Siiska's page

As Galadhan kills the monster, Siiska breaks out of the hold monster and flies to tie the two ends of the cut rope together.

Siiska begins to freeze...

Will DC 23, Devotion: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 4 = 18

Hateful Aura 10 ft. radius in effect; causes 3 pts. of dmg to anyone attacking the spiritualist or the phantom.

≈=============

On her turn she tries to break out!

Will DC 23, Devotion: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 4 = 19

Siiska takes a swipe at the monster as the drider squeezes past her to escape higher into the shaft!

Slam, GMF, H, IC, Haste vs. Drider, height advantage: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 30

plus chill touch; 1d6 ⇒ 2 points of damage + creature also takes 1 point of Strength damage unless it makes a successful DC 14 Fort save

She suddenly feels a new infusion of power from her brother's magic, and jets higher into the shaft in pursuit of the monster!

Slam, GMF, H, IC, Haste vs. Drider: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 19
magic bludgeoning dmg, GMF, IC: 1d10 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 16
plus touch of gracelessness; 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 points of DEX dmg + if the subject moves more than half its speed, it falls prone; if the subject flies, its maneuverability is reduced by one step (perfect maneuverability becomes good, good becomes average, and so on). A successful DC 14 Fortitude save halves the penalty to Dexterity and negates the possibility of falling prone or the reduction to fly maneuverabilities.

Hateful Aura 10 ft. radius in effect; causes 3 pts. of dmg to anyone attacking the spiritualist or the phantom.

Now that the monster has come down, Siiska 5-ft flies over the drider and continues her assault from above, delivering Akku's newly shared spell!

Siiska steps forward, smiling in anticipation for a fight. "Step AWAY from the bookshelves, you freaks!" she adds, tapping her umbrella handle in her left hand for effect...

Siiska continues to fake an injury, shuffling 5-ft back...

"BOOOHOOO-HOOOO-HOOOO... don't eat me PLEAAAAAASE!!!"

Bluff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Only this time, she gets ready to smack one of them if they come into reach...

Hateful Aura 10 ft. radius in effect; causes 3 pts. of dmg to anyone attacking the spiritualist or the phantom.

Siiska nods and smiles, enacting the plan they had talked about, and pretends to fall on the ground, skinning her knee.

"OUCHIE! ...WAAAAAAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAA! *sniff, sniff* ....WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Bluff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Move; falls prone as a free action; pretend as a standard action

Siiska seems initially offended, but then begin to smile evilly. "ONLY if you promise that I'll hit them. I'll only be the bait if I can HIT THEM! OK???!?!!??!"

The air shimmers for several moments, and half-seen glimpses of a small girl blink in and out of view, accompanied by half-spoken words and ghostly growls of frustration. After approximately one minute, she appears fully, declaring "....cking place is this?! HA! I made it! YESSSSSS! FINALLY! A-BOUT-TIME!!! Try to focus more next time, BROTHER!!! the journey here hurts like Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhell! what? who this chick? what's her deal? should I umbrella-smack her up the head, hey?"

Siiska follows, like the silent shadow of a slow-moving cloud... she appears more translucent and less present than before, somehow... phasing in and out of hiding as she passes through physical objects... she is utterly silent, her only means of communication being telepathy with Akku and an angry frown with anyone else.

Siiska is now incorporeal; an incorporeal creature moves silently and cannot be heard with Perception checks if it doesn’t wish to be. It has no Strength score, so its Dexterity modifier applies to its melee attacks, ranged attacks, and CMB. Nonvisual senses, such as scent and blindsight, are either ineffective or only partly effective with regard to incorporeal creatures. Incorporeal creatures have an innate sense of direction and can move at full speed even when they cannot see.

AC 26, touch 22 (26 vs. incorporeal), flat-footed 23; takes half damage (50%) from magic weapons, spells, spell-like effects, and supernatural effects; takes full damage from other incorporeal creatures and effects, as well as all force effects; she can no longer attack for damage, but she can still deliver spells by touch.

Siiska shoots an angry stare at Akku, apparently not overly happy of being the subject of any conversation, especially when being a part of her big brother's appalling introduction.

"Yes! someone either went invisible or teleported away from there! I'm not sure which, okayyyyyyy?!?" replies Siiska, the picture of an angry child...

...and she happily glides south to look for a secret door in the other room.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

{TELEPATHICALLY} ***There was some fool... fumbling with a wand over there... he disappeared... I'm coming back...***

After 1 round of bonded sense, Siiska phase lurches back towards the party

Siiska begins to laugh, and simply walks through the sealed door. Her thin, short frame remains outlined on the sealed door with a thin coat of silvery mucus after she passes through.

Siiska also attacks.

Chill touches remaining: 4/8 (if both attacks were successful)

"Let's dance horse face!" announces the girl defiantly. She follows her older brother, shared hatred for the apparent undead foe plain on her face. She takes position north of the alcove and nods grimly to her brother.

Double move, north of spirit alcove (cover); see map

Note to the party: since your weapons are now ghost touch, you can now apply critical hits and precision-based damage on incorporeal foes.

Chill touches remaining: 6/8

Move and attack; delivering touch spell if attack is successful. Siiska has 'DR 5/magic and slashing'

Chill touches remaining: 6/8 (if attack was successful)

No worries! I still forget about this every time I GM a game... the only reason I'm not forgetting about it now is that Siiska has DR when in ectoplasmic form, so it's pretty central to her abilities and 'reckless' RP behavior... PS: there's still a risk here, as you could roll a 6 on the infestation!!

@GM: 2 dmg does not punch through her DR 5/slashing and magic, as far as I know, therefore the poison does not enter her system, as per linked damage reduction and swarm rules. Let me know if this assumption is wrong though i.e. if there's something else in the monster's stats that goes beyond this.

In the shadows, Siiska smiles as the tiny spiders climb all over her and further obscure her presence from the giant spider...

Siiska takes off to the north into the other cave, then veers back to the south, phasing right through the cave wall and appearing creepily and quietly behind the monstrous spider, lining up an umbrella smack carefully...

Double move; movement through the cave walls is at 1/2 speed via Phase Lurching ability (squares shown in pale blue on the map); Kal Drak now has a flanking position.

Stealth, Guidance: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 14 + 1 = 33

"Now what?! after shadow worms, DEAD SPIDERS?!?!!!" yells Siiska, her anger rising, as she wields her blue-glowing umbrella defensively before her.

Move and Total Defense

Chill touches remaining: 7/8 -- AC 32, touch 20, flat-footed 23

"Take that, worm!!" says Siiska, advancing on the nearest monster with her now blue-glowing umbrella!

Move and attack; delivering touch spell if attack is successful. Siiska has 'DR 5/magic and slashing' so I don't *think* she needs to bother with the bristles, but let me know if I need to roll these saves anyway.

Chill touches remaining: 7/8

Siiska twirls her umbrella menacingly, saying "Don't you dare take another step towards my brother, WORMS!!"

Full-round action - using Dazzling Display to demoralize all foes within 30 feet who can see the display; Intimidate: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

However, the threats of this little girl, no matter how fierce, appear to fall short before the advancing monstrosities...

Inside Siiska, a sea of emotions crash into her soul, tossing it about like a ship in a storm...

frustration... increasing... hatred... rising...

"Let's dance shady bastards!!! come kiss my umbrella!!! AAAAAAAARGGG!!!" bellows the feisty girl defiantly with nasty words that do not feel at home coming from such a young mouth. She follows her older brother, shared hatred for the undead shadows plain on her face. Remaining close to him, she expertly twirls her parasol into some kind of deadly weapon!

slam + ghost touch, greater magic fang: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19
magic dmg + ghost touch, greater magic fang: 1d6 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 = 14

Move and attack; remaining within 5 ft of Akku (can't move the pawns on the slide as I believe they are in 'read only' mode)

Note to the party: since your weapons are now ghost touch, you can now apply critical hits and precision-based damage on these shadows.

Siiska nods to Akku, and draws a black umbrella from a pocket dimension. She wraps her hands tightly around the folded canopy, in effect using it as the an improvised weapon handle and trying a few practice swings with it, swinging the oaken blunt crook handle around menacingly like the head of a mace.

"This'll do..." she says, smiling. Noticing the others, she adds, "...and I'll tell you all up front: NO ONE, ever, tells me, to CALM DOWN!! got it?!

"Hello everyone... looks like you're all clueless beginners... YOU! AKKU! cast that force armor spell on me... I'll take point... what are you waiting for? LET'S GO!!! yells the newly arrived angry young woman at Akku. She appears to be in her teenage years at most, and not afraid to boss the much older-looking Akku around...

Over the last days of the journey, the group notices the boy experiencing a growth spur, fully coming into his own as young man. After a rare, long moment of mental silence, during a rest stop, the voice comes back, but it is now calm. Akku senses that there is a certain... straining... required for the voice to be in this composed state.

"If you would follow me...", the young girl says, now smiling and dressed in white. She opens a door in Akku's mind-darkness, and continues, "...I can show you how to get me out of your stubborn skull..."

She smiles. Inside the door is the interior of a cozy farmhouse. An adult young woman is sitting in a wooden rocking chair, singing a soft lullaby...

Inside Akku's head...

NOW WHO ARE YOU CALLING CRAZY?! GGRRRRR! Oh, look around that trail bend, there could be goblins, or wolves or bears or something... and over there too! Huh... would you look at that? and that? and that? *YAWN!!* THIS IS BORING!! maybe... I'll let you into the driver seat for a while...

Shared Consciousness ability when the Phantom is within Akku's consciousness: it grants Aku the Skill Focus feats with Perception and Acrobatics; it also grants a +4 bonus on saving throws against all mind-affecting effects and once per day, when the spiritualist fails a saving throw against a mind-affecting effect, as an immediate action she can shunt that effect into the phantom’s section of her consciousness instead.

After several moments of mental silence, the girl comes back, but she is now calm. Akku senses that there is a certain... straining... required for the voice to be in this composed state.

"If you would follow me...", the girl says, now smiling and dressed in white. She opens a door in Akku's mind-darkness, and continues, "...I can show you how to get me out of your stubborn skull..."

She smiles. Inside the door is the interior of a cozy farmhouse. An adult young woman is sitting in a wooden rocking chair, singing a soft lullaby to an infant...
