I'm good. Thank you all for an amazing experience.

My grandfather always taught me "Refusing charity is the most selfish thing you can do, cause your putting your own pride over someone else's chance to do a good deed." So I will not object. :)

Sulii, Giving up your boxes is more than enough (And I can't imagine the Aspis will show up much at level 17+...) and with hendric's 8, I just have to pay my own prestige of 2 for restoration. Totally manageable and just a blip on the radar. :)

A.) Cool
B.) Okay, so I need 32 prestige and 2 for my restoration. Sulii gives me 24 of his boxes, and Hendric gives me 8,then I've got my 32. :)
C.) Thanks! No rush, I'm not gonna start right away, gonna let some other stuff I'm running finish.

Alright, Just to make sure I'm understanding. We said that I could get my body back, which means I just need a raise dead? Or do I need a resurrection on my vacuum cleaner dust? I'll happily pay the 4 prestige myself for the negative levels. Just need to know if Sulii has some boxes left or if Hendric has to chip in to rez me.

O.O

THANK YOU SULII! YOU ARE THE BEST!

*Tiny Wayang invisibile hug*

Thank you very much Hendric.

Heheh, I wondered, Super cool. :)

Also, Dampen Presence is a rogue talent! MUHAHAH! I CAN HAVE MY CAKE AND EAT IT TO! HAHAHAHA!

Ehem. That out of the way, I super appreciate you running this game Xavier, it's been a super awesome experience, top to bottom. :)

Gah. I guess i'm gonna have to eat it and spend my advanced rogue talent to get that feat so I can stop being beat by that. I really wanted that -2 to dex with every shot to...

And 24 boxes I can use, plus my own prestige, I'm good to pay it, but I certainly wouldn't object to some help.

Wow, super cool to see how others handled it.

Also... please sate my curiosity! How did she see me?! I've personally got my money on her just having that insane of a perception.

Aw. Poor shiny. Worth a shot.

*Cough*, don't forget to loot the room! Least he can do. Bet those blade golemns had some goodies... and if we didn't completely destroy that avenger, purifying that might net a sweet weapon. Just advice from a dust cloud.

Kinda sad we didn't manage to kill her. But that was my own fault I suppose.

Thanks again Hendrick for putting up with me trying to be clever.

Though, can I know HOW suliji spotted Nox now? It's killing me trying to figure out what I have to do to counter whatever it is she did.

Day job Dance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

I've banked a lot of prestige, no worries, and we'll make some fair coin off this mission, so I'm not to worried about it. I want her DEAD for this stunt though. And I also want the team to finish the mission at the very least, preferably with me being the only casualty.

Kaldane looks to Ratarion and readies to cast some healing magic on him if the anti-magic field somehow doesn't prevent the damage transfer.

It should, but just in case "She has a thing". >.< Readying both a cure serious and a quicken cure serious if he's hurt by Geatan's shots. KILL HER!

Think Kaldane should focus on healing for now? Let you guys try and take down Suliji? I also think reading a dispel for a counterspell might be a good idea. I'd love to creeping doom the caster, but unless we have a way to ground her, don't think that'll work.

I'm not yet... no, wait, yes, I'm dead. As a doornail. After trying to help her. That ship has sailed.

Perhaps hit Suliji with non-lethal until we can get the ring off Ratarion? Or the meaner option, have Sulii sunder his finger off... >.>

Geatan unleashes his attacks, first at the golem, then at the hand if the golemn explodes.

first attack: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (20) + 29 = 49
dommage adamantine:: 1d8 + 29 + 1d8 + 29 ⇒ (1) + 29 + (8) + 29 = 67
second attack:: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (5) + 29 = 34
dommage adamantine:: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Third attack:: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (16) + 24 = 40
dommage adamantine:: 1d8 + 29 ⇒ (1) + 29 = 30
Fourth attack: : 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23
dommage adamantine: : 1d8 + 29 ⇒ (8) + 29 = 37
blessing of fervor: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (19) + 29 = 48
dommage adamantine:: 1d8 + 29 ⇒ (8) + 29 = 37

Crit? first attack: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (1) + 29 = 30
dommage adamantine:: 1d8 + 29 + 1d8 + 29 + 1d8 + 29 + 1d8 + 29 ⇒ (5) + 29 + (4) + 29 + (6) + 29 + (4) + 29 = 135

My apologies if any of that is wrong. Don't suppose anyone knows if he has an ability to let him reroll that crit confirm?

Sorry, I was going to earlier today, but I couldn't figure out how to do his attacks. >.<

Géatan, I think we're waiting on you.

I moved him... hopefully to a decent place, I still needed to keep everyone in range for cure spell.

Seems like a fair plan to me. I'll admit i'm not 100% sure what spellslots kaldane has left at this point.

Kaldane steps back and flicks a hand up to heal some of the pain that's been inflicted on him and his teammates

Mass Cure Serious: 3d8 + 28 ⇒ (3, 5, 5) + 28 = 41

Well, apparently it's ultra powerful, like +4 or so ultra powerful if my math is right. Even a +4 Adamantine Falchata should have 28 hardness and 53 HP, and I barely singed it. :( Good flipping grief.

Kaldane steps over and reaches down, touching the Falcata.

Erosion touch: 15d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 3, 1, 3, 6, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 1) = 51

Then reaches up and in a flash touches Geatan.

Quickened Cure Serious: 6d8 + 28 ⇒ (8, 7, 3, 6, 4, 5) + 28 = 61

Okay... I THINK I have a good plan of attack.

Kaldane has this nifty ability called "Erosion touch" which will do 15d6 to a construct or object that should destroy even an adamantine magic weapon unless it's A ultra powerful or B I'm really unlucky. That'll save a spell. Then I'll quicken heal Gaetan... and hope that Kaldane doesn't get killed I suppose.

I appreciate this.

I'm amused by the idea of "UNLIMITED COSMIC POWER" being used to summon a vacuum cleaner.

That's just rude. I hope you don't say that means I need a true rez. :P

They always have a thing. Pouts

If you don't mind me asking. How did Suliji see me to target me with the spell?

I wouldn't mind. I'll just be throwing spells though, not much talking, cause, well, don't like taking other people's characters out of context, but to save GM brain processing I wouldn't mind tossing his spells.

I'm fine. Course I'm in a dust pan, so my comment doesn't mean much. :P

I mean, honestly it doesn't, but it's created by the shadow dancer with the shadow dancer's alignment, so.... *Shrugs* Dunno

Welp, that's that. Surprised it took this long honestly. I know you guys are angry, but if someone could get a dustpan so I only have to come up with the prestige to ress instead of true ress, i'd appreciate it.

Nox poofs into a cloud of dust, his equipment falling to the floor with a clatter.

Xon similarly wilts away into nothingness.

Sorry guys. I am, apparently, wrong genre savvy and will probably pay for it with my life. :(

As for the Xon thing, my intention was to hopefully resolve the issue in a way that would leave Hendric's conscious clean, if angry with Nox, without having to knock him out. Since Xon is useless in the fight anyways, I figured that blaming it on the shadow and even "dismissing him" might allow us a loophole to prevent actual PVP.

In short, I was being to clever for my own good, and it backfired massively.

In character though, the "Path to hell" is just fine by Nox. He's not a holy knight of a god, he's a assassin without the prestige class. He is FAR more likely to kill someone, anyone, than risk letting that person kill others. Nox is absolutely the kind of person to answer the question of "Should we kill baby hitler" with a "Absolutely". That gets into ugly alignment debates, but that is his character and until now playing that way has worked out, and even helped in a few situations where somebody had to be the "Bad guy" of the group.

Either way, I guess I'm trying to say is I'm sorry for causing trouble. I don't know if I got played, and I don't really care. "Cause My character would do that" is a terrible excuse for making the game unfun for others, and I'm sorry that I did that even if it was on accident.

Nox steps a smidge to the side and then launches another barrage of arrows at the enemy.

Xon. Eat the bastard.

Arrow Vs FF: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 8d6 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (5, 6, 4, 3, 4, 6, 4, 2) + 15 = 53-2 to AC vs all, -4 AC vs self (Non stack)
Arrow Vs FF: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 8d6 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (3, 3, 2, 5, 4, 1, 5, 3) + 15 = 46-2 to AC vs all, -4 AC vs self (Non stack)

Sniper Stealth: 1d20 + 55 ⇒ (1) + 55 = 56

Apparently, I'm still cursed.

I think since Kaldane put the heroism on me and the only other effect that can be canceled is my vision elixer, that automatically gets broken. Also, I figured with the constructs but hey, we've faced weirder things.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Nox sighs and sets his construct bane arrows in.

Hope this works... Suliji, I know you can hear and see me, stay safe, we'll fix this once we handle this thing.

Arrow Vs FF: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 8d6 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (3, 3, 4, 1, 6, 4, 1, 2) + 15 = 411 Str Damage, -2 to AC vs all, -4 AC vs self (Non stack)
Arrow Vs FF: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 8d6 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (5, 5, 3, 4, 1, 4, 4, 6) + 15 = 521 Str Damage, -2 to AC vs all, -4 AC vs self (Non stack)

Sniper Stealth: 1d20 + 55 ⇒ (2) + 55 = 57

Also...He whispers, keeping his voice low, and not speaking to the message spell....

Ninja'd.

Okay guys, I'm gonna be up front here, cause I'm not sure how to handle this in society.

Part of Nox's schtick is he's the society's assassin. He cleans up people that the Society has deemed to dangerous to just let live, despite the society's general "Don't murder people" attitude.

Right now? This guy want's to set the charau-ka of Usaro to slaughter THOUSANDS of people. I'm a huge lore buff, so I know how bad the Charau-ka are... they are just as bad, if not worse, than Zon-Kuthon's insane cultists. Nox has done a Mwangi mission or two and has dealt with those things, so he knows in game just how evil and horrible they are... Honestly? Ever since the bastard showed up in our notes I had hoped we got him or Stachalto so it'd be an easy choice to kill them.

I know that Hendric wants to finish the mission and just take Suliji in... but Nox is 100% gonna side with Suliji if only for the chance to kill this particular Patron. Especially Now that he's met her and reminded him of his previous interactions (I hadn't actually made the connection before).

The problem is, this strays really, really close into PVP territory, and well, guild rules become a problem. Nox is 100% going to kill this Patron, but I also don't want to put you guys in a position where the only way to stop that from happening is to fight Nox, which you technically can't because of the no PVP rules, and that's just kinda not fair.

So... stepping away from our characters for a moment, how do we resolve this within the rules and without breaking our characters?

Yipes.

Don't worry Suli, just take a deep breath with me....

He makes several loud breaths in and out.

Okay? Now, just talk with us. If your convincing, I'm more than happy to kill the man myself and use his head instead of yours. But our info said you where going to try and pin this on the pathfinder society. Not to mention the business with the dragon and the crazy lady with the god snot.... so just focus on me, focus on your breathing, and let's talk this out... we're just gonna hold onto the guy for a moment, he's not going anywhere, and your perfectly safe..

Can she see me? Cause if not, she wouldn't know where her sword is to grab it... I'm just a voice in the shadows.

Suliji, it's okay... I know what an awful piece of dung this man is. So what's going on? You just gonna murder him? Cause frankly, I'm okay with that, but we needed to make sure that the pathfinders aren't going to suffer for it...

Nox "oofs!" at the heavy weapon.

Oh good grief that's heavy... how do you wield this thing? Okay, we're all here, those explanations now please?

Nox draws his bow and points them at the swords that are clambering around.

Damnit Henderic! You wanna take her down, you can get your own ass on your own high horse in here and do it, but I. Am. Not! There is something else going on in here, and I doubt it's good, and I NEED you to get in here and be ready to do battle before WHATEVER THE HELL THAT JUST WAS decides I'm a problem!

He stops for a moment and in a quick decision moves up to Suliji.

Suliji! Drop your sword! I'm next to you, I'll hold it. I swear that if you speak the truth I'll protect you, but I can't win a fight against my own team! Why where those swords flying, what's going on? Ratarion, I swear if you don't open your mouth and prove your not dead or mind controlled or something I'm going to shoot you in the leg to make sure!

Nox sighs deeply.

I'd very much consider it Suliji. He's a man of his word... he won't hurt you if you obey, but I'm an assassin, I can't stop him if he's determined.

Nox looks at her with a sigh.

He's a might touchy right now. You must understand... the security here IS rather impressive.

With a motion of his hand, he draws the shadows around him like a cloak, disappearing from sight.
Stealth: 1d20 + 55 ⇒ (8) + 55 = 63
Hendric, what part of the patron is here, unharmed are you not hearing? Something is going on here!

Nox's voice calls out to Hendric.

Ratarion is here, Alive, and Suliji had me dead to rights. She chose not to kill me, and I owe her at least the chance to listen to what's going on. Our contract is that we bring a Traitor's head on a pike... if Suliji isn't the traitor, we'll have blow this whole thing!

Though Ratarion can't see him, he can feel the glare from nox.

You might wanna speak up, and fast, or else you've have a VERY insistent knight on your tail with a VERY pointy lance.

Heh, ninja'd in pointing out the contract.

He mutters under his breath through the message spell.

Boss, Suliji and Target are both here... Suliji seems to be non-hostile? Proceed with caution.
