Ezro Lindran's page

I completely understand!

Its been a good 4.5 years! Thank you for GMing and I hope you enjoy all the time with your grandchild!

As your doctor, I cannot recommend this continued behavior. I might have to raise your co-pay.

Smite against...lady down south next to vang? Is that a thing?

Ezro summons forth a wall of whirling blades across the groups front line. "Get cut demons and demon worshipers!"

Blade Barrier across the entire length of the room, running in front of us and through the front enemy group. Reflex DC = 21 to avoid the barrier. -2 to the Reflex due to Mythic Prayer.

Blade Barrier Damage/None if Reflex Passes: 11d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 1, 4, 4, 5, 3, 5, 3, 1) = 34

Im not attacking anyone, do I still have a smite?

Oh my lord so much going on!

Ezro, feels the energy rippling through the air from his allies and their foes. Moveing forward behind Aerianna, he raises his Holy symbol up and releases a quick wave of healing energy. Seeing the amount of foes in the room, he calls upon his own mythic power, recalling a powerful Prayer from Iomedea.

"In the name of the Inheritor, and those fallen who serve her, let my allies be bolstered, and may Her foes face woe!" Ezro exclaims.

The powerful Prayer will wash into the room.

Spending 3 MP and an additional MP to recall Mythic Prayer, and casting it. Then using Quick Channel with my extra Move action to Channel positive energy. I am NOT utilizing Selective Channel due to number of enemies.

Mythic Prayer - +2 on Attacks/Damage/Saves/Skills for allies. -2 to enemies, allies also heal or gain temporary hit points equal to double my Mythic Tier (8hp), and enemies take that much damage. 60ft Burst from myself.

Channel: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 5, 2, 2) = 15

"I think that staff may be of use to me." Ezro says, picking up the Staff of Healing.

Giving Alikia a grin, he says"Beware there is no bed bugs in that carpet from the last owners."

Moving along with the others, he nods to Hyram after his query, "Allow me a moment to pray for us."

Ezro will provide Bless as his action before opening the door.

"I do not think stepping into a room bathed in unholy writings and evil is a good idea...has anyone detecting unseen forces within? Nothin lurking in the shadows?" Ezro says, in a somewhat worried tone as he watches the paladin.

Ezro shakes his head to the paladin, "I apologize, I need not ask Iomedea for such a blessing this day. Perhaps Hyram has been provided such?"

The cleric looks over the room as the others discuss the misunderstandings of knowledge in magical traps.

"This room is rather uncomfortable to be within. I wonder why the demons would seal and hide a room of their own making...could it be the room was here before the fall of this structure?"

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

I agree with 3 as well.

"Those double doors are promising." Ezro says as he moves to look over the cursed sword.

"Arushelae has a point. Perhaps we can redeem this weapon at Drezen. The only issue is getting it there safely. Perhaps we should return to pick it up once the area is safe?"

Ezro moves with Aladir, and makes ready as he heads to the north east. Aiding with his own sight, he scan everything once over as Aladir gives a closer inspection.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

"I feel like I am seeing double...or triple...or quadruple." Ezro says.

Holding up his holy symbol, Ezro provides a blessing to the group.

Casting Bless.

"Agreed Aladir, there is a lot of information here to unpack, and not a lot of time. Alikia, perhaps you can study that jar more closely at a later date? It could have something to do with the Elixir."

Squaring his pack and making sure all is ready, he nods to Aladir, "Did you want to take point or will Aerianna?"

Looking around on the table and scanning the maps, Ezro remarks, "This information could be very usefull. I would suggest we keep it for later."

Looking to the others for confirmation, he will begin rolling up the maps and storing them in his pack if the party is in agreement.

Perception on the Maps just in case: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Will Save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Ignoring the buzzing, Ezro dives into the room, to lay a hand on Aerianna, bestowing a Touch of Good on her.

Touch of Good - +5 sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for 1 round.

"Perhaps I will try something a bit different. Iomedea! Bring down your sword unto these demons and demon worshipers, and smite them with your power!"

Ezro summons a blinding white light into the center of the room, that bursts into holy energy, searing those in the room who are evil.

Any Evil and Neutral Creatures need a Will DC19 vs Holy Smite

You draw down holy power to smite your enemies. Only evil and neutral creatures are harmed by the spell; good creatures are unaffected.

The spell deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8) to each evil creature in the area (or 1d6 points of damage per caster level, maximum 10d6, to an evil outsider) and causes it to become blinded for 1 round. A successful Will saving throw reduces damage to half and negates the blinded effect.

The spell deals only half damage to creatures who are neither good nor evil, and they are not blinded. Such a creature can reduce that damage by half (down to one-quarter of the roll) with a successful Will save.

Damage Humans: 5d8 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 5, 2) = 18
Damage Evil Outsiders: 10d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 6, 5, 3, 3, 1, 1, 6) = 33

Ezro continues to glow with holy light, and holding his symbol out, wills a burst of energy outwards, closing up the wounds on the front line of combat.

Channel: 6d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 6, 4, 6) = 25

Following the others to the door, he makes a look of disgust at the creature. Taking a moment, Ezro begins to immediately recite a prayer to Iomedea. With a flourish a burst of holy energy emanates from him, lighting the area.

"May this Burst of Glory lead us to victory more swiftly!"

Burst of Glory:Allies in the area of this spell at the time of casting gain a +1 sacred bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects, plus 1 temporary hit point per caster level (maximum 20). You shine with a white or golden radiance equal to a torch for the spell’s duration, though you can dismiss the glow effect as a free action.

"They could do any number of things with this circle. Summon evil outsiders, and create contracts, extract information, etc." Ezro muses while looking at the circle.

"It would be best to destroy it should we reclaim this place. It was experiments like this that would bring more demons into our world."

Moving on to the next door, Ezro readies himself.

What an odd and interesting party...

As the demons come at the group, Ezro holds his holy symbol aloft, and beseeches his goddess.

"Iomedea bless your soldiers and followers! Bless your chosen!" Ezro prays.

Casting Bless!

Ezro nods and waits back from the group until the beasts arrive.

Hold turn until after the demons get to the party.

Wincing as the creature bites him, he smells the metallic, chemical scent of the poison, and hopes it does not affect him.

"Ah, these creatures had poison too I think, blasted beasts."

Then hearing Aerianna curse, he nods, "Yup, I believe they did. Let me see the wound."

Going over to Aerianna he examines the wound and over the course of a few moments, cleanses the poison from it while the others discuss next steps.

Fortitude DC21: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Restoration is now used

"Aerianna! Focus on them, leave your wounds to Iomedea and I!"

Ezro chants a short spell casting a Cure Critical Wounds(Cure Critical Burning Daylight: 4d8 + 11 ⇒ (7, 5, 3, 6) + 11 = 32, then braving the blows from the beast inside the doorway, he moves into the room and glowing with mythic power Channels the healing power of Iomedea. Channel excluding the two monsters: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 3, 4, 1) = 20

I am provoking an AOO from the demon in the doorway.

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Pushing aside the confusion entering his mind, he raises his holy symbol, providing a Prayer for his companions.

Normal Prayer: +1 Attach, Damage, Saves, and Skills, -1 for foes within 60ft.

To boldly go where no one else (except demons) have gone before!

"Why would we withdraw? The enemy is in this place and we come prepared to vanquish them. We have Iomedeas guiding hand with us, let us not disappoint her." Ezro says. Looking around he realizes he came very close to preaching to his friends and companions and blushes slightly, before continuing.

"I am still strong enough to continue, perhaps we should."

Yay! Glad to hear everything went well with the surgery!

"The politics of the underworld I have heard is very gruesome Hyram. It is a thing I think we can not relate to. I am uncomfortable with anyone here wearing an item bestowed by this witch. While I am a powerful healer, curses are something else entirely." Ezro says, eyeing the woman.

"A deal with the devil to gain information may help us in the short term, but what is this in the long term to the dealer..."

Ezro starts slightly when he hears Hyrams anger coming down the hallway, "Oh dear, it appears our inquisitor has found something to rouse his ire even more..."

Stepping to the doorway, he looks into the room, and sees the green elf. Ezro quickly readies himself as Hyram speaks with the demoness, scowling as he sees the dead body at the foot of her bed.

"The interior decorator definitely went with a theme here..." Ezro mentions looking around at the walls.

"Also be sure to check it for traps while your there. I can almost feel the amount of traps this place has in these walls..."

"Let us take care as we move in further. Who knows what other traps the demons have ready.." Ezro says as he works to heal some of the others wounds.

Channel 1: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 5, 6, 5) = 23
Channel 2: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 1, 5, 3) = 17

Everyone gets back 40HP

Seeing the mighty blow from the minotaur on the paladin, Ezro exclaims, "I am worrying now!"

Gathering holy energies to himself again, he reaches out, "Inheritor! Close this soldiers wounds!"

A white beam of light hits Aerianna, healing most of the damage taken, and easing her pain.

Using my mythic ability to cast Heal from a range of close instead of touch.

Aerianna - Heal - Gain 110 HP back, and lose the following conditions if you have them: ability damage, blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, feebleminded, insanity, nauseated, poisoned, sickened, and stunned

Alikia. What you doing in the minotaur encounter?

Now that camping season is over and wife and I are home for the winter, I will try to post at least once per day on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and once over the three day weekend (Saturday, Sunday, Monday), so we can move the game along at a somewhat faster rate.

I will poke Alikia for an update.

Holding forth his holy symbol, Ezro channels healing energy into Aerianna, helping to seal her wounds some what. "I believe the devil-taurs have a bit of an advantage against us for the time being! Alikia, are you able to teleport us behind them?"

Cure Serious Wounds burning Daylight Targetting Aerianna: 3d8 + 11 ⇒ (4, 7, 7) + 11 = 29

Very nice! Reminds me of my first truly amazing kill in a tabletop game. About fifteen years ago I was in a party of sixth-level adventurers that ran into what was basically a lesser balor and we were too new to gaming to realize we needed to run.

Two of us died in the first attack, and when I attacked it to try and distract it while the other two ran, I rolled three consecutive natural 20s, which that GM had a houserule for: if your crit confirm is a nat-20, you get a third roll, and if that's a nat-20, it's a "divine intervention" insta-death, no matter what it is. So my 6th-level druid took down a level 15-16ish demon in one hit. Was pretty awesome.

Of course, the druid died when the thing exploded in its death throes, but the GM thought it was so awesome that he reincarnated me as a same-level centaur, which the party halfling promptly stared using for his mount. Good times...good times.

LOL! That sounds like Always Sunny in the Forgotten Realms! :D

Anti-climactic is just another term for 'well-planned'. ;)

Well this boss was real hyped, then we got to them and found out that we absolutely could not face her toe to toe...so the fight basically devolved into just mean, and my anti-magic talisman(wizard) while the other two just sat outside making sure the door stayed closed (final battle was set in a 15 by 15 foot room...it was so dumb).

For your 2 year adventure to wrap up in such a manner was...meh.

Alikia DID get to crit a Jabberwoky with a vorpal sword though on a nat 20! First turn! First attack! Sub boss dead! No one even passed the knowledge check on it. We dubbed it the Goober Dragon and continued on. The DM had ordered some take out just before the fight expecting it to take an age (as high level battles with strong foes tend to do).

NP DM Papa! That game looks entirely too addicting! Alikia and I played it in real life when it released about 6-7 years ago, and the CRPG looks almost word for word the same game I can't wait to pick it up for us.

It is addicting!!!

Not quite word for word with the AP, but close. It adds some areas, changes things a bit (for instance, Boken gives the moon radish quest, not Svetlana), however the feel of it is very good.

I DM'd it thru the end of Chapter 3 (2?), when I had a group at my home, but it ended in an almost TPK and we went on to a different AP. Ask Hyram about his bear shaman druid and his death......

-- david

Ours ended with my mentally, and emotionally scared Cavalier in the room with the final boss and our wizard just slav squating next to her casting his null magic sphere as I pounded her with my non-magical, magical Numarian weapon. It was entirely anti-climactic.

Ezro runs towards the wall as he sees the others disappear behind it, only to hear the roars. Hearing Aerianna and Alikia, he pops through the wall sees the horrible creatures.

"You said Minotaur! What is that?!" the cleric yells.

Holding up his holy symbol, Ezro prays to Iomedea, infusing the magic with mythic power. "Inheritor! I beseech you to aid us in destroying these abominations of the Abyss!"

Casting Prayer with 1 Mythic Point to make it Mythic Prayer. all allies receive:

+2 Untyped Attack, Damage, Saves, Skills, and Attribute checks. further they receive double my Mythic rank in Temporary Hitpoints (8HP)

Frowning at Aerianna, "I would still wish to try. Even if we can save one from this fate, it would set my heart more at ease."

Listening to Arueshalae, he studies the end of the canyon, "I do not currently know any dispelling magic, but if we know it is an illusion, can we not just walk through it?"

Fortitude: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Ezro feels the stony gaze of the basilisk begin stiffen him, but he shakes off the effects quickly. "Yes it appears they turn you to stone with a gaze!"

I think they are all dead...

Looking to the others, and making sure everyone is alright, Ezro relaxes slightly and looks around at the statues of the other crusaders somewhat morosely, "I guess we know what has happened to these poor souls. We should be sure to return when this area is safe, and see if we cannot free them."

Alikia is planning on posting, shes just had a heck of a time with the baby recently ;)

"Disgusting beasts!" Ezro shouts, drawing his Longsword, and stepping up to the creature attacking Arueshalae and swinging his longsword at it. The blade bites deep into the creatures hide.

"Does anyone know what these creatures are? I don't remember demons like these."

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Damage if Evil Outsider: 1d8 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 5 + (4, 6) = 20
Damage Normal: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

FYI we are in Richmond VA. as such will be right in the path of Hurricane Florence. It is very probable we will lose power for an indeterminate amount of time from Thursday night onwards.

Ezro is paying more attention to the ground he is walking than where they are headed too. Having tripped over multiple razor sharp rocks, he is oblivious to their surroundings until Hyram speaks about an ambush. Stoping and looking up, he takes in the surroundings. The statues catch his eye, "Odd, I did not know demons made statues. I suppose it makes sense they would venerate themselves though..."

He looks closely at the gap in the cliff wall, studying it for any apparent scouts or traps he could make out from a distance.

"The Ivory Sanctum...do we know anything of this place? From before the Worldwound?"

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

OOC: Is it possible to either contact Sosiel before or after he leaves for the bell? Need to tell him about the death of his brother.

I will indeed be casting! Also I will probably get a post up this weekend...I am just to tired right now to get to it. I am sure Alikia will bug me on Sunday. ;)

I believe that DM Papa was doing that off screen as it would take up a lot of time in a Play by Post.
