Sarek, the Cinnabar Sage's page

Thanks, GM. This was a blast.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 17

"Thank you, Emberwik."

"Take care, Daxter!"

Sarek steps back, activates his boots of speedand attacks the knight.

Attack, Power Attack, Inspire, Flagbearer, Haste: 1d20 + 24 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 24 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 44
Damage, power attack, inspire, sonic: 1d10 + 17 + 9 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 17 + 9 + 2 + (2) = 38

Attack, Power Attack, Inspire, Flagbearer, Haste: 1d20 + 24 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 24 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 29
Damage, power attack, inspire, sonic: 1d10 + 17 + 9 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 9 + 2 + (1) = 33

Attack, Power Attack, Inspire, Flagbearer, Haste: 1d20 + 19 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 19 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 24
Damage, power attack, inspire, sonic: 1d10 + 17 + 9 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 9 + 2 + (4) = 36

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31 +3 if Mind Blank applies.

Sarek steps forward and strikes out at the green knight.

Attack, Power Attack, Inspire, Banner: 1d20 + 24 - 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 24 - 3 + 2 + 2 = 30
Damage, power attack, Inspire, sonic: 1d10 + 17 + 9 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 9 + 2 + (5) = 37

"If you need restoration before we continue on, Roary, I'd gladly pay a cleric for the service. The least I can do to the man who killed a...well, whatever that thing was, anyway."

Sarek will track down a cleric to cast restoration on Roary, and another for himself, for a total of 760 gold.

As a jeweled sage, Sarek will accept this knowledge, confident in his own moral rectitude and willpower to resist any corrupting influence it may bring.

"Excellent job, Roary. Lenny, I can't believe you are still standing."

Sarek will use his wand of lesser restoration, use Size Alteration to grow to large size, and use Sudden Insight for a bonus to his strength check to try to shove one of the ritual stones out of alignment.

Strength, size, Sudden Insight, crowbar: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 + 7 = 28

Fly: 1d20 + 1 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 7 - 1 = 23

Sarek takes a five-foot step and attacks the dragon.

Swift to Sudden Insight on the first attack, free action to activate boots of speed.

Attack, Sudden insight, haste, outflank, negative level, fatigued: 1d20 + 24 + 7 + 1 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 24 + 7 + 1 + 4 - 1 = 40
Damage, fatigued: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (5, 4) + 15 = 24

Attack, haste, outflank, negative level, fatigued: 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 24 + 1 + 4 - 1 = 44
Damage, fatigued: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (1, 1) + 15 = 17

Attack, haste, outflank, negative level, fatigued: 1d20 + 19 + 1 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 19 + 1 + 4 - 1 = 34
Damage, fatigued: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (4, 7) + 15 = 26

Blech, but hopefully Roary brings this thing down and these attacks don't even go off.

Sarek takes a deep breath and teleports forward.

Will: 1d20 + 14 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 14 - 1 = 31

Free action to activate the boots of haste. Casting dimension door with my last 5th level slot. Not power attacking since Lenny is down and I am fatigued and have negative levels.

Attack, Haste, Negative Level, Fatigue, Ghost touch weapon: 1d20 + 24 + 1 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 24 + 1 - 1 - 1 = 30
Damage, Fatigued, ghost touch: 2d8 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (6, 4) + 17 - 2 = 25

Attack, Haste, Negative Level, Ghost touch weapon: 1d20 + 24 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 24 + 1 - 1 = 44

I'm going to try to use the Triumph Over Scales boon from 8-99B to gain a +10 Insight bonus on this confirmation roll. It works on Dragons and humanoids with the reptilian subtype, so it may not apply, but its worth a shot.

Confirmation roll: 1d20 + 24 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 24 + 1 - 1 = 31 +10 insight bonus potentially.
Damage, Fatigued, ghost touch: 2d8 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (6, 1) + 17 - 2 = 22
Extra Damage if the crit confirms: 4d8 + 34 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 7) + 34 = 52

Attack, Haste, Negative Level, Ghost touch weapon: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 19 + 1 - 1 = 31
Damage, Fatigued, ghost touch: 2d8 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (8, 7) + 17 - 2 = 30

Oof, not the best, but at least one guaranteed hit. Hopefully I can soften it up a little for Roary.

Sarek stands shakily, and infuses his glaive with ethereal energy with a touch.

Move to stand, Standard to use Legacy Weapon to put ghost touch on my glaive, and swift to activate Sudden Speed.

"I'll not tarry." Sarek calls out grimly.

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Sarek grabs his glaive.

Assuming he survives an AoO, He then casts dimension door defensively.

Move to take glaive, swift to use Sudden Insight for another +7 to the concentration roll, and standard to cast dimension door.

Concentration: 1d20 + 21 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 21 + 7 = 38

[ooc]Mini placed assuming I'm not unconscious again, and anti-teleportation shenanigans aren't active.

We did just get that burst of healing aid token as well, Emberwick. Might as well trigger that now, if everyone else is cool with it.

Ha, never seen anyone use earthquake effectively, thats awesome.

I have the life rune boon from 4-26 treating my Constitution as 7 points higher for purposes of dying, and the Soul Warden Scarab Sage faction sheet boon treating my Con as 4 higher for purposes of dying. Additionally, I have the Ouroborous Rebirth boon from 7-11: when I would be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, as an immediate action I can cross the boon off to recover 3d8+5 hit points before dying or falling unconscious.

3d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1, 6) + 5 = 13

Side note: 20 touch doesn't hit the Gashdoroku. Brutal. I figured the archons would have a tough time with the spirit dragon, but not the Gashdoroku.

Will Save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 +3 mind-affecting.
Fort Save#1: 1d20 + 17 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 17 - 1 = 17
Fort Save#2: 1d20 + 17 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 17 - 1 = 22

Ouch. So fatigued, and -1 to just about everythin.

Sarek eyes the scroll of death ward in his belt reluctantly before stepping forward and wading in.

Swift action to use Sudden Insight, giving me a +7 to hit on my first attack; free action to activate boots of speed; five foot step and full attack on the Gashdoroku.

Attack, Sudden Insight, Power Attack, Fatigue, Pillar, Flagbearer, Haste: 1d20 + 24 + 6 - 3 - 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 24 + 6 - 3 - 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 = 42
Damage, Power Attack, Fatigue, Flagbearer: 2d8 + 15 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8, 7) + 15 + 9 + 2 = 41

Damage, Power Attack, Fatigue, Flagbearer: 2d8 + 15 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3) + 15 + 9 + 2 = 35

Attack, Power Attack, Fatigue, Pillar, Flagbearer, Haste: 1d20 + 19 - 3 - 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 19 - 3 - 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 = 28
Damage, Power Attack, Fatigue, Flagbearer: 2d8 + 15 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 15 + 9 + 2 = 30

!!! Nicely done, Roary!

Moment of Glory is different from the bonus sheets from Destiny of the Sands. It was a convention boon, #9 from 2013-2014, per Eshleman's boon spreadsheet.

Fort vs. Finger of Death, last 4-leaf clover: 1d20 + 2 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 17 = 35

"Ominous. Look alive, fellows."

Sarek recasts lead blades and mirror image, and uses a charge off his wand of heightened awareness (in that order).(I will expend that if combat begins.)

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34 +3 if mind-affecting
Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 +3 if mind-affecting
Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 +3 if mind-affecting

Images: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

In addition to the lead blades, Sarek is going to cast an extended mirror image and use a charge from his wand of freedom of movement before departing.

Images: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

A sensible choice. I'll do the same.

I believe we are waiting for an overseer announcement to open the next segment.

"Strange. Its giving me the location of an ancient short sword. In the Black Caverns"

Satisfied, Sarek cracks the clay orb open.

Actually, I completely forgot I had this.

Sarek closes his eyes and uses the power of his divination implement to look to the future.

Spending a point of Focus in my Divination Implement to use Future Sight. Standard action augury, with a caster level of 14. Weal or woe, what will happen if I break the clay?

Tricksy. What do you guys think?

Disgusted, Sarek will translate the journal to the others and takes a close look at the clay ball in the serpents mouth.

Perception on the clay ball: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (7) + 26 = 33

Ravenous, Sarek tears into some rations after the battle, pausing only to use his wand of infernal healing.

It'll take four minutes and four charges to heal to full. I'll also use a charge from my wand of lesser restoration to hopefully get rid of the fatigue condition.

When the pathfinders are ready to move on, Sarek casts an extended lead blades.

Thank you, GM.

Sarek flies across the room to the remaining undead.

Double move.

Thanks for the reminder, Lenny. I'm not sure if I'll get the flank based on your current position as I believe you are below the level that the creature and I are on. If I am flanking with Lenny, my attacks will be +4 higher.

Sarek steps to the side and full attacks. Taking the extra attack.

Attack, Power Attack, Fatigued, Inspired, Flagbearer: 1d20 + 24 - 4 - 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 24 - 4 - 1 + 2 + 2 = 29 +4 with Outflank

Damage: 1d10 + 15 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 9 + 2 + 2 = 32
Sonic: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Sarek teleports across the battlefield at the red Devourer.

Attack, Power Attack, Haste, Flagbearer, Inspire, Fatigued: 1d20 + 24 - 4 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 24 - 4 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 1 = 41

Damage: 1d10 + 15 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 9 + 2 + 2 = 31

Attack, Power Attack, Haste, Flagbearer, Inspire, Fatigued: 1d20 + 19 - 4 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 19 - 4 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 1 = 21
Damage: 1d10 + 15 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 9 + 2 + 2 = 36

[ooc]Dimensional Dervish, free action to activate the boots of speed.

Delaying for Lenny.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26

Sarek draws a scroll of Death Ward from his handy haversack and reads it, surrounding himself in a momentary soft blue glow.

UMD, DC 27: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (9) + 28 = 37

Sarek relays what he knows about these undead to the others.

Move to draw scroll, standard to read.

While waiting for Emberwik to return, Sarek will use his wand of infernal healing to heal his wounds.

"Before we fought that creature, as I examined the shards of mirror, I heard a voice in my mind. It referred to me as 'the living', and said that I was here for its secrets, and that 'we will speak more when I look upon its greatness.' Did anyone else hear that?"

Sarek activates his boots of speed and lays into the skull.

Attack, Haste, Flagbearer, Power Attack, Bane: 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 2 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 24 + 1 + 2 - 4 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d10 + 2d6 + 17 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + (2, 6) + 17 + 9 + 2 + 2 = 44

Attack, Haste, Flagbearer, Power Attack, Bane: 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 2 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 24 + 1 + 2 - 4 + 2 = 33
Damage: 1d10 + 2d6 + 17 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + (6, 5) + 17 + 9 + 2 + 2 = 51

Attack, Haste, Flagbearer, Power Attack, Bane: 1d20 + 19 + 1 + 2 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 19 + 1 + 2 - 4 + 2 = 36
Damage: 1d10 + 2d6 + 17 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + (2, 5) + 17 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 38

Expending a use of four-leaf clover.

Fort: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 2 = 27

Apologies, GM, I've been agonizing over my next move too long.

I have overland flight up, Lenny, but thank you.

Sarek is going to use Legacy Weapon to give his glaive undead bane[i]. He'll move closer to the rest of the group for a potential [i]dimension door next round.[/i] Move action, standard to Legacy Weapon, no swift.

"I may be able to teleport several of you into the pit should it not reveal itself."

Sarek calls upon his transmutation implement for a little extra speed, flies forward and casts gust of wind.

Aiming northeast. Not sure if this will affect the effect or not.

Swift to use Sudden Speed, move to fly, standard to cast gust of wind.

Sarek gasps, glad to make it through the wail alive. He activates his boots of speed and teleports toward the creature.

Since I didn't use that immediate I'll full round and a swift to use Dimensional Dervish.

Attack, Power Attack, Flagbearer, haste: 1d20 + 24 - 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 24 - 3 + 2 + 1 = 36
Damage: 1d10 + 17 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 17 + 9 + 2 = 33

Damage: 1d10 + 17 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 17 + 9 + 2 = 35

Attack, Power Attack, Flagbearer, haste: 1d20 + 19 - 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 19 - 3 + 2 + 1 = 33
Damage: 1d10 + 17 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 17 + 9 + 2 = 36

Using a charge of my four-leaf clover for a +2 luck bonus, and as an immediate action crossing off the Secrets of Serpent Magic boon to gain a +4 insight bonus on a spell or spell-like ability saving throw.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 17 + 2 + 4 = 28

Oh man, I am not confident about that number. Man. Shirt re-roll, 4-star GM.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 17 + 2 + 4 + 4 = 46

Disable Device on the Stone Hallway: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Finally, Sarek settles in on the mirror, and recalls his battle against the spirit Aryana Tahari alongside the other Jeweled Sages, shortly before he had crafted his own sage jewel. 9-07: Salvation of the Sages.

Perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (12) + 26 = 38

Sarek studies the wards with detect magic for several minutes.

Using my Honored Acolyte boon to roll Knowledge (Arcana) twice and take the higher.

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38
Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38

Sarek steps forward and full attacks.

Attack, Power Attack, Flagbearer, Inspire, Bane: 1d20 + 24 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 24 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 46
Damage, as above: 2d8 + 2d6 + 17 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6) + (1, 3) + 17 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 48
Extra sonic: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Attack, Power Attack, Flagbearer, Inspire, Bane: 1d20 + 19 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 19 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 27
Damage, as above: 2d8 + 2d6 + 17 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + (1, 6) + 17 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 44
Extra sonic: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Sarek moves up behind Roary and attacks Purple.

Power Attack, Bane, Flagbearer, Inspire: 1d20 + 24 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 24 - 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 28
Damage, Bane, Flagbearer, Inspire: 2d8 + 2d6 + 17 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6, 2) + (3, 6) + 17 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 49
Additional sonic damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

The round before the wall expires or is dismissed, Sarek will use Legacy Weapon to give the glaive Ooze Bane. He can shake a wand at Brutus or Roary in the meantime if they want healing.

Also GM, you have Sarek at 122/122. He should have a total HP of 129--8 at first, 65 more for 13 levels of occultist, 42 for a 16 con, and 14 more for Toughness.

I will indeed delay, although as Red has been destroyed I won't gain the benefits of Champion's Weal.

Sarek pokes his glaive carefully between the Pathfinders in front of him to strike at Yellow.

I have Phalanx Formation, so allies will not provide cover to the ooze.

Full Attack, Power Attack, Flagbearer: 1d20 + 24 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 24 - 3 + 2 = 40
Damage (weapon overcomes Alignment DR: 2d8 + 17 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 17 + 9 + 2 = 32

Full Attack, Power Attack, Flagbearer: 1d20 + 19 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 19 - 3 + 2 = 29
Damage (weapon overcomes Alignment DR): 2d8 + 17 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3, 8) + 17 + 9 + 2 = 39

"Thank you, sir." Sarek says to Caleban.

On arriving at the crater, Sarek tightens his grip on his glaive, takes a breath, and strides forward, ready for whatever he might face.

Totally not ready for whatever we are going to face.

After a moments thought, Sarek also decides to pay one of the nearby Seekers for a casting of mind blank.

Paying 1,200 gold for a single casting of mind blank. Lasts 24 hours. That will bump my save vs. mind-affecting by +3.
