Jezebel hands her wand off to the inquisitor, "It is yet unused. Save your spells for emergencies if you like" Jezebel is at full health, and moves again to the catapult to fire on the next wave of intruders once they are in sight. Off and on today and tomorrow. Feel free to roll for me when you are ready for phase 2. Engineer is at +9, +10 if someone casts guidance for the shooting
Female Elf Wizard
Likewise satisfied that the fires are out, Jezebel follows the brave fire resistant inquisitor, attempting to use him as soft cover if necessary. "Sorry, your armor will do better than my skin. . . " with her wand at the ready in case someone should come into her line of sight. Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Female Elf Wizard
"FIRE!" the wizard yells at the top of her lungs, gesturing at the fire before running down the stairs.
I think we need our preceptors and ranged on the walls to keep an eye on the enemy, to kill the damn archers, and locate the ones sneaking around back. . . . We should get the non-ranged, non perception types on bucket brigade!
Female Elf Wizard
"Perhaps they would be easier to shoot if you could see them easier? More importantly, maybe their arrows will stop if they cannot see us. . ."
Jezebel pulls some fine glittering sand from her pouch and blows. As the dust settles around the soldiers, they are all covered in a glowing outline! DC 18 Will (each round until saved) to avoid blindness (3 rounds)
Female Elf Wizard
The mage asks for help rolling the barrel of oil into the bedroom above the murder holes.
Jezebel yells down, "do we have any clerics? Someone who can create water? We should deal with those sparks before they become fires. Wizards can do amazing things with a little fire . . . "
Female Elf Wizard
Pointy stick to the thigh, or boulder to the head. If I had to randomly guess, I would bet boulder does a better job of killing enemies. The catapult overlooks we well. How about the archers and I fling boulders until the catapult becomes useless, then you switch to arrows? In the mean time, Jezebel tries to fix and partially fuel the light house, it only needs to work a couple hours. Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Female Elf Wizard
"This time, I think we should put three on the catapult to get as many shots off as we can. The more we kill on the field, the less fly over the wall. Also, getting this light fueled so we can see who is coming might be a good idea. Lets check that store room for any fuel. Any ideas on the lens?" Jezebel will take a full minute to explore the storage room, hoping someone else will tag along. Take 20 on perception, storage = 22.
Female Elf Wizard
Jezebel relays Jory's message, "The leader is with Jory, at the at the top of the lighthouse! Reinforcements are needed as soon as possible!"
@DrGabe: In case I am not around tomorrow morning:
After relaying the message, Jeze moves to a place where she can either see the flying officer or the soldiers prefer officer and triggers her spring loaded wrist sheath, popping the wand of Magic Missile into her hand. Once she has line of sight, she points and activates the wand. Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Female Elf Wizard
My Engineering is +9, so that makes a 23, 15, 14, 29. I assume that since this is a skill check, a 20 is not a crit. The two misses have an excellent chance to hit if I get Aid from Others. Are the Kitchen Help able to assist? If not . . . Please everyone? They wouldn't put it here if we weren't to use it. . .
Female Elf Wizard
Send the kitchen staff to me, they can help load, I will fire the catapult. Those with nothing better to do than to wait until the enemy approaches closer might find the catapult a good investment of their time. Jezebel rushes up the steps, and with help, loads and fires the catapult as many times as humanly possible before the enemy is close enough to make the catapult ineffective. Catapult, I rolled four with no bonuses, as we dont know what skill to add.: Catapult!: 1d20 ⇒ 14 Catapult!: 1d20 ⇒ 6 Catapult!: 1d20 ⇒ 5 Catapult!: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Female Elf Wizard
Jezebel nods, "I will get the fires stoked, meet me in the room, and I will make sure to use any and all wands you may have on you, so long as they are within my ability to use." Once everything is ready in the bedroom, Jezebel casts "Mage Armor" on herself as well. "As soon as they threaten to breach the main doors, I will cast Enlarge Person on those who will gain the most from it. Once they are in the room below the murder holes, we will dump the boiling oil on them, then I will hit them with Glitterdust. If we are lucky and they are all packed in there tight as sardines, I will create a pit underneath them so you front liners have a better chance at dealing with the enemy one on one. I don't know how many waves of assault there will be, but the harder we shut down each one, the better it will be for us all. "Master, I assure you I am not Aspis. I have faith in your ability to make that decision on your own. As you can see, I am completely unarmed aside from my little shield here. My back is completely yours to do with as you please, but at the moment I have to focus on keeping you and Master Li alive." "Once we are all as strengthened by magic as is likely, we should get to the siege engine, and look for targets. It would serve us well to destroy as many as possible before it comes to man to man combat, eh?[ I believe Master Tsundo has the right of it, Aspis are likely as not the source of this trouble."
Female Elf Wizard
Many of the letters are substitution for the same letter, for example here, in every case, an "i" means "a" and vice versa, but here, b means "f" in all cases, but "c" means L in Locker, "f" means "c" in locker, so there are stray letters. You can kind of jiggle the words in your head once you are close though. . ."
WHAT A MAN!
I JUST HAVE TO VENT.
OKOXU ZXEHYFWAES GO'? (apparently this is a d?)

Jezebel begins to rush off to stoke the fires underneath the boiling liquid in kettles above the murder-holes. As she starts up the steps, Jezebel points out, "That certainly looks bad. Might I suggest someone bar the doors and someone else mount the tower and get the catapult ready?"
Female Elf Wizard
"I am a member of the sub-sect of the Pathfinders known as the Silver Crusade. Our primary goal is to help those in most need. We do our best to ensure that our fellow Pathfinders are safe, supported, and taken care of. I have never been asked to kill anyone for any reason, and generally, I try to avoid such things, when ever possible. I just wish more people would endeavor to make it possible. What can you tell me about your order, Sir? Perhaps you would like to speak to the head of my order? It would be a great honor. I am certain that the goals of an organization named for the noble Kirin would have much in common with my simple group. I am not blessed with a honeyed tongue, but perhaps my companions could make this make more sense." Faction Mission! If anyone could be a diplomat for me, I would greatly appreciate it!
Female Elf Wizard
Jezebel changes into her courtesan outfit, wearing her hamaki underneath as a corset. As she and the others prepare, she repeatedly casts 'Prestidigitation" to ensure everyone is clean, neat, and all their garments are in order. She also uses the spell to make sure her own hair, and anyone else who asks hair, is perfect. Jezebel sits quietly and listens, not speaking a word until asked by Tsueno, "My job is simply to be well informed sir. I read anything I can get my hands on, and I work very hard to keep abreast of important world developments, such as this meeting, Master Tsueno." As she finishes, Jezebel bows politely to let the others know she has finished, and to show respect to the two Masters sitting at the table. K. Local Tsuesno: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 If Jezebel is prompted, or asked for further information, she will relay any information she has (the polite parts only) about Tsuesno back to him to demonstrate. Otherwise she will share with her fellow Pathfinders after the tea ceremony when they have privacy.
Female Elf Wizard
Being done with the murder holes, Jezebel check on the progress of boiling liquids to be places in the bedroom, the moves to supervise the construction of the catapult, using the remains of the bedroom furniture. K. Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 "Perhaps one of you who is slightly more likable than me should ask Venture Captain Li if she might be able to spare some of her laborers and tools to speed up our efforts, and to bring ammunition up for this thing, once it is rebuilt."
Female Elf Wizard
Jezebel aids the tengu as best she can Aid Other, Perception (inspect stilts): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Jezebel will freely share any knowledge she gains with her companion(s). 'I agree, we should get started on the major projects as soon as possible. I suggest catapult, then murder holes, then stuff that will burn or melt those beneath the murder holes."
Female Elf Wizard
Jezebel relates her findings to the group, and offers to supervise the construction of the catapult. "if there is a large scale attack, I think having such an instrument would be most beneficial. I believe we should strip the bedroom's furnishings, and set up murderholes in the bedroom floor.." Having made her offer, she lets the rest inspect as they see fit, reminding them, "We may not have much spare time, so lets quickly come to an agreement on what should be done. Say meet here again in fifteen minutes?" If everyone is in agreement, Jezebel heads to the kitchen to look for large pots, and as much oil or other flammable fuel possible as well as spare large kettles, pots, or other vessels that might be used to make vats of boiling oil for the murder holes. Barring that, stuff that can be ignited then poured down on the enemies. K. Engineer Murder Holes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Female Elf Wizard
"Of course. I suggest we take a pass through the building and the grounds making sure all is clear before we get readied for the festivities. " Turning to the venture captain, Jezebel asks, "Is there somewhere out of your way that would be best served as our staging area? I would like to find some high ground in case of trouble, and ensure the general area is secure. In the mean time, we need a place to store our gear. Glancing around at the building, Jezebel tries to locate any weak places, and determine whether or not there are likely any hidden rooms, a basement, or easily penetrated places in the walls. She also checks for more defensible areas, and defenses that may be in place but in need of upgrade or repair. K. Engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Female Elf Wizard
Purchases to make: Tent, Bedroll, Firewood, Twine, Bells. Nice Clothes What can you tell us of our destination?
Knowledge History: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 Way of the Kirin and its interactions with the Lantern Lodge Knowledge Geography: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 Determine anything of substance about where we will be headed. Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 Determine likely creatures of the area. Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 Determine magical beasts we may face in the area. Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Anything else of import relating to the area, and the house itself. (Haunted?)

Jezebel bows deeply, "I am honored Venture Captain Li. I have not seen your lovely face since you last asked me to fetch a certain jade sword for you. I hope the time has been kind, and rewarding." Once the formalities have been taken care of, Jezebel asks, "How may we be of service to you, Mistress?"
Female Elf Wizard
This is Jezebel Savet checking in. I realize I am playing up. Like most teleportation spec wizards, I focus on Conjuration. Level 3 means I have access to second level spells! Yay! My first task will be to hand my CLW wand to whoever is capable of using such a thing on me. My second task is to answer various and varied Knowledge based questions. (most at +9, some at +10)
