Tellanya's page

arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Tellanya doesn't know what Baraket is, but even with her slightly broken mind, she does remember something, "this word, this - 'Baraket'" She puts her finger on her chin, "we heard it before. I think that Camellia will have had a good insight, yes?. Or we will hear of it after the past. Have any of you heard of it at all"?

She closes her eyes and focuses, "the spirits - we must be mindful of the past - and we must concentrate to gain understanding"

She opens her eyes, and they've changed color slightly, or at least the left one has, turning blue for a moment. She has grown grave, and speaks through clenched teeth "I believe that the spirits are guiding us. We need to find Baraket. It is important. Such a thing - the Order of Resplendance has taken it."

She closes her eyes, and the opens them again, the color having reverted. "Can someone remind me where we went to start looking?" She looks embarassed.

All the best, PDK.

Tellanya is now updated to level 4!

Tellanya watches, and raises her finger as if to ask a question, but then Sir Roderic disappears. "That was very interesting!"

knowledge (nature/local): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

She thinks for a moment, "I remembered that the feathers which Sir Roderick is thinking about are peacock feathers, and I pointed out to everyone that said feathers are quite popular with the Order of Resplendence."

Tellanya simply waits as the others speak with the ghost. She seems to be watching the interaction curiously.

Tellanya rests peacefully, seemingly oblivious to any negative dreams. When everyone is preparing to rest, she seems to focus, and tells a few stories of the Shoanti. If there is any indication that she has a tale to tell of the drow, it isn't apparent, but the tales of the Shoanti seem to be earnestly held creation myths and parables which describe how clever animals outwit oafish ones.

*********

When they approach the house, Tellanya is obviously very excited. As they had gotten ready, she peppered those who had met Roderick before with questions about how they interact with a ghost, what he's like, where he goes when he isn't manifested. When the answers aren't really forthcoming, she seems a little disappointed, but it's clear she's ready to ask the ghost herself when the time comes.

Tellanya looks at Audrahni blankly, ”hello, Audrahni, we met today, it was nice to meet you.” She extends her hand in a friendly manner, ”we found many things that the ghost will find pleasing but I am not supposed to know what the ghost said.” She cocks her head as if listening, ”at least I don’t think I was there.”

Tellanya hands it to Kiley, "If you can't get it open - we can take it with us."

Tellanya hums to herself, "nope! The spirits have not blessed me with such an ability." She runs her hands over it, inquiringly, and then moves her hands on the ground looking for a key of some sort, eyes closed.

I assume that if some key were available to be found, I would've already found it.

"The... nature of what we did with this is cloudy." She cocks her head, "it seems like we tried to pick the lock - but that was when Stryn was here... something... " She looks like she's listening with her eyes closed, and nods, "I do not know what we did with it."

Tellanya helps, but this time, knowing that the foe is dead, she searches thoroughly, asking the spirits for help to find anything of interest.

Take 20 on perception for 27!

I accidentally took Tellanya's turn early, that's how overeager I am.

knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Tellanya nods, "the spirits have guided me true - this is a phantom fungus. Ready yourselves to attack when it appears again!"

Tellanya focuses and steps back from where it was, and gestures, blessing everyone with her strange magic.

Cast bless on everyone. The spell will boost the attack of any readied attack, even one that is already rolled!

If anyone critically threatens any ally - including Tellanya - Tellanya activates "Curse of Faltering (-2 penalty, DC 13) (Su)" As an immediate action, when an enemy within 30 ft threatens crit, force reroll with Cha mod penalty (-2). A DC 13 Will save negates this.

Rolling for Esmaralda per discord, to aid someone at searching!

aid perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Tellanya nods, "it would seem that nothing is here - but why did someone put so many boards on the wall? There may be something hidden - I would spend a few minutes looking at least." On the way out, at least with Esmaralda, Tellanya seems to be speaking more 'in phase' with everyone else.

Tellanya is aiding someone else's perception!

perception, aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Tellanya smiles at Munkle and holds her arms out as if to embrace her

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

”Hi Munkle! I’m glad you … found your way out. Did you get the food I left for you? I have some more if you want.” She scrounges around and says gently, ”I believe… the spirits have said that you will go where you will, but they also said Stryn here might want to help you find your way, too. At least until you feel better. Which I believed was very soon. Would you like his help?”

Tellanya looks up when Munkle emerges, and waves cheerfully. "Hi Munkle," she says, "I thought you would have been out sooner - what happened?" She crosses her legs and tilts her head, looking at the goblin.

She then stands up, "when the others leave the room - I think it'll be time to investigate the locked door upstairs, that we passed. We will find something interesting in there, I'm sure." She nods, with certainty.

We have one more room to check, then we’re good to go to Roderick. I’ve just been waiting for the issue for Munkle to be resolved.

Edit: @Esmaralda, I have updated my sheet to show the number of points that I'll have. I expect to have maxxed out knowledge history, and possibly planes/religion.

Mine didn’t bother me much thankfully!

@Esmeralda we have another room to check out here, and then we’re done and can visit the ghost.

Tellanya smiles, and watches appreciatively, tapping her feet to the music as she sits, crouched in the corner, still waiting for the others.

Thanks for playing with us PDK, it was fun.

Yes, Tellanya was the first one in, and she's come out and explained what happened. Camellia went in after.

See here for your reference.

Tellanya just sits in the corner and hums quietly and tunelessly to herself. Her eyes are unfocused, as if she’s meditating or thinking about something else. The problem is that I don’t think we can do anything until the stuff in the room is resolved, due to the mechanics - Tellanya is, alas, unable to generate momentum on her own now!

Tellanya shakes her head, "no - though they also had a set of runes to use. They were frightened to use them again."

Tellanya shakes her head, "hello everyone - I am back. The runes teleported me in, and back. Kiley was chatting with a goblin that is stuck there, and was also afraid of the runes. Stryn, do you understand why? I will not understand goblin behavior when I was inside."

She sighs contentedly, "the poor goblin is hungry, but we can't feed her because there is a magical barrier. One of you will figure out how to get through the barrier, I'm sure!" She blinks, and smiles, and shakes her head, "I will drink some water!" She pulls out her canteen and takes a drink, allowing anyone else to take a trip through the runes if they want to.

! Runes! not tunes ;p

Tellanya says, ”oh Kiley, there are no ghosts at all here, just tunes that teleport a person! I am so curious about going in. I think I did already!” She moves, quickly and hops into the circle.

Tellanya just hops in, consequences be darned! Chaotic is chaotic! And as far as we know Stryn found no traps anywhere here.

I don’t mind, or anything, though you should hop onto discord if you want to chat about this stuff more fluidly.

I’m also trying desperately not to push people around and just be a supporting dude, but the GM indicated we needed a decision so I pulled the trigger.

We can have some RP time to chat about her fears, if you want, too!

Tellanya calls to Kiley, "come, Kiley, you liked this circle of runes, you told me that it was interesting." She thanks Stryn and looks around, "hmmm, runes - magical runes?"

Detect Magic!

knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Seemingly making a decision quickly, Tellanya claps her hands and moves towards the closest door, leading Stryn as she goes. ”come, Stryn, let us investigate more of this place, there is no danger - in the future we will have investigated everything!”

She moves towards the closed door just north of the vault room and asks the goblin to take a look for traps when he can.

Tellanya searches around for a few minutes while the others chat in this room.

Take 20 on perception for 27 if there's anything we missed.

After a few minutes she looks around, and says, "I believe we have forgotten that, yes, there are three doors to deal with. One contains the gearghost. One was barricaded, upstairs. One will be to the north." She points north, but as if remembering something, asks to borrow the party's wand, and moves to heal those who are injured.

clw wand cam?: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 15+4=19/29
clw wand cam?: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 19+9=28/29

clw wand kiley?: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 19+7=26/26

I gave you ooc answers in discord, if you'd like.

Tellanya points at the word written in Thassalonian, "that word said, 'Baraket' in the language of the ancients, if that helped anyone piece together knowledge."

knowledge (arcana), Aid another: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Tellanya aids someone who knows more about magic than her!

Tellanya wasn't paying attention to much, but when Esmaralda asks her a question, she blinks as if confused, and points at herself, "hmm? The gauntlets. We will find them, and we did." She points at the gauntlets. "We found them for Sir Roderic, who -" she concentrates, "is dead, yes, is dead, now but was - once alive." It seems to be taking her a lot of effort to keep things straight, and so she shakes he head as if clearing it, then tilts it, as if listening for something, and smiles kindly.

Tellanya breathes a sigh of relief, "yes, we needed to find them. They will assist us. They have assisted us, already." She blinks, and takes a closer look at the gauntlets. She compares the runes on the gauntlets, idly, to those on her ring, but looks up after a moment, and then stands aside, waiting.

After a moment, she nods at Henric, "what will be done has already come to pass."

Tellanya peers over Henric's shoulder, with barely restrained interest.

Tellanya looks again at the rune, over Henric's shoulder, focusing and concentrating, "Yes, you are right Henric, the right way is actually the wrong way." She puts her spear away, and steps over to him, "may I?" Almost without waiting for permission, somehow, Tellanya flips one of the tines to an incorrect position that definitely does not match the actual configuration of the sihedron. However, doing so causes an audible click.

She exhales, "yes, I was told I would do it correctly."

Most of Tellanya's attention has been on the door.

"Yes, Stryn has examined if for traps but we had to wait until he unlocked it." She points at the door, "we had to get inside because that's where we found the gauntlet."

knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
knowledge (history), aid another: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Tellanya is impatiently gesturing towards the door, but when the note and other documents are presented, along with Esmaralda’s theory, she adds ”well...” and then adds a little detail about Thassalon. something vaguely related to the topic at hand.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

She finally notices at Kiley’s tail, and nervous mein, and laughs. She focuses intently, ”Kiley why are you embarrassed? There is nothing to be ashamed of. At least your mother wasn’t a dark elven priestess. They’ll give any fiend a run for their money in terms of vicious evil.” She says this without a hint of maliciousness, and quite cheerfully.

If Tellanya seems phased by Kiley's monstrous form, it doesn't seem like it. She grows insistent, as she taps on the door. "This is the important thing we find - this is where we found the gauntlet." Her brow furrows - "it's hard to explain - we need to open this door?" She cocks her head as she concentrates on the immediate surroundings.

Tellanya has an odd look on her face, as she nods, and then walks towards the doorway nearby, "yes, this is where we went. Here - " She points at the door, "we found the gauntlets in there."

She smiles at Stryn, and asks "Stryn, you checked this for traps, if I am not mistaken."

Energized by the fight, Tellanya flexes and stabs out at the dwarf, viciously.

Longspear, IC, cover: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26
Longspear damage, IC, cover: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11
Longspear, IC, cover (confirm): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13
Longspear damage, IC, cover: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12

Probably not confirmed.

Tellanya frowns and says, "look, maybe you should just give up."

Everyone has "Shake it Off" for the next one round. For example, at the moment, Tellanya has +2 to all saving throws (for a total of +5 Fort, +4 Reflex, +6 will).

If anyone critically threatens any ally - Tellanya activates "Curse of Faltering (-2 penalty, DC 13) (Su)" As an immediate action, when an enemy within 30 ft threatens crit, force reroll with Cha mod penalty (-2). A DC 13 Will save negates this.

Tellanya jogs up, "this was quite an experience, catching up to this fellow." She waves at the dwarf, "hello!" She hefts her spear and tries to take a stab at him.

Everyone has "Shake it Off" for the next four rounds. For example, at the moment, Tellanya has +2 to all saving throws (for a total of +5 Fort, +4 Reflex, +6 will).

Longspear, IC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 16
Longspear damage, IC: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

If anyone critically threatens any ally - Tellanya activates "Curse of Faltering (-2 penalty, DC 13) (Su)" As an immediate action, when an enemy within 30 ft threatens crit, force reroll with Cha mod penalty (-2). A DC 13 Will save negates this.

Tellanya follows through the door and stands next to Camellia.

Everyone still has "Shake it Off" for the next four rounds. For example, at the moment, Tellanya has +1 to all saving throws (for a total of +4 Fort, +3 Reflex, +5 will).

Tellanya notes that their enemies seem to be hells-bent on blasting them, so she summons her spirit friends to help guard their bodies and souls. "You have been aided by the spirits, companions!"

Activate Tribal Cooperation - Everyone has "Shake it Off" for the next four rounds. For example, at the moment, Tellanya has +3 to all saving throws (for a total of +6 Fort, +5 Reflex, +7 will).

If anyone critically threatens any ally - Tellanya activates "Curse of Faltering (-2 penalty, DC 13) (Su)" As an immediate action, when an enemy within 30 ft threatens crit, force reroll with Cha mod penalty (-2). A DC 13 Will save negates this.

She shakes her longspear at the fellow, but cannot move into the room!

Tellanya laughs merrily, ”no, little one, spirits are nothing to fear. You have always encountered them. They are in all things - the spirits have helped your swordarm many times - if you are a frightened then imagine the future is the past when you have already gotten over your fear!” She pats Kiley on the shoulder.

knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Tellanya nods quietly as she reads, "a disquiet spirit indeed - I wonder how we will put it to rest?" She looks thoughtful.

Tellanya figures that ambulatory spirits like this need something to keep them dead permanently, and would be more interested in knowing how to accomplish that.

Tellanya nods, "yes, we will not wish to be ambushed." She gestures east towards the hallway, "though perhaps someone should cover the rear guard?" She hefts her spear, "I can stay in the back." She smiles at the others and waits for a decision.

Tellanya holds her tongue, knowing how she can sometimes get mixed up about things.

Tellanya nods, "I agree, we aren't supposed to kill you. You're supposed to give up. The signs are there." She gestures vaguely.

She moves up and holds up her hands in supplication.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

But her statement seems more confusing than anything else.

I'm assuming diplomacy will be a standard action. Not bothering with AOOs because I doubt it'll matter this round.

If anyone critically threatens any ally - Tellanya activates "Curse of Faltering (-2 penalty, DC 13) (Su)" As an immediate action, when an enemy within 30 ft threatens crit, force reroll with Cha mod penalty (-2). A DC 13 Will save negates this.
