The Great Drake's page

Chronicle looks good. Thanks for GM-ing, Tiger.

And it was indeed a nice little scenario. I like this region as a setting.

But the new title might be the ‘Liquifier of the Lingering Leeches’, if he were able to hit any of them.

I wonder what the Great Drake's new title will be :)

The Great Drake is facing a Great Dilemma. :)

"Being swallowed whole or sucked out alive, it doesn't matter to The Great Drake. " Drake mutters to himself while hearing Eddie correcting Cal's assumptions.
"As none of that will happen to The Great Drake! He doesn't intend to be the next meal or cocktail of these wiggly and disgusting bugs" he says very seriously and in a determined manner.

"The Great Drake thanks you, Eddie, for your trust. Indeed, it is always good to have The Great Drake in the group!"
Drake is a bit perplexed by the mention of Eddie's dreams though.
"It might be true that, if The Great Drake were a vegetable, he would have also dreamed of wet and lush forests. Since it is not the case, the dreams of The Great Drake are rather filled with glory, fame and dragons!'

The 'Lion of Katapesh' is following the Blood-lapping Lioness to the southern log.

"Okay, Okay, The Great Drake is coming, if that's what everybody dearly wishes!
And then he adds in a self-convinced manner: " The Great Drake will also follow Cal so as to make sure that he is not going to fall heads on in another trap!'
(Drake surely knows how to deal with people).

sorry i meant ´Lychees’ instead of ´litchis’

Hearing that he has to go to an unknown location just because he is a ´masher’ (Drake can be very sensitive sometimes), Drake reacts by saying:
’Sorry pal, but the Great Drake is not going anywhere. His contract with this green newbie’s momma does not include a ‘go and fetch’ mission clause.’
He was pointing to Edmund when he mentioned the ´green newbie’.
’Besides, the Great Drake has no interest whatsoever in trying out this fruit salad of yours, whether it be with peaches or ´litchis ’! he adds in a very blunt and rude manner.
As it is now obvious to everyone, Drake has a pretty low intellectual quotient (including ´emotional’ intelligence).

Drake hurls his huge war hammer to a point near the panther while yelling  ‘Hey Kitty cat. Leave this frog alone!’

attack roll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Drake also uses his strength to build a shelter:

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13

Hero point

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22

And manages to build something, thanks to the guidance of Toady.

Drake tries to shake the infection off, thanks to his natural resistance.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Happy holidays!

I've got an emergency so I will be very slow in posting today and tomorrow.

Turning to Callistos:
" You should tell the truth: you did not deliberately set off their trap to draw them out! You walked straight into it and nearly died down there. By the time you regained consciousness, The Great Drake has single-handedly vanquished the majority of the thugs!"

Replying to Ecmund:
"For the adventures of The Great Drake, you can ask any bard in Golarion and they will tell you plenty! And they have already been chronicled for the posterity!"
Then he thinks for a moment:
" Keeping watch is a good idea, we should always listen to the plants! The Great Drake will start, as he always go to bed very late!"

Finally he adds:
"As for producing fire, The Great Drake can do that but only when he's infuriated. So you have to show him an enemy first!"

I have only played PbP with block initiative but I feel it's more convenient.

"The Great Drake is ready too. Actually he was born ready!"

It seems that the Paizo servers were down tonight. I was not able to post for a full 30 mins.

Done

Just checked in.

"What a crappy weather! What are we doing in this gods-forsaken land!"

Just behind Bo, Watson and Hasira7, stands a very big (6'10), bronze-skinned silhouette with jet black hair and brown piercing eyes. He carries a satchel and a huge warhammer in his hand. He also wears what appears to be the hide of a lion over a chain mail along with numerous heavy gold necklaces around his broad neck.

He looks quite impressive, with several scars across his face and chest, including some fresh ones, and an intimidating glare from his hazel eyes.

While Keleshites are often proud people with a great sense of superiority, you've noticed that Drake is clearly more than that, with a sense of natural arrogance that makes him believe that he's above everything and everyone.

While joining the table and taking a seat, Drake responds to Ecmund in a very direct and rude manner, with a strong Kelish accent:
"The Great Drake has indeed great instincts. The greatest of all: the draconic instinct!"

" But you are clearly mistaken. It is not the mention of your name that was enough for all these adventurers to sail here. It is rather the opportunity for them to follow The Great Drake in his adventures. Because taverns all across the Inner Sea are already sharing the name and glories of The Great Drake, also known as the Lion of Katapesh, aka the Destroyer of Dragons, aka the Terror of Trolls, aka the Grabber of Giants, aka the Crusher of Crabs, aka the Killer of Kobolds, aka the Smasher of Smilglen the Squalid Squid, aka the Bludgeoner of the Bloody Barbers!"

You will find out in B-17 :)

just so you know -- except for the leader, all of the thugs had 8 hp. You made combat so much easier :)

And quicker too :)

There was a leader? The Great Drake did not notice! :)

I also have a level 3 character who can participate in it.

Mine looks good too. Likewise, thanks for a fun game everyone and thanks to GM Tiger for running it!

"The Great Drake must acknowledge that Nibbler Jr., son of Nibbler. was very brave! He saw him charging head first to the ruffians, as if the fate of the group was depending on it!"

I wonder what title Drake will add to his list after this... and remind me to stay on his good side... :)

You will find out in B-17 :)

Hello everyone!

Emboldened by his recent kills, Drake climbs up the stairs in a frenzy rage.

Once at the top of the stairs and in front of Pink, he tries to demoralize him:

"YYYREEEEAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGH"

Intimidation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

He then tries to shake off his head with a big swing of his maul, still on fire, using the flank given by the squirrels.

Maul vs. FF: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 = 23

Bludg + Fire: 1d12 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 = 15

◆ Stride
◆ Demoralize
◆ Strike

Seeing his own blood being spilled from the razor's slash, Drake gets completely crazy (Rage).

He then screams with rage at the ruffian in front of him (Black)

"YYYREEEEAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGH"

intimidation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

He then swings his maul, now on fire, and tries to hit him with an enraged blow.

Maul: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20

Bludg + Fire : 1d12 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 17

◆ Rage
◆ Demoralize
◆ Strike

"Come back here, you weasel!" shouts Drake to Wiston.

With Wiston escaping his grasp, Drake decides to forget about him and to focus on the most immediate threat.

Seeing the rain of sling bullets falling on poor Callistos, Drake rushes forward to get into contact with one of the thugs (red) and tries to smash him with a big swing of his two-handed warhammer.

Maul: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16

Bludgeoning: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16

◆ Stride
◆ Stride
◆ Strike

Given that Drake is at the bottom of the stairs, my understanding is that he has cover from Black and Orange, right?

Prof Bun Bun, which category did you find that avatar pic? I'm probably gonna get a poppet ancestry myself once I can afford one... good thing I wasn't drinking coffee last night or it would have ended up on my keyboard after seeing a stuffed rabbit hurry down an alleyway! :)

I think it's under the 'item' category for the avatars.

Drake will delay after Kara the quick.

As Wiston tries to escape, Drake suddenly moves and tries to grab him,
Reaction (↺).

Grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"Hey, scumbag! Where do you think you're going?

Drake was in search mode, did he notice something out of the ordinary? Also, Drake was next to Wiston and about to grab him, could he have a reaction to do that at the beginning of his turn? When is Wiston's turn in the initiative tracker?

So Drake cannot do anything at all? Not even a simple intimidating glare while saying nothing?

I kinda forgot about the infamy part when Kara shoved him, though I shoved her back so it kinda balanced out :). Besides, remember you're all in a public place -- if anything happens you won't be believed that you're victims since it will appear that you're instigating something :)

In that case, and to prevent any bad reputation falling on his companions, Drake will not grab him and tries to intimidate him instead, to stay in place and to keep quiet.

This narrow alley is a public place? So people are watching us right now?

Be advised that assaulting Wiston can generate infamy as he is unarmed and hasn't done anything to your party. You have suspicions that he may not what he seems to be, but until you can prove it that's just all it is -- suspicions.

Drake considers that the best move to protect his companions and himself is to hold Wiston in place while Kara is checking the house, so that he won't shoot them in the back, backstab them, activate or trigger something, go away etc.

This is out of self defense, given all the clues that we are led into an ambush, and not an assault as Drake is not harming him in any way.

Drake is not part of the Pathfinder Society so I am not sure how infamy works in that case.
Besides, Kara just shoved him to the ground a moment ago and there was no infamy involved, even though the 'shove' action has the 'attack' trait.

Anyway, if it's too complicated, Drake will not grab him and tries to intimidate him instead (yes, Drake can be a bully sometime :) ).

Drake takes one last, long puff from his cigarillo and throws the cigarillo's butt aside. He then uses his free hand to grab the collar of Wiston's shirt, with a sudden movement.

"You've heard the professor, pal? So you're staying close to The Great Drake from now on!"

He adds in a very menacing manner, with his intimidating gaze from his bloodshot eyes:

" And don't even think of shouting or warning your acolytes, scumbag!"

Demoralize: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

"The Great Drake is not going anywhere, lad!"

Drake stares at Winston: "If you're staying behind, The Great Drake is going to stay with you."

Wiston looks at the Professor.

"My parents asked about the well-being of the orphans they sponsored. They never got a response either from the orphanage or from Stanian. When they dug deeper, they found out that neither the orphanage nor Stanian existed."

Can Drake try a 'sense motive' action when Wiston replied that to the Professor?

Drake stops for a moment and looks behind the group, looking for anyone or anything suspicious.

Not sure I will be able to post before Sunday.

After a few seconds, he then adds: "Is your family for real?"

He then whispers to himself:
"Such a bunch of stupid cowards!

Having listened carefully to Winston's story, Drake intervenes and responds to him in a rude manner:

"Well, well, well! Let me guess: your parents decided to trust and make business with the first conman that came around your house and willfully gave all their belongings to this so-called 'noble'! And not only that, but having realized they have been completely ripped off, they decided to do absolutely nothing, so that this Taldan scum can continue to swindle other morons! Did I miss something?"

I actually like the lisp, though it gives me the image of Daffy Duck. Though I will say that when I read it the first time I almost spit my coffee laughing. :)

The Great Drake -- I noticed you added a new title to the list... :)

yes, indeed! :)

"The Great Drake is awfully sorry, poor fellow, but we're honorable adventurers and not hitmen. The Great Drake is pretty sure you'll find what you need at the docks or at your favorite thieves' guild."
