Eowyn Naral's page

Looks good! Thanks for GMing!

"I look forward to meeting you all again in the future."

Also, since I have Quick Draw, all weapons are away; that way I can pull whichever I prefer for the encounter without having to take an action put anything away.

Since Genevieve was panicked for 4 rounds, it will presumably take another 4 for her to return. If you're good with that amount of time I'll take it. If you think she needs a round or two into the next combat before she arrives, I can understand that also.

Since I'm not hurt, I'll use those rounds to cast Gravity Bow. It will last 4 minutes. Lead Blades, Versatile Weapon (silver arrows), and Feather Step are also still active.

Her bow enchanted, Eowyn takes aim at the flying hound ... and then watches it to two bullets from Togang's gun. Well, Alkenstar has all but made archers irrelevant these days ... doesn't have to be silver-coated if it blows their head off...

She lowers her aim and takes a shot at the undead...
+1/+1 for Inspire Courage, -4 attack for into melee
+1 Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 4 damage: 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10
...and curses as the string slips from her finger and drops the arrow on the ground.

She moves up closer, ready to fire at anything else that arrives, but ready to switch to her swords.

Other than the healing, ability damage are healed but none are damaged. Also, each of you regain one daily use of a class feature (e.g. one round of bard song), and recover one or more spells that has total levels equal to your character level.

Recovering one use of Hunter's Aspect, one 2nd level spell slot and two 1st level spell slots.

Eowyn Will: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15
Genevieve Will: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6
Well, that's unfortunate. Kuey, Genevieve has a fly speed of 80', so that's a 160' double move or a 320' "run" action. I'll leave it to you to determine where she ends up after four rounds of that ...

As the hound howls, Eowyn grits her teeth and pushes through it, but Genevieve is clearly affected at a deep level by the sound. Despite her training, she flies off in terror. Cursing under her breath, she listens to Tofang's and Andy's descriptions of the new creatures. Bow still in hand, she casts a spell over her quiver of arrows, then moves to the side to let others handle the one on the ground as she calls upon the spirit of the mighty bull.
Casting versatile weapon to have her arrows overcome DR as if they were silver and activating Hunter's Aspect "Bear" for +2 STR.

Also, I had cast Lead Blades right as the first wave of caryatids arrived. Am I correct in believing that 4 minutes have not yet passed, so it is still active in case I switch back to melee?

I'll hold off on posting until I hear whether we have to keep fighting the column.

Eowyn nocks an arrow and fires at the column near Bon.
+1/+1 for Inspire courage. -4 attack for firing into Melee, unless Bon is inclined to take a 5' step back after attacking. (If he is so inclined, delay my action until after him and take out the -4 penalty.)
Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 22 damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

As the new caryatids emerge, the small elemental rolls over to get one final attack in before returning to its home plane.
Slam vs Orange: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
+1 to attack and damage if both are considered to be "touching the ground". Not sure how that works here...

Not wanting to risk destroying her swords on the caryatids, Eowyn sheaths them and moves to the side, taking out her bow.
Move action to put away her swords, standard to move + draw bow. Genevieve follows on Defend command.

nightdeath made it sound like we were getting a new set of checks ... did we misunderstand that, O Substitute GM? ;)

Eowyn rubs her eyes and continues to study the runes.
Using Perception again:
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

Calling on the spirit of the Falcon, Eowyn examines the runes, trying to find some pattern the group can exploit.

Using a Hunters Aspect for +4 perception for 1 minute.
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16 Really???

Eowyn's spell completes, and a small mound of earth rises up behind the statue to beat on it.
Don't have time to find a proper image, so the small elemental will be represented by the smiley face icon.
slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
confirm crit?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The spell complete, Eowyn takes up her dropped sword and waits to see what else happens.

Hoping we can drop it without having to risk my weapons, but if needed I will 5' step in front of Andy to attack.

Frustrated that she can barely scratch the circle, but worried about damaging her swords, Eowyn drops one of the swords to free a hand, and begins casting a spell to call for help.
Casting Summon Nature's Ally II to bring in a small earth elemental to help fight the caryatids.

Realizing that the statues are as dangerous to her weapons as to herself, Eowyn continues to work on breaking the magical circles in the hopes that doing so will call off the guardians.

Inspire Courage, Lead Blades
MW Longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 = 13
MW Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Talon 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Talon 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

EDIT: Can the circle take a crit? Just in case:
Crit confirm MW Longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11
Crit confirm MW Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Crit confirm Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

No, Genevieve won't be able to do much damage until she can get the extra Precise Strike damage from flanking with Eowyn. She's on "defend" at the moment.

Kuey, the map you have us on makes it look like we are in a room and can't even see the new arrivals, much less be bothered by them. How should we be reading this map?

Seeing creatures with stone skin, Eowyn realizes she is going to have difficulty damaging them, so she casts a spell to make her weapons heavier. Casting lead blades.

Having no knowledge of traps or the arcane, Eowyn and Genevieve begin hacking at the wards the old fashioned way.

MW Longsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
MW Shortsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Talon 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Talon 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Coming out of the tunnels, Eowyn heals herself and Genevieve with her wand.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Both at full HP.
-----------------------------

As the group examines the wards, Eowyn asks, "We were given some information in languages I did not understand ... could those help us deal with these wards?"

I refer to this and this.

I think you can aid with Survival, right? So you would auto aid. Andy, can you roll aids too?!

He didn't actually answer my question, so I rolled the knowledge checks just in case. But yes, if Survival can be used to aid, I autosucceed.

Aid Kn Dungeon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Aid Kn Dungeon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Aid Kn Dungeon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Aid Kn Dungeon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Aid Kn Dungeon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Aid Kn Dungeon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Aid Kn Dungeon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Aid Kn Dungeon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Aid Kn Dungeon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

That definitely beats my bonus, so I will aid. If I can aid with Survival, I auto-succeed (+9 bonus). If I need to use Knowledge (dungeoneering) to aid, here is the roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

What is the current gravity? Related, could Genevieve either carry someone isn't confident about jumping or else essentially use her flight to aid their jump?

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Acrobatics to jump: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Handle Animal to push Genevieve to carry/help someone: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Never mind, she doesn't understand what I'm trying to tell her anyway ;-)

Kuey, on round 1 I cast feather step then jumped down; I assumed the jump down was a move action, so I ended my turn there.

Seeing an opportunity, Eowyn whistles low-high-low and darts in front of Tofang as Genevieve swoops down, and the two partners attack in unison.

Swift to order Genevieve to flank, move and ready an attack when Genevieve arrives; Genevieve moves and attacks, triggering Eowyn's ready. Neither of them are both bludgeoning and magic, but hopefully the precision damage helps get something through.

Inspire Courage, flanking + Outflank
MW Longsword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 3 + (4) = 13
Bite: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32 damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (6) = 12

Seeing the rocky terrain below, Eowyn casts a spell to help her be more nimble, then calls upon the mighty yet under-appreciated frog to guide her jump.

Casting feather step (lasts 40 minutes), then taking Hunter's Focus: Frog for +4 to jump checks. This makes her Acrobatics check +14 for jumping, so she can't fail the DC 15 to soften a fall. She orders Genevieve to wait, so she can fly down to an appropriate spot once the fight starts.

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

"OK, anyone who thinks they can have an effect on the chain line up and Genevieve will fly you up. Keep your snapleaf ready in case of emergency; I'll have her try to catch anyone who falls, but if there are several she'll be limited. "

Thanks GM, I assume we still have 1/5 gravity, so hitting touch AC?

Oh, if we're still in 1/5 gravity, does that increase Genevieve's carrying capacity?

Does anyone have anything adamantine to break the chains? If so, Genevieve might be able to lift you up and hold you while you swing so you don't fall when it comes down.

Wow, I missed a flurry of activity there ...

"Genevieve can carry an average unarmored human for a short distance ..." I can boost her STR to 16, giving her a 150lb medium load or 239lb heavy load; I am pretty sure that the restriction of mounts not able to fly with armor/encumbrance doesn't apply to them carrying things in their claws, but Kuey may have a different opinion.

OTOH, if anyone happens to have Ant Haul prepared or on a scroll, that would change things significantly.

Eowyn looks around, trying to see if there is a way to safely lower the block of ice to the ground.

Take 10 for 21 Perception.

"Dear spirit, you have my sympathy for your plight, and thank you for your offer of assistance. We are part of a larger group who have come in response to portals opening between here and Golarion. We seek one who is trapped here, to hopefully release it and end the random bursts of magic. What can you tell us about this place?"

Despite the noise, Eowyn continues to talk to the spirit. "Just hold on a bit longer, my companions are going to free you!"
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Genevieve, not understanding the nuances of the situation, follows her instructions and continues to distract it.
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Talon 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Talon 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

I hadn't even noticed you put a map up. No problem moving me up.

Eowyn continues to talk to the spirit, hoping to calm it, while Genevieve attacks to distract it from the others.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Talon 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Talon 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"Please, spirit, try to remain calm! We will do our best to release you!"
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Despite her calming words, Eowyn worries about the creature lashing out at everyone, and lets out a low, single pitched whistle.

At that, Genevieve begins biting and scratching at it, trying to distract it.
Not sure if attack rolls are needed, or whether she can get a full attack or just a single. Use whichever rolls are appropriate. :-)
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Talon 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Talon 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Two more charges off my wand to be back to full HP.
----------------------
Eowyn allows the others to converse with the newcomers, and keeps a close eye out for any danger that might be following them.

Andy uses a charge from his CLW wand on Eowyn...

[dice=CLW wand vs. Eowyn]1d8+1

Thanks!

Eowyn continues to speak soothingly to the worm while the others see about freeing it.

Eowyn stands up. She uses the wand in her hand to heal some of the burns 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 as she moves down the hall. Staying a safe distance back, she talks soothingly, trying to calm the huge beast while Jivan examines the shard.
Handle Animal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Wild Empathy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Kuey, I'll let you determine Genevieve's reaction to what just happened. I think she'd follow the worm and try to rescue Eowyn, but since you haven't put up an initiative roll, I'm not sure how to respond.

Recognizing a malefic manifestation, Eowyn flicks her wrist and her healing wand pops into her hand. With a word, she activates the magic and attempts to use it to stop the evil from forming.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Eowyn Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Genevieve Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 Evasion, if it helps
-------

Is there a way to identify a location where using a Cure spell offensively would work?

Also, not that it matters for the haunt, but how long did the conversation with the efreeti last? I had cast a 4 minute duration spell just before we went in, that may or may not still be up.

At least all of mine were successful assists.

Eowyn smiles. Standing behind Andy, she says, "If the Efreeti nobles are known for anything, it is how well they treat those who work for them. With such a fine feast prepared here, this would seem to be a very opportune time to grant the troops their well-earned rest."

I'll put down a series of rolls in a spoiler; I am willing to be a primary roll or assist, so Andy can decide whether he'd prefer to have us alternate primary rolls, or just have me assist him on all the checks.

Despite not wanting to be the first one to speak, Eowyn does have a +8 Diplomacy. She can also use Intimidate (+5). I could be a second primary roller along with Andy, or just assist.

Eowyn Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Eowyn Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Eowyn looks askance at the food on the tables, but says nothing, waiting for those more diplomatic than she to speak first.

Eowyn Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Half damage (5)
Genevieve Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 Evasion! No damage

Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Genevieve nimbly avoids the falling magma; Eowyn avoids the worst of it, and uses a wand to heal the damage.

"Agreed ... leave nothing unexplored, you never know where vital information will be found."

As the group prepares to enter, Eowyn touches the hilts of her weapons while murmuring, "ทำให้ใบมีดของฉันเป็นตะกั่ว". Casting Lead Blades.

----------------------------------------------
Genevieve Hunter Aspect: Mouse
Eowyn Hunter Aspect: none
Lead Blades: 4:00 minutes remaining

Eowyn Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Genevieve Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Eowyn feels the magic trying to prevent her from fighting, but manages to shake it off. She whistles for Genevieve to flank, and rushes up to assist Jivan.

Move and ready to attack; Genevieve flies around to attack together.

Flanking, Outflank, Precise Strike (if they apply...), Brain Noise
Eowyn Longsword: 1d20 + 7 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 4 - 2 = 20 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 3 + (3) = 14
Genevieve Bite: 1d20 + 8 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 4 - 2 = 15 damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (1) = 5

Eowyn Will #1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 Eowyn Will #2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Eowyn reels slightly at the mental onslaught, but still pulls out her bow and aims at one of the creatures. "What are these things???"

No buffs up; -2 for failing the save
Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 2 = 18 damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

She gives a single low whistle, and Genevieve stays at her side. Defend command.

Eowyn thanks Andy for the healing, and considers the suits. "Does anyone have any skill at tailoring? I myself do not."

Having no skill or magic suitable to the current task, Eowyn stands to the side and watches for any oncoming danger.

Eowyn smiles as Lumo's holy energy heals Genevieve's wounds. She takes a breath, then darts between the two undead.
Acrobatics vs AoO Yellow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 That's probably good.
Acrobatics vs AoO Red: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 - 2 = 10 And that probably isn't ...
She then whistles for Genevieve to attack.

Inspire Courage, Flanking, Outflank, Precise Strike
Eowyn Longsword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 damage (cold iron, slashing): 1d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 4 + (1) = 13

Genevieve Talon 2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24 damage (slashing): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Entering the vessel, Eowyn leaves her bow stowed and carries both swords in hand. She is surprised by the sudden attack; as Genevieve takes a serious wound, she furrows her brow.

"If anyone can spare a moment to attend to Genevieve's wound, I would very much appreciate it. Andy, what can you tell us about these things?"

Swift action to apply Bear focus to Genevieve (+2 CON, making her hit points now 12/18). Going to hold off on posting the rest of my turn until I hear what Andy can tell us about the creatures; it might change how I attack.

Stowing her bow, Eowyn points at the remaining hellhound and gives the low-high-low whistle. Genevieve flies off to attack the dog from behind while Eowyn follows, drawing her swords.

Swift to order Genevieve to "flank", move to stow bow, move up while drawing both weapons. Genevieve flies around into position and attacks the dog. She is at ground level to flank with Bon Jon, but flying.

Flanking, no other bonuses active
Bite: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
