Thendros's page

Mine looks good. That's a cool boon to have your own pirate ship too. Thanks Otha!

Geez, that's a long post. I'm pretty sure whatever just happened there means we won, but I'll post my actions in case there is something left.

Thendros fires a magic missile at whatever is left standing.
damage: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 2) + 4 = 12

spell resistance if any: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Everyone is within 30ft of me, I can't center the 30ft range on myself? That's a strange way to have a range limit on a spell. I guess I'm hitting everyone except for Taurus and Ridley.

Sorry, I was driving down to my vacation location last night until 2am, didn't get a chance to post.

Thendros moves to be in range of all his allies and casts haste on everyone, "Time to speed up!"

Keep in mind that if that spell is Slow, Haste automatically counters and dispels it on you guys and vice versa.

Thendros moves up behind Ridley, but his current selection of spells and abilities aren't well suited for this fight. "I don't have any great abilities for this. If I get a little closer, I can nail them with some spells, but I'll probably get shot doing so."

Move and pass.

Pokey aims his wand at red while Thendros casts the same spell at Yellow. "You know, I'm pretty sure I have a book on these guys if anyone wants to read it later! You'll have to check it out using your Wayfinder at the Grand Lodge library though."

UMD: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

DC 11 reflex save for red vs stumble gap 1d6 ⇒ 4 falling damage on a fail or -1 to all rolls on a save. DC 16 reflex save for yellow vs stumble gap 1d6 ⇒ 5 falling damage on fail or -1 to all rolls on a save.

Sorry, I just forgot about them having spell resistance.

"Well, where is Sevenfingers then?" Thendros asks, stopping his next spell cast.

Pokey tries to use his wand of ill omen, umd: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32, and does so. No save, but mind-affecting. Next roll is made twice and take the lowest.

Thendros follows up Pokey's wand with his own spell, stumble gap. DC 16 or take 1d6 ⇒ 2 falling damage and be prone.

"Well, I can't say I'm surprised we are being betrayed here. Unlikely we will find allies here." Thendros says while casting.

All vs yellow

Stumble gap will also reduce damage rolls by 1. It's quite a fantastic spell, honestly I think the best level 1 spell for the wiz/sor list and you sometimes actually want the enemy to pass their save for the -1 to everything effect.

Pokey tries to stumble the spider again, umd: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 but he fails to use the wand this turn.

While Thendros just peppers the creature with magic missiles.
SR check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

magic missiles: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 1) + 4 = 15

So, I don't believe there is an official answer on multiple hit spells and SR. Do you want a roll for each missile or 1 roll for the whole spell?

Keep in mind that even on a save vs stumble gap, he still has -1 to his rolls for 1 round.

Pokey uses his wand of stumble gap on yellow. DC 11 reflex or fall prone and take 1d6 ⇒ 4 points of falling damage. On a success, take a -1 penalty to all "rolls and checks".
umd: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Thendros casts Lock Gaze on yellow after Pokey. DC 16 will save or "averting its eyes from every creature but you, granting creatures other than you concealment against the target’s attacks".

Thendros stares into the spider's many eyes, hoping to lock them to his two.

I thought it might be a hex, but I didn't see any witch levels, so I assumed it was a spell. My ability is also Su, which is why I'm not rolling SR either :)

Ok, thanks! @Zaarah, is that a normal "Sleep" spell? It has a 1 round casting time normally and you'll also need an SR check.

Pokey uses a different wand this time and readies it to combo with his master. Readied action to cast Stumble Gap before on the closest spider right before Thendros uses his ability.

Thendros readies the same action, as it's likely his best choice against these strange spiders with spell resistance.
Readied action to use the damnation ability above if all three spiders are in range (30ft). DC 16 will save.

"These spiders are pretty weird, and most of my spells won't do much to them. If anyone can think of some low strength magic to use on them, let me know and I'll cast it, but nothing's coming to mind right now." Thendros says as he watches the spiders carefully.

Well shoot, those knowledge checks might significantly alter my turn. I'm not going to use a mind-affecting ability if I know they are immune to mind-affecting for instance. I based my turn off of the previous results of immune to poison and SR 19 etc. Just delay me until the next group if they are immune to mind-affecting for now since I'm at work.

Did I miss something? These are the same creatures, we know most of that info already and Zaarah already rolled?

Gotcha. All that really means is no mirror images for me.

Not really sure how much time has passed, any chance it's been less than 7 minutes from the first combat with the golem?

knowledge planes with penalty: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 - 2 = 18

Pokey aims his wand at orange. UMD: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
SR check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
But the spell resistance of the creature flashes as it fizzles a charge of ill omen.

Thendros spends a point from his arcane reservoir to ready an action to target all 3 spiders with Damnation Susurrus once they are all within 30ft. DC 16 will save.

If we hadn't already teleported, I'd suggest we go split the cost of a scroll of that. As it is, I don't imagine that those penalties will be actively detrimental.

"I'm not really a fan of planar travel, let alone one to a plane I'm not aligned too. Like she said, lets get this over with." Thendros says as he follows along while reading a novel.

"Well, looks like we've full explored sevenfinger's tomb. Let's head back and inform our venture captains about this new development. They might want us to investigate further, or they might send an even more experienced team." Thendros says as he closes the box and starts walking back to the portal.

Where is my plane shifting train for this railroad? lol

"Yeah, it's written in Aklo, but I know that language. All it says is 'Material Plane Resonant'. Any idea what that could mean? If not, maybe the mask does." Thendros says as he holds up the coffer to the rest of the party.

Thendros checks the hidden storage space for anything interesting, especially magical items. Detect magic searching the compartment.

If only we had a 30ft pole to move the tapestry with.

Thendros looks up from one of his books, "I can burn things...Oh hey, Ridley, any of those scrolls magical?"

"So uhh, Mr. Shivers, is there anything we can do for you? I can't imagine you enjoy this arrangement you've found yourself in. I don't think I can restore your body, but we can put you to rest or I can end the magic that has you stuck this way, or at least, I can try to." Thendros says to the mask.

Hearing the mask's words, Thendros detects magic focusing on the various tapestries in the room.

Any knowledge checks for the mask?

Thendros takes great interesting the magical mask, "My, what is this thing?"

any knowledge: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Pokey aims his wand of stumble gap at the creature, hoping that a few holes can trip it up.

DC 11 reflex save or fall prone and take 1d6 falling damage. On a passed save take a -1 penalty on all rolls and checks for 1 round.

Thendros moves into a place where he can see what is happening before casting haste on the party. "Well that's a..." Thendros says as he identifies the creature.

Familiar's action depends on creatures immunities and worst save. Casting haste regardless.

That's fine, I'll move into LOS on my turn anyway.

knowledge: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 Immunities and worst save

The hp gap between my squishy arcanist and your hulking barbarian is quite massive lol. I would die twice before you even went down from hp damage.

Thendros pulls out one of his many spellbooks and rapidly flips the pages back and forth before casting fly on himself.

Quick studying greater thunderstomp for fly and then back for 2 reservoir points and a 3rd level spell slot. I'm not going to make any but the easiest of acrobatics checks.

If it messed up our APL, I can drop out before we start real combat. Zaarah/Noral just told me you guys could use an extra PC and the only PC I have 9 or above is functionally retired. I have a seeker, but he is level 14, so thats out of the range.

By the way, I have the Counterspell exploit and will probably use it nearly any time I'm able to, my normal roll is 1d20+9 to counterspell and my spellcraft is 1d20+12.

Seeing the other pathfinders, "Hello everyone, sorry I'm a little late, but I'm always kept busy in the library. My name is Thendros and this little guy is Pokey." he says as he gestures towards his Pseudodragon that very quickly rambles off a bunch of near gibberish, "SoWheresAllTheFunGuysI'mReadyToFightANecromancerOrSomethingLetMeTellYouDon 'tWorryIMostlyJustUseWandsForThendrosButI'llBeReallyHelpfulIpromiseAndMyFav oriteColorIsGoldOrSometimesBlue."

Pesudodragon is mostly just going to ride on my shoulder since he is tiny, but I'll state if I'm hiding him a familiar pouch. He's currently holding a wand of Ill Omen and a Wand of Stumble Gap.

Pokey whips out a wand of mage armor and taps Thendros with it before swapping back to stumble gap.

UMD: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Thendros then casts mirror image on himself.
mirror image: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

A human carrying a book and followed by a pseudodragon walks into the Venture Captain's office.
knowledge: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

"Sorry I'm late, but I had to finish reorganizing some shelves at the Grand Lodge's library. I saw the notice said something about Sevenfingers? I read a couple books on him, necromancer that likes to make deals with devils. Probably undead since he is over 300 years old. Anyway, whats the mission and where did the rest of the agents get off to?" Thendros says as he reads a Pathfinder Chronicle that mentions Sevenfingers in one hand while skimming his spellbook in the other.

After the captain gives the quick and dirty that the mission is essentially and explore and suppress mission with a time limit, Thendros quickly thumbs through his spellbook for a moment before heading through the portal.

I've already tried posting twice with different alias, but I'll try just leaving the post instead of deleting it.
Nope, still not seeing it. Make sure I'm marked as active?

Wow, I've never seen a 1-2 go high tier since you can only play them once at level 2. Didn't even notice we were high.

This version of Thendros does not have a dayjob (unlike the witch version I originally posted), but I'll just cross out the dayjob gold.

Thanks Noral!

Thanks GM! These evergreens are short aren't they? lol

Lucky crit, just like my blind swordsman too lol

Seeing the red enemy fall before him, Thendros moves over to help with the archer and sends a blast of scathing sand towards the enemy.

No I can't ignore cover, I put cover in my attack as a reminder to boost their AC by 4.

Earth Blast, Slashing, PS, PBS: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 plus/minus cover
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"Now my attack is ready!" vs same guy
Earth Blast, Bludgeoning, PBS, Precise Shot, Cover: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."

Thendros has a target in his face so he will 5ft step back and blast the guy.

"Feel the power of the earth beneath your feet." ...Just kidding
Earth Blast, Bludgeoning, PBS: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage, PBS: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Yep, it makes sense to me after seeing that rogue talent, granted I have seen some abilities that really make me think the writer didn't look at the rules (brutal pugilist, totem warrior). Weird wording on "normal round/turn" though

Huh, I think Sandi is right although I've never even realized it before, "At the start of a battle, before you have had a chance to act (specifically, before your first regular turn in the initiative order), you are flat-footed."

Thendros moves back to cover the other side of the cavernous area.

"Better if I stand watch from here so nothing can surprise us." he says as he watches down the the tunnel.

Thendros levitates the chalk with his geokinesis and has it write "Wiffle" on the board.

"This is my best guess, the gnome left a note saying this was some kind of password after all."
