Skarlit Begonia's page

For some reason I've got my mind set on a Champion with the Vigilante archetype. Would that work as the archetype is set up? That is, are the Vigilante's dual identities set up in a way that would create an alignment issue for the Champion?

Also, would it be a good fit, just in terms of abilities, for a melee champion?

Thanks Qstor but it looks like that table already had someone hop in. It looks like Heroes of Highdelve and Grotto of the Deluged God Table 2 are left.

Wounded Wisp (Part of Gameday VIII) - (GM Cwethan took over)

Heroes of Highdelve (Part of Gameday VIII)

The Stolen Heir (Has not started; looks to be awaiting more players)

Salvation of Sages (Final Fight) (GM Supervillan took over)

Grotto of the Deluged God Table 1 (Just started) (Disbanded)

Grotto of the Deluged God Table 2 (Just started)

GM Tyranius, I'm part of the now disbanded Grotto of the Deluged God Table 1. When you get a chance, would you mind marking it inactive for us? Thanks!

Yeah, I agree as well that it makes the most sense to just let this game drop. Hope things work out for Noral and look forward to seeing you all in other games at some point.

A rather frivolous looking woman comes rushing up, wearing a massive hoop skirt and brushing long strands of leaves out of her eyes. "I'm soooo sorry to be late, dearies, but wouldn't you know that the beauty parlor was just packed and then I only just made it to lunch in the nick of time and then of course our table wasn't ready and well really it was too dreadful to even discuss but then there I go again just talking up a storm and I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Skarlit Begonia and my doctor told me that I should really try for a bit of a change of scenery and so wouldn't you know it, I just up and signed up for this here Pathfindering, which does sound like the most exciting sort of scavenger hunt one could imagine, don't you think? though it's true that the other ladies at the club were besides themselves when I told them, but then you know, that's just me, always up to one sort of a thing or another and anyway, as I told them, what could possibly go wrong?!?" She pauses to catch her breath and spritz herself with a spray bottle of water with many small bubbles in it. She smiles as the droplets of water moisturize her green skin, and she cranes her neck joyfully towards the sun before asking, "So, where are we going?"

My apologies for being so slow to get leveled up - hope I haven't delayed anything.

Hi everyone,
I'll be bringing a Vigilante 2 - I still need to get her leveled up - I'll try to do so as soon as I can.

Thanks for running, GM!

As far as I know, you can assist one another for JFC goals. Unless it is pointed out somewhere saying you can not.

That's been my understanding as well. Skarlit will attempt to aid Cassiopia with Bluff.

Skarlit is also interested in the same (Sovereign Court) faction goal. Can one of us roll and the other aid for both of us to achieve the goal (Skarlit's bonus is only +2 so she may be better suited to aiding?)? Or do we both need to roll separately?

@GM, just a reminder of this boon that I mentioned earlier since it seems like it's probably relevant for this fight.

The Tulip moves forward, drawing her bow as she does, and then fires an arrow at White.

Comp Shortbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
arrow: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Just to clarify, is it a new day or still on the same day as the earlier action?

After the Tulip emerged from the water dripping wet and blushing deep green over her failed efforts at espionage, she retreated to the nearest ladies room to freshen up (i.e. put her armor back on). She still has not returned, but the fairest leshy debutante of last year's cotillion, Skarlit Begonia, comes strolling up the gangplank to join Sadaf, twirling a large umbrella over herself to keep the sun from bleaching her impressive gown.

"Well isn't this the cutest little boat you ever did see! Sadaf, you were not lying when you told me that you were a merchant of great renown who knows everyone who is worth knowing! And who are these fine people? Friends of yours? Well, I do believe that I am quite charmed to meet you. Skarlit. Skarlit Begonia. That's the name. I don't come to the docks often, but now that I see how fascinating, just fascinating, it is, well you can be sure I'll be a regular visitor! Now, I don't suppose I could trouble you for a spot of tea? I do hate it when my roots start to dry out... Don't you?"

Diplomacy, aid, social grace: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

On family vacation through Saturday, June 1. Will post when I can but please bot me as needed.

Skarlit positively jumps up and down. "Dragonbite, dragonbite! The sewers will be so wretched!"

When Sadaf leaves to find a town guard, he is soon joined by Skarlit, who has returned from her long visit to the facilities. The Twisted Tulip is nowhere to be seen.

Skarlit echoes Sadaf's commentary, while peppering it with name dropping and other allusions to her connections in high society, in case the guard has any doubts about the importance of listening to such important people. "Well, it has been lovely chatting with you and you can be sure that I'll be putting in a good word for you the next time I see the High Chamberpotlain's wife's cousin's accountant at my canasta game!"

Auto-aid using Diplomacy, or if aiding is not allowed due to it being a separate skill, then just rolling a straight Diplomacy check:

Diplomacy, Social Grace: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Fyi, traveling until Sunday night and I forgot my charger. May or may not be able to post. Please bot me as needed.

Skarlit (still in her social identity) quails inwardly when she sees the venue, before plastering her best debutante smile on. "I'll have a tall glass of your finest sparkling water. On the rocks, if you don't mind. And with a twist of bacon too." She then embarks on a dazzling demonstration of witty repartee, alternating flattering the bartender and then the assistant, all the while batting her leafy tendrils most coquettishly. Finally, she laughs uproariously at anything that either of them says that could possibly be interpreted as a joke, and pats the bar with her fronds. "Oh me oh my, I can't believe I've never been in your establishment before! I'm going to be sure to write you up in Gyelp and give you an amazing review! All my friends will be coming here soon, you can be sure of that, though I do wonder if you don't want a bit of my advice about those curtains..."

Diplomacy, social grace: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 Lol! I guess this isn't a plant-person kind of a bar!

Skarlit turns green(er) when the boat sets sail and at first is positively insistent that they return to dry land 'this instant!' but eventually the ocean breeze perks her up. By the end of the journey she is dangling her tendrils in the boat's wake and remarking to anyone who will listen how deliciously refreshing the salt water tastes.

Skarlit is amenable to trying any of Magali's tasks, but since the last of them - Laszo the alchemist - likely involves a trip to the sewers, she advocates for either of the first two jobs instead. "I couldn't possibly take this gown down into the filthy sewers - it would be ruined!"

Skarlit blushes with embarrassment. "Oh my, surely you don't think I've filled my little head with such esoteric knowledge! It's all I can do to recall my social calendar! But perhaps some of my friends might know something."

Also doesn't have Knowledge (Local). If Diplomacy (Gather Information) is permitted: Diplomacy, Social Grace: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Also, GM, if I can make any purchases before we go, Skarlit will purchase an antiplague and an antitoxin, for 50 gp each.

Re the Consortium Compact, one of my PCs has the following

Skarlit Begonia is once again immaculately coiffed and wearing another hoop skirt - lavender this time - when she reunites with her Pathfinder companions. "Oh my, how lovely to see you all again! Wasn't that a droll little outing we had the other day? Though I must say that wandering through the forest didn't agree with me at all - the plants there are so, so, uncivilized! I do hope that the next meeting of our book club can be held in more hospitable accommodations..." She trails off as she sees that the group has arrived at the docks and she gasps with alarm. "Why, this is no place for a lady such as myself! I simply cannot believe that a well known gentleman such as Ambrus Valsin would besmirch our reputations by holding our mahjongg game here! Is he onboard? I'll give him a piece of my mind!" With that, she bustles aboard, her skirt swishing and swaying in every direction, and her complaints uttered so loudly that every dock worker in Absalom will have heard them.

Once aboard, she calms down a bit and busies herself with preparing the tea party, but grows even more alarmed than before when Valsin delivers his briefing. "Do you mean that you want us to engage with a known criminal, and commit crimes on their behalf, in order to secure a supply of drugs!?!" She gasps, and then gasps again, and for a brief moment it appears that she may be about to hyperventilate, before she turns her fronds towards the sun, which seems to help her relax, at least marginally. "Well this certainly seems a very dubious business, you can be sure, scandalous even, though..." she pauses for a moment as if in thought, "... though the gossip and tales to be had will be simply delicious. And if we actually stop the spread of this drug epidemic - why Marjorie at the club would be so green with envy - I mean of course we're all green already, but it's just a figure of speech, don't you know, and an odd one now that I think about it, but then that's all well and good. All right then, Major Captain Valsin, Skarlit Begonia, society debutante, reporting for duty. Infiltrate this Asspiss organization and make a lot of trouble for them - well, I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong!?!"

Skarlit, your chronicle sheet has been updated to reflect the change.

Looks great - thanks, GM!

CHRONICLES

Let me know if I need to make any changes or not.

Thanks for running, GM!

One correction for Skarlit's chronicle: she only had 1 xp going into this, not 2, so she should have 2 xp at the end of this adventure. Sorry if that was my mistake earlier on.

Somehow, when the group returns to Absalom the Twisted Tulip is nowhere to be found. But, before anyone has a chance to grow too alarmed, Skarlit Begonia reappears. "Terribly sorry to be indisposed for so long! Must have been something I ate that didn't agree with me. Those camping rations were simply dreadful, I'm sure you'll agree!" She bats her leshy eyelashes coquettishly before continuing, "I saw that masked hero, the Twisted Tulip, running off just as I was coming in. I hope she hasn't gotten mixed up in all this - she's trouble, no doubt about it!"

Thanks for running, GM!

Skarlit would like to spend 1 prestige point to check a box on her faction journal card in lieu of her downtime "Forgo your downtime to reinforce your political connections. Doing so requires a successful Knowledge (Local) or Knowledge (Nobility) check with a DC equal to 15+ your level"

I would also like to continue and I have also never played the Consortium Compact!

Since I will have very limited posting access until Monday, just posting this now:

The Tulip will draw her bow and take aim at whichever of the kobolds presents a better target.

Composite Short Bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
20% miss chance, high is good for me: 1d100 ⇒ 65

She will continue to do the same in the following rounds as needed.

I will have erratic posting access Wednesday-Sunday. Please bot me as needed.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2
The Tulip suspects that the Gillman is actually an Ifrit disguised as an Oread disguised as a Gillman.

When the man speaks of listening to the flow of the water, the Tulip cocks her head and listens intently, hoping that she too can learn some of the wisdom of Aroden.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

The Tulip simply climbs down into the pit, like the climbing vine she is.

Climb check is an 18.

Skarlit takes the potion of barkskin, noting that her skin is already rather bark-like.

Before the group leaves, Skarlit heeds Janira's instruction and purchases some ink and parchment for taking notes.

During the journey... When mealtime arrives, Skarlit watches with silent dismay if any of her comrades are eating salads or any other vegetarian dishes, and as soon as the opportunity presents itself, she praises the ecological and health benefits of an all-meat diet. When the group beds down, Skarlit is rather disturbed to discover how 'rustic' the accommodations are. In particular, she simply cannot believe that the Absalom authorities have not created a network of well maintained restrooms along the way and she sniffs disdainfully at the suggestion that she go into the woods, resolving to simply wait until they return to Absalom.

When the swarm of snakes appear... Skarlit shrieks with alarm at the snakes, leaping onto a stump and holding her hoop skirt, as if that would somehow protect her. She is still shrieking when the last of the snakes is vanquished.

Looking down at her now-soiled skirt, she mutters something about needing a good laundry service and excuses herself to attend to "some personal needs."

I have both played and run this, so I will take a back seat for anything that would involve spoilers.

Skarlit laughs cheerfully at Gervase's compliment before turning her attention to Janira. "An adventure by the light of the full moon! How lovely! I'm ready to go whenever everyone else is. And with an experienced pathfinder such as yourself accompanying us, I'm sure that nothing could possibly go wrong."

A rather frivolous looking woman comes rushing up, wearing a massive hoop skirt and brushing long strands of plant fibers out of her eyes. "I'm soooo sorry to be late, dearies, but wouldn't you know that the beauty parlor was just packed and then I only just made it to lunch in the nick of time and then of course our table wasn't ready and well really it was too dreadful to even discuss but then there I go again just talking up a storm and I haven't even introduced myself.

She pauses to catch her breath and spritz herself with a spray bottle of water with many small bubbles in it. She smiles as the droplets of water moisturize her green skin, and she cranes her neck joyfully towards the sun before asking, "So, where are we going?"

I should have Skarlit finished and ready to play later tonight. Sorry for the delay.

I've dotted in but will need a day or two to rebuild my PC (started her out as a kineticist but have decided to make her a vigilante instead) before I'll be ready to go. Thanks. Also, I've never played the consortium compact so would be interested in that following this one too.

What cool options did Leshy PCs get?

Any word about what classes will be getting archetypes for Vine Leshies? I've got a vine leshy boon that I'm starting to think about planning for.

Thanks, GM! This was a really great scenario with a ton of rich flavor. Thanks also to my fellow players for doing such a great job of bringing their characters to life in the story. I look forward to future leshy adventures!

"Yes, we can't let all the crops and other plants die! If there's no time to replant it in Mercy itself in a place of honor, let us return it to its cave."

Ohh, more leshy-ness! That'd be great! Especially if I could work it so I'm not in so many games the next time we try this!

Agreed. I'm afraid my RP suffered in this game due to too many other games happening at the same time. Much appreciate all the effort that the rest of you brought to the game!

"Verdant dear, do you think you can resume supporting all the plants here in Mercy? What if we replant you here? Would that help?"

Seedy Pod Popper wrote:

Yep, Seedy is up for more Leshy Mania or Madness as well.

How about Strange Aeons? ;)

I'd love that - I haven't had a chance to play any APs yet.

"Oh dear, this doesn't seem good," Skarlit says worriedly, as she glances down at her own vines to see if she is also being affected. "Um, Verdant dear, can you think of any reason why moving you would be harming the plants in the area?"

Skarlit would also love to continue with more Leshy fun, though I'm planning to rebuild her into something other than a leshykineticist. Not sure what yet.

Skarlit agrees with the others. It doesn't seem right to leave this noble creature here in a cave. "Don't you want to see the world? There's so much you could do. You could even learn to explore, rapport, and corroborate, like us, no wait, that's not it. Well, you know, I'm still new at this, but it's not so hard to get the hang of it. You'll see. You'll love being a Pathfinder! What do you say?"

Skarlit scratches one viny tendril across her forehead in perplexity. "So what are you doing to the people of Mercy? And why? And what did you have to do with that Cloaker beast?"
