Glimmer's page

Finally got Spectrum's familiar statted out. Here's the alias. The full stats are in Spectrum's sheet.

Glimmer is an Ioun Wyrd with the School Familiar and Protector archetypes, so basically she's going to behave like a particularly cool Ioun stone. She fires rays of frost and can give AC bonuses.

The only thing of note that I need the GM to be aware of is that Glimmer has Blindsense 30, which combined with Empathic Link gives Spectrum something of a "danger sense." Blindsense is basically the ultimate trump card vs stealth and invisibility, so if anyone is hiding within 30', Glimmer can alert Spectrum to that. Later, once Spectrum picks up Speak With Master, Glimmer will be able to provide more details than just general feelings.

Glimmer's laughter sounded like rhythmic hissing.

Do more!

Glimmer landed on Spectrum's shoulder, started healing herself with a wand and filled Gwen in on their progress.

We killed a couple of ugly zap lizards. Didn't find anything good. Just some stupid swords and bows. How are things going out there?

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Good enough.

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 8 damage.

Glimmer threw a glue bomb at the other one.

Tanglefoot Bag, touch attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

If it hits, target is Entangled and at 1/2 speed for rounds: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

DC 15 Reflex or be glued to the floor as well.

Glimmer drew a tiny wand from her vest.

Ill Omen wand (taking 10 on UMD). Kaven gets to roll twice and take the lower on his next save.

Sting him! she said to Array

We'll get 'im! Glimmer called with a small telepathic roar and a vocal hiss. Kill the stinky ogres!

Raging Song. Lingering Performance increases the duration to three rounds. 60' flying movement in the direction Kaven went, rising to 20' off the ground.

ALL ALLIES GAIN +2 TO A PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTE OF THIER CHOICE FOR THREE ROUNDS.

Take 10 on Stealth for 21.

Glimmer hid in a tree, waiting for the ogres to run past.

Not sure if we are in combat yet. If we are, I'd like to ready an action to cast Grease on the path once the Ogres get toward the middle of the map (right around where the rock off to the left of the path is

Great, thanks. We're burning through Glimmer's cure wand fast, she's already down to 29 charges left. Array's still at 47 though.

Glimmer landed on Wyam's shoulder.

Hi, I'm Glimmer! You all look like you really want to get out of this place.

Using Raging Song to give all the Black Arrows a +2 bonus to the physical stat of their choice for 4 rounds. I'm guessing they'll want to go with Constitution.

Also using the Cure Light wand to heal what can be healed. Just tell me how many charges I go through.

Git 'em, guys! Rawr! Glimmer yelled telepathically flapping tot he edge of the roof near the battle. Her neck arched downward as she hissed out her anger.

Ragesong. Everyone gets to pick a physical attribute to gain +2 to

Glimmer circled right.

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

five cure lights: 5d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 5, 5) + 5 = 28

let's make that 6: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Six charges used. Rey, gain 37 hp

Glimmer stayed on Reynard's shoulder and tapped him again with her little healing wand.

Take 10 on UMD CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Glimmer landed on Reynard's shoulder.

I only have this little wand! It will take a bit to heal you up.

UMD DC 17: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Cure Light on Reynard: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

RAGESONG still up. Everyone pick a physical stat to get +2 to.

You leave him alone, you big meanie! Glimmer yelled telepathically at the ogre. Kill him, guys!

Inspired Raging Song. Everyone get's a +2 bonus to their Str, Dex or Con (your choice) for 3 rounds.

Glimmer helps Isme, hoping for treasures.

Glimmer landed on Reynard's shoulder and tapped him with a wand. It was really no larger than a pencil, but it did the trick.

Take 10 on UMD. One more charge of Glimmer's cure light wand.

Cure Light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Can't see in though. Glimmer added.

Yep, scouting!

There's an ugly guy who looks like a rotten pumpkin. He's sharpening a hook. Looks mean. Glimmer reported back.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Perception.: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Glimmer flew towards the fight drawing a wand as she went.

I think all Glimmer can do is move this round.

Spectrum says we should try to take the dog-guy alive. Glimmer said telepathically to the group.

Glimmer followed the cat, healing it again.

Take 10 UMD

Cure Light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

How damaged is the cat?

Glimmer pulled out a wand and touched the cat.

Take 10 on UMD to activate a Cure Light wand.

Cure Light on Kitty: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Right. Spectrum says he's thinking about wearing his seed-run necklace out in the open to see what people do. I think he wants to know what the rest of you think.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

The pseudo dragons were thankfully engaged in telepathic conversation, so no one besides Array and Gwen had to listen to Glimmer's colorful and not always accurate account of what had happened on their journey so far, describing Sandpoint and their adventures in somewhat schizophrenic detail, with only the loosest grasp of a liner timeline.

Array was mostly silent, joining in only to correct the most egregious flaws before Glimmer continued with her stream-of-consciousness narrative. She never even had to draw breath.

The other two dragons launch themselves into the air in response to the newcomer to engage in a circling and swooping bit of investigative greeting.

One was white with transparent prism-like wings. She was almost obnoxiously outgoing and full of headstrong curiosity.

Hi! I'm Glimmer!

Why did you taste her hand?

The whole story seems way more interesting when you tell it, Wyam. Glimmer said with her head tilted to the side. I was there, and mostly I just remember being confused and someone always being about to die. Except Chaise. He really did die. Oh, and Kejal! She died too. I'm glad they got better.

Alright. she replied. I still want to know what a Knife Ear is though. I don't think having knives for ears would be very useful. Unless they're like horns. Horns can be useful sometimes.

i think you misread. Glimmer flew down and landed on spectrum's shoulder.

Glimmer liked her perch, but she quickly became bored, and she also didn't like being looked at by so many people she did not know. Flustered, she flew down and landed on Spectrum's shoulder.

In the days leading up to the Mayor's dinner, both dragons had molted. Where Array had darkened, Glimmer had become lighter in shade, and her scales even more reflective. Her pattern seemed to shift based on her mood and the lighting now, and her wings were nearly transparent but caught the light like prisms.

"What's a Kinfe Ear, Sir Barnarsby? she asked telepathically.

Everyone within sixty feet heard her in thier minds.

Smells yummy though! Glimmer added, eyeing the feast tables.

Ok, the new improved Glimmer is done.

Doing skills for a familiar is more complex than I remembered it being.

Glimmer flew up to where Array was, high above watching.

Did you see me!? Well, no, I guess you didn't since I was invisible most of the time, but did you see? I helped, and I saved that Barty guy, and I saved Kejal too! Well, for a little bit. She got stabbed again.

How come you weren't down there too?

Glimmer hadn't gone far, so she banked and flew to heal the weird guy Isme was indicating.

While flying, Glimmer draws a Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds. She's still holding the Cure Light wand in her other hand. Or maybe her tail.

Hey Barty! Hold on, you're going to feel better pretty quick.

Take 10 on CMD
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Once she'd touched him with the wand, she dropped the potion on his chest. It appeared once it fell from her claws and wasn't subject to the invisibility spell Glimmer was still under the effects of.

Drink that!

Glimmer flew back to Kejal and touched her with a wand to heal her some more.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

100' telepathy.

Oops!

Cure Serious: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4, 8) + 5 = 19

Glimmer jetted down to where Kejal lay crumpled on the ground, more falling than flying, landing on the woman's chest and drawing two vials.

Move action, move to Kejal. Swift action, retrieve potion from itty bitty wrist sheathe. Standard action, apply Oil of Cure Serious Wounds.

I am a SHE, thank you very much.

The Lamia is over here! Glimmer said in a telepathic shout to the others. The side of the tower! Right on the other side from Spectrum!

The little dragon winked out of sight and started circling the clock tower.

...she's gone! I can't find her.

GM, I'm completely willing to go with your ruling, but I need to know what your house rules are regarding Blindsense.

Normally, a creature with Blindsense can pinpoint the square of an invisible creature within their range, but still has a 50% miss chance against them.

How do you work it?

Every ruling I've seen has said blindsense trumps invisibility within it's range.

Is there some other ability at play here? Or am I misinterpreting something about how these abilities interact?

Pseudodragons have 60' Blindsense. She should be able to tell which square the Lamia is in.

Um, she's right... over...
