Celestia sighs, "I have yet to study time based magic, but it's some of the most powerful stuff around... If it is a trap or anomaly its best we avoid it... Although such magic might also explain how Baba yaga can come back after centuries of being gone..."

Celestia snorts, "A stitch can also mean fix... Perhaps... Its implyig time is fabric, and this clock is a stitch?" she sighs,"Its amazing how much we don't know... Even..." she closes her eyes, Pondering something... "I think the giant demon might be pushing us twards something alot deeper than we first thought" she says, Looking back to her flaming minion. "Stay close, Watch our backs"

Celestia nods, Closing her book, "It is possible, That one there is Thoth, An ancient Orision god. It only makes sense these other symbols are other lost deities. Anyways, Let is get going- Tetro is right... It isn't exactly safe enough to sit around for too long"

Also, Oops, Used my DM profile by accident

I auto success the first check-in I have a +24, therefore a roll of 1 is 25
Religion: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31
She examines the symbols... Sliding a finger down the symbol kf the cross. a man hung in such a way... I imagine they are a deity of vengeance.. this one is Thoth, However the rest are alien... And I should know... I am a Scolar of religion she stands and looks to Tetro. I do not believe someone would worship so many different Gods, this one is peculiar she says pointing to the symbol of the man with Raven and wolf. "like I've seen then somewhere before... But it slips my mind... Hmm. In either case I don't believe they have much hold here. I still wouldn't destroy such artifacts. Knowledge is sacred.

She continues to admire the works, making note of every symbol she sees. A religion... Alien to galorian yet still reminiscent of humans. I must catalog these and bring it to my homeland. Knowledge like this might be able to explain what history was before it was witten she pulls out a book and begins to write until somone stops her.

(Yeah, My phone likes to replace letters, god is totally just gif)

Celestia turns to the others, "I'd like to get a better look at the inside of the church... Something about the Symbols there look important.... And in sure whatever gif Baba yaga worshiped would have clues as to the wareabouts of the artifact."

Celestia (who would have frozen days ago with her lack of clothes if it wheren't for her magic) scoffs "Giants..." she looks around the fountan, Scanning it for anything of note
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

She then searches her mind if prepared spells.
"I must may payer soon to restore my magics..." she says. "A few more fights like that and I'll have to start digging my more powerful spells out... Or I'll have to resort to standing back and letting you all work without me... she scoffs "I'll grant help where i can, but I'll feel useless"

Celestia commands her Flaming Giant forward, all the while drawing her hands through the motions, her words filled with the strength of divine magic. She calls all her divine will into her wrath and a bolt of black and red energy blasts from her inti the giant
Casting Destruction, Dealing 150 damage to the giant unless he saves a DC 24 Fort save and take 10d6 damage instead- if it kills him he disintegrates and can't be resurrected Damage if he saves: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 2, 4, 5, 3, 4, 3, 1) = 33

Her flaming Giant advances and swings it's axe.
Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
Damage: 2d10 + 14 ⇒ (10, 7) + 14 = 31+Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Celestia growls words of hate. May your soul perish in darkness!

Last like always, Gives everyone a chance to get out of the way before I unleash hell ;)

Celestia chuckles, "Only when that necessity pertains to my work, not the the whims of a vengeful god who likes to poke his nose into pits full of vipers"

Celestia sighs and waves a hand over the pool, casting a spell to detect magic, followed by another to detect poison.
"i have to do everything it seems" she complains.

Celestia Huffs, Holding out a hand and whispering a spell to identify the magic. Casting Identify, which grants a +20 to identify the dolls.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34+20 from identify to identify the magic

Celestia crosses her arms,

"If this is a puzzle it is a poor one, there are no signs as to what needs done... perhaps these where jsut the focuses to the statues and the magic."

Celestia scowls, moving to stop Tetro from touching the dolls. "Careful, they could be cursed" she says, warry of the odd things

Celestia Huffs, "seems easy enough to bypass if my staff works on them..." she says, "But I advise we still move forward with caution." She shifts her staff to her off hand and draws her whip, giving it a good crack before whispering a prayer to herself.

was my flaming Skeleton abke to follow- I know the zombie was destroyed in combat but last I checked I healed the Skelleton

Celestia holds up her healing staff.

"well I have this," she says ," but I dont belive I can use this on unwilling subjects... but let us see..." she says, channeling a charge of her staff into healing energy, directing it into the statue. casting heal CL:15 into the statue, so 150 positive energy.

again, sorry for disappearing for a while

sorry for vanishing like that. i had gotten distracted, my work has been riding on my heals, and life is spinning randomly in crazy directions.

nut im back, and should be fine :P

Celestia wills her flaming Skelleton to strike at the last Giants, Moving in for the kill,

While she herself stands back, Complacent to let her Undead work for her, however she makes sure he'll stand for another while, casting a spell that causes the air to fill with the taste of blood, but the Skeleton's dark aura is quickly healed, any damage on its form before now being put back together.
Casting harm on the Skeleton, which heals him full

The Gaint Skeleton itself lundges at the closest Giant and swings its flaming axe hard.
Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31-damage: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (5, 7) + 13 = 25+Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3

The Flaming Giant Skeleton screeches as it attacks.

Celestia scoffs at the Giants attempt to down her Minions, he Colds out a hand to the Gnarled one, And whispers dark words, All that hear what she says can make no sense of it, And dark energy flows from her as she holds her hands out. Casting Insainity on the Gnarled Giant, Will DC:25 or suffer the effects of Confusion Perminently, unless your using ultimate horror rules

Her giant undead retaliate, the Flaming Skeleton swinging his weapon at the Gnarled Giant to attacked it its flaming aura already huting the giant.
Giant takes 1d6 fire for attacking the Skelly witb melee, then 1d6 for standing next to him
fire: 1d6 ⇒ 2+fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1
The Skeleton swings its axe. Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33 Damage: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (1, 3) + 13 = 17+fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Unfortunately the Zombie can't stand up to the force of two giants, and goes down without a sound

Hope all goes well

Celestia commands her undead giants forward, Having the flaming Skelleton stay a few feet from the zombie, as to not burn it. They advance on the closest giant, Attacking together.
Attack(Skelleton): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Attack(Zombie): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

The Skeleton strikes true but the zombie has yet to get used to rigor mortis

Damage(slashing): 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (4, 6) + 15 = 25+Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Celestia then whispers a Prayer, Calling to her goddess. Divine power flows through her and Power flows from her goddess, granting her strength. She brandishes her whip, and laughs
Casting Divine might, I now have +4 Str, and a few other effects i have to look up :P

Celestia waves her staff and Whispers an incantation, The room is filled with Light as five wasp-like wings materialize around her Casting shield of wings from the cleric list she lifts into the air and draws her whip in her left hand. Let us advance. she says, ready to bring wrath apon her foes.

She sees the shriveled giant and is curious for a moment, However she was unfamiliar with the the creature. She Huffs, Whatever it was, surely it wasn't as deadly as a dragon.

Sorry, kt seemed Paizo was down at every time I was on, it sucked :(

But I'm here, and CAN RESPOND!

Celestia whispers something. Immediately her form shifts, she grows a pair of curving goat horns, and the sound of hooves can be heard as she walks. taking the form of a fey.

she holds up a hand and says. "whoever you are, I could care less." she says. "do you stand in our way, or will you see reason? she says. "all your brethren have fallen to me, easily. As you can clearly see. she says, waving a hand at the two undead giants. I Imagine you don't want to share that fate. as she says this, she draws her whip and a second rod. unlike the other one, this one is red, designed to resemble flames.

before
Celestia sighs, "Well, that's the last time today i can unleash such flames... unless we take time to rest, i wont be able to prey for spells until sunset."

she looks at Gramaton for a moment... remaining silent.

later

celestia pokes one of the burnt corpses, and pulls out annother gem, casting a spell Casting animate dead, this one just a Zombie giant, rather than a flaming skeleton
black smoke envolops the corpse, and it stands up, lurching slowly as it stood. now celesta had two giant bodyguards...

unfortunately this also means i cant raise any more undead until one of the two i have dies. together they max out my max control HD. other than that, he's a Frost giant with the zombie template.

Celestia growls and commands her Flaming Skeleton forward, it camt figure out what to do however, and stands there idly.

Celestia then points her staff at the five giants and says. You wanna play at range eh? Fine then, let's play at range, BURN! she pulls out a rod and wills divine magic though it, calling apon the flames of vengeance she brings apon the giant's heads a Flamestrike.
maximized Flamestrike: 84 = 84(14d6 max=84) hell rains apon the giants as Celestia gladly returns their attack, Tenfold.
DC Reflex 22 for half, plus any vulnerability that Frost giants have to fire.

Fun fun, more lambs to the slaughter...

Celestia Huffs moves forward.

Well I'm pretty sure he broke out of it when the deity took control... But if not then Celestia is definitely not gonna maintain the control

Celestia scoffs. "Any man who thinks they can control me will find out sooner or later... They made quite the mistake." she says, "Now let us find the Torc! I wish to be rid of thie scumbag demonworshiper." she says, spitting her words at Ice-veins.

Yes, with 2 healers (I can spontaneously cast healing) a Brawler, and a Cavalier I do believe the best thing to do would be to get a high damage output/crippler.

If you can throw a fistfull of sneakattacl dice that would be splendid :P

Im sure Celestia won't have any issue. She's already dominated a man, annihilated a camp of frost giants, and convinced a god to spare her...

I'm more than sure I don't even have to make that check, I'll pass straight through the door as if it didn't even exist :P

Hehe... charisma door...

Oof, that's gotta suck if there was a barbarian in thw group

Big, Dumb, and ugly cannot come in!

Now hold on, another cleric who will scoff at my giant flaming skeleton!?! Come on, what's with all these undead haters, hell, I'm 100% sure Celestia would go vampire if she could, Just to enhance her ability to control others.

Not that I'm complaining, Haha,

Honestly with how I'm playing Celestia, her Stark contrast is my ROW character.

Celestia is a very flamboyant selfish spellcaster who thinks before exicuting her expert plans... While Zak the feral is a Ragged, ugly Brawler who charges into battle furosiously, grabbing enemies and forcing them into thw ground. Defending those who he calls allies with a great and fervorous roar!

Haha!

If Zak met Celestia it would probably result in a clash, Probably with Celestia getting a new pet...

Well, Im sure Celestia will be more than happy to call the heavens and hells that serve Calistra fourth to accomplish her goals, so long as she's honoring her code and doing so in the name of revenge. If my promise is broken, then he will have full right to retaliate. However if he breaks his terms first, I have no worries to call apon the Savored Sting and unleash Doom apon those who have wronged me.

It might actually be during the Reign of wintet game :P as revenge is best served cold... And by that time Celestia would have had plenty of time to gather an undead and slave army, marching fourth and unleashing it apon one demon lord would be easy. Esspecialy since she can dominate lower level necromancers, have them control undead, create undead, ect. Untill I hold and my command an army that would make Ssazz Tam Jealous.

I don't believe there is a limit to the number of creatures I can have dominated, and then they are only limited to doing things not overtly against their nature. Necromancers would never object to doing necromancy, and I'm more than sure they wouldn't mind sitting back with me... I don't even have to dominate them all, hehehe...

If you haven't noticed, Im following Calistra's Antipalidan code for the most part.

My life is my path, and none will sway me from it.
I devote myself to the pursuit of my passions.
I take what I desire, by trick or by force. If others resent my actions, they may attempt to take vengeance against me.
All slights against me will be repaid tenfold.
I am the instrument of my own justice. If I am wronged, I will take vengeance with my own hands.

So, by all rights, He has already called apon my vengeance.. it's all just a matter of time
He didn't just tell Calistra that thw Torc has the power to control him, ir at least that it can be used ti influence him.

Celestia scowls at the former vessel of a god. Your lord decided to pay us a visit... she says. He was mad at me taking initiative... And the deal has changed. I am to let you take the Torc, Without objection she says looking ti the others in the group

The way she says it hints at something, but if Ice-veins did notice, then she didn't suspect it mattered. I'm sure though, if my goddess thought it a a great quest to send me on this joiney, and do nothing to aid me then there must be something else. I'm not sure I see bigger picture...

Celestia sighs, having at least evaded the wrath of a good for now... However she knows this could only lead to disaster. "I give my word as a lady of the Savored Sting, I will do nothing to impeed you further" She says.

She curses in her mind, knowing that if she broke her word that a very, very cruel fate awaited her...

Celestia shakes off the fear and growls.I have no intention of seducing a god, much less one as you. I know Baba Yaga betrayed you and turned you into what you are now, and that you seek revenge on her. You seek out the Torc because, as your devoted servant so kindly told us, you wish to be to return your old body while keeping your power."

With a steady, if shaken tone, Celestia steps forward and does her best to explain "As a follower of Calistra, A goddess who believes all deserve a chance to take revenge on those who have wronged them, I have no obligation to take your revenge away. Infact, I might as well encourage it!" she says, taking the Demon-lord's side. "And know that I am no friend to the white witch or her kin. If I was, I would have never even accepted a task given to me by one of your followers."

She stiffles through her words, spouting them as they came, saying what she could without much thought. "If what my deity's own messenger has told me is true, The kin of Baba Yaga, or perhaps Baba Yaga herself intends on you taking the Torc. They plot to have your follower take it, and make retrieving it all the easier."

With one final breath she lays down her proposal. "So, I only wish to hide The Torc from those intending to further Baba Yaga's plans. If I am stopped by you, than you only further to aid your greatest enemy." she strains to stop her quivering voice. "And so by allowing me to hide the Torc until their plans can be learned of and foiled, I am Taking steps into stopping The Witch and her kin. What to an Immortal is one year, perhaps 2? What is a century to one who has eternity? Can your plan not wait so long as the wait is spent Foiling those who wronged you?
"If you allow us to progress I will release your follower and we will retrieve the Torc. However, in order to prevent the White witches from laying their cold, vile hands on it, I intend to hide it somewhere they will never travel. Once that has been done, and their attention pointed elsewhere, I will be more than happy to help you! For what am I to deny the Revenge you so greatly deserve?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39At this point I dought he is attracted to me, but +2 if it matters... Also, none of that is a lie.

Rules as written:

Frightened: Characters who are frightened are shaken, and in addition they flee from the source of their fear as quickly as they can. They can choose the paths of their flight. Other than that stipulation, once they are out of sight (or hearing) of the source of their fear, they can act as they want. If the duration of their fear continues, however, characters can be forced to flee if the source of their fear presents itself again. Characters unable to flee can fight (though they are still shaken).

Doesn't that mean I flee without taking any other action?

Celestia Init:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Celestia is extremely Suprised, and is unable to react very fast ... Ugh

Questions blow through her mind faster than she can move, she stands stunned, as she tries desperately to think of a way to placate the demon lord... Then a thought spins through her head... REVENGE.

she looks up to the man who's body was not his own, and frowns. All this demon wants Is his revenge against Baba Yaga, we are just pawns... But now we are in his way.
"WAIT!" She shouts, "I must explain!"

Oof, I feel like I've bitten off more than I can chew...

When you dominate someone who doesn't have a soul: You get their owner coming along asking for them back °-°

Uh oh...

Celestia reals back,
Will save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25+6 if it's mind effecting

Celestia brandishes her weapon, Cursing in elvish, something rarely heard. DEFEND YOURSELVES! she shouts to the others.

Woohoo! Man spooked me there for a second!

Then you deleted it T-T
Good thing I checked before posting a response

Celestia sighs, Yes, Artifacts are hard to destroy, but I'm more than sure a demon lord's followers can't stay on the plane of fire forever... she chuckles. Now seriously, Black-ice, Hand us all your magical equipment, state what each is and how to use it. Then you will be our new front fighter...

Celestia raises a brow. Well some of it was suprising, I expected a demon worshipper to be at least a bit more deceptive she chuckles.

But in all honesty it's good to know that at minimum he didnt intend to bertray us. Although I'm more than sure he wouldn't have agreed we hide it for the better of Galorian. she looks to the party and thinks for a moment. I don't believe it a good idea to let anyone have the Torc. Infact if it is so instrumental in this coming Ice age then we should destroy it... Hmmm

doh!

what good adventurer wouldn't be wary of such a situation?

Celestia nods, Good judgement, Svartokshe tell us everything you know of your task here, why does your master really want the veil, and what other lies have you told us? she questions the man, knowing full well he had no choice but to tell the truth.
