Zenobia of Whistledown's page

Pathfinder Lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"So Victus, how do you feel about that? We work together pretty well! Teamwork makes the dream work!"

The kami - Kodama, nice to meet you - is free. The thief has been... dealt with. We found our fellow Pathfinders, and the hired help should be free to go home now. Yeah, I think that takes care of all of it?"

She hefts the katana and tries out the balance. "I've heard of these eastern swords, never actually seen one for real."

NO YOU DON'T!

As the kitsune strikes Katerina Zenobia makes a Retributive Strike (Paladin reaction).

Strike vs. FF (at the spot where he hit Katerina): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20
bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
This also gives Katerina 3 resistance against that attack, looks like that might have just kept her up.

Now that he's come in close to face her, Zenobia tries to strike him again.
Strike: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15
bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Then she positions herself a bit and raises her shield.

Zenobia strides-strides to flank the kitsune with Victus (see blue line).

to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Zenobia quickly draws her flickmace and whacks at the foxes nipping at her heels.

"Damn you for inciting these woodland animals!"

Striking against red (with flank) if he's still there, otherwise blue.
to hit: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Then she raises her shield.

Ranged reprisal if any critters hurt the party.

Regarding Ti Lan and Li Po, Zenobia speaks;

"Certainly. We were sent here to make sure you all got back. That includes the hired help."

"On the way we ran into several invisible spirits that rode along a bit in our bodies, and it seems they showed us the way to you. From what I understand these kami are basically decent spirits. So if one of them needs rescue we should get on that."

Victus may have the most damage, but you have the fewest hit points left. But the nice thing about Lay On Hands is that it's a focus spell - 10 minutes of praying and I can use it again. Since it doesn't seem like we really have to absolutely run, we can take 30 minutes and get on our way fully restored.

"Erastil's grace will restore us. But healing all of us will take me a bit longer."

Zenobia can Lay on Hands for 6, then needs a 10m Refocus to be able to do it again. So 30 minutes to be able to set out again fresh. Sound okay?

"Zhao, you look most injured, let me take care of you first."

Zenobia joins the group. The bandit is probably already pulp, otherwise here is a Strike;

to hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

And raise shield.

"Everyone allright?"

Zenobia double strides to come up beside Victus, and also strikes at the red bandit.

Flickmace: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Zenobia takes out her flickmace and whacks blue-round.

flickmace: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Then seeing Victus facing off against two bandits on his own, she rushes over in that direction.

Victus, come over here, join ranks and we'll teach them a lesson!

If you and anyone hitting you are within 15ft of me then I can use Ranged Reprisal to punish them if they attack you.

Did Gurnk drop out?

I'm waiting for a moment to allow Gurnk to use the flank, then I'll act.

"Oh I'm so relieved we found you, Amara told us you may have gotten lost in this strange wood! I don't think the spirits are malicious, but it's still dangerous. There seems to be some strange foxy business afoot. Have you seen anything strange that could be due to troubles with the spirits?"

Taking a moment to digest that actually they had entirely different problems she switches tracks.

"Bandits? We need to look into that! There's a lovely village near here, but I don't think those people could really defend themselves. They're in danger!"

"Well I suppose it's good for team spirit if we all do our part..." Zenobia tries to convince herself that letting the goblin be a host is a good idea...

<before we left the village>

Zenobia goes round the village and her fellow Pathfinders to check for wounded, laying on hands on anyone who needs it.

"Here Gurnk, we take care of each other."

<on the road>
religion: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

"Careful.. that shape is a spirit looking for a body to inhabit, I don't know if it's for good or ill. What should we do? If it's a wicked spirit then letting it in would be bad, but if it's one of the righteous kami then it would give us someone to talk to about what's going on."

Zenobia steps in closer and draws her flickmace and tries to give the red fox a good whack.

flickmace: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

After that she eyes all the foxes intently, ready to mete out retribution (paladin reaction: an ally within 15ft is struck) if the foxes attack her companions.

"Why are the foxes attacking us? This isn't what foxes normally do!"

Zenobia indeed spends some time explaining what the Pathfinder Society is - it might sound like a rather rose-tinted view, but she's earnest about it. And hopefully it'll help the locals open up about any other things they know.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Maybe she's just a bit too naive though.

The big gnome puts a motherly hand on Gurnk's shoulder, as if to signal that it's all going to be ok. "Pleased to make your acquaintance mister. I'm Zenobia, and yes we're Pathfinders looking for some of our friends who seem to have gotten themselves lost."

Boons: don't have any relevant ones.
Schools: I'll take an owlbear claw (attached to flickmace) and a healing potion.

"Let's not assume they're dead yet, if they're still alive then we should try to get there fast and we might yet help them! Pathfinders always stick up for each other!"

The voice comes from a big, big gnome. You know, blue-purple hair in a mohawk, one of those telltale crazy gnome flail weapons, but about six foot tall and highly muscular. She's got the basics of heavy armor on, and you can see a holy symbol of Erastil around her neck.

Building alias now..
