Wraax and Mr. Kitteh's page

"As long as Wrigglemaw exists, you will feel hunted. Become the hunters and finally choose your own destiny"

Wraax Commands Mr.Kitteh to Stride to support Arfsnarf, sending her into a flank before she bites at Black.

bite vs flanked: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28piercing, precision, and fire damage: 2d6 + 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + (4) + 3 + 1 = 16

He then Strides into the space Mr Kitteh just vacated, flanking Red with Barrek, before attacking with his scythe
+1 striking scythe vs flat-footed: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30slashing and gravity: 2d10 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 10) + 4 + 4 = 20
end turn

as that might be a crit, here's the deadly on the scythe.

deadly d10: 1d10 ⇒ 5

Wraax Strides forwards into the fray. Then commands Mr. Kitteh into a flank behind the enemies, and flanking for Barrek aswell. Before she attempts to bite Blue.

Bite vs flanked: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24piercing, precision and fire damage: 2d6 + 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + (4) + 3 + 1 = 11

Finally, Wraax flicks his scythe out at Blue, attempting to end the biloko's threat.
+1 striking scythe vs flanked: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23slashing damage with gravity weapon bonus: 2d10 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8, 3) + 4 + 4 = 19

end turn, hoping those hit.

I am sorry I was out lst week... it was one emergency after another.

sense motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Wraax will openly challenge Efala on her story of bravery, suggesting that while in some circles, bragging and extending the truth may be considered normal, he does not believe one should need to do so, and that ones actions should speak for themselves.

Wraax, stubborn as he is, will repeat the same action as last time.

Wraax, not being good at social interactions, will simply pass on any information he learns, via goblin, to Arfsnarf. "Efala seems interested in the martial lores, and is strongly against flattery." Warfare lore is easiest skill, focussing on flattery is a resistance. and continues to study individuals.

Perception +8 on Irena to make a Discovery.

If Garad is going weakness, flip me to skill and resistance then... Or two skills if can't split info like that.

Wraax would, if possible, like to know her one lowest skill to influence, and her weakness.

Wraax will give Efala Toru a deep look over and examination, both of person and of equipment.

Discover using Scouting Lore. +6... I am somehow horribly wrongly skilled for this cross-country wilderness survival outing, considering nothing wants my survival, athletics, or stealth XD

Wraax will first mark Yellow as his Prey, then Stride to the far side of Yellow, Flanking with Barrek, then finally, attempt to Strike it with his scythe.

+1 striking scythe vs flanked: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
slashing and Precision damage: 2d10 + 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 10) + (6) + 4 = 25

Mr. Kitteh, as an intelligent Mature Companion, will Stride up alongside Wraax.

end turn

EDIT: Seeing as that was a nat 20 for, I hope, a crit, here's the Scythe's Deadly damage. Deadly D10: 1d10 ⇒ 8

... we are trying g to track down a group of people. While navigating the wilds... and the scenario writer didn't include the survival in the list. The skill that is specifically about tracking and navigating the wilds XD something I'll note in my review.

Wraax and Mr. Kitteh will explore about to find signs of the Song-os.
Scouting Lore: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14
well, with that roll, not gonna matter what skill I use

Wraax will nod, "Yes, the Song'os is who we seek. To return to them something... Lost... Bilokos on the other hand... The jungle can have 'em."

Wraax is not one for diplomacy either, however he is also not one for being taken advantage of. For now, he will hold his tongue, but Mr. Kitteh senses his unease and growls slightly more often than usual.

Wraax will check himself and Mr. Kitteh over. Seeing how injured she is, he will use both school potions on her.

minor healing potion Mr. Kitteh: 1d8 ⇒ 6
minor healing potion Mr. Kitteh: 1d8 ⇒ 1

then, recognizing his own injuries, will use Erevan's provided elixir on himself

minor elixir of life Wraax: 1d6 ⇒ 5

After going through all the provided healing from the school and his compatriot Erevan, Wraax grits his teeth in annoyance. "Of course it had to be a couple enemies capable of trampling us... So much harder to heal from."

Wraax will pull out his last personally bought minor elixir of life and give it to Mr. Kitteh. Saving his lesser healing potions for if things turn south again.

minor elixir of life Mr. Kitteh: 1d6 ⇒ 1 oof

So, Mr. Kitteh is now 20/36, and Wraax is 32/50... Will update my stat block presently.

Mr. Kitteh Reflex save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Wraax Reflex save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

After Mr. Kitteh gets trampled hard, Wraax has had enough. Studying the Brown Hippo, he steps up to it, and swings his scythe at it.

+1 Striking Scythe: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21Slashing, Precision damage: 2d10 + 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8, 9) + (2) + 4 = 23

◆ Study target
◆ Stride
◆ Strike

Mr. Kitteh as she is a smart, Mature, animal; will Bite at the White hippo.
Bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 piercing and fire damage: 2d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6) + 3 + 1 = 13

◆ Beastmaster Mature companion free Strike

school item: 2x minor healing potions.

Also, Wraax would be fine with driving them off rather killing them. But as a ranger rather than druid. lacks the Speak With Animals fun times. lol

otherwise he is acting under the other laws of nature... if attacked fight or flee... in the water Mr. Kitteh is out-sped by the hippos. so fight it is.

Shouldn't Garad take no damage as that was a natural 20 on the die?

Wraax Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Mr. Kitteh reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Wraax, after getting stepped on, and seeing Mr. Kitteh avoid the worst of it, Swims to the far side of Hippo Brown. Athletics +10 here as well. Flanking with Barrek.

He then Commands Mr. Kitteh in for Stride at half-speed, to flank the Hippo, and a strike. Bite vs flanked: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26piercing, cat precision, and 1 fire damage: 2d6 + 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + (3) + 3 + 1 = 13

If still standing, Wraax then Strikes at the hippo as well. If it is not, he will Intimidating Glare the White hippo. it would reduce the following die roll from +11 to +7

+1 striking scythe vs flanked: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22slashing damage: 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

end turn

Sorry for delay all. Had a family emergency come up yesterday. Will get a post in today in about 4 hours

Wraax will shrug noncommittally at Barrek, "We Spend most of our time to ourselves... Only come to the Society on occasion."

Actually, yes. The cat does, indeed, burn holes in carpets everywhere they go... Wraax and Mr. Kitteh try to stick to stone or metal surfaces when they must be indoors, for this reason... Also they don't get played much. I made Wraax around the time frame book 2 of Age of Ashes came out, and you see he's lower level than you <.<... Mostly because I primarily GM and stick 90% of my Gm chronicles into no-mans land blobs.

After the briefing Wraax is cringing in all sorts of creative ways. In fact, if you've ever wondered what it looks like for someone to cringe twice, at the same time, it's definitely the face Wraax is giving right now. Mr. Kitteh growls, almost in annoyance, at the word Biloko.

"Why is it... Every time I come to help out the Society.. .It involves a ship of some kind? At least this one we don't have to worry about sinking by burning through the deck, eh Mr. Kitteh?" He'll manage a wry chuckle before continuing on. "Bilokos? Really? Those cannibalistic monsters? Again? I swear... We need to take up that one halfling's suggestion of getting ourselves an agent for what missions we get..."

One of Wraax's last scenarios also had Bilokos in it XD

@barrek. Hope you fire resistance. Otherwise touching the burning cat does 1d4 fire damage.

Mr. Kitten will growl low at being approached and touched unexpectedly. Her claws extending and hair standing on end. Wraax will gently soothe her while stating out loud. "Please. No touch. Mr Kitteh is not a pet and doesn't like those she doesn't know, touching her."

A goblin in a thick traveling cloak, a scythe carried across his back, has been carefully grooming a flaming cat twice his size. He will look over, "I am Wraax... This is Mr. Kitteh..." He will say in short clipped sentences, before resuming taking care of his companion while simultaneously ensuring she doesn't set anything on fire. Then, thinking better of it for a moment, he attempts a grin that looks more pained than happy and adds, "Nice. To. Meet. You." He then holds the 'smile' for half a second longer before dropping it and returning to his work.

gave my Glyphs to Arfsnarf and Erevan

Dotted in. 2 glyphs to give. Will get the sheets and macros filled in tonight.

Wraax will say a curt, but somewhat friendly, goodbye to everyone. Before he and Mr. Kitteh walk off into their next adventure

alrighty... So something with a super high will save at our level, a solid Reflex save (at least +11), AND an AoO... with additional adds?... Really gonna have to leave some strong words on this review when we done XD

Actually, when I reread the statblock, I noticed that it was not immune to mental effects, which is an error on my part. I automatically assumed that it being a construct, it was automatically immune. So, sorry for that.

The "talking" was from a continuous tongues spell. Its reflex DC was actually 21, so your trip attempt missed by 1.

Prefect's Statblock below:

AC 21; Fort +10, Ref +11, Will +6
HP 44; Resistances electricity 5;
Immunities bleed, death effects, diseased, doomed, drained, fatigued, healing, necromancy, nonlethal attacks, paralyzed, poison, sickened, unconscious
Attack of Opportunity [reaction]
Speed 25 feet
Melee [one-action] electrowhip +12 (disarm, finesse, magical, reach 10 feet, trip), Damage 1d10+6 electricity plus Knockdown if the target is wearing metal armor
Arcane Innate Spells DC 20; Constant (5th) tongues

Oof. so, since the Intimidation should have succeeded. that would have reduced all it's DCs by 1, and thus trip would have succeeded XD

Oh well, it ended well with a nice shot from Dran, and the game was still generally fun over-all. Even with my perceived annoyances.

And my big complaints to the scenario will be limited to the particular skill checks and the potential stun lock of the AoO whip.

Haka, thank you for reminding me of the knock-down effect of that whip + AoO. Because that is definitely not following usual "as intended" for 2e, and can leave new players with a really "feels bad" moment. Going to add that to my review for this.

@haka, yeah in 2e. AoO can, indeed, stun lock. Sort of. Your stand-up action triggers the AoO, letting them cause damage. Unlike 1e, unless one has a specific feat, you can't use Trip as part of an AoO. Usually this means the AoO only triplocks by critting and knocking you unconscious. The weapon this thing is using, though, is not one found anywhere in the normal 2e rules. So it's "knockdown versus metal armor" effect is breaking the usual mold of tight math.

Speaking of, as to the mental/fear effects. Constructs are only immune to such if they are mindless in 2e, this most definitely is not as it has been talking and making intelligent strategic actions. (Speaking of, this might be something the GM missed/assumed from 1e. If so, please take a second look. The pre-printed scenarios etc specifically call out the individual immunities now.) So, at our level, a +1 is about all it would get from any item or aura. Bringing it's Will to a +15 or greater. Which is still supposed to be max for a Level 5 enemy, one less than max for a level 6. Reserved for, usually, spell-caster sorts, who don't get AoO's, and having a Level 6 enemy, plus several smaller additional enemies, would break the encounter budget for this tier, even in a Quest...

Again, this is all breaking the tightly built-in math to this system. Which, as a Venture Lieutenant, bothers me greatly. It means I will specifically NOT be running this adventure for players in the future. As it gives off the wrong feel for 2e... Doubly so right now during this OGL nonsense... Anywho, back to game-play.

Seeing that this enemy is far beyond what it should be. Wraax will Step up to the Prefect, before whistling to Mr. Kitteh, sending her into a Flank and Biting at it. Before finally slamming his Scythe at it.

Oof... A +16, or higher, will-save modifier? Ouch. That's pretty dang high even for a level 6 enemy XD

Seeing an Ally fall, but unable to render aid at this time. Wraax continues to attempt to remove the largest threat, to help protect his allies. Giving an evil glare at the Prefect before moving up and swinging with his Scythe, trying to Trip the Prefect. Mr. Kitteh, being a Mature Companion, she will take the cue for a single action to attempt to Bite it as well.

Tanning Lore for income: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

sorry about before. my google slide had desynced and i hadn't seen the template added.

It would be helpful to describe where you are casting it, and what all we can see, that it hits... after-all, there may be hidden enemies etc.

Wraax glares at the things in front of him. "I would have offered peace, but you choose blood-shed. So be it."

◆ Wraax Commands Mr. Kitteh

End turn

crit deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 2

You say sight based. So Scent works normally? Just checking to see if the fog is simple water vapor, or something with an acrid or otherwise smell that would override? If the former, how does the water vapor interact with the constantly on fire cat? Asking, as both matters for Mr. Kitteh.

Wraax will move up to the open door, staring into the gloom, before Whistling to Mr. Kitteh who will follow up along side and Seek as well, acting as a 20ft dim light source for those who need it.

◆ Wraax Strides forwards

◆ Wraax Seeks

Perception, Expert, -2: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 2 = 7

Not used to staring into fogs like this with a fiery companion at all times, Wraax clearly notices nothing, but will rely on his companion's senses.

◆ Mr. Kitteh Seeks

Perception, scent, Expert: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 I left off the minus 2 in case Scent matters. if it doesn't. Reduce by 2.

Mr. Kitteh scours the gloom for anything of danger, prepared to growl in warning if she detects anything.

same

Since Tiger said we can make multiple rolls. I am going to take three more attempts then... Stop this at any point as needed.

Stubborn as they come, Wraax will continue to work at the task in front of him.

Crafting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Nodding his head as he seems to be getting the hang of it and making progress, the end goal in sight. he makes one final go at finishing this "fuse"

Crafting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

He starts grumbling about how these new-fangled devices just aren't like they used to be... Then stops realizing that the inverse is true in this case.

He gives one more push forwards to try and resole this conundrum.

Crafting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

With a final, unapologetic, cry of defiance. He slams the fixed fuse back into place in the actuator.

@gm Tiger

Should we roll a second action attempt? Or do things occur between attempts?

West Actuator looks very much like it was poorly designed. Being two, specific, Trained Only Lores <.< So could easily ahve no one in the party be trained in either... Something to note on the review of this

Wraax will see the others working on South and West Actuators, so he will turn East and attempt to repair that actuator.

Crafting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

After thoroughly studying the fuse, he gets to work on putting the pieces back together, making partial headway.

Wraax acknowledges Haka Geralf and Charlies with a slight nod, and a bigger nod to Estes, but otherwise remains silent.

Religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Wraax will listen attentively, but gives the structure only a passing glance at this distance. Too busy sighing to himself. "When will they learn... Mr. Kitteh and boats do not get along... We'll just have to make sure to not make a hole in this one, won't we?"

Another Goblin, clad in leather and wearing a thick traveling cloak, has spent most of the journey so far to himself, his scythe never far from his grip. He has been busying himself with tending to his companion, a leopard larger than himself, that seems to be perpetually on fire. The two seem to keep to specific surfaces, and always a bucket of water handy, to prevent the animal's flames from spreading and causing harm to the ship.

As Dran'Tilt introduces himself, he will look up from his never-ending task. "Dran... An acquaintence of mine... A kitsune by the name of Yako-Zenko, told me about you... He said you are the reliable sort, I look to confirm this."

Good to see you again so shortly after our last joint society mission in the form of a play.

He will then turn to the venture-captain and give a curt nod. "Hello... My friend here is Mr. Kitteh... They are not a fan of this mode of travel... Much too confining... But we won't burn down your ship, or my name isn't Wraax."

He will give Pre Fix a side-eye glance anytime smoke escapes from his body, suggesting he doesn't trust any other Goblin around fire. Nothing personal... First made this character way back when 2e first dropped, and people were worried about pyromaniac goblins everywhere... Just not had much chance to play them much so still low level.

So far we appear to be at 4 glyphs, 5 players.

If there are no more glyphs around, I nominate myself for not getting a second hero point.

Sorry again for the delay. Everything is updated and good to go.

two glyphs here to hand out. (I tend to hand out to lowest level characters first.)

Wraax and Mr. Kitteh understand that friendly fire occurs... They prefer it to be fire based if possible though since they resist/immune that. (And Mr. Kitteh would prefer, if possible, NOT to be hit with cold, as she takes 5 extra damage from it.)

I just gone done with a ridiculous trip back home. I will update all these tonight. Sorry for delaying things.

(I actually don't even know how to roleplay this result. I already used the "oh he just got overconfident, that's why he failed" thing for crying out loud.)

Clearly, He found that one, single, plank that rotted away underneath, and broke apart as he stepped on it.

Wraax will dive back into the water and resume swimming.

athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Wraax will silently begin to move the cargo off the ship, saving the banter for later.

athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Wraax looks around for anything of value.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

But forgot to pray to RNGesus today...

Wraax will ask Mr. Kitteh to wait for him promising he'll return for her. Then dives into the water and swims for it.

athletics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Wraax will yank the bolt out, and then drink one of his healing potions

potion: 1d8 ⇒ 4

He will then assume his place in the lines with the others.

Wraax will look as phosporoo, "We really, should, allow captured enemies to surrender. Otherwise we are no better than our chitterwood brethren...". He will then signal Mr. Kitteh to let go of her meal, and feeds her some food from his bag. Thus allowing the search if the body in peace.
