Shasta Ananda's page

- Docks can get really nasty in a short moment. Don't hesitate to hide behind me, if they do.

Shasta checks his spear.

- Could be a person with some kind of dark gift for shapechanging. I have seen magic like that.

- I will see to that.
Shasta walked over to the little boy to help him.

-Don't be afraid, little man. I will help you with your bruises.
Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

- There you go, much better. Be the Dreamer's blessing with you.

- People like you! I spit in your face.
Shasta took a step forward, made a show out of clearing his throat and thrust his spear aiming to hit the enemy that attacked Keelee.

5-ft step, move action to get 'Bodyguard' feat (use AoO to make aid another on allies to give AC bonus) and standart action to try to trip the blue guy.

trip with spear, blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
The explanation is enough for Shasta Ananda, who never had any previous business with a sphinx.

- Allright, I belive you. But maybe you have noticed some new unusual people on the carnival grounds? Do you have any enemies among the actors?

Do they look similar to the broken vials we found before?

-Watch out now, pathfinders. We could be easily ambushed in this maze.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Shasta helps Keelee with the tracks.

Survival, aid another: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

But to no awail.

It seems you came to the same conclusion.

- Allright, once again a vial. Could you please check what was in it.

Shasta shows the vials he found to the rest of the group.

Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Shasta kneels near the body to examine itm but he is much more occupied with looking around for clues.

- Good.

Sorry, I was absent. I caught up with the plot, so the green hulk is back.

I am back. Sorry I was absent for this long. Could anyone sum up, what we kearned already?

- Alllright, lets look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

- He will be avenged, I can assure you of that.

- Who are this Szarni you mentioned?

- Yes, let's start with that.

- I bet she wants to hire outsiders to help the investigation. Local lawmen might prove to be as prejudiced as the rest of the flock.

- Allright. Let's hear what she has to say.

Shasta tries hard to hide his disapointment.
- It's allright. It's never the easy way, is it? The man worked with the Society and had something valuable. He gets killed the day we are supposed to meet. Coincidence? I doubt it.

Shasta calls Madame Iridestine and Philty away to a quiter corner of the fair and shows them a piece of glass, that he mistook for a brooch first.

- Here's what I found there. Looks like a piece of a potion vial. Probably gpt smashed in the brawl. Could you take a look, maybe magic it up a bit, and tell me what it was. Might be a clue.

- Somebody killed a loan-shark and you are blaming the outsiders? I think it was someone local who didn't want to pay back.

If Keelee's distraction works, Shasta makes a grab.

Sleight of hand: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

- We are free agents, doing things here and there. Hoped to get a nice rest at the fair, mister.

Ignoring the pouring questions, Shasta kneels down and digs out the brooch.
Can I reach it?

- This is very suspicious. Agents, keep your eyes open for any clues. By the way, have you seen any people with glass brooches around?

- Hm... So much violence for a burglary? Did they take his wallet?

I will wait for the PM to get more details.

- A riddle so soon. I hoped we would get to see the Sphinx first.

Shasta tries to catch the boy.
- What happened, youngling?

Shasta also checks Keelee and seems concerned.
- You got the worst of it. Definitely see a cleric. But if anyone is proficient with divine impements I have this wand here.

I have a CLW wand, if anybody can use that.

- And let's remember our main task here. It is not a recreation trip, we are on a mission from the Venture Captain.

Shasta cries to the elephant man.
- Hand me a rope! I will tie it down, while it is weakened.

Grapple, attempt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Have I seen this elephant man before?
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

- Use the blunt end of the spear!

Shasta switches his stance, hunches his back and leaps at the dragon, trying to grapple and subdue the beast.

Martial flexibility to get Improved Grapple, then try to grapple the beast.

Grapple attempt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

//Round 1

- What in the seven hells! Keelee, hold on, we are coming!
Shasta runs towards the dragon.

Shasta is running, no DEX to AC. FF AC = 15

I have already moved on the map, but if the disposition changes, I will change the position accordingly.

Shasta applauds Ayla.
- My congratulations, Diva. The King appaluds. You have a great eye for detail. That is commendable.

Shasta will go straight for the Lair of the Sphinx.

At the Zoo.
- Interesting animals. But not very impressive I am afraid. That manticore actually looks sick.

At The Lovely Madame Masque show
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Nope!

- I want to check the Zoo first and then I will accompany you to the Silver Sphynx Show. I hope to catch the Madame Masque performance, but don't count on it. Ayla, that was a good strike. I can pay for you at the Zoo, if you want? After all I am the king tonight.

Shasta adjusts the crown on his head.

- Well, that's fate for you Madame Iridestine. Sometimes you can't do it yourself, but you can show the way to others. Congratulations, Philthy!

Shasta grabbed the mallet and assesed the pole.
- Power and passion, you say. Good, I have both.
He took a deep breath and then gave out a loud cry.
- Kiai!
He dropped the mallet and the ball surged upward.
Strength check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Let's do this! Shasta will do the lion lever, the ball game and the shortbow copetition.

- On the other hand, this might be a good training! Dibs on the lion lever event!

- I wonder if there are any pugilist teachers in the crowd. Would sure enjoy a bout of friendly fisticuffs.

Ananda looked at the other agents.
- But probably it would be better to stick together. Does anybody here have much combat experience?

- Allright, I will join you in the tavern then. First I will go find a Desna temple. I wanted to visit it after the journey, give a short prayer.

Is there a local Desna temple?
Knowledge(local): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Trying to gather some information about the local Aspis activity.
Diplomacy(gather information): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11

- Madame, I would we happy to discover my future. By I would prefer to learn it the long way, as our lady Desna teaches us to.

Shasta bowed to Captain Heidmarch.

- Let's move out.

- Have I been so late that you are already talking pholosophy? Could anyone give me a short summary of the mission ahead, please?

I am back, I will fill the stats today as well. Let's rock.

A tall man, clad in very fine scalemail hastily enters the room. When he removes his cloak in becomes obvious that it is not a calemail, but real scales. The newcomer is a nagaji.

- Good day, Captain Heidmarsh. I am very sorry for my late arrival, I hope you will forgive me.

He makes a short bow to all the agents in the room.
- My name is Shasta Ananda, humble hingu shao of the Northern school. Pleased to met you.

Hello, everybody. I want to enlist this character, brawler 2 into the adventure. If you think I should roll a fresh one, I could that as well.
