If you want, I could help you build your character in the OOC thread.
For your character in particular, I would probably recommend doing Unarmed Swordsage 3, Monk 2, and then spec into Shadow Sun Ninja once you level up. You'd benefit from the Sun School feat as well, especially if combined with the Shadow Hand and Desert Wind's Teleporting Maneuvers. Shadow Sun Ninja may be very fitting for your character.
There's also the Sun Soul Monk PrC, if you'd prefer not to go Swordsage, but Shadow Sun Ninja is so good.
Dipping Fighter 2 (Pugilist) could help you with your BAB and help you qualify for feats earlier, especially if you trade armor for Hit-And-Run for Dex damage vs flat-footed targets.
Alternatively, consider multiclassing Monk and Cleric, and going for Sacred Fist.
Don't forget that you can pick up Combat Martial Art's through your starting occupation. D20 Modern has some good unarmed combat stuff.

Is there a shapeshifter type of class? Like, I'd think it be cool if Virgin is more a normal martial artist while sober but then when she's drunk she's a drunken master or something.

Several.
There's also the Wild Monk ACF, which gives Wildshape to the monk:
https://srd.dndtools.org/srd/classes/baseCore/monk.html#wild-monk
It's basically Druid, only without the spells, plus martial arts.
You can use it to enter Master Of Many Forms:
https://dndtools.net/classes/master-of-many-forms/
Warshaper is good too. You can enter it if you have preexisting shapeshifting abilities.
https://srd.dndtools.org/srd/classes/prestigeCwar/warshaper.html
>drunken master
Drunken Master is its own prestige class:
https://dnd.arkalseif.info/classes/drunken-master/index.html
Not that powerful, but neither is the base Monk.
Shadow Sun Ninja is a personal favorite of mine. It may fit your theme, as the class involves maintaining the boundary between ones's inner instincts and one's virtues.

I don't know what my skill modifier is yet though but that should be my roll unless I screwed it up somehow, which seems unlikely but I won't pretend that I do this and know what I'm doing.

My bad. I should have expressed myself better. With shapeshifter, I was thinking about league were some people sometimes refer to champions like Jayce as Shapshifters but it's more about changing playstyle.
So instead is the a class that transitions into another or have different modes and are there any that's specifically about changing their martial art style?

I decided to give her str:12, dex:15, con:14, int:9, wis:13, and cha:9. Haven't decided where to put the +1 for level for yet.
Virgin's eyes sting as she opened them. She spins around and her gaze bounce around. She searches: [1d20-1 = (8-1) = 7] search.

I need to clarify that we're actually doing level 6 now. Before, it was level 5. Remember that at level 4 you gain +1 ability point to put somewhere.
Virgin, having now asserted her authority over the amoebas, checks the area near where she jumped in, which I presume is in the middle of the river from the bridge near the basilica. Virgin sees little twigs floating in the water, a riverbed that has some water plants and algae, a few fish swimming in the river, and a bucket (just a random bucket). She does not, however, sea the prize.
Roll swim to move around or go back to the surface.

She swims up to the surface in a slithering movement. She breaks the surface, sending droplets of, the-not-so-fresh-water, all around her so it splatters and create tiny ripples around her.
She gasps for air.

Well, Virgin has air, and she can keep up with the water flowing in the river, though it isn't super easy.
Now, where is that head?

This area is the Delemare River. Above her is an automobile and pedestrian bridge with two concrete pillars holding it up. It has steel trusses keeping it up, painted red. To each side is a river bank covered in plants, and then a ten foot concrete wall acting presumably as a flood barrier.
But below the water, roll search again. Wisdom modifier

She swims closer to one of the bridge's pillars, thinking that somepony might have dropped the head off the bridge so it might be nearby. She takes deep breath, sounding like a dog whining while she does so. Then she disappears under the surface again.

She nods to herself and memories the location of this fishing pole before swiming under the bridge and along it towards the other pillar. Meanwhile, she does this, she "vacuum cleans" the bottom like a flat fish in her search. Only going up for air when necessary. [1d20+1 = (3+1) = 4] =search=

She does not memorize the location of the rock. She proceed to the other pillar and dives down there. She peers into the abyss... [1d20+1 = (17+1) = 18] search

By the pillar, actually kind of against it, she sees a saddle bag. A little further away is a pair of glasses.
And beyond that... Is white marble, what appears to be the head of a unicorn mare.

Virgin's eyes go wide and she does a few escalating nods. She swims up to the unicorn head first. She inspects it. She peers at it from different sides to take it all in.
Then she swims in close with her body and takes a solid grip and just test pulls it upwards.
Is that a strength check. I'll roll for it and if it's wrong then just disregard it. [1d20+1 = (6+1) = 7] strength Like I'm playing pokemon.

Virgin pulls but the head slips through her hooves as her hold on it fail.
I can try three times right? If I'm not misremembering there was something like that in the book, obviously, if you allow me to try again. If you do, here's my roll: [1d20+1 = (10+1) = 11]

Thank you, sorry for posing the question, as I've now been able to puzzle through that section of the previous activity.

Cavaliere and Posey are the first two to encounter them
The rear room of the forward cabin is small, with a bed and table folded up to each side, life buoys on the wall, and a couple buckets on the floor, besides an open door to the cockpit and a set of stairs on the right going down below deck. Here too, the floor is wooden, somewhat wet,
Near the center of the room stands a griffin with a dark red coat and darker red-brown feathers, as if the color of congealed blood and standing blood respectively. His yellow beak hooks down decisively, his blue eyes are pale as to seem almost milky, and his pointed pupils seem unnaturally reflective. He wears a deep scowl, and more than that, on top of his head is a a tiara, made of yellow-white metal with three peaks with some sort of sea monster depicted in the center, and beneath that, three cut jewels, presumably rubies by their dull, red hue. It does not fit his head, being two narrow, and instead is forcefully placed upon it, and standing too high in an almost comical scene. He wears a leather vest. In his right claw is a spear that barely fits under the roof, with a very long, barbed headed point.
Standing to his right is another griffin with a dulled yellow coat and younger appearance. He too, wears a vest. There is visible dried blood coming down from under his vest. His green eyes and closed beak convey a clear expression of fear. He has pulled out a very long knife, held close to his chest. The pale next to him has surely just been placed down.
The red griffin speaks:
“Hvem er du? Pirater her for å ta kronen min?”
From behind, and from below the deck, another two griffins - one white, and one black - seem ready to join in.

Hmmm, sounds like it would fit better on Posey's head.
Posey's first order of business is to charm the griffons with her gaze, starting with the one wearing the crown, which she presumes to be the leader.
>“Hvem er du? Pirater her for å ta kronen min?”
I just remembered from my sheet that Posey speaks griffon as one of her int bonus languages. What is he saying?
Nevertheless, she responds, gesturing towards the crowned griffon with the end of her polearm, boldly puffing out her chest
"You, you're Sørvik." she states

I’m not certain Brie would be aware of this. He’s flying above and away from the action. This happens in a small, closed room in the fishing boat. There have been no loud sounds this far that would indicate a problem.

The party was openly talking about blowing the ship up, before heading toward the cabin. This alone would have warranted him closing, if for no other reason than to dissuade them from doing so.

There are a lot of languages in the setting and although Abyssal and Infernal might be useful for Posey, you are bound to find characters who speak a different language compared to your own, like here. Think of how the real world was before English became the universal language.
Wait, I have a question. Isn't it a Feathesian ship that is crashed somewhere on the island? Cavaliere's knowledge of Feathesian may prove useful.

No, I have been in communication with GM, and Brie was 80' above the party as they boarded the freighter, before closing in on them to dissuade blowing up the thing (yet), which with a reasonable passage of time would have him getting to the cabin just after Posey and Cavaliere entered, enabling him to try and sneak in undetected.

If negotiations break down, there's the old "double-fist two primed hoof grenades" intimidation tactic

Does anybody know a language that these griffons would speak?
>>180561
Whether the griffons are mind-controlled or not, we would prefer a non-lethal takedown. It wouldn't be hard to kill them without damage to ourselves, but the good-aligned PCs in the party wouldn't approve of that. Not to mention, a gunshot could be heard by hostiles on the island, and a grenade is much louder than a gunshot.
>>180564
I don't even know what language they're speaking or the EaW country they're from.

Presumably, Silver, Kira, and Dust are standing on the deck.

It isn’t blatantly obvious how to slip around into the cabin, with only one clearly visible entrance, which is the one Posey and Cavaliere are standing in.
>>180540
It probably would fit Posey better, but it isn’t quite pony shaped either.
Posey recognizes “Pirate” and “you,” but it’s clearly a different language from what she knows.
Sørvik visibly winces, looks down and closes his eyes
[more to come]

Okay, back

>>180538
Cavaliere, like Posey, recognizes a couple words "Pirate" and "You," but does not know the language.
Both the red griffin and the yellow griffin recoil in some degree of shock when they hear the names "Sørvik" and "Nils."
The Yellow griffin manages a smile to Posey.
The red one, however, looks back up to Posey, and brandishes his harpoon.
"Hvorfor retter du den tingen mot meg? Hva gjør du på skipet mitt? Og hvordan vet du hva jeg heter?"
>>180568
Zeeb is on deck just behind everyone. He would likely figure out that something is going on
>>180567
He wants to enter just behind Posey and Cavalliere, through the door the griffins are staring at?

What kind of check would it be for Posey to get across a rudimentary message using only pieces of the griffon languages she knows? Bluff?
>The red one, however, looks back up to Posey, and brandishes his harpoon.
Looks like he passed his saving throw.

Yes, that's correct. He will be attempting to "cut the pie" at the widest angle and position for possible flanking or maneuvering, paying particular attention for any available cover or obstacles to exploit/avoid.

Nevermind, Feathesian is more Dutch.
Cavaliere places himself in front of Posey, shielding her from a potential attack.
He replies, slowly and carefully, "You have been missing for a long time. We are here to help. Your ship is not seaworthy, and you look hurt."
The fellow griffon also tries out the languages he knows. "Spreekt u Feathesiaans? Parlez-vous Aquiléen? Forse sai parlare Wingbardiano?"

It's not an especially big room, maybe 15 feet wide. There are objects in the room, like a table by the wall, but besides the door on the opposing side going to the cockpit, or the stairs going down - both of which have griffins in or near them - there's really not much.

Okay, taking the leftside rook position, casual posture (in spite of the batpone suit) preparing to attempt Neighponese and South Zebrican (and who knows, changeling), but otherwise waiting on the results of the dialogue others are engaged in.
(contemplating using the table as a barrier against harpoons)

Okay, Posey has the biggest Bluff mod. What should she try to say?
These birds are all clearly wounded, and have no transportation. We could offer them healing and a ride, if they cooperate.
Our priority is the Marines, so I'll start with that.
>>180571
Posey, being a veteran of the Arcturian front, knows multiple words for warrior/knight/soldier in whatever griffon language they speak there. Maybe one of those words sounds similar."
"Pony soldiers. Have you seen them? Where." she says, in North griffonian
Bluff to get the message across.
[1d20+14 = (6+14) = 20]
She glares at the one brandishing a weapon, and makes a universal "stand down for your own good" gesture
I'll treat this as Intimidate
[1d20+15 = (10+15) = 25]

I'm not sure bluff works as a means of getting across a language barrier. Good intimidate roll though hopefully it doesn't backfire.
