Milamber of the Inner Sea's page

Are we waiting on something before knowing the result of the teleport spell? I am OK with the three of us going on. I will admit, we will miss Aladir's damage ability. We will just have to be a lot smarter about how we handle encounters.

Ready and willing to proceed.

I'm OK w/ just three for now. Hopefully we can get someone else to fill in.

Any chance we can get some feedback from our players? I think the GM is waiting on a couple of us to respond.

Assuming Arueshalae provides him with the detailed description of the city and everyone is in agreement, Milamber will cast Teleport once everyone is ready.

"Arueshalae has provided me with the details of the city Alushinnyrra. I can take 4 others with me, we just need to maintain contact with each other."

Teleport On Target Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 12

Milamber responds

"I can teleport, but not without error. It would improve our chances if I have a very clear image of Alushinnyrra. Is there any way you could assist me with that?"

As Milamber follows the tracks, he occasionally glances up to the strange sky. The hairs on the back of his neck rise as an uncomfortable oppressive feeling washes over him. He takes a moment to focus his thoughts and recalls a conversation he has had with Aladir. He hopes the redeemed one - Arueshalae might have some knowledge of this Abyssal place and may be able to provide some assistance in how to proceed.

Query made via Aladir.

""Arueshalae, how do we find this Nocticula? Is there any guidance you can offer us?"

"Apologies Iona. Next time you need assistance with your armor, please let me know. I will be more than happy to help you."

I'm traveling to FL to visit family. My postings will depend on internet/PC availabity. Feel free to bot me if necessary.

Looking around at the environment after they exited the crystal cavern, Milamber realizes just how strange and different the Abyss really is. The normally soothing evening sky dotted with stars is non-existent here.

Not what I expected when I agreed to take on this mission for the Queen, but I will have to steel my nerves against the differences here. This is just the beginning of the strangeness we will face and I must be prepared for anything - no matter how unsettling and different.

Now that we've emerged from the caves, how do we find this demon that we need to prevent from forming an alliance? And how do we manage to do that? What can we say or do that will change a demon's mind?

"Well, I am glad to be out of those caves, but this" Milamber gestures at the strange sky and black spires "is hardly an improvement."

Milamber looks around and tries to see if he can spot any kind of tracks or signs of activity that may provide them with a sense of direction to take.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

"This is the abyss, I imagine there are going to be a lot of strange things we have never seen before. I propose we take the strategy of:

Everyone ready to move past this lava and check out the other passages?"

Not finding anything of value from the enormous spiders, Milamber takes a moment to gather himself. After a quick check, he comes to the assessment that the divine magic from Iona has closed all his wounds. Impressed with her skill, he replies to Aladir "I'm ready to press on."

Milamber will take a quick look to see if the huge spiders dropped anything useful.

"It looks like there is an opening we can check next." he says as he points to the southeast corner of the cave.

Milamber hurls magic fire at the demon, but only one of his rays penetrates the creature's chitinous carapace!

Hyram

Aladir is up!

Does the fact that the rays are touch attacks make a difference?

Milamber will move into the room to get an unobstructed path to the other enormous spider. He ends up just north of his ally Aladir. He casts Scorching Ray at the enormous sized creature.

Mythic Heroism (+4), Shooting into Melee (-4)

Scorching Ray 1 attack: 1d20 + 9 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 4 - 4 = 20
Spell Resistance CL check: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (11) + 31 = 42
Scorching Ray 1 damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 3, 5) = 18

Scorching Ray 2 attack: 1d20 + 9 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 4 - 4 = 19
Spell Resistance CL check: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (7) + 31 = 38
Scorching Ray 2 damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 1) = 16

Scorching Ray 3 attack: 1d20 + 9 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 4 - 4 = 23
Spell Resistance CL check: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (18) + 31 = 49
Scorching Ray 3 damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 3) = 18

52 points of damage total - assuming all three rays hit.

I didn't cast it on Nilus - yet. He is new to the group and I need to recover my Mythic Points/Spells. So, starting the next day he will have it.

That was to overcome spell resistance.

@Hyram Do those rolls include the +4 morale bonus from Mythic Heroism? Both attack and damage rolls are increased.

Milamber will take a step back, the sight of the huge spider was a little disconcerting to him. "Whoa, that is one big spider."

Milamber will shoot fire at the massive creature.

Milamber will cast Scorching Ray at the thing. 3 rays targeting the creature's touch AC.

Scorching Ray 1 attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
CL Check: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (4) + 31 = 35
Scorching Ray 1 damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 4, 6) = 21

Scorching Ray 2 attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
CL Check: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (19) + 31 = 50
Scorching Ray 2 damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 1) = 10

Scorching Ray 3 attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
CL Check: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (3) + 31 = 34
Scorching Ray 3 damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 2) = 8

Perception: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 4 = 20

Pretty sure Milamber has no idea where the creatures are.

"I can't see them Aladir! Where are they?"

If Aladir points to a spot where Milamber can see, he will cast Glitterdust. I will center the 10 foot radius on the spot where Aladir points. If Milamber has to move to see the spot, he will instead cast See Invisibility on himself.

"Ok, let's see about getting rid of some spiders." Since everyone is within 30 feet of each other, Milamber will cast Haste including everyone in the party.

Haste: The transmuted creatures move and act more quickly than normal. This extra speed has several effects.

When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with one natural or manufactured weapon. The attack is made using the creature's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a speed weapon, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.)

A hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses.

All of the hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed. Multiple haste effects don't stack. Haste dispels and counters slow.

"Then I suggest we get as prepared as possible for combat. I've never known spiders to be creatures that can be negotiated with.

Everyone likes a boost in speed - correct?"

Milamber will proceed into the next area to the northeast, looking for any threats that may be seen or heard.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

"I guess we have to explore these caves. There is an opening to the northeast. It seems that is where we get started."

Milamber will start heading in that direction. Looking back at the rest of the party, he adds "C'mon, let's go."

I'm alright, just a little shook up. It wasn't as bad as I thought, but I didn't have to face that guardian. I imagine that wasn't an easy fight. Glad you were with us Nilus, I imagine the Queen was appreciative as well. Sorry there wasn't much time to say goodbye.

So, where do we go to find this Nocticula? Anyone got any ideas?"

Fort DC 15: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Reflex DC 15: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

"Whoa, that was intense! Is everyone alright? I think we did it, the rift is closed."

Milamber looks around at the gloomy existence of where they are.

"So this is the Abyss, not the most pleasant of places I've been to."

Reflex DC 15: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

Milamber focuses his thoughts on dispelling the rift and casts Dimensional Anchor (4th level spell). He will use a mythic point of power to use Wild Arcana.

Concentration check DC 24: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (3) + 26 = 29
caster level 12 + ability score modifier 8 (int of 27) + trait 2 (riftwarden Orphan) + 4 (morale bonus from Mythic Heroism)

Will DC 15: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32

Don't forget you are hasted and everyone but Nilus has mythic Heroism => +4 morale bonus to all checks, attack and damage rolls

"Queen Galfrey may be in trouble, someone should go make sure she is ok."

With everyone safely through the rift, Milamber steels himself for the ritual.

"Before I begin, let me provide everyone with some extra speed."

Milamber casts Haste on everyone followed by touching the page of the Lexicon he received from the Queen to the rift they just went through.

The feeling of strangeness flushes over Milamber. He takes a moment to fend off the energy that threatens to affect him.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

Resisting the energy, Milamber looks around the cavern for any sign of a guardian.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

"This place is definitely foriegn to me. I hope our task doesn't require us to be here very long."

Don't forget your Mythic Heroism morale bonus of +4 to your save.

Milamber casts See Invisibility on Aladir (duration 120 min)

"I can cast a spell to make the guardian visible with glittering dust, but beware it blinds all those caught within it."

Once the group is gathered near the rift, Milamber will say

"We should all go through together, if you would count us down your majesty"

"One of us should be able to see the guardian if it is invisible. Aladir, you can strike at the creature wherever it is located. I think you would be our best choice. What say you? May I enchant your eyes to seek true?"

Milamber takes the page from the Queen and heads to the rift.

Who wants a See Invisibility spell cast on them? I plan to cast haste once this guardian shows up.

Sorry to hear that. I will keep your grandfather in my prayers.

"I think we are all in agreement your majesty, the best way to destroy this machine is to close the rift first. In that aspect, I think we are all ready to proceed. Is the destruction of this thing required before we can close the rift? or can we begin the ritual?"

"It may be possible to stop it with a spell, but the magic is extremely strong. The spell to stop it would need to be equally strong. I fear that my strength is not equal to the one who placed this machine here and enchanted it."

"We tried your majesty, but the thing is heavily enchanted. It keeps restoring itself as fast as we can damage it. We thought that closing the rift might break the enchantment."

"Welcome Nilus, I am Milamber and I am also new to this crusade. We appreciate your enthusiasm and poetry. Let us start the subtraction of this fiendish blight with the closing of this rift. Are you ready to begin?"

"Another sword to protect us is welcome as well. I look forward to meeting this replacement. From what I have heard about Miss Flametongue, she has quite the reputation to live up to. The Queen can be very particular in finding someone capable, so I expect great things from our newest member. All the better, as we are going into the Abyss and we will need all the help we can find."

"Ready when you are your majesty. Let's get started. "

"I will gladly accept the responsibility of closing the rift from the abyssal side. A powerful guardian, most likely a strong demon. We should prepare for a fight."

I am OK with adding the Paladin. Gives us more melee and healing strength.

Sorry about that. We understand you will need some time. Let us know if there is anything that we can do to assist you.

Milamber has rested and prepared his spells. Character sheet updated. Used 2 pts of mythic power - 1 for Mythic Recuperation and 1 for Mythic Heroism

"I have used up most of my magic, I would like to take an hour to regain my spells. I am going in the shelter to rest and prepare."
