Valena Imoroa's page

Valena struggles valiently with her dagger before putting it away and letting Kaz and the others smash them to bits.

Does that help our trancified ladies?

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

"Fasincating" says Valena, clearly outmatched in the arts arcane.

"Let's remove those bloodstones then. Unless anyone objects?"

Not wanting to tempt fate, she uses her own dagger instead of the edgy infernel one to start popping bloodstones from their place set into the rock.

Still cackling like she's at the puppet show after a few drinks, Valena steps to her right, draws a Harrow card from her deck and infuses it with crackling electricity, and hurls it at the fetching!

I believe the square she has stepped into has a clear shot with no cover, but if you disagree and there's another square she could have gone into instead without cover, she'd step there instead.

5 foot step, Cackle, Cast shocking grasp delivered via card

Ranged Touch, masterwork, pbs: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 24
Electricity: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) = 12

If during the chaos of fighting for his life, Uthil looks catches a glimpse of Valena, he will find her staring in a most evil manner at him, while also laughing in an utterly unhinged manner.

Evil Eye -2 to AC now (hopefully that makes hitting him easier), followed by Cackling again. DC 15 Will, 8/2 rounds yada yada

Cursing under her breath in the filthiest Varisian when the Fetching moves out of her sight, Valena rushes to the side of the two women.

"It's alright, we're here to help you" , but she's disturbed by their strange trance. She also undercuts her reassurance by cackling like a madwoman

"A ha ha ha, AAAAAAAAGH HA HA HA HA!"

Just Move and Cackle to extend the attack roll penalty, so it should be at 8 or 2 rounds again

"There they are!" Valena shouts, before turning her dark gaze on the Fetchling and laughing most inappropriately.

Evil Eye giving a -2 to their attack rolls for 7 rounds or 1 round on a successful DC 15 Will save. Then immediately cackling so it goes to 8 rounds or 2 rounds if the save was successful

Through chattering teeth Valena works her healing wand until she feels better.

CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 8) + 2 = 12

She waves off Valtyra's offer as she searches the room as quickly as she can, but she can't help but notice her reaction at the axe.

"There's nothing here. We'll have to hope they're in the Biological Oddities room then"

"And that it's warmer in there" She adds, under her breath.

Valena's not bolded, but I'm assuming she's still up. Also on closer inspection I've been counting the enhancement bonus on my harrow cards twice sorry about that!

Shivering and hoping the numb spots on her skin will come back to life at some point, Valena grabs the Alchemist's Fire she pocketed earlier, and hurls it at the beast.

Ranged touch, range increment: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 2 = 20
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

"Golem!"

Valena cries in reflexive terror.

"Ice Golem, electricity slows it and cold heals it"

Despite her fear, she moves carefully across the ice half speed and throws a card at it, imbued with only her regular skill and arcane might.

Thrown card vs. regular AC, pbs, enh: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 19
Piercing, pbs, arcane strike: 1d4 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

"Could the Blackros' have been frozen?"

Valena approaches the nearest ice figure and holds her glowing deck up to it the better to see the occupant. She tries to tell if it could be a Blackros scion.

Unless she triggers some trap or falls on the ice or is otherwise assailed of course!

With a grunt of frustration, Valena echoes Gavirius.

"We will not leave you here, but we must seek out the keys"

To the others, she simply says "To the Storage / Kennels then?"

"What's that water coming from?" Valena says to the group, but immediately turns her attention to the manacles, trying the key from the fetchlings on them, and if that doesn't work trying to find another key on them or anywhere in the rooms.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Valena nods at Valtyra and takes an Alchemist's Fire.

"Likewise."

"Agreed. Slave Cells sounds a likely place for our captives too"

Unable to see Akkina's assailants, Valena allows herself a quiet Varisian curse and moves into the room.

Once there, she turns her dark gaze on the nearest opponent threatening her ally. In moments like this she feels a fleeting connection with something powerful and dangerous. It feels good

Evil Eye on AC on Blue (-2 to AC). 7 rounds or 1 on a successful DC 15 Will save

Valena is annoyed at the fetching for attacking, and she focuses all her annoyance into a raging fire, and then tilts her head down and channels it through her evil gaze.

Evil Eye on AC on Red (so -2 to AC), who is just within range. 7 rounds or 1 on a successful DC 15 Will save against a Mind Affecting Effect

Watching their movements become clumsy, she lets out a full-throated belly laugh, which is most disconcerting.

Cackle, so 8 or 2 round duration depending on their earlier save

Breathing a sigh of relief (but attempting to look unimpressed), Valena resets her wand in her sheathe and starts playing with Harrow cards again.

"Pain Laboratory a good deal less!" she replies to Kaztor.

"Though it seems as good a place as any to find our missing Roses, and if they're in there the sooner the better for their sakes"

"Keep at it, it's working!"

Valena activates her wand on Akkina again, trying to augment the infernel healing energies with more holy ones.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Watching Gavirius' sling be ineffective, Valena thinks better of throwing a sharp card, and instead ejects her wand of cure light wounds from it's spring loaded sheathe into her free hand, and heads to her injured ally.

She thanks dances around the pillar to approach Arkkina from the rear, and taps her on the shoulder while speaking the command word.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Startled, Valena wonders what on earth this might be. She then gets in close and decides what to do...

Knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 18

+10 for Arcana or Planes, +8 for Nature, or +4 and untrained for anything else. It doesn't look especially subject to Mind-Affecting Effects, but if she happened to recognise it and recall that it was, she'd do something different:

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Valena nods in agreement with Valtyra's assesment, and then again at all the impressive spellcasting going on.

There'll be much to learn from such an accomplished group.

She answers Kaztor's question with as much information as she can recall Does she know anything useful about the Shadow Plane?

As she absently-mindedly walks a Harrow card across her knuckles, she looks around the room.

"We have until dawn, and I'd rather not be trapped on the Shadow Plane. Lead on..."

Valena casts her protective spell from a wand before putting away, then on looking at the shadowy museum, draws a deck of harrow cards and casts a simple spell on the box so that it emits light.

Remembering suddenly that she's working with a team today though, she checks with the others.

"I could illuminate some other object instead, Kaztor's hammer perhaps?"

Finally she puts another wand into a wrist-sheathe Cure Light Wounds

Valena is used to relying on her light cantrip for her illumination, so much so that she has nothing else.

Just as a note I have run this one before but never played it. It was a long time ago though and I can currently remember nothing at all about it.

Additionally I have not played much 1E in the last few years, please forgive my inevitable mistakes.

A Varisian woman slides into the briefing just before the start, and stood in the shadows for it. She looks every bit the typical Varisian Harrower, tall and swarthy and with a red scarf tying her long dark hair. She even has an ornate and gilded Harrow deck hanging from her belt, only the armoured skirt and crossbow on her back would mark her out in your usual caravan.

She nods at Valtyra's entrance, and agrees with Kaztor.

"Sick indeed. These woman struck no deals. None should be bound by the oaths of their ancestors."

Knowledge (History): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"I've heard it said the building housing the Museum was built by Razleros the Overwatched to study distant worlds and planes long ago. Perhaps the planar intrusion uses some artefact of the construction to function..."

When they arrive at the museum she'll tap herself with her wand of Mage Armour
