Shix Firley's page

Shix looks to Juwwem, a little confused. "You mean you can't do that? I always assumed it was one of those gnome powers. You know like a natural adaptation so we can reach the spices on the top shelf and other important stuff."

Shix then gives the key to Vivian, after which turning around just in time to see Najara dive under the wagon and a bunch of light. "Wait Najara, did I hear you say that you have wings? I don't see any....do all humans have wings? I'm pretty sure they don't...I'm pretty sure that's something I would have noticed, and more importantly; If you had them this entire time why did I have to climb that bloody tree?

Perception cart 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
perception tree 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

ME!? Climb up there?! Hahahehehohoho. Who's ever heard of a gnome climbing trees? Your hilarious Najara. A real jokester. ha..ha.....ha..... After seeing Najara's long cold stare Shix lets out a long sigh and begins his ascent.

Climb: 1d20 ⇒ 15
If he gets within 25 feet of the key he uses mage hand to grab it and lower it to him.

how high is the tree to the top.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"huh......OW!! That was rude and completely unnecessary Miss Najara, if you wanted a midnight snack all you needed to do was ask."Shix says rubbing his ribs and rummaging through his pack for something to sate the Inquisitors obviously voracious hunger.

AOO: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

attack w/dagger: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Seeing the two flambe'd kolbolds running away Shix yells YA! AND DON'T COME BACK! He then looks for any others within range (20ft) and if there is one he moves in and attacks them, if there are none he double moves to the aid of his nearest ally.

Shix moves to where he thinks he can hit more than one of them with his 'Shix's Burning Hands' (tm)

Shix's Burning Hands (tm) 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6 Reflex save DC:16 for half.

If Shix is within 30 feet of a Kobold he will fire an elemental ray at it. If not then he will move up to 20 feet closer until he is close enough. If 20 feet isn't enough then he double moves.
Ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Are any of them close enough together for say a burning hands (15ft cone)?

lets just say I finished taking them......:(

OW!...OH NO, there after my recipes!
Shix draws his dagger and casts mage armor on himself. +4 ac bonus

Sorry about the lack of posts as of late. I just got done with my finals, whew.

Proff cook:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Oh, I've heard that yellow ants can be made into a most delicious paste. If seasoned correctly."

Shix then runs towards the ants and attempts to gather some.

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

Shix watches the sun set as he leads the animals after the trackers.

"I don't know about you all but I'm getting pretty tired, and it can't be easy to follow tracks in the dark so I propose we set up camp and rest here for the night."

We should be wary who we talk to about this, specifically Jesse and Franco. They may seem trustworthy now, but I've seen better men kill for less.

"OH! OH! I'll go! I'll go!" Shix says as he comes running towards the cave.

After rummaging through his backpack for a moment he looks up to Gordom and says "You wouldn't happen to have a torch would you?"

Shix is unusually quiet as his eyes and head dart about every which way.

I agree with Juwewem about keeping a distance and I volunteer to guide the cart

following Gordom, who's tracking the mites

In an effort to not clog up the game play thread with uninteresting rhetoric and to move us along I would like to propose this plan:

1. We pack everything up in the cart. (including Jesse)
B. We leave immediately so we can effectively track down the mites.
#. Then we haul everything back to Oleg's so we can bask in our "phat loots" and decide what we do with Jesse/Franco on a more permanent basis.

awwww, I was gettin all excited about not needing sleep.

We have some rope and a cart don't we?

YOU DON'T SPLIT THE PARTY! I say we go now and hope it takes more than a day to get there.

sounds good to me.

Shix looks up from his cooking pot "While what we all need is a good rest, we really need to find those mites before their trail goes cold and I really don't like the idea of one or two of us going out on their own, so logically we should go now....well after lunch."

Shix then excuses himself a few feet into the wood where he promptly hacks up some bile that made its way into his throat, being a voice of reason doesn't suit him.

Finding this whole interrogation thing to be a bit boring, Shix has been wandering around the camp grabbing various leaves and roots he finds and throwing them in his cooking pot. (he smells them first to make sure they.......smell edible)

Profession cook: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

With the various scraps and things he pulled from his pack he's currently making a stew over by the fire pit.

Hey as for using a cart, isn't there one at the bandit camp? Or at least there's one pictured in the map.

"Is it just me or can anyone ever understand what that guy says?" Shix says while looking at Juwwem.

Shix then tells everyone what he knows about mites, and everything he knows about the culinary preparation of vermin.

What would be the knowledge DC for recognizing Mites?

I always thought of myself as something of a *cough*cult*cough* leader.

Shix will move south 15 feet to take a look to make sure she ain't movin.
Confirming this he turns to the bandit in the tree and launches a ray of fire.
"TAKE THIS YOU DIRTY LONGPIG!!"
Elemental ray: ranged touch.1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
crit. confirmation. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

finally hit something!

Shix ignores the pain of his new knife wound and moves after her.
1 square east then 2 squares southeast.

Once catching sight of her he lets loose an elemental ray of fire.
Elemental Ray1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

But as he raises his arm to aim, he uses his injured one and the pain makes him miss.

If I don't post, Shix will try to move to catch multiple enemies in a burning hands, if he can't do that he'll use his elemental ray.

Seeing Najara take a sword to the gut didn't sit well with Shix, but that bandits dead now so there's no point in venting on him.

Perception 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Seeing a glimpse of something moving on the other side of the trees Shix chases after it.

double moving east through the tree/bush stuff

"USELESS PIECE OF GOBLIN SNOUT!" Shix yells as he tosses the bow behind him.

"AND THE BOW IS NONE TOO USEFUL EITHER!" Shix says as he turns to the unlucky man who fired the bow at him. He then conjures up the raw fire within him and launches it at him.

Elemental Ray: ranged touch1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
failure chance: (1 is failure) 1d5 ⇒ 4

After he fires and misses Shix will move 2 spaces diagonally down and left then one space down.

Just as well Gordom, I cant even hit a bloody corpse with this thing...

"Oh what a tasty looking fish, no not now need to focus, oh what a beiutiful looking stone, wait isnt that a... "oh dear...."

Fort save 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"YOU CALL THAT A THUNDERSTONE!?! I'VE MADE LOUDER POPS COOKING EGGS!"

Shix will pull out his scavenged bow and let fly an arrow at "George".

Bow 1d20 + 3 - 6 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 6 = 3 Damage 1d6 ⇒ 6

Shix will move with Najara. That is to say right behind her.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Can't quite remember, did we ever take time to rest/replenish our spells?

Shix will pick up one of the bows, then grab an arrow, knock it, then let it fly into a tree 10 feet away.

bow 1d20 + 2 - 10 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 10 = 7 1d6 ⇒ 3
The arrow looks a little wobbly as it fly's but it does hit the tree and scratches its bark a bit.

"hmm much better than I had hoped"

He then grabs a quiver, and gets back in the previous marching line.

Stealth 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

check them for loot?!?! who do you think we are savages?!

Shix continues to the bandits lookout and checks to make sure they are all dead. (or more accurately to see if any are alive)

Heal 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Then he will ruthlessly scour their corpses for loose pocket change and other valuables. ;)

Shix will continue his sneakiness towards the bandits.
Stealth 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Shix will attempt to sneak from where he is now to another tree 20 feet closer. If there isn't one, just sneaking will be fine.

Stealth 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Shix focuses his inner fire into the palm of his hand, then throws it at one of the bandits with a bow.

Produce Flame, ranged touch:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 crit confirmation 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

After he sees his ball of fire connect, Shix tries to get behind the nearest tree. Then yells "You know its rude to shoot people with arrows unprovoked!"

Shix would prefer to be somewhere in the middle, other than that he doesn't care.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

"Well if they are going to be eaten anyway..... Shix is stopped short by Gordom's poisonous glare.

Fort save vs poison: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

"huh, wuh..... are we here already?" Shix is a little groggy after the long trip. He was nodding off for a while near the end. He turns around to Vivian and says," Thank you for sharing your horse with me, and thank you for being a very comfortable mattress to sleep on"

After a few stretches he seems to liven up a bit. "So were on foot from here eh, are we to leave the horses here or walk them behind us? An any case I need to get off of this thing....(Shix looks off one side then the other)... miss Vivian would you be so kind as to help me off please?"

Just what are you insinuating? O_o

Shix likes sleep, in fact Shix is contemplating curling up next to Vivian and napping on her.

" I would prefer to sit in front of you Miss Vivian, I don't want to be slipping off the rear of this thing. Hmm, Horseradish soup you say..... great idea Miss Vivian. If we roast the horse first with some Paracress leaves over a low fire first, then put it in the radish soup that very well may work. Oh who am I kidding, I will make it work, but which cut to use..." Shix then starts feeling around the horse in front of him to see which would be the tastiest part.

For a while Shix says nothing. He just sits by the door looking at the bodies. He isn't really listening to the others discussion Until finally he sees Svetlana's face next to his asking about moon radishes."....moon radish....soup?" He says slowly.
"I've never heard of such a plant before, I would love to get some for you. What does it look like?, smell like?, taste like?, sound like?, in what areas does it typically grow? Do they only grow in this region?" As Shix asks these questions he pulls out his notebook and quill and writes down everything Svetlana tells him about the Moon Radish.

After he gets all that information he goes to the stable and starts packing all his stuff onto one of the horses.....well he tries to but he can't reach. He looks over to Gordom and asks [b]"Can I get a little help over here please? I can't quite reach the top of this beast......maybe I could ride with one of you tall folk?" Shix then looks over to Vivian, giving her his best "puppy dog eyes."
