Round 2 Standard: Hex (evil eye) 2nd Elemental. -2 Attack
Evil Eye:
Evil Eye (Su): The witch can cause doubt to creep into the mind of a foe within 30 feet that she can see. The target takes a –2 penalty on one of the following (witch's choice): AC, ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, or skill checks. This hex lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the witch's Intelligence modifier. A Will save reduces this to just 1 round. This is a mind-affecting effect. At 8th level the penalty increases to –4. Move: Cackle. +1 round to Evil Eye Cackle:
Cackle (Su): A witch can cackle madly as a move action. Any creature that is within 30 feet that is under the effects of an agony hex, charm hex, evil eye hex, fortune hex, or misfortune hex caused by the witch has the duration of that hex extended by 1 round. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Keep focus on bringing down 1 of them, before trying to take on the other." Caladrel raises a hand and points a finger at the elemental not being attacked. As he chants in a strange language, his eyes intensify with a green glow, then fade back to blue. "மர்ம, சக்திவாய்ந்த ஒன்று ... என் எதிரி பாதிக்க ஆதரிக்கின்றனர் வழங்க" Aklo:
"Mysterious, powerful One... grant me favor to hinder my foe." Caladrel chuckles in satisfaction feeling his patron has granted his request, and the hex.
"Keep your hands to yourself!"
No contact at all ----> replace them. If they have the courtesy to let you know they wouldn't be able to post for a "long" time ----> give them extra concessions From what you've posted already, I would say you have been more than accommodating.

Caladrel raises a hand and points a finger at the elemental in between Raseri and Mabs. As he chants in a strange language, his eyes intensify with a red glow, then fade back to blue. "மர்ம, சக்திவாய்ந்த ஒன்று ... என் எதிரி பலவீனப்படுத்தவும் சாதகமாக வழங்க" Aklo:
"Mysterious, powerful One... grant me favor to weaken my foe." Caladrel chuckles in satisfaction feeling his patron has granted his request, and the hex.
"Your interference in NOT wanted here elemental!"
"What a strange deterant. Snowmen are usually a fun and happy expression. I wonder what kind of magic powers this creation."
knowledge: Arcana 10+8=18
"I would prefer to sleep actually, but you're right. We do have an eventful day on the horizon. Let's hope fortune favors us.
I didn't take that as innuendo, but I'm still not sure wht "bait" Raseri is referring to. Her portrait is blond, so we can let the innuendo go on that basis! (no offense to any ACTUAL blonds playing)
You guys want to move forward? yep. rock on! I guess so, since no one took the bait. :| What bait?
none here. I've got my plumber mustache on and I'm ready to save the princess!
"A barbarian chef? Seems a bit out of place. The people I'm travelling with here, never seem to lack an extra depth of character that you would not expect." Caladrel responds, "I never would have suspected you to have an interest in food preparation, Raseri. What other deeply hidden secrets are you hiding?"
"Where did you learn to cook again, Mable? You are very adept. Is it from disciplined instruction in the culinary arts? Random experimentation? Or natural talent?"
"Of course a warm meal would be wonderful. I must consult the cards anyway, before we carry on." Caladrel chants a bit in Infernal and conducts a harrowing. "Let's see if the fates have changed since last night."
"Can one trust anything? Especially forces and beings you don't fully understand? All I can say, is the powerful one chose me as his vessel. When, and if I am betrayed, I will still thank him for the magnificent knowledge and power he has shown me. Until then, I have no reason NOT to trust him?"
Caladrel breaks his concentration for a moment and replys to Raseri. "Tja, ser du. En häxa får hans / hennes gåvor genom gemenskap med en osynlig enhet, vanligtvis kallas en beskyddare. Varje beskyddare är unik och kan eller inte kan skänka sin makt på häxan. Min beskyddare, kommunerna med mig genom dessa spådomar kort, eller "Harvning" däck. Det är genom detta som jag får min magi, och ibland "kraftfull" anser det lämpligt att ge mig en glimt in i framtiden. Även om han inte vanligtvis "tala" direkt till mig, korten avslöja sin kunskap till mig." Caladrel eyes clear from a glaze, he shakes his head and looks at Raseri, "Jag är ledsen att babbla på. För att besvara din fråga, det språk du håller hörsel är modersmål för min beskyddare." Skald: "Well, you see. A witch receives his/her gifts by communing with an unseen entity, commonly referred to as a patron. Every patron is unique and may or may not bestow their power on the witch. My patron, communes with me through these fortune telling cards, or 'Harrowing' deck. It's through this that I receive my magic, and sometimes 'the powerful one' sees fit to provide me a glimpse into the future. Although he doesn't usually 'speak' directly to me, the cards reveal his knowledge to me." Caladrel eyes clear from a glaze, he shakes his head and looks at Raseri, "I'm sorry to babble on. To answer your question, the language you keep hearing is the native tongue of my patron."
Caladrel will sit in front of the fire and consult his harrow deck, hoping for his patron to give him insight into upcoming events. "What do the cards have to tell us tonight?" Caladrel shuffles the deck nervously and conducts a harrowing on a mat layed out in front of him. He chants in a strange language. "சக்தி வாய்ந்த ஒன்று. நான் என்ன இருக்கலாம் என்ன பார்க்க வழிகாட்டுதல், அல்லது நுண்ணறிவால் கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறேன். உங்களை வெளிப்படுத்த கொள்ளவும்." Aklo:
"Powerful one. I request the guidence to see what may be, or insight into what is. Please reveal yourself. After repeating the chant several times while shuffling, he begins to reveal some of the cards.
Cold Flesh: At 1st level, a winter witch gains endure elements as a constant spell-like ability, but only against cold temperatures. At 4th level, she gains cold resistance 5, making her comfortable in near-freezing temperatures. At 9th-level, this increases to cold resistance 10, and at 14th level, it becomes immunity to cold.
"Interesting. Let me have a look at this effect." Caladrel examines some of the wood, and does some tests of his own with fire against it. Then meditates for a moment, either consulting with his patron or simply trying to rationalize the reason for the mystery. "Scio, Didici, Pecto." Draconic:
"I know, for I have studied, with my mind."
Caladrel tries to recall possible effects that cause this result
Still not satisfied, he broadens his mind beyond spells to magic in general
"Very curious results, I'm not sure what to make of this. My understanding is..."
"I do not trust witches nor their cold fey servants,..." Upon hearing Raseri say this, Caladrel cautiously moves away toward the rear of the group that Raseri is leading. Caladrel address Grandma Mable, who is most likely last in the group... due to her handicap, "That Raseri is a tough cookie. Might be a while, to get through to her that not all of us witches are evil. Just like not all raging heathens of the warrior tribes are, well... heathens. It's an understandable discrimination, especially given recent events; but, there are good and evil forms of all types of people." Caladrel turns his attention to Mable's pack. "I could really go for a cookie. Got any left in there?"
"It would seem we won't be able to reach our destination before nightfalls. We should be on the lookout for a suitable place to camp. I would imagine the rest of you might want someplace to protect you from the elements. Therefore, we might want to search for a den, cave, or something similar." Turning to Mabs, "You might know the area better, do know of a reasonable safe place to bed down for the night?"
np. I'm sure you have MUCH more money invested in your education than on Pathfinder gaming. :)
np. life happens. touching on the previous post, DM, are you opposed to posts "out of turn"? I'm sure the double color spray, lvl 1, player neutralizer... had an effect on posting. (I mean, if I was an action oriented, melee character... built for combat, and I was forced to be sidelined for a combat... I'd be thinking twice about my level of interest in the game) Not that anything was played "wrong". Overpowered spell for underpowered characters + failed save. (tough pill to swallow) We all know, level 1 sucks. Options are limited, character hasn't really been developed yet, lack of "cool" gear... it's a horrible necessary evil. I'm sure once we get a level or 2 under our belts, it will pick back up. .... of course I might just be ranting incoherently early in the morning.
"Wow Mabs, you're handy to have around." Caladrel utters a few words and focuses his attention on the area Mabs is struggling.
"Scio, Didici, Pecto." draconic:
"I know, for I have studied, with my mind."
Having collected up and inventoried items of value that the sprites had, Caladrel points out the note... "It would appear this attack was more than just a chance encounter. These little demons were ordered to patrol the area and attack anyone intruding. This note indicates a cabin where the sprites were to meet the orchestrator of these instructions." Caladrel strokes his chin between the thumb and index finger on one hand, "This may be something we should look into, of course the rescue of the princess would take presidence, I would think." Turning to Mabs, "Would you happen to know what cabin this note refers to? And how much further would you say it is before we run across the princess and her captors?"
"Well. That was exciting. I hope you 2 are done sleeping on the job!" Caladrel chuckles. "I kid of course. Is everyone alright? Shall we see if these little menaces carry anything of value on them?"
not sure about anyone else, but for me, waiting for everyone to post in order, is my excuse. I check the game at least a few times a day and if there is not anything new posted, I wait until there is.

no worries. I'm not feeling a TPK over it or anything.

Let's finish this little nuisance." Caladrel raises a hand and points a finger at the Sprite. As he chants in a strange language, his eyes intensify with a red glow, then fade back to blue.

"Mysterious, powerful One... grant me favor to hinder my foe." Caladrel laughs maniacly feeling his patron curse the frightened sprite.
Someone please end this!
Congrats on the job. Good luck. What part of Japan you headed to?

"Mysterious, powerful One... grant me favor to weaken my foe." Caladrel presents a concerned smile, wondering if his hex is about to fall on an orb devoid of life.
you CAN finesse scimitars. It requires: Dervish Dance feat: Prerequisites: Dexterity 13, Weapon Finesse, Perform (dance) 2 ranks, proficient with scimitar.
Benefit: When wielding a scimitar with one hand, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on melee attack and damage rolls. You treat the scimitar as a one-handed piercing weapon for all feats and class abilities that require such a weapon (such as a duelist’s precise strike ability). The scimitar must be for a creature of your size. You cannot use this feat if you are carrying a weapon or shield in your off hand.
As far as I know, he's telling the truth about not controlling the dice roller!
Caladrel raises a hand and points a finger at the enemy next to Rasari. on map it was left 1 square of Rasari. The only one that had been engaged (by Rasari) prior to my action

Caladrel raises a hand and points a finger at the enemy next to Rasari. As he chants in a strange language, his eyes intensify with a red glow, then fade back to blue. "மர்ம, சக்திவாய்ந்த ஒன்று ... என் எதிரி பலவீனப்படுத்தவும் சாதகமாக வழங்க" Aklo:
"Mysterious, powerful One... grant me favor to weaken my foe." Caladrel chuckles in satisfaction feeling his patron has granted his request, and the hex.
"We'll see how you feel after this!"
Not that it would change Rasari's last attack, but... As a general suggestion to everyone. If you can delay or ready your attacks until after Caladrel goes... I will debuff enemy. This would go for ANY combat. Not just this one. I'm going to go ahead and post my action. As if everyone delayed, but of course if you would prefer, you can always post your actions as if they occurred before my hex.
"Mabs? What do you mean... dearies? What has happened and why do you accuse the fey?"
no worries... take whatever time you need. Real Life (understandably) usually takes priority over this. although... when you get back, we will have done enough random encounters on our own without you, that we should be ready for level 2! :)
