Ischell's page

"I am glad we brought you dudes along... this magic stuff isn't my thing, ya know. But still, its nice to know that these changes aren't going to be, like, permanent or anything."

Ischell can help to contain him, and grab his weapon- but he is otherwise pretty useless here.

I can only stun with an unarmed attack (10 ft reach right now). I'll let him be, if it is clear he is under the influence of the mind maze spell to Ischells (dumb) eyes. Standing without picking up his weapon doesn't seem threatening

"Come on Crowe, Snap out of it!"

I'll pass on the AoO while he picks up his weapon. I'll use the AoO for him standing to try to disarm again

Disarm: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37

My math says that Ischell has 2 AoO, and 3 attacks. The trip/disarm/trip took a total of 4 actions, so he should have one attack at iterative

Iterative, Aboleth, Smite: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 4 = 27
Damage, Smite: 1d8 + 16 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 6 = 30

I left a complicated set of instructions.

Goal #1 = trip crowe
Goal #2 = Disarm Crowe
Goal #3 = Attack Aboleth

Once I have accomplished a goal, he will flip to the next one

AoO Crowe, Trip: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36

If the AoO was successful, then Ischell will on his turn attempt a disarm, with Crowe taking a -4 on CMD for being prone. If not, Ischell will 5 ft step away (so he doesn't provoke) and attempt iterative trip/disarms. They are the same CMB modifier

Disarm or Trip!: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23
Flurry Disarm or Trip!: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 39
Iterative Disarm or Trip!: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

Will, DC 22: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Staring down the creature, Ischell meets its challenge head on.

"Woah there, buddy. Keep those thoughts to yourself, dude."

He swings through with his kama, whipping it back across the creature before striking again- and then taking a 5 ft step back.

Kama, Flurry, Smite: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 Smite: 1d8 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29
Kama, Flurry, Smite: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 Smite: 1d8 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23
Kama, Flurry, Smite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 Smite: 1d8 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28

Reach 20 ft, AC 25 against the aboleth. 2 AoO/round

Creature should be 25 feet away from Ischell at this point

And drops all of his held weapons

With the hurt of leaving his friend in such a condition, Ischell races over to the far side of the cavern, positioning himself defensively on the other side of Reginald.

"He'll be ok in a few seconds. I hope someone has a, ya know, solution, or something"

Staring the advancing creature, Ischell sets his will against it. Swift: Smite

Reach 20 feet, 2 AoO available. AC 25 against the creature

Seeing Crowe turn on him, Ischell attempts to strike the first blow. He spins, swinging his elbow into the side of the Shoanti- sending a stunning energy into his friend and companion.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25 B, nonlethal: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Stunning Fist: If the strike lands, DC 17 Fortitude or be stunned for 1 round.

I am going to wait to see the results of the stun before I commit to future actions. With such a low DC, it is a little bit of a hail mary. Sorry to slow us down...

The retcon itself makes sense based on initiative, turns to act. If we made the retcon, what options would Ischell have to act?

I am not super familiar with dispel magic- if it failed against Dominate, would it have downstream applied to mirror image?

From my stance, it is just part of the game. As long as Ischell gets to go before Crowe next round, then he will figure out what to do. His focus will have to be on Crowe, not the new creature.

Probably trip/disarm crowe, in addition to healing another 17ish HP.

Enlarged AC = 21, so it hits. By my count, Ischell is down 40 HP. 13/53 HP

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
11 points of damage - 3 resistance = 8 points of damage

"Watch it with that stuff, dude."

Ischell's hands grow white, and then quickly flows over his entire body. LoH, Fey Foundling: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4) + 6 = 17

"Well, that is a bit better. Now, where were we, my man?"

He swings his Kamas with a dazzling speed, directed at the prone creature

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry, Prone, Smite: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 4 + 4 = 26
Adamantine, S, PA, Smite: 1d6 + 14 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 6 = 24

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry, Prone, Smite: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 4 + 4 = 23
Adamantine, S, PA, Smite: 1d6 + 14 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 6 = 21

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry, Prone, Smite: 1d20 + 7 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 4 + 4 = 22
Adamantine, S, PA, Smite: 1d6 + 14 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 14 + 6 = 26

Swift: LOH. Full Round: Attack. -14 + -8 = -22. 17 healing, now -5

I believe that he was prone, so standing should trigger an AoO from Ischell and Crowe. Ischell rolled his in his last post

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

11 electricity damage, ER 3 = 8 damage

"I am done with these creatures- no reason to mess around any longer!"

Smite Evil: If evil, +4 to hit, +6 to damage, +4 to AC

Trip!: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 +4 if Evil

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 If first trip failed, attempt #2. +4 if Evil, +4 if Prone, +1 if trip #1 failed
Smite, Damage: 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 +6 if evil

Attack #3: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 +4 if evil, +4 if prone
Damage, Smite: 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 +6 if Evil

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

9 Points of Damage, Electricity Resistance 3 = 6 Points of Damage

Ischell moves forward, un-phased by the electricity- stepping close enough to get the caster within his considerable reach.'

Well.... Uh.... I guess I was expecting more from that, ya know? But- I think we should press on, quick like. Before I lose my magic and all"

Ischell continues to move forward into the cave, hoping to make the most of his 5 minutes of enlarged person.

Attack of opportunity
+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Now quite large, Ischell steps forward swinging his Kama at the closest skum. 5 ft step. Reach 20 feet

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

AC 21

Ischell presses forward, and begins to swell in size Innate enlarge, Giantslayer boon

The partially webbed human pads along beside Crowe, more cautious after the last round of attacks.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

"There is something here. Take a look, do you think it would be useful to us? Seems kinda slippery to me..."

Ischell takes a small step away, before swinging his Kama's at their full reach toward the grasping creature.

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Once again, his hands glow bright white before fading across his body.

LOH, Fey Foundling: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1) + 6 = 13

ouch. Next round has the potential to be bad…
AoO, pushing assault: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Pushing Assault. Reposition by 5 feet and interrupts movement. It can still move if it had movement to spare.
Unfazed by the sudden and surprise and grapple onslaught, Ischell slices with his kamas at the creature that has him grabbed.

+1 Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 2 = 26
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

+1 Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 2 = 11
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

+1 Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 2 = 10
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Harnassing the power about him, Ischell's hand glow a bright white that slowly spreads across his body, while his wounds heal

Swift, lay on hands
LOH, Fey Foundling: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2) + 6 = 20

Striding across the room, Ischell lashes out against the fearsome creature.

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

"Well- I don't think we have many choices. Press on, my dudes. Press on. "

Standing firm, Ischell lashes out at the cloaker still hovering above his head.

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 - 2 = 23
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 14 - 2 = 15

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 2 = 19
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 14 - 2 = 13

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 2 = 13
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 14 - 2 = 14

Positioning himself 5 feet closer, Ischell lashes out at the things with his chained Kama (10 ft reach)

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 2 = 11
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 14 - 2 = 16

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 2 = 19
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 2 = 17

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 2 = 25
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 2 = 17

Confirm?: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 - 2 = 17
Extra Damage: 1d6 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 14 - 2 = 15

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

"That's uncalled for, dude. You act like I can't see these creatures for myself! What do you think? Should I just, like, let you deal with them then?"

Ischell pulls out a wand and taps it on himself a couple of times...

CLW, Fey Foundling: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4
CLW, Fey Foundling: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 2 = 11
CLW, Fey Foundling: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

"Lets, uh... be moving on. I guess I need to be more careful, huh?"

Ischell steps back out into the hallway and continues to move onwards through the tunnels. He swings his blades with a nervous tension...

"This is all some kind of illusion or something. It's crazy dude, I really thought they were real, ya know. Don't worry about me though, I'll be ok. Nothing some light stretching won't sort out. But, uh... what do you think we do about this?"

Is any semblance of the encounter real, or does Ischell sense the entire scene is an illusion?

Stepping into the room, Ischell sees the wounded and injured townsfolk.

"Woah. This is no good, man. We gotta do something about all of this hurt, ya know?"

He waves his companions with him into the space, closing his eyes.

'Iori, my dude. I need a little more of your presence right about now."

Channel (uses 2 LOH): 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) = 12

A burst of white energy fills the room, engulfing the heroes and the villagers alike.

"Thanks!" he says, to no one in particular.

My LOH are pretty valuable, but this seemed like the Paladin thing to do. And even Ischell has to sometimes act like a paladin!

No additional prep

Allowing the others a moment to follow behind, Ischell pushed forward down the corridor and into the exposed space- his ion stone providing enough light to navigate by.

"Like. Be prepared, dudes. I am sure this is going to be gnarly"

Ischell the follows the others down, but after watching the others fly- and not levitate- he pulls out a glass vial with a thin, yellow liquid, drinking it down. He slowly floats off the ground and wills himself to fly toward the opening.

"What do you see down there? It's like... too dark for me"

He reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a small, glowing ion stone that is quickly placed into orbit around his head- giving off a soft torch like glow.

"Much better, man. ready when you are". He gives a quick twirl to his karma and sets off.

Thats what I thought. Ischell drank the potion and floated down the well.

"Alright dude. I am Ischell- pleasure to meet you. It's like... you just appeared or something. Thats pretty wild."

With a lazy flick of the his wrist, he spins his Kama in a wide loop before catching it and tucking it back into his belt.

"Weren't we, like, off to do something?"

Sorry guys. I am keeping (barely) up with my games as it is. I don't think I have the margin to run a second character in addition to Ischell.

I had forgotten about the blood rager- he is not a bad build.

Thats fine by me. Amari?

We also haven't seen Castinus for a really long time either (he has basically followed along and been written out of the story)

I think so :/

Following the direction of his companions- Ischell grabs a potion and drinks- after a quick test to ensure the potion functions as anticipated, he steps off the cliff and descends.

I am game to increase speed again- however, I am without any real internet until Monday. I can check in and do small updates, but nothing complex or in character or that involves a map

Those pools are giving me the heevey-jeebes. Something about them feels pretty off... evil even. I would, ya know, keep a little distance between them and you if you can.

Then, ignoring his own advice, he moves a couple of feet closer to continue to inspect the areas around the pool. Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Not getting any closer than 10-15 feet

Ischell's eyes flash gold, before slowly reverting back to their normal coloration. Detect Evil

Standing tall, Ischell strides into the chamber- Kamas in hand, and slowly glances over the pools. He turns back to his companions, who are trickling in behind him.

Where do you suppose we go, anyhow?

"Well, it seems like this Gerlach dude is our focus, right? I am not sure what this elixir does, but it can't be, like, good... ya know?"

Ischell uses his webby fingers to scratch his face.

"What do you think we need to be prepared for? I hate walking into places like this without a little bit of prep."

Surrounded, Ishell turns his Kamas into close range weapons- slashing and swiping in a blur of action.

Starting with Brown, and then working clockwise

+1 Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

+1 Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

+1 Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Crit?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Ishell steps forward, seeing the conversation switch to a threat... his kama swinging at his side.

"This isn't the best choice, dudes. I am sorry for what is about to happen..."

Readied attack, first thing to come in 10 ft range

+1 DC Kama, PA, Flurry: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Adamantine, S, PA: 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

I think the RNG broke...

"I'll trust you on the sincere part, man. It seems chill enough though."

Ischell steps up, moving along side Aaftaab towards the scum and the newly freed workers.

"We could help you, if you'd like. Seem like you were under some wicked enchantment, or something. There is some magic thing in the tower over there- and it was, like, controlling you or something. Now that it is stopped, I am thinking we need to figure out who is in charge of this whole thing. I am sure its not a good dude, ya know?"

Diplo, aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
