Kethaera Nightbreeze's page

Kethaera sings a tune to give the group a boost in morale.

Inspire courage anyone?

Sorry I haven't replied yet. Been busy the past few weeks.

Job hunting.

Getting ready for a yard sale.

Helping my folks move furniture (ouch my back!)

Things have pretty much settled down now so I can get back to posting.

Kethaera immediately sings a song to boost everyone's morale as soon as she finishes summoning a golden giant spider. The celestial spider attacks the other spider!

Giant celestial spider bite attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 1 = 20

Giant celestial spider bite damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Thinking quickly, Kethaera sings a quick melody. Suddenly, out of thin air, a golden giant spider appears right in front of the other spider!

Summoned a celestial giant spider!

Nope you didn't. Apparently I wasn't receiving updates until now. >.<

Probably a bug. :(

I thought about us heading to Redroof, but we can go to there next I guess.

Knowledge (Local): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Seeing if Kethaera knows anything else about the disappearances as well as the areas (Redroof and Old Kintargo) they took place in.

Kethaera nodded, although she was greatly concerned about those who had vanished, hoping they were alright.

"I don't think we should use torture as there are other ways to gathering information."

"I agree. We need to find out what is going on and figure out if the disappearances in both Old Kintargo and Redroof are connected. It's possible that Thrune is snatching people up to not only strike fear into the people of the city but also to make it look like as the Silver Ravens can't protect the innocent. We should investigate both areas and learn what we can. It wouldn't do us much good if we rush into this blindly."

Wait? That's bad? I want your hours!

Where I work they consider 30 hours full time and anything over 40 overtime. 15-25 hours is part time. Yeah....I'm not going into it. I work in a bookstore. Hopefully they'll give me more hours in the next few weeks (doubtful).

Kethaera giggles at Bazzle'a words.

"Now now, I'm not that high maintenance darling. And yes I was a singer, dancer, and artist prior to the Opera House being closed down."

The half elf then introduced herself, "I'm Kethaera Nightbreeze, artistic and faithful follower of Shelyn and devout believer in supporting civil rights to both tieflings and Skritt."

Nodding her head at Laria, Kethaera added, "Indeed. We should try and increase support from the public in order to show Thrune that we mean business."

Its okay. I'll go ahead and answer the question.

"Mostly because I'm into the arts especially the singing and acting parts."

Kethaera nods in agreement with Ederion, as she didn't see anyone tailing them either.

Kethaera smiled and nodded. "Indeed I am."

"Indeed. Things are going downhill for everyone. We need to continue to build up support."

Aid Another Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Kethaera began to help Ederion keep an eye out for trouble.

Thank y'all for the birthday wishes!

Kethaera let's them go by as well, feeling that she did a good job in 'putting the bullies in their place.'

Ah s+#% I forgot about that. Sure on that right now

Lol! It's cool. I actually almost forgot myself.

Ah sorry about that. I actually forgot to put that in. I'm pcgen and it's the latest alpha version at the moment. I have to see which source book it came from and I can put it back in if y'all want me to.

Oh GM could you put me back into being active into this campaign please? It keeps saying that I'm inactive.

Sorry y'all I didn't post yet. I had to help move some furniture into my sister's new apartment (up three flights of stairs!) and today is both my birthday and Mother's Day so I've been a bit busy. But here we go!

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Hearing the loud smack now thanks to her elven hearing was something she wished she hadn't heard. Of course she followed along and decided to help out.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

"I agree. While you may be trying to keep the peace, I haven't seen any evidence of that right now. And my friend here is most correct. Plus: slapping a woman! I bet everyone in this room is just downright offended and outraged by such chauvinist behavior! Why I bet your own comrades here are just shocked by your uncouth actions! This just simply harassment! Would you have slapped her if the Queen herself was standing next to you!? I think not!"

Kethaera hoped to appeal to both the patrons as well as the guards themselves. Even bullies have limits. Usually. Maybe she could force them to back down and leave.

"Nice to meet you," Kethaera says to the elf.

"I'm Kethaera. And I hope we're be able to do a lot of good together."

Kethaera smiled at both Aster and Ederion before Aster stepped away a bit.

"I wonder why Aster's leg drags like that. She shows so much strength to stand up to Thrune and his goons despite her disability."

Also I think we should utilize the books and soul tomes to increase our secrecy, security, and loyalty. It'll help us later on as we continue to work against Thrune.

She nodded in agreement with Tarnagius.

"Wonder if they were trying to find the missing mayor and learn something about Barzillai that he didn't want people finding out. Or maybe he's trying to play the different Hellknight orders against one another. We do need to work on gathering more support from the people."

She nodded in agreement with the tiefling, "Indeed. Stagnation especially in tactics is never a good thing. Better to be diverse so you can adapt to what life throws at you."

Kethaera greeted the Tian woman.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. And I look forward to working with you."

Nice to meet you!

Kethaera brushed lock of hair from her face as she listened to the town crier explained that the Order of the Torrent was disbanded.

"Well, that's a surprise. You would think the Chelish nobility would want to keep some more Hellknights around. Although I wonder...

She whispers in Tarnagius's ear, "I think we need to regain the people's trust in us, if we are to gain more supporters."

Go ahead. You're part of the group with Tarngius, Bazzle, and Rexandi.

Cool! BTW, I dropped the Savage Skald archetype and kept the other two as I don't think I could use the changes it makes.

Also, I took a potion of cure moderate wounds as the gift that we received at Rank 3....I think that was what it was.

Anyhow, I added some occupations to Kethaera's profile. I think y'all we get a kick out of the last one. ;)

Although I'm puzzled: do we have a large following of supporters?

I know you took down the Rebellion sheet for time restraints, but it did give me a clear indication of how well (or how awful! Pray that doesn't happen!) we were doing.

** spoiler omitted **

We're at rank 4.

Awesome. Alright, I think that does it. I'll be posting the updated version of my character sheet real soon. Also, do you mind if I start posting in the Gameplay?

** spoiler omitted **

Then you're welcome back, Kethaera. Skritt Squad is still going strong. I'll put you back on Demagogue duty, but I've taken control of the rebellion sheet in the interest of moving things along faster.
When you make your character, you'll be level 4. Take the average money the level suggests for a PC, but please subtract 1000gp from it. This gp is still in-game in the rebellion's coffers, and I'm pretty sure you were the one who put it there.

The two new players are just getting introduced. They're from my Rise of the Runelords game that has been running since before our Hell's Rebels game. Very kind and loyal players.

Sure thing! I'm in the midst of redesigning Kethaera as we speak. Also, what is our Rebellion rank at the moment? Just need that and I'm done.

And also hello Aster! Nice to meet you!

Yeah as a fellow sufferer (not of ADHD though, I've got agoraphobia and generalized anxiety), it can be very difficult to notice things yourself. Generally it's been my parents who have noticed and tried to help me. I totally understand where you're coming from though and I'm glad you're doing better.

In terms of returning, we could squeeze one more in, and a bard wouldn't be a bad idea at all. You could rework Kethaera if you like. Either a spellcaster bard or a damage bard would work well, and perform sing and dance are both in extremely dire need. It seems like Hell's Rebels just assumes that there's a bard in the game. Healing is very well covered thanks to Rexandi and Aster, and knowledges/languages are really well covered throughout.
That being said, how often do you believe you could post? I'm hoping for about 3 posts/week minimum. Is that something you think could be done?

I'd love to say that you missed a ton, but honestly you really didn't. We had a huge time sink in the lower parts of the fantasmagorium, where everyone fought waves and waves of inquisitors and Nox. I DMPCed you during that time. Your inspire courage ability was very useful. We've only just left that dungeon and started act 2, Turn of the Torrent.

Oh and side note: I'm actually a dude ^^ I took the female tiefling picture because I wanted to go with something infernal to fit the Hell part of Hell's Rebels, and I didn't want to be an ugly fiend...

Lol! Sorry about that. But I appreciate everyone understanding what I went through.

And GM I appreciate you DMPCing me. And yes, I think I'll redesigned Kethaera. I'll probably make her a mixture of the two, but she's mainly the party's silver tongue (and resident flirt ;P ). She'll focus on Diplomacy, Perform, and maybe some summoning spells to help us out of jams especially combat (Celestial rat swarms are great!).

For the two new players, I wish to say hi!

A short background on my character: Kethaera is a bard and is aspiring priestess of Shelyn, who joins the newly rebuilt Silver Ravens to help the downtrodden and those in need. She is very open minded and tolerant of others, and she strongly believes that love will conquer evil. She detests discrimination against tieflings and ratfolk (also called Skritts). Wererats might appear to be a stretch for her, but it isn't. She judges people based on their actions not their race or gender.

Also, she is notoriously flirtatious but well, you can read her background for more. ;)

And yeah, I can probably post about 3 posts/week, maybe more. Just depends on my schedule, but evenings are usually best for me.

Oh and this for the GM's eyes only please!

I take it we still have the Skritt Squad, correct?

Kethaera uses her wand to heal Bazzle, while still maintaining her inspire courage song.

Wand of Cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Kethara quickly sang a soft melody to boost the morale of her friends.

Inspire courage.

Sorry y'all I've been absent (again! Man, I'm getting tired of this!), but I got swamped at work, plus on top of yardwork, my dad's asthma acting up (really badly I'm afraid), and looking for another job, I've been very very busy! I apologize for being absent and not giving a heads up. I hope y'all can forgive me.

"So much for entering here quietly. Luckily, we're disguised as Asmodean mercenaries."

Kethaera casts a healing spell from her wand hoping to save the tiefling from death.

Cure Serious Wounds Wand: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 6, 3) + 3 = 13

"Let's also remember that we're supposed to act like we're in the employ of Barzillai and the Asmodean church. Let's just hope we find something," Kethaera said, reminding everyone to be careful.

"Well at least we're disguised."

Im guessing we've disguised ourselves as mercs working for the Asmodeans.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Looking around, Kethaera is a bit surprised by the former Fantasmagorium's decor...or more accurately lack of decor.

"Someone really needed to work on their interior designing," she sarcastically said.

Knowledge (history): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Seeing what Kethaera might know.

Kethaera smiled and hugged Rexus.

"See I knew you could do it! And now we know a great deal about the Silver Ravens. We still need to figure out about this Song of Silver. A shame we don't have the notes I would have loved to have sung it!"

Kethaera then asked what they should do first. She suggested that they go to Hocum's Fantasmogorium first and that it would be best if Rexus came with them because it was his right to go being that he is probably the last surviving member of the Sacred Order of Archivists.

Hope everything turns out okay for you gm! You're in my thoughts and prayers!

Present here as well.

I think the reason things went silent is due to tax time and Easter.

I'm still here y'all. Been busy with work and finishing up my taxes. Should be back to normal posting this Monday.

"I like that plan. I want to try and keep the bloodshed down as much as possible, but I understand that if things go south very quickly, I fully understand, but I will do what I can to keep your brother alive."

"I believe we should work out something. But with you being his brother, it might take some brotherly love to help him out. I can help you there, if you don't mind me lending a hand and my silver tongue," she says with a smile.

"But I believe that if we can get the Talons to reform, it might go a long way in bolstering our forces as well as to sending a message that we aren't just a band of bloodthirsty rebels."

"What if we convinced your brother and the other Talons to turn over a new leaf? Also what if we help you and your brother in making amends with each other? I hate see a family tearing itself apart. Would you be open in reconnecting with your brother? Would that sort of justice be suitable: your brother and his friends making amends and joining us?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Kethaera rolled her eyes.

"Oh for crying out loud!"

She did her best to show who she really was.

Yes she has revealed herself!

"This should give you an answer. Also we aren't a gang, but people who want to help our friends and loved ones and save our city from a madman. And we can't do it alone. We're also cleaning up the streets, hoping to make it safer for the people of this city. If the Talons can be persuaded to join us and give up their banditry ways, that means less bloodshed. I prefer not to paint my hometown red."

"Oh we aren't members of the Dottari, the Hellknights, or the CCG that's for sure. And do you really think they would have someone who was able to inspire an entire mob on the day Barzillai announced another stupid edict be a member of their groups," she said, dropping a hint about who she was.

"We were hoping you might have some info on the Talons and if you knew any way we could get them to join us or stay out of our way. And oh, we're not a rival gang by the way. We're the Silver Ravens."

"That depends on keeping secrets. Don't get me wrong. I find it amiable that you're willing to protect someone even though they are doing something that you don't like. Very amiable indeed."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Kethaera clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth before saying, "Really? Well I'm afraid that you're not quite telling the truth. You pretty much said Um instead uh, which is often followed by a long pause. A common tactic used by people who want to put a spin on their stories. Also you kept gesturing with both hands. Most people try to gesture with one hand when speaking. Your gesturing with both hands is to draw attention away from you and distract your audience. And you kept nodding in order to get us to agree with you. These are tells that people who are lying give. So I'm guessing you know someone who is in the Talons. A friend? A sibling? A lover? Someone important I'm guessing, yes?"

I actually did not make that stuff up. These are common tells that people like the FBI look for during court cases to see if a suspect or witness is lying.

Kethaera wasn't quite convinced.

"So you must have had some dealings or do you know someone who is a member of the Talons?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Local: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Ow! :(

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Kethaera thought about any local history involving the Talons, while also seeing if the tengu shopkeeper was hiding anything involving his knowledge of the Talons.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Kethaera tried to see if the tengu knew anything else about the River Talons.

"Anything else you can tell us about the Talons?"

She also looked at the buckler, wondering if she should purchase it.

Lol! Good Fairy Oddparnets reference. I've been pretty busy with work but I'll try and see if I can get a post up.

Spellcraft for the breastplate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Kethaera asked the tengu shopkeeper about the Talons, wondering if he knew anything about them and if he did could he help them in dealing with the Talons.

Kethaera also asked about the breastplate armor and the dragon shield thinking that Tarnagius could use them.

That is it Tarnagius thinks he can use them. I'm not sure what armors Pylos can use. light right?

So I'm planning on starting the new day very soon. Is your plan to go see the Tengu at the War Cage and ask him for info about the Talons?

Yep. That is correct. But at the moment I'm heading off to bed now. Have to open at work tomorrow.

"That should work. We will have to create some disguises though, just to be on the safe side though."

"Indeed. That seems to be the best route to take," the diva said in agreement.
