Viognier's page

Viognier lingers, providing a rear guard and urging those who are in a battle frenzy to move. "The fight against the Whispering Tyrant will continue. We will need your strength!"

A few times, light bursts from his holy tankard, beating back tendrils of negative energy.

At last, as the storm of death threatens to cut off retreat, the leshy manages a spectacular dive through a closing wall of tendrils, lopping several off with his rapier as he passes.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 2

"I feel certain she and Cayden spend many evenings toasting after their adventures. Yes, let's not leave her likeness in this cursed place."

Viognier flies to Melody and Sayna, taking each leader's hands in their own and raising them high. "We have you to thank for our success. May the rest of our little army be as fortunate."

Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

28 cold damage

Joli flicks his kerchief about and flies toward the beast, lunging at it and sticking his rapier up its left nostril.

AC 23 due to lunge

Once Melody acts, Viognier calls upon the favor of the Star Savior, ruler of Hyrantam in the Sodden Lands. A fragment of the Eye of Abendego's power lifts the leshy up into the air

Fly spell from boon; Air Walk would have been used up during the long lapse of time between encounters.

Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Religion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Viognier looks around at the others, a look of regret in their strange eyes. "The truest evil lives in a people's minds. It cannot be defeated with blades. Only integrity can truly fend it off."

He resumes destroying the stones.

Religion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Viognier moves to flank the dragon, striking with even more flair than usual.

As they do so, Neebs comes rushing in, adding injury to insult.

Viognier continues their assault on the stone.

The leshy steps forward, shifts his hold on his rapier, and begins banging on the nearest stone with an uncanny precision.

Viognier moves forward and up into the air. With a prayer, they bring forth radiant light around the gashadokuro.

Viognier takes out a scroll and attempts to lighten their step again.

Scroll of Air Walk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Striding upwards six feet, they summon forth a shield of force.

Shield of Faith

Viognier uses a channel in hopes of lengthening the life of some wands.

"A cousin tree gave their arm for that, n'est pas?" He smiles in his thick Galtan accent.

Channel: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

-28 + 7 + 22 (4 clw)

Viognier presses their advantage.

"It seems you'll be granting my wish after all. Well, my rapier will, at least."

Viognier advances on "Seelah," swatting away any attempt the demon makes to stop them.

They aim for the creature's spine, hoping to spill the fluid within.

Rapier: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42

Piercing, adamantine: 1d4 + 20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 20 + 6 = 28

Fine, don't crit again.

Viognier attempts to parry the first attack, giving back better than they got.

"For the life of me, I cannot think of a raisin you'd continue this fight."

Will: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 = 23

Viognier takes advantage of the treant's size. They run under its gigantic feet and, with a wave of their scarf, thrust at "Seelah".

Rapier: 1d20 + 22 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 22 + 4 = 42
Piercing, Adamantine, 6 precision: 1d4 + 20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 20 + 6 = 30

"That seems awfully wise, Sayna. Yes, I agree. Until we have more information, it would be difficult to put it to the very best use. Ma'an? What's your name? Would you mind handing the scroll to Lazlo. He'll know what to do once we've researched further."

Viognier asks respectfully, knowing that a vintner doesn't just need grapes to produce an exceptional wine. It's in the barrel, the admixture, the terroir... Yes, Sayna has the right of it.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

"Greetings! Did Shevar give you a name? We all have different opinions here, as is natural. Perhaps he had someone specific in mind... Also, what wishes have you considered?"

Perception: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26

Viognier sits literally wherever it is is.

low bad: 1d100 ⇒ 55
low bad: 1d100 ⇒ 79

Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Viognier steps forward and unleashes the force of a drunken rage on the cyclops.

Viognier flicks the kerchief in his left hand and zooms up the stairs.

Activate blue scarf for reach; 1 use of Agile feet to ignore difficult terrain.

They lunge at the cyclops, going for its eye.

Rapier: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30
Piercing, Adamantine: 1d4 + 20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 6 = 29

Before Narayan turns the insectoid to a pulp, Viognier lashes out.

I need that crit to regain panache!

Will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

They do attempt to parry the first hit.

Parry: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36

Also, Viognier uses a swift action to use the Returning Home boon from Slaver's End to give himself +2 sacred bonus to AC for one minute. I'd also like to use a boon from Heroes for Highdelve that gives me Toughness for this scenario.

Viognier advances on the remaining daemon and thrusts at its left eye cluster.

Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40
Piercing, Magic, Adamantine: 1d4 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22 +6 precision if applicable

Confirm: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 39
Piercing, Magic, Adamantine: 1d4 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23

Viognier moves into the room quickly, striding five feet into the air.

"Cayd, be good for what ails me!"

Cast Shield of Faith

They touch a flagon hanging from their belt and hold their rapier at the ready. A chrysanthemum flower sprouts from its pommel guard — fey beauty in a place of death.

I forgot to mention that their rapier has a living flower on its pommel, thanks to their adventures in the First World.

Then, their form begins to flicker about — Nivi Rhombodazzle having some fun at the Whispering Tyrant's expense.

Blessing of Nivi boon from Corpses in Kalgard — cast Blur as swift action.

Spellcraft v. creepy crawlies: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Viognier gazes at a very pleased version of themself in the reflection. A delivery had come to them as they'd visited Kristoff Valicho at the Silver Spoon Tavern and Inn. They'd enjoyed catching their fellow Caydenite up on the events of the previous day — a raid on the estate of Amynta Ryel to free an imprisoned debtor.

The pair open one of the bottles and trade poems of romantic friendship sparked by wine drunk in revelry and in sorrow.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

... and they move a bit further, getting within lunging distance of the ooze.

Part One

Spellcraft to ID wall: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Viognier approaches the wall...

Will: 1d20 + 11 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 4 = 25

... and tries to move through it...

One move action. What happens? Standard action left.

"Tis a pity. You would make an excellent carafe."

Viognier steps towards the golem* and hammers at its tender spots with the flat of his blade.

Swift action for blunt damage

Rapier #1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27
Blunt, Adamantine, Magic damage: 1d4 + 20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 6 = 29

Blunt, Adamantine, Magic damage: 1d4 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21

Let me know if it's difficult terrain. He'll spend a use of his Agile Feet domain ability to ignore that for one round.

Viognier speeds into the room, flicking their (or "his", not being particular about these things) handkerchief about. Rapier at the ready, they call out,

"If that's not wine in your reservoir, I suggest you turn yourself off."

Swift action and panache point to gain reach for 1 minute.

"I feel fortunate indeed to have mustered with such an excellent troop. Cayd' smiles upon us and offers a toast."

Ever his duty to be the life of a party, Viognier summons forth bubbly into an array of goblets.

Viognier says a prayer and touches Melody with their left hand, deliberately provoking the plant.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12

Their rapier remains poised for payback.

Viognier kips up and steps to the side.

Kip-up deed. Stand as move with no AoO.

"We drink of the cup of Cayd'. We prevail."

Channel Energy: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

Viognier thrusts downward into the crown of the giant's skull.

Viognier flicks the scarf in left hand and stabs down at giant.

Viognier also says,

"Beware! They may sap your life energy!"

Local: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Viognier waits a moment, hoping for a boost to speed from one of the spellcasters (i.e., delay until after either Melody or Lazlo cast haste). They then run into the air, aiming to end up 15" above a giant.

Will use air walk and Agile Feet ability to get up high. Will position once I know whether haste has been cast.
