Calathes Neverion's page

Calathes moves in hopes of getting a cleaner shot at one of the goblins before firing, but fires well wide of his target none-the-less.

Target Purple

Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Calathes takes a shot at one of the goblins with his crossbow and then reloads

Target Orange

Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Unable to get into a position to unleash another flame arc without harming a friend, Calathes pulls and loads his crossbow.

AoO on Magenta - Staff: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Missing badly with his staff, Calathes unleashes another gout of flame toward three of the goblins and then takes a step back. red, magenta, green

Flame Arc, DC12: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Calathes moves into the room and unleashes a gout of flame at three of the goblins.

Flame Arc: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 Reflex DC 12 for half damage

While Cornelious and Sarvis investigate the next set of doors, Calathes searches the open safe.

"I suspect that based on the appearance of the staff room, we are not going to find anyone to question that we will be able to get much of use out of." Calathes says, following the lead of the others as they continue to investigate the glassworks.

Seeing things begin to take a turn for the potentially more combative, Calathes casts Mage Armor on himself.

"Obviously we need to go in. Which door would we like to try? The main shop entrance, the service entrance, or the back door?"

Following a decision, but before entering, Calathes will look through/listen at any window near the door chosen

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Calathes shrugs at Rana's suggestion. "Goblins are not known for subtlety. If there were any left, I suspect we would have heard of it by now...although, it can not hurt to survey the town again."

"I'm not sure we need to be so careful here. After all, it is only one bloody goblin.... Calathes mutters mostly to himself as he follows Jim around back.

"A goblin in your house? Well I suppose we should deal with it." Calathes says with almost imperceptible amount of annoyance in his voice.

Blast...I'm never going to get to start this bloody expedition... he thinks to himself as he follows the woman to her home.

As the group enters the clearing, Calathes dismounts his horse, know full and well the skittish nature of horses not used to combat.

As the boars come rushing in, Calathes casts a mage armor spell on himself. His spell complete, he steps toward the boar with his spear at the ready.

I only see one boar on the map. Should there be a second one in front of Aldern?

Calathes will happily accept a horse.

Following Aldern and Ranna's conversation, Calathes introduces himself to the hunt's host during the ride to the woods.

"Again, thank you for the horse, Master Foxglove. I am Calathes Neverion, arcanist and scholar of the Pathfinder Society. I am afraid my own story is not as nearly interesting, or sorrowful, as Ranna's. I grew up not all that terriblly far from here, in Crying Leaf before leaving to study at the Grand Lodge in Absalom. Fortunately, the Society has seen fit to send me home of sorts to begin more in depth study of my field of interest, the Thassilonian Empire."

Sorry for my lack of activity. Still here, still slammed at work.

Calathes awakes in the morning and makes his way to the Goblin Squash Stables.

"Good morning, Master Foxglove. I've never been on a hunt before, this should prove to be a most educational experience."

Calathes leans over to the others not directly involved in the conversation. "A boar hunt? Not necessarily my thing, but have to admit the offer of a mount and its trappings would be beneficial when we begin our expedition."

"A library? That sounds like a splendid idea. Though I may be worthwhile to check into this graverobbing business."

Turning his attention to Sheriff Hemlock in particular, "Did Father Tobyn have any enemies of note that I should include in my research?"

Sorry that I have been MIA. This week at work has been a beast, closing out one project and bringing two new, poorly defined ones in.

Calathes raises an eyebrow hearing the conversation turn to hunting goblins. So much for the expedition... he thinks to himself.

"It seems that fortune would keep us here in Sandpoint. As luck would have it, it was our intention to stay for a while anyway. It would be our pleasure to aid you, Sheriff Hemlock."

No worries, real life comes first. :)

"Seems as if we have an appointment to attend to before we visit with Master Foxglove."

"Visiting Master Foxglove sounds like a splendid idea, although I do not blame Rana one bit for her caution around him. I've seen wolves looking over flock of sheep with less desire in their eyes." Calathes says.

"As to the expedition, Scipio, it can wait until things are a bit more settled here. I can bide my time here in Sandpoint and perhaps still learn a few things." he says tapping his chin in thought.

"Master Viskalai, are there any scholars of sorts in town? Perhaps a sage that I may consult with? If I remember my studies back in Absalom correctly, the Old Light here in town harkens back to Thassilon as well, correct?"

"Then if everyone is ready, shall we go see if Father Zantus has anything to say?"

No worries, GM DevilDoc. :)

"At the very least we should, as Sarvis has said, assess the damage to the town and see if there are anymore of the obnoxious little creatures still slinking around...after that, I see no harm in enjoying the rest of the day."

Calathes bids his companions good night and heads to his room.

As the next morning arrives, the arcanist consults his grimore before heading down for a light breakfast and seeing what the day brings.

"Thank you, Father Zantus. Your aid is most appreciated."

@GM DevilDoc: I would have assumed he simply would have channeled. Are you using the 3.5 version of the adventure?

"Perhaps we should remain here in Sandpoint another day or two. My reasons are three-fold. One, I have a few minor injuries that still require time or magic to heal. Two, it may be wise to ensure that the goblin incursions are truly done. Lastly, there is still the matter or collecting what ever reward Master Foxglove may have for us."

"Agreed, Ranna, a reward is not required...although a donation to our expedition efforts would certainly not be refused." the arcanist to the rescued noble.

Extending his hand in friendship, he says "Calathes Neverion, pleased to meet you. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking to?"

Calathes winces a bit as he steps back away from the goblins before showering the pair with multi-colored lights.

Color Spray, DC 14 Will Save for Goblins W-A and W-B

Calethes, emboldened by his magical protection, moves into a position to unleash another gout of flame, engulfing four targets in the fire.

Spend 1 reservoir for flame arc. DC 12 Reflex save for half damage (Goblin W-B, Both Goblin Dogs, and the Commando)

Flame Arc: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Calathes casts mage armour for +6 ac

+6 AC? Mage Armor is normally +4.

Seeing large number goblins, Calathes opts for a bit of defense before entering battle.

Casting Mage Armor

"Seems our work is not done yet." Calathes matter-of-factly says as he heads off toward the White Deer Tavern.

"O dac duun rhor tuun ghon, dec den!" Calathes yells as he unleashes a gout of flame from his hand, catching a pair of goblins in the blast.

Flame Arc: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Spending 1 Arcane Reservoir to use Flame Arc. Supernatural ability (i.e. will not trigger AoO). Goblin B and the Warchanter within the line, Reflex DC 12 for half damage.

Calathes moves over to one of the unconscious goblins and raises his staff, intent on caving in the vile little creature's skull.

Move and begin coup de grace on goblin B. Damage will take place during round 3.

Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11 On the off chance the goblin lives through that, he will have to make a DC 21 Fort save or die.

"May the fires of the Cinderlands take you!"

Ranna waves her hands about, and Goblin A's weapon turns red-hot.

** spoiler omitted **

I believe that is burning disarm, not burning hands...

Calathes moves toward the unpleasant sounds of the goblins. Noticing a pair in an alleyway, he unleashes a myriad of colored lights in the goblins's direction.

Color Spray - Will DC 14 for Goblins B and C

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Calathes smiles, "I am certainly more than willing to let you be my tour guide through this town, though I may have to beg off having a drink at every tavern in town lest I not be able to remember the journey." Thinking about things a bit further, "Well perhaps trying the brown mold ale would not be so bad."

If we do add more, I would love to add a "skill monkey" type (Bard, Rogue, Investigator, etc.) and another front-liner to the party mix.

That works for me.

Let's go with the spreadsheet for now and see how that works.

If I could, though, I would like to ask for a volunteer to keep up with the overview/ recap. If you would rather this be done in an actual text document that you just e-mail to me so that I can put it up, that would be fine too, but I would like to share the burdens here just a bit. None of us need a novel, but this is being done in another long term game that I am in, and it is amazing for remembering events and situations. Here is an example of what I have in mind.

I can give that a shot if you would like.

In order to save us the trouble of going through introductions again, we could keep the tavern scene from the previous thread and move on to other parts of the Swallowtail Festival from there?

Just a thought, but I'm certainly willing to go whatever route the concensus is.

Checking in.

I think one or two posts per day for thw PCs is a reasonable pace. Does that work for everyone else?

I was nearly ready to leave the game already based on the lack of maps, discussion thread, and general DM/NPC interaction.

Far be it from me to tell anyone else how to spend their hard earned money, but if you are willing to run, I would be more than happy to play.

I'm thinking this one might be done with already.
