knowledge
@Niven (and everyone else): You get +1 to your damage roll from Inspire Courage.
As the centipedes burst out of the tree, Quisillo's playing speed increases.
◇Lingering Performance
The music from Quisillo's fiddle then becomes more discordant, and focused just above the groups of centipedes, until at the crescendo of his composition a blast of electric energy strikes both swarms of insects. (◆◆Cast Electric Arc)
Quisillo shrugs uncertainly at Morsun's comments, and starts playing a slow pastoral theme on his fiddle to accompany Sazen's words. I just wanted to get a better look at it, but who knows? If it likes neither speech nor music, there will be plenty of time for your crossbow to sing.
Well... not all living trees are bad, right? I mean, in an *allegedly* haunted manor, chances are that they are not good news but... should we maybe avoid making enemies before it is truly necessary? Despite saying this, Quisillo gives the tree a worried look, and takes his fiddle out.
Quisillo pushes past the door, looking with curiosity at the grounds of the manor.
Bit overgrown, isn't it? The place looks like it could be quite nice though, with a bit of work.
Quisillo starts looking at the gate, then gets distracted by Merlin's comments.
Quisillo sees everyone tense and prepare, and appears bewildered at the mood change. He hangs back next to Niven, looking at the mansion's grounds with curiosity.
I'm not sure Mister Kargos will be too happy with the current state of his inheritance Quisillo says while taking in the dilapidated buildings.
And there are these weird things all over the roof? he adds, squinting in that direction.
Well... says Quisillo, taking a bit of dried meat from his pack, As Emri already started, why don't we take a quick snack here, then see what wonders we find inside the house?
That's the fun of cooking! You can experiment, and mostly you aren't at risk of killing anyone. Much better than when I tried alchemy. Dad really didn't like that... Quisillo says with a sparkle in his eyes. Then, turning to Merlin, he adds
Hmm, I tried that once. The meat was very stringy. Wouldn't recommend it. But you gotta make your own mistakes, I guess.
Of course! says Quisillo, shaking his head.
As Niven ruffles his hair, he tries giving him an annoyed look, that however quickly turns into a smile.
You have seen a ghost before, Sazen? Been able to study them in person? What was it like?
Quisillo turns to Niven as the second raven appears.
The closer the party came to Xarwin manor, the more excited Quisillo was getting. Could they really be on their way to a cursed town? He had been promised haunted houses and ghostly apparitions before, but each and every one had ended in disappointment; a silly prank that went too far or a trick of the light with annoyingly mundane explanations. This was such an opportunity! As the manor comes into view, the young gnome's eyes can hardly leave its walls; it is only with Morsun's sudden exclamation, that his attention comes back to his companions, and to the bird watching them.
Thanks Morsun & Sazen! DM: If that's ok, Quisillo will spend most of his money on a nice fiddle (Lesser Maestro Instrument, 60gp); here is his updated sheet
Sounds good! I'll get you an updated sheet soon then.
Glad to be able to join you all! I'll be playing the fey-touched gnome Quisillo. This often distracted little fellow out of Alkenstar has a fascination for the First world and the Eldests, but can thankfully count on his brother Niven to keep him more grounded into this world. Mechanically, he can offer the usual bardic support, a bit of magic healing, debuffs, and illusions. Happy to change a few things here and there to better complement the current party though! As for myself, I have been playing PF2 for about half a year, mostly society games on the discord servers. For our GM: how would you like to handle starting equipment for the newcomers? I'm not sure what the norm is when starting at level 3, and so far haven't really looked into Quisillo's equipment besides basic armor.
That sounds great; I made a draft profile for him here. |
