Alexander Divyr Incostas's page

Thanks you so very much for running this scenario Larry!

Alexander shows nothing but his deepest respect for Zarta.

"You must avenge yourself and your family. You owe all of Cheliax to see the ruin of House Thrune... perhaps your rule will be more just and advantageous to the common folk of the realm."

Alexander bows before Zarta.

"Lady, if you would undertake the destruction of House Thrune... I will loyally serve you with every breath of my body... even in death I would ask to be returned to serve you from beyond the grave... this is my oath."

Yummmy... FEET TEA!

While Alexander is tempted by the offer both spiritually and temporally, he refuses.

"I am honored that you would ask such a request from a mere mortal such as myself... I fear that my loyalty to the Dark Lord must remain intact as it were for the remainder of my existence- but Rowane, know this, if I can ever be of assistance to you or the Queen of Dis, without otherwise violating my sworn oaths...you will have my aid."

As they are walking to the gates of Dis Alexander turns to Alden, "Rowane's offer was tempting...was it not? Too bad really, I kind of liked the Norn and would work for her in the future, but if the Queen of Dis believes that she can unseat the Dark Lord... well that is something that would NEVER happen."

As they get ready to return back to material plane Alexander turns to Nella and smiles...

"You are an interesting woman Nella... I am sure we will be meeting again...sooner than later."

"Time to go... but I will be back, even if it is for a romantic interlude!"

Alexander chuckles.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 16 - 2 = 20

Realizing the Devil has used magic to deal with Obtrivi- Alexander curses...

"Damn it... Prepare to face the WRATH OF THE DARK LORD!"

Alexander drops his puts away his chain-flail and draws his composite bow.

Swift Action- Bane and shoot an arrow (from Invisibility).

Ranged Attack vs. Evil Outsider: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 3 - 2 = 15

that's a miss...

"You can follow myself and the Hellknight."

Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

OOC- how long has it been since we entered this room? Have some spells up that should still be in place.

Alexander deals with the immediate threat... his bleed damage by casting Cure Light Wounds upon himself via his wand.

"May the Lord of Darkness close these wounds as we seek to destroy the enemies of law and order in his infernal realm."

Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Listing to Zarta's comments Alexander offers a bold but dangerous solution.

"I am loath to suggest this... but if time is fleeting, we could split up in order to find the fiend."

Alexander (who is still invisible and had cast resist fire BTW)- moves forward to crush the devil.
Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Alexander takes 5 points of damage.

As he remains invisible, Alexander moves up and studies his target (swift action).

My last post was lost in the void of time and space- so I reposted it as it looked last night.

Time to kill this SOB!

Alexander can't believe his ears...

"Did you say WEAKEN HELL!?!"

Alexander grips his chain-flail as his rage boils over.

"You will NOT attempt to destroy the power of HELL or the domain of our LORD AND SAVIOR ASMODEUS!!!"

Swift Action- BANE and we all should roll for initiative I think at this point.

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Alexander doesn't distract himself with negotiations... he cast protection from fire upon himself as his comrades attempt a parley.

Alexander will use his wand to cure his wounds and well as casting a preparatory spell- in this case invisibility.

"I am going to make myself invisible before we continue onward... don't worry, I will be with you."

Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 15
Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 20

"I have struck the beast! If it is an illusion, it's a pretty solid one!"

Power Attack #1: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 = 26
Power Attack #1: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 - 2 = 22

Damage #1: 1d10 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25
Damage #2: 1d10 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28- both are magic and silver.

"Nella, Cirri- if it is an illusion is it possible to DISPEL it?"

"An Illusion!?!"

Power Attack#1 Silver & Magic: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 = 35
Power Attack#2 Silver & Magic: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 3 - 2 = 21

Damage#1: 1d10 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21
Damage#2: 1d10 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

"If it is an illusion it must have a magical source shouldn't it?"

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 to remember anything he can about illusion-related magic.

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 +2 to determine weaknesses.

*Since Alexander didn't make his knowledge check I will forgo using Bane since it would be meta-gaming it*

Drawing his Chain-Flail (with 10 foot reach) Alexander will move forward and Study Target (Swift Action) before attacking.
Power Attack#1 (Magic & Silver): 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 - 2 = 17
Power Attack#2 (Magic & Silver): 1d20 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 3 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 4 + 1 + 3 - 2 - 2 = 16

"By Asomdeus... I shall not fail!"

Alexander's AC is 25 and his saves are (+1) from Ward of the Faithful.

GM- knowing that Alexander rolled a (1)- I will use my awesome re-roll! +3 GM stars!

Before entering and after Cirri's casting of Bear's Endurance, Alexander will cast Ward of the Faithful upon himself- all worshipers of Asmodeus receive +2 deflection bonus to AC and +2 Resistance bonus on all Saves.

"Embrace the Dark Lord and know his protection... all are welcomed in his hollowed halls."

If anyone wants to covert... they will gain the protection. <evil grin>

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 2 = 19

"I am ready to bring some justice against this creature. Leventi will feel Asmodeus' wrath."

"Don't breath the fumes!"

Perception: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 - 2 = 30

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 = 8 -1 Con (13)

Alexander drinks his vial of antitoxin.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 5 - 2 = 12 -1 Con (12)
Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 5 - 2 = 13 -1 Con (11)
Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 5 - 2 = 24
Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 7 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 5 - 2 = 16 -1 Con (10)
Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 7 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 5 - 2 = 29

Con is 10.

"Hey look over here! GASP!"

Alexander point to the panel and directs his companions to trunk and its contents.

Alexander chuckles then leans over and whispers to Alden (in Infernal), "Oh the horrors we endure in the service of the Dark Lord."

Will Save: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 2 = 21

"TO THE ARCHIVES!"

Out of town... had to update from my phone.

Alexander remains calm and isn't distracted by the macabe features of the room.

knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

"As my companions have stated... Leventi has violated contracts and oaths written in the exacting language of Hell. She must be made to pay... A job that we would be willing to undertake if we were given the authority to do so."

"Praise the Dark Lord."

Although not skilled in languages, Alexander will make an earnest effort to look through the Scroll of Sins (which is absolutely fascinating reading).

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

It doesn't appear that Alexander was very successful in finding any useful information... he's no doubt entertained... but not much more.

1d20 ⇒ 6 BOON ROLL

Alexander takes a few moments to ponder Ophelia's fate. Not wanting to allow an enemy of Zarta and in all likelihood the Dark Archive faction to go free, he muses.

"So it is this otherwise insignificant piece of paper that will determine your fate?"

Alexander turns to his companions... "As for the other two, I would see them go wherever they wish to go. I will abide by whatever choice the rest of you can agree upon."

Alexander's darker side comes to full form...
"No... crimes such as yours do deserve punishment... and I see no greater punishment than oblivion. I vote that we destroy your contract immediately!"

In regards to Alden's recruitment... Alexander will offer them an introduction to the Society if they wish it.

"Yes, Alden is correct. The Society is a great way to do the work of the world and various realms with a modicum of respect and honor. I would agree to make the necessary introductions if you are so inclined."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Wow... both of those rolls were crap! So much for high-drama.

Nope... not with Alexander.

Alexander shouts in his most authoritative voice, "STAND DOWN!"

Direct towards Teena, [b]"This doesn't need to end in the needless shedding of your blood. Stand down or Flee it makes no difference to me, but save your life or continue to attack us and die where you stand."

Intimidate (Teena): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

I am going to assume that this much dialog will take a full round.

* Reroll *

Intimidate (Teena): 1d20 + 15 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 3 = 19

Alexander moves forward and draws his Diabolical Flail (with reach).

"Only fools and charlatans would attack the Dark Lord's Faithful Servant in HELL! You have seen your last day!"

"Are we ready to proceed?"

Looking at Nella, "I agree. I look forward to holding these two accountable for their actions."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

"Greetings..."

In a neutral tone, "I am Alexander Divyr Incostas, Servant of Asmodeus."

Acknowledging Nella and Alden's previous remarks, "My companions have accurately stated our collective position. I am sure you honor Hell's contracts... any less would be... problematic."

An Aspis Agent...maybe would should just drag him out into the street and throttle him to death.

Alexander eyes the Aspis Agent and studies him for a moment- trying to determine his motivations/intentions.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

"Perhaps we can motivate this pile of human filth to leave... in consideration of his own best interests."

Alexander approaches the Aspis Agent, with an authoritative air that only a devotee of Asmodeus in Hell can exude.

"Your presence here offends me. As the living vessel of Asmodeus' WILL here in Hell, I suggest you remove yourself from here before I am forced to make your continued presence here (pointing downward) uncomfortable...or worse."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

Yeah... still pretty good.

"1000 pieces of gold will suffice."

Alexander understands the need to have his actions and intentions to be concealed and hands the 300 gold pieces back to the gnome.

Alexander sizes up the Gnome, "Good Sir, I have two bottles of a rather good Chelaxian wine that I would be willing to sell you... are you interested? The price for both bottles will be 2000 pieces of gold... or something of similar value."

When talking to Zarta-

"Any meeting that you think might aid us in this investigation would certainly be worth taking my Lady."

Removing the 2 bottles of wine (fine) from my inventory.

Yes, pressing on looks like fun.

Alexander nods in agreement as Nella suggests some rest before continuing.

"Perhaps it is best if we each take a necessary rest. Hell can be a very draining place for those unaccustomed to its excesses. I for one look forward to what will undoubtedly be a epic confrontation in just a few hours."

@ Cirri- when you are raised in an Chelaxian orphanage... you don't come out unscathed.

Nella and Larry- Alexander is feeling right at home!

Alexander doesn't flinch at the mention of the unearthly liaison.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

As he smiles wryly at the Night Hag,"I am grateful and understand your beauty and power are frightening to some mortals... to those who have embraced the Dark Lord, it is exhilarating."

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30- what does Alexander know about similar mortal-immortal unions?

Pausing for a moment to gauge Yseldra's reaction(s).

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

(if she is actually interested) "We will get you the money you need, unless of course you would be willing to reduce the price based on our mutual attraction for each other?"

(if not)- "Thank you, we will get you your necessary payment. Will shall be back in a few hours. Will that be acceptable?"

"My companions and I will be having a few laughs in the arena... winning prizes, which should amuse you greatly. Would you care to watch the festivities for yourself?"

Based on whatever happens- Alexander plans on enjoying the spoils or his conquests!

Alexander stands next to Nella, and then takes a short step forward, "Hag mistress, we have a few questions of you."

Diplomacy (Aid): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14.
Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

"I am sure there is very little you do not know about the Pits of Hell, but I assure you this one, or two, pieces of information will be of use to you both now and in the future."

One*

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26

"It is easy to see that your dislike for Leventi is readily apparent. Tell is what you know and I am sure we can deal with him on your behalf. He will trouble you no longer."

"I am Alexander Divyr Incostas... Servant of the Dark Lord, the instrument of HIS divine will. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Alexander gives a slight bow.

"If you are so inclined, we would like to ask you some questions."

Alexander will use his planer knowledge and/or ability to sense the true motivations of creatures to see if he can deduce what this creature might desire.

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

Diplomacy (Gather Information): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

"I am unable to gain any information beyond what Zarta has already told us. I am curious as to what sort of 'Dark Bargain' would be necessary to obtain the goods we need?"

Turning to the imp, "I have two bottles of fine wine with me. Back home they cost me 10 pieces of gold each. What do you think I could get for them here? Perhaps I should offer them to that Gnome that Zarta has struck some sort of deal with?"

Alexander remains unresponsive to Nella and Cirri's jests.

"Yes, I would agree. We should proceed to the Market of Breaths."

Turning to Devin, "You may not serve Hell, but I certainly do. Asmodeus is a powerful ally to have on your side. He will punish this breach of oaths... and set your souls free."

"A job well-done all!"

Alexander's grim expression is momentarily betrayed by the slightest of smiles forming on his face... which last only briefly before he catches himself and re-engages his iron-jawed and emotionless posture.
