Rivani 7's page

Thanks, John. Has a blast! Well we will see about the crawls ;)

Oh, Jyri, by rule you'll get it when you character hits seven... The level of the pregen... not the subtler.

Since the thing appears to be a caster, Rivani will ready...

So the whole room is full of tentacles, then. Sigh.

Annoyes at the thing at once was a strong woman, she uses her pool to be able to affect undead.
Casts mind thrust III
psychic damage: 7d8 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 6, 1, 7, 2) = 21

"Foul beast! Go back to the grave where you belong!"

kn: religion: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

FYI - I just got the hint, even before reading the spoiler. The wine/vinegar... a certain type of female vampire uses it to shrink her entrails, right?
"Ah... That's what she is... that explains everything. I guess we won't have to worry about finding a crypt?" She thinks about it a moment...

"Madam, you are a penanggalen. I am sorry to hear that you have taken this path, and have done such evil. I am sure that at some moment in time, you thought it necessary. However, I don't know that the Way of the Kirin is as dead as you thought... good ideas are truly hard to kill."

And then to her friends, "Do not let her touch you... her entrails are caustic!"

Rivani looks at the situation, and is still concerned that her traveling companion is at risk. So, she's let fly another barrage of magic missiles, this time at Larry. She'll go ahead and use her runestone this time... just 'cause.
magic missiles vs Larry: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 2) + 4 = 11 (OUCH! Lorted it!)

you mean I have to decide who to put this chronicle on? AUGH!

Player: Jack Brown
Character: Na Na Na Nineteen (GM/pregen credit baby)
PFS#: 74294-19
Chronicle #: 3
Starting PP/Fame: 0/4
Starting XP: 2
Starting Gold: 150+430+500= 1080 (reduce gold for him to 500gp, as this is being assigned to a level 1 character)

No day jobs, so that's easy. Currently grand lodge.

Thank you!

Figuring that taking down on target is her best bet, Rivani lets loose with another flurry of magical darts.
magic missiles: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 2) + 4 = 16
"Mavaro! Hang in there, we'll save you!" She wishes she could do more against the undead, as well... but chooses not to express her concerns. She basks in the knowledge that she can do at least a little more than that nasty little halfling.

She then unshoulders her crossbow, wondering if it would soon be time to resort to more mundane methods. Again, she wishes her training were better on this aspect of combat, but she knows that she can push her own body to be better than it should be at physical combat... at least for a moment.

what level is the wand? If level 5, he default, you can leave Rivani out.

Wanting to save her psychic energy versus the undead for the vampire they are expecting, Rivani instead casts Magic Missile. If chuck still stands, she fires at him. Otherwise she moves to the red (x) and fires at Larry.

Magic Missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 4) + 4 = 17

@ ravini Thought undead traits means no mind-affecting. Do you have something that affect things w/o minds? At work and limited as to what I can look up. Anyone feel free to chime in on the discussion thread. Thanks

You are probably right, so she would need to use 2 points of phrenic pool for this.

Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms).

Now, Mind Thrust III is, oddly enough, a divination spell, not any of the mind-affecting effects listed, though it is a mind-affecting effect.

Will of the Dead allows the psychic to affect undead. So... mind if I retcon that? Or I can just add the Will of the Dead and use two pool.

This is a HORRID scenario for a psychic. :D

So, they are not mindless undead. Good.
"Skeletal champions. Must be what she's made out of some of her victims. At least they are not mindless."
She glares at Chuck as she releases a Mind Thrust III at him
psychic damage Will DC18 half: 7d8 ⇒ (7, 7, 3, 6, 7, 5, 5) = 40

"Use bludgeoning weapons if you have them, and don't use cold!"

religion: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

Rivanj waits until she knows what they are.

"Well, Yoon. If I were a vampire, I'd likely put my coffin in the basement. Far, far away from the sunlight, and very near to precious soil. If that is where it is, and we slay her, I should think we'd want to hurry down there, and destroy the coffin."

Mavaro concentrates at the room in front of him. As he searches for those that are dead that once lived, but are living now and the Pathfinders are trying to make dead once again, he can feel the Overwhelming presence of undead in the northeast, and southeast rooms marked on the map as I get cardinal direction wrong

Did someone just hear Ophiuchus?

Rivani will cast shield upon herself, using her runestone of power.

Does that cost you anything, Erasmus? If not, just finish it off

Ok, so this is a haunt. If it has a 1 day reset, we could just move on, right?

Knowing now that there isn't much she can do against a haunt, Rivani backs off, and readies to magic missile something that she doesn't recognize.

GM - should a cover be removed from the room?

kn:religion: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
will wait until I know more

kn:religion (re: vampires): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

"Well, at the minimum, I know vampires are not mindless, so my powers should work against them. I might consider using id insinuation to confuse her... if I do, Honaire should attack her immediate, to draw her attention. She'll stay confused as long as I concentrate. Or, I just mind blast her. We should put her out of her misery."

I'd take the wand of magic missile, but not right now. Rivani fires 4 missiles when she attacks normally, so she'll use those first.

"So, this Dagadal fellow we just killed before he killed us, thought his mistress was Minasako. This is the name of the 'waitress'. We already knew the name, but this confirms what we believed. I did not get the chance to find out if she still exists... I am expecting that she does, but not in the form that she once was in. With those bodies that were drained of blood, I would expect that she was some sort of vampire at this time, which seems to fit someone that did the horrid things she felt forced to do back ninety years ago. Poor woman."

Rivani cannot use either wand, but probably wouldn't mind upgrading her ring of protection to +2. Maybe Estra should take the invis potion, since she probably is best as a buffer?

Rivani takes some time, uses her Mnemonic Cache to memorize up to 40 pages of the documents... just to make sure we have a "back up" copy (and because she can). Of course, she'll "SOP" the area, especially the documents.

Rivani I will have someone use her wand of CLW until she is healed up, which isn't likely.
7 charges: 7d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 4, 7, 2, 3, 6, 3) + 7 = 39

She is still down 10 hp. I had her at 16+11+9+13=49 damage

did she pick up on any surface thoughts before he went down? She should with the failed save - that's why I asked who his mistress was, so that it would be on his mind.

"Oh, I am not feeling so well..."

Even though she is about ready to collapse, Rivani thinks that she hasn't the time to try and heal herself.

"Who is your mistress, shadow creature?"
Mind Thrust III Will DC18: 7d8 ⇒ (7, 6, 2, 6, 3, 5, 5) = 34 with mindtouch again.

"Oh, I think you are mistaken, little one. Who is your mistress?"

She casts Mind Thrust III, using a point of her phrenic pool to mindtouch (allows her to read surface thoughts, Will DC18, for half, and no detect thoughts)
damage: 7d8 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 5, 7, 1, 7) = 32

Now that I know what's going on, she'll come out of delay. I hope someone has glitterdust, or something like it, or this is gonna be rough
Rivani decides that she needs to be alive when this assailant becomes visible, so she draws out her wand of resist energy and uses it to get electrical resistance 10.

Move and standard, 5' step to her spot.

"Can someone make our assailant visible? One of you has to have a way to neutralize invisibility, or at least see though our ambusher's veil? Yoon? Meligaster? Estra?"

FYI - GM - it would be fine for you to roll all of the saves -- would save a lot of time!
reflex save DC22: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 (wow! She made it!
spellcraft: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

Confused - who through the chain lightning (assuming that was the spell)? Is that the figure on the map?

is that a no, then?

The Vudrani woman takes a look in the pool. She gauges the size of the chest/box, trying to figure out if it is light enough to lift with her Mage hand. Then , she goes ahead and casts the spell and tries to lift it out, assuming it weighs less than five pounds.

[dice=Erasmus Perception]1d20+13

[dice=Estra Perception]1d20+4
[dice=Rivani Perception]1d20+12

Open the Perception spoiler

which spoiler?

FYI - Rivani hasn't pulled the wand out yet, but will do so on her turn.

"Positive energy... how quaint. My mind-magic doesn't do that sort of thing. I believe I had a wand of cure light wounds somewhere, but I'd need someone else to activate it."

in religion: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
"So, hide from undead. Cannot help with that. Do we just use healing on it instead?"

"This haunt has no specific weaknesses. I believe that Erasmus has stated is true, that it will fade as soon as whatever evil is tainting this place has been destroyed... unless we can summon a trumpet archon?"

"Well, at least we know..."

kn:Religion: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

Once she has a chance, of course. Hoping to hit high enough to find a weakness, or confirm what Erasmus said.

EDIT: BAM!!!

Cool.

I'll go ahead and make the roll when I get an action. :D

Dealing positive energy damage is not really our forte, now is it?

Question: since haunts are in many ways related to undead, is it possible for Rivani (or others) to cause damage using abilities that allow them to use their spells/abilities against undead?

I am specifically referring to Rivanis "Will of the Dead", but could also be for others. I am kind of guessing not.

Also, most haunts only trigger once, so once they've 'gone off' we should be safe for a while... right?

Back this with Rivani's take-10 on Haunts (kn: religion) of a 25. If she needs more, I can burn a spell to make sure. :D

"Erasmus, maybe you should ask what is holding him here, not why he chooses. I would assume that he doesn't choose to be here! Maybe then, we can release him by breaking the anchor?"

Rivani sits back, watching Mavaro work on this. She wonders how long this might take, but realizes she was never trained to do anything with locked doors.

Leave me out. Rivani is a pure caster.

'Mage armor is up, right? Yes. Should I be flying now? Probably not, that can wait. Undead... yes, I can still affect undead for the day. Should I use my Mind Thrust, or perhaps just magic missiles. I wonder if the dead can be confused?'

"I believe that I am ready, Mavaro."

Rivani looks a little flustered by Meligaster's description of her powers, but still, she looks to see if there is anything interesting about the door, or if she detects anything beyond.

Rivani does what she does.... detecting psychic significance and magic. She think she'll need to refresh her spells, soon, though.

Each round, you can turn to detect undead in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.

So, yes, will penetrate, with above restrictions!

Rivani merely nods to Mavaro.

Rivani glances away, face turning white, then perhaps a little green. "So... much... skin... filling tub... why... why?"

Rivani does what will soon be referred as her standard operating procedure, or SOP. She cast detect psychic significance and then detect magic, moving into the room.

"Looks like we've found the baths, friends."

"Honestly, Mavaro, one needn't be so crude. One has to admit, however, that this is an interesting tale, and an interesting dilemma. In fact, one might argue that your Galtan friend learned this very lesson... or a similar one."

She considers trying to read the aura on the chair, to see what alignment it might be, but decides that they should continue moving. She moves over to door #2, looking at it, trying to decide what to do. "Perhaps we should keep moving? I believe there is much to be learned here."

"Well, as we know, she was under duress, so perhaps in the long, long ago, she felt trapped, and did some heinous things to try and survive. What we might be seeing now is the perversion of her acts, and the cost of doing evil, even if in the name of good. Hmm... perhaps it is true that evil only begets evil... that doing evil to protect good is still evil. Interesting philosophical question..."

ok, so ten minutes left on those spells

appraise: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 wisdom: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

"Interesting.... The waitress from the bar owns this chair, and she is very happy. Or was. This seems a little... odd... Oh, and did you all recall that the victims of the house,my hose few that were found, were also drained of blood?" she adds, looking back at the corpse of the man they found

"I wonder if that waitress woman knows anything..."

Oh, by the way, I looked back, and I had cast message and comprehend languages back at the bar.... each would last 70 minutes... Is anything left on the,?

Again, Rivani will cast Detect Psychic Significance in the room, followed by detect magic (once they enter the room)

"Who was lying, I wonder? And to whom?"

"Wait... shouldn't we cut him down? After all, is would be dreadful to leave him hanging here. Who would do such a thing?" She then has a vision of a wayang running out of a room in terror, where a halfling man missing all of the fingers of his left hand hangs, swaying.

"Estra, would you have your husband cut him down, please? It only seems right. We can arrange a proper funeral later."

She then uses detect magic, checking out the corpse, then the rest of the room.

"Honaire, would you kindly remove the poor man? This place seems to be rather... unholy... as it were. I shudder to think of what caused this poor man to hang himself. But, I am tasked to learn, so learn I shall."

Rivani casts detect psychic significance followed by detect magic if that fails to uncover anything.
