Ragnar "Handy" Sorvino's page

Mine checks out. Thanks for GMing.

I requested access.

I think I want a second Continual Flame as backup in case the first one is dispelled.

boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Oh cool!

which boon?: 1d4 ⇒ 2

A reminder for anyone who didn't take it into account yet that both Auriferous and Ragnar are adding +3 circumstance bonuses to your Day Job rolls for a combined +6.

That would be Gwynnis then.

Only to identify undead. Ragnar is in the same boat as Sir Godfrey skillwise.

Ragnar steps forward focusing on Tenth-by-Third.

"Some of our agents visited one of those libraries recently. The journals say a local tribe has been using it as a location for coming of age trials. Yes some books were ruined as they would be in any location after this long but many were intact. As were the walls, shelves, even much of the glass. Hidden away in the tapestry many people survived to pass on their knowledge and many building were preserved that would surely have been destroyed otherwise."

Ragnar will provide some examples of some of the buildings that were reported and what would have happened to them if not preserved in the rift.

using a boon from The Exchange to roll profession merchant in place of Knowledge Engineering: 1d20 + 18 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 18 - 2 + 2 = 37

"Of course that knowledge will soon be lost unless..."

Seems like there will be lots of talking today. Ragnar will switch his second level spells to Speak With Plants and Owl's Wisdom. He will still take Greater Magic Fang and extend it via his lesser extend rod but Alonso is welcome to the other 2 charges.

Not that surprising, We had 2 players with Profession (Barrister) at my classic table. Are there any humans working here?

Ragnar wanders around and hopes there are some talkative humans around.

sense motive including planer penalty: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 2 = 17
+6 if humans are involved.

"When we return we report her actions. No doubt another team will be sent to retrieve what she stole."

To Eleven-Sun-Truth "I don't see why you couldn't come with us. Could you tell us more about the Empty Court and this trial?"

She hasn't attacked. She hasn't threatened us with violence. And death seems like a severe penalty for theft despite how important the item is. Ragnar delays.

Think you mean Eleven-Sun-Truth explained that when we received them. Ragnar will go along with what the majority decides.

Ragnar pipes up. "Pretty sure snooping around Skyreach unauthorized is breaking a law or two."

Ragnar will move around looking for "an elf". Hopefully there are not many to choose from.

perception including Urban and planer: 1d20 + 21 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 21 + 6 - 2 = 42

I think you meant Alonso.

Not this character.

Alonso is the only one of us with Disable Device btw.

Weird that it mentions UE since they are in the CRB.

Ragnar shrugs and goes to tell the librarian.

"Good news. We have the engram and he is ready to leave. Bad news is he is unconscious and too heavy to move without risking damage to the books. Any suggestions?"

Assuming Spot has the carrying capacity of at least a humanoid of equal size he could drag up to 8,000 pounds. Not sure if that would be enough.

"Let's check in with the librarian before we go gunking up the books dragging that thing around. Maybe they have cleaning magic. This whole plane looks like it has cleaning magic."

Ragnar will open fire on it but stop if it stops moving.

Hugsy stays in place to defend Ragnar.

"Giving up and leaving peacefully is still an option for you."

May as well get that readied attack roll out of the way to save time.

readied attack vs hostile devil action including deadly aim, favored enemy +2, Haste, improved precise shot: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35
piercing/cold iron/magic/holy: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
extra holy: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

I consider spellcasting hostile. But not talking or drinking a potion.

Dortlin no longer has a target to shoot at but he might have an answer to the darkness. He pulls out the Wayfinder tied around his neck and it gives off a dim glow.

It is enchanted with Continual Flame. Caster level 11, heightened to spell level 6.

He will then ready an action to shoot the demon if it does anything that might be deemed a hostile act.

"Spot, defend."

Spot moves in front of Ragnar.

Ragnar is pretty sure premeditated murder is against the rules so is waiting until his allies either talk this thing into leaving peacefully or more likely, Until it becomes self defense.

Did we learn of a DR?

"May as well prepare ourselves in case he doesn't decide to leave peacefully."

Ragnar will cast Barkskin on Gwynnis Tilia-Faced and
Auriferous. +4 enhancement bonus to natural armor for 90 minutes.

"And you might have a use for this Alonso."

Ragnar loans you his Lesser Extend rod with 1 charge left.

"Maybe there are other interesting things around to tide you over until we are done with it."

diplo aid: 1d20 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) - 2 - 2 = 10

"Haven't really been there myself but I've read stories."

Ragnar looks at it and waves. Then he shrugs.

"Let them watch. We have nothing to hide."

"He speaks the truth. Many will die if something isn't done."

diplo aid: 1d20 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) - 2 - 2 = 14

Ragnar tries to keep Spot from eating the small flying thing and let's his allies do the talking.

Forgot to do this before we came through.

"Agreed."

Ragnar will use a lesser Extend Rod to cast Greater Magic Fang on Spot's bite and Longstrider on Spot.

"Barkskin or wait?"

Ragnar keeps an eye out for trade opportunities.

"That would help yes."

"The only way to win is not to play."

Ragnar glares at Alonso.

"Agree and abide by the contract or stay behind. If you can't behave here you will be a disaster when we reach a place with such strict laws."

"I of course agree to the terms."

Ragnar takes a quick look at the contract if allowed but presumably nothing is hidden.

You would be our 6th player.

58 divided by 6 is 9.6 rounded to 10. We would be high tier with no 4 player adjustment.

Ragnar nods. "Yes. The church has summoned us. No doubt a dangerous yet profitable mission awaits."

You left the Day Job area blank when providing your info. Presumably that was interpreted as no day job. If you do have one remember that Ragnar provides a +3.

My thanks to you both. I can add in the continual flame and replacement AC myself.

Do we recover 1 spent PP from recovering this sky key component? Or does that only kick in for ones we find later?

10 Ragnar
11 Alonso
10 Gwynnis
8 Palanco
8 Auriferous

47 ÷ 5 = 9.4
We round to the nearest whole number which is 9. Since we have 5 players we would be playing up but with the benefit of the 4 player adjustment.
If there is one.

Ragnar is a thin ugly human of medium height. He has a bow with the holy symbol of Abadar on it and two fancy quivers on his back.

Nearby is a large constrictor snake.

"Sadly Hugsy died from her wounds. This is Spot. Spot familiarize yourself with our friends."

Spot will stick his tongue out at the party members as Ragnar indicates they are not to be eaten. Not without a good reason anyway.

Using my reroll on my day job.

profession merchant: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (18) + 30 = 48

Taking up the offer to have heightened Continual Flame cast on my Wayfinder. I think that is spell level 6 caster level 11 50gp.

Buying Eyes of the Eagle.

And please note the death of poor Hugsy, Replacing with another large constrictor snake and fully training it by taking 10.

Ragnar adds +3 to everyone's day job rolls.

Hugsy is free to replace. The only issue with replacing animal companions is that between adventures you can only train them in a # of tricks = to your ranks in Handle Animal. But Ragnar has more ranks then the # of tricks Hugsy can learn so it is fine.

Correct. Assuming you started with a speed of 30.

I was talking to Suade about that Saturday. Hard pass. Good luck.

Agreed.

We sare looking for more players for a high tier core run of PFS #10-15: Tapestry's Trial.

hugsy reflex save vs slam #1: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 17
hugsy reflex save vs slam #2: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12

You have joined the steadily growing group of GMs who have killed one of my animal companions. I think with 2 more it becomes an official club.

Same here.

The blurb tells us we are going to the realm of Law Axis.
Mechanically that will mean there are penalties for non-lawful characters.
Ragnar and Hugsy are both Neutral.
