Tamerius Nalmois's page

Tamerius stands next to Flyn, weapon ready.

His raven, flying invisible several feet behind him.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Tamerius follows, his red raven following.

Yes, forgot it was that long.

Not exactly. Once we arrived, or just before getting out of the Shadow Plane.

I will be an honor to assist you in your hunt O Mighty One. As my friend says, the Mantis is not our friend.

I fear that our disguise will not stays all the hunt, I think that it's better to let go of the ruse before going hunting like you suggest Quenly.

Mighty One, Keeper of the Ancient Wilds,
We stand in awe beneath your watchful gaze. This land is yours—its roots, its skies, and every breath drawn within it hums with your eternal power.

If we have disturbed the peace of your dominion, we beg forgiveness. Let our presence be but a ripple in the vast sea of your eternity.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43

My condolences to you and your family.
Take the time you need.

Tamerius moves to be seen, hands in view.

I will do my best but I don't speak draconic. If this is the only language they know, our disguise will be more difficult to use.

Responds Tamerius.

Yes, I was going to suggest that. says Tamerius.

Turning to Flyn he asks Which type of tracks to you see here? What can we expect as potential allies or foes?

Then he sends his Raven to explore the place invisible.

Having loyal friends is no reason to be sorry for. If he was rude, he has reasons to. and if we had to kill every rude person we meet, Pharasma will have a lot more job to do!

Says Tamerius before adding in direction of Fynn.

Yes, he could help us look like saurian people.

To Quenly he answers telepathically.
In this case, lets make sure we left no witnesses behind us and that no corpse is left so they could be raised or speak. It will make our pursuer less aware of what was our objective here.
I can incinerate the place with a fireball

Seems like looking as a Saurian gives you the opportunity to talk to this one. We can try to diplomatic way. says Tamerius.

Tamerius waits to see if his comrades are able to take care of the two mantis assassin.

I will be on vacation until Sunday with only my phone to access the internet.
Please bot me if necessary.

Tamerius was waiting to see if his comrade have a solution to take the Master alive, but Flyn seems to have preferred to kill someone rather than taking them alive.

Tamerius shrugs Paladin are not what they were before…

Nevertheless, two other Mantis were there, and still alive, so it was time to take them down.

He concentrates and quickly calls an infernal ally. Summon Monster VI - Erinye

Then points at the two mantis assassin Kill them.

I will have been easier to have him alive as it seems that we already have everything that was needed to give back Strake’s memory… just we don’t know what we need and in which order.

Remember, you need them alive. says Tamerius through Quenly's dragon.

His weapon in hands, he follows, Kahl'Heel on his shoulder.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Lets find the Master. says Tamerius.

I can use my Firebolts too!

Tamerius calls for the fire of Hell to punish the Red Mantis trying to stop them.

Sorry for my unexpected absence this last few days.
My last weekend hasn't happened as I expected and then work hit hard as well as Real Life with my two little boys.

I'm back now.

Tamerius uses his wand on Thaddeus then on himself after Quenly casts his spells but before he casts silence.

Stealth: 1d20 - 3 + 20 ⇒ (12) - 3 + 20 = 29

Tamerius has a wand of invisibility so he will use it on himself and on Thadd if he wants it.

It seems that this magical symbol appears only when close. May be if we are able to magically teleport inside, it will not?
Did some of you have that type of magic?

Asks Tamerius

We can, but we will certainly marked. Maybe we can study first the mark and decides after.

Tamerius turns to Flyn.

I think you're the best to lead us quickly and stealthily to the Pagoda.
My Raven will help us avoiding the most crowded routes by flying 40ft. above us invisible.

Survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

After his long prayer, Tamerius stays silent and eyes close for a short time that appears like an eternity.

When he opens his eyes he says.

So we don't need the creature to be alive for giving back his memories to Strake, also, it seems that we already have all the spells necessary to restore it, but I don't know which ones we need and in which orders we need to apply them.
Also, we are not, yet, watched by the Red Mantis.

After a pause he adds

I suggest that we still give a visit to the Master of the Pagoda, disguised in mosquito. My raven will provide us air support and if necessary some illusion to cover our action.

Lets resume with questions 3.

Before going, let me ask some question. I will not be able to do it again for some time, so I hope it will be worth it. I will need 10mn of concentration and prayer to establish a link to Hell.

Tamerius sats down as his raven flies on his shoulder. He takes the red raven in his hands and starts concentrating, chanting and praying his god for the knowledge he seeks.

O Asmodeus, Lord of the Infernal Realms,
Master of Flames and Keeper of Secrets,
I call upon your dark power and wisdom.

O mighty Asmodeus, ruler of Hell,
Hear my plea and bestow your infernal blessings,
As I honor your name and your eternal reign.

Questions in the discussion.

3. What spells do we need in case we kill the Master to get back Strake memories
4. Is there a chance that we can negotiate, one way or another, with the Master for Strake Memories
5. How can we avoid or reduce the ire of the Red Mantis once we've deal with the Master
6. Are we watched by the Red Mantis?

Ok, lets ask the questions in order :

1. Does the Master of the Pagoda need to be alive for Strake to regain his memories?

2.
If 1 is No: Will killing the Master of the Pagoda restore Strake's memories?
if 1 is Yes: Has the Master of the Pagoda transferred Strake's memories to a creature other than itself?

We can wait for someone to enter?

Rather than going straight to the Red Pagoda, may be we need a plan A and a plan B to give back Strake his memories? I suggest that once my Raven has find the Red Pagoda, I will use him as a vessel to ask my god questions.
If we need to creature alive is not the same as dead.

We have many ressources to help you and Strake. It's not a setback that will stop us. You have experience. You know that when plan A is not working, you have already a plan B in motion. It's the case. We are powerful spellcasters and if not today, tomorrow we will have everything needed to save Strake. We are men of Faith, I'm sure you are too, so have faith.

Diplomacy (aid): 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26

Only once per day.

If you see the invisible and are able to detect magic, you will be able to catch the sensor of a scrying spell. shares Tamerius.

I could ask up to 6 questions to my god through Kahl'Heel if necessary.

Says Tamerius.

Tamers follows and commands his Raven to come with him.

Tamerius moves closer to Doane.

Seems like you're like me, the protector of your friend. May be sometime it's better to listen to your inside voice. It could prevent bad things happening to our ward or even make things better...
Who knows what's happening under the vigilant watch of the Red.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (14) + 24 = 38
Bluff (to pass a hidden message): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Then he moves away.

Destroying the creature, does it restore the memory to the targeted people? Or do we need it alive?

Ask mentally Tamerius.

Tamerius mentally commands his raven to watch Luna the Wild more closely..

To his comrades he says through their telepathic bond Luna the Wild seems to have taken an interest in us. Be careful .

Tamerius looks around with a new eye the people around them.
Trying to find someone looking not towards their host but to the people getting close to him.

I’m sure someone is watching.

He calls mentally his raven and starts looking around.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31

d20: 1d20 ⇒ 18

I'm always up for the challenge!
But will go with normal if that's some people want :)

@noral IRL first! Hope everything is ok, take care of yourself and your loved ones!

Tamerius looks around, trying to play the role of a bodyguard as best as possible.
He kepts his mouth shut, letting Quenly, aka "Master Jacinth" do the talking.

Nevertheless, he scans the room to better understand the game in play between the people in the room.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30

I can send my Raven to look around if necessary. They will not be limited by Dave's help.

Proposes Tamerius "Trey" to his comrades.

I let you do the talking.

Tamerius prefers to look like a bodyguard as having an heavy armor is usually more difficult to hide.

The contract between Tamerius and the Devil is:
Use his power to pass for a standard human.
Use his power to transform us with Veil in standard human mercenaries/adventurers from different origins.
Use his power to Protect the place we gather with Screen.
The creature is free to act as please as long as his schemes doesn't interfer with our mission: finding Eylysia, avoid conflict with the Red Mantis, keep a low profile.
THe creature other abilities are not needed for this mission and are not part of the present contract.

Tamerius came back with a mangwi man in his early thirties. The man looks like a experienced fisherman with practical clothes typical of the islands.

We are ready.

In the invocation chambers below Skyreach, Tamerius starts his call to his Lord and Master, Asmodeus, god of Hell, Master of Contract.

From one corner of the room, the raven watch, a smile, if even it was possible for a bird, on his face.

Oh Lord of Hell, Answer the prayers of your follower! I'm in need of one of your most powerful servant for my mission. A creature capable of subterfuge and discretion, rather wanton destruction. A servant that will enable us to bypass scrutiny and transform us into mundane adventurers. Send it to me, and I will make good use in your unholy name Oh Asmodeus, Lord of Hell, Master of Contracts!

As his prayers are done, the invocation circle starts to take a reddish glow and the form of a medium creature appears.

In a voice as powerful as feeble and as convincing as suave the creature says I've answered your call mortal, what is the Price of my Services...

If you were able to kill a Devil, then, it was not strong enough. says Tamerius. For my induction in the Order of the Gate I had to kill one.

He looks to his comrades that have a good aura around them, Thaddeus, Flyn and Quenly and says.

If nobody object about calling Hell for help, I will go to the summoning chambers and call a Devil.

waiting to their formal agreement.

I played in heromod this one at PaizoCon. Our group was able to meet before game and was quite well prepared! My wife's rogue killed numerous enemies with her sneak attacks, thank part to my numerous summons to give her flank, and Death "died" by my character's hand.

When I GM it, I've almost done a TPK (or do, I don't remember exactly) I was more prepared than my players.

@Quenly i was thinking about an Apostate Devil which with 18HD I could call to provide us veil and screen

Tamerius has emergency healing (heal and breath of life) but that’s it.
I have some funds to call a devil at our service or to buys some needed equipment
