"I guess your contacts higher up in the chain know what to do with the lantern. But you are right, back to business! Shohiraj and Rataji, can we take the cover off or are there traps?"
"Sorry for that Teresa. What will you do with the lantern?"
"He is out of action, how would he stop us now?"
I would love to get in on a that Lari (both Serpent's Ire and From the Tome of Righteous Repose) for Standard From the Tome of Righteous Repose I do not have a preferred tier. In level range 3-7 I have available:
"What is that thing Teresa?"
I still prefer the crit on the Scorching Ray ;-)
"Eat that!"
"Fire for fire mage? You got it!" Another two scorching rays speed toward Zey.
Jorilyn casts a spell and two rays of pure fire hit the pathfinder mage. She then flies a bit closer while her outline becomes blurry again.
"%^$!@#&^&" Joliryn attacks Zey, trying to hit him hard.
"SDFSF sdf sfd ewq a" Joliryn blurts out. She still has the wit to enchant her scimitar to be frosty and keen and flies towards Zey to attack him
Jorilyn flies into the room and casts glitterdust at the area that Rataji pointed out. She also enters her mystic focus, benefiting from the effect of blur.
While Shohiraj is disabling the trap Joliryn uses her scroll of shield and gets her scroll of expeditious retreat.
Joliryn casts invisibility on herself, lasts 7 minutes of which 2 remain at the door to the Sky Key chamber. She has her scroll of shield in her hand.
"Ok, sounds probable indeed. I hope we all remember the information that I gave you earlier on Zey." Earlier info:
“Aram Zey typically relies on his learned magical abilities to invoke destructive and defensive magic, but his scroll collection indicates that he has many written incantations that feature powerful wards and glyphs. He made sure that I filed a particularly powerful illusion spell near one end of his office’s shelf, the better to snatch it up in case of intruders. Avoid his office at all costs unless invited, for there are too many protective spells sealing the door for me to parse what each of them is, much less how to unravel them.” "Knowing mages, it would be best if we rush him if or when we meet him. Allowing mages to cast defensive spells is never good in my experience. That also means that we won't have any short duration spells supporting us, but I think we can remedy that in the first seconds of combat, right? You never know what warnings a mage of that caliber has set up..."
"Welcome to our team Gazwyr. Can you tell us what this is about killing the mage that contained you there? Rataji, I believe we are here to retrieve the Sky Key? Is there anything you need to tell us?"
Joliryn puts her scimitar away. "I agree, no need to change a good team. Let's get that Sky Key!"
Thanks, can you post a link to that clarification GM?
"Hold your spells, we got this!" Joliryn says while she summersaults over the table, landing on her feet between two chairs.
"Hi!" And slashes at the musketman
Joliryn casts frigid touch and moves forward. She then unleashes hell on the paladin. She seems less real then she was a moment before...
Joliryn casts vanish and takes a step into the room. Her scimitar is covered in sparks.
Joliryn waits for the others to react
"I like Teresa's idea. No need to put ourselves in harm's way if it can be avoided"
"Thanks Teresa for the healing. What is the next stop?"
Joliryn casts shocking grasp. She then moves around the benches and slashes at the last guardian.
Joliryn slashes wildly at her opponent
Joliryn moves undetected under the last chameleon while willing her scimitar to take on a keen, shocking edge. She casts shocking grasp and attacks the beast.
Joliryn vanishes from sight while she draws her scimitar.
Before we go Joliryn will gather everyone around here and say "I have some information... Info:
She tells of numerous passageways leading through the lower half of Skyreach.
In addition, she has information on Aram Zey: [b]“Aram Zey typically relies on his learned magical abilities to invoke destructive and defensive magic, but his scroll collection indicates that he has many written incantations that feature powerful wards and glyphs. A particularly powerful illusion spell is stored near one end of his office’s shelf, the better to snatch it up in case of intruders. We should avoid his office at all costs unless invited, for there are too many protective spells sealing the door for my infiltrator to parse what each of them is, much less how to unravel them.” She then looks at the others "is there anything one of you can share that will help us in this endeavor?"
GM, thanks. I would like to play in Serpent's Ire at your table, either in Core or Standard mode. As for initiative, I like block initiative for PBP, see spoiler: How I handle PbP initiative:
I roll initative for everyone at the start of combat and will post a list that looks like this
In this case Player A and Player B can act, and Players C and D can not. If Player B posts his action those action are resolved and I change the tracker to:
If Player B wanted to wait to see what Player A did before acting he needed to either wait with posting or put in conditional clauses in his post like
In other words: in the same initiative bracket your actions get resolved in posting order, not initiative order. I do not like to use average initiative, as this puts a lot of emphasis on the two initiative rolls. What I usually do if people take too long to post is ask the other players to bot them. Even though I just said that I do not like average initiative, I am fine if that is what we will use. Also I am fine with anyone botting me if I take too long to post.
322, Shohiraj: "Sure" the halfling leads you to the statue of Durvin Gest
Already carved in larger-than-life proportions, the stone statue of Durvin Gest towers over the surrounding lawn on a pedestal flanked by angelic figures and carved with elaborate friezes depicting some of his most famous voyages.
Shohiraj, 322: "Hi, glad that I found you. You were looking for a nice statue, weren't you? I might have found something for you"
Zurnzal:
Joliryn nods GM: Joliryn will be looking for 3-2-2 for the second act
GM/Zurnzal: "He had some information for me that might benefit us all in our mission. What business did you have with him that you did not want me to see?"
GM: Joliryn waits to see what is coming. If Zurnzal moves back she tries to stay ahead of him, appearing to waits for him at the place he told her to keep back.
Wall:
When Joliryn sees Zurnzal point her way she heads back to the buildings. She is quickly out of sight GM: But just as soon as she is out of sight she turns around, trying to keep some trees between her and Zurnzal. She wants to know what is going on...
Wall: "Thanks" Jorilyn says, although it is unclear whether she directs it to Zurnzal or Arminaldi
The wall: Joliryn whispers back to the half-orc "He is reluctant to follow up on earlier commitments. However we do not want to make to big a fuss out of it. Maybe a stern gaze in his direction in addition to what I earlier said to him could do the trick?"
The Wall: "If the viper is already in the house it would be foolish not to direct it towards the rats and mice. That way it will still it's hunger on them...."
Wall of Names: Joliryn follows the Chelish man to a spot where not that many people are standing and walks up to him, falling in step just next to the man. She then says [b]"“The wall slithers like a snake through grass.”
Durvin Gest statue: I wonder what the weird woman thinks of animating this one. Let's continue to the wall.
"Don't look at me for that Marnarius!" Joliryn says while she strolls of in the direction of the Durvin Gest statue.
She lingers for a while at the statue and then moves towards the wall of names. Statue:
Wall of Names: Joliryn looks around for a Chelish man
