Blooms in Darkness's page

Blooms retains the demons' unnatural quietude, lashing the few that escaped it with lightning.

Electric Arc: 7d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 4) = 18 DC 32 B. Ref
Sustain Calm

Blooms maintains the calming spell on the mass of demons that have not yet truly entered the fray, scouring with flames those that have.

Whirling Flames: 11d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 2, 3, 5, 1, 6, 6, 2, 6) = 44 Basic Ref DC 32

Blooms in Darkness waits until the others have struck, and then brings calm to the demons, by force if necessary.

Widened Calm (5), DC 32 Will

"A spore scoured may prevent Treerazer's victories, but to gain a triumph of our own only one thing will suffice. Treerazer must burn."

A translucent shield of force repels the tentacles, leaving only the slightest whisper of that ferocity to trouble the leshy fanatic. Nimbly, Blooms springs away from the encroaching horrors, and since the isqulugs rudely do not wish to be consumed by fire, the oracle sears them with acid instead.

Caustic Blast: 4d8 ⇒ (4, 7, 8, 7) = 26 Basic Reflex DC 32, Ongoing 4 acid on crit fail

Blooms in Darkness makes an imperious gesture and a sparkling barrier envelops the party, shielding them from the first blast of hungry larvae. Harried but unbroken, the leshy continues, opening up a globe of freezing darkness to smother two of the horrid vessels of corruption.

Everyone gets R10 Piercing against the first blast

Reflex: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34 5
Reflex: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28 28
Reflex: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22
Hero Point: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41 Well that's a turn!

Eclipse Burst (Cold + Void): 8d10 + 8d4 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 9, 6, 1, 4, 3) + (3, 2, 4, 3, 2, 1, 4, 4) = 52 Basic Reflex DC 32. Permanently blinded on critical failure
Foretell Harm for 14 more Cold+Void Damage to both at the start of their turns
Shield

"My faith is my shield," Blooms in Darkness agrees. "Shall we cleanse the farm next then?"

Irked by the slimes resistance to divine wrath, Blooms in Darkness risks a return to more prosaic methods of cleansing.

Flaming Fusilade then a one action Ignition
Flaming Fusilade: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29
Fire: 7d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 3, 1, 3, 3) = 20
Ignition: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
Fire: 7d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1) = 17

Blooms in Darkness peers at the slime and lets its unholy nature whisper of its weakness. Corruption, of course, the leshy cleanses it.

Rank 6 Divine Wrath: 6d10 ⇒ (6, 1, 4, 9, 4, 10) = 34 Basic Fort DC 32, Sickened 1 on fail, Sickened 2 and Slowed 1 (but no double damage) on crit fail

"Fortune has no role to play here. Treerazer's doom is an act of will."

Blooms in Darkness continues pouring on the fire, smaller bursts sufficing now that the beasts are closer to the heroes and farther from each other.

Whirling Flames: 11d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 4, 6, 3, 2) = 29 DC 32 Basic Ref

And Foretell Harm for 14 more fire to each on their next turn

Blooms in Darkness's response to the spore-tainted tyrannosaurs is immediate and instinctive. They burn. And burn.

Fireball: 14d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 2, 5, 2, 3, 2, 1, 4, 6, 4, 5, 4) = 47
And then Foretell Harm for 14 Fire to both of them at the start of their next turn

Still 4 flammable baddies too close for a single big aoe? Artisanal microbooms it is!

Blooms in Darkness's work is not yet complete, but as fiery death births itself among the undead again and again, perhaps that time draws nigh.

Whirling Flames: 11d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 2, 2, 6, 2, 2, 5, 2, 5) = 37 DC 32 Basic Ref and Foretell Harm for an extra 14 fire at the start of their turns to anyone who got burned.

Blooms in Darkness calls, and fire answers. A storm of whirling flames engulfs the oncoming undead, tearing through them before igniting some of the gases left over by the mycological devastation.

Whirling Flames: 11d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 2, 6, 3, 6, 3, 4, 2, 5) = 36 DC 32 Basic Ref - And then 14 fire at the start of each of their next turn

Shield

Reflex: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 21 + 2 = 29 Find Fault to get a +2 vs. Treerazer Divine magic
Piercing: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 3) = 10

Blooms in Darkness sneers in disgust as the undead try to spread their loathsome taint, responding to the encroaching tendrils with annihilation!

Sudden Blight in a 25' radius, killing all the foliage and hitting for Void: 2d10 ⇒ (3, 10) = 13 Basic Fort DC 32... if they're living -_-
And Guidance to Idari

"Help won't arrive too late," Takarias exclaims. "It's already here! We'll cut this off at its roots?"

He pauses for a moment.

"Do mushrooms have roots?"

"We do, for metaphor speaks more truly than physickers."

Fort: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26

Being drenched in poison spores cannot dim the incensed joy that fills Blooms in Darkness. "Proof! Treerazer's rot no longer hidden away beneath notice, but shown clear as day before all our eyes! This root has escaped us, yet naught else will of his rot!"

With a righteous snarl, Blooms in Darkness ignites Vintalax and his throne!

Fireball: 12d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 4, 3, 3, 4, 5, 3, 5, 5, 1) = 48 DC 31 Basic Ref, and so long as Vintalax took damage, I'll Foretell Harm for another 12 fire at the start of the targets' turn.
Ignition: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26
Fire: 7d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4) = 26

Before flinging more flames, Blooms in Darkness sets the air throughout the battle humming with suppressed energy, ready to ignite at a moment's notice. 20' aura of taking fire damage makes you take 4d4 ongoing fire

And then with another snap, the leshy sparks a new flame, encouraging it to return to the enthroned monster again and again.

Ignite: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38
Fire: 7d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3) = 18 and 4d4 ongoing
and foretell harm for an extra 12 fire at the start of his next turn

"Keep your throne," Blooms in Darkness warns as flames gather "just more wood for the pyre."

Sure Strike
Fiery Fusillade
Ignition: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 341d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36
Fire Damage: 7d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 2, 1, 4, 1) = 15 6d4 ongoing if that happens to crit 'cause he's stuck to a chair

Idari seems not to be leaking quite so badly, so Blooms in Darkness returns to burning out the root cause of his misfortune, scouring the cultists with piercing rays of fire!

Blazing Bolt: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 21 + 1 = 27
Fire Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 3, 6, 5, 2, 1, 5, 3) = 37
Blazing Bolt: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 21 + 1 = 38
Fire Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 3, 6, 5, 3, 4, 4, 2) = 38
Blazing Bolt: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 21 + 1 = 40
Fire Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 4, 5, 1, 3) = 41

"He is not yours to claim," Blooms in Darkness thunders, staff held high as Idari's wounds begin to seal.

HHeal: 5d8 + 42 ⇒ (1, 7, 3, 1, 1) + 42 = 55

"So shall all your works come to nothing."

Demoralize one of the flankers: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (5) + 24 = 29

"Enough talk! They must be cleansed."

Widened? Fireball: 12d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 5, 5, 6, 3, 1, 6, 5, 2, 4) = 44 Basic Ref DC 31 and 12 extra damage from Foretell Harm
Shield

Blooms in Darkness glowers with disdain for the strange creatures that try to bar the heroes' way, compelling them to fall still and allow them to pass unhindered.

Battle Cry: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (16) + 24 = 40
Demoralize: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (5) + 24 = 29
Rank 6 Widened Calm on all three - DC 31

Blooms in Darkness takes a small sample of the demonic ooze with a grim smile.

"Even if these fiends were not turned loose to fulfill some dark purpose, they could only arise here if the most dreadful sins were going unpunished."

Watching as the oozes fall, Blooms in Darkness does not relent for an instant, pouring more and more fire into the remaining fiend!

Ignition: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41
Fire: 7d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1) = 15
Ignition: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19
Ignition: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Fire: 7d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 3, 4, 2, 3) = 20

Blooms in Darkness twirls, still trailing with light from the fires without and flames bloom within each of the fiends.

Whirling Flames: 8d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 4, 4, 1, 3, 1, 6) = 26 DC 31 Basic Ref for both
Ignition: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37 At whichever one's not on fire if applicable, otherwise on the more injured one.
Fire: 7d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 4, 2, 4, 3) = 24 and 6d4 ongoing if a crit

Blooms in Darkness hunkers down within the poison, searing the demons with Divine Wrath before setting the other one alight as well!

Fort: 1d21 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 20 + 1 = 33 +1 more if using Divine magic and minions of Treerazer
Poison: 6d8 ⇒ (7, 5, 5, 8, 2, 2) = 29

Holy Spirit: 4d10 ⇒ (9, 8, 1, 1) = 19 DC 31 Fort, no double damage on crit fail. Sickened 1 on fail, Sickened 2 and Slowed 1 while Sickened on crit fail.
Concealment?: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Ignition: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 21 + 1 = 38 Vs. the one that's not on fire yet
Fire Damage: 7d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 4, 4, 2, 1) = 21 and 6d4 ongoing on a crit
Then Hold Breath

Blooms in Darkness gestures imperiously and the leshy is limned with flames, pouring forth in a free-flowing stream of fire to cleanse the ooze-filled effluent. "You shall be cleansed!"
Battle Cry: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (13) + 24 = 37 If that's somehow a crit, they also flee
Whispers of Weakness
Flaming Fusillade
Ignite: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 21 + 2 = 34
Fire: 7d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 1, 1, 2, 3) = 17 And 6d4 ongoing fire if a crit

Blooms in Darkness can't stoop to haggling over dirty footwear, but understands that clues might lie therein.

Blooms in Darkness glowers. "A distraction from our true purpose, but ignoring it may prove the more deadly."

"The Hedgerow Holloway..." Blooms in Darkness muses. "They will know more of these assassins then. Their numbers are too great to hide all traces of association and villainy. Now, Commander Nuandiall, why is it you expect an 'autopsy' to unveil their secrets?"

"Perhaps you memorize eyebrows?" The leshy's voice is too dry for mirth to be detected.

"If as you say, you are not involved in this treachery, then I hope you will help us to understand it by telling us as much as you can. Who within your church knew of your mission? Did any oppose it? Where would these assassins have lurked?"
Using Sense Alignment possibly interacting with Lie to Me for an enhanced DC to avoid lies?
Also, Interrogation

Blooms in Darkness scowls even more deeply as the Razmirans prove nearly immune to mental manipulation. "Very well, there are other methods." Fire springs forth in searing bolts, burrowing into their leader and two of the lesser assassins.

Blazing Bolt (leader): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33
Fire: 10d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 2, 4, 1, 6, 2, 5, 6) = 37
Blazing Bolt: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38
Fire: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 1, 5, 5, 4, 6, 6, 3) = 36
Blazing Bolt: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28
Fire: 10d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 2, 1, 5, 2, 1, 6, 6) = 34

If one or more are alive, then Blooms will Foretell Harm for an extra 12 damage

Reflex + Find Fault: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 19 + 1 = 23

Blooms in Darkness watches the blizzard form, looking for the weaknesses of the spell, but, caught off guard by its arcane nature, nonetheless takes the brunt of the wintry blast.

Sneering with disdain for the frailty of the assassins, Blooms in Darkness trudges back forward through the snow, Commanding all of them to "Fall." DC 30 Will or drop prone with their first action, lose all actions on a crit fail

"Fools!" Blooms in Darkness thunders, "Your meddling will not be permitted to stand!'

With other attendees and diplomats around, the leshy cannot risk a broad blast of fire, turning instead to fierce light!

Battle Cry: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (15) + 23 = 38 At the leader
Widened Divine Wrath (Holy Spirit damage): 6d10 ⇒ (2, 8, 6, 3, 5, 5) = 29 DC 30 Fort for enemies. 1/2 on success, full and Sickened 1 on fail, full and Sickened 2 and Slowed 1 till not Sickened on a crit fail

Then stride away

"A hydra is a worthy foe for our task this day. One cannot simply prune away at evil in the hopes that it will be sufficient. No, Evil must burn."

Passing on the game and convincing Walder - Blooms in Darkness also thinks that the game is frivolous, even if it offers a salutary lesson.

"I am not certain that is what is best for us all, but I am heartened that you will consider it. If we deny Molthune, do you think that that will save you and yours from their warring?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30

Blooms in Darkness sips the tea thoughtfully. "Your frankness is appreciated. Too few have come to this meeting in the spirit of alliance instead of bartering, and your directness is what is needed to defeat our greatest foes. We must know how many arrows are in the quiver.

"Molthune is withholding aid unless your people are omitted from the non-aggression pact. Can your southern borders hold? I fear if we deny them, and they do not sign it, then that will still gain you little, but I would hear your wisdom as one who has long fought this war."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36

Blooms in Darkness gently declines the bow. "It is not my path. A worthy one, but not mine."

"Your wisdom does your faith credit, Alzarius. May this only be the beginning of our alliance."

Blooms in Darkness is as nearly ever a glowery presence, unimpressed with the temporality of Razmir's teachings. Still, the zealous leshy isn't here to save souls, but to see a terrible evil scoured from the land.

Blooms waits in silence.

It is quite beyond Blooms in Darkness to take part in games that do not have an obvious purpose, but a garden stroll is another matter. "You must remember what we all fight for."

The leshy has no particular quarrel with Razmir or his priests, so Blooms in Darkness spends the stroll in discussion over the various dicta of Alzarius's faith, and Blooms in Darkness's rather more patchwork theology.

Religion: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

"Your people have already felt the spectral lash of the Tyrant, and for no greater reason than proximity. He will not spare you, and that war, that calamity will put an end to your amusements and frivolities. Only in standing together shall undying threats like him be put to an end; you should stand together with us as we attack, you must not let yourself defend alone."

Deception: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (16) + 24 = 40 Threatening him with an honestly reasonable bad time feels more like Intimidate to me, but hey, I've got 'em both

Blooms in Darkness isn't one for frivolity, but the leshy knows well that those who must be convinced often lurk in dens of such levity.

"So this is what you can do when you put your mind to a task. I see that Druma, Molthune, and Razmir are here. Is it you then who inspires such loyalty that we should speak to to weld our coalition together?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (19) + 21 = 40

Blooms in Darkness nods gravely. "So shall your order serve as a bulwark to us all."

"You seek to lead the attack on the field of battle, why not do it here as well?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27

Blooms in Darkness is delighted to finally be speaking to someone who seems to understand what it is to oppose the dark. "Fervor and determination is what will be required; I support the Knights of Lastwall in leading this charge."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32 Double digits y'all!

"You stay vigilant, even at talks of peace." Blooms in Darkness grins darkly. "A credit to your brethren."

Blooms in Darkness seeks out Aromina, hoping to sound her out about Molthune's conditions. "Hail, Aromina, Speaker of the Heart. I am Blooms in Darkness. Tell me, what sacrifices is Nirmathas prepared to make so that we may all triumph?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24 -_-
