Corynne's page

Alice was barely standing, and now Miselle was in danger. Given how hard that thing hit, they were both in substantial danger. Securing her focus to let the spirits aiding her to continue ferrying papers up to Az, she races over to a position behind the golem sending a blast of supernatural energy at the creature.

Ranged(touch): Manipulate Undeath (ghost strike): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
1d8 ⇒ 5 Harms undead

We're waiting on me? Crap! Sorry.

With an expression of will, Corynne commands the spirits working to aid her, directing them to maintain the steady stream of papers up to Az.

Free action. Spend 1 pt. Sustained force for next 3 minutes

same question. Can I maintain this as a sustained force move action by spending a spell point or is it my ongoing standard?

Far more accustomed with the howling of agitated spirits than her companions, Corynne continues her work to save the evidence, her spiritual entourage nonetheless responding to the disturbance, her hair whipping around as if in a windstorm, while a disonnant hum of displeasure rises around her.

Um El, on this board you use [dice] dear

Wincing at the vicious blow she sees Alice take, Corynne focuses on saving the evidence, directing a few of her itinerant spirits to move the papers out of reach.

Move within range. Telekinesis to float papers up to catwalk in a steady stream. Will maintain concentration (unless I get punched in the face)

The golem's a mech

As Alice takes off, Corynne follows as quickly as she can, her attention focused on the evidence that the workers clearly seek to destroy.

If full run is an option will do so to get within 'close' rance

Where are they on the map? I need to make sure I stay within range.

Could I use sustained force to have the papers neatly stacking themselves in a corner?

"That would probably be best." Corynne said distractedly after a bit. The ghostwhisperer seemed both present and not at the same time, her gaze locked on the shadowy trail, constantly aware of the spiritual disturbances it created.

As the others stand watch, paying attention to the surrounding area, Corynne focuses her breathing, calming both herself and the spirits around her enough to quell the edge of their agitation.

Conjuring up the memories of the dark roiling shadow energy of the Bleak Gate she reaches out into the ether, reaching her senses out for tendrils of that dark energy, feeling for it’s presence in the area. For minutes she is completely still, the air dirt and ground around her increasingly disturbed as her spirits react to the powerful ritual at play.

Cast Detect Planar Energy (Bleak Gate Shadow Energy)

Okay so this is the Detect Planar Energy spell, right? Just making sure. It says a plane you've been to before so that would either be the Ethereal Plane, whatever we passed through when we had that weird Fey blip, or the weird Shadowman energy I got exposed to when I snooped in the doctor's place and when we fought him.

"It might be time for me to try Gale's spell....see if there's some sort of extraplanar energy involved." Corynne says a bit more loudly than normal, as if trying to speak over a noisy room full of people.

"It...it's almost as if the oil itself is in pain somehow, but I don't detect either magic or anything from the other side in it. Maybe some sort of semi-sentient ooze?" Corynne says, frowning slightly as if concentrating in a very noisy room.

Corynne seems to stare intently at the oil itself. "So much pain....the wailing.....the suffering..."

With divination for undead stil active she studies at the oil. She'll also use divination to detect magic

Corynne opens her awareness to the supernatural realm, pushing past the dread to sense the underlying energy.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Spend 1 pt Ghost sight
Divine Undead
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

"The engine grease scent aside, I'm concerned by multiple people having 'uneasy feelings' in the same area. That can often be a sign of spiritual activity or at least something that is agitating local spirits in the area." Corynne mentions, picking up and buttering a piece of toast with a careful deliberateness.

"Of course we'll help her Az, if we can't make things safe for our loved ones...." she trails off, a momentary haunted look passing in her eyes. The stone on her necklace seems to pulse with a glimmer of light for a moment, the young ghost whisperer tilting her head for a moment as if listening to something before a small smile comes across her lips, whatever was bothering her cast aside.

I've got the opening line to Smells like Teen Spirit kicking around in my head because of everyone's prep choices.

I think I'm the only one without a gun at this point.

Yep

With at least one tech based nation I'd think closer to commonplace than emerging.

2,500gp

Wand of Protection from Evil 750 gp
two CLW potions, CL 1 (100 gp)
Undeath aid kit :This small leather satchel contains various alchemical remedies that treat common maladies caused by exposure to undead. An undeath aid kit contains 1 dose of each of the following alchemical remedies: antiplague, antitoxin, padzahr, soul stimulant, and twitch tonic. (500)

"Both for trouble from this world and the other." Corynne adds, thinking of their recent encounter.

"At this point, the resources of an accounting team would probably get further than we ever could." Corynne says with a yawn.

Very cool. And yeah, apparently a few of my abilities don't allow a save.

So this should bulk up both offense and defense while keeping the spirit of being haunted/protected by the spirit world.

Level 3
+1 BAB
+1 Will save
+1 Spellpool
7 Skill points (Diplomacy,Knowledge Arcana , *Knowledge Local , , *Knowledge Planes , *Knowledge Religion, Heal, Perception)
2 Background skills (Knowledge History, Perform Dance)

New Revelation (Phantom touch)
Phantom Touch (Su): As a standard action, you can perform a melee touch attack that causes a living creature to become shaken. This ability lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your oracle level (minimum 1 round). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. At 5th level, the target instead becomes frightened, and at 7th level, the target becomes panicked.

+1 Magic talent (Manipulate Undeath (ghost strike) [Core])
You may make a ghost strike that harms undead, dealing 1d8 damage per 2 caster levels (minimum: 1d8, Will half). You may spend a spell point to instead heal the undead for this amount.

Feat: Extra Magic Talent
Catch Shield
By spending a spell point as a standard action, for one round plus one round per three caster levels you may use Catch on projectiles once per round without readying an action. Any objects you catch in this way drop to the ground at the beginning of your next turn if you do not concentrate on them normally or spend a spell point to maintain telekinesis with Sustained Force. You cannot have more than one catch shield active at any one time.

And my touch generating escalating fear effects just lives up to the name "Spooky" could even be that before now physical contact with me can sometimes give people goosebumps if I'm in the wrong mood. heh

In addition to swapping out Automatic writing for Brain Drain

"She makes a point that once our superiors know the documents are there, the decision to read them may not be up to us. "Corynne chimes in.

Thanks!

I'm thinking I'll see if it can work with Oracle just retooled a bit, dropping Automatic writing since it's pretty useless, for something useful like brain drain, and taking Phantom Touch this level. (in theme with the Ghost touch abilities)

Phantom Touch (Su): As a standard action, you can perform a melee touch attack that causes a living creature to become shaken. This ability lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your oracle level (minimum 1 round). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. At 5th level, the target instead becomes frightened, and at 7th level, the target becomes panicked.

I'm limited to what's in the SRD since I don't own any of the SOP material. I'll see what options can enhance my combat ability.

Thanks, I'll get things done tonight.

Okay I'll take a look into those options and get leveled later today.

I may need to retool as well. Corynne feels woefully ineffective, bordering on useless mechanically. Which sucks because I enjoy the character thematically.

Corynne turns, ready to aid Miselle's escape she calls upon the power of the spirit world, the ability of the dead to sap the living of vitality.

Readied action to target first living opponent to approach Miselle
Exhausting strike(ranged touch): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Fatigued DC 15 fort save reduces duration to 1 round

Now able to take her time, Corynne takes a few moments, focusing on quelling the spirits around her before beginning to crawl through the collapse as carefully as possible.

Escape artist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

"Thanks." Corynne says breathessly. "Never been that great in a chase.....on either side of it."

Sorry, had a rough couple days.

Been an extremely busy couple of days.

Especially something that doesn't qualify as an attack and therefore negates Sanctuary

Taking a deep breath, Corynne quickly grabs a scroll, activating the magic within it and feeling the magic settle around her. Then she runs, trying to keep up with her far fitter companions.

Cast Sanctuary

Fort: 1d20 ⇒ 9 Of course

So is everyone opting for the fort save? If I don't have either the doctor or the papers with me, there's no point to splitting off from everyone else is there?

Definitely towards town. I've got a better chance going with Acrobatics over fort but if the consensus is to stay together, I'm fine with it. It seems like pretty much everything we're facing is some sort of undead and all my attacks use negative energy.

Yes but you've also clearly displayed TPK possible tendencies so....

Throw everything at them while running. Against the living I can be way more effective, we've got thunder stones, fun types of ammo that can slow down pursuit. If absolutely necessary we'll call Gale but we'll leave that as the nuclear option.

They were always there with her, the entourage of spirits that surrounded her, some helpful or beneficial, others less so, holding onto resentment of their deaths, or just plain bored. That was when things tended to get....difficult.

Taking a deep breath, she tries to stealthily follow her companions through.

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 You just had to say that didn't you?

Bit a bad idea

Hope things get better soon, she has my best wishes.

"I'd take the hidden passage over the chimney honestly. If whoever is out there is twisted enough he might just have someone on the roof ready to drop something down to smoke us out." Corynne comments. "Besides, which I far form the best climber."

Sorry been busy

"The alternative is being the martyrs that launch a war between the RHC and whoever this charming fellow is." Corynne says calmly.
