Viola Nacosto's page

I am also using my downtime for off-hours study.

[[ooc]] Thank you Gm Dennis for running, this has been fun! I look forward to hopefully adventuring with you all again sometime! [[\ooc]]

Viola is going to go back to being sneaky, while keeping a watchful eye on the rest of the party.

stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15I’m going to use my own coin hero point to try that again
stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

I think I need to get some boots without laces. Viola thinks to herself as her foot gets caught up.

Viola will help Katrina with keeping watch.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Viola continues to hug the shadows, moving quietly and attempting to stay unnoticed.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 Spends Hero Point
Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

That was a little too close for comfort.

Viola will attempt to avoid the undead, as she slips stealthily toward the boat.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

"Katrina, let me see if I can help, since at least some of those came from you helping me." Viola pulls out a couple of bandages from her bag and tries to patch up Katrina's injuries.

Treat Wounds: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
healing: 2d8 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

"Does this help?"

"Well, that was interesting." Viola that mutters a few words over her rapier until the blade sparkles, then puts both of her weapons away.

She then reaches to take the note from Fumbus and examine it. "As for this, Fumbus you're right. It seems as if the thoughts these words have stolen are them thinking they need to stop us before we are able to find out the truth of the situation - why else would you stop an investigation?

"Some people really never learn, do they? When will people learn they can live if they just stop?" Viola mutters to herself as she moves up to flank the last bandit with Katrina. As she plants her footing, she looks at the bandit and pleasantly reminds them "Just remember, you get what you get, and you don't throw a fit!" as she lunges at them with her rapier.

+1 Striking Rapier vs B1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 = 27
Piercing: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1) + 4 + 1 = 11
Precision: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Possible Crit: 3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) + 4 + 1 = 13 This is additional damage, so total of 25 damage.

"Katrina, cover me!" Viola yells as she takes a short step into flanking. Then she stabs at the human she is now flanking.

+1 Striking Rapier vs B4: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 = 17
Piercing: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 + 1 = 10
Precision: 1d6 ⇒ 3

+1 Striking Dagger vs B4: 1d20 + 11 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 11 - 4 + 1 = 16
Piercing: 2d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + 1 = 8
Precision: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Seeing the one that she was facing fall to the ground, Viola just steps forward to the goblin directly in front of her.
Moved on map to be in front of B4.

Thank you for clarification.

Are we able to step into the trees on the map to surround them, or would that be difficult terrain/give them cover?

"Ouch! That wasn't very nice!"
Viola draws her rapier from its sheath and her dagger from her bandolier. She then stabs at them with each hand. I guess I'll have to return the favor!

+1 Striking Rapier vs B5: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Piercing: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10
Possible Crit: 2d6 + 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 5) + (8) + 4 = 18 This would be additional, so total 28 damage
+1 Striking Dagger vs B5 Flatfooted: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 11 - 4 = 15
Piercing: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
Precision: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Dagger is +1 striking due to Doubling Rings

GM Dennis, where would you like us to note our exploration mode activity?

Viola studies the letter thoughtfully, and then looks up, "Her letter stays that she thinks this may have been an act by her partner in the venture to collect the insurance money. Surely that couldn't have been worth more than completing the job? Why would someone want to destroy their own work?"

I keep ending up going to these shipwrecks... Maybe I need to invest some time in improving my swimming???

"Also, do you know if there is somewhere here where I might find a bag of holding? I think that I need something a little more watertight to hold my gear..." she questions and gestures at her waterstained backpack.

I am giving my glyph Hero Point to Sun Fire Boom Boom - for that lovely song, as well as because working against his former companions may be tricky.

A pale-skinned, dark-haired human sits at the table, pulling out a well-worn leather-bound notebook from her backpack, and a pencil from behind her ear.

"Viola Nacasto, proud Pathfinder and adopted intern of the Blakros Museum. Venture Captain, this is a farm warmer place than my last mission, and I thank you for it."

She then smiles warmly at the rest of the group, as she prepares to take notes through the Venture Captain's briefing.

Name: Ivis

Viola spends most of the journey back chronicling the details of the adventure in her field journal, occasionally taking time to enjoy the view after the weather clears.

___________________

After their debriefing, she looks around at her companions, "I have enjoyed adventuring with you all, and I hope that I see you again. Until the will of Desna joins us - farewell." She then walks out of the lodge, humming to herself and heading to the docks to book passage back to Absalom.

I'm glad that wasn't a large serpent, but it still was messy. If we hadn't been cautious, we could have been toast - look at Torvald." Viola stows her rapier and dagger back in their sheathes, then glances around before carefully walking back across the boards.
Searching as well before we head off, then Acrobatics to cross the boards.
Search: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Kate - Thank you!!!

Viola moves swiftly, coming up behind the snek and surprising it with the point of her rapier, as she moves back into flanking with Salliss.

Rapier, IC: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14
Piercing, IC: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7

Stride, Strike, Strike

Thanks, I can use it! Grateful for the flanking from Salliss, Viola strikes out at the snek, thrusting towards it, but having trouble staying on target as she maneuvers on the slippery deck.

Rapier, IC: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 = 15
Piercing, IC: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11

Viola lunges out from the shadow of the ship wall, striking at the serpent near her with her rapier. Then she reaches into her belt for her dagger, flipping it in hand and stabbing with it as well.

Rapier: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 191d6 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (4) = 14

Attack action from hidden
Interact to draw dagger
Attack action with agile dagger

Viola silently shakes her head as she draws her rapier, and moves towards the side of the ship. Snakes? Of course there had to be more - missions never go as easily as planned. Then she crouches down, hoping to sneak up on them if they come onto the deck.

Interact to draw rapier.
Stride across the ship (20ft).
Last action Hide against the side of the ship.

I was going to ask something similar - I thought that they were possibly closer/below deck from how we ended up interacting with them, but are they where the #1 & #2 appear on the map? It will help me determine what I am doing.

I'm sorry for my silence, I realized this morning that the posts I had written Sunday night and yesterday didn't actually post. :-(

Viola looks at Salliss and focuses, helping to dry him off using prestidigitation.

"I agree that this is probably Hlavard, there as who else would have this piece?"

Once he is dry she pulls her own blanket from her bag and wraps up Hlavard's body.

"We can give him some dignity and respect by covering him up until we are able to get him to where he will be put to rest."

"I can go ahead and keep an eye out for danger," Viola says as she starts to walk ahead.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Stepping onto the boards, Viola feels her feet slide as she works to navigate the boards. Quietly, she reminds the others "Be careful, these boards are just as slick as the ropes from the downpour." She then works to avoid each crack as she slowly starts to step from boat to boat.

I have added avatars to slide 3 for myself and Viola. Pip was already there!

Torvald and Gorholt, if you need help just point me to the avatar you want and I will get it to slide 3. Once there, it should be relatively easy for you to cut and paste it to slide 1. If you want it out directly on slide 1, just tell me about where you want it.

Thanks for the advice - I went ahead and added it in. Also, GM Kate Did we start with 1 hero point or no? If you said so, I missed it.

As far as the posting issue, I changed my default to Viola for the duration of this, so that hopefully I don't have issues with it being the wrong one again. Switching it is taking some time to remember.

I'm fine going near the front, especially as I realized I didn't put anywhere I have the trap finder feat - which could help.

I believe because of this I can Scout, but still be aware of traps (at least those I would find through Searching), but correct me if I am wrong.

They tend to start a new line, but you can include a label with them.

As a comparison, if I do <open bracket>spoiler=Dagger<close bracket>This is a glamered great axe made to look like a clan dagger.<closing spoiler> it would look like:

** spoiler omitted **

Vs not having anything in the spoiler area.

Dagger** spoiler omitted **

Note the colon (:) was inserted by the spoiler tag in both cases.

Thank you! Relearning html type coding is a curve - I haven't used it since I stopped writing on Xanga.

When I had to make my first roll, I literally rolled a dice in a tray here by laptop, which is what I thought everybody who Plays By Post was doing, until I discovered the dice code provided by BB. Oops. I've now experimented with it and figured out how to use it, I think, but I have a question.

Are y'all using the Preview function to see the outcome of the die roll before you finish your post? It looks like the board retains the result of the first roll so you can maintain the consistency?

I don't know about everyone else, but that's what I did.

Viola attempts to climb up on the side to secure the ropes, but cannot get a sturdy hold on the slick ropes as she struggles to balance on the edge of the deck.

BOONS SLOTTED:

1) Grand Archive Champion

2) Promotional Service Award-Campaign Coin (Promotional)

GM Glyph Hero Point - Torvald, as it is his first assignment. :-)

Also, a question - how do I get the spoiler tags to stay in line with where I want them instead of starting a new line?

Just before the Venture Captain begins his explanation, Viola rushes into the room, clutching a worn leather-bound journal. She quickly sits on the ground next to Mahki, giving her a familiar smile and scratch behind the ears. She then pulls a pencil from behind her ear to take notes as he gives his mission briefing.

If I apologize for being late I'll just be drawing attention that isn't needed, especially since I would have to interrupt everyone to ensure he can see to hear me. I don't want to upset him, especially with the positive welcome he gave us after our last mission.

After listening to his directions, and the questions of the others, she finally speaks up, with a quiet voice.

"Though the sailors are unsure of what caused the ship to crash, are there any creatures that are known to be in that area? Or legends of such? Often I find that there is more truth in the tales that are passed down to us than we want to admit."

GM Kate, is there a place that you would like to see slotted boons?

As far as seeing everyone, I probably have not. While in Absalom, I work with my mentor, Bella Rose Blakros at the esteemed Blakros Museum in the Acquisitions department. I work to help make sure that items that are too dangerous to the public make their way to the Grand Lodge so that they are under a more watchful eye than her cousin Nigel.

Thank you Zaridlara. I should be able to use that and get formatted myself formatted sometime this evening. <3
