Noting Letitia's sudden hostility, Callix's hands drift toward her axe, though she does not draw it from her belt immediately, watching carefully.

Callix keeps hacking at the plant, hoping to remove enough pieces that it stops moving.... for for
Callix twirls the axe in her hands, "Guess I'll just have to cut her out..", and quickly lashes out with the blade. for for
Callix drops the bow and steps forward, her axe bursting into flames as she spins it from her belt, attacking the plant.

Callix says, "I'm not really one for keeping back.., but despite her complaint, she does step back and readies her bow..
Callix asks, "Do we know how long its reach is?"
Callix nods, "Not a bad idea -- seems a little more effective than just throwing a stick or a rock, in any case."
Sounds good to me. ;)
Callix blinks, "Well, I don't think I expected that. So more than a cat, then."
Callix shrugs, "I'd just as soon destroy it -- just in case we're running away from something later and don't want to end up in its maw."
Callix groaans at Samuel's 'humour', and takes a pull on her aleskin before turning her attention to assisting the search...
Callix takes a pull from her aleskin, "Agreed... and it might help if one of us tried to study whatever magics may lay about - as there may be a clue there - or a knot to untie....something that I don't imagine our rotting friend is able to do."
Thanks for that, GM. I'll add my own warm wishes to everyone and the best of the season to all. (And then warn folks that I'll be away for the first 2 weeks of the new year, so I guess we'll have Callix staring at the bottom of her aleskin for a minute or two. ;) )
Callix watches, unable to understand Sylvan, but certainly feeling the threat. She blinks at Letitia's comment, then suggests, "Could be from a toxin... a lot of toxin... though...do they eat? Root? I have no idea how it would have happened, but it could have been deliberate."
Stay tuned! Same bat time, same bat channel? ;)
Sorry, I was just so pleased to have a (permanent) replacement, I didn't realize we had to agree. Yes, please. (With a big thanks, also, to ShadowLord for keeping us alive in the meantime...)
Certainly cheaper than a Quicken Rod. (The medium armour counting as light in the same way as mithral is also not terrible).
Callix takes a pull from her aleskin to cover the smile at Letitia's exasperation, then shrugs, "Then we're back to what I said before, either we use the key and go in blind, or we take time to augur and divine." She holds up a hand, "And, no, not be totally blind - we spend the time travelling to try to figure out what the next challenge may be." She stops, and blinks, then says, "Too bad we can't use the hut to go somewhere safe - at least temporarily so - to give us the time to use our magic for insight...or to find whatever clues we may have missed... or both."
I don't love Blazing Rondo, because while it is Hast-y, you can't inspire courage at the same time - and I'm a big believer in having a competence bonus to attack and damage that scales with your level. (Of course, I'm also a divine caster, so Concordance isn't a big help for me). So, I kind of like door #2 - especially since it still lets you stack Good Hope on your performance, and that the ability to nova when needed also just gives you additional flexibility and options, depending on what's going on. Also, you could potentially work with Ariadna to craft an item that can do one of Virtuoso or Exquisite to reduce the hit to the action economy.
HP -> +8 (5 +2 Con +1 Toughness)
Evangelist Abilities:
And, benefiting from Aligned Class, treated as Warpriest 9
Also, now that it lasts 9 hours, Callix will cast Magic Vestment on her buckler every day, giving it a +2 enhancement bonus.
Callix says, "We could use magic to try to divine an answer to that question, but then we risk staying here for days, leaving ourselves and the Hut open to attack -- as I can't help but think what happened here is being relayed out."
Callix whistles, "Well, now.... that's... ", she trails off as she thinks about the implications for a moment, then forces out, "...useful." A good thing we don't have a Paladin with us, I'm thinking...
Callix pauses, then chuckles at Letita's pronoucement, "Maybe we can trade it to someone we don't like much that isn't as astute as you." She watches the exchange with the guardian, surprised to see it fall to his knees, Well, now... maybe this will work out.... Of course, every time I think that, You get an even better laugh, don't you?
Don't think we'd need a spider climb - we're already at the top, so it's just a matter of attaching the rope while we're here.
Callix watches the witch, Aye, she's showing off now.., then chuckles at Samuel's wistful statement, "Could always try the broom," she suggests.
Yeah, I was flattened for a 5 days about 12 days ago. It wasn't good. Nothing so severe as bronchitis, thankfully.
Callix shrugs, "I think we'd need to be careful how we approach that, as we don't know the limits and terms of the binding and what might trigger an attack... or that I'd trust any bargain." She pauses, then adds, "Not saying we shouldn't try to speak first, just making sure we're all on guard if and when we do." She then shudders at the reminder of the tree, "I certainly hope so... Honestly, I'd rather just destroy the evil thing, though I know we don't have time to smash every evil thing we encounter...." ...or that there'd really be much left around us if we did...
Callix nods, "Unless there's something more to be learned from it first - as much as it would amuse Himself to have us carry around the answer to the next problem and not know it, that doesn't seem wise to me."
Callix chuckles, "Who'd have thought it works on more than just brigands and raisers.."
Callix watches with a smirk, Good warden, bad warden... Really, we should start threatening with fates worse than death now.... She takes a pull from her aleskin, Still, it worked, so what do I know?
Honestly, this might be the first time that Sound Burst has ever actually worked to do something useful in my entire gaming career. ;)
At Letitia points, Callix quickly casts a spell, filling the area she pointed at with a blast of loud noise, before rushing forward to bring her axe to bear.
I should probably get into the habit of preparing an Invisibility Purge. Pretty sure we have a handful of lesser restoration potions -- and, yes, confirmed on the loot list.
Callix glances around the room, listening for the sound of hooved feet, ready to throw if the pig-hag shows herself.
Sorry, long weekend here. Checking now. ...and it seems I didn't click post on having readied an action on Friday. Sorry everyone.
Callix sighs, Figures... I bet You're laughing about this one, too..., she thinks before saying, "Get her, I'll keep working on the big one." for
Callix rushes forward while the beast is down, spinning her axe as she brings it to bear. for
Callix blinks at the woman, We need to talk to her - she knows--, the thought cut off by the explosive appearance of the frost giant. Well, to do that, we'll need to deal with him.. She starts down the stairs, reaching the floor before stopping, and whispering a rapid prayer to the Drunken Hero. Her spell cast, she taunts, "No, idiot, this is how you throw things at people.", before hurling her axe at the giant, then catching it as it returns to her hand.

Callix spins her axe in her hand, then homes it as Letitia steps up, "It was a team effort, though it helped that the Drunken Hero was willing to help me strike the ghostly thing." She nods in appreciation of the healing, then pulls out the wand to complete the job on herself and Samuel.
Callix blinks as Letitia's magic takes the flames away, the pain no longer distracting her as she attacks.. Modifers:
+2 Inspire, +3 DF[/ooc] for for for
Sorry, just saw that the part of my post with the actual attacks didn't take.
Callix winces as the fires burn across her, and blinks as they continue to burn, Well, that can't be a good thing.., she thinks, even as she focuses her will, reaching out to the Accidental God to grant her help to strike down the undead abomination.
Callix asks, "Ok, other than being green and ghostly, anyone know what that is and how to kill it?" She spins the axe in her hand, calling on the Drunken Hero to empower her weapon as she moves, the axe glowing with the hue of a golden ale as she swings at the thing

Callix chuckles at Jadrenka's assessment, Aye, boldness she has in spades... She lifts her aleskin to her lips, then offers it to the bard, "It's a difficult thing to do, that. I'd be worried we'd kill him by accident... especially since some ferocious creatures simply refuse to fall until you've killed them." She shrugs, "But, if the cookbook has use, then I think that needs to be the way to go." With a sigh, she asks, "So, then, have you heard any whispers about a secret, rapid way to Iobaria?"
