Tomoe Gozen's page

I'm actually getting back to the boards this week after a turbulent time with moving house, no internet, burnt hand and some other stuff.

Nah i moved house and currently am renovating.
Internet is gone atm, only spotty mobile connection.
Should be back next tuesday, i hope!
Trying to post before.

Oh i'm so sorry to hear that! Take care and good recovery!
I hope you were vaccinated. If not everybody should see to get vaccinated.

Apologies, after moving house i have unexpectedly limited access to internet because something here is broken. Might be another week or so before everything is fixed.

Tomoe blinks in suprise for a few moments after the outbreak.

Oh.

It seems there are some misunderstandings.

I am very sorry for the boy and i think it is a tragedy. Children are - usually - the most innocent, regardless of race or their parents. And no i don't think children should be punished for their parents actions. Maybe made aware of them and tought differently, yes, but not punished.

It's not really a race thing either, humans undoubtedly have the lead here, you see that in the numbers, but others follow and join in as well, even my own brethren.
She gives Mac a sideways glance.
What i really want to say it, fate and nature don't care. They seek their balance. And - let's say people - are curving that balance here, carving a big hole in it, literaly. It's just a question of time untill there is a big offset, a rebalancing, a compensation. Usualy that comes in the form of some desaster, be it the forces of nature themselves, ravaging or tribes, or like in this case, something smaller, a few stirges. Might be the beginning of something bigger though. Maybe Nogwier is onto something, who knows...
You can see a moment of stress on her face during the last words, as if she were picturing some form of apocalpyse.

The end may or may not be nigh, doesn't change some things. There's plenty of humans and most of them love the sports of making others miserable in some way or another. Just ask the city guard how often they control random halflings and why. At some point things are going to balance out, that's just the way of nature and fate, but i'm sure you know that.
She clears her throat.
Of course i'm sorry for the boy and his parents.[/]

[b]And yes, the town might be getting you. Just look around. Do you think any of this is natural? Or that digging in the mine? Sooner or later that must attract evil things i guess. Whether they dig them up or they wander in...
She let's out a big sigh.
Not the time for this now though. When's that other fella comin back? What's he needin anyways?

I'm actually not sure who Senna is? Did i miss something?

"Well enough. Just wish I had more information on what happened to Senna," Harran answers, somewhat on guard. From what he knew, Tomoe was thoroughly in Nogwier's clique. "But that's not here nor there. We should get to dealing with the insects first before more people around here get hurt. Don't want another child to get killed playing out in the fields." He rolls his neck and shoulders loose as he glances in the presumed direction of their prey.

When Dragomir is about to leave, he calls to him. "Might want to check if there are some healing potions and the like. Just in case we somehow get more hurt than I can heal. We can always return them if they're not needed. That they don't have antiplagues doesn't mean they don't have ways to treat wounds stored in there."

Afterwards, he sets out to the edge of town and waits there for everyone to be finished with the preparations. Just in case, he draws out his many-ended spear and keeps a close eye on the sky.

Tomoe gives Harran a sideways glance...

She seems ready to follow and get the task done.

Hu! Another halfling...
Tomoe eyes Mac very suspiciously.
You're townsfolk. Best watch yer manners and keep yer hands to yeself!

I'm no good with a bow, but i have my sling...

Mia? Well i'm not often in the town, easy for me to never see quite a lot of people here for years or at all. That's kinda the point of it.

She gives Trent a nod.
Thank you, i guess, Trent. Good to see you're still here. Still suspicious of every halfling?

Oh Harran.*cough* Must have missed you. Have you landed in the town now? I would have thought you left the region. If you mean Nogwier, he's the same old. Pretty disappointed it seems, but that's really not my business. How are you doing?

Miss? Oh i guess you can call me miss Gozen then. You are? Well a bit pale for sure, but i meant your name.
Tomoe looks Mia up and down with a discerning, curious gaze.
You from around here?

Back in the game.

A little off in the shadows you might notice a small silhouette standing next to a big cat, silently stroking the cat and watching what's going on.
Listening to Trents speech, she steps forward.
That sounds quite unnatural. Is there a description of the beasts? I'll join you to see if everything is alright there. Nogwier would certainly approve. Maybe i can even be of assistance with some healing. At least i can help detect poison.

I'm still here.
Have been very busy at work and i'm moving house at the end of the month - while mainly working - so i'll be pretty busy for a while.

Will try to get as many posts in as i can though.
What got me a bit confused, we are still in the forest right after that encounter with the city watch, right?

Still here.
Rented a new place for the family, so i was really busy last week.

Additional info and changes are incoming over the next days i hope.
Might have time for that tomorrow evening.

New ones, unique to your character.

Just add them to your character sheet.

I'll do that over the weekend, if that's allright. Need a more relaxed mind for some creativity^^

Should we invent new NPCs or use the ones you mentioned in the recruitment?

No worries and thank you!

Most weird things are going on...
Just wrote "dot" in the gameplay thread, but can't see my own post there, nor under the characters "posts" tab.
Therefore i'm afraid i might not be able to delete it, apologies!

Also i just realized we're playing PF2 together GM Spazmodeus :D
Hadn't made that connection before^^

Looking forward to an interesting game here!

dot

Lol give the GM a break^^
There's tons of characters and it's really difficult to choose the right people and characters for a long journey, so it will last and be fun.

Took me quite some time, but i figured out this character here.
Originaly wanted it to be a gnome, but the halfling kind of works better.
That's sadly a limitation by gamerules somehow.

It's a fun character and concept though and i'm looking forward to the opportunity to play this!

I'm planning to be a ranged character. From level 3 on longbow.

Mh i'm thinking if this character might be good as a bard as well. Would certainly fit too.

Hello,

this is HayatoKens submission.
Tomoe Gozen is a human pirate monk, ashore in Saltmarsh currently, but from the far corners of the world.
She aspires to sail her own ship one day, thinks the ship is most important - more important than the crew - , can have amazingly foul language, likes jobs well done - especially when others do it and has the habit to pocket loose coins and other stuff she comes around.
Yet she is a really loyal companion and trustworthy, believing in fair share.

This contains the finished character and background.
Might change the name to reflect nobles of Magnimar and make a new avatar.

Cool! Will watch and dot it!

If you want to play yourself, be my guest please!
I´ll restart my Skull & Shackles too soon.

What´s the flaxseed lodge?

Thanks for the game was fun!

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 3 = 11Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 3 = 14

Tomoe produces a wand out of her sleeve, says an activation word and touches Jaysin with it.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Oh i´m so glad those demons are gone. How did they even get here? You look badly wounded Meg, you ok? Jaysin did you even get hit besides that illusion?

Thanks for running, was fun!

Just applied for your RotRL. So torn between the Arcanist and a halfling swashbuckler/dervish bard.

Tomoe casts a light on her bow.

Inspire Courage +1

Well, then it has to wait. I didn´t find the description for activating that torch anywhere, but guess you are right.

Tomoe takes her cold iron arrows and shoots the demon between Meg and Maaarv. Poor Meg! I really don´t want to see her beauty spoiled by those ghastly things.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 171d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Inspire Courage +1, no miss chance because of darkvision active.

Is that ok if i switch on the everburning torch as a move action?

Well, then we don´t see.

Tomoe casts another darkvision spell from her scroll, which is now empty, on Jaysin. She also puts 5 cold iron arrows in his hand.
Take those, will have more effect on the demons!

Then she turns to Matteo:
Can you cast a light? Meg has beautyful eyes, but they don´t seem to be the best.

Tomoe has darkvision for the next hour and can actually see in the darkness. As long as nobody casts deeper darkness, there is only normal darkness.

Ah i just remembered, Tomoe has an everburning torch. Time to switch the light back on :D

Edit: Upon reading the rules for that, i think continual flame doers not cancel the darkness. But i can still get rid of that dim light around it.
Maybe Meg hits then hehe.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Guess 20% from 23 are 5 damage.

After flinching from the pain that came with the black cloud Tomoe lays 5 arrows on the table next to her, calling to Jaysin:
Here take those, might work better!5 arrows with cold iron weapon blanche, drawing as a free action.
Then she takes out a scroll from her scrollcase and casts it on herself. Darkvision on self.
All the while she finds encouraging words for her peers.
Inspire Courage +1

Probably.
We don´t see them, but you can try to pinpoint them with perception, guess the square and attack that square. If it´s the right one you have a 50% hit chance.

Tomoe has 10 cold iron arrows and two scrolls of darkvision.

And according to the DarknessSpell, it has no function in an area where it is already dark. So no deeper/supernatural darkness there.
That would be really hard on us i guess and as far as i know those demons wouldn´t see there either^^
Sorry for the know-it-all attitude here or how one would call that in english.

As a quesion, did we actually identify any of the demons and share the knowledge? Because if not, Tomoe has no clue about what to do.

I ran this on a convention before on low tier and think you are doing a good job, especially for PbP.
Same true for the party^^ Very disciplined and organized and nice roleplaying.

No problem. This game is amazingly fast anyway.

Tomoe jumps out of the way so Jaysin gets a clear shot and starts to encourage everyone.

Inspire Courage +1

GM please read the spoiler below.

Tomoe is jumping on the table next to her and loosening an arrow on the ugly babau she can see and assumes is casting a spell.
Arrow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 271d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Smiling at Matteo Tomoe says Certainly amusing, but i don´t think we need to go to such lenghts. Let´s just drop them off at the mercenaries and inform the groom.

Tomoe stares at Meg in disbelieve and bites her lip.

Ehm, allright. I suggest we get Michellia back into the wedding dress and cover this thing here up. No need to disturb the wedding. We bring the Ulfen and the sister somewhere a bit off.

Matteo either you or Maarv take the fly potion. But that makes on blur on me later ;)

Allright, let´s gather their weapons and tie them up just for security reasons. She takes a silken rope out of her backpack and humming a melody ties it around breast, arms, hands and necks of the remaining Ulfen in artistic patterns, one after another, so that they are all on the leash in a row (Escape DC 24). While humming she asks Can anyone pull the rope there a bit so it fits tighter please? 4/14 rounds of bardic music used today.
After that is done, she turns to Michellia and Meg
Yeah, Michellia, tell us what´s going on!
