Celentria Sha'Leirin's page

I'm still around as well... Baby due any day so that might take me out for a day or two unexpectedly, but otherwise ready to go.

Celentria says, "I will try the noble district, I have live some life at court and may have some luck there."

She heads to a tavern in the district, not afraid to bat an eyelash to begin conversation and sets about trying to learn of Vanthus.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 Gather Information

Searches, Gathering info, etc:

What I have found works best is having one person, with the highest score, take 10 on searches, gathering info, and similar tasks while the rest aid another.

If we use Celentria's diplomacy at +7, then build on it we would end up with between a 17-25 guaranteed on every attempt.

For searches Quartle's +7 perception would have similar results.

What do we think?

Celentria is more subtle in her approach and asks about for Vanthus's whereabouts...

Diplomacy Gather Information: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

"Should we try to figure out what Vark was up to with those creatures?"

With a furrowed brow Celentiria observes, "Vark did have both the signet ring and the clue that allowed us to figure out the combination..."

"Chimera looks to sunrise
Cyclops looks to sunset
Medua looks to sunrise
Umber Hulk looks to sunset
Basilisk looks to sunrise"

The ifrit says while watching Julian work... Clever! Never would have thought of that...

Nasty metal beast... Let search the area to see what it was guarding.

Celentria presses the attack with her rapier...

PA/CE Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

+4 Dex, +2 Power Attack, +1 Melee Bonus.

Celentria begins a series of twists and flips as she tries to get around the metal cobra and flank with Morgana.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

She then attacks with her rapier, looking for a weak spot in the metal structure of the creature.

Rapier w/ Combat expertise+power attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

If the creature attacks her, she will try to parry and riposte

Celentria, fully armed and armored for battle, has her rapier in hand ready to enter and says, "Of course. Let us see what is inside."

Once in the coach Celentria raises an amused, firey eyebrow at Julian's scowl. "Something amiss?"

"Agreed! It will be an honor to continue in your service... We will leave this one for you, as well as his smuggled menagerie." She indicates the bound and helpless Vark.

"There was a riddle we found on the ship as well, something you might be more familiar with." She then shares the riddle with their new patron.

Is the 100 gp each? Did we get the 300gp reward already promised?

"The paper seems a riddle, though I've never been that keen on such games. As for Vark, I say we leave him and his ship to our mistress. Let her decide his fate."

All,

I have a big trial coming up Wed-Tuesday of next week. I hope to still be able to post regularly, but if I'm not responsive and slowing things down please NPC me.

Thanks!

Celentria doesn't hesitate for a moment, moving in to attack the creature.

Rapier Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Parry if attacked: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Riposte if parry: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage if Riposte: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Celentria also has blade to hand and heads down into the ship.

FYI - Camping this weekend - no internet.

Nodding at N'Dateh, "You should have waited for aid before confronting the big man. We will work better as a team once we get to know each other better, I suppose."

Pointing to Vark and the others she says. "If we can keep these from dying, it might be worth it to question this one. And the sailors were just following orders and didn't seem too bad as most of them ran when overmatched. I have little skill at healing, however."

To the group she adds, "After that, we heard some clatter from below - I suggest we head down as soon as we can."

Taking Vark going down in stride and knowing there is nothing she can do at the moment, Celentria concentrates on the fight. Now one on one with Vark, Celentria grins wickedy. "Now, I unman you, coward... Stealing from a woman who trusted you - this will be enjoyable."

She dodges, twisting setting up her defenses strongly - attacks then holds her rapier in a position to block any further attacks by Vark.

She moves 5' to stand defensively over N'Dateh invoking dodging panache, making her effective AC 23. She then attacks, and is prepared to spend a second panache on a parry/riposte if Vark attacks her.

PA+2/CE+1AC Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Parry if needed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Riposte if needed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Celentria presses the attack against Vark as he seems unwilling to surrender and things seem afoot below deck.

PA+2/CE+1AC Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Celentria grins widely at Vark, mocking his anger. "Your wench is down, surrender or you will follow her, fool!"

Charging to the east, Celentria stabs the woman who just injured N'Dateh, hoping to draw the attacks away from her injured companion.

Rapier CE, PA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Charge to D16 = +2 hit, -2 AC. Adjusted AC 18

FYI, I had mis-added Celintria's attacks and damages slightly. Didn't incorporate the Melee bonus correctly and forgot Combat Expertise.

She will normally use both Combat Expertise and Power Attack which will result in her having a +5 attack and +7 damage with her Rapier and a 20 AC.

I stand corrected.

Regarding the question on bardsongs, here is the relevant quote:

"An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls."

I would say that the bonus applies at least to the attacks, as those are not specified as being weapon only. Also, I would personally rule that natural weapons count as weapons for this point. It would not count for spell damage and such...

GM?

Celentria leaps down to confront the sailors below her, boldly confronting both. "I'd like to engage the captain there, but don't want to leave foes behind us."

She brings her rapier to bear, lunging and preparing to defend.

Rapier Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Celentria grins wryly as the man jumps overboard, allowing him to escape overboard. When the crossbow impacts, she grunts in pain and her smile withers as she sees how close it came to being a fatal blow. She then charges the crossbowman who tried to kill her.

[ooc]Charge to F5[/dice]

Charge Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Parry/Riposte if needed: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Celentria steps forward circling her foe, rapier buzzing as she strikes out powerfully and gracefully.

Circle around to set up a future flank with Morgana. Power attack with Rapier. Also, FYI she will use an opportune parry if attacked this round which will interrupt the attack.

Rapier Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Parry/Riposte if needed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Did Celentria already climb across, is there a map?

Celentria isn't wearing armor... wouldn't have worked with the disguise plan.

Celentria whispers, "Slip me back my rapier, I'm not going up there without it. If they ask, I'll just point out that they had us leave our guards behind."

She tries to conceal the rapier on her person a bit, and climbs the rope.

Take 10

Celentria switches from sultry to annoyed as she barks, "Idiot, Vark is the one who wants us here! He didn't pre-pay to have you turning us away, but if you want to waste his gold... I'm happy to get paid for a night off."

Bluff: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

I am on travel this week and have less access than I anticipated. Should be back to normal on Monday. Sorry.

"I think we can try to talk first, and I could play the role of a harlot as well if it helps. One of you will have to hold my rapier for me then... " She seems uncomfortable about leaving the rapier in the hands of another, but willing to help.

+7 bluff, +7 diplomacy

Celentria chuckles at the lizard man saying, "More likely we will need to rent a skiff to get out there."

"I will not participate in a bloodbath or quest for vengeance, if these men demand violence it will be brought upon them. If they are reasonable, then they will be dealt with more peaceably."

Celentria smiles brightly, "It is settled then, let us enjoy this meal for now. We can plan our assault in the ship afterwards."

Celentria raises an eyebrow at Julian for a second time. This one can be brash it would seem...

In her lilted desert accent she says, "I do not believe we should push the situation that far, friend Julian. Her families moneys are due to her... however you are correct that the two hundred gold seems meagre for our aid."

Turning to their host, the ifrit says, "You paid this man money and he betrayed you. That sum at least should be added to the two-hundred you promised, whether we recover it or not. As well as anything we do find beyond the signet ring of course."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Celentria is likely a little more pure hero than anti-hero. She may very well end up the conscious of the group. The good side of Chaotic good is strong, though rebelling against injustice is well within her wheelhouse.

The striking woman raises an eyebrow at being referred to as ginger, seeming confused, but politely acknowledges, "I would welcome any good omen. It seems that we have quite a variety of individuals invited to this meal. If the food is half as varied it will be quite interesting to the pallate." I am not in Court, but it seems polite formality is the best order until we figure out what is going on... definitely an odd grouping of guests.

Sorry to hear that Tirion... Will we pause a bit as we wait for a replacement or forge ahead?

know nobility (unt): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
know local (unt): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

I stunning beauty with fiery red hair and matching eyes comes in, bowing to the group in a soldier's fashion but with the grace of a dancer. When she speaks, the sound of the desert can be heard strongly on her tongue. "Greetings to all, I am Celentria Sha'Leirin, and I understand we will be dining together. It appears that our company will be as interesting as our mysterious invitation..."

She smiles warmly to all, obviously pleased at being here.

Sounds good!

These backgrounds generated are becoming quite interesting...

Celentria is complete...

Question - is Julian male or female? Its not entirely clear judging by picture but stat block says male. If female, do we have an all female party so far?

Dot. Still building crunch but the background is fully expanded.
