Vasily Petrescu - PFS's page

Vasily, I had used the PFS # you entered at the start of the game. :) Have amended in the chronicle sheet and also updated the report. All's good now!

Clearly my fault. Thanks for correcting! And for a great game. I ran this way back in one of my first GM tables (on 80 now), and had forgotten how fun it was.

Looks like a typo on my PFS Number. Should be 75247-7 and my Chron sheet says 72547 instead. Wonder if you entered it wrong on the site as well?

I can manually correct the Chronicle sheet if you don't want to hassle with a new one, but you might see if you can edit the report still.

Vasily, ever hungry for a buck, looks through the corpses of the downed Warhounds, and searches the captive before turning him over to whatever authorities there are.

He goes back and looks through the pyramid headquarters as well.

Hearing that the man leapt from the upper story, Vasily runs back out of the central tower, and gives pursuit as quick as he can. When he sees the magic pit appear, however, he slows enough not to be engulfed in it.

With all the minions down, Vasily enters the tower waiting at the base of the stairs to ready himself for the final battle. He looks on in wonder as the muddy elemental stomps up the stairs past him.

Move action to get to the steps. Will double move up the steps next turn unless the fight is ended by then.

From 50' away from the front door, Vasily charges the Orange War Hound, stabbing at him as he comes, more brutal frontal assault than finesse attack this time.

Vasily rapier, charge: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 = 23
Dmg, if hit: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Round 5

Vasily takes one more shot at one of the thugs with his crossbow but misses again. Seeing the fight is devoling quickly, he leaves the crossbow behind and hustles forward drawing his rapier as he moves forward.

Vasily Crossbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Standard action to fire, free to drop the crossbow. Move action to advance 30' forward (should be 50' away now). Free action to draw rapier while moving.

Unexpected travel has intruded on my plans to post yesterday and today. I do plan to get updates in place tomorrow. Feel free to bot me as needed to keep the game moving. Apologies!

Vasily shoots at one of the archers on the ground floor. Even if he doesn't hit one, he's trying to keep them under cover as his friends near the base of the tower. His shot is miserably aimed however and doesn't have any effect. He spends a quick second to reload and crank the light crossbow.

Vasily crossbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Vasily will continue forward. When he gets within 80', he will look for whatever cover is available, if any, and get behind that. Once in position, Vasily says, "I will keep them covered while the rest of you close in."

Move Action move minimum 60', more if cover available. Use cover, if any available.

With the dogs dispatched, Vasily regains his bow, shouldering it as he advances closer to the pyramid structure.

Move Action to retrieve crossbow, Move Action to move forward another 30' to 140' from the entrance.

Round 2

Seeing the dogs sprint ahead, Vasily takes aim at the one nearest (pink if all are equal) and fires his crossbow. Now that the curs are much closer, he feels the penetrating power of his crank bow will have more effect. The rogue gauges the distance run and drops his crossbow, taking out his rapier for close in fighting as the dogs get closer.

Vasily crossbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Dmg, if crit: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Standard action to fire. If not a crit confirm, damage is 4, not 5. Drop unloaded crossbow as free action. Move action to draw rapier.

Vasily is familiar with the effect, and nods at Garduk. Nice to know there was someone who could give him that leg up.

Seeing his crossbow is not very effective from this range, Vasily moves forward 30' staying behind whatever cover is available, and reloads the crossbow.

Move to 170' away, Move Action to reload.

Vasily targets the center dog and fires his crossbow at the beast. It's a good bit of range, but surprise has its benefits. Unfortunately, the bolt flies harmlessly past the target.

Vasily Crossbow, range increment x2: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 4 = 9

Vasily follow behind Kulga, keeping as low to the ground and behind rocks as possible. His range with the crossbow is a bit shorter than this, but he doesn't think tethered dogs will be too hard a target if it comes to that.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Vasily looks at the three dogs, and says, "We could always try one of those backdoors inside. I'm fairly certain I could get us inside there, even if they are locked. Not really worried about the dogs, but they do raise a racket."

If you'd like to try an alternate door, just let me know.

Vasily watches the dancing priestess touched by her performance, but when Kulga speaks, he understands there is still work to be done. Shouldering his crossbow once again, he hurries after the dwarf warrior, following her to Nessian's location.

Vasily takes careful aim at the one remaining foe, unsure if his bolt will even damage the operative if it hits. The rogue reaches for another bolt as soon as the first is on its way, cranking the crossbow as quickly as he can.

Vasily crossbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Dmg, if hit: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Standard to shoot, move to reload. Not sure if that's a hit or not...

i am traveling a bit over this weekend, so if I miss a turn, please bot me. Vasily plans to use his crossbow the rest of this fight unless circumstances change, working on the higher elevation foes first.

Should be back in the saddle normally on Monday. I may be able to post over the weekend, but don't let me hold things up.

Now that the priestess was in charge of the spinning the tunes, Vasily could focus on the remaining skeletal operatives. Problem was, those two that were 30' above his head. With only a rapier for melee weapon, his luck against them wasn't going to be great. INstead, he sheathed his rapier, and took out his crossbow. Might not have much better effect but at least he wasn't going to have to climb to get there.

He loaded his crossbow, ready to fire at the upper target when time permitted.

Move action to stow rapier, another move action to ready crossbow.

Knowing they have to keep the music going, Vasily trots across the end of the keyboard, ending by climbing atop one of the minor keys, behind Kulgra.

Move Action to try to depress 4 keys and another to climb to black (minor) key. You might make sure I get all the checks right. With a +12 to Acrobatics, Vasily can move across the four keys without chance of failure (D5 to DC11).

Perform DC 10, +8 circ bonus for 5 keys: 1d20 + 2 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 8 = 29
DC 10 Climb, minor key: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Understanding that the big threat is the lack of music from the organ, Vasily leaves the undead assault to his capable allies and rushes off towards the keyboard. Drawing his rapier as he runs to the keys, he then pulls himself up on the nearest key quite easily.

DC 5 Climb check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
DC 10 Peform check (if able, see below): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Is that Climb check Vasily's second move action? Not sure what kind of action it counts for. If he has any move remaining this turn he will hop to adjacent white key and try to make the Perform check.

They are probably immune to electrical...if I follow the story of Lenny's successes the right way.

Before it gets too crowded, Vasily rushes up towards the altar ducking behind with hte priestess when he arrives. "I am little use against these bony fellows," says Vasily to the others. "I can try to keep the music going while you dispatch the ones down here. I can also likely climb if we need to get to the top there."

Vasily's rapier won't help much against skels. But he does have Acrobatics to pull off the keys. He can Climb a bit.

Much as he wants to shut Nessian down now that they ahve the location, Vasily understands the the cathedral presents a more immediate and dire threat. He takes a moment but the risk calculation is pretty easy to make.

"I think we have to make sure the city is safe and not filled with walking dead before we deal with Nessian. To the Cathedral!"

"Have we tried mimicking the faces?" asks Vasily, who was busy looking at the other boxes until now.

He tries to ape the same looks that are on the sides of the box.

Not sure if a check of some kind is needed? I will add an untrained perform just in case.

Vasily Perform act, untrained: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Thanks for the bot, glad I could get the straightforward one open.

Vasily wonders if the top of the smooth chest is actually illusory. Concentrating as much as possible, he tries to discern if the top is really truly there, pushing his hand against the top and into the box if possible.

Vasily Will?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

or

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Consistent at least...

I am traveling for work this week. Leaving tomorrow evening, returning Thursday afternoon. I should be able to post some during this trip, but may get sidetracked. If I am holding actions up, please feel free to bot Vasily.

Vasily looks at Hotshot while he expounds, then nods along. "Staying neutral in such matters is easy, but what, let's say, if you had self-interest at stake. Knowing you you deal in information, perhaps there is a quid pro quo to be worked out here that overcomes your noble sense of fairness? What can we provide that would be equitable to you?"

Vasily, if he understands it right, believes that Torch trades in information, not just gives it away, so perhaps there is something we know or can do that will result in his helping share Nessian's location.

"What she said..." says Vasily giving Kulga another surprised look. Was there anything that dwarf couldn't do? Vasily had heard the rumors about Grandmaster Torch, a dealer in information both above board and below, but he never thought those stories were real. He is a bit taken aback to be in the presence of such a legend.

Vasily grimaces as the thought of that poison in the city's food supply sinks in. "Where do find Torch now? We need to get to him, and then to Nessian quickly."

Round 3

Vasily moves up to the last doorway, and attacks the red skeleton from behind, his rapier rattling in the hollow ribcage of the skeleton, causing some damage, but is it enough?

Vasily rapier: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Dmg, if hit: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

I will bypass the Green skeleton since he missed AoO and leave him for those behind me, while I get in position to aid Harry next round by finishing my move as mapped.

I must make a quick out of town trip the next two days. The travel will be late at night both nights, so it may disrupt my ability to post until Friday. Feel free to bot Vasily as needed.

Vasily's actions will be contingent on what happened on the turns before.

I am running that AP on the boards, and my group is in second half of book 1 (the orc assault) and struggling to survive. They are all overcome with smoke inhalation inside a burning house that is

Vasily moves into the room, plowing through the grain when needed, to come into suppor of Kulga on her left. The rogue makes sure his other flank is covered by the wall, and not exposed.

Vasily draws his rapier and follows along with the dwarf, who surpriseds him by slipping into silent mode. He moves along with her, following the blood trail mbut mostly trying to stay quiet and out of sight.

Stealth, Kulga bonus: 1d20 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 5 = 36

"Interestin' story," says Vasily, not really believing the bits that were just a little to far-fetched, like undead marines rising from the sea to invade Abasalom. Instead of getting drawn into the old man's delusions, Vasily cuts to the chase. "Where's this Nessian now, then?"

Vasily throws in his two cents worth to convince the man to give over the codebook. "Isn't that what this gang of Warhounders was after you for? If someone hired them to get the codebook, don't you think they'll just try something else? Giving it to us saves your life, you keeping it means tonight was only the appetizer."

Diplomacy, to aid1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Round 2

Seeing that the dwarf warrior has the old men for now, Vasily focuses on the remaining Warhounder, stabbing at him with his rapier while he considers what he might have heard about this gang, now that the name is known. His rapier slips into the remaining man easily, hurting him badly.

Know Local, warhounders?: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Vasily rapier: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Vasily crit confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Dmg, critical hit: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 2) + 8 = 13

If it's not a crit for some reason, the damage would only be 7hp. If the attack drops the foe, Vasily will move as indicated next to Kulgra to aid with the rescue next round. If he's not down, Vasily will hold position.

Vasily moves to a corner of the battle, striking out quickly against a foe who is still flat-footed with his rapier. "I doan know what t'hell is goin' on here, but this caper's 'bout t'come t'a bitter end." The finesse rogue looks on with admiration as Kulga just brute forces one into the sea, leaping into the mass of bad guys.

Vasily rapier, sneak, vs FF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
DMg, if hit, sneak: 1d6 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (6, 3, 5) = 21

If Vasily scores a hit with his sneak attack, he will use Debilitating Injury to bewilder his foe, which causes any attacks vs Vasily to be at -2 penalty for one round. If he's dead, then no worries...

Vasily stands in the rain hood up, eyes darting from place to place, missing nothing. "Name's Vasily." He says, with a clear hint of the Varisian about his accent and his looks. His olive skin and dark hair mark him as from those people even if he didn't speak. "I can getcha in places others can't an' I can getcha out 'gain too. Nimble with a blade an' can move quiet-like when t'need is on me. Sometimes, Society work takes...finesse. That's what I specialize in."

After the Soggy Piper turns out to be a near-miss, Vasily says to the others, "Looks like we missed 'r man, here. An' we weren't the only uns lookin' fer 'im. This codebook must be t'real deal. Reckon we head fer this Torren's Maw an' fin' t'rube an' his book..for someun else does."

Know Local, Torren's Maw: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Thanks for waiting, the rest of the gang looks great. I will be ready for action Sunday evening. Thanks!

Hate to do this right off the bat, but I will be away this weekend, starting tomorrow through Sunday, and will have difficulty finding time/place to post. May get one in, but probably not much more.

Will return Sunday evening.

thanks for running the game. I am certain it is more complicated running one of these multi-table specials than a typical scenario. Thanks again!

Vasily continues to press fowrard, continuing to sing his song of inspiration, and guarding against the grappling attacks of the tentacles.

Continue BP as free action, Move foward as Move action, take Total Defense as Standard. With acrobatics bonus, Total Defense is +6, which makes AC 25 and CMD 24 this round.

Vasily DJ: Perform Strings: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Know Religion: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Know Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Not sure if either of those are of any use.
