Rusty Metals's page

Thanks for rescuing the group!

I'll wait to grab the chronicle until it has those codes. Also, 2 prestige or something else?

As the threat is resolved, Rusty quickly returns to the downed dog outside. They check for a pulse and stabilize it if necessary.

If it lives, they take it back into town to the vet clinic they are working at and attempt to rehabilitate the pup for adoption.

If it dies, they bury the poor soul in a nice grave. They do not do the same for the humans.

Did we complete the following FJC when we freed those prisoners in the first part?

Liberate one or more captives, hostages, or slaves during an adventure.

Player Name: Pete H.
Characters Name: Rusty Metals
Character Number: 123584-18
Faction: Liberty’s Edge
Dayjob: Profession: Veterinarian t: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Profession: Veterinarian 2-star GM reroll: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16 for 10g

Rusty comments, ”Usually alcohol doesn’t make things fuzzy like this guy looks. Also, I haven’t drank in at least an hour. Perhaps this dude has a magical effect on him to make him blurry?”

It seems like more of a rhetorical question though as the Android yells ‘alakh’ and Cece charges in to chomp.

Handle Animal CeCe DC 10 to attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Rusty attempts another tricky maneuver, this time diving through the dazed foe’s legs and appearing on the stairs above him.

Acrobatics DC 5 + CMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

The Android stabs again, their rapier already covered in blood.

MW Cold Iron Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 for Cold Iron/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 for Crit Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

I think that will drop this foe? If not, I will get CeCe involved. Let me know.

Rusty sprints up and dives through the doorway, coming up out of their roll with a flourish and stab!

Acrobatics - full speed penalty - 2 enemies penalty: 1d20 + 10 - 10 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 10 - 2 = 18

They mutter, ”Cayden would be proud of that one.”

MW Cold Iron Rapier at Yellow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 for Cold Iron/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 3

And lastly, the android points at their target and yells, ”Alakh!”

Handle Animal (Cece) DC 10 attack yellow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Rusty moves into a flanking position with Cece and emotionlessly tries to finish off the dog.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

MW Cold Iron Rapier + Outflank: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 4 = 21 for Cold Iron/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 3

The android focuses on the next reachable threat, moving up to stab at the injured dog.

MW Cold Iron Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 for Cold Iron/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Confirm?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

They then whistle and command Cece to join the battle.

Handle Animal (Cece) DC 10: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Rusty takes advantage of the busted door and darts inside to stab the crossbowperson.

Acrobatics if enemy not dazed: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

MW Cold Iron Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 for Cold Iron/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The Android casts a quick and familiar spell upon Cece, then moves up while drawing a rapier. Their leg ‘muscles’ tense for combat.

Cast Magic Fang on Cece, Swift Action activate Animal Focus: Tiger for +2 Dex, Move while drawing rapier.

Cece follows along to defend her master.

Rusty allows the wolfman to attempt his wolfy communication. The android comments, "If that fails, I have had success in the past befriending dogs. Well technically it was only once and I have never repeated that success. But I guess I could try. If he fails and we aren't fighting, of course."

Rusty follows Zaxia’s lead and runs their tactile sensors (hands and fingers) over the plain box.

Will to disbelieve?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 (+4 if mind effecting)

Skipping would be acceptable to me.

The Android comments, ”The prior owner of this body was quite fluent in the common tongue, which I fortunately inherited when my soul took over. That knowledge indicates there are a lot of words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently. Like read (reed) and read (red). I expect this riddle implies one of those oddities. Oddly enough you have stumbled upon one when listing white birds. Because dove (duv) also can be pronounced dove, with a long ‘o’ sound. And if my guess is correct, that form of dove matches the riddle perfectly.”

They then move over to the magical box and scan it.

Spellcraft t: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Rusty looks the chests over, hoping to figure out why they are all so unique.

Perception chest 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Perception chest 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Perception chest 3: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Perception chest 4: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Perception chest 5: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

”Interesting,” they add while absentmindedly chewing on the edge of a silver coin.

Rusty adds, ”It should seem in your self interest to help as well, considering if everyone dies there will be no one to broker information with.”

Diplomacy Aid if needed: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

Rusty moves in to provide a flank and stabs at the remaining foe.

MW Cold Iron Rapier + Flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11 for Cold Iron/Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Cece follows and Rusty directs them to take a chomp, pointing at the undead and commanding, ”Alakh.”

Handle Animal (Cece) DC 10: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Rusty steps up and takes a defensive stance.

Total Defense, AC 23, Tch 18, FF 15

Cece follows close.

Rusty nods and casts a spell upon their furry companion. CeCe’s teeth grow longer and sharper.

Magic Fang

The Android and pup follow Marius into the room.

Just eyeing up this game as possible step-in.

I take it you have just started act 2 and you are playing low-tier?

Correct, thank you for popping in to take a look.

I hope things go well! Thank you for the update.

Rusty shrugs, they thought the plan was to open and check those doors. But that is past so they head into the open room.

Rusty and CeCe move up and guard the open door. They nod in agreement, ”Go ahead, I’ll cover this access point.”

Rusty quietly slips in and looks through the open doors.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Rusty steps up and pulls the door open.

I believe mage armor was offered, which is on the psychic list and wasn’t UMD’d. Heightened awareness was the other wand used, but not offered. It is also a personal spell so if it was offered the recipient would have to be able to cast it on themselves.

Rusty replies to the offer, ”My armor should be sufficient, but you could tap CeCe for some benefit to her. I say we just rush in and see what we have to deal with. Does anyone need to activate a light source?”

Rusty leans down to look at the scene.

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 (+1 Tracking)

The android draws their rapier, pats CeCe on the head and whispers, ”Ready pup?”

Switch CeCe’s animal focus back to bear (+2 Con)

Rusty certainly doesn’t know who Grandmaster Torch is.

They think out loud, ”An information broker? Interesting idea. I was hoping for something more concrete. Did you not even look over the plans?”

Rusty spends the bit of narration going on drying themself off. Wringing out pants, shirts, cloaks, the whole deal. They comment to no one in particular, ”Waterproof or resistant clothing is going to be my next purchase.”

After the other comments they add, ”Or if too late, should we try to stop the undead agents carrying out their sabotage missions first?”

Rusty also holds their breath and tries to focus, applying their faction training to undo a lock.

I just need to wedge a rock in here and leverage against it and it should snap it free…

Disable Device Faction Pin once per session: 1d20 + 4 + 1d4 ⇒ (7) + 4 + (1) = 12

…just like that!

Waiting on Brat? Or on more of us to roll? Sometimes it’s hard to tell if we need multiple successes on a skill check or not.

Rusty wordlessly leaps and dives off the cliff, hoping to help stabilize the situation below.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Rusty focuses briefly on the strength of a bull, then darts into a flanking position. Pointing their rapier at the foe between them they command Cece to attack, ”Alakh!”

Swift to use animal focus to get +2 str for Rusty and Cece. Move w/ Acro to avoid AoO, Handle Animal to command Cece, Ready to attack when Cece moves into flanking.

Acrobatics v CMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Handle Animal (Cece) DC 10: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Readied MW Cold Iron Rapier + str + Outflank v Red: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 4 = 17 for Cold Iron/Piercing + str: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Just wanna say I love your map for this scene, GM. Very clean and organized and I like the grid. Is it some type of map generating program?

Also, you have wonderful spell templates. I have never seen emanation templates that nice before, may I borrow them to use in games on this server?

Moved you onto the map Grimdog, also you double posted.

Rusty agrees with the shifter, ”I don’t know the law well or even how most people handle things, but this definitely feels wrong. CeCe, get em!”

The android’s hand falls down and brushes against their puppy’s shoulder, imbuing magical power into the canine. They point at the magenta thug and say, ”Alakh!”

Cast Magic Fang on Cece.

Handle Animal (Cece) Attack DC 10: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Rusty draws a rapier and moves up to threaten a different thug.

Rusty here. Melee Hunter with a dog companion. Could scout or track if necessary but not built for any specific group role. They can cast people’s CLW wands as needed.

As an Android they have a ton of immunities and resistances (these are at the top of my profile because otherwise they would take up the entire header) but also can’t benefit from morale bonuses.

A humanoid construct strides smoothly through the water and looks around at the team, ”I am Rusty Metals and my canine ally here is CeCe. Fear not, this water shouldn’t cause me issues, I am even capable of swimming if necessary, though hopefully we won’t have to jump off a cliff after Yargos.”

Rusty stands about 5’10” with reddish hair and yellow eyes. Their skin is an unnatural pale color and devoid of common markings, freckles or blemishes. They have several light weapons and a shiny chain shirt.

Next to them is a young dog sloshing along happily in the brackish water, waiting to see if this mission brings allies, enemies or BEST FRIENDS FOREVER.

Got the chronicle, thanks again for the game. See you all around on the boards!

Cece says 'woof'!

re worked on the Chronicles, please check if everything is all right and thank you for your patience!

Happy new year to all!

Updated Chronicles

Mine looks good, thanks again!

You need an event and code for any society game. You can (and probably should) create your own event. You will get the code that way and can then report the game under that event. I have an event for home groups and for play by post. They don’t expire either, so you can just re-use the same event for future game reportings.

Things like game day and outpost are online conventions that have an existing event code and name to use when reporting. They also come with extra support from Paizo.

It appears we should have two chronicle rewards crossed out and two gained.

Either we get ‘hero of the fey’ or ‘enemy of the fey’.

And also either get ‘exemplar of falcon’s hollow’ or ‘ failed savior of andoran’.

I don’t know what we succeeded on or failed though. You also need to put the event name, code and date on it. If you need help with that let us know, it’s what you will need or get when you report everything.

Any feedback about this first time PFS mission will be appreciated, I feel I need to get better (and not only with the maps)

Pace is super important in PbP. And not just posting rate, but also keeping the group moving in a positive direction.

I know that is also partially the group’s responsibility, as we have to keep pushing the plot along. But it’s definitely important to have clear leads into the next task or location. Some scenarios are a lot better at this than others, so that can make things harder.

I appreciate you running the scenario and you did well for the first time. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Diplomacy DC 15: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

As usual, Rusty isn’t great at talking to anyone. But the Android does thank Laurel on the way out of town for her assistance, ”I am sure this would have gone much worse without your help.”

Rusty packs up the basin. The Android thinks for a minute then questions, ”Alright, who gets the antidote potion now and who waits till we get back to the lodge to get help with the disease?”

Roll (highest wins) for the potion of remove disease? We have Ling, Navatsiyk, Nabla, Faceless Man and Cece infected.

Rusty volunteers, ”I’ll bag up the diseased basin and carry it, my unique body has so far resisted any infection.”

Spellcraft Potion 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Spellcraft Potion 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Spellcraft Ring: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Rusty speaks up quickly, ”I very strongly object to this plan. Our mission was to RECOVER the basin and return it to the society. Did none of you take notes?”

Rusty raises an eyebrow in a very surprisingly human reaction, ”Oh. Whoops, all humanoids look and act the same. But that’s still no reason to lie about the basin. I’m pretty sure it is the source of the disease, though I don’t know if we should destroy it or not. Should probably search her too, she might be holding the actual antidote.”

The Android tries to scan the basin for magical elements.

Detect Magic

Rusty seems confused, ”Why hurt the fey? I thought you all WERE the fey?”
