Emberwik's page

Thanks again for GMing! What a blast!

All around him, Emberwik saw the spire starting to collapse and fluctuates dark energies. Waves of skeletons poured in from any entrance that the Oracle would hope to use to escape. With time not being on their side, he takes no time in making for an exit with his allies.

At a junction where he and his allies fled, a collapse suddenly separates him from his party. Emberwik then threw his last ball of fire at a wave of rushing skeletons, and conjures forth a wall of bones to cover his escape. Desperately he searches for another exit. Lost in the winding tunnels without time on his side, he burns through every last resource of power to survive.

From the distance, he hears something that doesn’t sound like undead. Flying as fast as his body can, Emberwik reaches the source and finds Momoko and Deep Tofu. The Psychic conjures all manner of force magic to blast back undead, while the Witch tries to pick up a wounded Pathfinder over his back.

The shadowy oracle flies to their aid at once, calling upon a wall of flames to blast back more of the undead. ”How do we get out of here?!” he shouts to Momoko. She turns confused by the sudden aid, but relieved it is help. ”The tunnel down this way leads to an exit!” She points to a long straight stretch that is larger than most tunnels here. The tunnel starts to collapse as well, however, and their moments are turning fleeing fast. ”Quick, get in!” Emberwik uses Shadow Conjuration to call forth a Conjured Carriage. Tofu hops in with the wounded Pathfinder, Slamming the door shut behind him. Momoko and Emberwik quickly hop on top.

”Swiftly, drive now!” he shouts at the invisible driver, and the carriage then starts moving. More boulders fall from the ceiling, and begin to crash haphazardly around the trio. One falls dangerously close to Emberwik, but he was protected at the last moment by the Psychic’s magic as it reflects off him.

One last wave of skeletons approaches the party, blades drawn. Emberwik and Momoko both call upon their last healing magic to scour the undead with positive energy. The oracle and psychic launch a large wave at the horde, and many of them or are repelled. The caravan then pulls the trio into daylight before anyone could even realize it.

Emberwik has escaped Gallowspire.

Emberwik casts the spell Greater Path of Glory upon the party, recovering everyone a significant amount.

65 HP to the most injured, and everyone else can recover 60 HP. According to the status, Roary will need an extra 20 healing.

Staff of Healing Cure Serious Wounds @ Roary: 3d8 + 13 ⇒ (7, 1, 8) + 13 = 29

I survived Gallowspire and all I got was this T-Shirt.

Diplomacy Dayjob Caravan: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (19) + 21 = 40

What a ride! That was a lot of fun and very challenging! Glad we made it all the way through!

Thanks again for GMing GMAndrewW!

Emberwik flies up to behind Sarek, drawing his Staff of Healing and dropping his Staff of Fire, then casts a spell to ease his wounds.

Staff of Healing Cure Serious Wounds @ Sarek: 3d8 + 13 ⇒ (3, 7, 7) + 13 = 30

Not feeling great today. Feel free to bot me if needed. Either heal someone or blow something up.

Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Well thank you for getting the natural 1 out of the way, dice.

Emberwik draws his staff of fire once more, and calls forth dark forces.

"Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark, I beseech thee, combine with my deep crimson. The time of awakening cometh. Justice, fallen upon the infallible boundary, appear now as an intangible distortions! I desire for my torrent of power a destructive force: a destructive force without equal!
Return all creation to cinders, and come frome the abyss!"

"Explosion!"

Staff of Fire Fireball @ Selected Area: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 1, 6, 1, 2, 5, 1, 5) = 29 Reflex Save DC23

Wanting more knowledge for himself and not Lenny, he says, "No, Leonard. You must let me accept this burden."

I sure as hell am not gonna talk you out of it :P

Emberwik can't reject dark powers, especially when offered so willingly.

"Come, and find refuge within me."

"Stop it, you damned dragon!" Emberwik shouts at the dragon, then waves the staff of healing over Lenny again, continuing this tug of war.
Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Concentration Check DC21: 1d20 + 13 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 8 = 37
Staff of Healing Cure Serious Wounds @ Lenny: 3d8 + 13 ⇒ (1, 4, 5) + 13 = 23

@GMAndrewW Thank you very much for earlier with the spell check :)

Otherwise, if you believe I don't have access to the spell, Emberwik will let have to let Lenny die and come up with a different plan. Apologies, but I did pull Emberwik out of a PBP module that finalized chronicles only a week before this started up.

This is a great idea with one small flaw...

Quote:

5th Level Spells:

Spell Resistance
Vampiric Shadow Shield
Shadow Evocation
Flame Strike
Mass Cure Light Wounds

It is a failed update on my part that didn't get in from my character sheet. I do have it, as 13th level oracles have spells from Cure, Mystery, and Shadow Evocation coming from a mystery revelation, and 3 spells known that they add. Flame Strike and Spell Resistance are my two choice spells from level 12 and earlier, 13th gave me a 3rd 5th level spell, which I did not properly upload. I will update it.

Also, double checking, Breath of Life somehow got under my 6th level spell spoilers. Updated.

Excel Character Sheet here.

Source that Shadow Evocation doesn't count against my spells known.

Good morning, everyone.

Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Emberwik flies backwards and down to be level with Lenny's limp form. Effectively 5ft shift down backwards.
Fly Check DC10: 1d20 + 18 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 18 - 1 = 21

"Suffer more."
Concentration DC15+10=25: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31
Breath of Life @Lenny: 5d8 + 13 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 2, 6) + 13 = 35

So if the dragon doesn't put us in a more dangerous health pool than we are, I will look to Blessing of Fervor next round. If it does, I will be possibly looking to use Cure Moderate Mass, unless someone else has another heal they wish to throw out.

Kudos to Lenny for spelling Emberwik correctly :)
Just about everyone spelled it correctly at least once so far. :)
No worries, not upset or annoyed. Just amused, I suppose.

This looks nasty no matter what way I try to poke my brain at it. We know its Touch AC is probably too high for a ray spell, thus its reflex must be really good also. Healing the party is kind of the only option I got at the moment.

Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Thank you, Paizo Dice bot. :(

Emberwik flies over to Lenny, dropping the Staff of Fire and drawing the Staff of Healing as he flies.

Staff of Healing Cure Serious Wounds @ Lenny: 3d8 + 13 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) + 13 = 20

Just how many lantern archons will this group sacrifice!

This many.

Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Emberwik flies forward, then casts the spell Fireball at the spot he last remembers the Undead and Dragon being.
Staff of Fire Fireball @ Selected Area: 10d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 1, 4, 1, 3, 6, 4, 5, 4) = 35
Aid Healing Token: 8d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 3, 5, 5, 6, 2) = 34

Emberwik will need your scrolls to cast it. My advice is you retreat to the back of the room. Since Sarek is unconcious, best I can do for now is patch you guys up. Otherwise I will spend a full round getting to him then rummaging through his bags, leaving me open for an attack that could remove the possibility of getting Death Ward cast.

Mass Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (6, 7) + 13 = 26

Alright, Lenny is telling me to cure so here goes!

Emberwik calls upon the painful lesson of healing from his dark master, washing it over his allies and the Green undead range is 30ft per target, so Emberwik can't target it without getting closer himself.
Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (2, 5) + 13 = 20

Then Emberwik flies up to the balcony above. [ooc]Or as close as 60ft of movement can get me to it.

Go with the cure then?

Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

So before I dedicate, Mass Cure Moderate or Flame Strike? Those are currently the best options I got for this circumstance. If the thing breaths, I doubt Cure Moderate at 2d8+13 will save people.

Ember, any awesome healing or protection you can dish out? I'm combing through my boons right now.

Sorry, was studying for my scenario tomorrow then passed out. Yeah I can toss out a Mass Cure Moderate. I will also have 3 Breath of Life spells remaining for today.

If you want much better than that, well, I got a Flame Strike I can hit them both with.

Emberwik will use the one round buff to call upon his wings (Swift), then cast the scroll of Death Ward on himself that he got from the other Pathfinders.
Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

"So you heard it too? Admittedly, I am not feeling great about this."

There is no room for take 10 in Gallowspire.

Stealth for next encounter: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41
Hope that buys me a round.

Lenny is correct. If we coordinate down to the wire then we have a chance of victory and bragging rights. To this effect, Emberwik will be sneaking to the next encounter with stealth.

Unfortunately, I do not have any pearls of power.

I believe I shall also do a Scroll of Death Ward.

Emberwik looks around, puzzled.

Let the Occultist do what he does best; tell us if it is a bad idea.

Emberwik takes the book and sets it onto a flat surface where he can read it. From his bag he pulls out a pair of glasses.
Spectacles of Understanding.

"Hmmmm... Volume 2... Apparently the hafling goddess Chaldira had a statue of her holding a chipped sword. The discovery of this statue intrigued the Wizard King, as it is a holy relic that seemed dangerous but resisted his efforts to understand it."

Thanks for the healing. :D

Emberwik, having no target, moves forward and then targets the red devourer with another Scorching Ray.

Emberwik draws his Intensified Metamagic Rod, after he casts a scorching Ray spell.

Whenever Emberwik is bolded for initiative

Emberwik casts the spell Blessing of Fervor upon himself and his allies. He then moves back, weary of these new enemies.
Chosen Benefit: Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.

Spend the two prestige, recover back to full.

@GMAndreww Would you accept if I spent prestige to have a restoration cast on me from either the aid token we got or by meeting up with the medic team?

Awake, and back in the land of the living!

There is a base of Pathfinder Operations back up on the surface, right?

Unless that announcement changes the circumstances, Emberwik is going to fly towards the door then shadow walk as far as he can teleport to escape this fight. Gonna pass out for a while now, did a lot of furniture moving today.

With my saves taking the beating I can’t afford to ready.

Well, retreating for Emberwik is my main plan now. Any spell you want before I get the hell out?

I gotta stop posting from the phone first thing in the morning.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 + 4 = 21

I know my profile shows me as a 4 star, so here is the post proving I am actually a 5 star. I am Kyle Hallberg.

[dice=Fort Save]1d20+11[/dice
Oh god this thing is specifically after me.

I'm talking about next round, silly. :P

Ok, so if it continues the Bone Storm, I am going to Shadow Conjuration summon a Fog Cloud to disrupt its sight on us, so we can buy a moment to regroup.

If it dismisses the Bone Storm, I am going to Shadow Evocation an ally with Telekinetic Charge into its face to launch an attack and full round the thing.

That it certainly is. :(

If I take enough damage to go unconscious and start bleeding out, the Shadow Endurance activates and warps the real Emberwik to the shadow plane to stabilize and recover, then a Shadow Emberwik takes my place and can cast my spells but at 1/4th the caster level.

Alternatively, if it lowers the storm, I can throw a melee person at it with Telekinetic Charge, they use the aid token to beat it up, then they use their full round attack afterwards.

At best, if it lowers the storm and I have an opportunity, I can fling a melee person at it with Telekinetic Charge and then they use the Aid Token for a damage boost to smash it, then on their turn they full round attack it.

@Lenny At the moment, Emberwik's best option is to kill himself and go hide in the shadow plane. I looked over all my spells. Aside from silence, there is not a damned thing I can about this creature. I feel like AquaMan when there is trouble in the Sahara.

Might be a decent idea. This thing seems to have it out for me, understanding that I can counter some of its abilities.

Silence didn't go off because it interrupted my casting.
