Thanks for the update on the thread!!
I have heard nothing but wonderful comments about the works that you have completed. In fact, I am currently adventuring with Dr. Virgil Halifax. My friend Odytoboman strongly suggested I submit my Elf Ranger, Faunalandria, so here she is... Faunalandria (Female Elf, 5’11, 115#)
GAH!!!!! So I'm playing a Life Oracle and I looked to the APG errata for information on the bonus spell for 16th level. I may not be the greatest at figuring out RPG rules, but how can I get a bonus 9th level spell when I can't cast them for another 2 levels? I have looked through the 8th level spells available and no, there really are no good 'life' related spells other than "Mass Cure Critical" but couldn't you technically create one? "Greater Breath of Life" could allow for a period of time longer than 1 round between the PC's death and the casting of the spell maybe. Since the original spell is level 5 than a 3 level difference seems only natural. Any comments?

I'm playing a Dhampir Sorceress in Carrion Crown. My best advice is to have at least one level in divine casting to gain Inflict Light Wounds or invest in a few wands. With the potential for damage, you are basically your only healer. I also went with the Sanguine/Undead archetype which allows for a d6 of healing by drinking the blood of the recently deceased (We had to off a few deer in the beginning lol).
That slimy bastard just had to do it, didn't he?!? Took my damned head off in the final battle just micro seconds before he was finally bested!! At least the clerics could bring me back to bask in the glory of our triumph. But Rendul as the new ruler of the area? I guess it's a step to the better.....
I lost my closest friend to a dragon today. My grief was such that my first thoughts were not of revenge but of resurrection. I may not be quite my self anymore, but the memories of all the Hazard and I have been through will always be embedded in my subconscious.
Rendul's death by whip was a blessing in disguise... at least for Rendul. I know Hazard has his regrets for doing what he could not control, but the body of a halfling did not suit our companion. He is much happier to have his Elven traits back. As for my self, it will take some time getting used to my new appearance. I have been informed that my eyes have become a light shade of green. I can not wait to see how it goes with my new hair.
Rendul is becoming quite powerful as our adventure continues. I almost don't need my blades any more. And Unanus really seems to enjoy creating minions from our enemies. I do appreciate the ride, though. OH, and I'd really like to know how a tree could move faster than a bolt of lightning (that is a most prodigious feat by the way, Hazard). At least I can still help by healing. Maybe it is all just a sign from my God that I have been too violent as of late.

Foppish??? Love it!! lol Oh, and if you can keep Unanus from getting any crazier with his actions, I'll do your laundry for a month! (just don't tell him I said that lol)
I try to rest and all I see are eyes; thousands of eye staring at me, paralyzing me. This list battle will take some time to forget. I pray that this doesn't add to Hazard's nightmares as well. The bounty we received for our troubles was more than worth it, though.
So Hazard and I go underground to bury our companions... only to see them again in a different room, fighting by our sides again, but not quite like themselves. It was quite unnerving. Enter Unanas and Rendul. They are posing as our lost allies until the tournament is over. Round two and I almost died. Unanas saved me somehow. I'm not sure how I feel about his being able to completely drain another being's life force with one thought, but I lived and we won so I'll worry about it at another time Back in the underground, I remember having a "chat" with a cleric of Kyuss. The next thing I know I'm with Unanas at eh Temple of Vecna (sp?) being told that I was dead, but now I'm just broke. Glad I saved!
... *cough*Helmofoppositealignment**cough... Nexus, would you like me to talk to Leopold about fixing you an elixir for that cough? But seriously... why can't I just be me? First I get body napped by a doppleganger, then when I get the chance to fight again I get stunned, now I find out I was dominated by some giant marble brain?!? I pray my companions accept my apologies for attacking them. I think I'll go shopping with one of the guys rather than alone. I don't want to take any chances.
Is it too much to ask for a nice relaxing time at the spa? I settle into the chair for a facial when all of a sudden a strange aroma strikes my olfactory senses. Next thing I know I wake up tied to some damned post. To make matters worse, I feel violated, not physically but mentally; as though someone was swimming through my memories. Nexus and Hazard came to my rescue, and Leopold's as well. I can't believe they thought that malevolent doppleganger was me. Yes well, I'm free and she's dead so....
The spa was invigorating, but upon arriving at the inn I discovered that one of our crew was taken to the prison. Maybe leaving him there over night gave him ample time to think about his actions. I do think it's funny that the guards "misplaced" him, though. I got the chance to try out a new spell during the ensuing search. I thought the blades encircling my body were quite impressive. Stupid mimics... did they really think they would prevail?
With the Croc out of the way (and his skeletal remains adopted as our mode of transportation)we were able to finally reach the Lizardfolk's encampment. After a brief encounter with some kobold's, however, I have entered into a state of mourning. Due to a hasty judgement on my part, one of our lizardfolk guides was killed. I pray that his family can forgive me. We did, however, save the clan's latest clutch of eggs from being perverted by the worms inhabiting the faux black dragon egg.
I don't recall if I had mentioned it earlier, but I HATE spiders. I still feel itchy just thinking about the bunch that we came across in the swamp, and I'm still finding bits of web in my hair. I pray that the soldiers at Blackwall Keep can rest easier now knowing that their Commander is finally at peace. I tried to help my friends, but this insurmountable wave of fear hit me like a raging ogre. May he rest well with his God. I shouldn't dwell on that, however, seeing as there is a gigantic crocodile trying to dine on my companions. Nexus somehow got him rooted to the ground so I think we should be able to finish him off.
Vitali left after getting some "urgent" message. Whatever. Got Dourstone busted before going though. That was fun. Found some guy named Leopold while accompanying Allustan to Blackwall Keep. Maybe he'll stay with us in Vitali's absence. He seems like he can hold his own quite well, but I'm sure he was glad for our assistance when we found him taking on a bunch of goblins and orcs alone. The battle at the Keep was somewhat explosive. This was Nexus' doing. He is becoming quite the adept wizard. I just hope it doesn't go to his head. I have known way too many conceited wizards in my time. We tracked down a group of lizard folk who had taken some hostages from the Keep. They are resting with their God now. I hope we can get the hostages back to the Keep safely.

How quickly we can forget our wounds when they heal so soon. If one or two in our team loses focus, we all lose. I've put my life on the line, and my trust in my companions. It'd be regrettable to lose any of it. Amen, Hazard
Nexus and Vitali need to chill out. They bicker more than an old married couple. Not liking this part of the mine so far. First I slip off a cliff side and fall 45'... hurt like all hell! (sorry, Hazard, for dragging you with me) Then I get attacked by some stupid strangler thing and end up passing out. They told me I could have died. I am NOT a happy camper.....
I am starting to worry about my companion, Hazard. He does not appear to be sleeping well. It seems that nightmares are invading his mind. He tosses and turns in his bedding as if fighting some invisible foe. At least we are finally getting some rest after battling the cultists in this horrid mine. They are most definitely plentiful as well as intent upon their actions. I feel that there are things that Smenk hasn't told us about his dealing with them. Maybe Nexus will find something useful in the spell books that we recovered. |
