I don't think I'm going to be able to rework Tio into something I still feel resembles him thematically, so I'm going to be looking at some options that have nothing to do with him as well. Tio and Lagun may still return as some sort of Spiritualist and Phantom, but as of now, I'm not sure of anything!
This makes me want to rejigger Tio Ringa, a character I made for a Reign of Winter game a long time ago, but strangely enough, I don't think dreamscarred press is generally kosher for PFS. I'll put some thought into some things, though.
I believe so. Worse comes to worst, you, I, or Lagun can carry her gingerly where we need to go
" Not a thing, Aiden, He says, though he takes a quick look anyway, finding little helpful. He sighs as he stands, and says, " I don't have any way to heal her, either."
The only reason I was okay provoking with Lagun is that I could summon another. It would complicate things in the meantime, but he also has a fairly respectable AC for this level, and I'm a gambling man at heart when it comes to tabletop games.
For future reference, this is what usually happens when sorcerers and their ilk go ahead of the meatier members of the party. :P Or at least, what's happened to every caster but one that I've seen do it. Grapplemancers are strange and wonderful things. Edit: if you end up having more interested players than you're comfortable with, feel free to take me off the list first. While I really enjoy Tio, I'm picking up a second job, with the potential in the next month or two for a third, depending on how things go and whether I can handle it. I'd rather the players who have the time to put in the amount of effort your game would deserve.
Tio rushes forward, signalling Lagun to strike at Saventa as he wraps around behind Halek.
Sorry for the delay, I am indeed interested. Thought I posted as such, but it would not appear to be the case.
"How much do they still live, really? They seem addled to say the least; it seems the memory removal is less than perfect. On one hand, some are set off by faint recollections of that which has been taken from them; on the other, they merely seem to go through the motions of daily life." Tio, while obviously not content with the happenings, is less prone to immediately jump to murder than the token iguana.
Tio clears his throat. " If we've got rope, [b]" he says, pointing upwards, "[b]I can simply have Lagun fly to the roof and anchor it, if that will help."
Sorry for radio silence, have had some personal and professional goings-on that have complicated free time a little.
Sorry for the delay. With the winter storm that came through my area, lots of people had no idea what they were doing on the roads, and we had somebody hit a a power line.
Tio watches Kazushi change, showing interest as she speaks. "Well now, I never would've guessed. Shows how well I can read others, I suppose." In response to Aidan, he nods. "I wouldn't be surprised if they already knew we were on the way, with it going off."
Tio holds his head as they walk back, rubbing softly. "I'd rather not, but..." he sighs loudly. "We probably should. If you'd rather do so now, I think I can stand the buzzing for a little while longer..."
Huzzah! My level up, once I'm on my computer, should be quick. Lagun isn't changing at all, I think the only real change is going to be a utility talent.
Tio stumbles slightly, holding his stomach. "...That buzzing... it's making me nauseous, I can't stand it." With a flick of his wrist, Lagun dissipates, though the Kineticist still looks rather woozy. "I believe you're right, Aidan," he says as the soulknife pulls his hand away, "That's probably a poor choice."
Tio takes a step forward, once more raising his hand to direct his friend.
"Staying where we are doesn't appear to be doing us much good. Onward," Tio says, holding the lantern ahead of him as the others, assumedly, fall in behind him.
The short fight concluded, Lagun once more dissipates, blowing away into nothing, with a wave. "I haven't the foggiest; I'm not much of a trader. What worries me more is what they might be using this for. With all these footprints around, I can't imagine they're trying to move it much; it must have some sort of purpose."
Oops. I forgot to choose which "floating" menu choice to use, from Boost Construct. For simplicity's sake, and not needing to recalculate damage or anything, or add any more dice rolls, I'll just take buff, and add 5hp, if that's okay?
Tio calls after his friend after its potentially vicious blow, "Good, now another! "
Lagun once more raises a scintillating fist to one of the guards.
"Lagun, to arms!" Tio says as he raises his arm towards the conscious hanoshafyr, even as Lagun materializes, shooting forth from Tio with his fist extended.
"Lagun could set it off, but... " Tio shakes his head. "No, I haven't any idea to bypass it otherwise.
"I think we may need to bring some light with us; I know I can barely tell my foot from the path in the darkness, let alone anything more hostile than an ill-shapen stone." He grabs the handle of the lantern, lifting, but without the means to light it. "Anyone else able to light it, or would the rest of us rather go without?
I'll keep my cestus equipped, but hopefully I won't need to use it, other than maybe an AoO here or there. I don't anticipate running out of Copies particularly quickly, and I'm not terribly good with it to begin with.
Tio hasn't even time to react before the guards are dispatched in a colorful spray of magic. Slightly dazzled, he rubs his eyes. " I suppose we don't have to worry too much about them anym- Kenax...? Well... at least you're not bringing them harm. They certainly seemed livelier than earlier, though..."
Dead? It's a bit early to leave me for dead, "friend" :P
Tio follows quietly behind the others, ready to summon Lagun at a moment's notice, if they need a distraction. His complete and total lack of darkvision makes for a difficult task of following his companions, though somehow he manages to keep himself relatively quiet and hidden.
Tio is pretty apparently disturbed by the iguana's imagery. "I'd like to at least try not to kill anyone who doesn't deserve it. A bloodbath hardly seems fitting, but i think we should definitely check it out."
Tio opens his mouth to object, to offer Lagun's services to retrieve the shiny thing, but the soulknife is already well on his way, and so he stays his tongue. "Cleaned? An odd word; their minds seem to be fuzzier than most, in fact. They've certainly repressed something, the way they're acting... "
"Pretty difficult to sell ore if none comes out of the mine, " Tio adds. " I don't even see a reason for you to be guarding it at this point."
You appear to be absolutely correct. I was posting from my phone earlier, couldn't manage to open the image properly for some reason.
Tio nods. "It feels as likely a place as any other to find a clue as to the whereabouts of our companions, and gives us something to do in the meantime."
Shroud marksman are really neat. Instead of reading the wind and adding wisdom to their attack rolls , they can briefly turn invisible. I've got a rank in it, and it's a class skill, but my dexterity isn't too high, and along with my ACP, I've only got a +5.
Tio sighs and shakes his head. "I've little training for it. I wouldn't be surprised if I could sneak past them," he says with a small gesture to the pair of guards, "but I'd be hard-pressed to sneak past many more attentive."
Tio likewise orders some food, eating quietly and listening to the bit of bickering amongst his allies. "Well whatever we do, we ought to get on the way, instead of squabbling amongst ourselves about jokes and whatnot," he says, taking a drink. "Sound like a plan?"
Tio is very quickly irritated by the talk of murdering townsfolk. "There is absolutely no way I'll be standing for the massacre of those in this town. We will do what need be done without harming the innocent, or at the very least, without death."
"Lagun and I can take the middle watch," Tio offers. "as he certainly needs unbroken rest, nor do I, to call upon him."
Tio keeps relatively quiet, talking little of his family or his past, happy to let others take the limelight. He eats, and plenty; not a big meat-eater, the fruits and veggies are quite appealing to him, and good, to boot. After the meal, he nods to Aidan at his suggestion; returning to the tavern sounds a fine idea, and he certainly hadn't any better.
Tio happily hands over market value for the toolkit, content with the expenditure for something to while away his time with. "I wouldn't want to be rude, and ignore such hospitality," Tio says, upon Nisk's offer for a meal. "I think I speak for us all when I say we'd be happy to."
Tio's not much of an adventurer. He's tough in body, but a softy at heart; he just so happens to have friends to do his pummeling for him.
"Yes, it seems we've somehow lost a few of our travelling companions, and we've grown worried," he says, examining the tools he'd used for the performance. "I quite like these, however, how much would you like for them? I've been missing my kit; I had an old set, but when a chisel shatters..."
Tio requests a set of simple tools, and a sinple, though large, block of wood, then starts to work. He works quickly at first, removing large slices of the hard wood, his hands almost a blur. Once he's determined the relative shape of the piece, he switches to a much finer chisel, taking long, thin strips from the block. Before long, his sculpture is complete, and surprisingly abstract and whimsical, foot the medium he's chosen. To any of the audience who might know, it would appear to be an elemental of some sort, certainly not of physical origin, with the shapes evoked, while the party would recognize the sculpture as a spitting image of a larger Lagun.
Tio nods. " I certainly have no better suggestion to offer. I sure hope we find the others; working with the two we've already found, addled as they are, is problematic as it is."
"Perhaps we were hasty in coming to authorities, it's simply.... perplexing, that other companions can forget them so easily..." Tio muses, running a few fingers through his beard. "Well, I suppose if they do not show up, we shall see you again soon! Perhaps they've already made their way back to their rooms?" [ooc]Yeah, time to head out, I think. Maybe look around for them elsewhere in the town?[/b]
I hope it improves quickly. Back problems are not good, much more serious than a delay in a RPG. Well, I'm moving around now, significantly less pain. I should be A-OK, I think.
Sorry, I've been in bed most of the day. Threw out my back at work yesterday.
"I'd rather find our... friends, sooner than later. If Horik can help us now, we should at least make a better try at seeing him."
"One's a rather large fellow with a rather large weapon, the other simply doesn't know when to put his knives away."
It's funny, I almost made a Tactician with that archetype that lets you take the actions of Collective Members for them, and unwilling participant. Looks like that wouldn't have gone over too well with the iguana, glad I stuck with my choice!
