Matsu casts dimension door and teleports away from Rijana!

Matsu finds a place to sit while the others talk. She wishes she could share int heir excitement. But she is not here simply to win. Matsu needs to vindicate the first team she came with all those years ago.

We just might make it... she thinks, hoping that wherever they are, her friends might hear her promises. Against her best efforts, a tear wells up in her left eye.

Matsu nods in a humble gesture accepting the praise of her friends. Inwardly she worries. That was her last disintegrate. Hopefully they wouldn't have to face anything that terrible today.

Noticing the Storm Adder, she wonders why he still seems to be radiating magic.

Matsu casts the Ancestral Memories focus spell to become trained in religion

Religion: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

My internet as dead for a few days

"What matters is that we strike first," offers Matsu. "The sooner we strike the sooner we can subdue or kill this... obstacle,"

Matsu wavers for a split second before accepting the necklace from Chkirri.

"This is good. But let us not develop a false sense of security. I... I know from experience how things can turn. We may still need to kill and e might still die,"

"I've been saving my spells," says Matsu quietly. "We can definitely handle another ghost,"

Matsu spares a moment to contemplate the spirits. "That's the sad thing about fighting the Unliving," she says. "They used to be people. These monks dedicated themselves to a worthy life and yet we were forced to destroy them,"

Electricity works! It's not the display that Storm Adder can summon but it should be enough. She tries again.

"Thank you Tino," she says. "Any lives saved to day may be laid at your feet,"

Turning to her frie... teammates, she adds. " As I said before, Storm Adder will be our greatest assets hen confronting Spirits. Our only role is to protect and support him,"

Matsu stands up and starts laughing. It's a cathartic moment. She comes across as releasing a lot of tension she must have been carrying for a while. Once she's all laughed out she suddenly goes very calm and says:

"Yes. Of course I'm alright,"

Matsu falls forward, hand on knees, head bowed. She's breathing heavy and her delicate brow is beaded with sweat.

Matsu continues to throw fire at the Spider.
Don't miss! Don't you dare miss! she says to herself.

Matsu smiles the smallest smile at Chkirri's foray into small-talk.

"Once or twice," she answers. "The best spells for contending with evil come from the Divine tradition. If the unliving come for us our most valuable player will be the Storm Adder, I think,"

hen they reach the temple Matsu notes the webs. Filthy things. She never learned how to generate them through magic. Why anyone would want to was beyond her.

I know you're all an eager adventurous lot," she began. "But I would rather take the path not covered in sticky secretions,"

"The simplest spells first," says Matsu to the other casters, as she steps forward. "save one's resources for critical moments,"

Matsu takes a step and then casts telekinetic projectile at ji-yook

damage: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 6, 6, 6, 5) = 29

Matsu flinches as the melee begins.

silly girl!, she thinks to herself. They're on your side!

Impressive so far, she has to admit. She feels a sliver of hope come alive. But the others, before, they were capable too...

Matsu swallows and nods quickly. Maybe seeing her new frien... teammates sparring will give her a sense of what they can do. Maybe that will quiet the storm of anxiety within.

Maybe.

Matsu nods, a haunted look on her face.

Matsu knows she's coming across as aloof but within, she is a maelstrom. Coming back to danger island is bringing it all back and she can barely bring herself to say a word to her teammates.

As trite as it is, Matsu is avoiding the connections with these people. What if she were to care for them and then lose them? Has she the strength to live through this again?

Victorious Secret?

I'm into it.

Hi, thanks for selecting me! I was wondering about gold and gear since we're starting at 11th level.

And Since I chose arcane evolution for my sorcerer, how man spells may I add to the spell book beyond my repertoire?
