Ezren, Wizard of the open road.'s page

I wanted to jump in and let everyone know I was still here. I missed my last action and haven't gotten to my next one so you haven't heard from me in a little bit.

This weekend is my brother's wedding. I between prep for that and work I don't have much free time and it seems the time I get doesn't really line up with what is going on in the game.

Sorry

Sorry been a bit of a week, Back at it now

Moving deeper into the darkness Ezren diverts a minuscule amount of power to create a hover orb of light. Light Cantrip When he finds the magical ring he calls out to his party "Hold, I have found something. Please stand watch while I determine what this is." he spends his time deciphering the magic of the item.

That done he follows Merisiel's advice and goes west.

Thank you, Now I have pet shop boys in my head.

Ezren cautiously follows his fellows, as he walks he mutters the magical words of rote to reveal any magic that may be in the area.

Detecting Magic

Ezren nods to Kyra in thanks for her divine healing. When Merisiel asks about acid, the wizard grumbles a little. "No no I cannot, If given infinite time I could come up with something, but at the moment, no. Maybe we can ask the alchemist for potions?"

Ezren awkwardly caught the head with a gasp, after a brief fumble he glared at Merisiel making plain what he thought of her antics. With a grumble he examined the mark.

After a moment he turned to his fellows, he posed thoughtfully and said "Ah yes, I see, I see. These marks are most defiantly the cause of our trouble here. They are runes of animation. Specifically these golems."

Arcana: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Spoiler open

Ezren gasps as he is hit by the statue. New blood poured from a gash. The wizard did not want to take any more blows like that and descided to defend himself.

Cast shield on self for 1 action. +1 AC, Hardness 10, Allows me as a reaction to shield block, reduce the damage by 5. 1 turn

Cast mirror image on self for 2 actions, 1 minute duration. If you need a primer let me know and i will post it

I want to do 1 of two things but I am not sure which is more reasonable, either move away from yellow 1 square to prevent it hitting me with 3 attacks then cast Mirror image. Or stay where I am and cast mirror image and shield.

Does casting a spell provoke attack of opportunity while engaged?

Ezren shouts a quick "Thanks" for the rogue's assistance.Wanting Pull his weight he targets another statue.

Cast acid arrow at Blue: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Acid Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 4, 6) = 15
Persistant acid: 1d6 ⇒ 4

With a Grunt of contempt for the stone guardians Ezren begins to focus his power. He mumbles arcane words as he builds up the simple spell to add a devastating effect. As the spell concludes, Ezren unleashes 3 glowing arrows of energy at the closest statue.

Cast 3 action magic missile at green.
3 Magic missiles @Green: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 3) + 3 = 10 Force Damage

Doing his part to assist in researching, Ezren begins by sifting through material on the various elements that make up society.

Hour 1: Society: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

After taking in all he can handle on that subject he turned his attention to one he was more interested in. Thumbing through ancient tomes of arcana reminded him of his first steps in the wizarding world.

Hour 2: Arcana: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Delving deeper into his studies he the mage eventually found himself down a more left handed path with all the secrets of the occult being illuminated to his eyes.

Hour 3: Occultism: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Time flowed, Ezren decided to switch his focus from the mystical to the mundane a topic he was less comfortable with.

Hour 4: Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Meri Acrobat is +14 Athletics is +10 Thievery +13.

Also since you pointed it out. Ezren is trained and has +9 in Nature, I didn't include it because I thought for sure someone would have better.

I don't want to be a skill roll hog though so I am good with sticking to the list as you made it if everyone else is.

I agree Meri, I do have +10 to Acro but I think it might be better if we all grab the one we are best at at first. We can team up on something if we need too later. I have Arcana +13 Society +13, Occult +11 and Survival +9, Anyone higher?

Ezren kept pace with the others, He had no particular questions regarding their pretty straight forward assignment so he just listened.

The old wizard bows with a flourish, His cloak whipping about him. "Well met Vash-Vatom, I am a wizard of many titles, but Ezren will suffice. He said with a small wink at the goblin. "With your leave my lady, might I add your tunic is most vibrant and compliments your exquisite taste in jewelry?"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

"Well met and welcome, friends." The old wizard said, his teeth clenching a pipe as he reclined on a conformable chair. A half full glass of wine sat on a small table well within easy reach of the aged human.

"Not very often I am afforded esteemed company such as yourselves." His voice is aged harsh but his tone is gentle.
