Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Likewise as Minasako collapses, and her entrails fall away from Kiyoko's neck and shoulders, the sword saint performs a chiburui slash and rubs at her neck. She returns her katana to its saya and says, "If the bath were not haunted, I would dearly love to get all this...ichor off of me."

Fort save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Reitenseiya, two-handed Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 2 = 26
two-handed Power Attack, challenge dmg: 1d8 + 16 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 16 + 5 = 23

Kiyoko resists the impulse to grab at the entrails slithering around near her neck, even as she feels a wave of weakness as the abomination drains her life force. Instead, the sword saint brings her enchanted adamantine katana about in an upward slash, aiming to separate the entrails from Minasako's head--and then to cleave that head in two, if she has the momentum for it.

Kiyoko moves up to the floating abomination and slashes again.

Reitenseiya, two-handed Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 = 18
two-handed Power Attack, challenge dmg: 1d8 + 16 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 16 + 5 = 26

Reitenseiya, two-handed Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 2 = 14

Shifting to a two-handed grip on her ancestral katana, Kiyoko steps in and brings her blade up in an upward slash that fails to connect with the abomination’s flesh.

Using one Resolve to activate Resolute as an immediate action and take the better of two rolls.

Kiyoko offers Minasako a cold smile and steels herself as the effects of the abomination’s magic wash over her.

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko steps in closer to the aberration. With lightning speed, she draws her enchanted adamantine katana Reitenseiya and slashes at Minasako.

5-foot-step, swift to challenge, full-round action to Iaijutsu Strike

Reitenseiya, one-handed Iaijutsu Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Reitenseiya, one-handed, challenge dmg: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 5 = 21
Iaijutsu Strike dmg: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) = 8

Assuming that hits, all enemies within 30' must also make a DC 12 Will save or be shaken for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 rounds.

By the kami! What is that?!

Kiyoko resheathes her katana and drops into an iai stance, hand hovering over the hilt of her blade. "All things have an end, Minasako-san," she says. "Some only delay theirs a little while."

Nothing else before initiative from me.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko advances into the room warily, her ancestral katana still in hand. "The mistress of the house," Kiyoko says, more statement than question. "My name is Tamahi Kiyoko. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?"

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, Kiyoko moves toward the north door and opens it too. "May be something interesting in the piles of books," she says, clearly uninterested in the room's contents itself.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

"Mmn," comes Kiyoko's reply to Ki Chin's observations. She glances at the calligraphy attempts, then moves toward the eastern door. Katana still drawn after their fight with the skeletons, she tenses in readiness and opens the door.

two-handed Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 2 = 25
Reitenseiya, two-handed Power Attack dmg: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

The Tian-Min sword saint slashes at the skeleton again, the blade connecting this time with the satisfying crunch of adamantine on bone.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko shifts to a two-handed stance with her katana and moves to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Ki Chin. She slashes at the remaining skeletal warrior, but the blade glances harmlessly off its light shield.

Reitenseiya, two-handed Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 = 12
Reitenseiya, two-handed Power Attack dmg: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Iaijutsu Strike dmg: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4) = 13

Crit confirm, weapon expertise: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 15
crit dmg: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Kiyoko takes a half-step back and unsheathes her katana. In one fluid motion, she brings the enchanted adamantine blade down on the skeletal warrior’s clavicle.

Swift action to Challenge, full-round action to Iaijutsu Strike.

If it’s still alive after that 44 dmg hit (or 31 if the crit wasn’t confirmed), her AC is currently 17 against it, but she has DR2/- against it also.

Looks like Eltran is dropping out of the game (as he said on discord), at least for now. Guess we’ll need to move on without him.

Sovereign Court

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Kiyoko drops into a ready stance and her hand goes to the hilt of her katana as the doors fly open.

Pretty sure I've already figured out what it is OOC. xD Dang anti-ninja traps.

Untrained Knowledge (engineering), DC10 possible: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Kiyoko steps into the room cautiously and looks around for any visible threats. Once satisfied there are none, she looks over one of the paintings before moving to, and opening, the northern door.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko watches in alarm as To-to wanders past in a daze. “What are you—?!” she exclaims as he throws himself off of the balcony. The sword-saint rushes to snatch him back, narrowly missing as he falls. Fortunately, he is able to grab the edge himself, and she scrambles to hoist him back up onto the balcony with the rest of the group.

Taking a steadying breath, she moves to the doors ahead of them on the balcony. She opens the door and quickly looks around before stepping inside.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko nods grimly as the party ascends the stairs. She keeps her hand near the hilt of her katana. "It may be like the bath-house again," she says, thinking of the blast of cold from the phantasm downstairs.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko glances at To-to and moves to follow him upstairs.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Honestly, I think in a PbP format, the 'creepy and tense' part would definitely rely on elaborate descriptions of the eerieness of the place from the GM.

Kiyoko steps into the room and takes a look around. "Mmn....Several chests." She takes a step closer to investigate the nearest chest, motioning over her shoulder with one hand for the others to join her.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Ready yourselves,” Kiyoko says, glancing over her shoulder. After a moment’s pause, she throws the latch and opens the secret door.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko looks over at where To-to is pointing, then moves to investigate further. Maybe there was a way to open the door, she thought, running her hands over the wall.

Sovereign Court

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Kiyoko steps into the room warily and looks around.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko steps out onto the veranda and follows it to the west and south before arriving in the garden (A3). She then heads to the door to the north of the garden and opens it.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

The Tian-Min samurai advances through the room, then opens the door out onto the veranda. She pokes her head outside and calls over her shoulder, "There is a chest in here."

Maybe there was something more valuable than clothing in there, but who knows?

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko moves to open the door to the north of her, on the western wall. “Let us get away from here, lest that creature should return.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko curses quietly in Minkaian after it becomes apparent that the creature has fled. She resheathes her katana and looks around.

Does it look like either of the doors near Kiyoko--either one square north or one square south of her--are open? And if so, were they open before the fight?

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko closes her eyes and concentrates on locating their invisible foe as well.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Given that their invisible foe is more or less trapped in a corner, Kiyoko slashes at the space she last saw him at.

Two-handed Power Attack, Reitenseiya: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 2 = 28
Crit confirm, weapon expertise: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 26

Usually, drinking a potion will provoke an AoO. Kiyoko can still take AoOs while slowed, so I'm assuming she should be able to take an AoO on the creature. On that assumption:

Attack of Opportunity, one-handed: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Kiyoko slashes at the now-blind creature as it fumbles for a potion. She then shifts to a two-handed grip and raises her katana overhead, attempting to bring it down where she last saw the (now-invisible) creature.

Two-handed Power Attack, Reitenseiya1d20+11-2[/dice: 1d1d8 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

Man, look at those rolls...

Fort save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Kiyoko grits her teeth and continues her slow advance toward the strange creature, drawing her katana as she closes with him. "Be...quiet."

Suddenly feeling sluggish, Kiyoko tries to hustle out of the area being pelted by ice.

Move.

Kiyoko looks over her shoulder. This being Minkai, the creature may well not speak Common (Taldane), she thinks. That in mind, she translates for Aylanna in Tien, if it seems necessary.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko shakes her head at Aylanna's question, then strides directly into the room. She keeps an eye on the mumbling creature, but doesn't attack unless it attacks her first.

Kiyoko joins Ki Chin near the northern door. "As good as any," she says, and motions for Ki Chin to open it.

27/49

Seeing the vortex appear floating at the center of the pool, Kiyoko tries to duck for cover. Unfortunately, she is too slow. Shivering now, she climbs to her feet again and looks around. It is gone now, she observes silently.

What was that?

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

GM MindXing:
By “steps in,” I’d actually meant into the room, not into the pool. So unless the haunt’s trigger is ‘wade into the pool,’ let’s not have Kiyoko go messing up her clothes in disgusting water xD

Alarmed at the sudden changes in the room, Kiyoko’s hand goes to her katana. “Where is this mist coming from?

Standard action to start a full-round action. Assuming the haunt is near enough next round, she’ll finish the full-round action as an Iaijutsu Strike; otherwise she’ll just abandon the completion part of the full-round action.

Kiyoko advances into the bathing pool room warily. She takes a few steps in and peers into the murky water of the pool, wondering what the smell is coming from--or, for that matter, what it is.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

"Do it," the Tian-Min samurai calls to Ki Chin. While he does that, Kiyoko advances into one of the rooms off of the bathing area and opens the door at the east end of it (A13).

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

And with a muttering about eccentrics, Kiyoko exits the torture room and climbs back up the ladder. She then proceeds back to the baths (A14), recalling that there was a door in the opposite side of the room, and opens it once there.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko returns Reitenseiya to its scabbard and follows after To-to into the torture chamber. The book of poetry catches her eye, and she leafs through its pages briefly. She then looks at the other books, and tries to see if there is any connection between the contents of the books.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko follows down the ladder after To-to. Seeing the door, she tries to open it, and, when it fails to open, she rattled it a few more times for good measure. The sword saint then unsheathes Reitenseiya, her adamantine katana, and motions for the tengu to take a step back. She then slashes the door in half.

Two-handed Power Attack dmg: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Since her katana is made of adamantine, it ignores hardness of under 20.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

"Hoh? Kiyoko says as something catches her eye. "I see a trap door, here."

She moves to investigate, and lifts the trap door up.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko steps into the room and walks over to the large window in the eastern wall. She peers out, looking both to the right and left, and harrumphs. So far, this 'haunted' mansion was proving to be rather mundane.

"There was a door in the bathhouse," she says, looking over her shoulder. "There, next?"

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

"I wonder who last used this place," the Tian-Min samurai muses. An answer not forthcoming (nor could there be), Kiyoko moves to the door on the eastern wall and proceeds to open it.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko takes a step into what she surmises to be the bath-house. She looks over the faded paintings and into the empty tubs.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

After a cursory look, she joins Ki Chin in the kitchen.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

"Hm. It would seem this was a scene of betrayal," Kiyoko muses as she takes in the scene in the L-shaped room. "Nothing to be done for it now."

She then moves to the northern door on the eastern wall and opens it.

Sovereign Court

Female Human (Tian-Min) Samurai (sword saint) 5 Kiyoko's Portrait(s)

Kiyoko slides open the door to the west and calls to her comrades in the atrium, “There is something in here. A body drained of blood—not more than a few weeks old.

With that, she moves to the door to the north and opens it.
