Hey guys.
So some of you may know, I recently got a promotion and am taking on leadership of two surgical ICU units at my hospital. We are a high acuity facility, and there is a lot of pressure and responsibility falling on the shoulders of both myself and my entire staff (as is always the case for healthcare employees in general, but I digress).
But, the past few days have shown me I need to trim things down significantly in my life to give the new job the focus it deserves. As such, I regretfully am going to have to withdraw from this game. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have to do what I have to do to for my new situation.
I will be marking this thread as inactive, but most all my games have access to me by discord. Feel free to chat with me on there.

”Anyone…care to explain how a wad of worms can talk, use magic, and take human shape? And just saying ‘magic’ doesn’t count!” Thanara asks as she unleashes another gout of electricity at the thing.

Reflex:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Thanara manages to avoid the worst of the flames, her ward protecting her from the rest.
”Eww! A worm swarm that talks and knows magic!?!? That is just wrong!” Thanara says as she proceeds to kill it with lightning! She launches a large blast of lightning in an explosion on top of it before then sending a wave of lightning coursing out at it from her fingertips!

Elemental Blast:15d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 5, 6, 5, 3, 2, 6, 4, 4, 2, 5, 4, 2) = 60Reflex DC 26 for half. If fail, gains Vulnerability to Electricity until end of my next turn.

Thanara steps up and puts a hand on Katrina’s shoulder. ”Why don’t we let me handle sweet talking the extra planar monstrosity…”
She pushes forward and then says, more loudly, ”Apologies, mighty one. My friend I feel did not convey the message accurately. The one we seek was stolen from another plane from which his soul was already judged and determined to belong. And by denizens acting without Lord Norgorber’s knowledge, so we are told. We seek only to restore the balance and prevent an inter-planar incident. We do not seek to create more of a disruption than is necessary.”

After a bit of small talk, Thanara stands and collects her things. ”I think I am going to call it a night. Though, I think I will choose better accommodations than these…” she says and with a wave of her hand, a shimmering portal opens up in the middle of Amelia’s room, with small arcs of electricity occasionally rippling along its edges. Thanara steps towards it but pauses and looks over her shoulder. ”You are welcome to join me, if you’d like.”

Upon losing the fourth round, and Amelia’s suggestion, instead of removing anything else she raises her glass. ”Well, someone has to loosen you guys up! Every single one of you are wound up tighter than an Abadaran lender!”
Just checked your alias…lol bad idea on Thanara’s part. So far only one potential winning round for her.
Thanara is handily beaten the first three rounds. She first removes her shoes, then belt, then cloak. She snickers and adds ”Maybe I made a poor call on the wager, but all in fun, right?” with a wink as she playfully tosses the cloak to the floor.

Thanara walked in, taking in the room and the dice set. ”Well, I do hope you are willing to keep it interesting,” she says as she sits at the little table and crosses her leg over her other knee.
”So, what are the rules?” she asks as she pours the two of them a glass.

Late That Evening:
There is a gentle knock on Amelia’s door. When she opens it, she sees Thanara standing there leaning against the doorframe, holding two wine glasses and a bottle of wine, a coy smile on her face. ”So, about that game you mentioned?” she asks.

Starting to run low on her magical reserves, Thanara sends a single beam of lightning at the frog, though five crackling orbs orbit around it as the two magics strike the thing at the same time.

Thanara weaves her hands around her and electricity begins dancing along her skin, coalescing on her forearms and hands. She then sends the blasts one at a time at the naga, saving the final bolt at the frog thing.

Thanara rolls her eyes. Not the most strategic bunch, are they?
Even so, even she knows to stick with the ones willing to take the hits for her. She tags along, a spell in mind and ready to use the moment their quarry comes into view...
Readied action to cast Wall of Force directly behind the bad guys the moment Thanara spots them, so that they can't retreat or possibly go get more help from that direction.

Again Thanara wills more large chunks of debris to fly at the thing, and then a roiling ball of storm and lightning appears behind it, rolling into it and discharging lightning!

Thanara focuses on the area Katria designates and suddenly can see through the illusion as well. Looking about at the rubble, she focuses her magic and several large chunks of debris float up and then with a thrust of her hand, go flying at the thing from various directions. A moment later, five orbs of arcane energy crackling with electricity also slam into the thing!

”Yeah, I’d prefer to not be rendered into total uselessness if we could avoid it,” Thanara quips. ”Let’s get a move on before this thing alerts other nasties to get in our way,” she adds as she gestures the way forward.
Active Effects: Mage Armor, Detect Thoughts, Greater False Life, Tongues, Darkvision AC 13 FF 13 T 10| HP 105| F +13 R +13 W +14 | Init +9| Percep +15
Thanara shakes her head. ”I can make myself able to fly when I take on the form of an elemental. Though, I keep feeling like I’m close to a breakthrough in mastering my own ability to channel magic into flying. Just haven’t yet.”
Active Effects: Mage Armor, Detect Thoughts, Greater False Life, Tongues, Darkvision AC 13 FF 13 T 10| HP 105| F +13 R +13 W +14 | Init +9| Percep +15
Thanara snaps her head towards Katria. "And I can be a very dangerous person, when I choose to be!" she snaps, the frustration of prolonged battle clearly irritating her.

Thanara sends four beams of lightning at the one that was chewing on the little robotic guy, hoping to fry it before it can do more harm to it.

Ranged Touch, PBS, IC:1d20 + 7 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 + 3 = 28 Damage, PBS:4d6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 6) + 1 + 3 = 17

When Katria reaches her, she can feel Thanara trembling. ”I…I’m fine. Not used to using so much magic so fast…” she says as Katria helps her back to her feet.
”Did we fix it?” she asks as she brushes her hair back out of her face.

Thanara’s body is covered with sweat as the fighting ends, her chest heaving from the rapid fire exertion. Her trembling legs give way and she slumps to the ground, leaning on her hands as she catches her breath, her blonde hair cascading around her face.

Thanara wheels around, her eyes filled with electricity as small arcs of lightning continues to dance along her skin. She walks imperiously towards the pit creatures and holds her hands out their direction, sending streaks of lightning their direction as she lets out a thunderous roar.

Ranged Touch, PBS:1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 1 = 25 Scorching Ray Damage:4d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 4) + 1 = 13

Thanara is breathing heavily after the arcane exertion of her previous ability. But the specters still stand. She moves her hands again in a series of motions, sending three arcs of lightning at the one they had hit the most. She then pushes herself further, and grunts with the strain of her magic as she sends five smaller orbs of arcane electricity into the fray as well!
__________
Scorching Ray Touch Attack, PBS:1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 = 14 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 1) + 1 = 12

Thanara looked at the rapidly deteriorating scene around them and sighed. She began spinning her hands around each other as small arcs of electricity began dancing across her skin. An orb of roiling lightning formed between them, growing rapidly in size as she strained to control it. She lifted the orb above her head as it jumped in size to about ten feet across, the only thing holding it together being her sheer will! She then let out a strained ”UUUAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!” as she heaved it towards the spirits causing them so much trouble.
Lightning Blast:14d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 2, 6, 5, 2, 3, 2, 3, 5, 6, 3, 5) = 46 DC 26 Reflex Save for half

Seeing the hideous thing crawl out of the dragons skull, Thanara gasps in disgust as the others pounce on it! She waits to see if it is still alive before working her own magic.
If still alive, sending some Scorching Rays of Lightning at the thing.

”I will try to do to it what I did to the space slime fish. Maybe then we can get more answers from it,” Thanara says as she readies herself to cast her charm the moment they see this thing.

”So…” Thanara mutters with an intrigued tone, ”we are expecting things to get rough in here, are we? Very well…” she says before she starts layering her own protective wards around herself.

GFL:2d10 + 14 ⇒ (6, 3) + 14 = 23
Once warded, Thanara places her fingers to her temples and closes her eyes as she tilts her forehead down towards the house.
Using Detect Thoughts.
Detect Thoughts:
You detect surface thoughts. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject.
1st Round: Presence or absence of thoughts (from conscious creatures with Intelligence scores of 1 or higher).
2nd Round: Number of thinking minds and the Intelligence score of each. If the highest Intelligence is 26 or higher (and at least 10 points higher than your own Intelligence score), you are stunned for 1 round and the spell ends. This spell does not let you determine the location of the thinking minds if you can't see the creatures whose thoughts you are detecting.
3rd Round: Surface thoughts of any mind in the area. A target's Will save prevents you from reading its thoughts, and you must cast detect thoughts again to have another chance. Creatures of animal intelligence (Int 1 or 2) have simple, instinctual thoughts.
Each round, you can turn to detect thoughts in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.
