The Magi's page

Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

His eyes widen in surprise at the creature's aggressive ambush. But what is it? I recall tales of such a threat. It's called a...?

Realizing that to miss may mean harming a fellow dwarf, the vigilante carefully tracks his foe's movement before launching a purple bolt of flame at the dungeon predator.

Mystic Bolt PBS/Into melee: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 20
Damage (cold): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Other than Halali, did anyone else trade away Stonecunning for a different trait?

Swapped out for Rock Stepper (allows 5' step in difficult terrain).

As 'The Magi', Delve snags one of the healing potions. With a nod of his featureless mask, the vigilante slides to the back of the group.

In a similar boat. Thinking of adding a level of Snakebite Brawler to pick up a sneak attack for better DPS. Just having a brief fear of commitment.

Played many, but will toss down replays as needed.

WOOHOO!

I don't have any STANDARD 1st-level characters. I think I will sit this one out and just follow along.

Master of the Fallen Fortress, it is a repeatable

So, I now have a predicament. MotFF is the first chronicle on Magi. It is the reason I went SLOW on Wisp and Confirmation. Even if I play it for no credit (which I am not certain I can do with the same character), I will be behind the rest of the team moving forward.

Even if I were run the scenario, I can't apply the credit to Magi (leaving him behind the rest of the pack).

Everything looks good on my chronicle!

As I recall, there is a reason all my characters hate Grand Convocations. I have never once had a dinner or party go smoothly. You think they would learn...or hire better security, lol.

Magi listens but offers little else. Nothing to be said really. We're here, she's not. This conversation ain't gonna change that.

Profession (Barrister)TAKE 10: 10 + 5 = 15

Seconded. Hope you are both safe.

Hearing Grunigon's request, Magi realizes he is more than happy for the distraction. He is far more eager to seek out magical auras than dwell on the traumatizing loss of an ally.

Perception (Detect Magic): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

WHOA! He's so fast. Too fast! The vigilante backs away from the beast before launching another bolt of blue flame.

Mystic Bolt (PBS/into melee): 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 - 4 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Moved you Kaz!

The vigilante watches the halfling's head roll slowly on the ground before it comes to a stop against a stone. "Uh oh!"

Realizing the deadly beast needs to come to them, Magi calmly waits for it to come into range of his mystic bolts.

Readied Action: Target in range (30')
Mystic Bolt (PBS): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 = 22
Damage (cold): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Magi trundles forward as best as he can.

Double move.

Magi squeezes along the tight passage then levels an arm at the ooze and looses a bolt of energy.

Arcane Blast (cold): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12
Damage (cold): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Magi nods at Dran's suggestion. "Agreed."

Hmm...gremlins eat my last post. I moved, but then realized that I had no weapons other than the cold blast (which they are immune to.) So, not far off the mark as far as what he accomplished.

Detect Magic/Spellcraft vs DC 18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Detect Magic/Spellcraft vs DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Can Spiritualists use a Pearl of Power?

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

He takes a closer look at the corpse.

Local: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Magi darts into the room. He looks at the creatures, then uselessly around the room for a weapon. My blasts swill do NOTHING to these things, and I don't even have a dagger! What was I thinking?!?!

I mean, I have Burning Hands, but this is not the time/place.

Suspecting trouble, the vigilante makes sure he has a clear shot that the figure, if things should turn sour.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

The Magi adjusts his mask so it is no longer sitting over his eyes.

Magi picks up one of the arcane wands.

Burning Hands is on my spell list.

While Grunigon looks to explore the bottom of the pit, the vigilante grows wary of what may wait on the other side. He then looks at the pit, gauging the distance. He takes a few steps back, then sprints at the yawning chasm. At the last moment, he leaps for all he is worth.

Acrobatics (+2 to jump): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21

Magi trusts the senior agent knows what she is doing as he joins the others in the cave.

Silently, the warlock launches a burst of purple flame. He threads the space between Grunigon and Halali, easily avoiding them as the dark fire freezes a section of carapace.

Arcane Bolt vs YELLOW {Melee}: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 4 = 19
Damage (cold): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I'll give the vigilante one last shot and rebuild before second level if I am still not feeling it.

I'm thinking of rebuilding as a grenadier alchemist, eventually making explosive crossbow bolts.

Planning on sticking around.

Not sure I am liking the warlock build, so I may make changes before level 2.

Profession (Barrister): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Profession (Barrister) GM Reroll: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19

"Burn it!" rasps the vigilante once more.

Magi tries to exercise more patience. He waits for an opening in the chaotic melee before launching a blast.

Mystic Bolt (PBS/IC/melee): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 18
Damage (PBS/IC/cold): 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

No worries. Get some rest!

The Magi tries to aim around the paladin, but is unable to get a clear shot.

Mystic Bolt (PBS/IC/melee): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 7
Damage (PBS/IC/cold): 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Ah...forgot the IC. So +1 more point of damage please.

Magi considers what he knows. In his seldom heard rasp, "Burn it!"

Stepping up for a clearer view, The Magi launches a bolt of blue fire right after Bilos hurls his stone.

Mystic Bolt (PBS): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 = 21
Cold Damage (PBS): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

What is that thing?
Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Magi follows behind Ander.

Magi nods at Kaztor's reminder. This is supposed to be a holy place.

Sorry for the relative quiet. Been getting ready for the end of the school year and making preparations for my daughter's graduation.

Magi alerts the others. He points at the gnome and shakes his head. "Deceptive magic."

Magi opens the window and climbs into the room.

Stealth: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Magi joins the others at the window. Well, if he's deaf, then maybe he won't hear a little rattling. The vigilante takes out his tools and works to unlock the window.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

The Magi takes a knee at the knob, gives is a perfunctory jiggle to check, then gets to work on the lock.

Eye-brows furrow in confusion behind his mask. Who or what is a Fimbrik?

Any rolls for some insight?

The masked dwarf silently nods in support of their effort to use a Wayfinder.

Social (aid): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 13

No Wayfinder here! Sounds like we need to enact 'Plan B'.

Magi considers the ethical implications of pilfering through the tomb. But, it IS for the greater good...right?

Following along in the back, Magi smirks mirthfully behind his mask at the situation. How is he going to explain this?

Magi is somewhat relieved at the turn of events. Glad we didn't have to sneak in. No way to honor a fellow dwarf.

Magi pats the belt pouch where his 'tools of the trade' are stored.
+9 Disable Device, but I will wait for consensus that is what we want to do before making an attempt.

Behind his mask, Magi listens intently. However, hearing no flaws in their logic, he merely nods in agreement with both Dran and Halali.
