Dailyn Syrah's page

Frustrated with his first attempt, Daily attempts to recall any knowledge he has on spiders...

◈ Nature: Recall Knowledge: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

It was a spider... though his own studies were more of historical elements, so he held little confidence with his effort. Frustrated he makes another attempt at lobbing a loose piece of stone at the large insect!

◈◈ TK Projectile attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
TK Projectile damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"I swear, with all this nasty webbing I'm having trouble projecting the somatic components to my spells!" he bitterly complains.

Dailyn, seeing the bottleneck in the hallway hopes to give his allies a chance to bring all their attention to focus on the insect. Looking upon the ground, Dailyn ◆ strides towards the north. Taking his staff, he points towards another loose rock and uses his ◆◆ telekinetic projectile spell to peg the spider's body, hoping to hit a soft spot!

◆◆ Telekinetic Projectile spell: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 to hit for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 bludgeoning damage!

"I swear, rats and spiders. Seems right out of the children's adventure novels my father use to read to us..." the elf would muse mockingly, hoping their combined efforts would help bring down the spider.

Dailyn takes another hold of the rope, frustrated. "I knew I should have just tumbled down..."

With the help of the knots, he makes another attempt at climbing down.

Athletics (one more time): 1d20 ⇒ 19

Satisfied with his attempt and back on solid ground, he looks to the others before glancing off into the distance. "Where to next? You all point me in the right direction and I'll see what I can scrounge up."

Dailyn follows along, keeping an eye on things and doing his best to be weary of the odd tunnels. Once they come up to the cliff face he provides what support he can. Seeing Khaldan requesting help he does exactly that, "Not sure what good it will do but you have my support," he offers jokingly.

Taking his lean frame he walks over with his staff and does his best to provide additional support for his ally to get down.

Aid with Athletics, DC 15: 1d20 ⇒ 16

It wasn't much, but at least he didn't make things worse. He then chuckles and looks at the rope and ponders simply tumbling down, but thinks twice on it.

Climb check: 1d20 ⇒ 1 ((OUCH!))

As he attempts to climb down himself, he finds the grip slips immediately. Hoping to reduce the fall, he tries to brace with his own staff and hopes his ally would be good on their word.

Acrobatics to reduce the fall!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

((Won't complain about the save, thanks for the clarification!))

Dailyn smirks as his warding shield holds true. He continues his flourish and amplifying ◈ his ward, now spanning a full 15 foot radius and covering all those within the room. "The ward now extends to us all, the tides have quickly turned! Damn rats, squish them all!"

He then strides ◈ just to the edge of the stairs so as to insure his aura covers all within his team. He finally scans the southern entrance, hoping to seek ◈ out any further threats ((trying to focus on a 30 foot cone down and into the tunnel below)).

> Round 3 of sustaining Protective Ward, now 15ft radius.
> +1 AC Status Bonus to ALL within the party.

((Sorry for the delay, fending off nasty bit the flu and I've had NO energy for much of anything.))

Dailyn raises his warding shield ↺ negating the first attack completely, though the second attack is able to find its way through and nip at his leg. "Why has it always have to be rats... I hate rats!"

((Dailyn's HP should be adjusted to +2 hp, and his shield spell can't be used again for another 10 minutes!))

====== Round 2 ======

Dailyn, frustrated and out of retaliation, proclaims a curse while pointing at the frustrating rat, inflicting Daze upon the animal. ((Deals 4 mental damage, no save. DC 17 will save or be stunned 1))

He then with a last bit of a magical flourish extends his ward out another 5ft!

====== OOC ======

Dailyn <8/11 HP> (AC 17)

> Drain Bonded Item ◇: ⬤/Day
> Round 2 of sustaining Protective Ward, now 10ft radius.
> +1 AC Status Bonus to Fibek, Gurnevan, Taong, and Dailyn himself.

Dailyn takes note of the rushing rats. "Of course it is rats in a basement... the audacity of it all!"

Frustrated, he strides closer up behind two of the forward facing allies ◈ and weaves a sigil of protection that quickly manifests over them all. ((Protective Ward ◈, -1 focus point)). He finishes up with a word of protection for himself ((Shield Cantrip ◈)), creating a magical shield to help protect those behind him.

====== OOC ======

Dailyn <11/11 HP> (AC 18)
> PFS Hero Point: ⬤/GM Fiat

> Drain Bonded Item ◇: ⬤/Day
> Currently Sustaining Protective Ward, currently 5ft radius, will grow by 5ft radius each round until stopped or until 1 minute has passed.
> +1 AC Status Bonus to Taong, Gurnevan, and Dailyn himself. Shield spell grants an additional +1 AC circumastance bonus. Dailyn's new AC is now temporarily AC 18.

Dailyn takes note of dark hole off in the distance and summons a set of mage armor ◈◈ with a draconic verbal declaration before ending with a tap and wave of his magical staff. He then turns to the others and takes a quick inventory of what they are armed with.

"Be prepared for anything, this isn't some simple theft. Looks like someone's been digging around." Dailyn then hunkers down and attempts to stealth his way eastward ◈, hoping to use the pillar for cover while he peers on either side.

Dailyn regards the party with a bit of stoic excitement. He picks up on the puns, fighting back and failing to hide a smirk upon his elven face. "Very well, I'm excited to work with the others on this task. Let's get out and see what these fish thieves are up to."

((Time Skip))

Dailyn looks perplexed at Tamily Tanderveil, "Was this request not urgent? We would like to help, given that we are compensated for the risk, certainly. You have before you a collection of the most prestigious minds of Otari!" Dailyn pressed, doing his best to boost the ego of his allies while impressing upon the woman the error in her hubris.

Deception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 ((Lying, Ignore if not necessary))

Despite him making strong attempts to amp up their status, his current book-seasoned attire likely didn't do much to feed into Dailyn's grand tale of his fellows.

"Besides," he added, "I also act on behalf of the Pathfinder Society, assuming we find more than just fish thieves here we also can provide additional resources to help recover any losses. I would say that is quite advantageous, wouldn't you?"

Although it was a blink of an eye in his tenure with the Pathfinder Society, having been sent to Otari for his study under the School of Scrolls was sadly uneventful, to say the least. The coursework seemed below his ability, and he was beginning to contemplate seeking a side hustle in the hopes of getting a field commission to prove his worth to those overlooking the society in Absalom.

So when Dailyn got word of a potential assignment, he grasped at the opportunity immediately. Dailyn had been tasked to meet with a small group of other Wizards in the local area of Otari, though the specifics were not yet clarified. A test by the school of Scrolls, Dailyn saw fit to face the task head on. Equipped with simple tunic, trousers, a leather jacket with a single white-fur pauldron on his left shoulder, and various assortment of archeological tools, scrolls, and his trusty staff, Dailyn headed his way towards the declared meeting spot, eager to see what all would happen next.

Dailyn Syrah is Abjuration, with a heavy fantasy twist on an "Indiana Jones" vibe.

Dailyn gets dibs on wizard, I was going with a kobold wizard but....I can really see going with a bard...

MOOORE WIZARDZ! Though seriously, Wizard or Bard can go either way. I'm going abjuration wizard which kind of is the buff type of wizard anyway. Toss in Thievery and I can mix with rogue to some extent. I'm basically a big nerd who uses magic to make artifacts "safe" so if you have another Wizard idea I'm sure we could find a way to make it work.

That and bard is fun too.

Either way, I wasn't expecting to get in, but really appreciate the opportunity... and enough interest for a second table even! Can't wait to see how this all turns out! Really excited to play with you all!

This was my attempt at running a Wizard Idea for Pathfinder Society.

Dailyn Syrah was what I came up with, an Elf who aspired to join the Grand Archive of the Pathfinder Society. An archeologist at heart, he takes a lot of inspiration from the Indiana Jones and Mummy series of movies.

I am hoping to polish off his equipment here soon but my linked character sheet should have the basic elements so far.

Dailyn is good at multiple Lore skills that deal with Archeology, the Underworld, and Pathfinder society, and focuses on Abjuration (magic can be troublesome).

Despite what it may seem, Dailyn also is good at disarming entry level locks and traps!

Hello fellow Lodge members! I'm looking for potential leads on joining in on either a Play by Post (Forum) or Play by Discord for some lower level repeatable. I'd like to try my hand at playing in a game or two before trying to run a few games of my own.

Also: I've seen a LOT of bounties, but they seem kind of short and the awards don't seem all that great. Is there a specific appeal to these that I am missing? Thanks for any leads and/or input!
