Zelera's page

Zelera was relieved to be back at the town again, as odd as that seemed to her, it had become something like her home and she was glad to see it still there and in one piece. She made her way back to her "office", namely her favorite tree, and clambered up in the branches as Gunoke tooke off to check out what mischief there was to be had in the rest of the town.

When Siofra found her Zelera was speaking with Brownshanks, a satyr with white fur on his lower half except for two long stretches of brown fur down the back of his thighs, who had become her assistant and covered her duties when she wasn't around. "And that's all for now boss lady," he said as he turned to leave when Siofra chowed up. he paused and gave her a lascivious grin as he said, "Hey sweetcheeks, when you gonna let me show you how a real Satyr plays huh?"

Zelera glared at him a bit, it was Brownshanks only downside, his constant flirting with everyone in an obvious attempt to get some action. He was a raunchy goat but good at his job, so she put up with him. Normally she would call him on treating a guest that way but she knew that Siofra could handle herself.

When Siofra was done and Brownshanks took his leave Zelera smiled and invited Siofra to join her up in the lower limbs of the tree. "It's good to see you again and oh do I have a story for you!" She began to tell her friend about their most recent adventures, particularly any specific instances that would let her razz Marten in story and song. She made sure all of them got something Siofra could use to tease them about, including herself, she was equal opportunity after all.

Sorry, for some reason the discussion thread quit popping up for me. Yeah, I'm here and working on a post today. It will probably take a bit but I'll get one up.

Finding the boggarts went reasonably well and dealing with the bringing them around was even easier! It helped they had already dealt with the naga and when they had the head off of the corpse to take back to the boggarts Zelera looked at Gunoke and said, "So, guess what happened when we fought that thing?"

Gunoke looked at it thoughtfully as he examined the remains of the massive naga, not paying too much attention to what she was saying as she came up behind him.

In position Zelera leaned closer to him and said, "She killed me right at the start of the fight before I could react to her presence."

Gunoke was so stunned as he heard the truth in her words, he even forgot to beat his wings and began to fall. Zelera had her hands under him to catch giggling at his reaction. He blinked turned around like some creepy wooden doll, and flew right up in her face yelling, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT [i]KILLED YOU!?""{/b]

Zelera laughed and said, [b]"Exactly what it sounds like. Fortunately, the Lantern King decided my work was not yet done and there were yet jokes to be played. He brought me right back into the fight a few seconds later and we killed the naga."

Gunoke sighed and plopped back in her hands as she muttered, "Our parents are gonna kill me..."

After they had returned to the boggarts and finished things there, they began to talk about their next goal and Zelera nodded with Marten as she said, "I agree, I think the people are more important. The mummys can't be left for long but they can rot a bit longer I imagine."

I'm here, getting caught up today.

That is the wand of cure light all tapped out, and the scroll of cure serious.

Zelera was quite glad teh fight was ober but realized how badly Marten was doing. "Before we go much further we should heal you up Marten." Zelera called on a prayer and healed the of the paladin's wound.

wand of cure light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Is that sufficient for now?'

Zelera was quite pleased more of the skeletons had gone down but they weren't finished yet. With a pair of skeletons close together Zelera called down a pillar of holy fire upon them.

Flame Strike on purple and grey dc ss: 12d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 3, 5, 1, 4, 5) = 51

Gunoke, meanwhile, took aim at another skeleton that was closer to them with a blast of raw force this time.

telekinetic blast as bludgeoning w/EO/pbs @ orange: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 225d6 + 5 + 4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 5, 3) + 5 + 4 + 6 + 1 = 33

With their leader already dead and only skeletons remaining Zelera moved up a bit closer and sent out a pulse of positive energy to wash over the skeletons in range of her causing their forms to start to erode.

Channel Pos vs undead DC 16: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2) = 13

Gunoke took his target, aiming for one in further back, as a small stone was grasped by his power and sent flying at one of the rear skeletons.

telekinetic blast as bludgeoning w/EO/extended range @ dark blue (he is currently above Marten's head still): 4d6 + 4 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 6) + 4 + 4 + 6 = 31

I somehow missed that we had rested, that is a very good thing!

With everyone in close for the moment Zelera took the chance to cast a prayer to aid them all.

Blessing of fervor. She will take the bonus to AC one for now.

Gunoke took off from Zelera's shoulder and flew up higher in the air as high above above Martin's head as he could before unleashing a blast of electricity down at Marten's target.

Gunoke taking the + to hit

electric blast w/eo/pbs/precS: 1d20 + 14 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 324d6 + 4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 3) + 4 + 6 + 1 = 26

Working on a post now.

Zelera listened to what Waffles found with some concern and said, "I don't have any buffs left at this point. I do have a blade barrier so I can try to delay the skeletons on one side. I can also hit a group with flames from above if we get them close enough together."

I have a blade barrier and flame strike ready to go.

Working on a post, I will have it up sometime today.

Yeah, realized that as I started on Gunoke's level up.

Going to take Toughness on her, she'd already died once, so some extra HP is a good thing.

Gunoke is still to come.

Zelera was rather annoyed about that anti-life shell stopping them from getting close to their enemy but there was nothing much she could do about it just then. Zelera moved to Marten and converted some of her magic into healing power to help with the worst of his injuries.

Cure Critical: 5d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 6, 5) + 10 = 34

While Zelera began her spell Gunoke began gathering power. He knew this one was going to hurt but he needed to do as much damage as he could. When he was finished he unleashed a bolt of electricity that lashed out at the bastard with maximum power behind it.

electric blast w/EO/BoF/PBS/PrecS/maximize: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 14 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 25
Gather power as a move to unleash this maximize, using the +2 attk/AC/Saves version of blessing for 37 elec dmg

Zelera was glad she had her blessing up when the barrier suddenly appeared and deftly tried to dodge as she channeled the blessing into avoiding the worst of the damage.

Ref: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 = 22
Having gotten through the worst of the damage she pulsed a burst of positive energy before moving further into the room while pulling her dagger.

channel: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2) = 10

Gunoke zipped further in as well to start working on the bastard that cast that spell! He zipped forward and pulled in the power he needed to launch a stone he grabbed with his power and send it careening into the bastard with enough force to knock the unwary on their ass!

telekinetic blast w/eo/pbs/bowling: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 204d6 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 5, 3) + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 26
Vs full AC
trip on hit: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 2 + 1 = 32

With everyone alive and mostly well now Zelera took to the task of healing everyone as much as she could. That fight had been rough, and she had already channeled on the undead before she started to bring Marten back, so she began to expend the rest on her companions as they discussed what to do next.

channel: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) = 8
channel: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5) = 16
channel: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) = 13
Cure Critical Marten: 4d8 + 11 ⇒ (4, 8, 2, 3) + 11 = 28
Cure Critical Marten: 4d8 + 11 ⇒ (5, 8, 8, 8) + 11 = 40
Cure Critical Marten: 4d8 + 11 ⇒ (4, 6, 8, 8) + 11 = 37
Cure Critical Dusk: 4d8 + 11 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 7) + 11 = 25
Cure Critical Marten: 4d8 + 11 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 5) + 11 = 23

"I can do more if I need to but that should get both you and Dusk largely healed for now Marten," Zelera said. "I can do more once we get somewhere safe and are able to take more time.

All remaining 4th lvl spells are expended for Cure Criticals and all channels are now used up.

Zelera realized just how badly things had gone when her spell did not revive Marten and she felt a sense of loss. He was too good for his own good, and all too orderly which made him a wonderful target for her pranks and it was just not acceptable that he was gone before she had tired of him! She looked at the others and said, "I need time now, keep watch here while I handle this and do not let me get interrupted."

Zelera pulled a scroll carefully from her pack and began to unroll it as she started to read the ritual inscribed upon it's surface. The casting seemed to go on, and on, and on, and on, far longer than a normal spell would and she kept unrolling more and more of the scroll as she went. After ten minutes her chanting rose to a crescendo and the scroll turned into a pure white light glittering like that of a diamond and sank into Marten's lifeless husk.

Refuse to return if you so choose Marten.

Assuming he accept.

Zelera then pulled out a second scroll from her pack and began to read from it. It took considerably less time to complete than the first one but still longer than a normal one. When she was done this one turned into a glow that suffused Marten and he glowed slightly before some of the wanness cleared from his face. Zelera looked up and said, "I can't do anything about the remaining weakness until I can prepare my spells again tomorrow so we should probably rest until then."

Scroll of Raise Dead and Scroll of Restoration have been used.

In that living campaign, a number of years ago, we played a mod that at one point the parties sorcerer, I think it was, got strafed by two red dragons breath attacks that it took two breath of lifes from the two clerics in the party to save him.

In the living campaign I am involved with my cleric managed to get access to the feet that let's you take a spell as a spell-like ability 3 times per day a few times, one was lesser resto (or regular, can't recall which), the second was plane shift, and the most important was Breath of Life. She hasn't really needed them but one of these days they might very well come in handy.

Las tRoundZelera was about to cast a heal spell on Marten but realized it wouldn't work so she did something different. She cast a prayer and bent down to kiss his lips firmly, breathing life into him anew.

Breath of Life: 5d6 + 11 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 5, 3) + 11 = 29

With the Paladin alive once more she called on more the Lantern King's power to heal his wounds.

Heal spell, gain 110 hp.

As Zelera did that Gunoke unleashed a blast of electricity at one of the few remaining zombies.
lightning blast w/pbs/eo: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 + 2 = 274d6 + 2 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 4) + 2 + 1 + 4 = 15

I can fix that, I have breath of life!

Sorry bout that, not gone until next week. I'll get Gunoke's action in momentarily.

I will be off at Gencon starting 7-30 until 8/4.

Zelera moved up behind Marten to get a little closer to the fighting even as Gunoke unleashed another blast, this time of electricity at the undead fighting Marten, though this time he grunted in pain at the backlash of energies tearing through his body. Once he had Zelera pulled on divine energy and sent a burst of positive energy washing over the area, battering the undead with it's effects.

electric blast w/empowerd/prec S/PBS: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 1 = 164d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3, 5, 4) + 2 + 1 = 20+8=28
takes one pt of burn
Channel Positive: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) = 9

Zelera moved up as the rocks came down and made a ramp to reach the skeletons. once she was where she wanted to be she cast a prayer and called down a pillar of divine fire on top of the center of the skeletons.

Flame Strike centered DC 21: 12d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 4, 2, 5, 1, 3, 4, 3, 4, 5) = 37

See the two rectangles for spell area.

Gunoke took flight and began to hover above her where he unleashed a blast of raw force at another of the skeletons purple

tlekinetic blast: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 254d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5, 6, 2) + 2 = 20

I'll be gone from 7/30 until 8/5 for Gencon.

Hearing Mouse scream Valeria quickly cast the first silence spell she had ready. It had been necessary to wait until they knew it was time since the spell would only last so long. She spoke the prayer and put the spell on Marten himself before she drew her dagger and prepared to cast the spell again on Niadroub.

Cast Silence on Marten and draw my dagger. Unless Niadroub says otherwise I will cast a second one on him when I can.

I have two prepared already and could add a third.

Fair enough, and yes, I was referencing that Niadroub. Zelera just doesn't have the magical knowledge to know for sure.

I kind of thought there was an additional check but I couldn't recall.

With everyone finally back to normal Zelera felt herself relax a bit more. As they discussed their next moves she found herself trying to determine how they could deal with that feeblemind effect. It seemed she was highly resistant to the effects due to the divine power that had been granted to her, but she knew even she could be affected, and they would be dead if that happened again.

Eventually Zelera said, "I think there are better solutions to resist the effect of that ability but I don't know what they are and depending on a fairly low level spell against such an effect seem like a poor idea to me." She looked to Niadroub and asked, "Do you know of any abjurations that would block the effect of that ability?"

When they got to the point of talking about going back Zelera began to speak again and said, "Alright, I can get us back, but I can't guarantee exactly where we will come back where we left from. I would guess that going somewhere more familiar would be the better option for a more accurate return. As best I can guess we could come back anywhere within five hundred miles if we try to go back to where we were which would not be pleasant. Alternatively, I can sense a rift in that direction," Zelera pointed towards the nearest rift, "And while it will come out someplace definite I can't be sure what is on the other side nor how long it will take to get there."

Working on a response today, it'll be a bit though

Having made it through the night Zelera finished her prayers and was able to bring two more back from being the mental equivalent of newborns. She made the two choices that seemed most logical to her under the circumstance with Mouse and Vibenia. When she was done with them, she looked to said, "Well, a few more days and everyone will be back to normal. I can only restore two people each day but we will have everyone back up soon. I will give you the same warning I did Martin, do not accept anything from anyone not part of our party unless I give you the OK. We are in the First World and you do not want to risk being beholden to the fey. I also recommend keeping any faiths not directed to the Eldest to yourself, the gods abandoned the First World long ago and it has been a sore point ever since."

With a sigh as she sat down to relax while wiping drool from Gunoke's chin Zelera said, "I can get us back when we are ready, but we will need to wait until we are all better prepared. Those things may still be there when we return, and I can't guarantee we will get away safely again. It was luck that we gathered everyone, and I could shift us away from there."

Post incoming today.

OH, SORRY! That was all going on in Mouse's mind, dreams with her lingering held on desire to be smart intelligence again

It's fine. You thought you were making intelligent conversation. What the others heard is something else. :)

Yeah, what I heard was Taz from Luny Toons.

I take it enough time has passed that I can recover my spells then?

Zelera finally couldn't help it and started laughing a she said, "No Marten, we didn't die, though it would have been close. I managed to get everyone together and shifted us to the First World. I could only heal one of us today so I decided the one best capable of physical combat would be best to protect everyone until we can get them back to their senses." She looked around at the vibrant life around them and said, [v]"We need to keep everyone safe until I can prepare the appropriate prayers to restore them tomorrow. I also can't shift us back for a day."[/b]

Zelera considered what to do next and said, "We need to keep everyone together and safe. Do not let them accept anything from a native without my OK and I would try not to avoid mentioning religion if you can. The denizens of the First World don't like the gods or their servant very much."

Do note folks that I can't restore everyone in one day. I had one heal spell available and I have to wait until I rest or it wears off before I can bring anyone else back.

Zelera finally had everyone together and deftly dodged the brutes attack and, just like that, *POP* they were in the first world. Zelera had to hope they would be safe for a time. She was cautious as she looked around to make sure they were safe and, once she was sure, the first thing she did was cast a spell and then, as it went off and hit Marten with a heal spell, she composed herself and looked at him gravely as she said, "It was a nice run Marten, it seems we have all died though. Well, you are all dead, my patron reincarnated me...again."

Bluff: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Sadly Zelera couldn't manage to keep a very straight face, she never was very good at lying, but she did try.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

I need to touch everyone or hold hands, and I can cast plane shift once per day to go to the 1st World and then back again the next day. It would give us a chance to prepare at least, and time to try and heal up. I believe I can take everyone too.

It may not e that bad actually, I have a possible escape spell that should cut the daemons off from following us and I can heal everyone given enough time.

Zelerea was quite pleased when she realize that the swarms were so easily dealt with. That changed when the ugly daemon popped into their midst and cast their the massively devastating spell on them. She felt the magic claw at her mind and try to rend it asunder...

Zelera Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
Gunoke Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Zlera easily shrugged off the effects of the effect but Gunoke did not and she quickly reached up and gently grabbed him, setting him on top of her head. She began to move closer to her companions as she tried to stay well away from the daemon. She wasn't sure how bad the fight had just gone yet but she knew that the effects of that aura had to be nasty and they may need to retreat. She called out, "Heard everyone Affected towards me!"

Seeing Niadroub moving way back when he realized what the creature were Zelera and Gunoke did the same. She did not call anything out but hoped that the others would begin to back up and try to draw the creatures out of the fog even as she prepared to cast a spell to deal with the swarms.

Readying an action to cast a flame strike when I can see multiple swarms together. I won't cast it until I can get at least two of them, preferably more, in the area. Moving to have some space between myself and Niadoub.

readied Flamestrike (DC 20): 10d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 6, 4, 3, 1, 3, 3, 3) = 31

Gunoke stayed with her, wanting no part of a swarm of wasps at close range, but he did take off and was quickly surrounded by a vortex of kinetic force and electricity, ready to lay into the swarms when he got a clear shot at one.

Readied telikentic blast w/haste/EO (blasts do full damage to swarms: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 1 + 2 = 324d6 + 4 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 6) + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24

Sorry for the delay, luckily Zelera can try to contribute to the damage this time too!

Gunoke flew above the pit and began to rain a series of blasts down upon the trapped golem, staying well above it so that it would not be near it when the pit vanished.

telekinetic blast w/EI 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 304d6 + 4 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 5) + 4 + 4 + 4 = 27

Zelera pulled her dagger and said, "Someone hold me so I don't fall in." She then began to throw her dagger down at the golem repeatedly as it kept coming back to her hand.

+1 returning adamantine dagger 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 211d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Yeah, he usually uses debris that's near by but does carry some tiny sling stones when he needs them.

I had assumed DR would still apply since, sadly, I don't have adamantine to use, though getting him some sling bullets of adamantine would be a good idea for future use.

So I am unsure if the telekinetic blast will work or not since it is force wrapped around an object. My assumption is that no it wouldn't but since there is something non-magical involved the argument can be made that the object delivers the damage and thus would still work.

Zelera was following along and thinking up her next prank to pull so she was a bit oblivious when the fighting started. When she saw what they were fighting her eyes widened in shock and realized she needed to do something before Mouse went splat! Zelera quickly cast a prayer for the Lantern King's blessing in this fight then moved in and to the side while drawing her dagger.

Gunoke, hearing the warning about magic not working on the golem, cursed as he knew there was little he could do against it. "I don't know if I can hurt this thing," Gunoke called out before he tried sending a telekinetic blast at the golem.

Telekinetic blast w/pbs/precS/IO/bless: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 254d6 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 6) + 4 + 4 + 1 + 4 = 24

Zelera considered the issue at hand and said, "If it helps I can change one of you into something more suitable. I am unsure how long the effect will last but it should be able to help us with this problem."

I can cast polymorph any object 1/day as a spell-like ability.
