Each hit lands with the weight of generations, battering the nabasu, breaking through its defenses, inflicting wound upon wound upon the vile creature.</p>
<p>Positioning herself, Myrna draws the bowstring back. Her focus narrows to the space between her and the demon, every other distraction fading away into the background of the cursed silence. The moment stretches, taut as the string in her fingers, before she releases the arrow. It flies, true and swift. The arrow pierces the wounded nabasu, the impact unannounced in this silent world but unmistakable in its consequence. The creature reels from the strike, the surprise and pain evident even in its monstrous visage.</p>
<p>The heroes find themselves encircled by the menacing nabasu, the heavy silence amplifying the tension of the looming threat. The demons, confident in their unholy abilities, unleash their death-stealing gaze, aiming to drain the very life from their foes and turn the tide of battle decisively in their favor. The air seems to thicken with the weight of impending doom as negative energy emanates from their malevolent glowing eyes.</p>
<p>Simultaneously, several nabasu attempt to weave a complex web of magic, aiming to immobilize Unafe with a <i>mass hold person</i> spell. The spell, a tool of control and subjugation, seeks to render her helpless. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, Hinagiku hovers above the rest, poised and resolute. Her unique training allows her to fight effectively with her eyes closed, a technique that not only enhances her other senses but also renders her immune to the life-draining gaze of the nabasu.</p>
<p>Feeling the shift in air and sensing the precise location of her adversaries through the ley, Hinagiku becomes a whirlwind of motion. She lashes out at the demons with a series of precise, forceful strikes, her punches and kicks landing with devastating impact. Her first blow strikes true against the first nabasu, the force of her punch leaving the demon reeling, critically injured from her powerful, guided assault. She then turns her attention to the next nabasu, delivering two rapid, successive kicks that leave the demon staggered and on the verge of collapse, its form barely holding together after the onslaught.</p>
<p>Finally, Hinagiku targets the last nabasu, her attack a measured blow. The nabasu, caught off guard by the ferocity and effectiveness of Hinagiku's blind fighting style, reassess their prey with newfound wariness. </p>

<p>Ehren, ever watchful, is the first to notice the ominous presence that descends upon them—a nabasu. The demon's lanky form cuts a sinister silhouette against the sky, its bat-like wings unfurling. Its mouth, a grotesque maw bristling with sharp fangs, promises death and despair.</p>
<p>Before Ehren can react, a chilling hush envelops the area. A supernatural silence, thick and impenetrable, falls upon them, stealing away their voices and leaving them isolated in their own thoughts. Ehren realizes he cannot speak, trapped inside an invisible barrier that mutes all sound.</p>

<p>The effects of the healing are not immediate, but a sense of relief begins to spread among the crusaders. Their labored breaths become steadier, the pallor of illness slowly recedes from their faces, and their eyes sparkle with renewed vitality. They look at one another, their expressions awed as the weight of their afflictions lifts, replaced by a rejuvenating calm.</p>
<p>Valaria, still recovering from the effects of her recent ordeal and the profound healing she received from Unafe, looks up at Li'an with reluctance in her eyes. Now bolstered by Unafe's ancestral magic, she feels a flicker of her old strength returning, yet the wisdom of Li'an's words is not lost on her.</p>
<p><b>"You're right, Li'an,"</b> she responds, her voice more steady. <b>"I've been brought back from the brink, thanks to Unafe's rites, but I know I'm not yet fit to fight. If I'm to be of any use to you all, I need to be at my best."</b></p>Time passes: 14 minutes

<p>The Hellfire Squadron, battered and wearied from their ordeal, nod in agreement with Myrna's assessment. Each member, despite the afflictions gnawing at their strength, prepares for the arduous journey ahead.</p>
<p>Braith, the Sarkorian tiefling fighter, attempts to flash her usual defiant grin, though it's marred by the pallor of her burning fever. <b>"Some stupid fungus won't keep me down,"</b> she declares, pushing herself upright with a groan. Her bravado is as much for her own benefit as it is for her comrades.</p>

Her fists, guided by the ancient spirits of her lineage, find their mark again and again, each strike a blow for vengeance. The behemoth before her, a fungal monstrosity, reels under her assault.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, with measured breaths, Li'an begins her incantation, her voice steady amidst the cacophony of battle, her hands tracing the arcane symbols necessary to unravel the malignant spell. As she completes the spell, a wave of purifying energy emanates from her, invisible but palpable, a silent tide washing over the miasma of disease and decay. The air around the battlefield shimmers as if touched by an unseen hand, the oppressive weight of the plague storm faltering under the strength of Li'an's dispelling magic.</p>
<p>Staying calm, knowing that being outnumbered does not mean being at a disadvantage, Hinagiku graciously moves between the mandibles and pincers, avoiding as she strikes with fist, elbow and knee at her foe. The warmonger wasp stands no chance against such focused fury. With a final, decisive blow, Hinagiku brings the creature down from the sky, its mechanical body crashing to the earth with a resounding thud, a hair's breadth away from the fungoid salamander lurking below. The remaining wasp, undeterred, lunges at Hinagiku with its venomous stinger, a move meant to end the duel in its favor. But Hinagiku, unfathomably quick, evades the deadly strikes.</p>
<p>The fungal queen, amidst the chaos and violence of the battlefield, finds a moment of cruel amusement. Her laugh echoes over the clamor of combat. <b>"Fools!"</b> she cries. <b>"Witness the despair seeded by the great Cyth V'sug himself!"</b> </p>
<p>Then, with an ostentatious flourish, the Fungus Queen raises her scythe, a sinister weapon imbued with the corrupt essence of her abyssal patron. The air around the weapon vibrates with malignant energy, a force of decay and death. As she channels the vile power of Cyth V'sug, waves of negative energy ripple outward, a tide of desolation seeking to drown the spirits of the valiant warriors before her.</p>
<p>The Hellfire Squadron, though nauseated, battered and besieged by the forces of corruption, stands firm against this new onslaught. Their resolve, tempered in the fires of countless battles, holds strong against the wave of despair. A second later, the fungus queen takes a step back, retreating into the welcoming arms of the fungal patch that sprawls like a corrupt garden at her feet. The ground itself seems to reach up, eager to embrace its mistress, as she becomes one with the fungus. With a final, mocking glance, she vanishes from sight.</p>

<p>From within the concealing cloud, they hear the chaos unfold: the ground shakes violently, sending a clear signal of a new, formidable threat joining the fray. Despite the visual barrier, the unmistakable sound of destruction, of soil and stone being torn asunder, reaches their ears.</p>
<p>The air is filled with the cries of the Hellfire Squadron, a cacophony of pain and battle fervor. Amidst the din, they discern the distinct sounds of combat—the clashing of weapons, the roars of some monstrous entity, and the distressing screams of their comrades as they engage with an unseen adversary.</p>
<p>Amidst this pandemonium, they hear the fungus queen call out, <b>"Ah, the guardian of the Green, the so-called Winter Lord,"</b> she hisses with venomous respect. <b>"Your lands will rot, your legacy will wither, and all that you protect will crumble into the glorious decay ordained by Cyth-V'sug!"</b></p>

Above her, Hinagiku's focus is laser-sharp as she closes the distance between herself and the wasp. The creature, a looming threat above, remains tantalizingly just beyond reach. </p>
<p>As the two remaining wasps in the air set their sights on Hinagiku, they converge with menacing precision, their stingers poised to deliver their venomous strike. However, Hinagiku, with her heightened reflexes and acute sense of her surroundings, remains undaunted. With a fluid, almost serene movement, she dodges the dual assault in mid-air, making the wasps' deadly stingers meet nothing at all.</p>
<p>As the Hellfire Squadron begins to contend with the aerial threat of the remaining wasps, an unexpected danger emerges from the south. A seemingly benign mound of mushrooms undergoes a grotesque transformation, revealing a malevolent creature of decay and disease. The upper body of a pale green woman, hauntingly beautiful yet unmistakably deadly, rises from the fungal growth, while her lower half remains an amorphous, pulsating mass of fungus.</p>
<p><b>"I am a herald of Cyth-V'sug, the rot that consumes, the decay that liberates,"</b> she intones, her voice a chilling mix of seduction and malice. <b>"You dared to challenge the dark, and so I have come. Your flesh will feed the spores, and your despair will blossom into beautiful, eternal corruption."</b></p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>Brandishing a scimitar, she utters an incantation. As she completes her spell, a hideous gray cloud materializes, enveloping the area in a noxious mist. This cloud, far more sinister than any natural fog, crackles with sickly green lightning, an ominous herald of the poison it carries.</p>
<p>The Crusaders, caught unawares by this new foe, find themselves engulfed in the toxic cloud. They start to cough violently, their bodies quickly overtaken by a dreadful illness. Sweat beads on their brows as feverish shivers run through them, the debilitating effects of the spell sapping their strength and clouding their focus.</p>

<p>Hinagiku ascends toward the closest warmonger wasp, her intent clear. Though the enemy remains just out of reach, her proximity puts her in an advantageous position for an impending confrontation. </p>
<p>Below, Ehren advances, his movements more about purpose than finesse, delivering a series of punishing blows to the incapacitated wasp. Moments later, Myrna's hammer, an extension of her will, crashes down upon the warmonger wasp. The impact is thunderous, the force of her attack leaving no room for survival. The wasp crumples under the might of her blow.</p>
<p>Nearby, Valaria, feeling the comforting presence of Beatrix's divine shield wrapping around her, nods in appreciation, understanding the gravity of the situation and the protection afforded to her. <b>"Thank you, Beatrix. I'll do my best to stay out of harm's way,"</b> she responds, her tone grateful.</p>
<p>Emboldened by Myrna's battle hymn, the Hellfire Squadron, their spirits ignited by the call to arms, converge on the second wasp that Unafe has brought to the ground. As they advance, ethereal images of wings unfurl behind them, and halos of blazing wrath crown their heads, manifestations of the Silver Crane's power. Their weapons are aglow with holy energy, Myrna's magic transforming ordinary steel into instruments of divine retribution.</p>
<p>The wasp, already reeling from Unafe's initial assault, finds itself overwhelmed by the concerted attack of the squadron. The holy energy that infuses their weapons sears through its corrupted form, leaving it teetering on the brink of destruction. </p>
<p>But then, Peace-Amidst-Pain, the newborn earth elemental, emerges from the ground with a tremor. The sight is alarming – their normally solid, stoic form is marred by injury, and an unsettling growth of mushrooms sprouts from their rocky flesh, a clear sign of an unnatural affliction.</p>
<p>With a voice that rumbles like shifting earth, they speak, confusion and pain evident in their tone. <b>"በታች አንድ ተፈጥሮ አግኝቻለሁ፣ የእብሪት እና ክፉአነት ምስል ያለው እንስሳ፣ በሰፊና አሞሌ ሙከራ የተከፈተ አፍ ያለው። ምድርን እንደ ኤሌመንታል እንደሚሸከም ነበር፣ ነገር ግን ገላጭ እንደሆነ ተቀይሮአል፣ በእነዚህ ተሸፍኖ ነበር።"</b> They gesture to the mushrooms consuming their form. <b>"እሱ ምን እንደሆነ አላስተውልም። ከድንጋይ ወይም እንቅልፍ አይደለም፣ ነገር ግን ከፈንገል እና ክፉአነት ነው።"</b></p>

<p>Ehren's spell, a beacon of searing light, engulfs the warmonger wasp. The wasp, unable to avoid the spell's effects, is blinded by the intense luminosity, its senses overwhelmed. In its disorientation, the blinded warmonger wasp reacts instinctively, unleashing another static discharge. However, its impaired vision results in the discharge striking directly beneath itself, causing harm perhaps more to the immediate environment than to the intended targets on the ground.</p>
<p>With a powerful leap, Unafe ascends towards the two wasps, her trajectory bringing her into optimal position despite the dense canopy. As she reaches them, she extends her arms in a swift, encompassing motion, ensnaring both creatures in her formidable grasp.</p>
<p>The struggle is intense as the wasps flail and attempt to break free, their stingers lashing out in a desperate bid for freedom. However, Unafe's thick saurian hide proves impervious to their attacks.</p>
<p>The Hellfire Squadron, now empowered and coordinated, follows Myrna's lead, focusing their assault on one of the grounded warmonger wasps. Together, they unleash a flurry of attacks, their weapons finding their mark weakened by Unafe's grappling. The wasp, overwhelmed by the combined onslaught, is left reeling and in critical condition, its ability to fight back severely diminished by the concentrated effort of the squadron.</p>
<p>In the aftermath of the wasps' devastating electric assault, Beatrix, amidst the chaos, calls upon her divine connection. Lifting her holy symbol, she invokes a prayer to the Inheritor, channeling a wave of healing energy that washes over the Hellfire Squadron. The light emanating from her symbol bathes the wounded in restorative radiance, knitting together flesh and bolstering spirits weakened by the battle's fury. </p>
<p>On the battlefield, Unafe, having successfully grounded the wasps, turns her attention to the new threat emerging from beneath. She looks down to where Peace-Amidst-Pain might be, beneath the ground, her instinct to communicate silently thwarted by the realization that the elemental does not share a telepathic bond with her. </p>

<p>Together, Ehren and the Hellfire Squadron coordinate their efforts with renewed vigor, their combined strength and resolve turning the tide decisively in their favor. The remaining wasps, already reeling from the earlier spells, find themselves outmatched against the united front of the Crusaders. The once-threatening swarm is methodically dismantled, the wasps' menacing buzz dimming as the last of them fall. </p>
<p>High above the ground, Hinagiku engages in a tense aerial duel with the last two massacre wasps, her agility and combat prowess tested against their size and ferocity. Despite her skill and the chaos of battle below providing a distracting backdrop, one of the wasps exploits a rare lapse in her vigilance.</p>
<p>With a swift, darting maneuver that belies its massive size, one of the massacre wasps manages to close the distance. It catches Hinagiku off-guard, its mandibles clamping down on her with unexpected force. The bite momentarily disrupts Hinagiku's flow of combat.</p>
<p>Yet, even as the pain of the bite registers, Hinagiku's resilience and determination come to the fore. She quickly regains her composure, ready to retaliate and bring the battle to a decisive end. </p>

<p>Carefully angling his attack to spare his allies, Ehren directs the flaming serpent upwards into the heart of the swarm. The creature darts with uncanny agility, its form splitting the air, ensnaring wasp after wasp in its infernal grasp. The warmonger wasps caught in its path stand little chance; they are consumed by the spell, their forms incinerated by the intense heat.</p>
<p>The serpent then turns its fiery wrath upon the grounded Massacre Wasps, extending Ehren's destruction to these larger foes. It dances over their bodies, leaving trails of flame that sear and blacken their chitinous exteriors, destroying one of them outright. With a focused gesture, Li'an calls upon her own formidable powers, channeling the raw energy of fire.</p>
<p>The air around her shimmers with heat as she unleashes a torrent of flame towards the beleaguered wasp swarm. The fire engulfs the remaining wasps, their forms illuminated briefly against the inferno's wrath before succumbing to the searing heat. The once formidable swarm is reduced to a handful of survivors, their numbers decimated by Li'an's fiery onslaught. </p>
<p>High above them, Hinagiku folds into a compact form, driving her knee down onto the wasp with the full weight of her descent, followed by a swift, spinning kick that lands with devastating impact.</p>
<p>The wasp, caught off guard by the ferocity and speed of her attack, struggles to retaliate. Each of its counterattacks is met with naught but air, as Hinagiku's agility ensures she is always one step ahead.</p>
<p>On the ground, Unafe delivers two swift, powerful slams that leave no room for survival. Each strike is a hammer blow of righteous anger, echoing Myrna's song in physical form. The wasp's body, unable to withstand the ferocity of Unafe's attack, succumbs and shatters under the onslaught.</p>

The question hangs in the air: Can Ehren maintain his focus and deliver the spell amidst the onslaught, or will the wasps' attacks break his concentration and jeopardize his chance for a swift victory? </p>
<p>As the battlefield churns with chaos, another Massacre Wasp launches its attack, unleashing a surge of electric energy into the fray. The wasps in Unafe's hold squirm and lash out in vain, their stingers unable to breach her formidable defense. Yet, these creatures reveal their resilience as their biomechanical forms begin to mend, undoing the damage wrought by their fall.</p>
<p>Surrounded by holy light, the Hellfire Squadron finds renewed vigor. Myrna, embodying the essence of the Silver Crane, transforms their weapons into conduits of divine wrath. Each strike carries the weight of sacred power, cleaving through the swarm while mending their wounds.</p>
<p>The wasps retaliate with venomous intent, their stings delivering poison, yet the Crusaders stand firm, bolstered by their celestial protection. Even Peace-Amidst-Pain, now radiant with holy light, confronts their foes with unwavering courage.

<p>A swarm of warmonger wasps, about a dozen in total, converges above the Crusaders. Accompanying them are four huge wasps of staggering proportions, each measuring 25 feet in length. These, Hinagiku recognizes, are the dreaded Massacre Wasps, spoken of in hushed tones among the Crusaders for their fearsome prowess and strategic cunning on the battlefield.</p>
<p>The warmonger wasp swarm descends, unleashing chaos from above, their volleys of static discharge crackling through the air. Hinagiku, hovering above, watches as the swarm bypasses her, their focus intent on the Crusaders below - creating an opening. </p>
<p>The air is filled with the sound of buzzing wings and the sharp crackle of electricity, as the wasps coordinate their attack. The Crusaders brace for impact. Shields are raised, spells are hurriedly cast, and weapons are readied in a desperate bid to form a defense against the incoming onslaught.</p>

I'll futz with it some more as we get closer to launching this, and I might make them both VMC medium rather than 1 level medium dip (gonna have to compare the benefits vs the feat loss), and I think I want Urdman to have some skill ranks in heal for flavor reasons. I will type up some fluff and tactics and make an avatar later, but I wanted Connor to see what I'm working with so that I can address concerns early.</p>
<p>The basic concept is that Urdman was originally the druid of a dwarven clan. They used to live underground in a rural region of the Five Kings Mountains, and his job was to help with day-to-day survival, growing crops, hunting for food, etc. Some of his clansmen were approached by a recruiter for the Crusades during the First Crusade, and many persons of his clan wished to go, and so he followed. Though Urdman himself never formally joined the crusades, he and the many of the able-bodied dwarves of his clan moved to Drezen where they worked in a slate quarry a little outside of the city reaches. They mined stone and helped move it to Drezen to build the structures there.</p>
<p>When Drezen fell, a small rift opened inside of their mine, and vomited out hordes of insectoid demons. Though they fought bravely, his whole clan was wiped out. Desperate to save his clan, Urdman attempted to seal the rift inside the mine, but failed, and was tainted by the demonic energies. Unconscious and near death, he would have passed with the rest of his clan except his best friend Garvyn saved him, but when he got him back to safety he was unable to wake him. He was in a coma. Garvyn tried every healer he could find to try and awaken his friend, but all failed.... until his case caught the attention of the Riftwardens stationed in Kenabres.</p>
<p>The Kenabres Riftwardens were able to reverse the Abyssal taint on his soul enough to awaken him, but he awoke changed. He had lost his connection to nature, and all of his druidic powers, but he gained strange, new powers in return. Additionally, he carries around the Crusader's Crosses of his clansmen who died. He reflects on them everyday, calling out to them for guidance, and can even channel their spirits for strength and wisdom. </p>
<p>Since then, Urdman has pledged himself to the Riftwardens, and works both to repay his life-debt to them and to help fight the encroachment of the Worldwound, however he can.</p>
<p>Technically, Planar Extremists have to be CE to be abyssal-themed, but my thought is that he -did- become CE for a time, but the Riftwardens were able to reverse the taint enough to move him back to CN. </p>
<p>Crunch-wise, Urdman has modest damage potential but he mostly would help the party via utility casting from the druid spell-list. Combining himself, his eidolon, and his cohort together yields a group capable of doing some pretty good damage. </p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>He rolls around with his corrupted demonic animal companion. Right now he is a hippo, but I'm gonna see if I can find some cool under-dark monster to make him instead....but I also might just say he's some kind of awesome UNDER-HIPPO. ...In any case, animal companion died during the battle, but as a Planar Extremist he now summons his soul, which has also become abyssal-tainted (he is a demonic eidolon). </p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>Garvyn is Urdman's best friend. Unlike Urdman, he is a crusader himself, but since the fall of Drezen he has devoted his time to following Urdman around in service to the Riftwardens. He's a lot more likeable than Urdman. </p>

<p>Just so you know, casting SLAs does provoke an AoO, but because per the FAQ Vision of Madness only has a DC of 16, and you have a concentration check of +15, you auto-succeed at it.</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">FAQ wrote:</div><blockquote></p>
<p>Cleric domains, sorcerer bloodlines, wizard schools, and certain other class features give spell-like abilities that aren't based on spells. What's the effective spell level for these abilities?</p>
<p>The effective spell level for these spell-like abilities is equal to the highest-level spell that a character of that class could normally cast at the level the ability is gained.</p>
<p>For example, a 1st-level elemental bloodline sorcerer has elemental ray as a spell-like ability. Because a sorcerer 1's highest-level spell available is 1st, that spell-like ability counts as a 1st-level spell. A 9th-level elemental bloodline sorcerer has elemental blast as a spell-like ability. Because a sorcerer 9's highest-level spell available is 4th, that spell-like ability counts as a 4th-level spell.</p>

<p>Ducking through the iron gate, the Silver Ghost draws her hood up and her grey cloak around her shoulders. She heads to the Pantheon of Many, hoping to seek information about Mackeson or Paige's whereabouts. She had made an effort to get to know the clergy who worked here the previous night, so hopefully they would be willing to help her out. She knew that Mackeson had a tattoo parlour there, so with any luck, someone knew where he lived. She wanders around the crowds, seeking out people - especially Caydenites - and asking questions about Mackeson: <b>"You know, a dwarf named Mackeson, about ye high with a grey mohawk...lots of tattoos. Nice guy. Drinks a lot. Like... maybe a little too much."</b> She also checks to see if the Sarenrites and Paige were still there, hoping to find out if the orphans were doing alright, or if they had relocated to their own temple. Finally, she keeps an eye out for Lord Jalento - in case he was still around, she would like to escort him home. </p>

<p>Her initial reaction is frustration. Frustration that the spirits weren't helping her find Markus, at least not directly. And what did it mean? She needed to go find Mackeson, probably, and Paige. But did she really have to seek out those stuck-up guards? The old guy, Darius, and the snooty flower knight, Atticus. Oh, and Anguela. That one didn't seem <i>too</i> bad - at least she <i>tried</i> to help... but then again she also watched her try to rip out a guy's throat with her bare teeth. That was a tad disturbing.</p>
<p>She flops down into her soft bed and turns out the oil-lamp she keeps on the bedside table. Maybe, just maybe, if she sought those people out it would lead her to Markus. Or Lamm. Gods, hopefully not both. In any case, she needed some sleep, pronto. Tomorrow was going to be a long day. </p>

She is cold and distant to her staff this morning as she replays the events of the previous night over and over in her head. </p>
<p>Afterwards she heads to the stables - ostensibly to visit her mare, Honeysuckle, but in reality it is to smuggle her dirty costume and gear back out from the long box she keeps hidden under the hay behind the salt lick. She folds it up and carries it back to her room, where she proceeds to hand wash it in her own bathroom. She hangs it up to dry inside her closet, hidden inside an opaque garment bag over top of one of her other dresses. Thankfully, she has another costume hidden in her shoe closet. Making sure the door was locked, she dons her costume....</p>No matter how many times she has completed her ritual, or how many visits she has received in the night, seeing an actual spirit still causes her blood to run cold and the little hairs on the nape of her neck to stand up.

<p>Once they arrive at the Pantheon, she hugs the kids goodbye.

Her eyes skimming across the writing, she tosses the paper away to the floor with a roll of her eyes. She slouches back in her chair, crossing her arms and pursing her lips like a petulant child. From behind her head, a long tentacle, golden with glowing blue rings, snakes out and caresses her cheek fondly. She can't help but smile, just a little, at the gesture.</p>
<p><b>"I know, Caramia, my love,"</b> she says, sighing. <b>"We'll figure this out together."</b> </p>
<p>The next letter puts her in much better spirits. She just needed a little more time, after all, and the Nightrunners were prestigious enough amongst all of the drow houses that performing tasks for them would allow her to move about freely, unquestioned. Though clearly, not for much longer. </p>
<p><b>"I suppose my fiancee deserves some sort of a reply,"</b> she huffs. Reaching for a quill and some parchment, she contemplates her response for a moment, then draws out a reply in elegant elven script•:</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>•If elven would be taboo in drow culture, then Undercommon or Abyssal instead, whichever would be considered more "highbrow" </span> </p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Quote:</div><blockquote></p>
<p><i>To my beloved Kaelmourne,</i></p>
<p><i>Patience, my love. I shall return to you very soon, and then nothing in this world shall keep us apart. Just nine months remain before I shall never have to miss your loving embrace again. What is nine months compared to the centuries we shall face, together, hand in hand?</i> </p>
<p><i>Just yesterday I met with the seamstress - you know, the one I spoke of, from Giratayn - to evaluate the dress designs my mother had commissioned. I have to admit, I did not like any of them, and asked for her to create something more worthy of me. I know that you will not be angry with me, I only want for things to be perfect on our special day.</i> </p>
<p><i>For now, I must respond to a summons from my house. The Guild has need of my talents. You know that if I could, I would share details, but you understand our need to keep such secrets out of our letters to one another. </i> </p>
<p><i>I look forward to seeing you soon.</i></p>
<p><i>Your dearest Miriel.</i></p>

<p>Miriel grimaces, as if even writing the words were painful to her. Once she was done, she rolls up the script and stamps the letter closed with wax and her house's seal using her signet ring. Wrapping her body in a long spider-silk gown, she heads out into the house. </p>
<p><b>"Vaelia,"</b> she says, gesturing for one of her slaves. <b>"Ensure this letter is delivered to my fiancee,"</b> she commands. <b>"Kenra,"</b> she commands to another, <b>"Come, I must prepare for a journey. Help prepare my clothes."</b></p>
<p>Once she is ready to leave, Miriel changes out of her robe into something more practical (though not <i>too</i> practical - appearances were everything, after all), a tan skirt below a white chemise, and a tight-fitting yellow corset with black ties. Her long, high heeled brown boots bear multiple straps with brass buckles designed to accentuate her long legs, and she wears a distinctive bracer on her left forearm that resembles fronds of intertwined seaweed. Her hair she wears in an elaborate braided up-do - it took two different slaves worth of work to accomplish - on the back of which a small octopus is attached. Its tentacles weave into her braids, securing it into position from which it does little but occasionally writhe an odd tentacle or two across her head or neck, though the way it surveys its environment betrays its keen intelligence. </p>
<p>Miriel calls for a chauffeur to escort her to the guild hall. Despite her familial ties to the guild, she does not dare being late. She passes by A'streth without a second glance, though unlike Valiana, she doesn't bother knocking. She simply lets herself in, brushing past the half-orc as she does without acknowledgement. And why shouldn't she? Her family owns this place. </p>

<p>Portia Ciliathis is sitting at dinner across from her parents, poking her fish with a fork, flaking it apart without eating it. For dinner tonight was white asparagus, poached in cream, with royal ossetra caviar, paired with grilled striped marlin smothered in a curried hollandaise. It was well made, but Portia couldn't bring herself to eat much. Not with Markus still missing. She had sworn a promise to herself a week ago that she would find him. And it was Oathday, no less. </p>

<p>@Paige -</p>
<p>I like your idea of being a contact for charity with Portia. Let's go with that! Portia specifically sought out Paige to make a large donation after she was turned away for one by her own parents. She's come back a few times since, the sizes of her donations varying from very large to small (basically whatever sum she felt like could get away with from her allowance). Each time she's insisted total anonymity for her donation, which is unusual - normally when nobles make donations of such sums they expect some sort of plaque, gala, or otherwise some sort of <i>recognition</i> for their charity so that they can basically wave their wealth around at other nobles. But not Portia. But really, it wouldn't be <i>too</i> odd, given that Paige remembers that her parents don't necessarily agree with her charity. </p>
<p>Her impression of Paige so far is positive though their relationship so far has been pretty much transactional. She would treat her cordially when they meet - and both Portia and Paige are charismatic women. The two are around the same age, and Paige has devoted her life to serving the poor and underserved in a way that Portia wishes she could. In a sense - she envies her for that - the ability to work so openly. Of course, this envy is misplaced. Portia doesn't understand (nor can she fathom) the pain and darkness of Paige's history. And of course, the only thing keeping Portia from living a life of public charity like Paige, is Portia herself. </p>
<p>@leinathan -</p>
<p>I think I want to de-age Portia to 18, as long as you think that, culturally, it wouldn't be off for her to use drinking/partying as an alibi for her evening shenanigans at that age. She's modeled as a "teenage hero" archetype, so I want her to be young. Thoughts?</p>
<p>Also, I want to note that Portia's initial hook (her missing nephew) was written vaguely so that you don't necessarily have to re-use the Gaedren Lamm adventure, but <i>does</i> neatly fit into that plot should you decide to. He could have been kidnapped by any villain for any purpose, and perhaps is even dead. He's the son of a noble family so it is odd that they haven't received a ransom yet after all... but perhaps they just hadn't gotten it out yet. I trust you you to surprise me ;)</p>G'morning.

<p>Ah, well, she would have still felt caged in that sense because she wouldn't feel safe sneaking out from the guy's house to go vigilante. It was important that she had a cover story of "oh I was at his place, sorry dad". Otherwise the guards would have told her parents that she went MIA. and they'd probably start a manhunt looking for her. But, I think having their interaction end on a more positive note would be better - Portia would have taken an immediate liking to her if Kat stood up for her attempt to buck her "chains". If we are both selected, then Portia would have seen a snippet of Kat's personality prior to her brother dying. So when they meet again later, it would be apparent to Portia that something had changed. </p>
<p>This is interesting because they would have each interacted with a different side of the other than the other PCs have, in a sense, without either immediately realizing how or why that is.</p>@Hotaru

<p>The goal was to show Kat prior to her brother's death (though I may have your timeline wrong) so I wasn't sure if she would have been quite as depressed or surly back then.

<p>Sure -</p>
<p>1. When she was younger, the ghost of a young child came to her, pleading that her adoptive family (another noble family) had abused her and her adopted siblings behind closed doors, while feigning a life of philanthropy to other nobles. Portia felt bad for her, but she wasn't sure what to do about it, or even if she should believe the spirits (perhaps they were in truth demons or devils?). But then a few weeks later the nobles were caught trying to dispose of the dead body of a child (<i>not</i> the body of the little girl who came to her) and she felt terribly guilty. She had an opportunity to help someone and she let it slip by her. After that, she decided to take on the role of a vigilante, partially inspired by the legend of Blackjack. But it still took about a year before she was brave enough and secure enough in her physical abilities to actually go out and do it. </p>
<p>1a. So in general her adventuring life has worked one of two ways so far - either she goes out in the middle of night and looks for trouble (with varying degrees of success) or a restless spirit comes to her seeking some sort of aid, and she does what she can to help out. Her vigilante persona gained some local notoriety for exposing a local rapist and murderer (he ended up being a local barber, well-liked and painfully average), but she pulled this off mostly through the aid of his dead victims. She's also committed some minor acts of heroism (breaking up small gangs, drug dealers, pickpockets etc), which have given her a generally positive reputation amongst Korvosans. Though, as a level 2 adventurer, she is definitely not a spiderman/batman/daredevil... yet ;) This adventure would actually constitute her first time going out in the daylight as her vigilante identity, which makes her nervous, but she thinks the risk is worth it if she can save her nephew. </p>
<p>2. She is specifically a champion for the poor and the oppressed - those without the power or social clout to help themselves. As someone with the privilege of listening to the conversations that the upper class have behind closed doors, she is concerned that there is something inherently corrupt in how Korvosa is being run, and she doesn't feel like any other nobles feel the same way as she does. How else would there be so much injustice in what is one of the finest metropolises in the inner sea? Why is there such a huge gap between justice served for the poor, and justice served for the rich? So far she has been very focused on petty crimes (because that befits a character of her level) but my goal with her is that she will become a powerful voice for social reform. In a sense, her social identity can be just as much of a hero as her vigilante identity, she just doesn't realize that yet. </p>
<p>3. She's a 20-something wealthy socialite, so it isn't hard for her to maintain her cover as "I'm off traveling" or "I'm off at the ____ estate" (her family owns multiple places of residence across Varisia). Her parents for their part are often away for business, and learned long ago it is hopeless to keep too close tabs on her. Her staff knows she comes and goes as she pleases - she doesn't have an "Alfred" on her side in that sense. Her vigilante-ism mostly means she's well known amongst her family and housestaff for sleeping in a lot, but she plays it off as having partied too hard the night before. She's also gained a reputation of being rather flaky (leaving parties early, or not showing up at all). She tries to maintain some sort of balance between her two lives to keep her cover going, but honestly the life of a socialite bores her to tears now, so it is hard for her to get motivated to do so.</p>leinathan wrote:@ Portia - good to see you, Kiora!

<p>For races my NPCs are dominantly human with human-hybrids (mostly aasimar and tiefling because it makes sense for the setting). That's mostly to reflect the area, though. I will introduce occasional core races (dwarf/elf/gnome/halfling).... other exotic races, I want to keep exotic, so I don't use them except once in a blue moon. </p>
<p>For gender I flip a coin. I think I've ended up with more women than men but that is kind of a coincidence. As far as nonbinary genders go... I have an intersex NPC that hangs out with the PCs. I don't have any nonbinary NPCs, I've been thinking of introducing at least one. I had a Raelis Azata NPC but I wanted to depict him as young and therefore predominantly presented himself as binary male. I also have a transwoman NPC that became a leadership cohort of one of our PCs :)</p>
<p>For skin color, I'm using the Inner Sea races. Because of the setting I have mostly kellids, chelish, and taldane (so basically, white) but I try to make a point of introducing non-white races amongst our NPCs. I think among my "main cast" friendly NPCs I'm at 33% PoC, which I feel is reasonable given the setting. </p>
<p>For body type, it is hard to find cool fantasy art of varied body types. I typically don't describe body types, also, so I think that is something I can work on. I do make a point of trying to have middle-aged women present in the world as competent fighters. </p>
<p>Sexuality-wise I've had gay, bi and lesbian NPCs. And a poly NPC. No asexual NPCs so far, but we have an asexual PC. </p>
<p>I make a conscious effort to have diverse NPCs because that kind of fantasy setting makes me happy when I'm consuming other fantasy media and it makes me happy to have a diverse world that I GM. YMMV, though.</p>For my current campaign:

<p>Nary can't really handle sitting around an hour. That went against everything being a gnome stood for. </p>
<p>She sits and looks at her paper, appearing to scrutinize it. She understood numbers - understanding numbers is important to understand <i>money</i> and growing up, money was all that really mattered. But really, all she is doing is scoping the room. In her right hand she palms her coin, mentally applying one last dash of <i>prestidigitation</i> - she needed to keep it shiny, after all. </p>
<p>Rule number one was to never try and talk down more than one person at a time. People who were alone were more vulnerable. </p>
<p>So Nary approaches either a guard who is standing alone, or at maximum, two standing together. She focuses on one, quickly making eye contact. Her strange, blue eyes seem to swirl and suck a person in, making it hard to break away. <span class=messageboard-ooc>Hypnotic Stare, -2 to will saves</span></p>

<p>The goblin commando steers his goblin dog away from combat, but Jeremy lashes his whip around the dog's hind leg, toppling it over. The commando falls off, laying prone. The dog stands up. It stands up, wheeling, and mounts the goblin dog once more. </p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc> Breakdown of actions here: Free action to direct the mount hands free. Dog takes move action to leave. It gets tripped. Move action for dog to stand back up. Commando stands up, as move action, then mounts, a second move action. </span></p>

<p><b>Round 2</b></p>
<p>The goblin menacing the nobleman stands and notices Jeremy. It moves towards him, leaping over his whip. It lunges at Jeremy with its rusty dogslicer, but it slips and lunges at the air instead.</p>

With expert precision, Jeremy's opening shot is sent plunging heinously into the commando, who shrieks in surprise and pain.
One of the goblins comes charging in. Jeremy lashes at it with his light whip, but misses, as he is distracted by the commando. The other goblin follows soon after, but Jeremy manages to trip it before it gets too close to him.

<p>Just east of the White Deer, Sandpoint's other inn, near the north gate, a goblin commando mounted on a goblin dog has bravely attacked a noble and his hunting dog. The nobleman is dressed in fine blue clothes, and has dark hair, and a goatee. He cowers behind a rain barrel, calling out desperately for help, while his dog fights the commando. As Jeremy rounds the corner, he arrives just in time to see the mounted goblin kill the dog with his massive axe. The dog crashes dying to the ground, as the commando's goblin kin (who were themselves cowering nearby while the dog was handled) throw up a cheer and emerge from hiding.</p>
<p>The goblins are still distracted by their kill, and as they turn their attention to the nobleman, Jeremy has the opportunity to attack from surprise!</p>

<p>Bearclaw opens combat with an orcish war chant. Badwe takes the cue and fires at a darkmantle, but the darkmantle darts away, dropping down into the air. The darkmantle hears Marina's curses and shudders, but resolves itself to protect its home from these intruders. It flies closer to the group, attaches itself to a stalactite tip, and casts <i>Darkness</i> once more shrouding the area in an inescapable gloom. The other darkmantle charges at Karis, who hears it coming and stabs into the darkness blindly. She scores a hit, her thrust simple a straight, sending a jolt down the length of the spear with an audible crunch and a horrible squeal. She hears the creature fall to the ground with a thud. Bearclaw can see that it is still twitching, but unlikely to get up anytime soon. </p>

Okay thanks for the clarification :)

<p>Anevia curses. <b>"F••$ you, Millorn! When we get back to Kenabres I'll make sure Irabeth sends a whole squad of crusaders down here after you!

<p>The deluge of curses on Millorn is finally too much for him and he shudders all over. While he is distracted by Marina, Karis slices into him, the sharp edge of her blade leaving a nice slice flayed from his abdomen. Wide-eyed and frightened, Millorn tries to back away from Karis only to find there is nowhere for him to go! He draws a dagger and slashes at Karis, a swift pivot bringing him into the perfect position to cut her down with as much force as he can muster. Karis falls to the ground, unconscious. <b>"Hehehe!

Marina turns and directs her <i>dancing lights</i> at the intruder, revealing the cavern behind them as containing a small extinguished campfire and a well-used bedroll, along with a few utensils and tools, sits near another cave opening in the far wall of this cavern. In the back is a crazed looking dwarf with a red beard, wearing ratty, filthy clothes and bearing a crossbow on his back. He shrieks like a man possessed!</p>

<p>Probably too volatile to work with actual players (unless you had all-ranged players for the rest of the group). But in solo, it just has great storytelling potential.</p>Also, I'm really digging the archetype.

<p>The snake draws back, suddenly uncertain. Before it can retreat, Karis approaches with a fast, neat overhead slash. Her overhead strike flows like quicksilver, rending it open with a surprisingly jagged wound. It lives, but just barely, not moving, slowly bleeding out.</p>

<p>Horgus is suddenly inspired to get moving, spurred on by his much braver companion's voiced fears. He starts sprinting ahead, only to trip over a large piece of rubble. The torch falls to the ground next to him, and suddenly, a long, grey snake strikes at him while he is down! The snake was previously camouflaged amongst the stones.</p>

<p>Horgus rolls out of the way just in time, and the snake narrowly misses him! The snake strikes the stone floor instead, and it recoils, hissing in pain and anger. </p>
