The Reclamation of Zahvroma (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

"How quaint," Magestreia mutters.

"I suppose our undead friend has spent some time here."

"I'm just surprised he didn't put up a statue of himself."

I'm sorry if that was convoluded or difficult to understand...but she's a little out of sorts, tired, frustrated, and she's starting to feel like she's doing this alone. I know you don't mean to make her feel that way....but she's...overly emotional right now and stressed out on top of that and she's starting to feel like a failure as a parent. I just thought I'd try to explain what kind of "head space" Arista is coming from or something. I don't know....I'm tired, and hot, and feeling anxious for some reason...oh yeah...we were around a bunch of people in a crowded space that I didn't know and I just couldn't bring myself to talk to anyone except the ONE guy behind the counter that we see on a fairly regular basis. Arista doesn't really know how to explain everything that's been going on in her head....so it just came out that way. If it's too disorganized or something...or you don't understand it, then let me know and I'll try to...I don't know...do something to make it easier to understand or have her reword it or something. I was in a hurry so it kinda came out jumbled up.

Perception checks again.

Perception part deux: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Can I Do Better?: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Alethiro thought for a moment and took hold of her hand, "Of course I'll go with you. I doubt Ulli and Ashram would miss me that much."

Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

Ammon dropped into a defensive posture, his eyes twitching this way and that, "The statues have moved. Something's not right."

Putting her arms around him she leans her head on his shoulder, "I don't think they'd think that way at all...but you've been working really hard and deserve some time with your family. I just...I'm worried about Celine and this anger that seems to come from no where...but this time it was because I kept leaving and she didn't want me to. I'm not making excuses for that kind of behavior...but I can understand it after everything she went through in those mines. I'm just hoping that this whole school thing works out and that it helps Celine learn how to better deal with some of her social issues. While you're at the temple talking to Ulli tomorrow, I'm gonna bake some cookies with Celine. I told her I would spend time with her tomorrow if she was good for Rajni and she was so I have to hold up my end of the deal. At some point soon though I need to talk to Jelks and Barclay. I think they have enough on their plate to deal with for now though and I'm exhausted. How bout you love?" She asks with a yawn.

Holding his wife, "Physically, not really. Emotionaly, a little. Perhaps I could help with her anger issues? I mean, I do have some first hand knowledge of unchecked rage."

Perception: 1d20 + 20 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 4 + 3 = 33

"He's right, if we go too much further we'll be flanked by whatever is waiting up there for us." Cyna says.

"Then what do we do?"

She nods, "Maybe....but she's still really young. I'm not sure she even understands what she's feeling or why acting that way or acting out on her anger is not okay. She knows she upset me and she understands that I spanked her because I won't tolerate it....but I don't know if she grasps it fully." She just sort of shakes her head, "I don't know honey....I'm just tired and it's been a really really long day. Oh...before I forget, I saw Konstantyna today while I was at Yulia's having something to eat while I waited to see Jelks. She said she feels confident that she can go down to seeing me once a week...you know...since I'm being a good little pregnant woman and doing what I'm supposed to." She kind of lets out a little sigh as she smiles slightly at her husband while taking his other hand and placing it softly on her belly, "She's doing just fine in there and I'm gonna make sure it stays that way." Pulling back a bit from him she leans in and kisses him softly.

Sādhanā lets out a slight gasp of surprise at the information Oblivion reveals. "It's worse than it looks. The statues....they're all shards. More ahead of us, and some above us." the magus relates. "They're probably his defenses. Prepare for an attack."

She shifts her posture, ready to take the fight to the statues seeking to enclose them.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Whispering a prayer to Aroden, Celia focuses on the nearest statue, a shimmering field of energy surrounding her body.

Shield of Faith. +3 deflection to AC

With a little squeal of both the sting and the ensuing delight, Rhadaya races up the stars after Tes giggling all the way, barreling into the bedroom a few seconds behind her and throwing her arms around her, to fall onto the bed.

I have no idea how that rolled twice lol

"We'll take out the ones in the back first. Clear our path out of here if things go bad." Cyna whispers.

Tesia's eyes get large for a split second as she sees Rhy barreling in the room towards her. As they fall back on the bed she lets out a grunt and after catching her breath she looks into Rhy's beautiful face, "Okay love, one...the door is still open and Charity is trying to relax from a long day in the tub in our bathroom. Two...this isn't getting dressed, and three...you are far too tempting and beautiful for your own good." Pushing herself up on the bed she gives her a gentle loving kiss before letting her head fall back on the bed again. Looking as contrite and adorable as possible she says, "I'm sorry if I was a little....naughty too and teased you. I just...I couldn't help myself. You excite my spirit in ways no one ever has before and sometimes I just...I can't help but be a little naughty sometimes." Tesia says a little softly, her cheeks turning a light pink. Putting her arms around Rhy she strokes her hair softly, "Can we still go out? I'm not sure how late the old fish is open.....can we still go Rhy? I'll be good, I promise." She can't help the half smile she feels coming as she looks at her intoxicatingly beautiful wife. She really did feel like the luckiest woman on Vesaria. She hoped that Rhy wasn't too frustrated or upset by her slightly misleading and naughty behavior....but she really couldn't help it and she loved touching Rhy.....she also really liked sweets though, and she didn't want to disturb Charity. She gives Rhy her sad puppy dog face while sticking out her lower lip a little, "Am I in trouble?" She lets her voice quiver a little, while her eyes sparkle with mischief.

The statues drop any pretense and approach the group with stone weapons at the ready. Out of the mausoleums, a group of feral vampires emerge along with two who seem more in control of their bestial side.

Initiative:

Cyna: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
Sadhana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Celia: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Ammon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Ylrhea: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Magestreia: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Sienna: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Golems: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12

Enlightened: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Savage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Round 1: Cyna, Savage, Sienna, Spawn, Magestreia, Celia, Sadhana, Golem, Enlightened, Ylrhea, Ammon

As the Vampires finally show themselves Cyna casts Versatile Weapon on her bow. She then takes to the sky and fires a single shot at one of the stone statues.

Standard: Versatile Weapon Silver
Amazing Initiative: Eldritch Flight
Move: Fly Up
Swift: Fleet Charge to (E9) and Attack

Attack: 1d20 + 17 - 4 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 17 - 4 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 36
Damage: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Ignores DR.

The vampire wielding a greataxe moves forward and kicks open the gate. His muscles start to swell as he is overtaken by a rage.

Round 1: Cyna, Savage, Sienna, Spawn, Magestreia, Celia, Sadhana, Golem, Enlightened, Ylrhea, Ammon

Sienna unleashes her chains of fire against the vampires.

Burn: 12d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 5, 1, 2, 6, 3, 6, 2, 4, 3) = 45; S5 primary (DC 24 Reflex). All the others DC 22.

E Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26; Improved Evasion.
Sa Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
S Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25; Evasion.
S5 Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Sienna's target turns to mist as most of the other vampires avoid the spell. The remaining vampire spawn close in to attack.

Vs Ammon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Vs Sienna: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Vs Sadhana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Vs Celia: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

It is quickly evident that the vampire spawn are not strong enough to pose a threat to the group.

Round 1: Cyna, Savage, Sienna, Spawn, Magestreia, Celia, Sadhana, Golems, Enlightened, Ylrhea, Ammon

Magestreia steps up to Celia's side, smirking as she punches at the creature. Strikes count as cold iron, magic and silver.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22; Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

She grunts as she misses the second strike, but is satisfied by the impact her first punch had.

With a single word, Celia sends a wave of power, wrapping around all of her companions within a 30ft radius, enveloping them in her protection.

Aura of Protection (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of protection for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. You and your allies within this aura gain a +1 deflection bonus to AC and resistance 5 against all elements (acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic). The deflection bonus increases by +1 for every four cleric levels you possess beyond 8th. So +2 defelction to AC Res 5 to all elements

Oblivion flares to life, shifting form and becoming enveloped in violet flame as the magus slashes the opponent before her.

+5 (Flaming) Blackblade: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33
1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

+5 (Flaming) Blackblade: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Aura of Protection +2 deflection bonus to AC and resistance 5 against all elements Everyone within 30 ft of Celia

Rhy?

That same hint of mischief is reflected in Rhadaya's eyes as she looks into her wife's, every instinct screaming to dispense with the robes immediately. "Oh definitely." she replies with a purrs. "But a sweet treat is definitely in order first.....then trouble....lots of trouble."

She gives Yes a smoldering kiss before pulling herself with an groan, forcing herself to get off of her wife's supple body and walk across the bedroom to the dresser.

Clothes. That was why they came upstairs.....clothes

Tesia lets out a sound somewhere between a sigh and a groan as she tries to concentrate on the actual reason for coming upstairs, to put clothes on so they could get dressed. Her body tingles as Rhy tells her there's going to be time for trouble later.

Once Rhy is off of her she sighs again before getting up and lets her robe fall to the floor as she heads to the closet. She gets dressed in their warmer winter wear before going to the bed and putting her boots on. She then straightens up her hair a little so it doesn't look like they've been wrestling in the bed together.

When she's done getting ready she waits for Rhy to finish getting ready.

As Tesia sits on the bed waiting for Rhy, she thinks about what Rhy said about the trouble she would be in later. A light blush appears on her cheeks as she tries to imagine what kind of things that could entail.

Rhadaya lets out a giggle as she realizes that between trying to get dressed, thinking about...other things and taking long glances at Tes, beautiful body as she dresses, she'd begun to pull her boot onto the wrong foot.

Looking up to see the distracted blush on her goddess' face only intensifies her own. "Mmm...we need to get going.....or we won't" she says in a throaty whisper.

Looking up a little startled at her wife's voice as she's pulled back to reality from her own thoughts she manages to nod as she tries to find her legs to stand up, "Uhhh...yeah...let's go. I really hope he has something like that....ohhh ohhh....and can we have some of that eel stuff too? He just makes it sooo good." She says as she tries desperately to get her mind off of other things.

Going to the door she waits for Rhy to go first and follows her out. Leaving the house, Tesia locks the door behind them before putting an arm around her beloved as they head for The Old Fish.

Sādhanā's opponent turns to mist as well. The golems move forward to attack, one swiping at Cyna, the other going after Ylrhea.

Vs Cyna: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40; Damage: 2d10 + 9 ⇒ (2, 2) + 9 = 13

Vs Ylrhea: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37 Damage: 2d10 + 9 ⇒ (1, 7) + 9 = 17

The remaining vampire moves forward and drinks a potion, becoming blurry.

Round 1: Cyna, Savage, Sienna, Spawn, Magestreia, Celia, Sadhana, Golems, Enlightened, Ylrhea, Ammon

Ylrhea uses her dagger to cut a hole into the Shadow Plane and slips through to get away from the golems.

*Pokes Ammon with a stick* Hey...psst...I think it's your turn.

I just sat down and caught up. Give me a minute.

Okay okay....don't get your....fur ruffled? No....no...somehow I don't think that's right. Lol

Going into Flurry mode: +16 / +16 / +11 / +11 / +6. With the bonuses: +18 / +18 / +13 / +13 / +8.

Ammon pulled his arm back and launched his shield at the two Golems.

Throw vs G1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 Damage?: 2d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 + 1 = 14

Bouncing off his target, it sailed to the next.

Throw vs G2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23 Damage?: 2d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 + 1 = 17

As his shield flew away, the Catfolk and shot two quick jabs.

Punch vs S2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27 Damage?: 3d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 3) + 6 + 1 = 16

Punch vs S2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33 Confirm?: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 Damage?: 3d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) + 6 + 1 = 12 Waiting to know if that's a confirmation.

Ending in a spinning kick that allowed him to catch his returning shield.

Spin Kick vs S2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 Damage: 3d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 2) + 6 + 1 = 15

As he spun about, Ammon caught the shield, ready to defend himself.

Alethiro smiled, "They're both going to turn out fine. You'll see."

Giving him a tired smile she looks down, "How can you be so sure?"

@Ammon: No, that's not a crit.

Looking up a little startled at her wife's voice as she's pulled back to reality from her own thoughts she manages to nod as she tries to find her legs to stand up, "Uhhh...yeah...let's go. I really hope he has something like that....ohhh ohhh....and can we have some of that eel stuff too? He just makes it sooo good." She says as she tries desperately to get her mind off of other things.

Going to the door she waits for Rhy to go first and follows her out. Leaving the house, Tesia locks the door behind them before putting an arm around her beloved as they head for The Old Fish.

"Sure...anything you want....for now." Rhy says with a wink and a smile, leaning her head against her wife as they stroll toward the Old Fish.

Tesia gulps slightly, "Oohhh....okay Rhy." She says sounding a little nervous and excited at the same time.

As they head to The Old Fish she holds Rhy close. When they get there she holds the door open for Rhy before following her in.

Ieyasu smiles at the couple as they enter. "Good evening."

"Konbanwa Ieyasu-san." Rhadaya says with a smile and a bit of a bow. "How are things this evening?"

"Quiet, but that's always welcome," Ieyasu replies.
