With a huff Nax stalks over the researchers and puts her finger on Tavvar's chest. She looks them in the eye and growls slightly before addressing them. "We were sent by Eando Kline to make sure you weren't in over yer heads with dangerous voodoo magic just like this! If we hadn't shown up when we did you and all your smart lil' friends here would be dead. What's worse these nasty shadow people would be set loose on Absalom and good innocent people might have died or worse! When we get back ta Eando I'm going to tell him to shut you down before you open a hole to ta the Abyss right here in the city!" With that Nax stalks off to report to the faction heads right away.
Nax stands by Arkat, attacking whatever remains of the new shadowy figure that has begun attacking him! Her scales have faded but her claws remain.
She also takes a moment to cast mage armor on herself after attacking, covering her body in a iridescent cloak of magic for the rest of the day.
Nax I buffeted by the blast and immediately flies off the handle. She lets out a bestial draconic roar as her hands turn into dragon claws. [Focus Spell : Dragon Claws] Scales burst all over her body glowing in with an internal fire. [+1 Ac +5 Fire resistance for one round] She rushes acoss the room [Stride] to the dark form and slashes at it violently with her now flaming claws. [Strike]
+3 Dex +3 Trained
"Keep them alive, let us focus on destroying these foul aberrations!!" she shouts to no one in particular.
Nax leans into the ritual with her innate magical ability and throws all of her emotion and willpower into resisting the shadows. The effort leaves her speechless and covered in beads of cold sweat.
The effort doesn't seem to be enough but she keeps trying despite feeling dreadfully out of her depth with this ritual.
Nax gives Guzmond and Aspero a pat on the back when they're out of the hole but seems somewhat disappointed that the house is no longer as interesting as it once was. On the way over the manor her spirits brighten as she considers the fact that they've solved two issues without a single fight! The sorcerous stands in the back of the group as they introduce themselves.
Nax slaps her hand to her forehead as the two fall without the rope attached to them. She rushes over to the edge and looks in to make sure they're alright! Quickly she produces rope from her pack and strings it down into the hole. Walking back into the more secure room she ties the 50ft rope off to something sturdy and also braces it with her own strength to make sure it doesn't allow them to fall again.
Nax gingerly moves around the outside of the room retracing her steps back out into the other room. From this potential safe harbor she shouts her input. "Guzzy makes the most sense to my thinkin'! If there is a source of undead fury down there we don got anyone better than him to solve the problem. Maybe we should collapse the floor first, with everyone safe in here so he doesn't have to worry about it."
Nax follows close behind Aspero but not near enough to annoy him. She keeps her eyes peeled for anything interesting or dangerous.
She seems to be looking at all the wrong places, looking for hidden secret doors and switches that might turn the fire place around like in stories she's read about places like this.
Nax giggles as she sees the disembodied hands and bends down with her magical shield at the ready to try and bend up a floor board that looks especially loose or rotten.
"They're kinda cute! I wonder what they're doing down there?" She is able to put a lot of strength into the board but keeps her attention on the hands incase they come out. She seems intent on capturing one of at all possible for who knows what reason.
Nax finds the right time to slip away from all the discourses of the moment and begins to feast and drink. She is perhaps only slightly less ravenous than the dwarf was and ignores all else as she eats. Part of her assumes this may be the last time she had access to food of this quality and she isn't going to waste it!
Having accomplished one job Nax disengage with the man she was to distract politely. Seeing Arkat swinging his sword around at a party makes her smile in a way that touches her eyes and lights up her whole face. As she approaches him to talk a little sense into him Nax witnesses the barbarian bumping into Ambrus. Realizing that he is trying to distract the man Thernax cartwheels across the remaining space and attempts to catch Ambrus before he spills his drink.
Her display is efficient and manages to stay discreet even with the otherwise revealing clothing. "Venture-Captain Valsin! Forgive us our intrusive introduction but we couldn't miss this chance ta show off to such an respected figure as yerself! Did you like our bait and switch routine? Arkart here is the bait and I'm the switch, though I promise not ta sting you! We've practiced this combat manuever fer months to get it just right eh Arkart?" The sorcerous winks at Aspero across the room and then sends him a look that says, "Save some for the rest of us!"
Nax looks at Arkat and motions to Calisro. With another wink she slowly but confidently walks up to Aaqir al-Hakam, motioning with her hands behind her back for Arkat to be ready. She uses the motion of her body and her exotic look to try and catch the man's attention away from the pirate lord without offending either of them by directly injecting herself into the conversation. [ Hoping her display of cleavage and legs is enough to get Aaqir's full attention the sorcerous waits for his eyes to fall upon her before she smiles like a person who is star struck. "Are you? No I couldn't . . ." Nax forces a blush and turns away as if she is too embarrassed to talk to him, trying to force him to disengage with Calisro if he wants to talk to her.
Thank you for pointing that out! That's what I get for placing my faith in a computer program instead of doing it all myself! I'm going to have to go over this with a fine tooth comb! Thank you both for the feedback :)
I'm a little confused. Herolab seems to think I should have a boon called "Horizon Hunters Champion" is this accurate or should I have to earn this boon first? Do we get any kind of boon for our first PFS2 character like we did with our first PFS 1 character? If you get a chance I would very much appreciate it if it went over my sheet and made sure it is up to your standards. This is my first pBp game (simultaneously with another one that also just started) Any feedback you can give will be most appreciated! My character was built with herolab and the CRB side by side so it should be legal.
"Maybe we're family by way o' a dragon with a thing fer humans? We should make a bet to see which of us start breathing fire in our sleep first!" Nax laughs and takes a closer look at Arkat's skin, grinning when the light catches it just right to bring out the golden tint. She touched it briefly to see if some makeup comes off on her finger and nods when she finds nothing out of sorts. "That seems ta be the real thing! Hopefully yer right and it isn't just some kinda nasty vitamin deficiency. I saw some pretty amazing skin colors on a ship full of scurvy once, none of them were dragon kin 'sept me. . ." With a wink to let Arkat know she is kidding the woman motions to a tattoo on her chestbone just below the very realistic choker she wears around her throat fashioned in the shape of an emerald tree boa wrapping around several tkme. The blue tattoo is the symbol of the Horizon Hunters, and the head of the choker seems to be watching Arkat intently.
A slight but muscular woman with flaming red hair to match her uncontained blazing mirth stops to admire the phoenix trees on her way to the muster point assigned to her. Her clothing for this event is a traditional Ulfen traveling dress adorned with snow fox furs. Sweat gleams upon pale flesh and makes her many blue tribal tattoos stand out all the more brilliantly on her exposed flesh. The dress leaves much flesh exposed but despite that the proximity to the flaming trees is too much for her to take for long. The woman skips along with a song on her lips, waving to and exchanging short congraduations with those she recognizes from training. Though many scars both new and old adorn her flesh she maintains the attitude of a child out for a stroll in the forest. Years of harsh training at the hands her viking chief did little to suppress her exuberant personality and many more years of overindulgence by a doting clan dragon priest did much to exacerbate it! With a hug for a woman who spent countless training Threnax to control her dragon blood she finally arrives to the place she must wait. Her ears have sharp points that reflect her half elf heritage more than any other feature and while she waits she toys with the many ivory rings pierced there. Hearing the others speak she decides to introduce herself as well. "Heil ok sæll! I hope yer all havin' the time o' her life like that dwarf ovr' theres doin'! I'm Threnax Drekidóttir but you'n can call me Nax fer sure! If ye don't take kin to me ye can call me Drek instead I won't mind I swear on my blood!" The woman shakes her ivory bangles and shakes her fingers in a spooky fashion. "I'm a sorcerous if ye can't tell already. The blood of the goodly gold dragon what lay with my ancestors long ago gave me this power! Oh you were a pirate? We have a thing in common then, I spent a long time riding the waves with family before we was separated by fate!"
I did the same thing for the longest time and still do because I'm switching back and forth between 1e and 2e constantly like I'm sure many of you are. I had the same thought pattern Wolfspirit! In the end I decided to stay true to my concept even if it may not be optimal. I like the idea of a dragon blooded Ulfen half elf sorcerer who learns from a monk how to reach her maximum potential. I may change my mind before we begin though.
I'm in the exact same boat. Seems cool but then I think about what I'm going to lose and it doesn't seem so great. Luckily PFS progression is terribly slow with online play so I'll have a lot of time to think about it. That being said once my stats are set they are set, and getting the right stats to mutliclass into monk gives me a hit to everything else. |
