The Maiden of Gold's page

D'oh! It turns out I've already done this campaign in Standard mode, I can't this play again. Can you mark this character as inactive?

Here's my trapspotting not-rogue. I also have a level 3 alchemist and a level 3 skald available. Unfortunately my other PCs are out of tier or busy.

Sorry, I never dotted the discussion thread. I was wondering where the chronicles went, haha.

"Well that was entertaining." The Maiden wipes the gore off her longsword before sheathing it. "It is good to be alive for another day."

Longsword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"I did mention not to breathe in that gas."

Drinking dulls your senses. I'd rob them blind if I had the chance.

With the Azlanti champion on its way, Charis decides not to dip into her visions. "The day is won. Let's conserve on our resources for now."

Longsword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 After healing Whendel's wounds, she grabs and coils her whip.

"Well then. You seem to have this well at hand, Lancyn. If you can understand me." The Maiden points where the scouts are indicating. "More are coming that way. Could you please?"

Choo choo all aboard the whirlwind!

"Hmm?" Charis turns her head to the side, distracted by a fleeting image of a serpent. The Charau-ka's club swings past her head and slams into the ground. "As always, thank you." She whispers to no one in particular as she pulls out her longsword and retaliates.

Longsword, Archaeologist’s Luck: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The Maiden spends her time dragging Lancyn into one of the nearby tents. "Alright. At least no one will find him."

"What do we do about Lancyn?" She stares at the half conscious human paladin. "Can we move him to somewhere more fortified?"

Knowledge: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
She calls upon her visions to remember something, anything, about these beasts.

With a straight shot to the last enemy, the Maiden decides to trip it.

Whip + Luck vs CMD, Inspire Courage, Flanking, into melee: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 18

The Maiden juggles her whip with a wand on her way to Essa. "Easy there."

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"No one enter the cloud." The Maiden yells. "If no one else gets you, I'll help you Essa."

"Like the mighty colossus." Charis stares at the mania going on about her. Running around the tent, she cracks her whip at the blue-tinted monkey.

Trip with a Whip, Archaeologist’s Luck, Inspire Courage vs Blue Monkey CMD: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19

"I don't know what happened to Lancyn, but that big thing trying to kill the monkey kind of sounds like him."

"Someone watch our backs please."

"I guess that's my queue." The Maiden shrugs and keeps her whip ready.

"Hmpf. I should have taken initiative there!" The Maiden laughs. "Let's see if we've found what they are looking for...

"Let's finish this."

Silver Light Mace, Archaeologist’s Luck: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

"And by that, I mean one of you finish it." She takes a step back.

As the skeleton shambles past her, the Maiden swings immediately.
Silver Light Mace, Archaeologist’s Luck: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Missing utterly, she swings again.

Silver Light Mace, Archaeologist’s Luck: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Much better. "Incoming!"

Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"Skeletons. If you have a way to smash them, it would be best."

She draws her silver light mace and moves up to the corner. She draws upon her visions of the future to guide her aim.

Readying an action to hit the first skeleton who enters melee range.
Silver Light Mace, Archaeologist’s Luck: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The Maiden shrugs. Either Aspis will stay out of their way, or they will embarrass themselves again.

"Oh yes, the key." The Maiden reaches into her... somewhere... to pull a key. "Ah yes, here we are. Aspis was intent on stealing it."

The Maiden can't help but laugh. "Thank you for your hospitality. It's quite generous!"

"They're like rats, always scurrying behind the superiors. Begging for scraps." The guard smiles. "Let's leave already. This chase bores me."

Oops, I hit AC 20 for 7 damage. Thanks Night Hunter!

Drawing upon her visions, The Maiden draws her shortbow and fires upon the blue-clad agent in the back.

Shortbow, Archaeologist’s Luck: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"And here the come... I'll box them in!" The Maiden snaps her fingers, raising a wall of trees!

Casting Silent Image, as a wall of trees. This is in an L-shape, but I've left a hole in the tree line. Will Save DC 14 to disbelieve once you interact.

"They would be after us anyway." The Maiden leans back in the caravan, hand clutched to her whip. "I don't like all of this attention. I hope the shopkeep is alright and was able to escape."

As the caravan takes a break, The Maiden keeps her eyes open. "I don't know why they backed off... are we at a border crossing? Or are they planning an ambush?"

Knowledge(Local): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

"Right, questioning them and all that. Sounds fine to me- oh, what a cute little lizard. Were you looking for something?" She muses. "I didn't even notice. I'll have to keep my eyes and ears sharp."

The Maiden grins as she notices the thug glare at Ako. She's about to laugh when a vision of her head falling off causes her to swerve at the last moment. A scimitar almost cuts her down.

"Oh, stop it already, you've already lost." Flanking with Essa, she swings again at the gold-trimmed thug.

Longsword, Archaeologist’s Luck: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

As a side note, Charis has Uncanny Dodge, so she can't be caught flatfooted. Also entangle is a great spell... when you can the enemy in a grassy plain.
This morning Charis takes the guise of a half-elven sellsword. "Let's see if we can get out of here without ambush."

"I spoke too soon." The men move past her in a blur before she can react. Realizing what's happening, she draws her longsword and relies on her visions to guide her blade and help Essa with the flank.

Longsword, Archaeologist’s Luck: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Instead she nearly lops of Ako's head. "Apologies, dear."

Lancyn: CLW is on your spell list, so you can use a wand at level 1, even before you can cast it normally.

"Hmpf. That idiot." The Maiden immediately goes to searching her remains for clues. "It's clearly time for us to get out of here. I'm good at hiding stuff, I can hold onto the goods."

"Whendel, I can use the wand as well. That's the basic Cure Light Wounds wand, right?"
Ako: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Ako: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Essa: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Whendel: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

The glamour of the half-orc fades overnight, revealing a scaled woman with serpentine eyes and a forked tongue. A simple domino mask rests on her brow as she hisses away the night.

The Maiden lashes out with her whip, trying to aid Essa.

Aid Another vs AC 10: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Essa has a +2 attack bonus to attack this woman.

"Hehe. We got this."

Some of the wall crumbles as Lancyn walks through. Ako walks through the wall of a puff of smoke.

"Haha! You picked the wrong pockets to pick!" The half-orc laughs. "First rule: don't bully a dragon."

She moves behind a wall for cover, changing the illusion so there is an obvious path through.

"Heh, it's one of my abilities. Walk up to the wall and I'll make a hole in it so you can charge through."

I suggest you either hold or ready an action. During my turn I will drop some of the illusion so you can charge the woman.

Charis snaps her fingers and raises a wall, cutting off the woman. She approaches and draws her whip. "She doesn't know who she's messing with. Handle these fools, then I'll drop these walls."

Focusing on Silent Image. DC 14 to disbelieve once they interact. If you've been told it's fake you get a +4 bonus to disbelieve.

Can you put the woman on the map? I want to put up an illusion.

"Hehe, sounds good to me. deal!" The half-orc chuckles, confident in his costume's longevity.

Back at Senzer's shop, the Maiden nods. "Make sure you read the dotted line next time. At least you can get out of here."

"And so should we."

"She's blackmailin' merchants. Leave her to her fate." Charis unlocks the cabinet and gets the cure. "'sides, there are no proper authorities here. If you want that, we sail her back to Absalom."

"Ah, there you are!" The half-orc chuckles and runs around the room, cracking her whip to trip Lura. "You're the main event now, love. Your bodyguard can't help ya now."

Trip, into melee vs CMD: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 4 = 15

The Maiden shrugs, draws upon her visions and lashes out at the bodyguard's legs. "Hmpf, didn't see nothin here, anyway. Maybe she keeps the goods in the back?"

Attempting a Dirty Trick to entangle Bellu.

Dirty Trick vs CMD: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Entangled creatures take a -2 to attack and -4 to Dexterity.

"Huh? Me?" Charis finally notices the ale she kicked over that clearly exposed her. "Well, I-" the bodyguard perks up and Charis shakes her head. "Well, may as well get this over with."

She draws her whip and prepares to trip the first hostile enemy in range.

The Maiden begins scoping for guards and potential hidden entrances to Ichon's storage. Pilfering the cure was the highest priority.

Add +1 against traps
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Disable Device: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Bardic Knowledge: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The Maiden simply nods and travels towards the pit.

"Bad deals, them's the worst." Charis feels the wound on her head. "Yeah, we'll go there and get the cure." She wipes off the blood and sheathes her sword.

My longsword should hit AC 23 for 9 damage. Thanks Night Hunter!

"Yeah, yeah. I'll stabilize 'em after he's down and the ringing in my ears stops!" Charis feels the bump where the sap hit her and tries to shake it off.

Longsword, Archaeologist’s Luck: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

This time, the fading visions indicate where the thug will be and she slices right after him. "Senzer, you OK, yeah? No one's gonna harm a merchant on my watch."

"Hmpf. Good old shakedown, I take it? Not today." The half orc walks over to protect Senzer and pulls out a longsword. Visions float by as she lines up her swing.

Longsword, Archaeologist’s Luck: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Very blurry visions.

"Good doing business with ya." Charis nods.

Bardic Knowledge: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

"Sorry about this Whendel. The sooner we finish this, the better."

Just look for where the ants broke through the wall and we can put the repellant there... She thinks. Ugh, could they be any louder?

The Half-orc puts her finger to her mouth and shakes her head.
