Despite your generous offer of further work contract 22357-9, I humbly decline attending this iteration of the Ruby Phoenix Tournament. I have found partial retirement to be more my speed. I may be able to forward your request of needed agents, but make no official promises. Please feel free to respond to the Abdalom Branch Bank of Abadar, desk 22357 for more details.
Uguu, after reviewing my characters, I realized I'm lacking in the Good department. I know Toshi will be either NG or CG, so i right put that on him...
Amira takes no particular joy in any glory of Runelord-slaying (exceptionally so since she was unconscious for a majority of the damage.) She offers to go partway on reviving their only casualty, but otherwise returns to merely tending to her office in the Bank of Absalom.
Toshi, however, rides his year of accolades and is accepted into the Society (if only on a provisionary basis.)
Funny thing is that since I've prepped this before, I knew what it was ooc. Just wanted to see if Mr. Sloth could cast without what is probably his bonded item (the answer is an empatic "yes and go ahead and fail this fort save.")
19 or 20?:1d20 - 9 ⇒ (19) - 9 = 10
Amira... stabilizes. Wow. That's good, since -10, is death and IH is a 1-round cast.
Amira, seeing nobody hurt, decides that maybe Abadar will bless her with a chance of a lifetime. She flies up and casts Pilfering Hand Abadar's Sanctioned Reposession at Krune and his awesome-looking spear!
Combat Maneuver using CL and Wis:1d20 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 3 = 32
Amira has Overland Flight and Travel Domain Speed Bonus, but there is NO way that she's going ahead. This Battle Aspegerilililimumum only has the word "Battle" in it for show. Placement is fine for me. Given an oppotunity, Amira would use Dimensional Steps to deliver Erin unto flanks, if possible and we're kind of just wrapping around movements. But first...
Amira casts dispel Magic at the Slow affecting Erin, if it's more than a round. Else, the double-move to keep in not-front-row is a-OK.
CLW for Marduk (no sanctuary):1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Not Dispel Magic at Erin:3d8 + 11 ⇒ (8, 4, 7) + 11 = 30
Round 3: ensure Channeler's Water Sprinkle Mace Beatstick has holy water.
Round 4: Provide Toshi that his "Completion of Internship" paperwork, informing him that takes effect upon death or completion of the mission.
Round 5: Get 30 feet away from the farthest forward individual.
Amira awaits the last round of Greater Invis wearing off from her ring, containing the ready, though she does move up a corner (northwest) to keep the Daxter in range.
Reread versatile channler; it doesn't use two channels, just is 2d6 less than a standard channel. Channels are still a big resource, so I'll leave that decision to the group.
Does the rune count as a person for Hold Person purposes? Also, I can channel Negative energy too, but it's a pretty poor amount of channel for the opportunity cost...
Amira points out the auras, "Mr. Bateman is more skilled in practical application of magics. If he's not sure, I'm probably not going to know as well."
spellcraft @ aura 1:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 spellcraft @ aura 2:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12+2 to any that are based on the writing.
If it's not a Knowledge, I'm not even getting close to a +22 bonus (even with my +2 Well-Read.) Spellcraft is +7
Oh, neat; Spell-like ARE subject to SR and Dispel. It's just that they can't counterspell with them (or can't be counterspelled.) Dispel @ her SLA:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Amira notices the more damaging effect is something she can't fix faster than a 3-round spell, so she'll ready a Dispel Magic in case it does something like a spell (though not actually Spell-like, since I don't think they can affect SLAs.)
... Amira casts Freedom of Movement on herself and flies up 15 feet, to exit Lightning Bolt/Trample Formation #1.
Yeah, unfortunately, I was up there too (or we got elevation confused, though it maths out properly as long as either standard is applied on both sides.
"Given my knowledge of how Krune's tower was protected from divination, I'd suppose we are running on a void of information. So, yes."
Amira will share her Rod of Quicken (lesser) and the veil (Empower Rod lesser For Evocation Only That Goes On Your Face) with the first to ask for them. The Rod of Extend Lesser, she will hold onto. Going through with Overland Flight pre-cast.
Using Master of Trade to apply a 10% discount on a Metamagic Rod of Quicken (lesser). 35000 - 3500 = 3150033396 - 31500 = 1896 I have 1896 left after that, and as much as I'd love to actually come full-circle and buy a Cloak of Displacement like Amira had in her "Before Time Module" build, I think this will get more use. I think I'm just going to get the rest in diamond dust for restorations and the like.
Amira, now actually armed with a weapon on her belt beyond a dagger (a Aspergillum, to be exact) waits in the room for others. Toshi follows behind, as he has since the start of his tenure.
Amira gestures towards the ninja, "I do believe you have Marisa and I confused; I have very little proficiency with offensive magics. But thank you for the praise, regardless."
She struggles and turns to the mobile party, "First, I don't drink, and second, we have yet to actually deliver the scrolls; our job is only half-done. I suggest we meet with Amara Li in Goka, as she is the Society's representative for the entire nation and is the closest completion point, since I can freely travel between there and Absalom." She tries to free herself from the flying wizard's grasp, "Once you're there, I'm sure you all will be able to find something to do; its the most versatile city in Tian Xia, and far kinder than Katapesh or Kaer Maga."
perception:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19Call me a Dwarven gunslinger, because I'm botching up all my rolls this game.
"I assure you on both my life and faith, that these will be returned." Amira waves Toshi over in lieu of her normal yelling summons to be provided parchment and ink. She writes up a simple contract (in Tien, since Tongues doesn't work that well on paper) that she will see the annals returned, and should they go missing while under the care of the Pathfinder Society, that she will find them to the best of her ability.
Amira bows to the naga, "I understand your desire to continue the traditions of your people, though I feel I must request that you reconsider your no-trade policy." She looks to the ashen remains of the tax collector. "There are many that attempt to claw to the top at any cost and such ploys have no honor or good intent behind them. I feel as though your city could flourish were you to open your holdings to the outside world. Perhaps you would reconsider, coming from one with no real personal gain to be had? Perhaps you could start with us?"
"Sometimes a gift horse is just a plague carrier from a secret enemy. If the village has issues with each of their moral values, then I cannot expect something from one naga and not the other."
Amira will look over the given papers, should the opportunity not prove offensive.
Just in case Linguistics (It's about writing!):1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 17 + 2 = 30
Amira takes note of the cloud issue and casts Fly on Desmond (barring any odd complaint or objection.)
Not hitting Sahrek (as fun as Valkyrie Desmond would be) since wolves likely aren't familiar with flying. Des has a hasted fly speed of 90, for reference.
Was counting damage on people, then realized I may as well just channel given Desmond's double-state.
Amira jingles her Battle Asparagus Aspergerillum Mace and positive energy first flows through it and then into the injured (can select 3 out, so we're good on not healing Bads.) Channel #5 1/3 holy waters used:10d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 2, 6, 3, 4, 3, 6, 4) = 41 She steps south to prevent Desmond-flanking!
