Raevin's page

Sorry for my absence...I've been laid up immobile in bed for almost 2 weeks with a back injury... thanks for getting this finished up and all...

"You want to travel with us? That would be fine... you're very welcome... how does that work exactly... I mean how do you travel?"

"yes, we will gladly share what we know with you... it seems it's only right to do so."

sorry if I'm slow posting the last few days and the next few as well... We are suffering from high winds and surrounded by fires in all directions. Constant power outages from the winds and service outages from both power problems and the fires are playing hell with my connection. I will post as I can, but please bot me if necessary.. thanks.

"Greetings Princes Song Rui. I am Raevin, a representative of the Pathfinder Society. We have come here to seek a scroll case which is believed to contain the 29 final prophecies of the last emperor of Lung Wa. We have heard that only a true heir of Lung Wa can interpret them, but if this interpretation can be made in Shokuro, it ensures your nation a high political position among the Successor States. Would you allow us to take this scroll back to Shokuro? We would be most grateful."

Raevin nods, concurring with the others... "Seems straightforward enough... Let's hit the road, eh?"

too true... the best and the worst... sorry for my lack of posting... I'm swamped by the holiday weekend... bot me if nec.

"Make stuff up? I thought we did rather well considering how close we were to losing the real map forever. So..." he says, then pauses long enough for her to look at the map, if she does. "Is there enough information there for you to find it?"

"I've no reason to pursue this further if the map is in our possession, though the boy clearly needs some guidance. Either someone to help redirect his life goals, or some serious training to get better at the sneaking and acquisitions field." Raevin shrugs, as if to convey which path he takes is of little consequence to him, though it might be of much consequence to the boy.

I forgot only 3 of us were there... silly me

Raevin would have exclaimed loudly enough for the other sneakers to hear, "Get the others quick! we've got to catch Jianghong... he's out the window... come downstairs!" before jumping out the window himself.

"Stop, we'll catch you... you're surrounded by my friends... there's no place to escape to. It'll go easier for you if you surrender now."

bluff: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Raevin runs then leaps forward and tries to jump past Jianghong... landing between him and escape...

acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

acrobatics to dive through the window after him, with a tuck and roll to land on feet near the fleeing Jianghong: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Assuming Jianghong is running, Raevin gives chase...

will hold off on 2nd and 3rd rolls til I see what the rest of the party will be doing.

Raevin runs to the window to see what the shadow is/was... and follow it if it was an actual person or thing and not just a trick of the moonlight.

disable to open lock: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22

Raevin pulls out his mw tools and gets to the task of disabling the lock, making short work of it. Before opening the door he pauses to listen at it, then pushes the door slowly open if he hears nothing.

perc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Raevin will take the initiative to sneak upstairs and see if he can retrieve the original map. or at least make a really good copy of it if there's time and it can't be moved.

stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

perc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Raevin will sneak later post...on phone at present

"Our mandate is clear and we'll do our best not to interfere with the day to day operations of the school... We are just here to observe."

bluff: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

oh my.... I'm so glad a 1 doesn't mean I lose one of the ones I already got! lol.

perc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

"Perhaps there is another, original, map elsewhere... this silk isn't very old and the brushwork style is modern."

Just got home from the vet. Had to say goodbye to a dear companion kitty today. I'm a wreck and may or may not post later. Tomorrow morning I leave on a 4 day retreat, so my posting may be spotty if at all during those four days. Please bot me as necessary... sorry and thanks.

Raevin stands to the side to watch the strong folks try to move the lid. If no one can, then he'll step forward to assist...

diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Raevin has no luck asking questions around town.. will buy some holy water if there's any to be had in this town.

"Really? I'd think it was the height of folly.. I guess I'm missing the point. Explain?"

You're lucky then, I get booted out every time I'm idle for more than an hour or two.

I'd like to the calligraphy school inkstains, but I suppose we can do the other first, and then visit the school at a later date."

can you give us a little recap of what the remaining missions are please? thanks.

acro to avoid aoo: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

to hit: 1d20 + 2 + 2d6d1d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (10) + 2 + (4, 2, 1, 6, 3) + 1 + (5, 3) = 37

Raevin tries again to hit his opponent, Ogre stomps around.

to hit: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 2 = 21
dmg if hits: 1d3 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (3, 4) = 10

to hit: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9
nl dmg if hits: 1d3 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (6, 2) = 11

Raevin tries Ogre STomps Around again from flank, but can't seem to get a solid hit on his opponent...

sounds great, thanks FAelyn...

It's been a week... hope you had a great time, Faelyn... Look forward to your return...

acrobatics to avoid aoo: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Raevin tumbles around to get into flank on green, and kicks him in the shins. "Ogre stomps around!

to hit: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 = 11
dmg if hits: 1d4 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (1, 1) = 5

ok.. will wait .

Sorry if I'm a few posts behind... Husband is in surgery today and probably won't be able to post again til late tonight or tomorrow... Again, sorry for any delay - feel free to bot me to keep the action moving...thanks.

Raevin tries the same maneuver again, since denying them their dexterity only benefits him further.

ogre stomps around: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
dmg if hits: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

But he seems only able to embarrass himself. He gives a little bow and takes a step back... "I don't suppose you'd like to dance." he says with a chagrined smile.

sorry moved

"I SAID... 'Ogre Stomps around'" Raevin calls out as he tries to kick the student in the shins again...

ogre stomps around: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
dmg if hits: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

.... and fails to connect... again. "Kindly stand still next time!"

"Jade Ogre STyle! Ogre stomps Around!" Raevin declares in uncharacteristic fashion as he jabs outward with a kick.

to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
non-lethal dmg if hits: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Raevin takes a seat at the table... and nods at Jiang Fei's instructions. Oh my, I hope I'm up to this." After training very hard the day before, Raevin looks a little tired, not being used to so much physical activity outside of the bedroom.

With a glance over at the Scorpion students, Raevin remarks, "They really don't look like so much after all that chatter I've been hearing... I think perhaps they are all talk. But can they back it up?... I doubt it!"

bluff to taunt: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

ooh... glad to hear you are not seriously injured, but doesn't sound like fun... take your time and deal with the necessities.. we'll wait.

"Making history is good... making money is better... Best is making both at the same time! When do we start?" Raevin smiles at her warmly, excitement dancing in his eyes.

Is there enough information there to actually find the summer palace?

"This is all fascinating, we should take some of these papers if they'll help us, and of course, the valuables as well... Though I'm sure it would all be valuable to the right collector, we obviously can't carry it all."

"I can try! Sometimes I'm pretty good with locks"

Raevin tries to pick the lock

disable: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Raevin heads into the large central room to the west... west on the map, assuming north is up

Raevin moves forward to the door and examines it for traps and to see if it's locked...

perception: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26

disable if trapped, or to unlock if nec: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Raevin, seeing the bear is blind, moves up drawing rapier and strikes...

to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
dmg if hits: 1d6 + 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + (3, 1) + 1 = 10

Raevin moves to where he can see the bear and concentrates a moment, carefully placing a glitterdust spell behind it so as to miss Fahr, hoping to blind the bear. will save dc 14 or blinded

"I can indeed sneak if necessary," he says to Dawn, as he looks for traps at the entrance.

Raevin looks about in a bit of shock and horror at the scene of death and destruction. Then, in an effort to get away from the sight, figures the inside of the building might be a respite from the scene. He slips forward and looks for traps, making sure the area is safe before someone opens the door.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

I will be attending Strategicon from Friday through Monday... Will be able to make limited posts, but not reliably nor frequently... I will try to keep up with at least one post a day, but no guarantees. Please bot me as needed to keep up the pace of the game, thanks.

Raevin looks at the note, but probably can't read it...
