Emily Will-Save:1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 4 = 28
The pantheress purrs and rubs her large head against the touch of Harkon, before grabbing Simon by the neck and jumps away from the undead.
She clearly does not want to fight right now and is more than keen to get out of this room.
The fur of the black pantheress, awkwardly shackled to the stone wall, brizzles and turns to gray ash as the edge of the fireball engulfs her.
As composed and calm as you got to know the massive hunting cat, this situation is beyond anything she can just shrug off.
If she were able to just do something against this agony and humiliation it would be another matter.
But being shackled to the wall, with fire biting her skin and the feeling of badwrongevilallaround is just too much for her.
Her mind snaps and she start clawing and biting around herself completely maddened.
The black pantheress looks down at the grey and white fur of the catling she just dropped at Grelthes feet.
Then turning her intense gaze towards the face of the greenskinned paladin.
She would be able to help, right?
"Meow-meeew, miii?"
Emily walks over to Simon and bites him into the neck, pulling him away from the door then turning around and starting to walk out of the room the way the group came.
Handle Animals DC11:
She appears frightened and seems intend on hauling Simon out with her.
It seems likely that she too is affected by the magic and now acts on instincts alone...
With Simon gone, Emily sticks to Grelthes side.
She has grown quite attached to the strong greenskin half-blood during the last weeks and their teamwork has become nearly as good as with Simon.
Now that Grelthe is attacked, Emily retaliates with force and a frightful hiss.
"FCHHHHRRRR!" Full-Attack: Claw #1, AF:Bull:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31 Damage:1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Full-Attack: Claw #2, AF:Bull:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30 Damage:1d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Full-Attack: Bite, AF:Bull:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26 Damage:1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Grab-on-Bite-Hit, AF:Bull:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32 (ouch. If they were not that disgusting, one might even pitty them...)
Frch!:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
If Simon would not have prevailed and even crept ever closer to the smell, Emily surely would not have set another paw forward at this point.
Seriously doubting whether her brother still had any kind of smell, she nevertheless follows him in.
Emily rubs her large head against Simons side demandingly.
Clearly, seeing the snake being padded by Zadira, reminds her that her last scrubbing was way too long ago!
Simon is cooking his head left and right, as if wondering about something.
He then sniffs at Vuzi.
Then leads Emily over to Zadira and let the pantheress smell at her.
"You smelling any change sister-purrurr?"
Maybe we do not feel or look any different, but what about our smell?
;-)
So let's see:
- 1 more 3rd level spell known & per day
- Upgrade +2->+4 for my Animal Focus and I gain it on two stats now (pure awesome)
- Swift tracker (well, okay)
- +1 on my good saves
- BaB+ => iterative attacks (and the BaB prerequisite for improved two weapon fighting!)
- the usual skills
- uncanny dodge (neat)
- Debilitating Injuries (oh, yeah)
- Rogue Talent (have to think about that one)
Emily:
- hit dice
- BaB increase
- Feat (neat!)
- skill point
@Rogue Talent:
I guess the following is too much cheese, yesyes?
Rogue Talent -> Ninja Trick -> Combat Trick -> Feat
I know that one can only take the Rogue Talent Combat Trick once.
But how about the Ninja Trick, Combat Trick?
It sure is something totally different, yesyes? ;-)
As Grelthe is bitten by a spider, Emily ROARs at an ear paining level and snaps at the offending eight-legged beast.
Revenge-Bite, Pack-Flanking:1d20 + 11 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 4 = 33 Bite Damage:1d8 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 7 + (6) = 16
The massive jaws of the black pantheress lock around the snapping mandibles and with a jolt, rips all of the spiders head off the jerking body.
To emphasis that an apex has come to their nest, Emily continues to bite and claw at anything with more than four legs within her reach in a fury of teeth and claw!
Will-Save, is this enchantment effect (Devotion+4)?:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Emily is clearly uncomfortable with all those crawling creatures on her body and snaps and claws wildly around until she feels Simon pressing against her back.
His presence somewhat calmed her enough, to take a properly aimed bite out of one of the large spiders trying to get to them.
Single Bite, Pack-Flanking, Grab:1d20 + 11 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 4 = 25 Bite Damage:1d8 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 7 + (1) = 9 Free Grab if not dead:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
In answer to Grelthe's empowering song, Emily throws her head back and ROAR!!!s with all the force her fully-grown lungs can muster.
As Simons light flashes up, the slid-eyes of the huntress search for pray within reach.
Are there any on ground level within 80ft of her?
If not, she will ready a bite-possible grapple as soon as a spider gets close to her.
@Grelthe: Finally it makes sense for her to join your rage song :-)
Emily only returns a gaze that very clearly says: "You don't back away either!", then continues to attack the slimey thing whose skin burns wherever she connects with it.
Each +11:4d20 ⇒ (19, 4, 20, 9) = 52Oh, there goes my crits ^^ Acid:4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 5) = 19
Emily really takes a beating for her loyality.
Fur starts to fall off around her maw and claws as the acid eats at her (lethal) weapons of choice.
How does acid interact with natural armor?
Seeing Simon going in, Emily ignores the fall-back order from her companion and rushes into as well.
The loyalty of the pantheress shows as she actually takes a bite off the creature and tries to claw at it.
Emily lies on her pillow and growls.
At the general situation really.
And those kitten treats ... they are just foul trickery again aren't they...?
How she hated such crazy, foul magicks.
Who could be so evil as to make treat illusions!!
She focuses all her senses on the treats.
What.Are.You?! Determined Disbelief of Treat illusion:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
AGAIN?!!!
What has ...
What has it done to me?!
Brother!
Brother!!
Some action:
With a sudden, jump, equal part fuelled by fear and Steelers resolve, Emily jumps at Simon, aiming to burrow him beneath her.
No one will harm him, while she was breathing!
Shizophrenic grapple!:1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 2 = 34 Init:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Mhh ... What would she do ...? Why has things to be so difficult down here?
Things were easier in the proper world - up there, above ground.
It was either kill or getting killed - or life and let life.
But here ... in this place of foul trickery and magick, nothing was as it seems.
That ... thing looked and feels badwrong.
But what if this was a trickery as well?!
How should she know.
Would it not fight them if it was indeed the evil thing it looked like?
And the real evil thing back then felt different as well...
What should she do?!
Yes ... for now ... she would just keep whateverthehellitwas in place.
If it cannot move, it cannot harm them, right? she/it is pinned now (round 2)
How was it back when she wrestled with demon-Grelthe again.
Did she suddenly saw through the illusion the moment they came into contact or only later?
I guess if she can remember seeing/feeling the truth back then, then she will trust her senses now as well...
Madness!
Why can't twolegs just lie down and have a good sleep after this horrible day already?!
The black pantheress has had enough.
With a sudden, far-reaching jump-run, she wrestles down the backing-off woman (and probably Grelthe as well if she is still with her) under her fluffy weight.
Once they are on the ground, she will lay her head down and purrs calmingly.
She did not like it.
Why do two-legs always have to stick their noses and hands into matters that do not belong to them?
And why, oh why was brother the worst of them in that regard??? 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 This thing is trolling me so hard ...
Seeing something errupt from the chest - she knew it! - Emily lunges forward, right into the freezing mist envelopping them all.
Hissing and growling she pushes further, regardless of painful cold chilling her down to her bones.
She is at Simon's side before he has fully toppled to the ground, his eyes open - but empty.
With a growl of exhaustion, annoyance and a massive amount of fear for her brothers life, the large cat is grabbing the smaller one at the neck with an unbelievable gentle lock of her maw and turns around and carries him back to the others...
At that moment, Emily comes in for a hug as well, toppling all three of them in the process.
She ends atop of Grelthe and starts to lick the paladins face with her big, rough tongue...
Meowiii?
Emily releases the tight lock on the half-Ork with a sound of utter confusion.
I guess that if you're confused and 'babble incoherently' you would release any held grapple, yes?
Things have gone terribly wrong.
The two-legs talk crazy things.
Greeny-Teacher was dead.
And brother does not act normal either.
Now of all times.
She could really need him to say her what to do!
Should she attack the demon further?
Retreat?
No, brother would have told her if it was time to get away.
Maybe she could ...
Yes, that's probably for the best.
The nimble pantheress takes a quick step to the side to flank with claw-hand and tries to subdue the demon with her newfound strength.
Giving hugs!:1d20 + 17 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 4 = 25
Emily is confused...:1d100 ⇒ 91 Not good .... Emily goes on a rampage, 'attacking' the nearest creature.
I guess that is one of {Demon, Cain, Simon, Grelthe}.
The spell doesn't tell us whether she use full-attacks or any of her special skills on that, so I guess its a hand-over-sheet-to-GM time...
Sorry @whoever gets bitten&clawed, she doesn't mean to!
What is this?
I can't see clearly, everything is badwrong.
Everything smells like foe.
I cannot sense brother anymore!
Where is he!!
Let me through you evil things, I must search brother!!!!
Sure thing about the plot-hook, but I would stay-the-heck-away from a paper written with blood by a massive demon ^^
That was just an overall-snarky-comment after reading the last posts and the overall situations - which is just badwrong altogether ^^
Your Panther is confused ...:1d100 ⇒ 63
In a flurry of misdirected fury, Emily claws at herself, as if trying to rid herself of her own fur!
... it damaged itself out of confusion!:1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
How does Emily fare?:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 Oh boy, my dice... 1d100 ⇒ 6
Seeing the foul creatures retreating to their master, encircling Cain, Emily follows them with all the focused rage of a wild animal, not noting that Simon stays back to stab himself, although she feels an unexpected pain through their connection...
Joining in on Simons howling (less pronounced, but louder) Emily throws herself against the Once-Ork which tried to attack her - after a quick bite against the thing that wounded her brother.
MEEWROAAAR
Come-on-Emily!:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Come-on-Emily!:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 Brother has fallen for their foul magick, that wrong-stroke!
I have to wake him, or those badwrongevilethings will cut him to pieces!
With a huge jumping run Emily is at Simons side and tries to wake him with careful pokes of her head and demanding meows.
Move to Simons side, positioning herself between Simon and the onrushing Orks,
Standard action to wake him (if that is possible, I assumes spell-like Sleep effect, which can be broken by standard action from someone else).
Otherwise she'd ready an attack against the first incoming Ork-whatever.
As you whisper the words special treat the pantheress purrs agreeable and licks your hand with her big tongue - it tickles!
Once you lay down your heart to her, she rubs her head against yours and makes you look at the others and meows softly.
It is like she wants to say "They are ok. Its allright."
While Simon and the others discuss matters of skeletons and evil magick, Emily is about to lay down for a catnap as she catches sight of Kayla, sitting off the group and smelling sad.
Nimble as always, the black pantheress walks over to her side (obviously not in a direct path, but casually sweeps along the walls of Vance's shop until she got to her).
With a single motion, she curls herself around the much smaller gnome such that her head lies across Kaylas legs and her tail closes the black, fluffy circle.
She starts to purr and rub her head against your chest.
Emily drops Zadira as Simon is hit again and she feels her brother getting weaker by the second.
With an angry hiss she throws herself blindly at the attacker, trusting her superior sense of smell to guide her revenge strike.
Revenge Strike Trick.
Consider Simon to be under the influence of Guard Companion (+4AC, if hit anyway he takes half damage) until further notice.
Just tell me when it comes into play so I can mark the uses off.
Emily does not like shadowy-things and crits too?:1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 4 = 19 ... She does not like them, but probably does not crit.
+1 AoMF means, all her attacks are magic.
Emily shuffles a step forward and crouches low.
Her missing sight doesn't trouble her too much.
Her nose, more than capable to detect the approaching foes.
She concentrates and readies herself to bite the first boney thing that creeps up to her or tries to get past.
Readied Bite, shall trigger once a skeleton (boney-smelly-thing) gets within 5ft of her.
The big black feline sits down directly in front of the tiny frame of the ratling, the slid-eyes trained on their prey and every muscle ready to lunge at the target should it try to get away.
I don't think it will come up, but she readies a tripping strike should the rat-lady tries something funny.
Reflex:1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 = 15 Boy that was too close!
Leaping afterher companion, Emilys jump is on the shorter side of things.
On the very short side of things in fact.
She barely makes the jump, only the magic that protects her while she stays at Simons side ensuring that she does not slip down the pit after all!
Fort-Save #2:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Sensing Simons discomfort and defensive behavior as the sack is thrown at them, Emily gets out of the way in time as well, then immediately follows her master, chasing down their assailant.
Acrobatics + AF: Frog:1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18
She too makes the jump over the impeding rock-thingy and is hard on the heels of the evil-smelling she-rat.
Emily too has 40ft speed if that is of any help.
Spending another trick use to get a free attack, since Simon was hit regardless of the outcome (Vengance Strike)
Emily is raging and bites and claws at the brute with a speed and ferocity unseen, leaving the evil creature no room for thought or escape.
Vengance Strike:1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 4 = 32Ahh man, that would have been a crit on Simon :-/ Bite Damage:1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (3) = 9 Acid Maw:1d4 ⇒ 4
The massive club of the enemy is coming at Simon in a wide arc and it will hit him!
Not this time, ugly! "Iaur!"
The long-trained signal 'word' causes Simon to jump reflexively - using Emilys swinging paw (that is just there at the right moment) and flings up into the air, well above the wild swing of the berserker.
It worked! Now back to ugly.
Lets see how he looks after a bit of claw&steel... Bite, Pack-Flanking:1d20 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 17 Bite Damage:1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (4) = 10 Acid, for rounds:2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 Claw, Pack Flanking:1d20 + 9 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 4 + 2 = 17 Claw Damage:1d4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (4) = 7 Vine Strike:1d6 ⇒ 5 reflex DC14 or get entangled
Yup, there is the proof: Humans can live without a single atom of brain matter...
@Choon: Does the attack on Simon still hits with a situational +4 on his AC (making that a 34)?
Ouchi. Looking at the dice rolled here, this will be over in what ... 30 seconds?
@Choon: I will use my new 'Bolster Companion' trick. Does the attack still hit Simon with the +4AC from the trick? Need to know for describing the outcome...
