Pratavh's page

I've enjoyed the game, and had a blast with all of you. Thanks for running this Fang!

As for Curse, I'm in one right now, but it might be nice to start from the beginning, we'll see.

Pratavh had sat through the day with Lilly, then the night, and into the next morning. He didn't leave her as he waited to see when, or even if, she'd awaken. He had drifted off sometime before dawn but was quickly woken by Hirati who'd been laying on Alayna's chest all night and sensed the woman's first thoughts stirring. Prat! PRAT! She's waking up!

Pratavh stirred and sat up and leaned forward to see Lilly begin to stir. He smiled and said, "I am glad to see you have returned to us Lilly, we have all been worried about you. As for where we are we have returned to the village. You were unconcious after placing the lower on the alter, it worked by the way, at least partialy. Alwyn and I carried you to the elephant and rode back know with the refugees."

Hirati, having been quiet all night night couldn't stand it anymore, her form quivering with excitement she said, "LillylillylillylillyLILLY!" The little dragon wriggling for her "sister's" attention.

With no luck destroying the alter Pratavh gave up and moved to help Alwyn. He took his staff and s;id it into the main pouch of his haversack, the item sliding into the extra dimensional space. He moved over and said, "Grab her shoulders Alwyn, I will get her feet. Hirati, in case more lights are out keep creating those little light balls you enjoy so much so we can find our way back out. Those of you who want to leave come on, if anyone wishes to help bring down the mountain then do so. Our priority is to remove Lilly from this place now."

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Hirati Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
Pratavh Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

Pratavh looked at everyone and said, "Quickly, we need to get Lilly out of this place. The altar tried to take her but did not finish before the blossom shut it down. We have to get her out of here quickly. I would also suggest that we destroy the altar now while it is vulnerable." Once she was on her way Pratavh said, "Now, let us see if we can destroy this thing." He chanted and pointed, a ball of force flying from his outstretched hand into the alter with battering force.

Battering Blast: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 184d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 6, 3) = 14

Pratavh Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Hirati Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
Pratavh Int Check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

After considering the problem a moment Pratavh said, "I think I see a solution, the altar thrice on fear and pain, that flower counters such effects with a feeling of love. I think we need to sacrifice the flower to the altar, it's inherent properties might be what it takes to destroy this thing forever. If it does not work then we can try and take down those columns and collapse the mountain on it."

Not sure what knolwedge to know more about the flower, if I have it I can roll it. Waiting on further actions until i know if I have more info about the blossom.

Knowledge (arcana/history/planes) for info on the flower: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

Hirati continued to lay under Bvar's shaking hand as she continued to accept his stroking hand in an effort to calm him. Pratavh knelt and laid a hand on the man's shoulder and said, "Master Bvar, first you are no fool, no failure, without your aid we could never have done this, who helped keep assassin's off of us with his bow, who manned the ballista and helped pick off the undead in the pit, whose arrows killed attackers and helped drive off the weretiger?" Pratavh paused a moment and then said, "You did Master Bvar, you have been instrumental in this quest and don't you forget it."

His muscles protesting after all of this Pratavh sat beside Bvar and then continued to speak, "You think you have failed because of the dragon? Certainly not, that dragon was such a terrifying presence that even we were affected by it. You see, a dragon that age produces an aura of fear, much like the aura I create in battle to give glimpses of the future, I am sure you know what I refer to. If the aura gets a hold on your mind it causes paralyzing, completely understandable, fear. I honestly thought we were dead when it appeared, if it were not for the great level of discipline I have learned as a wizard I do not think I could have shaken it off either."

Pratavh Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Hirati Diplomacy (assist): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Knowledge (arcana) Did the dragon have a fear aura?: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
Also, I heard the sound, was that from Bvar?

Pratavh Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Hirati Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Did Bvar respond when I went to check on him?

Pratavh Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Hirati Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

Pratavh saw the great beast fall and realized that they'd done it, they'd ended the threat of the cult. Then he saw the blood boiling and realized that maybe it wasn't quite that easy. "That can not be good. What was it you said was needed to destroy the alter Lilly? Love and forgiveness? I believe we had better make sure this thing will never again be a threat to anyone. The question is how?" Hirati popped her head out and looked with sadness on the great dragon they had just killed, it may have been evil and deserved death, but it was still a dragon, still kin, albeit distant. The little dragon threw her head back and gave a great roar, or as close as she could, to honor the fallen beast and forgive him for trying to kill her friends, especially Prat.

Realizing that Bvar was still cowering Pratavh walked over to check on him while he thought of possible meanings of the method of destroying the alter. He reached out and offered Bvar his hand saying, "It is over now Bvar, we've won. Are you alright?" Hirati took off from Pratavh's pack and landed in Bvar's arms, nuzzling his hands with her head as she hoped he'd start giving her some attention, after all, everyone feels better when Hirati gives them the gift of stroking her head and frills.

I don't know that you'd want to be empowered by this thing's blood Lilly.

0_o Below Lilly and Shikyo we may have just killed us a dragon. I think at least 2/3 of those were hit and that's a s@@@ ton of damage.

Seeing the difficulty the beast was causing Pratavh realized that his revelations were the only thing making the dragon vulnerable to injury. As his unique skill was needed her continued to apply his powers to weaken the creature.

Repeat the actions of last round, aura and expose.

Sorry bout that, I somehow missed that I needed to post a combat action.

Pratavh moved to open some distance between himself and the dragon then focused once again on revealing it's weaknesses to his allies.

Maintain aura, moved, used reveal weakness again on the dragon.

Are you remembering the bonuses for bardic performance and my aura on your attack rolls? Also keep in mind the dragon is at -4 to ac due to reveal weakness, so it's conceivable that a couple of those actually hit him.

Not that it likely matters, but the web is now on fire and anyone inside of it takes 2d4 damage per round, guess where the dragon is. Not that I expect it to be harmed at all by that amount of fire but still. Hoping that scream wasn't Bvar.

With the dragon revealed Pratavh could finally see where to aim so he could target the great beast. With a thought he called again upon the void, the creature's weaknesses revealed. All the while his companions continued to get glimpses of the future.

Maintain aura, use reveal weakness on the dragon -2 to basically everything but damage for the round. Also, am I still invisible? We're in an ambiguous situation here as I haven't cast any spells on the dragon (reveal Weakness is a supernatural ability, not a spell), it is in the web but walked into it. While I'd love to stay invis, not that it likely matters cause, well, DRAGON, my belief is that no I am not. What is your ruling Mr. Fangdragon sir?

I don't have much i can do of use just now.

Naw, the prot from evil prevents domination by evil, assuming it's from an evil source of course.

With the voice being in the northern section of the room Pratavh moved to put the pillar between him and the general direction of the sound in the hopes that it would protect him from what was likely the supposed dragon's breath weapon, as he did he yelled out, "COVER, DRAGON BREATH INCOMING!" The aura he emitted sent snippets of what the holocaust to come and provided some small insights into how to avoid it.

Pratavh Will save + Prot from evil (I presume) and Aura of Prescience bonuses (+4 total) add another +2 if a charm or fear effect due to Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Pratavh continues to project the images of the immediate future to his allies and then bent the forces of the void to revealing the weaknesses of the faltering statue and quickly moves from the statues reach.

Free: Maintain Aure
Standard: Reveal Weakness, -4 ac and saves for the statue.
Move: Moved away from the statue already and adjusted teh aura's position to match.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Pratavh thought to Hirati, Pass this on to the others, he is somewhere in the north half of the room, likely flying, he also does not plan to come down and get involved yet as he is enjoying the show the statue is giving him too much. If we destroy the statue we'll draw him out. He is also quite insane. The little dragon nodded her understanding and passed the information on before ducking back down in the bag. The message passed on Pratavh focuses and begins emitting an aura of prescience to his companions giving them hints about what to do.

Std: Activate Aura of Prescience: 30 ft radius aura gives +2 insight bonus on ability checks, attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, and skill checks.

Move, moved north and left near the pillar, already moved myself.

Everyone but Alwyn is in range at this point.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Does it sound like he's still in the web or outside of it?

Pratavh found himself in a very bad place, the statue on top of him and ready to kill, his friends trapped in the web he placed, he did the only thing he could. While he chanted and gestured Pratavh was careful to constantly bob and weave so the statue couldn't pin him down and attack. When finished he turned invisible and quickly moved away from the statue.

Stnd: Cast Invis defensively, combat casting makes the check automatic.
Move: Already done, being invis should negate any AoO...I hope.

K then, I'll leave things as they stand. I just don't want us to screw ourselves because of something like this. Sounds like you have it in hand so I will trust you Mr. Fang Dragon Sir!

K, so we're ignoring the fact he's invisible right now then? I'm just trying to stay with what we know IC vs OC. Unless we can see invis we don't know where he is exactly. I'm not trying to be difficult about it, but if we're ignoring that little issue then I'll simply change what I did, with Fang's permission of course.

Waiting for Lilly and Shikyo to chime in before I make a decision.

I try not to take Shikyo ont account on Sep targeting since he goes invis and I can't see him. I could change my action I guess, but that spell seems my best move now since all of that becomes difficult terrain wether the save is made or not.

yeah, I placed it so people wouldn't be in it and you could get adjacent without entering. It seems people didn't move themselves when I had drawn the spell on there.

Pratavh chants and gestures his hands weaving in and out as webbing filled the area in the middle of the room. It had plenty of places to anchor itself, including the later, the statue, and the floating man. With that accomplished he moved out of the small room and in to the main one.

Standard: Cast Web (dc 19 reflex to avoid being grappled)
Move: Moved myself already.

Hopefully that will help. And there's no SR even better.

I believe the only thing this does for him is grant him a +1 attack bonus for being at a higher level.

Fair enough, wasn't sure what it was thus why I asked.

Does the communal prot from evil protect us from this effect? It normally would if it's mind affecting but this might not be affected.

Pratavh Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Hirati Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Pratavh Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Hirati Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Pratavh and Hirati both felt the pull of the alter, Pratavh knew about following order and tradition, he understood what it was to desire to submit to authority, he also knew that this was completely wrong and unacceptable. I will NOT fall prey to some dark goddess with a lust for lives! I will NOT BE BOUND![/ooc]

Hirati remembered the confines of the egg only vaguely, she remembered hatching and learning to live, she remembered her absolute desire to never submit to authority, and then she met Pratavh. He was a joy to harass, a pleasure to torment, and the first person she was ever willing to submit to, well, when it suited her. She also knew that this compulsion was not right, she wouldn't give in, and then she saw the eyes of the robed man and realized that her "Oh s~+$!" cries were even more urgent. She told her friends and playthings mentally, [i]Look at his eyes! I think he might be the DRAGON!

Pratavh gave the man a contemptuous look and said, "A nice try, too bad it will not work. I am glad to know that we will end the threat of your cult once and for all." Hirati, having done her good deed, slid down into his pack and hide.

[oo]With an eight minute duration are my spells from the last combat still in effect and if so how much time is left on them? I'm not sure just how much time has passed since then.[/ooc]

I'll get my prep done when I get home from work.

"We have not killed them all yet, but we are hunting for the final master of this place, do you have any idea where we might find them?"

Looking at his companions Pratavh says, "I would suggest we hide in there while whatever that is passes us by. I would like to find out who these people are and see if we can't get them out of here safely."

Pratavh gestured to the west as they began to head upstairs, "There is something over there, it sounds like someone banging against the wall. Could they have captives down here?"

Find I himself able to move again Pratavh managed to pick up his staff and pulled out a bottle from his pack which he quickly drank. As his wounds began to knit closed he pulled a second one out and drank it as well. With it down the last of his wounds heal up. He made his way to his companions and said, "Whatever that is it can not be good. I would suggest we find a more defensible spot or track the last leader down quickly."

pot cure mod: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 4) + 3 = 15
pot of cure light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Wow, actually glad I have a staff in hand now.
AoO with staff: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 1 = 121d6 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4

Yeah, next round gonna suck big time, I'm likely dead without serious help, and I can't call out for it. Only thing likely to save me is the miss chance. x_x

I agree, if it kills her go for it, just change my missile's target to the cultist closest to me and I'm good with it.

Whoops, sorry bout that. Deepti was the one next to Shikyo right? Should she still be on the map at this point?

Pratavh watched with disgust as Deepti's brain pan fell off and she keeled over dead. With one of the leaders of the cult now dead he decided to try and thin out the cultists a bit, starting with the ones on Alwyn. He chants and gestures then sends a volley of missiles into one of Alwyn's attackers with enough force to cause him to start wobbling and begin to fall. "Lilly, if you would be so good as to deal with this cultist near us it would be appreciated."

Magic Missile (toppling) DMG>Trip CMB: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 3) + 4 = 131d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Targetting the red cultist.

I'll happily take that.

Holy crap that was insane on those saving throws! I didn't expect that to happen.

Stepping away from the cultist who tried hard to beat him into submission Pratavh gave the fool an evil grin as he cast a spell. As the spell released the cultists and Zaffira felt themselves begin to slow as though through thick molasses.

Free: 5 foot step (already taken) I moved Hirati off to the side since she's on my person right now riding.
Standard: I cast slow, it will get all enemies on our level except for the dark blue bordered one DC 19 will negates.

That's right! Now I can say, "Mwahahahahahaha!!!!!"

On the map you have my AC listed as 21+1, what's that mean? If it means I have a 22 then he missed with the stunning fist.

With the dire nature of this fight, as evidenced by the flurry of chakrams, Pratavh decided it was prudent to cast one more defensive spell before things got serious, and of course to let their enemies cluster in a little bit closer. With a few gestures and words his form becomes blurry.

Standard: I cast blur on myself for a 20% miss chance.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30
Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
How high up is our air walking foe?

Realizing that this fight is going to be brutal Pratavh does the prudent thing, particularly since the enemies are far to spread out for his most potent spells to be worth the effort. He triggers the staff in his hand and an invisible shield forms to protect him.

I stay where I am for now and use my staff to cast shield on myself.

Also, I realized when re-calculating my ac for the shield spell I apparently never calculated something right in the first place. This has been corrected and the values in parentheses in my status line are now correct. I think what I forgot was to adjust for my lowered dex because of the age category change.

So who are cultists and who are the masters on the combat map? I thought there were a lot more cultists than what there appear to be with the masters. Not that I'm complaining mind you, just need to understand who's where so I can do something.

Remembered my question, didn't you mention we were supposed to level to 9 at some point during the course of the campaign?
