Sayna Elantho's page

I’m recovering from surgery at the moment, so I won’t complain about wrapping up

Just a heads up that I’m going to be out of town with family on the 24th through the 27th and that I’ll be having outpatient surgery on the 3rd so will probably be conked out for a few days

Sayna moves forward and points her sword at the horrible devil, her banner flying in a phantom wind. ”Strike with verve and power! For Freedom! For the Society!”

Swift action to use For the King!, which gives a +6 competence bonus on attack and damage rolls for 1 round to all allies within. 30 ft

She then enters her battle stance, passing on the benefits of some of her training to her allies in melee. Using her corset of delicate moves for a second swift action to enter sisterhood style, which gives Aria and Thrag her Harrying Partners teamwork feat for a few turns. Also, every ally within 20 ft of her has a +1 untyped bonus to reflex and will saves

”I’ve been indebted to an evil master once before, and she was at least smoking hot. Sorry, darling.”

Works for me!

Sayna salutes casually using her sword. ”Works fine by me. We should be wary of devil trickery, though.”

Knwoledge (planes) w/heightened awareness: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23

Sayna waves her fingers delicately at the woman. ”Why hello. I do love to be threatened by a beautiful woman, but I am afraid I am on the clock now. I must ask that stand down so we can talk this out.”

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (14) + 31 = 45

Initiative (if needed): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Sayna bows. ”I swear that I shall look for it. Devils are a wily bunch.”

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 2

I’m not feeling well and need a couple of days. I apologize for the inconvenience

”Huh. How strange.” Sayna sheathes her sword for the moment as she looks through the vials for hers. When she eventually finds it, she pockets it. ”Probably best to not leave this here for whoever made it to…do something.”

Is there a vial with Maganrad’s name?

Having a really busy work week so sorry for the radio silence. I’ll get up a proper post tomorrow

Sayna taps the flat of her sword against her shoulder. "Shaping works for me. Though I echo Rognak's concerns."

Oh damn, sorry thought I posted here that I’m out of town all weekend visiting family and won’t be getting back until later tomorrow. Sorry for the oversight!

And yes, Sayna would have cast heightened awareness.

”Headmaster, I think it would be in everyone’s best interest if we just make this whole matter disappear. Aside from ruining the girl’s life, imagine what a pall an event like this would cast over the entire Breaching Festival? Why, I could even see people wanting to cancel it. Not to mention that the city authorities would be itching for the chance to exert some extra oversight into your school. Let’s just let it go.”

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (7) + 31 = 38

Sayna pats the girl on the shoulder. ”I will speak with the headmaster. No worries, dear. This kind of thing happens in magic schools.”

Are we gonna roleplay out that meeting or do you just want me to roll diplomacy?

Sayna kneels down and offers a hand. ”Now what mischief have you been up to, dear? Do not worry. You are safe. Just tell us what happened.”

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (11) + 31 = 42

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Sayna steps forward and enters her battle stance. All allies within 20 ft get a +1 untyped bonus to ref and will saves. It also lets two allies get her Harrying Partners teamwork feat, Thrag and Aria in this case

”Strike down the horrible creature, comrades! Show them your might!”

Activating Lion’s Call, which gives all allies within 60 ft a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls and a +6 competence bonus on saves vs fear

Swift to enter stance, move to move, standard to activate Lion’s Call

Sayna salutes Jandar and greets him politely, putting on a good show of formality. ”I have never relied much on magic anyways, so this should be easy.”

Sayna leans against the wall with a foot up against it. ”A pleasure, Aria, and others assembled. You can always let me handle the talking.”

A brief outburst of shouting and bright smack of a fist hitting bare flesh breaks the silence of the hallway outside the room. Stumbling into the room, a woman in the distintive steel and sanguine armor of Korvosa's Gray Maidens grimaces as she massages her cheek. She leans out into the hallway and shouts after someone. "Look, I deserved that, but the dinner offer still stands!" Her voice has a tinge of Osiriani around the edges. She throws up her gauntleted hands in futility as she turns back from the doorway, still cradling her cheek. She winces and checks her hand for blood.

Finally noticing the seated Thrag, she salutes in the quick, jaunty manner of someone who enjoys flaunting conventions. And there is nothing conventional about her. She has pageboy cut of red hair, fiery orange eyes, and cruel scars running across her entire face in valleys and cracks. The scars have been done over with tattoos, the ink of which pulsates like a warm fire. On her back, she carries a standard with a scarlet rose charge on a silver field, the banner fluttering in a phantom wind. Her hand caresses the pommel of a sheathed longsword. "Sorry about that. Entirely my fault." She does not take a seat, instead casually strolling the room as she takes in the surroundings. "An old flame, one could say. One with quite a hook. What I first noticed about her."

She throws up another perfunctory salute. ”First Sergeant Sayna Asenath Elantho, Scarlet Rose Company, Eagle Knight, etcetera....” She points towards Thrag's weapons. "I presume you're here for the Society job?"

Howdy!

Sayna is a support character with a lot going on, so I will try to keep on-top of checking gameplay in combat to make sure people know about what bonuses she is giving. I consider reminding people of my bonuses and keeping track of them part of my job as support, so I’m happy to do whatever is necessary to make it easy on y’all! I’m including it all below for reference, but I will do my best to stay on top of keeping y’all updated in combat!

Cool! Just wanted to check in :D

This still happening?

I should note that Daathiel's bardic performance stacks with that of most other bards (it provides an Insight bonus) in case you thought of taking two bards.

Sayna is also barely a bard for what it’s worth!

I have a cavalier/bard level 13 that I would love to bring. Just gotta update her paizo profile!

Sayna directs and collects as many Pathfinders as she can. She is sworn to protect her comrades, and protect her comrades she shall. She pushes through debris with one hand while holding her banner high with the other. She does not worry for a moment about her own safety; she knows it would take more than some rocks to do her in, and the volcanic heat is even less of a worry. The entire time, she sings.

”Let’s get down to business to defeat our foes
Did they send my cowards when I asked for knights?
You’re the saddest lot I’ve ever met
But you can bet before we’re through,
Madame, I’ll make a woman out of you.

(Be a woman)
We must be swift as the coursing river
(Be a woman)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(Be a woman)
With all the strength of a raging fire
(Be a woman)
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
(Be a woman)
We must be swift as the coursing river
(Be a woman)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(Be a woman)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!”

Idk why, but for some reason it won’t let me post unless I write something here

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Will Save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

In order from lowest to highest CL: 1 Longstrider, 2 Fly, 3 Haste, 4 Heroism

1d4 ⇒ 1

Sayna is caught off guard by the monster's spell eating ability and is unable to prepare herself. However, her strike against the fleeing monster hits powerfully.

AoO (heroism, inspire +4, challenge, haste, hunter's blessing, power attack): 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (20) + 17 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 1 - 3 = 44
Damage (inspire +4, challenge, hunter's blessing, power attack): 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 23
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 17 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 1 - 3 = 38
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 28

She is just barely able to dodge away from the worst of the blast of cold and the accompanying appropriate end for an ifrit.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22
If she hadn't made that, she'd be at -17 and dead right now D:

Sayna levels her sword at the flying monstrosity, making clear her intent to challenge it to combat. Activating Challenge as a swift action

She then raises her banner high once more. ”This is just one more challenge, friends! Nothing we cannot handle. Surround and destroy!”

Standard action to use Strategy Order, hitting everyone. Y’all know the drill by now. She is taking the AC bump

She then takes to the sky, flying up into melee range of the monster. She will provoke from moving. Her AC is currently 35 vs the creature, 36 if we have haste

Since Sayna is in melee range of the monster she is challenging, everyone gets a +3 circumstance bonus on all melee attack rolls vs it

Heightened awareness is gone but Sayna would have kept longstrider up

Sayna is suddenly thankful she picked up that potion of fly earlier so she didn’t need to dig into her own stash.

Entering sisterhood style as a swift, drawing a potion of fly as a move, and drinking it with a standard

Thank you! I had a lovely day

Knowledge (religion) w/ha and heroism: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 13

Kiku Aid Mission: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 1) = 11

Sayna quietly mourns Ollysta’s passing. She has lost enough Sisters to know she needs to deal with such tragedies later, once she has had time to allow herself to feel. For now, she continues on with the task at hand.

Today is my birthday, so I might not have a chance to post until tomorrow. Apologies for the delay!

Sayna calls out once more. ”Strike it down now! For the safety of Golarion!” Swift action to use For the King! to give her and her allies within range a +5 competence bonus to attack and damage. It overlaps with inspire courage, but ends up with a net +1

She then rushes up next to the dragon with unexpected speed. Using her immediate action move now so she can full attack

Primary Attack with +1 Adamantine Longsword (FtK, heroism, challenge, haste, power attack, shaken): 1d20 + 17 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 17 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 3 - 2 = 24
Primary Damage (FtK, power attack, challenge): 1d8 + 6 + 5 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 5 + 6 + 4 = 24

Haste Attack with +1 Adamantine Longsword (FtK, heroism, challenge, haste, power attack, shaken): 1d20 + 17 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 3 - 2 = 27
Haste Damage (FtK, power attack, challenge): 1d8 + 6 + 5 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 5 + 6 + 4 = 24

Secondary Attack with +1 Adamantine Longsword (FtK, heroism, challenge, haste, power attack, shaken): 1d20 + 12 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 3 - 2 = 37
Secondary Damage (FtK, power attack, challenge): 1d8 + 6 + 5 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 5 + 6 + 4 = 28
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 17 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 3 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 17 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 3 - 2 = 26
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 5 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 5 + 6 + 4 = 28

Because of her challenge, as long as Sayna is threatening the dragon, all allies get a +3 circumstance bonus (which stacks with everything!) on melee attacks vs the dragon

Sayna advances to the south, pausing to call out to her comrades-in-arms. "We can wrap this up shortly! Keep holding it down, Narayan."

Using Lion's call as a standard action. Everyone within 60 ft gets a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls (doesn't stack with inspire courage) and a +5 competence bonus on saves vs fear (DOES stack with inspire courage) for 9 rounds

Unfortunately, I just realized upon a second look that lion's call only gives rerolls for frightened/panicked, not shaken. So it won't help with the shaken effect :/

Will Save vs Frightful Presence (inspire): 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 1 = 20

Will Save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Sayna laughs as the dragon disappears into the cloud. "Oh no, is the poor undead dragon scared of a few widdle mortals?" She drops her sword on a weapon cord, pulling out a wand and then tapping herself with it. She disappears from sight. "Two can play at that game!" She then stows the wand.

Her sword is on the ground, but I don't think it would be visible as the weapon cord is still attached to her. She just doesn't have the action to pick it up again yet

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

I'm guessing it's probably down by now after that flurry from Narayan and I'm making my move accordingly

Sayna is suddenly hit by a massive wave of hunger. Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7 With Narayan handling the gashadokuro, she instead heads north, pausing to remove her fatigue.

Casting invigorate on herself to suppress her fatigue for 20 minutes

She levels her sword at the dragon as a challenge to come face her.

Swift action to activate challenge vs the dragon. She has a +3 dodge bonus to AC vs it now, gives all allies a +3 circumstance bonus to hit it in melee as long as she is threatening (she isn't yet), does an extra 4 damage to it with all attacks

Move action to move, standard to cast invigorate, swift to activate challenge

Will Save DC 23: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Knowledge (arcana) DC 33 (heightened awareness, heroism): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 14

Knowledge (arcana) on dragon (heightened awareness, heroism): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 11

Knowledge (religion) on Bones (heightened awareness, heroism): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 28

Sayna draws a complete blank on what is going with this whole ritual thing or the dragon(?) thing. However, she does recognize the gashodokuro quite thoroughly. That’s a lot of info so let’s just say she shares everything up through the 28 spoiler on it

She then enters her stance and raises her banner and calls out to her allies. ”Now is our chance! Do not let them prepare before we crush them!” Using Strategy Order, y’all know the drill now. She’s gonna take the extra movement and hold onto it She then begins her advance, lining up at the front with Kirana’s treant.

Swift to enter sisterhood style (don’t forget will and reflex bonuses for being within 20 ft of her!), standard to use strategy order, move to move

Sayna doesn't bother with her longstrider yet as Melody’s haste spell makes it redundant. She instead refreshes her heightened awareness and uses a charge from her wand of blur.

Sayna looks to Kirana and smiles. ”I would to join you for a swim sometime. It would be interesting to see how well fire and water mix. If not today, then some other, more relaxed time. Wouldn’t it be lovely to have a chance to go swimming where I’m not weighted down by all this armor?” She tosses in an easy wink then goes back to the task at hand.

Sayna shakes herself as she comes out of the stun. She picks up her sword and her banner then enters her battle stance.

Move action to pick up sword, move action to pick up banner, and swift to enter sisterhood style, with all the bonuses that entails, including the untyped +1 to will and reflex saves for every ally within 30 ft. She’ll give harrying partners to Narayan and the drake next to him

Will Save (could cause her to betray or attack her allies): 1d20 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 3 = 20

Will Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

While Sayna doesn’t detect any deception, she still nevertheless has a feeling that this is somehow too good to be true. She just isn’t that lucky. You don’t get to 137 years old of her life and think you are lucky. The last time she thought she was lucky when the hellknight that enslaved her died to a plague in Korvosa and there was a new organization of personal guards for the Queen which was looking for members with her precise set of skills. An entire body covered in scars later, and she learned once and for all that she should never, ever believe herself lucky ever again.

”We can take the scroll, but I don’t think we should use it. A wish spell is a big deal. Maybe hold onto it until if or when we absolutely, desperately need it.”

Knowledge (history) w/heightened awareness, heroism, mummy’s mask boon: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 + 2 + (3) + 1 = 22

Sayna gives them both a wary eye, concerned about anything that sounds too good to be true, especially people offering wishes. Gonna take 10 on sense motive w/heroism for 37

Sayna takes the immediate action to move up to her speed

Sayna takes advantage of her burst of speed from her own order to advance and lay into the final monster.

Miss Chance (high is always good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 33
Primary Attack with Blessed +1 Adamantine Longsword (inspire, haste, power attack: 1d20 + 17 + 4 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 17 + 4 + 1 - 3 = 27
Primary Damage (inspire, power attack): 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 4 + 6 = 22

Miss Chance (high is always good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 75
Haste Attack with Blessed +1 Adamantine Longsword (inspire, haste, power attack: 1d20 + 17 + 4 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 17 + 4 + 1 - 3 = 34
Haste Damage (inspire, power attack): 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 + 6 = 18

Miss Chance (high is always good for me: 1d100 ⇒ 19
Secondary Attack with Blessed +1 Adamantine Longsword (inspire, haste, power attack: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 4 + 1 - 3 = 25
Secondaryp Damage (inspire, power attack): 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 + 6 = 18

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Sayna shrugs off the attack and circles around to slash at the blinded monster.

Attack with blessed +1 Adamantine Longsword (inspire, haste, flank, blinded target, power attack): 1d20 + 17 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 39
Damage (inspire, power attack): 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 + 6 = 19

If Narayan et al has dropped it already, she will instead use Strategy order

Sayna salutes Lazlo. ”Thanks for the info. I’ve got something to help kill them.”

She activates her Knight-Inheritor’s Ring to bless her weapon. Using her ring’s bless weapon sla as a standard action

She enters her battle stance and advances up to Narayan’s side. Giving harrying partners to Narayan and Viognier

Standard to use ring, swift to enter stance, move action to move

Sayna recognizes the sonic warfare going on and starts begin some of her own. She starts singing a rousing, militant tune, her old favorite from back when she was training the Gray Maiden recruits in tactics and warfare.

”Let’s get down to business
To defeat our foes
Did they send me cowards
When I asked for knights!
You’re the saddest bunch I’ve ever met
But you can bet before we’re through
Madame, I’ll make a woman out of you.”

Standard action to begin bardic performance: countersong. Anyone within 30 ft of Sayna gets to use the result of her perform check each round in place of their own save if they wish. If they have already failed their save vs the effect, they immediately get a new save, though they must use the result of my perform check

Countersong: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28

She advances around the statue to take up position next to Viognier to help protect them from another barrage of attacks.

Standard action and a move
