Joliryn, The Artist's page

Joliryn grabs the sky key and and urges the group to leave as soon as possible.

"I can't stand this place anymore, let's go and report our success."

Joliryn falls to a seated position as she watches the scroll masters defeat.

"Well I've got an interesting report to write at least." She says to no one in particular. After a few moments recovering she'll head to the sky key, since that is, after all, their final objective.

I vote 322 as MVP with those dispels!

Against her better judgement Joliryn moves forward and reveals herself with the only attack she has that's guaranteed to hit from across the room.
Magic Missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 4) + 4 = 17
She also mutters something about running back and forth across this damn room.
Expending another eldritch point to keep mystic focus for 2 more rounds, under the effect of blur instead of spider climb now, 20% miss chance HP:8 Eldritch points remaining: 3

don't believe we have his new location yet. Both of those Aram Zey icons have been there the entirety of the combat with the eastern most one being the "double" that was grappled in the beginning.

Yeah, I've seen a few Joliryn players talk about getting slaughtered, which very nearly happened to me already. I'd love to play her more offensive right now but I don't have the prestige for a revival :-(

Joliryn remains invisible, but starts to close in, hoping to provide some back up if needed.

Just realized I don't need the stairs....
Spending an Eldritch point to enter Mystic Focus, granting myself spider clime (swift action), double move)

Well, thankfully that dispel happened, I fully expected to start narrating the my death throes when I clicked on this game.

Nursing her wounds after the electrical assault, Joliryn mutters a few words and disappears from sight.
Cast Invisibility and moved toward the southern stairs.

That was voted down, feel free to say 'I told you so' Rataji.

Reflex vs DC21: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Joliryn watches as her skin burns, the smell of charred hair fills her nose and she cries in agony.

Current Health:8, yep, 8 health.

Will vs Slow (DC 20): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Shaking off whatever Aram Zey attempted to do, she rushes into the room, cursing her small halfling legs.

Double Move

Relex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
"Looks like I ruined our surprise entrance."

She quaffs her potion and draws her sword after dodging the blast.
CSW: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 6) + 3 = 12

"But at least we know my Intel was good."

current hp 49/59

"There's likely a protective ward on the door, but be my guest I suppose.

Was Joliryn able to see anything through the mail slot? Knowing how many enemies, and where they are would be helpful before combat, although all this talking likely took the surpise out of it.

Btw I forgot to mention Rataji stole the opponent wizard's spellbook, just to make certain she doesn't cause a fuss. Also... is she with us?

I may be wrong but given that we just got a dragon I feel like we're probably at the climax, she'd probably be more in the way than helpful at this point, just my 2 cents. Especially because I think she was a sorceress not a wizard.

"Now that Should is gone, are any of you any good with traps?"
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Detect Magic

If she is sure there aren't any traps Joliryn will lift the almost eye level mail slot and peer into the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Considering my dice rolls the last half of this adventure I'm not convinced I'd be worth the healing!

@Joliryn - I have 3 different levels of healing spells if you want to touch up.

if you don't mind sparing 1 clw that will mostly top me off but it's not that inportant.

"I am still a bit bruised from our battle with the lizards but I have a strong healing potion yet. I should be fine going forward, which I suggest we do with haste."

Definitely not passing up on this opportunity. Joliryn will offer her expertise to Wolona as well.

Diplomacy (aid another): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Joliryn tries to add to the rousing speech but finds herself uninspired.

"So much for not killing her. You boys love gratuitous slaughter."

Joliryn wipes off her own blade and starts peering around the room.

"Do what you want with the last one, I'm taking a look around."
Detect Magic
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Glad I'm not attacking anymore.

Zurnzal shifts his feet, now in advantage to maintain his grapple properly and with greater effect.

Using a move action to use Martial Flexibility to gain Improved Grapple and Deadly Grappler to deal damage as if I was one size category larger.

[dice=Maintain Grapple -> Pin]1d20+13+5

Assuming that will succeed

"How do you like that, honeybunch?", Zurnzal sarcastically asks as he uses his foot to push against the sorceress's back, both arms pulled back by the controlling half-orc.

She's was unconcious before your action, you might just be playing with a dead body now!

Seeing the wizard is mostly taken care of, Joliryn turns back to the paladin.

"Fine I won't kill her, but you're not going to subdue her either with a spell like that!"

Channeling Shocking grasp through my weapon.
Scimitar: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 3 = 181d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d6 ⇒ 3 Hopefully that hits with her -4 to AC, these rolls are killing me.
Shocking Grasp DMG: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 5, 6, 2) = 18

8 Slashing Dmg, 3 Fire Dmg, 18 Electricity dmg

Who is making the reflex save against the fireball?

Joliryn concentrates for a moment and a greasy substance shoots from her fingers to cover the floor around the paladins feet. Grease DC15 or fall, acrobatics 10 to move through at half speed. I'm assuming she automatically fails since she can't take any actions.

She'll then circle around the pillar hoping to move against the caster unseen.

Joliryn slides into the room as she draws her scimitar, she stops a few feet from the dazed Paladin, hoping she will provide some cover from the two enemies at long range.

Joliryn remains quiet during the encounter with the Pathfinders, seeing that the others have it covered, when they reach the door to the tapestry room she inspects it as thoroughly as she knows how.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12Casting detect magic hoping to avoid another ward.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

If she doesn't find anything interesting she'll prepare to move on.

"Glad that's over." Joliryn puts her blade and starts concentrating on the room, looking for anything magical, helpful or otherwise.

Detect Magic

Joliryn takes another stab at the lizard in front of her, hoping to finally fell the annoying beast.

+1 Flaming Scimitar: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 2 = 151d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d6 ⇒ 3
Forgot to mention this earlier, but the extra d6 is fire, so 8 slashing and 3 fire.

Joliryn moves in to help Marnarius.
Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Having moved in she applies her expertise to the situation,
Casting Shocking Grasp, Spellstrike applies again.
Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 7 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 4 + 2 = 14
Using bracers to reroll and take better result
Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 7 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 4 + 2 = 15
Well, thats a bust.

Unfortunately she seems unable to focus and doesn't add much to the situation at hand.

Last round of Mystic focus, last round of blur, 6 points in Eldritch pool, 2 use of bracers left, HP: 45/59

Joliryn seems almost serene as she retaliates against her foe. Her image seems suddenly hard to focus on as she weaves her magical artistry into the combat.
Mythic focus for 2/rounds. Choosing to be under effect of Blur (20%miss) for that duration.
+1 Flaming Scimitar: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 2 = 211d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d6 ⇒ 2-2 to hit for Spell combat, defensive cast frigid touch.
Concentration vs DC 21: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 4 = 27
Per Spell strike, when casting a spell with a touch attack I receive a free melee attack at full BaB to deliver spells damage+normal weapon damage
+1 Flaming Scimitar: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 211d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d6 ⇒ 3
Frigid Touch Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 6) = 10 Damage is cold, target is staggered for 1 round, no save

1 round of mystic focus left, 6 points left in Eldritch pool for the day.

As their esteemed leader investigates whatever just happened Joliryn sighs and steps forward into the next room as quietly as she can, keeping her eyes open for any more unpleasant surprises.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
"No, no it can't. Unfortunately I don't recognize the spell, so I have no idea what to expect here. Anyone else?"
Joliryn looks at the other casters of the party.

Joliryn stays where she is as her companions open the door, but she draws her weapon and starts considering her spells...just in case.

Joliryn casts a spell and looks intently over the door for a few moments.
Detect magic, and if there is magic
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

I don't have any ranks in disguise at all, so I agree with Zurnzals statement above. I'll opt for stealth.

is there a new map? Joliryn seems to have achieved her personal objective so other than going for the sky key I don't have anything to do, but I'm unclear as to how to proceed.

Joliryn has succeeded in what she wanted to accomplish thus far, so advancing to Skyreach works for me.

As Marnarious works on unlocking the cages Joliryn shakes her head.

"What Zurnzal means to say is that Aram Zey's office is heavily protected with magic, so much so that my contact does not even know how many spells are on the door. The illusion spell Zurnzal mentioned is a scroll, we should only have to deal with it if we give Aram Zey cause to fight, which I would not suggest given his magical abilities, I can detail his comost tactics later if need be."

She pauses for breath and to see how close the slayer is to finishing.

"I also have detailed information on the tunnels below Skyreach that may help us avoid patrols. The warning about traps may very well be true, as I'm sure the Master of Scrolls is not the only one assisting in the defense of this place. "

Joliryn turns to Zurnzal.

"Seems we both got what we needed. Mostly anyway. You got a plan on what to do as the sage? Let's go find the others and make sure no one blew our cover. "

"Not really, here you can read the report, I have it memorized already. Just give it back when you're done."

The halfling shakes her head while pinching the skin between her eyes.

"Wish I'd realized you were going to kill him. Oh well, he probably wouldn't have been useful much longer." As Zurnzal gets into the man's cloths Joliryn tells him that his name was Arminaldi Charthagnion and she sums up the information he provided her, particularly the bits about Aram Zey and avoiding his office and how closely the two had worked together.

"Alright, hurry up, we need to get moving, what's next?"

Joliryn registers Zurnzals signal and maintains her conversation with the sage as she secures his report and stores it in a safe place on her person.

"In return for you information, we promise to protect you from any ill effects once we leave the Wall of Names. So as to avoid any more eyes seeing us talk, we're moving somewhere more private. I'm not going to get this far just to risk someone overhearing what I'm about to tell you."

Joliryn points towards a more secure location.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Joliryn reigns in her aggravation and takes a deep breath before speaking, but keeps her tone icy to remind him the threat still stands.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

"You've been providing us with secrets for a while now. We already have a number of reports you wrote that would implicate you in anything that happens today. Think of how many relics we've helped you liberate and decide if right now is really the best time to be changing your mind."

If he still refuses Joliryn will signal Zurnzal to advance in a final attempt to get her information before letting the half-orc do what he needs to.

I'm still waiting to see how the sage responds.

322 has a wand of Cure Moderate with 10 charges, and healing spells, and each character starts with at least a potion of Cure Moderate, some of us have pots of Cure Serious. Is pooling for a second wand that much of a priority? Also, would it not potentially waste the small window we have to achieve our individual objective to reconvene the whole group and find a merchant? All but 2 of us also havee access to invisibility, either via spells or potions, The Slayer and 322 are the only ones without them, and even then, 322 has significant concealment and stealth bonuses.

Sounds fair to me.

Joliryn will approach the sage and say “The wall slithers like a snake through grass.” With a curt nod as she looks around the area.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

if she spots Zurnzal, not sure how easy he is to spot, hopefully real easy considering my roll, shell make a subtle "wait" signal.

Joliryn will slip through the crowd, trying to look too busy to get caught in any conversations about "Her latest big adventure." She momentarily considered telling one particularly invasive Human that she was with the Consortium just to get him to leave.

Soon enough she found herself at the Wall of Names and began casually talking to the Society members present, hoping to find Arminaldi Charthagnion.
