T'Shar's page

If the GM wants, he will always manage to kill a player or the entire party, even in an environment as easy as PFS... And especially if they’re frustrated with something. The game has to be fun to the GM as well, and I’m sure our GM here got frustrated several times as the game dragged sometimes for days without posts, mine included. That particular trap is clearly not as lethal - usually the GMs would resolve an attack against the first person in the room, or give people a chance to react after a single attack in each, these things. For my character, I particularly spelled out that T’Shar was walking in the back and letting other people in first, as to observe what was going on before stepping in, but apparently this was ignored as (like I said) the intention was to make a not-designed-to-be-as-lethal trap kill one or more characters. But it doesn’t matter - it’s just a game, bad things happen, and I’d rather use it for learning (about people to play with, etc.).

Unless Steppinwolf managed to drag T'Shar out as he announced the round before, T'Shar is just dead on the floor taking arrows.

I thought someone had dragged T'Shar out of that room? I can't find it anywhere. He is far, far unconscious anyway, so if he's still in the room and taking arrows on his body on the floor, then he is extra dead and the new arrows are just pushing him into a pulp of ifrit.

As far as I understand the rules, the 12 nonlethal take me to 0 already, everything else is lethal and outright kills me as my CON isn't that high.

T'Shar is dead.

T'Shar moves behind the others. While he was impulsive - he became weary with what Steppinwolf spoke, so decided to let the others take the first steps this time.

Should we try to retrieve both necklaces and put them together, in such case? - asks T'Shar.

You had me as soon as you asked to burn the place down! - says the ifrit, his hands already starting to manifest small flames.

Hmm... That's a nice spear. I wonder what's really going on here... Is this all part of some sort of test? - asks the kineticist.

T'Shar starts investigating the room they are in, inspecting the construct itself and the surroundings before going to the next room.

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

I forgot point blank shot before, but will add on the next attacks

T'Shar focus, breathing deeply, and pulls all the warmth of the air around him towards a potent, burning blast against the enemy.

This creature seems susceptible to fire! - he says, alerting his companions in case they could do something about it.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9 Touch
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7 Fire

Seriously doubt it hits, but anyway... Move to gather power, standard to shoot, the reflex DC for burning infusion is 13 to avoid catching fire

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Climb: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

T'Shar stays in his feet and climbs back up. He doesn't notice anything particular special about the construct. As he stops his movement, he shoots at the construct a small blast of fire.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 Touch
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Fire

I say “nay” but I don’t mind either way!

How hurt are we? Looking at the headers, I can't really see it. Are you asking to rest because of resources/spells/etc.?

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

We should take them all, regardless, even if we try this one first. - says the ifrit.

All good mate! I imagined this would be the result! I was doing it mostly for flavor as I waited for my colleagues' actions ;)

Frustrated his attempt didn't seem to make any difference, T'Shar held his silence about the water. He wasn't minimally interested in swimming himself, and would do it only as a last resort.

Maybe I can burn it down to a crisp? - says T'Shar, more excited with the possibility than he should, as he swirls and throws a blast of fire.

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Ugh! This thing was nasty! I still have no idea what I just saw. - says the Ifrit, which wasn't of much use at all on the fight - Can anyone maybe try to mend her?

T'Shar moves his arms to gather power and, again, tries to attack the enemy - but misses completely.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 4 PBS, vs. touch, target in melee with others

He then 5-foot-steps behind Steppingwolf.

T'Shar steps ahead, getting within 30' of the figure. The ifrit moves his arms with speed, and the environment gets warmer. A smoke cloud briefly forms around him, and finally it becomes a blast of pure burning fire flying against the creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 6 PBS, vs. touch, vs. flat-footed if T'Shar acted before
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The blast flies completely without direction, leaving the pyrokineticist cursing his own aim.

5-foot, move to gather, Burning Infusion DC 13 to avoid catching fire. Although, honestly, I don't think a 6 can hit anything :)

Let's continue! Let's explore it here. - says T'Shar, tapping his foot impatiently - If you get anything to ask him, go for it. Otherwise we can get back to the crazy man later!

The ifrit is just a big hothead, certainly not interested in the wisest course of action. However, he will comply and wait if the group decides to do so; he already somewhat learned to control his will to move ahead burning everything.

Thanks GM! T'Shar usually has his spear at hands; if he didn't have his spear, then he wouldn't be able to take the AoO as he doesn't have improved unarmed strike and is considered unarmed. My apologies for not posting sooner.

We should probably put him down and tie him up before waking him up again! - says the Ifrit.

T'Shar moves close enough to be within 30 feet of the enemy, then hides behind Uaine, waiting to see what the enemy will do before attacking.

If T'Shar is already somewhat within 30 feet of him and with some level of cover, then I will just hold my action

T'Shar shrugs.

Not that I don't much care, but... We can always come back later. I like the idea of checking the wailing out. - he says.

T'Shar moves ahead, spear in hands, and attacks it once within his reach.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

I have no idea of what a bombardier beetle is, but I hope we can squash it! - he says, likely dumber than the enemy itself as he swings with violence. The entire air around the room feels warmer.

What in the abyss would three to open mean? - asked the Ifrit, loudly and carelessly, clearly showing why he wasn't known for his intellect, wisdom or any other mental skills for that matter - I get the work together part, but the rest of the riddles just goes right over my head.

<o, here and ready ;)

As Steppinwolf gets back with them, T'Shar moves on his own. He knees down near the shut door to the southeast, then waves calling the others.

This way seems as good as any way within this maze... Let's keep moving! - says the impatient Ifrit.

Finally back! I had to clear cookies and refresh more than once, and use different browsers. Now it seems to be stabilizing in all my devices.

What about that sack down there? The one you're looking at? - asks T'Shar, curious, before turning to Surely - Let's pull him back and continue to that hallway.

T'Shar follows silently, letting Steppinwolf and other melee capable companions in his front.

T'Shar steps ahead and tries to hit the enemy with his spear.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

T'Shar moves closer and draws his spear.

This BAB 0 thing is quite something :P Heh

Just for clarity, when T'Shar attacked the enemy, the enemy was in melee, but he had no cover (which he has as of now, as people moved for their actions).

T'Shar repeats his action, now with a big smile on his face - happy to be burning stuff! This time, he targets the enemy by his South.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 14 Touch, PBS, no Precise Shot
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Vs. White; five-foot-step ahead, move to gather power, standard to attack - DC 13 Burning infusion

T'Shar does a small step ahead, then moves his arms in pure impulse - he doesn't seem to have any skill at it at all. Yet, after a lot of flames seem to be pulled towards him, the ifrit releases a flying blast of pure fire against the closest enemy he can see.

Against blue, currently not engaged in melee

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23 PBS
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5 Fire

Move to gather, burning infusion - DC 13

Sorry - I had a lot of work last Friday, and I'm quite slow over the weekends. Feel free to bot me every time it happens. And yes, this holiday period is always slower! :)

Maybe we should carry him with us back to town? To see if he can be recognized, maybe give him a proper burial? - asked the Ifrit, not the minimum social decorum - To be honest, it's not like he's moving anywhere any soon, so I guess we should first focus on our mission.

T'Shar is glad that at least his companions can do more of the analysis work. The young Ifrit seems constantly agitated, as if the fire in his blood is burning him from inside out.

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

T'Shar is as clueless as Steppinwolf and seems oblivious even to what Surely says. The Ifrit is thoughtful, as if any simple mental task is truly difficult for him.

I'm fine, thanks. - T'Shar replies, brashly, as he swings his spear aimlessly in the air.

The next day...

Maybe? Look at all these bite marks! - he speaks, not really being any smart, wise or trained to interpret what he's seeing.

T'Shar moves towards the sleeping wolf and pulls his spear to attack it in melee.

Standard to draw spear, move action to get in melee with the yellow wolf.

T'Shar moves his arms and shoots again, targeting at the closest wolf.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11 Touch, vs. Black, PBS
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3 Ew

Move to gather, standard to shoot burning blast - DC 13 to save vs. catching fire

From where he is, T'Shar starts gathering power again - and then releases it against the wolf in a burning fiery blast.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Touch
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

DC 13 to save vs. catching fire

Yeah, I agree... Something fishy is going on. - says the ifrit, spear in hands - Should we investigate? Or at least... Spread a little bit?

As he completed, he did a step sideways looking around. His hair seemed to start floating a little bit, as if a swift smoke was coming from underneath it.

Hah! - says T'Shar, letting out a wave of flames out of his body, that dissipates a few inches away without harming anyone - I didn't get to burn anything!

After a long sigh of frustration, he speaks back to the group.

I say we stick to our path. Maybe that's part of some test, but regardless we have our mission at hand.

He pulls his spear to get ready to move - and will do so with the group even if people decide to stray from the path.

Will: 1d20 - 1 + 4 ⇒ (5) - 1 + 4 = 8

I see nothing fake here!

T'Shar does a small step ahead and gathers power again, and one more time shoots his blast. He was confused - he didn't see any illusions, and certainly wouldn't hold his punches with nonlethal damage. Who ever heard of nonlethal fire?

Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 3 - 4 = 3 Touch, PBS, no Precise Shot
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

The burning infused blast misses by far, though.

The ifrit laughs as his arms move through the air. Currents of fire surround him, and suddenly a malformed gust of flames fly.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 3 = 13 Touch, vs.Black, PBS
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6 Fire

Move to gather, standard to shoot. DC 13 for burning infusion (save or catch fire).

I will go! - says T'Shar, not a semblance of worry in the ifrit's face. For a moment, anyone surrounding him felt as if things got way warmer, as the pyrokineticist let his blood burn in excitement.
