Thelonious Junebug's page

Junebug sings, maintains Hymn of Healing, and maintains Spiritual Weapon.

spiritual weapon: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 1 = 16

Sorry. I'll target Red.

Thelonious concentrates on Derrikk's fast healing and casts Spiritual Weapon

Strongman's Mallet: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

No Inspire this round.

Thelonious harmonizes a Hymn of Healing and casts Inspire Courage.

+6 fast healing to Derrikk and +1/+1 to all, 1 round

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen of the watch. We are the performers and explorers that Constable Paldreen told you about. We'd like to have a peek in the old Moonstone Hall. If there's a waiver for us to sign, I hope you have a writing plume. I didn't bring mine."

Make an Impression?: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29

Thelonious will ask around town what people know about Moonstone Hall. Depending on what he learns, he should be ready to venture out after that.

"Alright, you're in. It ain't a union job but the perks are good. Axel will find you a bunk. The Flamboni Sisters run the chow line. Mourdaine is pearl diver this week - next week it's you. Elizia is not liable for any unattended personal items eaten by Mr. Tickles. Any questions?"

"Humperdinck makes a good point, daddy-o. Are you sure you're gonna have our backs when it counts?"

"Hey, so, what's your story? Were you just here jobbing with Dusklight and her creeps? Or are you all in on her Menagerie of Mediocrity?"

Make an Impression: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

Hang in there, Humperdinck!

Thelonious tries a lingering inspire courage…

oratory: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

And sustains hymn of healing on Adora

Thelonious decides to show off his new tricks and casts a harmonized hymn of healing on Adora (giving her fast healing 6) and then again casts inspire courage (duration 1 round).

|Nobody messes around inside our tent but us!"

lingering inspire?: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24

Yes. +1/+1 for three rounds.

Thelonious then bravely (and judiciously) moves forward and to the side.

*your bard takes a theatrical bow*

"Mistress Ducklight couldn't be afraid of a little competition, could she? I mean she employs such grand talents as yourselves."

"Oh, and ah- as for these threats of death, I assume you're just being dramatic. We like to resolve our conflicts with rap battles. Dying of embarrassment is a hard way to go."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

"I must say, my lady," Thelonious says to the elf, "Your outfit is captivating. Can you point us to the thrift shop where you got it, our clowns are in need of new rags."

Thelonious draws on his (new and improved) background as a fortune teller to perform a reading for a member of the audience. Using some sleight of hand, a bit of first world magic, and no small amount of showmanship, Thelonious calls on the spirits to aid the guest in discerning her future. Flickering lights, spooky sounds, and ghostly apparitions thrill the crowd before revealing the intrepid guest's future. Weal or woe, the act always leaves the crowd on the edge of their seats.

It won't be massively useful for us unless we find ourselves going underwater or somesuch. Should we sell it?

Checking in after a long hiatus and glad I wasn't holding things up! Thelonious is leveled and ready to go whenever we get back in gear.

Apart from animal envy, what did people get from their level-ups?

Dude, I'm completely swamped. I'm getting to my games once or twice a week and feeling terrible about it. Things will probably be this way for me until the end of the year. Sorry guys! I'm doing my best!

I took Hymn of Healing for a bard feat, and Bon Mot for a skill feat. I think TJ needed some offensive options so I took Agonizing Despair as my new spell and swapped out Familiar's Face for Paralyze.

I think Bon Mot would be a good way to set up a one-two with spells that target Will saves.

I'm not sure what Junebug is going to get at level 6. I was keen to take the familiar master archetype and build out a minion, but then I played PFS with a bard who had the Hymn of Healing. It just appeals to my clericky tendencies too much to resist! So, I think I'll be going for that, and later, Harmonize.

Junebug renews Inspire Courage for one round, then flings a small stone at the Will o Wisp.

1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 = 27
3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5, 4, 3) + 4 + 1 = 17

Thelonious shouts encouragement 1 round and casts magic weapon on Derrikk's bow.

Thelonious pulls out a scroll of [i[Glitterdust[/i] and casts it centered on the "campfire."

I'm not totally clear on surprise rounds in 2e. I think a hostile action just triggers initiative?

Thelonious would definitely have woven that detail into his account of our adventures, without being too heavy-handed about it. Also, Matt, thanks for that narrative! I can picture this scene of us ragamuffins briefing the gruff sheriff and getting a flashback!

we actually might want to invest in some of that. my only experience with 2e so far suggests that we need to deal with invis (will o wisps in PFS. ouch.)

That sounds good to me. Sorry to punt the bookkeeping to you, Brian. You're always so on top of it, I just assumed you were keeping a running tally!

Two scrolls of glitterdust would cost 24 gp. So, after them we'd have 70 to split 4 ways or 17.5 apiece.

Alex, I owe you 5.5 from a previous purchase.

"Orm, what's the petty cash situation? I think two scrolls of Shiny Mist ought to do us."

24 gp if we have it

We should grab a few scrolls of Faeire Fire at 12 gp apiece (and generally start stocking up on the usual solutions to mid-level problems like invisibility, darkness, etc.)

"We've got him on the ropes. Now, keep it up!" Thelonious shouts in encouragement.

+1/+1 for 1 round

projectile: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 1 = 22
3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 2, 1) + 4 + 1 = 9

I'm guessing there is nothing I can do get the bleed off Brian (except to heal him to full?)

If so, I'm just going to delay. I'm running low on spell slots and this fight looks almost over.

IDK how good your Medicine skill is, but you can use a two-action "Administer First Aid" check to stop bleed. That's the only other thing that will do it.

Thelonious will repeat himself.

1 round +1/+1

tkp: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 1 = 22
3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3, 5) + 4 + 1 = 17

Thelonious keeps up his oratory and fires another small stone at the beast.

1 round: +1/+1

telekinetic projectile: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 1 = 18
3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 3) + 4 + 1 = 13

Jason, I'm glad you're getting some rest! Enjoy it!

Thelonious will renew the party's inspiration for 1 round, then cast Telekinetic Projectile from where he is.

1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 = 27
3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) + 4 + 1 = 15

I find that's how the math works against tougher foes in 2e. You're adding 15 to your first attack, so you should hit at least half the time.

religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"Well, that's awful."

Thelonious casts Spiritual Weapon to attack that thing.

1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 1 = 21
1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

Seeing that Humperdinck is taking damage from Orm, Thelonious moves up to protect him, then animates a stone and flings it at Pink.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 1 = 28
bludgeoning: 3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5, 5) + 4 + 1 = 18

Thelonious gives a rousing speech.

Perform: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

Lingering Inspire Courage for 3 rounds (+1 to attack and damage)

Orm moves up to the first bunch of wolves, enters Mountain Stance, and flurries against Orange.

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
2d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

1d20 + 14 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 5 = 14
2d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 8) + 4 = 17

Thelonious trots after Orm with the bag of holding over his shoulder.

...unless someone else wants to carry it.

Cheers, guys. I've got to spend more time on these posts as well. So much opportunity to flesh out world and character.

re: the cloak, Thelonious is no very stealthy but the fading into the background bit might be useful. IDK what Jason's build is all about. But Jason if you want it you can have it. The lockpicks, etc. should definitely go to Derrick.

Thelonious, curious as denizens of the First World so often are, inches closer and closer to the mold, wanting to see how close he can get without setting it off. He watches the yellow stuff carefully as he toes the invisible line, and when a ripple disturbs the shaggy rows of fungal fibers, he stops, raises to his tiptoes and leans out still farther. Standing on one leg, with his other crooked behind him for balance, he leans toward the bag and when he sees he can go absolutely no further, casts mage hand to drag it closer.

Orm will wave the team forward when they don't respond, and then he'll explore the "camp" room to the north.

** spoiler omitted **

Sorry, Brian!

"Hmm, I don't know what to make of all this. I guess somebody used to camp here?"

Thelonious picks up the journal and peruses it.

"Well, I bet Paldreen would be interested in this. Maybe she can tell us how the story ends, anyway. In the meantime, though, Wanderer's Folly sounds like a place we should definitely check out and I'm well into free loot in nearby glades."

"Standing behind Orm is not as safe as some people think," Thelonious says to Fidget. "You know, imagine a general leading a great army. If she led from the second rank you'd say she was leading from the front. So, I don't what this 'in the back with Thelonious' is all about."

"We might also be able to help with your troubles. We've been known to help out from time to time."

"Yes, indeed, Fidget. We are from the circus. We've just come to town and we'll be setting up down the way. We're always on the lookout for talented performers and wayward youths. If you've got the right stuff you can join our traveling family! But, before we get to that, let me ask you why is no one supposed to come down here?"

"Entertainment, you say? Well, have I got news for you!"

Thelonious bursts into a rap about the circus coming to town (I don't have it in me to write one today).

perform (oratory): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

"It is I, Thelonious Junebug! Here to deliver you from an otherwise boring afternoon! To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?"

I'll follow Orm up the stairs. Should we all go in case the parley doesn't go well?

Thelonious does a theatrical bow, as if to say, 'go right ahead'.
