Ashnah Lialda's page

Ashnah is a little overawed by the valuable spells. While some had little practical use, in her experience versatility was always welcome.

"You honor us with your gift" she responds simply, deciding to transcribe the spells at first opportunity.

Ashnah takes the book reverently, flicking through the pages with a slim hand as she checks its contents. Ashnah loved books, and the knowledge they tended to contain, and was curious how Aravinashal's offer would help.

Ashnah raises her eyebrows before standing and stretching slightly, nodding in agreement. "I wasn't part of said group, so as long as he knows this, and is still comfortable granting a reward, then I'm perfectly happy to receive his thanks>" she mummers

Its such a grind :/

"I'd prefer resting and recharging my resources, if its all the same to you?" Ashnah mutters.

Delaying, still have jack for spells zzzz

Ashnha flips a Magic Missile at one of the demons, poking it slightly with her magic.

Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Ashnah frowns, thinking for a moment before tilting her head slightly in a shrug.

"I'll leave that to you military types, but I'm happy stepping up to lend a hand if it proves to be something tough behind that door."

"I'd not especially religious, but I'd rather clean the shrine now when we can. Rushing through the tower is only going to lead to mistakes, so lets clean it now while we are still breathing, and then progress further," Ashnah offers in the way of her own opinion.

Ashnah nods in agreement, following close behind the others as they explore deeper into the Garrison.

GM, with Legacy of the First World Out, can I switch Ashnah's Eldritch Bloodline to the Shapechanger bloodline, which is far more flavorful and appropriate for the transmutator that she is?

Delaying again, but they should be almost dead now.

Issue goes a little deeper than that, but in principal, thats the basic issue. Its currently a bit of a crawl through this building, so we ideally want to save my AoE spells to better level the fight against something really tough, since I don't have # of casts to use magic in every fight. The tricky thing is that I forgot to select Acid Splash as my cantrip today, and Ashnah doesn't have a crossbow (etc) since she started out as a clothing designer and therefore needed to have one up until now. She will make adjustments as soon as she can but for this particular combat, its a bit of a grind.

I'm still delaying until I fix my spells issue :/

Dont have one, kinda deliberately to start with cos she's a clothes designer. I can get one after this though.

I *think* that we agreed to hold off on spellcasting and conserve resources until really needed. Which means that Ash is probably going to delay until someone suggests she step in and start casting.

Combat strength not being her forte, Ashnah slots into the back of the group, trying to keep herself protected.

Ashnah listens peacefully to the proper burial before turning her attention to the building. "Does anyone see a way inside or perhaps a way to break a lock?" she inquires casually.

Kinda agree with the base plan here but also with Heinrick's points.

Not clearing every room risks a flank which, at our current level, is probably significantly worrying. I would prefer that IF we skip rooms, that we at least clear an escape route (ie clearing rooms in a T fashion) to minimize being flanked.

That said, even though I think clearing every room is risky as hell and a drain of resources, not clearing them, and waiting until later, risks losing xp if (say) they all fled after we destroy the stone. I kinda want to avoid a situation where we "win" by breaking the stone but then "lose" but being underleveled in future. Still, if we level up based on when the AP expects us to, then I dont really mind how we clear rooms.

Also, while I agree with the formation Lavina mentioned, I'd prefer that we space ourselves out if we do so. Bottlenecking is really good, but I want to avoid us getting AOE'd in a corridor.

Also I'm ready to push on into Garrison if everyone else is ready + willing.

I'm in it for the long haul as well, so IDM.

I'm a little worried about the garrison though. Not only does it make things hard if its a straight crawl, but I'm a little concerned about resource management. I don't have second level spells yet and I only have three 1st level spell uses today before I need to rest and regain my spells. I'm a little worried about the strength as to what is inside if we just faced the door guards just now.

I don't mind GM, I forgot to roll it myself after all.

Seeing how effective ranged attacks are, Ashnah follows up with her own attacks.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Just as a heads up GM, waiting to see results of the attacks, before casting a spell, since its taken a ton of damage first, and if its already dead I get to save my magic =]

Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Is that a channel? Do we get a will save for half?

CL: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

If only we were higher level :(

Did my DC 17 Color Spray affect them?

"You can use Cold Iron ones I think" Ashnah offers to Lavinia.

Ashnah waits until everyone has settled on a suitable ambush point, before deliberately ripping part of her clothing, grimacing as she did so. She wasn't at all happy about doing so, but it would probably raise a little bit of suspicion if she was wandering a chaotic city in an untouched outfit.

Ready, she takes hesitant steps, trying to look as anxious as possible, as she eventually notices the two men. She doesn't know how fast such creatures move, but decides on a safe distance, mentally plotting how quickly she could run, with how far away the ambush was.

"Oh Lord Hulrun, you wouldn't happen to know the way to the Garrison would you...I...I don't think I'm in the best shape, and I'm a little lost?" she gushes slightly, attempting to force relief on her face, as she moves one leg awkwardly, trying to give the impression her mobility was slightly restricted.

So, I'll probably shriek and back off when they get closer, and I assume they chase. If they are faster, I can probably run and then turn when they are within 15 feet and drop Color Spray. If I'm faster, I might adjust my movement speed so that I can still turn and fire when the ambush is close.

Ashnah frowns at Heinrick, looking him up and down critically.
"You are very well armed though, with armor in addition to that. Its going to be difficult to make yourself look helpless or an otherwise easy target."

Ashnah lets the sentance hang for a moment, before continuing onwards. "I think its best if I go and lure them forward. I look like a citizen, a fashion designer, heck, I am a fashion designer. An unarmed female on her own is a much better target. I'm not particularly skilled at running, but I can lure them into an ambush, and then turn around and slam them with my magic."

Unless anyone objects, happy to offer myself as a lure. I can drag them back into an ambush and when they are within 15 feet, I can turn around and Color Spray them as we spring an ambush, without having to worry about hitting allies (since I'd be in front). Up to everyone else though.

Planes: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Can I roll knowledge planes to confirm if they are possessed since this is a big jump to make

Alright, I did get the chance to check.

I was in error, and there is no separation. just as Lavinia mentioned.

Does anyone mind if I grab the wand then ??

No problems here.

Ashnah leans over and selects the wand of Magic Missiles with interest. "Oh, I think this should prove useful to me and should allow me to change up my spellcasting options for as long as it has charges left."

"I'm Ashnah", the slender half elf remarks softly, appraising the newcomers with interest, lingering lightly on the arrows strapped to the back of one, and the thick armor plate of the other.

"It will be interesting, all of us working together during this trying time, but we all seem...very capable I would think, to handle anything that attempts to cross our path."

I don't mind either way.

I'm here, just didn't feel the need to make a two word 'I agree" post. I thought we would fast forward to the Templars and let them know, rather than spend a week on it x_x

Not at all

We don't have disable device, or trap finding which makes it hard to check. Ashnah doesn't even have decent perception!

Ashnah steps into the corridor, and casts Detect Magic to check for any magical aura.

For future reference Allen, Darkness ( spell level 2) beats any light spell equal to or lower than its level, so it trumps my ( spell level 0) light cantrip. Dispelling it, would (probably), require Dispel Magic ( spelllevel 3). It means that probably, I'll need to be character level 6 before I can really counter Darkness shenanigans. Thank god Iolana found it, GM does this mean I can see?

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Err, can I actually hit someone in pitch black darkness with Magic Missile? If not, I'd probably be very reluctant to go down into the darkness where I'm pretty much useless.

Aghhh, somehow this dropped from my campaign listing.

"Yes, well observed", Ashnah acidly responds to Allen's words, not really understanding what he was referring to and interpreting his statement as one of simply stating the obvious. Not really one for charging head first into the fray, she hangs back behind everyone.

Pretty sure our paladin can coup him now.

No idea about what the map looks like so.

"Boring" Ashnah trills slightly, as she moves a few steps forward and attempts to nail both combatants with a Color Spray (DC 19 if I hit both, DC 17 if just one).

"No questions here, we can check it out", Ashnah offers before rolling her eyes as Allen wordlessly knocks over a chess piece. "I guess that means its our first target to go search then."

Just be aware guys, that while I'd like to contribute to pushing this forward, Ashnah is a recent addition - so she doesn't know the locations that we might be searching. Just tell me more about the safehouses - or suggest one and I can post accordingly, assuming we are waiting on me.

I'm thinking I'd want to have my spell recharged if possible if thats ok with everyone, but thats the only delay I can forsee.

1,000 gp total, which, divided by 4, equals 250 gp for each. IIRC there are two more safehouses left, which means there is an extra 500 gp on the table if we clear those out as well.

Ashnah pockets the money before frowning slightly at the cleric rushing out and spending it. Truth be told, she didn't like making many purchases with any money she might have received.

I assume we are waiting for Heinrick to make his purchases before we look into a new safehouse?I might need to regain my spells though.

Ashnah fires again with her third flurry of Magic Missiles

Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

After this, I'm pretty much almost out of spells.
