Heccan Abraxi's page

Looks good. Great job all. Had a lot of fun battling in this one.

Abe, thank you for running a great game. I can honestly say one of the most fun I had playing pathfinder, live or PbP. Real life happens and I appreciate all the hard work you put into running the game and sticking with it despite all you were going through. Thanks to all my fellow players as well, great characters and had a ton of fun with you folks.

That linnorm fight was epic!

Thanks again Abe and good fortunes.

That works for me as well. Thanks again for running this Abe!

No worries Abe! Have a great vacation and we will look to fire up on your return!

No worries Abe! I had work explode on me for last three weeks. Not in a bad way, just super busy. All good here and ready to get back at it when you are.

Heccan surveys the field and spots a clump of slime monsters. He lets loose a smoldering ball of flame at the creatures, being careful to keep innocents out of the blast.

Then let's try that!

Heccan looks to Via then out at the chaos enveloping the streets. "Perhaps Via, or perhaps we can see if these things enjoy a little fire." The sorcerer's eyes flash red and his right hand begins to smolder.

[occ]Is it possible to try and fry the globs with a fireball and not hurt the civilians?[/ooc]

Heccan gasps "Slime! We are being attacked by slime! Oh this is a new low."

Heccan's eyes flash red and he begins to rise from the ground,

Hecan will cast Levitate and begin moving 20 feet up.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Heccan quirks a brow as the strange rain falls. Seeing Anen begin to enact magical wards, Heccan follows suit.

"I am not sure what is going on here but I trust if your judgment Anen. What do you see?"

Heccan will cast Mage Armor on himself.

Heccan smirks "Yes, I agree on both counts. Fear not my friends, I am sure I will be able to make a MOST persuasive case for our claim should the need arise. On then!"

Oops! Sorry about that, complete mind flub there.

Heccan blinks. "Yes, Hector. My apologies. In my defense, it has been a long few day. Very well, on to the next stop?"

Heccan offers the dwarf his charming grin. "Master Dwarf! Your hospitality is most refreshing. Please, tell me about your work. I may need it soon enough. While you are at it, what do you know about this creature I keep hearing whispered about...the Storm Queen?"

Heccan nods. "A sound plan Via. Maybe we can find some wine along the way." The Chelaxian flashes his wicked grin.

"Ah well, let me me see where should I start..."

Heccan begins to fill in Urlen about current affairs of Golarion.

Heccan flashes Urlen his patented wicked grin. "Well met good sir! Have you heard about the latest acts of the Whispering Tyrant?"

Hec will buy a couple of fly potions if they are available.

"So, shall we see this Urlen fellow?"

Heccan sighs and stretches after the long journey. "Fair question anen. Let's begin in my favored way...at the nearest tavern! First round is on me."

Heccan will have few goblets of wine and ask around about this Storm Queen.

Diplomacy (Gather Info): 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (12) + 32 = 44

Wow, thanks for that Abe. I did not get that feeling from the encounter at all. I felt it was challenging and I kept looking for ways to add and help the party overcome the fight.

Heccan nods. "Indeed. Yes, please do not let us keep you from your meal. We shall speak again." Heccan lets the giants get to eating whatever it is they are going to eat then gathers the party.

"Sounds like we need to take a trip to Jol. Agreed?"

Heccan raises a brow and looks at his fellow agents. "Storm Queen you say? Yes, I would say we definitely need to speak to her. Immediately. And I promise, no reward will be worth the wrath of the mighty Zorath!"

Heccan nods as Via chimes in. "Yes yes, if only your pledge was enough. We have been very patient, but it wears thin. Why mighty chief? Why did the tribe make war upon Zorath?"

Heccan sighs "Focus my new friends! I need to report to Zorath. He demands fighting stops now, and why you make war with such a powerful being. Trust me" He looks at his fellow agents then back to the giants "he has powerful friends and you would do well to avoid his wrath."

*claps* Bravo

Heccan smirks as the ettin argues with itself. He casts his gaze on the other giants and speask while holding their gaze "What about your loyal followers Yillas? Do they desire peace as well?"

Heccan folds his hands in front of him and quirks a brow. "Now then mighty chief," the Chelaxian looks to the charmed ettin "war is not the only answer. First we need answers, as to why this tribe makes war upon mighty Zorath. Second, I urge the tribe to make peace with Zorath so that we may all live in peace. What say you, mighty chief"

Heccan smiles at the charmed ettin.

Diplomacy + Enhanced Diplomacy: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (8) + 34 = 42

Heccan bows to the group and straightens up. He closes his eyes as Via casts a blessing to aid in the endeavor. He approaches the arguing group of giantkin. He speaks in giant. I won't post in spoiler as Heccan will whisper a translation to the group as he speaks.

"I see you have quite a dilemma. Perhaps I can be of assistance. I would speak to the chief of this village as I have business here. On behalf of the mighty Zorath!"

Heccan nods in agreement. "I quite agree, and I think my two headed friend may have given us an opportunity. If no one objects, I will attempt to open a parlay. I would appreciate a few others for a show of force, but perhaps we should have a few of us stay out of sight in case things go poorly. A sound plan, I believe."

Heccan's nose wrinkles as they step into the chamber. "Codes and codicils! There should be a law against living in a place like this. The filth!" Stepping somewhat gingerly he follows the others.

He gets a wide grin on his face as he sees the ettin arguing with the two giants. [b]"I wonder if out two headed friend over there agrees he is ready for a promotion. Let's just say I may have offered a few words of encouragement. Shall we listen in on the debate?"

Heccan will see if he can get within earshot of the trio. Tongues should still be active so Hec can understand giant if they are conversing in that language.

Heccan breaths a sigh of relief and wipes his brow. He rejoins his fellow agent. "So, now I can say I have been to a giant village. Once is enough I think."

Just so I read the combat clearly, we finished the encounter before Hec's fireball and use of select rod?

Heccan furiously looks about, seeing the trolls advance. He once again appears indecisive, pursing his lips and clenching his jaw. The sorcerer sighs, shakes his head, then darts around a nearby hut. Once clear, he once again holds the rod out sending another ball of flame into the air. The ball grows into an inferno, crashing among the trolls and elemental. Via and the Flame of Liberty watches as they are surrounded by flames though somehow remain untouched.

Heccan will take a move action to get around the hut and then cast another fireball as indicated on the map with the red outline. He uses the last charge of the selective rod to select out Via and Hector.

FIRE! REF v DC 20 for half: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3, 4, 3, 6, 6) = 35

Heccan recoils as the reinforcements arrive, he looks about for a moment, almost unsure of what to do. He grits his teeth and shakes his head, muttering under his breath. The Chelaxian moves cautiously forward then hurls a ball of burning flame at the new gang of enemies,

Heccan casts fireball as indicated in red on map. He uses his selective metamagic wand to select out Hector.

FIRE! REF v DC 20 for half: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 4, 2, 4, 6, 6, 2, 1) = 36

The ground rustles a bit as Heccan sets himself down. Footsteps in the grass begin to move south.

As battle looks like its going our way going to reserve spells.

Heccan smirks as he watches the ettin walk away he again sends a message to the confused giantkin.

Heccan will use message to whisper to the ettin again.

Heccan looks down on the Ettin below him. Knowing the at times arrogant Chelaxion, one could imagine a smirk on his unseen face. The ettin hears words, as if from the heavens, calling to him in giant.

Heccan will cast message and speak to the charmed ettin in giant.

No worries!

Ok, time to try something bold! Don't hate me if I fail miserably.

A shimmering light descends from above the western ettin and rains on the two headed monstrosity.

Heccan will cast charm monster on the purple ettin just below him. Will save v DC 25

*crosses fingers*

The wind near the ettin swirls and the group can see sparks of light as Heccan once again invokes his dark nature.

Heccan will move an additional 20 feet straight up, which should put him at 40' in the air, and cast [url=https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/t/tongues/]tongues[/ulr] on himself so that he is able to speak and understand giant.

Roger that, sorry I missed it.

Heccan will stick with the posted action. Also, the tracker is showing Hec took some damage but I cant seem to find out where. I know the elemental swung and missed, but can't find where damage came from.

Now from a safer vantage, Heccan presses his atatck on one of the advancing giant.

Heccn casts scorching ray at the orange elemental.

Ranged touch ray 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Ranged touch ray 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

dmg Ray 1: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 1) = 6
dmg Ray 2: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 2, 2) = 11

If anyone besides a raging elemental were around to hear it, a faint squeak of panic erupts from the area just west of the dusky moving pile of rock and earth. The squeak is followed by a string of infernal curses.

Heccan will take a 5 foot step westward then cast levitate. The spell will move Heccan 20 feet into the air.

I believe Hec's AC should be 25 with haste, mage armor, cat's grace and shield active.

More grass is mysteriously trampled, leaving a momentary trail eastward. Two red blazing beams of energy burst forth from thin air and streak toward one of the advancing giantkin.

Hec will move west and cast scorching ray at the blue hill giant.

Ray 1 v touch AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Ray 2 v touch AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Ray 1 fire dmg: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 6, 3) = 19
Ray 2 fire dmg: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 6) = 19

The grass flattens as the unseen sorcerer moves his position. Five glowing orbs of arcane energy streak across the battle, striking a distant giant.

Heccan takes a move action to move near Hector's position then casts magic missile at the blue hill giant.

Magic Missile: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 2, 2) + 5 = 14

The grass rustles near where the Chelaxian last stood. Heccan no doubt showing signs of nerves as the giants and their pets descend on the groups position. The group can feel a tinge in the air as Heccan, unseen, taps into his reserve of arcane power. Waves of energy flow all around them, though the Pathfinders find themselves strangely unaffected.

Heccan will cast confusion on top of the group's position as outlined in blue. He will use one use from his selective metamagic rod to exclude himself, Tytus, Hector and Via. The spell should not get anen as I have it placed. DC for WILL save is 23.

Works for me.

Heccan gases from view as he invokes his dark inner magic.

Casts Greater Invisibility on himself. Should have mage armor, cats grace and shield active if had a chance to prepare for possible encounter.

Yikes!

Heccan has a few options for crowd control. Mind fog, confusion being top choices. Let's see if he can hear whats going on before making our next move.

Also, Heccan will have cast mage armor and cat's grace before approaching encampment. He will cast shield from his wand before the party makes a move.

Heccan ducks behind any any brush cover he can find nearby. Refreshed from a much needed rest. He leans in to listen to the busy encampment. He mutters under his breath. "By the laws, are there no end to these monsters. They must breed like rodents."

Can we hear what the young male and female are saying? If so, Heccan will cast comprehend languages to be able to understand them.

Welcome back Abe!

Happy Holidays all!
