Lady Sackville's page

It's ranged touch so that should be a hit unless he is hiding a +5 ring of protection under his vest...nice job on the 36 damage. That might just do it. 69 points on the Magister...
Edit: Of course this assumes he doesn't have fire protection via spell/ring/or innately. We will see.

And roll the 8d6 damage if you confirm or 4d6 if you don't.
That went about as expected.
So far my luck has been that Doug has never failed a save vs. any of my characters abilities or spells. Command did work against Bref one time though so at least I know I can probably kill a few of you...woe is me...

I agree with the ...uh...Lady?.

He is the hottest drag queen this side of Branderscar Prison!

Lady Sackville is casting Hold Person in the surprise round since we only have a standard action. He plans to do the same thing in the next round so that Edmin can do his duty and kill the magister, who is hopefully helpless and doesn't make a sound. Using the exploding goblin skull could alert half of the tower, but if we want him to hold it I don't care, just don't hit it.

As far as holding an action for the other hold person, why chance it, just cast the spell. Technically you couldn't be sure of the hold until his turn, so if he cries out and then you cast we still lose the element of total silence. I can cast Hold Person 5 more times so we don't really need to hold onto yours. I would much rather make him do two saves in the surprise round to give us a better chance of one of them taking hold of his mind vs. hoarding the resource when we must make sure he is taken out as quickly and silently as possible.

Two hold person's and an Axe...in the suprise round.

As Cellia approaches the Magister shadows slowly grow and swirl around Lady Sackville.

Activate Shadow Armor...just in case. Is a Supernatural ability and shouldn't require any vocal.

Zy or Edmin, are you guys out there? I think we are waiting on you guys to finish the setup...I assume...or are we waiting on Doug?

As soon as the object is solidly in your hands begin to cast Detect Magic.
Cellia and I will do the same. You can feel the textile nature of the object and you will begin to sense the item. It will feel quite odd at first and then more normal. We can all review the item and discuss what we have found together. Perhaps together we can finally determine what it really is.

Basically the Lady is offering an assist from the two of us...although we won't be casting detect magic.

Lady Sackville peers out of her blindfold, a feral grin coming over her and nods to Edmin and Zimu...he prepares to cast his spell as Edmin moves up behind him, expecting him to draw his weapon as he brings out the statuette and they all get ready to give the Magister everything they have...

As Cellia approaches the mage the blindfolded Lady Sackille brings up the scented kerchief to her nose before stating,
Don't worry Magister, Cellia has done this before, although we haven't had much success with identifying it. Reviewing it without the blindfold initially is quite disconcerting.
Of course we didn't have a mage of your skill to review the item before this.
In fact if you are successful I am inclined to leave Cellia with you for a few weeks to learn what she can from you before returning to my side. I hope this wouldn't be too much of an inconvenience?

There is an obvious undercurrent of Cellia being offered to the Magister if he can help us identify this extremely rare object.

This is an attempt to assist in the bluff or diplomacy. 1d20 ⇒ 11 +12 diplomacy or +6 bluff.

Do I see the Golem in the room or something like a big sheet that might be hiding it?

Lady Sackville suddenly stops and turns on the Magister, causing him to almost bump into her, What type of sensitive things are going on? You can't mention such a thing to a lady and not tell us something about it, you have peaked my interest.

Really Cellia, what does it matter! As with all men they are probably drunk and off having a good time somewhere else! We are here to see the magister, not worry about common soldiers.

The lady raises her scented kerchief to her nose to mask the smell of the courtyard.
