Yeah I enjoyed RPing with all of you as well. Jack was particularly fun to scold/scowl at.

Best of luck to all!

I'm sorry to do this guys but I'm having trouble keeping up with play by post. With my baby and new job, it's just hard to find time and motivation. It's been great playing with you guys but I need to drop out.

Diplomacy aid by backing it up with steel: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Maria growls "Let us purge the evil of the Whispering Way or be purged with them."

Maria pauses for just one second to see if these creatures she thought were evil are willing to cooperate.

Just giving them time to speak as a free action but then would still like to take my turn as normal if they do not.

Maria grins wickedly at Jack as he steps back. "What a gentleman." Then she crouches low as she rushes up the stairs, drawing her falchion as she moves with magical speed and strikes hard at the first werewolf in her reach.

Are you even a paladin if you wouldn't charge a pack of werewolves?!

Charge, haste, power attack, divine favor, smite evil, weapon of awe, flaming weapon: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39
Dam: 2d4 + 27 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 27 + (1) = 30 Bypasses all DR because smite.

Crit confirm with my keen falchion: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23 Lol. That's no confirmation.

Just realized I couldn't have used holy divine bond yet so it's flaming instead. The 1d6 is fire.

It HAS been distracting but I'm still here.

Depending on how Jack moves, I'll charge. Waiting to see if I have a lane or not.

Maria rushes forward after Jack, though she can't move as quickly in her bulky armor.

Double move 100 ft. I'm not quite clear on where the stairs start and lead so please move me to keep up with Jack.

Merry Christmas!!

Maria jogs forward to check out the building. "Let's head inside and see what's what before they get here."

I'll cast my buffs when they are closer, then.

When Cedric shares what he knows, Maria grunts at Jack "We'll have to get that taken care of or you'll be a problem all your own." Then she prepares to face more werewolves inside.

Cedric, could we get a channel? Casting weapon of awe, activating my weapon bond (holy), then recasting divine favor at the last second.

Sorry for my slowness! Thanks for the bot!

Maria steps to one side and slashes twice at the wolf.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Attack, iterative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Yuck: Those d20s.

Dam 1, if that somehow hits: 2d4 + 15 ⇒ (3, 4) + 15 = 22
Dam 2, if that somehow hits: 2d4 + 15 ⇒ (3, 2) + 15 = 20

Maria prepares for trouble, calling on Iomedae for assistance.

Divine favor for me as well. It's too good to pass up!

Maria nods, accepting Gadren's assistance with her sword. She is happy to take the lead, knowing that few threats in these woods would be able to bring her down and wishing to protect the comrades that, secretly, she had come to trust.

Maria cracks her knuckles. "Don't take too long settling these folks because I intend to find Estovion before he can cause more trouble. Lazar, you ready to do some tracking?"

Maria immediately interrogates Corvin. "Where did this thing come from? What happened right before it took you? Do you remember what happened while you were possessed?" To Jack, she mutters in a low tone "Back on your feet too, quick. Where's Estovion?"

Maria holds her ground and continues slicing into the evil, undead spirit with righteous power and anger.

Smite evil is still active. Thanks to touch of the spirit world and my weapon being magical, this should do full damage to incorporeal in addition to bypassing any DR.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 4 + 5 = 33
Iterative attack: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 4 + 5 - 5 = 30
Damage 1: 2d4 + 15 + 14 ⇒ (1, 3) + 15 + 14 = 33
Damage 2: 2d4 + 15 + 14 ⇒ (2, 4) + 15 + 14 = 35

Maria hesitates to see what happens to Jack before laying into him. Maybe he was up to no good most of the time, but he didn't deserve to get smacked around. At least more than necessary.

Maria hacks into the horrible thing, her sword glowing brightly now with spiritual energy.

Smite evil. Bypassing DR and doing full damage to incorporeal.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 4 + 5 = 22 Ugh. Auto-miss.
Attack 2, iterative: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 4 + 5 - 5 = 22
Full damage 1: 2d4 + 15 + 14 ⇒ (2, 2) + 15 + 14 = 33
Full damage 2: 2d4 + 15 + 14 ⇒ (3, 2) + 15 + 14 = 34

Maria steps besides Corvus and nods to Jack's words "I know Jack is innocent in this matter so I won't sacrifice him to protect someone who only has a chance of being innocent."

Gadren, was that magic weapon or greater magic weapon? Maria's sword is +1 now permanently.

Attack with outflank: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 4 = 20
Iterative attack with outflank: 1d20 + 12 + 4 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 4 - 5 = 23
Dam 1: 2d4 + 15 ⇒ (4, 4) + 15 = 23
Dam 2: 2d4 + 15 ⇒ (3, 2) + 15 = 20

Maria just hustles into the room to help out. Double move.

Maria grunts and rolls her neck and shoulders after Cedric gets rid of the poison. Then she nods. "Yes, let's find him or her." She adds pointedly.

Yeah Cedric, can I get two lesser restorations? That should be plenty. Thanks.

Yeah and if my crit confirmed, an aoo for Jack. So dead, dead, dead.

Maria stretches her shoulders and doesn't feel as strong as normal.

What are we out here for again? Anyone have lesser restoration on tap?

Does 23 hit/confirm? If so, 54 damage total.

Fort save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Maria nearly fights off the venom but it's too powerful. She grunts as she feels the strength sapped from her.

Strength loss: 1d6 ⇒ 5 Now is that ability damage, drain, or what?

She cures her wounds and slashes back into the monster.

Lay on hands, swift action: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 6) = 15

Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 4 - 2 = 33
Confirm: 1d20 + 12 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 4 - 2 = 23
Iterative attack: 1d20 + 12 + 4 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 4 - 2 - 5 = 23

Dam 1: 2d4 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (2, 4) + 15 - 3 = 18
Extra dam 1 if confirmed: 2d4 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 15 - 3 = 19
dam 2: 2d4 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (3, 2) + 15 - 3 = 17

Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 4 = 24
Iterative: 1d20 + 12 - 5 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 5 + 4 = 16
Dam: 2d4 + 15 ⇒ (2, 3) + 15 = 20
Dam: 2d4 + 15 ⇒ (3, 4) + 15 = 22

Maria hacks hard into the spider then her backswing is less accurate. She grunts in frustration.

AoO: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 4 = 30 Ah almost a crit.
Dam: 2d4 + 15 ⇒ (2, 1) + 15 = 18

Maria gets her balance and hacks into the spider as it stands up.

Maria nods and moves into position and slashes hard at the spider, her steel about to cut deep until she slips in the mud.

Attack roll: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 4 = 17

Maria snorts when she sees the prostitute's ridiculous outfit. "Put some clothes on" is her first instruction. Then she listens stolidly while the others extract information.

Maria pulls out the money and hands it to the madame. "Make sure your information is worth our while."

250 gp marked off.

Maria stands solidly behind Jack, listening quietly and scanning the room.

Detect evil.

Maria nods and states "We should probably talk to this Ostovach then. See what he knows." Assuming the others are fine with it, she leads the way to find him.

Sorry! My dad. Things have been a little crazy with move, baby, new job, etc. But mostly it's just so easy to let intrigue/investigation pass me by when there isn't a super obvious way for Maria to contribute. I just need to put in a little more work to have her engage and RP.

I'm moving several hundred miles now through Thursday and don't have internet set up at the new apartment yet. So I'll be able to keep up with posts a little bit but less frequently and not as well.

So we're all going to the library? Ok by me.

Maria shrugs. "Guess it would be good to learn more first before we plunge in. Something weird is happening here."

K nob Cilas: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
K nob Corvan: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
K nob Markiza: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Maria nods thoughtfully. "I know Greydon and Welgory but haven't heard of this Tregsvor."

Maria nods wordlessly.

Maria grunts in confirmation and mutters to the others in a low tone "He smells bad to me. Very bad. Something is going on here and we're going to find out what." But Maria isn't much of an investigator so her idea for what to do next is pretty blunt. "I say we corner members of the staff one at a time and see what they know."

Maria detects evil at the man as he walks away.

Maria raises an eyebrow at this lack of disclosure but doesn't comment on it. Instead, she asks "Do you know of anything in the area that might need the Order's attention?"

Maria nods with a shrug. "Let's go talk to this fellow." But her stern demeanor makes it clear she trusts this 'master' about as far as any random stranger. Which is to say, much less far than she could throw him.

Maria nods curtly. "Alright then. Let's get back to the Lodge and get some straight answers."

Maria chuckles slightly at the name Mordincrotch then shrugs. "Seems like a lot of trouble out here." She turns sternly to Duristan "Have these werewolves been causing trouble for honest folk before you started hunting them?"

If they're an evil scourge, Maria will want to stay and fight to try to eradicate them. If they're just sick people, she has no interest in this fight.

Maria nods to Gadren, content to accept his help. She casts a spell of her own and looks around the woods, expecting trouble. "I'm sure you'd like to leave, little man. But it won't be that easy. We need light to have any chance out here."

Divine favor. I say we wait a minute to see if the werewolves attack our camp. If they do, we'll need the best defensive position we can get. We're not about to outrun a bunch of werewolves in the dark woods.

Do we all lack darkvision? If so, this is the first party I've been in where that happened. XD

Haha. True that, Jack! Chik-fil-a does get cars through it's drive through quite fast.

Maria stays near the campfire with her back to it so her eyes stay accustomed to the darkness, still armored, in preparation for the worst. She nods at Gadren's idea. "That sounds best."

Maria growls in displeasure and turns to Gadren. "Do you have anything that could help keep an eye out?"

I'm thinking alarm or something. We should probably take turns on watch as well.
