Caelan Benedetto's page

That was a blast. Thanks so much everyone, thank you for running. I was a little nervous about play by post (having only ever done play by discord).

Ok, let’s get this out of the way.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

1. Occultism. 2 & 3. Casts Command.

Occultism: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

”Sit down!” he says commanding the shadow thing.

Caelan takes in the room at a glance and raises his eyebrow at the woman.

”Well, naturally my good lady, but would you mind elaborating on what precisely you were trying to do here?”

He glances about the circle, then in a lower voice to his companions, ”Not really my bailiwick, but I can make the attempt.”

Occultism: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Arcana: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Caelan nods, ”Ah, right you are. I haven’t the foggiest idea, but I would certainly like some. Let’s find this prospective.”

Caelan arches a brow.

”This is all very interesting, however, what precisely is our objective here?”

He glances about his fingers thumbing his chin, then he smiles and shrugs his shoulders.

Caelan nods. ”I’m sure they can find a place for them, that is unless Elixia’s found a new companion?”

Eek, kill it with fire! Well, maybe.

Caelan begins to gasp and then quickly stifles it, taking instead a calm measured breath.

"Hello there, can you understand us?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Oof. Maybe not so measured...

Caelan would have tried to Treat Wounds on Guin as he is trained in Medicine and has Healer’s Tools, though he certainly seeks a little Guidance first.

Treat Wounds: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19

Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 7) = 12

”There you go...just try not to rip those bandages, eh?”

If that’s not enough, I’m sure some of the Champion’s Lay on Hands will sort you and we’ll have taken a little less time off between missions.

Caelan turns to him and nods, closing his eyes first to send the blessed emanation even further outward before turning to him (Dazzatir) and chanting the pure golden glow forming from his key and outward from his arm to him.

Heal: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Caelan arches an eyebrow then lets out a chuckles at the irony of the chaotic mob being blamed for the rule of law.

His eyes however, fall on the goblin champion before saying, ”You doing ok there friend? I think perhaps a little more help for those wounds, yes?”

He then closes his eyes for a moment and sustains the bless, extending it outward. He begins muttering softly, a soft golden glow flowing over his hands and into the goblin.

Two Action Heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

It doesn’t matter since that’s max healing and in excess of what good Chug needs, but that should have been 1d10+8.

Caelan will move behind the Goblin and in a surprising baritone casts Bless.

”Great Master of the First Vault, Bless us and keep us, stand firm against lawlessness...

Barrister:
Diplomacy with Guidance: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 = 18

”Come now my good man, this non-sense doesn’t hold. We can do better, we must do better.”

Herbalist:
Nature with Guidance: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25

”That lavender is amazing! What have you put in the soil to help it grow? If you could part with some, I know the Church is always looking for fine purveyors of herbal remedies and incense for services...”

Those seem like pretty good rolls, but of anyone thinks I should swing for a Hero Point reroll, let me know.

looks like my RL schedule meant no funny interactions with Caelan outside or trying to exorcise any haunts.

:( sniff-sniff

Where do you want to go / what do you want to do, next?

I think we get some magic going (Disrupt Weapons?) and then go in as a group. I’d like to do a Recall Knowledge check when appropriate. I have Cryptic Scholar and would be happy to use it.

I'm guessing detect magic didn't pick up anything, so the rest of us are just outside waiting for the screaming to start.

I mean, that’s basically how these things often go...:)

Caelan glances at the scroll muttering, ”I see....yes, of course.”

He nods to the scouting group, ”I can enchant two weapons and I must be able to touch them. They’ll last for a minute or so, so if you do encounter anything get back to here before engaging. That is unless you have a way of dealing with the incorporeal.”

I am all for beating up some ghosties. Just go in the order we received?

Caelan ponders, ”Competition does breed excellence. For those that can’t support any recruitment needs in the various guards, see if they have any skill at forging, or wheelwright, or perhaps carpentry. There is plenty of business to be had in Absalom.”

Crafting + Guidance: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24

Sorry about the Mercantile Lore, I misread.

Caelan seems amused by that comment.

”Do you know of any commercial uses for those ciphers?”

Mercantile Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Caelan is obviously Taldan.

Caelan takes his own more subdued sip enjoying the libation stoically.

He turns to his new party members and says, ”Very good, the history of a haunted house for Lord Greathammer, bringing a friend back to society for Captain Bennary, though from the sound of it there will be some enticement to use the salve on someone else?”

He takes in a slow breath and ponders for a moment.

”Ok, Eando Kline then Fola Barun, shall we?”

Saluting to Calisro Benarry, "Chug reporting for drinks." Looking over to Aaqir al-Hakam, "maybe Yigrig can help. He big goblin in Katapesh. Our tribe have goblins all over."

[dice=Diplomacy]1d20+5

I love this!

Caelan taps his chin thoughtfully.

”All three of these are of use with the undead, particularly the less substantial. If our group wishes, of course I could make use of the scroll of healing, but I think we may be in a situation where we’d like a little more ability to donate positive energy to our enemies. So give some consideration for the Disrupting Weapons scroll”

I am ok with whatever everyone wants.

Caelan takes a noticeable step forward, placing himself as the third point of a triangle with the pedantic Iruxi and Gorm.

”A fascinating set of errors indeed, such a list must be properly reviewed, ledger by ledger, at a moment of one’s true leisure, wouldn’t you agree? I am Caelan Benedetto. My pardon for any intrusion, but I am oh so eager to meet Lord Greathammer. If I could tear him away for a moment or three? Thank you kindly.”

He then inclines his head towards Gorm and says without the slightest hint of sarcasm, ”It is my honor to make your acquaintance, I was hoping we could speak?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Caelan Benedetto is comfortable at a party. This can easily be seen from his confidant stride to his graceful grey longcoat left fashionably open at the front. He exudes measured stability. His laced cream shirt, beneath a brown leather vest matches his leather gloves. Gold accents are tastefully dotted about with straps and clasps as well as a small golden key hung from his neck.

He inclines his head to his fellow initiates.

”Caelan Benedetto, at your service. I quite agree, shall we start with one and move on towards the others, starting with Lord Greathammer, perhaps?”

Then a beat later he glances down at the goblin and says, ”I should hope so good friend, I should hope so.”
