Attacked? Number, location and type of enemies. Aurelius says as he puts on his best tiefling Paladin impressonation.
If you do not know, location suffices.

May I enquire about your own faith Lady Loredana? My own actual liege, Lord Malacoda, known as the fatherless, known as the lord of Bastards, may have some... spiritual relevance. Although there could have been... better solutions to your issue, such as splitting. After all, if he returns to Nidal, why would you have to follow? Aurelius asks, seeking an opportunity for manipulation
Isnt that the symbol of the s@%$ty sin Socothbenoth? Effing Nocticulas Ex and brother because OF COURSE? Demonlord of rape, perversion and all the things Nocticula is to stylish and cultured for? F$!#, did I just compliment the big-boned-bat-b!@~#? Also, how much suspicion do I draw upon myself by revealing I know how Sucks-his-own-cocknoths symbol looks like? Aurelius makes a bit of an identification mistake
Aurelis casts Cure Light wounds targetting the his pinned ally
Hmm, it is not mindless since its speaking, and it its grappling him, so it cant interrupt me from casting a spell. I got an idea A cunning plan forms in Aurelius mind FALL! He bellows a command Commanding the creature to Fall, DC 15 will save or be forced to stop what its doing, releasing the pin, and Fall instead
Paizo forums decided to not give me updates on this one for some reason, but it seemingly works again now!
Guiliano! Hold on! What the f~!~ is this thing!
f%!# if I know
Aurelius strikes again, this time more accurately
Whatever the f*$* you are, DIE Aurelis is pissed and strikes
BLYAD he swears in Abyssal as he likely misses.
Aurelius, currently in his night gown, grabs his sword and shield. Wake the others Sir Guiliano He moves closer to the sound.
With Jana I wouldnt count out Groats ghost yet, the way the elemental collapsed into nothing after I hit it really hard to me implies it was summoned, rather then it having been there like... "normally" or having been "called". And we didnt kill anything that is in our view capable of summoning fire elementals, so no, area is not safe yet, just less unsafe for surroundings, I dont think the "whatever" can make as many fire elementals as it wants to, thats just not the way things work most of the time.
He pauses Like, I have some degree of "familiarity" with extraplanars, and you probably heard of the difference between calling and summoning yourself? This is also important when it comes to planar outsiders with loot. If they were just summoned, their stuff devolves into goop, if they were called, you can actually pick their things up and sell them, or grab their body and sell that to the next not that reputable alchemist. And it very much was like the former, not the latter. Aurelius goes into a short lecture of planar creatures and you, while pronouncing "familiarity" in a slightly comedic fashion. May need to figure out how to draw out the "whatever", which needs to be researched, perhaps something important in the "whatevers" mortal life?
Overall situation is also mostly consistent with a haunt that summons fire elementals, in which case bugger me because that is not my specialty, but I can do positive energy, praise Nephtys for finding me funny, at least by touch if not by channel, so theres that. Aurelius speaks, seemingly lost in thought
Aurelis moves in behind Giuliano, winks at Jana and orders Hmmm, I shall leave my dish to whatever your cook wishes to prepare at this moment, this seems the most fair test of his abilities for me. He adds as he sits down talking to Giuliano, not super loud but easily overhearable. So, you think the fiendish fire elementals, in that smithy have been dealt with? Just my intuition, but whatever caused them to be here may just be hiding until we arent there. I think we killed the elementals too quickly and rapidly, so whatever it is got too scared to fight itself. Probably best to not sell this as "done" yet, lest innocents poke around there and get burned.
Maybe I should try to play a damsel in distress to attract evil enemies... Nah, I am only mildly less muscle packed then our Bloodrager. He muses
Sinderbos? Details, if you seek its retrieval Aurelius interjects telepathically but does not manifest his mark And what we ask of? Information, to restore order
if Sercrutio shares his observation: Aurelius starts speaking Is it one that is capable of the of ? Such abilities are powerful for maintaing one ability others. It would behove to keep this in mind.
He specifically pronounces certain words more loudly, yet the communication is totally harmless otherwise. Secret message is: Use Telepathy to communicate with us
Once more into the flames! Aurelius moves to strike at the flame, flanking with Guillaume, wielding bastard sword and shield.
I dont know what this is, but there is one less of them now. Hopefully
Ambition bless me! Aurelius casts divine favor. I can detect magic as well, more eyes see more Aurelius eyes shine in a blue light
GM approval: Yessss child, use the fact that you are at least one quarter sex-demon! Embrace the proud heritage of the midnight isles! And Bards are great, one of the inn-and-outs I run is called "Bard and Breakfast"! Aurelius hears a mental voice, one that not infrequently messes with him Keep the f*+& out of my datelife "mother", and what do you mean by He shoots back angrily As to your second question, more like 6, and, yes, for wealthy clients. Bards are expensive because they are pretty hard to keep alive in Alyushinyrra. As to your first there is a dramatic pause Thehehehehehe Aurelius hears a giggle as the voice fades I need to figure how that that b%!*+ is spying on me. At she probably is close. Aurelius thinks
Aurelius wears his heavy armor, with a scabbard reading "Your uplifting message could be here" in celestial. His armor is not super polished (if someone inquires why, he will say, not incorrectly, that gleaming armor can give an ambush away) but well kept.
Shall we start at the beginning? So, about 28 years + 9 months ago, an Alu-demon got really drunk and/or drugged up... Pretty sure it was an "and" not an or... She then decided to impersonate a spire devil the demons recently captured, probably because they read its true name in a toilet or something, and then thought it absolutely hilarious to do "I am a sire devil yesyes" impersonation Aurelius speaks with a fake somewhat too high male intonation To some particularly inbred chelish very minor noble house, you know, the types that are so inept the Thrunies keep them around to automatically look competent in comparison? Which wished to alter its family web into a more tree like appearance. By useing a sire devil. Most cunning idea ever, especially since that Sire devil was actually an Alu-demon, or a half-Succubus, like, I would like to know whats the exact difference but I dont. Alas they didnt know that, although they could have, but you know, being good at actually identifying planar outsiders? Nah. 9 Months later, I happen, and there was much rejoicing because both I and my siblings are a lot more easy to distinguish from from a lemure then some other family members, comes with having chins, so great and cunning success yes? Aurelius weaves a pretty hilarious and long tale, very loosely inspired by his actual background, finishing with Look, I am university trained, and was actually decent at demonology, even got an extracurricular A+ once because I came up with "Nipplehands" as a slur for Glabrezu demons, and I barely managed to bugger off before some insane "researcher" got the funny idea to "objective measure" how annoyed a called Glabrezu would be at that term in comparison to more conventional insults. Like, the Kintargo university effing pioneered using Abrikandillu Demons as art critics, because the art they want to destroy the mostest must clearly be the bestest.
before: Aurelius casts misdirection on him, targetting his bed, he knows pings as the alignment of the bed for most things
Aurelius begins to look at Jana and says The very abridged version is I killed a Hag. Apparently said Hag was a properly authentificated soul trader, so according to her infernal mabullshitties gouverment, I am now a murderer and assassin for hire. He pauses I mean, seriously, I wear about as much armor as friend Guillaume, which makes me roughly a stealthy as a Rhinoceros falling down a stairway. This makes the whole assassin thing a bit of a nonstarter.
So, who other then me needs a misdirection for the audience? Aurelius asks I got one to spare
You have yourself a Hags Head good Sir. In terms of preservation of such trophies, how would one typically go about and do that? Is there like, gear and a quick consise guide for such things? I mostly did combat in build up enviroments, not much of a wilderness expert. Aurelius strikes up a conversation as he pockets the money.
My abilities are indeed of exceedingly little use against swarms, I can heal, to an extent, but only while combat is ongoing. Aurelius nods My thanks your aid Sir Alchemist, I am a sellsword, and from my experience, alchemists tend to pay reasonable rewards for well... rare specimen parts frequently procured during sellsword activities. I do have a Hags head for example.
Meanwhile, I was like "is this dead, I am not seeing new posts" and suddenly there were 16 of them. The forums occassionally work in mysterious ways.
Aurelius can pass for anything useing misdirection, he will tend to cast it at a random alignment less stone, but he could cast it at someone good but stupid. Still, he can very easily pretend to be true neutral without actively breaking character too much. He can include one other person into the misdirection, but thats his level 2 spells for the day.
Aurelius casts misdirection on himself, targetting a random stone. And then heads off to the marker in order to peddle the hags head, as well establish at least himself as a capable adventurer highly annoyed at Cheliax, who may be looking for adventurer work.
Yikes, I posted twice, or at least I think I did, it may have been "lets hit preview, so I check how it comes out, and then I actually forget to hit submit post".
We should use words first, the words to fist transition is smooth and quick, the other way round is more complicated. Aurelius offers I do have the head of a hag, we can turn this into a spiel where we killed a hag, and were then nearly killed by thrune because the hag was a licensed soul trader.
Very well noble allies The tiefling Aurelius speaks I can conceal our alignment from magical attempts to unveil it, but only twice per day, although such concealment lasts for 24 hours. He pauses One of them will be on myself, as my prowress and dedication to Lord Malacoda makes me shine on detect evil as if I were a cleric. I can cast it on one more, although this would be the totality of my spellcasting of this level. Perhaps Sir Fellizir, you have your own countermeasures prepared?
I am Aurelius, my talents lie in incantantions, some magics, and social engineering. I am also a somewhat capable fighter, although fighting Paladins fairly is best left to others. The Omdura smiles I serve Malacoda, infernal duke of bastards and ambition, I am certain that we will able to aid each other in unlocking our true potential. kn planes DC 15: Aurelius, while speaking with the accent of a nobleborn tiefling, is likely Demon, rather then devilspawn, he has also not given a surename.
SIR GUILAUME! DO NOT FALTER! WE SHALL STRIKE DOWN THIS ABOMINATION IN THE NAME OF OUR EMPRESS AND THE EMPIRE! As he seeks to strike the hag again
Face the fury of Cheliax! You unlicensed soultrader!
Aurelius strikes again, this time far more effectively!
DIE Aurelius moves to strike the Hag with flanking
Aurelius likely swings wide
Hi, my posting had a bit of a lulch due to private life (need a new job which isnt great), but ti will pick up now.
Sorry for radio silence, I am getting back onto it.
A good idea indeed! Lets makes Cheliax great again, one dead hag at a time! Aurelius says as he begins his preperations.
Yeap, something else that tends to work is group initiative (all players go, all enemies go), but it can go both ways.
Aurelius moves to the square one south of Cimri, and applies his bastard sword
His blow, while heavy, is not the most accurate attack ever. Have at thee, villain! He intones in his best impersonation of a heroic crusading hero.
A kid no longer but a hero of the Imperium! Aurelius initiative may be really bad, but his Succubus derived power to rile up people out of turn is alive and well!
I for one am actually Abyss spawn, as certain individuals take great plesaure in informing me constantly. Aurelius merrily interjects to rile her up
Looking at the map, yeap, hitting rhona with it, if it works she will probvoke from Cimri and G-Man.
Approach and be judged villain Aurelius orders Parenna to approach him, through AoOs as he stays a bit behind Guillaume
Indeed, let us hurry! Both myself and Sir Guillaume are resistant to fire I believe! Aurelius rushes in to save what can be saved
Aurelius new gear: --Feat at level 3 is heavy armor proficiency
will get the sheet updated today
I love stagger proof boots, which I would prefer over a belt, for also 2K. It goes a long way to solve my 20 feet a turn mobility issues, I can stand up from prone without provoking, and am less likely to trip in the first place.
Yeah, I did the same when I played it before, not only are the encounters (especially the dryad which we skipped) on the stronger end, we are perhaps the second weakest gold wise in APs I am aware off, although skulls and shackles is also fairly poor at the tail end of act 1. Meanwhile, wrath of the righteous lol. If you are good with your looting, and strategic, you will typically be 1 or 2 levels above where you should be wealth by level.
I forgot to take a feat at third :)
How much money we got to play with? I am considering grabbed heavy armor proficiency, as a full plate would get my AC to a far more respectable 21 (including the heavy shield).
