Stersk Moltengaze's page

Stersk takes his time helping craft some blackpowder fireworks that are less explosion and more big loud bang for the village to help them scare and keep boar away from the town. An actual tactic in Japan

Crafting: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Stersk stand still for a few moments after the gun fires off, it sounded like a solid shot and hit, but the sudden lack of cries and toppling sound, along with the splatter of something liquid suggests that maybe, just maybe, he blew her head off? "Oi! Someone with proper, working eyes, Di I just blow off her head? I knew I wasn't too old to be doing this adventuring stuff! The dread mercenary Moltengaze is BACK!" He gives a cheer and a hearty chuckle before realizing everyone's attention is elsewhere and he nearly walked into a tree in his swagger.

Stersk fires a shot at the hag and then reloads by stabbing out with the katana.

Clan pistol: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Damage, Concussive: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

+1 striking Katana: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 5 = 15
Slashing: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 6) + 2 = 12

He then takes a swing at the small doll near her.
+1 striking Katana: 1d20 + 9 - 10 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 10 = 19
Slashing: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 2 = 12

Stersk takes swing at the hag with his new greasy-smelling sword.
+1 Striking Katana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage, S: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7

He then takes a shot at her, hoping his first hit was enough to distract her.

+1 Clan pistol: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 5 = 22
Damage, Concussive: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

HE then follows up with a final swing of the katana, reloading as he strikes out with it.

+1 Striking Katana: 1d20 + 7 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 7 - 10 = 0
Slashing: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 = 9

That Produce Flame crit will also cause 2d4 Persistent fire damage. While this wouldn't stack with Incendiary Aura this Produce Flame persistent fire damage would deal double damage as it was dealt due to a critical hit with the new errata I believe.

I don't think this persistent damage that gets added because of a crit (much like the extra die from deadly/fatal) gets doubled. If it was something in the base spell then most certainly. (Also, given how it's already heightened, wouldn't double be 4d4?)

↺ Stersk still holding the katana, quickly flings the sheath off somewhere into the bushes and draws out his clan pistol.

◇ He then strides closer to the hag thing. Stersk seems to be tokenless on the map. He then raises his postol and fires a shot at the thing. "Really can't hear what you're saying over the sound of the pistol. Bow? Like bow-wow? Are you imitating a dog? Never get what goes through some people's heads! "

+1 Clan Pistol: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Damage, Concussive: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
DC 5 Falt check: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Of that hits, she's flat-footed to the next melee Strike Stersk makes

He then closes in with the woman and takes a swing with the katana no one else seemed to want.
+1 Striking Katana (vs. FF?): 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 5 = 23
Damage Slashing: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2) + 1 = 8
DC 5 flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Stersk tip-taps through the forest slowly, barely able to keep up with everyone due to the unstable footing, but the sounds of everyone else is more than enough to keep him on track. He finally makes it to where everyone else is gun in hand and a twinkle in his milky white eyes. "Where's the target? Why isn't anyone fighting? What, you made peace? And are going after some evil kami? At least tell me you got SOMETHING from all this!"

With a huff he takes the blade and tests the weight of it. "Hrmm, I might be able to use this, but I'd be using it and the sheath to find my way, so if someone can use it better, please do so!"
Stersk can use martial weapons, but (at least for RP purposes) is probably not the best person to hold it.

Qigig and Alaric!

There we've completed the circle!

But in all seriousness, Qigig is a shoo in at this point and Stersk could use a hero point pretty well. He rolls twice the d20s of most characters (flat checks.)

I'm back. Thank-you for botting me, it took me longer to get back to this than I expected.

Stersk moves up to the skittering thing in blue and raises his cane as he reloads his gun.

Cane (Reloading Strike): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
DC 5 Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 20

He then takes his Reloaded pistol and fires at the thing point blank.

+1 Clan Pistol: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 5 = 11
Damage, Concussive: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
DC 5 Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 12

My cat passed away today. I'm sorry but I won't be posting an update today.

Higher high tier DCs with only a +3 at best is... asking for misinformation.

Stersk gives a nod a the description, not really able to imagine what that would look like after decades of not seeing anything. "Huh, sounds interesting... Well we going to get moving or should I start getting a burial site for myself ready?"

Also untrained, Stersk is a spiky specialized bullet firing machine.

You'll still have a day of downtime after that. Retraining takes 7 days.

Stersk jsut takes a single shot at the doll that is probably dead, before setting his cane down, Reloading and grabbing the implement again.

Clan Pistol, bless: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 1 = 28
Damage, Concussive: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (1) = 7
DC5 hidden Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 13

◆ Strike, ◇ Drop Cane, ◆ Reload, ◆ Interact to grab cane.

Stersk repeats his actions from last round, first taking a shot at the doll still on top of him.

Clan, Pistol, bless: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 = 13
Damage, Concussive: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
DC 5 Hidden Flat: 1d20 ⇒ 12

He then swings out with his cane as he reloads again. Reloading Strike, probing cane, 2nd Strike: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 5 = 21
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
DC 5 Hidden Flat: 1d20 ⇒ 20

He then properly backs up a few spaces away from the doll.
Forgot to move my token last turn but the extra move from the doll wouldn't change the outcome of the turn at all.

Stersk takes a point blank shot at the doll hitting him with necrotic energy.

Clan Pistol: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
DC 5 Hidden check: 1d20 ⇒ 15

He then swings his cane and reloads in a single swipe.
Reloading Strike: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 - 5 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
DC 5 Hidden Flat: 1d20 ⇒ 3

He then then backs up from the doll and tries to keep it away from him.

Fort Save DC 18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Stersk takes a massive wave of negative energy from the doll and wavers as he reels from the blow. "Dang these things are little mosquitos!"

Stersk hears the sounds of a doll in front of him and points his gun down at it.

Clan Pistol: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Damage, Piercing (concussive): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
DC 5 Hidden Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Fatal?: 3d10 + 2 ⇒ (3, 8, 6) + 2 = 19

Probing Cane: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Damage, Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
DC 5 Hidden Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 6

I forgot a very important roll for Sterks's attacks! He's blind and needs to make a DC 5 flat check against the concealment!
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Just as he starts moving, Stersk realizes that any enemy is right next to him and he can't spring forward like he'd been planning on. He raises his pistol and fires a shot.

Clan Pistol: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Damage, Piercing (concussive): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

He then swings his can e out at the flying thing near him muttering about how annoying even the bugs here are.

Reloading Strike, 2nd strike: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 5 = 8
Damage, Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

He then moves towards the true enemies in the area, the dolls.

Whoops sorry about that forgot I needed to fill in the macros in the first place.

His probing cane already in hand, Stersk immediately pulls out a pistol worn down some with age, but still clearly showing the signs of his clan from back in Alkenstar.

◇ Into the Fray to draw both weapons

Stersk tries to give the man one of the stares that got him his last name during his adventuring days...

Intimidate: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

He is just barely able to line up his gaze with the man, before commenting, "I can't even see the forest animals! They're more likely to run from me than I'm going to do anything to them!"

Stersk stands a few feet from the table, arms crossed and clearly bored. He can't read what the man or his pupil are doing and listening to an instruction in the arcane mysteries of the Arcane magics in a language he doesn't understand is unconducive to conversation. He sidles up to Qigiq and Jak, also adding in, "We going to be here long? I feel more useless than water in a rainstorm."

Amara Li makes a face of disgust when offered the turnip ale. She tries to hide it quickly by taking up her teacup again and quickly sipping.

"Welcome, Stersk. I trust you'll eventually fall in love with our customs on this side of the world." She smirks a bit. "Perhaps a sweet bean cake for you?"

Stersk gives a huff and with the confidence of an elderly man who doesn't give a flip says, "I doubt that. But some food would be great. You grow any good turnips out here?"

"Searching for a Pathfinder caravan lost--only lost, we pray--in the woods," Qigiq informs the blind dwarf.

Sterk gives a nod. "An old search and rescue eh? I'd be down for that. Can't quite search as well as I used to, but I'll help you out."

Picking up a Minor Healing potion for a school item

From outside of the establishment there's the sound of a stick rythmically hitting the ground, tip-tap tip-tap. After a moment of quieter conversation an older, dishvealed looking dwarf slowly and carefully ducks into the place. He pauses and pulls back his hood revealing a incongrously meticulously groomed beard and the pearly white and scarred eyes of someone who has clearly lost their vision.

He listens to the various conversations happening, before honing in on the Pathfinders. Using his stick in hand, he tip-taps up to the low table everyone is around. "You're Pathfinders, right? Erastil's Broken Bow string I hope you are!" He feels out for the table and an empty spot before slowly lowering himself into a sitting position. "First mission for the Society after I join to start earning money to send back to Eltran's Folly and what do they do? Send me an entire continent and a half away, where people BARELY speak Taldane and nothing makes sense. Who the flip made doors that SLIDE open? I swear I spent 5 minutes trying to get a door open to a restroom before some kind soul showed me how to do it. At least people are kind and helpful to the elderly and blind here."

As the dwarf rants he pulls out a jug of some unusual liquid and feels the side of it before popping the lid. "Anyone want some turnip ale? It's my own vintage!" Even from a distance it smells like it could probably varnish wood, if you tried.

"So what're we doing so far away from everything I know?"

Well if you wanted a healer who's level 4 and going make things difficult without doing much to help mitigate that, I could... But more importantly, I've been wanting to bring Stersk into Society play ever since I finished Fall of Plaguestone with him.

I'll be switching to this PC instead, given how Dyner has already been to Sakakabe.
