Sureliah moves to Melaphisto to check if he is hurt, when she finds he isn't she sighs. You know, those of you who don't like disease should let Melaphisto try to get the rats attacking him. If he suffers any wounds I could always heal him and disease isn't an issue, if he dies from it I can always summon him again and he'll be fine... she looks to the group To be honest, Melaphisto would give his life a hundred times over if it came to protecting me... she says, smiling at her Eidolon, who only remains stoick as always.
Now that the two of them are in range(even if Sureliah could have fired her crossbow safely from 120ft) Sureliah loads her Crossbow and lifts it to shoot at her target again
Melaphisto lunges forward to attack the same rat that blitz is going for,
Soon... Soon I thought about doing that instead of tenticles, but tentacles felt more thematic... Next evolution is going into reach with his tentacles though. Then grab, then pull! Then I don't know, likely constrict.
°-° Sorry I haven't been able to post, work has been on my ass and I haven't had that much time to check the threads, so I've been limited to just a few posts in just a few games, sorry I haven't been able to talk you this until now, I do wish to continue with you all, but for now I might need botted.
Sureliah and her Eidolon stay close together, near the back if the group, although the pair seem like they would draw the attention of any onlookers, Sureliah is glad that the rogue Julio is keeping the Kobold distracted... She looks around the room, ready to strike anything at the first sign of danger, she quickly switches the plain bolt in her crossbow with one of those magic ones, still not mentioning her find to the others. Melaphisto saunters in front of her, although he looks back and realizes Sureliah is vulnerable behind with all her allies in front of her. He let's her pass, and she doesn't make any hassle as she knew everything he did he did to protect her.
Sureliah goes to the cage and examines it.
And if goblins held on to it it's not unthinkable to believe that those goblins are now all dead and the dragon out for revenge... But then again this is just guessing. she looks at the Kobold and snears. With all the traps around, how can we be sure this runt isn't leading us into another?
Sureliah takes a moment, trying to figure out what language that is.
She then waits... Looking at the creature, a little curious. Keeper of dragons? Are you to tell us one of them is around? she lowers her weapon and stands, becoming less threatening.
When offered the hand, the wize, but Dim Eidolon just looked down at it confused, making the moment awkward. When the door opens, Sureliah keeps behind her Eidolon. Melaphisto however stands behind Savien, waiting for something to do. Sureliah sighs, If everything takes this long for you, I can see why you have such an issue with how fast I'm going. she says, tapping her foot impatiently. I mean, it's not like every room has a spinning blade or undead legion lieing in wait.
Sureliah loads her Crossbow, and waves for Melaphisto to go ahead. The Eidolon turns to Savien and speeks to him. I apologise for my Master's attitude to you, and the rest. She is a beauty worth preserving, and knows it. This has... An unfortunate effect on her attitude the Eidolon says, his voice seemingly the one of reason when it comes to the beautiful elf.
Yes, I simply want to RP, I wasn't asking mostly because I expected someone else to bring it up in game. if no one did, I would assume you all where fine with me taking it. And as I stated, I won't claim anything that I don't think Sureliah needs, or would best fit in her possession. After all, if she finds a suit of full plate it's likely she'd just pass it over and not care, not even thinking of the gold that she could earn for that. The things she is most likely to claim are wands, scrolls, simple weapons, light armors, and if possible anything related to Summoning or Conjuration magic. Anything else I'm more than willing to let others claim before she goes and gets grabby. After all, even with the potions she handed them out without any fuss. She puts little value in actual value, and even if given the chance to take a large, gold guilded statue guaranteed to make her rich for the rest of her life she'd likely pass it over without a second thought. Her goal is hardly to get rich...
Okay, I'll make that note in the future. I'm not used to Playing any if my chaotic Character, DM for some reason tend to not like Chaotic alighnments... I'm sure for this reason. But honestly, who here than should have the Crossbow? Most other characters are proficient with bows, have ranged weapons, or are focused on melee. Akula is the only other character I can think of that may need the crossbow, but he has a bow... And sure sureliah has acid splash, but I find 1d4 damage severely underwhelming.
I would have asked, but Sureliah wouldn't, she'd see something, claim it as her own, and rigorously defend her claim. Same situation as with the potions, she doesn't trust any of you with distribution of loot. It's part of being chaotic. Not saying I'm gonna claim everything, but Sureliah has only a melee weapon and 10 Str, she isn't likely to do well in combat without her Eidolon to smash everything.
Sureliah notes the magical bolts, taking a moment to examine the aura around them
Melaphisto sighs, dropping the ragged clothes. My lady, the armor and weapons where held together by the same magic that held the skeletons... she nods. As is expected... I'll give you my armor some day, but for now we need to get you training for that... she leaves the room, letting others in.
Sureliah sees the Crossbow and moves to claim it, taking the crossbow itself.
Melaphisto, despite being dressed in the loincloth, still has most of his body bare, although whatever bothered the human with his featureless body was well last him. The Eidolon moves and rummages through the undead, picking off the armor they where using. After all, even though it was old, it was good enough to protect the corpses.
I just wanted to state this here as well... Melaphisto has slam and tentacles Because even though slam is a 1 point evolution and his base form has claws, his subtype automatically gives him slam, which replaces claws. If it doesn't then Melaphisto should also have claws, but I felt that having three different attacks at lvl 1 wasn't really the intention of Paizo...
This is where it states the base evolutions for the form
Well, it is best to assume those who choose not to take 10 rolled a Nat 1, and then if somehow their bonus is so big it still beats whatever DC there is then it is Either an obvious thing, or they are very skilled. Meaning most players can beat a DC 5 to see or hear something, otherwise you have to specify your taking 10 on a check. For PBP, it's different. Because you can't always specify it's actually better when possible if players take 10. First it doesn't require you to ask every time someone needs to roll one, and let's you choose what checks would better fit if someone actually rolled I do this as a DM, When ever my players need a check to detect something I assume they rolled 10. Specifically this applies to invisible creatures or stealthed enemies. Meaning only one dice needs to be rolled.
Otherwise any time a player tolls to find something when nothing is around (I've had this many times) then I just describe everything in greater detail. That's how I do perception, and taking 10.it helps with my games and I find it better than just saying "I take 10 to look around the room for anything hidden or enemies that are hidden" I just assume any time they enter the room whomever is scouting takes 10 unless they specify. Although for me taking 10 can't discover anything specific(such as traps or doors) unless they state they are specifically taking 10 to find it.
Sureliah pushes past Vak and Melaphisto follows, apologising to the Half-orc as he went. When Sureliah sees the armored skeleton, she waves at them, and her Eidolon advances, swinging an arm to smash them before anything moves.
Careful! she says, For all we know, these things are waiting here for someone to enter! she says, paranoid.
Melaphisto stands behind Vak, politely waiting for the orc to move, which is odd considering Sureliah looking quite the opposite. Could you get going? If we stay in one place too long it gives advance for our enemies to prepare for an ambush. Sureliah crosses her arms and Melaphisto nods in agreement.
Erk, yeah I understand that Cha doesn't officially effect appearance, but appearance is one of the contributing factors. Cha actually embodies your ability to interact Socially or rather is a reflection of the strength of one's Personality. People with lower Cha are socially inept, have a harder time getting people to like them, and more often than not come off with a negative aura surrounding them. Making them seem like either arogant a**holes or Jerks without them ever even opening their mouth And honestly, to an elf your quite ugly...
Melaphisto nods to Julio's greeting, You as well, Fine sir... he says. Sureliah sighs at the remark about clothes. He is as he is, he does not come with a shirt, so unless your willing to offer your own clothes I'm afraid you'll just have to deal with his nudity she remarks. When Melaphisto is offered food he takes it, but hands it to Sureliah wordlessly. He gains sustenance on his own, no need to share food... she says kindly to the half orc. By the gods I swear you and Julio are taking his appearance quite well.. she says, But in battle he will take my place until I am healed, in which case I will stand by his side.
I'm sorry, I just followed what I thought such a check would result in. I described how he might have seen my Eidolon, of course for all I know beating the DC by 3 means to him my Eidolon is plain as day, but for reference I wanted to give him some information other than him just beating the DC and detecting my Eidolon In the future I will make sure limit any such similar description and leave it up to the DM to interpret however he wishes
In the morning Sureliah goes to call her Eidolon back again, this time she doesn't leave camp, The ritual, taking most of a minute consisted mostly of her silently chanting under her breath as she slowly drew a summoning circle in the dirt. When she finished drawing the circle it glowed brightly, opening up into the realm that her Eidolon resides, sliding slowly from the circle it came, not clawing nor climbing, just appearing, as iff the circle was simply moving to reveal it. The Eidolon stood as tall as the elf, with skin white as paper and as smooth as worked clay, overall it appeared as a clay doll, with grotesque features. It's skin looked like it was solid, and there was no bone or Mussle below, as if that was it's whole being. It was mostly humanoid worth digigrade feet, three long digit on each foot, as well as on it's hands. It's arms where inproportionate, with large hands and forearms but thin upper arms, it's neck was hidden in a tangles of sickly tenticles hanging from it's head and face it's head was perfectly smooth save for the tentacles hanging from it's face and the two pure black eyes. It bows as it finishes appearing. My lady... As beautiful as ever... it says to Sureliah, who smiles and bows back. Only as the beholder sees it is her response. She then turns to those who bothered to watch and introduces her Eidolon. This is Melaphisto, he is my Eidolon spirit. Do not attack him... she says, as of expecting that to happen despite her requests.
Sureliah looks over to Akula, Akula likely doesn't see much, just the slight shape of something moving behind some brush. No worries, says Sureliah. It Shou just be my Eidolon. I told him to keep hidden so that if we are ambushed again he could catch them back... she says this dismissively, trying to to brush off the Orc's suspicion. In the woods the Eidolon remains quiet, hiding in some brush, and acomolshing it quite well, despite it's strange appearance. Sureliah pulls a headband from her bag and ties it over the glowing rune on her head, effectively hiding it. You'll be able to tell, if it has the same symbol as the one on my forehead than it is mine. she says, Anyways, to keep it hidden I suggest you not mention it... I'll properly introduce it when we begin to move again...
I'm gonna take some time to summon my Eidolon, after all since I am at only 3HP o do believe it is best I have a Damage sponge to take some of the damage away from me... Esspecialy since I can heal him pretty easily. It's the best thing for me mechanically right now... I just don't know how to come over it with RP... So super awkward
Sureliah groans, her body bruised, Ah, I find it Strangly Ironic that I, who didn't even fight, happen to be the one in the most pain... She makes her way up, and moves over to the others. I think this is a good time to introduce Melaphisto... she says, You see, I'm a Summoner, and I have an Eidolon... But he isn't the most... Ah, appealing thing... she leans a little to the side, favoring her left foot. Now all I ask is that you do not attack him when I'm done Summoning. Honestly I figured you would if I had just shown him to you earlier. She moves to the side a little, I'm gonna take a minute to Summon my Eidolon, I'll be right back... she then steps into the woods.
