Roselyn Tanglethorn's page

Hi! I have decided I will not be playing with this alias. I will instead be bringing my Lvl 1 Maestro Bard, but I have to set up his profile. I intend to do this over the next couple of days. If the deadline closes before I am able to post under his profile, I understand my spot is forfeit.

Hi again! I was asked to provide a bit more detail about my preferences. I would like to play, in order of preference: 6 > 4 > 8 > 2.

Hi! I'm relatively new to PbP for the RPG (I've only played in 1 game). Would love to play any of the quests except 2, since this character already has a chronicle for it. That said, if it comes to that, I can bring in another one of my characters (which would be a lvl 1).

Dr. Tanglethorn will return to Absalom, where she is to host a Symposium on Leshy biology studies.

Earn Income, Leshy Lore: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

I'll ret-con my previous post as it was no longer relevant and I made a mistake in the rules :p.

"Well, that explains a lot... I'm very sorry it came to this for the sake of the innocent ones" - Dr. Tanglethorn says while standing over the dead bodies of the cats. "Everyone, come close. Let me heal you."

Dr. Tanglethorn waits until everyone is close to her and then she channels positive energy, which washes over the group.

Heal (3 action version): 1d8 ⇒ 2

The wave isn't as powerful as she would have hoped, but still some of the wounds close. She procures one of her ripe raspberries from her pouch and infuses it further with positive energy.

Dr. Tanglethorn then casts Goodberry and eats the berry.

Goodberry: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Finally, she leans over the druid and searches his body looking for a sign of affiliation to a druidic circle. She would like to have some strong words sent their way for enabling or even allowing this type of behavior.

Dr. Tanglethorn's hands begin emitting a blue glow as her fingers get covered in a thin layer of frost. She holds the energy as she says in druidic: "You are clearly outmatched, brother. Stand down now and you will live. I will hear your plea and then you will leave this place, never to return. But raise even one more finger against us and you shall perish."

Dr. Tanglethorn would like to attempt to demoralize Kipp and then ready Ray of Frost with the trigger: "When Kipp moves or tries to attack anyone.."

Intimidate check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Ray of Frost attack, if triggered: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Cold Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Nope. Nothing about that in the rules. You might be thinking about DnD 5e where you can only ever cast a spell and a cantrip in a single round. No such limitations in PF2E though.

Dr. Tanglethorn stands up and notices the 2 badly-mangled bodies of the cats. Despite her almost being killed by one, she can't help but shed a tear.

Regardless, the battle rages on and so she focuses her sorrow into anger, and anger into a spell. A ray of frost shoots out of her palms.

Ray of Frost, Spell attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Cold Damage if it hits: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

I will use my Hero Point to remove the Dying condition and stabilize.

As Dr. Tanglethorn falls unconscious to the ground, her wounds begin to close as a soft, green light pulses from within her bag. Inside, Phia channels a significant portion of her energy into Dr. Tanglethorn to keep her from succumbing to the grievous injuries.

EDIT: It's come to my attention that I only need to spend a hero point at the start of my turn, so the above will happen if Dr. Tanglethorn is not healed before her turn starts.

True! Thanks for the reminder!

"Let. Me. Go!" - Dr. Tanglethorn sturggles against the lion.

Escape, Athletics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The lion's grasp on her is too strong, and Dr. Tanglethorn realizes the situation is now past being solved with words. Though it pains her, she begins preparing to cast a spell.

Flat check due to grabbed: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Though the lion's grasp slows her, she is able to complete her incantation. A burst of lightning emanates from Dr. Tanglethorn's body straight into both of the cats.

Both Red and Green Cat need to attempt a Reflex Save, DC 18.

Electric Arc, Electricity Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"Everyone. I believe these animals are being manipulated. Please let me try to defuse the situation first." Without waiting for an answer, Dr. Tanglethorn rushed past Seggiatore and then slowly approached the lions with arms raised.

Focusing on the closes lion, Dr. Tanglethorn begins speaking in a calm voice. "Neither our friends or us want to hurt you. We can find something that works for everyone. I promise you that."

Dr. Tanglethorn uses her 3 actions to move forward.

"Well said Seggiatore. I have some experience following tracks. I can lead us there. I'd much rather not dally"

Dr. Tanglethorn has a +8 Survival. Ought to be sufficient to get us through, I think.

I'd also like to pursue now, and wouldn't mind waiting 10-20 minutes to heal, refocus, etc.

"Don't lose hope yet, Dr. We will try to find him and bring him home safely." - Dr. Tanglethorn puts her hand upon the Goblin's shoulder with a knowing look - "I have to go help my friends. We'll let you know as soon as we know." Dr. Tanglethorn walks to join the others.

As she approaches Roslyn, she notices she is still hurt. "Ah, Roslyn, dear, eat this. You'll feel much better."

Dr. Tanglethorn will cast Goodberry on one of her berries and give it to Roslyn. For the next minute, when Roslyn eats the berry, she can heal 1d6+4.

"Dr. Pearlybones' son was taken. I think it is our duty to bring the young one back safely...or try to anyways."

Dr. Tanglethorn approaches Dr. Perlybones. She instinctively inspects him for wounds as she speaks "Dr. take a deep breath. We are going to help you. Now tell me, who is charbones?"

Dr. Tanglethorn's relief over having convinced one of their attackers to stop turns to ash in a second as she turns around and sees that the situation has already devolved on full-on combat.

Dr. Tanglethorn closes her eyes briefly and takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself as she mutters a calming mantra quitly.

Dr. Tanglethorn casts Guidance on herself.

"You should go, friend" - she says to the lion she managed to convince with a pained expression on her face - "You are not safe here."

Dr. Tanglethorn would like to Make a request to convince Green Lion to leave with her Green Empathy

Green Empathy, Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23

Without a moment to spare to see her new Lion friend to safety, she rushes to another of the attacking animals, trying to interpose herself between it, the goblins and her other companions.

Dr. Tanglethorn approaches Purple Lion with one of her actions.

Dr. Tanglethorn will Move->Move->Request, using Wild Empathy to make 'a very simple request of them (animals). In most cases, wild animals will give you time to make your case'.

With her senses heightened by her herbal remedy, Dr. Tanglethorn reacts to the snapping twig incredibly fast. She rushes to the source of the sound, wayfinder held aloft in one hand and her Holly and Mistletoe charm in another.

As she approaches, she sees unmistakeable eyes of a feline reflecting her wayfinder's light. "Please! Stop! If you are hungry, we can feed you and yours. We don't want to hurt you, but we are not defenseless! We can't let you continue taking ours in the night..."

Acknowledging that my action might be wasted, I decide to give it a shot anyways.
Wild Empathy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

I'll hero point it!
Wild Empathy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

That was quite the improvement!

Also, as a reminder, Dr. Tanglethorn is a Sensate Gnome, so she has Imprecise Scent 30ft. It might be possible for Dr. Tanglethorn to detect foes within her Scent range (which might be increased or decreased depending on wind conditions).

If there's still time, Dr. Tanglethorn would like to go to the southern bridge and the northern gates and use one of her scrolls of alarm on each, choosing the audible alarm option.

Then she will position herself near Gazard and wait out their attackers. Just before nightfall, she will drink one of her Eagle Eye Elixirs. After an hour has passed, if there are still no signs of the attackers, she will drink another one.

For the first 2 hours, Dr. Tanglethorn will have a +1 Item Bonus to her Perception, bringing her modifier to +9.

I'm also assuming we didn't have a chance to rest per se, did we?

After the conversation with the group, Dr. Tanglethorn joins Roslyn in trying to track their bestial attackers.

Survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Regardless of whether we learn about any druidic circles or not, I'd like to act on my hunch and do something fun.

Later, as the group goes about their business, Dr. Tanglethorn goes in a stroll around the perimeter of the camp and carve 'parley?' in druidic on the logs of the palisade.

"I'm sure this is all a big misunderstanding. Here's hoping we can get this resolved without violence, right Phia?' Her leshy responds by excitedly fluttering about.

Roselyn's Soceity modifier is +2. If guidance can be used for the check, she would like to use it on herself, making it a +3

After coming back from her visit to the infirmary and reconvening with everyone else, Dr. Tanglethorn takes a few moments to take everything in.

"It is strange for big cats to so brazenly attack a camp this big and to ignore meat that is right in front of them. This combined with their rather mysterious way of coming and going makes me think we might be dealing with a less-mundane threat than it seems. Summoners, perhaps?" - Roselyn says as she paces around the camp, mulling on the ideas.

"Do any of you know if there is perhaps a druidic circle in the vicinity? This is somewhat reminiscent of what certain... particularly radical druidic organizations would think of as a reasonable approach to conflict resolution" - Dr. Tanglethorn says, addressing the group.

Dr. Tanglethorn isn't likely to have the right skill to figure out if there's an active group of druids in the area unless Nature can be used (I imagine the appropriate skill is Soceity), but she can cast Guidance on someone who does have the knowledge.

Knowing that Seggiatore has the Diplomacy and information-gathering aspects under hand, Dr. Tanglethorn would like to first introduce herself to Doctor Pearlybones, offering to help with the wounded if needed. Roselyn's medicine is a bit unorthodox, but very effective! Just don't ask what's in her remedies. You don't want to know.

I think Dr. Tanglethorn would have stayed behind with the Goblins and taking care of any wounded and such, so I'll forfeit my vote.

Seeing how Seggiatore seems to have the negotiations under control at the moment, Dr. Tanglethorn instead focuses on assessing the damage done to the wagons. She is trying to determine which ones are still in usable conditions, and what repairs she might be able to perform on the ones that are not to ensure the wagons make it in as close to one piece to their destination as possible.

I believe this is covered by the Craft skill, so I'll that. Please let me know if I should roll something else.

Crafting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Once that is taken care of, she will go to Seggiatore with an Elixir of Life for himself and another for the bandit (assuming they don't flee or turn hostile) to try and help out with the negotiations as she can.

Check to aid, Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Success! Seggiatore's check would get +1 added if the help can be reasonably given (not that he needed it, but I feel that that's what Dr. Tanglethorn would do!)

Dr. Tanglethorn surveys the battlefield and notices that their attackers are down to 1 combatant.

She thinks about talking this person down, but she doesn't think her voice will be heard over the battlefield's clamor, so she opts to try and slow him down by pushing him into the nearby pond.

Dr. Tanglethorn moves past Seggiatore and Roslyn, positioning herself to push Blue Circle into the pond. Then she will cast Hydraulic Push targeting him.

Hydraulic Push: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Bludgeoning Damage: 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 1) + 1 = 7

Move -> Cast Hydraulic push. In addition to the damage, Blue Circle is moved back 5 feet into the pond (I'm assuming 23 wasn't a critical hit).

"Everyone, let's try to keep this one alive. We need to know who is sending this people to attack the caravans!"

Roselyn will cast Electric arc targetting Red Square and Red Circle. They each have to make a Basic Reflex Save DC 18.

Electricity Damage: 1d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

Then she will move so that she is in the back-lines again, near by the red wagon.

As two more assailants come around the corner, Roselyn lets out a powerful electric discharge from her finger tips, her hair rising on ends. She uses the distraction the electric arc causes to retreat into relative safety.

Question about Inspire Courage: Would the wagons have blocked the emanation? I'll assume that it didn't, but was curious.

Startled by the sudden explosions, Roselyn jumps to her feet. "Phia, hide! I'll see what's going on" - Phia obeys and goes inside of Roselyn's backpack.

Roselyn jumps out of the wagon and sees Seggiatore putting out fires. In the distance, Rosie and Sir Reinhart seem to be engaging what Roselyn now realizes is a group of attackers.

She joins Seggiatore behind one of the wagons and casts Ray of Frost at the nearest opponent.

Roselyn will move behind the Yellow Wagon and cast Ray of Frost against Red Circle. She is getting +1 ATK & DMG from Inspire Courage (unless it was blocked by Roselyn being inside the Wagon when the emanation happened.

Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11
Cold Damage: 1d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

I imagine that missed. That's a shame. It was max damage!.

Loving the act! This group can go straight into Extinction Curse and feel right at home :p.

Roselyn, noticing Seggiatore's act, will walk up to him, also huffing and puffing. Just WHO do you think you are, impersonating Yigrig Moneymaker, huh? Surely just another thief!" - As he says that last bit, Roselyn will imitate the way she saw Yigrig rub his palms together as she faces the crowd with a wide, toothy grin.

Roselyn would like to attempt deception again.

Deception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Roselyn will bundle her robe and put it on her head as a make-shift turban. She will then call upon Phia, her leshy familiar.
After a few minutes of whispering her plan to Phia, Roselyn will jump to be in the middle of the circle that formed around the campfire.

"Has anyone seen my coin purse? My dearest coin purse!" - Roselyn says in her best imitation of Ygrig's voice and manners. "Ah! There's the thief! Catch it! Bring me back my MONEEEEY! - Roselyn says pointing at Phia, breaking into a chase all around the campsite while the tiny spirit flies in an erratic pattern, giggling uncontrollably.

My intention is to use Deception for this check, though I imagine one could argue that Performance is more applicable. If that is the case, let me know.

Dception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Roselyn doesn't think her puppet show is likely to be appreciated by this crowd, so she instead focuses on talking to the workers, as Muckmuck suggested. She will regale them with stories of her previous adventures so that they realize the group is not as weak as they think, trying to boost their morale.

Roselyn ponders the information for a few moments.

'Mr. Moneymaker, I imagine that your position as deal broker requires a fair amount of discretion about the deal's specifics until it has been successfully completed. However, given the circumstances, could you please share with us a few more details about its terms? For instance, and I think this is particularly important to our case, you mentioned that Solku benefits from this deal by gaining the materials it needs to defend itself. From what? And how are these materials helping them defend themselves exactly?

And just before you answer, let me assure you that, as agents of the Pathfinder Society, it is in our best interest to represent our factions as favorably as possible, and would never divulge information shared with us in confidence by a reputable businessman such as yourself.

As she asks this, Roselyn is examining Ygrig closely and trying to determine if he seems nervous, or if he appears to be lying. I imagine this would use her +8 Perception. Also potentially relevant, her Diplomacy Modifier is +6.

Was there perhaps a small typo in Ygrig's response? It appears as if he would have listed two rumors, but instead he said animals twice.

Regardless, Roselyn would be paying attention to his expressions and such as he responds to the other's questions. She is particularly interested in his reaction to Sir Reinhart's question, as Roselyn expects Ygrig's might be withholding information. Roselyn's Perception is +8

Roselyn would like to take the Nature check. Her modifier is +8.

"Dear me. But that's horrible. I'm sorry you and yours are going through this. I think I speak for everyone when I say we will do our best to help you. And yes, I personally do have some questions."

"First the obvious: have any of the surviving crew reported hearing or noticing anything strange? A sound in the night, feelings of being watched, that sort of thing...

The new pathfinder's entrance gave Roselyin the perfect excuse to stop her failed attempt at a greeting. She instead turned her attention towards the newcomer.

"Ah, yes. Well, the Venture Captains can have a rather unique sense of humor sometimes, though I suspect this is merely a bureaucratic 'happy coincidence'. - Roselyn extended her hand once more. "You can call me Dr. Tanglethorn, if that suits you better, and this here is Dr. Shobbs."

"I noticed your insignia. You come representing the Horizon Hunters, I presume? Always glad to have like-minded individuals around!"

A loud *THUMP* sound is heard somewhere outside the lounge, followed by what sounds like some falling pans and some shattered glass. Shortly thereafter, a green-haired gnome dressed in curiously stained laborer's garment walks in, dusting herself off as she does, accompanied by a bespectacled Goblin that is hurriedly trying to stuff a number of vials and books into his traveler's pack.

The gnome woman looks around the room and lets out a sigh of relief. "Oh! It looks like we made it in time after all, Dr. Shobbs. What a relief" - she turns around to help the Goblin who, in his haste, continues to drop the papers and knick-knacks he is trying to stow away. Once the items have been put away, she approaches the group.

"Excuse my manners and...well, the ruckus. I am Dr. Roselyn Tanglethorn, and this is my assitant Dr. Shobbs. Nice to make your acquaintance, gentlemen" - Roselyn extends her hand to Seggiatore, expectingly.

Hi all. I'm very curious about PbP for the RPG, but I haven't played before. I have been playing PACG via PbP for a couple years now, however, so I'm used to the forum's formatting and know the type of commitment PbP entails.

My character, however, is a a Lvl 2 Leaf Druid. I haven't filled out her profile as much yet, but would do it before the game starts.

Looking forward to playing with you!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I haven't played this module before.
