'Zhilda''s page

Cуровую cast Scorching Ray in the surprise round.

Forgot to add +2 for Evoker bonus for a total of 25 dmg

For her 1st round action she will move to block the exist and ready a Magic Missile to disrupt any action the cleric may take.

Dmg 2d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 + 2 = 11

Maybe we should save the Silence for the magister. Actually why take risk, use it.

Not to jump the gun but I have work shortly. Please run
Cуровую for a little.

Cуровую will use her 'Zhilda' persona and meet them at the door.

Once she has welcomed the wayward boyfriend officer cadet prospect and the cleric she will warmly ask them to join them in the back kitchen for a small after drinking meal.

She will wait for the signal from Xen then step back to cover any retreat and says 'With warm compliments from an old friend,' she casts a long uncast Scorching Ray

To hit 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

dmg 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 5, 6) = 23

Night 6

Gathering further information on the magister and the patrol leaving in a few days.

Cуровую, in her devout and pious persona, will continue to chat up the one of the officers or sergeants that Xen's drinking buddies normally join up with. She will buy a drink for the man who clearly has such harsh conditions thrust upon him in the wild North. She may smile at the drinking buddies but focus on the officer.

What's your name sir?

Such a brave man of such talents, how could you be single? Why don't you come with me to the play when the bard is in town? You must be so very busy being an officer, here let me get you a drink. Please relax, brave soldier. Your not leaving for a patrol soon are you? The weather seems atrocious.

Cуровую will be coy and inquire if he knows more about the magister, asking because she was once a minor apprentice. Does he have a any known habits or interests? What kind of women does he like?

Diplomacy to get further information on the magister 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Bluff to keep the officer from knowing the intent of my questions 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

This all seems a little heavy-handed for the "devout and pious" persona.

True enough, but Old Mrs. Puffykittens was the wrong persona and I did not know I was going to roll high, perhaps it was her milkmaid persona. And there was a Bluff to go along with it. Can we call it, pious ready for marriage and is looking for the devout 'right man' because time to make pious toddlers.

Anything for Diplomacy 26 and Bluff 30 DM? It seems we are losing days fast.

On day 4, Cуровую will use her wit and charm, which recently took a bruising from being outsmarted by a door, and seeks the dwarves of the Lord's Dalliance out.

She will use the story that she is a traveling bard Hilzda, new to the town and she has long been interested in the dwarven language and old tall tales of the ancient race. She will even use Linguistics to say a few phrases and ask for proper pronunciations.

Hilzda will casually drop mentions of the days of the Barcas, and how they seemed to know the proper way to deal with dwarven people rather than the current ruling house.

How about an ale friend dwarf? Please share some stories.

Surely this proud and noble race has tales to tell, what are they doing here, such gifted artisans must be in demand elsewhere, why remain here?

And oh, I heard several engaging stories, have you heard of the one about Smaug the Golden? How about the dwarven wife who asked, 'WHY DON'T WE EVER HAVE SEX ANY MORE?'

Bluff hopefully with some roleplay bonuses 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 1 = 31

Edit almost as sexy as Xen!

You notice a small chapel in town. It is open and obviously well cared for, but there does not seem to be a priest or cleric present. A few faithful gather for the noon and sunset prayers, but the reader is obviously a lay deacon.

Cуровую in the guise of Zhilda the young milkmaid will chat up the deacon, using her Knowledge of religion to ask leading questions, always making sure that she pretends to know less than she does and uses this time as well to find out about the possible identities of the faithful at the fort.

Like a smart schoolgirl pretending not to understand the lesson so she can hang out with the cute guy at study time.

She will show genuine interest in the faith and the men who preach it.

If there are female of the faithful around as well she will make a point to make time to speak to them in a very sisterly fashion.

Knowledge Religion 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Diplomacy 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27

edit Not bad :)

A middle aged woman who likes cats went into through the gates and maintains a room at the inn. No one saw Cуровую's other persona at those points.

In fact the 'Older Mrs. Puffykittenpaws' will tell the innkeeper that her niece is staying with her so it appears that there are two women sharing a room. Mrs. Puffykittenspaws and Zhilda.

That's the working story for entry into the city and securing lodgings.

Now the day to day activities of Cуровую as Zhilda will be more fluid, based on what we find, but as of now she will not be far from either Jax or Xen during the day, so she won't be without escort. It will not be noteworthy because now that she is inside the town, she's just a regular townsfolk or visitor going about her business.

No, rather once entry to the town and room are secure, Cуровую will drop Disguise Self to take on Zhilda's guise and meet Xen and Jax.

But as far as guards and inn keeper knows, only petite Old Mrs. Puffykittenpaws has now come to Aldencross.

I do believe Cуровую will use her roll above (with additions by hopefully a superstitious sea faring captain and any aid others from the group.

With regards to Morsum

'That thing ... I have heard of them from religious tomes. It is possibly a Revenant of Vengeance, only the death or desecration of a holy priest can bring them forth. Did you strike out at a sea priest?'

Bluff 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Cуровую will aslo cast Detect Magic before going onto the deck, so she is not seen casting. She will try to discern what both the captain's axe and trident are from a safe distance.

'Were it that we met under better skies 'Nimpy.' You can call me 'Zhilda.'

'Do you think you can help our fallen friend here? And as I asked is there anything we can do to help your condition for now?

I did not think you boys were really serious about playing hide the spear anyways. But remember, DM said certain npcs have a weakness, let's just find out what Boneman's is.

Helen?

If Edmin does not have water with him, 'Zhilda' will offer Edmin her wineskin filled with spring water so he in turn can give it to the boy.

How very sweet but uncharacteristic of Bref ;)

What is your halfling name Bref?

-

DM 'Zhilda' had a Heal check of 22 also right after you asked for the check.

'Child take this food and please drink, slowly, you are among friends now - you must have been through a great ordeal - let our healer take a look at your wounds.'

whispers gently to Edmin

'Remember the door's inscription Sir knight. Also, we could make this one loyal ... to US.'

'What is your name good squire? Which knight or Household do you serve? And how came you to this place?'

To the 'halfling'

'By luck is there any food left?'

The younger priest spots Zimu looking out the window. He gives her a shy smile and a wave as the inquistorial visitors get back into their carriage and drive away.

Oh, now I get the roll.

The cheese and milk maid flashes a bright innocent smile.

I would rather all the extra spells go to one person, unless you want to split the buffs. Will the Cardinals spells add to the Glibness?

Judge, I want this one too and offered that you take the next one, and because DM said Edmin would have tiebreaker vote I thought I had it, but if you want we can roll for it.

Or take this one BUT swear in the name of the infernal judge that you owe me one.

:)

'Shall I make for the door?'

This is Cуровую as a redheaded freckled cheese and milk maid.
