Etiana's page

The little cleric winces in pain, and flicks her wrist to extract a wand from the wrist sheath to tap herself. Divine energy washes over the halfling as she does so.

SWIFT Draw wand. SA Use wand on self. MA draw whip.

CLW from wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Etiana continues on with the group...

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Ooh, Etiana may see...something?

Heeding Dominic and Valandil's observations most carefully, Etiana follows Dominic's lead and does her best to keep up with the duo, treading where they tread and avoiding what they avoid.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Moved her just inside the door. Looks like there are boxes to the left she can use to keep relatively hidden. If she can move one block left as part of the stealthy move to stay relatively hidden that's where she'll be.

Etiana watches the group's amateurish attempts with great amusement, and struggles mightily to avoid laughing at the unwitting comedy. In the midst of the it all, the little halfling misses Dominic's masterful entrance into the warehouse.

Realizing she would do little good outside, Etiana calls for a bit of help from Calistria Guidance +1 before moving into the warehouse.

Hmm, didn't make an entry for this. +3 dex, +4 size, +1 guidance

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 = 18

"But, as dear Grandmaster Torch here said, surely they will come to us, if we are with something they want. Wouldn't it be better that they come and we wait on them, than the other way around? If nothing happens, can't we then go to the area afterwards?"

"Hmm, Grandmaster Torch wants to meet me at the Pleasure Salon? Why, I did not know him to be so forward a man." The little cleric smiles at the thought, before leading the group to the holy salon.

Go Valandil! Get him to spill it!

Etiana here. Wanted you to know I'm around and following the conversation with great interest.

The little cleric leans closer to the poor captive man, her sweet scent reaching out with its gentle enticement. "We heard you're pretty good at this legitimate business you do. We really don't have trouble with you. In fact, I wouldn't mind getting to know you a little better, once this is all over. Of course, it would help if you can just help us with this one problem my friends and I are having. You know, just so we can get what I need to take care of sooner."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Sigh, that will not help her ego in the least. Etiana will have to go back to the Temple and rest up after all this...

The little cleric finally catches up to Dominic and the group. "Tsk. Tsk. It's not polite to make a lady chase after you, you know." With a wink to Dominic and the captive, Etiana takes the time to wait for the rest of the group alongside Dominic. Leaning in to Barnell, Etiana whispers, "Haven't you learned by now it's better to make friends than enemies? You really should consider being on my side than the opposite. I've been told the perks are rather...enjoyable."

I think you get MA to go across the square to the "gate", and then has to execute one SA challenge to get to the beginning of the next square. Question - is Barnell at the beginning or the end of the third square? In case anyone wants to try something at a distance, it's worth knowing we're either 60' or 90' away from Barnell, and a move action takes us to 30' or 60' away.

Etiana frowns as she sees Barnell is clearly on the run. The little cleric crosses the bathhouse and smiles innocently at the guard, before trying to step through to the mezzanine as if she belongs there.

Bluff DC15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Bah! Should've gone with the first instinct and sent Dominic after the man with a touch of luck aiding him.

The little cleric smiles. "We would like to pay this thief a visit, I think. Can you help us with his whereabouts?"

Barnell? Who's Barnell? Why are we asking about him? :P

"Well, let's not be too hasty here." Turning to the poor clerk, she eyes the prospect of convincing him to talk. "It might be better if this poor man has a chance to collect his thoughts and may be piece together what may have happened, no?" The little cleric turns and smiles at the embarrassed man. "Just take your time. Can you remember anything about what could have happened here? Hmm?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Sigh...it was worth a shot.

As does Etiana, though she struggles mightily and resorts to random scans, hoping something useful would find itself attracted to her...

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Do we go find this man named Barnel, if there's nothing more here? Any ideas about the missing statements?

The little halfling curtsies to the head of the Greycloaks. "Good day, respected Ser. We are indeed the ones assigned to the case. However, we are stomped, and are hoping dearly you, with your keen eyes and ears to the street, may have some clue as to who is disrupting the what should be a fair and honest market, had these vile folks respected you as they ought to."

Let's see if a bit of flattery gets our little girl somewhere.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

"Hrmph." Etiana turns in a huff at being slighted, before turning back with a hear-melting smile. "Well, come find me at the Temple. You can tell me more about your interesting wares." With the invitation and a wink at the poor merchant, the little halfling vanishes through the crowd and out of the place.

Hope that merchant spends a good while regretting what he passed up...

Etiana will try to salvage this scene here, as only a proper servant of Calistria can. Let's see if he takes bait.

You all try to handle the guards. Give up Zac if we have to, but I would prefer to salvage a win here for the whole team. Let them know a cleric of Calistria is "tending" to the man, if they do go somewhere private. If the guards are men, they should know better than to interrupt him at the moment.

Let's see if that 23 diplomacy roll is worth anything here (hint, hint - friendly reminder Etiana is pretty charming before this merchant)

Etiana sighs, and sighs again at needing to sigh so often with this group of brutes. Before the group can be fully separated, Etiana steps up to the injured man and touches him gently.

Drop Divine Favor for CLW
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Then, turning over to the party, she commands. "Someone keep that thug away from us!" With that command, Etiana returns her full attention to the merchant before her. "Is there anywhere a little more...private...I can take you to check on your wounds?" The symbol of Calistria seems to glow slightly at the suggestion, or is it just an illusion? "We would not want want the wound to fester, yes? Do you have someone who can mind the store here for a moment? A long moment?"

The sudden outburst catches Etiana by surprise, and she nearly bursts out laughing at the unexpectedness of it all.

Etiana delays, and sees how the merchant is.

The servant of Calistria smiles apologetically at the shopkeeper. "I am sorry my friend here has offended you. Surely even you realize the significance of your claims. He is not well groomed for conversation, but I rather like his refreshingly direct chats, so different from what I must deal with in the courts..."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

And if the merchant realizes you're a jerk, Etiana will try to rescue the conversation diplomatically :). If that's an option, that is. Etiana can resort to more demanding means...

That's just how Etiana looks at Dominic. You know, Sovereign Court and all. Love Dominic. You're doing just fine. :)

Etiana looks about with suspicious wonder, and is most careful to keep her decorum by withholding any signs of disbelief in the claims of the wares. The little cleric sighs inwardly at Dominic's rather direct approach, and watches the merchant's reactions most carefully.

After eyeing the efforts her mates took to get up on the roof, Etiana decides to stay down and keep company with the elven wizard.

The little halfling shrugs helplessly at the question. "It is so fascinating, though, all these attempts at The Test. I wonder what form the Test will take for this good Friar here."

As the fighter does a thorough undressing of the poor man, Etiana stays close and smiles most sweetly, showing no signs of moving back or turning away.

The little halfling shakes her head at her allies' attempts. Taking a deep breath and calling for her master's guidance, the servant of Calistria saunters up to the bound man. "You poor man." Caressing his cheek with her surprisingly soft hand, Etiana leans into the man, and the slight sweet scent of her presence makes its way to the poor victim. "You know how well Calistria rewards those who assists her servants, don't you? We really just need a bit of information here, and nobody needs to be hurt any more than they already are." She flashes a smile that is surprisingly warm and welcoming, given the situation. "Now please be a good boy and tell us what you know."

+1 Guidance, +1 Charming

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 28

Etiana bites her lip as she renews the dance, turning her whip into a frenzy of circles and lashes as she attempts to create an opening for Zac's strike.

Let's try again. Aid another Zac, for +4 to attack the bad guy.

Aid Another: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Hmm, why is everyone so far away from each other?

Seeing the threatening men and dog, Etiana draws her whip and, seeing the man come at her comrade Zac, begins a sultry whip dance aimed to distract the man.

MA draw whip SA aid Zac attack +4

Aid Another: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Sadly, the newly acquired whip gives the little cleric much trouble, and she struggles to get the dance motion going.

Still a bit miffed at the elfish wizard, the little cleric consoles the little woman and promises a return visit. Then, she straightens up, and follows the group to their next stop, likely to pay the priest a visit.

"Hey, now, leave this poor girl alone! Hush...shh...don't worry, I won't let him bully you like this. You just take your time, ok?" The halfling cleric gives the oversized wizard a mean stare. "You'd know it was a her we're looking for, if you cared enough to listen. Hrmph."

Ignoring Valandil and any response the uncouth wizard may have, the servant of Calistria returns her attention to the poor scared Rialla. "You just let me know if you happen to remember her name, ok?"

Etiana does not forgive you. :P

"You poor thing! It must have been so hard for you." Etiana continues to console the little woman, leaving the men to piece out what to do next.

Etiana approaches Barleyhusk and offers a comforting hug. "There, there. You tried what you could." The fellow halfling offers a sympathetic smile as she tries to cajole more information from Barleyhusk. "Could you remember anything else about that time? Anything from from the Graycloak or from the poor man?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Charming for another +1 if applicable :)

Etiana calls out to Master Shaine as the elf prepares to depart. "You seem tense, Master Kreighton, Ser. Perhaps a visit to the Temple would do you some good." With a hint of a wink behind the words, the cleric of Calistria turns her attention to the party members. "To the shop, then?" Etiana comments idly, voicing agreement with the inquisitor's choice.

Etiana studies the list slowly, before passing the list on. She smiles at Dominic's suggestion. "It sounds like a good plan. Shall we?"

As charming as Etiana is, I suspect the Charming trait doesn't apply here. Otherwise another +1 :P
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

The little cleric furrows her eyebrows as she loses herself in her thoughts, before brightening at the remembrance of something. "I have heard from one or another of my visitors about an alternate market for such goods, and how there's gold to be made there if one is into such things." The servant of Calistria offers what little tidbits she can muster up with the group.

Hit them all :). Open 'em and read 'em!

Etiana beams with delight, at being able to offer information that may prove helpful for the group.

Ooh, from Master Shaine himself! Master would be pleased. The beautiful petite little cleric of Calistria hurries into the muddy stables, seeming to bring a fresh air of spring with her to lift everyone's moods as she enters.

petite dot

Looks like a group that could use some good company. Perhaps that's why I'm sent. Etiana (VinGoodman) here, at your service ;).

A charming little halfling cleric sneaks in behind the Tian-Xian woman, and beams a smile over in the street performer's direction. "Xoricon! It is good to see you here. I would've thought you'd visit me over at The Temple by now, after what we've been through together." With a mischievous grin, the servant of Calistria lithely approaches Xoricon.

Congrats Ragnar! Hope that makes the near death experience worth it for ya. In the hands of your party, no less :P.

Feel free to come visit Etiana over at The Temple anytime. And who knows, our adventuring paths might just cross again!

As the man hands over the precious gifts, Etiana stretches on her tip-toes and plants a kiss on the ragged elf's cheek. "You are too kind! I hope to be able to hear more of what you've learned. You must have seen so much of the world! Perhaps you can come visit me sometime..." With a shy sly? grin for dear Nigel as she listens raptly at his tales, the halfling cleric wonders if she can have him calling on the name of Calistria yet.

Awesome. How many people were affected by those masks? I think only one, but I wasn't sure. Anything we need to do to help take care of it?

Thank you so much for running this. I've enjoyed running with you. Twice now, if I count correctly :). Let me know if you want to run some more. I'll be in line and hoping you'll be able to pick me out of the crowd!

The conflicts in this one were intense. I loved it! Etiana may have serious need of a manicure after all this. We had quite a few nail-biting scenes.

Although I think I had her biting her lips rather than biting her nails...

The halfling soothes Nigel as only a servant of Calistria can. "Why don't you sit down for a moment. I know it must have been hard to see all this. We were able to save some of the people. We know you did not mean to cause harm. The mist affected us as well. It was so sad to see my friends fight each other as they did." Etiana flashes Nigel a charming smile, reflecting the sincerity behind her words.

As Nigel calms down, Etiana relays what they uncovered as they searched the museum. "I think something dreadful happened with my friends with those masks. Do you know what might help rid them of their condition?"

"Stop! Oh Shagruk, don't hurt the monkeys! Can't you see they're all running away now? They're no harm to us anymore." The halfling cleric looks with pity at the flamed monkeys, secretly wishing they manage to duck in time to avoid the worst of Shagruk's wrath.

Aww, you took away your wrathful ways. It was funny.

Our resident druid was raging with fire. Really. Etiana is so not deleting this post.

The last time I prepared the goodberries spell was...never, I think.

Etiana looks up, and frowns at the height. "One moment, Nigel Ser. We'll try to get you down. We were hoping you can tell us. But, let us get you down from that uncomfortable looking place first." Etiana looks to the party. "I think there's a storage room. May be there's a ladder there?"

Assuming there's no issues, Etiana assures Nigel they'll be right back, and convinces the party to go with her to rummage the storage room to see if there's a ladder to reach the 20' height, assuming he's on top of that. Otherwise, if we can reach him without incident, we untie him and help him down.

It's a first level druid spell. Shagruk can take care of it after we're done here :).

In case you needed a spell in the future and you don't have the right spellcaster in the party, you can buy it from an NPC for (caster level x spell level x 10). So, in this case, without Shagruk, it would cost 10gp to get a casting here in town.
