I thank you too for the great game. I was hoping we'd make it, but it was not to be. We certainly went a lot further than most PBP games (and further than my RL AoW game ever got), so kudos on that. Rowena shall retire into the ether of the Paizo server, so when it goes down in the future, you'll know it was just Rowena practicing her ki throw...
She was at -9, so those rebuke deaths will give her an extra 17.
Rowena barely hits the ground unconscious before Quintus' energy brings her around. She frantically brushes off any worms or remains of worms. Nodding thanks, she stands and picks up her weapon. "That...was gross!" If she hasn't already, she gets a Mage armour from Rauno.
Rowena reaches for the thing in front of her, reluctant to do so.
Then she reaches for the other beetle.
For her hasted attack, she will smack the one she hurt most, or reattempt a trip if one of the others failed.
Rowena stands next to the wall. "I'll see what's inside," she says, and turns to the wall. With a flick of one wrist, a long pole appears in her hand. Gripping it to either side, she bends her knees and vaults upwards.
She coils again, and this time clears the wall with 3 feet to spare, and lightly land on top.
She calls down a description.
As Rauno places the spell on Rowena, her hand quickly comes up to slap what she had first thought was another insect bite. Depending on Rauno's reflexes, his hand probably stings a bit. Of course, Rowena is deeply apologetic and can't look Rauno in the eye for quite some time. As the vision fades, Rowena looks grim. "That was not your run-of-the-mill haunting. Something powerful and nasty is waiting for us here."
It's great to be back! A belated Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans! And to the Canadian contingent of our group, well, a belated happy Monday. :) And a Happy Treason Day to you, too. Ungrateful colonials...
Rowena slaps her neck seconds after materializing. "It's like breathing through a wet rag, filled with bugs," she says, grimacing at the bloody remains of the insect on her hand.
Well, Rowena will have to stifle her new-found attraction to Kelkzar but I guess he can come back. He'll be in the proberbial doghouse for sure, though.
I'm still here. I decided not to quit games unless they die, and I don't start any new ones. I've gone from 16 games to 5, and they are all long-termers.
Sorry to see you go, but I understand, having begun the move away from PBP myself. I'll guess we'll just have to imagine how the relationship between Trevor and Rowena could have gone. Perhaps Trevor will retire to become a stay-at-home house husband.
Kelkzar, the 40,000 has to be in new items, not upgrades.
So Rowena would like the bat cloak, meaning I reduce her treasure share by 13,000?
I had considered it and will probably get Rauno to do that at some point, but there weren't really any other potions of interest (jump doesn't stack with the balance rod), so I'll go with them for now.
The 250 are for all five 1st level CL 1 potions.
Assuming we do vote to trade the rod, I'm just putting down the items Rowena would pick, so I don't forget.
40,000 in gear:
glove of storing (10,000), rod of balance (15,000), quick-runner's shirt (1,000), armbands of the brawler (500), monk's robe (13,000), 5 potions of enlarge person (250), and 5 potions of feather step (250). With this gear and a haste spell, Rowena can now use a move and swift action to take 10 to leap 44 feet straight up in the air. Or a 176 foot long jump. How do you rule a long jump in combat when the distance she can cover is more than twice a normal movement rate? Oh, and she'll put her Dex skill bonus into Disable Device. With some MW tools, she now auto-makes DC 20 checks. Next level, I'll really boost that skill.
She might also be interested in his Lay on Hands ability...
If Trevor becomes chaotic evil, Rowena will definitely be no longer interested.
Yes to rod, and yes to drinking iron cup of Ailment: -3 hp lost.
I don't understand...do we get to choose our Folly?
Did we sell those magic items yet or do we still have them? It might be nice to get the Lightning and Aqua swords turned into useful items, as well as the +3 long spear. I can definitely find cool items to pick up for 40,000!
So we couldn't also trade in a +1 weapon and apply that value to a +3 weapon, for example?
Is he willing to trade magic items for market value?
Rowena offers a comforting hand on his arm as he struggles with his feelings. She doesn't remove it right away when he eventually gets himself together.
Rowena is, as always, polite and respectful, and fairly silent as she takes in the new information. She had been worried that a trip to the pit of Hell was in their future. A detour to the Mwangi Expanse seems less daunting. She does ask, however, in a coldly tense voice, "Do you have any knowledge of the whereabouts of Raknian?"
Devil 4 should be visible, since it would appear after the AoO and not have time yet to recast the spell.
Rowena moves to F1, allowing devil 4 an AoO if it wants one. Once there, she tries to land one telling blow.
Yes, she's moving from devil wrestling to devil rustling. Don't judge me!
Rowena applies more pressure on the bone devil, pinning it to the ground.
As a move action, she quickly whips her rope of climbing out of her haversack.
Rauno already activated foresight in round 1.
Rowena dashes over to where Trevor connected and attempts a trip attack.
Rowena probably doesn't get any of the AoOs, since it's still invisible, but Trevor should get one for Greater Trip.
"We need to get airborne!" Rowena shouts, and she delays.
Seeing Trevor dispatch the barbed devil, Rowena dashes forward and hits Rauno with the heal effect of the rod fragment.
Rowena moves around the rock and stands just north of the southeast barbed devil. Gingerly, she reaches out to find someplace safe to grab the creature.
The devil goes up and over. Rowena deposits it in the square northwest of her new position.
Seeing the altitude of their foes, Rowena calls out, "Quintus, can you give us all a lift?" and delays until after him.
Not sickened
Rowena also helps the training. She doesn't spend much time with teaching her complicated martial moves; instead, she focuses on teaching the volunteers how to avoid getting hit.
Rowena pats his shoulder comfortingly--and perhaps leaves her hand there slightly longer than necessary--and says, "This town needs a lot of things, but we can only do what we can, we can only do our part."
Rauno was currently crafting Ro's undead bane AoMF. The cloak of the bat is very pricey, so unless those swords and the ring are also pricey, she won't likely take any other share of treasure.
"The dragon has already been defeated. Rest yourself in peace," Rowena says comfortingly.
"Allustan first. We might need the extra arcane firepower if Flycatcher decides to try to take the seal for itself. We should put all our non-combat valuables into an extra-dimensional space so he can't pick our pockets again.
They'll have to go back for the head. Rowena can use gaseous form to head down, retrieve the head, and gaseous back up.
Rowena takes out her rope of climbing, handing it to Kelkzar and Trevor. "Make me fly," she whispers to the paladin with a coy wink. Then, holding the rope, she will drop down, say the words over the seal, remove it and shout up, "Now!"
Rowena points to her bloodied leg.
What was that thing's CR? I tried to find stats for it after we killed it, but no luck.
"Well, I doubt they'd include his nose-picking in the fresco," Rowena says grimly as she wipes soot and demon ash off her hands and clothes. "How do we get the seal up here?"
Rowena leans hard on the demon as the barely dodges an energy ray. She gets one of its wings bent under one of its legs, and the two of them hit the ground as Rowena pins the demon!!
