Takemiru's page

Personally, I feel like the pregens didn't "match" the scenario, if that makes sense. You have to admit that a group consisting of these exotic races is fairly unusual, but the scenario itself could have had any bland four-humans adventuring party, and it would've worked just fine.

Clearly, they wanted Takemiru's lush, downy fur for a coat and his beaming smile mounted on the trophy wall.

Got mine, thanks!

Was there stuff in the bedrooms that we failed to find? Not sure if we missed goodies there.

Much like the first One Shot scenario, it seems like the fights are pretty tough, and the pregen characters don't have a lot of healing. Not really my favorite types of characters, but I didn't realize until partway through this scenario that character death in Adventure Mode doesn't kill the character to which the credit is applied, so I guess I'm a little more que sera sera about dying.

"What a shame."

Takemiru shrugs and looks at the mess of a dining room.

"Soo ... who's up for seeing if there's any unpoisoned food left in the kitchen?"

Down to his last few hit points, Takemiru follows.

Silver dagger: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Trident, flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 3 = 14
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Silver dagger, agile flurry: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 4 = 15
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

It doesn't help that we've been rolling rather poorly. :\

Wasn't he weak to silver?

"Uh oh."

Without much option remaining, Takemiru follows and shivs and hopes for the best.

Silver dagger: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Trident, flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 3 = 19
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Silver dagger, agile flurry: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 4 = 22
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Alocer. I'm assuming he's not one of the everloving eternal peace and happiness gods."

dagger first this time

Silver dagger: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Trident, flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 3 = 27
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Silver dagger, agile flurry: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 4 = 16
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Silver dagger, agile flurry: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 4 = 10
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

I can't help but picture some kind of prison-like shivving as Takemiru and Zerryd stab a billion times with daggers.

Takemiru drops his sai.

"Oops."

But in a smooth motion he draws his silver dagger and stabs furiously.

Trident: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Silver dagger, agile flurry: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 2 = 12
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Silver dagger, agile flurry: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 4 = 23
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Silver dagger, agile flurry: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 4 = 18
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Warhammers and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!"

Trident: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Sai, agile flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Sai, agile flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 4 = 14
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sai, agile flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 4 = 18
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"But, it's nighttime. Did you mean the previous day or the next day?"

Takemiru steps to follow him, continuing his assault.

Trident: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Sai, agile flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 11 - 2 = 17
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"Hmm?"

Takemiru raises an eyebrow in a funny way.

Intimidating Eyebrow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Step, Twin Takedown, Intimidating Glare

"The food made us sick."

Hunt Prey, Step, Twin Takedown.

Trident: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"There was a peephole in one of the bedrooms."

Sai, agile flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 2 = 20
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"We want a refund."

Can I request that Takemiru retreat to the square I've put him in? He's trying to draw enemies across tje snares.

Takemiru will lay down his final snare behind him.

Jaithe's soothe should settle the acute crisis, but Takemiru has no healing consumables (and therefore no in-combat healing!).

Takemiru quickly hunts Green, steps, and Strikes.

Trident: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 vs flanking
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Sai, agile flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 11 - 2 = 23 vs flanking
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"Hang on, Kellsti."

Takemiru slides back behind Yellow.

"Let me tell you a little secret ..."

Trident: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Sai: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 = 12
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

If he looks at Takemiru, Takemiru will give him an Intimidating Glare.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Bah!

Takemiru hunt Yellow and slides over. He tries to take down Yellow.

Trident: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Sai, agile flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 = 18
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Yellow hit Takemiru, correct?

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Takemiru fights off the drowsiness. He steps up and attacks Red.

Trident: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Sai, agile flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27
Piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

He then growls at Red. "If you run away now, we won't tell anyone."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Rakemiru runs up, designating Red as his prey. He throws his trident

Trident: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Takemiru will move the remaining snares tobe near the door. He suggests turning the table on its side t9 take cover.

Did we ever get an answer about whether the bedrooms connected to the back tunnel?

Takemiru will ask Kellsti to Aid the bleed (Medicine +12 vs DC 20).

Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 20 DC 15 if Kellsti succeeds, DC 20 otherwise

lol

Takemiru stands up and swaggers over to the devil.

"Who's the boss now?"

He kicks the devil while it's down.

Will Administer First Aid reduce the DC, and if so, to what? 15 or 10?

I suggest not spending magic unless Takemiru goes unconscious.

Will bite three times instead.

Hmm, I missed that. I thought foxfire was my only natural attack. Let's do that, then.

Unless you're ruling that I held on to the silver dagger (my preciousssss) when I went unconscious, I don't see any way to not provoke.

Grabbing the silver dagger will provoke whether I'm standing or prone; if I stand and provoke, the AoO goes against regular AC, if I grab the dagger and attack prone, the AoO goes against flat-footed AC and I take a penalty when attacking.

"Barely ... and just for now ..." Takemiru wheezes.

Takemiru will delay until Zerryd goes - anything useful that Takemiru does will provoke, and it's very likely to bring him down again. But he threatens while prone so Zerryd can Sneak Attack.

The other important bit about the One-Shot is that it is treated outside of PFS and more like an Adventure Path. This means that even if you were to TPK you will still receive a chronicle for completion of the story and not worry about your character.

Okay, I think I get it now. And now some other pieces are falling in place, like why some pregens lock characters and others don't.

Thanks.

So, um, maybe now would be a good time to ask for rules clarifications on dead pregens? :D Also, some general information on dead characters would be appreciated (I know I could probably read the Guide more carefully).

1. Normally, if a pregen dies, does the character to which the credit would be assigned die?

2. Normally, when a character (even a non-pregen) dies, does the character still get XP credit? Treasure Bundles? Reputation? Boons/items?

3. In this specific case, the character to which the credit will be applied (assuming credit is applied) has a legacy boon from Envoys' Alliance.

You are able to leverage your connections within the Society to raise funds for your allies’ resurrection, ensuring that everyone lives to see another adventure. You and your allies treat your effective character levels as 1 lower for the purpose of the raise dead spell and the resurrection ritual. This applies to both the level of the spell or ritual required, as well as to calculating the cost of the diamonds necessary to cast the spell or perform the ritual.

Could I use this boon on a pregen-induced death?

Takemiru should be down - the glaive is a nat 20 / crit, so 28 slashing plus 16 evil (he had 34 hp). He should also be at Dying 3, as he was Wounded 1 going into combat.

I just realized that Takemiru's Hunt Prey has to be renewed.

Takemiru Hunts Prey, and steps up to get close to the devil.

"But not too close, your breath smells like you've been eating onions."

Takemiru wrinkles his nose for effect, and slashes with both weapons - the silver dagger first.

Silver Dagger: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Slashing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Trident, flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 11 - 3 = 16
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

The GM's tracker shows you at 32 hp ... I think Kellsti did a Treat Wounds at some point.

Also, yeah, it has AoO. We know that from Part 1.

Takemiru steps back, hoping to draw the devil across his snare. He throws a trident at the devil.

Trident, thrown: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The trident re-appears in Takemiru's hand.

"You're only bored because you're ugly." Takemiru tries to provoke the devil.

Intimidating Glare: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

I took the liberty of rearranging everyone in the dining hall. Takemiru will open the secret door, and weave around the snares (hoping to catch him in one or both). Zerryd can jump in and flank.

Yeah, let's. We just need to decide how. Main hall has more room, and Takemiru can lay down another snare.

I rolled for Kellsti earlier. direct link to post

Is nice!

Takemiru's sense of direction tells him the cavern should join up just behind a wall in the bedroom.

When the group is done scanning the bedrooms, Takemiru suggests a plan for taking down the devil - he can take one silver dagger, Zerryd the striking silver dagger, and Kellsti and Jaithe can attack from range. We can draw him into the dining room if we need more space.

"Jaithe, you can cast mage hand ... can you yoink it?"

Takemiru will try to Squeeze in.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Rolling for Kellsti:

Treat Wounds, DC 15: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Healing: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 8, 2, 1) = 14

I suggest not waiting another 50 minutes for another. Shall we check out the bedrooms, or work on the devil first?

Takemiru will Administer First Aid to try and stanch the bleeding. That should bring the DC back down to 15, correct?

Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Persistent: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Persistent: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Persistent: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Takemiru would be at 20/56, he could use a Treat Wounds.

I suggest we try to relocate him into the pit. I think we have the advantage at range - Takemiru has the returning trident (20'), Jaithe daze (60') and telekinetic projectile (30'), Kellsti divine lance (30'), and Zerryd the hand crossbow (60'). It's possible he doesn't even have a ranged weapon (although he might have spells).

We'd need at least one successful Athletics check, but if he steps out, I think it would just be one check. Zerryd and Takemiru can Aid each other (maybe one Athletics to Aid by Grappling, while the other tumbles behind and pushes).

Kellsti, you have a silver dagger in your inventory. Maybe Zerryd can use that for melee strikes?

If we're out of combat, Kellsti can use Treat Wounds. We can also go investigate the bedrooms first and see if there's something there can help us.

Takemiru will move the kitchen snare and the bedroom snare to block in the devil.

Takemiru will suggest going across the cavern so they can keep an eye on the door while resting.

Takemiru can also use Natural Medicine outside of combat.

"How should we deal with this guy?" Takemiru will whisper. He suggests drawing the devil through a snare or two to soften him up. Can I take down a snare and set it up somewhere else?

We can try to hold the door, maybe push him into the pit if he comes out. Not sure we're going to survive outside the room either but fighting close quarters with him in there is probably worse.

Takemiru will Stride back out provoking the AoO and then Ready an action to close the door as soon as everyone else is out.

Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Takemiru would like to know if disabling the pentagram would affect the devil. Would that be a Recall Knowledge check?

Do we think we can win this fight? Based on how hard he hits, it's likely that either Zerryd or Takemiru will go down every round this fight.

We can retreat and see if he's confined to the pentagram.
