so tavrus is still down? just wondering, its fine with me and there are no hard feelings. i will roll a suitable new character if so. i did view it to be a bit of fudging to avoid PC death, which i dont like, but i kept it to myself since i figured it was in the realm of possibility that it was planned.
Honestly, had I played Tavrus to form, he would have run about two rounds ago.
Fly, you fools!
yeah. i feel like i am underoptimized, but i also dont feel bad about it because like you said, i should have realized. and yeah, regarding my spells, i did pick them with an eye for utility rather than combat.
Tavrus will go to F46, channel and exclude Tomlin, Ian and the Guard-cleric to the south.
alrighty, that suggestion certainly helped. it is hard for me to work things tactically with the map (maybe its my version of browser or something working weird with the picture site) I'll follow your suggestion though
unless i am missing something, Tavrus's options for helping out in this combat begin and end with standing in the street taking potshots with a crossbow before he is killed. Too many people around to channel, plus bad guys are on the roof which tavrus has no feasible way of getting to unless i am forgetting a ladder.
the damage wont beat out his resist, but hopefully the burning will end?
Yeah i kinda save channels for healing but I thought about using it. Seemed a waste for one target.
yeah, seeing how ineffective i am in this fight has been a wake-up call. going to have to get a little more done with Animate Dead.
Well, I cant fly. Going for a bit of a ropeadope here. either he expends his spells and leaves, or (more likely) comes to ground level to bring the fight to me.
vs DC 11 Tavrus casts Resist Energy: Fire "Bash that door down!" Tavrus commands of Edric.
Tavrus has a move action remaining, and which way he goes is contingent upon whether Edric succeeds in breaking down a door.
Tavrus moves 10ft north and holds a standard action to shoot any enemy that comes in view, to include the flying guy if he flies over the roof's edge.
No, the weird markings are just denoting domain spells. i just remember which ones i have cast, which is easy because i cast so few.
Tavrus backs up (up on the map) 5 ft and looks around for enemies. and readies an action to fire at any he should see when they appear. Edric will move out of the cloud and up adjacent to Tavrus.
who is that red-haired person? can Tavrus see them?
Can Tavrus see that red headed character and if so does he know it to be the enemy? As a player I am kinda confused.
I'm confused as to whether I'm in the cloud or not
Im on mobile, cant see map, and im about to travel to KC so if someone could bot me thatd be great. I'd have edric go melee something, and id probably shoot my crossbow unless I had a good spell tactically (ghoul touch to paralyze, etc.) And channel if a lot of bad guys are around. I took some channeling feats and I channel negative.
"a secret passage, perhaps?"
"Ah, well. Maybe they got off somewhere else. If you see me around, let me know if you see anything else." Tavrus says, handing him three more coppers and making a mental note to use this as his default disguise in this area.
"Oh, i dunno. a slippery fish. Sort that could look like a lot of people, methinks. Running from someone, not sure who."
The disguised Tavrus pulls out three copper coins, drops them in the hands of one of the beggars, and asks, "'ey, you lot seen anyone look like they're runnin' from somethin' tonight?"
In response to Tomlin's advice, Tavrus thinks for a moment before using his hat to change his appearance. His hair becomes oily, long and brown, and he sprouts a three-day-old beard. He leaves his armor and weapons the same (better to keep the disquise from getting busted), andhe adds a scar to his face and makes his wrinkles less pronounced. he finishes up by changing the color of his eyes and clothes, adding a stain or three to the latter.
Tavrus nods as the fragment of the spirit departs, and heads out of the room. Giving a silent nod to the bereaved woman, he departs with Ian to meet the others. When he sees Brother Tomlin, he gives a report of his questioning and findings.
"Tell me all the unusual things that occurred in the three days before your death."
"Why were you killed?"
Tavrus prepares the spell, now free of distractions. He casts the spell on the maid's corpse, careful not to disturb her remains. "Who killed you?" he asks of the corpse's spirit.
I'll get up a decent post tonight, ran out of time on my way to work
"I will do my best. This is but one of many misdeeds we suspect them of performing. More to the task at hand, you must understand that I will use magic to get my answers. This can be disturbing to those not accustomed to such, but I would not prevent you from being present if you were truly determined to be so. Shall I begin? I will close the door behind me to provide some peace and quiet for the ritual. Ian, would you be so kind as to guard the door? Up to you as far as being inside or outside. And madam? Inside or outside for you?" Once placement of the older woman and Ian is determined, Tavrus will usher the men out of the deceased's chamber and begin.
Tavrus takes a moment to observe the place, and posts Edric across the street and up the way a bit. "Even disguised, his silence tends to unnerve people, best to leave him here." Tavrus says to Ian. He uses his magical hat to shift his visage into that of a priest, looking for a generic, non-denominational look: a simple cassock with a few unremarkable chains dangling about his neck and waist to represent the burden of priesthood. Then, taking a moment to shed thoughts of all that had transpired in the previous few days, Tavrus relaxed. Can't be bringing tension from work into a wake... he thought to himself. Walking up to to the home, he enters and casts his gaze about for the "main" mourner. There's always one... being attended to, the living center of attention and condolences. Seeing the man/woman, he approaches to provide his request, couched in sympathies. "May Pharasma be with the dearly departed, her judgement merciful and her succor with those surviving the maiden taken from us all too soon. I ask your forgiveness, for I enter your place of mourning with business to attend to. I am with the Tower, and I am conducting an investigation into an incident. I believe your loved one was a witness, and that cost her her life. I am looking for the ones who cut her life short, and I ask that you allow me to use magic to question her. I promise that her remains will not be harmed."
"I'll go check on the maid's body. The family almost certainly won't allow me to take it, fortunately I don't need to. I'll perform a ritual to speak with the remains of her spirit, and the hastily return." Tavrus looks briefly to Ian, to see if he was going to offer to follow, and to Tomlin, as Tomlin was, for all intents and purposes, the leader of their little group.
"Sounds just fine to me."
Tavrus stands to the side, listening but not really tracking the intrigue. Preoccupied, he wonders, What is going on in Issust?
vs DC 10
Tavrus delivers the results of the dead interrogation to Tomlin, and sees if their erstwhile leader has any idea of how long before they must head out again.
"Where did you get your powers?"
"Do you know Hezek?"
