Brazia's Lilac's page

I'm totally down for continuing but I'm gonna tweak Lilac's build a little. Still trying to find the groove I like for this character. Changing her nature's bond from a companion to a domain.

Can we do that with the same characters? I thought Eyes of the Ten was Seeker-level.

I think whoever made the table just sucks at formatting. If you look at the column names at the top they don't match the columns at all.

Got it, looks great!

"I am pleased you think so! I will make sure to remain easy to find when help is needed again."

Awesome, thanks for the game!

"We did not see the final outcome," Lilac chimes in, "But it appeared Eylysia escaped. With Fimbrik's help at the least."

I will keep the same action because I missed anyway.

I'm not aware of any special bonuses my companion gets against domination effects, I just get a bonus to Handle Animal checks against it.

Shirt reroll + 1 GM star: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
Yikes.

Lilac releases one of her magically-empowered pebbles at Helvin.

Magic stone (sling bullet) - shooting into melee vs Helvin: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 11
Miss chance (high to hit): 1d100 ⇒ 11
Damage: 1d6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 2 = 2

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Lilac directs her animal friend toward the Decemvirate attackers, draws her sling, and casts a spell. (Magic stone.)

I choose the bard, Sera Calthial.

"Oh dear," Lilac says in a voice that, strangely, does not sound like her own. "Eylysia, watch out!"

"It sounds like this Jorgar Ironbellows, if he existed, harvested the crop he himself sowed. That tale is useful not only for dwarves, though."

Lilac uses another charge from her wand on Jack.

Cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

I apologize for your pain, friend, Lilac thinks as the body of the snake winks out of existence. For the brief time you were real, you were valued. She rushes forward to Jack's injured body. "No need, friend Tannivh, I brought one also!"

Cure light wounds vs Jack: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"But perhaps I should not have."

No, I got halfway through posting, got pulled away to something else, then forgot to go back to it -.-

Lilac completes her spell and conjures a viper snake into the cavern, which slithers toward the other goblin.

Bite vs goblin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage: 1d2 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0 (1 nonlethal)
Con damage (poison, DC 9 Fort negates): 1d2 ⇒ 1

Meanwhile, she tries to direct her animal companion to attack the creature as well.

Handle Animal (DC 10): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
(Success!)

Finally, she pulls out her spear and moves further into the cavern. (Since I don't have a BAB this is two move actions.)

"Goblins? Oh, nasty things they!"

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Casting summon nature's ally.

Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"Do you hear that?" Lilac asks with a touch of fear in her voice. "The fog is... weeping."

"Perhaps the hammer needs to strike a foe? Or a foe of its maker?"

Lilac casts light on the tip of her spear.

Yep, I have light prepared.

"Did you hear that?" Lilac says to her cat companion. "It sounds like we found the perfect traveling companion for you!"

Along the way, the halfling girl chats happily about making friends with the animals in her home forest. "I have never thought of it as a hobby, but it does take a great deal of time. Most animals are less than friendly to those of us who walk upright, as I am sure most people have already noticed."

"More travel! I will be sorry to leave the comforts of the forest for rocks and darkness. At least I have a light spell!"

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Lilac purses her lips. "Are you... are you quite certain Ng's magic has transformed this grove? Has this cowl ever left the grove since you began defending it?"

Lilac finally decides she won't gain anything new from the statue and turns away from it. "Well I do not know much about your patron Ng, but I do know about groves such as this one. I know pumpkins are supposed to remain still," she says in a commanding tone at the now-dead jack-o-lantern, "So we took the liberty of correcting that one for you. I am a druidess in training from Brazia's grove, and you may see the truth of my words through my friend here, who agreed to join me." She indicated the little cat. "It was not our original goal, I admit, but it would bring me joy if the blight on this place were removed so I could see what it ought to be."

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

"I vaguely remember that Ng is one of the Eldest related to seasons, secrets, and wanderers. He's neither good or evil."

"Oh! That is fortunate, because nature is also neither good or evil. But it makes me think he is not the cause of the blight."

* * * * *

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

"Oh, we are not in the business of defiling groves and their splendor," Lilac says in what she hopes is a reassuring tone, still looking at the statue. Seasons, secrets, and wanderers, hmmm?

Aid Another (Diplomacy): 1d20 ⇒ 16

Lilac cancels her spell and exhales with relief. "I am glad that is over. I prefer the pumpkins that are only for eating."

She inspects the statue and inscription. "I am unfamiliar with this god. Ng, she called him? I hope he is good. If the statue alone has caused this blight, that would be strong magic indeed."

Casting detect magic on the statue. Ng probably counts as an obscure deity, meaning I can't hope to recognize anything without being trained in Knowledge (religion).

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"Watch out for the jack-o-lantern! It can turn a dead body into more of itself! Oh, please help me get rid of it," Lilac says to the small cat. "I'll try to conjure us a friend."

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Begin casting summon monster I.

It certainly would matter if I was level 2! Unfortunately until then I get no special bonuses against plants or undergrowth.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Lilac steps easily between the pumpkins.

"If there are any clues still to be found," Lilac says, her voice sounding strangely out of place in the oppressive air, "this seems the likely place for them."

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Jack, Core eldritch knight? I think they are one of the prestige classes in core?

It is, but it's more of a wizard that dipped fighter than a fighter that dipped wizard (at least in terms of the levels you need). But you could totally play it as a soldier who's like "I can't get this spell to... screw it I'm swinging a sword."

"Oh yes," Lilac responds in a hushed tone, her eyes not leaving their surroundings. "Everything is connected, we ourselves included. But I do not know what effect this blight will have."

"This is... unsettling. You can feel the suffering here." Lilac takes a few cautious steps inward. Her bobcat, ears pointed to the sides, follows alongside. "Thank you for your role in protecting the rest of the forest."

Knowledge (nature) + druid: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 = 26

"I know of you!" Lilac says happily. "I am from the Brazia circle. I attended your autumn festival once, it was extraordinary."

I'm here, just had a busy couple of days.

Lilac inhales deeply when they enter the forest, her mood improved considerably. It is not home, but it is close. Her companion disappears into the trees to hunt, returning some time later with a satisfied air about him.

"It was found by someone named Zaul Bluestone. Did you know that person?"

"Yes!" Lilac continues, seeing the positive effect of her allies' knowledge but having no such knowledge herself. "And people on other planes, like yourself... become stronger when they, um, do not attack living people!"

Bluff: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

"Shikigami!" Lilac says in a tone of mild chastisement, looking around for any other items it might use as projectiles so she can stay out of their path. "We are here to peruse items, not destroy them!"

"Oh thank you! I do not know how much longer we could have held them off!" Lilac says politely, as though they hadn't already dispatched most of the locusts already. "Perhaps some insect-related countermeasures would be appreciated by this exhibit."

Still just readying an action if I get swarmed.

Badly injured and with little else to do by way of protecting the artifacts, Lilac grabs another item to hold it safe.

Can I hold more than one artifact at a time? I assume my companion can't, but I don't know how large these are. If I can hold more than one I will, if not I'll just continue readying an action to move out of a swarm.

Same. Companion and I can't really do anything else either. Will ready an action to move away if I get engulfed by a swarm.

Lilac grabs an artifact at random and runs away from the bugs. "I can't! I'm not used to dealing with things their size!"

Yea I've got nothing here. I can summon a mite, which has vermin empathy, but it would take way longer to even try influencing a swarm than the summon spell would last.

Correct!

Round 1:

I guess it makes the most sense to focus on one's that have already been engulfed, so I've moved myself accordingly.

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Round 2:

"I will... *cough*... remember that," Lilac manages to say through the swarm.

Lilac needed a double move to get to the first artifact, so she will spend this turn bringing it out.

Handle Animal (drop): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Handle Animal (fetch): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

She directs her ocelot friend to leave the artifact and head for one not yet engulfed.

"Nasty swarms, probably use fire bombs if you have them. They can hurt the artifacts and people. A very few people are more important than these artifacts." He looks around. "I see two in this room by the way."

"Thank you!" Lilac says gratefully after a few quick gestures to the animal companion who had agreed to accompany them. "You are the first I have met who refers to an animal friend as a person!"

Crap I forgot to put a rank in Handle Animal. Well this will be an interesting game...
Handle Animal (fetch): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

She looks for an artifact she can pick up and take away from the swarm.

“Come in, come in! Always a pleasure to host members of the Society. I assume this is in regards to the missive I received from Mr. Shane?”

"Probably, since this visit is in regards to a missive we each received from Mr. Shane." She peers at some of the displays. "Do you have any exhibits on riders of things? Perhaps false ones?" To this strange question Lilac offers no further explanation.

"Dangerous." She climbs onto a stool, accepting Corgrim's help to do so. "But I do not know if they all are. Have you ever been on one?"

Sorry, didn't see there was a Gameplay thread.

Simplicity is what I like about Core. No crazy half-elf/half-angel gunslinger/inquisitors who can see invisibility and also ignore difficult terrain*. Everybody's characters are a lot easier to understand.

* Not hating-- this exactly describes my -1 character. Just proving my point.

A halfling girl with flowers in her hair, wearing adventuring gear that includes a few weapons but all of it looking barely used, trots into the room. "Oh! Did you all receive letters as well? I am happy to meet you! My name is Lilac, and this is my second Pathfinder mission!"
