Scrabbler's page

Hi folks. You might have noticed I've been absent for a while. My apologies. I'm dealing with a bunch of overlapping life changes that have left me wiped out during my small amount of free time.

I can't reliably post right now, and I'm not sure when that will change, so I'm reluctantly dropping out of this game.

I've really enjoyed the character interactions. If I can sort out real life I'll come back and beg to rejoin.

Scrabbler put the thorny crown on his head. "Maybe plants be nicer if they think mees they king."

I liked PF2's character creation system, and how dynamic the combat feels. The three-action system is elegant.

However, the trap-making system and the "pet class" system both suuuuuuuuuck.

Admittedly, I played during the beta, so those systems might have changed. I haven't followed up.

Wait, have we been a level behind for a while? No wonder this area kicked our assess so bad.

I'll get my level ups done in the next few days.

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Nearly free of the plants, Scrabbler was snagged again at the very edge.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

But he managed to slip free again.

Moving into stealth with the rest of my action.

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Scrabbler managed to keep free of the grasping plants and struggled out of their reach.

Double move, 20'

Alch Fire, round 2: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Scrabbler managed to slip free of the grasping vines. He pushed through toward the hag.

Standard action, escape. Move action at 1/2 speed means I only move 10 feet. This might take a while.

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Scrabbler struggled against the grasping plants but found himself thoroughly trapped. "ME HATE STUPID PLANTS!" he screeched.

Pulling out a vial of alchemist's fire, he threw it at the awful longshanks lady.

Ranged Touch, inspired, 5th increment: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 8 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 - 8 = 13
Fire damage, inspired: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 1 = 6

Alchemist fire is considered a persistent damage source and forces concentration checks on the rounds it deals damage

According to the map I'm not near the chest, which is fine. I'm fine being rear guard.

I don't see the elf druid on the map though. I'd really like to stab her.

"Why everything here bad!" Scrabbler yelled. He hurled himself at the elfshank plantwizard, happy for someone to stab that would actually bleed like stabbed things should.

Intended action is to charge the druid. I'll wait to make the rolls until I find out if that's possible.

Yes please, sorry about all the delays lately. Life is crazy right now and will likely continue that way until the end of august.

Scrabbler yelps as the thorn buries itself in his side. Then he ducks out of sight.

Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

My intent is to move behind cover to hide, then move in stealth adjacent to the thing, then go for a full attack sneak attack next round.

Sorry, I'm traveling until the 27th. I thought that I'd have more time to post, but so far I haven't. I'll post now, but please bot me if I'm not as present as usual for the next week.

Scrabbler whined unhappily. He did not like the idea of fighting another plant. He did not like climbing them, or eating them, or stabbing them. Plants were just bad.

He resorted to his sling so he didn't have to get up next to it.

Sling: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Being made of metal, the trap should have a hardness of 10 or more. Does blast damage ignore hardness?

Might be a short fight.

Scrabbler tapped Bupkis and held up his bear trap. "Do rock throw trick with this?" he asked nervously.

Scrabbler is afraid of the plant and doesn't want to engage, so he's going full defensive this round.

"Scrabbler no like eaty plants," the little goblin said, disheartened by the idea of facing off against yet another dangerous vegetable.

In spite of his fear he moved next to Bupkis, opened and readied his beartrap, and waited.

Scrabbler blinks in slow confusion, then hopped to his feet, seeming to skip all the usual stuff that went into standing up. He went from lying prone to upright with one big twitch.

"Bad plants make sleep dust!" He exclaimed, finally catching on. "Why all the plants here bad?"

"SSSSSSNOOOOOORRRRRREwheeeezeSNOOOOORRRRRRKKKK"

How long will I continue to sleep for?

Fort save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Con damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Scrabbler's flailing made him breathe the pollen deeply. He slumped to the ground.

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Scrabbler was still full of fear and adrenaline after his encounter with the evil chompy plant, so he shook off the fatigue without really realizing what it was.

He definitely noticed everyone else falling asleep though, and it sent him into a new spiral of panic.

"Nononoes! Is no sleep time!" He lashed out, hitting Daseem and Bupkis with his tiny fists.

Purposefully using Strength to damage, and dealing Non-lethal damage. Will 5' adjust between attacks if I need to.

Punch Daseem, Flurry 1, (attacking prone, unconscious targets, should be hard to miss): 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 1 = 12
Super Secret Wake Up Punch Technique: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1 Minimum one damage

Punch Bupkis, Flurry 2, (attacking prone, unconscious target): 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 1 = 12
Goblin Friendship Smack: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0 Minimum one damage

Scrabbler eventually shook off the stiffness with a wimper. His new skin was bright green and healthy looking, but his eyes were wild and traumatized.

"Bad plant eats me." he whispered.

ok, so down two and wasn't unconscious at any point. I think Scrabbler just developed a new phobia

I have no idea what state I'm in when (if) I wake up. A little help, GM?

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Scrabbler's muffled screams went abruptly silent.

Scrabbler squawked in surprise. "Haaaalp!"

Initiative?

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12 Newp

Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Scrabbler slipped ahead of the party to look around, disappearing into the green.

"Bupkis smart gobbo," Scrabbler grinned proudly.

Scrabbler's eyes went wide, looking between himself and Bupkis, and the much larger Dwarf. Anyone with even rudimentary self preservation instincts would have been able to see that it was a terrible idea that would probably send them all careening into the abyss.

"Oh, good ideas!"

Scrabbler came scampering back.

"Goes to inside a big tree, downs there!" he pointed below into the dark beneath the lily pads. "Well, not rights there, but like there. Under the bridge with the not-see-um things!"

"Me scouts!" Scrabbler said impulsively. He disappeared around the corner.

Moving into the hallway.

Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

After they'd rested, Scrabbler was impatient. "We goes now? Over big froggy leaves, yes?"

"Why Daseem talks like that?" Scrabbler quietly asked Bupkis. "Is hims cold?"

Scrabbler sighed. "This place no funs."

Then he worked his way back across the lily pads.

Taking 10 on Acro to hop from pad to pad. Once on the other side Bupkis can TK the rope to me and I'll find a place to anchor it.

From safely behind the cover of Ivan's shield, Scrabbler threw a burny flask at the big bug.

Alchemist Fire, ranged touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

You are mistaking Dazed with Staggered.

I should have had a standard action every round.

That was two rounds ago. Last round I moved to where Ivan was for cover. This round I wanted to try to attack the thing, and I've been told no.

So its clear I dont understand the situation. What are my options?

This fight is confusing to me. Doesn't this thing have reach? Was it adjacent to us? I thought it was above us.

How come Menrozzor, Daseem and Ivan were all able to attack this thing, but I couldn't?

GM, my Limb Climber ability requires me to be adjacent. This thing is flying. Can I jump up to get adjacent to it and try for the required Climb check?

Somehow I got skipped last turn. I was Staggered, but I still should have gotten an action (not that it probably would have helped)

Acro, DC 21: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

Again, Scrabbler was knocked flying through the air, this time hitting the wall with the force of the blow. He slid to the ground, holding his ringing head, sprawled on the ground.

Wall damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Prone, and also staggered until the end of my turn.

Activate Monkey Style so I can crawl without penalty.

Scrabbler crawled beneath Ivan's legs, crouching and taking cover behind the dwarf's massive shield.

"It gonna eat me!"

Reflex save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Scrabbler managed to catch the edge and gave his companions a sheepish grin from near their feet, his eyes looking a little unfocused and dazed.

"Mees back."

Staggered until the end of my next action.

The feat says I pick the direction my movement takes me, so I picked. If I take that blow, I'm grappled and nearly dead.

So I guess I'll go up then? Or back the way I came and land among the party?

Acrobatics, DC 26: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

Scrabbler rose the blow as the creatures mandibles shot out, letting himself be knocked back. He rolled to his feet, his head spinning.

Moving 20 feet, which puts me on the next lily pad over. I am staggered during my next action.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"Yum!" Scrabbler said, opening his mouth wide and chomping down on a big mouthful of squirmy flies. He couldn't see though. His longshank friends probably wouldn't want to eat flies. He couldnt' stab them or punch them.

"Oh!" he said, suddenly inspired.

Scrabbler closed his eyes and fished out a bomb and a tinder twig. Move action

Then he lit the tinder twig. Standard action. I'll light the bomb next round.

Scrabbler nodded quickly and ran for the lily pads.

"Hop hop! Like froggy!"

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18 Uh oh.

"What chalk for?" Scrabbler asked.

So Amira is locked out? Can I do the readied action door thing again to let her through?

"Not locked! We runs?" Scrabbler asked, not sure what to do.

My plan is to use a move action to open the door, then ready a standard action to 5' adjust and shut it when the party is through. Screw this thing.

I'm staggered this round.

Scrabbler half stumbled the rest of the way to the door.

I can't get sneak attack against this thing, so my damage is piddly.
