Yuki lowers her eyes and speaks softly, ”Un fortunately, I do not fully understand the effect that is upon you and I would not want to make things worse than they already are. We must with haste make our way after this woman. And so, we must as well take our leave.”
Yuki gives a slight bow and makes to leave while addressing her companions. ”We must make our way after the traitor. Perhaps once that is resolved He Who Walks in Blood will give us guidance on the situation here. But, I think there may be more pressing matters afoot.”
Yuki takes a moment to consider the magic affecting the elven women.
ID Magic: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (2) + 28 = 30
Use hero point to reroll…
ID Magic: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (11) + 28 = 39
Yuki covers a delicate giggle with her hand. "Elysium you say, we happen to have a portal there in the other room…” Her voice trails off. “You have been so open with us it’s only fair if we help you see the conclusion of this grand showdown. Its so nice to meet people willing to talk to us.”
”My companion here has an excellent idea. I prefer to think of it like dancing, but stabbing is good. As guests in our library, you should definitely get to go first.”
”I think we should definitely take the time to be at full health before we enter the portal. And we should as well take some time to see if we can find what they were looking for.”
Yuki takes a moment to think about where they might be heading in Elysium as well
Recall Knowledge: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (7) + 28 = 35
Yuki strides quickly closer to her allies. ”My friends, he has a tell! He Who Walks in Blood will guide your next strike.”
Yuki casts true target. Everyone may roll twice and take the better on your next attack roll
”Perhaps he will guide my strike as well. Tell me, if nothing remains do you go back to elysium?” Yuki asks before covering her giggle with hand.
Yuki casts disintigrate
spell attack: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (9) + 27 = 36
spell attack: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (14) + 27 = 41
damage: 12d10 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 3, 1, 6, 10, 4, 5, 2, 3, 4) + 6 = 56
Yuki delicately strides down the stairs. She holds up a finger as if to say “Wait for me a moment.” ”I will be right with you sir so no need to be so hot headed about all of this.”
”My healing skills are no match to the good sister’s and I much prefer taking health, but let me see if I can boost my friends so we can finish here and stop the traitor.”
Yuki casts 3-action Heal
5d8 ⇒ (4, 2, 8, 8, 1) = 23
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (11) + 27 = 38
Takes 55 damage
Yuki looks at the foes and decides they should slow down and enjoy life a little
Yuki cast slow (level 6, DC 37) and shield then strides back a little.
Yuki moves into the room. ”Everything was so slow last time.”
She had been hold a scroll of haste from the previous encounter that she never got to…
Yuki casts Haste
”Okay everyone, if we can’t get them to work with us then they are against us! Thanks for staying near, now let’s spread out a little.”
”My companion here speaks the truth, we are not sniping here. This is an issue of us taking care of those who have betrayed oaths they took. Certainly you can see that.” Yuki states. ”There is no attempt at deception here. Just the statement of facts. The one causing your problems is also causing ours. And while it is an unlikely collaboration I will admit, you are not the targer of our ire and I would much prefer to get about the distasteful business of going after one of my own, than fighting you.”
Yuki pauses, hoping her pleas have an effect.
Also hoping that their target really has gone through and the she isn’t just on the other half of the library. Even worse, she begins to wonder if Jacklyn is the one who is in elysium…?
Yuki speaks clearly, to be heard from the hall. ”It is indeed as the good sister says. I guess you could say we are sisters since the mantis took me in and raised me as well and I would never do anything to betray them. This man betrayed them and so did the woman he is.. was.. working for. She is an enemy to the mantis and your true enemy, the one who is responsible for your woes. Allow us to dispatch her and your Elysium will be safe once again.“
Yuki, seeing and opportunity uses her saber one more time. Targeting grey.
”Today’s your lucky day, you get to dance with 2 lovely ladies… there’s a song about lovely ladies but it’s not appropriate for such a sacred place.”
one action strike
Saber Attack: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (11) + 23 = 342d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5) + 2 = 10
Yuki turns her attention to Crystal, ”let’s keep you in this fight a little while longer”
two action heal
5th rank heal: 5d8 + 40 ⇒ (7, 7, 2, 6, 5) + 40 = 67
Yuki scans the opponents and seeing how bloodied they are decides to try and clear the board a bit. ”Let me see if I can get that pesky mantis wannabe off your back Crystal. This place needs a bug zapper.”
cast electric arc on blue and grey
electric arc DC 37 Reflex: 9d4 + 8 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 2, 1, 3, 4, 2, 1) + 8 = 28
If grey is still standing, she will attack him with her sword… strange, it still has the price tag on it.
attack: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (17) + 23 = 402d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 5) + 3 = 14
If he falls to the electric arc she will move around to get closer to her party.
Yuki shifts as the grey assassin’s strike comes in and he misses her.
”Look,” she exclaims. ”Even I get to fight one!” The sorceress leans in and whispers. ”Up close and personal, just the way I like it.”
She feigns blowing a kiss and brushes their cheek. ”People say time with me can be quite draining.”
Yuki casts vampiric feast DC 37 Fortitude Save
Void Damage: 10d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 2, 5, 6, 5, 1, 3, 4) + 5 = 43
Yuki moves into position and casts slow on grey yellow and blue DC 37
”Sigh, y’all should get down, you could fall and hurt yourselves.”
Yuki casts chain lightning then moves up a little bit for some of her closer range spells.
In this order: yellow, blue, grey, red
Chain Lightning DC 37: 8d12 + 6 ⇒ (4, 5, 10, 1, 9, 9, 11, 7) + 6 = 62
Yuki shares Crystal’s evil grin … ”Yes, let’s go take a look and see if we can learn something useful.”
Yuki will switch to detect magic for her exploration activity. To try and catch any illusion, trap, or loot…
”Well this will make fireball more exciting”
Yuki casts true sight on each of us
”Oh, yes we should probably check out this book before we cast and move on. My apologies, I was excited to get after our foe.”
Yuki takes a moment or two to think about the book.
Arcana (Unified Theory): 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (12) + 28 = 40
”now would probably be a good time to cast our defensive magics?”
Yuki maintains the spell (1 action), and uses her hasted action to stride up to the grate (I considered the desk difficult terrain).
Her ears droop a little as she looks at what she has done. ”Oh bother I hate it when I loose things down the drain.”
two actions to cast electric arc
Electric Arc DC 37 Reflex: 9d4 + 8 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 4, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4) + 8 = 35
cast shield, hasted action Stride
Yuki, waits to see if she bleeds, but in the meantime tries to distract her with some poorly told jokes.
Yuki casts Laughing Fit DC 37
Success = no reactions
Failure = slow 1 and no reactions
Crit Fail = Falls prone no actions or reactions for 1 round then Failure
Yuki Recalls Knowledge about the creature; One Action
Yuki's Arcana (L): 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (17) + 28 = 45
[two-actions]
And an oldie but a goodie, Haste on us!
Yuki cautiously peers into the smoke.
Yuki's Perception (E): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31
Yuki also casts Detect Magic.
”I can’t imagine the mistress must go through this every time she goes to the library. But, I respect the level of protection even if it annoys me to get through it.”
Once Crystal has pointed out the runes in the smoke she takes a momento think about the message:
Yuki's Arcana (L): 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (7) + 28 = 35
”I agree, we leave the symbol and thank He who walks in blood for guiding us and perhaps Gorum for giving us a worthy opponent?”
Yuki's Perception (E): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (11) + 23 = 34
”we do have some symbols to lay here. Should we add the ones we’ve collected to the pile?”
Yuki closes her eyes, and feels the magic. She takes a deep breath feeling the presence of He Who Walks in Blood with her as he was the night she met the Blood Mistress.
”Perhaps I can help us get past the trap Saviya has laid for us.”
Casts dispel magic at level 8
Counteract: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (16) + 27 = 43
Yuki steps through the portal.
Recall Knowledge using Unified Theory! (this is the best feat ever…)
Arcana (Legendary): 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (12) + 28 = 40
”I serve He Who Walks in Blood, and have since I was called into his service as a child.” Yuki states proudly.
She is also in Mantis armor with helmet and all
”I do not expect her to come quietly. sister Dianora, would you mind warding us against death while I cast true sight upon us?”
Instead of the Heal scrolls and the telepathy scroll Yuki will grab 3 true sight scrolls to cast on everyone
Yuki Thinks about what spells or items might assist them:
1st Item:
3000 in consumables:
Talisman Reflected Moonlight Fulu
Scroll Haste at 7
Scroll Slow at 6
Scroll Telepathy at 4
Scroll Deathward x 4
(this lasts 10 min so Dianora and Yuki can cast them right before we go into the Library) I figure it could be prudent since she is a cleric and probably likes death effects.
Scroll Heal at 6 x 2
Scroll Heal at 4 x 1
2nd Item:
Wand at 7: Mantis' Grasp
(who doesn't like a little battlefield control)
Yuki takes a moment to think about astradaemons.
Recall Knowledge (Unified Theory)
Yuki's Arcana (L): 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (12) + 28 = 40
Yuki nods. "We tried to be discreet and were following our leads on this conspiracy and were lead to The Brothers. They answered our attempt at Diplomacy with violence. They tried to kill us without even a valid contract just a promise of favors from the leader of this conspiracy. That's pretty damning evidence."
Using the Brothers as Evidence
Yuki's Society (M) to Influence: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (7) + 26 = 33
Yuki smiles at the good Sister's comments. "Is there a conspiracy, yes. Has it affected us, yes. But, it would be unbecoming of us to play the victim card in all of this. That is not our way way. Our way to persevere, adapt, overcome, and get the job done. We trust in our traditions to see us through. Someone is violating those traditions, an attempt to become, Unrightfully, a leader."
"Would the Mantis Speaker have agreed to speak on our behalf if we were in the wrong? They have received several requests which when reviewed together present an interesting situation. One that proves something odd is going on."
Yuki's Society (M) to Influence: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (18) + 26 = 44
Yuki stands straight and looks at each vernai as she presents her case.
”The social contract we follow is one where we trust the contract we are given to be true. But more importantly, we succeeded in the mission, and succeeded in defending our very lives from those who were lied to about us. And, they did not seem interested in taking us in. More importantly, He Who Walks in Blood guided our hands or we would not have been successful.”
”But I wander and stray into theology. Would a rightful ruler have been betrayed by his allies at the point he needed them most. Some of them were powerful and could easily have turned the tide in his favor! The tribes that came to beat their drums in war as he fell did not see him as their ruler.”
To Influence
Yuki's Society (M): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (12) + 26 = 38
Yuki's Society (M): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (2) + 26 = 28
Yuki thinks for a moment about this Golrain individual.
She obviously doesn’t really remember him haha
”Well I for one wouldn’t mind getting there without a fight. We do have information of note to share. And our Mistress will appreciate your support. Tell me, what have you heard?”
The night before they teleport in to the Cathedral Yuki takes some time to reach out into the dream world and attempts to give Saviya some really bad dreams.
"Let me see if i can nudge things in our favor."
NIGHTMARE 4
Cast 10 minutes
Range planetary; Targets 1 creature you know by name
Defense Will; Duration 1 day
You send disturbing nightmares to your target. The next time the target falls asleep, it must attempt a Will save. If you know the target only by name and have never met them, the target gets a +4 circumstance bonus to the Will save.
Critical Success The target is unaffected and is temporarily immune for 1 week.
Success The target has the nightmares but has no adverse effects other than unpleasant memories.
Failure The target has the nightmares and awakens fatigued.
Critical Failure The target has the nightmares, awakens fatigued, and is drained 2 until it is no longer fatigued.
Yuki casts Nightmare. DC 37
Intimidation: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36
Yuki smiles, ”yes, please start talking. The more information you can give, the better your odds of surviving this become. And if they decide you should die I have yet to be convinced to stop them.”
Yuki considers for a moment and adds, ”I will be healing my friend now.”
Cast 2 action heal on Crystal
4d8 + 36 ⇒ (8, 3, 8, 2) + 36 = 57
Yuki catches a glimpse of Shirota hiding away on the far side of the tea house. ”Now now, I can’t let your brother have all the fun.”
Force Barrage lvl 5 at Shirota: 9d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 4, 4) + 5 = 34
Plus 9 more damage because 1 per bolt!
So 43 damage total
"Is our tea too hot for you? Maybe I can turn it up just a little bit more. I can see you hiding back there."
Cast sure strike (v Shirota)
Cast blazing bolt, 2 Action, rank 4
Spell Attack v Shirota: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (18) + 26 = 44
Spell Attack v Shirota (Sure Strike): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (18) + 26 = 44
Shirota Damage (Fire): 8d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3, 5, 4, 3, 6, 2, 3) + 4 = 32
Spell Attack v Zaiho: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (10) + 26 = 36
Zaiho Damage (Fire): 8d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 6, 1, 5, 1, 3) + 4 = 34
Yuki then strides away from Kimmich so they are not adjacent.
”Maybe y’all should slow down a little bit and think of the opportunity you are squandering here?”
Yuki casts slow (DC 36) on the brothers, shield on herself, and then remembers her caster training and moves against a wall.
”Oh how rude! What kind of merchants are you? I came here offering some fine tea and you are trying to set me on fire.There’s an Avistani saying something something wrong horse?”
Reflex: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (13) + 26 = 39
Yuki casts haste on all of us good guys and shield!
She saves taking 38 damage.
Yuki politely explains the situation, leaving out of course their direct involvement. Wishing to know if they know who might be up to such things. And just as with the leshy try to win them to the side of the blood mistress. After all, she has been good for the island and this deceitful conspirator who has such disdain for the traditions cannot be trusted to respect the many conventions in place that benefit merchants such as themselves.
”You see my dear brothers we are living in interesting times wouldn’t you say?”
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26
Use hero point to re roll…
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36
+2 if I can use deception instead.
”But if you must have a name call me Amara for now”
Yuki blushes, covering her mouth as she giggles. ”I am but a concerned citizen of the island of course. I was told that you are in the know of a great many comings and goings and I was hoping you could clarify some tea I have come across. It is a good blend but perhaps sourced in conflict.”
Deception: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34
Yuki will of course continue to speak in code until it is appropriate to stop, Betsy however is not good so will stop LOL
