Snaggletooth, Rhamphorhynchus's page

Snaggletooth yells, "The oni, it's an ogre mage and it regenerates! Bring acid or fire!"

"My, normally I need to sleep to regain this much power! Ninlil, I--oh, right." fzzt "--can't cast spells through this projection. Well, let's put it to use anyway."

He peers around the area.

Knowledge (arcana) DC 18 vs. the red oni: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Knowledge (arcana) DC 16 vs. the pink earth elemental: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Immunities and weaknesses?

Snaggletooth says, "Aha! That must have been it!" without looking to see whether he has actually succeeded, and flaps off to start picking up durable arrows for Haliban. "Got you covered, my boy!"

He'll spend two rounds doing this. Fly speed of 40 feet.

Snaggletooth says, "Ugh! STAY HERE, you stupid rotating rune--"

Snaggletooth will keep trying, for his own dignity!

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

"Ninlil, keep calm and focus. Is there anything you can do to aid your companions instead of lashing out like an angry 50-year-old?"

He skitters out of sight on the top of the multifaceted jail, and a moment later you hear, "By Ranginori why do these $%#@*! symbols have to keep moving around?! I can't focus on these bedamned riddles if I keep getting distracted!" he yells, and slaps the top of the mineral cage.

Snaggletooth skitters around the top of the rotating sphere. "Oh come on it's got to be somewhere..."

Snaggletooth is delaying. And can probably be removed from initiative. We've seen these before!

My brain is fried. I'll post up the next combat encounter in the morning. More crusty things emerge from the walls...

I know what will solve it. Another complicated set of restrictions that I have a hard time keeping track of! :D

Thanks for bearing with us all.

"Urk! This is important! I need to do what I can to help, even though I'm not really here!"

Snaggletooth lands on top of the spinning rock and uses his vast knowledge and experience to start puzzling out riddles, koans, and mathematical equations!

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

It's no problem if familiars can't solve puzzles; perhaps his distance from this particular reality is getting in the way!

Snaggletooth likes breathing too! Will save to avoid suffocation.: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

"Ninlil! Ninlil, pay attention!" Snaggletooth yells. "We have some--" fzzt "--approaching! Rapidly!"

Snaggletooth takes flight outside the circles. "Wait! Those circles--it could be a trap! Oh, bother. Friend Urien, could you tell what these were?"

Snaggletooth will attempt his own DC 23/28 Knowledge (planes) check to understand the circles before he goes in: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

"I--uhm--I've almost--" bzzt "--it. No, wait, that's not it--"

Snaggletooth uses his masterful perception to look for a hole in the defenses!: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28

"That fortress looks nigh-impenetrable! But wait--you're right, the rubble!"

Hah, I forgot Snaggletooth got up to +21 this level, not +20. He really cut it close on this one...

Snaggletooth spreads his wings as Ninlil drops to the ground, and goes into a long glide.

Knowledge (religion) for the corpse thing, to aid another Ninlil: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Knowledge (religion) for the eyes thing, to aid another Ninlil: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

"Ninlil, we have a guecubu and a crypt thing. What do you remember about them?"

He comes to a gliding stop on Ninlil's shoulder at the end.

Snaggletooth says, "Ninlil, if they are Kelizandri worshipers fighting against the rebels... maybe we shouldn't humor them anymore. Perhaps they're trying to delay us from reaching our goal!"

Snaggletooth is not a combat familiar in that sense, so he's not really going to take a turn or have combat actions. I'll sneak in a turn for Ninlil tomorrow morning when I can, in-between meetings.

Knowledge (nature) to recognize the other strange creature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

"Ninlil, I do not recognize that thing--have you seen it in your reference studies?"

Snaggletooth adds, "I can barely see through this water--is there anyone hiding beneath it?" He sticks his head under water for good measure.

Snaggletooth will try to Perceive whether there are any hidden combatants lurking beneath!: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37 Using a move or standard to make an active perception check.

"BY RANGINORI is that cold!!"

Confirmation bias?

Hahaha! Hey, wait! Watch where you're pointing that rapier! I'm really squishy!

So true! Although I just got done with a module run with my witch where literally everything was immune to mind affecting stuff, undead, plants, constructs, you name it.

That sounds like some bad luck, for sure!

So that's bleeding over a little as well.

Couldn't be. Elementals are immune to bleed!

Can you explain what this means?

You all know your PCs and companions better than I. Help me, help you.

Thanks.

Sorry! I just meant to have some fun with it. He was using Perception to point out the big creatures that we all saw automatically. Think nothing of it!

Snaggletooth points out the strange creatures!: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32 "Ninlil! Quick, can you identify these?"

Snaggletooth attempts to aid another:
Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

"Yes. Let's! Onward!"

Snaggletooth peers over his snout at Haliban. "You know, I do enjoy a good sourdough. If you're offering, I'm accepting! Oh, but I always forget--I can barely taste anything at all while I'm projecting! You save that, and when Ninlil has no further need of me for the day, I'll see if my wife has any of that baguette left. The advantage of being small in a sylph community--a copper's worth of bread lasts all week!"

To answer Haliban's question re planetary adaptation and planar adaptation-like energy resistance bonus:

Scenario p. 53 wrote:

For the purpose of this adventure, planetary adaptation grants no energy resistance but does protect the recipient from environmental temperature extremes, the vacuum of space, and damage dealt by radioactivity.

GM, you're positively glowing. Is that anticipation, or gamma decay?

Snaggletooth says, "Hello, pleased to meet you--oh, can I get one of those, ma'am, and one for my friend Ninlil please? I don't know where--" bzzt "--going, but I am concerned about what this may foreshadow."

Two planetary adaptations, please! 2 prestige points deducted.

"Well, let's get in and out before anyone gets home!"

Snaggletooth sniffs the robe (Perception): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35. "Smells... clean?"

"Wait, this thing is probably asbestos if it hasn't caught fire yet. Ninlil, can you get this projection a restoration when we're home?"

Snaggletooth keeps listening! Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27

I'll move Fahd for you if you want--you still want help moving about the map?

In the meantime, Snaggletooth decides to help carefully listen at the door. Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34

"Enough idle speculation. Let's go upstairs!"

"I.... let's go search again, just to be sure!"

Snaggletooth flies back and starts rifling through their fallen foe.

Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

Hmmm, going to have to check manually for a while. My campaign RSS feeds stopped updating again. Whee~!

Intelligence: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Snaggletooth holds up a book. "The height of decadence is following your bloodlines back a million years. There's so much--" bzzt "--here that it could take us years to read it all."

Snaggletooth says "Bother... I can't quite read these through this projection. Maybe I can find the good bits, anyway. Masayoshi, my man, perhaps we can dig through lineages together and two blind flying squirrels will find a nut of value."

Snaggletooth doesn't speak Ignan.

Perception!: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34

Snaggletooth gives the door one more once-over. Izzit a trap? Perception!: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 39

Snaggletooth, on the other hand, carefully inspects this blue sheet, looking for traps or other sources of suspicion.

Perception!: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25

Snaggletooth flaps over to Ninlil and looks around carefully!

Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32

"Good idea! Crowe, pick something to leave here!" Snaggletooth fans out a selection of incriminating correspondence.

I'm a familiar.

"Oh, smart! Yes, we should take a careful inventory... aren't you supposed to be looking for some things, anyway?"

Perception to search!: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34

Snaggletooth pulls open a brass case and looks at the incriminating "evidence" inside.

Ninlil looks over Snaggletooth's shoulder. "How did you manage to--"

"You know we familiars have our secrets, Ninlil." Snaggletooth says. "Don't ask too many questions about how I ended up with it. Just pretend it makes sense. Now, what sorts of evidence do we even have here? Would it make sense to leave it in... is this a galley? Or a strategy room?"

"Oh, I look good in glasses!" says Snaggletooth, as his beady little pterosaur eyes gleam in the direction of the lenses of detection. He tries to keep an undistracted eye on other things, though, as he follows Ciri while flying.

Perception to keep an eye out: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31

I prefer Archives of Nethys, but the search engine optimization is absurdly bad! So what I do is I make a custom search in my browser. Whenever I type in "pf" followed by a space, it will use Google to search the Archives of Nethys and it generally works okay.

The string I use to make this happen is

"Sounds like a plan to me!"

Snaggletooth listens at the double doors. Perception, Comprehend Languages: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30

"Ah! Now I can make it--" flicker "--sounds like someone with a very deep voice is yelling at subordinates who were trying to run away? Ninlil, Riddywhipple, you should go help them!"

I seeeeee you: Perception!: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26

Snaggletooth says, "Ninlil, friends, also I hear something from inside. It does sound like it's in Ignan, I think--" His form flickers in and out.

"It is not the worst thing for me if I die while projected," says Snaggletooth, "If I do, be mighty in my place, Riddywhipple! In the meantime, I can tell you about this spell!" He clears his throat into his wing membrane.

"You're hasted, my friends. Your movement speeds will double, to a maximum of 30 additional feet. You get a +1 bonus on attack rolls, armor class, and reflex saving throws. If you take a full attack action, you receive an extra attack at your highest base attack bonus. These bonuses stack with many things, but not with the divine spell Blessing of Fervor should that also be cast upon us."

Snaggletooth draws himself up into as dignified a pose as he can, and says "Excuse me?! I believe you have the wrong rhamphorhynchus!" He flies back to Ninlil and hides behind her.

"Oh, finally something interesting to do!"

He attempts to land on an azer's shoulder, but finds it a very hot seat.

"Ow! Ooh! Ouch!"

He picks his feet up and tries to hover as near a serving tray as he can get. Fly check, DC 15, to hover: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34. The pterosaur whispers, "Hey there, my igneous acquaintance! How are your work benefits? Do you get adequate holidays and sick pay? Have you considered unionizing? Perhaps... organizing a strike at a most inopportune time?"

Unrelated: realized that Ninlil's sheet was a smidgen broken (forgot a closing spoiler tag!) so now you should be able to see her inventory list for realz. Or something suitably unhip.

"We're going to be helping an efreeti either way, Ninlil. I believe Masayoshi has the right idea here. Besides, it has been several--" fzzt "--uries since my last big prank. A well-executed practical joke is good for the soul! Now, if you'll excuse me, I simply must see what Riddywhipple is working on..."

Ninlil and Snaggletooth are making offsetting votes!

"Ahem. You're... quite right. Now then. Where were we? Oh, yes--Toctep, that is a capital idea. Yasmine should be able to tell us more about this party and its host."

"What if we lace the tasty rodent hors d'oeuvres with farting powder? Hang invisible mosquito-netting from the rafters? Oooh, I know--cover the mouth of the ceremonial horn with essence of spectre's pepper?"
