Scripio's page

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
Nonlethal Damage: 2d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 + 2 = 10 +weakness 3 from PA

◆ Exploit Vulnerability on Red
◆ Move
◆ Strike

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
Nonlethal Damage: 2d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 3 + 2 = 11 +weakness 3 (PA)

Attack vs White, OG: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 5 = 20
Nonlethal Damage: 2d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 + 2 = 9 +weakness 3 (PA)

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
Success on a level 2 creature. Also counts as RK.

Attack vs White, OG: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Nonlethal Damage: 2d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 + 2 = 11 +possibly just 3 from PA

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.

Performance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Hero Point bc whippy show must happen: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Scripio skips over to Nalora. "Are you a whippy fan?" He brandishes the whip and cracks it overhead. "Maybe a whippy show later? Or you got other things on your mind?"

Discovery roll on Nalora
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Scripio's roll was a discovery check on the Mayor. Did he learn what skills can be used on him?

Scripio joins Norbwald with the Mayor. "Scripio heard the election is coming up? You been kissing babies and hosting dinners?"

Discovery action with Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Scripio nods at the group, like Nariaba's statement was obvious. "Maybe we go make Talwivir drop out of the race!"

The goblin gets visibly excited when he hears about Nalora being a Calistrian. "Whippy fan!" He cracks his whip over everyone's head.

"There are cookies?" Scripio hops up to stand on a chair and looks at the table. He's quite disappointed to see the lack of cookies, but then he suddenly yells, "WAIT!" For a long moment, everyone looks at him.

The goblin continues to look around for cookies while he speaks."There's someone named Talwivir. Mayor Selwyn doesn't like him. Maybe because Talwivir wants his job. And he is talking about making Greengold green again, like with the Garden of Remembrance. So the Mayor is looking for other support." The goblin hardly seems to even register what he's saying, but then gives a salute to Bork and the Order of Things That Probably Shouldn’t Work But Somehow Do.

Scripio jumps up onto a series of crates as the deckhands yell at him to get down. "I'm on a boat! I'm on a boat! Everybody look at me!
'Cause I'm sailing on a boat!" His whip cracks in the air repeatedly, causing the dockworkers to duck down.

The goblin jumps down from the crates and races down the gangplank, still cracking his whip in the air. He doesn't even stop as he passes Kreighton Shaine. "Byyyye elf man!" The goblin races into the city, hopefully making his way to the The Warmouth.

Scripio waltzes into the room with a grin on his face. "Hello! We kill Foroxicks dead! We kill other wargs and wolves too! Maybe they have names, but we don't care. Oloranvis leave you. I think you leave now too." The goblin gives a wide, toothy grin.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Hero Point: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Scripio begins skipping around the building singing, "Ding Dong! The Warg is dead! Which old warg? The stripy warg!"

Tell the bandits he's dead

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Success up to level 8. Counts as RK too.

Scripio dashes in, bouncing on top of the first two beds. He spots the blue warg and chides it. "Naughty warg!" He quickly ties the hair he took from Mikoceer to the end of his whip. The goblin lashes out with his whip to bring the warg to heel. "Human head lice for you!"

Attack vs Blue: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Nonlethal Damage: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7 +weakness or 3 (PA)

Scripio pulls out an old gum wrapper. He squints at it and nods, then looks past the others at the Warg. "Hello, puppies! Want to go for a walkies?"

Throne room thirded!

Scripio helps reunite the brothers, leading one by the hand to see the other. He smiles a toothy grin. "Now what about Warg? Where is meany?"

Scripio pulls out the hair he had taken from Mikoceer and holds it up to Pytrdir's head. He nods and then turns to head back inside, putting the hair back into his pocket. "Come into cozy house. Scripio find blankies!"

As the others beat down the wolf, Scripio whips the wolf's legs to try and pull it down. Then he joins in, lashing the wolf across its flank.

Trip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Attack vs Red: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 5 = 22

Scripio races up to the wolf, somehow more confident when it didn't chase him down and eat him. He cracks his whip in the air and then across the wolf's back. "Watch me nae nae!" He lashes out at the wolf again. "Watch me nae nae!"

Watch Me Whip vs Red: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Scripio screams as one wolf bites him and then another, even bigger one tries sink even bigger teeth into him. "No! Bad doggy! Goblins taste bad!" He lashes the wolf with his whip before stepping away so it can't eat him.

Ironwolf is having trouble with his internet. He may need botting if he can't post.

"Gah!" Scripio screams as he's suddenly surrounded by wolves, though they thankfully seem to be focused on Ironwolf instead of him. He realizes the Red one is a bit of a germaphobe and spits on his whip before trying to lash out at it. Then the goblin pulls a wrinkled scrap of paper from his pocket and holds it.

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Scripio realizes one of the wolves is afraid of the dentist. He follows Ironwolf and lashes out at the wolf with his whip, taunting the wolf. "Gonna take you to the vet and have him poke into your mouth with a stick!"

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Likely a normal failure

Attack vs Blue: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Moved everyone into the courtyard.

Scripio is shocked by the sheer size of the wolves. "Whoa. Big doggies."

"Hey, you don't pick on him! He's got a brother. You should make sure they're together!" You're not sure if that's a reason to let Pytrdir go or to also torture Mikoceer.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Scripio nods to her. "Ok, lady!" He steps back from the dogs as they pass, but makes a stupid face at them.

Esoteric Lore (Diverse Lore): 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 = 19
I think that works to sub for Irrisen Lore

Scripio comes up the stairs and sees the portrait of the stately woman. "Yaaas! Queen Jadwiga! Scripio is a fan! Taking the Baba Yaga line and letting it aaaaallll go!"

When Scripio hears the voice, he suddenly turns this way and that, looking for the source. "Who you? Spirit? Friendly ghost?" He glances back to the portrait. "Oh, wait, this Oloranvis? Why you waste time taking orders from stinky warg? Be free! Warg not going to get you crown. You know that."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Scripio cracks his whip in some agreement with Bork. "Dogs represent a clear and present danger."

Ready

Scripio is surprised by Ironwolf's objection. "Small pain to make things that probably shouldn’t work but somehow do," he explains slowly as if talking to a child. He points to Norbwald's drink. "See, that help pain even more."

He turns back to Mikoceer. "Who is Oloranvis? Why does she have dogs?"

Scripio comes up behind the man and plucks a single hair from his head. The goblin studies it for a moment, sniffs it, and then nods, putting it into his pocket. "How many are with Foroxicks upstairs? More goblins or other things?"

Scripio goes to check on the clearly inferior goblins for what they might have had on them. He looks up at the prisoner. "Who are you? Why you here in these bad goblins?"

Scripio will just have moved farther in and kept the same actions. He'll attempt EV on Purple and have attacked him. Same reaction applies.

Scripio ducks under the giant chair legs and sprints forward to help out Sir Goodshanks. "For the Order!" He lashes the frost goblin with his whip, taking note that Norbwald's flickmace seems very whip-like.

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

For once since you've met him, Scripio is quiet as you see the goblins. He uncoils his whip, ready to put on his whippy show.

Map Link for convenience

Scripio steps up to the hinges and blows his nose into his hands, wiping them over the rust to try and quiet them. He motions to Bork, who might know how to do this better too.

Crafting: 1d20 ⇒ 19

"Do you know this Jadwiga's name? Maybe we can tell on her to her parents. Or knowing her name might give us power over her. Like we can make fun of it and hurt her feelings."

Can we do RK pre-emptively on all those creatures?

When von Clankstein introduces himself, Scripio stands at attention and salutes. "Scripio ze Whipper requests to join the Order!" He lowers his salute but remains at attention. "Scripio knows lots about Things That Probably Shouldn’t Work But Somehow Do!"

As if to demonstrate, the goblin hops up onto a chair to watch Torrsen explain their mission in Napsu Sign. "Queen Anastasia is new and not a Winter Witch! Many Jadwiga, who descend from the long line of previous winter witch queens, don't like her and think she's illegitimate, and want to break free!" He cracks his whip overhead and begins singing off key. "They want to break free! They want to break free!"

"But Jadwiga are descendants of Baba Yaga, the Queen of Witches (and major scary person), who make up the noble class of Irrisen. Queens rule for 100 years and, while in power, appoint their children and grandchildren to govern the country. When Baba Yaga herself installs a new queen, the descendants of the previous ruler must find new roles in Irrisen society...or go bye-bye!"

Welcome new goblin! Scripio will teach you the goblin ropes!

A crash causes everyone to turn suddenly to a goblin that's fallen to the floor. You look up and realize that he might have been trying to climb a set of bookshelves for some unknown reason. He hops up quickly cracking a whip overhead in a small room and yells, "Tada!"

The whip cracks again overhead. "Scripio is here to get this party started! Da-da-Da-da!" He cracks his whip in time with his singing until he realizes that no one else is dancing. He looks around and sees the dog staring at him. The goblin lowers his whip and seems to shrink away. "Sorry," he says, clearly to the husky Mahki.

Throwing Scripio into the ring for this one.

I also have a 0xp Monk that I could bring if we went lvl 1s.

Scripio shrinks back as Zarta storms in and demands answers. He hides his whip behind his back and whines, "It wasn't me! Night Hag being bad and made a mess! She brought fart creatures!"

I'll be traveling through the weekend and my posting will be irregular. Feel free to bot Scripio if needed.
