Manisha Johar's page

Exactly how many wishes can you grant now... just wondering

Hi?

I'd like to go back to the treasury vault... I know this little kingdom in need of a buyer.

Out of curiosity, what were the rods TB had?

Well, that was almost kinda a let down... I expected a bit more whining as we defeated him. I mean it's been ages since anyone got this close. Not even a "NOOOOOoooooooo"

It's been fun!

Is this the end, or is there more?

bueller

Have we determined a ballpark for tb's caster level? Lefty may be out of the curse, unless his CL is 25 or higher

Is tb directly above L now?

Map is out of joint, players note you can edit the map for your own moves. Based on where the map shows people, Baergar would have had to move to tb to attack, tb had to move to Lefty to bestow the curse, which should have provoked an AoO from Baergar, Star and Ghaele #1. Is the paralysis from the curse or a secondary effect?

Now that was just down right nasty.

Manisha moves just enough to get Lefty in her range, if needed.

spellcraft check: 1d20 + 47 ⇒ (10) + 47 = 57
break enchantment on the curse: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

The ghaele takes an AoO (maybe?).
holy greatsword: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26

She will then take a 5' step to remove others from the line of fire, and get her out of tb's reach, as she casts prismatic spray.

Dimension door then, can't cast through the wall.

The perimeter of the force wall (even bending the wall into shapes) is 7 units, 10 if it is continuous and not a "U". To make the wall go all the way to the ceiling (I seem to recall you stating it was 40' high, and would require 28-40 units/caster levels.) Manisha is near the ceiling, and invisible. Whether or not she is inside will determine what she does.

If above the force wall:

Manisha casts black tentacles around the area she heard tb cast from.

Otherwise:

Manisha casts dimension door to the top left.

Ghaele #2 also gets a SR roll vs 25? Did TB spend a move action to control the fog, or is it now in the bottom of a pit? To confirm, TB cast two spells? Since the Ghaele's were too far apart for one spell to hit both of them.

perception to hear TB casting the spells: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (3) + 32 = 35

Any indication of where TB is? Since spells can't travel through a wall of force, he would need to be someplace where he had line of effect to both Ghaele's

Manisha is up in the air, near the ceiling, likely out of the box. Unless he did floor to ceiling, which would eat up a big chunk of the spell area.

unless this cloudkill is also varying from typical rules, it does have weight as it specifically states that it is heavier than air and will flow to the lowest points of an area. Also, the cloudkill starts as a 20' radius. Since I, and both the ghaele's are 30' from TB's return point, the cloud should not be a factor until next round, assuming that TB doesn't spend his move action to keep the cloud from falling into the pit instead of spreading out. If TB does use his move action, he can only move it towards one of the ghaele's as they went in different directions.

Manisha moved up, Ghaele #1 moved 30' in one direction, Ghaele #2 moved 30' perpendicular. I placed both in appropriate spots on the map, along with the spiked pit.

Manisha casts a spiked pit under the cloudkill. At 50' of depth, the cloud will fall into the pit unless he spends his move action to pull it out of the pit.

Both Ghaele's change into their light forms.

If Manisha manages to get the pit under TB, his reflex to jump to an open square is DC 28 plus whatever penalty he may have for not knowing where a safe square is due to the cloud. If he ends his move adjacent to the pit, he gets a +2 on the save to avoid falling in.

what sphere?

Manisha will grab any additional items from the table, shove them all in her belt, then fly 40' over the top of where Tar Baphon will return. She is hovering and invisible.

As time permits, she'll look at the item she picked up (An adamantine rod that appears similar to a question mark, with a sphere of mithril that sits in the middle of the 'hook' area).

Ghaele #1 (had already moved near the table) picks up a twisted ash wood staff, sized for a small creature. She then moves 30' behind where TB will return.

Ghaele #2 hands Manisha the handle for what appears to be a morning star, that looks like a roll of quarters, and fits into the palm of a medium creature's hand, and picks up something that looks like a segmented snake make of Living Steel with astral diamonds for eyes. She also moves 30', but to the left of TB's return point.

stealth: 1d20 + 79 ⇒ (18) + 79 = 97
spellcraft: 1d20 + 47 ⇒ (16) + 47 = 63
spellcraft: 1d20 + 47 ⇒ (7) + 47 = 54

knock, knock

The second ghaele can be summoned to a location within 60', I should have been able to place her at the table.

random item #1: 1d6 ⇒ 6
random item #2: 1d6 ⇒ 1

The ghaele picks up a twisted ash wood staff, sized for a small creature, and the handle for what appears to be a morning star, that looks like a roll of quarters, and fits into the palm of a medium creature's hand.

Okay peeps, once Baergar does his AoO's we have one round to prepare while TB is stuck in the maze. If anyone has greater restoration, dropping it on Baergar would be a good idea. TB will return to the same place he was before. It will be his only action for the turn (he will have an immediate action available). Having actions readied for his return would be a really good idea.

Is TB's caster check high enough to auto beat the SR 25 against the energy drain?

Baergar has SR 25 from the holy aura spell he received prior to porting in.

After Baergar's ooc's:

Ghaele #1 casts deathward on Manisha. She then moves to flank Tar Baphon with Baergar, circling around to avoid any attacks of opportunity.
Ghaele #2 is summoned on the other side of the table from Tar Baphon. She casts deathward on Baergar. Her move actions is to grab two of the rods off the table.

Manisha activates her kimono, drawing Tar Baphon into its maze. Her move action is also to circle around the table and grab a couple rods.

no save, he'll likely make his save on his round, and return to the spot he occupied.

Quickly, remove the rods and prepare, we have but seconds!

On the plus side, he's used his immediate/swift action for the round

spellcraft vs magic cheating: 1d20 + 47 ⇒ (10) + 47 = 57

isnt source sevarance a defensive spell? looks like it is cast on self, not target. Manisha succeeded on both checks.

With a flourish of her fingers, Manisha finishes casting her summoning spell. An elegantly armored sentinel stands alert, eyes radiating divine light and her noble blade crackling with power.

All within 20ft are hit with the effects of her holy aura.

There stands Tar Baphon, stripped and vulnerable. His phylactory destroyed. Now we finish him!

The Ghaele screams FOR MY SISTERS! and fires two light rays as she charges towards him, left of Baergar.

ranged touch: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
ranged touch: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
damage: 2d12 ⇒ (10, 11) = 21
damage: 2d12 ⇒ (10, 12) = 22

Manisha begins casting another summon monster spell.

Manisha started casting summon monster IX, and moved up.

Her summoned creature will appear the beginning of the next round.

Was the forcefield a plot device for removing Hiram?

know:arcana: 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (12) + 41 = 53

Manisha begins casting summon monster IX (SLA). She moves up into the air, hovering 15' up.

I have copied all of the items to the bottom of my sheet, everyone may look at them there.

Manisha drops the handful of weapons and armor at her feet. Some good stuff here, take it if you can use it.

She had already slide the scroll of eldritch might and the chunk of shield into her bag. Grasping Quester in her hand, she adds this will do, for a bit, though I am not an adherent of Desna, she may still bless our quest.

Manisha casts these every morning when she rests:

SLA: Mindblank, 24 hours
Detect Scrying, 24 hours
Magic Aura, 15 days (15 castings active)
Endure Elements, 24 hours
Nondetection, 15 hours

In preperation, she casts:

See invisible, 150 minutes
Spell Immunity, 150 minutes
SLA: Fly, 15 minutes
wand: shield, 15 minutes
Align Weapon on crossbow bolts, 15 minutes
Expeditious retreat, 15 minutes
Wand: Invisibility, 3 minutes
Holy Aura, entire party 15 rounds
Haste, entire party, 15 rounds

I can post later tonight

Manisha follows along, when she meets up with the others she sets the stuff down. I come bearing gifts, been busy?

does this include any magical gear? Like cloaks?

fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38
fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21
fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37

will: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (5) + 27 = 32
will: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (14) + 27 = 41
will: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (8) + 27 = 35

that includes 4 from cloak and 2 from ioun stone

That's me, Manisha. Who are you?

Other than the artifacts I listed before? Not really, Manisha is just being a tiny bit greedy since it seems she can just walk out with anything she wants. If she can't use it, maybe one of the others can.

probably a good idea, I doubt you want to provide a list to pick from...

Manisha indicates the items they had previously discussed, and just for kicks, points at a couple of other interesting items as well. She can check them out once she finds the others.

Manisha continues to watch 15,414 zombies shuffle into neat and orderly lines.

Have you trained them in synchronized formations? Can they line dance? Can they sort like a pivot table?

More importantly, can I collect the items I'd like to withdraw now? Any flying carpets in here?

Any bags of holding or portable holes, preferably. You know, there are a lot of churches that could benefit by donations from the vault...

Just how many items do you have here? It doesn't look like that many...

I certainly hope you didn't inventory each individual coin...

Manisha watches in awe, and aprehension as the undead line up. your master list is a bunch of undead?

Okay then, I think I'd like to withdraw. Are there any items related Calistria? In addition, my companions and I could most certainly make use of a few items, Quester, The Scroll of Eldritch Might, the holy sword of Sir Thaddeus Longshanks, and that piece of shield in the corner. The Heartseeker could be of use, but I do not believe any of my associates are Red Mantis.

Manisha takes another circuit through the armory, she is thinking of anything that could assist them in their fight, even knowing that the previous owners are likely dead.

And, she's thinking of how much of these artifacts she can shove in her bags.

I have several associates with me, we have been temporarily separated. Quite a few of these items would be of use to us. I would like to know more about making a withdrawal, or several of withdrawals.

What housing are you removing? Most of this stuff just seems to be sitting here... I'm sure, that an archon like yourself, you must understand that a smaller inventory equates to a smaller master list, which of course means greater efficiency!

know:history: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (20) + 38 = 58
know:nobilty: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (7) + 28 = 35

Most interesting, did Sir Longshanks voluntarily leave the sword here? Are there rules regarding deposits or withdrawals?

The god you serve, is a god of Heaven? I am sure as the smartest person in the universe, you already know why I am here.

correction to earlier comment, meant to state that Manisha was 'not' touching anything in the vault.

She continues to walk around the vault, looking at the items on display. Pointing to a sword laying across the edge of a table, What can you tell me about that sword? How did it come to be here?

She just picked a random item, not one of the ones she had recognized.

An archivist? For what purposes are items deposited or withdrawn?

Manisha isn't quite willing to commit a response until she learns more about the archon.

This place doesn't seem like the kind of place one would expect to find a creature of Heaven.

Having been careful to only look with her eyes, and her fingers, Manisha can't help staring in awe, How...? Who...?

Startled by the sudden appearance of the orb, Manisha smiles, I certainly hope so! Who, or what, are you?

A custom list of items means dice rolls, I'm guessing. Spellcraft, know:arcana, know:history, other?

know:planes? for the orb: 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (14) + 40 = 54
Spellcraft +47; know:arcana +41; know:history +38
Heartseeker: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Quester: 1d20 ⇒ 9
The Scroll of Eldritch Might: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Appraise most expensive item in the armory: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (2) + 31 = 33

And of course Manisha had been casting detect magic while she walked through, noting anything that was glowing.

well then, let's open that puppy up and see what's..

BEHIND DOOR #1?!

Is the group still visible to me?

Seems to be some sort of time trap. But who's trapped?

Manisha heads to the door and looks for a way to open it, taking care to stay out of everyone's way.

If I am slowed down and out of phase, then they would appear to be moving very fast, and likely to cause me injury. But if they are slowed down, which would explain why my touch caused such an impact, then... this needs more thinking.

Oops, by Calistria's left leg! Sorry!

Manisha carefully moves towards the light, taking care not to bump into her companions.

She can hear them though?

Puzzled by her companion's ignorance of her, she'll try taping Lorelei on the shoulder, and tugging on Baergar's beard.

know: planes: 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (9) + 40 = 49

I'm not understanding why I cant share what I saw.
