Kyra, Level 4 Pregen!'s page

[Kyra gives a cookie to A-zombie]

I should have never clicked on A-Zombie's spoiler... warning to all: he's not enjoying it so far... more like he HAS enjoyed it...

Long story short: don't click on his spoiler if you're just two episodes in... like me. :P

...but yeah, it's quite good... so far! :)

"Time for the time dragon!"

"Khargrom! we are here to advise and provide counsel: not to berate or pass judgement against our clients! And remember that everything that is being said or done is passable to be reported to our Pathfinder Society leaders! I will not add your outburst to my report, as it stands, but please speak no further on the matter. Relax and have a beer: you deserve one after your bravery! don't let your mouth sully the glory of your actions!"

After a moment she composes herself and adds to Ezren's comment: "My colleague and long-time companion Ezren speaks the truth. The Pathfinder Society operates in all nations. Taldor, Andoran and Cheliax have provided many agents to Her and often congregate as 'factions' when they assemble within our facilities or operate abroad on matters pertinent to their homeland. The Sages here could do something similar with like-minded Pathfinder agents specialized in Osirion matters or those born in Garund who share a homeland or ancestry."

"It seems to me that you are both correct. These two concepts are not mutually exclusive. One need only to improve communication between members and develop better records and archiving capacity. Each sage could still work on individual projects and be supported by scribes to record their weekly progress. One need only find a way to file these reports at a central location each week, be it via magical communication or a network of fast messengers. Independence of thoughts can exist within the structure of an organization, but the leadership must foster, encourage and inspire rather than limit, block and ignore. With members as skilled as the sages, an organization must also provide suitable compensation and motivation to retain their members in the long-term. Otherwise other organizations will see to their comfort and benefit from their expertise."

Thank you GM Aerondor for saving this game. Much appreciated, and if you need me to similarly come in to the rescue at some point just PM me.

"Well met, Diamond Sage. I am Kyra, follower of the Dawnflower, specialized in healing magic."

Paper over it please.

Chronicle: 5
Name: PDK
AKA: Shukara Melkamnet
Faction: Scarab Sages
PFS: # 4456-15
XP: 4
Prestige: 8
Fame: 8
Gold: 2,181 gp
Day job: N/A
Spend: N/A

As everyone gathered around the door, Kyra let the power of the Dawnflower over them:

channel to heal: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4
channel to heal: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7
channel to heal: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

She then closes the rest of their wounds with her wand.

Kyra grabs the lamp, 5-foot steps down, and places it on the entrance statue.

I'm about to move the one in front of me to the south on my next turn. You could 5-ft step diagonally down-left and grab the one off Khargrom's hands and place it down in the statue in front of him (the one without a black dot that hasn't been tried yet)

Kyra steps up to the next statue and moves the lamp one position to her right!

5-ft step; move lamp to her right as shown with second yellow arrow

"Anywhere another lamp hasn't been yet!!" replies Kyra, satisfied that they finally made some progress.

@GM: did you cross the streams?! :) Based on your spoiler way back shouldn't blue ray be landing on the southwest gem engraving?

Did you find a magic dagger earlier in the scenario?

I think we did... bottom of a well if I remember correctly.

Khargrom has the dagger based on this post; we found it in the mouth of an azata.

Kyra walks up to the furthest lamp to her right and then moves the lamp upon the Ruby Sage statue's waiting hand, hoping this is going to do something...

Ezren nods at Kyra's instruction and complies.

[move] Pick up lantern
[move] 5' W

I think I'm out of actions to place it, right? Since you don't get a 5' step in the same round you move I think this is it.

Oh no!! that's the complete opposite Kyra recommended! the lamp that was right in front of Ezren, moved to HIS left, towards the blue dot!!! :P :) :D Not 'left' as in 'West' lol!

"Ezren! move the lamp in front of you to the statue that's to your left! that's the Sapphire Sage! Ray! grab the one that's 15 feet to my right and move it to the next statue this way: that's the Ruby Sage!"

Perception, Mythic, to look for clues on the lamps or statues: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Kyra 5-ft steps to the left, grabs a lantern and moves it to the next statue. (Unless Perception gives her another clue; see map for tentative lamp movement shown by yellow arrow)

Alas I'm playing this pregen which is amazingly low on skills... I will have to use trial and error along with Perception to see if the statues have any clues in their way they've been sculpted, painted, their pose, etc.

Kyra Appraise: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Kyra will remind the rest of the party about the color of each gem.

Hmmm... I guess I had missed the imbedded spoiler within the appraise spoiler that Khargrom first gave us... since Kyra doesn't have arcana or nature, there's no way for her to know anything about the spectrum, but thanks to Khargrom I guess we know the rough color of each gem yes?

Are we aware of a way to manipulate the lamp or refracting surfaces? I feel this is perhaps significant somehow...

Are we supposed to do something with the lights based on the lore we've accumulated thus far?

5-ft step

Kyra casts Bull's Strength on Bossk!!

"Pathfinders! the lights must shine BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW and RED from right to left!! Ezren, Ray and me: let's see if we can move the lamps from one statue to another!! Bossk, Khargrom: keep those statues off our backs!! fight defensively to prevent injuries!!!"

Kyra inspects the four lamps for clues...

Perception, Mythic: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

To be completely honest, I'm lost at what's happening and what we are supposed to do here. There seems to be a lot of moving parts to this... can you provide clarifications and also explain what the various lines are?

Kyra casts Bull's Strength on Bossk!

Religion, Mythic: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 = 17

"One of the three wise men is Nethys, god of magic" points out Kyra, before following the others.

"I am Kyra, priestess of Sarenrae, the Dawnflower"

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Kyra will take a long drink from the fountain too.

Kyra checks out the ciphers.

2nd Mythic Perception: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25

Mythic Perception: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
Mythic Heal: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 1 = 22

Kyra takes a few simple pieces of cloth and begins to bandage the men while her fellow Pathfinders inspect their belongings. "Hold still. Maintain pressure with this piece of silk for the next few days and the wounds should heal nicely."

Kyra Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Kyra follows Bossk! Double Move

Kyra moves next to Bossk and casts a spell of stiffness upon the young one up ahead and to her left.

Hold Person, Will Save DC 16

Yes- he's actually neck to neck with them. But THEY are going to move and attempt a challenge this round, and may well be in the next square at the end of this round, i.e. Khargrom will be exactly one square behind them if they succeed their challenge THIS round, since Khargrom has gone already for this turn. I think we have to race them to the end... one way to see this clearly: squares require move action; black triangle requires standard action, or free action if there's a green checkmark in them! ;)

Kyra follows Khargrom but waits for someone to help her maneuver the cliff's edge.

Double Move for Kyra: she's at the end of Cliff's Edge but she has NOT spent a standard action to do the challenge and exit that square yet. PS: I'm just gonna assume that Yoon is taking double moves as we haven't seen him in a while, so I'll put him next to Kyra.

Kyra whirls up the slope and the narrow pass, aided by Ray and Ezren. She took her move actions in previous rounds to follow those who cleared the obstacles; last two rounds were cleared so she spent her previous rounds following Ray and Ezren. So end of last round she was caught up to Ezren's position.

Current Round: MOVE THROUGH 4th EVENT + CLEAR CHALLENGE TO EXIT SPACE

Quicksand: 'Spot it First', Survival, Mythic Skills: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18

Kyra then points out a patch of quicksand and shows everyone the right way!

Kyra spends 1 MP to Clear The Road and allow all others to pass through the "Quicksand Patch" event automatically. I believe Khargrom, Yoon, Bossk and Ray can now double move to get to Kyra's position. Ezren can do a single move to get to Kyra's postion, but it is unclear to me if he can then take his second move to get through the square occupied by the people we are chasing as they are at the end of that square trying to resolve the challenge.

I misunderstood... I have no acrobatics or climb, so can I change my MP to 'auto success' instead? I wasn't sure how this worked.

Kyra burns a MP pt. to Clear the Road for everyone; not sure if this is how it works, so feel free to retcon/undo any of this, but I'll give this a shot and you let me know if this is what clear the road is meant to be...

Kyra plants her feet solidly at the bottom of the slope, and as everyone runs up the slope past her, she grabs them each by the arm or shoulder and gives them a solid push up the slope so their momentum is increased.

Surprisingly... her muscles appears momentarily bolstered by some mythical force... and a great wind appears to rise... blowing at their backs as they run up the hill!

After everyone's through, the wind picks up so much that it literally picks Kyra off the stony ground, her robes billowing and her feet barely touching the ground, and deposits her at the top of the slope!

She gets the sudden urge to whirl her scimitar in the air under the shining sun. And she does.

Heal, mythic: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 1 = 18 Sorry, I meant to roll it last post but somehow forgot about it.

Pregen Stealth! with Mythic adjust!: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Kyra renews her endure elements after her prayers. As they climb she tries to exhale longer than she inhales.

Fort Kyra: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Unfortunately that was the wrong thing to do and she begins to panic.

Mythic Rest! :)

Kyra is using endure elements; however if this is for something else:

Fort Kyra: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Kyra calls for a halt, her enduring elements spell making the heat bearable but worried about some of the others. "Let us camp here until dawn. I shall pray for the Dawnflower's blessings and be renewed with the rising sun."

The creature has a climb speed, and well knows the area and its limits. It can (and is) taking ten on its climb checks to stay on the wall while damaged.

Just thought I'd mention it as sometimes the Climb DCs are high like in the range of DC 25 and it's not always an auto success by taking 10... but if the cliff is easy like DC 15 or 20 then yeah I'm pretty sure this guy can cling there regardless of dmg inflicted.

I put an elevation view on the map; it appears that Kyra and Khargrom are out of reach of the monster (assuming 15' reach) - please confirm. I think we should all take a 5' step backwards to force it down another 5'

Kyra cast a spell of guidance on Bossk and moves backwards slightly to give room for the warrior. Her scimitar of force takes one last swipe at the creature.

Guidance on Bossk

spiritual weapon, scimitar, prayer: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15
force dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

What the heck is Bossk doing? you're aware that I put Bull's Strength on him right? ya need some throwing axes or javelins man!

Kyra cast a spell of healing and moves up to touch Ray to try to keep him together... her scimitar of force continues to whirl at the beast.

Cure Moderate Wounds on Ray
Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 8) + 4 = 17

spiritual weapon, scimitar, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9
force dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Forgot to add 2 pts. of fire dmg when I critted two rounds ago i.e. via Flame of the Dawnflower ability

Kyra moves up and casts a spell of strength upon the half-orc warrior! her scimitar of force continues its tireless work.

Casting Bull's Strength on Bossk: +4 STR

spiritual weapon, scimitar, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25
force dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
