Korez's page

Korez quickly reloads and fires again, trying to finish off the last reveler.

attack+inspire courage-into melee: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 - 4 = 8
damage+IC: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Korez retrieves a flask of acid from his belt and lobs it into the room towards the pink reveler.

ranged touch+dance: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 19
acid damage+dance: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

"I am sorry, Jiggo, but my healing powers are not yet strong enough to remove that curse inflicted by the wight."

sense motive, paladin: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

He has a good look at the items in the wooden box, inspecting them for magical properties.

spellcraft, potion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
spellcraft, candle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
spellcraft, box: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

"Well, I'm not sure what any of these are. Probably useful, though."

As they enter the maze, he fights the urge to respond to all the mysterious sights and sounds, instead focusing on finding a path through.

survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

But the spooky faces are too distracting.

Korez is sorely disappointed to find that the enemy is not inside the mist but is the mist itself.

He tries to recall anything more about the wight when it appears.

knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

..but is unable to.

Lesser Restoration won't work for the negative level right?

Korez moves to the doorway and unleashes a burst of flame from his hands towards the mist.

burning hands: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) = 7

DC 15 Reflex for half.

knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

"I'm not sure what that thing is, but I don't like the looks of it at all. Let's see if we can expose it a bit better." He summons the spirits of the heavens to illuminate the creature.

Using Stardust ability. This causes the target to shed light as a candle, and it cannot benefit from concealment or any invisibility effects. The creature takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls and sight-based Perception checks. Lasts for 1 round.

Even though he himself can see fine, Korez creates a light to assist the others as they descend. "Keep your eyes open, chums. There is danger lurking."

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

Korez shares his feelings with the others. "Finish the half-orc off while we still can easily."

If Seren didn't already. heh

Korez watches the giggling boss, wondering what he might do when his fit draws to an end.

I will spend a standard action on it.

sense motive on red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Congratulations! :D

Korez curses when the enemies are able to shake off his distraction.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

He then focuses on the yellow enemy, hexing him with bad luck.

Misfortune on yellow. DC 15 Will again.

Sorry I meant to add that to the map but was in a hurry to head to work. Yes the boss. :D

Korez scurries back away from the other enemies not distracted by his starry display. He implores the heavens to withdraw their favor from the nearest thug.

Misfortune hex on the green sailor. DC 15 Will save negates. Lasts 1 round otherwise. And then moving out of the way for the others to get through.

The hypnotic pattern spell lasts for 2 additional rounds since I'm stopping concentration. I'm hoping we can kill the other two before then.

Korez winces at the torture. "Maybe you need something to distract you while we discuss the situation."

Casting hypnotic pattern with my spirit magic. DC 16 Will negates.

hd of creatures affected: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9

The undine had been eerily quiet thus far, spending all his time observing the night sky and poring over star charts. When he feels prepared, he finally joins in the conversation.

"I am Korez and I too have previously visited these islands. It was no picnic, let me tell you! Although we were almost lunch." He shudders at the recollection.

"I am an astronomer. I know it is unusual for one of my kind, but consider how important the stars are to those who dwell on the sea for navigation. I have an affinity to the heavenly bodies which grants me all sorts of powers. Most importantly, I can focus the heavenly spirits on anyone who needs to move and they just instantly appear somewhere else."

Heaven's Leap hex lets me use jester's jaunt on everyone 1x/day. I will use it to save people who go down in combat, to move someone into place for a full attack or flank if desired, or any other unusual movement we require. Feel free to ask for its use if you have any ideas.

I also added my Gloomspire perception bonus to the map dice box.

Edit since I took so long posting that:

"What's going on here? What has this man done?" Korez doesn't approach too closely yet.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Heh when I get to level 5 I would be up for it. :D

Aha apparently it's in 6-21 tapestry's toil.

Thanks for a fun game! :D

Same question ^^ but especially since the Kami Reunited boon which you didn't X out says it requires both Respect boons. So we either should have gotten Tanbaru's Respect or not gotten the Reunited boon.

This is Tundran. We are finishing today so I will be able to bring this character after all. :D

Need to update him with the new chronicle and possibly purchases still.

Day Job:
profession (astronomer): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

"Tanbaru seems pleased to see his mate, I expect he will desire to stay. And I am happy to let him."

Korez removes the oni from his head. "Go to Jiraku! Be together once again!"

sense motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Korez can't tell what she wants this time- the imminent eruption is too distracting.

Something tells me we will want to get a good Sense Motive this round and that Diplomacy is a trap this time. Just a metagame guess though.

Korez happily helps Whendel with his wand.

He watches the woman, trying to figure out what her ultimate intent is.

sense motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

"Tanbaru, can you help us explain why you led us here? Do you recognize this woman or these tests?" he whispers to the oni.

Barid's +14 to Diplomacy is probably our best bet on all of these.

Good plan, Whendel!

Korez prepares to teleport Thundering Bull into position when everyone is ready.

Feel free to bot me as needed to finish in time.

Yeah, would using heaven's leap be something which would give the monk a new save? I don't think it would fall into the category of automatically breaking but it's not really clear.

If I can use heaven's leap without automatically breaking fascination I will move Thundering Bull up right behind the monk to finish him off. Good suggestion, Whendel. ;)

Korez follows the monk, calling upon the heavens to distract the foe long enough for the others to catch up. A burst of lights appear in the air above the nagaji. Looking carefully, one can make out patterns which resemble the constellations.

Casting Hypnotic Pattern. DC 16 Will save or become fascinated for concentration +2 rounds.

Korez, running after the others, suddenly sees a nagaji like the others cross in front of him. He steps into the room and wishes really hard that this nagaji will have bad luck!

Misfortune. DC 15 Will save.

With Barid stabilized, Korez follows the others to the sound of fighting.

Double move.

Korez uses his own wand on the fallen Barid. "Stay with us!"

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Korez moves out into the open hallway and fires a crossbow bolt all the way down towards the blue naga.

attack+bless-cover: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 10
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Korez steps out of the little room towards the nagaji, focusing all his energy on bringing it bad luck.

Misfortune hex on green for 1 round. DC 15 Will save negates.

"Aha! Many useful oils here! You folk who cannot cast spells should take these and put them to good use."

knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

"These eggs are from a particularly strong serpent. They can be raised and trained to become powerful companions."

When the nagaji appear, Korez immediately calls down a blessing from the heavens on all his associates, except Kelemur who is in the far room.

Casting bless. It looks like everyone else just fits within the 50' range. I will move if needed to get everyone.

Korez has a look around the adjoining columned rooms. "There must be something important here we are missing."

I will search B5 first and if nothing big happens I will continue on to B7. Will use detect magic in each room also.

perception B5: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
perception B7: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Korez signs his name with a flourish, drawing little stars around it.

"Patience, my large friend. Someone might be able to read these old books and gain useful information about the enemies ahead."

I don't have any of those knowledges :(

With much to discover in this small building, Korez takes a nice long look around, happy to have Barid's assistance.

perception pillows: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 1 = 32
knowledge planes north wall: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7
knowledge planes east wall: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
knowledge religion south wall: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
knowledge nature south wall: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26
knowledge planes/religion west wall: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15
survival west wall: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 = 14

Korez is able to recognize a few of the elements in the murals and shares those with the group. "I wonder if we must go to the volcano cave if it is indeed close by."

Korez followws along behind Kelemur, looking out for signs of whoever cast that spell. "Tanbaru, do you know where we go from here?"

perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Korez is a little overwhelmed by the assortment of wands being thrust in his face all at once. "Okay, okay, you will all get your healing!" He takes each wand in turn and taps its owner with a quick bow. When everyone is finished, he retrieves his armor and gets all suited back up.

Roll your own wands to save time if you like. Korez will always help out.

My barkskin lasts for 30 minutes so I would assume there' some time left on it still?

Korez digs in his pitons and attempts to cross the gap. "Come along fellows! We've more snakes to deal with up here!"

climb+kit, no armor: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Does that count as just my move or did I use a standard action there as well? If I can still act:

Korez shouts, "Boo!" and sends a blast of flame at the snake threatening Thundering Bull.

Looks like I can avoid Bull with my cone. DC 15 Reflex for half.

burning hands: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) = 6

acrobatics, no armor: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Korez pushes his way past the crocodile in time to see the snakes attacking poor Whendel. The undine quickly calls on the heavens to whisk Whendel back to safety.

I'm using heaven's leap to move Whendel to the square I started from.

Korez curses: "I just knew if I removed my armor we would run into trouble. Lucky thing I came prepared."

Casting barkskin on myself for +2 natural armor.

Ok I was thinking we were at -60. Makes sense then.

Korez warns, "I might need some extra protection if we get attacked along this ledge." He removes his bulky armor and follows the rest, using his climbing kit to bypass the gaps.

Without armor on I can take 10 for a 12 on Climb.

Can we do a climb to the -40' stairs instead of all the way up? And if I jaunt everyone to the -40' or -30' level can we just walk up from there since we would be past the gaps? I think that still constitutes a hard challenge since it would expend so many of my uses of that ability.

"I reckon I could transport us all partway there if we can make it the rest of the way somehow."

knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Not sure if there was anything else to learn.

"Perhaps we should sound the gong and see what happens."

knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

"The locals consider the birds an auspicious sign, and never kill them or eat their eggs. We should probably show them the same respect or risk offense."

When Kelemur has crossed, Korez calls out: "Tie off your end of the rope so we can use it to assist our climb."

Korez removes his armor then uses his climbing kit and the rope to attempt the landslide.

climb+kit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

I swapped out entangle for monkey fish on my prepared spell list.

"Somehow this land seems more foreign than the Elemental Planes. What is this crazy writing?"

Korez purchases a climbing kit as they pass through Ramparassad, realizing every bit of precaution will help among the forboding mountains.

Spent 80 gold. If we have a chance to rememorize spells, I can use monkeyfish as another climbing aid. Would it be ok to say that he would have anticipated the need for climbing beforehand so I can switch it now?

Once they strike out into the wilderness, he invites Tanbaru to rest on his face. "Perhaps together we shall see all danger before it sees us."

perception+tanbaru: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 2 = 29

Shall we give Tanbaru to whoever has the best modifier? I can buy a climber's kit if need be.

Korez offers, "As long as the cliff is not too tall I can help us up the most difficult parts."

I have this hex. Feel free to ask if you need help moving, otherwise I will save it for combat situations.

Heaven’s Leap: The shaman is adept at creating tiny tears in the fabric of space, and temporarily stitching them together to reach other locations through a limited, one-way wormhole. As a standard action, the shaman can designate herself or a single ally that she can see who is within 30 feet of her. She can move that creature as if it were subject to jester’s jaunt. Once targeted by this hex, the ally cannot be the target of this hex again for 24 hours.

Looks good. Didn't realize you guys were in both of these games too! :D

A serious-looking undine with various lenses and tubes hanging out of his pack and off his cloak nods his greetings to all. "I am Korez. I study the motions of the heavens. I have learned much about their great powers but the more I learn, the more I realize I do not even know."

When the oni appears, he remarks, "I have never seen one of your kind before. That sounds simply dreadful though. I'm sure you have much you can tell us about the Tapestry after such a long stay?"

No on both counts for me unless he appeared in Serpent's Rise? I don't think so though.

That's good to hear actually. Korez has just finished his last scenario and will be receiving the chronicle sheet sometime by Saturday at the latest. So I will be ready to go by tomorrow also.

"Having sounded the horn, I now have greater respect for its power. Such objects are not safer anywhere on Golarion than the Vault at the Grand Lodge. I believe our new alliance will continue to blossom most if peace and safety are preserved."

Thanks Batpony! This was really a terrific, fun run. And thanks everybody else for a memorable group. Good luck to you all in your GD6 games. :D

Awesome. Thanks so much! :D
