The Experiment, 322's page

322 was the crazy night oracle. She was lots of fun to play!

Chronicles look great to me. Thanks Kludde.

Yaaaay Aspis!

"Pathfinders will have to find me first if they want Aram Zey back!" She giggles. "And I'm good at hide n seek!"

She pulls out a wand and uses it to close the Vengeful's wounds.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 3 = 8 pffft
Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 2) + 3 = 13
Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 7) + 3 = 16

"Anyone else?"

The Experiment taps her pocket and giggles.

"No escape just yet." She giggles. "That was fun!" She quickly spins in midair.

"What do we do about the sky key?"

322 flies forward until she hovers over the balcony. She seems to be giggling all the way.
"Wheeee!"

It doesn't seem like Aram Zey is armed and can threaten, so 322 isn't casting defensively.

She tries to touch the Master of Scrolls.

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Inflict Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3, 6) + 7 = 20

She giggles some more, as if she just understood a joke whispered to her ear.

Did Shohiraj pop the last illusory double? His status bar claims he has 1 more.

Once there is Aram Zey's illusions are popped, 322 releases the cold of the interstellar void upon Aram Fey.

Cold Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 2, 4, 1, 3) = 20 Fort Save DC 16 negates

She giggles and does a quick jig as the air briefly turns bitterly cold.

Usually everyone's voice sounds like an empty wind, but Aram's voice is clear as day. The experiment shrugs and casts a spray of dark particles around Zey, hoping to tire him.

Casting Dust of Twilight in a 10x10 grid around Zey. Fort Save DC 16 or become fatigued.

She then flies up to the second floor using her ebony wings.

Realizing Aram Zey is actually on the upper level, the professional double moves up the stairs towards the real target.

Dispelling her Ghost Touch, the experiment flies to Zurnzal's side, quickly healing his wounds.

Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (2, 8, 8) + 7 = 25

Waiting to see if Zey becomes visible.

So if I struck an illusion, does that mean I still have my Ghoul Touch charge?

322 is quite confused as her hand passes through the illusory Zey.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Taking a guess, she sprays the dust of twilight where she thinks he is.

Go go will save!
Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Aram Zey loosens the binds of experiment 322's mind, she feels the void lunging at it, trying to tear it apart. As she struggles against it, but she is finally able to hear it. It doesn't want to kill her, it embraces her. Invites her to be one with nothing and everything all at once. For a brief moment, she is one with existence, and has Aram Zey to thank for it.

She giggles maniacally as she hops towards Aram Zey and tries to touch him.

Melee Touch attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Ghoul Touch: Fort Save DC 16 or he is paralyzed for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 minutes. One Save or Suck spell deserves another, right? If this works I kinda shut this fight down...

322 flies from the door and lands on top of one of the couches. She then casts Ghoul Touch.

My buffs include Ghoul Touch, Wings of Darkness and Armor of Darkness.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
The darkness crawls across her, closing her wounds. She fiddles with something in her pockets. She hasn't forgotten the lantern, and the benefits it contains. After this job, maybe she'll be done.

Maybe.

"R-ready."

She waves her hands in the air, and her cloak seems to sprout two transparent wings.

Wings of Darkness: I can fly at 60 ft for the next minute. I have a +6 to Fly.

I finally got 322's personality down (and I'm travelling), so I'll stick with her. (Plus you guys need a healbot :P) Rataji, go!

I'll be traveling for the next two days. I'll probably fail to post during at least one of those days, so feel free to bot me if needed.

322 is quite pleased as Zurnzal breathes. She decides to pull out her scroll of heal and close all his wounds quickly, rather than waste her own precious gifts.

I'd probably burn through 2 of my Cure Serious Wound spells healing you to full. Now's the best time to spend the scroll, I say. That's 110 HP, so you should be back to full.

Once he is restored, 322 skitters over to the leader to watch his ritual, and offer what little help she can.

Aid Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Ouch! The dice gods really hate you, Zurnzal!

If I am allowed to retcon, now is definitely the time to use my Breath of Life scroll.

322 emerges from the shadows and fires a ray at Loshari.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 Man, casters...

Her ray goes wide. She frowns as it misses.

With only a standard action, 322 would try to stealthily move into the room. She'll take a -5 penalty to move at full speed.

Stealth, fullspeed: 1d20 + 10 + 4 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 4 - 5 = 25

Sneak, sneak, sneak! Wait, what did she say?

This plan is fine with me. Let's do this.

COBRA

...I mean

ASPIS!

Hiding! 322's favorite game!

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 4 = 30

She's good at hiding!

Skaarr is pretty well-known for ending up in the top 32 of the yearly crafting contest, so he is likely to be recognised.

Haha, I've been thinking about this joke the entire weekend.

322 frowns as Zurnzal gives a stiff, monotone impersonation of Skaarr.

The dicebot really hates you, man.

I will cast Dust of Twilight on the closest Pathfinder I see. It's a 10 ft spread, so I'll try to catch multiple foes if possible.

Has it been more than an hour since we fought the lizards and statues? Just wondering if Heroism on Zurnzal has run out, or if my Cloak of Darkness needs to be refreshed.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

322 listens carefully as they approach the door and motions quiet to the other Agents.

When they retreat to a safe distance, 322 pipes up. "I think they are guarding the some kind of tapestry. Sounds like it's torn, though. I guess we get it from them?" 322 twiddles her thumbs.

"Oh, issues indeed." She shudders as the darkness closes her wounds and retreats to her head.

When ready to move, the experiment seems to blend into the crowd, unnoticed. Not like anyone cares about her, anyway.
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 6 = 36

"Oh. Okay." She touches the halfling's wounds, frowning as shadows sweep across her arm and close the wound.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (6, 2) + 7 = 15

"All better." 322 is glad to see the darkness fade from the halfling and not envelop her. Like that one time...best not to ponder on it for too long.

322 cringes a bit, then mumbles to herself and touches Maranarius. She sees the darkness seep forth from her fingertips, covering the wounds. As the darkness seeps back into her fingers, she sees the wounds close.

That should heal you completely, Marnarius.
Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14
Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 5) + 7 = 19

I should heal myself, too.
Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (5, 8) + 7 = 20
Eh, close enough.

"Uhh...does anyone else?" She shudders a bit at the thought of leaking more darkness out of her.

My spellcraft is +9 to identify magic item properties. Feel free to roll for me if needed.

322's cheers as the stony lizard crumbles. Her mutterings sound like gibberish for a minute before she calms down. Finally she speaks the common tongue.

"That was fun! But what is next?"

I just found out I made RPG Superstar top 32! I will not be posting in any of my PBP games until I get my entry for round two done. Thanks for being patient with me.

Congrats!

Yes, Heroism on Zurnzal.

322 ponders what she should do next. Holding her dagger steady, she moves forward and tries to leap behind the lizard to provide flanking for her allies.

Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Don't forget my +6 to AC, putting me at AC 18

Rataji casts a few words, then touches Joliryn's shoulder. "Try that again, but with vigor this time."

Casing Heroism on Rataji for a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saves, and skill checks for 70 minutes.

322 frowns as the lizards ignore her commands. She hears and sees Marnarius shouting at her, but his words sounds like the wind.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12

Luckily he points hard enough for her to get the message. She draws her dagger, walks around the bench and calls upon the darkness to protect her.

Using the cloak of darkness for +6 AC and +4 Stealth bonuses for an hour. This is my second hour of its use.

You're not fully sure what 322 said as the chameleon bit her and resisted all of her saves, but it probably wasn't pretty.

She takes a step back and makes a murderous command upon the lizard. Will Save DC 15 to ignore

Seeing the two lizards are engaged in combat, 322 stalls the chameleon with the gift of madness.

Will DC 17 or go insane for 7 rounds. One of these critters will fail their Will Save, dammit. That's my 3rd Gift of Madness today.

322 stares at the Northern Lizard and screams at it in Auran.

Casting Murderous Command. Will Save DC 15. Also taking a 5 ft step so I'm surrounded by pews.

Any relevant knowledge rolls? Are the chameleons alive, or statues?

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Pfft. Hope these are religious statues.

As 322 skips into the room, she suddenly becomes alert. She darts into the room and fires a ray from her fingertips, hitting the Western chameleon.

Ray of Sickening vs Ranged Touch and Flatfooted: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Assuming that hit, DC 15 Fort Save or be sickened for 7 minutes.

322 notes the added weight, wondering when she will use it and if it will help her sleep untouched by the darkness. What a joke.

She notices the Antarnicus Vault, 322 looks around for anything suspicious.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Well she tries to, but what could be inside that vault? Her mind races, thinking of the goodies that lay inside.

Should I reroll my stealth check?

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 4 = 22

322 is having quite a fun time doing all of this sneaking around. Hope they know where to lead her...

"That was exciting." 322 almost dances as Zurnzal smashes the Half-orc's head. "Oh, where are we going? Can I help?"
Wrapping the cloak around herself, 322 blends into the shadows as she sneaks along.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 4 = 30
She can help you like that for another hour or so.

Realizing he is too well guarded against the horrors of the dark, 322 opens her cloak, which has become immeasurably cold. The half-orc briefly feels an intense coldsnap.

Fort Save DC 17 or he takes 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 6) = 17 cold damage

Those +10 Will Saves, man. If that half-orc turns out to be a demigod I won't be surprised.

322 is enjoying the festival. So many people happy, enjoying the spectacle and wondering if she can
fend off the darkness for another day. Sadly she cannot, as it crawls off and points to the bushes, forming the image of the Ambitious.
"Oh! He needs help."

Wrapping the cloak around her, she heads off towards her foe. She speaks in two voices: those of Aklo and Auran.

She bends the darkness around the foe's head and tries to drive him insane.
Will Save DC 17 or become confused for 7 rounds.

[dice=Will save]1d20+5

Zurnzal freezes, crying on the inside and cursing the fates who have brought him so low.

I told you not to mess with that "Clark Kent" guy! He seemed suspicious to me...

322 will help Marnarius with his investigation. So many people to watch, observe, experience,

322 sees the darkness surround the Half-orc's mind, then repel off. "Oh...Perhaps he is too strong?" She speaks to no one, as Zurnzal has already snuck off.

Well, back to base.

322 hopes no one is looking (cause she she has to be within 30 feet of her target) and her eyes grow black as she reaches into an unknown force. Is it the stars? Is it some fiendish patron? Is it the madness beyond understanding? She's never sure.

The half-orc's head turns black, briefly as an unknown force taps into his mind.

Using the Gift of Madness: 7 times per day as a standard action, 322 can tap into the unthinkable void between the stars to cause a single living creature within 30 feet to become confused for 7 rounds (DC 17 Will negates). This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.

322 looks at Zurnzal, wondering if she should reach into the darkest depths of the Pathfinder's mind.

322 keeps quiet, but waves hello at the half-orc.

Bluff, Aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

I guess I can drive this target insane...hopefully the darkness doesn't get to me first...

Although both Kreighton Shaine and Marcos Farabellus have made appearances, nobody has spotted the Master of Scrolls Aram Zey. It’s not especially surprising, given Zey’s dislike of crowds and dealing with the public.

Although nearly every Pathfinder at the Grand Lodge is allowed to wander about and relax, several dozen are on guard duty on the walls and in Skyreach. Most of these assignments are punishments for debts incurred to the Society or bungled expeditions. Part of the reason that Aram Zey hasn’t been seen yet is because he is supervising these patrols.

322 pays careful attention to Rataji as he explains what he heard about the master of scrolls, Aram Zey. "What a shame," she starts. "If we catch him when he is most vulnerable, I can sabotage his spirit. I am no good at finding people who do not wish to be found, however."
