Rhosalth “Rose” Shadowblade's page

Rose watches as the tree transforms into a staff and is impressed.
She listens to Kitarlo and the required Ritual.

As she considers the Ritual, she turns to face Valais.
"With all of the pain that you've suffered physically, I know you're tough. I'm sure it'll be extremely difficult whichever path you chose. But we have assisted Kitarlo and I take him at his word that he'll assist you if we ask.
I would suggest that you take him up on his offer, it will take time I'm sure, but I can not guarantee that I myself will be here to assist you. So take his help and free yourself of this curse."

Can we assist on these checks or must we make the checks solo?
Also I'd suggest we also all get Guidance cast for each check, I assume we have the time while we make them.

Rose walks to the body on the floor and Lays hands on him.
LoH: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (3) = 4

"Screech, come over here. If this guy gets out of line, be ready to attack...

Rose will pull her Cure Light wand if more healing is needed and use a charge at a time until he wakes up.

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

As a move action, Rose reaches down and lays hands on Edmund, LoH: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (2) = 3 healing and stabilizes.
She then nocks an arrow and lets fly again at their target, the demon thingy near the ceiling.
Comp Bow: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
"I can't hit the broadside of a barn, from the inside with the door closed.... I'd find a knothole that'd been knocked out and my arrow would go through without touching the sides of it."

Valais, you must stop this attack on your friends, that Demon over there is the cause of your pain"

Screech attacks again....

Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Tail: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Haste Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

As to the Cat, if it's int stat is like a normal animals, it'd follow the last command. in my opinion. If it is smarter and able to use skills to revive it's master, i'd say it would do that.
Example, Screech has UMD and chance to revive Rose.

With a verbal command, "Flank Valais" Screech circles around and moves right next to her. Then on his own, "You no want to do this, think for self."he says to her in common, trying to talk her out of attacking them and resisting the demon's influence.

Rose shifts a further 5' and declares the demon up near the ceiling as the target of her Smite Evil. Then unleashes a flight of arrows at it.

Comp Bow 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31Damage: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Comp Bow 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Comp Bow Haste: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Know Planes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Sense Motive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

"I got no clue what that is, but Valais has a internal conflict and is some how not under her own control, but that shouldn't be a surprise in this place by now." The first part was directed to her target as she shot at it.....

Seeing as Rose is no longer trying to move towards the tree, Screech releases her and then moves away from everyone else, for now after the haste hits (if he gets it)
Rose, pulls her bow, takes a 5' step kitty-corner and then shoots at the thing up near the ceiling....

Comp Bow: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"I'll go melee if it gets near the floor...."

Screech, jumps on top of Rose while she is down, wrapping his tail around her legs and his wings around her torso, locking her arms to her body.
Then as a surprise to everyone else, "I'll hold Rhosalth as best as I can, stop the others." This is said in common and out loud.

I can't stop myself from doing as asked, it must be more of these manipulations that we've encountered in this foul place. I don't think it's a good idea to hand over the staff....Screech, stop me!"
Rose walks towards the circle, but Screech charges Rose's back and tried to bring her to the ground....

Screech Trip: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Screech bounces off the wall, just as Rose walked past the circle....

Rose reaches out and lays hands on Enora, LoH: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6 Hit Points restored to her. "We'll take care of the rest when we're done, as long as we survive. By the way, I've determined that I really loath this place. Lets get this over with."

Rose looks through the now open door looking for a target, because after what they've faced, there has to be more tricks left to be sprung....

It could be worse, it could do bleed damage as well, maybe add a disease or poison to it.

"Didn't see any traps, I have an extra Lead Blades I can cast, but it'll only last a couple minutes."
Rose casts Lead Blades on herself as she says the previous.
She'll cast on Tiki unless someone else speaks up asking for it.
"Lets open it, times a wasting."

While Edmund looks through the door, Rose checks the door for traps.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

"It'll cost me, but I can retrieve that shard most likely. If nothing else, I'm sure the Society will pay us for it."
Rose pulls out a potion of flying and quaffs it. As it takes effect, she flies up and checks it quickly for traps before grabbing it.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Obviously there is none, so she reaches out and takes the shard.

"Anyone able to give me a little Guidance? If you can it looks like I should be able to get it without a problem."

With a guidance spell, take ten and get the wand, if no spell is forth coming, Rose will make a Disable Device later today to try and get the wand

After using the Wayfinder to cast Detect Magic, Rose attempts to discern what the Crystal Shard is.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
"I'm still learning magic, so that purple glowy thingy is beyond my skill, maybe Enora can figure it out.
As to getting that wand out, it'll take me a bit, because I'd like to take my time as long as everyone is agreeable with that."

Disable Device taking 20 if Rose can = a 34

Once Rose gets the wand, she takes an extra minute to see if there is anything she can pick up from it with her abilities. Then she'll go take a look at purple glowy thing and see if she can touch it first, to identify it and it's purpose, unless someone else id's while she working on the wand. Before she touches it, "Here's to hoping I still have fingers in a minute...."

As the group turns the final corner and sees the Statue, "Well, we're back where we started it seems. This door here looks a lot less imposing than that bigger one, how about we check this one first?"

Rose, stops and checks over the small door, looking to see if it's trapped or not.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 (plus a automatic chance to spot at same bonus if passing within 10')

Rose, with the item in her hand, trying to figure out what it is, slowly follows Enora, She calls Screech to Heel as she goes.

Auto identify the item with Occultist ability

Rose gathers up the item that was in the room and takes the time to determine what it is, after she recovers from seeing her Lord in that nightmare.....

As the visions change from what she saw before she was awakened, it's a shock to her mind. What Rose now saw was her worst nightmare, Screech was being drawn and quartered. That was bad enough, but her Lord himself, Apsu was crumbling into Dust, leaving Rose in tears and horrified...

save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22(+2 vs Mind Effecting)

If Rose snaps out of it, she'll take the gem and study it. She'll relay any information she gets as well as the description of what the gem does, if anything....

In her mind, Rose remembers squatting down and hugging the hatchling Drake and then the Drake tried to bite her ear off.

Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12(+2 vs Mind Effecting)
(re-roll if you'll allow my Folio)
Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26(+2 vs Mind Effecting)

Rose remembers the first day she met Screech, then she smiles , really smiles for the first time that you've seen.... The memory must be good.....

Rose walks into the room to get a better look around.
"Can I take a look at that stone you snatched? I want to see if I can gather any info about the Fellow we are after from it. You can have it back, unless we need it to destroy him."
Linguistics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Rose takes a closer look at the writing on the walls.
Preemptive Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 (+2 if mind effecting)

Rose moves to the front, and looks into the room.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20(+2 for stone work)

Using her Wayfinder to cast detect magic, Rose looks over those areas neither of the better casters have figured out...

know Arcana DC 21: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
know Arcana DC 23: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"Nope, i get nothing clear enough to figure out what kind of magic on those that were undetermined.

So, are we ready to proceed? Are we going to readjust our order in the hallways?"

Screech Will: 20 + 4 = 24
Rose didn't go into the blade barrier until after it was dispelled. So, still need a save for that?

clw on Screech: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
clw on Screech: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
clw on Screech: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
clw on Screech: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
clw on Screech: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
clw on Screech: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
clw on Screech: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Screech is now at Full Hit Points

"Who else needs Healing? And do you have a wand? I can't actually cast the spell, just use wands."

Rose maneuvers up towards the door and brings Screech with her for now, so she can heal him up and make room for everyone out of the trapped hallway.

I thought I remembered something about magical traps with Occultist class, but can't find it now.

Save for Screech....
Reflex save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Rose will turn and Lay on Hands on Screech. Then while the trap is disabled by magic,she will try to disable it permanently with her skill.

Lay on Hands: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (5) = 11
Screech ends up at 5 hit points after the LoH.
Disable Device: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13+2 vs mind effecting (aura 10'raidus +4 vd fear effects)

Rose mentions, "Just so you know, I am fairly good at opening stuff, and not with my sword. So if you can find a trap, I can probably disable it."

"Well, there's something magic down the hallway, near the end of it. If I could hold it, I could tell you what it is, but from here, it's beyond my abilities to say what it is.
Rose will point out the area she detected it to Enora so maybe she'll be able to determine what is causing this...

Rose looks to the others, "As we haven't been assigned together before, we don't know how each other works very well.
For myself, I prefer to be able to charge on a mount, but I can fight up close and am ok at range.
Screech can glide some and since he's an Aether Drake, he's magical.
I'm also reminding you, if you want to heal me with my wands if something happens, be sure to use the one with the black ribbon, I don't take well to standard healing.
So, how do we want to proceed down here?"
Rose turns and talks directly to Screech, "I want you to stay with Enora and do as she says. If I get into trouble, I'll call for you."

Rose doesn't speak or read whatever language the script is in. So she tries to decipher it with her natural linguistic ability.

linguistics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Rose prays over Tiki.

Rose takes a 5' step away from the "mimic" as she does so, she pulls her bow and with her darkvision she can still see it.
"Apsu, I need to call upon your blessings to Smite this foul creature!" She sets her Smite Evil on the Mimic and lets loose an arrow at it.

Bow: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 +10 more if evil outsider sub-type

In common, "Screech, stay back. I'll have something for you to do in a moment"
Screech stays back and waits for directions....

Screech is 7HD (love Boon Companion)

Will Save: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Dazed, Weakened (unless Disease then Immune (Paladin Divine Health))
Screech Will Save: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Dazed, Weakened

Rose would hold her breath, but she just steps back a little and brings Screech with her. She stands ready to Lay on Hands if someone hits the floor unconscious or near death.... (Readied Action)

"Edmund, every God has warriors that are so dedicated to them that they bless them with some of their divine power. Even those who are Evil do that, not just those aligned to the Light. Myself, even though I am what people call a Paladin, my God, Apsu grants be access to some of his power, but it is not Divine in nature. Dragons are Magic, I mean actually MAGIC. So the blessing of power that Apsu grants me is different than most Paladins. You see, my magic is Arcane in nature, so I don't have much access to restorative magic I've seen other Paladins use. That's a warning to everyone that my healing abilities are very limited.
As an extra note though, Screech has about a 50/50/90 chance of making a wand work, he also knows which of my wands to use on me and which to use on pretty much anyone else. So everyone else knows, the one with the yellow ribbon is for most everyone and the one with the black ribbon is for use on me."
From Screech, comes a long series of what might be words, but not in common. Rose Glares at Screech for a moment.

Rose, moves towards the fallen flier but shoots up near the wall. (the guy outside is a bad guy, right?(if not, readies to shoot at one when appears))
She also tells Screech, "Go stand on the fallen guy and tell me if he's still alive, will ya?" Screech double moves to get there. Screech will respond in Draconic if he's dead dead or still bleeding out dead.

Comp Bow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 Screech: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
"Screech Guard Enora and do as she says" Rose gives the command to Screech again. Screech moves to stand between her and the closest enemy.

Rose shoots the winged guy again, who is no longer hiding behind dinosaur.
Comp Bow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Comp Bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Unless it lands, this is about the best I can do."

Screech is Roses Drake Companion, only problem, the Avatars aren't working for me on Paizo.

Rose is Diplomacy +13, Perception +8 (10 underground), Disable Device +14, Know Nobility is +6, but min of 14(so auto aid), linguistics +7 and UMD +8(so I can heal myself with my inflict wand about 50% of the time)

The rest are "mount/companion" based. Handle Animal and Ride.
Then scattered skill check stuff with a 50/50/90 chance of getting to a 10

They are listed on my sheet as well.

Rose leaves her shield on her back as she starts moving forward, hoping to catch the spell Enora is casting. "Screech, Stay with Enora, do as she says until I call for you."
(Know:Religion Auto pass)
If the haste went off and she received it, she'll draw her bow after a 5' step and let fly a few times, at the person wearing the Erastil tabbard.
Bow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 Damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Bow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 Damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Bow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 Damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Yay... the Holy Avenger Dagger cost is now down to 100k.....
Played Part C this weekend.

Was a really good Convention, although a group of 3 Paladins and a hunter doesn't provide very many skills for a multi-table event.

Played my Kitsune who adventures as a "FOX" was a total riot.... Ran into a room, sprang all 6 monsters in there and actually took almost 50% damage....After about 3 rounds the rest of the party decided they'd better come in. Leveled to 6th and the next time I'd tell just tell them to move on and that I can take care of it. (@5th d3+6, @6th d3+ 13 without my new gear)

Looking at Init order when do you want Roses Post?

OOC: Sorry, missed it entirely... been going crazy

Rose finally gets her thoughts collected and pays attention, after Screech nips her ankles enough times.
"I'm sorry if I've been caught up in my own world, I'll try not to let it take over again.
Rose smiles as the challenge is yelled out.In reply she yells out, "The Lady Rhosalith Shadowblade of House Arpador of Taldor, who be you?"

I've got a Convention this weekend so, not able to post until probably Monday.
I'll be playing my Puppy and running 3 games so...

By puppy I mean my Kitsune in fox form. almost 6th level and then I'll be able to do 1d3+11 damage +3d6 backstab. Should be fun then, because right now, it's wimpy....
See everyone next week.

Rose can melee, melee from rank 2 or ranged. But she specializes in mounted charging, that won't happen until 9th level with Screech.
She does own a Warhorse (equipment not companion) But was ruled by local DM, can't bring both, so Screech is it.
