Kaldane Starlight's page

I am posting this to all of my games, so apologies if you see this multiple times:

Unfortunately, I have some bad news.

A combination of work-related stuff has lead to me having to take some time off from the forums. I am, in all honesty, going to need to be gone for several months, as I am going to be travelling for extended periods of time (weeks or more) and I'll likely not have good access to the internet.

As I am not someone who would want to have you all sit and wait for me here, I am going to be withdrawing/closing all of my open forum games.

I want to thank everyone who I have had the pleasure to game with over the last couple of years here, as I have immensely enjoyed my time on the forums, and hopefully, once my work stabilizes, I will be able to rejoin the community.

Thank you again for your time and energy, and I am sorry that I won't be able to keep things moving forward in any of the games that I am running.

-----------

So as an add-on to the above message, I know that I am the primary healer for the group and that we're likely near the end of the module. Please feel free to bot me as needed until we're finished, as I don't want to have you all die because of my work. As far as the cert for this module goes, I'm perfectly fine with not getting it, or you can feel free to email it to me.

Again, I apologize about this situation. It's a surprisingly crazy time in my life right now.

"I can attempt to remove it, but nothing is certain. Also, I'll need to be able to see you, so you'll need to come to me."

Kaldane will ready a Dispel Magic for when Nox moves next to him.

Caster Level check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

Yay! We've used up all the enemy wishes! =,(

One thing at a time. We need to stop the nemhains first.

Since Hendric asked in chat, I'll go with that.

Seeing that the little girls are throwing nightmare fuel, Kaldane assesses the situation and takes a look at his allies to see who the easiest to hit is. Nodding to himself, he moves over and touches Hendric, casting Deathward. Not sure if I would provoke from the girl or not, but if so, go ahead.

Assuming that Hendric is still conscious after GM Xavier's ruling, I will do the following:

Kaldane targets Red and Purple with Banishment Since you can see my character sheet Xavier, do you think I have anything that would qualify as anathema to them? If so, I would present it during the casting to increase the DC by 2/item. If not, the DC is 25

If Hendric is still down:

Kaldane will move up to Hendric's body and cast Breath of Life.

Breath of Life: 5d8 + 15 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 3, 7) + 15 = 33

[ooc]Either way, Kaldane would move up, to prevent himself from being stuck behind the wall again.

I have a plan. A good plan.

Okay, I am all caught up now, and prepared to take my next turn. Sorry about the delay folks, but it looks like we soldiered on pretty well!

Here is my vote for mission assignments:
Front door: The Axe-Fixers seem like the best fit for where to place them (i.e. the others don't really seem to fit all that well);

Side Entrance: Scroll-Seekers. If memory serves, they likely have arcana handed, and that should help alot.

Shipping Entrance: That should be us.

Sewers: Finally, the sewers should be the Kernaug group.

All of those seem like the salient points Sir Hendric.

Kaldane has no questions for the undead abomination, and he is ready to proceed to someplace not a tomb!

"It's more accurate to say that for whatever reason, she decided to pit the Aspis Consortum and the Pathfinder Society against each other in the hopes of seeing both destroyed, and she used you to finance the attempt. I don't know who has greater cause to be outraged, but I say that we combine our outrage and vent it on her."

Diplomancy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

"Are you drunk?" says Kaldane before he even realizes that he has spoken.

Kaldane is rather subdued during the trip, considering the information that the group had learned in short order.

What, really, was Suliji's end game? How did she think that burning people in two of the largest organizations in the inner sea would benefit her?

Normally, I would change my wandering spirit, but I feel like we're going to need knowledges, so I'll leave things as they are.

"While you investigate the lock Nox, I'll be casting some spells."

I believe that I am casting 2 GMW per previous requests. Suli, did you need one as well? I'll also be giving everyone in the group Barkskin, unless anyone has a +5 enhancement bonus to natural armor. Finally, I'll cast Freedom of Movement on myself, and an extended (from my rod) Keen Edge on my sword, plus anything that people might want that is at least 10 minutes/level in duration that I have. Feel free to take a look at my spell list.

I'm gonna hold off on spending any money on Kaldane for now.

Okay, I'm back now and will be starting the slog towards reading through the gameplay (80 something posts? really? wow!)

Also, welcome Sulii!

It'll probably take me a day or so to read through the backlog so that I can be caught up, unless someone wants to TL:DR it for me and I can read it later.

Posting this to all my games, so sorry if you see it multiple times:

This week both my office and I personally are going to be moving. It's been crazy busy and I am not going to be able to post until Monday at the earliest. Please bot me if I am in your game, and if you are in a game I am running, I will get a post up as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

Kaldane is going to keep flying out until he can no longer see or hear the oozegod, at which point I'll deal with the fear using the magics.

Kaldane flees up and out of the shaft.

Sorry, I thought I had made it clear. My intent was that if I wasn't able to identify the creature using knowledge planes, I wasn't going to cast banishment on it, and was instead setting the alternate to cast Prayer..

If I couldn't identify it as an outsider, than I was going to cast Prayer.

I hadn't heard of it either, until I was looking at spells for level 15.

Let's see if it's an outsider! (Knowledge: Planes): 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (8) + 29 = 37

If it is an outsider:

"Sure, I can give it a shot."

Kaldane will then cast Banishment.

If I can't identify it as such:

"I don't believe it would be effected by such magic." said Kaldane, who would then cast Prayer on the fight.

In case it has SR and I cast Prayer:

SR/Banishment Caster Level check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Also, taking bonus to AC and Attack Rolls from Blessing of Fervor. Don't forget that I have given everyone Blessing of Fervor, Particulate Form, and potentionally Prayer.

Kaldane will take the AC and Attack bonuses from Blessing of Fervor.

Kaldane casts Particulate Form on everyone in the group except for Geatan, then flies down to offer Geatan a lift.

"You want a ride out of here?"

Note that Particular Form gives everyone Fast Healing 3 at my caster level.

Wow, that is some BBC code shenanigans GM Xavier. Well played!

As a quick aside, I do have a necklace of adaptation, so I'm not sure if that would factor into the stench thing.

Kaldane will cast Blessing of Fervor, then fly out of the stench.

"I can do that Hendric." says Kaldane as he uses the scroll on the horse. I assume you already have trained him in the Airwalk trick?

"What do you mean?"

"I'm fine, but thank you for asking."

Sorry about lack of posts; Had a weird thing pop up.

Kaldane will take a move action to resituate his equipment, then step and cast Heal on Tortuga. That should clear the stun, plus a lot of other conditions and 150 hp.

The sound of wings flapping fills the air as Kaldane takes to the skies, flying over Hendric to retrieve his armaments. He then uses his spell component pouch to cast Quickened Dispel Magic, attempting to get rid of the darkness.

I am provoking, but I can see in the dark.

Caster Level: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

"Okay, I'll come to you."

Kaldane's frame seems to sag under sime invisible weight, and then he straightens himself and says "I am more or less me. I will need my equipment back."

Taking total defense for the first round.

I did.

"Yes."

Kaldane takes to research with a relish he hasn't felt since his initiate days before his confirmation. It's interesting piecing the puzzle together, but he is sure that when the spirit leaves him, most of his zest for learning will go as well.

Kaldane makes detailed translated notes of what he discovered at Hendric's suggestion, which he then hands to Hendric.

"I agree with Nox. I think we can learn a great deal more about the current situation, but we should be prepared in case it backfires. This likely means we should only have one or two people communicate with them, and will likely mean that I should be one of them."

As he talks, Kaldane unbuckles both his sword belt and ties his spell component pouch to it. He then hands them to Hendric.

"This won't make me completely a lack of a threat, but it will limit my options if it comes to that."

Here is my roll.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Knowledge (Plates): 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (17) + 29 = 46

As the group is not currently under attack, Kaldane will share all he knows about Owbs, the creatures in the columns.

I do indeed share info.

Kaldane will use both wands charges on Geatan, taking 6 rounds.

Kaldane uses his spirit ability to increase his Knowledge of Engineering as he ponders the pipe.

Engineering: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (2) + 25 = 27 Doh!

Heal takes care of exhaustion, so Nox isn't exhausted anymore.

"I have it." says Kaldane as he begins casting restorative magic on the two companions.

Kaldane will cast a pair of Lesser Restorations each on Hendric and Geatan.

It's why I have pretty much max ranks in fly; it's worth noting, however, that most fly speeds come with at least some sort of bonus to the check: winged flight has a bonus/penalty based on maneuverability, and most flight spells get a bonus equal to the caster level of the spell.

"Yes, yes, and no."

Kaldane will cast Break Enchantment.

Caster Level check (vs. DC 11+Caster Level of the effect: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Assuming that works:

Kaldane then casts Heal on Nox.

At Hendric's statement, Kaldane will cast Blessing of Fervor then fly up top. No benefit for me this round.

Kaldane will move into the room and cast Bless.

Kaldane will move up and cast Prayer on all combatants.

Let me know if I need to roll for SR.

Kaldane again concentrates on his spell, focusing on the area of the mist.

All I'm trying to find out is if the mist is magical or not. I don't care, and can't identify, what it specifically is.

Kaldane will cast Detect Magic in the direction of the mist in an attempt to determine if it is natural or supernatural.

I'm going to have to wait at least 2 rounds in order to sort out auras, cause there's currently no way for me to move and cast it without getting one or more of my allies, all of whom (presumably) are carrying magical items).

Seeing Nox come staggering out of the mist, Kaldane moves over to him and Heals him.

I have a necklace of adaptation, so I should be fine vis-à-vis the stench.

I'm fine with you botting me if necessary. TBH, I completely forgot that I had that spell on my spell list, so bully for seeing it Hendric!

Knowledge (Planes) to ID the first creature: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (3) + 29 = 32
Knowledge (Planes) to ID the second creature: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (19) + 29 = 48

"Found a couple of magic items in here, but I don't know what they do." says Kaldane.

Even though I'm pretty sure what they are.

Once he enters the Processing Laboratory, Kaldane will take a different tact for investigating: he will fly up to the ceiling to see if there is something he can learn there.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Kaldane will move into the storage room to take a look at what was truly being stored here, mainly by carefully opening crates.
