Takeshi Kaijitsu's page

Attack Defensively w/Crane Stance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Takeshi shifts his stance and attacks the nearest warrior.
Attack Defensively w/ Crane Stance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Takeshi moves away from the shoreline just into the darkness on the edge of the light, the campfire placed between himself and the approaching enemy.

Draw javelin with movement. If movement is 30' or less then ready to throw when the Ulfen appear in full illumination (for no miss chance).

Perception (day): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Perception (night): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Keeping away from the creature, Takeshi points a finger at the large creature and a beam of searing heat shoots from it's tip, boring into the creature.

Scorching Ray vs. engaged foe(-4): 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 4 = 18 vs touch AC
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 2) = 14

Takeshi withdraws from the creature and sheaths his blade.

I believe that scent just allows a creature to pinpoint the square an adjacent opponent is in, but not see it. It would know which square to attack, but there would still be a 50% miss chance.

Takeshi moves towards the rhino drawing his blade. Muttering an incantation, he causes his blade to crackle with energy before he strikes at the creature.

Attack vs. Blind Rhino: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage w/ Shocking Grasp: 1d8 + 3 + 4d6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (3, 2, 6, 3) = 18

Takeshi is only proficient with the katana. Would that proficiency work with this bokken?

Takeshi reverently takes out the wooden katana and stares at it long and hard. A bokken model of Suishen... Incredible! He takes a few swings with it to see if it handles similarly to his katana.

Tak hates Sandru, so he won't be asking. There may also be more Kaijutsu heritage in there, so he won't be smashing the chests. He'll just stew, I guess.

And who knows what treasures (if any) may be found in the two big chests we found.

Did anyone ever open the other chests we found? What was in them?

Takeshi frowns. "What do I care about a trade route? We're following our heritage. Why don't you take your caravan and go make your profits, we have something real to do."

I don't seem to have relationship scores listed anywhere, and I don't really recall receiving them. I did receive the 400 xp for relationships, so according to a Discussion post I saw during my search, it means I have at least a 6, presumably with Ameiko.

Takeshi returns the hug. "Sis! I am so happy to see you're better! I was so worried!" he whispers to her before stepping back with a blush, "er... and I hope you had a good nap. You're getting lazy in your old age," he says with a wink and smile, squeezing her arm.

He then reaches back into the chest to bring out the wooden box containing the seal. "Here it is sis... The family Seal... I am not sure we should open it again, though. One of the visions... the box prevents the oni from finding it and us."

"We also brought two other chests, but we haven't been able to open them to see what was inside."

Takeshi stands from his reverie, closing the box and packing it away to be brought back to camp. "Sis...?" He turns to Ahiko, "I think you're right! We need to go check on her!" He then turns back at her question with a frown. "You might be right. There could be something important in the other chests, too," he says, testing the weight of the other chests.

The feeling of destiny washes over him as Takeshi leans over to examine the box. His hands feel along it's ridges and designs for a moment. "The Seal, presumably," he responds absently, before trying to open the box.

"So... according to my... grandfather... there is a Seal hidden away in this room. Presumably in one of these chests," Takeshi says as he approaches the darkwood chests.

"I don't understand why he would want us to bring the Seal to father... I doubt he'd be interested in it at all. Hopefully Ameiko will be better when we get back with it. She'll know what to do," he then uses his sheathed blade to nudge each chest. Would grandfather be guarding trapped chests? And not mention the traps when given the chance? Hmmm... Unlikely... he shrugs and then tries to open them.

Takeshi spares a quick glance at Kalistrine before returning his gaze to the wraith. "Only from the painting that hangs in the dining room of the family estate. I've seen it many times when I lived there as a child. He is... was... my grandfather, Rokuro Kaijitsu."

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Takeshi's eyes grow wide as he recognizes the wraith from paintings he had seen when he lived with his parents. "... Sofu Kaijitsu?" he asks hesitantly in Tien.

Takeshi, in desperation to help his drained ally, lashes out with his electrified katana once again, channeling his arcane power in order to guide it's blade.

Attack Defensively w/ Arcane Accuracy: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 3 = 27
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 3 = 29

Damage w/ Shocking Grasp: 2d8 + 8 + 8d6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 8 + (1, 4, 3, 6, 6, 5, 3, 3) = 51

Takeshi swings his blade but, once again, the creature is too swift.

Attack Defensively: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Takeshi swings his blade once again.

Attack Defensively: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

*facepalm*

Takeshi takes another swing at the creature.

Attack Defensively: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Takeshi takes a step around the creature, moving to set up a flank with Kalistrine before swinging his crackling blade at it.

Free action: 5' step to try to get to a flanking position (or get closer to one
Standard action: attack.
Attack Defensively: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 +2 if flanking

Takeshi mutters to the words to a spell and channels it into his weapon before moving to attack the creature.

If possible move to flank (avoiding AoOs)

Standard action: Cast Shocking Grasp
Move action: move to baddie
Free action: Spellstrike attack
Attack Defensively: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

I dinged to 4.

HP: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Poop.

Takeshi relaxes a bit with a sigh. "Our visit was short, but I think we have defeated their leadership there. I can only hope that Ameiko's cure will be found in our next foray. Do you recall her words, now that she is speaking Varisian?"

Takeshi brings his power to bear once again bringing forth a the spell causing his blade to light up before moving to the last corby and unleashing the blade's energy.

Assuming last corby (on Kelda and Ahiko) isn't within 5'.
Standard action: Cast Shocking Grasp (using Pearl of Power)
Move action: to get to corby.
Free action: spellstrike.

Attack (Spellstrike): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (5, 2, 3) = 17

Note: if corby is 5' away then use spell combat. Full round casting, 5' step, spellstrike, then normal strike, while using Arcane Accuracy.

So First attack would have -2 (spell combat) +3 (arcane accuracy).

Possible second attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 2 + 3 = 25
Possible crit: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 2 + 3 = 8
Possible Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

If the corby is adjacent then do the above while casting defensively
Cast Defensively DC 17, if required: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Concentration check was for casting defensively, so no AoO. Spell Combat allows the Magus to cast and attack (-2 on attacks). The spell gives a free touch attack/Spellstrike on casting. Thus two attacks.

Takeshi focuses his power and casts a spell causing his katana to crackle with energy again before he swung the blade at the nearby corby.

Swift Action: Arcane Accuracy
Full-Round Action: Spell combat, casting Shocking Grasp

Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Attack #1: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 2 + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (5, 4, 2) = 15

Attack #2: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 2 + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Takeshi maneuvers a bit more around the corby, stepping into flanking position with Kalistrine.

Attack Defensively w/ flanking: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Takeshi maneuvers slightly hoping to get closer to a flanking position and attacks the corby.

Attack Defensively: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 +2 if able to get into flanking with a 5' step

Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Takeshi casts a spell, causing electricity to crackle along his blade and then moves in to attack the nearest corby.

Standard: Cast Shocking Grasp
Move: to nearest corby
Free: Spellstrike

Spellstrike defensively: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage w/ Shocking Grasp: 1d8 + 3 + 3d6 ⇒ (8) + 3 + (6, 4, 5) = 26

Takeshi attacks the staggered corby.

Attack Defensively w/ Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26
Damage w/ +1 mgc wpn: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

Crit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13

I stand corrected, actually. I hadn't noticed the hit the previous round as the text looked the same (I noticed when I was searching for something else).

Takeshi grits through the pain concentrates his arcane power into his blade and then makes motions to cast a small spell before lashing out with his blade, leaving an arcane mark upon the corby attacking him.

Full-round: Spell Combat - Arcane Mark
[ooc]Arcane Pool to turn blade to +1 for 1 min.[/dice]

Cast Defensively DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Attack #1: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 2 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Attack #2: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 2 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 2 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13

Actually it looks like the crit wouldn't have been confirmed, thanks to that old Ward that Ahiko had put on him during the last combat (and didn't seem to put on anyone else since). He hadn't failed any saves (and I had forgotten to include the bonus in my saves anyhow), nor had he been hit until then, so his AC was 22. It dispels the ward (bringing his AC back down to 20), but at least it stops the crit.

Takeshi moves towards the nearest dire corbie (looks like there's space now) and attacks, his blade going wide.

Attack Defensively: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

I am going to be away for a week starting tomorrow (back on the 9th). I might be near some wifi at times, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to post. Bot me as appropriate.

Takeshi moves to attack a nearby enemy.

Attack Defensively: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Crit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

The link has an extra space in it near the end (before the -r08). That's why it wasn't working. Remove the space and you got it.

Takeshi glances at the writing and then shakes his head. "Nor I. Such horrible penmanship, and the scribbles are everywhere. I'd have been drummed out of the Academy for work like this."

Takeshi moves in and swings his blade at the creature.

Move in (preferably into flanking with Kali if possible without attracting an AoO
Attack: (flanking not included)

Attack Defensively w/ Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Takeshi takes another swing at the remaining trog but, once again, his swing goes wide.

Attack Defensively w/ Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8

Yeah that's what I thought. No worries.

Unable to strike at the troglodytes at his current position, Takeshi dives and rolls through the door past Kalistrine and the creatures surrounding her. Completing his roll he swings his katana at the nearby trog.

In Crane Stance
Move action: Tumble through Kali's space (AC is 16 at this time). Looks like there's a table in the room so Tak will end up by the bench below the trog in the corner if possible (it's hard to determine distance), otherwise below Kali. He goes half speed after the first 5' to the door (or after he's with Kali if the door offers cover and thus disallows AoO
Acrobatics DC=Trog CMD+2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Standard action: attack SE trog
Attack Defensively: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Boo. Dramatic entrance but nothing to show for it.

EDIT: Here is the map.

@GMEDWIN: You may want to consider putting the map link in the game description area, so it will always be on top, regardless of what page we're looking at.

Takeshi approaches the door behind Kalistrine, his blade at the ready, and settles into a battle stance for when the door opens.

Did I miss some more xp? I'm 1042 away from level. Hmm, but I guess I was behind the newbies anyhow. Oh well. Maybe another decapus or two.

"I could use some healing," Takeshi says. "I took quite a whallop when we first got in here. Not a very gracious host. Say, where did that old man go, anyhow?"

Tak's at 12/24

Takeshi moves around his allies, staying out of the corby's reach before stepping in and slashing at it, katana in both hands.

Attack Defensively w Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Takeshi attacks the nearby corbie (on Ahiko) but, being on his back, misses the creature this time around. He then stands (drawing an AoO from the corbie).

Attack corbie defensively w/ Spell combat
Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 4 - 2 = 6

Move: Stand from prone

"Agreed, although we should take care in case they've discovered our previous entry."
