Kyra - Pregen's page

Likewise, Kyra was a level 7 pregen.

Kyra was hoping to take one of them alive to ask exactly those questions

Congrats, everyone -- and sorry I wasn't more active.

Scimitar raised high, Kyra calls down the Dawnflower's favor as she charges forward to Riley's aid, moving to flank the demon across from Adaxis.

Casting Prayer: All allies get a +1 luck bonus to attacks, damage, saves and skill checks; all enemies get -1 to same.

Init: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

"Our infiltrators and poisoners, it appears," Kyra agrees, drawing her scimitar as she follows the others out. "If possible, try to take at least one alive so we can question it."

Move that roll to Lady Vaelia, then.

Argh, sorry for the slow posting again. Deadline crunch at work.

Kyra gratefully takes the scroll Ajax offers. "Thank you; Dawnflower willing, I may put this to good use..."

After reading the scroll she approaches Magora and Darchanna. "My esteemed colleague has the right of it, Lady; Mendev will need the aid of all of us to contain the demon hordes until the Wardstones can be reinforced..."

Diplomacy(Darchanna): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Perception(After the poisoning if it happens): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Init: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19

Kyra's head snaps around at Adaxis' warning, and she reaches for the holy symbol on her chest.

Lifting it high, she calls out in challenge. "Foul servants of death and darkness, you have no place here! In the name of the Dawnflower, BEGONE!"

Channel Positive Energy, 4d6+7, will save DC 15 for half damage, channel resistance does not apply
Channel energy: 4d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 6) + 7 = 21

Kyra follows the group down, drawing her blade as she brings up the rear.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Kyra holds the empty vial up to the light. "... Oh, this is not good..."

For reference, how lethal is taggit poison? Does one vial's worth contain enough to kill one person or the entire banquet?

Kyra frowns. "I'm not certain splitting up is the wisest choice, but we've a lot of ground to cover and little time to do so. Good luck, and call out immediately if you're attacked."

With that, she turns to Riley. "Shall we be on our way, then?"

Kyra's interpretation would be to investigate and deal with the situation if it can be done discreetly, contain and alert the Major if not.

Kyra frowns as she hears the Major's words. "When I asked the Dawnflower for guidance this evening She graced me with a vision of demons and undead attacking the feast. This may be the precursor to that attack; we will all need to be on our guard..."

She nods. "Should we encounter something worth reporting, where shall we find you?"

If that's allowed I'll add it to Lady Dryanna's rolls then.

From her seat next to Magora, Kyra nods. "My colleague has the right of it," she adds. "My meditations of late have been plagued with visions of demons attacking, and I suspect I'm not the only servant of the gods who is receiving these warnings. I fear the time approaches when all must stand together, or be brought down one by one..."

Giving it one more shot, Diplomacy Aid Other to Magora
Diplomacy Aid Other: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Sorry, just can't come up with anything to say..

Kyra maintains her polite smile although she winces inwardly. Well, she knew this would be a tough sell to begin with...

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Aaand the dice continue to dislike me, apparently. Ah well.

Kyra could ask, but it'd be wise to wait for the guard captain's permission before sneaking onto the roof armed with a crossbow. It's the kind of thing they're trained to take poorly, after all...

Time: Prior to the ball's beginning

Kyra's face seems troubled when she rejoins the group after her prayers. "The Dawnflower saw fit to grant me guidance, but not regarding the ambassador -- instead, She forewarns me that the ball will likely be attacked by demons and undead. Keep on your guard, everyone -- and be prepared to defend the other guests."

Time: At the ball, mingling

Kyra times her approach to the ambassador with care, hoping to catch him in a good mood. "Ambassador Salhar, Dawnflower's Blessing be upon you. You honor us all with your presence."

I'd like to know the outcome of that Divination spell so Kyra can keep that guidance in mind when she talks to the Ambassador.

Sorry, it's been a week from almost literal hell so I haven't been able to post as much as I'd have liked.

Timeskip - prior to the ball:
Kyra spends some time in repose before the altar in the Dawnflower's temple, quietly meditating and praying for Sarenrae's guidance. Keeping the name and image of Ambassador Salhar clear in her mind she beseeches her patron deity to show her the path that will lead him to look favorably on their request.

Cast: Divination, L4 spell. I'll get up a list of currently prepared spells when I get home.

Timeskip - at the ball

Kyra exchanges polite greetings with Blakros and thanks him once again for his assistance, then accompanies the guard captain as he shows them around the place, showing sincere interest in the nature of his tasks and what he has to say.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Is there enough time to prepare and cast Divination before we have to be in attendance at the ball?

Kyra frowns as she ponders Ajax' request. "I can entreat the Dawnflower to bestow some of Her grace upon you, but Her favor would last only for a few minutes at most and I do not think casting spells in plain sight during the ball would be very appreciated..."

Sorting through the cleric spell list, Eagle's Splendor lasts one minute per level (so 7 minutes), Prayer lasts one round per caster level. I don't think either of those is a viable option for the ball, but I haven't played a caster in a long time and if anyone can think of a spell that /would/ help that I'm overlooking, I'd appreciate suggestions.

Edit: thought of something.

She considers some more, then looks to Magora. "Alternately, I can ask the Dawnflower's wisdom to guide us in how we might best approach Ambassador Salhar and convince him to listen to his rational intellect rather than his dislike of us."

Divination is a level 4 cleric spell, yielding "a useful piece of advice in reply to a question concerning a specific goal, event or activity that is to occur within one week" link. I figure "what would be the most effective approach to convince Ambassador Salhar to aid our cause?" is specific enough, but DM's call...

Kyra looks dubiously at Magora and Tyr. "You're certain? I admit I don't know much about him but he seems to have a great deal of influence in the military..."

Right, posted. Sorry it took a bit longer than intended but other stuff got sort of intense unexpectedly.

Finally got around to putting her up. Default L7 Kyra in Herolab portfolio

Kyra nods. "Seems straightforward enough; mingle with the nobles, impress them with stories of our heroics, convince them to support the crusade, keep an eye out for trouble. Should be doable."

She thinks for a moment. "Dilettantes being dilettantes, some of them are likely to be fishing for what they hope are juicy rumors or secrets. I don't suppose there's anything that's about to be declassified shortly anyway that we could offer them?"
