Syeira Mavashti's page

We'll miss you! :(

My work too, I understand.

Syeira gives her mystical glare to the nearest goblin, sending shivers down his spine and opening him up to attack.

Evil Eye Hex on the nearest Goblin to impact his AC. -2 penalty for 5 rounds, or 1 with a DC 15 Will Save.

Fight! Fight! Fight! >:)

Seeing an opening, Syeira rushes after Shalewen and Shadow, since her powers were best used at range like Shalewen's arrows.

Legging it to the cover where Shalewen is!

On my phone at the moment and having trouble seeing the map. Where should I seek cover? I can't wait until we reach the next level and I can finally go all Gambit with my Harrow Deck without risking its destruction.

Targeting the goblin's AC. Sorry I forgot!

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Oh dear! We will miss Mitsuko greatly. :(

I personally prefer staying here. I...kind of don't know how to use Roll20 outside of the map, and I've never even HEARD of discord.

Syeira gives another goblin her spooky stare!

Evil Eye on the goblin near Rokkad!

Syeira glares at the goblin with the crossbow, with a disapproving frown that could turn bones to jelly.

Evil Eye Hex on the Goblin with the crossbow to impact his attack bonus. -2 penalty for 5 rounds, or 1 with a DC 15 Will Save.

Syeira glares at the goblin with the firework and it feels a strong sense of dread.

"Don't you DARE throw that!" she says, her voice taking on an otherworldly echo.

Syeira uses her evil eye hex on the goblin with the Desnan Candle, granting it a -2 penalty to his attack rolls for 5 rounds unless it makes a DC 15 Will Save.

Syeira smiles back at Ikoma as he's filled with the strength of the Mountain Man once more!

A little bit of both! Here she is. Thank you! :D

Does that sound Varisian to everybody?

Could I make a weird request? I'd like to change Syeira's first name...I know the game's already started and I'd have to create a new alias profile, but...well, I just joined a Second Darkness game that has a cartomancer witch in it named Syeira, and I'd like to differentiate my character from them for the purposes of considering all the PbPs I'm in part of a shared Pathfinder universe...

Also, if you wanna have Goblin, in the Rise of the Runelords game I'm in, we use Czech.

Seeing Shadow attacking a goblin just in range of her pike, Syeira jabs at it, hoping together the two of them would take at least one of the greedy little nippers out of the fight.

Longspear Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Not used to fighting goblins (or anything, really) the spear head whiffs harmlessly over its head.

Mitsuko, you are AMAZINGLY organized! Thank you for making a confusing battle so much easier. :)

Seeing Ikoma tear off after the first goblin, Syeira lifts her spear and hustles after him, the head knocking against errant branches and leaves before catching up with him.

Double move should get me up with Ikoma, right?

I'd like to know that as well!

Syeira casts her eyes about.

"Open to tactical suggestions here!"

Meet my other role playing habit: running commentary on the battlefield to show I'm paying attention!

"Nice shot, Tree!" Syeira calls.

For such a solid, grounded being, he can really move like an avalanche!

Thanks! At the moment, I'm using Romanian for Varisian. Should we run into abominations I recommend Khmer for Aklo, and if we see ancient ruins, Tajik for Thassilonian...My friend and GM Dragoncat has done this in a lot of his games and I find it makes for an immersive game!

Thoughts on making a Language Matrix on the front page to show what language we're using as a "substitute" for a Golarion language?

"Prin fiecare Dumnezeu și mama lui! La naiba! La naiba! NAIBA !!!" Syeira curses as she picks up the pace to join the others.

Huh. I fully expected to get a low roll and alert the goblins to our presence by snapping a twig or something...

Syeira quietly advances until she's next to Mitsuko, following her lead.

Untrained Stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Syeira's more a phalanx fighter than my ACTUAL phalanx fighter!

Syeira follows after Ikoma, her pike fixed before her.

I'll just say this, Syeira may be smart, but tactics aren't her strong point.

Syeira puts her Harrow Deck back in the case and grabs her spear off her back.

"Any of the more tactically minded want to direct me?" she whispers.

"I'm not that good with this thing, but I don't really have any spells that work well for direct fighting?"

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Do we have a map for the fight?

So, good spell description or good spell description? ;)

Syeira mutters something as she riffles through her cards, displaying in order The Trumpet, The Survivor, The Desert, The Brass Dwarf, The Teamster, The Mountain Man, The Tangled Briar, The Sickness and The Waxworks. As she draws them, she tosses them into the air and, as if they have will and power in their very paper, swirl and flutter around their mistress, weaving a web of purple light that surrounds her before dissipating as the cards return to her hand.

"I'm ready. Dogslicers are insignificant next to the Harrow's power."

Syeira casts mage armor on herself.

I'm sorry if I was keeping people waiting. Chores take a while!

Syeira nods and smiles.

"Thank you Mitsuko. Sometimes I forget that the Harrow isn't an exact thing. Neither is the future. Thankfully I've got more than just the Harrow at my disposal!" she says with a chuckle.

Syeira blinks in surprise as they look up at the crag.

"The Devil's Platter, so named because our town's famous Devil dwells in a hole somewhere near the middle. Perhaps he's what The Trumpet warns of...The Sandpoint Devil IS a fearsomely powerful beast..."

She keeps her wits about her, looking to make sure something isn't sneaking up behind them.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

I hope I did the interpretation correctly. The dice rolling is tedious, but the creative work is the tricky part.

"The Big Sky speaks of momentous and powerful change for Sandpoint in the past, with the Owl overseeing how the weak fell so the rest could grow strong, as the natural order demands. The Hidden Truth is misaligned, revealing a dangerous secret that was revealed for the town. The Bear's raw, uncontrollable strength will serve us well, striking down the goblins with overwhelming force, but The Liar warns of obsession and a love that would tear the innocent apart. Tree's card, The Eclipse, speaks of becoming lost on the path and a loss of purpose. The Desert, truest of the true, shows us a great waste that none can cross alone, but seeking aid will allow us to cross and discover great things on the other side, but the Crows circle overhead, waiting to seize that which we love, and the Trumpet sounds doom, warning against throwing all-out power for a wicked cause."

She bites her lip as she considers what the cards have told her, looking to the others to draw their own conclusions from what she's told them now.

Holy CRAP Harrowing using dice rolls is complicated!

Shalewen's card shows a small, frightened child running among sinister jesters and capering figures on stilts.

"The Carnival, its cacophonous but delightful music singing of illusions and false dreams."

The Choosing finally complete, Syeira deals her array quickly.

Syeira shuffles up to Shalewen and holds out her spread of cards.

"I missed you at the Rusty Dragon, Shal. I need you to take a card for the Choosing so I can read the Harrow for us. Please?"

Shalewen, please roll 1d9! :)

Syeira marvels at Kokip's appearance, and as they travel, she badgers Shalewen to pick a card.

Syeira blinks in surprise at Rokkad's words.

"Oh, no, a good Harrower never peeks into her own future. Too much temptation to "cheat" by stacking the deck. It's bad luck, and the gods get really ticked when you start trying to do THEIR job for them."

Syeira blanches as Rokkad draws a card bearing a skeletal figure clad in broken, rusty armor, staggering forward with sword in hand.

"The Lost...it speaks of losing who you are, your identity gone."

She frowns as Ikoma flips his card to reveal a foul crone holding an eyeball in her mouth and raising one hand.

"The Mute Hag...she makes blood pacts and holds dark secrets."

As you and Rokkad both rolled 9, I've elected to have you draw the next nearest card, as we obviously can't have two people with the same card for the Choosing.

She nods in response to Mitsuko's question as she draws a card with the likeness of a calm halfling woman, holding a horned, smoking red baby by its leg in one hand. She breathes a sigh of relief.

"Ah, The Midwife. She ushers in new life."

Then she gasps again as Tree's card reveals a panicked man surrounded by skeletons beneath a red sky, the sun covered by the moon.

"The Eclipse, a harbinger of self-doubt."

She looks about, waiting for Shalewen to take her card.

I've adjusted Syeira's stats to your specifications, and I think she fits my initial vision for her spread better. Thanks GM! If the math's off, please let me know!

I needed SOMEONE to ask a question and wasn't sure how to ask someone to ask a question...thanks for providing an out!

At Mitsuko's words, Syeira shuffles the cards again and draws nine cards out, holding them out in a fan to the group.

"Please select a card for the Choosing."

Everyone please roll 1d10 and reroll if you get 10!

Sorry for keeping you waiting folks! My latest phone update wrecked Chrome for me, and Safari's garbage for writing long posts, so I had to wait until I got home to get going!
