This chracter was made for a 3rd party class (puppeteer) that was then adapted to a soulbound summoner (and currently a spiritualst for a one shot). albiet when he was a soulbound it was going to be a echo ofhimself and not a deamon. but for some ideas feel free to peek.
Indeed. Hope ya'll good~ I take a peek when i check my other online play. Since I check all those off the main campaign page for my account.
Same.
No worries on me either. I had some covid to play with again.
Woof. Malik does not have luck with dice!
Shouting out to Lie Sounds like a mess in there. Go if you need, We'll figure this thing out!
vs touch ac
vs touch ac
Will DC16 vs flee as if panic, occurring on every hit (last round of held charges)
I am fine with that~ Default Malik Prefernces:
The larger slots are mainly for "doom rescue" with a force punch attempt or covering a bad situation with the either. Feel free to use his healing hands as appropriate. though I doubt it'll come up in battle much being a full round.
Bruce summoned MoshPit
Shivering a bit from the spider monstrostiy, but deciding its reach was hazardous, Malik pulls the chain whip close and concentrates for a moment before unleashing a series of attacks against the creature, empowered with his spirit.
to hit ; slashing To hit ; slashing to hit ; slashing
edit: next time I'll put damage in a different macro. It is kind of hard to read here
It is agood consideration. Assuming this is the undead could be wrong~
Good to be paranoid rogue!
Malik did detect a fair undead inside. Not that it has to be that thing. but at least did have a detection of some kind.
Malik is settled in for this as well, nodding to the others.
Malik in fact has Open/Close.
WHip or cantrip. bot hare fine. and either way Malik would want to be roughly 10-15 away anyway.
I more or less arbitrarily placed Malik to one side. If no one else is inclined to open the door, Malik will.
If its just a matter of pulling it open? not pushing it open?
While wielding a whip, you threaten the area of your natural reach plus 5 feet. You can also use a whip to grasp an unattended Small or Tiny object within your whip’s reach and pull that object into your square. To do so, you must hit AC 10 with a melee touch attack. Further, you can use the whip to grasp onto an object within your whip’s reach, using 5 feet of your whip as if it were a grappling hook, allowing you to use the rest of your whip to swing on like a rope. As a free action, you can release the object your whip is grasping, but you cannot use the whip to attack while the whip is grasping an object.
As they prpare, Malike takes a moment to center himself. Listning to the whispers from within he answers back. From the cordage around his arm, it seems to extend and bolster his armour from under.
Malik shrugs, "We aren't exactly traveling in secret. Missives were sent, we had a meeting, we aren't even the first. Considering what happened until the point where we became involved. It isn't hard to guess that they have been using counter intellegence." Taking the advice, Malik does a rapid scan around them using Detect Undead. while maintaining his readiness with his bow and awareness.
"Don't ask me for much divination, nor warding them. We simply need to act expecting they know. Either they continue to watch and drain their resources, or we gain advantage of action." he finishes while waiting for the scouting foray's results.
As the halfing scurries off, alone,Malik draws his bow once again and nocks an arrow, "Something seem odd?" he asks mostly everyone at once, and then tries to be prepared.
Taking a moment in stride, the cord he used previously wrapped around his arm seems to fade a moment, the tip twirling into a finer cord, into a thin thread. using his hands to push Matilda's cut together. Holding it steady the thread weaves in on its own accord threading through , yet showing no harm nor cut into the flesh. As it weaves through and pulls taught, the edges sinking into Matilda herself. As the wound seems to fade into her normal skin-leaving only a slight scratch along where the wound was.
I put a pic etc. but I an't seem to generate the token. For now i put a Z in where I would place. Also prior to going in should decide if Bruce or I will heal Matilda.
"Yeah, we need to move forward. Matilda, let me suture you quickly." Malik offers as well, "It will not cost me much power to do so, Its how I practied my ability." Having said as much, he doesn't let Lie get too far before ushering them together.
"Matilda! Malik gives a shout, as a chain unfurls from his arm, darting towards the haunt, glowing briefly. Moments too slow to help deflect the assault on her. to hit.
"Fight or Run? I can calm it... but I can't do that often.."
Perking up at Bruce's commentary concerning dreams,"I slept well enough last night, on the way here though I had some nightmares. Sounded similiar, but I have a history with undead hoardes. It isn't uncommon for me to transpose current with the past setting. We are about to enter a pretty rough situation. Dread is normal."
Malik helps Lie with his armour, "I knew some folks who wore heavy armour like yours. They ultimately ended up slowed down in a hoarde. If we have to run from a wave of undead, be sure not to trip Okay? " Malik will help prepare breakfast, opting for more light food than heavy. But otherwise prepares to go. "I'm good for this now. Sooner done, sooner over."
Completing his loop, Malik returns to the group and lands less gently than he'd prefer. "Landing speed is always difficult. Don't know how birds do it on water....." dusting himself off, even if not terribly dusty, he continues "Seemed pretty peaceful, not much going on, I'm guessing anything is in the mausoleum or otherwise hidden."
Joined on it. though haven't looked. gotta go to work
"I have that ability. Its made for some fun cliff jumping or tower hopping. What I do not have however-is the ability to see perfectly in the night. I do have a handy lantern that lights only for me-but its not the most distance. I can also feel most undead.. but that would be within range of arrows, bolts, magic--and maybe anything with empowered hops." Malik states as the plan is re-brought up again. "Oh, I can also make the flier invisible.I've flown before, not a specialty but I've managed alright." Filing through his gear, pulling a latnern, and looking through for anything else that is useful....
Malik gives a thumbs up, "I'm game. If something goes strange, go near the old man's cabin and I"ll get a ping."
I have failed at Mahjong so I will happily pretend it occurs without detail haha. Detect Undead and or Calm Spirit might be fairly fun to use.
"Huh, that is a handy ability Lie, I might have to research into doing it... a bit out of my purview but compelling for an archivist as myself. Once you've finished with the Wayfinder, might I hold to it? I have connections with the Society, if they are dead within I can at least see it is sent to its next of kin for notification. ...I also wish to sketch it into my notes for the journey." As the Mahjong is set up, "I'll try, I knew a groundskeeper who loved the game. He died before I got the nerve to ask him to teach me. Let me set up the area first however-"
"Do you perhaps remember what archive, or where they hailed from? Did they leave anything on their horses I could go through?" "Well, taking a look seems apt, and we have limited time on scene.'' Malik doesn't enjoy the idea of going in regardless of time. But maybe they can peep some activity from a safe area.
"If you got one, I'd love to see that." ---- As they rejoin and give their report, "Find it odd though the stack of horses and peaceful living. Maybe the 'item' isn't in use, despite the setting. Or simply it is what it is... Shall we go, or do we still prefer to keep two for watch, while we have a chat?" Malik querries the group. Uncertain how they tend to proceed. "Personally, I thnk we should always keep a watch-particularly in enclosed spaces that can be sieged by a wall of undead."
Stretching his shoulder briefly, Malik reaches back and draws forth a rather bow, thick and slightly smaller than himself. Nodding to Yau and Matilda, he steps back a little ways and takes up back guard as the others move forward. Finding himself a crook nearby to await. Either to provide cover fire for scouts, and to watch our (Yau, Matilda, Malik) backs. +1 more if hyilly/rocky area. (guidance factored in already)
Pretty great~
Moving lethargically this morning, Malik settles up his gear and wishes he had time for a warm breakfast instead of a work-meal. Dreams of the old meshing with the realty of the now. Never a great mix. Maybe his subconcious-or his partner-noticed something he overlooked, He'd have to keep that in mind. As the difficult to understand Griswald states the obvious dangers of an unsettled partner Malik waves it around, "Old memories, not the first time I've spent a long period among the less-than-restful dead. It sticks with you. But I'm fine. Hungry for pancakes but I'm fine.
"That is quite a useful spell for traveling and life in general. I should look into potential simliar abilities for my future travels. While fruit and water aren't his typical meals or preferences, no reason to complain for it. Instead he crushes berries into his cantin and sips from it throughout the night. "I'm fine with first shift. I want to set up some simple traps anyway." pulling a thread on his jacket, he begins drawing a considerable amount of yarn. "While your grove is rather protected, I'd still like to be aware." Malik sets about making a small trip wire on the outside of the area, and layers the https://www.aonprd.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Alarm on the outskirts as well.

Blanching and blanking at how easily they afford royalty of another country the means to watch, curse, or otherwise deshevel their souls but he holds it in. Its not his business, albiet he has learned well from his past to not so freely leave remniants of himself. Clasping his hands at the princes' statements prior, and giving a well reasoned bow with full courtesy. "Excellent, parameters of the job are set. Retrieval of the skull is paramount, followed by the status of previous team, as well as removal or capture of the established theives. The latter two only if they do not endanger the former. Thank you kindly." Bruce brings up an interesting point in such case. While the trip in theory should afford them 4 days of total travel and three days to work. This is an unusual situation and may warrant an extension of some kind. Internally shrugging however at the fact that they don't intend to send forth a rescue in the case of a week, simply more bodies, or perhaps a small army.
That is a neat spell!
I have a two-followup question. The criteria is for retrieval of the skull. Are you intending to encapsulate the ehrm handling of the thieves and presumably the unquiet dead into this? Or is the singular focus on retrieval and egress? With a small flourish to cover his nerves he continues I'd prefer the singular goal of retrieval. If you want more might i suggest a light bounty system on signifant undead or the ring leaders? Incentive if an opportunity arises but secures the skull priority. Clasping his hands together, attempting to take on a more solemn tone unaware of their relationships with the lost crew, "Is there any distinctive traits, tattoos, armour, weapons, tomes, or other specific things about the missing crew to watch out for? In effect.. identifiers if they're lost, or if someone is attempting to fake being them.--WHich is likely what I would do if I were the enemy.
I don't know the DC of that sense motive check... but I'll be surprised if Malik didn't make it. Wow.
Taking a gander around, but being polite about how much his eyes linger on any given place. Malik follows suite with polite entry, and listens intently.
First version of Malik-when he actually had a phantom (who always was intangible, and just threw intimidation around) used magic trick mage hand! its a lot of fun.
Shortly after the Butler leaves the room, as Yau Lie begins his self introduction. Malik takes one Cigar, and puts two more in his bag with one tinderwig. Instead of cutting the tip he just puts it in his mouth unlit for now. Never having tasted one before, but figure why not claim a few if they're offered so freely. "Howdy you both, I'm Malik. No house associations." he answers the strangly pale one. "Tools of the trade mostly. I'm an archivist working on field acquisitions, so to speak. Although today I'm here just as Malik-Who needs traveling money. Relax is a matter of perception however. " Gesturing at the juggling, " Attention getting means less attention on me, while I can focus my attention. Win Win."
"Mmm, would you have cider?I'd enjoy a cigar. Please do not cut or lite it. I prefer to handle the details myself. Pray tell, please consider recommendations for an inn for post our meeting with the honored host. Thank you sir." Malik takes advantage of the offerred nicesties, while he does not smoke he will not refuse a gift. Noticing the prior arrival, Malik offers greetings, "Howdy. I'm Malik, would you also be here concerning an offer of contracted employment?"
You just need an IV drip of Holy Water first.
"Well, hopefully they're more "hey I heard itsa fun show" and less "evil witch burn her" huh? " Retrieving his letter and waving it briefly before putting it away again, "I'm heading there too, I've got a job offer, the guard pointed the way. Come, we can find the way." WIth such an offer Malik heads back attempting to maintain travel to the castle.
Lie shaves his fangs!
