HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Checking in.

We still going?


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Guess it's a new round then. We'll see if this works.

"Get ready to rush him. Hope whispered to the others.

"We don't want trouble, I'm coming out to talk!"

Then with a gesture and a whisper, she conjured an illusion of herself that stepped out into the gap and began moving towards the madman with it's arms raised.

Casting Silent Image.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Checking in


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope continued to sneak forward, rounding the far of the statue and positioning herself next to Vala. Maintaining stealth

If no one else wants to draw his fire now, I have an idea for next round.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Checking in. Got some fires here that could cause problems, but for now all they're doing is making the sky angry.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope continued to crouch behind the statue and wait. Maintaining Stealth. Readied action- throw Hedging Weapon at any creature she can see that takes hostile action against the party.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Trying to move quietly into the gloom, Hope took cover near the statue and tried to make out where the earlier voice had come from.

Stealth: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (18) - 2 = 16
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

I think Arathorne was the only one left to act in round 4


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope stepped forward behind Arathorne, barely able to make out the creature at the edge of the unnatural gloom. Her dark eyes flashed like shooting stars.

Psychic Stike damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 And Shaken for 1 round. DC 15 Will save negates

This ability is sooooo baaaaad.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

"They have to stay near each other," Hope said quickly. "If I send them away, we'll be in the dark."

Hope whipped her starknife in a sidelong throw that curved around her body. She caught it with the opposite hand, but when she did the blade left a ghost of itself orbiting her.

Casting Hedging Weapons.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Hope looked around in the gloom, seeing nothing. She wanted to be excited to find another living person down here, but she was a prophet. She'd long since learned to trust her impressions. This one was strong, like a memory of something long past. She couldn't recall the exact details, but she remembered how it felt.

"Get back to the temple," Hope said to their trio of refugees.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

My lightsource is Dancing Lights, which I first cast when we fell into the caverns. I didn't mention casting it again when we left the temple, so we can either assume I already did it, or I can cast it now.

I also have 60' Darkvision, so if this is a Darkness spell/effect, it reduces my dancing lights down to regular darkness, which I can see in.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

If this is a surprise round, I don't act. If it isn't, I cast Divine Favor.

Hope squinted in the direction of the thing Tarot pointed out, and found herself fighting a moment of vertigo, lost in time again. Focusing, she prayed.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope was quite satisfied at the restoration project they'd completed at the temple. She took a bit to dust herself off, her natural magic getting rid of the smudges and grime in moments. "We did a good thing here. Thanks for talking us through it, Aravashniel." She gave the blind elf a gentle hug before taking some time to rest.

Later, when they were on their way, she squinted down the tunnel as Tarot warned them.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

"I don't see anything"


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

"Arathorne, do you know anything about re-sanctifying dwarven temples? You're a scholar, right?"


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Not me.

"Well, I already started the cleaning."


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Re-consecrating the place was what I was trying to do. Guess I did it wrong? This might be a case of the character knowing more than the player. Should I have done something differently?

Diplomacy, Aid Another: Tarot: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

"I was trying to fix the place up before you got here. I guess I just don't know the right way to do it. I'd love it if you could teach me.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

"This place deserves better," Hope said, looking around the dilapidated temple after the battle.

"Restring here is a good idea. Vala, can you go get our stragglers?"

Then she started cleaning. She wasn't a follower of Torag, but she respected him. When she was finished, she cast a small blessing, hoping it would dispel the last remnants of the evil that had infested the place.

Cleaning up, and casting Bless on the shrine.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope moved in to stab the crawling hand.
Starknife, divine favor: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Damage, divine favor: 1d4 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Surprised at the strength of the disembodied hand, Hope was worried about trying to pry it off of her with her starknife, so she simply glared at it and started unraveling it with her psychic might.

Psychic Strike damage, divine favor: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Will save DC 16 negates


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope ignored the claw, focusing on the larger threat instead.

5' adjust near the hecueva, attack

Attack, divine favor: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Damage, divine favor: 1d4 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Sorry for the absence. I managed to give myself a bout of Sciatica (which, if you haven't experienced it, suuuuucks). A lot of things got forgotten this past week. I'm catching up now.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

"Gha!" Hope blurted out as the severed hand leapt at her. She managed to shake it off before it got a grip, and then struck back.

Starknife, divine favor: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8

AC is currently 19


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Suddenly Hope was wishing she'd spent more time paying attention int eh boring seminary classes she'd attended as an acolyte.

She moved in quickly to support Vala. Whatever it was, it looked stabable.

Nothing but moving for me this round.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Concentrating on now with everything she could muster, Hope continued her prayers to Desna.

With a snap of her wrist, her starknife blurred, and sent a translucent double of itself orbiting her body.

Casting Hedging Weapons


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope nodded and waited, trying her hardest to stay focused on the present.

Are we in combat rounds now? Is it possible to ready actions?


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Everything about the scene before her seemed sinister. She prayed to Desna for strength and guidance as Vala snuck inside.

Casting Divine Favor


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

"I definitely remember that we will meet a couple dwarves later," Hope agreed. "Maybe this is the place."

Playing a confused prophet is amusing.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope moved up next to Vala and slashed at the fly with her starknife.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

The dead fly is covering my map token. It's not an issue, I just wanted to point it out in case it looked like I was suddenly gone from the map.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope blinks in surprise when Vala bit the fly back, then made a face. "Ew."

Then her eyes flared again.

Psychic Strike damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 DC 15 Will save negates.

This ability has failed me every time so far.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Ok thanks.

"Wait that's later," Hope muttered to herself, shaking off her moment of confusion. Then she glared at the flies and her eyes flashed like shooting stars.

Psychic Strike on closest fly: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Will DC 15 negates.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope's consciousness flicked back and forth between the present and the future like a poorly organized flip-book. For a few moments, she couldn't tell what was "now," and once again it cost her precious moments.

"There's something in the smoke!" she shouted, warning the party about something that clearly wasn't there.

Powerless Prophecy. I don't get an action.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope looked over at Tarot and Arathorne. "You muscley types want to try?"


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

"We're going to get out of here as quickly as possible, but rushing things is only going to put us in more situations like the cockroach earlier. It won't matter how fast we go if we get killed by another critter."

Hope idly spun her star knife on her finger and followed Vala and Arathorne towards the structure.

"Is this the dwarf place I was propheting about earlier? I don't recognize anything yet."


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

"Growing eyes back is pretty powerful magic. Might take a while to get that done. I guess we will just have to figure out ways for you to be able to read without needing to see," Hope smiled.

"I've only met one person who was born blind. She read with her fingers, on books with raised bumps."

Aravashniel is going to have to retrain a point of linguistics.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

"Aravashniel, are you a wizard?" Hope asked as they waited for Vala to come back. "What I mean is, does your magic require you to read a book, or is it natural?"


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

As Vala scouted forward, Hope tended to Aravashniel's wounds.

Cure Light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

I've moved the NPCs forward on the map.

Are those HP totals accurate? Can the NPCs be healed normally?


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

"Follow me, we're going to move you up to where we just were before scouting ahead again,"

I thought there were more people than just the three named NPCs down here. Did I misunderstand that?

Hope let her Dancing Lights illuminate their path as they rejoined the others. "Everyone alright?" she asked her companions.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope sighed in relief, and then turned around to go retrieve her starknife.

"Glad you're all ok," she smiled to the refugees. "Sorry to scare you like that. Did any of you get bitten?"


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Sorry, I posted but I guess the site ate it.

Hope gave the otehr survivors a friendly wave as she came to the edge of the light for a moment, then rushed back to help Tarot and Arathorne.

As soon as she was through the squeeze she lashed out with her mind.

Psychic Strike: 1d6 ⇒ 1 DC 15 will save negates


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Starknife, thrown, divine favor, 3rd increment: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 19
Damage, divine favor: 1d4 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9

From out of the darkness behind Vala, a glint of steel precedes a spinning blade that comes out of the black like a falling star.

That toss is at the furthest extent of my Darkvision, and just baaaarly doesn't have Cover from Vala. (top right corner of the roach's square to the bottom left corner of mine is unimpeded). I'm showing off a little with that throw. :)


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

"On it!" she said with a quick nod to Tarot. She pulled her starknife free of the falled cockroach before rushing after Vala. Her armor slowed her down a bit, so she wasn't as quick on her feet as the nimble tiefling, but she wasn't far behind.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Same. You'd think I'd have more time to post right now, but my routine is all thrown off so I keep forgetting to check the forums. I'm going to set myself a reminder alarm.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Does Hope's Psychic Strike ability work on mindless creatures? It doesn't say one way or another, but I didn't want to assume.


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Does Vala's attack kill it?


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Hope tossed her starknife past Vala.

Throw divine favor, into melee, cover: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 - 4 - 4 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

I can't control my token on the map


HP 10/10, AC 18, Fort +4, Ref +1, Will +2, Perception +3, Initiative +1, Psychic Strike 8/8 Active effects: Divine Favor

Staggered in round 1

Hope surged into action, once again caught between the visions in her mind and the fast pace of unfolding reality, struggling to figure out which was which.

Moving up past Tarot, behind Vala, weapons ready.
