Estra has no skills eligible for a Day Job. All other reporting info was previously submitted here. The name of that PC is Feero. Oh, and that PC is a brand-new level 1. I will be applying the Chronicle immediately, so you can adjust the Chronicle to 500 gp for that. And Feero will be Silver Crusade. Thanks!

"I'm just happy the ritual worked and all of us survived. That soldier definitely made it look like the ritual could be deadly. I'm at the end of my life, so it wouldn't be no thing if the ritual had killed me, but look at Hiko, here! Too young, too young. We're lucky, I think."
Estra summons a bit of guidance then studies the body, curious to see if she can make anything out from its current state.
Estra wraps the disk in her shawl and slips it in her bag for safekeeping. She follows along, Honaire silently floating at her heel.
"Hooooooo... The Whispering Tyrant's no joke! If we can do a little thing here to strengthen the wards on his prison... that's a good thing indeed. Even this little old lady won't mind helping one bit." "Whatcha got there, Daedin?"
"No, I'm just saying we do this together. No funny business. There's no rush, so you can slow down and we do this orderly. Nobody betrays anybody."
"Whoa! Slow down there, elf-boy. Or elf-girl, whichever it is. I can't tell with you anymore. Oh, don't get all offended, it's these eyes, not the fact that you all have bangs." Estra looks around and starts calling out members of her own party to help. "Hiko, Bock. Somebody," and she waves her hands indicating the coffer. "Somebody get over there and help. Our eyes and your eyes both on it when it's opened. We did this whole thing together, we'll open that together too."
Estra follows Honaire to be closer to the action. Okay, she follows Honaire because she doesn't trust the elf, and doesn't want to be caught away from Honaire when the elf eventually turns on them. She draws her sling as she moves, hoping that it might be more effective against this thing than it was against the gargoyle. Actions:
Estra glares at the elf. I'm not certain this was how it had to go! But she still has to deal with what is now the threat at hand. She waits to see how the thing will attack, opting to protect herself instead. Actions:
Estra stares at the swirling thing of arms with simple awe on her face. "I've seen a lot of things in this life, haven't I Honaire. Nothing like this. What is that thing?"
"What are you, thing?"
Estra grows silent as the elf behaves in a way that is surprising to her as well. So readily gives up his team's weapons? This is not normal.
"Well, that's because we came in after you." Estra laughs a full-bellied laugh. "That should be obvious, shouldn't it?" Her laughter is both a private amusement and an invitation for the elf to join.
"We're on a quest for some artwork. Some silly-dilly fiddy-faddy wants more art, and thinks there's some here."
Estra slides up beside Daedin, as quietly as she can.
"Hmm. Let's be honest; the VCs are usually sending us out to kill and steal. Could this actually be an opportunity for us to, just, help someone and share the reward?" "Seelah." She looks around. "Where is that paladin?" When Seelah arrives, she pushes her to direct her senses at the group. "Are they evil?"
AP's would be an entity unto themselves correct especially for PbP. Would you play the whole thing or only the sanctioned part? I'm currently playing in 4(!) APs, but only one for credit. In all cases we're playing homegrown rules (so, essentially, PFS campaign mode). I imagine that there are likely some high level PCs out there that just want to play the book 5/6 sanctioned parts to level beyond 12, but I much prefer to play the whole story. Finding a group online that can keep up with that is a sizeable challenge. That said, one of my goals is to run a complete Reign of Winter on these boards, but I would try to recruit only strong RPers with good posting rates. If you're shooting for the long game, you have to be picky about your PCs.
Estra follows Daedin in; she too investigates the substance. "Within the last hour, you say? Hmmm... we're not alone in here, for sure."
"Well, did you bring some? I can activate a wand for you." She looks at all of the others who have used and offered to use various types of healing wands. "Of course, any of these fine folks can too."
Estra studies both of the items that Hiko found. "Good eye, missy. You must eat your carrots, eh?"
"No, dearie, the paladin's channeling healed me up good. All set now, see?" Estra--without any self-consciousness--pulls up her blouse in the back to show how the damage has all been healed. Estra moves up by Daedin, trying to get a better look at the large hallway at this end of the room. "Where to now?"
I'm not sure what to do here, folks. Estra has a silver weapon, which might get past the DR/? but it's not magical, so isn't going to get through the DR/magic. All of the spells that she might use need living humanoid targets. If someone has a way to enchant her silver dagger, call it out and she'll offer it up. But I don't see Estra or Honaire making much impact here, if at all.
Estra loads up another magical stone, flinging it at the demon statue. Actions:
Estra steps back to get out of the reach of the demonic statue. She draws her sling, and drops one of her special bullets into it before flinging it at the creature. Actions:
Estra stumbles when she's attacked from behind, turning her head to get a more studied look at the now-mobile statue!
Estra ceases her reverie and finally looks at the statue everyone else has turned to. "Well, that's ugly. Sad man-snake and the creepy demon." "I guess this is all about the Whispering Tyrant, somehow. Couldn't've expected it to be all daffodils and sugar candy. Anybody got an idea who these figures might be?"
Estra looks at Hiko with a sharp eye. "Did you really just ask to touch my husband?" Her voice has lost all frivolity, and her eyes stare daggers.
"Bahahahahahaha!" She bursts out with laughter followed by a friendly slap on the shoulder. "Whoooo, I had you there!" She shakes her head at amusing herself. "Oh go ahead, you can touch him; he's there. A sword'll slice him, that's for sure. But I don't even know if it's really him, or just something out of my mind. He won't tell me why he came back, but he protects me as well as he ever did." She looks up at him wistfully. "It's nice to have him around."
"Hoo-hoo! Don't we live fancy lives! If I ever let myself take a bath like that, these old bones would never want to leave. Don't trust myself with it, nope! I'll stick with my sponge and soap; there's more to life than a warm bath, younglings!" Estra follows the group to the north, chuckling as she goes, with Honaire staying close and keeping a stoic watch over the proceedings.
Estra take a moment before they leave the room with the vines. "I should've done this earlier. I always imagine that the Venture Captains ain't gonna send is into immediate danger... but I'm usually wrong. Need to learn to call Honaire early... 'cause he don't come quick." She pulls out a censer and some incense and begins preparing a space in the center of the room. She sits on the floor, unconcerned with the cold stone, and draws her shawl around her shoulders as she begins breathing in the incense, muttering unintelligible words underneath her breath as she begins summoning her companion. Though she said he doesn't come quick, it's barely a minute before a ghostly apparition appears in the incense smoke, tall and knightly but composed entirely out of a translucent green ectoplasm.
"There you are, hubby! These are the new Pathfinders they've sent us out with this time." She waves to the group, and the ghostly eyes travel over them all, but it's uncertain to what degree he recognizes what he's told, as he doesn't speak or nod. "This is Honaire, my loyal husband. Couldn't bear to be without me, so stuck around after he died. Extravagant gesture--as was always his wont--but appreciated nonetheless. He stayed as young as he ever was, and still loves all this!" He laughs a bit as she indicates her old body. They both stay with, but behind Daedîn, as they group wanders over to the room with the pool.
Sorry for my disappearance this weekend. The unfortunate confluence of a busy schedule and getting hit with a cold and cough took me out. I'm posting this in my games first thing today, then I'll be catching up in gameplay; I should be caught up by the end of the day.
"Eh, I'm happy to help the back line, too, Missy. You were here, so you got it." Still, though, Estra steps up into the space made for her by Hiko and grants guidance to Daedin instead as she redirects Honaire's sword to a new target. Actions:
Estra allows Honaire's sword to keep hacking away at Daedîn's vines while she ponders something she can do to help. She slides up into the room with the others, and gently taps Hiko on the elbow. "Keeps those eyes sharp now, aim true." she says. Actions:
This spell imbues the subject with a touch of divine guidance. The creature gets a +1 competence bonus on a single attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. It must choose to use the bonus before making the roll to which it applies.
Estra moves over behind Seelah so she can get a good view into the room with the vines. Who knew I'd need you to fight vines, Honaire. Really, how could I have known. What are we doing fighting vines anyway? Still, she's not worthless without Honaire. She uses her mind to conjure a sword made of pure force, glowing with the sickly greenish hue of powerful grave energy. The swords whips towards one of the vines at her command. Actions:
Work surprised me with a three-day training class today, which is keeping me away from my computer. I'll get a post for Estra up tonight; unfortunately, Spiritualist is new to me, and I want to make sure that I get the process of manifesting Honaire correct, so I can't just bash out a quick post. Thanks for your patience!
"Well, what's it create; anything we want?" She looks around the space, lingering on the creepy, wiggly vines. "Let's see what the wind does the next time it comes through. It seems to be kinda regular, right?" She keeps her eyes on the vines as she waits for the wind to rush through the room again.
"Hahahaha! No wind!" Estra gives Bock a wide, friendly grin, then looks up to examine the vines.
Estra will give the glowing symbol a look. "My magic isn't quite traditional; I may not be able to decipher this."
Estra steps deeper into the entrance hall, but stays back from Daedin and any others who take a lead position; she knows both her strengths and her weaknesses...
"Look at him sneakin' around all quiet-like. Don't you know you got an old lady with you on this one? If my bum knee don't ruin that, my wicked sense of humor will! hahahahaha"
"Hmmm. Not used to being the second wave; this place has been through more than once over, looks like." Estra tries to pinpoint the source of the voices that she can just faintly make out.
"Nah, it hasn't been that long." Estra responds. "Shortly after my husband came back. Coupla years? Probably longer... time keeps getting faster, missy." "Figured if Honaire was gonna stick around, it could only be for good, and the Society was as good a place to do that as any. Least it would be if the Venture Captains had any clue what they were doing." She looks the young Tien up and down, getting a good look at her. "What made a young pretty girl like you join up? Lots of ways to spend a life that'd be easier and simpler than this mess, and you got a lot of life to live."
@GM, can you please delete both Mun of Ashava and Truddig from the list of active PCs? Thanks!
The old woman raises her head in time with the cheering from outside; a perceptive viewer could swear that she'd been dozing. "Are you sure this Tome is all that special? I could be playing bridge out there, you know. Maybe go home with some of your gold instead of some foo-foo quest." She sits up straighter in her chair, holding her shawl in her lap with both hands. She fusses with it as she talks, pulling along an edge with one hand as the feels the cloth drag through the other hand, absent-mindedly. "So where are we supposed to go, then? This how the Society does things now, open an atlas to a page at random and just go there, see what you find?" "The Decemvirate is getting lazy...."
Sorry, I was planning on a Feb start for gameplay (i.e. character availability), which I believe I'd have been able to meet with Truddig. But, I'm not sure where I got that start date. Reading through the mentor lounge thread that kicked this off, Feb isn't mentioned, so that must be something that I assumed without evidence. Anyway, that's my mistake, not yours! I'll be playing Estra, the Spiritualist iconic. The chronicle will have to be assigned to a new PFS#, as all of my existing (non-CORE) PCs are in games currently. I'll get a post up in GamePlay; I won't be able to get the alias populated until later today. Forum User Name: Zin Z'arin
