Rickle, Goblin Champion's page

Yes, I got it both times. Thank you!

"Um. You should probably talk to our Venture-Captain," says Rickle uncertainly, [b]"We can take someone back!"[b]

Stomping, shouting, and waving a weapon around? Easy stuff! For this, Rickle leaves his sword sheathed and pulls his horsechopper out of its harness instead.

And then he starts stomping, shouting, and waving a weapon around.

Athletics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Athletics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Athletics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

"Heh." The heavily-armored giggles. "Maybe I could be 'courtly' after all! Though I can definitely do the Warrior Dance!"

"I can do a warrior dance!" says Rickle excitedly, "Or, um, freestyle?"

The others sound hard. "Or any of them!" the goblin boasts.

Brod fishes. Rickle helps.

Fishing Lore: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Brod succeeds anyway. 3 sp x 8 days = 2.4 gp.

Rickle laughs. "Sounds like you do mean harm."

The goblin shrugs at Mahatma. "I'm better at fighting. But you're not supposed to stab people if you don't have to unless you're a Bad Guy."

Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

This is.. a little tougher... to push through...

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Rickle dodges away--and out of the shifting labyrinth. "Over here!"

Oh, this is easier.

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Yes, much easier.

Oh. This is hard.

Occultism: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Rickle strains to remember anything else.

PFS Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

PFS Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Hero Point: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Rickle tries to remember what a Narven is.

Oh wait, now he's got it mostly!

"Keep going! Keep going!"

Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Encouragement helps. And yelling counts!

Rickle lets Brod take the lead a little.

Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

"I know all about the Maze, probably! This is a shortcut, we can catch up!"

PFS Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Works for me.

This time, Rickle disregards Horal's instructions.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

That works much better!

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Rickle stumbles a bit. Don't follow bad advice!

Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Oh, was that all he was gonna say? Okay.

"And we can explain why!"

Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Hero Point: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"Huh, I thought it would be warmer."

"Uh. Okay. I'll go talk to the fire one!"

Hireling Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

"Let's see... why do I know about bigshot elementals and planes?"

Rickle's halfling partner whispers something in his ear. "I already knew that!"

Description based on the fact that he would have succeeded at the Religion check without hireling help.

"Rickle of Sarenrae!" Rickle bows, "But we are the Pathfinders. The Maze is... going wrong. Do you know what happened?"

"...are you sure you guys wanna keep doing this? Sarenrae grants me magic to help convince bad guys that doing bad stuff is bad, but it doesn't even work if you can't hurt anybody! You're just not very good at this. Just stop."

But, well, as long as they are doing this...

◆ Raise Shield
◆ Strike Pink dogslicer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 for slashing damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11
◆ Strike Pink (or Red) dogslicer: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 4 = 27 for slashing damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8
↺ Whichever is triggered first, Shield Block or Glimpse of Redemption if an enemy withing 15 feet damages an ally within 15 feet: The enemy can either choose to deal no damage after all, or the ally gains Resist all 6 against the triggering damage and the enemy becomes either Enfeebled or Stupefied 2 until the end of its next turn. If they choose that, Rickle will inflict Enfeebled if it was a physical attack or Stupefied if it looks more like a spell.

The wind at his back helps Rickle stay close to the violent fey.

Rickle's in a pretty good position, and already drawing enemy attacks.

So, keeping his shield up, he just attacks with his own sword.

◆ Raise Shield

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

"That's not nice!"

Pushing himself up from where he's suddenly fallen, Rickle moves to get close to as many of the creatures as he can.

He's ready to use Sarenrae's power to show them that they shouldn't attack people unprovoked--but first he uses his sword to give a more immediate argument that it's just unwise.

◆ Stand up
◆ Stride; I'm assuming this enters the aura, so Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 or Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18; temporarily immune. This also provokes RS from Yellow and Blue, if applicable.
◆ Strike Yellow Dogslicer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 for Slashing damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 1) + 4 = 11
↺ Glimpse of Redemption if an enemy withing 15 feet damages an ally within 15 feet: The enemy can either choose to deal no damage after all, or the ally gains Resist all 6 against the triggering damage and the enemy becomes either Enfeebled or Stupefied 2 until the end of its next turn.

Rickle peeks inside the box.

Hireling Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

"It's probably supposed to do that!"

"So everyone agrees the dwarf is the healer. So the rest are probably right, too!"

Tired of pushing heavy statues around, Rickle rings the bell.

"She doesn't go in the bottom left, either," says Rickle, pointing at the dwarf. He indicates her baton. "That's a wand, and the decoration tells me it's primal life magic! I'm sure she's not the Gardener, so she must be the Healer."

"The Donkey is prepared for all kinds of conditions and weather. Traveler, maybe?"

"The Human's pouch is for seeds or herbs. Gardener?"

Level 3 and 4 characters should have Mentor Boons.

Oh, and you asked for downtime rolls: Fishing Lore: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Failure = 4 cp x 8 days = .32 gp.

"Those are funny names," says Rickle.

This observation isn't terribly helpful, so he follows his associate's lead.
Although it looks like we have enough successes already to just know the answer.

Nature (human): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 = 19
Nature (dwarf): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30
Nature (elf): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17
Nature (donkey): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Society (elf): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Religion (elf): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

"Yeah, we never really got elves."

Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Rickle's halfling companion points out something to him.
"Brod says these flowers should be extinct--lemme climb up to see if I can find something."

Since the Venture-Captain said something might be dangerous in the Maze, Rickle had held his shield and dogslicer at the ready. But now he sheathes the weapon to climb.
Athletics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

"That's surprisingly hard to climb--and I can't get over if I try. Guess that makes sense. There's magic capping the top."

PFS Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
PFS Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

As they reach the courtyard, Rickle looks around in wonder and apprehension at the large buildings contained within the Maze. "Dunno what that is, but that guy--" he points at the statue "--is Narven, who built the maze. Are those the same flowers? Fresh? I'm gonna check!"

Athletics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Rickle climbs up close to examine (or collect?) the roses on the garland.

"Rickle of Sarenrae!" says a goblin with a big grin.

Rickle carries traditional goblin weapons, but his shield is painted with the symbol of Sarenrae, and he also has a silver pendant bearing her symbol.

He's accompanied by a halfling wearing outdoorsy clothing--but it's certainly not armor, nor is he armed with more than a knife.
Hireling.

Rickle is a Skillful Mentor:

While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you provide vital advice to sharpen your newer colleagues’ skills. For any
PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase the Level Bump’s modifier to skill
checks to 2.
Normal: A Level Bump increases a PC’s skill check modifiers by 1.
Special: A PC can only benefit from two mentor boons

I could switch to a lower-level character if it helps?

Prizes??: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Fishing Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Got it, thank you!

"The box with lizards in it really does have lizards but they're really big and dangerous lizards that attacked us when we opened the box so we had to fight them off so they may be a little bruised but they're still alive in the box and the box with the incense has some broken sticks and they're all powdery and it gives off stinky fumes that make you feel sick so it's dangerous and you should wear a mask to open it but most of it is there and it's not sabotage and the other two boxes are yucky but it looks like that's what you wanted so they're okay but the barrel that was supposed to be ale was just rats and bombs," says Rickle, "We put 'em out. The bombs. And most of the rats but don't tell Zekki."

Rickle looks around and sees that he's successfully prevented any of the rats from escaping in this direction. That's good, but it means he's no longer anywhere near the action!

He hurries over.

**** StrideStrideStride

Rickle uses his shield to push the rat away so it doesn't do as much damage.
Reaction: Shield Block. Damage to Rickle reduced to 3, but his shield also takes it.

He then continues attacking with his dogslicer.
[As the rat falls, he grabs it and drags it off the edge of the dock to douse the bomb.]
OR
[After a decisive attack, he presses his advantage!]

* Strike Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 for slashing damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9; that looks like a crit? Rickle has Crit Specialization with his Divine Ally, so if so it's flat-footed until the start of his next turn--assuming that it survives the damage, anyway.
** If it's down, push it off the dock, dropping his shield if he has to.
OR
* Strike Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 for slashing damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
* Raise Shield

"Whoa! No, uh-uh!"

Rickle chases after the fleeing rat. It moved so quickly! He runs past it to cut off its escape--really can't let a mobile bomb go that way--before swinging his weapon again.

* Stride
* Stride
* Strike Dogslicer: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 for slashing damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

No, no AoO. I think for Champions that's a sixth-level feat.

Less concerned about the rats than the apparent explosives, Rickle sets off after the one running along the docks. He's not equipped to disable the bomb, but disabling the rat and throwing it in the water is a solid option.

He brings his dogslicer down.
Hoping that got its attention, he then brings his shield up.

* Stride
* Strike Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 for slashing damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
* Raise Shield if the rat is still up. If it's down, Stride adjacent to the blue one instead.

Rickle stands nearby, ready.

Knowing little about mechanics, though, he just tries to give Zekki space.

"There was supposed to be one more, so.. probably?"

"Ale!" says Rickle, "Uh, that's the one that was on the list that was missing anyway."

Rickle's training was unorthodox. Ritual is the aspect of religion he knows the least about.

Still, he'll always try!

Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Well... celery is kind of a trap," says Rickle, deflating a bit, "It's like food, but without any food in it."
