Oh crap. Sorry, I forgot to send you my email, my mind has been a sieve this past week. (That email will work though)

Shiradaz sees no reason to act. This fight looks well under control.

Mentioning this now in case this happens while I'm asleep or what not. I'm picking the extra move speed from BoF and moving behind Ka! If Ka! made his reflex save, then I'm casting resist energy (cold) on him. If he failed his reflex save, then I'm converting my pilfering hand into cure moderate wounds and healing him. I'll have the roleplay bit up when I know what I'm doing.

Quick question, did Shiradaz's last channel help out Ka? I am little unclear on the timings in this encounter.

I agree that the timings in this encounter are a bit confusing.

I have been going in rounds and adjudicating as players post, as per the ground rules in Discussion. If something in particular is not clear, just ask me here.

⌚⌛⌚⌛

Per Ka’s post, he moved forward in Round 1 and got zapped. Torvald called him back to safety in Round 2.

Shiradaz posts next, saying he moves up with the others and waits to be dim doored (Round 1). In Round 2, Shiradaz gets transported, tries the door (move) and channels (standard) from the other side! *cue spooky music*

Channelling is a burst effect. Ka presently has total cover from Shiradaz, so per the rules on p214 of the Core Rulebook, Shiradaz’s channelling only affects himself (if he desires), Torvald and Calistan.

Agreed with this. I couldn't open the door, so no getting people in the main room.

"Charvion Eater-of-Lies, you must answer for your crimes! Cease and desist now or I shall be forced to bring down the full power of Feronia upon you!"

Shiradaz strides into the room, watching Charvion, waiting.

He's threatening to turn us into animals, so I'm going to guess that he's some kind of spellcaster of some sort. Time to find out if he resists fire.

Shiradaz readies to empowered fireball him if he casts a spell. I'll avoid my allies, but if I'm forced to target myself to avoid everyone else because of his movement, then I will.

Round 1, Shiradaz will run up to the others. Fort save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17. Then he waits for Calistan to teleport everyone into the next room.

Once on the other side, he will try opening the door, channeling, and getting someone to close the door unless there is something else to worry about.
Channel Energy: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 5, 2) = 14

Channel to heal everyone after the last encounter.
Channel: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 3) = 12

Perception check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Dealing with weird artifacts wasn't part of his clerical training, so he waits for others to interact with it first.

Shiradaz sees the spectre run away and nods at Diri. "Excellent job. I see your faith is very strong as well." He then moves into the room and redirects his spiritual weapon at the yellow spectre.

Spiritual Weapon Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Spiritual Weapon Force Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

"Ah, it looks like we have incorporeal types. Time to switch tactics slightly. May Feronia herself smite you and send you back to where you came!"

Shiradaz casts spiritual weapon, focusing on the red spectre.

Spiritual Weapon Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Spiritual Weapon Force Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Huh. I could've sworn I checked on this thread yesterday... Wow... Anyway, not as if I need to do much, now that the swarms are gone we've just got a bunch of goblins...

Shiradaz moves behind Torvald and aims a fire bolt at the green goblin.
I think that there's a wall that's blocking me from going there directly, but the air walk means that I'm going at full speed, so I should be able to make it.

Fire Bolt Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Fire Bolt Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Shiradaz walks slightly above the ground thanks to his air walk, ignoring the grease. When he sees the swarms, he comments "Oh, just some pests I see. Allow me to exterminate them." He then casts fireball.

The orange circle is the center of the fireball - the outline should be where it reaches to.

Fireball (DC 19 Reflex): 9d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 6, 6, 6, 1, 4, 1) = 37

Phew! Thank the Gods for that!

Torvald draws a slim wand of oak and begins tapping himself. Once done he also taps Roland several times, recognising his bravery in facing down the dragon.

*dice omitted*

That looks like it gets us both back to full

Oh. my. god. Stop. using. wand. charges. I have channels that are only good for out of combat healing. At least use one of those first, then you can top yourselves off. I know how excited y'all are to use wand charges, but channeling is free and it's a resource that doesn't really matter.

Channel: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 6) = 21

There you go - you only need 3 charges. No need to spend the extra 105 gold.

Shiradaz stays in the back, letting the group lead, keeping his eyes peeled.

Shiradaz hears to run for cover and dutifully obeys, running into the mausoleum.

Will save vs. shaken: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

A double move should get me just inside the doors.

Given the post in the Discussion thread, I'm buffing myself with air walk and freedom of movement

"Yeah, I'm all for not taking on that dragon. If someone wants to run in to grab it's attention or attack it, I'm happy to cast resist energy on them and support them in combat though."

Shiradaz listens to what Opsrey has to say, and looks out towards the mausoleum! "Do not worry Osprey! We shall light the way and burn away those who mean to harm the Society!"

My! This is interesting ...

Congrats, Shiradaz!

Thanks!

Shiradaz watches Calistan move away from the goblins in front of them. "Look at you fools. You think you can stand in the way of competent adventurers? Eat Feronia's blessing!"

Intensified Burning Hands (DC 17 Reflex): 7d4 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 2) = 18
Straight ahead should get Pink, White and Orange. This provokes, but Orange may have already taken it against Calistan.

This is now the most I have used burning hands over the course of a scenario - if goblins really want to keep bunching up in front of me, I'll take it.

Also, I think I'm updated from my trip - did you guys count on me using any of my resources while I was away? (It's fine if you did, I just want to make sure I mark it off properly.)

I'm back - will update what I need to tomorrow. The last bit of Origins was... uh... interesting. And distracting.

Before they get too far from the arena, Shiradaz pauses for a moment. "Thank you Feronia for the strength to having to fight stupid goblins over and over again."

Channel Energy: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 4) = 17

This should bring us both back to full.

-----------

Shiradaz moves up quietly, trying to listen carefully. "I'll try to disrupt that caster while we close in."

If I can figure out where the caster is within fireball radius and I hear them casting, I'm going to fireball them while they're casting.

Thanks Calistan! I swear it was a good idea for me to run in - with a +9 bonus the goblins are basically at a coin flip to hit me, yet our illustrious gm keeps winning all the coin flips. :p I should probably invest in AC after this game though, although honestly most of what I do is longer range.

Shiradaz sees the goblin stabbing right towards a weak point in his armor and closes his eyes to brace for the impact. A moment later, he feels a scratch on his armor slightly above the spot. He opens his eyes. "Huh. Must've slipped. ... Eh, goblins are stupid." And with that he quickly steps back and continues his pattern of trying to immolate slightly-willing goblins.

Fire Bolt Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 vs. black
Fire Bolt Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Heads up guys - I will be at Origins this weekend. I'll be checking in as much as I can, but most of my effort will probably go towards the PbP Eyes of the Ten that I'm running.

No action during the three rounds to buff since I only had 1 damage on me – I don’t really have much in the way of buffs. I usually prep reactive spells and blasts.

Shiradaz looks at the goblins that have grouped up next to him. “You apparently haven’t learned from your friends. Or you have learned well and just want to die.” Shiradaz backs up and blasts them.

Thanks to terrain, I may or may not be able to 5-foot step back because of the terrain, so either I 5-ft step or spend a move action moving back and provoke. Then I cast intensified burning hands.

Intensified Burning Hands (DC 17 Reflex): 7d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1) = 15

Also note guys – after combat if there are multiple people injured I can channel – I don’t like spending them in combat since I don’t have selective.

Shiradaz runs over to the orange goblin, waving his arms wildly. "Hey you little festering creature! You throw fire well, but can you catch it?" He then shoots off a fire bolt at the orange goblin.

Fire Bolt Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Fire Bolt Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Okay, those goblins hurt more than I thought they were going to. Plan worked though!"

Shiradaz reaches for his wand, only to find that Diri has already healed him while he was speaking. "Ah, thanks for that!" he calls out back to her while looking around for other threats.

Once he spots the goblins, he takes off in their direction. "More targets to feel Feronia's blessing!" Double move

Yes, sorry. Fire Bolt is a 30ft. RTA – it’s the 1st level domain power of the Fire domain.

Shiradaz braced for the impact – after all, he knew they would rush the source of fire quickly. These are goblins after all. He wasn’t expecting that many of them to hit him though, but he also was expecting them to hurt quite a bit more than that. “Well, if the goblins only want to plink me to death, then no reason to deviate from the plan. I see three that are nicely bunched up.”

“My apologizes for mistaking your name Total A$#+!$~. However the fire doesn’t come from inside me, but as a gift from Feronia herself! Perhaps you would like a demonstration!”

Shiradaz moves three squares to the right. This provokes from Yellow and Orange (although Orange has a bow out currently). Then he will cast an intensified burning hands down and to the left, which should catch Yellow, Orange and Pink. This provokes again from Orange if he is capable of taking opportunity attacks with a bow out and has Combat Reflexes.

Intensified Burning Hands (DC 17 Reflex): 7d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 4) = 20

Okay, I'm impressed at the sheer number of pictures you've found for this so far. It's like there's a new picture every other day or so. (Even before the scenario "started".)

"I believe that it was this precise thing that we were to watch out for. Ugh. Stupid goblins."

Shiradaz stands up, draws his bastard sword and jumps into the arena. 4 rounds should get me there.

"Hey you tiny a#%@#@~s - you wanna see how real people use fire?"

Shiradaz then unleashes a bolt of fire at the closest (yellow) one. 7/8 left

Fire Bolt Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Fire Bolt Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Given the mysterious man's description, I imagine Chavrion will tell us when he arrives. I'm sure it'll be obvious."

Shiradaz follows behind the rest of the group as well, looking for seats. His weapon may be stowed but his shield is out - not because of any potential trouble, but because his shield has an intricate carving of a bonfire underneath a field of open sky dotted with lots of stars. On the bottom of the picture, the word "FERONIA" is written in intricate script. Once the group has found their seats, he starts taking out a bottle and spreading liquid on the shield where the campfire is pictured.

When he hears Torvald call out, Shiradaz's head pokes up. "Mmmmm. Shrimp noodles."

"Well, I have absolutely no clue what that was about, but okay then. Guard is up." Shiradaz just shrugs his shoulders.

Shiradaz nods on hearing the mysterious stranger's request. "Well, that was overly dramatic for no reason whatsoever. Easy enough request."

"Keep an eye out - got it."

Shiradaz looks at Eadie with a bit of confusion, then his face lit up as he understood what Eadie said.

[b]"Ah, sorry. I'm not a Low Azlanti. My heritage comes from the Elemental Plane of Water itself. People tell me that I actually belong there, although I find this plane more enjoyable.

"And I agree! What's not to love? But when Falayna acts in this world through the power of fire, it's not just about destruction. Fire cleanses, fire illuminates, and fire gives birth to new life!"

"Excuse me, did someone say 'conflagration' and 'burning'?"

An undine walks up to the group gathered around the gnome. "Hello all, my name is Shiradaz Gaunt, preacher of Feronia,. Let the power of Feronia be upon you!" he adds while passing out wooden holy symbols of Feronia. Each of the symbols has a little note on the back that says "Cast spark here" with an arrow pointing towards one spot on the back of the symbols.

I have 4 channel positives at 4d6 each. I do not have selective channel however, so they're generally not good during combat.

I also prep my non-burning hands, non-fireball spells generally as condition removal with a smattering of non-fire damage. So I have some healing, but wouldn't be a primary healer. I honestly think we'll be fine.

I wasn't able to see Shiradaz's stats but it doesn't look like we have an abundance of melee so I'll dust off ol' Henry here and bring him along. It's been over a year since I've played him so I need to update his profile and look over him again but he should be good to go soon.

Oh hey, I should probably put that on my profile. That's done.

(And I'm a blaster caster, so not melee here.)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned ** spoiler omitted ** yet.

Hehe. I did that one. It was great fun! Perfect for a worshiper of Feronia like myself!
