No Day Job. Applying to #64554-9 Sorry for my ineffectiveness.
"Did someone say something? What's going on up there?" Kyra shuffles her way forward, stepping to the side into a chamber with a spiral staircase.
Kyra follows Chochok into the room and offers up a call to Sarenrae, "Bring down your blessed light to vanquish the undead!"
Kyra follows after everyone, ready to provide healing.
Yeah - I'm a teacher 10 months out of the year and work installing cabinets in the summer. Right now, we have a contract with UNR to install in the new grad student housing that is going up. I'd stop, but we are trying to save up for a down payment for a house and this UNR job is paying prevailing wage - much better than what my father-in-law (it's his cabinet business) usually pays. Anyways, it's just been more exhausting than usual this year and I've just been dead tired when I get home, and then try to entertain my sons to give my wife a little break.
Kyra shakes her head violently, as if coming out from some sort of fever-dream. "Chochok, are you really going to..? Nevermind." She follows Ravaan.
Kyra's eyes go wide at the sight of the iron snake. "Weapons and spells? Well, what's left to hit it with?" she asks out loud more to herself than to anyone else in the party.
When Kyra's turn arrives, she will cast shield of faith on Arnthoth.
"I can't argue with your logic there, Keno. There may be something else in here." Kyra moves towards one of the walls and studies the runes.
"These certainly are interesting, are they not?" she asks the others.
Kyra draws her scimitar and enters the small room. She takes hold of her holy symbol and calls out, "By the light of the Dawnflower, I ask that you show yourself."
"What?" Kyra asks, a little too loudly.
Kyra begins to prepare herself to channel positive energy to try and harm the skeleton, but then Arnthoth smashes the thing to dust. "Well done, Arnthoth. Surely the dawnflower guided your hand in your efforts. Praise be unto her." She stretches her arms upward briefly.
Kyra follows along, amazed at the efficiency of her fellows. "What a strange lock. Keep it up Arnthoth - I think you're our best bet to deal with it."
Kyra focuses on her holy symbol and cries out, "Sarenrae, beautiful dawnflower! Bless me and my companions this day!"
Kyra follows Raavan's direction and readies herself with her scimitar in one hand and her holy symbol in the other. "Just in case - wouldn't want to be caught unawares. Sarenrae wouldn't appreciate that," she says to anyone giving her a look.
Kyra backs away. "Y-yes, I believe you are right, Raaavan."
Kyra inches closer to one of the prone bodies. She shoots a look at the others, "Do you suppose these might be living?" She pokes one of the bodies carefully on the shoulder. "Hey, wake up."
Kyra blinks her eyes a little bit as she fights off being dazed. "Yowza!" "Okay... so what do you think we do with these feathers?" she asks of the group, though not really expecting a reply. "Just seems a little odd, but maybe not." She knocks on the door behind her, "Should we try this way?" She turns and opens the door.
"Whoah! Something's up with this statue!"
"Ah yes, Ravaan has it correct. The ancient Thassalonian goddess Lissala." Kyra inches closer to the statue to examine it. She goes so far as to touch the statue to feel the green oxidation with her fingers.
Kyra stands at the rear with her scimitar in one hand and her holy symbol in the other, ready to act.
Kyra draws her scimitar and casts Bless
Kyra makes her way forward into the hallway, stopping to examine the body in the first alcove. She pokes and prods and does her best to determine if the wrappings around the bodies have been disturbed at all.
She also thinks about whether there might by any religious significance to the method of wrapping the linen.
Kyra uncrosses her arms and leans over Keno. "My dear sir, I only mean that in the grand scheme of our existence, the knowledge one can have of the Dawnflower's ever loving grace is the only essential knowledge. I care not about other gods." She takes hold of her holy symbol and closes her eyes reverently.
Kyra takes a close look at the features of the room.
"Hmm, I feel that this has some importance, but if it doesn't concern Sarenrae, then it's hardly worth knowing about, right?" Kyra folds her arms as if satisfied with her lack of understanding. She takes a closer look at the carving on the floor in the chamber. Bending down on one knee, she places a hand in the carving, tracing the outlines and trying to understand what the image may be.
"Oh, well... seems this way is sealed. Okay, um... Obviously the scrawling means we should go left! Yes, that's the ticket..."
Kyra covers her mouth to keep the dust out. She thinks over the scrawling, but is unsure of its meaning. "I agree with you Raaavan, I say we try the right way, and hope that it is not wrong. Otherwise, left is right - then where are we?" The cleric steps forward to the doors on the right-hand side of the chamber and opens them.
When I made my animal companion for Desmond, I went by the stats that are available in the Druid section of the CRB. I'm not sure if the issue may be that Herolabs is using the stats from the Bestiary (I have no idea if there are any differences between what is in the Bestiary vs. CRB) I thought you treat the save mods the same way as a character: Ability Mod + Save Mod + any special things. But yeah, wolf starting intelligence is 2.
Kyra takes a knee as she offers a quick prayer, clasping her holy symbol in her hand.
"Oh Sarenrae, the Dawnflower! We thank thee at this time for bringing us victory against this foul creature. Please continue to watch over us this day." As she rises she seeks out Keno, "Thank you for your prodigious use of your crossbow. And you Raavan - quite incisive work with those incisors." She brushes herself off. "Well now, I feel much better. Which way shall we go?"
Kyra feels a warmth wash over her as Keno provides her with some much-needed guidance. "Thank you kindly," she calls back as she draws her scimitar. She takes a careful step to the side of the creature, if possible to allow others to join the melee.
"I am here to serve, and will serve wherever you feel I may be most effective, Dawnflower willing." Kyra nods her head slightly as takes her place in the march.
Thanks, and sorry - life has just been a little crazy.
The Kelishite woman adorned in the robes of Sarenrae suddenly breaks her silence, "Apologies my dear fellows... but the desecration of the dead has just left me speechless. This thief simply must be caught." After sizing up her fellow Pathfinders, Kyra decides to keep near the front.
Sorry, I don't know if I'll have my cleric put together until this weekend. Things have just gotten a little busy. Sunday at the latest.
Okay. One last question - does beginner box have the favored class HP/Skill point? I just want to make sure I didn't miss it, but I don't think it allows for that.
So, I decided to keep Kyra fairly intact. I'll use the attribute arrays you've provided, but I like the Sarenrae stuff better than what the other gods provided in the beginner box material. I wasn't exactly clear with the Hero Labs what the starting wealth is - I'm guessing it's the average wealth for the class?
Nice, I can get behind that.
I did download the herolab starter edition on my home computer. Pretty cool stuff - it's interesting to try and work with this limited set of choices. So, 15-point buy, or do you want us to roll for numbers on here?
I haven't been able to try out the hero labs thing. But quick question - I'm guessing that BB goes with a 15 point buy - is that correct? I may just make up a cleric and have you 'convert' it as needed, GM.
Yeah, I'm all for sticking with this group for something else. I'll stick with a cleric, even though I pretty much sucked with Kyra. I'll have to check out the herolabs creator for these beginner box characters.
"Valeros!" Kyra rushes to the fighter's side and touches him on the shoulder, taking her holy symbol in her other hand. "Oh Heavenly Sarenrae! I ask that you protect this brave man from evil. Bless him with the warmth of the Dawnflower!"
Kyra moves forward, joining Valeros at the mouth of the cave. "Well, I guess this is where all of the stolen treasure from Sandpoint is being kept. I say we proceed cautiously."
Kyra keeps eye contact with Merisiel. "And how often did you fall unconscious to our foes? Did not the Dawnflower see fit to give Valeros and I the brunt of the attack from those skeletons?" Kyra's voice grows louder, spittle forming at the corners of her mouth. "Oh yes, you did get burned a little back in the chamber with the talking statues. But that was because of your lack of faith - you did not show proper respect when it was asked for. No - do not take your own foolishness as a sign of the diminishing of Sarenrae's power." With that, Kyra makes her way around the corner to the base of the stairs.
Kyra nods, "I do think it's wise for us to rest. Ideally, I would need a full 8 hours' worth of rest to regain my faculties. Merisiel, if you are okay with taking watch, I greatly appreciate it. Valeros, as you still seem to be wounded, allow me to try and heal you some more - my healing energy will be spent for the day, but I'll be back to full curing faculties after resting."
Kyra stands up and dusts the dirt off her. "Ugh, those skeletons were nasty!" She checks her gear. "Everything seems to be in place..." She takes a look at Valeros. "Oh my, you seem to be a little worse for wear, and I'm not feeling that great either. I believe another prayer is in order." She again holds tight to her holy symbol, closes her eyes and offers a silent prayer to Sarenrae.
She looks to her companions. "Listen, before we face this dragon, I should offer up another prayer. I know a prayer of protection. It will offer us a boon against evil. However, the duration is limited. I will be sure to offer this prayer before any fighting breaks out."
