Vaetta Sciona's page

Vaetta puts her sling away, and jogs down to join the conversation.
"We also found Undead, that nearly killed me by the way. Created by some creepy novice necromancer who thought he could build an undead army or something. I recovered his journal. Didn't we also recover quite a few magical items as well? There was also that spiked pit trap..." Vaetta rambles on.

Vaetta continues to hurl stones at the Minotaur.
Vaetta loads her sling as a Move Action, and fires as a Standard Action.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 16 (including Bless, Inspire Courage, and Range modifiers)
Damage: 1d3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Yes. Vaetta will need many hugs after this... Not that this is actually that unusual for her. Her/my dice luck is horrible. Her first combat she missed four times in a row against typical troglodytes. Also I forgot about Janira's inspire courage. +1 right? If so:
Attack Roll = 11
Damage Roll = 6

Vaetta also has Low-Light Vision (from her trait, Blood of Dragons), so if Pelotita's light is enough for Nagagorjo to attack by, it should also be enough for Vaetta.

Vaetta continues to pelt the minotaur with sling stones.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 1 - 2 = 10
Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 16 (miss on 1-20 if applicable)
Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
RNGesus hates me...

Vaetta will load and fire her sling again from her present position.
Vaetta loads her sling as a Move Action, then fires as a Standard Action.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 1 - 2 = 11 (including +1 from Bless and -2 from Range modifiers.)
Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Can someone double move me to right behind Too-Tuk? Whatever that template is it doesn't let me target Pelotita to move her.

Like so? {Link}.

Vaetta edged a little closer to the monster, reloaded her sling, and prepared to fire.

Vaetta performs a 5-foot Step, reloads her sling as a Move Action, and fires it as a Standard Action.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 1 - 2 = 9 (including +1 from Bless and -2 from Range modifiers.)
Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Vaetta breaks off to the right and runs up the slope with her sling in hand.
Vaetta spends her entire round Running up the slope (moving 80 ft.).

"I am sorry I froze up back there." Vaetta pleads as she regains her footing, and reloads her sling.
"Real combat is so different from what I expected it to be." She continues. "Is everyone alright, are we ready catch up to Janira? I'm a little worried about her..."

Vaetta moves forward 10 ft. as a Move Action, and fires her sling at the enemy as a Standard Action:
Attack Roll: 1d20 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 - 4 = 2 (Including the +1 for Inspire Courage and the -4 for firing into melee)
Damage Roll: 1d3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5(Including the +1 for Inspire Courage)

So who's acting in the Surprise Round? Besides Not-Vaetta I assume, given that I didn't even try to make a Perception Check (despite knowing OOC there was almost certainly a trap or a monster in this hallway).

Hmm, seems kinda contradictory to have rules for how a kind of Condition (afflictions, such as a disease) should be noted on the Chronicle Sheet; only to stipulate three pages later that such Conditions much be cleared before breaking table.
There must be some Afflictions which qualify as "conditions that impose no mechanical effect".

While she waits for Pelotita to finish wanding everyone, she will also edge down the path Too-Tuk chose. Anxious to join the battle, she keeps her sling loaded and ready, and draws one of her Chakram in the other hand.

Vaetta moves as quickly as she can into the cavern to support Pelotita. However, encumbered as she is, it is all she can do simply to catch up to the Halfling priestess.
{Full Move from B6 to I5 (35 ft.)}

Before the party moves to explore the rest of the cavern, Vaetta will be sure to have drawn and loaded her sling; with the remaining stones she collected earlier held loosely in her free hand.

Largely disinterested in the rituals themselves... Vaetta spends this time recording in her journal what has happened so far, what they've found, and the layout of the cavern system in as much detail as she can recall.

"I have no problem with that. If you are willing to take the vanguard, I will support you with my ranged weapons from the rear and protect our flanks." Vaetta says, handing the bundle of magical Ring, Amulet, and Cloak to Nagagorjo. Then she unloops her sling from her belt and gathers up a few appropriately sized stones to hurl with it.

"We can parcel the magical items I've collected as well, if you would like? Although there are only three of them, so we cannot divide them evenly..."
"I hope we do not encounter any more enemies, I only have enough psychic energy left in my aura to manifest weapons or cast simple knacks." Vaetta replies to Too-Tuk and Pelotita in turn.
"I would like to hold onto one of the healing potions, the potion of barkskin, and the flask of acid from Janira's pack. Too-Tuk should probably hold onto one or two of the scrolls and the healing wand, he will be able to use them easier than I." She continues.

Vaetta will also try to identify the items once Too-Tuk explains that they are magical, but remain unidentified.
Vaetta casts Detect Magic.
Spellcraft (Amulet): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Spellcraft (Ring): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Vaetta is quite willing to cut the dead man's ring finger off to remove the ring, manifesting a Psychic Handaxe to do so. If no one objects she will stow them in her backpack with the magical cloak she found earlier.

Vaetta flips through the journal with interest, which turns quickly to disgust, before stowing it in her backpack for inclusion in her later report.
"Once we are done looting the corpse of this would-be necromancer we should return to the priest and explain what we've found. Now that we have cleared the caverns of hostiles, I should also take a few moments to note their layout, as well as the rest of our findings, before we leave to find Janira. I hope she is okay..." She says.

Vaetta blinks groggily at the beaked face staring down at her.
"Just five more minutes? She asks wryly. Then she winces as her body reminds her that she is not in fact in a bed, but rather laying on an uncomfortably cold stone floor. Vaetta coughs and sits up; rubbing her ribs where the zombie's last strike had felled her.
"I did not realize zombies were so strong... it hurt worse than being kicked by a horse." She says, standing and brushing herself off.
"How long was I out?"

No plan survives contact with the enemy, and that zombie is terrifyingly powerful for a 1st level encounter. Plus the god of random number generation (RNGesus) truly hates Vaetta. Vaetta's first combat she wiffed four rounds in a row against an AC 15 Troglodyte...

Vaetta groans and staggers under force of the zombie's strike. She roars at the zombie, using her rage to drown out the pain.
"Nagagorjo, be ready to switch! Pelotita, Channel!" She commands, and then attempts to strike down the zombie with her blade.

Vaetta activates Godless Healing (Su) as a Move Action (which does not Provoke).
Godless Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 (Up to 6 HP)
Vaetta attacks the Zombie with her Psychic Falchion as a Standard Action.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9
(Dancing Lights 4/10 | Bless 3/10 | Shield 3/10)
If I'm still standing next round, I plan to Withdraw and switch to my Sling (since I just whiffed horribly and am running low on HP), and let Nagagorjo use his Morningstar to take down the remaining undead while I provide ranged support.

With Pelotita's blessings, Vaetta attempts to strike down the Zombie!

Vaetta attacks the Zombie with her Psychic Falchion as a Standard Action.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 22
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8 Slashing
(Dancing Lights 3/10 | Bless 2/10 | Blessing of the Faithful (Su) (Attack) 1/1 | (Shield 2/10)

Vaetta concentrates for a moment, manifesting an invisible shield to protect herself. Then she moves forward to block the corridor, bringing her Psychic Falchion to bear. As she does so, the glowing figure created by her magic pushes into the chamber to provide light.

Vaetta casts Shield as a Standard Action, and moves to D5 as a Move Action. She moves her Dancing Lights as a Non-Action.
Vaetta's AC is now 23 (17 + 4 Shield + 2 Sacred)
(Dancing Lights 2/10 | Bless 1/10 | Blessing of the Faithful (Su) 1/1 | (Shield 1/10)

"Perhaps, but did the priest not say something about how pilgrims had gone missing? I think it is safe to assume something fouler than trash is hiding amongst the detritus..." Vaetta says.
Manifesting Dancing Lights in its humanoid configuration, she sends the phantasm to stand at the hallway. {Marked on the map by a white 5-pointed star.}

Although she is obviously still pouting, Vaetta will follow Pelotita down the passage without complaint. Once they are out of the Gillman's line of sight, she will manifest her Psychic Falchion once again.

Vaetta nods vigorously at Pelotita's command, and tries to smile despite her apprehension. She was glad someone was able to befriend the priest, and that they wouldn't have to fight him, but was also very confused as to what she had done to be called 'unpleasant company'.
"I thought I was being quite polite..." Vaetta thinks to herself. She sniffles slightly, clearly upset by the difference in treatment, and pulls her long scarf in a futile attempt to disguise her pouting.

"We should most likely document these rituals in as much detail as we can... I wish Janira were here to advice us on how to proceed." Vaetta says uncertainly.
"If these carvings truly predate the Gillmen's habitation of these caverns, than their claim to this space is specious at best... I am uncomfortable with the idea of killing the priest if we don't have to, but I doubt he feels the same way, nor is he likely to allow us to fiddle with the city model. What do you think we should do Too-Tuk?"

"We are very sorry for the intrusion..." Vaetta begins, dismissing her weapon to emphasize her lack of hostility. "We are not here to defile your peoples' sacred place. Our organization has tasked us with surveying this cavern system. If you are willing to assist us with this task, perhaps we can complete our survey without infringing upon your faith? She asks hopefully.

Expecting imminent conflict; Vaetta takes a few steps forward and to the right, so that she is right beside Too-Tuk, sets her backpack down (bringing her to a light load), and manifests a psychic falchion.

Vaetta follows close behind Too-Tuk, not as interested in the reliefs as he is. She silently keeps an eye out for possible danger, concerned that their efforts to cross the chasm must have drawn some attention.

Perhaps... I was waiting for the others to get some posts in because otherwise with my preponderance of free time I could easily dominate the game's screen time. I'll post in a little while.

On the off chance that it is more than just a grimy bit of cloth, Vaetta casts Detect Magic and examines the cloak more closely.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Vaetta likewise secures her end of the rope using a piton and a psychically manifested magic hammer. She offers to either go first to test the rope, or go last to guard to rope while they cross; she is perfectly happy to do whichever her comrades seem to prefer.
While Vaetta crosses, she'll carry the trailing edge of the rope across with her so that the majority of the bundle is on the far side of the chasm with them. Then she'll attempt to use Mage Hand to retrieve the small bundle of cloth from the bottom of the pit before the party moves on.

Vaetta uncoils about 30 feet of silk rope from the bundle, knots it every few feet, ties off the end of the rope securely to the Piton, and tosses it softly to Nagagorjo.

"I hope you have something to secure the piton with..." Vaetta calls across the chasm. "Because I saw nothing to secure a grappling hook to from here, and I do not have a hammer which I can give you."
Nevertheless, Vaetta produces a bundle of silk rope, a grappling hook, and several pitons from her backpack.

"Hmm, I might be able to make the leap if I remove my armor and leave my backpack and belongings here. I have silk rope and pitons I can use to create a makeshift rope bridge. However it will be quite noisy; we will most likely lose the element of surprise." Vaetta says, looking to her comrades for their opinions.

{Vaetta takes 10 on the DC10 Knowledge (Dungeoneering) check for a result of 13.}
"Hmm, such an unusual place for a pit such as this... we must be close to something we are not meant to see. I fear the distance might be too great for me to leap across safely." Vaetta says, looking around for a way to cross the chasm.
{Are there any stalagmites or outcroppings of rock on either side of the pit which Vaetta could tie a rope to? Or anything similar on the far side of the pit which she could secure a grappling hook against?}

"I can provide some light as well." Vaetta says. She concentrates for a moment, and manifests four small spheres of light which hover in a wide circle around her.
Vaetta casts Dancing Lights. She'll recast the spell every minute until otherwise noted.

Vaetta bites her lip. She was tempted to disobey Janira's orders and attack the beast, but she was sure her mentor knew what she was doing. Vaetta turns and follows her peers into the cave.

I have company arriving late this evening that will demand much of my attention for the next several days. So most likely I will be limited to no more than one post a day over the weekend, instead of the four or five I can normally manage.

Agreed, you have the best odds of the four of us, with automatic success on a 10 with any one person's Aid. I'll attempt to Aid Too-Tuk.
Aid Another: Survival: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17 (Success!)

"That was my first time dealing with a swarm. Is it surprising how simple mosquitos can become such a threat to otherwise well equipped adventurers. I think I shall have to acquire a few items to deal with such threats when I visit the market next." Vaetta ponders aloud as she releases her sword, allowing it to fade into nothingness.
"I am sorry I was unable to warn you in advance Nagagorjo, but the wand I used on you was sold to me a creepy looking fellow who warned me it was not without side effects. I'm told the spell uses demon's blood to accelerate natural healing, so it has no effect on wounds caused by silver weapons. It's side effects may include malevolent urges, delusions of indestructibility, and the ire of Paladins and Good Inquisitors, whose spells may mistake you for being Evil." Vaetta babbles apologetically as she returns said wand to its wrist sheath.

Combined with Pelotita's Channel, you should be back up to full HP before we move on Nagagorjo. I lack a Healing Kit (or ranks in Heal) so there isn't much I can do about your diseases however.

Vaetta curses her poor judgment in varisian as her spell has no effect on the swarm, guessing that her weapon is unlikely to fair any better, she steps over to Nagagorjo and uses her wand to prevent him from bleeding out. "Damn my poor judgement, I should have had acid flasks for just this reason!" She complains.

Vaetta moves from Q17 to Q19 as a Move Action.
Vaetta uses her Wand of Infernal Healing as a Standard Action.
---Nagagorjo gains Fast Healing 1 against most forms of damage, and detects as Evil for the next minute (10 Rounds).

Attempt to identify the swarm as a Non-Action (DC 9).
Knowledge (Nature) (Untrained): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

If weapons won't work... I'll try magic instead!" Vaetta says. She takes one hand from her weapon and concentrates for a moment, a lightning bolt manifests in her hand and she hurls it into the mass of the swarm.

Vaetta takes a 5-foot step away from the swarm.
Casting Deadeye's Arrow as a Standard Action.
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Vaetta draws her Wand of Infernal Healing from her wrist sheath as a Move Action. She is now wielding her Spiked Gauntlet in her primary hand while holding her Psychic Weapon with her primary hand, and her wand with her off-hand.

Vaetta gasps in surprise, stunned for a moment before her training kicks in. She rushes past Pelotita, stopping adjacent to a tree some ten feet from the swarm. Vaetta pantomimes drawing a sword from a scabbard, yet by some trick, a large, curved sword actually materializes in her hand. The blade glows softly lavender as she holds it before her with both hands.

Round 1
Vaetta moves diagonally from M20 to P17 (20 feet) as a Move Action.
Vaetta manifests a Psychic Weapon (+1 Falchion) as a Standard Action (reserving 3 points from her Arcane Pool which will return when the weapon disappears).

That is indeed pretty similar, the general interface is the same, so it must have been a Google Doc. The only difference was there was a comments bar at the bottem, and a side bar you could select "slides" from, so he may have used a Presentation instead of a Drawing as the basis for his.

The rules for Stealth also say I have to "Beat" the enemy's Stealth Roll, not simply "Equal or Exceed" it. Although it does suck to roll a natural twenty and still fail a check. :P

I'll PM my last GM and see if he can explain how he did it. It was downright handy, he could mark squares affected by a spell (such as Burning Hands), I could move my own token during my turn, or mark where I dropped my backpack. It also had a Notes section that could be used like an Instant Messenger if you were both looking at the document (because it automatically saved changes as you made them).

I am unsure exactly how he did it, but the GM for my previous PbP PFS Game had a set up that allowed his players to move their own tokens, create markers indicating movement paths, etc. It was very convenient. I think he was using a shared Google Document.
I will try to figure out how he did it in the morning, and get back to you if I am successful.

Also, am I correct in assuming the light grey 10 ft. diameter circle is the "swarm".
