Reillana Myerishil's page

Hey all, sorry for dropping off the face of the world for a bit there. Moving day was Monday and we didn't get internet up until Tuesday and I'm honestly still pretty wiped out. Some IRL changes for me mean I'm struggling really hard to keep up with all the games I've committed to over the past few months/years and I just don't think I have enough bandwidth, or will again in the near future.

I've struggled with this decision but I think I'm going to have to bow out of this campaign. Thank you so very much for including me, and I hope you all go on to have a great time.

"Sometimes I forget you dumped Intelligence, Deric. Thank you for the reminder."

"He's human, just give it thirty years, Paëral." Reillanna gives rolls her eyes at Niculae's antics and ignores his departure. As the Lord Mayor's assistant leads them to their spots she whispers to the others, "No one can tell whether I'm smiling or not. That's half the fun of these masks."

Hey y'all I wound up completely checking out over the weekend. This who GameStop shenanigans has been driving work volumes through the roof all last week and it looks like this week too. Spouse and I closed on our first home Thursday and have been moving boxes after work. I haven't gotten Reillanna leveled up or shopping done but I promise to catch up asap

Okay, to make this work I think Reillana will take Arcane-Duelist5 to get +2 on arcane strike damage and +2IC for the party, we've got a lot of people who attack with weapons so that's a big boost for us.

Next three levels I think will be Lore Warden fighter because whips are feat intensive. Retrain my current feats of WF (whips), Weapon Finesse, and Slashing Grace.

Lvl6: Whip Mastery
Lvl7: Improved Whip Mastery, Improved Trip
Llv8: Agile Maneuvers
Lvl9+: back to Bard :)

It's not anything like a power build, but I hope it'll be fun.

Well free weapon Finesse, then Reillana could retrain to have WF (whip) and Slashing Grace right away, probably Combat Reflexes for her 5th level feat.

She's never going to be on Deric's level has a melee bruiser, but she should should be handy enough using reach from the second row.

So at 5th level Reillana would add +2 on her Inspire Courage, which is very helpful. But I think it would fit the theme I'm building here to have a 1-level dip into Swashbuckler in order to fight more effectively with the whip. She'd probably need to do some retraining so the feats make sense as well.

Does anyone here have a preference?

Reillanna gives Squint a concerned look and a reluctant nod. "Seems that way. Goddess grant that derro doesn't have a clone or siblings who care about them."

Leaning wearily against the wall, she chuckles at Barkot's ramblings. "Oh no, a long sleep sounds lovely. What a wretched city--though perhaps a good deal less wretched now that a kidnapping cell has been eliminated, hm?"

"I don't see Lockerbie, but I smell him. Stay alert, he may decide to take his chances with us after all."

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 Whatever it is, I don't think I notice it!

Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 Do I remain stunned? If not Reillana is heading up the stairs, keeping low and out of the smoke as much as possible.

Coughing and struggling to catch her breath even as her vision blurs with tears, Reillana feels her way along the wall and up the stairwell.

I'm with Squint, let's bounce.

nice, we've now all stunned ourselves and can't leave anyway

Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"Oh goddess, this is somehow worse than that time you jumped into the sewage water," Reillana tells the hacking, coughing Deric. Grabbing his arm and putting it under her shoulder, the elf tries to help the burly warrior up the stairs, hoping to keep ahead of the smoke. "You owe me, you know."

Drag Maneuver?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

@Deric Not sure what you're talking about? Stats are where they always are...

I'm ready to go. If Reillana heads up the stairs will y'all follow?

Aha! I just needed to say something again :)

I know we've brought this up previously, but I really do think it might be time to cut our losses and leave. We've spent an IRL month and 100+ posts trying to injure this derro with about an 85% miss rate, and even after healing it's still taken over 30dmg with no end in sight.

Reillana is completely tapped and cannot hit this derro on less than a 18 and even then has a 50% miss chance. Not sure how else she can contribute other than plinking with the crossbow or healing for 1d8+1 at a time.

Reillana, not really able to see what's happening but hearing the wind just fine, decides a little more breathing room is the thing for her.

"Get her, Gale!" she calls encouragingly to Squint's unseen new friend as she darts up the stairs.

Still feeling the sting of those bombs, Reillana heals herself again and waits to see if the smoke plan pans out.

CLW: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

"Gods above and below, the blighted wretch won't just die!" Reillana groans, limping down the tunnel and incanting a quick spell of healing after being hid by another bomb.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Just a heads-up but I'm having some trouble with my laptop's battery so I'm taking it to get a new one on Monday. The guy at the shop guestimated it could take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or two.

I should still be able to update the games but it'll be slower. I'll keep you all posted!

Happy new year to y'all as well!

Reillana sneers at the derro. "You little wretch! I'd track down your family if I didn't think you ate them all in utero! My kin are perfectly safe from the likes of you!"

Really with I had a want of Magic Missile or something right now. Instead I'll Inspire Courage again.

I have returned! I consumed way too many calories' worth of junk food and am now sporting a mohawk so all in all a successful holiday!

Hey all, I'm sure many of you are in a similar situation, but my posting rate is going to be very low from Thursday through Sunday. Should be back to normal starting on Monday though!

Whoops, DC15! Also that's the last Lvl2 spell so once that's gone if the derro is still alive we should just leave

"Same spot? Oh what the Hells, it can't have gone far," Reillana drops another burst of glitter in the spot where the derro had been, reasoning that the burst was large enough to catch it even if it moved a little.

I would hate glitter a whole lot less if it went away after thirty seconds.

"It may be wise to count an incomlete victory and escape with our rescued humans, no?" Reillana doesn't follow her own suggestion, however, nocking another bolt and firing at where she thinks the derro is.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 24 Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5 Miss %: 1d100 ⇒ 56

Hey! I think I got 'em!

Sorry for being the holdup twice in a row :(

"She's got to run out of bullsh*t eventually, right?!" Reillana loads another bolt, infusing it with arcane power and firing it where she hopes the enemy is.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 22 Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4 Miss %: 1d100 ⇒ 15

This derro's AC is brutal. I think it's in the neighborhood of 24?

Thanks for the bot, Bruno. Today was a quadruple witching day and also everyone and their cat wants to open solo 401ks before year's end.

Dropping her whip and wand at her feet, Reillana draws her hand crossbow and loads in a bolt.

Two move actions

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Hissing in pain as the acid burns her neck and shoulders, Reillana tries to get some distance between herself and her companions. "The derro has bombs, spread out!"

Putting her back to a corner, the elf turns and points at the derro as her intones a spell.

Move, then cast Glitterdust on the same area as the grease to avoid Squint/Ulyi. Will DC15

Whip and wand in hand, Reillana reluctantly plunges into the darkness, carefully feeling her way along the wall past her allies until she emerges out the other side.

"Did we get them all?" she asks Squint and Ulyi.

Cease Inspiring, Double Move.

"What in the Hells is that?" Reillana points at the winged miniature derro, voice disgusted. As the darkness washes over the group the elf makes an irritated sound. After a steadying breath, the elf begins to sing.

No Arcana unfortunately, but Inspire Courage!

I third the point about dungeon crawls in PBP, and in addition I mostly have the chance to look at my games over the course of my workday--but I can't access the maps. So without a strong picture in my head of where we are and where we're going I kind of default to a reactive play style, which I'm sorry about.

No worries about the pull Reillana is feeling, she'd have said something once she was sure people (Celia/party) were safe.

wand has 11 charges remaining, happy to fill up those hp bars for as long as it lasts

Reillana would prefer to do a quick sweep to kill or drive off the other derro before escorting--leaving them intact to either ambush us as we withdraw or to flee and start this up from elsewhere in the sewers doesn't sit well with her.

Reillana takes off her cloak and offers it to the closest of the victims. "You're safe now, the people who kidnapped you are gone--mostly. Can you walk? We need to get out you out of here."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Somebody pat Fenster down and get our stuff back, didn't we give him a big gem?

Reillana pats down the derro corpse and retrieves the keys. Straightening, the elf gives Celia a long, assessing look.

Sense Motive (Still charmed?): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

If she seems okay now...
Shrugging, Reillana tosses Celia the keys. "I'm glad you're alright, Celia. Barkot, do you mind if I hold onto the wand? Unless you would prefer it, Squint?"

"Perhaps best if you hold her down until the magic wears off, Deric. It might be a few days." Reillana leans in to examine the wand Barkot is holding up.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Advancing on the derro, Reillana maintains her battle-song and lashes her whip at the little menace's face.

Maintain Inspiration, move, attack w/Arcane Strike
1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 17 Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Feeling pretty sure that she'd have easily tripped someone if only she'd gotten the chance, Reillana hustles down the tunnel to keep up with her companions.

Bummer to waste a Nat 20, should have just moved up closer and attacked

I would have sworn I got a post in yesterday...

Reillana advances up the hallway, stopping right behind Deric and changing songs.

"So now I come, to you, with open arms // Nothing to hide, believe what I say // So here I am, with open arms // Hoping you'll see, what you're love means to me...open arms..." the masked bard croons.

Move, maintain Inspire Courage, Ready a trip attempt with the whip if an enemy comes within range

Readied CMB: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 Yay!

Same, honestly.

Reillana's statement is more deductive than that, and I think it's appropriate. We saw Deric get whammied and behave very weirdly for an extended period of time--so there's good in-character reasons to understand it. Celia calling a derro "Mistress" and being super deferential is sufficiently weird and out of character that the parallels seemed pretty straightforward. And a bard would know about enchantment magic in general :p

Reillana, who had been quietly listening and assessing, speaks up quietly. "I believe Cee and Fenster are both victims here--the derro have them charmed, I think, something similar to how Deric was tricked by that imp. Try not to kill either of them, if you can."

Then she starts up another battle-hymn. Inspire Courage

"Hmm, it seems to feed on heat, and rather vigorously at that!" Reillana observes and she brandishes her wand.

Do we want to expend the charges for the nonlethal damage? Also do any of us have Knowledge (Nature) to see what we can do about this frigid mold?

"Paeral, keep making noise!" Reillana asks as she stumbles in the dark, wand outstretched.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Sorry, I was a poll worker and had a 14hr day yesterday. Reillana would bringing to everburning torch closer and ready a Cure Light Wounds if Paeral comes to her.
