Ulrich Makaisson's page

Thanks the chronicle looks good. Thank you fellow players for the great RP. Unfortunately this game I was a wall flower :( I will do better next time.

I really like that scenario, in retro it reminds me some of the starfinder scenarios (first contact type). Really fun and intriguing.

Btw. who was behind that bear? Was that the Witch?

And great GM'ing clombue, thanks for that!

Btw. Baba Yaga is present in my local folklore (as a Kid I was told stories of her etc.). And I always am rooting for the home team monsters ;) So it always make me smile to see her mentioned ;)

Ulrich nods when Krakazh is speaking. The way how aid work, Ulrich is unable to provide different type of bonus. Clue in also gives circumstance one :(

The gnome sits and listens trying to read the parties involved.

Perception +10 if it can aid in any way

Lore(Underworld), lvl 4 (due to Experienced Smuggler), DC19, : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 success so 7 sp x 8 = 5.6 gp

The data reporting info looks good.

"I think the key terms would be to establish the expectations of one party and the other, and the terms of coexisting. I don't think anyone wants to fight each other." adds Ulrich

Ulrich eyes grow bigger, as he did not see this coming. "What she said." adds Gnome after Jayma's speech.

Ulrich looks at the witch and holds his breath.

"My name is Ulrich Makaisson and I come from city of Absalom. A private detective at your service"

When he sees what Jayma is trying to do, he moves closer to her, and in a lowered voice he says

"Others have said that he reacts favorably to being addressed as Lady Chesjilawa." Usinc clue in to grant Jayma +1 from my lead.

Ulrich sits on the bench but steals a drink for himself

Fort save, Detective's readiness: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 = 19

"I think I deserve one as well!"

Ulrich keeps on jumping ...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

But then he trips and rolls on the floor, laughing the whole time. "I think I am done. It is not my day!"

Ulrich takes a shot of vodka hoping that his experience and strong head are enough for that.

Fort save, Detective's readiness: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 = 19

Then he tries to dance, jumping, squatting, and raising his knees

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Ulrich keeps on playing, the way how he did it before...

Society, lead?: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 1 = 15

But either his head was not in the game, or he actually messed up the rules.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Knowing the dirty tricks he tries again, but this time enemies are prepared and the referee is keen. He got himself a penalty and sits big portion of the game on the bench.

With the passing time Urlich tries to observe other players and see what successful strategies there are. He keeps the cards close to his chest and tries to limit his showing of emotions to a minimum.

Society, lead?: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 = 30

On the hockey ring, he experienced some 'highlights' from the enemy team, elbowing or being attacked with a high stick. He knows that he is too nimble to return the favor, so he tries tripping with his stick.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

He is pretty effective with it, even with small throwing off the enemy team he does so well that he is not caught.

Sorry, I saw like 10 hockey games ;) And I was there waiting for action :D In Eu where I live it is not a popular game, altho there is a team in my city, the ticket price is half of paizo scenario ;)

Ulrich sits to play cards as his hair color change into some vivid color. He wonders if it will distract the players long enough for him to get a grasp on the game nad players

Society, lead?: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 1 = 29

Then he joins to play hockey game, sports were never his strong suit. But he is able to stand on his legs and pass the ball around

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

"As one of my mission, I was asked to escort a group of kids on their journey through the forest." he pauses to let it sink

"I know right, we are highly skilled agents. Prepared for any work. But let me tell you that, we were not prepared for that!"

I want to keep it a spoiler free, you did not asked for rolls, but I will include it anyway.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Ulrich looks at the situation, at his hook and weapons "That will not help you! Hold on!"

He finds a steel sword and constructs simple pruning sheers using his kukri as a cutting blade.

Crafting to aid :): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Pfff

He looks at his creation and it falls into pieces. I think it is a failure and not crit fail

Ulrich looks at Dreadfang "Hey, need a grappling hook? Maybe it will help you move to move around it?"

How could we help Dreadfang? Fire spells? finding a hatchet? Grappling hook?

Just an FYI I tried to impress Wolf here but did not see response. I think the roll should be enough to impress

“They don’t even know what sterilization is here,” Vera snarls the word, rubbing her forehead with one hand. “Take these notes to someone with authority. They do no one any good here in Irrisen.”

"Sterilization? Soon you will start speaking of some small invisible thingies that are dangerous to us. We have magicians, wizards, sorcerers, and witches for that. You should stand in the line of enlightened folks."

He looks at the package with interest "But I will gladly take a look"

Ulrich follows Jayma and looks at the giant wolf being able to swallow him hole.

"In your tongue, my name, reversed, is what you hope to be.

"O hope to e rich, so should I call you Hcir?"

Diplomacy to impress: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

"You did not like my joke? Yeah, I am not good at those, Evila. We came to see what is in those forests as we have never been here. We dance with death, but never settle on their turns."

Guessing that 'Alive' is what Ulrich wants to be. So he guesses Evila is the name.

Ulrich nods his head eagerly imagining buying some of the weapons and selling them on the black market in Absalom. The dreams of wealth and glory... Then he blinks a couple of times

"That sounds just amazing."

Ulrich would change his lead to the Witch Chesjilawa Jadwiga Karina.

Society: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 1 = 27

"I come from the city of Absalom, the great town that is a pleasure to behold."

Crafting +11 to recall knowledge

Ulrich stands up and wants to aid Jayma, but seeing how well she is doing he just stands and observes their reactions.

Sense Motive +10

Strategem@bear: 1d20 ⇒ 18

This time Ulrich spots and opening, this beast hit hard, so he hopes that the mirror will not last long.

Kukri@Bear, nonlethal: 18 + 13 - 2 = 29
Damage, slashing: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5) + 1 = 8

War razor@Bear, nonlethal: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 - 2 = 27
Damage, slashing: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 1 = 5

Combine damage when it comes to resistances

"Ouch, How is it going with the mirror?"
Ulrich smacks the bear with the blunt side of his weapons

Strategem@bear: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Feint@Bear: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Kukri@Bear, nonlethal: 7 + 13 - 2 = 18
Damage, slashing: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4) + 1 = 11

War razor@Bear, nonlethal: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 - 2 = 19
Damage, slashing: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6

Strategem, feint, two attacks, if I can use extra action I would move away

"I am not the climber type" says Ulrich He looks around and spots the rocks "Some of us can climb those rocks and get better view on the mirrors"

He steps a bit further away and tries to recall what he could know about such bears and their weaknesses Recall knowledge bear Nature +6

"Any idea who could control that bear? And at what distances?"

Anything to learn with Arcana? +12

Move, recall knowledge (nature), recall knowledge (arcana)

Ulrich pulls out his kukri and war razor and stands next to Dreadfang "Ok let us be ready" he says

I am using icons differently than on paizo forum. A gnome holding kurki. I guess it is not enough time to mark them as lead? Would my lead related to pass justify treating that creature as part of my investigation?

Ulrich has Keen Recollection -> 'You can recall pertinent facts on topics that aren't your specialty. Your proficiency bonus to untrained skill checks to Recall Knowledge is equal to your level instead of +0.' If Nature check can be Recall Knowldge I would roll it, otherwise I will take a comfortable seat with Itka and Jayma ;)

Ulrich wraps in warm clothes. "So this is how traveling in snow looks like" he shivers trying to look at the local plants and recall what he could know

Nature, recall knowledge, lead: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15

"I think that is a fern! Winter fern..."

Ulrich checks that his weapon is well maintained and waits for the others to be ready...

I will grant my extra hero point to Itka (second lvl 5 PC)

And 2 Minor Healing Potions

And I played Elfino and Warrah played Mrs. Crinkle. In fact, I've played with all of you at least once before if not many times. This should be a good little adventure.

Let us do not forget about the GM ;) Who was also part of that party :D While we are on it, I need to apologize all from the previous scenario. Ulrich had striking runes but kept on rolling 1d6 and 1d4 :D So I made that game unnecessarily difficult ;)

Ulrich listens to Jaymas revelation "I hope that when it comes to traveling our scout will do the work. We will be cartographers! Gnomes of science!"

No Survival here.

Ulrich is upgraded. I have 1 glyph

With others comes another gnome, his keen eyes and colorful hair slowly change their appearance to match the surrounding, snow. He follow others to buy winter clothing

"Ulrich Makaisson at your service, private investigator. After my last mission which was my first that happened in Absalom, I dealt with a bunch of kids going on a field trip. I even met a granny with humongous teeth! It was like being locked in a fairy tale." the gnome shivers

Gnome goes to Ogthup "What can you tell us about that pass?"

Society +13 to recall knowledge. I would like to start investigating Irrisen, if this is too much of a lead than the pass.

Chronicle looks good, and I see the game reported. I second Mrs. Crinkle's thoughts! Great job GM! I really enjoyed the scenario.

I honestly think that it would be awesome if the team would be split evenly between one and another side of the plane. In this case receiving one word of advice may but does have to be effective. But I don't know how that would look like, and if it would not require 2 separate tables.

Anyways, thanks fellow players!

Sorry for the will save, I was under impression that since I passed the second fort save I don't have to roll :| My bad

Ulrich needs some time to consume all information. "I am glad that it is over. We should go and grab a drink..."

Underworld, lore, DC18: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 Experienced smuggler let me attempt lvl 3 task => 4 gp

Fort save, Detective's Readiness: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15
Fort save, Detective's Readiness: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20

Ulrich withstands some of the damage and tries to help the students

Ritual, communicate from beyond, lead: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 = 30

"Oh come on kiddos, we don't have all day!"

Then he strikes the creature

War Razor: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Damage, slashing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Does Ulrich have his faction's mentor boon? Mrs. Crinkle would get the benefit of that, too.

Yes he does, it is Skillful mentor so extra +1 to skills

Ulrich strikes the creature with his razor
War razor@bad guy flanking: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Damage, slashing, backstabber: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

And then tries to help coordinate students "Huddy kiddos, hurry!"

Ritual, communicate from beyond, lead: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 = 18

Ulrich looks at the strike that the creature made and then he strikes the creature with his war razor

War razor@bad guy flanking: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Damage, slashing, backstabber: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Then he clashes his weapons trying to guide the kids into doing the ritual

Ritual, communicate from beyond, lead: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 = 12
Hero Point reroll Ritual, communicate from beyond, lead, DC18: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 = 18

Attack, Communicate from Beyond

Ulrich steps and strikes the creature with both weapons

Kukri@bad guy flanking: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Damage, slashing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
War razor@bad guy flanking: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage, slashing, backstabber: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

If both weapons hit, add the damage before subtracting the resistance.

Will save, DC19: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Random: 1d8 ⇒ 8

"What, was that? Oh, that all is so cool"

He steps towards the creature and strikes it with both weapons

Kukri: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Damage, slashing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
War razor: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage, slashing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

If both weapons hit, add the damage before subtracting the resistance.

Ulrich looks at the creature and the professor "Yeah we need to go for the kids, maybe first let us try and enter the room to see if anything attacks us!"

Says walking inside If he can

Ulrich: Do you want to be in the front? It looks like you and Tels are right in front of the door. I'm happy to switch places with you if you prefer. (Mrs. Crinkle isn't built to do anything from the back.)

I put Ulrich on the front as he is one highest lvl PC in the party (so has relatively high AC and HP), but I am fine swapping places. Whatever makes our granny with big teeth happy ;)

"Lets get one of the students to open the door" suggest gnome

Ulrich moves towards the door and checks if the door there can be moved through.

He first tries for his kukri to pass through...

Ulrich listens to what Bun Bun is saying "You have an interesting accent, from which part of Golarion are you from?"

"I also think we should go to the restricted section, I wonder if those who manned the lodge disappeared just like we, in which case that stone can be wherever Jirneau was."

Ulrich moves inside and looks at the sky

"Ok so where can we find that lodestone.."

Ulrich looks surprised at his weapons "We find a surprising amount of enemies on this side of the mirror."

He waits for others to get healed and he joins the search party

"I think your plan Elfino is a good one."

Ulrich runs towards the last creature and strikes it with both weapons

Double slice, kukri: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Damage, slashing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Double slice, war razor: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Damage, slashing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Ulrich sends two well-aimed strikes

Move and Double Slice

Ulrich moves towards the big creature and strikes it with both weapons

Double slice, kukri: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage, slashing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Double slice, war razor: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Damage, slashing, backstabber: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Ulrich aims well with his kukri but another attack with his razor is completely off.

Move and Double Slice

Devise a strategem@blue: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Ulrich looks at the creature and then strikes with both of his weapons

War razor@blue: 17 + 10 = 27
Damage, slashing, strategic strike: 1d4 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (3) = 5
deadly if CRIT: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Kukri@blue: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
damage, slashing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Devise strategem, double slice- combine damage and apply resistance once. What kind of rolls are those!
