Hey mdt I played a healing shaman in one campaign it was pretty potent, even without healing hex!

Niles can you please mark this campaign as inactive in a couple of days?
A shame, although I do feel mythic rules are overly complex. I don't think I'd want to use them again.
Kaladin almost freaks out with the undead chasing him, he ducks one of their attacks and kind of tumbles behind Brud where sudden fire takes hold of him and in a pure rage he screams, "PULURA SMITES THEE!" The area is flooded with a blinding wave of holy energies which causes the undead to write in agony and clutch at their eyes! Their thin hideous wails reverberate horribly in the confined space.
Navi trying not to freak out has the presence of mind to fly over to were Kaladin is now standing and cure some of the minor wounds he received.
WTB diamond dust, and lots of it.
"Aiiee!", the arrival of the undead startles Kaladin badly. He stumbles southwards and grabs a handful of dirt from the floor, he rubs this together with a little spit to form a ball. Chanting strange words, the ball levitates from his outstretched hand with nacreous blue radiance. With one final word he flings the ball at the undead and a torrent of hail and ice pounds the ground where they stand!
Navi flies south with Kaladin, keen to make some distance between her and the undead!
There where 10x 1min intervals to divide between the party. The exact division wasn't specified, but some of us would have had 2mins.
Kaladin looks around startled by the voice, "Did ye hear that?" Noticing that that Vic is still hurt, Kaladin calls on Pulura for aid.
Navi lays a soothing hand on Kaladin's arm and several cuts and abrasions vanish.
Life Link:
Vic: +12 Konny: +1 Kaladin: - 13 Kaladin winces when the blades bite deeply into Vic, he feels them tearing through flesh even if Vic doesn't. Biting back a curse, he instead whispers a prayer to Pulura for healing. And almost as fast the the wicked blades parted her flesh, Pulura sealed it whole.
Navi lands on Kaladins shoulders and heals some of the wounds he transferred through the link.
Kaladin grins savagely at his companions, "Ach, once I heard tha best defense be a good offense. Pulura! Lets see if that be true!", before marching half way down the stairs and looking around.
Regardless, Kaladin knows the Babau need to be dealt with. He whispers a prayer which is answered by a sudden column of blinding blue white light, which causes the Babau to screech and cover their eyes!
Hey all, lets get this moving again! :)
"Roight, lets go!" says Kaladin as he calls down a minor blessing on Vic and walks down the stairs.
I'll be away on business Sat - Fri. I will have internet (not sure about on the plane, but for sure at the hotel) and I'll hope to post as normal but I might be a little slower than usual.
Kaladin nods, "Aye lass we'd betta stick ta'gether." He motions to the others and cautiously opens the door to the south.
Navi darts in and tries to see if there's anything of note, keeping particularly vigilant for any magical auras or planar foes.
In a loud whisper, Kaladin calls out to Konny, "Did ye sense enny thing like tha lass described? If not mebbe go clockwise starting from tha north?"
Kaladin breathes a deep sigh of relief when Navi reappears and warns the group, "We must push on, afore mi spell on ser Konny runs oot."
Kaladin nods slightly then looking at the Dwarf sadly, warns him, "The spell I used, t'wont last. Few minutes respite at best, best push on." Kaladin starts moving forwards but it's Navi who flutters forwards, saying, "You can't see so well in the gloom. I can." He nods sagely and begs her, "Careful lass, tha might be anything down ere..."
Kaladin shuffles forwards a bit and does something really strange. He pulls out out of his cloak what looks like an ostrich feather and he does a funny little dance muttering some ullulating chant. At culmination of which he gestures with the feather and shouts at the spirit, "Fate be fickle, an turn 'gainst thee!"
Kaladin asks, "I donnae suppos any o' ye have enny diamond dust?" He looks around but everyone's attention is on the frightful presences infront. "No? Meh neither! Gonna have ta wing it witha patchup job..." Sotto voce he murmurs, "Pulura! A little help if ye please..." A nimbus of yellowish light the color of corn and a gentle warmth, settles around Konny like a blanket. He feels the icy touch of undeath receding, at least for a while.
Navi hovers besides Kaladin, keeping watch.
Yeah I've been waiting for the others to post, hard to know what to do at the top of the round when you're at the bottom of the initiative list :(
Kaladin hisses, "Ack! Spectres! Beware..."
Kaladin mashes his hands over his ears as they descend into this preternatural place. Kaladin seems badly shaken and in a hoarse whisper he confides, "Tha spirits! They be talking ta meh, they be in sooo much pain. Yelling at meh ta go back! Or we die, horribly... " He then fervently prays, asking Pulura for aid! That done he casts detect magic and takes a good look around, alert for any danger.
Navi nods and stealthily flutters over to check out the cells, as usual flying towards the ceiling, in the gloom.
Spells Active:
Air Barrier - 1h Barkskin - 80 mins Magic Circle Against Evil - 80 mins Heightened Awareness - 80 mins
Feeling antsy, Kaladin mumbles, "We should get going afopre I change my mind an' join tha monestry..."
Kaladin is distraught to see Navi so upset, "I'm sorry lass. Ye were so brave ta venture inta tha lair 'o evil. Time fer us ta cleanse it!"
A few hours later, Kaladin stirs slightly. His eyes are moving rapidly behind his lids and a thin sheen of perspiration forms on his brow. His slumber has been invaded by unruly dreams. Suddenly he gasps and lurches up as if in terror. He opens his eyes and there is a moment of confusion, he looks around as if puzzled by his location. After a moment he sighs softly, "Oh. T'was just a dream..." He stretches for a moment, working the kinks out of his shoulders before saying, "Guess that's it fer sleep. The spirits cry out in torment, this place and I donnae agree. Still I can go a'ther round if yer game! Still I'shd finish mah job, gather round."
Once we're ready to go, Kaladin will cast Air Barrier, Barkskin, Magic Circle Against evil, Heightened Awareness (1h, and 3x 80 mins).
Kaladin watches the others read the book but he finds his eyelids to be incredibly heavy. Even the hard stone floor looks inviting... He kind of slumps down in the corner and starts snoring softly.
Both Kaladin and Navi examine the various items.
Kaladin studies the maps and frowns, "I canne say fer sure but somebody in camp will wanna see these roight?" Kaladin and Navi then search the room to the south (F20), again Kaladin casts detect magic and spends 3 rounds concentrating.
Assuming there are no obvious threats he will check the three doors that lead away. He's cautious to make sure somebody solid like Vic or Barundar is near by before opening any doors. Again he will cast detect magic in each room. "Konny these doors, they be safe, roight?" says Kaladin hoping Konny will check them first.
Kaladin realising that no, he hasn't searched this room, casts detect magic.
Following Kaladin's lead, Navi checks too. She having the advantage of always seeing magical auras.
Kaladin chews his lip, not looking forward to fighting the Vrock. He suggests, "Afore we fight yon beastie, mebbe chech tha undefended places?" He motions towards the various exits.
Kaladin looks grave upon hearing Vic's reminder but he shakes his head, "Nae Lady. I be well n truly spent. Cannae even hex ya, Navi has her wand. Nae use in combats mind."
Having caught his breath, Kaladin is still a little unsteady, but this is due to plain tiredness more than anything. A little unsure of discussing tactics, He ventures an opinion "Surely we cannae press on ta'day! We'd nae survive another battle like tha... But we be stuck tween a vrock and a hard place, aye? Nae more flyin fer us ta'day lest I misjudge, so we either fight yon wee Vrock or we try ta rest somewhere?"
Shaking softly, as often happens after a battle, Kaladin tries his best to reply, "I'll ... Ah I'll... Lady I need ta catch mi breath, but by tha grace o'th gods and yer axe I'll be ok." He continues shaking although his breathing starts to slow down, no longer ragged. He confeses, "T'was a close one and nae mistake. I cannae fight on taday, not lik that. Doubt I'll sleep tho, not after what I felt through tha link. Tha fury o tha one's god." He nudges Staunton's corpse with his foot, "T'was terrible ta behold and worse ta feel."
Forgot to say +1 WIS. I've updated the loot log, everyone has edit rights, please double check your characters. Niles could you please put the link in the campaign tab? Current total wealth:
Unclaimed Items 28,461.00
Ok so I've had a go at making a new loot spreadsheet, based on ones in use in other games. It's here. I'm not sure I worked out the cost for radiance and biggie correctly. perhaps you can help :) 1. Is radiance a +2 (legendary) longsword?
Thanks!
Hopefully con will feel less important these days... :)
Niles if you think it's going to be too much, there's plenty of other Hexes I could choose. For example there's the Ying to Misfortune's Yang: Fortune. Could be worse, I'm not planning on taking Cackle. While very strong mechanically, it totally doesn't fit my vision of how Kaladin behaves. He's a (masochistic although he doesn't see it that way) healer, not the wicked witch of the east. Another thing I'm not planning on doing is using the Hex Vulnerability spell. Beside the obvious applications to monsters, it has a (imo) too powerful synergy with healing hex.
FCB: Gain Chain of Perdition. Skills: Diplomacy, Kn:Religion, Perception, Spellcraft, Survival, UMD
Class Abilities (Hex): Misfortune Saves: +1 Reflex & Will
Kaladin directs everyone to huddle round as he presents his holy symbol and offers another prayer to Pulura!
He then Hexes's Brud! Who looks much better.
And Barundar, who has taken incredible damage that would have killed anyone else twice over. Despite all the healing the dwarf is still seriously wounded, but he's mobile at least.
Navi for her part heals Kaladin as the shaman takes care of the others, and succeeds in bringing back some of the colour to his skin. The sunken emaciated look has mostly gone, but he's still hurt.
At the end Kaladin wipes his brow and signs, "Got nae more in meh. I hope t'was ta last o teh fightin." He half smiles, half grimaces, "A forlorn hope, I fear." Both Navi and Kaladin examine the loot. Navi:
Kaladin:
Kaladin woozily staggers into the carnage filled room and nearly slips on the anti-paladins entrails. Feeling very much worse for wear he's reluctantly forced to let the soul link fade, and the magic fizzles out with a palpable tinge of regret.
He totters slightly and grabs hold of the wall and presents his holy symbol and whispers a single holy word. A ripple of blue light pulses out which soothes the abrasions and cures many of the smaller wounds you picked up.
Navi flutters over to Kaladins's side and tries to cure him, but only a few minor cuts are healed this time.
Oh my, that sounds terribly stressful Barundar. My thoughts will be with you.
Life Link:
Vic +12 Konny +5 Barundar +5 Kaladin -22 The savage tug on Kaladin's life force makes him gasp and fall to his knees. Tears streak down his face as he takes on a deathly pale waxy sunken appearance, as if consumed from within. With the last spark of mystic energies, he beseeaches Pulura to, "Heal her, please!"
Navi does what little she can to restore Kaladin's diminished life force.
Life Link:
Barundar +5HP Konny +5HP Victrix +12HP Kaladin -22HP Kaladin grits his teeth and tears roll down his cheeks as he feels something that he never thought could happen. Barundar, the most solid person he'd ever met, is staring into the abyss as his life force gutters like a candle in the wind. The shaman barely feels his own wounds as he bellows, "NO! YE CANNAE GIVE UP! DIG DEEP SER DWARF! IN PULURA'S NAME DIG DEEP!" A tiny corner of his mind registers, 'This be bad, this be real bad. Mebbe, mebbe it ends here? NO! Pulura I trust ye ta see us through!' Bluish radiance surrounds the hideous wounds Barundar has sustained, and while stabilized he's still hideously wounded. Still some of the spring comes back into his step...
Navi flutters to the Dwarf's side and casts a spell, curing some of the minor wounds, she marvels at the Dwarf's stoicism. With his entrails spilled out, he's too stubborn, too proud to die with work undone.
Knowing that Kaladin is nearly spent she urgently warns the others, "End HIM NOW!"
