I'm... not entirely sure. I've never really... how to say... spoken to a specific deity. I sort of always speak to all of the goodly ones. And none of them. Though.. I'm sure I could figure it out if need be. Though, I doubt it would be something easily accomplished. I recall it being something one had to time properly, and I don't know the proper timing at the moment. Cedric says, looking over the item.
closed the game?
Cedric sighs, it would certainly have been better to confront the man at the lodge. However, they had had nothing real to pin on him at the time. Cedric however does not wish to risk entering the cloud, and is firm in his belief that his allies are likely much better suited to handle their foe.
sorry, I've been rather strained for posting time since the start of the year. I thought I had made a post, however it seems to have been eaten.
A crossbow bolt flies over Jack's head as he finishes and he sees a smirk on Cedric as he comes up the steps before letting a wave of golden light extend to everyone.
Cedric smiles and sighs. That settles that then. Cedric reloads and fires his crossbow again.
Gadren casts FIST
I think it would fit well. Either being on board for jacks antics, or completely "why me, are you kidding me plz no". Both are fun. Fact- We need damage as well. As it stands, Lazar is our only consistent damage until jack can manages to make a will save XD. Cedric is pure support when not fighting undead or chaotic evil people. (save one or two spells, like his celestial tiger, but those are saved usually for more dire situations)
The way is already in the temple. I am sure of it. Why must we not enter? We seek to help, or do you believe your new soon to be chief of clans won his duel honorably?
Cedric places himself between Maria and Jack, he raises his crossbow and lets fly a bolt.
sorry, I was hoping to have more time after the holidays, but honestly it just got worse haha. People are ordering way too much online :P
Cedric follows behind the others, having learned to rely on them in a pinch, since he was not the most powerful of combatants.
Yes.. best to keep a smaller space, so as not to get encircled and overwhelmed by numbers.. Cedric helps Jack along as they head towards the building.
Cedric releases a wave of golden healing light.
Good news and bad news Jack. Bad news, I'm afraid you have been cursed. What the curse is, well, I figure you know. Good news, I can probably fix your problem. Bad news, it likely won't be until tomorrow. Uhh... bad news, when is the next full moon? He asks the others around him. He would also cast Status On Jack, Gadren, and Lazar.
Cedric will move to Gadren and Jack. Gadren, help them combat the beast. I'll see to tending to Jack. He kneels down and starts trying to determine what is wrong with the fellow.
Cedric takes a step back from the melee, before going into a defensive stance.
Cedric takes a step back before saying. We don't wish to fight you, don't be so foolish.
He will burn a scroll of shield of faith on Jack.
no worries, rest well.

Cedric waits amidst the others. Let us hope.
Cedric makes sure all the visitors are gathered and casts enhanced diplomacy before making a small speech. Good people, I ask that you all work together to keep each other safe in the coming days until our return. Lock up tight, and keep watch during the night. One of you should claim the mantle of leadership until further help can be given. I worry that this lodge may be caught up in the trouble that is brewing in these woods. He pauses a moment. I hope, with our quest, this area will be forgotten, left alone, but it may not be... I can Consecrate an area for you, if the worst should happen, it will give you at least some aid. I wish I had more time, to do it properly and make it permanent, however I cannot. But the best protection you have, is each other. Look to your neighbor, if you have a grievance, ask yourself, is it truly worth troubling over? Surely it can be forgiven? When you each work as a foundation of a community, nothing can knock it down. Be a light of hope to one another, a shield in the night. I beseech thee, keep each other safe. Keep each other smiling, for that is, in my experience, one of the greatest weapons against any darkness.
He then would, if allowed, cast consecrate on/in the largest building. After that, he would sigh, and give a nod to the party to lead on.
Cedric looks over the journal. I think, it would be foolish to follow blindly. We must first quell unrest here in the lodge. Make it clear that Estovion is no longer to be trusted or allowed to operate things here. While his notes don't seem to demonstrate a love to the way, the fact he willingly works with them is reason enough. We should have those here board up and prepare as one would with a siege. It may be worth trying to find and meet with one of the werewolf packs here, particularly the ones that fought the way before. If there are any of them alive. Or, we can make haste for these ruins at dawn's first light.
Cedric walks around the room, running his fingers along the books as he does. Perhaps there is another hidden trap door in here? He half mutters to the others.
Cedric hands Jack a waterskin filled with fresh water. I think its time we had an actual talk with our host Estovion.
If the entity still stands after the devastation wrought by Maria, Cedric will channel holy energy once again.
Cedric will cast protection from evil (communal)
What is that?! Light, please grant us strength against this horror. Cedric immediately channels energy once Corvin drops and whatever that thing was left him.
use non lethal force, I beg. I fear he is under a possession.
Cedric takes a step back and grabs one of the floating force scimitars before hurling it at the wolf.
Cedric offers a prayer to the light. And suddenly two scimitars of golden light coalesce around cedric, floating and twist around him. try to take him alive everyone
No rest for the weary. Cedric chuckles to himself as he follows the others.
We must also be careful not to make assumptions. Its likely whoever did this was forced to. Here, before we leave, is anyone injured? Also, give me a moment to prepare.

Cedric channels a bit more healing light into the bite on Maria, and soon the green in the veins near the bit fades back to normal.
restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 3, brings you to a total of 6 restored. So after one you should be fine :P. Cedric looks around, I just hope no one else was hurt during the attempt on our lives. If so, I would like to find them. Quickly.
Cedric gives a smile and things for a moment before responding. I can heal the damage that venom does to an extent, as you saw during the fight. The main question is how well Maria resisted the spiders venom. spells:

archetype channel shenanigans: Versatile Healing Channel (Sp) At 5th level, the angelfire apostle can spend two uses of his channel energy ability to cast remove blindness/deafness or lesser restoration as a spell-like ability. At 7th level, he can choose remove disease or remove paralysis. At 9th level, he can choose neutralize poison. At 11th level, he can choose breath of life. At 13th level, he can choose heal. At 15th level, he can choose regenerate. At 17th level, he can choose restoration but cannot affect permanent negative levels. At 19th level, he can choose resurrection but can affect only a target that has been dead no more than 1 round per his cleric level. and At 3rd level, when a blossoming light channels energy to harm undead, her channeled energy also harms chaotic evil outsiders, worshipers of chaotic evil deities, and evil creatures with light sensitivity or light blindness as if they were undead. At 7th level, when a blossoming light channels energy, she can expend an additional use to fill the affected area with bright light (as per daylight) for a number of rounds equal to her cleric level. At 10th level, a blossoming light can use atonement once per day as a spell-like ability, but only to offer redemption to others (as per the spell). Using the spell in this way does not require a focus or material component.
After seeing the grimace from the bite, Cedric channels energy into his hand, before moving up to place it on maria. It flows into her and helps ease the pain of the poison.
Cedric chants a small litany, eyes glowing golden and a blade of celestial light erupts near the creature. Goodness, who are the ones doing the hunting again?

Well, if we need something... unscrupulous done, I think sir Ryder would be more than qualified for the job. If we could find something that would incriminate our less than forthcoming host that would make matters here easier. After that, the only real clues are... a noble in Caliphas,"the Stairs of the Moon", and "the packlord’s heart". Both of the latter sound like they have something to do with the packs of werewolves in the forest. And I'd wager our host knows.
sorry, catching up now.
well, things can't be that boring here, what with werewolves about and all or so I have heard. Do they leave the lodge alone? More importantly, have you ever had to fight one before?
Cedric makes his way over to the two (unless they themselves are not together, then he goes to the first one.) good evening, my name is Cedric, I'm fairly new to this area and had a few questions. And you looked like a great sort to be asking.
It's about going ons lately around the lodge and about the lodge proprietor himself isn't it?
Cedric grins, you didn't do anything unscrupulous that may cause these knights to know your name, did you? he asks after jack as he leaves. well, I suppose formal and boring questioning it is.
Cedric shrugs as I said, I prefer to not use the spell without the subject agreeing to it. That said, we probably shouldn't split off alone, if two go to the library, that leaves three others to talk to the three knights. And I don't think any more than two should approach one of the knights. As they would likely be suspicious of that. I admit at being better with people than books... even if I am a bit too candid in some peoples opinions. And Jack seems quite good with wordplay so he should meet with the knights... Maria. You have the ability to sense evil, or an ill aura from people don't you? I think the three of us would be best suited to knights. Though if you wanted to help Gadren that works too. I'm sure more eyes would make finding the information quicker, if not easier.
While I would rather avoid it, I do have a spell that will tell me if the person we are questioning is lying. We would need to tell them and ask for their consent, then it would be simple, as they would not attempt to resist the spell. The hard part would be convincing them to accept the request. Cedric offers his thoughts to the others. |
