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.

>shapeshifter type of class?
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.

Virgin summons her inner fish and doesn't need oxygen. She tries to butterfly swim her way forward: [1d20+4+1] swim

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.
With the open discussion of blowing up the freighter - something Brie has many thoughts about, most of them critical - he would swoop in to comment at earliest convenience, abandoning his ready-action of death from above.

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.

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.

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

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?"

Zeeb is on deck just behind everyone. He would likely figure out that something is going on

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?

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.

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

The way you say that, I would like to emphasize that Brie is emphasizing that he is not holding any weapons, but yes he would adopt that posture while Rosey and Cavaliere attempt to talk the Griffons down

The red one looks at Posey's Halberd, then over to Brie, being unambiguously startled by Brie. The yellow one simply glances over at Brie, despite being the closest
The red one turns from Brie to Posey, unable to look at both given his position. He raises his right arm, and gives a "come here" signal.
From the cockpit, a white griffin comes in, carrying a tool that is functionally a shorter glaive, if definitely not intended for that role. From the lower deck, another griffin, black in color, has a rifle. Both of these griffins focus their weapons on Brie.
Yellow griffin moves up and levels his short sword. The red one levels his harpoon at Posey, and then looks to Cavaliere:
In Fetheasian:
"Ja, ik spreek Fethesiaans, en ik zal je laten weten dat ik eerder tegen piraten heb gevochten zoals jij. Denk je dat je mijn kroon kunt pakken? Kom en neem het! Je zult niet de eerste zijn die het vandaag heeft geprobeerd. Jullie Hauklanders kunnen ook mijn slaven zijn."

Silver, hearing noises from below deck, heads down to see what's going on. Kira, not wanting to disturb any of the creatures with her unusual body type and not wanting to crowd the below deck portion, stays on the deck to keep a lookout for any approaching creatures.

The black griffon looks to either side. "They think we are Haukland pirates. Please stand back and don't spook them."
If Posey does not accidentally become an undead pincushion, he replies to the crew,
"Wij zijn geen piraten en ook geen Hauklanders. Wij zijn hier om wat pony's te redden die op dit eiland zijn neergestort. Tijdens onze zoektocht vonden we jullie kamp en blijkbaar hebben jullie net zo goed redding nodig. Jullie mogen jullie bezittingen houden, maar jullie hebben medische behandeling nodig en moeten dit eiland verlaten omdat het niet veilig is."

"Ooooh," Vir lets out as a cartoonish bass-drop shiver travels from hooves to muzzle over her fur.
She's roughly cleans the head off a bit with her hoof as I assume it might be a bit muddy or something. As she does the head disappears and is replaced with a cherry red filly with a flowing carrot-orange mane being almost in-caged by black bars but they are hooves... Exoskeleton hooves with holes in them like Swiss cheese and the gleam of a fly separates her from the world of the living.
Vir falls on her rump and feel her neck strain as she physically pulls away from the vision and curves her spine into a reverse 'c'. She chews empty air but her but her mouth never closes and her teeth never meet. As saucer-sized eyes stare at the clouds above and refuse to blink to escape the visions assaulting her.
After a long moment, finally she breaths. Sound returns to the world and so does the cold wet that clings to her. Reality supersedes fantasy -- she's not there anymore.
She inspects the head again but with a fearful scowl etched on her face. Banishing ghosts by the force of grimace. She inspects the head: [1d20-1 = (1-1) = 0] Appraise

"It is, and unfortunately it is the one appearance we shouldn't have in these circumstances," he whispers back to Posey.
Speaking towards the griffons, "De pony's zijn eerder vandaag gecrasht, op een heuvel buiten het zicht van dit strand. Ze kwamen per vliegtuig. Wat betreft het afdichten, dat zal je hoe dan ook niet lukken. Dit schip is niet te repareren en zinkt nog steeds. Binnen een uur zal het volledig overstroomd zijn en zul je het moeten verlaten, waardoor je permanent gestrand bent."
He continues, gesturing toward the island. "Als de kou en honger je niet vinden, dan zullen de Stalliongraders dat wel doen. Dit is een betwist eiland, en er is al een Stalliongrad schip aan de andere kant geland. Ik weet niet welke verdragen jouw regering met hen heeft, maar ik kan je verzekeren dat ze jouw eigendom niet zullen respecteren."

Silver tries his hooves at pantomiming to the griffons, hearing that they're speaking in griffon languages he doesn't understand:
Silver points at himself, before giving a military salute and marching in place. He sits down, lifts up a forehoof and moves it slowly in the air while making the sound of an aircraft engine with his mouth. With his other forehoof, he points/punches it rapidly towards the first forehoof while making a dakadakadaka sound like machine gun fire. His other forehoof now bends into a hill or island shape, and the one in the air he brings down to the "island", whistling as if it's dropping out of the air. When it makes contact with the "island", Silver spreads his forelegs out with a bwoosh explosion sound from his mouth.
Following this, he looks to see if any of the griffons could have understood any of that.

Cautiously he tries to reason with griffons whose sense of reason has been undermined–a dangerous prospect.

"Hoeveel pompen heb je draaiende die het overstroomde ruim sneller kunnen leegpompen dan de waterinlaat? Heb je brandstof voor ze? Je gewonde bemanning kan zeker geen handpompen aan die groot genoeg zijn. Er zijn nu tachtig Stalliongraders op het eiland, en er komen er waarschijnlijk nog meer, en ze zullen het eiland schoonvegen voordat je ooit zou kunnen hopen op weg te gaan. Je realiseert je toch wel dat ze pleiten voor hertoe-eigening van eigendommen, toch? Het is zinloos om tegen ze te vechten en ze zullen je kostbare kroon afpakken."
And, adding on, "Is er hier een pony genaamd Day Finder? Er zullen geen consequenties zijn als je eerlijk bent."

She walked over to her cloak and bites hold of it and carries it back over. She looks around for any other pony, [1d20-1 = (7-1) = 6] search

Silver is the first to react, stepping forward with greatsword drawn. He provokes an attack of opportunity from the red griffon, armed with the harpoon as he gets within disarming range.

Vir taps the ground in with annoyance. She swings her head and throws the cloak onto her form. She gets dressed in it. She look at the head and smacks her lips.
This is too valuable to just leave while getting that saddlebag. I'll have to come back for it later, she thinks to herself.
She rolls the head up on an steeper part of the riverbed and moves in "under" it to place it on her back. She tries to balance it on the area between her shoulder blades? and neck.
Since water doesn't lift it anymore, maybe it's heavier so I do a strength and balance check. You can disregard them if they are unnecessary. [1d20+1 = (15+1) = 16] stength [1d20+6 = (7+6) = 13] balance

If the flak jacket he was wearing did not hamper his movements so much, Silver could have dodged out of the way of the thrust. As is, he can't move out of the way fast enough before the harpoon finds purchase and punches through Silver's flak jacket, causing Silver to yelp out in pain.

With that, Silver valiant attempt at ending the fight early is finished, as crimson fluid already begins to stain his flak jacket. The yellow griffon is up next.

Yellow moves forward, and tries to stab Posey

Her eyes glow brighter, as her masochism triggers

Posey is flat-footed, so that confirmation roll would hit her, the weapon skewering right through where her heart would be. Too bad she's not using it right now.

On Brie's turn, he will make a move action, say a few words to Cavaliere, and then hold his action for Cavaliere's turn, changing his initiative score to match for future rounds. In this way both characters can move prior to each other's action, or vice versa, for maximum flanking shenanigens.

Yeah, Posey's next, then Red, Zeeb, White, Brie, and finally Cavaleire. Presumably Kira will join in next round.

She starts her journey ho... back to the church.
Her tongue rubs against the inside of her lips. She can almost taste her favorite poison. She shakes her head and gets back on task.
She whistles the psalm 236, a somber melody that ends on a happy note but she never whistles that part. You are given free reign to decide the lore for this song, if you feel like that is.

Okay, I had this elaborate attack with which I intended to splatter him all over the wall, but are we going to move forward with the Disarm check?

We can do this, but I won't be able to play after this combat round. I will allow you to use Cavaliere's actions for the remainder of this combat, as long as they are prioritized to be nonlethal for the sake of capturing the griffons alive. They are under mind control but might continue fighting after it is removed.

Alright, let's go the pacifist route and not kill him just yet.
Posey moves towards red, flanking him with Silver, and attempts her own disarm check. Since he's already made an attack of opportunity, he doesn't get a second unless he had Combat Reflexes. Moreveover, since a harpoon is a reach weapon, he can't attack Posey while adjacent anyway.
She makes a Disarm check
[1d20+12 = (15+12) = 27]
As she attacks, the bones on her armor rattle and she makes a free action demoralize, against Red, her eyes glowing, her mane standing on end, her horn crackling with power, and her head illuminating with a corona of dying stars as she lets out a dreadful cackle-whinny
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG!"
Intimidate
[1d20+18 = (7+18) = 25]
And this triggers her Dreadful Wrath, all enemies must make a DC 22 Will save or be Shaken

>Vir knows she needs alcohol to, you know, kill any amoebas that may have survived in her stomach.
^^
Where are we know? What's the scene like? You don't need to anything fancy btw, I just enjoy having a place to work with.
"I know right," Vir says, and looks away with a slight rose tint to her cheeks. "I just fumbled around a bit in the waters. Have no idea why I thought it be there. But... Maybe, she was with me."

If Posey succeeds on her check, she would like to use her unseen servant to place the tiara on her head.

Vir, I believe, has moved back to the basilica, which is lined in marble and has a neoclassical style. There is a greatly better description somewhere...
gasp
"It's true. It really was in the water. How did you find it? It's incredible..." She smiles "Maybe Celestia is with you." She adds, "I wonder where the rest of it is."

Ripping the harpoon out of Silver's shoulder to attempt this block, it should be noted, causes Silver a lot of pain.

Wait, I miscalculated the -2 penalty from Posey's barding
This is a tie: it all comes down to if her intimidate check and/or frightful presence succeed in debuffing him (you would roll that before the opposed roll).

Alright, since I must leave right now, I'll just pre-announce my attack.
Cavaliere moves at the black griffon (with the gun) and balls up a talon into a fist. With surprising power he punches him right in the head. Did the yellow griffon already get an attack of opportunity in? I'll leave it to you to sort out.
Stunning fist: [1d20+4 = (7+4) = 11]

With my turn over, I would like to use my Unseen Servant to scatter a bag of marbles in his square.

Something is wrong with him, which seems to make him resistant. But either way, he rolls higher here. He only just barely manages to avoid Posey knocking off the crown, which does move on his head.
Now, it's red's turn.
He speaks in a language even more incomprehensible than his usual speech, and to his left, the air moves, and space itself contorts until there is black smoke, which then expands into fire.
What is left behind, is an absolutely massive black, dog-like creature with a flat face.
It immediately moves forward and bites at Posey

When walking over to the big doors of the church, the doors stretch infinitely up into the sky as pillar of black wood whereas the world disappears into a red backdrop. Psalm 236 snakes its way into her mind as it's played by an organ in another church, in another time.
"Pew Seat, a filly with an ordinary name but extraordinary capacity in her heart, for love..."
Reality returns.
She pants a few times and pushes one of the doors aside. When inside, she turns to Heather.
"Hehe, maybe you ought to lead since you know where we're going," she says and forces a smile onto her lips.

That's right. It was White moving this time. And white may actually be closer to Posey...
Both are closer to Brie, but Brie doesn't even look armed, so they aren't going to attack him

Wha- REEEEEEEEEE!
Dust snorts and rolls his eyes at the collective group. He's gonna give that unicorn a peice of his mind at some point for being so rash, but perhaps this will serve as enough of a lesson.
He hefts up his flail, and with a short chant through gritted teeth, slams it into the nearest structural beam to him as the hilt glows very faintly. The beam rings out as normal at first, but as it tapers off the vibration grows stronger, until they too start to fade and-
GONG
The beam rings out as if a bell, except much much louder. Painfully loud actually. Dust has cast sound burst, and unfortunately allies are affected as well as enemies, incurring 1d8 damage on everypone else in the room and a DC 16 fort save or stunned for one turn. Let's hope this damage is low and only the enemies fail their fort saves.
Silver [1d8 = 2]
Yellow [1d8 = 6]
Black [1d8 = 5]
Posey [1d8 = 8]
Red [1d8 = 3]

Ah, Heather was the filly. I thought it was the mare. ^^
Do you need something? The filly's voice repeats in her head, bouncing around.
She shakes her head.
"Yeah, maybe a towel. But I intend to train a bit before any potential sermons. Are there any sermons today? Maybe, I'll just dry off after training so that we don't need several towels."

I'm immune to the save, but ouch, a max damage roll, that bypasses her damage reduction.
Oh wait, I forgot I had SR. Make a caster level check to see if you affect Posey and the dog monster.

Cavaliere would attempt a stunned fist that misses...
But that hardly matters, as Brie goes in for a grapple...
But Brie failed his fort save and has been flashbanged by Defiant Dust, so...
Silver's turn (assuming white takes the same action as listed before
