Mirtha Darklight's page

Everything looks good! Thank you so much for GMing!

Mirtha let's out a loud yelp to shake up the remaining for, then follows up with another spell, this time attacking their mind.

Intimidate, Demoralize: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Flaming Sphere, DC 19: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2) = 7

Daze deals 4 non-lethal damage, basic Will DC 19, gets Stun 1 on a critical failure.

Mirtha redirects the ball of flame towards the enemy in red. Smoke rises from her skin as she waves her arms and then releases another blast of fire at the same enemy.

One action to move the flaming sphere, two to cast produce flame.

Flaming Sphere, DC 19: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) = 5

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Fire: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9

2d4 persistent damage if that is a critical hit

Mirtha raises her hands in the air once again and underneath the construct's feet a ball of molten lava rises out of the earth.

Flaming Sphered

Fire Damage, Reflex DC 19 avoids all damage: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 6, 6) + 2 = 15

Mirtha then whispers a few inaudible words to Zenith. A hissing voice then whispers in the kayal's ear. "Use your blade to make them suffer. No fear, no mercy."

Diabolic Edict

Zenith will get a +1 to skill and attack rolls for 1 round, as long as she chooses to accept the affect.

Two actions to cast flaming sphere, 1 action to cast Diabolic Edict

Mirtha gathers her allies around and channels energy. Red flames appear on the wounds of anyone still hurt and begin to sear them shut.

3 Action Heal 1: 1d8 ⇒ 6

That'll top off Argoni and help everyone else. I think we still have potions for Zenith and Kernal to use. Or I guess if we have the option to repeatedly spend 10 minutes refocusing for Lay on Hands, Mirtha could save that spell.

Seeing that red looks ready to surrender, Mirtha lets loose with a pithy quip to throw them off. Something really creative and cutting that is guaranteed to distract them.

Bon Mot

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

With the rogue's will nice and softened up, Mirtha then lets loose with her pitch.

"Come on, you can see this battle is lost. We are closing in on you. Do you really want to be the last one to surrender? Let your buddy there die for the cause if he wants but we're giving you the chance to walk away with your life right now."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

One action to Bon Mot, two actions for the Diplomacy check

Mirtha will use her hero point to reroll. (I don't think I've used it yet.)

Diplomacy, reroll: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Ok, I have to ask, where do you get a translucent template like that?

Mirtha raises her arms into the air and unleashes a dread incantation. The life begins to drain from are wide area, killing any mold and sucking energy from the three rogues caught within it.

Sudden Blight

Negative Damage, Basic Fort DC 19: 2d10 ⇒ (5, 8) = 13

"The blessings that Sarenrae bestows can also be taken away!" she shouts as the spell completes. Then Mirtha retreats to get safely behind her allies.

I don't know a really good way to draw a burst template on the map, but when you draw a circle anything that is not fully inside it is outside the area of effect on a burst. So it should hit all three goons and not hit any of the allies. I did also provide an example of the template as well so you can see what I mean.

If there is time, Mirtha could also try to treat Avery's bird.

Treat Wounds: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

Mirtha will grab the potions if no one else does. It might also make sense for Klank or Zenith to top themselves off.

Legal Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Mirtha will assist her allies with wound treatment, as she sees that many of them have been injured in the last fight.

I'm assuming that we might have some time for healing. Mirtha is not the best at in the party at Medicine, so she will concentrate on the less wounded members of the party.

Medicine, Treat Wounds - Avery Wings: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

Medicine, Treat Wounds - Argoni: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 8) = 13

Noice!

Mirtha moves up to Argoni and casts guidance to help him disable the panel.

When she hears Zenith cry out Mirtha moves to get a line of sight on her. Seeing that the warrior is wounded Mirtha channels energy. Red flames flicker around Zenith's wounds, searing them shut.

Heal, 2 actions: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

One action to Stride, 2 to cast level 1 heal

I thought they were all the same kind of creature. Mirtha will try to ID pink.

Mirtha climbs up the stairs, then rushes towards where her allies fighting some small winged creatures. Instead of getting a spell out she tries to identify the creatures so that she can shout out a warning to her allies.

Two actions to Stride; then she is going to try to make a Recall Knowledge check against the little flying critters. Mirtha has Nature and Religion +7.

Mirtha stiffens when Argoni hugs her then she squirms out of his grasp. "Yes, I'm glad my oratory skills were of use today," she says. "I just have to hope that they don't do anything to make us regret our mercy."

I was super excited because I never actually thought I'd get to use that feat! It actually came up!

Finally a chance to use Group Impression! As an Expert in Diplomacy Mirtha can target all four kayals with one check!

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Mediocre roll, but hopefully her skill will be enough

Mirtha steps forward and clears her throat, ready to address the kayals as she used to address the courtrooms of Cheliax.

"You know that you are surrounded and that your attack has failed. What you may not know is that the room you chose to barricade yourself in contains valuable and fragile writings that could be easily damaged in a melee. You will be held responsible if anything is damaged. But if surrender right now, I can promise you that we will grant mercy and any punishments for your crimes will be mild, if not out right forgiven. So please, let's end this peacefully today."

Mirtha takes one of the healing potions and puts it into her bandolier.

"I think we should deal with the goons who have locked themselves in the archives first. The longer we leave them down there the more time they'll have to wreak something valuable."

Mirtha moves to get a clear shot at red, then lets loose a blast of fire at the injured rogue.

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Fire: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9

1 to Stride, 2 to cast Produce Flame

Mirtha looks at Argoni and tells him, "Make these thugs stop attacking us!" A high pitched voice hisses inside the halflings head, [smaller]"Yes, mortal, you will make them stop. By any means necessary."

That command is broad enough that Argoni should get the +1 status bonus regardless of whether he attacks or uses Diplomacy

Then takes another tactical step backwards before retreating towards the stairs as fast as she can.

Sorry, but I'd like to get through this fight without going into Dying! One action for the Focus spell, one action to Step, and one final action to Stride

Mirtha blocks the short blade with her magic shield, turning the flesh wound into a minor scratches.

Mirtha takes a tactical step back, then fires a stream of fire at the rogue in red.

Reaction to reduce damage by 5 with shield block, then 1 action to Step and 2 actions to cast produce flame

Produce flame: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Fire damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

Mirtha reaches back and touches Avery's bow. Black smoke trails from her fingers and creeps up the shaft of the bow. The weapon turns black and hot to the touch and now vibrates with magic.

"Sarenrae will make your aim true!" Mirtha hisses as she completes the spell. Then she holds out her grasps her holy symbol and mutters another word. A magic shield of glowing red light hovers in front of the gnome.

Two actions to cast magic weapon on Avery's shortbow, then one action to cast shield

Mirtha smiles, amused at the realization that she is talking with a follower of Razmira. "All lies are laid bare in the truth of the Dawnflower's holy light and then the wicked will be roasted in the righteous heat of her fire. We'll have to see what your power your god has when the flames come for you, as they will for us all.". The gnome suppresses a giggle as she says this.

Mirtha greets Zenith as they arrive and adjusting her tight collar she goes to mingle with the rest of the arrivals.

Yes! Another character that is pretending to be a cleric!

Mirtha nods approvingly when Ithuriel enters the room, sensing another person who has been clearly blessed by the divine. "I am glad to see another person of faith is coming along on this expedition. It is always good to have the blessings of the gods whenever we embark on a dangerous expedition."

Mirtha is a very serious looking gnome dressed in black clerical garments and an oversized symbol of Sarenrae that has been painted in bright, glossy crimson. Her hair is bright orange and rises from her head like flames. Being the second one in the room, she looks Alonza up and down with her eyes narrowed in obvious disapproval before wordlessly walking away to turn in her paperwork.

Mirtha eagerly fills out the paperwork, carefully examining the lines for any loopholes or unexpected implications.

Legal Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"Excellent....They are finally bringing some much needed organization to the Pathfinder Society."

Mirtha signs, then initials the line waiving her right to press charges over incidental damages that may occur in the field.

And she is also going to purchase a lesser antidote and a lesser anti-plague elixir, which cost 3 gp a piece.

Yes, thank you for GMing. And I think Mirtha is going to spend some of her new found pocket change on some antidotes, because it's dawning on me how dangerous poisons can be. They were seldom an issue in 1e.

If Mirtha can act after that healing, then she will direct a two action heal towards Serj and then use a 1 action heal on herself.

Heal, Serj: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Heal, Self: 1d8 ⇒ 7

You know, it's only 3d4 damage to walk through the wall of thorns.

Really? That's a relief. This is my favorite 2nd ed character, but by the gods full casters are fragile! She gets taken down by a critical hit in half the scenarios I've played.

Just making these checks in advance, as they trigger on her turn.

Ok, so just to be clear, the only way Mirtha has any chance of survival is if she gets healing this round. She is at dying 2 and taking recurring damage, which she she very well not save against. I think one of you has Battlefield Medicine.

Or even better lay on hands!

Darn, this was one of my favorite characters I've ever made and I don't think I'm going to survive this one. I foolishly used my hero point rerolling that Diplomacy check, but that poison would probably kill her anyways. Learn from my mistake and save your hero points for crit fails and dying condition!

Anyways since I'm most likely dead, please avenge me!

"Stop messing around with those bushes and kill this thing!" Mirtha yells at Zac. The red in her eyes blaze like smoldering coals. The warrior hears hissing voice in his head urging him to rush to the aid of the two imperiled gnomes.

That's a +1 status bonus to attacks and skills checks if Zac accepts the command, but he does have to be willing to accept the effect.

Then grasping her holy symbol, Mirtha casts sanctuary on herself.

Praying to Sarenrae that this monster doesn't have Attack of Opportunity as well!

"Well I have to say that I'm happy to see you Professor," Mirtha says over her shoulder as the inventor lands with a crash nearby. "I thought that I was going to have to kill this creature by myself!"

If Mirtha can, she is going to Step away from the King, but if that square is difficult terrain, then she will Stride away as far as she can first.

Mirtha tries to keep her distance from the King so that she can cast another spell.

"You are going to face divine judgement for your misdeeds! Do you think a few twigs are going to keep that from happening?

Mirtha calls forth another blast of magic, blasting the area around the King with choking, plant killing smoke.

Sorry I'm not being more creative, but Sudden Blight just seems so good for this situation.

Counterspell check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Negative damage, Basic Fort DC 19, diseased creatures get -2 penalty to save: 2d10 ⇒ (7, 4) = 11

I haven't really had to Seek in combat yet, so it'll be interesting. If I had more level 2 spells, Mirtha would just nuke the whole forest with Sudden Blight instead.

"The monster is trying to escape!"

Mirtha moves closer to the woods, searching for the creature amongst the trees.

Perception +7, Mirtha is Seeking in a 30 ft. cone, and doing it twice. If she does happen to spot them on the first Seek, then she'll spend that last action casting shield

that's a generous interpretation and I will happily accept it!

Wow, crit failure, and on a high damage roll no less. The area we're in should still be entangled, because I didn't want to get any of us in the blast. But at least it clears a path and destroys cover.

Mirtha gazes at the creature and tries to recall anything she may have learned about such a being.

Recall Religion or Nature +7: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Mirtha raises her hands to the sky and shouts, "Sarenrae, smite your enemies! Smoke rises from the ground and the plants in the area begin to wither and die.

Sudden Blight

All non-magical plant matter in the area of effect dies (eliminating natural cover, concealment and difficult terrain), and Mirtha can attempt to counteract magical effects on normal plants within the area of effect.

Counteract: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Negative damage, Basic Fort DC 19, diseased creatures get -2 penalty to save: 2d10 ⇒ (10, 9) = 19

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Sure!
Reroll: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Looks like it was meant to be.

Mirtha steps forward to speak with the being on the trees.

What are we looking at? Can we see any part of it?

"I acknowledge that one has the right to defend their home and should be free from intrusion. But we humanoid people mark the boundaries of our homes with walls, fences and signs so that we know where the boundaries are. The villagers don't seem to know they are trespassing; they just believe that they are being attacked at random."

"And frankly, hanging their heads from branches isn't helping matters. It is the kind of thing tyrants do to the enemies that they have conquered to terrify them. That's not a recipe for peace, and you should know that the villagers did hire us to kill you. But we are not paid killers; we are professional problem solvers and we're open to finding a peaceful resolution."

Diplomacy, Ex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

"Are you speaking in another language?" Mirtha grumbles as she looks at the brass token, then hands it back to the other gnome. "Because frankly, I can't seem to understand a word of what you're saying."

BTW, Zac are you at all interested in using that cold iron spear? Or, alternatively is there anyone that uses a weapon in combat and has a need for magic weapon? If so, then casting that would be Mirtha's first action if a fight breaks out.

Mirtha starts dressing up wounds, inspecting everyone for injuries.

Treat Wounds, Kaclenna: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 3) = 11

Treat Wounds, Serj: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Glad to hear you dad's doing better!

Mirtha raises her arms to the sky and shouts Sarenrae, shine your light on our fallen companions!"

A sickly red light shines, but it is coming from the ground, and not from the sky. Along with the light there is foul smelling smoke and strange whispers. But the enchantment seems to heal, sizzling open wounds shut and stitching broken bones back together.

L2 Heal, 3 action: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 7) = 8

Mirtha can also Treat Wounds, but we got to keep Kaclenna alive first.

Does anyone want to hold onto the spear? If the creature does have cold iron weakness it could be devastating. And Mirtha has magic weapon to bring it up to par with any magic weapons you have.
