Rega Nin's page

I hope all is well GM, and I wish you the best! Thank you for a fun Confirmation!

Rega frowns at the suggestion that the group name the caves. "Master Shaine, this cave... it seemed sacred to those of Azlant decent. Maybe they already have a name we should honor? If not... I think we should name it after Uori. That aside, I promise a full formal report as soon as I can!"

"Let me show you! We found ancient carvings, a model of Absolom, a deaf gilman taking a bath, skeletons..." Rega takes out her notes and goes through them with the halfling. "...And defeating a minotaur is definitely not something I thought I'd do on my first assignment as a Pathfinder Society agent."

Rega is as excitable as a teenager at this point.

"I'll be over there in a moment!" Rega uses the log to cross, not keen on getting her fur wet. When the kitsune gets to Janira's side, she casts cure light wounds on the halfling.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Rega praises Pink as she makes her way to Janira. The kitsune offers to use her magic to heal the halfling's wounds.

Out of initiative, do you still want the swim/acro check?

Rega empowers her resolve and imagines herself looking through the eyes of a tiger as she aims another shot.

Longbow, Animal Focus, Melee penalty: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 5
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Rega pants as she pushes her way through the brush and makes it to the shoreline. She sees Pink in range for attack and smiles, confident in her panther's abilities. Another arrow whistles its way towards the stubborn creature... and is too busy trying to make sure she doesn't hit pink, sending the arrow high over the beast's head.

Longbow, inspire courage, melee penalty: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 3
Damage, inspire courage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

O.O No need to apologize, take care of yourself. I hope you get better soon!

Rega pushes forward as best as she can to get a better shot before loosing another arrow at the beast.

Longbow, inspire courage: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 = 19
Damage, inspire courage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"Hey! Over here! Leave her alone!"

Sorry guys. The holiday threw me off. I'll be back on track tomorrow.

Handle Animal, link: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 4 = 23

"Pink! Help Janira, and attack the minotaur!"

Rega shouts and directs her animal companion. She moves up and fires a shot at the creature.

Longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Move to move, standard to attack, free handle animal companion. Pink, double move (I think that totals to 80' worth of movement)

Rega draws her bow and runs forth, with Pink bounding directly behind.

Ao and Jon Rooi make out enough of a fourth carving--in addition to the ones Rega was able to piece together--to determine its scene.

A man is depicted kneeling with an alms bowl raised high, representing Aroden espousing humility in all, lest they forget their shared humanity.

Yep! Maybe something to do with leaving behind a coin in an alms bowl?

It just dawned on me that you're playing in the game I'm GMing Jon Rooi. Glad you're doing ok!

Sorry to hear you were under the weather GM Blake.

Mental illness it a beast Ao. I hope all is going as well as it can!

While this all sounds helpful, and some of it mildly familiar of the ancient carvings, it all went right over my head tbh.

Rega whispers back, "I have no idea..."

Rega makes note of the ritual in her notes. "That was... interesting."

I also will note that I don't mind time skips at all if that's how you'd rather handle it.

"I think we've seen enough here. Let's push through out of the cave."

Well, I haven't saved my animal focus for nothing. ;)

All joking aside, I'd love to try the final encounter. Being ranged and having an animal companion gives me plenty of space to run if I'm careful. Plus Paltair has since posted. I think there's a shot, so long as you don't mind GM.

"I believe the necromancer found himself in over his own head. We found him dead, but his minions were most definitely not. Either way, I believe we fully intend to explore the entirety of these caverns, and hopefully we can deal with anything else we come across." Rega makes sure to lower the paper so her mouth is visible, but still forgets herself and rambles a bit while she's taking notes.

"Well Uori, that's the bad news. Have any of your kin gone missing of late? If so, we found their animated bones, and the body of a necromancer. Oh!" Rega pulls her paper and ink out of her bag and begins to take notes of everything that's happened since the room with the carvings.

Assuming Jon pointing out a secret tunnel negates the perception check

Rega inspects both the vial and the pearl, but cannot figure out what purpose they serve. Hopefully someone in the society can tell me what they are when I hand them over. She stuffs them both in her bag, leaving the cape there as well.

Spellcraft #1 DC 17: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Spellcraft #2 DC 17: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Back in the cave with Uori, Rega childishly begins looking for another rock to throw before thinking better of it, trying to walk into his line of sight, and waving to catch his attention.

Rega, frustrated at seeing her arrow fly straight through a skeleton, runs up to bite this final skeleton in primal fury.

Bite: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Damage BPS: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Is the square West of the skeleton navigable, or is the rock jutting out cutting off any chance of going around that side?
I also realized I didn't factor in the penalty for shooting into melee on my shot. My bad!

Fixed! Thank you!

Rega moves up behind Jon Rooi. "Everyone duck!"

She aims and fires at the blue circle skeleton blocking the path.

Longbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 Acknowledging the +4 for soft cover to make the AC 20, I believe that still hits!
Damage, P: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I'm scared to ask how PF2 fixes this. I have yet to try Starfinder and can't afford to buy any new materials for quite some time.

Neat! I think between RAW and RAI, there's at least a dozen ways to deal with companions. But in this case!

"Pink, attack that one!" Rega calls out, still trying to get herself ready for an attack.

Handle Animal, Link: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 4 = 24

In a situation like this, is Pink stuck on guard/heel/whatever the last command was and therefore delayed until Rega acts?

Rega takes a paper and jots some notes about this encounter with the Gilman, then says, "I bet the Eastern tunnel goes deeper, though I feel it may be... unpleasant. The Western tunnel has running water somewhere ahead. However unpleasant, my vote is the Eastern tunnel so that we may bring back a more full report to the Society.

While Jon Rooi is examining the city, Rega looks to explore the land parts of the cavern and begins roaming around, humming a work-song from her village.

I moved Rega's token in the general direction she starts walking

EDIT: I accidental posted this under the wrong alias at first. If GM Roxxie shows up in the characters, would you please move her to inactive?

Pardon the avatar change, but since Rega tends to stay furry, I thought the other inappropriate

"And I for one would love to know about the city on the pedestal!" Rega blurts out, then quickly looks down like a scolded child, but not so much as to obscure her maw. "If that's quite alright?"

Take 10 for 17 to perception

Rega covers her mouth and moves her body in a coughing motion, but instead of coughing, says, "I think he is deaf."

Bluff in case he questions the cough: 1d20 ⇒ 4

When she uncovers her mouth, she smiles and says, "Pardon me. Must be some mold in this damp cavern. I'm Rega Nin." The Kitsune gives a respectful small bow.

Rega picks up a small pebble and tries to throw it 40 ft into the edge of the water to get the man's attention.

Ranged attack, improvised weapon, three additional range increments: 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 6 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 4 - 6 = -1

Let's hope I don't hit him in the head, eh?

Taking 10 for 17 for perception, then taking 10 for 16 for stealth for my next action

Rega quietly removes the cloak draped on her shoulder and stuffs it into her pack, taking great care to make sure her paper does not get wet if the cloak is still wet, then looks to whoever took the lead down the caves questioningly.

She was also over-confident enough to think low-light vision was plenty enough for her first adventure as to not need torches, and then was shaken at seeing a minotaur. ;)

"Well, this reminds me of some religious book I read once. We may be dealing with some pretty ancient stuff here." She ponders for a moment. "I can't help but wonder if this isn't some sort of holy sight. But why would gillmen be involved?"

Rega, upon breaking from her enthrallment, feels guilty twofold. "Sorry guys. When I focus on something, I don't lose sight of it until it's finished. That's the only way my village kept fed, and Janira... I hope she's ok... Janira asked us to document what's down here. I don't think a pit of water is terribly important, but this.. I wonder how long this has been here?"

She puts her hand on Pink's muzzle and rubs soothingly, though more for Rega's comfort than Pink's. The Kitsune looks to her companions to lead forth, not wanting to be the only one to make discoveries on this journey.

If no one else does, while bringing up the back of the group, she would grab a torch off the wall.

Upon seeing the plank, Rega would go ahead and attempt to move it over the gap, asking for aid if necessary. "This way, if Janira comes behind us, she won't have so hard a time, or if we need to make a quick exit, we can run across and break the plank."

Before attempting to divine meaning from these carvings, Rega takes out her inkpen, a vial of ink, and two sheets of paper, takes a seat in front of one of the carvings, and attempts to sketch as many as she can on two sheets of paper, front and back.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 Assuming I would need to perceive these carvings in order to sketch them ;) I would choose to take 20 on this if allowed, but I'm unsure the total rules on taking 20. No matter the results of the roll, Rega would not gain any insight into identifying these until she had finished sketching and is comparing the sketches to the real thing.

Once started, Rega would be absent to the outside world unless there were a very sharp interruption.

While comparing, if any of her companions give her an odd look or question her, she would simply state: "Explore. Report. Cooperate."

Gotta remember companions on group skill checks like that.

Rega giggles like a school-girl. "Not in that armor it won't be. Why don't you throw that across first and jump? At worst the water will catch you."

Now that there isn't a cloak in the way, can we see anything down in the water? Rega has low-light vision

That last bit was supposed to come off a lot more flirtatious and cute than it did. X.x Gah

"Here, hold this!" Rega smiles and places one end of a rope in Paltair's hand. Then backs up to ger a running start and runs to jump across the pit, holding the other side of the rope. Taking 10 for a 14 assuming it is a 10 ft jump and there is room for a running start

Edit: 14 -2 for the damp walls

After putting the cloak on and inspecting the quality, Rega says, "This is beautiful.. near untarnished. Its original owner may be nearby." She pouts at the thought of relinquishing her newfound clothing before turning it over to the Society. "Or this thing is magic... hold on." She casts detect magic.

No matter the result, she would also search the pockets (if any) of the cloak.

Forgetting herself for a minute, Rega sees an article of clothing and immediately bee-lines for it. She will tie her grappling arrow to her rope and attempt to essentially fish the cloak out that way. Growing up poor, the Kitsune sees this as a blessing.

I'll roll whatever checks would be needed for that

Assuming she eventually fishes it up, Rega would immediately shake the water out and begin drying it before putting it on.

I understand. I feel for you; you were trying to do good in running something primarily for new players, and from the start I almost felt bad being in a new spot. Numbers-wise yes I'm new, but as every day goes by I feel better and better about my grasp on Pathfinder, PFS, and PbP all three.

I commend you for trying to help the Paizo community and for helping newer players get a strong start. Is admirable. =)

Rega and Pink hold open the green curtain so the others can make it in and she can provide cover if needed. Her longbow is in her hands ready to fire. "Whatever you do, do not give it a clear path to charge you. Even staunch warriors can easily be gutted like a butchered animal. I'm worried, many of the tribes of Minotaur here eat other sentient creatures."

I legitimately did a little happy dance when I saw how well that roll went. ^.^
I was going to let others do these checks, but it appears I'm the only one trained in both of these trained only skills. And I'm assuming this is a threatening moment where taking 10 is a no go.

Know(Nat): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 I'm not sure what would be a good question to ask other than does it appear to be at home in these woods?
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Rega freezes upon seeing this giant monstrosity. She watches to see if it follows Janira, then eyes her teammates, ready to follow their lead.

Rega says a prayer to Golarion herself before slowly scanning the trees looking for shortcuts. Cast guidance on self

Survival, Guidance: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 = 26
