Liora the Skydancer's page

My chronicle looks good! Thanks again to you, GM, and to all the other players - it's been a pleasure :)

Did we succeed in peacefully resolving an encounter with a creature with the air, earth, fire, or water subtype? Maybe the Comozant Wyrds?(Concordance Faction Goal)

Also, I know the faction goals that require rolls are in lieu of the Day Job roll, but what about the other goals (that don't require a roll)?

My memory is a bit fuzzy but I *think* you can only check off one goal per adventure. Usually when I've GMed I've had players first inquire about any goals that don't require a dice roll and then if none of those conditions are met, they'll opt to try for a dice roll goal - if that makes sense.

"Hrm...we sure did get off on the wrong foot at first...what with Jamila stealing from us and all," Liora (a bit snarkily) points out. "And all those guys trying to stop us in Armun Kelisk without even trying to have a conversation about it..."

The sylph then, surprisingly, smiles.

"But Ashasar's done us square ever since the Concordance was finally willing to sit down and talk to us. And honestly? That horn's pretty powerful and it seems like a waste to just let it sit in the Grand Lodge. So sure, I'm okay with letting the Concordance hold on to it for now."

"Hey, whatever works...he's either got to come back down sometime or get lost," Liora scowls as she watches the elemental circling far above. She gives herself a tap with her healing wand, while they have the time.

CLW Wand (Self): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Charges remaining (38).

With little left in her arsenal to directly challenge the wily former-sylph, Liora instead gives Yulau another tap with her healing wand in an attempt to keep her going a little longer!

CLW Wand (Yulau): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Charges remaining (39).

Reflex (DC 16): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

"Gah! Better make sure you aren't an opera singer in your next life!" Liora yells as Chalissier's magic assaults her ears and her sensibilities.

"Your lackeys are dead! Give up!" Liora calls up to Chalissier. Seeing that Kamishah is going for his own healing wand Liora decides to take a gamble, turning and dashing back over to Yulau. As she does, she pulls out her own wand of healing and gives the young woman a tap.

CLW Wand (Yulau): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Charges remaining (40).

"Whoa..." Liora gasps as Kamishah blows the horn and buffets the two elementals with elemental force. But she can see that the brave Mwangi is in trouble; she focuses her attention on the two elementals and conjures a burst of bright radiance all around them! Then she hustles closer.
______________

Casting Burst of Radiance on the two elementals; I know they won't take damage but maybe I can blind them! DC 15 Reflex save.

"Hmph! You should've just left us alone," Liora retorts as she conjures a snowball into her hand and flings it at Chalissier.

Snowball (Ranged Touch): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Damage (Cold): 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2) = 10

She then begins to move towards Kamishah.

Sorry! Will try and get caught up momentarily~

"Here Kami, wait a sec," Liora calls. She reaches out and uses her magic to give her sturdy companion a bit of extra guidance. "Just in case, you know?"

Though she doesn't *quite* share Willard's paranoia, the sylph does glance around. "I don't know about 'wrong', but it does seem kind of quiet out here, for a junkyard..."
______________

Cast Guidance on Kamishah~

"Or we could just do that," Liora laughs, feeling a little foolish. "Good to know it's that easy, at least!"

"Just Auran," Liora answers with a shake of her head. "Maybe we can use magic to fake whatever we don't already know?"

"Sounds like a plan," Liora nods, in no mood to protest or argue at the moment. "We could use somewhere to lie low for a little bit too!"

Once everyone is ready to go, Liora does what she can to stick to the shadows and otherwise avoid standing out in the city crowds...

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

...but it seems like the harder she tries, the more she trips over her own feet which then leads to stumbling into walls, vendor carts, and other passersby.

Spellcraft (DC 25): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"Oh! That's a Necklace of Fireballs," Liora remarks after studying the necklace for a few moments. "The weakest version of one, but still pretty handy in the right circumstances!"

To Jamila, Liora nods. "Yeah, your pal Ashasar sent us to find you. A lot's happened since you took off from Sothis," she explains.

Happy New Year! I hope your celebrations have been as wild or as tame as suits your preference :)

"I still have a little of my fire magic left," Liora remarks as she also moves to help Kamishah melt away some of the ice. "Hopefully this'll soften it up enough we can hack the rest away without hurting Jamila."

Once the remainder of her flames have been utilized, the sylph turns her attention to the unconscious-but-now-stable Willard. "Here, let me see if this'll help bring him back 'round," she says as she produces her healing wand and gives the arcanist a couple of taps.

CLW Wand (Willard): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Charges remaining (42).
CLW Wand (Willard): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Charges remaining (41).

"There we go!"

"Willard! Hold on just a little longer!" Liora cries as she takes a step away from the enormous troll and tries to fling another orb of fire at him.

Produce Flame vs. Troll (Ranged Touch; Sickened): 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 - 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Reflex (DC 13): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

"C-Cold!" Liora gasps as she proves too slow to avoid the mephit's frosty blast; the pain is like needles and pins, leaving her overwhelmed and sickened.

"Well, I guess we're doing this," Liora mutters as she also conjures an orb of flame into her hand and flings it at the big troll.

Produce Flame vs. Troll (Ranged Touch): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Hey folks, I hope everyone had a good holiday if you celebrate or a good Saturday if holidays aren't your thing! We finished up the last of our festivities a short time ago so I'll get caught up on the game later today :)

Hoping to help Willard salvage the situation, Liora does her best to look and sound intimidating as she adds (in Auran), <"You think we're lying? Do you really want to risk the Duchess' wrath by sending her servants away?">

Intimidate (Aid Another): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Liora blinks and looks at the others for a moment, including Ceru. She interprets the troll's words for the group (so feel free to open the spoiler) before turning her attention back to the troll.

<"Thank you, but I think we're good. Or least I am; one of the others might want something,"> the sylph replies. <"Otherwise, I think we can just get right to business...if that works for you?">

She tries to keep herself from shivering in the cold, but it's a fairly tall order.

"Of course he isn't," Liora sighs with a roll of her eyes. "But a person's gotta be prepared to deal with all kinds, right? Thanks for the tip-off, Klarh."

She looks to the others. "Least we don't have to walk very far! Let's go see what this Ramzi guy charges for his information."

"Really now?" Liora responds, this last bit of information snapping her out of what had become a bit of an eye-glazed stupor. "Um...don't supposed you heard anything about who might've claimed the bounty, did you?"

"Uh, yeah...sounds like a heck of a thing..." Liora manages, trying to be sympathetic. "I'm sorry you lost your companions. But as long as you carry their memory with you, they're not truly gone, you know? Um, at least, that's how I try to look at it."

"We're looking for one of our companions too, of sorts. A janni named Jamila. Do you know anything about her?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Liora can't help but chuckle a little at Cookie's wordplay and then nods at Willard. "Yeah, sounds like we should. If she's a dock worker then she's surely seen or heard something about Jamila or the Duchess' agents."

"Well...that's a little more than we knew before," Liora remarks. "Sounds like they turned this place upside-down looking for Jamila; they definitely want her bad if they're willing to draw this much attention to themselves."

She looks to Ceru.

"Hmm...any other good places around here to check?"

"Uh oh...Hshurha's looking for her too?" Liora gulps, worried. "And they've already got a five day lead on us! Not good, not good at all..."

The sylph lapses into silence for a few moments and then sighs.

"Well, fretting won't do any good, I guess. And Jamila's apparently been at this for a while so she's gotta have some tricks up her sleeves for avoiding trouble. Kamishah's right, we need to keep asking around."

No worries GM, enjoy your vacation!

"It's Liora," the sylph remarks to Ceru; she hadn't got a good chance to introduce herself before the little bird had ushered them out of the Aching Anchor and into the small shop. "And sure, I can help. It's, uh, actually kinda neat to hear the differences in dialect between Auran used here and Auran used back on the Material," she admits.

Liora then turns her attention to the shop's proprietor and smiles. <"Hello there,"> she waves, switching to Auran. <"It's nice to meet you. Ceru's showing us around town a bit and helping us get the lay of the land and all.">

<"So, are all these charts and currents things you mapped out yourself? It's all pretty impressive...bet it's taken a lot of time and work, huh?">

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Dang...

"Hey, howdy," Liora smiles, quietly relieved that Thunder switch to Common so she wouldn't have to interpret his words. "Not a whole lot really, just...looking for some information on someone, maybe, and a place to stay. This is a good place for either of those things?"

"Those guys were...well, I won't even say it," Liora huffs after the wyrds finally grow bored of their game and depart. "I am what I am and I'll eat broken glass before I let anyone make me feel bad about it!"
______________

Liora nods at Yulau and Willard's assessment of the situation. "Yeah...we should probably try to avoid making a big scene around this place if we can help it. So let's go check this place out and see if we can get our bearings and maybe a place to stay or something, while we're here."

I hope those who celebrate it had a Happy (US) Thanksgiving or a Happy Thursday if you don't. There are many things that I'm thankful for and one of them is all of the great people I have the privilege of playing Pathfinder with - like you guys :)

Have a good weekend, GM!

"I'll say," Liora retorts, giving Nix and both of the wyrds an dirty look. "But fine, whatever. If it'll keep the peace..."

Though clearly not happy about it, Liora does as the second wyrd requests and steps forward to be 'inspected'.

"Whoa, whoa, wait, what?" Liora hisses as Nix motions for them to step forward. "Just what do those 'illuminating flames' even do? They don't look pleasant at all!"

"Yeah, gnomes are great - usually," Liora agrees. "This Port Eclipse place sounds kinda rough, though. Think I'll do some asking around, see what else might be worth knowing before we go."

And once the mission briefing is largely over, she does just that.

Diplomacy (Auran-Speaker): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

She learns a little, but it's mostly the same as what Ashasar already shared. "Well, at least we know he's being up front with us. By all accounts Port Eclipse is a seedy port town built on the inside of a floating landmass and physically concealed from outside forces. The resident djinni of the Plane of Air lay no claim to the settlement, and Port Eclipse acts as an anarchist's haven among the otherwise lawful realm of the air genies."

My chronicle also looked good and Liora is leveled up :)

"So...if you haven't been able to get in touch with Jamila then that means if we find her, she might still think our two groups are at loggerheads," Liora frowns. "Anything you can give us that'd get her to trust us? A super-secret codeword or phrase or something?"

Oh, to answer the GM's question re: The Slave Master's Mirror - no, Liora has not played that scenario.

Liora will be leveling up (got a GM chronicle for her in addition to this one) and is game to continue onward!

"Heh, how about a little fire and ice combo?" Liora laughs as she moves up and uses her magic to conjure a snowball. She takes aim and flings it right at the stupid sylph's face!

Snowball vs. Chalissier (Ranged Touch): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage (Cold): 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

"Hah! Everyone wants a piece of us I guess," Liora can't help but chuckle as all heck breaks loose. "I think this blowhard and his friend are probably the bigger problem right now though," she muses as she reaches out to give Kamishah a little guidance on throwing his orb of flame.

Guidance on Kamishah~

"Hmm...well, what do you think?" Liora can't help but ask. "Do you think freeing Ranginori or any of the other goodly elemental lords will really bring about as much chaos as some people seem to think?"

"Because I dunno, I feel like they're exaggerating. Besides, originally there were eight instead of four. Releasing the others would actually put things back in the original balance that once existed!"

"Oh! Hello there!" Liora exclaims, so startled that she nearly drops the book. "Um, this might be a silly question, but who are you and why are you in a book?"

"Hey! Hey guys! I found it!" Liora calls out excitedly as she quickly and carefully hops off the cloud and heads back down to ground level with the book.

"But all the pages say the same thing," she frowns, repeating the riddle out loud for everyone's benefit. "Guess we need to figure out the answer before the book will show us anything else."

"Hrm...I guess I'll look around down here on the lower level," Liora muses as she gets to work rifling through the numerous books on the shelves...

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

As a heads up I'm going out of town on a mini-trip this weekend and probably won't be back until late Sunday evening. Please bot/delay Liora as necessary :)

"They're not bad people or anything but they need to cool their heels for a bit," Liora nods as they stop long enough to mention the four sulis tied up in the basement.
______________

A short while later, Liora can't help find herself impressed that they might just get the help of an actual dragon to get them inside the Cobalt Gallery.

"Huh...guess it's a good thing Yulau made the time to have a chat with Wan Feng then," she muses quietly. "Talk about friends in high places!"
