Umbrato Shawart's page

Got it! Thanks GM.

Thanks for the group all. It was very enjoyable. See you around. :-)

"Many thanks High Priestess." offers Umbrato with a courteous bow. "I dare say, the Society picked a steller group this time. It went much better than I would have expected."

"I'm just glad we were able to cleanse your halls without more loss of life."

Slowly shimmering back into view, Umbrato is still staring at the fallen beasts body. Finally, he turns back to the group. "Wow. Well done guys. I'd like to say I was an integral part of that...but just wow."

Glancing towards the priests, he frowns. "So, are they still among the living or has Pharasma taken them?"

boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Fort, Good Hope, DC 18: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 = 16
Jeez...can ya target my reflex next? :-P
1 negative Level

Feeling his strength leach away, Umbrato growls. "That tears it!"

Quickly reading the arcane lettering on his paper shield, the parchment seems to dissolve in his hand....as does he. Unseen (hopefully) he makes his way into the room.

Greater Invisibility CL 5 - Lasts 5 rounds

Stealth, -1 level, invis, good hope: 1d20 + 19 - 1 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 19 - 1 + 20 + 2 = 45

Thanks Tad, I'll take you up on that. I'm also going to use Lessons from the Past from the Scarab Sage Faction card to add another +5
ReRoll Will DC 21: 1d20 + 4 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 3 + 5 = 28

As the darkness begins to take hold, Umbrato feels something calling him back. A shimmering image of the grippli traveling with them seems to lick his face and the darkness fades as the sticky substance remains.

Blinking a few times, Umrbato looks up at the beast and quickly casts a spell. Simmering glitter erupts from above the beast, raining down on it.

Glitterdust Will save DC 16 from the demon vs blind. More importantly, 5 rounds it can't be invisible

Will Save DC 21: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Well crap
Gonna wait and see if I can act before I do anything

With a shrug, Umbrato moves over behind Hamish. "Alright, then. Whenever you are ready to magic us a door, I'm prepared for it."

'Well as prepared as I can be I suppose.'

Eyeing the tattered scroll he's folded, he ponders the potential battle to come.

Sending his tools floating across the room, he tinkers with the clasp while his companion still holds it. "Should be good now." he mutters after a moment.

Disable Device, tools, range: 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 - 5 = 14
Disable Device, tools, range: 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 2 - 5 = 23

Carefully stepping around and over the debris, Umbrato looks around the room. "Anyone else think this is the calm before the storm? Or is it just me being jumpy? What's in that journal there? Is that clasp locked?"

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 +1 traps

"Works for me. An old companion of mine used to say...Always go left, because evil is never right!"

Good with going west

No worries Aeliah. :-)

Taking the offered wand, Umbrato smiles. "Why thank you miss."

UMD Longstrider DC 20: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Handing it back a moment later, he pulls out a wand of his own. With a flick of his wrist, a translucent shield appears in front of him. "Anyone needing it, you can use this one as well."

Offering a wand of shield to those with a desire/ability to use it on themselves

The small man's mouth drops open. "I...uh...wow. I thought that was a closet."

"I believe we found the true secret down here." he calls over his shoulder before scanning the stairs.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 +1 for traps

"After you." he gestures with a grin, falling into his standard marching pattern.

With a shrug, Umbrato turns to the only other door in the room. "I kind of feel let down...the effort to open that drawer and find nothing of significance..."

"Oh well. Lets checkout his other room."

With a swish of his free hand, he tries to open the remaining door. Cast Mage Hand

Auto Aid Perception

Smiling sheepishly, "The Ebon Wing encourages one to do things unnoticed. I suspect there are many such places in our temples."

"No traps, eh? Alrighty then. Everyone stand back from the drawer, just to be safe."

Once everyone steps away, the small man pulls out his pick set and casts a spell. The set slowly floats towards the locking mechanism as he steadily manipulates them from a distance. After a few moments, a soft *click*. Waiting a beat...he smiles. "Well nothing exploded. Let's see whats inside."

"Well...that's disappointing. Just more papers and writing supplies..."

Disable Device, Tools, Ranged: 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 2 - 5 = 23

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 +1 vs traps
Searching inside the drawer

AoO: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 38 for Piercing: 1d4 + 6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 + (3, 3, 1) = 18
AoO Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 39 for Piercing: 1d4 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10

Thrusting his own blade deep into the beast, Umbrato smiles as it vanishes from the plane.

"Well fought all." announces Umbrato with a smile, his parchment still shaped as a shield. "Hamish, I must say, I've never met a bard like you."

"And thanks for tending to my wounds both of you." he adds with a nod to Hamish and Thad.

Stowing his mithril blade, he tugs a wand free and taps himself with it. "A bit more vitality never hurt anyone."

False Life Wand: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
7 charges left

Making his way to the desk, he begins to look through it's contents. "Shall we see what secrets remain?"

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 +1 for traps

YAY! With the small size and non-standard fighting style, grabbed the bleed for such purposes. I've had a tendency of facing things that don't bleed though. lol

Does it look like the bleed effect worked? Or is it too early to tell? Bleed bypasses DR, if it can bleed.

"I'm ok at the moment...but would you be able to push the bookshelf over on him?"

Looking hard at his scroll blade, Umbrato frowns. "That's a wrinkle...thanks Hamish!" Quickly folding the scroll again, he flats it out and angles a handle backwards. (Turned it into a +2 shield for +3 to AC - Header updated with current AC)

Pulling his mithril blade from his side, he sighs. "I guess this one will have to do."

+1 Mithril Short Sword, IC, Flank: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 20 for Piercing, IC, SA: 1d4 + 6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 + (3, 4, 1) = 19 and the devil would gain 3 continuous bleed on a hit - the bleed I believe happens on it's turn

"Ewww" eeks out of the small man's mouth before he can stop himself. Wiping away the slobber, he smiles. "Thanks Tad. That feels a little better."

Turning his attention back to the task at hand, he carefully casts a spell. His free hand begins to glow with a black light. Reaching out for the woman, he smiles. "Your pain will be a new beginning for me, my dear."

Cast Defensively DC 21: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Touch Attack vs Succubus: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Vampiric Touch: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4) = 11

SR Check, GM ReRoll: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 3 = 19

Reminder GM - Due to my countless eyes buff, I can't be flanked

Rushing to end the Succubus, Umbrato leaps over her. The shadow demon coming into view, he calls out, "It's not real. End it quick and then help me with her!"

Acrobatics - going past Succubus: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Acrobatics to avoid AoO from shadow: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 15 - 2 = 16

Takes me a double move to get there. Stupid diagonals.

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Phew! :-P

K Planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Dangit!

Seeing the shadow beast has fallen, Umbrato quickly folds the scroll into an elaborate blade. Blue energy seems to crackle off the paper as he approaches the shadow wizard.

"Neat trick, but only one wizard can stand amongst these racks and live."

Shocking Scrollblade, IC vs Purple: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 2 = 24 for Piercing, IC: 1d4 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11 and Electric Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
If that hits, scroll takes 1 damage

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
+2 more if counted as a shadow spell
-1 damage

SR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Eh...

"Well that sucks." growls Umbrato.

Reaching into his pack, he pulls a scroll free before casting a spell. Three translucent darts materialize and shoot out from the small man.

2 Magic Missile vs Boney: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8
1 Magic Missile vs Shadow: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

K Planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
K Planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Moving forward, Umbrato cast's his own detect magic and peers around the shelving.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 +1 for traps

"Stand back. It's come kind of negative energy I think...the writing is abyssal daring us to enter."

Whispering some arcane words, Umbrato tries opening the doors from a few feet away. (Mage Hand)

Mivvy I swapped places with you on the map to try this.

Stopping outside the doors, Umbrato tries to assist his companions in figuring out the magic. Tugging a wand free, he taps himself with it.
Mage Armor

K Arcana: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

is the writing above the doors a language?

With a slight shrug, Umbrato silently waits as Hamish cleans up the mess. 'Fighter, Wordsmith, Maid...is there anything he can't do?'

Glancing towards Izlin, he wonders...'Would it be rude to ask him if this reminded him of home?'

:-P

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
K Planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

"Brimstone" mutters Umbrato as he falls into line behind Aeliah.

His numerous eyes blinking as he makes his way down into the darkness, he ponders 'Succubus...maybe...and what else?'

"Thank you for this." replies Umbrato. "I suspect it will be needed soon."

Accepting life pact and ready

"Magical Darkness" echoes Umbrato. "I can see in the dark, but that's about it. Never had to deal with darker light yet..."

Upon waking, Umbrato prepares an additional magic missile. 'If that beast is evidence of what's to come, my standard spells won't be as effective.'

"Have you ever heard the name Graz’ith Ur Maurgith?" he inquires, as he casts a quick spell. The small man sprouts thousands of eyes all over his body.

Casting Countless Eyes

Escape Artist + Liberating Command, Good Hope: 1d20 + 14 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 14 + 2 = 47
I'm guessing that's enough :-P

Growling, Umbrato drops the wand. "Fine then! Lets have at it, shall we?"

Rushing forward as he pulls his own mithril blade, the small man stabs at the shimmering beast.

+1 Mithril Short Sword, Charge, IC+Good Hope, Flank: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 26 for Magical P Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 4 = 11 and SA (if applicable): 3d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 5) = 7
Finally...3 bleed added if its not immune to SA and can bleed

Casting a spell, the small man sends translucent bolts flying towards the beast. Drawing a wand, he steps forward.

SR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Magic Missile Damage?: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) + 3 = 11

Seeing the beast, Umbrato sighs. 'Of course it's incorporeal...'

Drawing a scroll from his pack, he reads it aloud. A light engulfs the most of the small man's companions, though it favors the summoned creature over the druid.

Haste to all of you except myself and Aeliah. Her summons gets it instead

'No alcohol in the hall of Cayden?! She is a stern one!'

"Well, that is certainly a troubling development miss. We shall add it to our to do list then. Would be safe to say we have your blessing then to search the entire facility without encroachment?"

Without waiting for an answer, he turns to the errand boy. "You know where your brother was last seen?"

Sliding out another scroll as he glances back towards the door, he frowns. "It's possible she'd be fine with a direct approach. It's also possible she would interfere with our needs."

Turning to Hamish, he inquires "Are you any good with the fairer sex? Perhaps you could work your wiles on the clergy and gain her blessing for us."

Looking around the room, he smiles. "Looks better in here, but judging by what me ran into outside, I suggest you use caution."

no detect evil from me

"Lets quickly move to the 'Oratorium' while they are all distracted" whispers Umbrato.

Ensuring all are ready to move, he picks his way through the room. 'They said it was just north of the big room so it should be over here...'

went ahead and moved the group to where I think we'd wish to go

Considering his options, Umbrato frowns. 'Most of what I can do in this situation could cause them to perish...no need for bloodshed right now...'

'If I move too quickly, I'll leave someone visible...even briefly that could be bad.'

With a motion to his companions, he urges them to move through if a gap appears. Remaining still, he readies to move forward with his companions.

Stealth, moving invisible: 1d20 + 19 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 19 + 20 = 59

With little more than a nod, the small man opens his scroll box and thumbs through the parchments within. Tugging one out, he whispers "Gather close."

Once all seem ready, he glances around to make sure none are watching too closely. Sure they are safe, he mumbles the arcane words on the page. The sigils fade as he reads...then they seem to fade out as well.

Invisibilty Sphere (Count as wizard CL 5 so no need for UMD on scroll)

"Stay within arms reach of me and we'll be fine. Stay quite and let us hurry."

Stealth, invisible - moving: 1d20 + 19 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 19 + 20 = 47

I have a scroll of invisibility sphere that could get all of us if we stay close together

"However, if we fail to break either, the could be taken as a hostile action. We really prepared to harm the innocent as well?"

Thinking back to his scroll box, he adds "I have a parchment that could make us all unseen...if you don't mind huddling close to me. It's a spherical spell that radiates out from my person."

The wayang's thoughts returning to the threatening of a small beast the previous night, he mumbles "Yeah. pleasant"

Diplomacy (Aid): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10

"If you could just point us in her direction, we'll get out of the way of your...uh...worship." he adds, looking around at the drunkards.
