It'd be fine, starting from the beginning isn't ideal, but who knows.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Valanos takes the sojourn to his lodge in Cheliax, returning successfully. No fanfare is needed, he was following orders, but he does ask for higher responsibilities.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
I was saying that if we were cutting down players, checking daily wouldn't do much good. It is easy enough now for me to check daily, I was moving, so I my time was taken.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
I'm up for it, though it'll be me checking once a week or so. Keep me informed.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Valanos does not react strangely to anything the merchant says, it all seems acceptable.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Go 20....
sense motive 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
If the merchant is escorted back, Valanos will be rear guard, alternating watching forward and backward at irregular intervals to not create a pattern for anyone watching.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
I'm awaiting group concensus, we have a majority now, so I will make the call.
"We have a majority vote, come along halfling, freedom or death awaits."
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Assuming a majority agree to escort the halfling
"Let us be off then, where to now?"
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
"Finally an answer. I will agree with a majority, so let us be off then, with the merchant ideally."
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
"You still haven't stated if you have any skills. If you have no abilities, you're a liability, and if so, dead weight on us. What use is gold when the goal is to survive?"
sense motive 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
"What can you offer halfling? What skills do you possess that will aid us?"
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Valnos will place the box in the bag of holding.
He will be ready to use it if a major opponent appears, and it is needed.
"Shall we proceed, or are we waiting here?"
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
"If the halfling shies away from it, and it has strong necromantic energy, I wish to ensure it is safely investigated."
"Is anyone willing or able to dispel any effects from such a weapon if I open the box, or touch it? It needs to be checked, I was thinking doing so later would be safe, and it would be undetectable within the bag."
Valanos stops before placing the box in the bag of holding, places it on the floor, and readies to open it, and peer inside. He looks at the spellcasters, waiting for their actions.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
That's a reasonable idea. I was thinking in character what he would like to do, a test of wills, to hold it for himself, feel the power. I know that's not the norm with such games, but rp is what I enjoy.
Valanos will approach the box, pick it up, and place it in his bag of holding, unless stopped.
"Safe keeping"
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
If Jequine states the box is free of traps, Valanos will approach the box. If able, he will use his foot to lift the lid, and peer inside.
(see description in above post).
DM:
If the conditions are met, Valanos will conduct what is stated within the spoiler.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
What does the box look like, locks, etc?
"Are there magic traps on the box, or simply the strong magic radiating? A weapon that steals souls, any idea how, or is it as the wielder wishes?"
Valanos moves within 10 ft of the box, inspecting it visually, attempting to feel the necromantic energy as well.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
I believe a 10th level character would have knowledge of the schools of magic, at least the names, and basic functions. Such is why I asked directly about necromancy, as Valanos would believe it may be undead related.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
"What type of magic, and the aura's strength?"
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
"What wagers does Keraptis engage in?"
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Valanos enters the room cautiously, weapon ready, avoiding inhaling the smoke, but within 30 ft of the halfling.
"When did Keraptis trap you here, and why?"
Internet issues prevented responding
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Requested dice roll: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Valanos moves behind Gerant, and waits. If nothing occurs after the first few steps, Valanos follows, flail ready, ready action to attack any hostile, or trap.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Valanos will check the manticore's body for sigils or any physical signs of control, or magical detection. If nothing found, he will take the largest tooth of the manticore, and a wing scrap (using his dagger, about 1x1 ft), then tuck them away. If something is found, he will alert the group.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
"I would like to meet this fellow, to have this affect on its minions."
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Proximity of Valanos to Jequine, could he intercede? Also, if intercession possible, rerolling of attack and damage values necessitated?
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Valanos will take a move action to be within melee range, or hold action until the manticore is within range.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Attack 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 and 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Damage 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 and 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Valanos will jump down, initiative is 4, weapon ready.
I'm assuming sand is rough terrain, unable to charge? The manticore can, as flight allows such things.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Jmp check or anything to reduce damage down the pipe, estimate of falling distance?
"How far to the ground?"
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
"Sounds like he is in trouble. He will require assistance, let us go."
Infernal
Ready flail, and ready action to attack the beast when able.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Charisma to impress another is circumstantial. Sheridan or Jequine are best; sheridan knows the capabilities of the beast, and Jequine can speak well.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
In a low tone-"Whomever can speak well, and defend themselves. Some buffing spells would be appropriate."
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Am I able to examine the spikes, velocity, and spread of attack to ID something of the creature?
Know dungeoneering 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Initiative1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
"That makes this much simpler, I suppose it's time we continued on. I elect Jequine, Sharidan and the elemental move first, as they have the better mobility."
Infernal
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Valanos can't do anything regarding swimming and recon as well as the others.
"Send the summoned creatures as scouts, I believe we can still breathe water so let us make haste. If scouts are found, have them lead them up the pipe, creating a fatal funnel, we kill them at our leisure."
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
I'm still here, life is taking my time.
"So we have flight for up to maybe 3, depending on the weight Gannertung can hold, more water, and several potential enemies. If they are like those from last time, we will need to coordinate now our tactics. Is anyone able to create the eye that scouts ahead, a spell of some kind?"
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Situational awareness:
Perception 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
I state everything the know dungeoneering check gave to the group
"If we can learn these techniques, they would be quite useful to our respective kingdoms. Let us continue our sojourn, we've survived to this point.
Also Jequine, if you can harvest the venom, I would like to know the exact processes for my own edification."
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Knowledge dungeoneering 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Looking for information on sand, glass steel, specifics of creation or use in defense, hidden things, etc.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
5 foot step to scorpion 3, full attack
Atk 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 and 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Damage 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 and 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Free action drop bow, 5 foot step to close into melee drawing the flail as part of the 5 foot step move.
1st atk (power atk -2 atk, +6 damage) 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
2nd atk 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Damage 1st atk 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
2nd atk 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
As the scorpions haven't acted yet, they are technically flat-footed, unless Pathfinder changed that rule.
Valanos will fire his longbow at the scorpion to his front (in relation to B3), the single one.
Atk 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Damage 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Valanos will move to B3, flail ready, ready action to attack an hostile.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Initiative1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Flail at the ready.
How loose is the sand, movement impairments?
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
Swim check 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Valanos will follow the rest, taking the rear. Ready action to hold breath, if needed.
Male Half Elf Fighter 7
"Deft use of your abilities, I'm ready for whatever is next."
