Sorry for not posting any for a long time. I got caught with no internet and have had troubling posting in my games. I am also having to juggle quite a lot of things at home, I do not think I'll be able to continue playing in this game. It has been a good time, since all the way back in carrion crown. Anyway, have fun guys.
Leaving at the first sign of trouble, some ally we have in that harpy... Cerana turns to the rest of the group. "Any idea how we can track Kikono down now? We gave it our best shot but the man is quite powerful on his own let alone with minions on his side. We got the jump on him this time I doubt we will be able to again, and even if we do we don't have much to counter the magic he has. I'm open to suggestions here, I doubt he'll let us leave here peacefully now."
@Marlon: By doing something about the mooks I block you all getting to Kikino which is why I used the spell on Kikino. That failed tremendously as I can't affect him. So I'm fine sitting out of the fight since I don't have the feats to support crossbow fighting or using rays at the minute. All of those attacks will be at tremendous negatives, I'll just full defense till we get out of here.
It's fine, I just have no way to make him fail a reflex save what with my highest DC save being 18? So I'm kind of stuck doing nothing as grease will do nothing as well. Consider the DC of that is 16 and his save is ABOVE that. (Out of curiousity what CR is he?) @Yix: Neither are mine.
Not to clutter up the thread with more OOC stuff. Yea I was just slowing him down so we can catch up, or that was the aim anyway. Dayum his reflex save is 18?! Okay ignore me for the rest of the fight as no-way I can force him to fail a save with it being that high. Just assume I'm full defending, I'll post an action or two if I get attacked or the situation changes.
Cerana follows her friends but stays in full defense not wanting to cast more spells that might cause problems for those attacking Kikono.
Cerana is already bracing for impact so just shields her eyes as the flash goes out. She keeps bracing as she's give all the support she can.
Cerana's spell of making Marlon large triggers and Marlon increases in size. Cerana then assumes a defensive position.
Cerana begins casting enlarge person on Marlon, standing in place to finish the casting due to the more complex design needed in it's power. "He is resonating something, step back after attacking him Hijiro and Yix if you can!'
Nah it's fine, I just find it odd even saying that as other games I've played (i.e. not pathfinder) with same initiative rules don't have that problem but I don't mind running it like that.
From her poised stance Cerana becomes visible and casts Colour spray on Kikono. Hoping he is actually capable of being affected.
Cerana will hide with invisibility just before the trap will be sprung.
"Yes, but enemy of my enemy might still be my enemy." Joining in with Zeema, Cerana asks Zaiobe: "I presume you are trying to get your voice back from us killing Kikino, what guarantee do you have that you won't just us it on us?"
I have a bad feeling about this. Cerana doesn't like this one bit, she keeps a keeps the incantations for create pit ready in her mind. Just in case anything were to go wrong. She casts mage armour before entering the room. Finally she does but keeps on eye on everything eyes darting around the room out of paranoia.
Cerana tilts her head, "Away from the Harpy I take it. I trust her as much as I trust Kikino which is to say very little."
Gorag and Marlon: "It has been a while then, I take it life has changed you for the better since you moved away?" Cerana smiles, her worries alleviating slightly. The talk with Marlon is doing her good, oddly talking about life has calmed her nerves somewhat.
Gorag and Marlon: "I was the librarian and caretaker to Koya's mother, Mrs.Mvashti. I spent much of time in the old mansion. You probably only saw me a couple times if at all if you lived in Sandpoint. I must confess I barely left the house." Cerana says as she leans her back on a wall.
Gorag and Marlon: Cerana looks at Marlon curiously "Sorry does my decision bother you Marlon? Forgive me something talking through my mind is unsettling. Tell me Marlon I do not know much about you. I am acquainted with Gorag however. Where did you work in town?" she asks Marlon trying to shift some of her worry of her friends away.
Cerana follows the group only part of the way and let's them carry on. She doesn't follow the group into the formerly haunted room instead opting to stay outside. She still doesn't trust the harpy and nothing it has said changes that. Cerana is worried about her friends however and is staying nearby just in case.
Cerana doesn't make any movement towards the creature.
She says something in Sylvan then turns to Gorag and says something in Draconic. Sylan:
Sunny, dearie, what benefit does the Harpy gain from actually helping us? I doubt much if anything at all, I think she is likely tricking us with aid, then will turn her back on us or just outright lie about the situation we're in. If you want to trust her go ahead. I am not following you into the lion's mouth. Cerana is relaxed though keeps Zaiobe in view. Draconic: "I am beginning to wonder what this creature wants, if it knows Kikino and our involvement with him it means it has been watching us already. Furthermore it wants to give us information about our 'host', I am guessing this information will be false and will spell more trouble for us. If Kikino disliked this Harpy wouldn't he have tried to do away with her already? More and more this is smelling like a trap to me, laced with sweet honey.
Cerana is more than happy just to let her walk away. Not really wanting to talk to or follow something that could affect her mind quite so easily. Nothing about the situation seems safe, so she let's the Harpy be.
Oh this is problematic...I have nothing to shut out my ears She walks beside Yix and talks in sylan, unsure of this creature. Sylvan:
"Yix dearie to clarify, that is a harpy, known for their ability to captivate potential targets in song. That is what I am worried about. Harpies are known to prey on intelligent food before killing and eating them. I do not want to be made into a meal and I fear it may be leading us that way." Cerana shakes her head. Sylan:
"I am not a good judge of character, would you be? She gives Yix a nudge.
Hmm what is this creature, another corby? Or wait is it a Siren? Cerana muses over what the creature is before answering it.
"Yes it was yesterday, though let us move on from here there is little else. Why don't we enter the adjacent room?"
"Yea upstairs sounds good." Cerana says as she stretches a little after reading up on her spells for the day. Closing the spellbook and putting the quill away.
"Where ever we do sleep in this place would it be wise to keep a watch rotation?" Cerana asks.
Cerana nods "I wonder if there is empty room about this place or a safe area of some kind."
"Sometimes you can't predict what your enemy is like but we lived so I guess it isn't all bad. Where to next then?" Cerana takes in the surrounding past the exit of the room they were just in.
Famous gourmet, that eats people. I guess we are all made of meat but I'd rather not think on that. Cerana walks around the table a little bit shaking off her heightened mood from the prior battle. "Er so .. Muthilda, you say you are a cook. Is that just for yourself or someone else in this lovely pace?"
Cerana continues to brace for any impact that might ensue hoping her friends have the ogrekin handled.
Cerana continues to defend.
Cerana seems visibly disappointed. This is what I get for spending 50 years in a library with no experience. Oh whatever! Cerana just pulls out her staff and goes into full defense as she feels that she won't be able to hit anything in the large melee that is about to ensue.
If everyone is in position Cerana takes Hijiro's hand and starts to dance with him. While doing so weaving a spell between her fingers and unleashes her spell trying to take the Ogrekin into the floor.
Cerana twirls away continuing the play taking Hijiro hands and interlacing her fingers between his. Her back towards Yix. She begins to whisper a couple of words in other languages until she spots either of her companions ears perk up.
Cerana changes her tone of her voice pretending to say something romantic in sylvan to Hijiro, just loud enough for Yix to hear. She's actually saying "I can create a large pit beneath her feet, if she falls in with you guys around her you've got the jump on her." After that she leans into Hijiro saying "Oh my love, Eduardo" She pretends to give him a kiss on the cheek and instead whispers in common the last thing she said in Sylvan.
What in the world is that cat doing..? Yix then points to Cerana. I... he wants me to play a female lead in a play?! Wait, this could be fun. Cerana looks around confused for a second, then twirls elegantly between Marlon and Hijiro. She takes Marlon's hand though she poses turning to look at Hijiro with an alluring look in her eyes and a sweet smile. Thank god for reading all those acting books, I hope whatever plan this cat is doing works. This is slightly embarrassing.
After what Yix says Cerana rolls her eyes. Let's hope that isn't Kikono watching us through a crystal ball or something equally as inane. She whispers "Let's go through that closed door then, cautiously. The other door just gets us back outside doesn't it?" Cerana motions towards the closed door and starts to make her way towards it. Opening it as stealthily as she can if no-one else does.
Cerana nods at Gorag "Sounds good, let's continue on in this creepy place."
"I er.. I don't know. That sounds like delusions to me. Sorry my name is Cerana. Most know me as the librarian or caretaker to Koya's mother. Let me have a think on that phrase."
"Regardless of the ramifications of what Ameiko is saying at the very least whatever caused her to faint is making her say some very odd things. Might give us an idea to what is going on." Cerana says continuing on a speculation tangent. She then whispers to Yix and Zeema, trying not to let Kikono hear. "Though to be fair it could be quite literal, this home of Brinewall castle, to Ameiko anyway, was unreachable to her. Even now since she fell unconcious, there is a vault that we do know of in this castle. Likely this vault is guarding a treasure behind two seals. What opens these two seals? I don't know yet. Cuckoo could refer to the Corbies? Or maybe something bigger? I feel I don't have much to go on yet." She scratches her head a little. Maybe I'm over thinking this.. though in the past day I have seen a play done by a crazy person involving blood thirsty corbies. I'll expect anything at this point...
Currently we're in another room just having killed an apparition. The party was called to where I presume you guys are. That was what Kikono meant by 'visitors'. Though we haven't actually left to go meet you yet since some of the party wish to investigate this current room. Hopefully we'll get there soon.
"Well I don't think the apparition will come back, rather I hope not." She then helps Sunny look around the room as she doubts the other elf will leave until they have.
Cerana is honestly surprised that there are more visitors to this dangerous place. "Every is alright I pray?" She asks turning to her friends while unsummoning the creature. "I am guessing that the apparition now slain will leave this place, not entirely sure but I wonder. I personally thing we should follow him now otherwise he'll lose interest in us. No idea what would follow if we were to let that happen." Cerana muses
Sorry have been travelling and things are a bit hectic atm, will post as soon as I can. Just for combat repeat my last turn. Acid orb and attack with summon.
