Manyki Marcellus's page

Thanks to everyone for a great game. Really enjoyed being part of team debuff

"I too favour taking our time over the staff but I think we may have to persuade our Sarkorian friends that this is not quite the temple they thought. What is the true nature of this place? And what is your role here?" The first question is asked of his fellow pathfinders. The second of the handless golden figure.

He then turns to Valais "I will support you in whichever path you take but surely it is better to glimpse the mind of heaven than to spend time hunting the abyss for demons. I am not saying that I would not enjoy killing demons but that road is not without its risks."

Sorry Manyki has to stand for the light archive faction here

Manyki uses the haste to move into position to flank the demon with Quillen drawing his cold iron longsword and then calls on Iomadae to heal everyone but the demon

healing channel: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 6) = 14

"By Iomadae's Light BEGONE" calls out Manyki as he lets loose another channel vs Evil Outsiders channel damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 5) = 12 will save dc 16 for half

Does it burn thinks many ki knowledge planes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Manyki decides to bring his own light show to bear on the demon burst of radiance Be blind for blind or dazzled rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 2 dc 16 reflex save to merely be dazzled all evil creatures take damage: 5d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 1, 1) = 11

"Now we see you! You don't see us! says Manyki relieved to not have Val attack again

Korai has read it as the most important thing (but not so important as to do it himself) I'm reading it as deal with demon first thaen worry about staff. (and whoever gets staff get a huge target on their back as well). My last two actions are probably ones that make this fight more complicated but the choice of how your character acts is YOURS

sense motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Manyki draws his sword and moves between Val and the tree
"I am sorry Val BY IOMADAE'S LIGHT BEGONE"
Channels energy to harm evil outsiders no exclusions will save dc16 for half damage energy damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6) = 12

If Val attempts to move past him provoking an aoo Manyki will also make a trip attempt cmb trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 (using a foot to avoid the -4 penalty)

Without crossing the runes Manyki attempts to discern how dead is the golden skinned man heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 and what kind of extra planar outsider he is knowledge planes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

IF still alive will throw a channel to heal heal all: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 5) = 13

"Brave Korai has volunteered to go ahead I will cast protection from evil on the rest of us when you are ready"

congratulations I think you just volunteered yourself there Korai

"Sounds an excellent plan. May i call forth the blessings of Iomadae , bless, and mutter some words of warding on us all, communal protection from evil-all party members 1 minute, before we place the keys in the lock?" suggests Manyki

ok I used the scroll then

will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
If Popols approach doesnt work I will ask my friends to help me with something outside the room to start and look up if break enchantment can affect 3 targets might also give protection from evil a try on three

"May Iomadae Guide you" Manyki solemnly intones. unfortunately he is unable to cast guidance at this time so cast read magic and detect magic and hopes his arcane knowledge and spellcraft can aid Quillen

"Calm your self Val you're a venture captain not some barbarian" calls Manyki as he attempts to physically hold her back

grapple attempt: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
not including -4 penalty on weapon attack rolls from blackened as not actually a weapon attack? It was a big dumb idea but didnt want to do nothing

spell craft : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Manyki studies the area carefully with furrowed snout " No don't tell me Popol I need to get better practiced at this for when we don't have such an esteemed wizard with us"

Manyki squints at the passage another couple of times before finally admitting "No I don't get it tell me what I missed Popol"

Manyki awaits the scouts reports

sense motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Manyki examines the writing and ponders. "One of these days I am going to remember to pick up a couple of scrolls of comprehend languages and possibly tongues as well." He looks at the venture captain "Would it help your thinking any to cast protection from evil on you Val?"

"Quillen it is my duty to keep us all in perfect shape to fight the next battle. No thanks are needed" says manyki in a solemn tone before adding with a foxy grin"but thanks are much appreciated"

On hearing Korais warning Manyki holds up his blackened handpaw "I am no longer skilled with treasure finders tools nor am I quite yet as potent a priest as to be sure of clearing our path. But I can call on the power of Iomadae to purge the evil ones from this place and maybe make our passage easier" His blackened paw clasps the miniture iron sword round his neck as he finishes speaking

know planes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

looks back at Val

Is she still talking in BOOMordinarywhisper or was her last comment intentionally just one voice

"Quillen that was brave! Let me tend that wound"

Manyki cast cure moderate wounds healing: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 3) + 5 = 9
and then pulls out a wand to top that up
clw wand heals: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
clw wand heals: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
happy to burn 2 spells per combat not more at this early stage

Manyki tries to keep himself safe as he tries to slice and even chew at the creature

sword attack: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (7) - 3 = 4
bite attack: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (11) - 5 = 6

His colleagues quickly learn that though he will gamely fight in melee it is not his effective role

fighting defensively for AC23

Blessings of Iomadae on us all
Casts bless on all allies and stands there impressed by Korai's speed of thought and actions and draws his cold iron blade and moves in and to the side

"Is it just me or is anyone else worried about what such demonic symbols are doing at the entrance to a temple of a good god?" asks Manyki of the others in the party but not as in so loud a tone as to carry to the Sarkorians. He adds almost as an afterthought "Korai's plan does seem a good one. Popol your thoughts?

Happy to let the thinkers loose at this one. Manyki much happier fighting or talking than thinking

"I remember symbols something like that at the aspis's back door to the Hao Jin tapestry" says Manyki as he waits for the scouts and scholars to do their job

Manyki addresses the Sarkorian "Friend I am a cleric of Iomadae. The fifth crusade includes followers of many gods who have fought to turn the demon tide. It has been my honour serve along side clerics and paladins of Torag, Shelyn, Saranrae, Abadar to name but a few. I will honour any god or goddess that stands against the demon tide but do not ask me to forswear Iomadae. I am sure my friends here do not wish to dishonour Laktharsis but neither do they wish to dishonour their own faiths. We know something of the dangers of stepping on such holy ground and hope Laktharsis looks with favour on our endeavour"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

So Manyki wil cast an extended ant haul on the wizard (should he so desire) at the end of the evening using one use of the extended rod and will cast it again on himself (unextended) in the morning haveing recovered his castings from the night before in case the rod does not recharge overnight

Jeff is worried when scenario gives out such goodies at the start of a scenario

Manyki thanks Shyael and the Sarkorians profusely for their gifts "Thank you very much for your kind offer. I hope we can return these unused"

Manyki generally starts his days casting Ant haul on himself. As it lasts ten hours that usually lasts most of the day. He is however not willing to extend this to a wizard just now (unless said wizard has a lesser extend metamagic rod to hand so he can cast the night before) So currently showing 1 1st level spell slot spent for that purpose

It appears we are mostly diploma cars as well a very strange party!

"We are pathfinders. Exploring ancient ruins is our other speciality besides beating the crap out of demons. Can we pool our resources and learn more about Dredarin"

diplomacy assist: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

In terms of purchases I would like a MW cold iron aldori duelling sword and a potion of cure serious wounds

"I am happy to approach these people and say we have come to investigate these famed ruins but does anyone actually know anything about them other than they appear to be called Dredarin on the map"

Manyki answers Korai "I had heard Thurl had sided with the demons at the worldwound and got his just deserts." He then turns back to Joral "Is this cure going to involve an ancient Sarkhorian site someone else might be looking to reclaim? And do we have such a thing as a hat of disguise for masking the venture captains nature if we are to travel beyond the lodge? A half demon travelling companion might draw unwelcome attention"

"So.. Do I need to be careful to avoid catching her in spell area where Iomadae's Light would harm evil Outsiders? asks ManyKi

He also thinks back to the gossip he picked up arriving at Nerosyan

diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

A kitsune enters in resplendent golden coloured breastplate decorated with the sword and starburst symbol of Iomadae. He is equipped as a warrior and raises a blackened paw in salute "Hail comrades! I believe we are called forward to vanquish evil in the worldwound. A most excellent mission and one I look forward to helping us all accomplish. I am Manyki Marcellus warrior cleric of Iomadae at your service. May I paint a picture of our august band for inclusion in the illustrated chronicle of our endeavour?

he introduces himself as a cleric but is most definitely an Oracle
