Sahba Mandyra's page

Looks like you're full up, but please send me a PM if a space becomes available.

I've never played this, but have GM'd four tables of it.

I am trying to post as a different character to see if it pops up but this is rediculous. This is the only campaign not popping up at all. Is it possible to be banned from a thread

Although it *is* possible, only a couple of people have privileges to do so, and to my knowledge they have never used that power.

As others have suggested, the most likely answer is that you've 'silenced' this thread accidentally by clicking the '∅' character in the forum list. It might be worth taking a look at this thread from the forum list view to double check.

I can brainstorm other possibilities, but they are increasingly unlikely and mostly involve forum bugs. If you continue to have trouble, the best place to go for help may be the "Website Feedback" forum.

"Why, everything! If there are any other GMs or players you think I should meet, please introduce me! ..."

"There are more than a few here who fancy themselves "players", I suspect (and mostly, they should be avoided), but I do not know of this person called 'Gee Ems'."

Welcome to all the new faces!

"You don't have enough CON!"

"I thought as Pathfinders we are supposed to Cooperate. That means not conning each other. If someone has 'much con', maybe they should seek a different society..."

So, do we have another "free the slaves" adventure ahead?

And to be compelete: Liberty's Edge needs to free the slaves

This wasn't crossed off, so we didn't miss this one, I believe.

(Of course, Sahba would permit no other outcome than freedom for the illegally obtained slaves. One of the reasons she burned evidence of their imprisonment.)

Thanks, Master Bitterleaf.

Sahba nods her assent at her companions' words. Diplomacy hasn't been her strong suit today, so she's content to keep her mouth shut and tries to stay in the background unnoticed.

After the corruption of slavery, only fire could cleanse the memories, horrors, and spirits that would have imbued the very core of the ship itself. Perhaps now many of those that lost their lives in captivity on that ship can rest a bit easier. Sahba certainly feels better. It wasn't the slaver she *really* wanted to burn, but it was *a* slaver, and that will be sufficient for now. The time will come for the other.

Old memories clearly clouding her features, Sahba looks away from the flames. "Off to Lady Darchana's, then?"

Sahba hurries the slaves to the waiting dinghy. She pours her flasks of oil along the lower and upper decks, then sets them alight with a flame splash (as acid splash, but with fire) as they row back to the docks.

She smiles as she watches the slavers' ship burn.

She concurs with Rila that a trip to the Venture Captain is in order. After that (or before, should the part insist), Sahba journeys back to the noble who first hired the Pathfinders to report on what they found.

Sahba gets the manacles unlocked, and hurries them to the waiting dinghy.

She sends a party member to go check the captain's quarters for more evidence (or treasure).

Having had some time to catch her breath, Sabha breaths in the elements around her and shoots a stream of fire at the woman.

Elemental Ray, RT, -melee, -cover: 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 5
fire dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
5 of 7

In her haste to gather her thoughts she almost certainly misses.

Put Sahba on delay. With the captain surrounded, she'll have a hard time hitting a target, and I don't have time to count her times used right now.

@Sabha, unless I missed something on grease, it's only 1 object you can target (or an area on the floor)

Yep, you're correct. I noticed it too late to edit it.

Your second post only mentioned the one anyway (which is what was in my head), and it also wasn't until later that I went back and re-read the first post that mentioned two.

"She tried to attack Jaxal. I like Jaxal."

"Besides, as she's confirmed this is her ship, she was likely to be immolated anyway."

Sahba casts grease on the kukris the woman is holding.
DC 15 Ref or drop them.

She take a moment to put her wand back in her belt.
(move action)

She hadn't attacked anyone yet, or done anything hostile ... why'd you blast her?

"Patience, Teric!"

Stifling odd feelings of deja vu, Sahba calls to the woman, "You there! Are you going to prevent us from freeing these illegally detained slaves?"

Not waiting for a response, she ensures the proper wand is in her hand, and uses it to apply some healing to Y'serid.
5' step. Y'serid gains fast healing 1 for 10 rounds.

That perception check isn't attainable for Sahba. Absent a pretty mighty circumstance bonus for being a pyro, anyway....

Sahba lets loose a ray of flame at the trollhound, then circles around to try an get a better angle, pulling her wand of infernal healing as she does so.
Elemental ray (fire), r touch, -melee, -cover: 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 15
fire: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 4 of 7 used

Sahba is less concerned about burning down the ship than her companion. She was planning to do it anyway, once the slaves were freed.
Elemental ray (fire), r touch, -melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 4 = 13 vs trollhound
fire!: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Knowledge(arcana): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Sahba looks to Jaxal briefly, but continues without missing a beat. "You heard him! Fire solves everything."

She obligingly shoots fire at the dog thing.
elemental ray, ranged touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
fire: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Sahba pauses briefly to make sure everyone's okay, then hurries down the steps.

True, no Precise Shot (yet).

The half-orc leader distracted and well-cared for by her friends, Sahba sneaks down the stairs to see what she can see.

Sahba slices at the gnoll that dared attack her.
Dagger (AoO): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6

She takes another step back, off of the grating, to put some distance between herself and the gnoll before loosing a line of flame at the half-orc leader.
Is there a lever nearby that will open it? Especially within a 5' step? If so, move there.

Elemental Ray(ranged touch): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
fire: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Not happy at being in such close quarters, steps around the side of the (red) gnoll hoping to be able to back away further next round.

She casts grease on the gnoll's weapon.
Concentration(cast defensively): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Reflex DC 15 save or he drops his weapon.

She draws a dagger in order to be armed in such close quarters.

Sahba climbs second.

If they question her about it, she says she's the pilot's second apprentice. Being only 16 years old, and petite, she's little enough to look the part.
bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17

"That's the one. You can see the sloppy paint job from here, although it's difficult to make out much else in this poor light."

"Shall we bring some illumination to things, or shall we board first?"

"We also have this authorization for a boat and a pilot," she adds, waving the document.

Sahba points to Jaxal. No one would believe a teenage girl is a representative of the law, but perhaps she can color things to her advantage.

"This man is a credentialed investigator. He has evidence that the man working here earlier is involved in a conspiracy to smuggle illegal slaves with the rogue ship "At Sea", which may be going by the name "Kat Season"... We're here to take the villains in to custody."
Bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Sahba pauses to take a breath.

"Can you tell us whether that ship is docked? Otherwise, point us to the pilot transport, please."

Profession(sailor), untrained: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11

"How does one confirm a ship's identity? If it is passing under different names, it is not as simple as the name being painted on the side."

Sahba smiles bitterly and lets some flames dance up her arms.

And wouldn't it be a shame if the ship were 'accidentally' burned in the process of recovering its owed taxes, she muses.

"Lady Darchana, can you provide us a write of authorization to board the ship and detain its crew? The harbor master seems a bit too preoccupied with his paperwork."

"Our investigation led us to Solicitor Salbus, who in turn sent us to Mahdi Mahjub of Mahdi's Chattel (a dispicable euphamism for slavery, if there ever was one.)."

"With some persuasion, Mahdi explained that the slave in question, Atlag by name, came to him through an infrequent supplier, a ship captain named Waheeda Wardak. Wardak captains the At Sea, a ship yellow sails like those used by the Okeno pirates the last several times it was in Absalom. Mahdi also confided that he expects another shipment from Wardak soon, and the At Sea should be docking tonight if it hasn’t already arrived."

"We have reason to believe the At Sea carries illegally enslaved Pathfinders, however the harbor master impeded our investigation. Perhaps a writ from you would grease the wheels of bureaucracy."

"Of course, a full raid on the ship, the imprisonment of Mahdi and Wardak for knowingly trafficking in illegal slaves, and the freeing of those captured would be an even greater boon, should you have access to the resources to put such events in motion."

Sahba is actually disinclined to leave the docks and return if the harbor master is reluctant to give over. She is especially surprised he didn't rise to the offer of payment. One other avenue would be to a) gather the information from other sailors despite the harbor master, or b) charm/sleep/knock unconscious/otherwise trick the harbor master, and look through his records while he's out.

The only thing getting her to return is me taking this as a GM's hint that any further action there would be fruitless.

Bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Sahba restrains herself. This man may abet slavery, but he does not enforce it on others (to her knowledge).

"The wares are time-sensitive, good master, and we wish to be out of your way as quickly as we can."

Diplomacy, aid another: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Wow. She's useless this adventure.

Let's try another roll, just for a dice check.
Diplomacy, aid another: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Yep. Thoroughly useless.

"It's not the harbor master in danger of being burned, my friend. But yes, let's see him."

Time to burn a ship!?

"Ahoy!"

"That's what one says on a ship, right?"

Sahba looks to her companions. "Shall we go bother the harbor master?"

@Sabha;He might not be all the trustworthy...

Well, duh. Hence my mocking him by giving him even more children.

Feel free to do something if you still want to, just moving towards the harbor to keep things going

Yep, still doing the quick shopping I mentioned before heading off to meet the party at the docks.

"I'm sure your eight children would prefer you set a better example and choose a more honorable profession." It was only four a few minutes ago.

With that, Sahba sets fire to the pile of papers and ledgers she's collected on the desk, and storms out.

When her companions join her outside, Sahba says, "I'd like to be there early to greet the ship. Shall we meet there in an hour?"

Sahba smiles sourly at Y'serid. "Sometimes these scum only understand direct means. He and his kind are a cancer that needs to be excised."

She gathers the papers and ledgers into a pile in the center of Mahdi's desk. "It seems we have our next location, Sahba says to the party.

Turning to Mahdi, she threatens, "Should you tell anyone we are coming, we will return for you personally. And your office. And your partners. And all you hold dear. Be content we are only inconveniencing your business rather than reciprocating the pain you inflict on others."

She seems to be taking this slavery issue very personally.

As the others talk, Sahba randomly picks up papers from Madhi's desk and burns them, one by one.
acid fire splash, 0-level

Intimidate (aid another): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

"Oh, I am sure Mahdi has that amount around somewhere," Sahba mutters.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Have I rolled above a '5' this entire adventure? My diplomancy rolls have been *awfu*!

Maybe Teric could try?

"Oh, don't mind us. I'm more than happy to watch a slaver beaten to a bloody pulp. Frankly, we had similar intentions. Would you mind terribly if we torched the shop? After you're finished, of course."

As if to emphasize her words, Sahba lounges against a table in a non-threatening posture.

"Well, he's not here, so let's get going."

Sahba, winking to her companions steps over to the front door, and closes it loudly. She then softly moves back to the inner room door, where her companions are preparing to enter.

Bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

"They left the door open, too." Sahba pushes it open slightly, and peers in.

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17
You hear that? Me neither.

Sahba waits for the rest of her party to arrive.

Clearly it was Sahba's underlying feelings of slavery that made her a bit too uptight for her diplomancy rolls....

Thanks for picking up the slack, Teric.
