Standard action legacy weapon. Extraplanar fire Outsider bane, frost enchantment, keen
Move action to get into melee

The Azer's hammer glowed, the runes turning blue, as wisps of frost drifted upwards. He took to the air, joining the front line at the doorway. Should the Salamanders persist in their aggression, he was equipped to put an end to the fight.

"Search while I bind. Dhearic can then heal before he bleeds out." The Azer intoned, already getting too work.

Sorry about that. In the future if I make a mistake like that, please feel free to roll for me

22 damage taken. Sadly, I doubt that a 20 is going to confirm

The Azur flinched as the scythe cut into him. It didn't truly get through his armor, and for that he was thankful. But it was coated in something, and that was worrisome. His first attack was wild, designed more to create space than anything else. The follow up swings? They were much more precise in their application.

Thank you! He has been moved on the map

Abit confused. We are using the rooftop map? I don't see any enemies on the map, so not sure how to use the move action.

I've lost 3 posts so far trying to post here. But it seems that the outage is over

Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Fire the Azer thought. Why did this thing believe that fire would stop anything native to this Plane of existence? It was an idle thought, as his hammer came down with perfect precision. The runes on his hammer flashed briefly as the blow landed, evidence of the power channeled within.

Aimaimon took a step, flying over towards the heads that were stacked in the corner, and with a swing of his hammer scattered them so as to reveal the source of the chanting.

Spellcraft to know what spell is going to go off: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39

The Azur nodded, not wasting any words. Rather, he lifted Malgrim to carry him first, trusting the hobgoblin to have the strength to defend himself while he returned for the salamander.

”No.” Aimaimon intoned. ”It is unknown in its desires. And we have not the resources to pay it. I would advise we push on past this room, and continue use our search.”

"Jhavhul." The Azer said, his voice filled with scorn. "I know it far too well. For sixty six years I was enslaved to him. A common situation, here, is that my kin and I, when captured by efreeti and the like, are enslaved for a period of time. Usually decades, sometimes centuries. I fulfilled the terms, and when the time was finished, Jhavhul informed me that he would not allow my release until I could forge a tool to cut through the puzzle that was Kakishon. His oath breaking is why I have joined you in the quest for freedom. Should we come across the noble, or his court, then we must not trust any of their words or promises." Looking at his companions he said "Neither Jhavhul, nor any of his kind, made this prison."

Can't fail the DC

It was rare that Aimaimon showed signs of emotion, and when it occurred it tended to be muted. A look of anger came to his face as he looked around.

"This is the personal apartment of the oath-breaker Kharvul. First prince of the House of alBazan." He explained what the tapestries meant, his voice as neutral as ever, though the look on his face conveyed his feelings.

Assisting on perception

Amaimon reached out, attempting to remove the magic that barred them...

Dispel Magic: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
If it fails, spell craft to determine whether it is possible to get in with dispel magic: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 34
Second Attempt at dispel magic if needed, and only if he determines that an attempt could work: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Depositing his companions on the ledge, the Azur looked up at the dragon. The question in his mind...did he know whether or not the dragon would be hostile to their presence? And even if not, did it watch for its own sake, or for another?

K Local: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (3) + 22 = 25

Northeast it is

"I shall carry us." Aimaimon said. "If we need to flee, then you're powers will be required then." With that said, he reached out to take hold of Malgrim, who stood next to him. "Let us be off."

…maybe…

”There are rooms that we could not explore due to the spectre’s presence. However, for the sake of expediency it would be advantageous to look from the outside to see if there any entrances or exits that I can fly us to. Even a viewing platform could be used, as the architects might not have expected it to be used to gain entrance.”

Detect magic and spellcraft: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40

With near unlimited patience, the Azer approach the pavilion. He carefully inspected the area, looking for magical signatures or even residue, and methodically investigated for the source and nature of the arcane energy.

My apologies! I could have sworn that I had posted, and was waiting to see what happened

"He is gone." Aimaimon said. "And it would appear that this time it is for good. We are fortunate that this ended as it did. This is one less threat in our way."

Fear: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 So fortunate!

Fortunately, the supernatural fear that filled the room failed to grasp the Azer’s mind. With methodical efficiency he attacked the ghost, his hammer rising and falling with a single minded purpose.

Standard Action Legacy weapon: Undead Bane, Ghost Touch, +1
Swift Action Mind Barrier (Sp) As a swift action, you can expend 1 point of mental focus to create a shield of mental energy around you that protects you from harm. The shield prevents a total of 2 points of damage per occultist level you possess. It lasts until the start of your next turn or until exhausted. 26 temp HP to avoid being cursed

Aimaimon strode forth, the runes on his hammer glowing. He took up position in front of his comrades, ready to intercept the ghost’s inevitable charge.

The Azer sighed. ”There is wisdom in your words. Let us put it to rest.”

Aimaimon joined him. ”It is good that the spirit fled. We gain naught by fighting it.” With hammer in hand he joined his comrades in pushing the door open.

"Let us do so." The azer agreed. He was in no rush to track down and murder an animal that had fled, not when they had already left a trail of corpses in their wake that the denizens of this place would surely find.

”It would be pointless to pursue.” The Azer said. ”I know not where it has gone, and the giants are already alerted to our presence.” If he was upset or unnerved by this, it did not show. ”Now that we are joined by such a formidable cleric, I believe it would be best to put the spirit of the dwarf to rest. This way we might remove a threat that we face.”

Turning his attention to the hound that was foolish enough to not immediately flee, Aimaimon brought his hammer down squarely upon its head.

One giant left. The Azer, now hale and hearty once more, continued his assault upon it, lest the foe recover its wits and repeat the damage it had done upon him before.

Yellow

Have fun!

There was a reason weight categories existed in sports. Sadly, this was a fight to the death, and by their nature such competitions were not fair. Purely by the power of his craftsmanship, the Azer remained standing. He lashed out with as much offensive power as he could, knowing full well that he could not survive much more.

1 more use of abjuration to have 13 temp HP. Brings me down to 4/9 uses

His head ringing from the blow, Amaimon attempted to continue fighting. But his efforts were impaired by his sudden loss of balance. It would come down to whether muscle memory and sheer willpower would guide his hand.

Weathering the storm that was the oversized weapons of the giants, Aimaimon stepped in to attack. The cramped nature of the combat was useful for the group, as the giants lacked the space needed to properly swing their weapons. The Azer had no such issue. Coming in below their guards, he was a whirlwind of destruction, his hammer breaking bones and bruising muscle wherever it landed.

Blessing of fervor for this round will give +2 AC and the like. Standard action for legacy weapon. Giant Bane and +2 Enchantment

"Most fortuitous. With this deed, we could put the spirit to rest. Then-" The Azer stopped, as he saw the giants coming in. With a sigh he activated the runes on his hammer, causing them to glow. "That is less than ideal."

"We shall do so." Aimaimon said. "And if the ghost decides to wait at the entrance for us to leave, I can carry us by air to another level."

"I would prefer not to fight the ghost again." Aimaimon said.

Given Aimaimon's strength, can he lift the others and fly them down, so as to avoid the ghost dwarf?

My apologies! A copy and paste error for quickness.

Overland Flight/13 hours (not extended)
* 1 use of lvl 5 spell slot

Greater Magic Weapon/13 hours (not extended)
* 1 use of lvl 3 spell slot

Freedom of Movement: 130 minutes (extended to 260 minutes. Ticking off 3 uses of the spell slot and the extend rod for 13 hours, the same as the other long lasting spells. Keeping things easy!
* 3 uses of lvl 4 spell slot and all 3 uses of extend rod

In essence, with the two rods...I have all of the above up and running for 13 hour coverage. Should make tracking said buffs easy

”The curse upon me is a burden I would shrug off. Resting here would be appreciated.”

Aimaimon, still cursed and fairly badly injured at that, stoically walked alongside Malgrim. He was just content knowing that they were efficiently moving forward.

Aimaimon took a moment to consider, before saying ”We can secure the area first.”

Activating overland flight, for the long duration fly speed

3 race points for outsider includes dark vision :)

We could just have the cleric cohort be our level and push on. :)

That’s too bad. I’m sorry to see him go.

How shall we continue?

Good catch! Yes, fixed that typo

Salamander Entry

What stands out to me...no dump stats. Con and Wis are the highest stats.

* Outsider Native: 3 race points
* Fire Immunity: 4 race points
* Cold vulnerability: -2 race points
* Flexible: +2 Con, +2 Wis: 2 race points
* Slow Speed: -1 race point
- Could replace slow speed with this ability from Salamander Bloodline: Serpent’s Tail (Su) Your speed is reduced by 10 feet (to a minimum of 5 feet), and you can’t be tripped. Your footwear melds into your body and is nonfunctional unless it provides a constant bonus and does not need to be activated. You also gain a tail slap natural attack that deals 1d8 points of damage (1d6 if you are Small) + your Strength modifier.
* Craftsman: 1 race point

9 points right there, depending on how the speed his handled.

Maybe throw in: Heat (Ex) A salamander generates so much heat that its mere touch deals an additional 1d6 points of fire damage. A salamander’s metallic weapons also conduct this heat.

Not a very big deal for a lower level cleric. In a campaign like this, +1d6 fire damage will almost never matter anyways, but it is very thematic.

All in all...it would feel like a Salamander. Without anything jumping out as being really broken for a cohort.

Leveled up to 13.

Main thing from this...

Loci Sentry (Sp) As a standard action, you can expend 1 point of mental focus to set a ward about an area. This area has a maximum radius of 10 feet + 5 feet per occultist level you possess. Whenever a creature enters the area, a sentry manifested by your psyche appears and strikes out at the intruder. The affected creature must succeed at a Will save or be dazed for 1 round. You are immediately aware of the sentry’s activation. The sentry lasts for up to 1 hour per occultist level you possess, or until triggered. When you set the sentry, you can set any number of specific creatures to be immune to the sentry and thus avoid triggering it.

Using that whenever we rest, to avoid being interrupted.

Also, every day using this:

Transmutation (overland flight) - lasts 13 hours, gives 30ft fly speed and +6 fly skill

Nice to have fly speed always on.

The Azer nodded, solemnly. "I would ask a boon." He said, his voice serious. "I have been cursed by the specter that haunts this fortress, thus that much of my wounds cannot heal. Might you channel enough divine power to break this curse?"
