Jenner 'Holystone''s page

Jenner shakes the woman's fairly-offered hand with a small nod, then hooks his hands into his belt. "You speak well, Miss Lethanna. Any who are willing to work, and who are not cowed by the dangers so far, are worth their weight in gold, here. Keepin' spirits up with the loss of so many of us recently-- and the knowledge that monsters wore their faces and fooled us-- is perhaps one of the most important things you could be doin'. It seems yeh'd be good at that."

He offers a brittle, tired smile. "Aye. There's tomorrow. Take your bath. Me, I'll be in the forge. And have some of the wild onion soup if they've got some brewing in the square-- it's good for the belly."

When his talk with Primrose is concluded, Jenner makes a weary way back to the forge. He hopes Primrose can find a good night's rest, but he doubts sleep will come to him anytime soon.

So occupied with his own sorrows is the dwarf, he fails to notice a pair of eyes watching from the treeline.

It's been a week. Sorry for a retconned in response to things from ages ago:

Jenner opens his mouth and then shuts it at Tettia's logic regarding the odds that this Primrose is a shapeshifter... He seems to be groping for a counter-argument, then finally just runs a hand still smeared with blood over his face and nods, oh-so-wearily, before turning back to the attempts to assess the damage to the community.

***

It's hours later before he seeks out Primrose, and at least in that time he has washed and changed. He knocks at the house where various passers-by have said they saw the new woman going, and, if and when she answers, clears his throat and gives the human a somewhat subdued nod.

"Thought we might try starting over, if'n yeh don't mind. It's been... a hell of a few days. Dunno how much you've been told. But we're all in mourning, a bit, and new faces showing up, well.... can't say I was in too trusting a mood, but, 'tis not your fault, Miss Lethanna."

Jenner offers a callused palm in a weary way. "The name's Jenner, though I've been known to answer to Holystone. I patch folks up, or cut 'em open if they seem the bad sort. Yeh've come at a hell of a time but we'll do our best to make yeh feel at home. I wish I could give you news of this brother of yours-- we can check the logs, such as we have, of the first colony's work, but I'll admit, I cannae say I've seen any hint of that name so far."

***

Jenner watches Aurelian briefly when the other man is punishing himself with grueling battle training, but does not approach the other man. Everyone grieves in their own way.

He spends his time in the forge, beating metal until it warps and is useless and must be cast back into the furances, until sweat rolls down him til he's slick with it and can barely see for the sting.

Jenner headed for Alba's hut as soon as the last monstrosity was slain, in the hopes there might be some clue in the belongings of the thing that had impersonated her. Presumably Finding nothing, he had regrouped with the others, in time to see... of all things... a new face in the colony.

His axe was back in his hand a second later.

"Let me get this bleedin' straight-- Ramona-- sweet Alba-- all the rest of 'em-- are missin' an' likely dead and those shiftin' horrors were playin' at bein' them like how children play at dolls--"

The dwarf IS bloody; he'd made some attempt to wipe the worst of it off but he's missed a lot of spots-- continues with increasing volume.

"....and a new face shows up and you're willin' to just buy she is WHO SHE SAYS SHE IS?" Jenner half-roars. He starts to circle Primrose with a dark glint in his eye.

"Aye, and who's PRIMROSE LETHANNA, then?!"

Welcome to both our new GM and our new player! Delighted to have you both on board.

I also like high-charisma characters, but I have the problem of also liking dwarves. ;________;

I leveled Jenner up and will post his level up later tonight. I took Craft Magic Arms and Armor finally so hopefully this will not be a wasted feat.

Thanks for doing all that. I'll level up soonish.

No worries!

"Thass the spirit!" Jenner grins at Aurelian as they tag-team one of the horrors.

Actions contingent on if the one we are flanking is still standing, if not Jenner will move to be in melee of another one. Unclear if the verdict was that my bull's strength was still up.

Attack!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 +2 if flank, +2 more if b.s.
Vital Axing: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (8, 1) + 8 = 17 +2 more if if B.S

I'd like to be able to continue if we can find a GM. Sorry to see you go, Nikolaus. Also I'd be sorry to lose you too, Ashlyn.

"Damn! Has anyone got some way of creating water!" Jenner cries as the first fires are thrown. He barrels towards one of the three on Aurelian, trying to come to his aid.

(Has it been less than six minutes since the last fight? If so, my bull's strength is still up. But it might be expired. Move to move, swift to cast ironskin on myself with a fervor use, and std to power attack/furious focus, vital strike, on Yellow)

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 +2 if B.S. still active.... though that should hit regardless
Vital Damage: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (9, 2) + 8 = 19 +2 more if B.S.

"WHAT DID I JUST SAY ABOUT FLIPPIN' TREACHERY!?"

AC 23 w/ ironskin

Sure, paranoia: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 Lol.

"Ramona?! Where the HELL is Alba!" Jenner growls as he walks, axe still dripping some ichor. "Aye, lead on, there's more treachery here to cut down today, it's plain to see. God's wounds, if these bastards have killed so many close to us, I'll see the scales balanced with blood before I sheathe this axe again."

Jenner grimly steps forward and tries to cut down another of the shapeshifters. "Yeh are doin' good work there, Ashlyn," he remarks.

Same as last turn: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Damage: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (2, 2) + 10 = 14

Is there even a joke to be made? The punchline's already literally what just happened...

"I'm with ya, Sarine," Jenner growls, a murderous light in his normally placid face. He decides Sarine has the false Alba in hand, and turns to look at Ashlyn with her own foes. "--alright, I'm with Ashlyn."

Shouting a short word of invocation of Abadar, Jenner turns and tears for the nearest of the monsters attacking Ashlyn.

Use of fervor to cast Bull's Strength as a swift, move to move, std to attack with power attack/furious focus, bull's stength, vital strike

Attack one of the ones on Ashlyn: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Damage: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (4, 8) + 10 = 22

"COME AND GET SOME, YEH DUPLICITOUS SCUM!"

Sorry to have been so quiet, hope you don't mind a bit of creative license here GM to explain why Jenner couldn't find Alba until now:

On return to camp Jenner had immediately stopped by Alba's hut to see how she was recovering. He had been relieved to find her not there, as it seemed proof enough that she was back in fine health and therefore 'to normal....'

...imagine therefore his shock and horror on reaching the beach, after being drawn by the screams

"Alba!" he roars-- not because he mistakes the shifting, formless creature for her, but as a wordless threat of vengeance. He doesn't waste time with more words, he just breaks into a run.

Not posting an actual action given it sounds like the baddies are beating me and also I have no idea of distance etc

selling the axe, because seaborne is something i already emulate with aquatic combatant and i can make my axe magical.

Sorry I've been so quiet. Kind of hellish week personally. Going to try to get caught up.

I cannot make anything magical yet due ot not having the feat yet for that.

Jenner claps Sarine on the shoulder. "Well rolled at any rate. Sorry, Desna seemed to have that one sewn for me before the cloth was even cut. I'll spot you a drink for it-- if we ever get a brewery built on this island of ours!"

He settles his hands on his knees, regarding Tettia over the campfire's light. "Ah now, lass, 's a sad fact that not all folk have a grand time of it, 'specially if a partner's less than attentive. Still and all, yeh've said you don't want to talk on it further tonight, so, I should listen to that, shouldn't I? As should we all," he says with a slight flick of his eyes at Aurelian.

"Now, I could show more-- how did you call them? Parlor games! If folk like..." Jenner says with a grin, holding up the dice.

Since Sarine seems amenable, Jenner grins and pulls out a handful of bone dice, well-worn from years of being rolled around on the decks of ships. "Ship, Cap'n, Crew? 's an old classic. It might have land-names as well, but I learned it sailin'."

He beckons Ashlyn closer to watch, and Sarine as well so he can demonstrate.

"Each player get three rolls of the bones. Your goal's to get a six-- that's the ship-- a five-- the skipper-- and a four, the crew. Anything you have left is the cargo, and breaks the tie if all players manage to get ship, cap'n, an' crew. The trick is you've got to take them in order, so, here's a samplin':"

Jenner rolls the five dice into the dirt to demonstrate.

5d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 5, 6) = 20

"Ah, see, there's m'ship," he says, nudging the die that's facing the six pips upward with one stubby finger. "And I rolled the five and the four on the first cast-- that's about as good a roll as I could hope for. A pity it's my damn demonstration, ha! Now if I hadn't managed the six on the first go, I couldn't take neither the five nor the four-- you can't take the lower values if you hen't got the higher yet.

"Anyhow, this was a very good cast-- I filled all three of the neces'ries on my first, so I can set them aside." Jenner plucks the 6, 5, and 4 from the pot, and puts them to the side. "That leaves me with the 2 and the 3, for a cargo of 5. I do have two casts left, so I could try an' get a higher cargo, so I will."

Plucking the two remaining dice, he shakes them in hand, and tosses them into the soil.

2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

"Ah, well, there's something to be said for consistency, hen't there? I'll try my third cast to pick up better cargo."

2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

"Well! Some change 's better than none. So, that's a successful hand of ship-cap-crew, and a cargo of 6-- a pretty good showing. But alas, that's what it was, just a showing," the dwarf says with a rueful grin. "If you don't get the ship, cap, and crew, you lose regardless. Now then. For our actual stakes of that fine gauntlet...."

Jenner picks up all five of the dice and breathes on them for luck, and lets them roll...

5d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 1, 5) = 15

"See! That's a sight worse. I didn't get a ship this time, so I can't go hiring on that skipper or that crew yet. Now my luck's back to usual form. Second cast:"

5d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 3, 6) = 15

"Ah! A ship at least. But now I've got to get lucky and get both skipper and crew in my last cast." Setting aside the six, Jenner rolls the remaining dice.

4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 6) = 21

"....I'll be damned," Jenner says with a blink. "Ah, well, there's my captain... my crew... and... ah.... double sixes for cargo."

He grins, somewhat sheepishly, at Sarine, and hands over the dice. "....well... you might match me?"

"That's a fine gauntlet there, care to wager a friendly game on it?" Jenner grins at Sarine.

OOCly I'm fine with either myself or Sarine taking it. Sorry I've been so quiet, incredibly busy + a sick cat. :( Sorry for short post but just wanted to confirm I'm still here, alive, and ready to go for the red tree area

Well, since Ashlyn offered.... Thanks Ashlyn!

Jenner makes a nose-scrunched look when Ashlyn points out he's still fairly hurt himself. "Aye, well, that is to say-- yes."

3 CLW on Jenner: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (6, 8, 8) + 9 = 31 takes me to 43/44. Can live with that

"Ha, yes, well, Abadar can only be in so many places at once as well, patching your hide up," Jenner says with a crooked grin at the swordsman. "--ah, thank you Ashlyn, that's a sight better.

"I agree, we ought make a camp, keep our eyes out for trouble."

Jenner busies himself laying out something like an organized camp despite the less than ideal circumstances, and listens with some amusement to Tettia's inquiries of Aurelian. For himself, once the camp is sorted, he undoes the braids in his beard, untying the various little favors and the wooden key, and carefully combs out both his beard and hair with scrupulous thoroughness, then takes the time to rebraid each bit again, in the same pattern it had previously settled into.

"I'll have a lot to add in this batch of letters to the family," he says, to nobody in particular. "Watery beasts, the unquiet dead... visions of Earthfall itself."

thanks! In that case, Aurelian heals that 12 hp as well-- though I'm still out of spells beyond that.

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Snort

"Damnation!" Jenner yelps again as he catches enough fire to again sear past his protections. He hurriedly puts his beard out before it can smolder too badly.

"....gnhhh. This wasn't the best of days, my friends..."

Align Weapon becomes cure mod on Sarine: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 2) + 5 = 12

Is this the same day as the fight with the Chuul? If so, I'm now out of spells. If we had a day's rest (the thread just says a 'long journey', but not sure), then I have an ironskin that can become a cure mod on Aurelian, but it's my last spell; I wiped out an awful lot of spells healing us after the rockfall/cataclysm thing.

Potential cure mod on Aurelian???: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 1) + 5 = 12

I took 20 damage that fight even with my resist fire up, so I'm now at 12/44. We may need to rest before we go any further, for sure.

"Lovely idea, Tettia, it's just that I hit harder with this axe than with chuckin' rocks at it. 'n 'm protected from the worst of its fire at least."

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

"Ow," Jenner says, with some curses appended, as the fire burns hot enough to scorch through his protections. "Bloody dammit."

He tries to sidestep to join Sarine, and hacks again.

Waraxe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 +2 if feasible flank
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

....okay, that's more like the rolls I'm used to for Jenner.

And, as I said in turn, haunts sometimes do use spells and SLAs. :P Thanks for the heal, Ashlyn.

"That's right, Sarine-- they burst into flames! You might wish to step back and... nay, I guess not."

The flames writhe around him but Jenner's magic protects him-- though not from the raking claws. He grimaces but holds his ground, slashing back at his attacker.

Waraxe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Ah, well in that case, if it's okay, I would not have made it magical! Was the rocks falling a spell or SLA?

But incorporeal like normal shadows? That'd be very relevant for Jenner to know. If that's not meta-gaming, then he'll swift action to make his axe magical via sacred weapon. Also, can you confirm whether or not my bonus applied regarding the save-- I know you said haunt, but sometimes haunts are using or duplicating spells or spell likes, so I need to know to have my HP listed correctly

"Watch out! These shadowy bastards blow right up when they die," Jenner warns his friends as he invokes a golden glow around his axe. "All bastardy flames and sech."

Resist fire on myself as a standard, and move to engage the shadows. If it's meta-gaming too much to know that they're incorporeal I won't have sacred weapon up.

I'm a little confused, was something about the rockfall illusory? If so, was there a will save needed?

Reflex vs rocky death: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 Yeahno. Though my hardy/steel soul applies (is this a spell/SLA/etc?) then I do make the DC, so it matters.

"Damn and blast it I'm having flashbacks to that rigged ceiling falling on us and wrecking our boat," Jenner groans as he tries to stand through the detritus of the rockfall. Ashlyn beats him to healing Tettia, but Jenner rubs wearily at his face. "Hang on, lad and lasses, I'll try and get us all patched a bit..."

I'll blow four fervor for two channels, I guess, since we definitely need it :-\

Total channel heals: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 2) = 12 As sub-average as the original damage was over-average :(

CLW to Aurelian: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
CLW to Sarine: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
CLW to Tettia: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
CLW to Ashlyn: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Last fervor for himself: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10 Sigh, well, a lot of crap healing for everyone else, sorry. To sum up: Aurelian healed a total of 17 from me, Sarine healed a total of 21 from me, Tettia a total of 21 from me, Ashlyn 17 from me, and I'm now out of first level spells (except longstrider as a domain spell) and all fervor.

***

Kn Religion vs these undead: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Delaying posting my actions until I know what they are-- actual shadows as like the monster 'shadow's?

Jenner studies the glyphs with his new helmet on...

Ugh, my reading comprehension has just failed entirely lately. Sorry.

Jenner looks over the helm that Ashlyn hands him with appreciation for the fine workmanship. When Tettia mentions it was worn by judges of the law, his brows raise. "You don't say! I wonder if they worshiped Abadar back then as well, or if they had another name. Well, I don't know if I'm much of a judge but I value what's fair and what ought to be.... let's see if they sized this for a dwarven skull or if it's going to pinch like all hells."

Jenner peeks inside the helm once just to be sure there's no creepy crawlies inside, and then carefully dons it.

"It's true the past does inform the present," Jenner agrees amiably with Tettia. "I'm not much of a scholar, but my folks always said without roots in the past you can't build a great deal now. 'Course, they was also always on me for ditching my roots, but..."

The dwarf shrugs. "Think that's Warmquartz, eh? It could be. Could be."

C is fine by me

Aurelian you welcher. ;) Sorry for my slowness, got snowed by some family things. Will try and post in-game sometime Saturday afternoon evening. I also vote C.

It's a standard to maintain the grapple, a move action to shift to the tentacles, meaning there'd be no actions left to have clawed at me-- it missed, and it's dead, so it doesn't matter per se... :P But just for clarification.

Jenner grabs Sarine's motionless form and kicks immediately for the surface! "Easy on! We've got you!"

(Also had air bubble prepped but it sounds like that's not necessary! Good work team.)

"Got munched there pretty hard, Sarine, you alright?" the dwarf asks once Sarine can breathe again.

When they get around to investigating the cave, Jenner shakes his head at the body of the dead winged figure. "Anyone know what this poor fellow was? The cave goes further back, worth checking out, but we ought to try to say a few words over the body, at the least."

Jenner swims through the water to flank with Aurelian and chops roughly at the watery abomination!

Attack, two-handing the axe, saltbeard, flank: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 32 Potential critical!
Confirm?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Critical Damage: 3d10 + 24 ⇒ (10, 7, 5) + 24 = 46 (If the 23 doesn't confirm it's only a d10+8)

...roughly, but hard. If he weren't underwater he'd be yelling some choice Dwarven curses that roughly translate to 'in yer face, b#$~%!'

"Oh, now... this is nice!" Jenner exclaims as he realizes Sarine's made him able to swim. He plunges in with a grin, kicking hard for the 'chuul'-- whatever THAT is. He tries to get on the other side of the creature from either Sarine or Aurelian

Swift action to use fervor for casting ironskin, move to move, std to attack; AC sans shield but plus ironskin and saltbeard should be 23

Attack, two-handing the axe, saltbeard, potential flank?: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

(No penalties due to aquatic combatant feat)

Jenner grimaces at the dunk ahead, shouldering out of his pack, and securing his shield to his back, but he does not leave his armor behind....

Take ten on swim for a 17

Wear full plate and you can just walk on the bottom right?

Yes, definitely take the longswords, I can always mend them or make whole as necessary, given downtime!

Jenner looks impressed with how quickly his allies fell the dead and soon go about setting their souls to rest. "Now we did a good thing there, friends. Just as well we didn't walk on, eh?"

He makes sure to pat Sarine on the back-- with healing.

Sacking air bubble for CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

"Damnation," Jenner mutters into his beard as he wades within thirty feet of them. "Fache, lad, are you alright??"

Channel to harm undead, dc 15 save for half: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

The problem with positive energy whacking is that my channels, and the cures available to us at this level, do not do that much at a go. A haunt of our level's appropriate CR -- or higher, if we're off in the land of 'you weren't supposed to tackle this level yet'-- is going to have more than enough HP that we're not going to manage to kill it before its actual effects trigger. (I hate haunts~) Even my channels might have to be in the water to be effective, since water will block line of effect. And I already failed my knowledge check to ID it as a haunt so I'm not getting a chance to act in the triggering round, anyway; as far as I know the only other person who can throw positive energy at it is Ashlyn.

Jenner scowls at the water, not liking the fact that they're dealing with critters intelligent enough to stay in it. "Well, they damn well aren't mindless zombies," he points out. "I don't care to wade in after them-- who knows what sorta ambush they might be clever enough to rig? If they're gonna stay tight in the water mayhap we can mark the spot, come back when we've got a decent plan?"

Jenner mutters a brief prayer to Abadar, and his skin-- where it can be seen in the gaps of his armor-- takes on a metallic sheen. (Casting ironskin as a swift action)

"Come on then, yeh ugly dead lads," he intones, backing up a little with the others and readying his axe.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

"Now what's with this water then...." (Any check that pertains to that? Kn Religion if it is a haunt, I imagine:)

Kn Rel: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Readied attack if a hostile approaches: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Jenner lightly shifts his axe in his hand, watching the water warily...

I defintiely would prefer to fight things on land if they will come out :P

"Yeh, we don't want you the closest to the water. Aurelian, how about you and I go with her and stand betwixt her and the waves, eh?"

Jenner unslings axe and shield to do this, seemingly taking this in stride. As they walk down, though, he asks aloud: "--Say, though, doesn't water itself block a spell like that? Yeh have to be casting in water to effect stuff underwater, and sech?"

"Damned if you're not right, that is pretty good stone," Jenner says, pleased, as he studies the basalt face (wondering how he missed it himself (it's because you get crap for skill points, Jenner)).

"As for undead.... they'll need dealing with sometime, aye. If we have more folk working in the area here in months to come, which we hope to, then even if the water were left strictly alone we'd have them to tussle with eventually. They'd come round sniffing. If there's any even still here," he adds on optimistically. "But if Elizar can give us a look-see I'm not opposed."

missed that other people had STR damage; I could easily have prepped two more lesser restorations the night I prepped Sarine's, so:

Lesser Resto Ashlyn: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Lesser Resto Elizar or Ashlyn: 1d4 ⇒ 4

After the first prayer he says over Ashlyn is not incredibly successful, Jenner asks if she wants him to try again... or focus on her 'friend.' It's a Sense Motive DC of zero to recognize he'd really rather spend it on her and not try and 'touch' the wailing-and/or-angry ghost, but either way, he does as she wishes. Just one way with more sighing.

Will try for a longer post later but wanted to get the ability damage sorted

Over the night's rest, Jenner will beseech Abadar for the ability to do something about Sarine's weakened condition...

Prepping a lesser resto to toss on Sarine:

1d4 ⇒ 4 Woo! So you should be healed 5 ability damage, Sarine, what with the night's rest. Jenner had a lot of unused spells after that first day so with GM permission those were all sacked into cures and everyone should be full on HP when we return

Also on the return journey, Jenner tries to talk to the maimed cyclops, though with the poor wretch's near-broken mind, the going is arduous. Jenner settles for merely spending time near Aeroclyse, usually, speaking in a calm and steady tone of voice of nothing in particular-- commenting on the warmth of the sun, the sound of the birds or the water-- and occasionally pressing a piece of jerky into the cyclops's hands. In short he treats him much like a wounded animal that he is slowly trying to put at ease; if nothing else, Jenner does not lack patience.

Once back at the camp, after reports have been given, Jenner beelines to check on Alba. "Ma'am? How are you feelin', now? Any better?" he asks anxiously whilst knocking on the door.

Jenner hurriedly turns to Sarine to staunch her bleeding.

Fervor heal: 1d6 ⇒ 1 Snort

At work right now but I'll probably throw some channels, is everyone's listed HP accurate?

"Don't knock it if it works, Tettia," Jenner half-chuckles.

One mist is still on the map I see-- if that's incorrect token-age, then these are my actions:

Jenner spins away from the bloody mist droplets falling to the floor and hurtles along to go join Aurelian, clomping up the stairs and leading with axe-to-the-face.

"Aye, you've no idea how many bereft, vengeance-seeking admirers you may have just incurred," he tells the hag. Before chopping.

Attack, incl bless: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Damage, magical: 1d10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 = 14

Move to move, std to attack. If the mist is actually still there the attack would go on it instead.

"Hang on, Sarine!" Jenner calls, seeing how Sarine has been taking damage. "Abadar, bless my blade!"

Swift to make my axe magical, move to the mist (circling so as not to provoke), std to attack

vs Mist, bless: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17
Damage, magical: 1d10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9

(Can I get a confirmation of whether I was able to get Prot from Evil up last round, or whether I had to use my swift to get agile feet for the stairs instead? That way I can list my AC accurately.)

BLESS is up on the party folks, don't forget your +1

Fortitude: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

"Stand strong, mates!" Jenner roars as he shakes off the attempted horror.

Standard to cast bless, will hit all allies. +1 on attacks, +1 vs fear. Swift to cast protection from evil on himself via fervor, move up the stairs, unless they are difficult terrain, in which case he will instead use his agile feet blessing as a swift action to negate the diff terrain and still move up them (but won't have protection from evil up). AC 19 with prot evil figured in, 18 without. (12T/13T, respectively)
