Lavender starts to tap her foot, annoyed. "We don't have all day for you to count it, go and get your mistress!"

Lavender goes silent when Bahram deposits the gold. She crosses her arms in an impatient manner and stares daggers at the Mmphit after Bahram tells him to hurry up.

"We are done playing games with you, Andy. How much is this tribute. If we find it reasonable we will pay it, if not we will leave." Lavender responds impatiently.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Still here, ready to go!


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Do we even have anything to offer? Assuming we wish to tribute anything, which i don't.

"...Do we have to meet this Commander Thratnias lady? I can already tell from the way her minion is trying to shake us down for money that I'm not going to like her... I bet 10 gold when we get back that when we meet her, she is going to bat eyelashes at Bahram, declare me an enemy, and then one of us is going to do something stupid or violent and make all this moot." Lavender whispers back. "There are armed somethings? great...

Lavender looks over to the Mephit.
Diplomacy 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

"Stop your begging and retrieve your mistress. If she is half as important as you claim she is, she can give us 20 minutes out of her 'relaxation' time to see us. She can discuss tribute with us in person if she feels she is so inclined."


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

sorry guys, Between Christmas and getting sick, I haven't been posting. As soon as I am feeling better I will be back.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

...these mountains are filled with all sorts of weird creatures...

Lavender gives a courteous bow when Bahram introduces the group, and waits for the mephit to answer.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"I heard from a traveller that some places get soo cold it actually burns," Lavender continues as she wipes sweat from her brow. "But I doubt gold has anything to do with anything in here, blue or not."


1 person marked this as a favorite.

"I have something to stick in lava too, but let's worry about it when we get there. Didn't you just say we only have 10 minutes of fire protection? Besides, can you just summon a fire elemental to dip it in for you? Or can fire elementals not hold objects?"

Did Zaina get any fire protection? If not I say our new friend should be the one to be left out.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"I bet our new associate could answer some of those questions. But, I say we go in and check it out the cave."


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Besides scowling and staring daggers at the gnoll? Not in particular. :)

"So do we have to go into the cave? Or is this just stop one on our dog show tour?" Lavender asks Youself.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

*Sigh and Face palm!*


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"Fire cave, huh? Is there Lava inside the cave?" She asks the gnoll.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Lavender watches as Yousef and Rashid talk of arming the gnoll. She frowns. This is a bad idea. Giving it weapons and armor will just invite it to be more bold about betraying us."


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"Well. I don't like it either, but I'm not about to go against Father Rashid and his religion." Lavender grumbles in response to Haleen.

It's not a mater of 'if' he will betray us, it is 'when...'

"Yeah, lets go." Lavender can't help but keep a eye on the gnoll as the travel with him. It's obvious she doesn't like it.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Lavender floats down. "Ehh, it was probably overkill, but I wanted to make sure it was dead in one shot. One less Gnoll that can murder, rape, and enslave. The other one got away, up a rocky trail that leads off up the mountain at the back of the overhang." Lavender answers Yousef.

"So, what is up with this one? Seeing as Rashid is healing him, I guess finishing him off is out of the question?" Lavender asks as ske searches the the burnt gnoll.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Prof Potts:
Lavender draws her spear and from a good distance lets lose a blast of lightning at the gnoll.

Schocking Ray: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 114d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 6) = 16


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Lavender sighs. "I came to kill gnolls, not to help them. Take whatever it is he is hiding Yousef."

Lavender then cast's invisibility and spiderclimbs up to where the other gnolls were hiding, trying to be silent about it.

Stealth 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Haleen:
"Haleen, there is nothing going on between me and Yousef. At least not that I am aware of. Don't worry, I'm not the type of girl that steals men away from her friends. You'd have a better chance of getting me to kiss a gnoll." She says trying to reassure her.
Goddess, these men and their 'girlfriends' are going to be the end of me... -_-'

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Lavender whispers back to Rashid. "I saw them... Can I kill them?"


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

W-why would Yousef want Haleen to look like me? Lavender thinks to herself as she tries to suppress a blush.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Lavender pretends to not hear Haleen, as she tries to listen in on Yousef's answer.

When Keldar reappears, Lavender gets excited. "Alright, where there's smoke there's fire! Maybe I can get this stick working soon!" She says as she pulls out the wand that Almah had given her. "I'm ready to continue, lead the way Keldar!"


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Well, It's what we all have been thinking... hopefully we get points for honesty...


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Lavender calms down a bit listening to Rashid. "Sefu loves you Ms. Aisha. As Rashid said, he is willing to go to great lengths to win your affections. I know that he isn't one of these so called Higher Sphinxes, but I don't see any around for you to covet either. Sefu has a noble spirit, nobler daresay than any other sphinx I have ever met. You two would make a great couple."


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Lavender is close to doing that as well, although she has more restraint than Yousef. The only thing that stopped her is that she gave Sefu a chance.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"..."

Lavender doesn't respond to anything the sphinx says, although it isn't too hard to tell she's pissed.

10...9...8..7...6...Yousef...

Lavender places a firm hand on Yousef's shoulder, hopefully holding him back. still, she doesn't say anything.

...5...4...3...


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

I'm back. Not much for me to go off of since my last in character post, So I will wait for the conversation to continue.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

I'm also out of town. Should be back monday.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

...What the heck is wrong with this lady? She has some nerve... Lavender thinks through gritted teeth.

When she beckons Bahram, she facepalms. Great, It's the Harpy all over again...

"You know, it is common knowledge that people pick on persons that they like. Does the same hold true for sphinxes?" Lavender asks to Ashia.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Lavender shakes her head over the whole debacle. "Sorry Ms. Ashia, I wish we would have met in a less... Weird way, but Mr. Sefu really wanted to impress you and we wished to help him. We were foolish to not realize that a great sphinx such as yourself would see through our little ruse. I hope it was at least amusing."

"My name is Lavender Leaf, and it is a pleasure to meet you."

Once introductions are are over, Lavender asks, "So Ms. Aisha, how long have you and Mr. Sefu known each other? You seem to knew each other quite well, you even gave him a cute nickname!" Lavender says, trying to spin Aisha's insult.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"I bet Haleen isn't innocent either. Lets go try to straighten this out. Hopefully peacefully..." Lavender says to Rashid as they run into the room.

When she gets into the room, she turns to Sefu The only once she can see beside's Ashia, "What. Happened?!" Seriously, it hasn't even been half a minute and everything has gone haywire!


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

The second she started speaking common, I knew that she could see us... I had a feeling something like this would happen. XP


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Lavender turns to Rashid once the others are gone. "I don't know how different Bahram's spell is from mine, but my invisibility spell only lasts five minutes. I say we give them three or four minutes, then we go in while invisible too. That way if Bahram and the others are revealed we can be there if something bad happens. What do you think? "


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"...Wait a minute. She eats people? You don't eat people too, do you Mr. Sefu?" Lavender says defensively.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"Hmm, would it be so bad for us all to just go in and meet the sphinx? We can vouch for you, Mr. Sefu, tell her your a swell guy and all. Does Ms. Ashia like people? "


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"Well, invisibility only lasts 5 minutes, unless your spell is different then mine. I doubt that is going to last a conversation with a sphinx. A group of us appearing out of nowhere will probably lead us into trouble..."


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Yeah Bahram. Just say it in current Osirian, maybe add a bit of an old timey accent to it. It should work. I trick magic items by doing stuff like this all the time, a riddle ward shouldn't be too much different. I think. If you want, I will test it!"

Once we believe that we said what we need to say, Lavender tries to enter...


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"I don't know Sefu... If I were you I'd probably get fed up dealing with all of her riddles all of the time... Hey, Bahram! Good job! I bet that's it!"


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"Filthy beasts, they care for nothing sacred." Lavender mutters under her breath when Sefu mentions them. "I'm sorry to hear about your friend the Ziz bird. I would have loved to hear it sing..."


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Changing to Djinn will only change the following things:

Lose Electric Hands, Shocking Ray, Pyrotechnics,
Gain Shocking grasp, Invisibility, Scorching Ray

I've used shocking ray a few times before and I don't think I ever used Pyrotechnics. So I swapped Scorching Ray out with Pyrotechnics. Plus the Arcana lets me switch elements to electricity so it is pretty much the same thing.

If these changes are ok, I will make the changes on Lavender's Profile.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"Lead the way Mr... Sphinx? What do you call yourself? "


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Bahram, How are we going to use our wonder twin powers now?

The thing that is making me hesitate switching the bloodline is the whirlwind ability versus the Elemental Blast. Djinn is better in every way, flavor wise and ability wise except in this case. Whirlwind is ok, but it is based off strength. When Lav gets this ability her save dc will be 12. And in the off chance she succeeds, it will deal 1d3-2 non lethal damage (I think, I don't have a slam attack, so I assumed it would be the same as a punch). Elemental blast is not much better, but it grants electricity vulnerability for one round. In a good set up, Lav and Bahram could really dish out some hurt with it.

One thing I could do with the whirlwind is pick up 2 of the party members and carry them around in flight for a few rounds.

Hmm Still thinking about it, leaning heavily towards switching to Djinn.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"The only thing I have to write with is chalk. So who has a good riddle or story?"


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

I might adjust from Elemental bloodline to Djinn Blood line. Still thinking about it.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"Why hide who you are from her? I think you should woo her with charm, not gifts and illusions. Show her that your serious and that you love her. Eventually she will come around! Why are you changing your appearance anyway?"


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Lavender waits for the Sphinx to reply to Bahram.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Lavender does not look amused as she flicks off some of the water she was drenched with. "...And what would one normal offer for tribute for such a... show of power.

"Hold on, let me check my satchel, I might have some courage in here...Or maybe at least a medal...


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

Oops I didn't see your post Yousef. You must have posted while I was typing mine . My post was on the next page so I missed it.


hp 35 | AC 12 | T 12 | FF 10 | CMD 12 | F +2 | R +3 | W +3 | Init +8 | Per +8 || LL 8 || Sp ~/8/2 ||| SpC 8min

"Man... It's like we've been climbing these mountains forever..." Lavender complains as she continues along with the others. "What tha-!" Lavender exclaims as she scrambles to get out of the rising waters!

Climb 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

"Gah! Spider Climb, Spider Climb, Spider Climb! Please tell me I still got some more use out of you slippers today!" With the assistance of the slippers of spiderclimb, Lavender gets to higher ground, not without getting wet!

"...What in the heck was that?!"

Yay! This game is back! I'm a bit heavy loaded, just started GMing my 1st pbp game myself. So I might be a bit slow going at times , but if this game is starting back up, I'm all for it. It's been a while so I might have to get re-acquainted with the character. A Revisiting of the character build might not be a bad idea.

I'm diffidently in though.
