Nau Invishi's page

I thought you decided against the free feat?

Included a backstory.

Thank you.

What are the rumors so far?

What can we spend our gold on? Could I buy a Cloak of Evenkind (it's the elveniest!)? What are "Named Items"?

If I understand correctly . . .

Then all of us are (were?) at this competition when a foreign army invades(d)? Will the game start at this competition or during the resistance that follows? What do we know about the foreigners? Motives? Tactics? Demographics?

Thanks, don't know why I was using 7 for wisdom in Armor but nowhere else. Armor, the GM has said can be used twice in a four block space.

May we have more details about the setting and the story so we can build the fluffy parts of the character too?

This is what I have so far.

Here is my character. I'm looking forward to the possibility of playing a support monk. Advice seems like so much fun.

Nau's blows continue to be ineffective.

Flurry: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Flurry: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Nau cannot seem to land a blow on the lizard.

I can make a acrobatics check.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

I'm not going anywhere.

Nau moves into the room to strike at the Lizard.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"We need more room to fight. Let us press forward."

Keep delaying. :-)

Nau delays.

Nau will bless Thorst with a Protection against Evil.

Would it be possible to move through friend squares and then acrobatics through non-friendly?

Light seems reasonable.

I'm back. Character leveled and everything.

"Welcome, I have been rededicating this shrine to the gods."

"Yes, I am here."

Nau will help them open the heavy stone door.

Yep

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Troubling. But the door is stout, and the only way in. Perhaps whatever skitters beyond this temple will leave if it cannot find easy ingress.

Nau continues his work, but is hyper aware that something out there may want to make him their dinner.

It makes sense to rest when you are out of spells. It would be like telling you that we were unconcerned about your hit point total or ability to rage where they exhausted.

That would only prove his assessment of their character to be correct.

I agree it is extreme and uncharitable as well, but it is not an unreasonable interpretation given that he met the both of you a short time ago in a traumatic and stressful way and that both of you have tried to take charge with insults and implied threats. Nau isn't willing to let himself be bullied by people who he believes want him to be defenseless and unprepared for the dangerous unknown when all he wants is eight hours to recover and honor the gods. People who if they become too injured or weakened will be easy pickings for monsters and demons. It isn't like he is setting up a morlock colony down here.

Nau serving up some Mulan realness. :-p

"The gods are watching. This place glows with their regard. We may not be in control of circumstance, but we can control how we react to them. The gods will know that I give thanks for our salvation. You may wish to rush in to danger underprepared. That is your choice. No matter how the wind blows the mountain does not bow."

The entire shrine is glowing with magic.

To save us all a lot of time on the back-and-forth, I can tell you that Nau currently believes that neither Thorst nor Halara respect the gods; that they are both bullies; that given the attention Thorst is showing Anevia while injured -- but, telling, not showing to the blinded mage -- coupled with his strange possessiveness of her suggests that he may be a sexual predator; and, finally, that Halara may be insane.

This leads him to three conclusions. First, that he will not submit to their bullying, which would color future interactions. Second, that he will not go anywhere with them in his weakened state in case they turn violent. Third, that he will not trust Halara's judgment given that she may be insane. All these conclusions lead him to his present actions. Clean the temple. Reconsecrate it to honor the gods. Rest so that he is not in a weakened state. He isn't budging

I think our villain party gets along better. :-p Aren't we just the most likeable collection of good aligned souls.

Did I fail to convince the NPCs with my Diplomacy check?

"Rushing off without resting is foolish. Halara may speak the loudest, but that does not mean hers is the voice to follow."

This woman is manipulative and unpleasant. Screams, insults, and now threats -- will she cease at nothing to have her way? Complying with this madwoman, will only damage her spirit more.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"It was not this place that turned him into an undead. It was his blasphemy and his betrayal of his faith. And of your plan to heedlessly rush back to the surface, you do not know how far the way is, or if there is another place so easily defended to rest. Who would you help if you made it back to the surface weakened and exhausted only to be slain by the demons who, if you were better prepared, you could have defeated?"

Turning to the rest of the group Nau continues, "We have all suffered a great shock today. For the sake of our own well-being, and for those whose our continued well-being could aid, I entreat you to rest. Calm your minds. See to the needs of your bodies. Return to balance. And, if you desire, help me to clean this temple in thanksgiving to the gods for our continued survival."

"We are not leaving Anevia or Avashnial, master Gwerm."

Using a flint and a tinderbox, Nau lights the remains on fire.

Nau doesn't engage with her unbalanced tirade. She has clearly been effected the most by these traumatic events. Perhaps enforced rest will bring her calm.

"You may be a great warrior with inexhaustible potency, but I am not. I have used all of the with which gifts that Irori has blessed me. We need to return to the surface, but we will help know one if we rush and meet something that we cannot overcome in our weakened state. We have all experienced a great shock. I need time to process this and prepare for what comes. I also wish to give thanks to the gods for our survival. Eight hours of rest will not kill you, but their lack might kill us."

Nau's voice does not change as he calmly re-explains his position, but he doesn't sound like he is budging either.

After the undead dwarf's body is burned, Nau will begin to clean the temple and attempt to re-consecrate it as an act of thanksgiving for his survival. He does not ask for aid, but he will include all those who wish to join.

"I don't know. It shines with magic." The priest will toss her the bag.

Approaching the blinded wizard, Nau will inquire, ""Sir, can you make fire? We vanquished a blasphemous undead, and I thought we should burn the body, and let you rest in the temple for a bit."

Nau reaches down and picks up a pouch off of the dwarf.

"It glows in my sight."

He then begins to drag the undead body out of the shrine.

See previous post. I don't know about you guys, but if I fell into a cavern and was attacked by monsters I wouldn't mind a relatively quiet place to process and let the shock wear off.

"I need to rest to recover my prayers. Our injured companions need rest from the trauma they have undergone. This defiled place needs to be purified. We need to give thanks for our deliverance. Futhermore, this is a defensible place to do the first two needs."

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

"There may be a way to sanctify it, but we should start by cleaning it, and removing his physical presence. Restoring its holiness will be a way to give thanks to the gods for our delivery."

Nau is also going to detect any magic in the defiled shrine.

"We should take the corpse of this thing and burn it, so that it does not return. It has defiled the house of the gods. I would like to rest here for a bit and pray."

Fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Forgot the second fortitude save, which I barely pass.

I was watching Willow with friends.

"Master of Masters, hear you vessel and perfect my broken body."

Channel (Healing): 1d6 ⇒ 3

V asked us to bot for her when she is a man (and a vampire), so if she hasn't responded by the time you write the post for next round could you bot her?

"No doubt they found in you a fearsome foe. This blasphemer is resistant to all but magic and silver."

"Use the magic you brought to bear against the viper and the maggots," Nau advises Golradir.

I believe in us!

Fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Irori must be smiling on his priest because first he resisted the venom of the viper and now the disease of the dead.

Calling on his god for further aid, Nau casts Enlarge Person on Thorst.

I'm okay with being the one hit. I'll just stumble back after the attack?

I'm going to take my five foot step to clear the way for V.

Calm yourself, Iago. I'm saving Enlarge Person just for you, but she can make her weapon magic. It's better to spread the love.
