Tiny fox's page

Will take 10 for 18 on perform dancing.

Fox will accompany Philthy and Toral for a bit that day, but eventually make clear through animal speech, that it too must take off.

[Animal speech]"Good luck to you two. Maybe we work together another time."

But no! I saw the Fox in his humanoid form in Magnimar and he’s just chosen to walk the earth as an animal which I respect!

I'm fairly sure i was in animal shape at all times when near any fellow pathfinders.

The fox looks up at Grunyak's out pondering.

It crudely scratches letters in the floor.

[Mistress - sorceress]
[Gave blessing stronger teeth]

Fox makes a smiling expression when combat concludes.

[Animal speech]"This went better than the last time we had singing opponents. Recall the flying feathered women?"

If Sabas is still standing, fox attacks him, then withdraws.

Bite vs Sabas, invisible to enemy: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 15 + 2 = 34Dmg, underfoot SA: 1d3 + 11 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 11 + (1, 4, 2) = 21

If not, it will try a maneuver against Baren.
Dirty trick to sicken, invisible?: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 = 29

With the sudden cloud of pretty shiny colors now outlining the singing bard, fox darts past Carrick's legs to attack.

Spring attack, underfoot flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 2 = 27Dmg, underfoot SA: 1d3 + 11 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 11 + (2, 5, 4) = 25, and then hurries back to its starting position around the doorway's corner.

Fox heads up the stairs just past Carrick, then hides behind the corner, preparing for a hit and run.

Fox hides in the nearest ally's shadow.

[Animal speech] "I am guessing 60 to 40 %, that the other man is going to be aggressive at this."

Stealth?: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (15) + 23 = 38

Does fox still have mage armor active? Otherwise it asks Philthy to activate it again.

Fox hurries towards the throat of the lion, then back up into the sky.

Spring attack, avoid aoo, underfoot flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 2 = 23Dmg, underfoot flank: 1d3 + 11 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 11 + (5, 1, 1) = 19

Fox does spring attack against the fearsome beast, then returns to its position.

Bite: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30Dmg: 1d3 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

The lion grabbing his wizard friend Philthy, fox darts off quickly to bite the lion.

Spring attack routine.
Bite, underfoot flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 2 = 25Dmg, underfoot SA: 1d3 + 11 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 11 + (6, 5, 3) = 27, after which it moves back to its starting location, ascending to 20ft height.

....

In animal speech Philthy hears: "A lot, if they get the jump on us.
I am bite sized for them", and this comes in a somewhat cautious tone.

With the presence of hides of a variety of animals, even the size of lions, and torn animal remains, fox feels very anxious and uncomfortable.

Use hide in plain sight and sticking to areas of shadow. Be it structural or that of party members.

Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (9) + 23 = 32

Fox presents the wand of mage armor to Philthy.

[Animal speech:] "Can you please activate it again."

Fox creeps to the square behind Philthy, in preparation for a new spring attack.

Spring bite vs blue, underfoot flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 2 = 28Dmg, underfoot SA: 1d3 + 11 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 11 + (4, 5, 6) = 29

Fox darts forth and back again, as long as it will take to team this thing into the dirt.

Bite, underfoot flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 2 = 32Dmg, underfoot SA: 1d3 + 11 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 11 + (4, 6, 3) = 27

Fox launches a spring attack against blue.

Fervor bonus chosen: +2 AC and reflexes.
Since Philthy threatens the slug, it would provide, i think?, underfoot bonuses.

Bite, underfoot assault: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 2 = 26Bite dmg, underfoot SA: 1d3 + 11 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 11 + (2, 4, 5) = 25, and it returns to between all the dwarves' current positions.

Fox holds, keeping idle hope that slugs won't bother with people traveling through.

Total defense.

Fox aids the tracking with scent sniffing.

Bluff?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Fox crudely draws a circle shape with a tien symbol in it, along its edge some crude scratches in specific points.

Tien: Speak
It firmly pats its paw into it, so dust poofs away from the image.

Fox uses hide in plain sight to vanish into the shadows.

From a distance, in a hushed and fake gruffy voice "Hey, ye see tha'? Ripe fer robbin' when they sleep."

Fox uses a ki point to remain hidden.....

Resting is fine for me.

[Animal speech] "Would you like to see a trick?"
"Don't tell the others, though. It must be a surprise."

Said trick is performed when only Philthy is paying active attention.

Fox scratches something in the dirt, resembling a stick figure picking the pocket of another. Same stick figure's waste is then slit with a claw, then a sack of money is drawn, with a question mark.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Only at the last moment does fox see the folk, but its nose was filled with several scents.

Fox smile to appear adorable, aid diplomacy?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Fox will assist Toral tracking the tracks, but by scent.

[Animal speech] "We are going to find and relieve a professional thief of ill gotten goods. This person must be skilled to have done this act."

Daikitsu, please give your blessing on our mission.

Paying attention to the conversation still, fox inspects the hags for any pockets or items of use.

When done, it joins the group again.

Give me next round and she either wakes up or sleeps permanently. :)

Fox moves to the square north of Toral, SE of that table.

Fox darts for blue, joining Philthy in the attack, then returns to position.

Bite, haste, underfoot flank: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 1 + 2 = 37Dmg, underfoot SA: 1d3 + 11 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 11 + (1, 1, 4) = 20

Green took 1 extra dmg, mistyped the damage prior post.

Since i was before Grunyak, and underneath the table, i'll have enough movement to safely move.

Fox uses spring attack against the nearest 'hag'.
Gozmask allows me to see through the fog, no miss penalty.

Bite vs flat footed: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20Dmg, SA: 1d3 + 10 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 10 + (5, 2, 1) = 21

And fox hurries back to underneath the table.

Fox takes position underneath the table north of Toral.

Fox's ears stand right up at the sudden arrival of the panicked man.

The plea for help from outside only adds to its alertness.

Init: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

And here I was thinking this was going to be an affair involving going through many petty officials and having our business nosed into continually

Fox makes a faked sneezing sound at that very description....

Meanwhile it keeps an eye out for anything odd, like if are they being watched.

Perception?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Thank you, master Fox. That was very thoughtful of you.

[Animal speech To Philthy, after briefly looking at Grunyak as he said that.] "This...sounds so weird to me. To be addressed with an honorific i use for my house family."

You cannot take 20 on disguise. ;-) But you can take 10.

Actually, i haven't seen Disguise forbidden as a take 20. It holds no risk, opposed to say Disable Device against a harmful trap.

"Using magic (such as the disguise self spell) reduces this action to the time required to cast the spell or trigger the effect.
Retry? Yes. You may try to redo a failed disguise, but once others know that a disguise was attempted, they’ll be more suspicious."
If i spend 2 minutes perfecting the disguise when everyone is asleep, i'd hit that nat 20, sooner or later.

In response to Philthy:
[Animal speech] "Indeed. If the bald dwarf is not into Onigiri, that leaves the last one for your pet. Mr Toral hasn't eaten his either....if he doesn't, split a 2nd?"

No, Fox is either a humanoid that can take fox form or a magical beast that can transform to a humanoid. Well, I’m really not sure what race and he rather likes to stay in his fox form during the whole mission. I think that’s the case but Philty has been communicating with him and if you can speak with animals then surely you can do the same!?

A mere DC 40 perception to confirm it may not be its true form/normal-awakened animal to begin with. Fox takes 20 every morning to 'get into shape' properly.

I see our mascot is joining us once more eh? Did you have any questions from the brief you'd like me to ask?

[Animal speech] "No sir, i have been here the entire briefing. I take it you have made a full recovery from the tomb encounter, you seem optimistic as before."

Had been 'hiding': 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30

Just us three dwarves and an angry mongoose? I suppose we can do it. An unusual party, but a capable one nonetheless!"

From a piece of furniture next to Philthy, comes the sound of an animal's short cough. Fox drops into view from hiding in plain sight, with a smile on its nuzzle and waggling its fluffy tail.

It now seems to size up dwarf #3 (Grunyak), the latest dwarven colleague in its more recent ventures.

It wears a small pouch, which it opens and pulls a long wrapped content from. It is wrapped in paper, and unfolded presents 5 peculiar looking rice balls, seasoned and with a bit of almost tasteless seaweed.

Onigiri for everyone.

It quickly munches down the 1st, waiting for the others to come take one, if they so choose.

This was an interesting mission, thanks for running. :D

Fox finally snaps back to its senses, shaking some dust from its fur.

[Animal speech to Philthy] "Mister dwarf, are you okay? You took a heavy beating there."

Fox uses hide in plain sight and creeps closer to near Toral.

Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (3) + 23 = 26
Will if need be: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

And freezes scared from one of the mummies. But at least roll 1 was a good result for a poor will save character.

spring attack bite, underfoot flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 2 = 24DMg, underfoot SA: 1d3 + 11 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 11 + (3, 6, 2) = 24

Fox darts past Toral's feet for another hit & run, returning to its starting position.

Bite: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23Dmg: 1d3 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Fox makes a spring attack from stealth against green, then moves back through Toral's square to south of Walla.

Bite from stealth, underfoot flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 28DMg, underfoot SA: 1d3 + 11 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 11 + (6, 3, 2) = 24

Fox sticks its snout partway into its special pouch, and picks out a flask with a flame on it. If a corpse walks around in dry ancient clothing...

It puts it down near Toral.

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Fox's animal instincts are ringing the alarm bells of church proportions.
It quietly creeps away, tugging the wall as it moves past Philthy.

It much prefers the sight of its living mistress over some shambling corpse in rags.

Imagine one of the party was an android.
"what is so bad about seeing a wrapped up corpse? Why does that frighten you?"

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Rounds of paralysis on fail: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Have fun!
