Talethia Lautari's page

Soleil, Meux, Talethia can still make a dayjob roll if they like (and have an eligible trained skill - craft/profession).

Oops, missed this.

Perform (Dance): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Hooray! Thanks for a fun adventure :). Now I want to make another PFS2e Kobold, hailing from this tribe. Impressed by the Pathfinder who could tame a basilisk and decided to go be one of these amazing powerful people too.

Talethia also apologizes for the mess in the doorway and offers to help clean up. She also thanks the gargoyle and the Kobolds for their help recovering the lost Pathfinder's body and effects.

"Do you mind if I stop and say goodbye to your basilisk pet? 'Stinkeye', you called him?" She asks before they leave. "He was very sweet, despite being a terrifying lizard that can turn people to stone..."

Seeing the big guy thinking about escaping, Talethia continues Inspiring Courage, shrugs, and decides to use her last spell of the day.

She casts one last Hideous Laughter, hoping he's as weak-willed as his minions were.

DC 14 Will Save

Talethia moves up (maintaining Inspiration) and uses her CLW wand on Gaskar.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

How many rounds has this combat been so far? She only had about 8 rounds of Inspiration left when we started this fight. On phone, can't easily move token on slide.

Talethia maintains her inspiring dance. As she does, she decides to try to clear out the field of combat. She goes around the melee and grabs an arm or leg or something of the unconscious Red mercenary and drags him further into the room, out of the grease and out from under everyone's feet.
Tiny hangs out in his familiar backpack and delays.

Tiny jumps back up on Talethia's back. Talethia dances away from the door, making some room for her companions to maneuver, maintaining her Inspiration. She will ready to cast another Hideous Laughter on the first enemy that walks through the grease but doesn't fall.

Talethia winks back at the gargoyle and works a little 'ta-da' pose into her dance.
"What can I say? I'm entertaining and distracting in many ways." She spins her scarf, letting the razor-sharp metal in it flash in the light. "If there weren't so many people gathered, I'd be attacking the bad guys too."

Not really having much else she can do in the crowded doorway, Talethia continues Inspiring Courage, and attempts to get Red laughing too.

Cast Hideous Laughter on Red. DC 14 will save

Delays until just before Talethia's next turn.

Talethia continues her inspiring dance and weaves in arcane gestures towards the mercenary who had laughed at his companion falling over. "That was pretty funny wasn't it?" Suddenly his companion's repeated falls seem even more humorous...

Hideous Laughter, DC 14 Will save

Tiny will delay.

The idea was for Tiny to find something to hide behind so that he could pop out and distract and/or give flanking to people. I forgot to go put him somewhere specific on the map.

Talethia starts tapping her feet, the beat inspiring courage in her allies. She unties the scarf from around her waist, then flips it around with a snap, exposing the razor-sharp blades woven into that side of the fabric.

"Let's cause some trouble, Tiny." She says over her shoulder. The little raccoon jumps down and finds a place where he can hide, but still watch for Talethia's signal.

Know: Local for #3: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Perception for #4: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Know (either) untrained for #5: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Survival for #6: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Sense Motive for #7: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Know (either) untrained for #8: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Know: Local for #10: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Talethia tries her best to piece it together and weaves the following into (or over, as need be) Soleil's story:
"A Dwarven hero looked upwards to the light. A fiery stone fell from the sky. The dwarves and duergar fought over a piece of it. The piece guided the dwarves to a new land rich in gold. A new home was built. But sadness came, and a horned, winged creature. The piece of stone from the sky was given to the grippli for safekeeping until it was needed again."

Bluff: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Hmm, well, Talethia has a +7 on Bluff. Unless she can tell the story in interpretive dance, she's only going to get her Cha bonus to telling a story... What exactly do we know about the history of this artefact?

Knowledge: History: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Knowledge: Religion: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Talethia is currently wishing she had gone to a fancy school like some other bards she's met. Her skills are self-taught while growing up on the streets, not learned in classrooms or with a tutor.

"Stinkeye is just fine, he might be a little sad because we left in the middle of a game of fetch he was enjoying, but he's safe. I was afraid he was going to try to follow me home!"

Talethia pulls out the longsword she's been carrying.

"This belonged to the friend we're looking for. Have you seen him, or find his body, maybe?"

It might be because I missed part 1, or because it's just been too long, but was there something other than finding our missing Pathfinder (and the usual treasure hunting) we were doing here?

Talethia begins dancing, Inspiring Courage in her allies.

Talethia supressess a sigh and casts detect magic.

Talethia shrugs and looks around at everyone else. She's done, and ready to get on with exploring the rest of the ruins.

At the Aspis agent's disparaging phrasing of "Pathfinders" (and while the woman is looking down at her feet still), Talethia scowls and makes a rude gesture at her. The ungrateful little.... When the agent looks up, though, Talethia is all smiles. The dancer has hung her starknife back on her belt, but keeps her hand not too far away from it.

"Hey, I can see how much you hate being beholden to a bunch of Pathfinders," Talethia says to the Agent. "How about you tell us who you are, what you know about this place, and what you were planning to do here, and we'll call it even, ok?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
(Plus whatever Aid bonuses added up to)

Talethia stands by with her starknife in-hand, but is mostly wondering to herself what they should do about the basilisk when they are done and leave the ruins.

Should they open the door and let it wander free? If they did, would it try to follow them home...?

Talethia will wait until Meux and Ari-Ani are done putting the food in the room and get out of the way. Then she will lead the basilisk in there, give it the toy, and try to slip out. Hopefully the basilisk doesn't get upset and break down the door and come after us...

Is everyone's position on the map updated? is Telethia distracting the basilisk out in the main area with the dwarven statue?

I have no idea what slide we're on or where any of us actually are. *Shrug*

"Hello there dangerous beastie." Talethia says brightly, trying very hard to keep nervousness out of her voice. "Do you want to play?"

Talethia will pick up the toy and start waving it in the air in a little dance. "Why don't we play for a bit while my friends go past you while I've got you distracted, huh?"

Perform (Dance) Fascinate: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Once she has its full attention, she will move in the opposite direction of the door her companions need to go through, taking the basilisk as far from the door as she can, keeping it facing away from them and focused on her.

"Let me know when you're all past, friends, so I can end the game and get the $&#@ out of here." She says in a sing-song voice, keeping the extremely dangerous "puppy" focused and happy on her dance.

She is trying to keep her eyes off of its eyes as much as she can, but needs to be able to see if it's keeping its attention on her. She isn't extremely worried about its gaze attack at the moment, because she figures it's not likely to use it on her right now, or else the fun fetch game will end.

"I know a spell to levitate a small object." Talethia replies. "I could probably float this into the room. But I have to stay somewhat close, within 30 feet or so. How big is the room the basilisk is in, Gaskar? How far back into the room is it? And which way are we trying to go while it's distracted?"

Anyone have a spell that can move a light object? Maybe Unseen Servant? We can play keep away and lead it to a room then lock it in.

I know Mage Hand. How big is this toy? Under 5lbs, hopefully?

So, theoretically, if it didn't feel threatened, and was happily playing fetch with someone while everyone else passed by, it wouldn't activate its Gaze... Right?

Or, say, if someone was Fascinating it...

Talethia pulls the leather fetch toy out of her backpack. "I've got the thing's toy." She whispers. "The Kobolds were teaching it to fetch, though, so I'm not quite sure if it will just sit and chew on this if we toss it in, or if it will bring it back and want to play catch with us..."

Talethia will quietly follow and keep an eye out for Kobolds, or the basilisk.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Heal or Engineering (both untrained): 1d20 ⇒ 10

Linguistics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

"Hey, runes... Can anyone read them? It looks kind of like dates, that get closer and closer together as they go down."

Same here.

Talethia kind of thinks along the same lines as Gaskar. If she was dumb enough to get herself turned to stone, she's probably not going to be much help to us.

Talethia shakes her head. "I don't know if I want to use a dose of the stuff on her until after we've dealt with the basilisk. I would hate for some of us to get petrified and then not be able to cure them because we wasted it on an Aspis agent when we aren't even sure if she has been here less than an hour or not."

Talethia is trying to be quiet as she moves through the room.
Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

But she steps on some crumbled stone as she's looking at the Dwarf statue.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
She notices the pickaxe marks on the statue.

Talethia will secure the sword to her pack (unless Ki Chin wants it badly). It isn't quite her style, but she knows how to use it and a magic sword might come in handy (assuming it's not cursed). She will follow Gaskar wherever he's headed.

Cast Detect Magic.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

"Hey, it's a magic sword. Can you tell the enchantment, Ki Chin? Or Meux? I'm not much of an academic with magical stuff-" Talethia shrugs. "-If magic works, it works, I don't really study how or why."

She will glance around the room to check for anything else magical while she's got the spell active.

Talethia decides to take the fetch bag with her when she leaves the room. It might be a good distraction if they run into the toy's owner somewhere up ahead.

Before leaving the room, Talethia wants to see if she can figure out, from the look of the leather bag, what real-life thing the creature has been getting trained to Fetch. Or anything else she can see about the bag.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Survival: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

"Looks like someone's been teaching a big animal to Fetch something." Talethia whispers. "And, uh, those stone pellets over there look like dung... Anyone know what kind of creature poops stones?"

Knowledge (Engineering or History, Both Untrained): 1d20 ⇒ 13

"Hmm, looks like better quality work in here."

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Knowledge (Geography): 1d20 ⇒ 2

Talethia doesn't hear or see anything significant herself, but takes the cue from Gaskar and quietly unwraps her bladed scarf from her waist.

Talethia:
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Tiny (in case it's something he's likely to see and understand with an Int of 2):
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Whatever it is in the room back there, Talethia didn't see it.

Perception (Tiny): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

And neither did Tiny.

Talethia is following along.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Talethia nods to Gaskar. "Let's continue, and see what we can find." She starts stepping gingerly down the hall. She is trying to avoid the pressure plates where possible, just in case.

"I guess so." Talethia shrugs. "They don't seem willing to talk, I don't think we're going to get any information out of them without force. Trying to force one if them to talk might bring the whole colony down on us. I don't really feel like fighting off a horde of Kobolds..."

Poking through their characters on the boards a bit, they haven't posted since Jan 11 with any of them. Hope they're ok and it's just the website glitch that's stymied them...

(There's a player in one of my other games who the last thing anyone heard from her, almost 2 weeks ago, was "Sorry everyone, not feeling very well this weekend." We're kind of worried about her.)

Talethia shakes her head. "I don't speak it."

"Next room, I guess?" Talethia says to Ki Chin.
