Thanks! im having a lot of fun with her "songs and cheers!"

well i found this racoon, not quite what i envisioned but its better then nothing! I did add a token to the map which is a much better picture

I'm glad you recognized that it was the same as the book, I wanted to see if you got that before i just gave it to you :D so yay!

When you open the case inside you find 3 objects of interest. A spirit board with a brass spirit planchette, and four iron and glass vials containing tiny, churning clouds of vapor. They sit in velvet-lined indentations to the left of the board and planchette, along with six empty indentations.

Sorry guys! i think my post got eaten!

With another thrust from Chellian the centipede guts splatter along the floor.

End of Combat

After dealing with the bugs you walk up to the sarcophagus and inspect the cache. According to the Professor's journal he already raided this cache, but didn't take everything. Pulling back the lid of the sarcophagus, you find the cache and quite a few items. There are a dozen silver arrows and 17 other arrows of different variety, some look to be of finer quality, there are 5 potion bottles that look the same and 2 potions in nicer bottles. You also find some scrolls and a think darkwood case decorated with an image of a scarab with a single eye glaring from its back.

Malakos you are able to read the scrolls and share with the group that there is a scroll of detect undead, 2 scrolls of hide from undead and a scroll of protection from evil.

Carrion Crown Recruitment

This will be my first time GM-ing an Adventure Path as Play-by-post but I’m excited and have the time, it’ll probably be slower at first and then picking up in pace as I get into the hang of things. I’m looking for people to post at least once a day. And with that said here is what I'm looking for for this adventure.

-Create a 1st level character, with full HP as standard.

-20 point buy. After racial modifiers, no stat can go below 7 or above 18.

-Two traits, with one coming from the Carrion Crown Player's Guide. I am open to retooling or reflavouring the traits if someone has a good background that suits the campaign, but doesn't fall into one of the given backgrounds.

-Most classes and archetypes allowed, no Occult classes though please and no Summoners.

Gunslinger & Firearms

The PCs are aware of firearms, knowing them when they see them.
For Gunslingers:
Period of firearms is restricted to Early Firearms.
The pistoleer archetype is not allowed, to make the guns a little more hazardous.
Gunslingers are required to create and repair their weapons, as well as craft their bullets and make their own powder.

-Core races and Dhampirs, Skinwalkers, Tieflings, Fetchlings, Hobgoblin, Ratfolk and Duskwalkers

-Average starting gold for your class.

-Any non-evil alignments. Convincing me to allow an evil character is going to be a really hard sell and it's probably not worth the effort. That said, questionably-motivated characters of good or neutral alignments are okay.

-Please provide a solid background for your character. I intend to run a fairly roleplay-heavy game and really get into the campaign's fluff, so I'm looking for fleshed out characters, with backstories and personalities. I'm also showing heavy bias for characters who fit the tone of the campaign; characters who may be motivated by an encounter with dark creatures in their past, seek forbidden knowledge, or have dark secrets that may come to light in their time in Ustalav. Fluff-related archetypes are also appreciated, and overarching character motivations or aims are always amazing. I may reward depth before we begin play with little things; additional traits, bonus gold, a couple skill points... Give me something I like and I will not let it go unrewarded.

Please read the Carrion Crown Player's Guide , not only for the traits but also the sections for your class and race, as well as any setting bits, so you know about the setting going in.
Rules/Expectations/Etc.:

-I'd like to get a rate of at least one post a day going. Weekends might be more lax if the chosen players can't do weekends nearly as reliably, but regular weekday posting is a must to move at a decent rate through the campaign. Being able to post multiple times a day is also good. Please leave your time zone in the thread as well, for logistical reasons. Mine is EST (GMT -5).

-As stated above, this game will lean more on the roleplay side of things. There's no sense in playing a horror campaign as a dungeon crawl with mood music. I'd prefer players willing to get into things, interacting with the townsfolk and letting their characters get caught up in the story rather than seeking the next thing to stab. Write out posts with some detail and personality to them, more than just a line of dialogue or "He stabs the dude." Enjoy the atmosphere a little.

-Please spoiler your background, crunch, and such things when posting in the thread, just so it doesn't stretch the page out and leave people with a lot to scroll through.

-I'm open to considering house ruling certain things, and will likely do so myself in certain areas. If there's a particular change you'd like made to the rules as written, feel free to ask.

The final party will probably be 5 players. Please pay attention to what others are posting as well, if there are 17 wizards and 1 barbarian, the odds of that barbarian being picked are heck of a lot higher. But also post what you want to play. If you put in a character only to fill a gap but aren’t totally committed to that character it’ll show. I want people to enjoy playing their characters.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll get to them as soon as I can. Recruitment will probably last for a week if not two weeks depending on how many applicants we receive.

I am excited for this new adventure and I look forward to seeing what characters you guys come up with!

"BAAAASWWAAAAK!!!!"

I love when we get to charge it so exciting!

Bite Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Seeing the perfect opportunity rise in front of her Tika and Manuk charge over to the Red Dragon in hopes of ending him.

"CHAAAAARRRGE MANUK!!!!! CHARGE!!!!"

Swift action Challenge the red dragon

Charging Power Attack - Fatigue + Prayer + Bless: 1d20 + 16 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 16 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 25
Damage - Fatigue + Prayer + Challenge: 3d6 + 39 - 6 + 3 + 15 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) + 39 - 6 + 3 + 15 = 57

Manuk is still bawking his charge song which sounds like this Bwak song.

"Bawk Bwak Bwak Bwak Bwak bwaak Bwaak bbabawwwk"

Manuk will bite Tygora

Bite Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Tika will point her lance towards Tygora and try and hit with all she's got! "You'll learn! Us Pathfinders are a force to be reckoned with!" And with that Tika will stab Tygora.

Full attack vs Tygora

Attack - Power Attack + Rage + Challenge + Prayer + Bless: 1d20 + 14 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 14 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 25
Damage + Power Attack + Rage + Prayer: 1d6 + 7 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 6 + 1 = 17

Second Attack - Power Attack + Rage + Challenge + Prayer + Bless: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 32 POENTENTIAL CRIT!!!
To Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 32 WHAT!? 2 nat 20's!! YES!

Damage + Power Attack + Rage + Prayer: 3d6 + 39 + 9 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 3) + 39 + 9 + 15 + 1 = 73

And with that Tika's rage seems to calm and she is so tired all of a sudden.

Tika is fatigued when he last round of rage ends

I will delay until after Anastasia and Hlifkom move out of the way so that I can charge Tygora.

"Hlifkom! Anastasia!! get out of the way!! Manuk, CHARGE!!" free action

Tika is all taken in by the beauty and sparkling splendor of the city hall, she leans forward in her chair listening to the city councilman and her companions. "I know the feeling of not being welcome in your own home, it's why I became a pathfinder and I will also help you and your people regain control of your beautiful city! Where does Tygora live and keep her prisoners?" At this point Tika is standing on her chair so that the council man can see her and her excitement of the possibility to use her lance.

"Skwwaaaaaak bwaaakkk!"

Jumping down off the back of a large Axebeak, a small Wayang with ashen grey skin and hair begins talking excitedly. "Hi! I'm Tika and this is my Manuk he looks super scary but is really nice! We just got back from the Green Market in Varisa and we helped to put the ghost of a Shoanti Shaman to rest.

Tika tells Manuk to stay and she joins Cosmo at the table.

Thanks for GM 'ing for us! I really enjoyed* my first pbp and can't wait to do another one! And it was great getting to know everyone's characters!! :)

Tika looks around in wonder at this new fantastical place, it reminds her in some way of the stories she heard back home of the place Wayangs came from before they lived in Tian-Xia.

Seeing a threat she pat Manuk on the head and level her lance, begin her rage and charge.

"A target to charge, let's get 'em Manuk!"

Charging Lance + Rage + Haste: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 22
damage + rage: 3d6 + 39 + 9 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) + 39 + 9 = 55

Seeing Tika joining the rest of her companions in digging, he starts to claw at the ground.

"Baaaaaswwaakkkk'

Tika will grab a shovel and start to dig as well. "I've never had to go digging during an adventure! Manuk come help!" She signals toward Manuk to have him come and help out.

Tika, after being woken up by Manuk's usual antics, dons her armor and lance and pulls out a whet bone for Manuk's beak.

"Gooood Morning everyone!! lets get ready and save the Green Market from the scary ghost guy!

Tika is very chipper in the morning.

Manuk, rising at sunrise will ruffle his feathers and preen himself until letting out a loud, bone-rattling cry.

"Caaaaaaawwwwkkkkkkkk a dooooodlle doooo!!!!!!!!!"

And then runs over and drag tika and her bedroll around till she wakes up.

Tika intorcudes herself and stands by Zahra whiel she explains what is happening at Miss Zeeva's market.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Tika aids Zahra's diplomacy

"Please tell us what you know that way we can go back to the Green Market and save Miss Zeeva from the scary trees and bushes!"

Tika doesn't want to leave Manuk or her trusty lance, but she jumps off Manuk's back and looks up at him "Stay here and protect Pumpkin and the doggy. I will be back soon, we are going to talk to the Shaman!"

Tika pats Manuk's beak and follows her companions into the Skaldwood.

Character Name: Tikaketsu "Tika"
Player: Sarah
PFS: 68127-9
Faction: Dark Archive
Level: 7
Day Job: Chicken Farmer(Handle Animal Vanity): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

"Just be sure to keep your tigers outta my Chickens or Manuk'll getcha!"

The feat Spirited Charge does most of the work.

Strength +6 damage, Power Attack +6, Magic Weapon +1, is a base of +13 damage.

Rage adds +3 damage and Challenge adds +5 and in this instance prayer is adding +1 damage.

6 + 6 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 1 = +22 damage.

Spirited Charge causes a mounted lance attack to do x3 damage, now its +66 damage!

This is Vorel(Cody), my wife is asleep but figured I could jump on and break down the math for ya. That way you wouldn't have to wait till tomorrow during her lunch or potentially later since we have our Iron Gods game night tomorrow night.

Manuk will bow his head in an apologetic way towards Zahra and Pumpkin.

”squwaaaak”

Tika places her lance in its holder and looks at Miss Zahra and Pumpkin.

Miss Zahra I am so sorry for hurting Pumpkin, I don’t know why I wanted to help the mean Aspis guy. Do you forgive me and Manuk?

Manuk does his best to obey Tika and uses his beak to grab Pumpkin by the scruff of his neck and drag him back.

CMB to drag + prayer: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27

Miss chance, 5 is Pumpkin: 1d5 ⇒ 3

And he missed

With Tika's mind still clouded she commands Manuk to drag Pumpkin off of the spell caster.

Handle Animal to push Manuk: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27

Tika is trying to push Manuk to perform the drag maneuver on Pumpkin from the APG.

Now my Ronin ability, Self-reliant, can take affect. And I will use the GM's roll from earlier as my will saving throw so i am no longer under the effects of suggestion.

Sorry i should have been more clear i get my save at the end of my NEXT turn. I didnt clarify cuz it wasnt going to be in effect yet. i should have been more clear.

but can i use that save so you dont have to roll again?

Tika spurs Manuk into action. Originally planning to attack the red thug her mind now seems clouded and she feels the necessity to protect the spellcaster from Pumpkin.

lance attack/non-lethal + prayer + high ground: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

"Bad kitty"

edit*

Miss chance 1 through 5 is a miss, 6 is a hit: 1d6 ⇒ 3

with mirror image up that should help. and Tika has a cavalier ability that gives her a new save vs enchantment effects

Tika, watching the confrontation, surprised the bad guys don't see her and Manuk will see them draw theirs weapon. Since she can't charge, which is her favorite thing to do ever, Tika will draw out her longbow and loose an arrow at red bad guy.

Ranged attack vs bad guy - cover: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 4 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Don't even try to hurt my friends!" Patting Manuk who is ruffling his feathers, "Don't worry, Manuk, we'll get them!"

After stepping outside Tika mounts Manuk and leans down toward Vorel, ”I think we should patrol the perimeter, if the Aspis are here and making things hard for Miss Zeeva, they might be watching her now.”

Tika and Manuk start to walk about looking for anything or anyone that looks suspicious.

Sorry guys this is my first pbp and im still getting the hang of it all.

Earlier: Tika and Manuk were following the group and started to fall behind after Manuk found a rather declicious smelling fish stall and took them on an adventure to find it. Catching up with the group Tika answers Zahra’s questions about her past with the Society “I started with the society when I was tasked with find a mystical druid stone, called a Lorestone, from a bad guy that killed one of our druid friends and stole it. I like to run into things, especially bad guys with my lance, most of the time they never get back up after I've hit them with my lance!”

Later at the market Tika will continue riding Manuk around in the market place, its cramped but oddly most of the civilians seem to make way for them.

Manuk and I would love to join you at picnic! Sounds fun!”

lets eat and then find miss zeeva…and get rid of some Aspis

Manuk barrels of the ship, his large talons leaving large gouges in the floorboards, "BAAAWWWWWK!"

Fish . . . I smeeeeellll FISH!

Earlier - Thanking Zahra and the captain, Tika begins her introduction, "I'm Tikaketsu of Goku but I just go by Tika. You've already met Manuk and he has quite the reputation, but don't worry he is gentle!"

Tika will skip happily down the ship to find Manuk and release him from his cage.

Later during the briefing - Tika will rush up to the deck of the ship, watching the skyline unfold, "I've never been to Korvosa, it seems so plain compared to some of the cities I've been too!"

Kn: Local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"I don't know anything about this place!"

The loud thumping continues with a few more bangs until a Large gray beak with serrated teeth bursts through the floorboards of the ship, sending splinters flying through the galley. With a large colorful bird head, with a 2-foot long beak emerges and looks around for its master, "SQUUAAAAWWWWKK!"

Running into the room, a small strong looking little person, with ashen gray skin and hair, is yelling about something, nearing belligerence. "Blasted crew and their dumb rules. Bunch of scaredy-cats afraid of my little Manuk!" She'll stomp over to the table joining the surly looking Tiefling sitting down to eat. "Can you believe it? Locked up just below us!"

A loud thump coming from the floor follows the small Wayang's tirade.
