Sharletta's page

I have no divinations that would be useful at this time. One we're amongst the locals you'll find me quite apt at gathering information. she turns to Arinolus. Are the natives collected together in one nation or divided into many? What is their leadership structure like?

Sharletta shows Caravalle one of her drones. It appears as an absolutely miniscule spider and as you guessed it is only quasi real, mostly being made up of psychic energy. With Arinolus as our witness, I swear I will use these only for your benefit.

I am quite comfortable with infiltration, it was this forms purpose before... And worry not about our form, we know many find it fearsome, we have adapted for this. After a moment Sharletta's body begins to morph. Her upper elven-like body shows little change, besides the odd white markings covering it disappear. Her lower body though rapidly morphs into two slender humanoid legs, a skirt which had previously been propped up by her arachnid body now unfurls down to her knees covering bare form just on time.

She speaks hurriedly against the accusations. You caught me. It isn't bad, or rather it doesn't have to be. It's purpose is to give me easier access to your body and mind... Wait no! That sounds bad. I intend to use it only for your benefit. To communicate with you over great distances, give you an energy boost, it can even improve your mental defences... at least against others. Sharletta takes a moment to try and calm herself. We have historically used it to dominate, to create thralls, both living and dead. But We no longer exist, only I. Sporaxus consumed all but me! Sporaxus will die! And all of you will help me. I will not harm or control you. I only sought to trick you because I have found it easier to ask for forgiveness after one has seen the benefits. You individualistic species tend to find having another being inside you to be... unsettling. You sense no lies in what she says, only anger at Sporaxus, sadness and fear at being alone, and confusion at "individualistic species".

Dang, I don't think any of you can fail that sense motive check.

Ah yes, a good idea. Sharletta motions her hands and utters a few words of magic Invenire scientia quaerentium. That should block out others' attempts to find us and let me find them. I can lower this defence if need be.
She casts Detect Scrying which will last for 22 hours and radiates out 80ft from her.

As Caravalle finishes casting her spell on Sharletta, she casts a spell of her own. Allow me, this will make you unaffected by my magic when I envelope myself in darkness. Oh, and you might feel a slight pinch. Patet visus. A moment after you feel the magic wash over you, you do feel a small needle-like prick where her hand touches yours and then a subtle pain that travels up the arm and neck before subsiding.
She casts clearsight on you, which will also last for 22 hours. She then uses the implant drone ability from gravecrawler

Sharletta then repeats this process with everyone else, making sure to mention the slight pain that might come from her spell, smiling as she does.

bluff: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (4) + 38 = 42

Finally! We can start taking the fight to them. I've had enough lounging around. she wipes away some leftover morsels of food, grinning with a toothy smile and wild eyes. Do we know the Mantle's exact location? How long has this Gorvet been there?

Sharletta lies upon a sheet of webbing strung between two tall oaks. Hearing the summons she stirs from her slumber, stretching out her body. She is greeted by the bright morning sun and the expansive canopy of green. to her left, she can spot the nearby village, though only the temple of Arinolus peaks through the forest's cover. She had killed a local monster that had been plaguing the village's livestock. In thanks, they had showered her with gifts of local delicacies and fine linen. They would have run scared of me before. But now that I killed what they could not, and showed my strength, they welcome me? What fools.

Answering the summons she blinks out of that realm and into the Cynosure. Before those gathered appears a new creature. Their form is that of a slender elf-like woman but with a spider's thorax and eight legs jutting out from beneath her waist. Her hair and spider parts share the same charcoal colour while her skin is pale and dotted with streaks of white and grey markings.

Her emerald eyes blink at the odd gathering of beings. What is Arinolus up to? You may address me as Sharletta. Does anyone know the specifics as to why we are here? Her wary eyes focus on the giant bird of fire, a small sense of unease in them. Noticing the table piled with food she strides over eyes peeling over its many delicacies. Taking her time she begins to pick at anything she has not seen before revelling in any unique experiences.

Sounds like a cool idea--it would go well with showing how The First Flame has learned that not *all* darkness is evil. The trick is figuring out which feat I'm willing to give up... I'll see if there's one I'm not too attached to.

Nevermind I found something else I want and can no longer afford the feat myself. Lol

...They also have Light and Nature powers, meaning they can apply glowing auras that have various beneficial or negative effects (such as 60 damage a round in a large radius or something similar to a constant Remove Fear) as well as control fire in various ways...

I've got a few Dark talents. Would you be up for grabbing the twilight adept teamwork feat?

I want to use Blight Kickers but I'm guessing I don't get a "feet" slot with my spider legs. Would you allow me to hand wave it and just say they're leg wrappings rather than boots? Or maybe make it use a different slot?

I think The First Flame would be my first choice too.

Trying to write up my backstory. How long does it normally take for Sporaxus to arrive after the harbingers have shown up?

I mean it sounds familiar but I can't quite place it.

Vee Gees here with Sharletta.
Still have more to do but a large chunk of her stats are done.
