guards!: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 2) = 8

As the undead stream out, an unarmored dwarf pushes his way into the middle of the mess. Striking out with fingers and feet, he calls out
"As a stone rolls down a hill, so do misdeeds come back to haunt one!"

Khellek's aid guard aid character, about to get buried under a pile of undead bodies with that roll.

Name: Oggil Redhand, the Pounamu sage. CORE
Alignment: Lawful Good
Race: Dwarf
Class: Monk - 8
Description: As the beard, so is the dwarf. Oggil is an Ouat dwarf who enjoys nothing more than spouting words of wisdom... even if very few people understand them.
He has journeyed long in the path of the jewelled sages, and finds in their mysterious history much of value.

Many thanks, the chronicle looks perfect.

I forgot they got restoration as bonus spells. Another win for Pei Zin.

Lack of status removal would be a real kicker. Stat damage is basically with you for the whole adventure unless there is an in-scenario resource to remove it.

Stat drain would become effectively permanent.

Of course one of the hardest things for it would be finding scenarios that people playing it could actually run together.

Again Pen Zei might help out for some status removal.

Death would be pretty nasty, as you would well, be dead, or at least ejected from HardMode.

So you can't take an archetype of a core class?

On one hand I've been trying to steer away from regular PFS apart from finishing off my missing scenarios (about half of them to be fair). On the other I've been thinking about an ifrit sorcerer for a while.

Flame oracle doesn't even get the Ifrit fire affinity bonus. :-(
Oracle and Witch would be the only full caster classes. Oh and Shaman.

Hmm. Are you allowed cure light wounds? If not healing will be horrendous. Stuck with infernal healing. How would that work for oracles free spells?

Hmm, Pen Zai oracle for the rescue, although we'd still need to solve the cure-light as bonus spells problem.

Would life oracle be able to take the channel revelation, or would that be off limits too?

So, classes, feats, races, spells, traits.

What about items? Not being able to have magic weapons and armor would be pretty tough.

Thanks for the helpful reminder. Oggil is Slow advancement as well.

Oggil is more than happy to have his hide inscribed with a memento of the expedition.

Thanks for the run. It was really good. I was pretty worried about being a level 7, and a monk at that, in a high tier game, but having had the misfortune to GM Ragnar and Sir Godfrey in the past... Rest assured they take apart pretty much everything they go up against. I think I may have GMed Alosnso as well now that I'm looking at it.

"Revered sage of the Amethyst" offers Oggil with a bow.
"While undesirable, I hope you now see your freedom was a price worth a temporary absence of body."

And I'm going to assume this ticks off the "recovers an intact sage jewel and/or convince a member with one to join the jeweled sages FJC?

Oggil nods. "And let them determine what to do with the lich too. He might yet be a valuable member of the order. The temporary removal of his body is but a small inconvenience, and should now bypass the Div's curse."

And me!

"We should take both with us" says Oggil.

"Either it belongs to the sage, or it has been long lost. If they first he will want it, if not, well, maybe the order can use it to make a new gem - they are always on the lookout for intact ones with special properties."

Actually, given we don't have any apparent time pressures now, is there any reason we couldn't taken 20 on searching this? We really don't want to miss anything.

Oggil brushes off lich dust from his fists.

"I hope he does not take offence to our actions. But he is hopefully free of his banishment."

The monk looks around the tomb for any sign of the lich's gem.

perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

"It may pay to also search for traces of magic. Surely he has a hoard here that should be returned with him to the order."

Oggil's eyes also scan the area for books and other historic items.

Oggil steps forward, burning his ki as a scribe might a candle late at night.

His hands glowing with holy light, Oggil once again launches a lightning flurry of attacks. Again two of the attacks look like they might get through the lich's formidable defences.

will,dwarf,still mind,heroism: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 37
It is not just Ragnar who is getting the 20s!

I was thinking of Lem keeping up the bardic performance and then casts silence behind the sonic wall (making sure we are not in the area of effect), hopefully cancelling it out . He can then move up 20' closer. If I were that lich I'd be dimension dooring out of there, or fireballing ground zero. But DD backwards and forward through that sound wall and blasting us from a distance would be a nasty tactic.

Unfortunately smite specifically says: As a swift action, the paladin chooses one target within sight to smite

will,heroism,prayer: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 23 Extra +2 if a spell, and another +2 if an enchantment

Oggil steps forward, blocking the lich into a corner, before going to town on him with flaming fists. His first two blows rock the lich. Several other seem to land, but how effective they are remains to be seen.

I forgot about the prayer, extra +1 to hit and damage

Oggil dashes into the room and makes a single attack against the lich.

attack, haste: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 = 20
damage(magic,bludgeoning): 1d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + (5) = 14 1d6 is fire

But it is a weak one, and likely of no threat to the caster.

Oggil delays for a moment or two, expecting a haste spell to arrive, and somewhat upset by the sudden change in the situation.

Delays until after Alonso, but will then move into the room to get next to the lich

will, heroism: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19 My luck with saves has not been good; extra +2 if a spell; and extra +2 if an enchantment (these stack); though somehow doubt that will be enough to make a difference.

What, against the lich, or against the div?
While Oggil would prefer to take him intact, if Sr Godfrey draws on the lich, Oggil will be but one step behind. The way he treated Saruna (and those other poor unfortunates) doesn't sit well with him. Obviously he would prefer to avoid the fight, but he won't back away from it if it comes to it.

Oggil scratches his bald head.
"The mouse does not presume to know the motives of the Elephant, but must scamper from under its foot all the same." he starts.

"Sir Godfrey, I see no advantage in attempting to destroy the body of Sinuhotep here and now if you only propose to take the gem you think he exists within to the council of sages. He will reform with them, or go to them intact. The needless violence offers the chance of harm to both the amethyst jewel, and the sages long term good will for the order."

He then turns to the sage. "Although, if I understand this correctly, if we were to render this body...incomplete, you implied this would allow the jewel to leave and thus to break you from your cursed imprisonment here. So would this not in fact, be doing you a favour?"

Oggil doesn't have a moral concern about this, but he is a monk rather than a priest or paladin. He is clear about the value of the history that the lich offers and that his instructions are to bring the lich back. After that the other jewelled sages can determine the best course of action.

"The leaf knows little of the wind that blows it from the tree." notes Oggil.

"What can you tell us of Surma. I am aware that Div's are evil creatures, but does she have any weaknesses, or threats that we must prepare ourselves against? How can you help in a battle with her?"

By the way, thinking about chronicles, I wrote down that Oggil was regular progression, but he is actually slow.

SM: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"Saruna still exists, though she, ahh, lives not. She bears you no love for her state."

He pauses "Who were you thinking might yet lead the sages?"

"The sages are led by the Diamond Sage, named Tahonikepsu. Osirion is ruled by the Ruby Prince, Khemet III."

"It is a long trip back to the Sanctum of the Sages. " he adds pointedly.

"We are members of the pathfinder society, which has been instrumental in the reformation of the jeweled sages." states Oggil.

"So far the diamond and sapphire sages have reclaimed their places. But we were hoping to track down the amethyst sage..." he says, peering at the elderly figure, wondering if there was a sage jewel hidden in his robes.

"The Satrap is long dead." announces Oggil.

"Are you the Amathyst sage? If so we have some to seek your wisdom and let you know of the rebuilding of the order."

Are the doors the area at the top of the map?

"Truly with allies such as you, I feel as confident as the eagle soring high about a mountain."

"Trouble is never where it is expected" notes Oggil.

"How long does the spell last?"

Happy to accept any and all buffs. I don't think Oggil has any active at the moment though.

Oggil nods to the paladin and then joins him in a jump across the gap.
Takes then for 17

"The insects benefit from the shade of the trees as much as the animals." notes Oggil, gesturing toward the wand of shield of faith.

"Though I see little threats here presently. We didn't see those ghouls before they sprung upon us either."

Auri is in a different game :-(

"Let us finish searching the urns and see if there are other clues that remain here?" suggests Oggil.

The dwarf looks rather relieved at having the curse relieved.

"Untempered steel breaks faster than tempered." notes Oggil.

Then after a moment e reluctantly acknowledges "But when pushed hard enough, no temper will hold.".

"The teaching of the Olut are tougher than any eons old necromancy. " smiles Oggil.

He does however quaff a healing potion.
CSW: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 5, 5) + 5 = 20

"And this one removes curses?"
He drinks that one too.

Oggil grits his teeth against the pain, remaining as stoic as a dwarven monk possibly can be.

He arises, and grins evily for a moment. "Well, I don't seem to have become a lich."

Climbing out of the table, he stands and flexes his fingers, waving them in a "magical" manner before declaring "azah kar zothreomm bexwen" and gesturing in a magnificently magical manner.
perform(act): 1d20 ⇒ 14

Sadly, nothing happens.

"Alas, a stone, even when dropped in a birds nest, is still a stone, not an egg."

"Stone Endures." noted Oggil. He relaxes as much as he can in anticipation of the trials ahead.

Oggil waits for the others to gather around. "So what does a vampiric touch spell actually do?" he asks as he gets into the impression.

"Forewarned is forearmed, but any defences you could provide me would be appreciated."

"To be reborn... wouldn't you have to be dead first?" asks Oggil.

He looks around somewhat reluctantly before offering.

"I am perhaps the best equipped to deal with the risks of this rite. Perhaps I should try lying down."

Unless anyone interrupts him, Oggil approaches the niche and tentatively tries lying down in it.

"If you drop a stone it falls down. Time and time again. "

He pauses, wondering if the message has got through.

"Ask Saruna about what happened to her. I suspect these bodies may have had a similar fate."

The dwarf nods “[b]disharmony may be the undoing of us all.[b]”

"Bodies aplenty would seem likely in here. But which one?" he muses.

Oggil cautiously approaches the formerly secret door and then gazes within...
perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

"As the mists lift, the mountain that was hidden is revealed."
