Cloudia's page

Please remove Cloudia from the characters on this forum. I'm giving up my position to the crusader.

Not a problem. I have removed myself from RPG Chronicles and giving the slot to you.

I can make room for you xXCrusaderXx. I am already in a half dozen games and would not mind having you roll on in instead of me. How does that sound?

Looks like you need a caster. Cloudia will join.

Thanks.

Cloudia will spend the PP for Infernal.

Did you upload the chronicles?

Yea, us!

"I don't like to break promises and it doesn't sound like the society feels it is worth shelling out 5 grand so I don't think we should either. So I think we should return it. If the society wants to get it back, they know who they need to deal with."

Return to the venture captain and get guidance.

"Don't we have to return the book to that musician fellow? He seemed keen to get it back and if we don't... Well, Aurus will be out 5000gp and that just doesn't seem fair. Though I suppose we can see if the society will foot the bill in order to get the book."

W001! No spell resistance! Cloudia will try to ease Riceaks wounds with a heavenly fire. Do I need to overcome spell resistance?

healing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Unfortunately she already used it on Aurus so do I need to start wacking him with the CLW wand?

If I do not have to worry about another fight, then I can go whole hog on this!

Instead of using the wand of bless, Cloudia casts another magic missile spell on the red devil.

caster level check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
and fails. As pretty much expected. But she has a reroll and uses it.
caster level check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

mm damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 3) + 3 = 8

I'm running way low on spells. I have 2 first level spells and one second level spell left and I think we have the main battle to go to. I'm really low on options unless I want to break out the haste scroll which I'd rather save with this battle nearing completion. Besides with the spell resistance they have I'm not feeling particularly optimistic about landing any spells on them anyway. I could do a heavenly fire and heal someone for a tad bit. But I'm trying to save that to stop the bleeding when the fight is over. Though I suppose that with enough charges, a wand of CLW would eventually work if he doesn't bleed out first and I make my activation rolls or Riceak is still up. Is Riceak really at 2 HP? I thought he was just healed by the channel.

Cloudia refreshes the bless from her wand which must be running out soon and steps into a flank with Aurus on Yellow after dropping her wand and taking a two handed grip on her longspear and threatening the devil with it.

The eagle glides forward 5' into a flank with Riceak and unleashes another flurry of probably useless attacks.

to hit, bless, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 19
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

to hit, bless, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 10
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

to hit, bless, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 20
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Riceak should step between yellow and Aurus to prevent him from attacking him again, or at least discourage it.

Right. I forgot that the MM strike was this round. she still finishes her round with that 5' step though.

Cloudia hammers yellow with a DC 16 color spray

caster level check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Which I'm assuming fails? And moves over to eventually get into a flank. Her longspear makes that difficult. Speaking of which, she is not carrying her usual wand of magic missiles since they would peter of vs. the spell resistance anyway. Right now she is just carrying her wand of bless.

Riceak should move over too to make room for Aurus so that he will not get flanked. What are Aurus bonuses with a smite active? If they beat a flank he will attack yellow dude.

Does Nemrok more anywhere?

I think Aurus was still airborn when the devils moved and has to land this round. But I'll take it if you give it to me. Aurus in front of us is much better than Aurus airborn and having to get inside their reach weapons without dying! Say, did any of them move past Aurus and draw an AoO?

Cloudia finishes up her summoning and sics a celestial eagle on orange to provide Aurus (and the eagle) a flank.

to hit smite, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 24
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

to hit smite, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 8
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

to hit smite, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 20
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Cloudia unloads a Magic Missile spell on Orange, red, Yellow in that order of preference.

caster level check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 1) + 3 = 8

Where she moves to depends on the results of her eagle's and her attacks. she will probably try to block the flank if Riceak does not, though all we need is another bleeder! Aurus actions also depend on the results and whether Nemrok blocks the flank or moves into a flank with him.

Cloudia stays out of sight and begins a summon monster I spell.

He could kill them off without risk if he just keeps sniping them. The problem is, that is just not Aurus. Now that the books have been joined he would feel free to commit suicide. Ugh. What do the rest of you think? Let Aurus be Aurus, or have him actually do the wise thing? And Cloudia, being Cloudia, would rush out to help if Aurus engaged.

Dang. I had hoped that the light would stop the bleed effect. In that case I'm not sure Cloudia should use her ability on Aurus yet anyway, unless he stays out of melee, and unless Cloudia can do this without being seen. Because if she is seen she is dead meat.

I could have sworn he icon was placed on the roof. No matter.

Cloudia uses her ability to heal Aurus when and if she can get him within range, though I'm not sure how to make that happen.

caster level check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
healing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Perhaps a bluff roll to pass a secret message by tapping on the wall?

bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Cloudia does peek over the top when she sees the odd light shining off the parts she can see.

He is a bit ambitious.

Cloudia waits. And waits.

And Cloudia has not used her heavenly fire on him yet and that might cure the bleeding too.

Still not daring to cast a spell, knowing it will reveal her, she remains where she is.

Cloudia stifles a giggle in a panic, very worried that she will be discovered.

No, he will go 20' west, 10' up and 10'down. total of 40' with no greater than a 45 degree altitude change.

Cloudia stays hidden and prays.

15' east and 15' up is a 45 degree angle and should not require a fly check. Any more than that would though. I think he can do that with the 60' fly speed even with the turn. I don't think Aurus would spend time on healing since he is being healed by Riceak and downing one of these things would be a great boon and, if he gets hit again, he would need to do a lay on of hands to remove the bleed again. I think he will keep shooting as long as he is not nearing dangerous HP territory and try to remove the bleeding after the battle with his LoH.

Cloudia remains out of sight, hoping to remain unnoticed.

Oh Cloudia, I'm assuming bless is up as well?

Correct, and staying out of sight.

If it is cash it can be a group buy. Don't know about PP though. I don't think you can pool PP for purchases. But we can all pitch in on the invisibility.

I think we've delayed long enough. Unless someone objects here is the plan.

The group buys a scroll of invisibility and Nemrok uses it on himself and sneaks up to the book to do the deed. The group buys a scroll of levitate and Cloudia casts levitate and bull's strength on Aurus, lifting him up so that he is out of reach once he is in the alley with a line of sight on the book. Aurus starts pelting them with arrows and Nemrok moves in. The rest of us keep out of sight and move in if things get dangerous.

Well, time to go in character to suggest something.

"Say, Nemrok, you seem to be the most knowledgeable of us. If we were to distract them, do you think you could slip in and try to neutralize the books by putting them together? I'd rather try to avoid an all out fight like the last one. Any ideas how to get them to leave the book without getting ourselves killed? An illusion or something?"

OK, so question. Is the only thing we need to do is put the covers together? No rites or anything? Would it be enough for someone to just sneak up on the book and slap them together?

How about a scrying spell so we can scout out where they are and maybe get a surprise round on them? Is there one in core that could be used? Clairvoyance is a third level spell and a bit pricey so maybe not, but if you are willing to spend those PP that might be a good idea.

So it sounds like we need to get that other book back from the demons. I suggest we toss some big prep spells into this. Cloudia can cast haste from a scroll, case bull's strength on someone, and has a few scrolls of protection from evil, though none of these will last long. Some of you may want to get a false life scroll and use it, even if you have to use UMD.

Totally forgot about that!

"Well, the first thing is to go back, better prepared, and try to get that book back. Right?!"

Sure. Cloudia will pick up a scroll of Summon Swarm. A nice situational spell.

During the trip back Cloudia has been very quiet but as they travel her hearing returns.

"Say something, Someone! The ringing has stopped."

Any chance at buying something en route? I'm thinking Nemrok (or someone with a descent UMD) might want a False Life or Mirror Image scroll considering how intense the combats have been.

Before she can stop herself, she asks, "What's that?" but then realizes that whatever he says she isn't going to know anyway. She can always asks someone later!

[b]"Well, if he likes music, perhaps my flute might satisfy him."[/b

Cloudia takes her masterwork flute to the man and presents it.

Cloudia only has about 500 gp, which is a fortune to her.

Cloudia observes Nemrok rooting through his purse and counting coins.

"Would someone tell me what is going on?"

She takes out here handy dandy pathfinder notebook and pencil and waves it around meaningfully.

Cloudia has a masterwork flute she might be able to trade, if she knew what was going on.

Cloudia looks like the mentally challenged one, standing there with a blank look on her face, staring intently at peoples mouths as she tries to snag a work here or there.
