Zorahas's page

I think in the Flaxseed thread Hmm said to allow at least a week after the GM's last post before notifying the online VO's.

I'm not in a huge hurry personally since this character isn't slated for any other games, but I agree it might be best to just wrap this one up at this point.

^^ That was my question too. It seemed like it, but Tercio's last statement made it seem like we have to go do something else now.

Zorahas relents. "Very well, we will leave Tercio in charge. I don't like him, though." He has a bitter taste on his forked tongue as it flicks the air.

"You would fight us to protect Tercio's interests? If Tercio is defeated, he shall be powerless to harm you. He has proven himself to be an unfit, corrupt ruler. Thalia is at least passionate, she can certainly do no worse."

I would rather leave Thalia in charge than Tercio.

"Yes that sounds like the way to go. I don't care for the politics here and will happy to be done with the lot of them."

Zorahas nods emphatically.

Well said!

After he observes the woman drinking the tea safely, Zorahas accepts the offer of a cup.

"Please ignore my friend's braggadocio. Tell me, my lady, why did you hire the Galtans? What did you hope to gain from the girl's disappearance?"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Zorahas wonders if this woman is having as much trouble following Jacques' logic as himself. heh

sense motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

"Thank you for your generosity, young man. Hospitality has been in short supply in this part of the world, I'm afraid." Zorahas keeps his eyes open as he enters, not trusting the man fully yet.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"They seem like gibberish to me. Let's press forward and we can find someone back at the Lodge who can translate, if nothing else."

"Good eyes! There might be something useful in here!" Zorahas takes a look inside.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Seeing that Criscius is still bleeding, Zorahas gives him a tap as well.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Wonderful! Let's go immediately." Before leaving, Zorahas taps himself with his healing wand.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Anyone else need it?

"I suppose we need to find the Taldan man who hired them."

Are we too late to ask where & when they were supposed to meet up with him?

I don't have stabilize but I can use my wand on him right?

Zorahas, upon hearing the girl's mention of the grievously wounded Louis, squats down to see if he can still revive the man. "Shall we tie him up first?"

Once that has been determined, the nagaji examines the man's injuries then draws out his wand and taps him gently.

heal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Is Louis dead-dead? We could tie him up and heal him.

"Good thinking!" Zorahas uses his divine powers to examine the paper before reading it.

Detect magic.

I'll chip in of course since it was my idea. To keep it moving, I will pay now and we can figure it out later or whatever.

Zorahas nods and turns around for privacy while removing the gold pieces from his sack. "Very well. Here is 50 gold. Now release your captive to us."

sense motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Zorahas doesn't catch Jacques' signal so he continues to negotiate. "It sounds lovely, I'm sure." When the woman is presented, the nagaji says, "It is good to see that you are men of honor. We can pay 40 gold but we need to know who your employer is and what their plans were for the girl."

"If you are only in it for the gold, we can help you with that. How much are they paying you? How about 20 gold to say she gave you the slip?"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

"Those charges are surprising. We suspect the girl is a revolutionary herself, by Andoran noble standards anyway. We found evidence she is acting against her family's interests."

"What is she charged with?"

"We are here for the missing girl. That is all."

Zorahas follows Criscius into the house, looking for an opening to blast the enemies.

Double move

"We are not adherents of the Common Rule! We are not affiliated with the Andoran government. We have come to find the missing girl and we don't care for your politics beyond that. If you can help us find her, we will deal with you peacefully."

diplomacy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

He maintains a threatening pose but is willing to back off if the enemies do.

Hold action for now. If they want to keep fighting:

firebolt, ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
fire damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Yeah I'm not assuming we will finish in time. There are games starting in October though so I figure we will be done by then. :D

Good question! I suppose I do.

Announcing Gameday 6!

This is the sign up.

It's a Pbp convention that starts on 8/25 and runs through November. Everyone playing Pbp PFS games during that window are eligible to participate. There really is nothing different from regular Pbp games except that everyone can receive convention boons- both player boons and GM race boons.

So if we continue on with our group and the next scenario starts after 8/25, we can just register it as a Gameday game and get free boons.

I think our other player had a commitment for their character for a Gameday table. As you can see from the signup sheet there are tons of tables so everyone is trying to get scheduled in advance. Including me now!

I was mostly just wondering if Zorahas will be available to play something else because I'm trying to get all my characters organized for the games I have signed up for. I would prefer to stay with this group which is why I asked. :D

Did we talk about continuing this group forward into Gameday? I can't remember.

The map seems weird? Maybe it's not loading right for me.

Zorahas figures anyone else here must be up to no good, and slings a firebolt towards the figure!

ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 minus whatever for cover
fire damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Zorahas observes the abandoned villa thoroughly.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Detect Magic also.

Zorahas nods at Criscius' suggestion, casting detect magic to see if there is anything else of note in here.

When he shows the others the journal after separating from Dorabeth he says, "Aha! So there is more to this story after all. It seems our young victim was treading on some dangerous ground with her father and other powerful people around here."

"As it turns out, I do need to use the men's facilities anyway." He follows Dorabeth into the private boudoir and gets an eyeful of all the scandalous things inside. He calls on the forces of nature to keen his and Criscius' eyes as he examines the room.

perception+guidance: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 = 22

Casting guidance on Criscius as well if he wants it.

sense motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
sense motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Zorahas, listening quietly, is able to observe much from Andares' manner.

When the group is alone, he shares what he saw with the others. "I think we should ask around the town a bit and learn who his enemies are then come try to chat with him again."

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Zorahas listens to the captain's chatter. "No need to introduce myself since you just did Jacques."

Zorahas is no stuffy paladin but he bristles at the thought that financial aid is more important than the girl's welfare. "Very well. We shall obey orders. Let's be on our way," he says to the others.

I only have 9 GM tables under my belt so I'm no PFS expert, but since the GM is new I'll throw in my 2 cents and say it's probably ok since people are still just checking in at the briefing.

However, I think you technically aren't supposed to play the same character in more than one game at once (including a pregen) FYI. You're fine now but I wouldn't recommend doing it in the future.

Re: rebuilds-

I do it with every one of my characters before leveling them up to 2. I have completely switched classes, races, everything. It's a good opportunity to try different things and see how you like them before locking it in.

Zorahas spends some of his downtime doing some shopping in Absalom.

Bought antiplague, antitoxin, thunderstone, cold iron scimitar, alchemical silver dagger and a wand of burning hands (CL 3rd, 4 charges) from my Confirmation chronicle for a total of 362 gp.

The nagaji tolerates sailing to Almas and is quite pleased to finally visit Andoran. He had worked with the Andoren embassy to catch a fugitive in his very first assignment for the Society but that was on the isle of Kortos.

In 0-02 Hydra's Fang Incident. In fact I am officially "an upstanding free citizen of the Republic."

At the briefing, Zorahas asks, "Is corruption such a big problem that we need to police it while completing this mission? Since Andares is the mayor, do you suspect him?"

I'm here! This should be a fun one.

@GM: would you mind opening the Gameplay thread for dotting?

Sounds good to me!

I'd love to play 5-04!

Mine looks good. You did a great job GM! Thanks for the running this and thanks to everyone for a fun scenario.

Zorahas is happy to be leaving this crazy land once and for all!

Zorahas replies, "With pleasure!" And then blasts the priestess with a firebolt.

ranged touch+inspire: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 1 = 12
fire damage+inspire: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Most likely, yes.

Zorahas nods solemnly. "We have acted in good faith and been persecuted at every turn. Please take this opportunity to represent your faith better than the others we have encountered."

diplomacy Aid Another: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

I think you forgot a roll there, Carrick! :D

Zorahas tries to pull himself over using the rope.

If its DC 5 I can take 10 for an 8 to climb over.

"I can certainly try!" Zorahas focuses on the unbroken horse, tapping into their common bond with nature. He coos gently and gestures with his claws.

wild empathy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

No day job here either.
