Aralu Darkstone's page

Thanks for dming. I had lots fun. Give us a call if you if your workload goes down enough for a new game.

Aralu still has her crossbow ready, should an enemy present itself.

Aralu moves towards the corner, readying her Crossbow to shoot any enemies appearing once the door is opened.

Still here

Aralu casts guidance on herself

"rotting a hole into flesh sounds like a necromantic effect or a really nasty disease or poison. Could also be a time based effect."

Aralu takes a closer look at the hole in the spider.

Sorry for your loss :(

Happy new year

Aralu smiles slightly"I have been thinking about it. It won't be long till I have the power to raise my own minions, I can feel my powers growing each day. Insects are difficult to raise and most of them loose many of their interesting abilities. Most humanoids also loose much of their usefulness upon death, with some cloaks and masks they could be useful in more civilised surroundings. A bestial frame has many advantages especially until I can get access to more powerful magic, but even then there are some designs for creatures I want to try." by the time she finishes talking, her smile has grown into a big one.

Happy holidays

Let's see what our dm says, but I think I will take this revelation, now I just need to find a feat ;)

What range did you use? Close?

Would that mean I get a human? Skeleton, or what kind of skeleton do I get, because skeleton is a template not a creature. And would the additional hit dice increase stuff like bab and saves?

I want to use the "raise the dead revelation, how does it work? Can I simply pick a creature and apply the template? And what range does it have?

"probably not, unless the maker of this trap had an interesting sense of humour. " replies Aralu with a hint of a smirk

"how do you estimate your chances of success? Unless you deem failure to be highly unlikely going with Zurk's suggestion would be the best course of action. "

Good luck

"or the handle triggers the trap"

Aralu nods " let's finish exploring this level first. About the spider, could anyone beside me and Zurka hurt it on mist form? Just in case there are more of them"

cast?

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Aralu readies her crossbow to shoot the spider if it leaves the room.

hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

rest in piece Bob

Aralu orders her remaining skeleton to finish of the sleeping spider 5foot step down + coup-de-grace(the spiders are medium?)

damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12

The deadtouched girl herself takes aim with her crossbow and lets a bolt fly at the leftmost spider blue and reloads

damage: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

The unimpeded skeleton claws at the closest spider while the other one tries to free himself from the webbing.

hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

strength: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Aralu orders her minions to attack the spiders (move towards spiders if in range else ready on approach)

She herself moves closer to the spider room readying her crossbow to shoot any spider leaving the room.

Aralu casts detect magic to try to determine the school of the magic.

26 ;)

Aralu rummages in her pack, curses from time to time and finally draws a torch.

Aralu orders her minions to stomp the spiders once they stop being on fire.

Aralu followeth the others into the spire, after collecting her minions

does knowledge local/history (Azlanti Historian) reveal sorting useful concerning the stones?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"ug, slavery is so inefficient. Let's hope they do their fighting while we are elsewhere.

I will be abroad for about two months, I think I will be able to post, but bot me as necessary

Aralu orders her minions to burry themselves in shallow graves at the wayside "no one will notice two more shallow gravesend at the wayside or at least pay them no attention."

Once they are finished she orders them to wait motionless till they receive a new order.

"I'm Aralu Darkstone, you can call me Aralu."

"they have proven to be surprisingly useful for simple skeletons. I plan on keeping them around for as long as they last. Do you know the hellknight's policy concerning the undead? Or they can do the classic and hide underground.

Aralu reloads her crosbow, holding it ready should the creature atempt to flee, while her minions slightly change their positions and continue their attack, trying to rip the ethercap to pieces with their bare claws.

attack(claw,bob): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
attack(claw,bob): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

attack(crit?): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

attack(claw,red): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
attack(claw,red): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

he should be shaken for 1 round, unless he has some kind of immunity

what happened to my cause fear?

Aralu mutters some strage, bonechilling words in a language not ment to be spoken by humans and points at the ethercap cast cause fear(dc15)

After she is finisched she orders red skull to move in a flanking position.

Bob continues his attack
attack(bob,claw): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
attack(bob,claw): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

After thecreat ure has shown itself, Aralu moves to have a free line of sight for a shoot with her lighting bolt. afterwards she orders bob to charge and red skull to stand before her, in case the creature decided that it would prefer a squishier target.

attack(crossbow): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

attack(bob,claw): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Aralu creates and shoots one of her lighting bolts patent pending ;)

The deadtouched girl continues by ordering her minions to alarm her of and point at, any bipedal creature( beside the ones present) that enters there vision range.

"an exploding death curse, I have never seen one in action, is it the fiery or the guts and bone fragment kind?"

Aralu orders her minions to come closer, positioning bob between her and the tiefling to have a splash guard, in case his reasons are found wanting by Katara. Placing red skull between herself and where the he came from.
sense motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
She is a bit disappointed that there seems to be no death curse to see in action.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"I control them as long as I live or till I set them free"

Aralu orders her minions to patrol around the camp.

I'm actually not sure if they revert to normal behaviour or follow the last order in case of their master's death

raise dead doesn't work on creature killed by death effects, the same is true for reincarnation(didn't look it up

Aralu listens, with some difficulty, to Mary's prayer.

The deadtouched girl whispers, as for a short moment, her hair and clothing are moved by what seems to be a gust of wind only existing for her.

same as Mary ;)

Aralu dismisses her eagles with a gesture and takes a closer look at Baldrek's body. And sighs "it's as I feared, that spell makes am resurrection infeasible, even if he had taken precautions to one prepared."

She turns to the others
"Did he mentioned how he wants to be buried? Or at least what divine being he worshipped?

but a tennis racket leaves much more interesting marks ;)

Aralu summons another eagle and readys her crossbow to shoot gorloth, sould he try to escapereadyd action on move

Her army attacks
eagle1
beak: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

makes sense, for a bigger eagle I would argue for a piercing /slashing beak. And I need to make a fly check or he will fall on Gorloth... hmm I could drop a pony on him

fly dc15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
