Azrin's page

They autohide after a month of inactivity. You shorted it by 8 days. :)

Shame. It was a good group.

It's because I wouldn't sign the contract.
My bad.

"You all assume I would breach this contract? I wasn't speaking of myself. I merely wanted to know how our benefits can be assured. I am wary of would-be benefactors. We drow have a history of being... mistreated." Azrin says with a reassuring smile.

"Who do you expect to enforce this contract?" Azrin muses aloud as he concludes his reading. "Surely the mighty Asmodeus is much too busy to tend to such affairs himself."
Bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Azrin smiles, though as may have become clear at this point, a smile can mean many things on this drow's face. His lip twitches upward to show his teeth as the man describes burning Talingarde. The intensity in his eyes seems to fade somewhat as the host goes on about religion and rebuilding society. He settles into somewhat of a relaxed pose as the others begin kneeling and making pledges. He eyes the fineries and decorations around him with a lustful eye, then considers his own robe, stolen from the deceased warden, and compares it to his present company. At some point he realizes he is now expected to speak, so he begins.

"My good Cardinal Thorn, I cannot express the depth of my gratitude for freeing this lot from Banderscar. They freed me during their escape, and had it not been for that, I would surely be but an ashen memory by this time." the dark elf pauses to flash a warm smile. "I will be glad to assist you in burning this foul city and its overzealous and self-righteous citizens. But I came to this land to cure it of gold and silver, and have little interest in gods, devils, or building a new society for whatever cause." Azrin then holds up a finger to halt forthcoming objections. "I am no fool, however, and I will gladly exercise my talents towards your ends in the name of wealth, power, and revenge, all of which I sense you are capable of granting. If this pleases you sufficiently, you and whatever being you serve have my promise of loyalty."

Azrin receives his meal, but suspiciously checks it for magic or poison. Using said spells.
"See that this robe is cleaned and returned to me promptly." Azrin commands a slave as a test.

"Teeth you say?"
Azrin flashes Yzera his fangs.

Why do you carry Carnadine's greatsword? I may have missed that part.
Also, do you guys have any rapiers or such things?

This is all very true. Perhaps a Ranger or Zen Archer/Empyreal Sorcerer is what we need. He/she could be crazy good at rays.

I just want the gold. :)
Azrin found the moors quite trying, and soon tucked his robe into his belt to avoid getting it even more muddy. Having always overcome his frailty with a quick tongue, he found the marshy grounds more difficult to reason with than the prison guards. He dismissed worm after the incident with Kaath and the others, fearing to agitate the brutal man. He kept his complaints to himself, almost always maintaining a wicked smile as had become his custom while he was an entertainer. Though it was partly to please the crowds, the smile was genuine enough still, fueled by a deep satisfaction at the thought of revenge against his oppressors, the racist and self-righteous alike. So onward he marched with his new company, eager to see what fate might await them.

Hello all. Sorry to hear about your friend.

Also sorry to hear about Kord. I rather liked him. But as has been stated, I think we'll be alright. Weak on arcane? Please, I have it covered. I can arcane all day long and then some. Plus we have that magus (if she's still around).

"Of course you can. We won't tell anyone. You can't really tell me you'd condemn me to death, would you? We're such firm friends." Azrin explains soothingly.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
But this is probably a scripted battle, so I'm guessing it won't work anyway.

"All of you, lay down your arms. Let us leave each other in peace." Azrin commands of his allies, now counting Blackerly among them. "This violence is to no end."

Azrin speaks soothingly to Blackerly. "Come, be reasonable. I think we all wish for the same thing."
Charm Person, DC 17 vs Will

Too bad I already used darkness...

I think that was my suggestion a bit ago. Well, the whole running away thing anyway.
I still support it.

Well I wasn't sure which afforded more visibility of the room. I suppose I'll stay above. It feels safer.

Would both afford line of sight/effect for spellcasting?

"Burning to death is it?" Azrin responds to Blackerly with sadistic satisfaction. "By your own words then." He smiles and waits.

"Let us bring the oil." Azrin hisses with his foreign accent. "I will do what I can to keep them amused." he grins.

Azrin's ritual completes and a tear through space opens, allowing a large serpent to slither out into reality. It flicks its tongue at the dark elf and coils around to survey its surroundings.

-Posted with Wayfinder

This definitely would be the time to use one.

Hey-o! I'm summoning a snake. It's not very interesting business, but I try to stay active nonetheless.

The swirling shadow before Azrin takes on a distinctly snake-like appearance as it begins to coalesce.

It only takes 1 minute to perform the Eidolon summoning ritual.

You're right. This is my first summoner.

Azrin maintains his ritual and soon a dark, swirling shadow begins to writhe in front of him.
I think it takes 10 minutes, so depending on how long you all take burning/investigating.

You may have neglected to specify where you're dumping that oil.

I think entering a pit of guards is not generally regarded as safe.

-Posted with Wayfinder

It makes no difference to me. I can always send in snakes.

-Posted with Wayfinder

As the others begin discussing how to bash or burn the guards inside, Azrin takes a seat and begins hissing arcane words in his native tongue. The air before him begins to waver and ripple.
I'll go ahead and start summoning my eidolon while this happens.

"There is the road. Let us be gone before the sun comes any closer to the horizon." Azrin says in a voice like a smooth whisper.

"The rope, hurry!" Azrin hisses.

Unfortunately we may never learn what those scrolls are.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Ah, I'd forgotten about those rules. Doesn't come up a lot. Apparently they do.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Re: above - I believe the GM is under the impression that whatever cover these archers have grants them a +8 to AC. I assume this is some sort of house rule for extreme cover as I'm not familiar with any RAW cover rules that grant +8.

Azrin keeps his head down in an effort to avoid arrows and, ideally, avoid detection altogether.
Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

I have a potion and three scrolls from the warden himself. I'm not able to identify potions, so I'm not sure what it is. I posted that I was going to read magic on the scrolls, but I never got a response as to what they were.

Well it's been good for me actually. I *just* finished a major deadline at work and had put most of my PbPs on hold (I even had to drop a couple). I should be more active going forward *fingers crossed*. But it doesn't help that I have little idea what's going on.

I'm still here for the record. I simply have no ranged options or helpful contributions at this point.

Before the shooting starts, Azrin seeks to protect himself with magic force. Mage Armor

"I can use a crossbow, but I am no professional. I would prefer to get close enough to use my magic."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Just as an fyi, if no one takes the warden's potion, spell pouch, spell book, etc, I'll take them.

Azrin casts a spell on the woman, concluding with the statement "I can hear your whispers."

Azrin follows Kaath, as he seems confident of an escape.

Before, after the guard's arrow:
Azrin waited in silent anticipation for the screams of the guard as his snakes slithered in to inject their poison into the hopeless man.
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17, Nonlethal Damage: 1 = 1
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25, Nonlethal Damage: 1 = 1, DC 9/11 Poison 1d2 Con/rnd

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the warden's tower:

While the others search the warden's room, Azrin focuses on reading the scrolls he took from the warden's body. Detect/Read Magic
I'll claim these initially since I'm pretty much pure caster. I'll also claim the dagger and the ring, leaving the potion, the ioun torch, and the spell component pouch for someone who needs them.

"Must we enter the gate house? Could we not simply lower ourselves down the outside of the wall? And what of the archers on the walls? How many are there? I suspect we have no time to dispatch them all, if such a feat were even possible."
As he speaks, the drow tries on a fine robe from the warden's wardrobe. "Ah, how appropriate."

As a quick aside, per RAW I need a spell component pouch, even with eschew materials, for arcane spells with focus components. However, it is often houseruled that eschew materials covers trivial foci as well. Before I snatch the warden's spell component pouch, I figured I'd better make sure I need it. What's your take, GM?

Seeing the stony fellow move for the door, Azrin sends in the two serpents he has thus far. "Go my pets. Kill the guard!"
I don't find us on the map, but my snakes have 20ft movement. They'll double move if they can't get to the guard within 20ft.

You mean like an improvised bludgeoning weapon.

Azrin begins summoning more snakes. I'll give everyone the 18 seconds it will take me to get 3.

EDIT: Heck, I probably only need 2.
