Samna Tranth's page

Thanks for running. Don't worry about the pacing; it was fine! I liked this scenario, and it explains some things in the Triumph of the Tusk Player's Guide!

"Another Crucible mark?" Samna raises an eyebrow. "Strange times we are living in. Those orc gods better watch their backs. Uirch was a formidable fighter, and everything I've heard about Mahja suggests she could take down a demigod with one hand tied."

The young woman thoroughly enjoys the festivities. She'll have to visit Freedom Town again!

Samna works an eldritch pattern with her blade, then throws it at the orc.

↺ Ring Bell (Will DC 22) or enfeebled 1 if Uirich Strikes.

I ring the bell if Uirich attacks anyone.

Samna gestures at Manny with her free hand and a cooling mist of energy springs up around him, healing him and stopping the burning. She tosses her starknife at the orc once more!

↺ Ring Bell (Will DC 22) or enfeebled 1 if Uirich Strikes.

Sorry, totally missed the divine immolation!

Reflex: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32

Samna looks for the orc's weaknesses and attacks him twice.

"Go meet your gods, Uirich!"

Reflex: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

Samna runs up into the hallway, putting her back to the wall. She makes an eldritch sign in Ulrich's direction, then tosses her starknife his way.

Stride, Glimpse Vulnerability, Strike

starknife vs OG: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23 for piercing: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8 and weakness 2.

"Not the way I'd choose to go, but if he wants a blaze of glory, then we can give it to him," Samna assures the orcs.

Samna calls on the vitality of nature to heal herself. While Dreadfang is receiving his healing, she refocuses her energies.

healing: 4d8 ⇒ (6, 8, 5, 7) = 26

Cast soothing mists.

With the pig down, Samna focuses on the orc, her hunted prey.

Samna takes a step back and follows Isaku's advice, focusing two attacks on the dragon.

Step, Strike, Strike

starknife vs OG: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 for piercing: 2d4 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 + 4 = 12 and deadly?: 1d6 ⇒ 4

If the first attack is a miss, move the +4 damage to the second, please.

Samna tries to keep her feet.
Reflex: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

And she easily slides to avoid the brunt of the attack, though she's still quite injured.

She ignores the pig, continuing to attack the orc who directs it.

I can throw without penalty in the 2nd range increment because of Hunt Prey.

Samna closes a bit with the group of enemies, though she stops at a healthy distance away. She focuses on the orc leader, using her knowledge of orcs to look for a weakness, then throws her starknife.

Stride, Hunt Prey (Monster Hunter), Strike

Recall Knowledge (Society): 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 2 = 23

Samna concentrates on her starknife for a moment, then prepares for more engagement from the outside.

Cast gravity weapon

Samna continues to attack the cultist.

Unless the cultist is dead, then switch to pig.

↺ Ring Bell (DC 22)
--Distracting Cacophony The trigger is a spell. You create a musical crash of sonic energy that assails the target and breaks its concentration. The target must succeed at a Fortitude save against your class DC or become stupefied 1 until the end of your next turn (stupefied 2 on a critical failure). The target doesn't have to attempt a flat check to avoid losing the triggering spell, but the discordant ring does lower the spell attack roll or spell DC of the triggering spell from stupefied.
--Disrupting Harmony The trigger is a Strike. You create a strangely discordant harmony that sinks into your foe's mind and throws its movements off. The target must succeed at a Will save against your class DC or become your choice of enfeebled 1 or clumsy 1 until the end of your next turn (enfeebled 2 or clumsy 2 on a critical failure).

Samna hunts prey on the cultist, glimpses its vulnerabilities, and attacks.

Don't forget about Ring Bell on red! I'd make him enfeebled.

Samna holds her position. She looks for red's weaknesses and attacks twice. Her starknife flies back to her hand each time.

Samna draws her starknife and focuses her attention on the red boar, looking for weaknesses in its aura. Her bell hands from her wrist, ready to ring.

Samna will Ring Bell if red attacks

"Well spotted, everyone," Samna compliments. "It's clear that someone really is trying to interfere with the Cruicible, likely those cultists. Let's be on our guard."

Reflex: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23

Religion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

"I'm unfamiliar with this magic--it looks quite unusual."

Samna has a focus spell that heals 4d8. She can use that on someone, then refocus as wounds are being treated.

Initiative (Perception): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

The flames roll across Samna before she gets a chance to react.

Reflex: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

But she manages to dodge them completely. She blows a strange of singed hair out of her face. "The dangers of being in a cult."

"Desna, shine your beams on this unholy place!"

"Look, some of those trees aren't even swaying in the wind. An obvious illusion!"

Nature: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

"Look for blue flowers--the traps are marked!"

Looks like we made it, but just in case:

Nature: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

"Looks like the brush is less flammable this way." Samna points.

Samna tries to find the best trail through the forest.

With the second site investigated, Samna concentrates on the third.

Nature: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

"No, I don't recognize these carvings."

"Deodons. You might hear some oldtimers calling them 'dire boars.' You'll notice that they are significantly larger than your typical domestic boar." Samna explains.

"Ah, my specialty," Samna looks over the site, and the tracks, with satisfaction. "Boar tracks, though very large. Odd for them to be circling this way. Perhaps they were trained, or magically controlled."

She almost over looks the trail, but a lucky break allows her to lead the group to a nearby clearing.

"Daeodons, and dead at least a week. What is this strange symbol scarred on them?"

Nature: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Samna rubs a gloves hand on the soot of the tent remains, then tests the consistency. "Alchemical accelerants, but also divine fire of some sort. Odd. Too targeted to be the work of sulfur zombies. Perhaps some more intelligent burning undead."

She wanders through the remains of the camp, attempting to recreate the scene in her mind, and ends up next to an intact tarp. "Ah, what's this?" She lifts back the flap and finds some intact materials.

Perception spoiler: four moderate healing potions and three spellstrike arrows (type III)

"We'll be lucky if it's just hostile animals," Samna reflects. "Most of them aren't known for making strange religious symbols."

She agrees with the order proposed by Emmanuel.

"Be on your guard, folks," Samna cautions as the make their way to the house. "Not very sporting, but this is one of the few situations where gods directly intervene in the universe. We could have divine emissaries trying to muck around with our late orc."

Provisions: 2 Moderate Healing Potions

"Angry beasts are better than rampaging undead, though still dangerous, obviously."

Samna swings herself into one of the open seats, "Well: It seems we have come to the right place. You worry about Mahja's body, we'll scout the area."

"Just a few questions: Any word on what to expect out there? What kind of rumors have you heard? Also, how long do these Crucible challenges typically last? You make it sound as if you have been here in Freedom Town longer than expected."

Great to have a few teammates who can patch people up," a young aiuvarin human woman comments. "Samna Tranth. I'm somewhat of an explorer and problem solver."

Oh, good reminder. I have 3 glyphs to give away!

"Not your average day at the market," Samna checks herself for wounds and resolves to get a good night's sleep tonight. "A bit more dangerous than rack sale day at Material Changes."

Filled out. Thanks for running!

Samna conjures a cloud of healing rain on Olov, releasing a small burst of steam as it hits the oracle's fiery aura.

She shouts at the creature, "We've destroyed your friends, and you are next!"

"I have a favorite tea shop, we can stop by on the way to the fetchling's shop," Samna suggests.

At the meeting...

"Thank you for agreeing to see us," she greets the witch. "Before we get to business: A gift, from us to you!"

She hands over the tea. "One of my favorites."

Samna sheathes her weapon and wipes some of the blood off herself with the back of her hand.

"Yes, a trade seems to be in order. I'm sure our friend Scratch could help with your study in exchange."

Samna continues to plink away at the sturdy creature.
