Sen Tarlpan's page

Sen moves to a point where he could attempt to establish stealth mid-fight.

stealth (sniping): 1d20 + 8 - 20 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 20 = 1

He continues to talk as he moves into position, however. "Hah! This guy! Reinforcements."

Sen, unneeded to fight the metal man further, will sheath both weapons and step 5 ft farther across the bridge. "I think I like this one. Fun vocabulary."

"I wish I had one of those light-em-up balls that explode. That'd be fun."

For when Sen is up:

Katana (twf flanks): 1d20 + 4 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 2 + 2 = 201d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 2 + (5) = 15
wak: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 1 + (2) = 9

No time for thinking!

Sen takes the initiative and moves around the metal man, readying to fight defensively at the end (for a valuable AC.)
katana (defense, flanks): 1d20 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 4 + 2 = 91d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Right behind him for future acrobatics.

I might be having cache issues again, but my map doesn't have anyone moved on it. I am unable to update the map until tomorrow when my data plan resets.

Sen will move behind the front line warrior, drawing Katana and wakazashi along the way.

1d20 ⇒ 3

"Hell of a lock they got on this." Sen notes, investigating said lock.

Sen shrugs at the forced destruction. "Weird, usually my bosses complain when I have to break junk they loan me. I figured it might'a had, like, a focusing chunk in it that had to jumble around or something."

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Oh, no. She's one of those 'I do these twenty exercises once a week, let me describe them all in detail uninterrupted RIGHT NOW' kind of women." 1 damage left, which I'm not worried about; thanks!

Sen doth protest the seemingly-random destruction of the lantern. "Uh, you think they'd give us a lantern that sounds broken if it's not supposed to be? Did I miss something at the briefing? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only time 'smash the stuff' and 'protection' mix are when the shopkeep comes up short on his dues, right?"

If nobody has anything by the time I'm home, the punishment is "Sen will talk to him."

13/23 HP

Sen gives the man his best oni face. "Two hits? I clearly need to catch up, you lowlife." Spending a ki for a bonus attack, which should stack as of the monk FAQ.

All attacks add in haste +1 and bard +1.
katana standard: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 121d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
katana (Haste): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
katana (ki): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 231d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Now if I could only remember Sen is a TWFer for more reasons than "Maximum Shuriken..."

An injured Sen moves (SE SE S E E) to pin down Red brigand, drawing katana along the way! If he proves to be "not threatening", Sen will try to stab!

Katana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

I think since they had a surprise, our diviner got a round in as well? Also, was it red that shot me? If so, what's their melee setup appear to be at a glance?

"Hey, eggheads: if I've ever dealt in codes and secret missives, and believe you me, I have, I'm sure the thing that doesn't mean a thing is probably something else entirely." Sen asks. "Anyone familiar enough with the region to unscramble the weird not-a-thing name into a place or a hint or something?"

"Otherwise, House Cartogon seems fine for our hunt."

So ensuring a few important crates aren't entirely nailed down right or snagging a mildly important key ring is within the realm of possibility with Disable Device and a Sleight of Hand? Rolling such, in case that is an option.

DD: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Sen resists the urge to show off his foreign tattoos and keeps an eye on any particularly attractive barmaids, particularly if the party's table is on their "focused circuit." He also continues the conversation. "Three-hunnert between six for what's probably a smash-and-grab? Not too bad." Sen shrugs, "Thieves tend to appear to have less than expected, after all."

Disclaimer: Sen was constructed after seeing (and buying then only actually reading half of) the least-warranted comic book in existence.

A Tien-Dan man of roughly 5'7" is dressed in loose-fitting cloth pants, heavy boots, and a vest without a shirt. On the back, a single character in Tien are embroidered, 刀. Notably, he is devoid of armor and prominently displays his abdominal region (which clearly gets a lot of attention in the workout regimen.) On his back, he carries a backpack of miscellaneous goods and a pair of blades of different lengths. Around his belt are stuffed a number of pointed pieces of metal, designed like a 4-pointed star.

Locals: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

"So, what you're saying we've got possibly got another Traitorous Lodgemaster situations on our hands, eh?" He looks to the sole female of the current party casually. "Yeah, there was a thing up north; some weird devil lodge thing. In was kind of a... vital part on takin' that down." The Tien man twists in a way that he's likely flexing, under the ruse of turning to face the paladin. "Name's Sen. You've probably heard of me."

Sen is my preferred choice anyways, because this group (at a from-mobile glance and making Archetype-guided assumptions) can actually Stealth as a group?!? Never had that before.

PFS number: 22357-8
Day Job roll: Jobs are for suckers.
Initiative modifier: +10
Perception modifier: +5

I, too, have honey-bunches of options for this level range. Many need some updating, though I'm home all week! If we need muscle, I hope Endless can attest to my Barbarian/Fighter/Alchemist's horrendous overcompensation of meat. I think I've got every major role beyond Buffmaster in-tier, if we look higher up.

And as an aside query to those who are probably keeping up with PF errata and new releases; Did Paizo ever release anything assessing the "There's no Extra Ninja Trick" problem? A brief Google turned up old news.

22357-6, no djob. Thanks for running!

Sen is disappointed at the lack of attention from wealthy, eastern women he attained, but gets over the feeling almost immediately.

will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 1623 - 6 = 17

Sen will attempt to climb the building where this ruckus is happening.

climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Assuming that fails and I still have another move action...
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Note: Readying outside of initiative is not a valid source of action, since usually such actions (like readying to swing a sword at someone) are the surprise round of combats. This also prevents people perpetually readying to attack assailants while walking through Absalom (and hilariously looking like frozen character models mid-swing).

Sen, after the initial volley, "That's is a bad one, I assume?" He reflexively announces his named attack before throwing a bunch of shuriken after stepping northeast

Maximum Star 1: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 2 = 21d2 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (6) + 1 = 10
Maximum Star 2: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 111d2 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (2) + 1 = 6
Maximum Star 3: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 01d2 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (4) + 1 = 8
Maximum Star 4: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 61d2 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (2) + 1 = 6
Maximum Star 5: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 11d2 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (3) + 1 = 7 2/3 ki used.

Included is PBS, sneak, and distance penalty. Also included are really bad rolls.

"Hey, last time I grabbed a gal like that, it cost me at least thirty gold pieces and a week behind bars." Sen whispers, then smirks at a thought. "Is that not illegal around here?"

percep to confirm the nutjobs' theory: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

"Ha, nice!" Sen lets out upon the cursing. He looks to Jaysin as she exits, "I've got 5 pieces she headbutts that Temal guy."

Sen will move southeast-east 1 square and continue east until he reaches the assassin! He draws both his katana and wakizashi, but only slashed with the larger for the moment!

katana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Seeing if the assassin can Uncannily Dodge things or if the zombs are already exploded decides my target, but the Living Cover to the assassin now simplifies my action.

Reroll!: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 2 = 19 *Shakes Fist* WHY HAVEN'T I REPORTED SKULL AND SHACKLES AND GOTTEN MY THIRD STAR YET!?!

Sen fails a first attempt, which (unless anyone else wants to try a reflex, which I think is a better shot statistically), he'll try again!

DD: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17 And frustration sets in! Ha, I'm just going to pause there.

"Never fully trusted anyone who considers themselves a 'holy' person," Sen notes with air quotes. "Everyone's got faults, but some seem to try to hide it behind a mask of religion."

Sen shrugs, though. "Either one is fine. Each sounds as suspicious as the last."

@Jonterra: I'm not sure either. I know you can't Stunning Fist with...

I know Iftrits can get a feat that allows their firey punch feat to function in a grapple, but that's only similar and vaguely remembered from my scrapped my "'Macho Man' Randy Savage, But On Fire" idea.

Sen swings twice again, hoping for better luck!

waka (flank, twf): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d6 + 1 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + (2) + 1 = 9

Fire is clearly better (and more effective) than Sen!

Sen will try to capitalize on the grossness that is the Pinned condition!

katana (twf, flanks?): 1d20 + 4 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 2 + 2 = 181d8 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (4) + 1 = 9

-Posted with Wayfinder

Hoping the grapple was successful, Sen steps up and hopes to make himself an even bigger threat! He draws his katana and wakizashi, but is only quick enough to swing with one!

katana (flank?, bless): 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 151d8 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + (5) + 1 = 16

You have a crit threat there, Sen.

Ha, yeah; I am posting from mobile and was halfway through adding in PBS when I realised I could just say "+1 to hit and damage" a lot faster.

GM, if you want a breakdown of my attack regiment, I can do so if desired. The short of it is "TWF+Rapid Shot+Flurry of Stars Ninja Talent"

will: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Sen resists whatever that stiffening feeling was and reacts to the body's unnatural awakening! He loudly (and proudly) announces something in Tien as he grabs handfuls of ninja stars from his belt and chucks them at the dead lady!

"Opening Gamble! Maximum Falling Star!"

Maximum Star 1: 1d20 ⇒ 131d2 + 2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (1) + 1 = 5

conf #3?: 1d20 ⇒ 201d2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Note: I forgot to add point-blank shot, and that's a lot of text to phone at for a simple +1 to-hit/damage. Though I'm also missing a distance penalty, since the map issues. 10-ft increment, no Far Shot.

Multiple people making individual checks gains Influence faster (and if its like Blakros Mat, it counts for YOUR benefit.) Sen won't be taking the lead, except his libido dictates. I know I read "3 daughters" somewhere, but I figure I'd just follow the first lead with my -1 Int knowledge local.

Sen will stick with Jaysin, "Yeah; I've spent some time in Taldor myself. Cassomir, to be more on the point, but still a good trade hub. Lotsa boats."

Kn (l) aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"Bunch'a undead, too. Plus, the prison there's full of wackos, but they've got a market of its own in it. Weird stuff."

The other thing I recall from the Blakros wedding is that these checks are usually hours in length, yes?

Planning on buying a pair of Invisibility Potions; nothing helps favor-doing like a +20 to stealth.

It depends what part of the dance, I believe. I mean, like, big, baggy, loose-cloth pants (like he has now.) They start with the tight, Hot Topic pants, iirc.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Sen specifically doesn't wear armor to show off his abdominal reagion (since he's basically a Tien rip-off of "The Situation".) I'm now horribly tempted to buy a Noble's Outfit that is basically a Chippendale's Uniform but with more pants, so he looks fancier but achieves the overall goal of being presentable (in his opinion.)

Pasad is a cool dude. I especially liked his house. Too bad he's not a faction mission 'influential'

"Right, don't let the ball and chain know." Sen ponders which of these names sound feminine, as "merchant" doesn't align with "social drinker" in his mentality, and that's just boring.

DM, if you could please, remove El Baron from current characters. Thanks!

"The whole idea of giving a gift for a dead guy is weird as it gets to me, honestly. In my circles, wealth tends to go from the dead to the living and not via celebration..." Sen shrugs, "I'm with Dwarfy; just pick one. They all look as regiftable as the last."

Was there ever a verdict about the "Taldor/Sarenrae illegality retcon discussion" that was going on?

A Tien-Dan man of roughly 5'7" is dressed in loose-fitting cloth pants, heavy boots, and a vest without a shirt (to accentuate his abdominal physique.) On the back of his vest is a single character in Tien, an embroidered, 刀. On his back, he carries a backpack of miscellaneous goods and a pair of blades of different lengths. Around his belt are stuffed a number of pointed pieces of metal, designed like a 4-pointed star.

Sen gives Ennoia a scan once over while she's distracted talking to old companions and passes a nod to Jaysin. Sen has little to add to the funerary discussion, though does introduce himself as "Sen, a master of many practical arts" and agrees with the dwarf's point of scenery. "I know, right? After Sheila Benchmark and Hestia Thermos last few escapades, I'm pumped to be given something nice instead of having it taking it away."

"Are all dwarves this dirty? I hope this one doesn't start crying when his Dwarfstick pops in the middle of a fight, or whatever."

For logistical purposes, I have a smattering of low tier characters that I have interest playing and Sen for a playing up option. I'm fancying getting Toshi actually played, but will build to fill.

A Tien man, wearing an open vest with the Tien character for "dagger" takes note. "A bunch of rich folks, carousing around a dead, rich person? Sounds easy enough. I can play nice; I'm game."
