Scripio's page

"Any horny minotaurs in here? You Mama looking for you!" Scripio joins the others in calling out.

Scripio nods enthusiastically.

Singing words isn't breathing them though, right? Who knows, just pretend like you know what the longshanks are saying.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Scripio begins to shout, "It's a tr--" But then Sigrid just bowls it over and puts an end to it. "Oh. See that's what we should have done with the other trap!"

The goblin skips over to where another satchel is lying. "Found it!"

Will Save, DC17: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Scripio taunts the statue. "Haha! No making me come closer!" The goblin rushes forward cracking his whip overhead.

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 Result also acts as RK on the Statue

A rope of climbing has been useful for my low-strength characters too.

Scripio make a little ditty about their adventure scaling a wall.

We went up, up, up, but wait a moment!
We all together we pullin'
Hadega gonna be lifted
Up, up, up with our pullin'
Gonna be, gonna be golden!

Performance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Will Save, DC17: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

The goblin jumps up and down as Sigrid invites Hadega to climb the rope. He does pause for a moment to point down at Hadega, telling Sigrid. "Her name Hadega. Didn't you listen?"

Scripio will try to help any of the others up the rope if they wish.

Can we aid the climb check from up above? If half are set on staying below, then Scripio will find a loose rock to hurl down on the trap while the others stay out of the way.

"Yay! Scripio loves ropes! And knots!" The goblin scrambles up the rope but then slips just neat the top and tumbles all the way down, landing in a heap. "Stupid ropes! And knots!" The battered goblin tries again and his chaotic energy finally gets him to the top.

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

If that's a bad idea, take the rock away from the chaos goblin. No harm done. But everyone will need to Long Jump to make it past.

Scripio looks at the trap again and then shouts. "Find big rock!" He hurries off to find a rock to hurl and spring the trap.

If we can't disarm it, we could spring it and hope it doesn't reset.

Scripio climbs up to fetch the canvas bag with the clangy strap. He rifles through it quickly before securing it around himself. "Ok! Let's mooo-ve!"

As they approach the walls, Scripio starts to try and trace the footprints. "And then this one went here, and this one went there. That one has one foot bigger than the other. That one needs a pedicure."

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

He looks up towards the end of the passage. "Hey! There's something there. Like a floor that goes up and down. But only a little!"

Open the spoiler. Need someone with Thievery.

I wish they would just reprint the Scorpion Whip.

Previous target of EV: 1d3 ⇒ 3 Blue!

Scripio stares at Hadega for a long moment. He has no idea what she said, but she made his whip sparkly! He rushes forward, cracking his whip overhead. "It's time to play the music! It's time to light the lights! It's time to feel the sparkle on the whippy show tonight!"

"Scripio know zombies! They don't like being cut open. Like with cutting things." He examines his whip and works to tie a rock with a razor's edge onto the tip.

Nothing about Scripio says stealth.

The goblin squints at the undead and tries to make out what they are. "We should rescue the bag. Paints are important to horny minotaurs."

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
If it's a mixed group, he'll try to focus on one of the ones with the most of the same type.

You look over and Scripio is stomping in the mud. "Wheee!" Then he stops to scoop some up into a vial and pocket it.

Nature: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

"Look at the bag!" Scripio points to a bag sinking into the marsh. He tries to wade in to grab it, but can't keep his feet.

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

I think everyone can open the spoiler now and roll the skills?

Scripio stares at Hadega for a long moment. Then he whispers. "Psst! I think they're called 'calves'." The goblin nods at her very seriously.

Scripio points to Brutus. "I found one! Yay, we done!"

He spins and dances. "Scripio see things others don't! We get paid now, right?"

The goblin looks around the courtyard with wide eyes. "That so loud! Scripio needs to learn that to sing LOUD for people!!! Lots of people could hear us sing then!" He seems only to have taken Hadega's words as an example of how loud she can be, not actual instructions.

"Does we know the names of the missing minotaurs that wandered off? Maybe better than just walking around saying, 'hey minotaurs!'" He looks squarely up at Hadega and then Obed. "Better to be polite! Missing minotaurs are viewed as an embarrassment that reflects poorly on the rest." He cracks his whip to emphasize the point.

"MINOTAURS?!!" A small goblin rushes out to the courtyard. He's waving a whip in his hand cracking it over his head. "Scripio come to see the minotaurs!" His armor is paint in garish colors with no real discernible pattern, though under it he seems to be wearing very tight purplish pants. A beaten metal pin is hold some sort of design, though you can't make out what it is or says.

"Leeeet's gooooo!" He shouts, cracking the whip overhead again, seemingly unconcerned with how close it is to the others. "Horny minotaurs waiting! Time to moooove!"

With the urgency there's really no time to check whether the goblin is supposed to be there or just wandered in at the mention of minotaurs.

I'm happy to bring Vermithor if you want, Hadega! I didn't think we needed another barbarian since we already have one and 2 fighters.

Besides, Scripio may prove even more difficult to corral than Vermithor. At least the dragonkin *wants* to follow instructions.

Good with Friendly Fire. Scripio has resist Fire 1 if that helps. With this group, I think he'll take a Heal Scroll as his provision.

Scripio rushes up behind VB, snapping out a beat with his whip. The goblin's presence and beat are oddly inspiring. "Thunder! Thunder! You've been Thunderstruck!" He lashes out at the cat, who is no fan of thunder.

Scripio laughs as the kitty scratches him and runs away. He turns back to the one allergic to bees. "Watch out, lots of little bees!"

I'm going to bow out too. I have a full slate with Outpost.

With a flick of his hand, Scripio unfurls the scroll he's been holding and yells, "Tada!" VB can see that the writing is upside down, but somehow the goblin's performance is inspiring. Then he looks beside him at the orange feline and considers how much it is afraid of bees.

Exploit Vulnerability on orange: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Probably a fail, but not a CF.

Scripio got a 12 on his initiative. To be fair, I edited the post about 10 minutes after initially posting it.

Scripio pulls a scroll out to prepare to enter the cave.

Search!

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Scripio gets back up and cracks his whip in celebration at the wolves being taken down. He blows a raspberry at Muckmuck. "We not gonna die, see? If goblin goes down, longshanks protect us and kill the fire doggies!"

He watches Shamus collect a trophy from the wolf (I assume) and then goes over to sniff at it himself. He clips a bit of the wolf's claw, sniffs it, and then nods, putting it in a small pouch.

Scripio skips along towards the last cinder wolf and tries to see if the wolf is lactose intolerant or afraid of clowns.

Exploit Vulnerability vs Red: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Success up to level 7; also counts as RK result

"Fire doggies!" He turns to VB in a serious tone. "Keep them apart or they bite you together. Now keep up!" The goblin rushes out and moves to the side, blowing raspberries at the wolves.

Scripio shouts to the goblins. "It's maybe just lions, tigers, and bears! And maybe direwolves. And panthers." He runs out of fingers to count. Then he remembers his whip and cracks it in the air. "Pathfinders will scare them off! Save goblins forever!"

He jumps up on the one of the wagons to sing.
"Forever" <whip crack> "And ever" <whip crack> "And ever and ever and ever...." Spit just flies from his lips as he sings.

Performance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Checking in this thread with Scripio. Since this is more of a mechanics speed run, I'll seriously tone down any goblin silliness.

1) Scripio is seemingly your typical chaos monster goblin, about 1/4 teeth, 1/2 bad ideas, and 1/4 horrible puns and songs. He's has discovered how cool a whip can be though, so he's constantly cracking it overhead and without regard to how close people are. He's also collected a set of trinkets and other random items, which somehow seem to work for him in just the right way.

2) Nature (trained) +4; Esoteric Lore +8 (-2 for Diverse Lore if not a creature, haunt, or curse)

3) Charhide Goblin; Entertainer; Thaumaturge

4) Weapon Implement (whip), so Scripio has a pseudo-Reactive Strike within 10 feet, but only against his target of Exploit Vulnerability. I'll post the specific triggers with a spoiler for the attack. He can also use any scrolls for his level.

5) Scripio is fairly reckless most of the time! If overwhelmed, he can get scared and hide behind the bigger Pathfinders.

I'll throw in Scripio to help compare the Slayer against the Thaumaturge.

Performance, DC14: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Evidently the everyone is bored of the whippy show. :(

Thanks for a wonderful set of games!

Scripio starts a whipping tune again with a very serious inquiry for Nalora. "Don't you wish you girlfriend was hot like me?"

Performance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Scripio holds up the note and opens it to see weird letters. He turns the page sideways and then upside down before he agrees that's how it should be. He still can't read it.

None here either

Scripio goes to check the bodies of the assassins, rifling through their pockets for anything that might tell them who they are. He looks down at one of them bodies. "You don't mind me seeing what shinys you have, do you?"

Full Retcon

Scripio realizes it's this last assassin that hates spiders. He darts up and tries to lash the man with his whip to get his face full of sticky spider webs.

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Fail, but probably not a crit fail, so PA still applies

Attack vs Red: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Scripio realizes the assassin can't bear spiders and cracks his whip as he pulls out a mass of spider webbing to line his whip. He then lashes at the assassin multiple times, cackles as the webbing lands on him. "Maybe it got spider eggs in it and they eat you from the inside!"

The he spots one of the assassins coming to help their friends and grimaces in revulsion. "Whoa, what happened to your face? Like a lumpy potato. Maybe getting into a fight would help it out!"

Attack vs White, OG: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Scripio looks at Achurius, stunned. "You chose the whippy show?!" He holds his whip aloft, hearing some non-existent trumpet music.

He realizes SGS has moves to engage one of the assassins and He steps up behind him, lashing his whip out at the same foe.

Exploit Vulnerability on White: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Scripio jumps up onto a chair and cracks his whip. "Yeah, you bet there is!" He glances around at the others, seeing the concern on their faces. "Oh, wait. You mean bad trouble?"

He jumps down and yells, "Whippy shooow!", rushing out of the room.

Scripio already tried a performance check too. I think just waiting on FireFlash.

Selwyn is at 5, but still 'neutral'. Interestingly, for both Selwyn and Nalora, Deception is listed as possibly being a lower DC than Diplomacy.

Scripio tries to continue his performance, but gets a bit tangled up in his whip to start. "Big whip energy -- Tiny tangle problem!"

Performance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

I've found it helpful to meta-plan a bit during these influence point encounters.

Shalelu - Garden of Remembrance (1): 4
Selwyn - Damaged Temple of Calistria (2): 5; Labor Lore (how to organize workers), Crafting (help to rebuild the city), Deception, Intimidation, and Diplomacy. He does NOT want to discuss the upcoming elections but talk of the Aspsis Consortium makes him nervous and easier to influence.
Nalora - Laughing Gale Feasthall (3): 0 Calistria Lore, Alcohol Lore, Performance, Deception, Acrobatics, Diplomacy; Resists: Coercion. Weakness: Flirting
Dalamian - Founder's Square (4): 2

We still don't know what skills affect Dalamian and Shalelu, though we know they generally already favor the Society. So we could use someone using Diplomacy to discover those skills.

We seem to be doing well with Selwyn and now Nalora is probably at 2-3.

Does anyone not have any relevant skills yet?

Scripio... I followed your link and lost 45 mins of my night. Thanks a lot...

*cackles*

OMG, a whip fan, who is into performance and probably doesn't mind cheesy flirting to boot?! This is what Scripio has been made for.

The goblin can barely contain his excitement to show Nalora his whip. He thinks back to the Galtean with the tight pants who first showed him how much fun whips could be and let him train with him on the stage.

Scripio dances to a clear spot. "Ok, Pretty lady, let me show you how my whip can move!"

"My whip crack brings all the boys to the yard,
And they're like, it's better than yours,
Darn right it's better than yours,
I can whip you, but I have to charge!"

He grins at Nalora with that last line, and then licks his finger and touches his bottom with a "Pssshh" sound.
