Leira's page

Hi! How is everyone doing? :)

Did you ever finished the chronicles Sid?

I was looking through Arbiscar chronicles and I have some marked for Giantslayer but I cannot find the actual chronicles nor I have the sessions reported in Organized Play.

As long as I know you are free to assign them to different characters. There is a special chronicle that allows you to enlarge person yourself once a day and has additional powers if you assign the chronicles to the same character. So there is incentive to assign to the same character, but it's not mandatory.

You can assign chronicles to a character that still does not have the level to receive it. The chronicle is hold and you have to automatically apply it once the character reaches that level.

And that was the end post for Leira!

I would be eager to receive sheets for the modules I played with you: books 3, 4, 5 and 6. Please SLOW track!

It seems the level range is the following Dolgrym:
“Battle of Bloodmarch Hill” 2–4
“The Hill Giant’s Pledge” 5–7
“Forge of the Giant God” 9–11
“Ice Tomb of the Giant Queen” 11–13
“Anvil of Fire” 14–16
“Shadow of the Storm Tyrant” 15–17

I would like to assign the chronicles to this character:
134452-5 Arbiscar

Thanks a lot!

After Mavzir teleports the heroes back to Trunau, Leira is eager to inform everyone their world is finally free of the giant menace. She does celebrate having a drinking contest with Dolgrym and Zavier in the Longhose.

The Trunau girl spends a few months with her family. Her half-sister Sarah has become a ground up woman and she has taken the reins of their mother’s magical shop. Erik has advanced to the ranks of Captain of Trunau’s guard after Rodrik Grath’s death. He and Kurst have good plans to reinforce the village defenses.

Things are good, but Leira is just not the same she once was. She spends more and more time visiting the tomb of her mother Aliana who died during Trunau’s siege, and she increasingly feels she does not belong here anymore. In time, Leira decides to look for her own identity.

Now a woman, she looks for the roots of her father’s family, her grandmother Leira Shaynanti and her half-orc father Olog. Following Droja’s divinations, she traces back her line to the Black Sun orc tribe. Her grandfather, the mighty shaman Blork Thuul is no more. But after a brutal fight in which Leira’s orcish blood magic is clearly recognized, enlarging to a giant size and bursting fire around, she defeats the current leader, her cousin Krun Thuul.

Accepted into the tribe, Leira takes Krun for a partner and together they strengthen the position of the Dark Sun tribe, ensuring a durable peace between Trunau and the orcs. Joining forces to fight the orc-hating New Sun Avengers of Lastwall who killed her father, Leira and Krun are unexpectedly faced with the collapse of Lastwall itself in 4719 AR.

Founding a large saga of strong half-orcs, Leira continued her fight, joining the forces of orcs and humans to fight together against the prowling undead armies of Tar-Baphon, stopping them before they could set a foot in Belkzen. Even today, it is not rare to spot the towering figure of a giant blond woman of orcish blood sweeping the undead hordes in the battlefield with fire and falchion, holding the new line that, to great sacrifice, confines the not-dead ones in the Gravelands.

I loved what you did there Sid, making Mavzir get finally its own personality aside of his master!! :D

Are we having PFS chronicles issued for the AP? I noticed I have for the second book from my GM in that time, but not for the last 3 books. It would be a nice token for memories to have, but nothing biggie.

I still plan to post something to finish Leira's story arc, but need some time to settle and write.

Leira smiles "That would be great, Zavier. Perhaps now that the giants menace has been averted I have the time to explore the ancestors of my blood and maybe get to know the orc side of the family"

And then chuckles at the image of the giant Zavier and a possible wife, curious to know how the mighty woman might be.

"Yes, let's celebrate Dolgrym!" and turning back to Sid "What are your plans now? Can you bring us back to Trunau or some other city, Sid?"

"Dolgrym the Tyrant Slayer" Leira smiles also not believing the war with the giants is done.

She descends to the roof of the tower to pick the orb of red dragonkind "This should be the orb of dragon control Naximarra told us about... what we could do with this is grand..."

Thanks a lot for GMing Daniel! It is a time consuming and often not thanked enough task. I am very grateful you have always found a way for our crazy ideas to work and have a large impact in the development of the campaign. It was satisfying :)

It has been great to play with you all, thanks for accepting Leira into the group. She had to go through 3 different groups but she finally managed to finish Giantslayer! Which makes it the first time I play a whole AP from level 1 to the end! Extra credit for you all!

I am also interested to see where everyone goes from here on. I do not have an idea for where I want to end with Leira. When I made her initially, I thought she would be fighting more orc tribes and discover her orc side of the family but the adventure did not go as much in that direction as I expected for an adventure set in Belkzen. Maybe this is the time for her to go in that direction.

"Yay!" Leira raises her falchion in a gesture of satisfaction as both enemies crash against the sinking fortress.

"We have conjured the menace!" her eyes open wide and shiny but full with tears "We have won!"

With the party well protected and Zavier having control over the Tyrant, Leira jumps forward after the dragon walking in the air to reach it "For Trunau!!!"

She attempts a Dazing Assault attack against the dragon's temple.

Apologies, I forgot he was staggered

The dragon casts a spell at Gallant. (ray of enfeeblement - DC15)

Block 3 your actions

No worries, I just do not want Zavier to die now we are that close to victory! :)

Oh, and I think Gallant is also under the holy aura, if the dragon is evil he needs to defeat his Spell Resistance 25 from the spell!

Unless Volstus is immune to mind-affecting or something similar, he is staggered 1 round from Leira's spell despite he made the save and thus only one falcata attack for Zavier to suffer (although he can still take AoOs so maybe two are hitting)

Seeing the giant might, Leira steps forward and raises a small reliquary in her hands praising protection to the gods "Belkzen will never be for the giants!"

A burst of energy envelopes everyone 20' around the girl with a protective holy aura.

Wow! What a turn Sid! That is Karzoug level might :)

Leira shivers as the beams break and the giant makes its appearance with style. Now that the giant boss is there she does not feel that cocky anymore "My friends... if we do not see each other after this... it has been a pleasure fighting along with you"

Feeling herself backed by the power of giants in her orcish blood, Leira walks forward "We will not go without a fight Tyrant!"

When at 30' of giant and dragon, she casts waves of ecstasy hitting both of them with the magic.

Short after disarming the trap, Leira opens the chest to find the big cache "Guys... this must be the helm of the Stormlord himself..." she pulls it up and shows it as a trophy.

Then takes a fist of coins and smiles "This can be no other than the treasure of the Storm Tyrant himself. He must be nearby"

She looks around, trying to find out "Where are you? Are you that a coward? We have your fortress, and now we have your coin. Will you not come to defend it?"

"Uh, wait a second, there is something here..." Leira quickly takes the thief tools from her belt and tries to secure the chest before opening it.
Disable Device: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33

No worries Daniel, get well!

To improve the chances of finding anything hidden here, Leira uses expensive ointments to enhance her vision, casting true seeing to see if there is any illusion or invisible thing in the room.

After checking the cupboards and chest, she points to the corridor to the south "It seems that is the only way forward. Shall we?"

Before leaving the room, she grows in size activating the power of giants.

"Interesting..." Leira considers the amulet against his own, but in the end it is same as hers, and so she offers it to the others "I find this will give you a cool earthy style Dolgrym" the young girl appreciates with a smile.

She then heads up with the party and observes the paintings of birds and giantesses "Mmmm... I am not sure I wanted to see this..."

The young girl approaches the furniture and opens the cupboards and chest, trying to learn something more about the Storm Tyrant or get some of his treasures.

Leira let's the bird fall. She looks down observing how it crashes against the roof.

Then she turns towards the tower it came from "The roc seemed to live there. Let's have a quick look"

Leira registers the room and the nest. F51
Perception (darkvision): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

"There are a set of stairs here going up" to F55 next?

Leira waits a bit to see if Sid is controlling the roc with his magic, but after a moment wait resolves to go in and try end the bird's life "You should have left the Storm Tyrant birdie!" she moves in giving a reckless vital strike with her falchion.

I think we have all rolled, we are waiting on the Roc, aren't we?

Leira tries to be prudent and avoid attacks of opportunity, she first casts hellfire ray on the oversized bird, then climbs up walking in the air to just by the roc's reach "Fly away bird! We are dangerous people!" to rays of crackling flames emerge from her hands flying the distance to strike on the roc!

I removed an hour from all the spells duration because of our flight ;)

"This will retire this engine of war for a long time at the least, and probably the weakest of our enemies perished in the landing, or are having trouble with the water of the lake, at least those in the lower levels" Leira looks up "We should profit the confusion to go up and make sure the Storm Tyrant is not a menace to Golarion and Trunau"

I think I will be able to end leveling Leira tomorrow.

As the castle crashes, Leira holds herself against the engine with all the strength. She falls abruptly and rolls at some point but tries to recover as fast as possible.

"Oh! Wow! That was incredible!" she shouts excitedly "Good work Sid!"

She looks towards the doors "And good work you also protecting us!"

"Good strike Zavier!" Leira shouts while still trying to control the castle flight "That dinosaur is mighty impressive Dolgrym!"

Take your well deserved time GM, try with something refreshing.

I think we are waiting for Zavier to go in Initiative anyway.

Indeed, Leira focuses her concentration on maintaining control of the castle "Oh boys! Be careful with those sharp toothed heads!"

Understandable ramble IMHO.

I do not have a strong opinion in the topic though. While I am sure all of the stuff has a reality foundation, Jessica Price does not stand high in my honorability and reputation scale and I tend to shy away and mark distance with people with similar personalities because they are always going to find something to hurt you with sooner or later.

All my support to the people fired and those who have been discriminated.

On the other side, I am an European and your problems in the USA sometimes seem strange in addition to far from me. In my country 40% of young people has no access to a job, I am not talking about stable, that is a luxury, I am just saying a job, whatever it is. Which makes for many of us depend on our parents to live with dignity (it happens to me even earning way over the average salary).

So yes, trans rights, equality and all, I am for it, but my reality is people struggles to have a place where to live and earn money to pay the electricity and heating system bills.

K. dungeoneering (untrained): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13
"What's that noise now?" asks Leira worriedly.

According to the map, the squares are 15x15, so I guess that will be a yes Dolgrym

"Did you feel that Sid? It is as if someone was trying to take control" Leira focuses her mystery magic trying to drive the castle to destination "I think we broke through, but we will need more time. Zavier, Dolgrym, can you buy us 10 more minutes?!"
UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35
UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20
UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18
UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29

"Oh gosh, this is unnerving, I am going to need a full month of relax at a health resort after this..."

Leira tries her best at helping to control the flying fortress "Hmmm... Can anyone tell me if we are getting close to destination?!"
UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36
UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

So, if nothing else happens, we go forward to land the flying fortress, isn't it? :)

Leira turns her head just in time for the bloodshed not to splash her thin pale face "You are our guardian Gallant. I think you have fully recovered your strength and the favor of your goddess"

Other than that, the tattooed girl keeps controlling the engine with Sid unless there is some other clear danger coming in.

Leira has no align weapon spell, an oversight from my part, sorry. She has a single oil of bless weapon left to offer, just like Sid.

If you know about any wizard 3rd level (or lower) conjuration or 4th level (or lower) evocation spell that can help, she can replicate them with her Oracle Curse as if using shadow conjuration/evocation.

"Choke them to death Zavier, their callus will not assist them against that!" Leira tries to help with advice if not with fists.

"Oh no!" Leira assists astonished as the daemon tears through Gallant, but she focuses in maintaining the castle flying towards their desired destination.

Let's hope it goes softer than expected! I had a terrible night with the second. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Initiative, best of: 3d20 ⇒ (1, 6, 13) = 20 +4

"Crucidaemons!" exclaims Leira while trying to hold control of the flying structure "Yes, you are going to need silvery good weapons, and try to avoid energy, specially acid. Be warned they have resistance to magic"

So, roll initiative?

Despite she is busy, Leira open her eyes wide as she tries to understand and explain to the others what did just enter the room.
K. planes: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Leira keeps trying to keep control of the engine "You are true defenders and protectors! Buy us some time, we are just some minutes away from our target!"

Well, more interesting than an end of adventure flying castle is an end of adventure flying castle sinking on a lake, isn't it? xD

To avoid causing you extra work, perhaps we can just say only the lower levels sink, and maintain the rest of the adventure just the same!

"Ok, what about trying this" Leira cleans the sweat out of her forefront product of the raising tension "Zavier and Dolgrym you can try to defend the doors while Sid and me, we try to maintain control of the flying device. It will takes us some time, hence it might be the giants send some patrols to see what is going on"

"Once we land the castle, we try to go up as the castle starts to sink causing disorder among the giants" the girl turns back to Sid "If we find us surrounded by water, can we count you teleporting just right to the top of the castle where the Storm Tyrant is likely to be found?"
