Obsidilan Pitch's page

Thanks for running while you could. Take care!

Indeed. Be safe. Elfriede.

Masked in a crow battle mask himself, Obsidilan takes carefl aim to fire his crossbow when the undead is in range.

Knowledge (religion) + Monster Lore: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 3 = 21
Seeing the murder crow above, Obsidilian retrieves his battle mask and puts it on. The inquisitor then loads another crossbow bolt into his hand crossbow.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
"Pharasama!" Obsidilan exclaimed. "No doubt a trap for anyone wishing their freedom from this place. But we may have to consider running that gauntlet unless other avenues are close to us."

Climb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
The inquisitor quickly scrambles up the barricade to slide down the other side and fire his hand crossbow.
Hand Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Dmg.: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Obsidilan holds out his hand crossbow. "I need to get close. 10 feet."

Knowledge (religion) + Monster Lore: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 3 = 24
"If you don't kill it quickly, it will alert other undead, so be sure." Pitch whisper up to the half-elf.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
"Look!" The inquisitor points to the others. "Candlelight. Coming in from the other side of the barricade."
Turning his head, Obsidilan continues, "And I heard something. Butcher shop. Possibly in the basement."

Sorry, guys. Spent the day taking wife to a hospital an hour away for a procedure, so I haven't been on the forums much today. Will get caught up tomorrow.

Spinning from emotion to emotion, Eshki turns on Obsidian. "You'll do no such thing! The poor girl said she's on our side. If she's under a curse, well. I know something of that myself." Eshki will take some time to try and make Sizy feel a little more comfortable, while the others investigate the inside of the boathouse.

Inquisitor Pitch stands his ground, staring back into Eshki's eyes. Odsidilan flinches minutely as the sorcerer's beautiful eyes catch the pharasman offguard for a moment.

The inquisitor takes the rusty spear, gives a few practice jabs, and looks at the locked bolted 'taxes' box.
Thinking aloud, Obsidilan ponders "Should I risk the weapon for the contents inside..likely not."

The ooze is quickly taken apart by Giradan's spear and Caolaidhe's greataxe, and soon there's not much left but the eye itself, devoid of its transparent shell. It rolls to take in its killers, its iris a brilliant whitish-blue, and then falls still.

Combat Over - again

The bunk room the hag eye ooze fled into is decorated much more poorly than the office below. Here and there, a somewhat-rusted spear lies against the wall, and shields in white and yellow hang from the ends of bunks. Most of the chests at the foot of the bunks have been broken into by force, their contents strewn across the room as if by a tornado. There is a chest labeled 'taxes' in the far corner, though it's still locked and seems to have been bolted to the floor.

"Good work you two", the inquisitor said drily.

Now that the fight is over, Giradan has a question:"You, Obsidilan, you said this thing was a hag's eye ooze. What does that mean?"

"A Hag's Eye Ooze is a special magical construct that only hags and some witches can create. The central eye, that I was trying to burst, is the central controlling eye of the mass. With the central eye gone, the hag directing the ooze is still out there", Odsidilan stated. "We are not out of danger yet."

Pitch takes out his hand crossbow, loads it and cocks the hammer. "Indeed."

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Inquisitor Pitch interupts. "She's a changeling. Likely hasn't chosen to hear her Mother's Call..yet. If she succumbs to the Call, then we'll end her. The Hag's Eye ooze is still in the vicinity. I say we make chase!" The Pharasman states.

Perception (assist): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
"The hag's eye ooze is still under the effects of my bane spell. We should press the advantage while we have it!" Pitch growled.

Knowledge (religion) + Monster Lore (Ex): 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 = 12
Obsidilan was stymied by his effective attack against the hag eye ooze. The inquisitor's was surprised by the magic missile attack over his shoulder. And now some undead from the waters have come to join the bad.
"Pharasma's curse upon you!" The inquisitor barked, casting bane on his enemies. 50-ft. radius. -1 penalty onn attacks and fear saving throws.

Pitch nods to himself, and steps forward, brandishing his morningstar, and attempts to smash the central eye of the ooze.
Morningstar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Crap!
Dmg.: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Inquisitor Pitch considers Caolaidhe's description.
Knowledge (arcana) + Monster Lore (Ex): 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 3 = 24

Around you, crew-members from the Nixie’s Impulse cling to the stone steps. One, battered by the river’s fury, slips away, and as he does, a ghostly figure in the water seems to embrace him, dragging him down with her. Then, another seems to be pulled into the water, until only the six survivors who climbed away from the river are left - and one other. A few yards away lies the captain. His breath is ragged, his injuries obvious - his right hand is mangled, and his right leg has a funny bend to it - but he still breathes, even if his eyes are closed.

A human dressed all in black leather reached shore and threw up whatever water remained in his lungs.

Hello, all. Obsidilan's player is working another 12-hour day and he doesn't want to get in trouble at work playing Pathfinder.
So he'll post when he gets home this evening.

Obsidilan is also at Level 3. It's time to bring some pain!

Obsidilan will kick in the 250gp for the two wands.

If Giradan doesn't wish to, Obsidilan will carry the wand(s).

I work 12 hours on Monday, so I won't be able to get started on leveling up Pitch until after work.

I echo Eshki's and Partisizya's sentiment. I'm very honored and thankful for the invite.

Answer 1. Concerning that hags will be one of the main focuses of the campaign, I came into this recruitment knowing subjects can and likely will get very gritty. According to what edition or supplemental material you read, hags often literally bewitch unsuspecting males into mating with them to create changlings. And hags have been know to perform disturbing acts on others, above simple curses and the like.

I might what to recommend this if you are unsure or know your will be posting questionable posts. Create a spoiler tab like this..

Answer 2. I also would not be opposed to leveling up to level 3 for the same reasons Eshki stated. But there are pluses to starting a new adventure at low level, as a way to ease the players into the setting. So I'm of two minds on this, but I will yield to the majority vote.
