Larisa Doe's page

Larisa spits on the ground st the mention of the Black Goat. "Nothing good came from this, whatever you were to be sacrificed too give thanks to the good gods you are here now." She glowers, looking at the broken wall. "If the Black Goat was involved whatever emerged from this place is an abomination to all living things."

Does Connor still have those hunter spells that let him get a 3d image of a track's maker?

Live!

LIVE!

On a side note, backed the nxt Owlcat game. Fingers crossed they've learned from Kingmaker,

Sounds like a plan to me.

Surprised pikachu face.exe

Oh wow, that must be a house rule I've internalized over the years...

Scrolls all take one round to use regardless of 5he cast time of the spell since they are spell completion items.

Aldo having a con of one doesn't stop being raised as the gon will be set to 1. You only take a con drop if you can't take the two negative levels.

What if we used the Restoration scroll to wake up up so you can shift, between that, the +4 from Treat Poison and getting your Con back might help?

Zeke has a scroll of raise dead, don't forget that we also found a scroll of restoration

....
Actually I'm just gonna take some executive action and use that now since I'm pretty sure Larisa is the only other person capable of activating it right now.

Does anyone have the Heal skill? We can use it to treat poison before Veronica dies?

Treat Poison
To treat poison means to tend to a single character who has been poisoned and who is going to take more damage from the poison (or suffer some other effect). Every time the poisoned character makes a saving throw against the poison, you make a Heal check. If your Heal check exceeds the DC of the poison, the character receives a +4 competence bonus on his saving throw against the poison.

Action/Time: 1 standard action.

Wish I had the foresight to buy antidotes

"Veronica no!" Larissa fires a volley into the dragon over Veronica.

Hey sorry, my car's died and the new job is pretty hectic. A bit distracted right now, will try post in a couple days.

Round 1
Larisa casts a spell on herself as the dragons approach, calling on Erastile to guide her aim as she focuses on the lead dragon.
Cast Divine favour, +1 attack and damage. Move action study targe

Round 2
As the dragons swoop down to assault the party Larisa channels the power of Erastil into her weapon, imbuing it with destructive energy before unleashing a barrage of arrows at the leading dragon. Swift action Bane Dragon 4/5 rounds

Dm how far away are the dragons?

Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Larisa scowls as she looks across the water, tightening her grip on her bow.

Survival: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

Larisa follows behind the party, looking for signs of civilised activity but only finding barren dirt. "I don't like it," She murmurs, patting Cinder's neck softly. "But we can't ford the river with horses. I agree, let's be swift. I'll cross last" With a suspicion glare at the Raven she dismounts and pulls out her bow as she waits for Whitetalon to ferry her across, loselly nocking an arrow.

Toss a coin to your king?

Just a party reminder, there's a sidequest about these ruins back in New Hope.

"Seems a shame to waste the meat." Larisa says to herself as mounts up, looking over at the dead mastodon.

After some pondering going to take another level of Fighter, also after talking with the DM to make things easier I'll be replacing Leadership so Kess will depart as mysteriously as she arrived.

Hmm, going to have to ponder this one for a bit. Inquisitor or Fighter level.. so tempting

Larisa calmy draws her bow nocking cold iron arrows, firing on the fleeing form of the quickling, studying it's form.

Larisa shakes her head,the blush fading from her cheeks as she blinks in a daze. It only takes a heartbeat for the unfolding battle to register to her senses before a frustrated growl slips from her lips and she draws aim on the vine plant, unloading a stream of arrows. Energy crackles around her arrows as she imbues them with bane, maintaining her balance as she kicks off the vines.

Second that welp
A slight blush heats her cheeks as Larisa watches the fey woman, distracting her.

Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Larisa draws her weapon but pauses at the fey woman's sheer audacity.

"There is nothing for us out here, let's see what's waiting for us at the top of the tower." Larissa says, heading towards the stairs, her bow at the ready.

*Happy trumpets*
Guess who has their Bachelors of Nursing! Years of study finally paid off WOOOOH

Sorry for the vanishing act, state finals are coming up and this completely fell of my radar, who knew the culmination of a degree would be so stressful?

Larisa takes the opportunity to cast a spell, invoking Erastil to grant her sight as she takes a moment to check over the gory wound in her side.
Cast See Invisibilty, 2/3 2nd level spell slots left. 37/64 HP

"Do we stay and fight the bird or take shelter indoors?" She asks, shading her eyes against the sun as she looks up.

Larisa draws a cold iron arrow from her quiver, nocking it with a steely anger blazing in her eyes as she quickly looks at Connor's wound, the energy around her bow crackling as it changes.

"Of course, this place is a menagerie of exotic creatures." Larisa says drly, studying the mastodon.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
"Careful, there's movement in the walls." She notes for the party, cocking her head slightly as she draw she bow, firing on the mastodon.

Larissa looks up at the wall, thinking the proposal over. "If we hand you some rope do you think you could find somewhere to fasten it?" She says to Seres, cautiously releasing the tension on her bow.

Yeah, it's an important part of her character so made sure it was represented!

Without a clear target Larisa draws her bow and patiently waits for the Bulette to surface.

Larisa steps to the side to open up a lane for Connor, focusing on the Bulette before firing a single arrow with deadly precision.

Larissa follows close behind Veronica, shooting a glance at Seres. "Can't hurt, lumbering into an old abandoned keep just seems like the perfect way to get ambushed to me."

Well, bugger. We're galavanting around the countryside, poor Sanctuary between this and the riot last turn looks like that name's ironic.

Monster Attack (Settlement, Continuous): A monster (or group of monsters) attacks the kingdom. The GM picks a claimed hex in the kingdom in which the monster is active. The CR of the monster encounter is equal to the party's APL + 1d4 — 1. You can personally deal with the monster (earning XP and treasure normally for your efforts) or succeed at a Stability check to eliminate it (which doesn't affect you or the kingdom's statistics). If the monster is not defeated this turn, Unrest increases by 4. If the kingdom's Unrest is 5 or higher, the monster's hex becomes unclaimed—this is in addition to losing control of hexes in the Upkeep phase because of the kingdom's high Unrest score.
CR: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Okay so Sanctuary is attacked by a CR 10 Creature, that's not nothing.
Stability DC 48: 1d20 + 51 ⇒ (12) + 51 = 63 Well our Kindgom kills it.

So here's my rundown of what happens, if the DM will forgive my hijacking of the narrative.

As Erastus begins the people of the Lake Barony still chewing over the debates of the previous month turn their attention outwards, committing that passionate energy to the frontier. Across the Kamelands signs of human occupation spread as a plethora of farming communities appear, made up of Erastil's faithful who disagreed with the industrialization of the kingdom. The sounds of furious construction and the establishment of a long awaited pier lightens the heart of many mercantile interests in New Hope as the new pier quickly becomes a welcome edition to the burgeoning city's economy.

But just as the lords of the Barony breath a sigh of relief, startling news comes up from Sanctuary. Apparently late in the night a hideous howl emanated from the refurbished Caster's Tower, a pulse of dark magic washing out from the stone itself. Fortunately due to the high tensions in the area the local garrison was available at moments notice, as were faithful of Erastil. Together they came to the aid of the embattled Arcane scholars within the tower who were holding back an invisible beast that was wreaking havoc on them. In a display of comradery the three factions join forces and after a frantic fight slew the monster, Erastil's grace saving many lives despite grievous wounds being suffered by many all around.

In the aftermath the town seemed to put aside differences as the Arcane scholars sent a message to the capital, hoping it would get passed onto the Magister. The wizard incharge of their research into the magic of Candelmere identified the creature as a Spawn of Yog-Sothoth, but more disturbingly was that it shouldn't have been able to cross over into the prime after Candelmere had been hallowed. His report contained many theories, the preeminent being that the Theocracy had somehow sent an infiltrator to Candelmere to open the way for the monster. Either way, he finished his report with a request for more aid and a bolstering of local forces incase of a more substantial breach.

Larisa eyes Skybolt enviously, watching as Seres tests the draw. "Then it is also beyond me." She says, clearly disappointed. "Perhaps we can find a way around it in the future, for now maybe Connor should keep it on him."

Maybe once we've returned to Civilisation I'll have to look as a belt of bull's strength as well

Yeah unfortunately Larisa has noodle arms :(

This will return, soon.
