Scarlet Pimpernel's page

Thank you GM Tiger for taking us through that. I hope Mr Chompers is as effective in future adventures.

{Hah! Nailed him! Not looking so 'quick' anymore, is he?}
[No. He's definitely in the 'dead' column now, Mr Chompers]
{Heh, heh, heh}
[More unfriendies incoming]
{No rest for the weary, eh?}

"<Zap! Thock! Thock!>"

[I suppose we can add them to the 'dead' column too]
{How rude! They didn't leave any for me!}
[Maybe we should get you a bow, Mr Chompers]
{Nah! Not hands-on enough for me}
[Don't you mean 'tendrils'-on?]
{Har, har! Good one, Scarlet}

As Scarlet casts more spells ("बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्" and "बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्"), Mr Chompers goes out to greet one of the creatures.

Scarlet Action 1: Cast a Spell: Boost Eidolon vs Chompers

Scarlet Action 3 (◆): Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18

[spoiler=Life Block (↺)]Note that Protect Companion gives Scarlet the following reaction:

{This one is too quick for me to catch}
[You'll need to wait for it to come to us then]
{Good idea. I'll get ready to lash out if it does}
[It's pretty good at dodging things, so be careful Mr Chompers]
{Just one good smash and it's light out}

Scarlet prepares Mr Chompers for action ("बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्" & "बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्") while he prepares to lash out if the creature comes anywhere near him.

Action 1 & 2 (◆): Act Together

- Chompers Action 1 & 2 (◆◆): Ready - Trigger (↺): Speedy enters the 10ft range of Mr Chompers
- Scarlet Action 1: Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18

Scarlet Action 3 (◆): Cast a Spell: Boost Eidolon vs Chompers

{That one is pretty quick}
[I can barely keep my eyes on him]
{Urk! I'm not feeling so well. I think he poisoned me}
[Watch out for the other one!]
{Grunt! He's better with a sword than with a dart}
[Not any more. The lady gnome took care of him]
{Good! One less for me to deal with}

Chompers Fortitude Save vs DC 18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

{Actually, I don't feel that bad. Pretty weak poison I guess}
[You're still a little hurt there, Mr Chompers]
{Bah! Nothing that I can't handle}
[I better patch you up a little first just to make sure]

While Mr Chompers retreats to protect Scarlet, she casts some spells ("ଉଦ୍ଭିଦକୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କର" and "बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्")

Action 1 & 2 (◆): Act Together
- Scarlet Action 1 & 2: Cast a Spell: Heal (2-action) vs Mr Chompers

Scarlet Action 3 (◆): Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18

[Here come some more, Mr Chompers]
{Yay! That last bunch was unsatisfying}
[Duck!]
{Where?}

<Woosh!>

[There!]
{Oh that. Pftt! I'll show them how it's done.}

Scarlet casts spells ("बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्" and "बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्") as Mr Chompers closes with the dart thrower before lashing out with a tendril.

Action 1 (◆): Act Together
Scarlet Action 1: Cast a Spell: Boost Eidolon vs Chompers

Scarlet Action 3 (◆): Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18

Mr Chompers barely ducks under the swinging maul.

{Loser! Looks like they fell right into our trap, Scarlet}
[Do be careful, Mr Chompers]

Scarlet casts spells ("बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्" and "बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्") as Mr Chompers takes a step away from the creature before lashing out with a tendril.

Scarlet Action 3 (◆): Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18

{I felt funny again. I guess it was one of those mushroom ring critters after all}
[He's all squished now]
{Teach it to mess with us}
[Uh oh! More are on the way]
{Niiice! Looks like class is still in session then}
[Let's wait for them to get closer, Mr Chompers]
{And then we lower the boom}

Action (◇): Delay until the end of Blue's turn.

{I didn't think this guy would be much of a challenge}
[Wait! There's another one over there]
{Where? Where?}
[There! next to the tree it was hiding behind]
{It looks a bit familiar}
[Like the thing that popped out of the mushroom ring]
{Mmm. Mushrooms}
[Be careful. Even small things can hit hard, Mr Chompers]
{Not as hard as me}

Can we tell if it's another of the creatures with the Unluck Aura? It's the same token image as before, but that doesn't always mean anything.

And once again the dynamic duo go into action. Scarlet casts a spell ("बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्") while Mr Chompers rolls up to the newcomer and tries to whack the stuffing out of it.

Action 1 (◆): Act Together
Scarlet Action 1: Cast a Spell: Boost Eidolon vs Chompers

{Yuck! What is this stuff?}
[I think the ugly fellow cast a spell]
{It's pretty slippery, whatever it is}

Mr Chompers slides around a little...

Chompers Reflex Save vs DC 18: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

...but manages to stay on his tendrils.

{Nice try bub, but it didn't work. Now it's my turn}

Like a finely greased machine, Scarlet and Mr Chompers go into action. She casts a spell ("बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्") while Mr Chompers steps out of the grease field and lashes out at the ugly creature that cast the spell.

Action 1 (◆): Act Together
Scarlet Action 1: Cast a Spell: Boost Eidolon vs Chompers

Chompers Tendril Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13 bludgeoning damage

Not sure what we're looking at on the map. I see a blue stream to the south that I expect is difficult Water, but what is the light-brown stuff with yellow streaks between us and the creatures? Is that dirty brown difficult Water or is it regular terrain?

[Looks like another bad guy, Mr Chompers]
{Yeah. Ugly feller isn't he?}
[Not everyone can be beautiful like you, Mr Chompers]
{Hah! You can say that again}
[I think we should wait to see what they do]
{Really?}
[Yes. Maybe they'll just leave us alone]
{Ugh! Doubt it. They don't look that smart}

Action (◇): Delay until the end of Red's turn.

Thanks for the Hero Point. One of these days, I might actually get around to using one.

[What's that up ahead, Mr Chompers?]
{Looks kinda like a fox}
[Is it on fire? Shouldn't we help put it out?]
{Doesn't seem particularly bothered by it}
[No. And it's not being very friendly]
{Yeah, and it's in our way. I'll go see if I can get it to scram}
[Just be careful, Mr Chompers. You're not fireproof you know]
{Hah! In a second it'll wish it was smashproof}

While Scarlet casts her usual spells ("बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्" and "बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्"), Mr Chompers charges the flaming fox and tears into it.

Action 1 (◆): Act Together
Scarlet Action 1: Cast a Spell: Boost Eidolon vs Chompers

Scarlet Action 3 (◆): Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18

{So much for the crossing guard. Where's my snack?}
[I think Mister Tandang froze it with a snowball]
{Hey, I'm not picky}

"<Crunch! Nom, nom, nom!>"

{Not too bad. Could've used a little salt}

When they run into the animals and their snake leader, Scarlet steps forward. "We don't want to fight you Mister Snake. How about we dance a little instead?"

{Speak for yourself. They look rather scrumptious to me}
[Mr Chompers! We do not eat our friends]
{Hah! Let's see how long they stay that way}

Scarlet then does a little freeform dancing to entertain the animals and hopefully convince them not to attack the Pathfinders.

Scarlet Performance vs DC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

After taking a bow, she turns back to the snaky leader. "See Mister Snake? We have nothing against you. We can even be friends if you'd like. Whatever the Thorned Monarch told you about us was wrong."

Scarlet Deception vs DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

{I don't think the mud person wants to let us pass}
[I'd like to see them try to stop us]
{The little frog thing looks cute, if it wasn't for its nasty sharp teeth}
[Should make for a tasty post-fight snack, if it's still around after I take out the crossing guard]

While Scarlet casts her usual spells ("बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्" and "बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्"), Mr Chompers starts whaling away at the shambling mud creature.

Action 1 (◆): Act Together
Scarlet Action 1: Cast a Spell: Boost Eidolon vs Chompers

Scarlet Action 3 (◆): Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18

Scarlet Pimpernel - AC 13, 17/20; Mr Chompers AC 17

Scarlet's reaction from her Protect Companion reduced the damage she took by 5 hp, She should now be at full 20/20 hp.

{Oh dear! Mr Chompers, those people are going to get hurt}
[Yeah, I see it. They should look where they're going]
{We need to do something}
[I agree. We should definitely avoid that area]
{No. I mean we need to warn them}
[Huh. Whatever. Knock yourself out]

Scarlet jumps up and down and waves frantically to get the other pathfinders' attention. "Woo hoo over there. Don't go in there. It's full of sharp nasty plants. You'll get hurt."

Scarlet Diplomacy vs DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

{I hope that works}
[Meh. No skin off our noses either way]

Scarlet is more CG and Mr Chompers is more CE, so they average out to CN.

As the tendril wars escalate, Mr Chompers finds himself being slowly dismembered by the creeper.

[This one's tougher than he looks]
{It isn't very friendly}
[Argh! That hurt]
{Nooo!}

Scarlet feels the blow through her telepathic connection to Mr Chompers and automatically reacts by syphoning the damage into herself.

Reaction (↺): Life Block - Scarlet reduces Mr Chompers damage by 10hp but loses 5hp in the process. It's all the same HP pool, so it's a net -5hp on the damage.

Scarlet/Mr Chompers now at 9/20hp, but can't use Protect Companion again for the rest of the encounter.

[I hate to admit it, but I'm not sure I can take it]
{I'm certain the others will help us}
[Maybe, but if things turn ugly, make a run for it]

Fortunately the others do help and the creeper goes down under a volley of arrows and snowballs.

[That was closer than I like]
{I told you they'd help}

Scarlet stands still as Tandang ministers to her. "Thank you Mister Tandang. I feel a lot better."

[Me too. Ready for action again]

With the 7+6=13hp of healing, Scarlet/Mr Chompers are back to full health: 20/20hp

Scarlet watches as Tieri takes aim at the already dead shambler. "Excuse me mister Tooth Faerie, but I think that one's dead. I'd aim at the one still standing, or the really nasty looking one behind it."

Scarlet goes before Tandang in the initiative order, and as I suspect that Mr Chompers may have taken care of Red on his own, then perhaps Tandang's Ray of Frost would be better used on a different target. I suggest White.

By the way, If Scarlet goes down, Mr Chompers goes poof. She's only got an AC of 13, so doesn't do too well as a meat shield.

{Are those plants?}
[Looks that way]
{They don't look very friendly}
[No. They don't. Time do do some weeding I think]

Scarlet casts a quick spell ("बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्)") as Mr Chompers charges the nearest one and tears into it.

Action 1 (◆): Act Together
Scarlet Action 1: Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18

Chompers Action 3 (◆): Tendril Strike (Jaws) with MAP1 vs Red

Chompers Jaws Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 4 = 14
Chompers Jaws Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 piercing damage

Yes, you can HP it. Are you referring to the Nat 1?

Not specifically. Using a Hero Point is a fortune effect that would cancel the misfortune effect and turn the roll into a single regular roll; at least that's the way I read the rules. Since crit failing is no better than failing then, no, I was not planning to use it for that; I was just inquiring for the future.

But... the point is now moot, so never mind.

Scarlet and Mr Chompers watch on as Slipp tries to rearrange the mushrooms

[What's she up to?]
{She's rearranging the mushrooms}
[I can see that, but why bother?]
{They're magic mushrooms that are keeping the door open. I think she wants to close it before something nasty comes through}
[Too late!]

I assume that since Scarlet and Mr Chompers are both in the aura that they each need to roll the two will saves.

Scarlet Will Save vs DC 16: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Scarlet Will Save vs DC 16: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

{I feel a little funny}
[Yeah, me too, but it's time to rock and roll. These mushrooms aren't going to eat themselves]

Scarlet casts a couple of quick spells ("बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्" and "बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्") as Mr Chompers starts feasting on the mushroom ring ("<Nom, nom, nom!>").

Action 1 (◆): Act Together

Chompers Jaws Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7 piercing damage

Scarlet Action 3 (◆): Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18

Is the Unluck Aura a misfortune effect? Can we use a Hero Point to cancel the effects of Unlock Aura on a single check?

[Where are the mushrooms? I was promised mushrooms!]
{They're supposed to be around here}
[Well, I don't see them]
{Hold on Mr Chompers}

Scarlet lifts her head and sniffs the air. <SNIFF!, SNIFF!>

Scarlet Survival +1 vs DC 18: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26

She turns in place and stopping suddenly, lifts her arm to point. "I think there are mushrooms that way."

[Great! Let's go]

Mr Chompers starts rolling in the direction that Scarlet pointed.

{Wait for us Mr Chompers!}

As they work their way to the site of the Door of Seasons, they occasionally catch glimpses of other groups of Pathfinders through the forest. During one such fleeting contact, Scarlet hops onto a log to see better and waves to their distant colleagues to catch their attention. She then dances a little happy jig to boost their spirits.

Scarlet Performance (Timely Inspiration Boost) vs DC 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

[What was that about?]
{I was just happy to see we aren't all alone out here}
[We have each other. That's all the happiness I need]
{Not everyone is like you Mr Chompers. Some people need to know that they're not alone in the world or they will be sad}
[Great! Now can we get going? My stomachs are growling and the mushrooms beckon]

Timely Inspiration Aid token successfully boosted to 3 rounds.

{Very good Mr Chompers}
[Bah! It was nothing. A mere breeze]
{Where to now?}
[That's up to you, but the Mushroom Ring sounds tasty]
{Are you hungry again?}
[I'm ALWAYS hungry]

You might also want to start thinking of what token to pass, if you'd like to pass a token to another table.

Didn't Tandang boost a Burst of Healing token to send to another table in THIS post? Are we doing a second one now?

Sorry for the delay, but I'm in Europe this time of year and the time shift is such that I'm usually asleep during the North American afternoon and evening when a lot of the action tends to occur.

When they reach the place where the Thorned Monarch has thrown up a wall of thick undergrowth to impede their progress, Scarlet clutches her doll to her tightly as she surveys the scary looking plants in their way.

{Mr Chompers? Help}
[I'm there]

Scarlet Action 1, 2 & 3 (◆◆◆): Manifest Eidolon

She tosses her stuffed doll a short distance away and almost before it hits the ground, Mr Chompers is already transforming explosively into his usual frenzy of lashing tendrils and slavering mouths full of razor-sharp teeth. "Graarrrr!"

I'm pretty sure that it's only one skill roll per PC in these situations, but if both Scarlet and Mr Chompers can roll, let me know.

{Can you get us through Mr Chompers?}
[Not a problem]

The mass of tendrils, teeth and eyes that is Mr Chompers rears towards the undergrowth and is about to try smashing its way through when Nic pipes up with an alternate route.

[Curses!]

Following the new route, they reach an area of noxious fumes.

{Pee ew!}

This time it is Slipp and Jalthas that find a way around, which leads them to an area of dangerous ground and blasting winds.

[Hang on Scarlet. I'll get us past this]

A tendril wraps itself around the girl's waist as the rest of Mr Chompers' tendrils look for purchase in the cracks of the dangerous ground. He then heaves against the blasting wind and works his way slowly forward...

Chompers Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

..with some success.

Magical Supplies - Minor Healing Potion

Mapping - Survey Map for one encounter in Part 1

Is the healing potion in addition to the usual bonus consumable we get from the Society?

I'll go with a survey map for the Murderous Plants encounter. Sounds like that'll be right up Scarlet and Mr Chompers' alley.

Tieri takes a cold iron arrow, and offers to trade his other rewards for more of them, as archery is really his thing.

Ah, I didn't know you were that into archery. I proposed giving mine to Nic because he'd already picked one out for himself and I figured he could use a second. I don't really care who gets it as long as it gets used, which Scarlet can't do.

Tieri will give his glyph to Scarlet. He takes the healing potions.

Yay! Thanks.

Scarlet will take a Scroll of Magic Fang as her free consumable.

She'll take the Lesser Antidote and a Lesser Acid Flask. She'll also take a Cold Iron Arrow and Dagger.

She'll hand off the Cold Iron Arrow to Nic Blackwillow, and the Lesser Acid Flask she gives to Tieri the Tooth Faerie; she can use neither.

also in the Adventure Slides deck, there is a list of Encounters in Part 1. Please decide which ones you'd like to do and in what order. We should try to get as many done at a time.

I have no opinion on either the order or the count of the encounters. I'm quite happy to leave it to the GM and/or the other players.

Nic Blackwillow wrote:

Nic has Thievery, but backup is not a bad thing. Survival would be a good one.

Great! Anyone good at Medicine, then? That's another of my options.

Scarlet is no good at Medicine, but she's a wizz at Performance +7, so Timely Inspiration would work for her. She's also Nature +6, so Provide Knowledge might also work. And it will take Mr Chompers' +7 to take a shot at Allied Offensive.

How does it work? Do we just randomly say we want to pass a token and roll for the boost or does the required action need to take place naturally during gameplay?

Scarlet is a little overwhelmed by all the people running around the camp and wraps her little arms around her stuffed doll for comfort.

Scarlet and her eidolon, Mr Chompers, are in constant telepathic contact, even when he's not manifested. I will regularly transcribe their communications with each other as below, but these should be treated as private and unheard by the other PCs.

[What do I do, Mr Chompers?]
{Beats me, but if anyone gives you trouble, call me and I'll tear them apart}
[I don't think that'll be necessary just yet, Mr Chompers. I'll go ask someone what I should be doing]

She wanders up to one group and after asking what she can do to help, she's put to work by Urwal making sure that none of their supplies have spoiled during the voyage here.

Scarlet Nature for Urwal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

She is then directed to another group and finds herself weighing and mixing magical ingredients to help make magical potions.

Scarlet Nature for Fola Barun: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

After which she's sent to help Venture-Captain Torrsen double-check the accuaracy of certain maps.

Scarlet Nature for VC Torrsen: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

No sooner is she done with that task that her faction leader Calisro Benarry asks her to cheer up a group of nervous initiates. Being such a nervous initiate herself, she wonders why the pirate lady would think she'd be any good at it, but not wanting to disappoint, she does her best to put them at ease by playing with her doll.

{Let me loose and I'll give them a real show}
[I think that would only make them even more nervous, Mr Chompers]

Scarlet Performance for Benarry: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

She then heads over to help Valais Durant look over documents on the local plants and animals to identify possible dangers they may face.

Scarlet Nature for Valais Durant: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

But when her turn comes to help repair damaged equipment, she's at a total loss.

{I think I may need your help with this, Mr Chompers}
[Great! Who do you want me to tear apart first?]
{Um, nobody. We just need to lift these heavy things so we can fix them}
[Ugh. Whatever]

Scarlet warns the others and then drops her stuffed doll onto the ground in front of her.

Scarlet Action 1, 2 & 3 (◆◆◆): Manifest Eidolon

The stuffed doll jerks slightly for a moment and then seems to explode upwards and outwards like a terrifying volcano of lashing tendrils and chomping jaws full of razor-sharp teeth. "Yeaaarrrghhhh!"

She points at one of the carts with the broken wheels. Mr Chompers wraps his tendrils around it and bracing himself against the ground with a few more, lifts it off the ground.

Chompers Athletics for VC Blackthane: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Mr Chompers is in the house!

Forgot the earn income roll.

Between adventures, Scarlet plays up the little lost girl with the stuffed animal angle and depends on the kindness of strangers for her support.

Performance (Earn Income) vs DC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

According to this table a critical success on a Scenario is good for 16sp. Weee!

Macros, Slides and RPG Chronicles updated. Good to go.

Got it. Thanks to all for a fun Bounty.

{That'll teach it to mess with us}
[Wow, Mr Chompers. You made a mess of that thing]
{Yeah. Pinky didn't stand a chance}
[I suppose it was the same thing that killed the donkey]
{Speaking of which...}

Mr Chompers rolls up to the corpse and gives it a tentative nibble.

{Well, it's no donkey, but beggars can't be choosers}

"<Crunch!, Slurp!>"

[Ew!]

[Oh my! Did you see what it just did to Sir Ironwolf?]
{Yeah. Peeled him open like an old tin can}
[Do be careful Mr Chompers]
{Tell that to pinky over there. I'm going to take its head off}

Scarlet is all out of spell slots with which to cast Heal, so someone else will have to put Ironwolf back on his feet.

Scarlet casts a spell on Mr Chompers ("बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्") while the latter gets back to the business of killing Pinky.

Action 1 (◆): Act Together
- Scarlet Action 1: Cast a Spell: Boost Eidolon vs Chompers
- Chompers Action 1: Tendril Strike (Tendril Strike) with Boost Eidolon and Magic Fang vs Pinky

Chompers Tendril Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25
Chompers Tendril Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 + (1) + 2 = 13 bludgeoning damage

Chompers Tendril Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 + (5) + 2 = 18 bludgeoning damage

Scarlet claps her hands and with a "बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्", throws a quick protection spell on Mr Chompers.

Scarlet Action 3 (◆): Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18

[I don't see anything Mr Chompers. Are you sure there's something out there?]
{Positive. <Sniff!, Sniff!> But I don't know where it is}
[What's that!]
{Ha! Gotcha!}

<Flash!>

Scarlet Fortitude Save vs DC XX: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Chompers Fortitude Save vs DC XX: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Both are Dazzled 1, requiring a DC 5 flat check when targeting... anything.

[Oooo... I see stars]
{Argh! So bright. It'll pay for that}

Mr Chompers rolls forward a few feet to get the creature within range, and almost too fast to be seen, one of his tendrils unravels and lashes out at the creature from a distance.

Chompers Action 1 (◆): Step (5 feet)

Chompers Action 2 (◆): Tendril Strike (Tendril Strike) with Magic Fang vs Pinky

Chompers Concealment Check vs DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Chompers Tendril Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 26
Chompers Tendril Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1d8 ⇒ (7) + 4 + (1) = 12 bludgeoning damage

Scarlet claps her hands and with a "बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्", throws a quick protection spell on Mr Chompers as he lashes out once again.

Action 3 (◆): Act Together
- Scarlet Action 3: Cast a Spell: Protect Companion vs Chompers - he's now at AC 18
- Chompers Action 3: Tendril Strike (Tendril Strike) with Magic Fang and MAP1 vs Pinky

Scarlet Concealment Check vs DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Chompers Concealment Check vs DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Chompers Tendril Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 - 5 = 13
Chompers Tendril Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (6) = 12 bludgeoning damage

Dazzled condition is removed.

Scarlet has the Expanded Senses feat which gives Mr Chompers scent as an imprecise sense with a range of 30 feet. Not sure if that provides any additional help vs just hearing in this situation though.

Sorry, neither Scarlet nor Mr Chompers is trained in those skills.

Mr Chompers opens his mouth and takes in a deep breath.

{Careful Scarlet. Something nasty's nearby}
[Is that what the scuttling sound was?]
{Once I figure out where it is I'll make sure it can't hurt you}
[I better make you as strong as possible then]

Scarlet Action 1 & 2 (◆◆): Cast a Spell: Magic Fang vs Chompers (Tendril)

Action 3 (◆): Act Together
- Scarlet Action 3: Seek (Perception +6) - SECRET
- Chompers Action 3: Seek (Perception +4) - SECRET

When the halflings thank them and make to leave, Scarlet waves to them. "It was our pleasure."

{You can say that again <Burp!>}
[Wave goodbye and apologize for eating their donkey]
{Seriously? I did them a favor}
[I insist]
{Fine!}

Mr Chompers erupts in a frenzy of waving tendrils and (in what passes for a smile with his kind) his jaws open wide to display a multitude of razor-sharp teeth still dripping with dead donkey bits. A strange guttural sound emanates from within. "Καλό ταξίδι και συγγνώμη για τον γάιδαρο." (Using Greek for Sylvan)

[There, that wasn't so difficult, was it?]
{Not really. It was fun. Doesn't look like the little people found it quite so enjoyable, har har!}

[Um. Mr Chompers? The little people don't like you eating their donkey]
{<Munch!> Why not? <Crunch!, Slurp!>}
[I think it was their friend or something]
{<Burp!> All done. <Barf!>}

Mr Chompers convulses once and coughs up a small pile of clean white bones stripped of all flesh. Scarlet looks a little sheepish. "Um. Sorry about that. Mr Chompers was hungry and he thought it was just another donkey; he didn't know it was your friend."

{Not that it would've made a difference if I had}
[Hush! They don't know that]

Given the mention of a dangerous creature in the vicinity, Scarlet decides to let Mr Chompers stay a while longer.

[Looks like you get to push the cart out of the mud Mr Chompers]
{How menial. This better be worth it}

Scarlet tosses her stuffed doll onto the ground in front of her.

Scarlet Action 1, 2 & 3 (◆◆◆): Manifest Eidolon

The stuffed doll jerks slightly for a moment and then seems to explode upwards and outwards like a terrifying volcano of lashing tendrils and chomping jaws full of razor-sharp teeth. "Yeaaarrrghhhh!"

Mr Chompers looks around him, his gaze pauses on the halflings.

{Mmmm}
[No! Mr Chompers. They're not food]
{Hmph}
[The cart is over there]
{Fine!}

Mr Chompers then seems to almost roll over the ground as tendrils and roots move in unison to keep his main mass elevated. He slips behind the cart, and his root-like apendages sink into the mud to gain purchase as his tendrils wrap themselves across the back. With a ""NNNNnnnnngh!"", his body tenses and he pushes against the back of the cart.

Chompers Athletics vs DC 18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

{Happy?}
[Oh yes Mr Chompers. Good job]

Mr Chompers then rolls over to the dead donkey and pokes at it a moment before his huge jaws open up and he takes a nibble, then a full bite.

{Not bad. Could use a little salt}

In about 12 hours I will be starting a road trip that will take me from Valencia, Spain, to Florence, Italy. I will be on the road Friday, Saturday and Sunday and will only be able to post in the evenings once I get to my hotels (so around midday in the US). Just wanted to let you know that I may not be posting as often or as voluminously this weekend.

Scarlet claps her hands when Papa Samedi suggests helping the halflings by building a ramp. "Oh, yes. Let's help these poor men." She then frowns and sticks out her lower lip in a slight pout. "But I'm not very strong." She brightens up as an idea hits her. Lifting her doll up she says, "But Mr Chompers is strong. Maybe he can help."

{Wait, what?}
[These people need our help]
{So? What do I get out of it?}
[There's still some dead donkey left, but Ew!]
{Is it fresh?}

Presumably some skill rolls are needed here. Athletics? Crafting? Survival? Mr Chompers is Athletics +7, and Scarlet is Survival +6, but if it's Crafting, forget about it.

Scarlet stops when she sees the poor dejected halflings poking at their desultory fire.

{What? What is it?}
[Just some sad-looking little people]
{Are they also tasty looking?}
[Hush! We need to help them]

She waves at the halflings. "Yoo hoo! Over here! You look sad. Is there anything we can do to help?"

{Good idea. Get them to come closer}
[They are not food Mr Chompers]

When Oloria inquires about Mr Chompers and whether he moves like Princess Clover, Scarlet frowns in thought a moment. "Oh, no. Mr Chompers doesn't really have legs, he sort of just rolls along the ground." She tosses her doll into the air spinning and catches it again. "Something like that."

{Whoa! Easy there Scarlet. I think I'm going to be sick}
[You're such a big baby]

When Oloria produces the satchel, Scarlet takes it and hangs it across her shoulder so she doesn't have to use her hands to carry it. "We can have a picnic along the way. It'll be fun!"

{I don't think there's enough in there for me. Ask for more}
[It's not for you. We'll find you something yummy along the road]
{It better not take long. I'm getting hungrier by the minute}

Scarlet, a little confused by her sudden and unexpected appearance in Otari, wraps her little arms around her stuffed doll and looks about in confusion at all the comings and goings. The passersby ignore the diminutive gnome girl as they make their way hither and thither.

[I'm scared Mr Chompers. What do I do?]
{You should call me to you. I will destroy these puny creatures so that they no longer cause you fear.}

Through their shared telepathic link, she could feel Mr Chompers' growling and gnashing of teeth as he struggled to be let loose.

[Um... I'm not so sure Mr Chompers. That might make things worse.]
{These fearsome creatures deserve carnage for their crimes against my Scarlet. Call me to you!}

Scarlet looks around at all the people passing by, but none seem particularly interested in causing her harm.

[I don't think they want to hurt me. They're just normal people.]
{Curses! I'm beginning to feel a little hungry. Are you certain they mean you no harm?}
[If anyone tries something funny, I'll call on you, okay?]

Through their link, she could feel Mr Chompers grumbling and swearing under his breath in frustration.

[Mr Chompers! Language!]
{That was just my stomach rumbling. I swear!}
[Yeah, suuuure it was.]

She makes her displeasure palpable through their link, and Mr Chompers quickly backs down. Scarlet then looks around and sees a group milling about at the entrance to a business. Interested, she tightens her grip on her doll and wanders over to see what's going on. Squeezing past what looks like a walking doll and an old man with strange hair, she spots the woman asking them for an introduction. When it's her turn, Scarlet clutches tightly to her stuffed doll. She makes a little curtsy in her plain sundress, which sends her bright orange hair bobbing. "Um, ma'am. I'm Scarlet." She then lifts her arm to bring attention to her doll, a strange conglomeration of parts that is hard to identify. "And this is Mr. Chompers, my friend. What are we delivering?"

I have dotted in and updated the Slides and Macros.

Once the bodyguard goes down, the animated plant spins left and right, tendrils flying out in all directions as he looks for another target.

{That's it!? But class is still in session!}
[Um. I think the bad men have learned their lesson, Mr Chompers.]
{How disappointing. Who knew they'd be such good students.}
[Time to go Mr Chompers.]
{What? No! I only just got out!}

Scarlet Action 1, 2 & 3 (◆◆◆): Unmanifest Eidolon

The still spinning Mr Chompers lets out one last wail before he seems to collapse into himself and fall to the ground. On the floor where he used to stand is a small stuffed doll. Scarlet skips over and reclaims it, hugging it to her chest.

{It's not fair.}
[You know the rules Mr Chompers.]

I had fun too. Too bad it had to end so quickly.

Scarlet pouts in displeasure as Buford goes down under the bodyguard's blows.

[I hope Mr Oxcatcher is okay. Mr Baltaram's friend is a bad man.]
{I'll go give him a lesson in manners then, shall I?}
[Your lessons tend to be rather, um... intense, Mr Chompers.]
{Heh, heh; yeah, they are, but it's the only way people like these guys'll learn anything.}
[Okay. Whatever you think. You're the teacher after all]
{Heh, heh; 'Teacher'. I like that.}

Scarlet reaches out and touches one of Mr Chompers' tendrils and says, "खराब मानिसहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुहोस्" Mr Chompers leaps forward on several of his tendrils and charges towards Baltaram and his last bodyguard. Once within range, one of his tendrils lashes out and slams into the bodyguard.

Action 1 & 2 (◆): Act Together
- Scarlet Action 1 & 2 (◆◆): Cast a Spell: Magic Fang vs Chompers (Tendril)

Note: Ulvard may want to Delay until after Scarlet's turn.

In about 10 hours I will be getting on a plane for the first leg of what will be (if all goes well) about a 24 hour journey from Australia to Spain. My connections are pretty tight so I don't expect to be able to post along the way. I know that Scarlet isn't quite up yet, but in the interests of expediency, the following is her first turn.

Scarlet decides to let Mr Chompers loose and tosses her stuffed doll onto the floor in front of her.

[It's play time, Mr Chompers!]
{Yes!}

Scarlet Action 1, 2 & 3 (◆◆◆): Manifest Eidolon

The stuffed doll jerks slightly for a moment and then seems to explode upwards and outwards like a terrifying volcano of lashing tendrils and chomping jaws full of razor-sharp teeth. "Yeaaarrrghhhh!"

Looking about, Mr Chompers zeroes in on the nearest bodyguard within easy reach and lashes out with a tendril to try and knock the man off his feet.

He has Reach with his Tendril Strike.

Chompers Action 1 (◆): Tendril Strike (Tendril Trip) vs Red

Chompers Athletics (Trip): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Yuck!. Hero Point! Reroll...
Chompers Athletics (Trip): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Better!

By the way, how much cover do those columns provide? Is it possible to attack through them (ie. can Mr Chompers attack Blue)?
