Sigrid Leifdottir's page

Weee we did it!

My personal highpoint was probably the improvised pretend Eryines summoning using an altered poem from German history.

In hindsight, some martial Oracle would have fitted Sigrid better, to emphasize on beeing well, good at bluffing and going for hijinks, antics and shenanigians.

The scene of running away from the big evil antipaladin was also cool.

There is a bit of a mood swap from fighting these destroyer things to chatting with not leonardo da vinci.

Ideas:

--On the Empire base, have the party acquire an imperial intelligence assessment of the strengths, weaknesses and capabilities of the various enemies that the empire has, and whom the players could plausibly ally with.
--The intelligence assessment could be doctored by the party to get some "neutrals" on board by overhyping the threat the empire poses to them (there is a pretty good deep space night episode where Sisko and Dukat b!#@&%%* the Romulans into going to war with the Founders)

pewpewpew: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6
Sigrid lays down covering fire, being out of burst of radiance she prefer to keep the parties retreat open.

This would be before Agripos moves in

Sigrid aims the burst hoping to hit the dragon and not hit Alejandro, or any other ally
damage if evil: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 2) = 10
DC 16 reflex save or blinded for duration: 1d4 ⇒ 2 turns

init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Alejandro, Ar do ordú beidh mé soinneáin do sheasamh le pléasctha de radiance

She speaks in the language of the Kelts, and hopes to give her ally room to close his eyes before her blast strikes

Bit of luck for you! (roll twice within the next round)

Sigrid gently touches Alejandros shoulder.

--Added guidance on deities, although they dont seem to be that hard to make up on the spot.

--Atlantis getting blown up was very climatic

--Retraining is i think important here because acclimatizing to Atlantean weaponry etc.

--

channel energy: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9
Sigrid channels to heal the party. Should any Kobolds rise she motions them to the door through which their comrades retreated.

She then casts protection from evil communual on the party and makes ready to open the ddoor unless stopped.
You can almost sense that she takes the front as penance, in a way.

Praise Ran they saw reason, I hate slaughter.

Ran, vergib mir für die Leben die ich nahm,
vergib mir für die Türen die ich schloss,
und die Möglichkeiten die unmöglich geworden sind.

Ich bitte dich, gewähre denen deren Leben durch meine Hand genommen wurde Einlass in deine Hallen, so sie dies wünschen,
oder schmuggele Sie dorthin wohin sie wollen.

She kneels in prayer, saying something in Germanic.

Sigrid nods and not longer aims at a Kobold.

You have fought bravely and may retreat She says with some visible relief.

Sigrid steps back 5 feet and opens on the Kobold leader from her rifle.

pew pew pew divine favor: 1d20 + 3 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 3 + 3 = 20
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Maybe the yield once their leaders are taken out, Ran does not favor mass murder

Sorry for not posting more, I feel kind of bad about killing all these Kobolds, who, from their perspective, are just defending their land, I will probably express this in character once combat is over.

Sigrid is unwilling to spend her bursts of radiance, approaches and strikes another Kobold

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
damage: 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

damage if evil: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 3) = 15
DC16 will save or be blinded for duration: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Burst of radiance

After 5 foot stepping back, the cleric aims at their leadership, perhaps unwilling to outright murder many of the common Kobolds.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Bugger this She snarls as she is actually getting hit by Kobolds

Behold Ran's radiant Abs!

Burst of radiance will add template to roll 20.

Sigrid starts slashing as well, her Bardiche
bardiche power attack: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 3 + 3 + 1 - 2 = 26
damage: 1d10 + 4 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 + 6 = 14

that armor sure packs a punch She remarks as she presumably bisects a Kobold

fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

I would rather save my burst of radiance for the actual dragon.

So much for surprise thinks Sigrid as she pretends to do nothing, while actually readying an action to cast divine favor on herself.

climb DC5 : 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 1 = 11 I got this
climb DC 10: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 1 = 5 Verdammter Mist, ich und klettern ist wie betrunkene Wildschweine und langsame Tänze

Sigrid swears a bit as her descent is comparable to the antics of a happily drunk boar.

Understood, following your lead at a distance

Sigrid says, not wishing to upsets Alejandros stealth with her relatively clangyness.

I am getting a bit owned by allergies right now.

I have my boots of "no GM" so lets go nuts

Sigrid shops for some Stagger proof boots

Stagger proof boots: 1d100 ⇒ 1

And happily pays the cost of 2000 gold. These items seem to be rather common, as they are apparently close to standard issue for riflemen, who often fire from prone and change positions rapidly.

She then waits until the morning,

Sigrid prays to Ran (I dont actually have Augury yet) for crypic hints about what she can do to prepare for the following battle.

Hmm, I wonder if this net could be made conductant, and then be utilized to deliver touch based magiks, not that I currently have a lot of them! Your inventiveness does you credit!

Sigrid is impressed.

Yeap, can we setup some type of distraction? Or do we try to go in full sneaky?

Hmm, let me think. Sadly I have no magical means of making us stealthier. Have the Kobolds been participating in raids? What is known of their tactics? Only a fool invades without knowledge, or not takes serious creatures just because of their size.

Sigrid offers.

Lets see if I can make the best and most plausible case for trial by combat

Our insistence on trial by combat, which as a matter of fact are less brutal then you may think, after all most such trials end with one side yielding in a wounded state rather then in death, is in part a deterrent to frivolous lawsuits.
In addition, if one makes suit, one needs to put ones own skin into the game so to speak.
Plenty of provisions are made for lawsuits by and against people who are combat incapable, and, if a case is seen as just, they may find it very easy to avail themselfs of the services of a champion who is willing to take up arms for them in the legal matter at hand. Sigrid recounts her tribes justice system, which she deems to be the least bad justice system she knows off.

The goal of our justice system is to prevent fracticidal civil wars, it does so in part by reducing a quarrel that could spark a civil war, and in which casulties could easily be in the thousands, into a duel where the maximum number of casulties is 2. I also wonder as to how bloodless verdicts against one party are actually to be enforced? If a party to a quarrel loses in a trial by combat, then they have seen that the victorious sides mettle exceeds theirs, and will likely abey terms. If one side loses, be it based on legal arguments or based on the judge being bribed, would they not be far more likely to resort to arms in the face of a hostile verdict, thus ensuring a civil war?

You may call me Sigrid. Wigs are a somewhat unusual concept for my people. And our lawyering frequently gets down to trial by combat, where detachable hairdos would be of limited utility. She replies to Mr. Adamson.

If we find its lair, we may be able to force it into a fight in a barell so to speak, where it cannot avail itself of its mobility advantadge. I fully agree that a ranged engagement would be folly.
I can increase 2ishpeoples protection from acid, but seeking to blind it may well be more effective. Sigri offers.

Agreed. What is the dragons color btw? Size? Wingspan? Any witnesses we can interview? Information saves lives. Sigrid asks.

Aid another diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

As well as giving other aid to those stricken by wounds. As far as the slaying goes, no dragons yet. I did however save some daring gentlemen in dire straits. But it would be churlish of me to elaborate too much of the specifics.

She says with a smile that doesnt quite reach her eyes.

The poor schmuck I fake sacrificied will remember me for the rest of his life. Wonder if he is alive still. Still I should be carefull to not give away too much to this Gnome, I wonder what his deal is?

sense motive on gnomes intentions: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

I am a big fan of stagger proof boots, but I dont think any of use got money, unless we want to sell the extra armors on the free market, which seems like a rather dubious idea. Sigrid cautions.

Cookie, do you have like, prepared protocols for how to contact the alliance? She asks.

Actual report:
BAB Fort and Will +1
+11 hp (she is a chunky lady due to always max hp lel)
Some new spells (grabbed burst of radiance as a blas option, no idea if the imperials are actually evil in terms of rank and file, probably plenty of neutrals)

Raised the obvious skills a bit higher. Cleric skill points sadface :).

Ah f@+& it, Deadly aim Improved init it is.

Debating heavily on feat choice :).

survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

S*&~, looks like a loss. The cannon over there is salvagable

Well f#@!. What are these non-wooly mammoth things? Sigrid pauses

Lokis f+%%ing mare bugger my lovelife... Her swearing fails her....

Lets check for survivors, perhaps we can help, somehow!

Surturs flaming balls, I kind of doubt thats the last we have seen of these "devourers" though. She pauses

It is a job well done, and drinks are on me once we reach a bar.

She says with a wide grin.

Anyone still wounded?

Profession is wis based so technically

profession sailor untrained aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Sigrid aids as well, basically extrapolating from what cookie and agripos are doing to what she needs to be doing.

Laying down covering fire!

pewpewpew: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 = 23
damage: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Sigrid gets in a pretty good shot an one of the injured riders.

Jävla helvete Qlippoth under helvete med mitt kärleksliv
::F@**ing hell Qlippoths beneath bugger my lovelife::

channel: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

Sigrids creative swearing apparently pleases Ran, and the party including cookie and excluding any foes within reach is healed considerably.

Alexandra rapidly moves onto cookies assailant and opens fire on him shooting at cookies assailant: 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 3 = 15
damage: 1d10 ⇒ 5

She tries shooting the bird, hopeing to cause a crash.

Was sure I posted, weird

boom: 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 3 = 23
damage: 1d10 ⇒ 7

Sigrid gets in a reasonable hit.

APPROACH She commands one of the riders, hoping to force it into their position.

DC 15 will save.

Oh right, on it! She pauses

I dont actually have stuff I can shoot and cast light spells on anymore I think (I dont think I can do that on a rifle because they are weird bio things?), Gheorix, can you ready a slingshot?

I f@**ing wish I had access to actual illusion spells. Blowing it up is not part of my capabilities sadly.

We have saved hostages, exfiltrated key equipment for analysis and reproduction, and we are not getting paid for murking the entire garrison, which I dont think we can do. If we can extract without being seen it would be great.

I can probably delay them a fair bit, and then use the armors mobility. Shooting them when they cant see me essentially. If they dim their lights, I will cast a light spell ahead of them, and then bugger off, while they will be hesiant to walk into an obvious place for them to get shot at.

selective channel excluding the 2 devourers: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10
Lady Luck close our wounds
Sigrid offers a quick prayer

Lets keep going, smiths, stick with me smiths if endangered.

Lets see if I can get a whack in myself!

Sigrid, assessing the party to be in reasonable shape, accepts the rage for this turn and strikes!

attack bardiche power attack: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 4 + 1 - 1 = 23
damage: 1d10 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 = 12

No spirit slam because they dont have reach

Great Strike Gheorix!

Sigrid shouts as she can now move behind Alejandro to heal his wounds as well. Converting her surpress disease spell for this.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3) + 3 = 8 Bleh

I am down 8 hp from the first fight, an at 38/46

S@+*! Sigrid winces as Alejandro take a heavy hit.

If you can take down the wounded foe I can heal Alejandro back up!

I dont see a way for me to heal him without casting defensively, but if the other bug dies it gets easy.

Sigrid 5 foot steps behind gheorix (giving her cover because Gheorix is in the way) and converts her Aid spell into a cure moderate wounds

cure moderate wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 8) + 3 = 17
