Zero's Q14: The Swordlord's Challenge (Inactive)

Game Master Super Zero

"I's had many adventures but I's like making things buuuuurrrrnnnn." Lokoloko's beady red eyes seem to twinkle as he extends the word out...

"What the heck are you?" Thisnabel asks; this last question is directed more specifically at one field agent in particular.

Unconcerned with the assessment of his performance, and furthermore with what our cosmic hero considers the needless tasks - for indeed, protection and companionship are humble pillars best expressed through collective action over individual competition - the Awakened Prime of Celestia gladly enjoys the opportunity to continuously tentatively ignored, until one such "competitor" singles him out in approach to engage directly.

He puzzles the question. What am I? A question he has asked himself time and again, but ultimately decided that the Why is the more important question. For indeed, it is a measure of one's actions that the summation of one's deeds may be appropriately judged, and it has never been with praise nor prejudice that one incarnation over another could take on proportional meaning divorced from the application of one's will to the conditions of the universe.

But, the young agent's question was a matter of anatomy. And so, in his way of showing over explaining, he grabs Thisnabel's hand, and touches it to the orb in his chest "This is my Central Galaxy - what you might call a Heart in service to function. It is how I See, Feel, Will." as if to punctuate the sentiment, one starfish adorning the shelled armor of his naked body wriggles a single tentacle.

Supposing such an explanation to suffice!

Calvyn rips off his blindfold and throws it to the ground. He sulks through their discussion of how the Pathfinders did.

"I am Sir Calvyn Sunglass, Guardian of the Bandu Hill, and Flame-Tender for Lubaiko, the Spark in the Dust," he says irritably, when asked to introduce himself. "And I suppose the most interesting thing I've seen while with Society were the Towers of Aroden along the western coast of the Island of Kortos that I helped catalogue as a trainee." He can't quite think of what he'd like to do in the future. His pride is stung and at the moment, he's not sure the Society is for him.

Normally I'd answer with something from an adventure the character played in, but the only chronicle Calvyn has is a GM credit from an AP, and I don't think its reasonable that Calvyn helped beat back an army at such low level

After the wink, I presume Dura is hanging around Ami a lot?

Not my first, no. Ami replies. I helped defend a bunch of bridge building goblins from a pride of predatory lions and put out fires with my water powers. As for my favorite types of adventures, well, I'd have to say wet ones. I used to be a deep sea diver.

I am Tavin Sunward. The name is a bit of a misnomer, as I am from the caverns of the far Northern island of Mordant Spire.

I have had a number of interesting adventures with the Pathfinder Society, ranging from various missions around the city of Absalom to hikes through the wilderness.

"I have been a lot of missions, usually supporting them in healing. The most memorable for me is training the hobgoblins that are newly recruited by the Society. Hardy people but willing to learn, I should say." Raphaeleos is proud of his role and his experience from his most recent successful mission.

Dura doesn't push it, but she certainly seems interested in sitting near Ami if she's agreeable. "Oh yeah, wet lions. Just hate those."

Halran and Rhenei show a lot of interest in the Pathfinders' missions, and ask for more details. Though Lokoloko gets a wide berth.

Thisnabel looks entirely confused, a little grossed out, and completely enraptured.

Eventually the break comes to an end. About an hour after the beginning of the feast, Orlaelia stands and claps her hands once to get everyone's attention. Smiling at the success of the exercises so far, she says, "Now that the food has had a chance to settle, and everyone has had a chance to rest and relax a bit, we should move to your final challenge." She looks to Marcos.

The Master of Blades nods, and he takes over what is obviously a rehearsed speech. "Aldoir students, Pathfinders, both of you have demonstrated skill and creativity, but there's no test like a real fight. And so, that's what the last challenge will be."

Orlaelia then again takes the lead. "Of course, a combat where you had to hold back would hardly be a fair assessment, so as I noted before we've had a special ritual cast over the combat arena. Fight to your heart's content, for none of the damage or injuries suffered therein can be lasting or lethal. Your test will be a fight, one group against the other. Defeat only comes when all of your team are unable to unwilling to continue. Show us what we've taught you!" Her students are surprised, and their nerves show through briefly before they quickly compose themselves. Noticing this, Orlaelia adds, "I know you were expecting single combat duels, but if you only ever fight the same fight, you'll never grow."

Both instructors smile and lead everyone to the sparring hall, clearly enjoying the pageantry. Marcos and Orlaelia remain in front of the door once everyone has entered and show each group to the starting positions.

"Pathfinders to the left!" says Marcos, indicating the north end of the arena, "Line up along the wall there. We'll start at opposite ends of the arena."

"And that leaves students to the right," says Orlaelia, indicating the southern wall. Dura and Halran take the middle, flanked by Thisnabel and Rhenei. "Go ahead and draw your weapons and get ready."

Ami is agreeable if Dura wants to.

I'll try not to hurt you too much - although you might be soaking wet after this

She too takes the middles of the wall and starts to power up.

Mercury Power .... MAKE UP!

May the best team win.

I'll bite. Which room is the arena? I am assuming bottom right but am not sure. I have placed my token there.

Lokoloko grins in anticipation of setting things on fire...

It is the bottom right, but I've also added a larger map with just that room.

After everyone takes up their starting positions Orlaelia gives the signal for the duel to start.

Tavin (46/46)
Halran
Lokoloko (42/42)

Ami (47/47)
Calvyn (32/32)

Dura is the quickest to react. "You said you're a healer?" she asks as she heads directly for Raphaeleos. She strikes at him with her dueling sword, a probing thrust, testing his defenses. Which hold. But there's something in her attack--or perhaps simply in her tactical choice of rushing towards a line of foes by herself--that shows she's more familiar with formal duels than with open battle.
* Stride, * Stride, * Strike Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Thisnabel is as quick off the mark, but keeps her feet planted and seems to be hesitating. Or perhaps she's just preparing and waiting for her enemies to come to her.

I assume we have weapons out?

Raphaeleos just smiles at Dura's attempt to attack him. "I know you can do better than that." he assures the orc. He then bonks her with his staff.
Staff Attack vs Dura: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 B damage

He then sends Guidance to Calvin before he raises his Shield.

↺

Reluctance seizes our celestial hero, the feigning of reaction to true danger unnatural to him, unable to grasp the cultural weight placed upon a "friendly combat" - indeed - two concepts which somehow now find themselves mingling impossibly.

He glances at Thisnabel, and the central galaxy at his core twinkles with new light, expanding suddenly in a miniature big boom, swelling to twice it's ordinary diameter, and in turn, every branch, clump of seaweed, and starfish that constitutes the Awakened Prime of Celestia's body dilates correspondingly, massive trunks and hulking mollusks filling the space around him - he grows to large size! - the purple luminescence of arcane magic surrounding him entering now those bits topical, slime and shell spreading like quickvine to cover the parts of his joints most vulnerable, as well as the central galaxy at his "heart"!

◆◆) Enlarge
◆) Arcane Cascade w/ Inexorable Iron (+2 temp HPs)

Both Raphaeleos and Tavin manage to hit Dura, but she shrugs off the glancing blows. She looks almost disappointed.

"I see what you mean," Halran says to Tavin as he comes up behind him. His first attack is a lucky shot that just sneaks past his shield. The second doesn't manage it.

Lokoloko moves up and hurls a vial of red liquid at Rhenei.

Moderate Alchemist Fire, 30' range: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 for Fire Damage, Burn It!: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (3, 7) + 1 = 11 plus Persistent Fire: 2 = 2 plus Splash Damage (Fire): 2 = 2 Critical Hit: Double Damage

"BBBBBBUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRNNNNNN!!!" he cackles, beady red eyes glittering.

He turns and hurls a vial of blue liquid at Halran next.

Moderate Bottled Lightning, 30' range, MAP: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15for Electricity Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8 plus Electricity Splash Damage: 2 = 2 Target Flat-footed on hit; Critical Hit: Double Damage

◆ Stride
◆ Strike vs Rhenei (Quick Bomber)
◆ Whiff vs Halran

First attack hits. Second misses, but still deals splash damage to Halran and Tavin.

Lokolok's fire bomb hits Rhenei directly. Halran manages to cut the flask out of the air, but the electrified liquid still splatters him.

"If this were a duel I'd use my sword," Rhenei mutters, wincing, "but if I'm fighting fire..." Their free hand starts working spells. The burning liquid in their fur suddenly seems a lot less bothersome, and they hurl a burst of conjured water back towards their attacker.
** cast resist energy, * cast elemental toss Spell Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 for bludgeoning damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Halran (-2)
Lokoloko (34/42)
Rhenei (-13, resist fire, 2 persistent fire)
Ami (47/47)
Calvyn (32/32)

Ami keeps an eye on Lokoloko, ready to put any fires out that he starts. Already her element has formed around her, consisting of a mist of water vapour that dampens everything around her.

She takes a step to get a better line of fire.
She then tosses an elemental blast at Rhenei
water blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Since we know that combat will start, would I have my reaction so I could lower the damage against Tavin? If so, I'd reduce the damage by 6 and, Tavin, you could take a free Step
Calvyn raises his shield as he sees the skill of Halran at blades. "My good lady, are you trying to attack Raphaeleos or comb his hair?" He quips at her failed attack. He then swings his scimitar.

Diplomacy to Bon Mot vs Dura Will DC: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

◆Bon Mot

↺ Liberating Step for Tavin, if we start with reactions

Certainly! Since Tavin is currently flanking and not flanked I'm going to assume he doesn't Step and hope I don't have to retcon too much.
Successful Bon Mot, failed attacks.

"Oh sure darling," Dura retorts as she dances away from Calvyn's attack, "Just let me give you a trim!" She thrusts her sword instead at Calvyn as she threatens him and this time hits her mark. Tavin takes advantage of the moment to punish her, which really throws off her next attempt.
* Demoralize Calvyn Intimidation: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17, successful and removes Bon Mot penalty; * Strike Calvyn +1 Striking Aldori Dueling Sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 for piercing damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 5) + 5 = 14, which triggers Tavins Retributive Strike, also a hit, and Calvyn's Shield Block if he wants to; * Strike Calvyn +1 Striking Aldori dueling sword (MAP): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Thisnabel moves up to Tavin, jumping on him as he's distracted by Dura.
* Stride, * Strike Tavin Aldori dueling sword (flanking): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 for piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 and precision damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4, * Aldori Parry

Presumably Calvyn either protects himself with Shield Block or Tavin with Liberating Step, both of which were triggered.

Awakened Prime of Celestia, Raphaeleos, and Tavin's turns.

Initiative:
Dura (-8)
Thisnabel (Parrying)
Awakened Prime of Celestia (54/54, enlarged)
Raphaeleos (56/56)
Tavin (23/46, shield raised)
Halran (-2)
Lokoloko (34/42)
Rhenei (-13, resist fire 5, 2 persistent fire)
Ami (47/47)
Calvyn (24/32, shield raised, Frightened 1, reactions triggered)

I think Tavin's HP is a little off. I think he took 16 from Halran, less 6 from Calvyn's reaction. This leaves 10. He took 4 from Lokoloko as splash (2 * 2). This totals 14, and 46-14=32.

◆ Strike Dura with dagger
+1 shifting returning dagger(magical, versatile S, thrown 10 ft., agile, finesse): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

◆ Second Strike at Dura with dagger
+1 shifting returning dagger(magical, versatile S, thrown 10 ft., agile, finesse): 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 4 = 9
Damage 1d6+1 P: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

◆ Raise shield taking AC to 23

↺

I forgot I even have shield block. I'll give Tavin Liberating Step again with Thisnabel's attack, which should be doubly effective since its two different types of damage, right? EDIT: no, precision damage is the same type of the base damage

Only two from splash, but you're missing the 11 from Thisnabel's Sneak Attack--though that may be reduced depending on how Calvyn prioritizes his reactions. EDIT: Less 6, again. This time Tavin may want to take the free Step, as well.

Tavin is able to hit Dura again, but it seems like just a scratch.

Awakened Prime and Raphaeleos's turns.

Initiative:
Dura (-11)
Thisnabel (Parrying)
Awakened Prime of Celestia (54/54, enlarged)
Raphaeleos (56/56)
Tavin (29/46, shield raised)
Halran (-2)
Lokoloko (34/42)
Rhenei (-13, resist fire 5, 2 persistent fire)
Ami (47/47)
Calvyn (24/32, shield raised, Frightened 1, reaction used)

I see the disconnect then. With Tavin's shield raised, his AC is 23 and Thisnabel's Sneak Attack missed with a 22.

21 when flanked!

You are correct. I was mistaken

Raphaeleos exclaims words to bless Tavin. Taking his chance, he also heals (triggers AoO) the elf paladin. His curse progresses to Minor Curse.
2-action Heal (1st) w Healer's Blessing: 1d8 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 4 = 13 HP to Tavin

◆ Cast a Spell, Healer's Blessing (verbal)
◆◆ Cast a Spell, Heal (1st) (verbal, somatic)

A lumbering step and Halran is just within smashing range of Awakened Prime of Celestia - he hesitates, unwanting to provoke the feeble-looking human in the even this fictionalized context, before remembering the ward layed to protect any participant who may come to harm, and so, raising his greattrunk, brings it down to clobber him, flaring arcane energy which gravitically thrusts one of the starfish from his body into orbit around his expanded construct body - a lone satellite seeking to intercept violent transmission!

Striking Greatclub (blunt, backswing, shove) w/ Arcane Cascade (+1) w/ Enlarged (+2) vs Halran: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 192d10 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 13

~) Arcane Cascade w/ Inexorable Iron (+2 temp HPs)
◆) Step
◆) Strike
◆) Cast Glass Shield (to AC 21 w/ clumsy w/ shield)
↺) Shield Block (hardness 2, hit points 4)

Dura takes advantage of the momentary distraction of spellcasting. She lands a hit on Raphaeleos, but Tavin responds just as quickly with protective magic and an attack of his own.
↺ Attack of Opportunity +1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 for piercing damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 8) + 5 = 18. Which provokes Tavin's Retributive Strike in turn, which also hits.

Halran narrowly avoids the swinging trunk. "Nice tricks--but too slow!" he taunts.
He steps closer to his massive opponent, but tries to look confident as he strikes with his own weapon. This is clearly outside his experience, or at least his fumbling attacks suggest it is.
◆ Step, ◆ Strike +1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13, ◆ Strike +1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Lokoloko (34/42)
Rhenei (-13, resist fire 5, 2 persistent fire)
Ami (47/47)
Calvyn (24/32, shield raised, Frightened 1, reaction used)

Lokoloko pulls out another vial with Blue liquid and hurls it at Rhenei.

Moderate Bottled Lightning, 30' range: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 for Electricity Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 7) = 15 plus Electricity Splash Damage: 2 = 2 Target Flat-footed on hit; Critical Hit: Double Damage

Moderate Bottled Lightning, 30' range, HP: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

He then takes a chance on trying fire again.

Moderate Alchemist Fire, 30' range, MAP: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 for Fire Damage, Burn It!: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 1 = 5 plus Persistent Fire: 2 = 2 plus Splash Damage (Fire): 2 = 2 Critical Hit: Double Damage

Seeing the vial go flying off elsewhere, he hides behind Awakened Prime.

"Rat man shocked! Yous can hit easier!" he calls to his friends.

◆ Strike (Rhenei is FF until the start of my next turn)
◆ Whiff
◆ Stride

I'd ask who that second attack was targeting, but it doesn't matter; Rhenei's energy resistance spell blocks the splash damage, and against any of the others that's a critical failure.

The electricity crackling over Rhenei certainly slow them down. The ysoki is looking badly hurt, but they quickly heal themself before hurling a glob of something caustic and green back at Lokoloko. The glob forms into the shape of an arrow just as it hits the goblin squarely in the chest. "HA!"
◆ cast heal healing: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10, ◆◆ cast acid arrow spell attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33 for 2xacid damage: 3d8 ⇒ (4, 5, 5) = 14 and 1d6 persistent acid damage.

Ami (47/47)
Calvyn (24/32, shield raised, Frightened 1, reaction used)

Ami tosses another elemental blast, this time at Halran
water blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

before moving around the Awakened Prime to check on Lokoloko.

Lokoloko yells in pain as the acid hits him.

Calvyn's starting to get worried about his relative skill and theirs. He raises his shield, and darts forward while Dura is focused of Raphaeleos. He tries to harrass Halran with the incredibly strange wooden creature bearing down on him.

Scimitar vs Halran Flat-footed: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Oh sorry, I was trying to hit Rhenei again since he's FF. Hoping that the alchemist fire would be over 5 damage

btw -- ouch!

I forgot I was frightened, please lower my attack by 1.

Halran dodges Ami's blast. Pressed from both sides, he only narrowly parries Calvyn's weapon--but he does parry it.
Both misses.

Having Tavin similarly pinned, Dura presses the attack against him--and fumbles badly. Cursing under her breath, she steps to a safer position.
◆ Strike Aldori dueling sword (flanking): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16, ◆ Strike Aldori dueling sword (flanking, MAP): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8, ◆ Step

Thisnabel follows, so that the two of them now surround Calvyn. She doesn't seem quite as skilled as Halran and Dura, but perhaps she's luckier as she manages a pretty nasty poke.
◆ Step, ◆ Strike Aldori dueling sword (flanking): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 for piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 and precision damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 (provoking his Shield Block), ◆ Aldori Parry

Observing the swordplay, Awakened Prime of Celestial keeps his guard up, not wanting to leave an opening in his defenses to the unknown skillset of the human before him.

◆ Raise Shield

Halran avoids the club, and then takes a pretty solid thump on the backswing. "That's the way to do it, Prime!" calls Marcos.

Tavin manages another poke against Dura. She's clearly pretty tough, but all the nicks and scratches are starting to add up.

Calvyn (9/32, pending Shield Block, shield raised)

Raphaeleos holds for an opportune moment.

Halran steps out of his disadvantageous position to press his attack against Prime. At first his sword clatters against Prime's magical shield, nearly slipping from his grip. But then he breathes and thrusts it directly forward, shattering the shield. He's scratched by a fragment of the conjured glass, but mostly avoids the explosion.

Awakened Prime of Celestia watches as Raphaeleos sends a divine wave of healing Lokoloko's way while quickly shifting over to tend to Calvyn's wounds manually.

Heal (2nd rank) @ Lokoloko: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (4, 6) + 16 = 26

He nods to the human, impressed with the quick double recovery the oracle doctor is able to provide.

Thank you for botting, rainzax! Much appreciated.

As Raphaeleos focuses on other things, Dura takes advantage of his distraction to land a vicious jab.
AoO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 for piercing damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 2) + 5 = 14

Lokoloko's turns.

Initiative:
Dura (-23, reaction used)
Thisnabel (Parrying)
Awakened Prime of Celestia (47/54, enlarged, arcane cascade)
Tavin (42/46, shield raised, reaction used)
Halran (-22)
Raphaeleos (30/56, minor curse)
Lokoloko (32/42, 1d6 persistent acid)
Rhenei (-20, 3 2nd-level spells used, 0 focus points, resist fire 5, 2 persistent fire, flat-footed until Lokoloko's turn)
Ami (47/47)
Calvyn (31/32, shield raised)

Lokoloko pulls out a bottle of blue liquid and hurls it at Halran.

Moderate Bottled Lightning, 30' range: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 for Electricity Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 plus Electricity Splash Damage: 2 = 2 Target Flat-footed on hit; Critical Hit: Double Damage

Assuming that hit

He then pulls out a bottle of Red liquid and hurls it at Halran before ducking out of the way.

Moderate Alchemist Fire, 30' range, MAP: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 for Fire Damage, Burn It!: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (8, 4) + 1 = 13 plus Persistent Fire: 2 = 2 plus Splash Damage (Fire): 2 = 2 Critical Hit: Double Damage

Eeek

Moderate Alchemist Fire, 30' range, MAP, HP: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Flat: 1d20 ⇒ 18

◆ Bottled Lightning vs Halran
◆ Moderate Alchemist Fire vs Halran
◆ Stride

"Thanks for yous healing large one!" Lokoloko calls gratefully.

If Halran got hit by the bottled lightning, he's FF until my next turn

Lokoloko also still has persistent damage from Rhenei's acid arrow. Acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 and flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Edit: Oh, was that what you rolled a flat check for? Well, we both rolled a success anyway.

Lokoloko's first bomb is a direct hit, and Halran winces as the crackling electricity seems to dull his reflexes. He still avoids the next attack, though he is (and Prime is) splattered by the burning liquid.
A hit and a miss.

"I prefer water, but..." Rhenei mutters, conjuring a fistful of flame. They hurl the fire in the form of several rays of scorching magic towards Ami, Awakened Prime, and Lokoloko.
*** Cast scorching ray Attack Ami: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24, Attack Prime: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19, and Attack Lokoloko (cover): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30 for fire damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 5) = 20
flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 2
"Rhenei, as your dueling instructor I might hope to see some swordplay from you," calls Orlaelia in an encouraging tone, "but group tactics instead of duels was also my choice for combat exercise. Covering skills your allies lack is a very valid move!"
The blasts of fire hit Ami and badly burn Lokoloko, but the massive form of Awakened Prime of Celestia is clearly insufficiently massive.

Ami and Calvyn's turns.

Initiative:
Dura (-23, reaction used)
Thisnabel (Parrying)
Awakened Prime of Celestia (43/54, enlarged, arcane cascade)
Tavin (42/46, shield raised, reaction used)
Halran (-29, flat-footed until Lokoloko's turn)
Raphaeleos (30/56, minor curse)
Lokoloko (7/42)
Rhenei (-20, 4 2nd-level spells used, 0 focus points, resist fire 5, 2 persistent fire)
Ami (27/47)
Calvyn (31/32, shield raised)

Ami spends her first action doing Ocean Balm on herself
healing: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Her next two actions is doing the same on Lokoloko
healing: 1d8 ⇒ 4
healing: 1d8 ⇒ 4

I prefer water too she yells back - clearly annoyed.
