Theophilus Flink's page

I'll toss in a couple options :-)

For a skillsy rogue type, Theophilus Flink - Telekinetic Thief
For a tank - Sun Wuqian - Multiclass monstrosity
For a support character - Vlazis Chibuzo, the Beloved - Buff/Debuff Cleric

I don't have any overlap there (I'm in a Season 4 campaign on another character, so basically whatever crossover exists I've either played or have scheduled), so I'll opt out. Thanks for the offer though!

Could you please remove me/Theophilus from the active players/characters of this campaign, GM? Thanks!

Chronicle looks good - thanks a bunch for running!

Profession (merchant): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Minimum 50gp received due to Slush Fund

"We might've been able to seal the deal after the auction, but we got hustled out of there mighty fast. I think Irith is at least a good lead to follow up on."

Theophilus looks wistfully at Myrosype but slowly shakes his head, reluctantly deciding not to turn on his allies. "Today's not the day for our partnership. We'll have to find another project." I'll reluctantly pass on the deal

As soon as he's out the door, Theophilus beelines over to Irith and spills just about everything Myrosype had to say. "So you see, now's the time to strike; cement your legacy and begin a new era with plenty of black in your ledger."

Profession (merchant): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 +tentacles?

Kk, it's something where I'm intrigued, but don't want to drag everyone else into it against their will.

Is this a situation where I'd spike things for everyone if Theophilus took the deal?

It's probably what he would do if he'd been called in solo, but he could be peer pressured into not screwing everyone over in favor of the Aspis :-p

I thought he'd swapped it so that this time he was working on the docks, and I'd be able to work on her separate influence :-/

Sorry for the confusion, Temel sounds fine

Theophilus stalks around the party as though someone had shoved nettles in his drawers. "This place so neatly folded away its gonna give me hives."

The contract's details don't draw his attention, "I'm usually more of a 'paid in full kinda' guy." None trained

However, another chance to seal the deal with Irith seems very important. "Look, you know that the work you've done has put this place on the upswing - now's the time to make big moves, so you can reap the profits once someone else has all the headaches. Especially if you're already scooping up the docks, it could be a great time to really cement your hold outside of the vagaries of politics."

Profession (merchant): 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 - 2 = 28 +Tentacle bonus

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 For useful topics for Cyran if relevant :-|

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Theophilus, despite his slight frame and unassuming build, is no stranger to all sorts of odd situations - choking down a tentacle is nothing new. He's quite happy to serve as second fiddle to Toral with Lady Irith, but wants to make certain that they don't dilute their efforts too far.

Was Toral's check for the docks or for another district? If it's for the docks then we're close enough that that roll won't need an aid, and I might just eyeball someone else to get a sense of what they're up to...

Theophilus keeps his eyes constantly on the auctioneer's desk.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
...Well nearly constantly.

"We should chat with Irith - she bid once, she'd probably be open to a second try. I've got a pretty killer opening if someone wants to use it too."

Aid Something?: 1d20 ⇒ 5 +1 if knowledge, -1 if charisma

I'm sorry - I misunderstood and thought that the Sense Motive was used to discover interests, strengths, and weaknesses as opposed to discovering interests, OR strengths, OR weaknesses. I'll be more specific going forward :-)

Theophilus tries to keep to himself, sliding through Temel's soiree with barely a ripple as he keeps his ears peeled for what rasps of wisdom pass Vayde's lips - and more importantly what they might mean for Theophilus's plans...

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Totally fair; I'll go for whoever's not covered by someone else, (if that person exists)

Theo lazily takes a few notes as Lukaas and Moro expound. "We're not really on my home turf here. Good to know the pressure points."

If Profession (merchant) can be subbed in then 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 for Irith Nomazamo.
Otherwise, Theo will just take-10 on a roll of Knowledge (local) on whoever's untargeted.

Theophilus puts on the expertly tailored suit, but within minutes minor telekinetic flutterings have rumpled the folds and given it unseemly creases.

"You'd know all about bandits, right Temel? Just a cost of doing business most of the time."

"Not always a good thing if news of our coming is spread everywhere."

"Happen to recall who told you about us? And how long'd you say these bandits have been raising a fuss?"

"Yeah sure, I gotta light touch."

Theophilus takes care of that from a safe distance before approaching closer to give them all a quick search, particularly looking for anything that smacks of a symbol of allegiance.

"Aww crap, more of 'em?"

Theo flops his coat open and a mace zips out from a badly stitched loop in the lining, rocketing towards the closest ambusher to knock him off the bridge!

@Blue
Telekinetic Blast (PBS): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16
Magic Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 8 + 1 = 13
Bull Rush: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

And did my readied attack go off when the thugs dropped in?

Ah, if there's not a railing to take cover behind, Theo will just crouch enough to go prone

I'm aware that I'll be getting OOS rewards. I put one burn into my Kinetic Ward which increased it by another 1/2 level (and more importantly activated my Elemental Overflow)

Also, am I understanding that I broke her charm by walking nearby?

Theophilus creeps forward out of easy explosion range of the rest of his party, eyes peeled for the other boot to drop as he crouches behind the low railing.

Theophilus is likewise suspicious. "Watch your back out there braid-beard," he calls after Toral. "This job gets a lot harder if we don't make it all the way to Alabastrine."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

"Sure, sure." Theophilus floats Toral's holy symbol back to him with a deadpan expression. "Of course I offer other services too. You never know what leverage you might find lying around at a shindig like this."

Theophilus shows up late, and makes a quick apology that doesn't get particularly close to his eyes before slipping up after Toral and Aaqir. He has slicked back oily hair, cold eyes, and clothes perpetually stained by food or travel. His rail-thin build rattles around in what clearly used to be someone else's coat before he crookedly stitched in some loops to hold his gear.

While he listens to his fellow trade prince, he casually rolls coins along the back of his knuckles, floating them across to the other hand when they reach the end of the row.

"You know anything about the other bidders? Or just the snake?"

Soo.... is that okay? :-p

I'd be interested in playing as well!

Certainly keeping an eye out for those low-mid level games :-)

Looks good here too - Thanks for the game!

50 gp of Theophilus's share of the bribe is covered by the Exchange, but no help with the PP

"You're a man with room for only one thing on his mind, Aggs. I like that in a business partner. We should talk about some interesting investments I've got coming down the pike.

"Oh, but we should definitely stash this with the Concordance. I'm sure we can work out the details of appropriate invoicing and such."

Sorry - I thought he was just throwing shade at Theophilus's Telekinesis

Reflex?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

"That better be some spell, Aggs!"

Theophilus continues battering the revitalized elemental with assorted debris.

Telekinetic Blast (Bard, PBS): 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 3 + 1 = 30
Magic Slashing: 2d6 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 17

"You sure about that? Last time it got rough Hisser-ha had to put you back together. You sure your god's a believer in third chances?"

A telekinetic pulse rattles the surrounding wreckage as Theophilus hurls another jagged chunk of airship into Chalissier.

Telekinetic Blast (Bard, PBS): 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 3 + 1 = 30
Magic Slashing: 2d6 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 15

Once we're happy with positioning

"Okay, break's over!"

Telekinetic Blast (PBS, Bard): 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 + 3 = 21
Magic Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (5, 5) + 6 + 1 + 3 = 20

Theophilus gives Agirran a surprised look, but doesn't ask questions, just drinks the potion. "Alright Aggs, uh little-Aggs, just reel him in, nice and slow."

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Theophilus staggers back from the blast. His face is drawn with pain, but his eyes are unclouded.

Counting in the temporary health and nonlethal that Theophilus walks around with, I'm at an effective 0 hp. Delaying until
a) I find out if someone can heal me,
b) I find out if Chalissier gets all glassy eyed, and Agate's able to lead him over to the angry axeman as Long As No One Attacks Him!
But once it's safe to attack...

Tired of throwing only the small stuff, Theophilus whips an aether-wrapped morningstar at Chalissier instead!

Telekinetic Blast (Bardage, PBS): 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 3 + 1 = 30
Magic Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2) + 8 + 3 + 1 = 19

"I just really wish you'd been memorable enough for this to be satisfying!"

Phew! Thanks Alexis! - You've probably even got an AoO against Chalissier from when he moved away, Agirran...

Theophilus narrowly avoids crapping his pants as the elementals converge on Agirran, before he sees that the Ulfen has somehow survived he lashes the area with debris. The first few shards go wide, but he yanks them back towards the creature, reflecting that they really are just as good coming as going.

Telekinetic Blast (Bard, PBS) @ Green: 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 + 1 = 15
Magic Slashing: 2d6 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 19
GM Star Reroll: 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 30

Theophilus scrambles away, twisting to avoid the elementals, as he flees a spray of shards plunges into the wounded elemental, bunches up, and then tears itself out in a dense cloud.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Telekinetic Blast (Bard, PBS) @ Red: 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 3 + 1 = 31
Magic Slashing: 2d6 + 8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 8 + 3 + 1 = 19

"Get in there Aggs!"

Theophilus shrugs, "Not the first windbag I've had to put down, and I'm sure not the last."

The ship rattles around Theophilus before a bit of wobbly propeller zips out to slash across the closest elemental!

Telekinetic Blast @ Red: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16
Magic Slashing: 2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 + 3 = 15

[b]"I'm no inky, but mid-air's not the problem around here that it would be back on the plane of things making sense, right?

"But uh... how high in mid-air?"

Theophilus is more than willing to let matters drop once Agirran is as well.

"I believe she said it was this way..."

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

"Look Aggs, since you pissed everyone off, right now getting off the street is a smart call. Being quiet while we get off the street is a smart call. I only have safehouses on Golarion. She has a safehouse here, which she'd have trouble getting to without us.

"Mutual needs, Aggs, the cornerstone of every good business arrangement."
Since Theophilus still has an arm on Jamila, he has a much easier time turning to look her roughly in the face, "After all, you're not going to do anything stupid about the horn, right Jamila? All the trouble that would cause the Concordance doesn't sound worth it to me."

I'd rather reply in character, but since Agirran's grievances have mostly been internal monologue, here goes:

Theophilus doesn't hold being a liar or a thief against anyone.

When Jamila's messed with the Society in the past, it's been because she was working for the Concordance, who were then also opposed to us.

We've recently come to an arrangement with them, so he doesn't see any particular reason why Jamila should be treated as an enemy here.

Theophilus plans to keep it simple and keep it quiet - especially while he's the one with a Jamila leaning on him.

Stealth here!

An obviously unafilliated knife slices open the bottom of the sack.

"Damn. We'll have to go with the totally reasonable invisibility plan instead of anything pointlessly humiliating."

With a mutter about mildew and laundry bills, Theophilus floats a set of cold weather clothing out of his pack, and gives her the heavy coat for warmth and a bit of camouflage.

"Let's get going. If you need someone to carry you, I'm pretty sure I heard Bozo volunteer."

"Well that was a freebie."

Theophilus puts assorted pieces of the scenery to work as ice picks while Jamila gets her bearings.
