Saphera Moonglade's page

Thank you phaeton_nz for taking the time to run the game. It has been a lot of fun.

Saphera's Day Job is Heal +8

Day Job (Heal): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 (Sucess for half).

Even with being as mentally resilient as she was, Saphera was caught off guard by the priest's raw power. A small bead of blood tricked out of her noise and then down her face as she pressed forward, in an attempt to get to the evil little man before he could do any further harm.

Standard & Move= Double move. (-7 HP from the channel).

Seeing the escalation taking place with Quint, Saphera quickly moves towards the altercation.

Move & Standard action= Double move closer to the combat. Total move 20/20= 40. If someone can move Saphera, it would be appreciated. If not, I will move her later tonight.

Shield of faith: AC 28 | T 17 | FF 24 | -1/50 rds.
Bane: -4/5

As Goran moves back, Saphera slides over. Now face to face with the ghoul, she takes a moment to observe its movements and then times her attack accordingly. At the right moment, she lunges her blade forward into powerful thrust.

Free move= 5-foot adjustment, move action= Study target on the red and blue ghoul, Instant action= Suppress Redeemers Mercy, Swift action= Bane weapon, Standard action= Attack the Red Ghoul.

(Attack) +1 Cold Iron Bastard Sword vs. Red Ghoul: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 25 (Bane & Study Target)
(Damage): 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9 (Study Target)

Extra Damage
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

Total Damage: 17

Understood. I won't be able to access the map until later tonight. I'm going to assume we are not threatened. If I'm wrong about this, I will need to change Sapher's action.

Shield of faith: AC 18 | T 17 | FF 22 | -0/50 rds.

Sapher renews her magical protective barrier, then casually observes the new threat.

Move action= Study target on Quint and the closest ghoul, Standard action= Cast Shield of Faith. Free action= Knowledge religion on the ghouls.

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Are buffs still in effect, Lessor restoration etc, or has enough time passed that they have expired? Saphera ended combat with 2/50 rounds left on Shield of faith, but the time it took to collect all the loot, may have taken up that time.

sorry Saphera...missed that you were down...would have used a channel to heal...

All is good. Save the burst for combat. After combat, I'm ok with using the wand. Appreciated though.

If needed, I also have a wand I can use.

As the combat concludes, Saphera also pulls out a wand of CLW and begins healing herself.

Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

After the large contusion on her face heals up, she heads over to Derf to see if additional healing is required.

Shield of faith: AC 28 | T 17 | FF 24 | 2/50 rds.
Bane: -3/5

With an appreciative nod, Saphera slides in next to Derf. After the large construct rung her bell, it took a moment for her to regain her focus. After reorienting herself, she brings her blade into a powerful side-long slice.

Free- Five-foot adjustment, On command= Suppress Redeemer’s Mercy, Standard= Attack Flesh Golem.

(Attack) Cold Iron Bastard Sword vs. Flesh Golem: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 25 (Flank, Study target, Bane, Bless)
(Damage): 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11 (Study target)

Additional Damage
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7
Precise Strike: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Total Damage= 30

Shield of faith: AC 28 | T 17 | FF 24 | 1/50 rds.

Knowing she is likely going to take a solid hit from the creature, Saphera can’t help but try to move into a more tactical position before engaging the beast. At the first opportunity, she moves around the first set of pillars and then moves in closer.

Saphera will make a double move, which will provoke an AoO from the creature.

“Derf, could you slide over a little so I can get behind this thing. I’m a lot more effective if I’m flanking it.”

Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm flanking in this corner or not. So many large combatants.

Since I said it is what it is, I'll allow that knowledge in character. It is fairly obvious.

I thought that might be the case, but I didn't want to assume it. I will have a post up a little later tonight. I'm unable to access the map from work.

I know you named this thing as a flesh golem in the post. Are we commonly aware that this is a construct in character. I ask this with the intent of using bane. If we don't know what it is, then I wouldn't be able to bane against it. If we commonly recognize it as a construct, then I would be able to.

Could be wrong, but I think it might be knowledge arcane, which Saphera got the crappy roll of 11. Meh, dice-bot.

Is the golem still in the corner of the room, or did it get past Derf and the map needs to be updated? The "Lumbering forward, squeezing past the pillars," leads me to think it moved.

Dimak's post sounds correct.

Just noting, Sapher's first round action should be unchanged.

Saphera would also like to apply the lessor restoration from her spell list before entering the tomb.

Saphera takes a moment to carefully observe the large mound of flesh. After getting a solid look at it, she once again conjures a protective barrier.

Move action= Study target on the Flesh Golom, Free action= Consider the creature and its weaknesses, Standard action= Shield of faith.

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

I won't have access to the map until later this evening. Sory for the delay.

Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Am I correct that the sickened condition from the previous fight is now gone?

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

"I'll help with the process." Saphera offers as she starts collecting up whats needed.

Knowledge (Religion) AID Another: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Shield of faith 3/50 (AC) 27
Bane 2/5

Caught a bit off guard when the Berbalang takes flight, Saphera barely gets a latent swing off as the abomination begins its retreat.

( AoO Attack) Cold Iron Bastard Sword vs. Berbalang: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 1 - 2 = 13 (Flank, Study target, Bane, Fatigue, and Sickened)
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 - 2 - 1 = 10 (Study target, Fatigued, Sickened)

Additional damage
Bane: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Precise strike: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Sneak attack: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Shield of faith 3/50 (AC) 27
Bane 2/5

Saphera continues applying pressure with an aggressive offence. After recovering from her previous thrust, she brings her blade into an arced downward swing.

Free action= Suppress Redeemer's Mercy, Standard action= Attack the Berbalang.

(Attack) Cold Iron Bastard Sword vs. Berbalang: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 = 22 (Flank, Study target, Bane, Fatigue, and Sickened)
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 - 2 - 1 = 9 (Study target, Fatigued, Sickened)

Additional damage
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7
Precise strike: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Sneak attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Total damage 18

Shield of faith 2/50 (AC) 27 It now includes fatigued.
Bane 1/5

After watching the large man smash the Berbalang hard enough to get its attention, Saphera reverts to an offensive stance and then lunges her sword straight for the abomination's torso.

Swift action= Suppress redeemer's Mercy, Standard= attack the Berbalang.

(Attack) Cold Iron Bastard Sword vs. Berbalang: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 = 24 (Flank, Study target, Bane, Fatigue, and Sickened)
(Damage): 1d10 + 4 + 2 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 - 2 - 1 = 10 (Study target, Fatigued, Sickened

Additional damage
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10
Precise strike: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Sneak attack: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Total Damage= 26

She misses to aid another? I thought the target was vs AC 10?

Shield of faith 1/50 (AC) 28/ 30 Fighting defensively

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 (Sickened)

Saphera adjusts her positioning back five-foot, flanking Dimak's new opponent. After repositioning, she carefully observes the winged creature and begins looking for any sign of weakness. Without delay, she brings her sword into a defensive low swing, directed at the creature's leg.

Free= five-foot adjustment, Move= study target on Berbalang and Green, Standard= Fighting defensively (Aid another's attack for Dimak.)

(Attack) Aid another (Dimak's attack): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 4 - 1 = 14 (+2 to Dimak's next attack (Aid) | Another +2 for flank.)

Claremguard, I stated a few posts back the Saphera shares whatever knowledge she uncovers with the group. With that, you would know they are undead. The group would also know about the DR of the Berbalang.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

It's going to sound mean but I'd say you're out of prep time at this point since we're now in initiatives.

I don't think its mean, we just needed to know if it was a thing or not so we could post accordingly.

Lesser Restoration has a 3-round cast time.

Nice catch. She would have reversed the spells in that case. Lesser Restoration as prep, if we have the time, and shield of faith on round 1. No prep, then only shield of faith.

Shield of Faith AC 28 | T 17 | FF 24 | 0/50 rds. (Because there was no reply about time to prep, i’m going to go with there wasn't and post accordingly.)

Round One
Knowing that violence is imminent, Saphera conjures a protective barrier to help mitigate some of the incoming attacks. After finishing her spell, she slides forward, next to Derf, in order to create a front line. Once there, she begins carefully observing two of the Ghasts (Blue & Yellow).

(No prep) Standard action= Cast shield of faith, Free= Five foot adjustment, Move action= Study target on blue & Yellow.

(With prep) Seeing shield of faith would have been cast before combat begun, she would then cast lessor restoration on herself instead of shield of faith. The rest of the actions would be the same.

IF, we have time to prepare, Saphera will cast shield of faith on herself.

(It sounds like we intend to engage. Do we have time to prep or are we going straight into combat?)

(With Gm's discretion, I would like to know what its weakness is. If it has any DR and what it takes to bypass it. Saphera will share what information she knows to everyone in the group.)

Saphera carefully observes the flying creature as the group decides if they want to engage or withdraw.

Knowledge (Religion) I.D.: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Stand ready! Undead!"

Knowledge (Religion) I.D.: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

(Saphera will follow the groups decision on engagement.)

"That's an interesting insight Claremguard. You may be right about all of it. There are so many politics and opinions about religion. I wish things could be simpler." Saphera replies as she concentrates on the detect magic spell.

As intrigued as she is with the shrine, she nods in agreement to Derf's reasoning. "I am more than a bit curious why they would need to disguise a shrine such as this. Sarenrae is a fairly well received Patheon."

Before leaving, Saphera casts detect magic and focuses on the shrine and the area around it from a distance. Shortly after that, she detects evil in the general area.

Am I correct in assuming that our spells and abilities are reset after the nights rest? I'm also good with Dimak's suggested marching order.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

After falling into line with the other, Saphera stood by and observed patiently while Derf skillfully dealt with the trap. Once the group gets within viewing distance of the altar, Saphera takes a hard look at it.

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Something about the altar looks familiar to her, but she just can't seem to put a finger on it. After taking a moment to consider some of her previous studies about such things, she shares with the group what she can remember.

(Apologies, I mis typed. I meant Chimera, not Wyvern.)

Shield of Faith 1/50 rds. AC 28/Tch 17/FF 24
Bane 1/5 rounds.

Saphera moves, taking cover from any possible ranged attack the beast might have. Once behind cover, she spends a moment considering her studies about such creatures and then prepares to strike if the beast lands.

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 (Nope, don't know much about it.)

(Note that, in the future, whenever Saphera successfully identifies a creature, she will shout out what she knows at the earliest opportunity.

Move action= Move to cover, Free action= Knowledge check & Suppress Redeemer's Mercy, Standard action= Ready to attack if the creature comes within range.

(Ready-Attack) Cold-iron Bastard sword vs. Wyvern: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 = 19
(Damage): 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9

Saphera would be excluded from the AoO's because she stepped out of combat to cast SOF.

Shield of Faith 0/50 rds. AC 28/Tch 17/FF 24
Bane 1/5 rounds.

After carefully observing the creature, Saphera roots out certain consistencies in its behavior (Study target +2 att. and dam.). After watching the onslaught of the beast’s attack, she takes a step back and conjuries a protective shield.

Free= Five-foot step back, Move action= Study target, Standard action= Cast shield of faith.

Bane 1/5 rds.

Round 1 action Somewhat taken back by the chimera, Saphera quickly moves into a flanking position while drawing her sword and suppressing Redeemers mercy. After carefully observing the creature, she aligns her blade against it and then brings her blade into a powerful side-long swing.

(Move action= Move, Swift action= Bane, Standard action= Attack.)

(Attack) Cold Iron Bastard Sword vs Chimera: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 = 29
(Damage): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Critical Conformation: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24
(Critical Damage): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Additional Damage
Bane : 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8
Precise Strike: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Total Damage = 31

After returning with a fair amount of firewood, Saphera creates a small pile next to the fire pit and then begins building a small fire.

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 (Creating a fire.)

Sapher moves into the natural enclosure and then sets her pack down. After untying a couple leather thongs, she pulls out a bed roll and a winter blanket. Deciding the existing campfire is likely the best place to recreate a fire, she unravels her bed roll next to it.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

"Perhaps we should gather some wood for the night. I suspect it's going to get quite cold."

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 (Searching for basic wood.)

Thank you for pointing that out. I was unaware of that.

Correction made.

- 175 more gold for the second level spell and reducing the quantity to (2)

New total 314 gp and 4 sp.

"Whish I new more about traps, I could help. I really know little to nothing about dealing with such things. Might be something I should learn some day."

@Saphera Moonglade: The scroll price you posted looks weird. Lesser Restoration is a second level spell, which means one scroll has a price of 150 gold - or am I mistaken?

I could be wrong about this, but her goes.

I use hero labs when buying or managing the character. When I pulled up Restoration / Lessor, it priced it as the lowest level that it could possibly be cast at. In this case, paladin can cast it at level 1 @ 25gp each.

Scrolls:

A scroll is a spell (or collection of spells) that has been stored in written form. A spell on a scroll can be used only once. The writing vanishes from the scroll when the spell is activated. Using a scroll is basically like casting a spell. The price of a scroll is equal to the level of the spell × the creator’s caster level × 25 gp. If the scroll has a material component cost, it is added to the base price and cost to create. Table: Scrolls gives sample prices for scrolls created at the lowest possible caster level for each spellcasting class. Note that some spells appear at different levels for different casters. The level of such spells depends on the caster scribing the scroll.

Based on this, am I to assume that the lowest possible caster level is 1 seeing paladin can cast it at level 1? Hero labs is automatically assigning it as level 1. Simply put, I'm unsure. Any guidance on this would be helpful.
