HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

How much gold am I due? Don't want any of the loot.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

"We thought perhaps you have a favorite animal you'd like to request to be changed into." Curnach says grimly.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

In the absence of any truly mighty foe, Curnach stuck to his conservative nature and spent the rest of the fight hurling fire bolts from the air.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Curnach saw little need to use his magic further on the disabled, laughing man. His incredibly keen eyes scanned the battlefield for further mantis assassins launching a secondary attack or Shoanti in need of saving.

Perception: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

And Krojun misses. Snicker snicker.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Whatever creature it was that threatened one of the few friends his group had managed to make in this cesspit of chaos and tribalism, Curnach was not interested in allowing it to finish Krojun off.

Focusing the power he drew from the powers of the Green Faith, drawing magic from the very air around him, Curnach forced his will onto the creature, attempting to turn it into a simple hedgehog.

Persistent Baleful Polymorph, two DC24 Fort saves (take the lowest), two DC24 Will save if failed, (take the lowest).


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Curnach has no weapon in hand.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

Irritated by the attack more than fearful, Curnach threw a fireball into the tent while clutching one of his magical rods. The cascading fireball filled the tent with fire but darted around his allies.

Fireball Damage: 11d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 6, 1, 3, 1, 1, 6, 2, 2) = 34

Reflex save DC23 for half damage.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Ready. Few small changes.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Irritated by the task, Curnach fed the others from his stash of goodberries. Utterly disdaining Sial's help, once his totem had been placed within the circular depression he used a Wall of Stone spell to create detachable stone supports for the totems and offered the same to his companions while doing so.

He spent the time meditating, pondering, relaxing and sleeping between the moments when the totems needed to be moved to differing locations. At the end of the trial, he used Transmute Rock to Mud in order to remove and destroy his supports.

I'll need a chance to re-prepare spells this evening after work.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

As a player not an issue. Just RPing Curnach.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

If Curnach was pleased at the prospect of another test, the glare and cold fury visible in his eyes and barely kept in check did not attest to it.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Curnach stood stoically at Jerin's shoulder, meeting the glares of the Shoanti warriors fearlessly as he held aloft the squirrel; as much a warning as a showcasing.

The squirrel should not be able to transmute back into its original form without a spell?


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Curnach's answer was no less blunt.

They are allies of circumstance; and not choice. They seek to bring down the Queen of Korvosa as well... but for their own reasons and motives. I do not trust them. I will see them purged from Varisia and sent on their way, or destroyed.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Hence the whispering.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

I disagree. You fulfilled their trial and they will not doubt the word of their Truthspeaker. A truly spectacular trial for a spectacular prospective Shoanti.

Leaning closer, Curnach said in a quieter tone.

With some Shoanti seeking to attack Korvosa... This feat will give them pause. It was good to assert our utter dominance over this fearsome beast. The Truthspeaker need not know it was I who transmuted it; take the credit should it help your case.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Petting his new pet, Curnach turned to Jerin.

This is your plan, my Desna-marked friend. Lead on.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

... don't remember asking for a vote on this? Its more to use against the Queen's army or as a backup contingency. Not to throw against the queen herself.

Incidentally, DM you may want to look up the word consecutive- Krenn needs to make three checks in a row. When i'm not travelling i'll look into how Curnach would help him make that third save though.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

I have no intention of leaving it. Krenn, Llyra, Jerin, meet our trump card...

Now, Jerin. Lets satisfy this Truthspeaker. You have performed his ridiculous trial.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Not planning on controlling it... just tactically unleashing it. Plus True Form will give it back its destructive personality and instincts :D.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

I thought you might all like to note the spell Curnach's been preparing and see the possible implications it has for his new pet squirrel.

The queen's forces will be in for a nasty surprise.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Do not harm it! a somewhat singed Curnach bellowed, as he flew down and carefully scooped up the squirrel before it got very far.

DM can you roll the will saves to see if its personality is preserved? Might be important. Still at DC24.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Round 3 Action-

Impressed by the resilience of the worm, Curnach still refused to abandon his plan. He had prepared a marginally less powerful spell of the same transmutation and he unleashed this upon Cindermaw as well.

Same as before, but DC24. Two saves.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

WIth the foul deed done, Curnach completed his most powerful spell, seeking to turn the gigantic worm into a harmless squirrel.

Info is above.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

I intend to do nothing until Jerin is swallowed. The moment he is, readied action to Persistent Heightened Baleful Polymorph once he emerges again. All saves at DC25, rolls twice for Fort then Will, takes the lower result for both.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Delay.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Not really fussed. Put Curnach somewhere central with Krenn.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Sure.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Directly above the horses. In a circle beneath us would be ideal. Not sure Jerin can really exercise that level of control without a means to communicate with them though.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

A nice plan Jerin. Theres no need for anyone to be on the ground when you summon the horses though... I'll see to it.

Casting-

Air Walk, Mass on Curnach, Krenn and Llyra Thus, we will be above the galloping horses being used as a trap. Curnach intends to be forty feet above ground.
Mass Feather Step on the party.
Barkskin- +4 natural armour bonus to Krenn.

Curnach clutched his most powerful magical rod, preparing the attempt to turn Cindermaw into a goat.

Got a DC25 Heightened Persistent Baleful Polymorph raring to go ;).


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

HP Roll: 1d8 + 1 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 5 + 1 = 10

Meh. Can't win em' all.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

I have prepared spells for just that contingency, friend. Curnach said with a smile.

Echolocation and Burrow, if necessary.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

I'm counting on gaining a greater standing by slaying it, rather than merely surviving.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Whatever you wish. Frankly i'm expecting to end Cindermaw with a Persistent Baleful Polymorph.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Curnach has Resist Fire 10 anyway.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Hearing that the beast had an affinity to fire, Curnach prepared a rather different spell list than his usual repertoire.

Ready to proceed.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Warrior of Korvosa... Curnach muttered under his breath.

Jerin- what do we actually know of this Cindermaw? I would appreciate the opportunity to prepare myself accordingly.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Will wait for resolution of Jerin's stuff.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

It is completely trivial for Jerin to teleport to a city and pick up a scroll or potion. But I think Llyra can prepare it :).


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

As soon as time permits, Curnach will cast Reincarnate on Krenn's body. He will do this in solitude, not entirely comfortable using the powerful magic with others close by.

As Krenn's soul entered the newly created Half-Orc's body, Curnach was there with a soothing voice to welcome him back to the world of the living.

I know your condition must be a shock Krenn... But you are still needed in the struggle. I am sure your not ready to lay down arms just yet?


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Re: Reincarnate, I'm personally of the opinion that once the roll is made, we should not be looking for ways around it.

HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Jerin is right. Everybody out- now.

HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

I'm back.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Didn't know Krenn automatically hated Orc's and Half-Orc's...


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Just thought i'd roll that now in case the game moved to it while i'm writing dissertation.

I had leaned towards reincarnation because A- Cheaper and B- Feasible at our level.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Once Curnach casts Reincarnate, Krenn will come back as a...

Reincarnate Roll=Half-Orc: 1d100 ⇒ 60

-2 Con, +2 Strength


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Hi all. Please consider me officially on hiatus until the 18th/19th of September in order to do my 15,000 word dissertation...


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

5th level spells, check ;). But Curnach will be reincarnating Krenn.


HP 133/133, AC 26/14/23 CMD 22, F +13, R +10, W +17, P +22, In +11

Didn't understand that the magical lift put me in centre of room, ok. Will defensively cast Baleful Polymorph-

Defensive Cast DC25: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
