Paid the xfer rune. Unfortunately there are no other items I'd like to buy now. What I want is too expensive, and what I can't afford I don't want...

Whoa, that's a lot!

Penflower takes some time to breathe in the previous fight. He says "Crazy how a werewolf can command lightning like that."

Bless your brain Mac! I say we go back to heal. These runes will make a huge difference.

I'd also like the other striking rune on my longsword :-)

Jsus!

Penflower keeps his attacks on the flanked werewolf.

Repeat the exact same actions from last round, Spellstrike with Ignition on the werewolf, then Shielding Strike conflux spell.

Spellstrike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2) = 6

Strike, MAP: 1d20 + 11 - 10 ⇒ (8) + 11 - 10 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Penflower takes advantage of the flanking situation and swings his flaming sword as payback for the nasty spell the man cast. Then he does a special attack that raises his shield.

Spellstrike with Ignition, Shielding Strike conflux spell

Spellstrike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5) = 16

Shielding strike, MAP: 1d20 + 11 - 10 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 10 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Hero point reroll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

ow

Penflower runs after Mac. Due to having bigger legs, he is able to do something extra on top of running, so he raises his shield.

Stride x2, Raise shield

Society: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Penflower thinks a peaceful gesture wouldn't help here. He worries this could be a call for help.

Penflower suggests they explore further east.

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Penflower shakes of the weird feeling from the wisp, calls up his magical shield, changes his stance and swings at the creature, using a strange attack that makes his weapon different somehow.

Shield spell, Arcane Cascade, Force Fang

Force damage, automatic hit: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Penflower thanks Hagrym for his treatment and fixes his shield before suggesting moving on.

Unfortunately I used the shield spell last round so I could activate Arcane Cascade, and it only has 5 hardness.

Fortitude save, enfeebled 1, arcane cascade: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 23

Penflower moves to flank the red creature and swings a fiery sword.

Stride, spellstrike with ignition

Spellstrike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 1) = 5

I see, thanks. It did sound too good to be true.

Penflower says "These are cairn wights... They suck your life out of you, I just felt it, it's not nice. Don't get killed by them, you'll rise as one of them."

Not sure how I could translate this into in-game talk, so @Team, feel free to read my spoiler above, it has meta info on them.

Fort 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Fort 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

So, there's an interesting interaction here. I picked the Aggressive Block feat this level. We need to decide how it's going to work in the PbP format. When I shield block the first attack, I'd want to shove yellow away from me. Then yellow needs to choose whether it's shoved or is now off-guard. But the text says it is off-guard until the start of my next turn. Does this mean I can't make use of the off-guard? In any case, if it gets shoved, it can't do the second attack.

Penflower takes the hit and assumes a more defensive position. He pulls up his magical shield, tries to remember what he knows about this creature and assumes a fighting stance.

Shield spell, Recall Knowledge religion, Arcane Cascade

Recall Knowledge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Hey I will probably slow down posting now until after new years. I think I'll still be able to post once or twice.

Aid Mac in Recall Knowledge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Penflower wonders about the reason for the secret cave to exist and also where they are, as he discusses with Mac what this is.

Penflower sees that the group is going well. He sees that the creature is focused on Mac, so he lowers his defenses for more firepower, literally!

Recharge Spellstrike, then spellstrike. If the creature attacks me, and it makes a difference, I will Emergency Targe for an extra 2 AC.

Spellstrike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 3) = 13

That's double damage

Although Penflower is used to seeing Jon and Mac's excellent fighting skills, he is still impressed by them. Not wanting to lag behind, he swings his sword summoning his fire at the hurt creature. Then he raises his shield at it.

If yellow is still up, target that one, if not, attack red.

Spellstrike with Ignition: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 6) = 14

Ooops, totally missed the save.

Penflower moves into the fray. He, then, raises his shield and swings at the nearby Yellow scallathrax.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 211d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Following Mac's lead, Penflower goes to the northern secret door.

Penflower looks down the chute and realizes it's a bit pointless to scream after Garidan. With a sad voice, he says "I'm sorry, my friend." He asks for a few minutes to think about Garidan in life.

Using this time to regain my Focus point, hehe

Looks like only door left to open, in the bottom part of the map, so...

Penflower pushes the last door open with his shield.

Penflower attacks with the full might of his magic, trying to get this spirit down.

Spellstrike with ignition, then raise shield. Not sure if I'm flanking with Mac...

Spellstrike, frightened 1: 1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 1 = 28
Damage, arcane cascade: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6) = 17

Frightened reduces to 0

Will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

From the map, the ghost is already in reach.

Penflower is scared by the entire thing that's happening. He uses a new spell he has learned and turns his sword into pure magical energy and swings it at the ghost, easily harming it. Then he raises his shield and assumes his fighting stance.

Using Force Fang Focus spell to automatically hit for 1d4+1 force damage. Raise shield and arcane cascade.

Force fange: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Sorry to see you go Garidan.

Penflower is curious about the secret passageway. He asks Jon [b]"What sort of instructions are you looking for. We could look into this cave here. It looks interesting. He summons a magical light that flies into the cave as far as the spell goes.

Casting Light and sustaining it to move it in.

We still here?

Looks like the skeletons are for the wisps to embody and live on?

Penflower says "Fine, wine is not my thing, and I probably wouldn't try some from here, but let's get that over with. Maybe we find something to sell back in Otari."

I'm here and ready to roll!

AAAh, now I see your math. Thanks.

Penflower puts his new shield before him as he opens the door.

@GM: I had the shield spell up, which allows me to block spells. Also, my hybrid study allows me to block spells with my regular shield as long as I have Arcane Cascade up, which I did.

Where did those 11 damage come from? Green skellie hit me for 6+6=12 up there.

I can take the bracelet. Then it's 15gp for each with 3gp extra. For beer?

Penflower says "I propose we go south."

I take damage despite succeeding in the save? If so, I'll shield block with shield spell.

Penflower steps, attacks the skeleton between himself and Mac, and raises his shield.

5ft step, strike, raise shield.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 291d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Fort save with Arcane Cascade bonus: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Penflower walks fast past a skeleton to help Mac, seeing that the skeletons are busy with Mac, then he swings his sword while setting it ablaze.

Stride, Spellstrike with Ignition

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1) = 8

Also, I'm walking around with a Light spell bobbing over my head.

Penflower says "Ah, my sword will have to do." He casts a shield spell, and takes a step forward to let Garidan reach the skeletons.

Trying something new. Cast Shield, enter Arcane Cascade, then move 5ft to give Garidan some space.

Pen comments on Mac's idea "We just need to figure out how to put her soul to rest. It clearly has to do with Arzinae, her lover. But I'm not sure what to do. Maybe the fact that we removed the portrait is bad, but I don't know."

I didn't take damage, but thanks!

Penflower says "Well that was scary. I didn't know who I was for a second. Glad you guys stayed on your toes."

After healing, I agree with washroom.

Will save DC 19: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Penflower regains his focus and walks to flank the creature with Mac. Then he swings his sword and puts up his shield.

Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Attack someone: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 191d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

"What's going on? Who are you? Who am I? Why is Katy Perry swimming here? And who is Katy Perry?"

From what I read, GM chooses my targets randomly. Or I could just roll myself.

Yay we're back! Also, I lold at "You are not surprised when an amorphous blob of yammering mouths "

Pen says "Or maybe she knows where to look for a contract with, say, a devil?"

Penflower says "I think we can help her find peace. It certainly has to do with this love she feels, but if she is still here, then there is still something we can do. I feel bad for her, truly. Jealousy is a horrible feeling. If we promise her we'll kill Belcorra, maybe she'll find peace?"

While still pretending to scribe, Penflower looks over at Hagrym and mimes "Now!" with his mouth. A single drop of sweat rolls down his stern.

Penflower says "I guess we all have to scribe... for now." He takes a book and starts to pretend he is scribing on it.

Penflower understands they need a distraction. He wanders off to the books and tries to act the same way he did when he used to upset his teachers in Kyonin. He says "Excuse me, do you need this, or this one?" He keeps bothering her with questions so that her back is to Hagrym, and he can reach for the item.

Penflower comments to the others "Remember the other ghosts we found here? There was something in the room that was preventing them to move on to the river Styx. We just need to find what it is."

He tries aiding Hagrym on his check.

@GM: I'm sorry, but I stopped keeping track of XP for a long time now. I hope someone is keeping track.

Penflower is impressed with himself for activating the portals. He confidently leads the group forward. As the ghost appears, he opens his eyes wide. Instead of doing anything he looks at her carefully, trying to remember who she is.
