Caelash casts invisibility on himself, and maneuvers to the other side of the tree. Moving about 5 ft, as a move action.


Uriel charges, closing the distance and swinging mightily with his scimitar.

mechanics:

Note 1. I was given a description of how she appeared when she came within the 60' range of my darkvision. At that point she was walking toward camp. After she came closer she drove her swords into the ground and began casting. Seems to me she is no more than 40' away now. I am working under that assumption

Note 2. Gain +2 to hit and -2 ac from charge. Gain an additional +2 to hit and damage from mutagen's +4 bonus to strength. So, AC is 21 until the start of Uriel's next turn when it returns to 23.

Bleeding from a head wound and a cut arm, the woman will point her findger at Caelash and say "Help me"
Caelash, roll a will save


Well, Caelash is invisible and behind the tree trunk (no line of sight), but if the will save still applies...

you start feeling a lot of compassion and pitty for the wounded woman

Uriel & Caelash your turn


Uriel reacts swiftly and strikes twice at the woman.

@ ulgulanoth:

Did she do something that would have provoked an attack of opportunity from Uriel and/or Ian?

Some "mechanics" in a spoiler or ooc such as five foot step and whether it is a spell-like (provokes AoO) or supernatural (doesn't provoke AoO) would help.

Thanks

Uriel

Spoiler:
she didn't provoke an attack of opportunity, since it was a supernatural ability

When it is Ian's turn. Ian will swing his greatsword in a full attack swinging as hard as he can and then come around agian for another powerful stirke.

Ulgulanoth:
Is this just a feeling, or am I compelled to act on this feeling?

Dark Archive

male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3

Caelash

Spoiler:
your compelled to act on the feeling


Ulgulanoth:
As a player, I call shenanigans, due to being behind the tree and invisible, and thus unable to be targeted, but I'll act accordingly, since it may be a homebrew mechanic.

Caelash remains where he is, and casts mage armor in order to feel more safe but decides not to attack again, as he is overwhelmed with pity and compassion for the hostile woman advancing on them.

From somewhere up in the tree, Caelash's voice calls to his allies, "Perhaps we should halt our attacks... she did just come to rescue her father. I feel so bad for her."

Caelash

Spoiler:
it is a homebrew ability

the woman blocks the attacks and then points at Uriel "Don't hurt me"
Uriel roll a will save


Uriel steels himself against her words

mechanics and question:

Did my attacks hit? An adjusted 27 followed by an adjusted 26 (27 for crit confirmation) would add another 28 points of damage on top of what she has already taken. That was a full attack action not an AoO.

regardless, here is the save

Uriel

Spoiler:
both of your attacks hit, and you seem to ignore her words just fine


Ulgulanoth:
Since it exists in the game, how would one go about learning an ability that allows you to target an untargetable creature with a supernatural ability? As a character, that would come in handy very often. Perhaps a witch hex, since they're supernatural?

Caelash

Spoiler:
well its a creature ability (which might be saying too much) but i can write it up as a hex if you'd like...


Be wary! I have sensed another evil entity in the trees!

Uriel quickly strikes again at his adversary.

With the second set of attacks the woman collapses on the verge of death.

what do you do now?

Ian looks around looking and listening for the second evil entity in the trees.

perception
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32


Do not worry about what is out there. I will stabilize this woman. There are too many questions as to what is happening for now.

Uriel uses his gift from Sarenrae to prevent the woman from dying.

sacred touch to stabilize


What do we do with her now? She will be dangerous when and if she wakes.


male half elf level 1 ranger(horselord)/summoner level 2 cavailer/druid level 3 ranger(horselord) /cleric level 4 fighter(mounted fury)/bard level 5 gunslinger/rouge(scout) level 6 cavalier/summoner level 7 ranger/ summoner

Ian says "I should have built a bigger cage." Ian then procedes to look for spell component pouches or anyhing on her that should could get out in a fight. Ian then thinks "Maybe I should tie her up as she still may be able to use magic inside the cage."


Definitely we should gag her so that she can't speak. Hopefully that will end or limit her abilities.

Ian responds "Good idea" to Uriel. and takes out his rope from his backpack and then gets a gag ready do gag the unconcious woman.


"Caelash? Are you alright? You can come our now." Uriel finishes with a laugh. "Just trying a little humor."

alright, you now have an unconsious, tied up, gaged woman to deal with

Ian

Spoiler:
she has many rings and pendants which could be magical, also she has a spell component pouch and a few scrolls


male half elf level 1 ranger(horselord)/summoner level 2 cavailer/druid level 3 ranger(horselord) /cleric level 4 fighter(mounted fury)/bard level 5 gunslinger/rouge(scout) level 6 cavalier/summoner level 7 ranger/ summoner

Ian will remove the rings and scrolls from her possesion in case they are magical.

Ian then casts detect magic on the rings.

Ian

Spoiler:
there is 8 rings in total, 2 are magical, one has strong enchantment aura and the other has a strong necromancy aura

Detect magic, as well, and Spellcraft to identify the properties:

Spellcraft 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Spellcraft 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Caelash gracefully lands from the tree, after becoming visible. He rubs his head, looking a bit dazed, and says, "That woman enchanted me for a moment. I felt true pity for the lying she-wolf. I've not felt pity since I was a child. It was... uncomfortable."

Caelash helps tie her up, and then says, "How would you both feel if we blindfolded her before we question her? And maybe crippled her hands, just to be safe?"

Ulgulanoth:
Don't worry about it now, but if you would closer to when we level up that would be awesome, actually. And I promise not to metagame based on that.

Ian asks Caelash "Do you know what the magical rings are".

Ian know will start looking at the scrolls and then cast read magic to figure out what they are.


Uriel continues to keep watch in case anything else just "happens" by.

Do not forget that this is still my watch while you are supposed to be sleeping. We all will still need our rest.

Spoiler:
alright, i'll change the hex up a bit so you can take it earlier the first ring seems to be able to cast a few times a day an enchantment of friendship (3/day charm monster) and the second ring seems to be able to cast a weakening spell a limited times a day (3/day enervation)


"The first ring seems to be able to cast a few times a day an enchantment of friendship (3/day charm monster) and the second ring seems to be able to cast a weakening spell a limited times a day (3/day enervation)."

What is the CL and Save DC of these?

Ian says "good" and sheaths his greatsword and goes back to bed.

CL12 for both, charm monster DC20, enervation DC22


Caelash puts on the ring of friendship and wakes up the mayor. "Looks like we got off to a wrong start, friend. My name is Caelash, and I was wondering if maybe I could lend a ear while you unload your troubles." DC 20 Will Save vs charm monster.

He fails the will save,

He starts telling you how hard its been having to let go of villagers because his hands are tied, though he doesn't say why. He implies that these villagers disappear.

Ian while seeming half asleep after a long day. He then turns over.


Uriel takes note of and wraps up the two swords the woman had stuck in the ground. He will figure out what to do with them in the morning.


Does he not regard me as his trusted friend?

Dark Archive

male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3

he does, but that is a subject he wouldn't talk to his trusted friends in detail for their safety

Uriel

Spoiler:
when you touch the swords you are for a moment, overwhelmed by the evil locked inside, they speak to you "Kill them, free our masters! fall into temptation! FALL!


Ian, Caelash, I don't believe this particular discussion can wit til morning. These two swords have entities locked within of overwhelmingly powerful evil. They wish us to free their masters. Do you think by chance their "masters" would be the evil from outside the universe, or whatever it is, that was mentioned in the notes or do you think their master are our two captives? Further, how do you believe it would be best to handle these dangerous items regarding our safety?

Uriel

Spoiler:
you come up empty, swords of this power and evil should clearly be in the history books but you recall nothing of the sort, the symbols on them are completely unknown to you and you can't work out what they can do

the mayor smiles and says "I wish you could help me, but no one can help us now"


male half elf level 1 ranger(horselord)/summoner level 2 cavailer/druid level 3 ranger(horselord) /cleric level 4 fighter(mounted fury)/bard level 5 gunslinger/rouge(scout) level 6 cavalier/summoner level 7 ranger/ summoner

Ian gets back up groaning a little and says "I doubt all but the most powerful of artifacts can tempt evil from inside the pocket dimension of CAelassh's Haversack. We might be able to cut their influence off by putting them in there."


Ulgulanoth:
I think we may be reading different books. I understand that, if for story-purposes, you don't want the mayor divulging any information, but at the least, wouldn't he off some additional information, even if he doesn't spill his guts? Such as why he cannot tell me, whether he has any true remorse/guilt over his actions, etc.? As it stands, it feels as if I'm being punished for using basic tactics, and unexagerrated uses of the rules. I fully accept what's good for the story/DM's whim, but outright saying "Ha, sorry, doesn't work, even though the rules say it should," feels pretty lousy.

Ian yawns and tells Caelash "Maybe you could ask him why sitting half up in his bedroll."

Spoiler:
i really don't want to appear as saying "Ha, sorry, doesn't work, even if the rules say it should" because that is not my intention at all. now if you want to get more information from the Mayor i'm not going to stop it, but you will need to goad him a little into telling you what exactly you want to know


male half elf level 1 ranger(horselord)/summoner level 2 cavailer/druid level 3 ranger(horselord) /cleric level 4 fighter(mounted fury)/bard level 5 gunslinger/rouge(scout) level 6 cavalier/summoner level 7 ranger/ summoner

Ian yawns again not knowing what to do being half asleep.
