Alana Kelsh's page

This is the Alana Kelsh from the older game, she will be the same, I will just update her stats if accepted into the game.

I think at this point we will all need a nudge when this campaign is ready to continue. Look forward to playing with whomever returns when the game is ready.

Bowing out. Thanks for the battles. Clearing my table and didn't want you guys wondering if I was going to pop back in if or when this one starts back up.

Have a good one C, we will miss you in the upcoming battles!

Meh, I do not mix guns with my fantasy...When I want guns I turn to Shadowrun.

I'm not familiar with Shadowrun, (Had to google it) looks very interesting. The only systems i've played for any extent were D20. I'll keep an eye out for games that may need a little help.

Edit:
So would a 1940's pulp adventure sort of thing interest you?

It is all good, I am pretty limited in what I participate in cause I end up rolling deep into systems I get started in. Therefore, I start less systems....

PF1, would love to get back into a Shadowrun game, and the D6 Star Wars version...

...and I do not get accepted to many, but there was a bit of time there where I was studying for a certification when some good game recruitment was happening and my half assed submissions were not good enough...

It is the modified one, I am surprised at how much I had to relearn, even though it has been years since I played.

My games keep shutting down...

Not to be pushy, but I look at this everyday for when it starts back up, is there an ETA for when to start checking again?

I am still here...

I assume if there is magic on the door we will try and dispel?

Yes, but it consumes resources other than the spell and changes my spell load out when we go past the door...

Elathras would take enlarge if that's possible...

Easy Peasy, now, I think we are all set, just need the results of the magic detection so I know my starting resources...

Haste is in the cards, does anyone want an enlarge person? Maybe Marthek?

Ready to enter? Who is opening the doors?

We are also pending the results of Detect Magic on the doors to determine if casting a Dispel Magic is necessary.

So, assuming we make it to the room just prior to the hall leading to the ornate door before the temple and before we start casting any more buffs in the room, Alana wants to cast a detect magic down the hall to see if the door is still enchanted, and if it is make a Spellcraft check to see what it might be.

Ickrak'Ey Arcaniss!"

and if needed:

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Agreed, here is hoping we have no issues heading to the setup room.

Alana were you doing enlarge on elathras?

Yes, both you and Marthek (with DM approval)

If no one else wants Enlarge Person, I can through Protection #6 on myself so his list can stay as is. I recommend the cure spell over Aid...Aid got a big nerf in 3.5/PF compared to what it did for a 1E/2E character.

"ok I get 5 protection from evil that should cover the entire party. Who wants the bear endurance and who wants the bull strength? Any other spells that I should pray for that you all recommend?

After you decide on your offensive spells, let the rest be cures and restores; maybe a Bless and a Prayer, just remember to let loose on the prayer after we go in so the bad guys are affected too.

I intend to cast Enlarge Person on Marthek (with DM approval) and Elathras and can get up to 2 more PCs if they ask for it. As we reach the hall before the door leading into the star shaped room, I want to cast Detect Magic on the ornately decorated door to see if it has any magical traps. If it does, I will also be casting a Haste with 1 Reservoir point for Potent Magic to increase my caster level to 9 (giving 9 rounds of effect) on the party the round before we enter the hallway before the door, so I can then use 1 reservoir point to Quick Study Haste into Dispel Magic and then cast it on the door with the intent of getting any magic trap or runes on the door also using 1 Reservoir point to increase caster level with Potent Magic. If not, I will instead go Haste as above and move with the party down the hall casting Mirror Image with 1 reservoir point for increased caster level in the same round. Finally, I will prepare my PC with Armored Mask immediately following Spell preparation at the beginning of the day (cost 1 Reservoir point).

Total resources used:
1 2d level spell to fuel my reservoir
1 reservoir point for armored mask
2 first level spells enlarge person in prep room (amend if needed for more)
1 3d level spell and 1 reservoir point for haste in prep room
option: if the door radiates magic, 1 reservoir point for quick study and a second plus 3d level spell for dispel magic; if door is not, then 1 reservoir point and 2d level spell for mirror image

4 reservoir points, 2 1st, 1 2d, and 2 3d level spells for option 1
3 reservoir points, 2 1st, 2 2d, and 1 3d level spell for option 2

I am updating my signature line for each step as we reach or exceed it since we might have a random encounter or something.

Once we reach the spell prep room, Alana will arm herself with her rod of metamagic (selection) and require a move action to recall her heavy flail from her Handy Haversack.

One haste should get all of us next to you should it not? It's one creature per caster level.

Good catch Cuthalian! So the question is if we want to use a round of haste so I can change spells to dispel or not

tracking an enlarge for Elathras and possibly one for Marthek

E, you want Bulls Strength or Bears Endurance?

Alright, who is getting what?

I got up to 4 Haste, but each one takes away a fireball, or I can change one of the two to a dispel for the door which will take a total of two rounds (one for the change itself and another to cast the spell and put my book away, but you guys will be able to act on round 2)

I can also do up to 6 Enlarge Person or Protection From Evil

Haste is rounds, I max out at 9 exactly, but the other ones are in minutes, so they will get cast first

"We can make sure about the caves first, but Max is going to want us to feed him..."

"Give yourself the Shield of Faith as I an do the same. We should all use a Protection from Evil, I can assist there as well. Our front liners can decide between Bear's Endurance and Bull's Strength as they will be using it. I can also provide Enlarge person and Haste, although I can only use Haste and Fireball a total of 4 times before it is depleted.
I think our priority is defeated the greater evil of the demon before we destroy the remaining priests. Does anyone know anything about their particular kind, like its weaknesses? Other useful tidbits in the inventory, I have an Immovable Rod, Potion of Invisibility, and a Scroll with Antimagic Field, Wall of Stone, and Rage, though I am loath to use the scroll unless it is exceptionally dire. Thoughts?"

If allowed, [dice=K. Planes] 1d20+16

Hmmm, sound maybe?

My bad, I was distracted when I typed out the post this morning and left an incomplete thought, the idea for the knowledge check was in case she could recall any details from our previous encounter with the demon, especially if she could recall any weaknesses or vulnerabilities for us to exploit.

So, is that everything then? Is it time to sack up and make another pass at the temple?

"Another doorway? I am unsure we are ready to attempt another run at the temple."

We switched places, I just left NC to come here...now I am closer to disney than I ever wanted to be...

At one time I was 45 minutes south of the border, north...never again

Yup, I was dropping a post just to show I was still monitoring

"Let us know when to follow..."

I got fed up with crappy cold weather, tis why I moved to Florida...

While it has been a long week for me at work, I check every night for the next update at least

Woohoo! Now what have these ogres been guarding, hmmm?"

Alana turns to Thoron as he approaches, "It makes them so happy to have the upper hand, I am going to just watch them take care of these guys."

Alana will delay in case she is needed. No action for round 2.

Nuts, I thought I was after even the ogres...my bad

I am actually jet last, I got skipped on the last round which is why it looked like I went out of order. I was originally going to drop a fireball, but had an epiphany by the time everyone went and used a different spell instead. I will likely pass this round and let the melee folks chop up the ogres while they are blind, but it always depends on the most up to date actions when we get there...

"Make quick work of them boys, they are not going to be blinded forever."

Sorry, I had a long weekend of study and neglected to check this game

The ogres are blinded if they fail the save and dazzled if they passed it. In either case, it lasts: rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 2

He can also delete his cache as i have heard that may be required as well. I did not have to do either as my computer rebooted itself (gee thanks microsuck) on its own which accomplished both tasks.

Woohoo, lets get at it!

Alana was skipped, she was waiting for Marthek to take his turn

Once Marthek moved into the room, Alana followed closely on his heals and discovered the scene and instantly dropped a Burst of Radiance spell on top of the Ogres:

"Virednith Di Mitne!"

Reflex save DC 18 or Blinded, Dazzled if pass

If Evil: 5d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 3, 4) = 12 regardless of save result

Just waiting for Marthek's movement so I can drop a safe Fireball...

"Big dopey looking brutes you say, well, try not to ruin my FIREBALL!"

Alana tries to warn her companions of incoming artillery fire at danger close...

"The bigger they are..."

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Any preference for spell selections before we get there? I saw Silvash post, but that is the only one so far...

"As we prepare for our journey tomorrow, which of the following abilities do we think would be more useful: Dispel Magic, Fly, or Haste. Invisibility, Glitter Dust, or Create Pit. Enlarge Person or Protection from Evil. I shall take your preferences into consideration before preparing the spells for the next day."

Disregard my statement in discussion about low on abilities since we will be resting and regaining them.

Sorry for the silence this week, my computer rebooted and we had a near miss with a storm. It always takes me forever to get reacquainted with all the sites I interact with when I have to sign back into them all and catch up. Anyway, back in the dungeon...

I think a purple worm may be beyond us in the same way the temple is. Ditto for the blob thingy. That is my only concern. Otherwise, I am open to any path we travel. Have we recovered the mirror from the cave of illusions yet? That is also on level 3 if we have not gotten it yet (someone metagamed that it was quite valuable...). Are there any ups or downs we passed along the way we have not yet partaken in yet?

Of note, above ground stuff is all hit or miss. Either we will be good to take it on or it will eat our lunch (and designed to be that way). The countryside is crawling with bandits, that is no secret...

Taking stock of my abilities, I got one good fight (or a couple of small ones) left in me before they begin to really thin out...I am considering using up a spell slot just to get more reservoir points too. Our path forward will determine if I do that.

"I am not a fan of encountering a giant worm. If it somehow swallows one of us whole, that is one less to assist the others and that creates a chain reaction."
no issues with going over level three before returning to four, just as long as we stay away from any purple worms....I do not think they will improve our situation...
"Once we are down on level four, it may be in our interest to find a good place to prepare ourselves before our return to the temple."
i.e. rest and remember spells specifically to take on the temple

"Sounds good...Where to next?"

I will never understand the need for people (and I am married to one) to watch news shows all day long expecting something different, when you can still go about your life and check once or twice for those same updates, if any. it legitimately baffles me, but hey, I am also the guy that will not stand in line to get something from the store if I can just come back later and get it without the wait (often cheaper too).

"Oh good lord, I certainly hope we do not encounter more of those anytime soon."
