Gadriel the Lost's page

Gadriel stays atop the table and breaks out into an odd laugh while Abu glares harshly at the mismatched creature.

Misfortune Hex the creature, then Cackle to extend both durations

As Abu's eyes glow, a black cloud surrounds the monster. Roaring, it suddenly seems off-balance and bumps into the wall.

Gadriel scampers up onto the slab, looking over the dwarf's shoulder at the creature. Abu's eyes glow black again while a low growl comes from the tiny animal's mouth.

Move to see, evil eye the creature's attack roll, then worry about how to survive. :D

"Abu agrees. All need rest, Korriban needs bath. We worry though, what may return or await if we leave and come again. Abu is tired too."

Gadriel nods her head. "We see no more necromancy lingering." Gadriel will pick up the macabre body part and put the arm through the straps on her pack.

Sorry all. Had a minor surgery on Wednesday, and it took way more out of me than I had anticipated. I'm back for the most part though. Sorry for the delay. :)

Gadriel slowly moves towards the torso, eyes full of morbid curiosity which are only mirrored by the small monkey riding her shoulder. Abu's eyes glow a little, signifying the use of his magic.

Detect Magic, then she'll look over the torso to see if she can determine why it's still moving.

Gadriel shakes her head sadly at Diamon. "We are sorry. Abu had no more ability to mend and tend to the fruits of battle. Abu is growing tired, Abu's power is waning."

Sadly, I used both my cure spells in the fights. I've got an obscuring mist mist as my last spell. :D

Abu looks over the odd assortment of items, his eyes a red hue. "Abu says some of the items are enchanted. The armor, the cloth, the ring, and the finger." She places her hand upon the items, one at a time. Her eyes glaze over as she starts to describe the intricate magic imbued. "The armor has a minor enchantment of protection. It will assist against the swords of the living, but not the shadowy touch of death. The cloth is wrapped in summoning magic, tied to the dead and drained but still usable. The ring is also wrapped in protective magics, though it is also enchanted to ward against the touch of the grave. The finger contains many charges for another magic. A word can overwhelm the target with the stench of death." Her eyes refocus as she shakes her head slightly, and Abu's eyes return to their normal color.

"Abu can use the finger, and we would not oppose the robe. Though, we wonder if Korriban knows a person who may help to make the robe... look different... at least the outside."

When offered the dagger, she shakes her head. "Abu thinks another should take the weapon. We are not versed in its use, so another who is should use it."

Sorry all! Work esploded, I'll try and get a proper reply as well as some spellcraft checks in by tomorrow morning. :D

Abu hops off the little girl's shoulder and scampers over to the huge creature. The small monkey lifts one of the unconscious creature's eyelids before letting it fall back. Reaching out to pat the creature, Abu's eyes glow white for a brief second before the fallen foe's breath eases and becomes regular again. With an intelligent nod, the monkey returns, scampering back up Gadriel to her shoulder once again.

"Abu has stopped the creature's life bleed, in case others wish to engage in talk with it."

Cast stabilize. :D

Here!

Gadriel jumps as the door crashes open, but Abu seems unfazed. His eyes glowing black, he gestures a tiny paw at the monster. A grey aura shimmers around the creature as Gadriel starts laughing again.

Misfortune hex him, and see where this goes. :D

Gadriel moves to an advantageous spot before whatever is banging on the door decides to force the issue.

Gadriel steps to the side, tapping Adoros on the shoulder. Abu's eyes continue glowing a light yellow as Gadriel smiles at him between laughs.

5' step, guidance the only one she can touch, then continue cackling. :D Now stomp him guys!

Gadriel continues staring at the flying blue creature and laughing, Abu on her shoulder staring with glowing blue eyes...

Running out of things to do here. :D She'll Evil Eye the creatures skill checks and cackle, but I'm not sold it's going to help much.

Gadriel reaches out her softly glowing hand and lightly taps Korriban on the shoulder. His palate is overwhelmed by a sickeningly sweet taste as his wounds knit. As she continues laughing you can't be sure it's not at the uncomfortable taste now in your mouth.

Discharge the CLW on her hands to Korriban, keep up the cackle to extend the durations. :D

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Continuing her odd laugh, Gadriel looks over at Korriban and Diamon and motions towards herself. Abu's eyes shift to white, and a similar sheen seems to surround Gadriel's motioning hand.

Cackle to extend the durations, then cast a Cure Light Wounds and hold the charge.

Abu's eyes shift from green back to black, as the strange magic continues to barrage the creature.

Gadriel, however, just continues to laugh.

Evil Eye again, this time to the creature's AC, followed by a cackle to extend the durations again.

As a side note though, sadly feinting only works on melee attacks. :(

Gadriel continues focusing on the creature, her odd laugh echoing off the walls. Abu stares at the creature, though his eyes shift from black to green.

Misfortune Hex, then cackle to extend all the durations. Sadly, he makes the save but the Evil Eye durations still increase by one.

"Abu thinks blue man talks more than Korriban, and makes less sense too. Friends be warned, Abu says magic protects the creature, a shield of force forms around."

Abu's eyes stay black as the monkey continues to stare at the flying creature. Gadriel quietly breaks out into an odd laugh.

The creature shudders, throwing off the majority of Abu's curse but the strange unsettling laugh seems to weaken the creature.

Evil Eye the creature's Saves, then begin to cackle. It made it's save, but the duration is one round on a made save, the cackle extends it to 2.

Gadriel moves into the room, and with a soft growl Abu stares at the floating creature his eyes shifting to black.

Move in, and Evil Eye the creature's attack rolls.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

"Abu wonders why the body is sewn in strange places? He senses darker magic here, and the feel unsettles. We can even feel, the darkness consuming, comforting yet eternal. We should hurry, so friends don't end up with heads attached to tentacled monsters."

Sorry all. Bit slow these days. We're replacing the hospital's entire medical record software, so I'm getting pretty slammed and finding it harder and harder to pull away to post. I'll try a bit harder, see if I can't get on at least once a day. :D

Walking back to the group, Gadriel informs them. "Korriban smells, and sees no bodies or creatures. Books are also there, and another door to a tunnel, we believe."

"Adoros want's to know if Korriban can see any of the Shoanti body. Or another creature who will talk to Korriban about the body without stabbing Korriban."

Gadriel nods her head, and after looking at Abu, holds a small glowing stone. Cautiously moving down the narrow tunnel, she hands it to Korriban. "Abu says that Korriban can close Korriban's hand around the stone to stop the light, then open the hand to show it again. Korriban can also place the stone in Korriban's pocket to stop it if Korriban needs both hands."

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Gadriel passes the information to the rest. "Does Korriban want light, or for the others to follow?"

The small monkey stays firmly on Gadriel's shoulder, the slick of oil and ooze around the room convincing it to stay high. Gadriel nods at the wisdom of Diamon. "We worry that we may end up looking though. We still have much of a body to find. We wish to hurry. We... we are finding this place uncomfortable. It is... dark... in a strange way Abu does not like."

Seeing the creature swing the wicked hook, Gadriel glares at it. Abu's eyes glow red, and a dark aura seems to flicker. Gadriel then breaks out into an odd laugh.

Misfortune hex the creeper, then Cackle

Gadriel shakes her head. "Abu cannot understand the creature. If Abu cannot, then we cannot. We do not like the thought of killing things without cause. That will lead to being no better than Lamm, and we are not wanting to be that. We think, maybe, we can move a different direction? Or maybe move past with smiles and waves? We could also try to scare it." At the last, the small girl shrugs, then gives the creature her best 'I'm a scary little girl' glare before Abu's eyes glow black.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Sorry all. I'm going to be away for another week or so. You likely know, but Mike McArtor passed away. He was my closest friend, and about as close to a brother as I could get. In fact, this upcoming weekend was supposed to be our 8th trip to Sakuracon in Seattle. Sadly, I'm helping his widow, his other friends (and mine) as well as helping his parents try and sort things. With trying to continue working, this is leaving me pretty well mentally drained and unable to do much creatively. I suspect things will begin to return towards normalcy next week, so I'm hoping to jump back in then. In the mean time, Gadriel says cryptically creepy things, perches on narrow ledges, and lets Abu eye them evilly.

/gigz

"Abu says we should also bring this necromancer to the Shoanti, alive or not. We think that if there is a difficulty with burying pieces, the Old One may be comforted with justice."

Gadriel wrinkles her nose at the disgusting heap, but seems unfazed by the lower half of the man once it's pulled out.

"Abu doesn't think monsters should play with monster's food." Abu shrieks in agreement, his eyes a dark gold. Gadriel suddenly breaks out into an odd laugh.

Misfortune the creature, then cackle to maintain it.

Gadriel cautiously enters the room, Abu staring at the disgusting creature.

Evil Eye the creature's AC.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

"Abu hears the sounds too. Something is eating. Something is happy about what they eat. It... is disturbing, considering where we are."

Hey all. Sorry for the silence, 2 60 hour work weeks have left me little time to get involved. I'm out of town this weekend as well, but I should pick back up to a decent speed come Monday. In the meantime, Gadriel sits in the back, says awkward things, and creeps people out. :D

Gadriel moves up cautiously, Abu looking around frequently for danger.

Move up 30, then ready an Evil Eye (AC) should one of the snakes or other creatures come within sight.

Gadriel maintains her focus on the creature, while Abu's eyes remain black and staring at the creature in front of the party. Gadriel's odd laugh still echoes off the tunnel walls.

Evil eye the creatures attack roll, then continue cackling. Eventually, this thing will fall. Hopefully before Gadriel actually has to try rolling her OWN attack rolls. :D

Gadriel stays towards the back, away from the jaws and bodies of these creatures. Abu continues glaring at the snake thing, his eyes black. Suddenly, Gadriel breaks out into an odd laugh.

Evil Eye the creature penalizing it's AC, then Cackle.

Abu glares at the snake in front of Teodor, with black eyes and a high pitched chittering while Gadriel moved into the corridor.

Misfortune Hex the creature in front of Teodor!

No prob, wish I could have rolled better. :D

Seeing Daimon battered and bloody, Abu's eyes glow a soft white while Gadriel's had becomes outlined in the same. With a quick tumble to a safe spot she places her hand on Diamon. His wounds stitch rapidly, and a nauseatingly sweet taste overpowers his pallet.

Cast, acrobatics to there, then give a cure moderate wounds to Diamon.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
Cure moderate wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 = 8

::blink:: Coup de Grace? Dear lord how did I survive that?!!!?! :D

Somewhat desperate, Gadriel tucks into a roll and nimbly moves behind Adoros. Standing up with a heavy breath, Abu growls angrily at the fleeing creatures, his eyes full of hate. Suddenly, the sounds of thousands of spiders erupt from the far passage. The sounds stopping just as quickly, they leave behind a mass of sticky webs coating the entire far passage and the fleeing creatures in it. "Abu says we are not finished with you. We think no alarm should be raised." Her knees almost buckle from the activity, and she leans against the cavern wall as the magic leaves her.

Cast web (reflex at 17 to not be entagled) filling pretty much that entire passage the creatures fleeing from. Should slow them down enough to deal with the damn snakes. :)

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

Abu hops up and down on Gadriel's shoulder, trying to get her stiffened body to move. Small burns appear on her arms and face as the acid bites deep. Abu's eyes begin to glow red, as his anger rises.

Ooph. That was a painful round. :D

Gadriel, irritated from being bitten and still a little woozy from the loss of blood glares at the creature. Abu glares as well, with black eyes and a high pitched chittering. Suddenly, Gadriel breaks out into an odd laugh.

Misfortune hex the little monster, then cackle to extend the duration.

Gadriel hustles into the corridor, bringing her light with her.

Double move to there. :)

Gadriel braces herself against the wall, though whether from blood loss or from the extremely close and deadly blade of the dwarf is hard to tell. Abu Screeches at the bug still flying around, and it seems to slow down slightly.

Move, then Evil Eye the bug for an AC penalty.

Gadriel strides into the room, Abu growling on her shoulder. Suddenly Abu's eyes turn black, and a shriek pierces the caverns. With an outstretched finger, Gadriel points to the creature. "Abu claims this one."

Cause fear on the creature. Will DC16 or be frightened, fleeing the wrath of the monkey. Success leaves the creature shaken for a round.

Pulling Gadriel's hair, Abu directs her towards the dying rat. With an angry look, she reaches out towards the creature. Abu chitters softly, and Gadriel's hand glows a soft white. The frightened creature bites at her but she seems undeterred, just wincing in pain. As her glowing hand touches the rat, the signs of abuse repair themselves. The animal suddenly dashes away, using her outstretched hand as a ramp before leaping to the ground and disappearing through some crack in the ground. Abu pats the girls head as she stands back up.

CLW on the rat, 1 point to Gadriel for her good deed. :D
