As he and his fellow agents leave a scene of utter carnage and destruction behind them, Rataji gives the group a genuine smile and an heartfelt nod of approval... the first honest emotions shown by him in a very long time...
Once Rataji is absolutely sure anything of note has been collected he grins ferociously:"Hey Falth... do you remember that discussion we had aboveground? Well... once we are out of here it's time to torch everything down. Destroy everything. You have my blessing!"
Rataji uses his pearl of power to recast magic missile
"It's an oneiric horror! It's not real Eramay! Snap out of it!"
Rataji just points his finger at the creature and lets four spheres of pure power explode towards it...
Player Name: Rogar Valertis
Note: The character is lvl 5, I will apply the chronicle as soon as he reaches lvl 7.
As the spiderlike creature advances Rataji starts casting a spell! -> ->
Rataji examines the items explaining their functions then considering the patients and based on what the party already learned he suggests to wake them up to avoid any furter complications
Once he's made sure to get every little shred of evidence Rataji smiles widely and nods:"Yes, by all means burn it down... but I'd say doing so after we have dealt with the rest of this complex seems like a safer option...
Rataji quickly moves inside the room to salvage the research data:"We need to take everything here. We need to know what they were planning!"
Rataji sighs as he notices the name on the dome:"Seems like we are dealing with high level teleporation... Bretheda is a far off planet known also as "the cradle" for the huge amount of exotic and monstruos species living there... I suppose we may expect to meet a few here" When the researches notice the group and start trying to destroy their research s suddenly allarmed Rataji shouts:"Stop them! We need those documents!"
Rataji opens hostilites casting magic missile against the wounded wizard...
Rataji silently awaits for Shohaji to complete her retcon before following her...
"Try to disable the trap while I supress its magic..." says Rataji casting a spell...
"Let me see..." Rataji moves near the trap, after a little while he shakes his head:"These runes here are meant to make the portal strong but also to provide a way to open it..."
Rataji stays away from the trap as well...
"It wants us to "ballance" this place. Seems like there's slavery of some kind going on here so it wants us to free the prisoners. Had this been some hall of freedom in Andoran or whatever those people have... it would have wanted us to start enslaving people. It's just the nature of such entity" comments Rataji appearing bored. "Anyway I second our leader's idea. We need to extract information from this place... before buring it down!"
"That's a theletos and I guess it has a twisted sense of humor as well..." says the Mwangi wizard gnashing his teeth seeing a clear allusion to him being demoted from silver rank to bronze. "Fact is these things can show glimpses of the future so..." Rataji moves near the mirror and speaks [/b]"We do want to make thoe things happen. Help us and we'll make sure that future comes to be"[/b] he says.
Rataji observes the courtyard but doesn't seem to notice anything unusual.
"Sure.... let's check the other door" mumbles Rataji, strangely unable to keep impatiance out of his tone of voice.
"Sure thing" mumbles Rataji following the others.
"Let's proceed then!" exclaims Rataji, eager to complete the mission.
Rataji continues to berate the tiefling, his usually soft tone gone and replaced by a threatening whisper:"Listen and listen well now, you doofus... This mission can't fail, do you get me? If it does I will personally make sure to turn your body into smoldering ashes in the most painful way possible, and that's not counting what I will do with your soul... do you get me? This mission CAN'T FAIL, keep that in mind and stop trying to blow it up before we've got the information we need!" on the final words the wizard seems rather panicked by the prospect of failure...
"Are you MAD!"?!?" hisses Rataji moving towards Falth.
Rataji takes a thorough look at the place...
"I think I will be visiting the processing facilities.." says Rataji moving towards the buildings.
"Let's check around a bit... don't do anything foolish though!" says Rataji morphing his features in those of a bald pale gaunt man bearing the insignia of zon kuthon. "I'm here on orders from the Umbral Court... what about you?" he asks in a mellifluous tone.
Bluff is fine, if the enigma is gone we could try recruiting someone else or move on with 5 players
We can go disguised/bluffing with some people following incognito
"I can see that my friend. No worry though, I'm sure that with some effort you can do well enough" says Rataji in a reassuring way.
"The Nindalese... they are a pleasant lot. IF you are into pain and self scarnification, that is" comments Rataji. "I suppose posing as merchants is as good a disguise as any. Or we can try to disguise ourselves as members of the Umbral Court. Those get a lot of respect in Wirholt’s Rictus. Maybe we could secure a private meeting with this Temarra and have a long and pleasant chat with her..." says Rataji, grinning.
"That's a nice question Shohiraj, but we should take our leave and find out ouselves. You heard his excellence's, this meeting is at an end. We can solve this particular riddle on our own..." says Rataji while following Eramay out of the Hall of Blades. "Let's see what I can tell you about Nindal and Wirholt’s Rictus my friends..." he adds in a mellifluous tone.
"We are of the same mind then, and, for the record, I also expect this to be a very fruitful experience for everyone involved" says Rataji, smiling an unctuous smile. "As for Nindal... I shall give you every little detail I can recall about that shadowtouched land immediately after his excellence has given us our leave" he finishes, still smiling.
"I resent the implication my dear. I have absolutely no knowledge about the whereabouts of the other people involved in that particular escapade or I would have revealed them already. The fact that I'm standing here with you proves I was found to be a truly loyal servant of our esteemed Consortium. I'll admit I was taken advantage of by these traitors but rest assured I plan to pay them back with interests as soon as possible" says Rataji in a pleasant, controlled tone. Then he adds:"My dear, not so long ago I had the same responsabilities as you do now but I do not resent my penance. I was stupid and I accept there needs to be a price to be paid for that. Expect only loyalty and collaboration from me, and good consuel if you'd have it. For example "asset" is such an ugly, dehumanizing word we are all people here, we are all members of the Consortium, we all want to see it suceed and the betrayers to be brought to justice, there's no need to lower morale with cynicism"
Looking like someone who's just bitten something really sour Rataji raises his hand and speaks:"Your excellence, you have made yourself abundantly clear. We'll infiltrate the place, get every bit of intelligence worth having THEN we'll reduce the place to a smoldering ruin. Very neat but shouldn't we at least try to capture one of the traitors for questioning? He... or she might have some insight in the workings of this Korholm Agenda, some knowledge worth extracting. Besides that it could be useful for us to know a bit about the place we need to infiltrate, any insight you could provide us about Wirholt’s Rictus would be much appreciated"
I'm happy with the game starting now BUT if you want us all here you've better send PMs because most people wouldn't bother to check the thread since it's expected to start in october.
I actually have played SR in Core too, but I was 322 in that scenario.
Looks like you guys got it decided. There's also a locked character available for those who have played Serpent's Rise. Mmmmh... is it scaly and has a really terrible case of bad breath? ;P
This could be a silly question, but I don't know the answer. How would one go about making an alias for a pre-gen character? I would assume that the name would be already taken as an alias so what do you do? Well, the name is taken, yes but you can add something so you are the only one having THAT name. For example, since when I played Serpent Rise "Rataji" was taken already I added "The leader," before it (Rataji was the leader back then. Noe he's "the disgraced").Let's say you want to play "the catastrophe", if you just write "Falth" or "The Catastrophe" the names will probably not be avaiable. But if you write something like "Falth, the catastrophe" or "Falth, tiefling catastrophe" chances are you'll be ableto get that name for yourself. It's as simple as that.
Rataji: He used to be a LEADER... now he's been DISGRACED by the machinations of his enemies!
Heìs been brought low but he's not dead yet, and he will not rest until his good name has been restored and his enemies have paid the ultimate price for betraying him. All in the name of the good and just ASPIS CONSORTIUM (of course...)
Actually, you do have to apply it to a specific number. If you're not level 6 yet, you simply apply it when you get to that level. It would be nice to keep it open, but you do have to assign it. As long as the intended character gets it it's OK I suppose. Please assign it to the character I outlined above, it will apply at level 6.
Can I keep the chronicle sheet without applying it to any character until one reaches level 6? I currently don't have any lvl 6+ PFS characters so I need to wait (or create a new lvl 1 but that's not my preferred option). It seems logical that I can but I'd like to be sure, thanks.
Thanks GM, you did an astonishing job too! Character Name: Rogar Valertis Alastoris
Rogar is only level 4 and I will apply the chronicle once he reaches level 6.
Rataji re-enters the room nonchalantly:"Well done! Well done! As your leader I feel proud of all of you. As they say a job well done is its own reward... but we of the Aspis Consortium know better, don't we?" he says while wearing a wide grin on his face. Then the wizard walks up to Aram Zey's lifeless corpse retrieving the his spellbook and casting a magic detection spells for other useful trinkets. Once done with anything useful he adds:"I think we've better move out quickly. Our distractions won't last forever and we'll need to be gone from here once the dimwits who inhabit this place realize what actually transpired here today... Let's move! We've people to meet and rewards to pocket..."
