Gedeon's page

Gedeon continues to pursue the running figure. Assuming the others are following if not will wait on them.

Damn! Gedeon races down the latter to the ritual chamber, with everyone there seem s to be ok, he continues down the stairs.

Hmm, just had a thought maybe we should find out where this city of Sustrai Mor is located, if it is set up similarly to this city it could be connected to the planer events that we have been sent to investigate. Ah thank you Helac, I had missed all that with such an impressive view before me. Did you not say you had found a vault downstairs perhaps we should investigate that next?

Giving a low whistle, Whoa, now that is a view.

Knowledge (the planes):: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Perception:: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Yes there was. But this place is intriguing. Is it just me or does it seem odd that we go to investigate a series of planer events and come across a lost city that is somehow linked to the planes that has recently been disturbed? Gedeon replies while looking for a way to open the trap door to the roof.

Out loud , he would not feel it important enough to keep from saying out loud.

Perception:: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
I have found a way up to the roof. Perhaps that will give us a view of the city and what we should focus our investigation on.

Gedeon continues to investigate the room while listening to the conversation.

That as may be we should still try. Go ahead and mention the names we shall see if they react to them. Gedeon sheaths his sword and begins to look around at the details of the room while watching for a reaction from these folks out of the corner of his eye.

Then you may want to suspend your cast to return your friend to life until we can search and account for the one that escaped and make sure that party was all that we in the area.

We just got into a fight with a group of yuan-ti that had magically created and hidden an entrance to this chamber. Two are down a third ran this way. Gedeon takes a closer look at the female human making sure she is not the one he encountered earlier.

Reviving an ally in a forgotten city you have entered though stealth and deception, while posting hostile guards. Who is this ally and why do you need to go to such lengths to revive them.

Spellcraft:: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
They are bringing something back from the dead, guessing that is not a good thing. Doubt we want to meet whomever it is. Haazek you want to sneak into position near some of them and we can set this off when you act.

Round 1
Temp. HP 10
Swift action spend a arcane point to augment sword.
Ready action to charge nearest kalashtar waiting for Haazek to go.
Charge:: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 20
Damage:: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

Sounds like a good idea.Gedeon takes a moment to sheath the wand he is holding, then takes out a stone from his bandoleer and concentrates on it for a moment. Then returns the stone to his bandoleer.
Retrieve and use my pearl of power to regain Frostbite.

To give a heads up, I am going on vacation next week so will not be posting at all from sometime Monday till like Friday.

Perception:: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

I hear them as well but cannot make out what language. We should start there. Helac can you open the strange door? Gedeon then approaches the door drawing sword and wand again. Hmmm, Snake people, possessed folk trying to breach the barriers between planes, and an evil empire, with all that running around who is going to care about aberrant dragonmarks.

I say we try the city. Hate leaving an enemy at my back.

Spellcraft:: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Ok we have to make a quick decision the tunnel is going to collapse soon. Do we retreat up or go forward and investigate that city, hoping to find another way up.Gedeon quickly dispatches the dieing yuan-ti. then sheaths both wand and scimitar.

Round 3

Spellcraft:: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Blast! Whatever power created the pit will not last much longer! I think they are now trying to bury us down here.
With that Gedeon attacks the snake man. Once again darwing on the power of his Dragonmark and sending the madding energies to attack the snake man's mind.
Round 1

Attack:: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 26

Confirm:: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 20
Extra Damage:: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

If your mission is so innocent to the locals why the deception and why does your companion flee.

Falling Damage:: 1d6 ⇒ 4 DR eats it

Swift action: spend 1 arcane point to enhance scimitar
This does not have to turn to conflict tell us what you know of the Inspired that died, and we may end this peaceably.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Guessing 5 round left on shield

Enough of this I don't trust what they are up to, the rest of you may want to get down here I think its going to get violent soon, and please bring Esme. She can not hear us.

Gedeon moves to place himself between these men and the end of the slide to shield those coming down.

@Helac Pathfinders acrobatics rolls now let you turn the first 10' you fall into subdual damage when you intentional jump down, as opposed to taking all lethal if you fall unintentional from the same height.

@Deranged_Maniac_Ben Ok 3.5 had the old falling and other crushing damage bypassed DR rule, can't find anything like that anywhere in the Pathfinder rules. What is your call on this?

I do have a light source,drew out a ioun torch. Gedeon stands and draws his scimitar. Looking around the area. I am at the bottom it is a short drop then a long slide down a slope. Whomever did this is here to retrieve something and is now trying to flee.
Perception:: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Gedeon once again pulls out a wand and activates it. then returns it to his pelt and begins to climb down into the pit. Casts Shield.
Climb:: 1d20 ⇒ 1
oww!
Smooth Gedeon, make a fool of yourself.

Intriguing? Shale we investigate? Sorry Channa, but as you can see something is off here and we did not know if you were involved. Gesturing to Esme to cover the pit, as he gets a rope ready so they can descend into it.

Odd. Putting away his wand Gedeon casts a spell. Detect magic around the area. Spellcraft to figure out any auras if any are there.
Spellcraft:: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Gedeon gestures to the pit with the tip of his sword. The pit is right over there by the tunnel we came in. Something is wrong here, don't know if we are seeing more illusions or if this woman is deceiving us or just crazy.

Good day, could you tell us about this pit. We heard voices coming from it a moment ago. Gedeon starts to casually lean on his sword and ideally twirl the wand he is holding.

Perception:: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 Interesting did not expect to run into a village down here, is it just me or is this odd?

Gedeon begins looking for a way around the pit. Motioning for the rest of the group to follow.

Gedeon pulls a glowing object from his bandolier tosses it into the air and it starts orbiting his head. he then draws a wand from his belt. What, who, why, damn Helac some warning next time. This is strange. Haazek do you want to try to sneak ahead and investigate those voices? You can hear my thoughts right?

Gedeon draws his scimitar, Shall I lead the way? Moving forward to do just that unless someone objects. Just like home start one thing and get interrupted by the most interesting if deadly things.

Knowledge(local):: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 max of 10
No the name is unfamiliar to me. But then again I just got off the boat to this land. I would be shocked to recognizes any local lord's or lady's name. Just to be thorough Gedeon will cast detect magic and do a sweep of the area. Still think daggers in feet is a weird way to leave a body and what in the world would that symbolize.

lol Leave it to Russian's for that kind of horrifying practical thinking.

Perception:: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
By Siberys' Ring, what is the point of stabbing their feet with daggers? Is that a local form of torture or some local symbolic thing?

@ Haazek you forgot one too?

Gedeon goes though the market picks up a composite longbow, 20 arrows a hot weather outfit and adamantine weapon blanch and 10 days rations. I am now ready to proceed. I do not know if these two can be of anymore help and I do not look forward to traveling this distance constantly having to keep an eye on them.

Don't know if it will be worth it depends how much of the journey is in the desert. If you could get that maybe the rest of us might chip in for a wand of cure light wounds? Etiquette question should this conversation be going on in the discussion thread?

Gedeon looks blankly at Helac then the meaning of his statement dawns on him and gives Helac a nod of understanding. Wand of endure elements and create water sounds ideal. So does the hot weather outfit and will personally buy a 4 extra water skins. But as for chipping in to help with anything else the water skins almost taps out his cash.

If these are the ones responsible for the Day of Mourning then they have already named themselves my enemies, Kardul. Where exactly is your homeland and this dark void located? Gedeon asks trying to get Kardul to focus and indicate on the map. Will also try detect magic to see if any ongoing magic is effecting the these two. Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 to understand any auras.

Gedeon sheathes his sword and shakes his head in concern. His babbling makes little sense to me, but something about him seems familiar I just can't place it. Also how do we know he does not speak the truth or he himself is not possessed?

Gedeon approaches still watching the ogre wearily. Who are you and what is this Summit Road you speak of?

Gedeon will continue with his stated actions except his swift action, in case the ogre does not stand down.

@Halec Good idea with the round count.
Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
round 2
Gods I hate doing this. Gedeon reaches internally to the energy that is his dragonmark and the feeling of madness that seeks to obliterate everything washes over him and he sends that energy at the ogre.
Looks like its you and me, you large confused behemoth. Gedeon says to the ogre as he steps forward and draws and activates a wand.
Swift action: lesser confusion at the ogre (DC 13 will)
Free action: 5' step toward the ogre
Move action:Draw wand of shield
Standard action: activate wand

sorry for taking so long the forums going down ate my first attempt to post. Now where do I now this guy from, was he a Knight Arcane, or was it at that Festival in Fairhaven. Wow, that degenerated into violence quickly. Gedeon moves forward drawing his sword and cautiously begins casting a spell.
Move action: Move forward and draw sword
Swift action: spend arcane point to enhance sword +1
Standard action: cast Color Spray (dc14 Will) defensively trying to get both the ogre and the human without hitting others. If I can only hit one go for the ogre.
Stop this foolishness, we are not your enemies!
Concentration: 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 3 = 19

AH so you were not there for the whole of the conversation we had with S. Looking at Acorn and nodding to Helac as well, I am Gedeon Derver and your names would be? Dooh, did introductions without the group being in one place.
