Kenath Corvilianus's page

9,9,8 currently. If we open recruitment we could easily play 10-11. I could bring an 11th level life shaman.

Unchained Rogue 5 gives you a skill unlock, which are pretty cool, and another point of sneak attack.

I usually ‘save’ 7-11s for 10-11, I have higher level PCs I could bring, but is Rallas still 7?

I'm just damned glad we had Rallas arround... Kobolds have NO business in a library, ever again! I'll take some steak if we're having some.

Thanks so much for running this, I had a blast.

busy tonight, take 10 and id everything, feel free to open spoilers. Are the non central mirrors important or special, or did they all shatter? I find it hilarious that the wizard wanted to trample them and the cavalier was a good pathfinder lol.

Kenath identifies everything and tells his allies, he also identifies a few choice books.

Actually, I couldn’t have done that, my swift action was used by the immediate action emergency force sphere, so not only is he fine, there is no goop in his square.

No reason to retcon it since things look a lot less dire now.

Kenath shifts outside of his bubbles, and conjures a sticky mess that attaches the red rager to the ground.

DC 22 reflex or entangled

Kenath heads the counsel of Rallas. I should have posted an alternative summons. Would it be possible for Kenath to have made an alternate summon at that time? I only ask because things look a little dire, and Kenath himself would have used emergency force sphere rather than take another full attack, so he won't be helping this round.

When the blades come for him again, this time he instantly raises a hemi-shaped dome that the blade harmlessly clatters against.

Kenath delays on his turn, waiting to see if his allies can turn the tide. Not that it matters much, from inside his bubble he won't be able to do much immediately. Can't summon through the wall of force, since it blocks line of effect. I'd need to shift out or dismiss it.

Rules question, if I understand correctly, if I use the shift ability of the conjuration school which acts as dimension door, my turn is instantly over and I can't take additional actions, correct?

Uh, how much do we care about this mirror? We're evacuating the books because the library won't be here, so if not...

knowledge (planes),heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 2 = 30
Special Attacks, Special Abilities please

Indeed. It would make sense to keep powerful arcane texts in reserve rather than out in the open.

knowledge (local): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21

erm... I feel like I’m forgetting something

knowledge(religion),heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 2 = 40

That is a collector's edition of The Manual of city Building, over there pad-locked. Perhaps you could do something about that Rallas

Damn I'm glad we brought a rogue...

Indeed, lets quickly get out of the way! Kenath agrees as they scurry to the other side. Before doing so, Kenath quickly looks for more traps that may befall them.

take 10 perception for a 35

That plus ants!

With the kobold's preclivities and our luck, we'll need those gloves

Kenath pulls and uses a wand on himself.
use magic device: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 2 = 21 healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
use magic device: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 = 25 healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

taking damage for previous round
bity damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2) = 7

damage from whirlwind on green last round: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 9 damage, from 50% more

Kenath rolls to remove the ants.

reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

The sole remaining elemental tries to buffet the green ants once more as a whirlwind.

fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Kenath moves swiftly away from the ants, he furthermore readies to run away another 30 feet should the ants close to him again.

His victorious elemental brings the green swarm over to its red colleague.

The red is out of whirlwind, since that elemental went back home

The green elementals try once more to help Pooka, while Kenath gives encouraging words.

That elemental is gone.... 17hp

The two remaining elementals try on the green swarm once more, as the remaining ants in the swarm fall towards the gnome.

damage from whirlwind: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Maybe 6 more will do it?

1 round is correct, so I think at the start of the air elementals next turn, the ants (that were flow overhead of Nugats, up to the ceiling), are going to fall down. I suggest you AoE that swarm and we'll deal with the next one when we can. The swarm with ants is as high up as it can go (assuming nothing looks too valuable, like a second floor of the library), with the ants for Nuggets to fireball. The other two elementals start where the other swarm was, although not with their 5' base sitting on books, waiting for next round to try the same action by reassuming whirlwind form for that round.

Kenath quickly scrambles for a solution. Theres always a summon for each situation, they drilled that into me! He quickly realizes that an air elemental, or a few of them, may be able to create a negative vortex vacuum, preserving the tome they were sent to save.

fortitude save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
small air elementals: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Kenath calls upon his training, summoning 3 elementals. He calls to them in whispy Auran ,” get the ants off the books, use your winds. Bring them above the gnome!”.

They quickly each assume a whirlwind form and move rapidly over the swarms, staying on the books until the ants are affected, and then using their rapid speed to hastily fly them above Nuggets.

with 100' speed, they could all affect both swarms. so I think each swarm requires 2 DC 14 reflex saves per elemental (so a total of 12 reflex saves). If they fail the first, they take 1d4+3 damage, if they fail that and the second, they are now flying ants, on this mother Fing plane. The visual of this is *much* better than the mechanics...

The whirlwind is always 5 feet wide at its base, but its height and width at the top vary from creature to creature (minimum 10 feet high). A whirlwind’s width at its peak is always equal to half of its height. The creature controls the exact height, but it must be at least 10 feet high.

Creatures one or more size categories smaller than the whirlwind might take damage when caught in the whirlwind (generally damage equal to the monster’s slam attack for a creature of its size) and may be lifted into the air. An affected creature must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 10 + half monster’s HD + the monster’s Strength modifier) when it comes into contact with the whirlwind or take damage as if it were hit by the whirlwind creature’s slam attack. It must also succeed on a second Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful winds, automatically taking the indicated damage each round. A creature that can fly is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape the whirlwind. The creature still takes damage but can leave if the save is successful.

So if the whirlwind is small, it would suck up tiny and smaller creatures, including our ants. The books are probably also tiny sized, so it wouldn't preclude them from being sucked up, but i would think that the smaller things would get sucked up first, and that the ants would be less dense than books, which are essentially the same density as wood (if you've ever moved media). If you're kosher with that interpretation, I'll grab a several small air elementals with summon monster IV and start with the hover action!

Would a small air elemental, with a 10-20' whirlwind, be able to hoover up those ants (and preferably not the books!)? We need to do something about those books...

" This is why you brought 2 wizards" Kenath says as he backs away from the swarms.

Would a small fire elemental do much to the ant swarm? I think our evoker is a much stronger play here.

If they swarm you draw them away from the books before we go tossing fireballs around

Kenath looks it over for traps . 35

well can't have pieces of our halfling just droping off... anyone have extradimensional storage? I regretably do not, I spent my recently acquired gold on some technological devices... Kenath says as he geastures to a small surgically inserted device on his head.

at least my perception is really good!

In my experience it is toxic, but not in a , you drop over sense, more that it sickens you...

is there a knowledge check to confirm that? I am confident that I can make it

Kenath again carefully looks things over take 10 for 35 perception, although I think only Rallas can read the books

We may just survive this quiet book recovery mission, assuming the throat slicer doesn't show up...

not quite supernatural, eyes of the eagle and a boon item account for a +5 competence and a plus 6 enhancement

“Yes, rare is the culture that considers that a friendly gesture, I suspect Nuggets may know of some deep gnomes that might count... ”

Kenath grabs the book and puts it in the bag.
will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

we had a bag of holding to collect books correct? Aren't we all helping with book collection?

I’ll let nuggets try the evokers Counterspell first :)

knowledge(planes),heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 2 = 32

I automatically identify, since my bonus is higher. Is it possible to roll initiative against it and try to counter spell using dispel magic? Did Rallas successfully disarm trap before the spell is cast? Is the image in the railing a creature with an associated knowledge check?

Following Rallas disarming the trap,” bloody kobolds... acid to the face will not ‘prove’ anyone worthy, I suspect even our instructors at the academae would have found it cruel” Kenath muses at Nuggats. “well, we best catalog this area before we press on...“

take 10 for a 29 linguistics

Kenath double checks Rallas keen work.

take 10 for 35 perception

Kenath agrees, " Lets keep searching, once we've cleared the complex, we can start doing our archivist responsibility"

On another note, that ghostly librarian wouldn’t be a haunt, would she?

Need the prepared one to translate....

I'll follow your lead Rallas, while looking out for traps, Kenath says as he prepares another casting to heightend his senses.

recast heightened awareness; take 10 for a 35 perception

Kenath examines the wand," Quite the find, a wand of shout about half charged... I'd imagine this most useful in your hands Nugget, but if you don't want it, I'll take it"

Kenath assume's Pooka's charge did the trick.

I suspect the lance is a Two-handed hafted weapon, so at +2 its 9 hardness and 30 hp. It'll take a 6th caster level mending for either Nuggats or I to fix it, should it become damaged, so both of us can fix it, but not until tomorrow. Since we're on a time crunch, if it gets broken, I suspect it'll be broken for the scenario, unless they give us scrolls. It does have a reasonable chance to not take damage, given its hardness, and broken is just -2 to attack, damage, and only crit on a nat 20, with 2x crit.

Yup, the grease spell

Good news gents, the libraries goods may be intact! These constructs guard against looting, well intentioned or not...

Assuming I don’t learn anything too alarming

Kenath relays what he learns to the group and adds,” Its too bad this library is closed and in a state of disrepair from the kobolds. I wonder how they got past this guardian. Maybe its falling down on the job?”

A slick of grease appears below the statue.

DC 22 ref or prone

Kenath tries to recall what this moving statue is.

knowledge (Arcana), heroism: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 18 + 2 = 38

“ We mostly visit libraries and museums when closed... although usually I do prepare for thrilling heroics”

Kenath pulls out a rod and uses it while he casts a spell, and folows that with another spell.

extended heroism, heightened awareness

Kenath follows Rallas lead and looks around.

perception, heroism: 1d20 + 25 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 25 + 2 = 39
