Stali One-Penny's page

“Door do not have to be a problem that cause the whole group to wait for one person to post for each one,”

Stealth: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35

Stali sneaks a peek at what is happening.

Been fun Uesugi, quite the impressive character you’ve built up there.

Have fun concentrating on your GMing! Since you said you were retiring from PFS, am I correct in thinking the games you are GMing are outside the society?

Take care!

Profession Merchant, Ioun Stone: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 15 + 2 = 29
Season 7 FCJ gives minimum of 50 gp from day job

Assuming there are no unique or variant items on the chronicle, Stali will buy a Bottled Scream while still in Goka for the Season 8 FJC.

Doom is for level 8-10.

It is a lot of fun! I’ve GMed it in face to face,

I think right now I have to bow out though. I’m already playing in three different games and trying to finish a module in PbP. At least the special is done, just need to do the chronicles.

Looking through the portal, Stali says “Will this stay stable, and allow us to create other portals?”

He seems genuinely curious about it.

Then looking directly at Aram Zey, he mentions “The guardians of the tapestry mentioned they could use some reinforcements. It seems to me that getting them some would be in the Society’s best interests.”

Seeing that there are already enough people to recite the chants and having no magic of his own, Stali takes up a position from which he can ambush anyone who tries to interfere.

Stealth: 10 + 19 = 29

Then he just waits, keeping watch.

Uesugi missed the +1d6 fire damage from Gallix’s song.

Watching his blade start on fire, Stali says “Neat! Thanks Gallix!”

Stali is seriously considering a light mace with bane outsider (elemental) on it because they have come up so often for him.

Yes, it can be aggravating. Swashbucklers don’t like it either since their damage bonus is precision damage. They aren’t hit as badly as rogues, but it still hurts.

It isn’t quite as bad as Wizards vs Golems, but elementals are much more common.

Frustrated by his lack of damage against the creature, Stali tries to help Uesugi on his third swing.

“Did lightning just heal that thing?” Stali asks.

Having seen others hurt it with their weapons, Stali tries again.

+1 menacing Adamantine Aldori Dueling Sword, Haste: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 1 = 26
Slicing damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

+1 menacing Adamantine Aldori Dueling Sword, Haste extra attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 1 = 29
Slicing damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

+1 menacing Adamantine Aldori Dueling Sword, Second Attack, Haste: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14
Slicing damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Stali moves forward, drawing his sword as he moves.

“Is that a creature, and if so what is it?”

He slices at the cloud, not even sure it could be hurt by his weapon.
+1 menacing Adamantine Aldori Dueling Sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Slicing damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Sneak Attack damage if not immune: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 6) = 21 Hampered

No AoO because he has Spring Attack.

“That would have hurt!” Stali says as the lightning hits him directly.
Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 Full Effect

Looking to Tall Dark and Insulated, Stali says “Thank you!”

"Reinforcements would be helpful in helping to secure the vault, but the Pathfinder Society should respect that securing this place does not entitle them to ownership of it."

Stali gives a nod of agreement at that statement.

Seems quite reasonable. I will have to make sure this is clear in my report else someone else is likely to get some bad ideas.

He waits, interested in hearing more about the dangers.

“Our information indicated the four items from the vault were needed in order to perform the ritual. If there is a different way, please let us know. As for the items taken from the defeated, they will be turned over to the Pathfinder Society who sent us.”

“They used our attempt to parlay as a way to try and get an advantage. It seems they never intended to resolve things peacefully. Their items we will be turning over to the Pathfinder Society as is our custom.”

At least that is how it has always been explained to me, we turn over everything we take and can claim some of it later as bounty.

Aid Diplo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Stali looks around the chamber for remains of previous guardians.

“Do you need reinforcements? We can tell the Pathfinder Society. It is likely they would want to help you protect the tapestry and the areas within it. It has historic significance and our group is all about documenting such things,”

Nodding, Stali says “Our only interest in the heart is as a means of opening the portals.” As he says this, he grasps his silver holy symbol of Alseta.

Aid Diplo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
GM Reroll to Aid Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 4 = 18

Their faces are expressionless as they speak in unison, their voices echoing. "Why do you seek the Abysium Heart?"

“To open new doors, as is common amongst those who follow Alseta.”

“I believe his headband is no better than mine.” Stali says.

“I’m not really good with wands, but could I try the False Life?”

When he is given it, he tries shaking it and muttering.
Umd: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
UMD: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Cheerfully, he states “That works!”
Temp Hit Points: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

“May I have one of the Cure Serious Wounds potions?”

“We might want to know how they got here. Other than that, I expect their badges are worth more than their lives.” Assuming they actually have Aspis badges.

As he says that, he starts searching through the items.
Perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40

“It looks like items matching the description are here. Any way to verify they are the right ones?” he asks as he looks on the brick for an incantation.

“Let them talk! Sometimes they let things slip.”

Using four leaf clover
Will: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19

“I don’t want to leave yet.”

With that, Stali attempts to circle the pesky summoner while slicing at them with his sword.
Circling Mongoose

Perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39

“I had meant on the caster, but I guess one of the others can take him out.”

Saying this, Stali slices at the bugbear twice with his sword and then steps towards Haelvora.
+1 menacing Adamantine Aldori Dueling Sword, flank: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 4 = 24
Slicing damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

+1 menacing Adamantine Aldori Dueling Sword, Second Attack, flank : 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 4 = 14
Slicing damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Sneak Attack damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 2) = 11 Hampered

Full Attack and 5’ step

So do I also get an AoO on Haelvora since he is casting a spell in my threatened area?

“It would help if I had someone to flank with.”

Waiting to see if someone moves to provide a flank

“My name is Stali, and you are losing bugbears fast. I think my feathers are safe from that fate, stranger.”

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 20
which one?: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Nice! Another Grippli!

Poor Stali must be scarred for life, meeting the bald easterners. ;)

Nah, he knows it is just the one individual who is like that. Once D starts fighting, there are going to be quick and brutal deaths.

Shaking his head in sadness at D’s proclamation, Stali tells Haelvora “See what you’ve started?”

“Well, I guess Diplomacy will not work here after all...” Stali says as he moves forward drawing his sword.

“You shouldn’t be in such a hurry!” as he slashes at Haelvora with his sword.

Slicing damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Sneak Attack damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 2) = 13 Hampered — no 5’ step

Stali moves to the side, allowing the more diplomatic people in the party to lead the conversation.

That is always the problem with featureless hallways, no place to hide.

Hearing Sirettis give demands rather than try for a more diplomatic approach, he decides to enter the conversation. “I’m sorry, but having found the stench of the dead bodies put us a bit on edge.” He gestures back towards the hallway he just came out of.

Gesturing with a claw to himself, he says “I am Stali, the scout of our party.”
Aid Diplomacy hoping someone steps in to lead it: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

After a quick search, Stali offers “I don’t see any signs of traps right now, but perhaps I should lead just in case.”

If allowed, Stali will lead by about 25’, sneaking along and taking advantage of any concealment or cover if it becomes available.

With low light vision assuming the next person has a 20’ diameter light, he should still be able to see normally for 15’ and then dimly for another 20’ past that. To a human he would be in dim light.
Take 10 on Stealth for a 29.

Gesturing to the symbols on the floor and then the mural, Stali asks “Any arcane significance to the decor?”

See map for what I mean about the floor.

Amused, Stali replies “If that is the case, we will most likely see it coming, I am still going with the trap hypothesis.”

Kn: Local: 10 + 6 = 16
Heal, untrained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Nodding in agreement, Stali looks around, “So where do you think the trap that crushed them is? The asphyxiation could just be staying here too long.”

Perception, searching for traps: 1d20 + 22 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 22 + 4 = 36

Stali wakes and does his morning meditation. Once that is complete, he gets up and joins the others.

“This should be interesting.” Stepping next to Sirettis, he announces “Ready!”

Hearing the clues, Stali asks “Will it take someone with magical talent to recite the poem or other incantation?”

Best make sure I understand what parts of this I can do.

Stali inclines his head slightly in acknowledgment of Amara’s words.

I am glad to see it isn’t just me that is bothered by Aram Zey’s pretentious manner.

During the grueling 15 hour study session, Stali trades off with Uesugi and D on watch. Allow each of them some time to rest so that the whole party isn’t fatigued.

He is no help at all on decoding anything from the book.

He does ask Amara Li “Any chance they” gesturing towards Mr. Peppers, Gallix and Sirettis “will be able to rest after this research? They are going to need some,”

“How do you suggest we prepare?” Stali asks, curious as to what the samurai had planned.

Stali quickly realizes that he will not be of any use in decoding the codex. He decides the other side of the room is a good place for him to watch from. Far enough away that the book shouldn’t harm him, yet close enough to help if something unfortunate happens to those working on the project.

While watching, he makes small talk with Amara Li who also doesn’t appear to be busy with the codex.

Way of the Kirin: Think samurai with a code of honor who intensely dislike Golden League — the dislike is stronger than Grand Lodge members feel about Aspis.

I would need to check, but I believe Amara Li was the one who wanted friendly contact with them. I only played Way of the Kirin and it was well over a year ago.

Stali makes sure to take the evidence against Shadow Orchid, but suggests to the guard at the Way of the Kirin they could contact Amara Li if they need more information about this person.

——

“We thought Shadow Orchid should visit with some Way of the Kirin members. We didn’t think you needed any information from her.” With a shrug, he says “Sorry!”

Pointing towards Mr. Pepper’s bag, he adds “The Codex is in there,”

Stali shuffles his feet, uncomfortable with the situation.

“I was going to suggest we turn her over, but it is possible she would just escape.” He scratches his beak in thought. “We could turn her over to the Way of the Kirin. They are traditional enemies of the Golden League and likely skilled at fighting them.”

Gesturing at the book, he says “If you want to parade through town showing that off like a mysterious trophy, I will follow at a distance. I do not like attracting attention to myself like that,”

We can go back, but Stali wants to not look like a part of the group if they are floating the book the whole way.

“How about we put it in a bag and the bag in an extradimentional space?”

Stali brings out his wand of healing and asks Sirettis to use it on him.

“Let’s worry about the trap first. This might be the real one, considering they bothered to trap it. Nice display case.”

Stali warns the others where the trap would strike, then once they are clear he works to disable it.
Disable Device: 10 + 24 = 34
Disable Device: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (5) + 24 = 29 If the 34 didn’t work, looks like Stali gets to dodge a Scythe

“Alright.”

Stali joins them going up the stairs, on the lookout for tricks or traps.

“Leave her alive, unmolested and with her merchandise intact.” Stali suggests while checking if any of the minions live. He would try to stabilize any that are still alive.

“We bested her in combat. Provided we don’t make it personal, I think it is unlikely she would push the issue.”

Looking towards the stairs, he asks “Do you want my help, in case she trapped the area?”

Stali attacks blue, figuring it is better to take another minion out quickly.

Looking forward to the entangled condition from that dang tanglefoot bag ending...

Shouldn’t 9 of the damage on Shadow Orchid be non-lethal from Gallix’s slug?

“If she changes when she dies, wouldn’t it be easier to just not kill her?”

Stali tries to slash at Green in spite of all the hardened goo stuck to him

If he is actually hit and falls, Stali would step into his place.

“Killing isn’t something one should take pride in.”
