Llyra Bjorgan's page

Hey all - I did not even realize that this game had been added. I am down to 1 game at present, from over 20 at one point several years ago.

If you are still looking for one more, I could probably update Llyra. Is there anything in particular that we are looking for?

As a warning, I try to check the boards every day, but am nowhere near as consistent as I used to be.

Also, for anyone going, I will be at GenCon next weekend, so don't expect too much in the next week - I am running 8 session at GenCon. - If you are playing, I will be running 10-03 six times, as well as the two specials.

Llyra looks at Jerin:
But, is he capable of destroying the undead? Or will he simply create his own army which we would then have to deal with when we are at our weakest?

I'm always here, just concerned by the very slow pace that this campaign has taken on.

I have 3k. Can we craft one? Or does Jerin not have Craft Wand?

Gravewatch Pendant could be useful as it effects touch attacks as well.

I am looking at:
a Gravewatch Pendant (8,000) <-- unless Jerin can craft one
White Shoanti war paint (1,800)

Upgrade my shield and armor to +3 (5,000 each -- 10,000 total)

Any thoughts. This will leave me with 3000 gold for any other disposables we may need.

I'm here. Also busy and trying to figure what to spend money on for Llyra.

Hmmm - Ghostbane Dirge is nice, probably don't need the mass version though.

Hallow is interesting. We could consecrate a building in the fort to use as a resting place. Probably not that effective, but seems like a really cool thematic idea.

Smite Abomination would be good for my whip, especially against any enemy with DR.

Hymn of Mercy and Undeath Ward are also interesting, although not sure how useful as they might be too situational.

Also, I think you are referring to Breath of Life, not Pillar of Life. I will probably grab Disrupting Weapon for Krenn since it will take down a bunch of moderately powerful undead real quick.

Any other thoughts?

All leveled. Any thoughts on preparation? Also, any thoughts on good anti-undead spells for me are appreciated. This my most powerful character, and only cleric, so I am not as familiar with all the spells that may be useful.

HP: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Skills:
Stealth, Perception, Disable Device

+1 Wisdom

Sell most of the stuff. Keep the potions, the Wand of CMW, and the crossbow. Not a big fan of Human Bane, but if we see any evil humans that need to be shot, would be worth having. Not sure what Krenn has, although I can use it as well.

Dotting - will also be leveled pretty soon. An easy level for me as not much happens to clerics at even levels.

Llyra knows a good time when she sees one. Although she is not an ardent follower of some of the more well known dominions of Calistria, this does not mean that she will avoid worshipping the Savored Sting in other manners if the option arises.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Forgot to post the roll earlier. Not great, but with several assists, hopefully it will make it.

Llyra walks forward and places the point of her rapier against the man's adams apple.

Vengeance is a dish best served cold. Killing you in a battle would have been an honor you did not deserve. Furthermore, if you were dead, then it would slow our hunt for those who guide your hand.

So, it is time to begin talking. I would advise that you start soon, for while the Savored Sting is known for providing great pleasure. Her other domains are not so enjoyable. And, it would give me great pleasure to introduce you to my other . . . skills.

As she finishes this, she slowly increases the force on her blade so that it is biting, ever so slightly into the man's neck, drawing the smallest of rivulets of blood.

Llyra will continue to support and fight with Krenn to wipe out any remaining mantis assassins. If necessary, she will use her heal skill to "question" the Cinderlander and get any information out of him that she can.

Llyra will move over toward the laughing Cinderlander. She will ready her whip and prepare to drop the man back to the ground should he overcome the spell and get back up.

Ready action to trip using the whip, if he manages to stand back up.

Krenn has Armor Training, at level 7 fighters with Armor Training can move at their normal speed - 30' - in heavy armor. Unless his movement is reduced for some other reason, he should be (30'+30')*3 = 180'. Also, since he can move normally in heavy armor, shouldn't he be able to run as x4, for a total movement of 240'?

Alex posted as recently as 2 days ago. Pretty sure that DM Aron and Alex know each other in RL as well.

Congrats again on the new job.

Sorry about the delay, did not realize you were waiting for me

Seeing yet more foes, Llyra moves forward and calls upon Calistria's blessing:

Cast Prayer - +1 attack/damage/saves/skills for friends
- 1 attack/damage/saves/skills for friends

Move to AA5, next to Krenn, and blocking for Curnach and Jerin

I do not have Combat Reflexes, not sure if I can make another AoO.

Llyra looks to Krenn.
I will try to knock them down. You put them out of their misery.

My Init should be +5.

Llyra calls upon the power of Calistria and suddenly a duplicate of her appears.

Move Action: Copycat

She then draws her whip and lashes out at the Gargoyle before her (Z4).

CMB-Trip: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27 <-- should not draw AoO from Whip Mastery
--> not sure if I get a +2 flanking bonus
--> I also threaten 10' if these two try to stand up

If that one goes down, she strikes a second time at the one behind her and adjacent to Krenn (X3).

CMB-Trip: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Pretty much all set. Swapped out Life Bubble for Cleanse.

Llyra listens quietly as it is discussed that that all must become Sklar-Quah. Having lived in many places, she clearly does not understand the importance which the Shoanti place on this. However, it this is the means to the vengeance that the city of Korvosa requires to rid it of the evil which has befallen it, then she will listen to the quest, and undertake it if it is doable.

If you have a task for us, please inform us of what this is. Vengeance must be brought upon the usurper of the Korvosan throne and until we know what it is we face, most anything we will attempt is likely to end in failure. Unless the test is impossible, I will face it and I believe my companions, despite their general tenor of disliking the steps we must go through, will also face this test such that we may be allowed to know that which is needed to defeat the would-be queen and her gray minions.

Llyra too stands just behind Jerin as he recites the evil that has befallen Korvosa. She does not draw any weapons, but wears her hornet holy symbol prominently upon her chest.

Seeing Krenn struggle under the magical poison, Llyra flies over to him and lays her hand on his broad shoulders.

Cast Restoration, Lesser: 1d4 ⇒ 3

I also have an open slot for another Restoration if necessary.

Lol - I am neutral with a CN deity, no problem here.

She will be in for a burning surprise. I will like to see her worm her way out of that one.

Llyra looks down at the . . .squirrel.
Who knew such a cute creature was in that giant worm?

Nonetheless, she stands ready should the creature revert to its prior gigantic size.

The spiritual ally will attack. If Krenn attacks, then the spiritual ally will use aid another to help Krenn, as well as providing flanking. If not, the spiritual ally will attack normally.

Attack (Aid Another or norm if Krenn does not attack): 1d20 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Attack (Aid Another or norm if Krenn does not attack): 1d20 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Llyra looks to Jerin:
Want us to just beat on it? We can always take to the air and both of us have freedom of movement right now so we should not be able to be swallowed.

I can aid another with the whip from 15' which should be above its reach. The Spirit Ally can aid another and flank. This should give Krenn a ton of bonuses to his attacks.

While waiting for a response, Llyra casts another spell to assist the group.

Cast Prayer - +1 attack/damage for us, -1 attack/damage for the cindermaw

While the others delay, Llyra says a prayer to the Savored Sting. A moment later, a beautiful glowing woman wearing little more than a light flowing gown appears wielding a long glowing whip. The woman immediately lashes out at the fiery worm, unlikely to do much with such a small weapon, but attacking nonetheless.

Cast Spiritual Ally - the ally will appear behind the worm so that we have flanking for Krenn when he attacks.

Attack-whip-force: 1d20 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Likewise, I will stay in the air with Krenn and Curnach while our wizard get munched.

Moving response from IC to avoid clogging the IC.

What type of computer do you use? I hear that the newest version of Mac OS does not work with MapTools. They might have fixed it, but I have not upgraded because of the glitch.

Looks good, will mark off the second Protection from Energy and Life Bubble.

Sorry, I tend to just respond to comments wherever they happen to be. Things start in the IC, so I just respond there without thinking that they belong in the OOC.

If Jerin wants to go in, that is fine. With Communal Resist Energy and Protection from Energy, everyone has the protection. 30 minutes for Jerin.

And, really, Jerin is probably the best choice since he has been playing point on this anyway.

I guess I figured that with Krenn inside, he could do a whale of a lot of damage and the AC is probably much lower. If he was not taking serious damage, he could rip the thing apart in no time (at least until it turned into a small puppy with an axe wielding halforc exploding out from within.)

I do have an open slot in 2nd level where I can get another Resist Energy, but this will take like 15 minutes I think. I can also cast Protection from Energy(acid) on you if you want as I have a 3rd level domain spell of Protection from Energy that I have not cast. I was planning on waiting and using it on you or me when our first Protection from Energy(fire) wore out.

I think that Krenn (Resist Energy 30, Protection from Energy 120, Stoneskin, Freedom of Movement, whatever else the crazy ex-dwarf may be under) is the best getting swallowed option.

Question, can we allow ourselves to be swallowed even if under the Freedom of Movement? And then attack from within without the Grappled condition?

Do we all have to be eaten? Or just one or two? Unfortunately I do not have any more Freedom of Motion.

Everyone should have Resist Energy(fire) 30 and 120 points of Protection from Energy(fire).

Immediately before Jerin casts his first summons, I will use my Copycat ability to create a single Mirror Image of myself.

My prep spells are casting Resist Energy, Communal and Protection from Energy, Communal as well as Freedom of Movement on Krenn and myself.

All - Resist Energy(fire) 30 for 30 minutes each (20 for Curnach since he has Resist Energy 10 anyway and the total time is 110 minutes)

All - Protection from Energy(fire) - gives 120 points of fire protection - same 30 minutes duration, 20 for Curnach

Krenn & Llyra - Freedom of Movement - 110 minutes duration

That is what I was asking about. My 5th level domain spells are break enchantment and false vision. Situationally useful spells. My 4th level spells are confusion and freedom of movement, much more useful spells. Since we are expecting to meet a gigantic worm, I am not expecting to need break enchantment while we all agree that Freedom of Movement will likely be most useful.

I know that if the spell is not on the cleric spell list, then I can only put it into a domain slot.

Alex, to you have a cite to that rule. Here is Sean K. Reynolds on the issue. According to him, applying metamagic and using other level slots is no different for domain spells than for anything else.

Is the Red Reaver now traveling with us?

Also wondering about my next feat. Greater Whip Mastery follows what I have been doing. And I have a great whip. The question is how often it will be useful.

Another option, if Jerin can add +2 Int to my headband at some point, is to take Combat Expertise and then Butterfly Sting so that I can transfer crits to Krenn. I have 12 Int, so do not qualify at this point.

I am also open to any other ideas. This is my only cleric, so I am not sure what else would be useful. I could grab a channel feat such as Selective Channel or Alignment Channel if people think this would help.

HP: 1d8 ⇒ 7

The arcane discovery Staff-like Wand is pretty sweet. It requires Craft Staff, but that is not terrible. I think it would be sweet to craft wands of Magic Missile with Toppling Metamagic, and then use the Staff-Like Wand. You would get 5 trip attacks at like +20 with your Int and level.

Fast Study is also not bad, if you like to leave slots open.
