I'm back to posting. Depression is a horrible witch, and should just go away.
"I'll head up first. Just in case whatever up there is magical." Isabel starts to climb.
Happy New Year all!!!!
"That will teach you. Silly creature. Isabel yells as he shows up in the Fire.
Isabel helps checking on the runes. "Let's get these two other switches done. I'm excited to see what the puzzle reveals."
Isabel still flying at the top of the room. "We moved one of the levers, and I shut down the magic of the rune to see what was in the room above. It wasn't you lot. It was a switch we couldn't move. What did you figure out Tilver?"
Isabel is still hanging out in the room that was open.
"I can cast fly. What do you think about me staying up here while you move the stairs from below? That should keep anyone from falling to their death if the floor suddenly falls out from under this room."
"I'll try." She moves to where she can see the rune and casts Dispel Magic on the rune.
Isabel staggers as Tung sticks his head into the hole. "What? That was one of the...." she just starts muttering to herself. "Is there a trap? Should I try to dispel the magic? I hope they were just teleported and not actually disintegrated." She casts detect magic at the hole.
That's it exactly. I have close out reports due, and people wanting the new fiscal year budgets. All like last week. Never mind that Congress hasn't even "given" us our money yet.
I have not been hit by a bus, but it feels like it. Work buried me this week. I'll try to get posts up tomorrow. I hate the end of the federal fiscal year.
Isabel grabs a few to take back to the surface. The quickly disappear into her sleeves of storing.
"Someone has been here before us. Looks like they took care of the traps, but they might be waiting for us." Isabel sticks her head in and casts Detect Magic in the direction of the scorpions.
"Careful this feels too easy." She moves forward and casts detect magic from the doorway.
Isabel reaches out and casts Guidance on Tilver. "Be careful."
"Tilver did you want to rest while we treat your wounds or would you like to use one of our potions. That way we can keep moving?" Isabel asks the Investigator.
Anyone want to be resistant to electricity?" Isabel holds up the ring. "I'm all for following Magill. It's as good a direction as any. Unless someone can figure out the levers."
Isabel sees the ring lying next to her, and picks it up. She attempts to learn what she can about it.
Isabel wanders into the room slowly. She pulls a wand out of her sleeves. "I have a wand of heal. Tilver. Here. Tung needs it first. I can try to trick the item, but..." she shrugs. "I'd rather not take the chance right now." She also pulls out two potions. "If we need them I have two lesser Healing Potions." Then she flops down on the floor, and stares into the shadows Focusing to regain her spell.
Isabel concentrates and chokes the shadow in her hands. Then she flicks a hand and sends a piece of debris flying at the Ogre Mage.
Isabel glares at the mage and casts her focus spell Steal the Shadow. Then she casts the Shield spell on herself. Shadow Steal DC25 Fort:
You steal a creature’s shadow, leaving it weakened and vulnerable. The target must attempt a Fortitude save.
Heightened (+1) The damage when the spell is cast and when it is sustained increases by 1d4. Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Isabel decides not to mess around a goes for consistency. She casts Magic Missile at the Ogre Mage
She glares at the mage and casts Paralyze on him. Paralyze DC24 Will: You block the target’s motor impulses before they can leave its mind, threatening to freeze the target in place. The target must attempt a Will save. Then she casts Shield.
Heightened (7th) You can target up to 10 creatures. Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Hero point.
Isabel can't avoid the blast of cold that comes her way, and takes the full brunt of the damage.
Edit: Isabel takes a step forward and then reaches out and slaps Silas lightly on the arm. "Go get them." She mutters as she casts Haste on him.
Isabel shaking with Fright moves forward anyway. She peers at the octopus headed creature in the back, and casts Phantasma Killer on it. "Isn't that winged creature the same one that got away from us?" Phantasma Killer DC24 Will Save: You create a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the target. Only the spell’s target can see the killer, though you can see the vague shape of the illusion as it races forth to attack. The effect of the killer is based on the outcome of the target’s Will save. Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Isabel continues to creep down the hallway. "I really hate this place."
As they walk to the manor Isabel introduces herself to Skarvek. "Glad to have the help. I'm your sorcerer and bar maid. My family lives in the city so I have a vested interest in keeping it safe." "I'll take a look down the passage as well. Give me a moment." Isabel smiles and slips into the shadows.
I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. Losing our furry friends is never easy.
As they return to the surface, Isabel says, "That was interesting. Trying to turn one house against the other? Is that normal for the nobles? Where I come from if you're upset at another family you just brawl it out in the tavern until you get tired then the loser buys drinks for a while." She keeps an eye out for danger as Silas is burdened with the remains fo the Paladin. "This is going to be hard for his order isn't it. I wonder if they will do something unwise."
"She's just going to do this again. Why I wonder did she need us to "steal" the key to the Banewarrens? It was her house after all. She SHOULD have been able to go down and get it herself." "Thank you for the healing Dain. I appreciate it very much."
Isabel moves closer to the werewolf, and casts Magic Missile at it.
I can't wait to see the weapon/bow monk. Sounds interesting.
I guess we do need to question her. But ouch that hurts. Good job on seeing her while invisible."
Isabel runs up next to Dain. "Where is she?" She smacks Dain on the shoulder and casts Guidance on him. Guidance: You ask for divine guidance, granting the target a +1 status bonus to one attack roll, Perception check, saving throw, or skill check the target attempts before the duration ends. The target chooses which roll to use the bonus on before rolling.
If the target uses the bonus, the spell ends. Either way, the target is then temporarily immune for 1 hour.
Isabel rushes past Tilver and Silas following Dain down the hallway. "They turned right down the hallway." She calls back.
Isabel stops and studies the constructs. Then she throws a chunk of rock at the Warrenbuilder B with a Telekinetic Projectile.
Isabel shrugs and follows the group out of the room. "Keep her in sight. I'll do what I can to make her visible when she stops running."
Wall of Force. This is my area of expertise." She moves to the front of the group, and studies the wall for a few minutes. Her hands wave and she speaks loudly casting Dispel Magic.
Isabel slips into the room, and tries to hide in the shadows, and watch the creatures. "What do you think the thing in the middle of the room does?"
Isabel peeks through the door. "Do the octopus look alive or dead? I think this room might flood or get wet somehow. Why would the floor be lower than the rest of the area otherwise?"
Isabel continues to ready her spell if it reappears. "I don't know what to do. I can't dismiss it or really attack it with much. Maybe we should leave the room alone."
Isabel yells "Gods what is that thing?" She gives Geristonomos a quick grin. "I'm Isabel Sadaus. I'm just along for the ride. They needed help, and I have some skills that can be helpful." She strides closer to Tung she readies to cast a Magic Missile at the creature when it comes in sight again.
"I'm afraid it's too late. The master's hand is on it's way to open a door as we speak. The woman you saw was known to us as the Bard Nicalon. We were tricked into retrieving the hand, and it was stolen from us. We have to retrieve it and stop the woman who took it from us. We also need that rod to start the generator. They have already failed, and we must seal the Banewarrens again." Isabel looks sheepish and angry at the same time as she recalls having the hand stolen from her.
"Can you tell us how to get to Tremoc Korrin? We need this rod to start up the ward again. I'm afraid the Banewarrens have been opened. Can you describe this woman? Are you sure it was a woman, and not a man?" Isabel looks confused. They were looking for a male bard.
