Asmodan Galadon's page

...and the party face is a drunk oracle who 'forgot' where he left his animal companion and is more interested in having a bar brawl than in politics... in a RP heavy scenario.

That end combat was the best.

Kepli cranes his neck to look the bartender in the eye.

"That is a very ... generous offer to make to a new recruit, sir, and I greatly appreciate the offer. I suspect, however, that even serving as your 'helper' might require someone with more experience with field work than I have. I would at least need to clear my participation with my Venture Captain."

While his head is tilted back to look at the big man, the halfling's hat falls off. It is caught in a slight draft, and blows under a nearby table. Kepli sighs and stalks over to retrieve it.

The charismatic Aasimar shrugs with a smirk, looks at the drinks in his hands, then downs them both and ventures back behind the book shelves, from where the sound of more bartending emerges.

I guess I can't go relying on recruits like in the old days... This job will turn me into a drunk, I shwear...

A tall, broad-chinned man with long golden hair and polished mithral armor approaches from behind a bookshelf, grinning.

"Sit down. Would you like a drink? I could use an eh... helper on my next mission to Mother Varisia. It involves lots of drinking under the full moon, I can promise you that. That, and we need to get someone's dirty laundry back to base here. You in?"

Profession: Bartender: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (14) + 26 = 40

You could get him a Swarmbane clasp, you won't regret it.

EDIT: On a side note, this spell has saved my life, my tiger's life and subsequently my party's life multiple times. A confused kitty is a bad kitty.

Wow! Thanks!

I've already played Weapon in the Rift, alas. Enjoy!

As for boons; I'd like the ancestral weapon training boon. Do I have to use the boon on this character or can I keep it for something else?

This Arcanist archetype: Brown-Fur Transmuter

Allows you to cast transmutation spells that have a range of 'personal' on others as a touch spell. This is not only great for stuff like Beast Shape, but also turns this spell:

Paragon Surge

Into a spell that you could cast on allies (if you're a half-elf).

My question is this: nowhere in the description of paragon surge does it say that the receiver of the spell needs to be a half-elf, am I correct? Can I go around tossing this on everyone?

Also, general ideas on abusing this archetype are welcome.

Asmodan casts Bestow Curse and then proceeds to walk over to the succubus to deliver the charge:

Attack(Touch): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
CL check vs SR: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

For bestow curse: (DC19 will)(Each turn, the target has a 50% chance to act normally; otherwise, it takes no action.)

While Heroine will full-attack the Alu-demon:

Attack(Bite): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Attack(Claw): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Attack(Claw): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Damage(Bite): 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Damage(Claw): 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Damage(Claw): 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Grab(Bite): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
Grab(Claw): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
Grab(Claw): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

"Will someone check out to see if the servant is unharmed? For all we know he might get dragged into the Abyss together with these... Tien Women..."

cool, thanks!

What do the symbols and numbers above mean?

AoO(Bite): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Damage(Bite): 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Grab(Bite): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Asmodan yells:

"Leave the Rakshasa up to Shadow Lion! we take care of these flying ladies. Right, ladies!?"

Asmodan uses one beast bond brand charge to cast divine favor
on Heroine from a distance, giving her +2 to attack & damage. After this he will move around, grabbing his morning star and buckler, trying to get a better view of the man-servant.

Heroine will perform her guard duty, attacking the Alu-demon:

Attack(Bite): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17
Damage(Bite): 1d8 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 = 19
Grab(Bite): 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 2 = 24

She moved up to Ruprecht.

Asmodan checks out the servant from a distance to see if he's mind controlled:

Sense motive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

Who gets the standard action?

Asmodan commands Heroine to guard Ruprecht from and melee attackers. She will move up to him.

129690-1
dark archives
Profession:Bartender: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Is it me or did this scenario go by fairly quickly? Not that I want to complain, but in my imagination a PbP would last months :P

Its the Aasimar favored class bonus that gives me +1 oracle level for one revelation = Primal Companion (Lunar). There was a dev post a while ago that said the FCB could only get to class level + 1, cant find it atm will post later. At lvl 7 Heroine gets large size etc.

"Guys! Watch out! That flying demon can break your mind and bend your will!"

Succubus: Does she have some kind of innate mind control ability?
Alu-demon: Same question
Rakshasa: Does she have invisibility? Some way to boost her attacks? Spell resistance?

Asmodan will then proceed to cast Protection from evil on Heroine

(Upping her AC to 25)

Then walking forward and ordering her to attack the alu-demon.

Attack(Bite): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Damage(Bite): 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Grab(vs CMD): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Knowledge:(Planes)(Succubus): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Knowledge:(Planes)(Tiger Lady): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Knowledge:(Planes)(Alu demon): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

"A flicker of light? Could it have been a spell that was cast? Let's go check it out!"

Perception(Asmodan): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Perception(Heroine): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

A hunch?

"The kennels! Quickly! PERIMETER, by the moontime of half kyonin! What kind of security are we!?"

"...And we suspect she might be under mind control as well... or worse. We don't know what we're dealing with here, but powerful enchantments are at work here. We need to be extremely careful who we trust at this point."

Noticing the truth in his own words, Asmodan takes another look at Damien Blakros:

Sense Motive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Asmodan takes a step back, then turns his tiger back to her original size before throwing her an alu-demon body part to chew on.

"Don't worry my gnome friend, the pathfinder society is here for your protection. Can you tell us anything more about this servant you speak of?"

The vicious glare in his eyes reveals anger as he gives a meaningful glance at Alafair and Elena.

I've got a hunch that this... servant is not what she seems to be. And by the gods, when I find her, I shall make her feel the wrath of the Gods, old and new.

Asmodan tries to ask his tiger to aid him in his attack:

Handle animal: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40

"Heroine, aid me!"

Attack(Aid another): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27

After which he casts protection from evil, and tries to deliver it to the gnome.

(he gets a DC17 will save tot resist the harmless spell)

Attack(touch): 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 27

(If it connects, he gets an immediate saving throw against the mind-affecting affect, after which it is supressed)

"Wait!? What am I saying!? Heroine! Ignore that last order! Crush that little mouse! Don't try to grab it!"

Asmodan says, as he stops in his tracks to turn around and point a finger at the demon.

Attack(Bite): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13
Attack(Claw): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27
Attack(Claw): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27

Damage(Bite): 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 5) + 11 = 22
Damage(Claw): 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 6) + 11 = 23
Damage(Claw): 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (4, 1) + 11 = 16

I'm assuming the first demon died and that heroine won't get hit with a claw crit :P

I forgot two rake attack rolls:

Attack(Rake1): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 20
Attack(Rake2): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 22

Assuming the other demon still uses suggestion to make Asmodan call off his tiger, also assuming it got through my SR:

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Asmodan seems befuddled at first, then obeys the suggestion:

"Heroine! Stop right now! Look what you did to this poor lady's friend! Down!"

Heroine looks at Asmodan before simply standing there, glaring menacingly at the other demon, but not taking any actions.

Spellcraft check for the spell Tespren is casting:

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

He then 5-foot steps back, before proceeding to cast another cleromancy on himself:

cleromancy: 1d4 + 1d4 + 1d4 + 1d4 + 1d4 + 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + (1) + (2) + (1) + (1) + (4) + (1) = 11

Granting him a +1 luck bonus on up to 5 d20 rolls within the next 7 rounds.

I also see that I forgot two atack rolls for the rake attacks

It should allow me to finish my full attack, you can full attack with natural weapons while having the grappled condition.

Id rather not spend all my daily resources now if it means I can't one-shot it :P

Knowledge(planes): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

"What are these creatures!? They look like demons!"

Asmodan will proceed to cast cleromancy on Heroine via share spells:

CL 7 Cleromancy: 1d4 + 1d4 + 1d4 + 1d4 + 1d4 + 1d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (1) + (2) + (3) + (2) + (1) + (4) = 16

This gives her a +3 bonus on 2 d20 rolls in the next 7 rounds.

And then orders her to attack, using dire collar to enlarge her to huge size on a command word.

"Heroine! Use your smite evil on the right one!"

(Left one on the map)

Heroine charges in after roaring loudly, using her pounce ability plus grab and rake on the right demon (from her perspective) to create a flurrying mass of huge paws, raking flesh.

If it dies before she finished her full attack she'll continue on the other one (without smite evil = -6 damage).

VS AC:
Attack(Bite): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 21
Attack(Claw1): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 29
Attack(Claw2): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 29

VS CMD:
Attack(Grab1): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 29
Attack(Grab2): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 29
Attack(Grab3): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 30

Damage:
Damage(Bite): 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (3, 6) + 17 = 26
Damage(Claw1): 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (6, 1) + 17 = 24
Damage(Claw2): 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (5, 4) + 17 = 26
Damage(Rake1): 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (3, 6) + 17 = 26
Damage(Rake2): 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (3, 2) + 17 = 22

"Atta gal! Show 'em who's boss!"

FYI: I can prevent damage on Heroine as an immediate action using martyr's bargain.

Asmodan follows in suit, heeled by his tiger.

"'Told you we needed to watch that perimeter! We'll be in big trouble if it was blamed on us..."

Asmodan quietly takes another bite of his meal before patting his tiger and following the servant girl.

Reflex (Asmodan): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Reflex (Heroine): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Asmodan was just about to take his first bite of the evening. Now his ears hurt.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

And he stubbornly continues to eat, ignoring the ruckus.

Getting no answer, Asmodan grumbles something to himself while heading back to his table.

"C'mon Heroine, Let's go back to lady Darchana. Maybe she has something to say about all this. Heel!"

When entering the room, he condescendingly repeats:

"Please don't be alarmed y'all, this is my trustworthy celestial tiger, summoned here for your protection. Everything is under control. Keep you seats and have faith in the Blakros family. You're all safe."

Before sitting down next to lady Darchana. He continues after taking a large gulp from his jug, taking a sideways glance at Heroine to keep her in check.

"Heroine, stay! Lady Darchana, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Did I miss anything?"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

sense motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Asmodan turns to the group as a whole:

"Everyone! Who's guarding the perimeter at this point? Shouldn't we be the ones doing that?"

As he nervously pats his tiger.

"...Fine. We should really let Major Maldris now of this tragedy. Before they start blaming this on us..."

Asmodan, still holding the charge, tries to punch the remaining wraith in the face.

Attack(vs touch): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Damage: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1) + 6 = 16

After that he 5-foot steps away, hoping to get an attack of opportunity.

On my turn, I'd like to cast cure serious wounds, 5-foot step in to the nearest wraith and touch it. If I miss I'll hold the charge.

"Away with you!"

Attack(vs touch): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Damage: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1, 8) + 6 = 20

I'd like to take a move action to step in between Thekk and Ruprecht, (this shouldnt provoke because of the cover the wall gives me) then hit the one next to Elena.

I'd like to know if casting daylight would have any beneficial effect.

"I concur! These are called Wraiths. Now die, lost creature! To the Hells with you!"

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Asmodan grabs his longspear from his scabbard of vigor, making it glow with radiant energy.

Im taking a +2 bonus for 5 rounds.

"Boy you got a talent for hinky stuff! What are those!? Heroine, guard!"

Knowledge:Religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

I want to attack the first target that enters my threatened area. I want heroine guarding the door.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Does Heroine pick something up with her scent?

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Asmodan follows Ruprecht, keeping his tiger out of the servants' way while sipping his jug of mead.

"Well, anything hinky?"

Sense motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18

Wait what...?

"Uhh... Ruprecht? You got a plan?"

Asmodan whispers to Ruprecht, before posting at the door with a white tiger, waiting for the others.

He tries to make the tiger smile to entertain and calm the guests.

"Heroine, smile!"

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 30

Asmodan follows maldris into the great hall.

Now what...?

Yes.

Asmodan looks befuddled for a few moments, then seems to have collected his thoughts.

I can't take this noble

After nervously patting his belt, he suddenly stands up from his seat.

"If you will excuse me, ladies, gentlemen... I can not indulge in these festivities any longer. Duty calls, I made a promise to beautiful lady Darchana here that I would keep these grounds safe, and promise you I shall..."

Grabbing a jug from his belt, he takes a large gulp from some liquid, slamming it on the table.

"That these grounds will be safe, all Hells!"

And he winks to Lady Dirianna across the room.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

Before storming out of the room.

Outside, I let Heroine, my big tiger, get some fresh air and release her from my stone ball.

Dang. Hells, 'least I tried. C'mon now Asmo, don't let some old lady bugger you off, think about them tiefling triplets...

"Very well milady, then I shan't bother you any longer. Enjoy your meal."

Asmodan is clearly flabbergasted when he turns to sit at the table with Ruprecht and lady Darchana. He seems in a pensive mood and keeps his quiet.

side note: added character info to my profile

Can't seem to edit the map on my phone; I can see it though.

Asmodan follows suit with the other pathfinders. When he sees lady Vaelia sitting at a table alone however, he quickly apologises to the group before promptly taking a seat next to her:

"Excuse me lads, lasses, I want to try this special tactic I reserved for times like this.."

Here goes nothing...

Asmodan softly whispers in Vaelia''s ear.

"Say, lady Vaelia, brightest of all the stars, most beautiful creature. Would you do me the pleasure of dining together with you, before we set off into an intimate adventure even a bottle of kyonin oakenstar couldn't prevent? My passion burns strongly... Will you join me in the society's cause against the worldwound?"

Diplomacy : 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

Asmodan goes towards Ruprecht first to try and consolidate him.

"Hey fella, don't take it personally... at least your not as awkward as the dwarf... You know what? After all this is over, I think we deserve some proper entertainment. What, say, we visit the temple of Calistria later, hm? I think I'd be up for a new record..."

He says with a grin.

Although it's going to be hard to get any better than those tiefling twins from last week!

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go make sure our dwarf, what's his name, Tekk? Thokk? ..doesn't make us look worse than we already do. Why don't you keep our raven haired beauty company while she uses her charm and wit?"

He slaps Ruprecht on the shoulder with a sympathetic smile and turns to find the dwarf, before a thought stops him in his tracks.

"Say, where's that grim looking samurai fella gone to? He's not making a fool of himself, getting wasted is he?"

Yes. (Next up: Lady Vaelia)

"Thank you for your time and patience milady. I shall bother you no more. This is a celebratory occasion, after all.. may we meet again."

With a slight bow, he leaves lady darchana to her thoughts.

Now, where to find that old hag...

Question: Ive got an animal companion, what the easiest way to represent her in-game? At the moment she's in a stone ball via the Carry Companion spell.

Also, I tend to buff her quite a lot through various means, what is the easiest way to reflect this in her stats? (Size increases, bonusses to next X d20 rolls, statis bonusses to attack/damage)

Added some boons to my profile, will do more info later

My lady, believe me when I say that I have nothing to lose. And by the hells, when is Golarion not in peril? It seems that for every alien mind and dark soul we put away in the Dark Archive, two more rear their ugly heads. No, Lady Darchana, it would truly surprise me if the stars would shine favourably on this petty old soul of mine, if only for a change. But I do believe in the here and now, and here and now we stand, whispering in a corner as if discussing the greatest of evils. What is it, milady, that prickles your mind? Anything I can be of assistance with? Here, let me make you a drink, it's a favourite of mine...

Profession: Bartender: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

good call on the boons, my diplomacy is higher in Absalom :P

Seeing Ruprecht off, Asmodan looks around for a guest that peeks his interest. As soon as lady Darchana enters he straightens his cloak, clears his throat and walks to greet her, throwing his most charming smile.

"Good day, Lady Darchana. I am Asmodan Galadon, Pathfinder of the society. We are dispatched to ensure your safety for this feast and we do so with pride. However, we were also sent here with a secondary mission. You see, as you might know, the Society has recently become involved in the terrible, terrible dealings at the worldwound and it needs allies in this endeavor.

My job is to convince you and other influential guests to give your support to our cause. I am certain that in this, our goals are aligned. Having the word out that your personal aid in this matter not only helped a great many innocent people... this could be profitable for your reputation. Do I have your support? I promise I am speaking nothing but truth."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35

I'm making a promise so that I can use my legalistic curse to get a +4 on the roll. Diplomacy: 6 CHA, 6 ranks, 2 racial, 3 legalistic, 4 legalistic

"Righteo. One cold Calamaxian Calamari coming up."

Profession: Bartender:: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

As he hands Ruprecht the fancy-looking cocktail, he adresses the gathered venture captains:

"Shame... I sold my courtier's outfit last week so I could buy booze... Would it be an idea to get a new one? Or perhaps something fancier?"

The last time I went to a social occasion such as this we barely avoided a disaster... Ah well, what the hells. It wouldnt be the first time I finish a mission with a completely imcompetent lot...

Asmodan thinks to himself.

"Haha! Hah! Hahaha!"

A loud, obviously fake laugh echoes through the room.

"Sorry, Sorry. My apologies. I don't mean to appear rude but... As it seems, the Society has to once more depend on it's most notorious drunkard to take care of its parties. Besides, no one here has more skill with seducing nobles than I."

As he makes a swirling bow, The tall man with puffy eyes haughtily glares around the room, inspecting his would-be companions.

"Anybody wants a drink?"

Accompanied by a wry smile, Asmodan grabs some bottles and glassware from his backpack and fixes a drink for himself.

Profession: Bartender: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Alright, Go on, I'm listening. Aren't we supposed to get some extra info on the people we need to convince to support the motion, yadda yadda hmm?"
