Dejik's page

All of this sounds good. I'm looking forward to seeing which AP you pick next!

Dejik will hold on to most of the higher level scrolls, but Limited Wish, Plane Shift, and Planar Binding aren't on her spell list.

What do we need to do to help Chorussina?

As far as purchasing items, Dejik doesn't yet have a cloak of resistance or a ring of protection,so she'd like to find those if possible. The other thing she will look for is an upgrade to her headband of charisma (it's currently +2).

. She'll try to get her cold iron longsword upgraded to +1 or maybe find a basic +1 longsword.

What kind of luck does Dejik have finding these things?

With AravashnielDejik hugs her friend tightly, then explains that she wants to learn to enhance her spells to last longer. She's been using the metamagic rod for a while, and she wants to replicate the same effect without the rod. She'll train with Aravashiel to learn the Extend Spell feat and the Divine Metamastery mythic ability.

=========

Once she's had a chance to practice, Dejik starts casting the following spells on her friends every morning:

Extended Mythic Endure Elements. 48 hours, up to 12 creatures (covers all the PCs and Arushalae), Resist cold 5 and resist fire 5 (If possible, Dejik will use the extra 6 slots on Irabeth, Anevia, Aravashniel, Sosiel, Aron Kir, and anyone else who is present.)

Extended Status. 24 hours, up to 4 creatures (covers all the PCs and Arushalae).

Extended Mythic Shield Other. 24 hours, 1 creature per casting. Extends to long range, and when Dejik uses her surge ability on a saving throw, the shielded ally can use her surge bonus on the save. When Dejik has time, she'll cast it on all the PCs and Arushalae. If she doesn't have time, she'll cast them in this order: Ayesha, Sarkast, Arushalae, and Nilus. (She might end up staggering the castings to two every other day, but that might be too much bookkeeping.)

Dejik can have Life Links with up to 14 people. She'll link with all the PCs and Arushalae. She'll also try to maintain links with on Irabeth, Anevia, Aravashniel, Sosiel, and Aron Kir, but it only has a range of 240 feet, so it will probably break pretty quickly.

============

Dejik also spends her downtime boosting the army's supplies with Create Water and Purify Food and Drink, and tending the ill and injured.

Dejik tries to steal some of Aravashniel's time to learn more about her spells and how to use them.

She'll also tend to the ill and injured and help Sosiel as much as she can.

Looking over the spreadsheet history, it looks like we accidentally sold the +4 mithral scale mail that Dejik is wearing. Dejik will refund the money to the party out of her share.

Also, Dejik is carrying several items she isn't using. We can either sell these or donate them to crusade:
- +1 Elven chain
- Mithral chain shirt
- Wand of protection from evil (27 charges)
- Wand of bless weapon (41 charges)
- Potion of sanctuary
- 2 potions of Endure Elements
- Materwork composite longbow
- +1 longbow

I also realized that Dejik doesn't have a backup weapon. She'll try to get her cold iron longsword upgraded to +1 or maybe find a basic +1 longsword.

Unless anyone else needs it, I'll take the Ring of Protection +5, putting my current Ring of Protection +1 back into the kitty.

When Dejik casts Mythic Protection from Evil on Sarkast and Ayesha, it gives them a +4 deflection bonus. If Nilus has a lower deflection bonus, it might be worth it to give him a better touch AC.

I already have an Amulet of Natural Armor +2.

If Nilus and Ayesha already have a neck slot or a natural armor bonus, Dejik will take the amulet.

Lots of good wands and scrolls and stuff for Ayesha and Dejik.

Whatever metamagic rods Ayesha doesn't want to carry, Dejik will hold onto. She can also pass them to Ayesha in combat as needed.

Dejik would like the scrolls of resurrection, greater restoration, and greater dispel magic.

Dejik isn't the type to use the summon monster scrolls, but if her companions thinks they will be useful, she will give it a try.
The rest of the scrolls are not on her spell list.

As far as the staffs go, the only one Dejik feels any resonance for is the staff of healing, but she will happily return it to the Riftwardens.

As far as purchasing items, Dejik doesn't yet have a cloak of resistance or a ring of protection,so she'd like to find those if possible. The other thing she will look for is an upgrade to her headband of charisma (it's currently +2).

Dejik stares at the plate mail, watching in awe as the emblem of Iomedae transformed itself into Shelyn's symbol. Nilus, my mother chose to gift this armor to you. I can't think of a clearer sign that your goddess and mine fight beside each other in this war.

Realizing that her spell is protecting Nilus, Dejik stretches her magic out to protect Sarkast, too. Then she quickly channels the power of life to counter the death demon.

Dejik uses a 5th level spell slot to cast Death Ward on Sarkast at reach (so she doesn't have to go into the room). Then spending 2 channels to quick channel to harm.

Channel to Harm (DC 24 for half): 7d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4) = 22

Quick question: At this level, Dejik can swap out one of her Oracle spells known for another one. I wanted to trade out Deathless for Death Ward, but that's one of her mythic spells. If she trades out Deathless, does Dejik just lose the mythic spell (since she would no longer know the non-mythic version)?

Or would you let her switch to a different mythic spell (probably Shield of Faith)?

Contingent actions for when it's Dejik's turn
Dejik has Status up on everyone, so she'll know if anyone is confused, dominated, etc.

Dejik has Deathwatch running, and she also casts Detect Undead.

Here's the details from Dejik's level and tier up:
Oracle level 10 (Paladin 2:
New 5th level spells: Breath of Life, Mass Cure Light Wounds, Life Bubble
Bonus 4th level spell (favored class bonus): Holy Smite.

Mythic Tier 5 (Hierophant):
Mythic Saving Throw: Making a save against a non-mythic source negates all effects.

Mythic spell: Holy Smite.

Path ability:
Divine Metamastery (Su) (Mythic Adventures pg. 36): As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power and pick any one metamagic feat you know that increases the slot level of the spell by 0 levels or 1 level. For the next 10 rounds, you can apply this metamagic feat to any divine spell you cast without increasing the spell slot used or casting time. You can also use this ability on a divine spell cast from a scroll, staff, or wand.

Mythic feat: Taking Extend Spell as a bonus non-mythic feat.

While her companions study the room, Dejik meditates on her holy symbol. Spending a mythic point for Mythic Domain to refresh her domain abilities.

If no one objects, I'd like to dispose of this cursed water safely. Dejik looks for a place to pour out the unholy water.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Dejik has Shield Other up on Ayesha and Sarkast, so she takes half of whatever damage they take. In addition, Dejik takes 5 damage from everyone over the life link.

I'm not sure if Ayesha and Arushalae made their saves or if Arushalae is still immune to electricity. I'm assuming the worst case scenario.

Dejik reels as the lighting rips through her, then shrieks in pain as it continues on to hit both Ayesha and Sarkast. Barely able to concentrate through the pain, she summons another blast of holy energy--this time to heal her friends.

Channel to heal, excluding bad guys: 7d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 4, 2, 2, 6) + 1 = 21
(ugh). Everyone heals 21, Dejik heals 34.

Swiftly, Dejik calls on Iomedae and Shelyn to heal her wounds.
Using Combat Healer and 2 3rd-level slots to cast Cure Serious on herself as a swift action.

Cure serious: 3d8 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (1, 8, 3) + 11 + 6 = 29

Keenly aware of her friends' pain, knowing that another spell like that may well kill one or more of them, Dejik closes her eyes and grips her holy symbol, her knuckles as white as the silver itself. Enough..., she whispers through exhausted panting. Enough...in the name of Iomedae and all that is holy...for Shelyn...for all that is good and beautiful... Her eyes flick open, the familiar divine power shining in her off-color eye.

DIE!

Again, a white flash of holy energy explodes from the healer, engulfing the evil outsiders not once, but twice. Then she weakly sinks to her knees.

Move action to Quick Channel to harm evil outsiders, then spending a mythic point for another standard action to channel to harm again.

Quick Channel to harm evil outsiders, DC 23: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6, 1, 2, 3, 2) = 22
Amazing initiative, Channel to harm evil outsiders, DC 23: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 6, 2, 1, 2) = 22

Fort save: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37

Dejik's finds that her already-clouded vision is unaffected by the poisonous gas, and she can still make out the shapes of her friends and Vang. She tries to summon a wind to clear the gas out of the room.

Using Inspired Spell to cast Wind Wall at caster level 13. That gives her 26 continuous squares, and I've drawn a blue line on the map to show the path.

Dejik calls on her mother's power again, and sends another wave of divine energy across Vang and the demons. Move action to quick channel to harm evil outsiders.

Channel to harm, DC 23 Will for half: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 1, 3, 6, 4) = 23

Dejik steps back out of reach of the babau's weapon and quickly chants a spell. Another brilliant light bursts from her holy symbol and explodes behind Vang, catching the worm thing and two of the demons in the blast.

SR check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Second SR check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Burst of radiance, DC 19 reflex to avoid being blinded: 5d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 4, 4) = 14
Seriously, RNG?

But the explosion is not as strong as she hoped, and she remembered Aravashniel's magic rod.
Move action to draw the intensify rod.

Gritting her teeth, Dejik draws on her mother's power and channels another wave of divine energy.
Spending a Mythic Point to take another standard action, channeling to harm evil outsiders, selecting out Arushalae.
Channel to harm, DC 23 will for half: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 5, 4, 2, 6) = 22

Dejik takes a deep breath as Sarkast pulls her free from the invisible force. Kiitos serkku.

Dejik stares at Vang and chants a spell. A wave of energy flows from her, revealing all invisible creatures.
Casting Invisibility Purge (from Eldritch Breach, rolling twice for SR and taking the better).
SR check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
SR check 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Your time is over, monster. A familiar pulse of divine energy explodes from Dejik.
Swift action to Smite Evil, then move action for quick channel. Spending 2 mythic points to harm all evil creatures as if they were evil outsiders.

Channel to harm, DC 23 Will save for half damage: 7d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 4, 3, 3, 5) + 2 = 28

Dejik holds her breath and moves out of the poisonous cloud, trying not to slip in the grease.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Mythic surge: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Channel to harm evil, DC 23 for half: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 2, 6, 6, 2) = 25

Nilus's injury begins to heal as Dejik's chest takes on the injury. The healer moves forward, drawing her bow. Ayesha, I can still feel him--he's 25 feet directly in front of me. Then she calls out to her mother for aid.

5 hp transfers over life link. Dejik casts Mythic Prayer. Allies get +2 luck bonus to attacks, damage, saves, and skill checks, and heal 8 points of damage. Enemies take a -2 penalty and take 8 points of damage.

Caster level check vs. Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Before they leave camp, Dejik restores her life link with Nilus, and she makes sure that her link with the others is intact, including Arueshalae. She casts Status on all her companions, and Shield Other on Sarkast and Ayesha. Everyone also has Extended Mythic Endure Elements (fire resist 5 and cold resist 5).

If we have time to buff before we encounter Vang, Dejik casts Extended Mythic Protection from Evil on Sarkast and Ayesha.

Before they bed down for the night, Dejik casts Restoration on Nilus to remove the negative level. She then spends her last Mythic Point to cast Mythic Endure Elements on the entire party.

Dejik nods. Carrying Nilus's body into camp would devastate the troop's morale. We all rely on him so much--his commitment, his hope, his love. He keeps us fighting for the right reasons. Her voice cracks a bit. Nilus's presence kept me from falling into a dark spiral of anger and vengeance, and the faces of my fellow crusaders tell me that I'm far from the only one.

Dejik reads over the scrolls one more time, then closes her eyes and whispers, Mother, make me strong. Shelyn, help me to help your servant. Nilus, please come back to us.
Using Lay on Hands to activate Overflowing Grace, just in case she needs to make a wisdom check against a mishap.

She opens her eyes and begins reading, her voice naturally falling into the rhythm of the chanting.

As Sarkast opens the magic bag, Dejik spots some of the scrolls they found earlier. Wait--let me see those.

Dejik reviews the scrolls and pulls out two of them. These...are resurrection scrolls...I...think I can cast them. She looks at the others. It will take me a few minutes--what do you think?

Dejik has 4 Restorations left for today. If we want to try one of the Resurrection scrolls, Dejik only needs a 3 on the caster level check. (Overflowing Grace will cut that down to a 2.) The biggest problem is that Resurrection takes a 10,000 gp diamond, unless it's already included in the scroll creation.

It would be better for morale if we all walked into camp--even staggering. Dejik isn't sure she can face Irabeth, Sosiel, and the troops if we bring back Nilus's body.

Dejik staggers forward, her divine energy depleted. She kneels beside Nilus's limp form. Her lower lip trembles. I... don't have the power to bring him back...I can't heal those black rays...perhaps Soseil...?

Her jaw clenches, and her clouded eyes glance at the two unopened doors in this room. We should take him back to camp. The rest of this place can wait.

I just realized that Dejik's most recent mythic tier gave her Eldritch Breach, which lets her roll twice to overcome spell resistance. (It's a standard path ability, not one she chose, and I just didn't see it.) If Dejik managed to damage the derakni with her spell, would that change their actions? (She'd be quite happy to draw their fire away from Nilus.

Regardless of your decision, this is Dejik's next action:

Dejik watches in helpless horror as the black waves of energy engulf her friend. Her magical connection to Nilus lets her feel his agony but does not allow her to help him. The magic rod drops from her trembling fingers and clatters to the floor.

Her shriek of rage is only partially swallowed by the magical silence, and the white light exploding from her mother's symbol is blinding. It burns steadily instead of disappearing in its usual flash.
Channel to harm, DC 23 Will save for half: 7d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 4, 4, 5, 6, 5) = 31
Quick channel: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 4, 1, 5, 3) = 20
Free action to drop the intensify rod, standard action to channel, move action to quick channel.
...and the RNG still hates me.

Holding the magic rod in her hand, Dejik concentrates again. A brilliant flash bursts from her holy symbol and explodes behind the the demons, far enough back to avoid any injury to her friends.

Using the intensify rod to cast Burst of Radiance. DC 19 to avoid the blindness.

Caster level check vs SR: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Burst of Radiance damage: 10d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 2, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2, 3) = 28
Blinded for: 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds.

Watching Ayesha struggle to cast spells against the derakni, Dejik realizes that her magic is much less effective than her sisters.

She takes her mother's symbol between her fingers and concentrates. Two powerful bursts of divine energy pour from her holy symbol, one right after the other.
Channeling to harm evil outsiders, selecting out Arueshalae, just to be safe. Dejik uses Quick Channel to channel twice this round. No spell resistance.

Channel to harm, DC 23 Will save for half: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 1, 5, 1, 6) = 20
Channel to harm, DC 23 Will save for half: 7d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 6, 4, 4, 3) = 30

Dejik listens to the buzzing noise. I can silence the confusing drone for Sarkast and Nilus, but it will make it difficult to cast spells. Although, once Sarkast runs around behind them...

Dejik uses a mythic point to cast Slience at caster level 13, targeting Sarkast. She also draws her intensify metamagic rod.

After several seconds, Dejik's "sight" returns. She moves over to Nilus and lays her hand on his shoulder.

Grief is one ailment that I have no remedy for, my friend, but these men made their choice. Our actions have consequences--we must all accept that in the end. She looks down at the remains of the adepts. Not long ago, I would have gladly been the instrument of divine retribution. My purpose was clear, and righteous fury guided my arrows home. And then I met you...

She gently wipes a smear of blood from the paladin's guantlet. You may not have been able to save these men, Nilus, but I believe you may have saved me.

With the magic protecting her from heat and cold, Dejik barely notices the hellhound's fire rolls over her. But through the magical link with her allies, Dejik does notice that Ayeshsha can't see.

She runs up behind Ayesha and touches the magus's shoulder. Borrow my eyes, sister, such as they are. Darkness clouds Dejik's vision once again, and she's surprised to realize she is still aware of the combatants on battlefield.

The hellhound's fire doesn't get past Dejik's fire resistance 5. Through the Status spell, Dejik is aware of Ayesha's condition. She moves up behind Ayesha and casts Accept Afliction. Ayesha's blindness transfers to Dejik.

As Dejik concentrates, the holy symbol around her neck begins to glow, and the rod in her left hand crackles with energy. Blue lightning streaks up her left arm and begins dancing around Iomedae's symbol. Dejik's jaw and eyes clench shut as she tries to build the power and hold it back simultaneously.

Her holy symbol glows brighter.The blue lightning dances faster. Her jaw clenches tighter.

Finally, Dejik's eyes flick open. In the same instant, the blue lightning disappears and the holy power bursts free from her holy symbol and flies down the corridor, engulfing the Black Fire Adepts in a brilliant white explosion.

Dejiks spends a full round casting intensified Burst of Radiance, targeting the 3 adepts in the doorway (plain, circle, square).

Intensified Burst of Radiance: 10d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4, 1, 1) = 23
Blinded for : 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds.
No save vs the damage, DC19 Reflexsave to avoid being blinded

I forgot to mention: Dejik absorbs 5 hp of Nilus's damage from the exploding runes trap. That leaves her with 4 and Nilus with 5.

Iomedae, protect and aid us! And bring doom to those who challenge us!

Dejik grins at Ayesha. A burst of blinding light--that's not a bad idea, sister! She drops her bow and draws a magic rod, one that that Aravashiniel taught her to use to make her spells more powerful.

Casting Mythic Prayer: Allies get +2 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, and they heal 8 hp of damage. Enemies take -2 penalty on the same rolls, and they take 8 hp of damage. No saving throw for either effect.
Caster level check in case anyone has SR: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

That should bring anybody who's still carrying any damage back to full hp. Dejik draws her intensify rod.

Dejik, unfortunately, has nothing that will harm a swarm...unless it's an evil swarm?

As Ayesha concentrates on her pearls, Dejik calls on Iomedae to protect her friends.
Casting Mythic Protection from Evil on both Sarkast and Ayesha: +4 deflection bonus to AC and +4 resistance bonus to saves.
Casting Shield Other on Nilus. (I think Ayesha should still have Shield Other from the daily buffs--11 hours. If that's expired, Dejik will recast it, too.)

As soon as Ayesha leaves the area of her spell, Dejik drops her concentration and casts another spell on Sarkast.
Dropping Calm Emotions and casting Unbreakable Heart on Sarkast: for the next 10 rounds, confusion is suppressed.

Siellä, serkku, nyt voit mennä auttamaan!

Dejik draws her magic rod and moves forward, trying to use her newly-discovered senses to pinpoint the creatures' location.

Drawing the intensify rod, moving up so that her 30-ft blind sense covers the whole room. If she spots either or both of the creatures, she'll try to describe what squares they are in for the rest of the party.

Recognizing the glazed look in Sarkat's and Ayesha's eyes, Dejik remembers the spell she used against the vescavore swarms.

Using a MP to cast Calm Emotions in the middle of the room. She targets it so that Sarkast and Ayesha are both just inside the edge of the 20 ft. spread.

For several seconds after the demon disappears, Dejik stands in silent awe of her fellow paladin. Truly, Nilus, you are a powerful force for good. I often think you have more divine blood than I do.

She turns and scans her friends with her magic sight, then quickly tends to anyone who is injured. Using Status to determine whether anyone needs her attention.

Dejik watches helplessly as her friends battle the demon, unable to move, unable to intervene. She feels somewhat less useless as Nilus's wound begins to transfer to her, but nothing can ease her fear as the demon threatens her cousin with deadly magic.

Even though Dejik is stunned, she will still absorb 5 points of damage per round from everyone and take half of any damage from Ayesha.

Knowledge planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

As the elven woman morphs into a demon, Dejik draws her bow. Then feel the power of Iomedae, demon, and be destroyed.

Swift action to smite evil (AC is 29 vs. Jerribeth), then channel to harm evil outsiders (selecting out Arueshalae, just in case).

Channel to harm evil outsiders, DC 23: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 2, 1, 4, 5) = 22
If the smite adds to channel damage, it adds +4 damage.

My holy power can harm only evil outsiders--if she's harmed by it, we will know for certain. She turns to Arueshalae. I'm not sure whether it might harm you, but I can make sure you're not affected.

Dejik readies an action to channel to harm evil outsiders, selecting out Arueshalae (and the fly demon, if she's still around).

Dejik smiles at Nilus. Some of us are here to kill things, but others are trying to dissuade us. Grillixbee, what will you do after Jerribeth is gone? Are you willing to leave this place?

Knowledge planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
No love for Dejik, either.

Dejik listens to Ayesha's objection and nods in agreement. I'm also curious what her role as "facilitator" might be. Perhaps it's in our best interest that this role continues to be difficult for her.

Ayesha only takes 8 damage from the attack (Shield other), and then Dejik absorbs another 5 on her turn. At the end of the round, Ayesha has 3 damage, and Dejik has 11.

Dejik nods at Arueshalae in admiration. Excellent technique. Mine is rusty--I'd love to get the chance to practice with you sometime. She shifts the rod to her other hand and moves up behind Nilus. Ready, she whispers.

Dejik moves into the room, and holy power erupts from the holy symbol around her neck.

Casting Mythic Prayer. Enemies take 8 points of damage and a -2 penalty on attacks, damage, saves, and skill checks. Allies get a +2 bonus on the same checks, and heal 8 points of damage. (Spell resistance applies.)

As Sarkast hears the minotaurs, Dejik draws the magic rod she acquired recently. I'm ready to engage them.

Drawing intensify rod, getting ready to cast Intensified Burst of Radiance.
