Giladref looks over anything the mercenary had looking for clues as to why the attack happened like orders or a note. "What a weird turn of events!" "This is one wedding I will want to drink to forget not merely have it as a consequence of stupid indulgence." He will also check out the halberd after the spell fades.
Giladref will move in and attempt to grab the halberd. If he gets the halberd, he will swing it at the demon, or where it was when the lights went out.
But all he does is almost hit himself. Sparky attacks with the flank I forgot. Sparky will return to fire world at beginning of my next turn.
"Good thing it is dark and no one saw that. Time to run out the way I came."
Giladref will move as best he can towards where he remembers the halberd being. Feeling his way, he works his way down the row between table that was on his right clearly visible moments before the spell. He counts the tables and chairs as he feels them. At the far edge of the second table, he prepares to dart in grab the halberd and retreat. The fire elemental moves to get better footing and slams at the creature again. ; but it can not hope to be effective again something it can't touch.
Giladref in darkness casts light on a coin from his pocket an drops it on the table in front of him.
"The thing is incorporial and resistant to most attack types but sonic. Try holy or cold iron weapons. It also resists magic. It becomes invisible in shadows. Daylight is effective against it."
Giladref says, "He is using shadow magic. It is partially figment and shadow and not real." Giladref then begins a series of hand movements while chanting softly. The area around him is charged with magic energy..a beast of flames can be seen starting to step through a rift in space/time. Giladref tries to recognize the thing in front of Khouri.
I hate to ask, but tomorrow I leave for 4 days camping. I will not have any way to post. The cell coverage is non existent. Please bot me as necessary. If this situation turns violent, Giladref will grease olafs axe. Then, Giladref will start with magic missiles attempting to stay out of melee. Then he will use his acid bolts. And finally he will use scorching ray X2 and or burning hands if still required. I will return late Tuesday.
I want to find out, "why Michaella?". Why did a back water Viking have to marry the most eligible bachelorette in the inner sea? This is silly. Elinor or Elaine or whatever the other sisters name is is a much better fit for a viking. No way someone can be Michaella and fool everyone. Most likely the mother will find out and blame us somehow. I think this prophecy is vague and probably is a little flexible also. Giladref pushed forth this opinion but with a weak effort (what a time to roll a three).
"The cooperation of your bride is the key Olaf. Are you sure that Michaella was to be your world saving baby mother? That type stuff sounds more like Elianor, the sister brave and strong who adventures. Not some winey Noble used to servants and all. Are you sure? Were they wearing name tags? Prophecies can be vague or tricky. My money would be on Elianor as the woman you need. She by this deception could be 'a Michaella' of sorts. What is in a name anyway?"
Giladref is chaotic and loves the turmoil of it all, but is still concerned for the mission to impress. If we are found out to have known about this and it all blows up, any good will we created will be gone.
"Tell me this, which sister was actually just married to Damian above in the ceremony we all saw?" Giladref pauses for answer.
"Michaella, you are right. We should not burst into the party with this group. You can go in slightly ahead and pull your mother aside and to us." "But we are all coming to the party. This is not a request, but a precaution." "We can not let either of the Blakros sisters to leave without their mother's knowledge." "This has all the ear marks of something dastardly and at a minimum something strange." "We could not in good conscience have it otherwise." As Giladref is talking, he is pulling out his wand of grease, but not pointing it at anyone.
"Something is fishy here. I think we need both sisters to talk to their mother." "Else I fear a deception is afoot." Giladef whispers to Corella. "Perhaps ask the two sisters to rejoin the party and bring the helpful vikings." "Mention Damian and his concerns." "Please cue them Corella as you are much more tactful than I." Giladref continues to whisper.
Is this some sort of abduction attempt? "I think the twin has arrived with her viking buddies to sweep away the bride, her sister...maybe for ransom." Giladref whispers to the group. "I think we should stop it." Hiding in back behind the group sort of, Giladref pulls out some stuff from a small leather pouch at his belt and says softly some strange words. His body seems to blur for a moment then it clears. He then pulls out his wand of grease. "If you want to try for a diplomatic solution, do it now. I will wait a heart beat before I act." Again whispering.
Giladref attempts to influence Bedard and to console him. "Well my andoran friend, I think you made an admirable speech if a little miss timed." "I think you would not have liked the trappings of the Blakros family and in time you will see this episode in your life as playing out nicely." "Time will tell, I think."
Giladref thinks back about what he knows of Ostergarde...
"I guess I will wander over and wish the happy couple my best." Giladref drifts over and attempts a cold influence. "Congratulations to you both. I very much enjoyed the ceremony and the opportunity to attend with my pathfinder buddies." "You two make a good looking couple and you have the world at your feet."
Giladref approaches Nigel, "I am not sure what all this fuss over love is? Elves don't worry about love...you have almost a century to get to know the person you marry. I think love would just make it boring and getvin the way" "What do you think, Nigel?" "Are you a loveite or practicalist?"
"I must agree. Not much I could add to that." "Bedard may think he knows the heart, but it is not the heart that makes the best decisions." "It sounds like his heart is getting the better of his good judgement." Giladref smiles and wistfully remembers youthful love. "Again I am glad to not be getting married. There is not enough gold." "On a happier note, did you notice anything about the priest?"
"Well, Master Desimire, you have made quite an entrance. Or should I address you as Ambassador?" Giladref hustles over to quickly get in a few words with the Cheliaxian.
I don't think very many people in my experience pay much attention to the discussion thread. I am guilty of this often. It almost seems unnecessary. However, I am bored and will type away anyway. With the site going crazy and crashing every two minutes, do the rules of gameday require us to finish prior to the end date? It is not really important to me. I have one other pbp going and it is moving about the same. Is anyone in the know about the new iconic character they revealed? Why is a new iconic character required? Are they making more classes? Gosh, I hope not. I can't keep up with the ones they have now especially when you consider all the archetypes available. It is one reason I have shied away from GMing lately. I guess Paizo must keep making new angles and different products or the game will not make any money. Core campaign may be my final destination if things keep broadening. But, it is hard to find even on pbp. Well, just wondering... Looking forward to seeing how things play out in this scenario...
Giladref continues speaking with Rubaani, "I have heard a little about the bride, but nothing of the groom. Do you by chance know him?" "How does one become eligable to marry into probably the most powerful and influential family in the inner sea?" If that only gets a grunt, Giladref will ask, "Tell me a little about yourself. How did you come to be here? Shouldn't you be off leading troops to heroic victories?"
Giladref will switch tactics and move on to Mercenary leader Shafar.
Just read the above again...We have three people to influence currently, Jeon, the mercenary Shafar, and Nigel's muscular andoren friend. We esch get a roll to influence, aid or discover but only one. So Giladref and Hervey are done. Khouri did a discovery on the andoren with the sense motive? Corrella is still looking but I would think she should attempt to influence the andoren as we are running out of rolls for this boat trip. Ss'alat should just straight up try to influense the mercenary woman. Discovering secrets won't help because I think this is it for trying to influence these three.
Giladref starts to answer Jeon, "I am a journeyman pathfinder, doing odd tasks as needed for Ambrus Valsin. I have been doing so for a little over a year now. Most recently, I helped explore a Vudran temple encased in a glacier." Giladref realizes Jeon is only half listening. " Well, I see your eyes are starting to glaze, I must be boring you." "Hervey, please come to the rescue of these good folk. Save them from my mind-numbing droll." Giladref listens as Hervey asks his question about the prior relationship and perks up at the mention of a twin. "Michaella has a twin? ... an identical twin then?" Giladref imagines himself impressing this twin and marrying into a rich family...but the idea fades as he realizes that would not make him happy. I am a wanderer.
"Greetings, Master Raeng-Woo and Commander Shafar. I am Giladref. I hope you both are having a pleasant day so far." Giladref nods to Kouri. "So far no sea monsters, so I guess we have that going for us." "I wonder how long until we arrive at our destination." "I do enjoy ferrie rides, for very limited durations."
"Well, that is a waste." He uses the shield wand on himself, but looks around confused as to who or what to grease. "What exactly would use like me to 'grease'?" He waits for an answer and cast the wand on whatever the guard wants. He continues his conversation with Hervey, "Now that you mention it I do remember those details being said. It is fun, you know, my life often depends on me remembering the most bizarre and arcane symbols and pronunciations, yet names seem to fly away on the wind the second I hear them." He spies a fellow elf and his burly friend and motions to Hervey that they might talk with the museum owner. "Let us ease into the party with a warmup. A fellow fair born might be able to shed valuable light on the mood of things here." "Do you know the fellow from your recent adventures?"
Giladref left his composite longbow at home. He does have two wands with him , a wand of shield and a wand of grease. If the guard questions him about them he will reply, "They are for defense only. One to protect and one to disarm until able bodied guard such as yourself can get the situation under control."
"Well, the extra time would be nice, but I am not sure how it helps with a party, unless you pitch in to help set up." "We are not setting up an ambush afterall." Giladref seems to ponder the issue."Arriving early would ensure you did not miss any events while still on the water." "I wonder what we will be allowed to have on us for weapons." "I did hear something about safety lashings." "My longbow with its arrows is probably out." "Yes, I still think the second boat is best."
