Eira's page

Eira sighs as the nodachi wielder runs off, with a quick flourish she reheathes her rapier. She pushes her hair back from her face as she checks over the message Argus sent her.

<Argus> Understood, I've ran into much the same problem here. I chased off one o their members Mikal and Alembic have headed in. For now continue as planned, I'd rather wipe them out nowthen have them retaliate against us later. Also hugs and kisses to Zero. ^_^

And with that she rushes in to the keep following after her impatient subordinates.

Signature Deed gives me free uses of Opportune Parry and Riposte. And as we know I love nothing more than making enemies miss me and attacking them in return.

I know its a ways away but would you allow Swashbuckler levels to count as gunslinger levels for Signature Deed?

If I did end up with that sword it's going to become the base for a new rapier. :)

Until just before my turn sadly. though if she tries to retrieve her sword that's another AoO.

AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Dice Gods why hast thou forsaken me!

Stunning Blow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Unarmed: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11DC:17

Eira evades the blade by slightly bending her knees and letting the sword pass harmlessly over her chest. She then responds with a controlled flury of unarmed strikes aimed at incapacitating her opponent rather than killing.

Shadow Blade Style is a standard action...where's the second attack coming from?

AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Eira easily avoids the first and second strike responding with fist and elbow unfortunately unable to connect with her ripostes.

Crit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Damage: 2d6 + 14 + 14 ⇒ (3, 5) + 14 + 14 = 36

She puts her hand on Alembic's shoulder and shakes her head with a sad smile and steps forward. "No! I refuse to let any of my friends die, I plan on leaving this world alive! I refuse to just be some data deleted. If you want to fight some one it's going to be me!"

"Hate to break it to ya Gavy, but Argus is right. A little heads up would be nice. Besides I don't bite and my bark isn't too bad, can't really say the same for my enforcer." She barrels out a melodic laugh while pointing at Argus. "You see, people have guns, some have a hulk, we....well we have an Argus. Another rule you probably need to keep sacred is to never step on Argus' d**k. He may tear yours off in return." She smiles and with a wave of her hand continues, "But don't worry, I am not too upset. Just let me know next time ok? Besides the more help the better." She winks at Argus, "I owe you a drink my friend".

She turns her attention to Mikhail, "You are most welcome in this Raid. We have a need for you and could definitely use an extra hand!" Eira extends a hand for a shake. "I am not sure if you met everyone yet so please allow me to introduce you to the gang" with a warm smile she introduces each one. "I am Eira, this here is my wonderful husband, Zero. Over here we have Talori, don't let her beautiful face fool you, she is vicious! And the quiet and shy man over there is Argus, the enforcer." She grins trying her best not to laugh.

She clears her throat and her demeanor shifts into a more serious note. "Perhaps the skeleton hands are meant to dissuade us from choosing that path. I would hate to choose the path that looks clear only to be greeted by a brutal attack. What do you think Zero?" She looks up at her husband, "do you think it is a trap?" She looks around at all the faces of her guild. "Are you guys wanting to split up and risk taking the other path? Perhaps Zero, Gavin, Saardonis and Argus can scout whilst the rest of us go down the other?"

"Argus switch out until you can heal yourself, Gavin watch over him until then!" Eira calls out as she rushes the reaper tree. Her sword darts out like a viper cuttin into the trees bark. She begins a weaving dance with her blade prepared to protect her alies.

I've got it, Thamril was very giving.

Eira rushes towards the front of the pack and attacks one of the carrion golems activating Iron Guards Glare and Insightful Strike.

You've actually got a higher AC than me...granted I have so many other ways to avoid getting hit it's almost obscene....you know the Night Ravens are accepting applications. I'm sure we could if you in somewhere.

>_>

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Entering crane style and snake. Will be fighting defensively, AC is 27.

Eira accesses her messages and carefully reads. With a swipe she closes the message box and calls Zero over to relay the message she had just received. She thinks for a moment with one hand on her hip and the other playing mindlessly with a strand of hair. Before even really get a response from Zero she shrugs her shoulders and with a determined look announces that the information broker will join. She knows that her husband is suspicious of him and that he will most likely try to talk her out of it so to prevent stalling on any advancement in their plans she pops open her messages and readies to send one in return. With a cheeky grin she looks over at her husband, "I just want you to know I love you...and I'm sorry pumpkin but I know you won't like this!" She wraps an arm around him, "don't be too mad at me ok?"

<Gavin>"The Night ravens will gladly accept your proposal. Perhaps working together we can accomplish much more. I am sure we will be of value to one another. Meet us at the Reaper Forest."

When everyone's real appearances merged to their virtual selves, Eira was in shock. Little did she know that Talori looked like a fire locked porcelain doll nor did she expect to see Argus in the state he was in. Eira studied Argus, every scar and part that seemed "off". Where most people would arrive to a conclusion of either pity or disgust, Eira felt neither. Instead she felt a full and unadulterated sense of acceptance and even a hint of pride. She was proud and honored to see someone who would have otherwise given up entirely, continue to live to the best of his abilities if even in a virtual world. She was proud to fight alongside a friend that she and her husband could count on.

"Aye we are missing a wee lass that could have played Merida from brave." She says in a false Scottish accent, her light and airy demeanor suddenly shifted to a more serious tone. "Not a whole lot, it seems that all anyone around here really knows is that its an undead area with several spawn traps around and within the dungeon." She continues with a small frown. "So it seems we are going in mostly blind unless the Nyan Kats gave you any useful information."

"Thanks for nothing.." He mutters after the last person they asked had left. "So all we found out is what Argus will have found out during his scouting. I love wasting time. At least we got to have lunch without Talori or Argus getting us kicked out." He says to Eira as he drapes his arm around her shoulders. "I guess all that's left is waiting on the two of them."

Eira nods in agreement and let's out a small giggle. "Don't be so hard on them my love" she says as she wraps an arm around Zero's waist.

Zero appears in the 4th floor town alongside Eira. "Look for the moron with glue? Nope I don't even want to know why Argus is telling us to look for someone covering in glue." He says turning to Eira. "That shouldn't be to hard...I hope."

Eira stops for a moment trying not to laugh and mustering her best "concerned voice", "Glue? What do you mean he is covered in glue? What did Argus do now?" she takes in a deep breath. Hopefully love, it will not be a difficult feat to find the only person dredged in glue... Hopefully the only person. Who knows what the hell Argus is up to."

ok the "pea brained scaled turkey" totally made our night. Could not stop laughing. :)

She places a comforting hand on the broody Zero. "Everything is going to be fine my love." And as a way to cheer him up continues with "Besides, we sent Argus out. I feel bad for anyone who tries to f*** with him! He is as pleasant as a rusty nail in the eye.." From behind she can hear the familiar sound of Talori's voice. "I swear I am going to cook that damn owl if it messes with my papers again" she thought as she poured herself a glass of useless virtual wine.

Eira gives Talori a big grin, "Well kiddo, we are about to find out what Argus has to say. hopefully all went well." She gives a small chuckle. The crystal began to rise and suspend in air, hovering gracefully as it emanated a soft blue aura that shifted into a gold light when activated. Upon hearing Argus' message Eira cracked a huge smile and started laughing non stop. "Ah! colorful as always our dear Argus!"

She takes another long sip while watching Talori beat her brother, "Well Talori may be young and cutesy but that girl doesn't take anyone's $#¡¶" she straightens herself up and a more serious expression begins to shape her face. "Now make sure you get ready for our confirmation from Argus. Talori, you may get a chance to do what you do best, kick some a$$!"

""So you think me a spineless wonder eh?" She gives him the meanest look she can muster before a smile cracked through a cackle of a laugh came trickling out. "My dear, I won't disappoint. I may not have ever been given a leadership role but I can hold my own. I can be as much a lady as I can be a vicious c**t. I know how to pick my battles and hold my vomit under pressure. I wear a smile when I panic and put grey aliens to shame when calculating."She clears he throat and straightened herself up. She gives him a sly side glance. "Is that a leader you can roll with? Or is that too much for you?" She extends a hand for a shake. "So what do you say?"

She stood there blinking and then a large smile merged on to her flawless virtual face. A wave of excitement rushed over Eira upon seeing her invitation to be guild leader. She had never been given this kind of position in the real nor virtual world. The thought of being a leader of any kind in either world was an exciting task for her. She holds her husband's hand as she thinks of a name. After asking her husband they both decide on "Night Raven Guild".

"I'd be honored, but I was wondering if maybe, perhaps, possibly we could use this as our guild name." The guild charter disappears for a moment only to reappear with the guild name "Night Raven Guild"

So now with snake style, crane wings, and parry. I could potentially negate three hits a round... Oddly enough I'm ok with that.

So at level 6 I'll retake combat reflexes.

Anyone want to double check my changes and make sure it's all legit?

Does crane wing activate snake fang? I know it's been discussed on the boards but how do you rule this oh controler of fate?

Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12I need agile...and keen that'd be nice I'm way behind on dpr granted if you miss me it gets fun. Especially now that I have snake style and opportune parry and riposte. Even more ways to dodge. I'm like a subtle tank.

I had my turn in my last post it was the missed attack.

Eira takes one of the cuts and deftly avoids the other throwing her elbow into Talori's sternum and using the attack to spin back around and gouge her with Enigma.

damage dealt to Talori 17.
So I'm at 13 hit points now. That's including regen.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13Hmm the dice have turned on me...WHY!!

Hp: 24/71

Eira attempts to again dodge the crushing blows from Talori's swords only to have her foot slip and takes the full force of the attack unable to return her own attack.

The first attack missed and I used snake fang to avoid the successful second attack

16 misses so only one hits so far...and since it missed

Eira manages to duck the first strike and brush aside the last one wit a smooth parry striking back with fist and elbow. Her own attack with Enigma also fails to connect.

Standard Action to use a potion or are you using one when you jumped away and one after my attack?

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Insightful Strike: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Eira mentally curses as she sees Talori use the healing crystals just as she arrives. She smiles as Enigma connects again a smile coming to her lips as she continues the fight. She was enjoying herself.

AoO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14:(

As Talori jumps away Enigma cuts across her leaving another minor gash. Eira follows attempting to finish off the dangerous warrior only to miss with her latest attack.

Standard: Sapphire Nightmare Blade
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + (6) + 4 = 11

Eira has a moment of doubt as a shimmer appears over Zero and he falls to a knee and a message pops up showing He was removed from the match. She refocuses her attack taking a bit more defensive postition.

I find it dodgy reasoning that a skill check which replaces the damage roll on an attack can benefit from the crit of a weapon the damage of which it just replaces. I'll poke around but for now I'm going to roll with it.

We were wondering about that...it doesn't mention why happens on a crit so we just assumed it worked for now if it doesn't that's fine too.

I did tied with Zero. Posting now.

Eira rushes towards Talori and with a neat flourish Enigma a blur buries into her flesh twice leaving two neat puncture wounds.

Zero moves his hand over to accept. As he does so two longswords materialize on his hip.
He looks to his wife and shrugs. "Who? Sorry were new to VRMMORPs. Is that important?"

Eira smiles at her husbands message. Listening to Talori, she gives a shrug that mirrors her husband's response. With a silent and swift wave of her hand Enigma, her sword appears at her side. An amused smirk curls her lips as she places a hand on her sword. [b] Well hello Goldclaw and Redfang, this my dears is Enigma.[b]

Eira notices a "new message" symbol appear. The symbol was blinking brightly and as she accessed her message, Zero's words form before her in a ghostly text.

Private Message <Zero> ::Perhaps the lady with the two swords. Something tells me she doesn't mess around. Then maybe the archer?.::

Eira gives him a nod followed by a smile, "Sure! The more the merrier, keeps things interesting. Pleased to meet you Argus, I am Eira." She looks at Zero then at Argus, "ready?" Within a second she fazes out and appears in the forest. It all felt so real. The sounds of birds, green foliage and a soft breeze carrying the clean scent of the forest around them. Pin pricks of sunlight thread through leaves and branches and dance on the ground. She waited excitedly to be joined by Zero.
