Lina Weaver's page

Ah, well, that's unfortunate, but understandable.

Since we won't be continuing, I'd like to come out with it. Lina was the one who had the ire of the entity. She was in the process of turning into a kobold, afflicted with cowardice, and was to be afflicted with a modified curse of lycanthropy. The reason she's been wearing a scarf over her face from the start and has recently made some disguise checks is that before the game began, she woke up with her face transformed into a draconic muzzle.

I've gotten quite attached to the character, and I plan to use her in the future. Either as a half-elf paladin who struggles with her fears of failure, or as a kobold as a result of a curse :P

I'm with them, really. This is supposed to be fun, and if you aren't having fun, you shouldn't be forcing yourself along because you're afraid of disappointing people.

Lina moves into the room and throws her starknife at the closest tiefling.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Lina also approaches the doorway with Shayde.

stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Lina glares suspiciously at the dark Knight. "I won't work beside a demon-lover. That isn't because of the oaths I've sworn, but because the very prospect disgusts me."

She shakes her head and goes to the front so she can pull open the door and take a look inside.

main hand: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

off hand: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Lina gets bitten by the howler but she doesn't let it slow her down, moving into more spinning attacks against it.

Point is pretty moot since I deflected it, but I have figured that Lina wears her holy symbol opening from her belt. Since it's from the paladin kit, it's wooden, I can't find specific stats but as a wooden object that is hardness 5, if it's 1/2 inch thick that's 5 hp. While it wouldn't be even remotely an issue now to lose her holy symbol, that would be a problem starting at level 4 since Divine Favor, among other very useful spells, calls for a Divine Focus.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but Azlana shouldn't be affected by the Howler's howl, since she is an Outsider and the ability description says all creatures except for outsiders in range.

will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

aoo: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Lina ignores the Howler's cry. The holy symbol hanging from her belt may make an appealing target, but the vermlek leaves itself open and she strikes back, throwing off its aim. That flows right into her attack routine with both weapons.

main hand: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

off hand: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Lina moves up and in beside Stalker with her weapons drawn. far as I can make it on my movement

Lina leaves the unconscious dretches for the moment, while still placing herself between the demons and the aasimar, and goes after the vermlek near Haruto.

attack, PA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

One goes down, and Lina assesses the situation, and spots Azlana getting backed into a corner. She guards herself against the varmlek and moves across the area. full round action to withdraw

Oh come on the odds of rolling 1d4 and 2d6 and getting three 1s is one in...okay actually it's 1/144, which is honestly higher than I thought, if still really unlikely. I've rolled on gachas with worse odds.

will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Lina checks her surroundings, laughs dangerously, and steps in to flank one of the enemies with Stalker and strikes furiously.

main hand+flank: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

SA, cold iron: 1d4 + 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + (2, 3) + 4 = 10

off hand+flank: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

SA, good aligned: 1d4 + 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + (1, 1) + 1 = 4

Is the special longsword/starknife cold iron, or just a +1 weapon?

Lina takes the hit and charges through, attacking relentlessly.

PA: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

PA: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

damage, pierces DR: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"The only way in is the front door, we need to push through."

main hand: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Lina rushes in and attacks one of the monsters at the doors. "Out of the way!"

"This guy again," Lina says darkly at the sight of him. She takes out one of the silver scales shed by the dying Terendelev and activates it, touching it to her starknife.

Jen Silver

Lina nods--then, she looks a little uncertain, even awkward. "So, ahem, maybe this is a stupid question and I should just leave it to the ones who know magic better than I--but how, exactly, do we destroy the wardstone fragment? I can't imagine it's as simple as smashing it."

"Sorry, sorry--" Lina enters the room, fiddling with her scarves. "I heard what all you said, just got held up a moment. As my companions said, we can handle ourselves, but your men will look to you as a commander. On our end, we will not fail."

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Selling the +1 Leather Armor & miscellaneous items, we have 2529gp in the party fund. Only nonconsumable magic item is a Ring of Protection +1, who wants it?

Sorry I've been noncommunicado, end of the semester and it's been busy, but I'll post & update the loot sheet tomorrow. I'm thinking try to sell some loot & anybody who wants it get a masterwork weapon/armor?

"A hundred years since the Red Morning Massacre, and that demon still remembers it fondly," Lina says. "But no solid information. And before that can be looked into, we have other work to do."

"Well, that confirms their suspicions about what the demons are planning," Lina says. She considers the note for a moment. "Minagho, the Red Morning Massacre..."

lore(mendevian crusades)?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 don't know if Minagho and the Red Morning Massacre have anything to do with the crusades, but it's worth a shot

For once, making short work of an encounter isn't because of us being gestalt or enemies being severely outnumbered. Though, I do get the sense that Faxon is one of those baddies who, in the AP, is given a lot of backstory that we have no reason to ever learn.

Lina cleans her blade and moves to assist Azlana in her search, then prepares to assist in the fight against the rest of the cultists.

"Right,"" Lina says shortly, since it's evident that Faxon doesn't know anything. She flicks a starknife off of her belt and aims for the throat.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

SA: 1d4 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (4, 4) = 13

Lina puts her holy symbol out of sight and tries to look shifty and mean.

how many are there?

clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

ugh terrible rolls but back up to full

Lina digs out the wand the group purchased and uses it to mend her wound. "I owe you all an apology," she says. "I jumped in to the fight without waiting to consider the situation, and could have gotten somebody killed. I'm sorry."

"Damn you!" Lina shouts, which is a lot lighter than what she was thinking. She has one hand pressed to her wound. "Call off your shadow, he's too strong. Bastard--don't use your magic, Azlana, we got the healing wand for a reason."

He's got a +14 to his damage rolls...

It's as the spear drives forth with skill she never knew was possible that Lina thinks, for a brief moment, that she's made a horrible mistake. Then she's impaled on the spear, and she can't breathe.

"What the hell are you?" she gasps as she tries to back away.

LOH: 1d6 ⇒ 2

swift action loh, full round action withdraw

Lina clicks her tongue disdainfully. "Shouldn't be ignoring other opponents, pal."

As she launches into the fray, she invokes the divine power granted by her goddess, and her weapons are limned with light.

Smiting Evil. AC 21

main hand: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

damage: 1d4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 3 = 9

off hand: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

damage: 1d4 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 3 = 8

Did Hanna's 20 to hit actually beat his AC?

I suppose it's a good story beat. Anyways thank you, I've got enough moral ambiguity in Kingmaker.

I was about to cite Hell's Vengeance but those are Devils, not demons.

Anyways, I know very little about how WotR progresses past book 1, and a demon army flattened Kenabres. We've already seen stragglers attacking people and wreacking havoc. Is it wrong to assume that everything demonic or wearing demonic paraphernalia is bad news? I'll accept a surrender but I don't want to be the stupid paladin who announces her presence wherever she goes.

Lina is only more driven when she is told it is a demon, and she joins in Azlana's assault by rushing forth and throwing a starknife at the dark knight.

Detect Evil is also 60ft range so move 30 feet toward the demon and throwing.

attack -range: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 4 = 17

damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 +SA?: 1d6 ⇒ 6

The starknife returns to her hand in a glimmer of light like a shooting star.

per vs traps: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

"Well, frankly it makes me feel a little bad, knowing that our adversaries are children," Lina says venomously, and kicks the chest. "This place has already been cleared out."

Sorry, busy weekend.

Baphomet. I wouldn't be so picky, but putting Bahamut instead is really confusing since over in the Forgotten Realms and other popular campaign settings Bahamut is the God of Good Dragons.

fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"Well. Seems we're in the right place," Lina says. She looks briefly over the objects and tries to identify the religious imagery. She then goes to the chest, checks it for traps, disables any traps she may find, and tries to open the chest.

know religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

per vs traps: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

dd vs trap: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

dd vs lock: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Lina whistles to grab attention, and carefully clears the rubble away. She checks the trapdoor for traps.

Per vs Traps: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

if she finds a trap she attempts to disarm it, if it's locked, she attempts to pick the lock

DD vs Traps: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

DD vs Lock: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Per: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Lina takes a good look around. A cultist safehouse, they wouldn't leave everything out in the open, it would be hidden away, she thinks.

Lina steps aside and lets the scavengers go. "Scumbag looters, but we have bigger fish to fry," she murmurs.

Lina, finding no other exits, returns to the front, catches up on what's happening, and uses her power to read the auras in the area.

Using detect evil, as the spell.

Lina taps Azlana and says quietly, "I'm going to go round back and check for another entrance. Remember, their passphrase was, I've new material for the archives."

Lina moves around the building to look for another entrance.

Excellent, thank you kindly. So two of them are right nearby, what's say we go to Topaz Solutions and the Tower of Estrod, and if we get to those very quickly we could then go to Nyserian Manor but, that's a little further away.
