Tormnyr's page

"Sokkla, let's move back a bit. We can bottleneck them just as well at the top of the stairs, and have more cover."

Tormnyr moves back up the stairs and again uses Total Defense.

If those on the ground have cover against Zadira, does she have Improved Cover against them? It feels like a sniper's position should provide at least some sort of advantage.

Tormnyr holds his ground and uses Total Defense.

Tormnyr sees Zadira take up position on a roof.
He sets up on the stairs leading up to her position, hidden out of sight.
"Zadira, it looks like there is a bridge from your roof to the next one. If you can't take it down quickly, then beware of them trying to get to you that way. It wouldn't be their first choice of route, since they'd be more exposed than coming up the stairs, but they may go that way when they see the stairs are blocked. Maybe push some obstacles in the way of that bridge. Or caltrops if you have them."

Set up.

I prefer Google Slides to Roll20, as I can use it from my phone and it lets other people move your tokens if needed, but I will try to keep up with the Roll20.

Tormnyr goes where he is directed, ready to guard the stairs.

Tormnyr nods to the other Pathfinders.
"Yep. I'm backup. Been in the Serpent's Run, and I can handle myself in a fight. Hopefully keep you safe too."

"I'll go wherever you say. I am best in the front lines." The dwarf wears a breastplate and carries a heavy shield. His weapon is a dwarven axe-gauntlet.

He will position himself in front of Zadira, to keep the enemies from closing with her. Tormnyr will seek to also be in the shadows, out of direct line of sight. Because if the enemy stands off at range and shoots, he cannot very easily switch to javelins. Might look to swap out the weapon later; it's a great damage die for a Close weapon, which his archetype needs, but having hands free is sometimes more important.

"I'd rather fight on the ground than on a boat," Tormnyr says to Natalya.

He holds his shield and axe ready, standing next to Sokkla.

Tormnyr knows that the occupants of the rowboat won't recognize him, so he says "Natalya, signal to them!"

He is not sure of the next steps, so he looks for a defensive position with some cover in case the pursuers have ranged weapons.

Tormnyr follows behind Sokkla.
She doesn't seem a professional at this, but she's strong and has some good instincts - even if she might need a voice of reason in her ear now and then.

If it seems that the thugs will catch them before getting to the Crow, he will stand and fight. Otherwise he will keep going.

"Let's head to the Crow. In tunnels and chambers we can negate any numbers advantage these thugs may have."

Do we know there are tunnels and chambers within the Crow? If so, Tormnyr would suggest going there. I'm just not sure if he has that information.

Stealth?: 1d20 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 5 = 15 Breastplate is -3, Heavy Shield is -2. Normally would stow the shield before attempting anything with ACP, but there is no time here.

Despite his armor, Tormnyr does decently well at finding some cover.

"Natalya, looks like we have more of a fight on our hands whichever way we go. Which way is our destination? Hiding would just give them more time to converge on us."

Tormnyr can handle regular thugs for a while, but at some point they will get some lucky hits. At least Sokkla has some healing (4 Lay on Hands?) if we need it.

His preference would be to double move in the direction that we want to go.

Perception DC 18: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
"Hey Natalya - who's that rotting blonde?"

Tormnyr swings again at the nearest ruffian.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Unlike Sokkla, he has no intention of letting them flee and regroup with their allies.

@Sokkla - sorry to jump straight to combat, but we can't wait around and talk with them while their allies converge on this location. Might have a few rounds before reinforcements arrive.

As soon as the man whistles for help, Tormnyr moves up and strikes with his axe-gauntlet.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

"Calling for help won't do no good if you can't tell them where we went. Gotta kill you quick."

Tormnyr has far more confidence in his ability to fight than to flee. Dwarves are slow.

Underbridge

"I'd like to know what's going on here. I don't like secrecy. But I know there's no time. Just tell me- are we in the right and them in the wrong?"

Tormnyr shrugs noncommittally but is somewhat interested in Natalya's response to Sokkla's question. I look out for my team and protect who I'm told to. I just hope someone decent is calling the shots.

To Natalya, he says, "So do we try to lose them, or let them catch us and then take them out if needed?"

Tormnyr shakes hands with the half-orc.
He sees her reaction to the gem.
"I am Tormnyr. Society pays well. The work is rough sometimes, and the job isn't always like you think it's going to be. There will be surprises.
But if you can do it... it pays well, like I said."

Tormnyr nods to Captain Heidmarch and to Natalya. "Ready to go."
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

"No problem, Venture-Captain," the dwarf remarks. He lacks the surliness of many of the Society's dwarven members 5 Cha being rather common for dwarves in PFS and also lacks the incomprehensible accent that many seem to have. He has a slight Ulfen accent, but it is faint.

Tormnyr dons his armor, axe-gauntlet, and shield.

To Natalya, he asks, "What are the rules of engagement if we run into Tower Girls or Wreckwash Blades? Try to flee? Fight but leave them alive? Or no witnesses?"

In PFS, Sheila Heidmarch has some missions that are kind of murderhobo-ish. Tormnyr is going to be okay with doing the dirty work if it protects his team.

Was looking through the Gameplay a bit and this caught my eye:

Eskander, regarding your question on the AoO - I don't think you threaten the corners of the 5x5 square around you - they should be 15ft away - which means an enemy can close on you by moving along the diagonal. And you should remember that if they are 10ft from you at the start of their turn, they can always close by just taking a 5ft step

It may be important later, so I thought I would note the FAQ on this:

10-Foot Reach and Diagonals: I’m confused about reach and diagonals. I heard somewhere online that you don’t threaten the second diagonal with a 10-foot reach but that you somehow get an attack of opportunity when opponents move out of that square, but the Rules Reference Cards show that you do threaten the second diagonal. Which one is correct?

The cards are correct. As an exception to the way that diagonals normally work, a creature with 10 feet of reach threatens the second diagonal. These changes will be reflected in the next errata.

A rather crucial fix.

Tormnyr won't be using a reach weapon, but he may be a good candidate for Enlarge Person in the future which would give him 10' of reach.

Good to go here.

I know just about nothing about this AP, so should I read through the past Gameplay or get brought up to speed IC?

HP: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 new total 22.

Feat: Step Up
Skills: Survival, Perception x2
Still have that 1 skill point to spend - maybe Linguistics for a shared obscure language?

Purchases: probably a MW weapon and saving the rest for now. Will update tomorrow.

Changed the name to "Tormnyr," otherwise here is the profile with the Level 1 stats.

Have 1 skill point from 1st level unspent for team collaboration, as well as the level 2 updates to make (but the GM said to just show the level 1 stats so I will level whenever told to do so).

Glad to be here. Thanks for the invite.
