Edgar Poe's page

Thanks GM Otha for running. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have downloaded the chronicle for Edgar and it looks great.

With a shrug, Edgar replies "All with receive just judgment at the Crossroads. There is no need for you to destroy yourself for them."

"I believe you can do more good with the Society than you could running out for revenge."

I've just got to say...this Devil's save modifiers are beastly! lol

Moving around the fire pit, Edgar reaches a hand towards the devil. "Your fortune shall continue to fail you!"

Using Misfortune Hex on Leventi. He gets a Will Save DC 21 to negate --> Lasts 2 rounds due to level 8

Edgar proceeds to fly around the room after the massive lizard and again casts a spell on the creature.

Guidance on the Croc

I get that and no worries. Personally, I felt bad about the likelihood of them all dieing. But...with Edgar being true neutral, it's something he could have lived with simply by not knowing the true outcome. ;-)

"Of course."

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
-4 on ability/skills/attack

"SHEEET that smarts!" exclaims the man. "Leventi, Pharasma has spoken to me. Let me show your the omens of your future!"

"Allen, help the Croc!" he orders, taking a step back.

Without a word the raven flitters across the room and casts a spell on the croc. With a grin, it points a single wing towards the devil.

Cast Guidance on Croc

'Hmmm...the option of taking by force could work...however he could also destroy the soul rather than allow us to take it. The Hellknights have been released from the wall and...could potentially make it out on their own. The one slave from Cheliax...that's actually not on me so much as it's on his previous master. That man should have been wiser on whom he dealt with...'

'Well, it would likely cause more issues for Dis to leave him alive'

With an exasperated sigh, Edgar nods slowly. "Guys, I've no issue letting him live and moving on. Zarta is correct. Our goal her is simply to acquire the soul."

"While your amendment seems acceptable in my book, I have given my word to aid others. I would need some consideration for them to consider your proposal...

"Zarta, you have any issues with us accepting his offer? Being as you lead are faction, you should have a say in this as well."

GM would we believe making a deal with Leventi would cause those we've met along the way to remain stuck in this plane?

They'd still be bound by the erroneous contracts, wouldn't they?

"HA! And there it is." smirks Edgar. "You want us to betray someone that has aided us, you'll have to sweeten the pot."

"What of the other two items I listed, eh? And...what is this 'pittance' you speak of?"

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Raising an eye as he scans the room, Edgar whispers "Stay off that grate. It'll fry ya."

Moving closer, he considers the demon's words. "Well, we could just take what we came for...but it would be simpler if you just turned it over."

"We have a few desires. One being the freedom of a certain subject bartered unfairly...another being the freedom of those Hellknights improperly acquired...we've also a need for a certain soul in your possession. I've heard rumors the authorities are interested in your dealings as well."

"What type of terms would you anticipate for such things?"

Ooo Phatasmal Killer is nasty!

"Well that was a bit unpleasant..." grumbles Edgar, eyeing his companions. "Gather 'round and let me tend to your wounds before we press on. I truly expect Leventi to put up more of a fight."

Pausing a moment, he eyes the shadow. "Apologies...I don't believe I have anything to help out your companion."

Drawing a wand, he moves up to Ophelia and taps her with it. "That's a little better. If you need more later, I should be able to assist you."
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Pulling out another wand, he eyes the scroll. "I suspect our foe is beyond there." Tapping himself with the wand, he nods to the others. "Ready when you are."

Using wand of Mage Armor

Will: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 4 = 18

Feeling something creep into his mind, Edgar manages to shake free. "You all ok?" he inquires, hopefully.

Searching the room, he smiles. "I bet your bonedevil will like this! Excellent. Let us head back."

"Super." remarks Edgar. "Shall we check out the study and and the archives first? Perhaps we can find some additional evidence?"

"We are working on that situation." sighs Edgar. "You fight us and die...well I suppose that makes our list of 'to do' shorter and we can leave this place quicker."

"Do you truly wish to see Pharasma so soon? If not, give this up and give us a chance to free you. If you don't wish to be free...I've not issue giving you a send off."

Taking +30ft speed

Rushing forward, Edgar digs the hellknight's isignia out of his pocket. Holding it high, he calls out "We have discovered the inconsistencies of the contract binding the Hellknight's here. They gave us this to remind you of your duties."

To the remaining subject he adds "While we have discussed your situation with your master, we haven't completed resolving it yet. We do know the claim is invalid and shall see your situation resolved."

"Stop fighting now! Or we will send you the plead with the Lady of Graves"

Opening his mouth to inquire about the situation, Edgar shuts it and remains silent.

'We shall wait and see how this plays out'

"Not a bad idea Jack. Judging by what we've found here, likely not great to have your soul bound to this place."

Linguistics: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 18 - 4 = 31

Studying the contract, Edgar nods as he strokes his beard. "Yep. I see the error. You certainly are correct. If you don't mind, I could use a copy of this in our efforts as well. I will see what I can do to free your man."

Feel free to read that spoiler as well :-)

"Hmmm...tis an unfortunate situation indeed." grumbles Edgar. "I can assure you we are not here to aid the dreaded Leventi. However, as you are concerned, I find myself unwilling to disclose proof of this as well. Perhaps we could strike a deal?"

"The fate of your servant is most troubling indeed."

I am incapable of hitting that DC, but I'd gladly aid someone

Diplo Aid? (DC 10): 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 4 = 18
Success

"While I appreciate your thought process in this matter, that is beyond my abilities." advises Edgar. "My skills lean more towards annoying and disabling opponents."

Turning to Sorrow, he presses "How about you? Is this something you have learned in your travels?"

"No need to apologize. You were still some of the more polite creatures we've encountered in this place." Edgar replies with a grim smile. "Just glad we were able to give you a hand in this."

Taking the offered insignia, he pockets it. "Good to know."

"Ms Dralneen, we discovered some discrepancies in the contracts. Sorry it took so long, but we got caught up in the research."

"I suggest we give the good news to the Hellknights before we check in with Rowane."

Unless you guys wanted to wait 2 hours, I think Edgar is locked in with the mile long scroll at the moment

If anyone asks for fly, he can cast it up to 1 more times

Taking flight, Edgar begins searching through the long document. 'At the very least there should be a clue as to how they ended up in this place!'

Fly: 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 4 = 20
Linguistics: 1d20 + 18 - 4 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 18 - 4 + 5 = 24
Wow those were low rolls...

Would the spell "fly" negate the need for a roll for the +5

Prior to splitting off, if the group decides to, Edgar pulls his companions aside. "I'm well versed in linguistical aspects. I feel I'd be suited well for checking out the scroll itelf."

"While I understand not everyone is skilled at staying out of the way of the devils, I can aid a couple with the ability to fly."

"Sounds like a plan to me. Perhaps we should split up at the library?" replies Edgar. "Some of us could take a gander at the scroll while the others hit the contracts themselves."

The human's features sink a bit at the sincerity behind the man's words. "I see."

"While I cannot speak for my companions, I swear I will do what I can to see your release. I will not swear to release you as it may be beyond my power." he adds cautiously. "However, I will try."

I am aware this will most likely bite me in the ass. :-P

"Should we use a sending spell to alert Zarta of our discovery? She's been at the library...she might be able to find this supposed contract."

"That's...an unfortunate story. Do you happen to have a copy of the contract? Or know what name Leventi gave it?"

Eyeing the hellknights for a long while, he presses "You are sure your actions were honorable and righteous in the Order of the Pike? You swear this on your oath the the Order?"

Can't fail the K Religion check +21 modifier

"I understand your distaste for this situation. We are here to right a wrong. Surely your assistance would prove to Iomedae your attempts to seek redemption."

"Please listen to my companions."

With a nod, Edgar finds a place in the corner to commune with Allen before starting out. "I suppose the ghetto is as good a place as any to start the day."

"I personally can't wait to get out of this place."

As they make their way to meet with Zata, Edgar turns to Dioneo. "You sure have a silver tongue. Good job with the imp back there."

Kneeling down before the fetid creature, Edgar smiles. "You gonna behave for us? We've just a few questions for ya regarding a previous...companion."

Works for me. KILL err interrogate that imp! :-P

How are we doing on time? If the other items would further our goals, we could fight for them as well. However, if it's more prudent to continue through Hell, I'd suggest we move onward

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Personally, my life has been more hectic with the pandemic stuff, but I'll make a more conscious effort to speed up my posting.

Flittering towards The People's Champion, Allen's feathers glow for a moment as it touches him. "May your path be guided by Pharasma's Light."

Familiar cast guidance on The Croc

Frustration evident in his eyes, Edgar turns to his raging companion. "Accept the fortune of the great beyond for your efforts and favor will be shone upon you."

Moving up to Sorrow, he surveys the field. 'Hmm...they are just too spread out and mentally stout...gotta try something else...'

Fortune Hex on The Croc - Once per round for the next 2 rounds, you can roll any d20 2x and take the better result

As for our current location, the argument could possibly be made for the market to sell kami items like they do souls?

Alternatively, that portal is still open right? Quick run back to Golarion? :-P

Frustrated his will faltered when he targeted the opponent, the witch sets his eyes on the closest foe.

"By the 'Lady of Graves' I grant you the luck you deserve!"

Misfortune Hex on Purple - Will DC 21 vs 2 rounds of rolling every d20 2x and taking the worst

*SQUAWK*

Casting a spell, Allen zips off Edgar's shoulders to land softly behind Sorrow. "You may need this." he announces.

Cast Guidance on Sorrow

Edgar would as well, but only if it doesnt cause an issue for Dioneo's spells for the day.

Edgar would also loan out his mage armor wand to those that can use it

Knowledge (Planes) 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
Knowledge (Planes) 2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27
Best Save?

Knowledge (Planes) 3: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

"Don't touch the water." announces Edgar to his companions, eyeing the river. "Also, keep in mind, devils don't like being touched by good things...they resist standard materials."

Eyeing the silver sheened devil, Edgar frowns. "I do believe you're luck is about to change."

Cast Ill Omen on gold devil --> next 2 d20 rolls, roll 2x and take the worse

"Non-Lethal works for me as well."

Sorry for some reason this stopped updating for me. Just realized it'd been a while since I'd see anything

"Thank you for your assistance. I'm sure we can put this to good use."

"Now, if you'll excuse use, we have another engagement to get to."

"Ridley is correct. As it stands, we have no 'intent' with the creature. We are interested in learning all we can about Leventi so we may possibly acquire what we desire."

"Is an 'ill intent' towards the him required for your aid?"

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 21 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 21 - 4 = 20
Seriously? Dang

Smiling, Edgar opens his mouth to speak.."I..uh..."

Closing his mouth, he tries again "Well, ya see...Aroden is dead."

His cheeks going crimson, "Sorry...I just got, well flustered. I really didn't expect...sorry. I promise, I really am quite well read about such things but my mind seems to be remiss at the moment..."

"Out of curiosity, what would the terms of said infernal deal be?"

Diplomacy (Aid): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"Aye, as my companion pointed out...you seem to desire information about the mortal realm. I have some personal insights regarding Linnorms, House Thrune's security needs in Cheliax, or if it's tomes you're after...I've spent time studying the 'Tome of Infite Spells'." adds Edgar.

Eyes wide, Edgar keeps his mouth shut as the deal concludes. Heading out with the rest, his eyes stay locked on Jack.

The raven finally speaks up. "Noble Sir Jack. Noble for sure. Though with it being a Thrune you saved...perhaps undeserved."

"Agreed." chimes in Edgar. "Though I commend you're bravery on the bargain. I'd have considered the bargain myself for something more promising in return. That said, I've no doubt our Ms Dralneen would enjoy asking your new acquisition some questions as well."

"We've a short time before we are to meet up with her again. You think we have time to check in with the Erinyes before the meet up?"

If we have time, I'd like to see the Erinyes before we go back to her

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Better than I expected actually

"The way I see it, we'd be doing you a favor by getting you out of dealing with the devil in question. While I do understand you have a business to run, potentially gaining merchandise and dropping out of a troublesome arrangement at the same time? You're looking at the better end of this deal."

Anyone want to help Edgar? Feel free to take over the negotiations. Worse case scenario, we make this gal mad and leave without the soul. I'm sure there won't be any backlash from her later on... lol

"I'm not saying I'm not interested in dealing." he snaps. "I'm saying I don't necessarily agree that soul is worth that much."

"Perhaps you could sweeten the pot or reduce the price. How badly do you wish this soul to be off your hands?"

With a slight nod to Jack, Edgar replies. "Seems a bit steep for my blood. What benefits would this agent bring me? Diving that deep into the pool with simple conjecture just isn't my cup of tea."
