Ven Vega's page

Thanks for running both the Strange Aeons and Starfinder campaigns - I enjoyed both. These APs are a challenge to run via PbP unless everyone is posting frequently, which is hard to sustain.

Ven ties her up. "We'll spare your life if you tell us the truth. What exactly are you planning here under Iris Hill? What's your association with Lowls? Where is he and what is he up to? What do you know of our history?"

Ven detects magic on Melisenn and searches her body.

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Ven backs away and fires his wand again at Melisenn. The archon continues to attack.

Archon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22; ranged touch
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Archon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8; ranged touch
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Magic Missile damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7

Ven will command the archons to continue their assault while he again uses his wand of magic missiles.

Archon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15; ranged touch
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Archon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9; ranged touch
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The lantern archon continues to attack.

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Archon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9; ranged touch
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Ven fires his wand again a Melisenn again.

MM: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5

Ven fires his wand at Melisenn.

Magic Missile Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6

Thanks - Ven sorely needs more offensive capability

Question, Ven recovered a wand of magic missiles from the skum jailer - how many charges does it have remaining?

Ven will hold his action and will magic missile the flying creature the next time it swoops in.

Magic Missile damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 4) + 3 = 12 +2 bleed

Ven moves into the hall and then places the lantern archon within 30' of Melisenn.

Archon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22; ranged touch
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Archon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19; ranged touch
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Using a swift action to assume his dark half, he fires a magic missile at Melisenn.

Magic Missile damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 4) + 3 = 14 +2 bleed

Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Ven pulls out his scroll and casts summon monster iii.

Ven moves to the fissure and looks down. "This appears the only way down."

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Ven shrugs as he relays the information to the others, "Well, not anything useful, really. It was worth a try."

He packs the device up and then turns to Aenian. "I'm pretty depleted on resources, but I feel like we should keep going. What do you think?"

Ven nods and uses the device to ask another question, "What did you discover about Lowls or the hospital during your investigation?"

Ven nods and relays the information to Aenian. "What's a good second question? I'm thinking about asking the corpse what it told Weiralai, assuming that she was the one whom was previously using the device. "

Ven sweats nervously as he struggles to think of a good question for the dead accuser. "How did you die?"

Ven shrugs, "I don't know. Let's give it a try and find out."

Ven attaches the device and turns the crank.

Ven frowns as he inspects the device. "Could it be a torture device of sorts?"

He tries to identify how it works.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Ven nods at the sarcophagi. "I'm not normally one for disturbing the dead, but there may be some information here."

He will first check the sarcophagi carefully for traps. Take 20 on perception..

He then begins opening the sarcophagi one at time and inspecting each one. He saves the one with the corpse on top for last. He will carefully push it off the sarcophagi and will see if anything happens.

Ven nods as he searches the room. "Lowls is certainly complicit in all this, and with whatever our former selves were involved in. He will have to pay for his crimes."

Ven sighs with the relief and then searches the room after detecting magic.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Ven will try another volley of magic missiles.

Caster Level Check vs SR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
MM damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4, 3) + 3 = 14; +1 bleed

Ven launches another volley of force missiles.

Caster Level Check vs SR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
MM damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) + 3 = 13; +1 bleed

Ven again hits her with another magic missile.

Caster Level Check vs SR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
MM damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 3) + 3 = 12; +1 bleed

Ven blasts her with a magic missile.

Damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 4) + 3 = 11; +1 bleed

Knowledge, Planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Ven studies the creature as he summons his dark half. He then moves into the room behind the others.

Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Ven detects magic and then searches the body and then the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Ven again hits the creature with another magic missile.

MM damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 1) + 3 = 10

Ven hits the undead with a magic missile.

MM damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 4) + 3 = 10

Ven holds waiting to see if Aenian and Vaustin can bring the creature down.

I would say your call Dave. I'm happy to keep it going at the current slow pace, but I understand also if we put on hold and pick up later.

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Ven will attempt to identify what the creature is and if it has any weaknesses.

knowledge, religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Ven withdraws to safety.

Ven backs away from the man. "Yes ... of course we have found the yellow sign. Melissen has sent us downstairs to tell you that you are needed above!"

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Ven will scan the space for dangers before investigating the chests and caskets.

I would say descend early morning, before first light.

Ven will search the room for traps or anything interesting.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Ven pokes his head below the attic and listens to see if anyone is around. If not, he follows the others down to the ground level.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Yes, we should each take a shift guarding.

Ven's pale, wide eyed appearance screams "no-way", but he finds himself reluctantly nodding. "Oh yeah, this would be a fine place to rest ... with Nemira. What possibly could happen to us here?"

He finds the furthest corner to spend the evening.

Ven nods, "A gate to where? Carcosa? That doesn't sound good. Can you tell us any more about her patron?"

He turns to Aenian. "We need to stop Melisenn. Likely she's down in the caverns."

Ven shakes his head. "No, we seek to stop Melisenn. Perhaps we may be able to avenge you. What is the Star Stelae? Why is she looking for it? Is that what she seeks beneath the house?"

Ven starts backing away. "Perhaps we should be going now."

Ven nods, "Yes, probably true. Why don't you tell us what really happened with your son? We talked to your older brother in Kerse. We know the truth. We want to help your son. Tell us where we can find him so that we may help him and bring him to justice."

May as well try one more time, since we have more info.

Ven feigns a look of surprise. "What? Lowls lied and actually killed his own mother? I think it's safe to say that there's no limit to the evil that this man is capable of. I can't believe we associated with him."

Ven looks apprehensive when Aenian mentions the mother. "Perhaps she may be more forthcoming if we mention her elder brother in Kerse."

Ven nods grimly and follows Aenian down.

I think you're right.

Ven nods, "Yes, there is a downstairs and possibly a basement complex. Shall we proceed?"

Ven only shakes his head. "Look's like we may need to travel to Caliphas."

He points to the attic. "Probably best to let her be. I could use some time to rest and regain spells."

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Ven hastily backs away from the books and then nods at Aenian. "It must be his mother. No one else calls him Haserton."
