Ashava’s blessing has granted a temporary form of lycanthropy that is fully under your control. This has no influence on your character’s alignment, personality, or motivations unless you would like to make this a transformative experience for your character. The blessing has the following effects.
You can change shape. You have three forms—your typical form, a wolf form, and a hybrid form. You can shift to any of your three forms as a move action. If this PC has earned the Celestial Lycanthropy boon from #10–05: Mysteries Under Moonlight, Part 1, you gain that boon’s benefits for free for this entire scenario.
HYBRID FORM
If you shift to your hybrid form, you gain the following benefits.
Senses: Your senses sharpen, granting you darkvision (60 feet), low-light vision, and scent.
Defenses: You gain DR 5/silver and a +2 bonus to natural armor.
Attacks: You gain a bite attack that deals 1d6 points of damage if you are Medium or 1d4 if you are Small. If the bite attack hits, you can attempt a combat maneuver check to trip your target as a free action.
Pack Leader: You can communicate and empathize with wolves. You can use Diplomacy to alter a wolf’s attitude, and you gain a +4 racial bonus on the check when doing so.
WOLF FORM
If you shift to your wolf form, you gain all of the benefits listed for the hybrid form as well as the following two effects.
Speed: Your base speed increases to 50 feet.
Wolf Shape: All of the gear that you are carrying or wearing melds into your body until you switch to another form. All items that give constant bonuses still give their bonuses, except armor, which does not function. Unless you have other feats or class features that would allow you to do so, you cannot speak, cast spells, or manipulate objects that would require the use of hands.

I forgot about natural armor in hybrid, but will NL get through DR? I should be able to hit 50%, but add 20% and blech. :) also I am pretty sure I did 9 points alone to purple.
Vornsk swings with the cold iron gauntlet and bounds away from the red fairy. As she does she pulls a wand from its holster and offers it to Rillia. "Try tis."

"Maybe later when this is all over. We could go to a nice inn, and get drinks first. Maybe start with a hot bath, and then a massage. I've been told I give excellent massages. And to be honest I'd rather use mine if it's all the same to you Vornsk. It's lacquered. Yours looks a bit rough." begins Rilia absently while trying to think of a way to deal with the little pests.
Burning hands is not on either of Rilia's spell lists. Anyone have bug spray or a net?
DR doesn't care about lethal versus non-lethal damage. Personally I suggest people start using Aid Another with the highest damage dealer. Gelly's Magic Missiles will slowly yet surely chip away. You could also just retreat, but who knows what will happen to the woman they captured...
Glorne: No one has tested or asked about resistances. Hopfrey did get a DC high enough to ask a question, but he didn't. I'll assume he asked about resistances. They have no elemental resistance.
Glorne drops his Masterwork Cold Iron morningstar saying.."Anyone who needs take this."...as he grasps his hands together. The cool, pale mist that surrounds his body flares up, intensifies between his hands as a blade of pure cold, and he swings at the fairy...
Kinetic Blade(SU):(form; burn:1; damage as blast). You can use this form infusion once as part of an attack action, a charge action, or a full-attack action in order to make melee attacks with your kinetic blade. Since it’s part of another action (and isn’t an action itself), using this wild talent doesn’t provoke any additional attacks of opportunity. The kinetic blade deals your kinetic blast damage on each hit (applying any modifiers to your kinetic blast’s damage as normal, but not your Strength modifier). The blade disappears at the end of your turn. The weapon deals the same damage type that your kinetic blast deals, and it interacts with Armor Class and spell resistance as normal for a blast of its type.)

"Heal her. She walk out on her own maybe," the tiefling says. "I keep tis one busy." She interposes herself to protect Rilia and the downed woman and strikes at the little red terror.

Does Rilia have enough strength to pick up a woman wearing chain shirt armor one handed?
Well two little fairy people were able to fly with her, but like I mentioned above, this only happens if she looks to be in the 50 pound range. I'll expand that to up to 70 lbs.
Another magic missile at the Red Fairy dmg:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4I'm glad my wand has 50 charges, though now I'm wondering for as long as these fights take if I will ever run out. Edit: That's it magic missiles, strike the top half of the body, not the bottom half.
Sorry about the loss of flank, but I'm going all out to finish this and I thought Rillia could use the weapon.

Glorne grasps his hands together once more. The cool, pale mist that surrounds his body flares up, intensifies between his hands as a blade of pure cold, and he swings at the fairy...

"Scoot over," Vornsk tells the kineticist. Then she moves to the grippli and touches him with the Hellcat Gauntlet. A smoky ash pores from the implement, covering Hopfrey's form. It continues to fill the air, growing around him and mirroring his form completely. As the smoke fades, Hopfrey form doesn't and he turns into larger version of himself.
A catlike tail twitches, putting a wand into her hand.
5 ft. step, activating size alteration to enlarge Hopfrey (1 mental focus), drawing a wand.
On second thought, Rilia decides to let the woman lie and cracks away with her whip.
Vornsk's mask is full of magic tricks, and she reveals another one: The power to make her froggie grow. I assume size alteration is enlarge person, so Hopfrey grows from small to medium size. If you meant something else, Vornsk, can you tell me which book it appears in?
Hopfrey feels like it's time for a solid blow! That hits nothing but air.

Scoot over, Vornsk says. V can provide flanking for H if one or the other of you slides over. When I get back to spring attack, you can ready an action for the flank (not needed roght now.)
Vornsk rattles the wand as if checking an empty jar for any remaining nuts. As the magic spills out, she applies it to the downed woman.
UMD:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16, CLW:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
EDIT I need to recheck the thread, we haven't tried waking her yet I hope.
Glorne takes a 5' step away from his Cold Iron Morningstar, and grasps his hands together. The cool, pale mist that surrounds his body flares up, intensifies between his hands as a blade of pure cold, and he swings at the fairy...
melee Touch vs. Purple:1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 10 Miss Chance(20%), High is Good:1d100 ⇒ 69 possible Cold damage vs. Purple:3d6 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5, 4) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 20
...then the blade dissipates.
"Rilia, come get my morningstar and put it to good use."
Don't worry guys, I'll kill them before they kill us as he fires another magic missile at red dmg:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4Do we have any fights after this?
Vornsk again tries to wake the kidnapped woman with the healing spell stored in her wand.
We could roll three rounds at once (if strategies will not change).
What would I have to do to discover if there is any counter to the miss chance? Does the pinpoint aspect of scent help? Or maybe know if it has a time limit?
Vornsk's wand activates, and the woman rouses awake, still wounded. She coughs. "Who are you... Is Mairisse alright?" She takes a defensive position before standing up.

The Mask of the Jade Neu bends a little at the mouth. All her trainimg and tricks are the opposite of bright light.
The tiefling moves opposite Glorne, her catlike tail stowing the wand. She prepares to strike with the cold iron Hellcat Gauntlet but waits until the magical blade distracts the fairy.
I am not sure if his hydro blade counts for flanking, but if it does V will ready each round to use it (included).
Glorne grasps his hands together. The cool, pale mist that surrounds his body flares up, intensifies between his hands as a blade of pure cold, and he swings at the fairy, then the blade dissipates.
Glorne will attack Purple until it's dead, then move to attack Red. I re-posted the information on the Kinetic Blade power on Discussion Tab.

Round 13
The party promptly piles on the pugnacious red remnant. Rilia and Vornsk bop it, and Jelly's magic missile finishes it off.
Combat Over, woo!
Vornsk took 9 damage and 1 non lethal. Hopfrey took 8 damage and 1 non lethal. Jelly took 3 damage and 1 non lethal. Glorne took 3 damage.
The woman looks at the fallen fairies with a look of shame. "I tried to warn them. They turned to a dark god and aim to please her above all else. Even if that means sacrificing their old friends." She unconsciously feels her tattered cloak, wincing as she feels the holes.
”Thank you all for rescuing me. My name is Cybelle. Mairisse and I patrol the Mushfens. About a week ago, a great evil approached these lands and poisoned us, robbing our abilities.”
She looks at some of you and smiles. ”I see. Luyvire still lives, then? Are you here to help cleanse the area? I will help however I can, but-” Her arm twitches and she grunts. ”I cannot help you directly. I must return to Mairisse. Please, take this. I did not have time to use it before they attacked me.”
She hands you a satchel containing two small pouches. Each pouch is a use of dust of emulation. Also inside the satchel is a potion of fly, a ring of protection +1, a scroll that contains animal messenger, lesser restoration, and resist energy, and a wand of cure moderate wounds(CL 5th, 5 charges).
Any questions for her? Any healing you wish to perform?

With both hands she brings the club down again and again and again upon the pint-sized fairy grunting under the strain of each swing. Then after she is sure it is dead dead dead, Rilia straightens adjusts the strap on her dress and blows the hair out of her eyes.

Rilia observes from the side while folks talk.
sense motive:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
She evaluates her fellows and calling upon the sensual hedonistic power of her goddess traces a finger over her exposed and tattooed midriff and channels that power.
@Rilla: read your character sheet. You have the +2 to Identify magic items that an Elf receive, but I didn't see the +2 to beat Spell Resistance that Elves also receive. Just trying to help.
Vornsk offers her wand to Hopfrey & Gelly as well. "Make you feel better. Better if Rilla use it too."
Assuming Rilla using the wands, but I will roll UMD if that assumption is too much. :) 4 more charges from the wand, 5 if the failed attempt uses a charge.
Not one for conversations, Vornsk asks questions none-the-less (in her stilted common.)
"Why do te fairies carry you? Why not leave you for deat? Where tey take you?" "What poison steals your power? What power?" "What god is tis dark power?"
UMD for a wand does not burn a charge unless it works. Only problem when it fails is a Natural "1" causes the wand to stop working for That user for 24 hours. You can always pass it to someone else if that happens. I know because I have a 10L pre-unchained summoner that uses UMD quite often (his current is +19).
Opps...I guess I should have posted this on discussion. Sorry boss.
Cybelle responds. "I'm not sure why they brought me here. Maybe you intercepted them. There is a malevolent force which permeated this forest, a week ago. The fairies worshipped the sunlight, but now they worship the darkness. Mairisse and I tried to convince them to calm down, but..." Cybelle pauses and feels her wounds."They subdued me. And tore my cloak to shreds. It is the source of many powers. I will return to Marisse to recover. If you can cut off the source of this evil, maybe we can save the other fairies. Thank you for saving my life."
Cybelle wishes you goodbye as you continue following the illuminated path through a burrow.
A layer of dense fog covers the landscape like a pale shroud. Distant howls of anguish and the discordant sound of bells rattling in the wind inexplicably echo in the distance. Ambiguous shapes begin to form but then dissipate back into the mists as quickly as they appeared. With each step, the loamy odor of wet earth and oakmoss wafts up, mingling with the sharp scent of ozone and a faint aroma of flowers. A damp chill hangs in the air.
You find yourself surrounded by thick, impenetrable fog. You can only see about 5 feet ahead, even with darkvision. Even the celestial werewolves cannot see the trail. Your worst fears manifest in front of you as the fog twists and turns into familiar and frightening shapes.
From the misty void, a raspy, disembodied voice cuts through the din. “Beautiful,” it whispers slowly. “Delicious. All these lovely fears you’ve brought for me. Let me see them. Let me peer deep into your soul and free them from their cage, where you’ve tried to lock them up so tightly.”
You feel compelled to speak of your greatest fears:
What is your fear-your real fear? The one you harbor at your very core.
What happened that caused the fear? Or have you forgotten?
When does your fear assault you? Does it haunt your dreams at night? Does it lurk in quiet moments?
You must answer, but you can be honest, evasive or false. Give a response and then tell me which option you chose.
