away team: Marrius moves between Mintash and Kazadar to slide his rapier into a soft spot on the lizardman.
Away team: Mintash is busy watching the minions of his hated enemy when he is taken by surprise by the lizard man. It is only the preturnatural senses honed by years of training that allow him to dodge the blow. Turning to the enemies at hand he launches into a blur of fists and feet.

away team: "Whoh there, those big guys friends of yours Janosz? We'll keep these scaled toughs off you while you handle them." Hoping to buy some time for his less armored crew to gain some distance, Marrius steps between the lizardfolk thug and Salvorazo. With a flourish, his rapier finds just the right place to land on the reptilian.

Shaking his head clear of the psycic assault he immediately thinks a message to Vaisyrharath while dropping into a combat stance. Vaisyrharath, Aubrey: Negotiations have broken down. May need you imminently.

away team: "Like the dwarf says, we wouldn't just stroll in if we were looking for a fight. We are the paying customers the captain here needs to pay you back. That being said, we need the pilot in order for the good captain to get paid." Mintash crosses his arms in a show of looking impatient.
Away Team: Mintash has a look of disappointment as he passes through the entry that the doorman didn't look the least bit intimidated. "If that's Joord then he knows we are here too. Want to keep him waiting to annoy him? And to let him know we aren't frightened of him either I guess? I haven't heard from Vaisyrharathe yet so we need to by him some time to finish his 'seeing' anyway."
The Away Team: "Don't worry buddy. Once the stick is that far up there, it's easy to take out the other way. The last guy almost didn't bleed out..."
"I understand, stealth is unnecessary. I can work with that. Let us be off then."
"Getting into the establishment without causing alarm may be difficult for most of us. I am quite competent at stealth but not subterfuge. Perhaps I can find a window to get in off the main floor if the need arises. Remember, we need to give Vaisyrharath enough time to discern Trinkis's actual location. In any case, I will be shadowing the main group from the rooftops most likely as they approach."
"Indeed not. Let's go get your pilot. Any more delay will only give them more time to prepare now that they know you have more allies."
"Begin your manifesting and stay in touch with the mind link. We could use the extra intel on Trinkis's condition. Some of us can stay behind as to watch over you. I've heard of some of your talents can move to other places with but a thought. Can you also do this? If so you could show up in a pinch. In the mean time we should begin making our way to this gambling hall."
"Coming here may have been more fortuitous than we thought. Hopefully while getting your crewmemeber back we can disrupt the Riedrans plans for the area as well." Mintash seems much more eager to go after the pilot than before. Almost matching Janosz's enthusiasm.
With his introduction Mintash gives a deep bow. "At your service Captain. If it will get us underway sooner I would be more than happy to assist in getting your pilot back."
Mintash rises from his self appointed post in the tent. Hearing that there my be trouble and seeing his new dwarf friend readying for combat he focuses inward as his skin toughens.
"What manner of situation?"
Mintash wanders through the rooms in the tent making sure to not wander far from the entrance.
"Slave is your name? An odd choice... I was told to ask you for something weird but now I think that suggestion was made as a joke of sorts. I would like to see more of this place though, it is fascinating."
"This tent is a curious item. I will wait inside for the transport."
"I am more of a user of magic than a creator. It is a good idea to negotiate in person but do you think it is wise to just show up on his ship without warning him?"
"I never thought to return to my homeland so I have no plans in place to do so. Havakhad, do you know of any oft used methods to get people into Adar?" "For now I think we should continue to negotiate with Captain Marius as you already have a relationship, though that is starting to look like more of a hindrance than a boon at present. If that falls through though, we will need alternatives."
"This Captain Marrius drives a hard bargain. But perhaps his price isn't as ludicrous as it seems. Adar is difficult to reach by air or sea. The mountain peaks rise so high you are likely to freeze on deck. It would take a skilled captain and crew indeed to find a spot to let us off safely. All of the traffic info Sarlona proper is controlled by the Riedrans so avoiding them is another hazard. When I initially left it was on a smuggler vessel crossing the Barren Sea. I'm amazed we made it through the maze off underwater mountains off the coast."
The towers of Sharn still inspire awe no matter how long he's been in the city. Even with looking at the sights, Mintash keeps a sharp eye on the people around the groups looking for suspicious activity. He does his best to not stick out himself.
"That would be wise. I believe some of you are quite well known. You should use your magics to conceal yourselves. The rest of us shouldn't cause much of a stir while moving through the city. I can move quickly if needed in case we get separated. With Vaisyrharath's mental connection we can stay in touch too."
"That's great news Havakhad! In that case we should procure that air transport that was mentioned before. A Captain Marrius I believe it was? If he isn't available we can book passage to the coast and get to Sarlona the way I came to this continent."
To Valsyrhath:
These shards contain an ally of Taratai!? THE Taratai?! How is anything more important? Mintash's jaw drops slightly at the mention of why the shards are so special. "If the inspired attacked the royals, they should have enough motivation to deal with the structure. If we do anything to the tower it needs to be a quick strike then disappear into the wind to get these shards to where they are needed. Conclude your business in the city. I will stay to guard our scryers. If you can find an airship captain crazy enough to bring us to Adar make sure you offer to pay them well. There is a reason airship traffic to the area isn't common."
"Well, if you're offering help there's this Redrian structure being built outside of town that I would very much like to take down. That is if the business with these mysterious shards can wait. What is so important about these particular shards anyway?"
To Vaisyrharath:
Frustration oozing through the connection is apparent Of course something has to be done! But we are just two and they have the site locked down tight. I won't put our brothers in the line of fire for an impossible task. I've probed the defenses some, this will take more than just us.
Sitting across from the dark skinned kalashtar is almost an opposite image. Bald and tanned he sits in a nearly identical position. Next to him is a plain pack with a bedroll but there are no weapons to be seen. Blinking he betrays a small frown as he nods back. He stands and gives a slight bow to Havakhad. He studies the party as they enter, curious as to who they were to be meeting. With little ceremony he simply states, "I am Mintash. Havakhad said we needed to meet you all but didn't give us details." He waits patiently for a response.
Hey- look at that! The kalashtar finally decided to send some agents to save themselves from extinction. ;) Although to be fair I think we got the last one killed, so... good luck guys. Welcome. :) We got here as soon as we could! In all fairness it's only been a couple days since Helkashtai attacked the royal meeting room. Glad you're not gone!
Sorry about the drastic changes but I went with an extra level of monk and 3 lvls of unchained rogue. Dropped str and upped dex as unchained rogue lets one use dex for attack and (at lvl 3) damage for a weapon. Changed the belt from str/dex to dex/con. I'll show the psionics with feats and ki abilities. Extra skill points went to disable device and sense motive. Extra level of monk lets me pick up medusa's wrath a level early. I dropped dragon style for pummeling style to thwart DR. Also, a bit of rogue skills might be handy as you said. The character sheet has been updated with all the things. Thanks for the suggestions about prc's. Psychic fist was particularly tempting but I got used to the idea of possible extra damage dice.
So I just found out the way to convert the Fist of Dol Quor prc is to eliminate it and multiclass into rogue or soulknife... I can rebuild using rogue (unchained?) if that's preferred. It would probably raise my overall power if i did but it would be a major overhaul.
Thanks, for the convirsion I pulled it straight from the book pretty much. I couldn't find a conversion for the class specifically. The only difference I could see to convert it is how 3.5 did skills for prerequisites. The requirement of 4 ranks in know planes would be less in pathfinder as you don't get extra skill points at lvl 1 any more. At least that was my reasoning. I can adjust my skills if necessary. I picked it up more for the story behind the group than the mechanics though an extra +2 to will saves is nice... I'm going to go though the numbers one more time to make sure I didn't goof up the math. I'll also change out the extra speed feat to pick up unlocked talent as a regular feat. I thought it was a bit much to get for free as well but I had to ask. As for the extra ki power, enlightened monk replaces the slow fall ability. The unchained monk can choose slow fall as a ki power but doesn't get it otherwise. At lvl 4 I picked slow fall so the archetype could replace it.
It's like Christmas came early! I think I have everything organized nicely to make it easy to read on the character sheet. The only sticky issue is that kalashtar and the enlightened monk archetype both grant 'wild talent' as a bonus feat. I'm really hoping I can replace one of those for 'unlocked talent' or at least 'psionic talent'. Thanks Aubrey! |
