Kala Steelheart's page

Somewhere in the outer planes Kala nods her approval.

Which sword?

Well, f!$#.

Looks like I might die.

Discretion is the better part of valor at times. We can always come back, and Kala will almost demand that we do. Can't leave evil in the world to fester.

Kala drops her shortsword upon hearing Zoli's warning and draws the magical longsword. Deciding that actually hitting the thing is of the highest priority, she doesn't put her full strength behind the blow. Though she thinks she's landed a blow, it swings harmlessly past the beast, due to its magical protections.

Longsword Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Longsword Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Misschance: 1d100 ⇒ 36

To continue to be completely off topic, I see Taldor as the civilization that conquered most of the known world and Cheliax as one who tried to be Taldor reborn, much like the Holy Roman Empire tried to recapture the power of Rome.

Kala takes point, wielding shortsword and shield. "Indeed, let's see what we find," she says.

I do:
Irish for Sylvan
Japanese for Tien (though admittedly it would be Mandarin)
Icelandic for Skald
Varisian should be Romani, but that isn't in Google Translate, so maybe Basque or Romanian?
Swahili for Polyglot
Maybe Polish or Lithuanian for Hallit?
Macedonian for Jistka perhaps?
Arabic/Persian(Farsi) for Kelish.
Egyptian for Osiriani, but since that isn't in Google Tranlate, I have no idea.
German or Hungarian for Shoanti
Hindi, Punjabi, Telugu, or Tamil (all languages of India) for Vudrani.

Draconic and Celestial are probably the two other languages that need a cognate.

Common would probably actually be Italian, with Chelish, Galtish, and other former holdings of Taldor being other modern romance languages like French, Portuguese, and Spanish. This is because Taldor is more or less the stand in for Rome.

"Hail and well met, brother," Kala says in her native Skald, striding forward to clasp forearms with the man.

Damn I noticed too late Jelani. Prod me in one of our shared games if a spot (even reserves) opens. Rolling for posterity.

3d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) + 5 = 13
3d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) + 5 = 11
3d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 4, 4) + 5 = 16
3d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) + 5 = 12

Having retrieved her weapons Kala seeks out Orik, drawing him away from the rest of the group while they set about the business that comes after battle. "I apologize that things ended for Lyrie the way they did," the warrior woman begins. "I'd rather we'd kept her alive, if only to fully honor our agreement. In my eyes, you have earned your freedom and redemption. I will speak for you should any seek to bar your path to freedom." Kala turns to walk away, then stops short, turns back to Orik and says, "If you seek a righteous path, the Crusaders of Mendev could use a man of your strength." With that, she returns to her friends.

Seeing Eugeni unsuccessfully try the bows and unstring them, Kala says,"Eugeni, please allow me try those. Perhaps I can draw them?" Once he's handed over the bows, Kala deftly strings and draws each in turn, slowly releasing the tension after pulling each one to full draw. She returns Nualia's bow to Eugeni after unstringing it, but keeps the other bow. "This one suits me nicely," she says.

I'll grab the quiver of arrows from Nualia too, but give 9 of them to Eugeni to replenish his stock to 20. Eugeni if you get to the point of being able to use a +4 bow, you can have this one at the same cost I'm paying now, plus any enchantment cost if I get in enchanted.

"If Lyrie lives, we should take her alive, as we promised Orik. He kept his word, so must we keep ours," Kala says. "As to the fiend, the world would be better to be rid of her."

"Things are not so black and white as that, Zoli," Kala says. She looks at the dwarf, and tears well in her eyes, though her helm, and the sweat of prolonged combat shields this fact from her companions. "He will be remembered by more than us. He will be remembered by all of Sandpoint. Baern will be remembered for his courage to shield us from death itself. He was a true friend." While Kala has many more things she could say, she realizes that this is still a place fraught with danger and not fully explored, so she let's the matter rest for the time being.

Kala begins to reclaim her weapons, scattered about the three rooms. When finished, she straps her shield onto her arm.

Also, Lyrie's at -6, and quite possibly still alive. Nualia might technically be alive as well, didn't do the math.

Kala drops her shortsword, shifts her longsword into her offhand, draws her throwing axe, and hurls it at Lyrie. The axe is thrown deftly over the shoulders of Morythine and Eugeni, and seems to be on a direct path to her exposed back, but is deflected at the last moment by some unseen force, causing it to graze over Lyrie's shoulder, leaving a light scratch but doing no real damage.

Throwing Axe Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Confirmation roll for my own amusement since I didn't hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Ugh. so close. I figured: If I get a pair of 20s, and at least 5s on my damage rolls, we win the game right here. In other news, no less than 6 of my weapons are lying on the ground somewhere in these rooms.

In Baern's honor, I think I'll try to finish her off with his Longhammer, assuming we can get Lyrie out of the bloody way.

Kala tries to kick Lyrie in the chest to shove her into the hole, but only connects with an image.
___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________

Bull Rush: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 4 = 11

Mory missed within 5 so that's another image gone, and I did too, so 1 left by my reckoning.

Does he smell any better?

Lyrie's in the mist so you have to roll misschance Mory

Kala stands up and carefully walks out of the magically slippery area, stopping just behind Morythine.

Acrobatics: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17

Like a baws

Kala's code (both as a cavalier of the order of the sword and as a follower of Iomedae) would certainly lead to her seeking a way to revive him if possible. She does regard him as weird but good hearted friend.

Unless Nualia has one lying around I don't see us being able to afford a 5k diamond for a raise dead, or 2k in diamond dust for two permanent neg level removals, but who knows, we might get some nice treasure from here.

Kala pops the stopper from her potion with her thumb, drinks it, and drops the bottle, its positive energy washing over her. She then leans down, scoops up her shortsword, and steps back into position. "Hold fast! We can win this battle!" she shouts.
______________________________________________________________________

Standard: Drink Potion Free: Drop vial Move: Pick up shortsword and 5 foot one square east.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6) + 3 = 15

Hooray for a good roll.

Having sustained heavy damage, Kala takes one swipe at Nualia before stepping into the mist, dropping her shortsword and pulling out the healing potion in her belt.

RIP Baern. Also, she really needs to run out of channels soon, oh, and if we could roll well occasionally.

Kala swings high with her longsword, a maneuver which is deftly blocked by Nualia, but it gives the warrior an opening to slash at the exposed flesh of the cleric's abdomen. Kala's blade finds purchase, though it's a rather light hit for her standards.

Wait no more! (Ok, a few minutes more.)

Kala steps forward, into Zoli's former spot, drawing her shortsword in the process, and takes two swings at the demonic woman, both aimed at her exposed midriff. Nualia, however reacts with great speed to avoid both attacks, twisting to deflect them with her chausses and breastplate, as if she expected to be attacked there and had already learned to compensate.

Shame on you dice! SHAME!

After Eugeni takes the proffered javelin, Kala draws the throwing axe at her belt and steps up behind Orik, ready to hurl it at whatever comes out of the inky blackness.
________________________________________________________________________

Move: Draw my throwing axe, and move behind Orik. Standard: Ready action to throw the axe at the first target I can see. I'll stay here readied until the darkness clears.

I didn't look last night because I assumed I'd still be panicked. Joke's on me. (A good joke in this case.)

As the yeth hound dies, the unnatural panic it inspired recedes, and Kala is left embarassed. Assessing the situation, Kala notes that the place where she dropped her greatsword is within some foul darkness, as is Eugeni's bow. She decides rearming both her and the priest of Erastil is her best course of action, and quickly sets about to doing so. First she pulls a pair of javelins from her shoulder harness, dropping them to the ground next to Eugeni, then she yanks free the last javelin and her longsword, holding the former out to the furred man to take, saying, "Use these til we get your bow back, Eugeni."

______________________________________________________________________

Move action: draw two javelins (two-weapon fighting allows me to draw two one handed or light weapons as a move action) Free action: Drop both javelins. Standard Action: Convert to move action: Draw longsword and third javelin, which Eugeni can take at his leisure.

I was thinking of frightened, oops. Though, I think it would be reasonable to say unopened doors in a place like this would be a source of fear.

Panicked just requires that you cower out of line of sight of whatever you fear, so I'll take a corner

Kala maintains her position. One watchful eye on Orik, ready to strike him with her Greatsword if he turns traitor.

"If we knew the trap was there and shoved him into it, we'd be responsible for it," Kala says. "However, he joined us and fell prey to a trap, the same way any of us could. We will, of course, rescue him if possible."

[b]"Baern, think you can bust up those statues with your hammer while Zoli works on the mechanism?"[/v] Kala asks.

"I have a bad feeling about this, but alright," Kala says. She then retrieves her shortsword and shield, sheathing the blade and tying the shield in place on her shoulder before once again drawing her greatsword.

"You're in front, Orik, let's go."

Orik stays up front, we can't allow him to be in the middle of the group near the squishies. Also, having seen Mory cast a spell, do we get any hints about his deity? While ILW requires only V and S components, Sanctuary (which was the spell spontaneously converted) requires a Divine Focus/Unholy Symbol.

"It is too dangerous to bring him with us." Kala says. "We should tie him up and we can decide what to do with him later."

"Execution of a surrendered prisoner without convening a Thing, or whatever a Varisian tribunal is called, would be no less than murder," Kala says. "I do agree that setting him free would be rash, though. We could tie him up, toss him in the stall that horse was in, and take him back with us when we leave, if that is acceptable, Zoli."

Mine's still in the process of sucking for 4 and 1/2 more hours.

That makes two of us. Fri-Tues 12 hour night shifts. Then 1 day off then, going to a convention next weekend to play PFS.

"We cannot kill one who has surrendered. We would be as bad as the monsters in this place," Kala says, gesturing toward the man. She fixes him with a stern glare as she continues, "You have, however injured our companion, and had you killed her, it would be your life. As she yet breathes, you will surrender your arms and any magical items you bear, draw us a map of this place as best you can, and then leave on foot. You will touch none of the horses you see, as Nightwind would likely kill you."

I have this feeling that I'm going to have to occasionally color spray the rest of the party and talk things out with people.

So my character's name is Dahlia, though that's not her birth name. She's from a northern Kellid tribe and was cast out for being an 'evil witch' since arcane magic is heavily frowned upon by the majority of Kellids. She ends up in Numeria with Snow, her white tiger companion.

She worships the Eldest (fey gods) as a pantheon, and is herself CN.

Kala sidesteps into the area that Baern just vacated. She drops her shortsword, then unstraps her shield, dropping it to the ground. She then draws her greatsword, and prepares to step back in front of the man.
______________________________________________________

5ft. step north for free. Free action: Drop my shortsword. Move action: Unstrap shield from my arm. (No AoO because I have cover). Free Action: Drop shield. Standard: Convert to move and draw my greatsword.

"It pains me, but you leave me no choice," Kala says, then slams her shield into the man's face and chest. Her follow up sword strike merely skids off his armor, however.

Shortsword Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

I'll have Technologist for the purpose of disable device only (from the AP trait), but no Knowledge (Engineering)

My companion is (a golarion equivalent of) a siberian tiger, also human (kellid). Finally I picked up the seeker archetype so I can be the party trapfinder/disarmer.

I have a Sylvan sorcerer in PFS, and while I'll eventually get it high level that will take at least a year or two. Also PFS will never get me to the point of having the most fun ability (in my mind) for her, turning my animal companion into a dragon via Form of the Dragon. So, I'm going to do a Sylvan sorcerer.

I'm looking at a Skald, an arcanist, or some sort divine full caster (cleric most likely) at the moment.

"Be you friend or foe?" Kala demands. "If you're working with these goblins and demon worshipers, I'll have no choice but to destroy your evil, in the name of Iomedae." As she mentions the name of her goddess, her hand grips the holy symbol she wears about her neck.

Do I notice any holy or unholy symbols on them?

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Know: Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

"Ready? 3... 2... 1..."

I'll open the door as soon as we're ready.

"Xam, Morythine looks pretty bad. Can you help him?" Kala asks.
