Zim Alula's page

My preference would be to play Zim Alula, newly minted level 3 cleric of Abadar. She's a little snooty and annoyed by swimming because she's bad as it. Not so much on the skills, but good for healing.

Also have Kuikka, a level 1 Paladin of Erastil. Good at charging into things. Not good at noticing the dangers before she does so.

This requires me to remember what my profession is.

Profession banker: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

MASSSIVE thanks to Redelia for jumping in at the last minute to get us over the finish line!

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Zim looks suspiciously at the doll. "What are you? And why are you talking?" Aside to the rest of the team, "Wasn't the ghoul thing talking to it before we came in?"

Don't forget, most of us are sickened. I think Milo and Menudo are the only ones who aren't.

Zim moves up to give Theron a boost. (Inspiring Word - +2 on attack, skill checks, ability checks and saving throws for 1 round) She waves her spear "threateningly" at the ghoul while she's there.

Taking the opportunity while away from the prying eyes of the Pure Legion, Zim holds out her holy symbol and intones a prayer to Abadar. Casts bless on the party. +1 on attacks and saves vs. fear

Zim waits for someone to make the first move.

religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

"She's a ghoul, so be careful."

Moving Iladora to the front of the box, since I'm guessing she'd like to be charging in.

Oooof! I hope everyone gets healthy and deloused soon!

Zim holds her stomach and swallows reflexively. She pulls out her waterskin and rinses out her mouth, trying to hold her nose at the same time. "Save your healing, Menudo. Let's just go and finish this."

"Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, EW!" Zim exclaims pulling out a silk handkerchief which she claps to her nose and mouth as the crosses the bridge.

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Unfortunately, she breathes at the exact wrong moment and spews all over the stones.

I appreciate your time, Redelia! Fast is fine, especially when we're this close to the end.

Ooof, that sucks! I hope things are OK soon.

As she continues to slide around the room, Zim attempts to figure out what's with the skeleton, if it's more than just a basic undead.

Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Zim side-eyes Red, but doesn't make an immediate move against the skeleton. She sidles to the left as the enters the room, keeping a close eye on the gold monster as she works her way around towards the door.

Zim gives Milo an encouraging thumbs up. "You've got this! We believe in you." I hope...

Zim smiles at Iladora. "No problem!"

Zim looks at Milo, assuming he knows how to take care of this problem.

Zim winces at the shrieking door before pulling out her crossbow. She takes a look around the room at the bottom of the stairs.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Zim keeps a close watch on her surroundings.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Or at least, she thinks she does.

"I agree. Let's get that dealt with before the Pure Legion find us," Zim says nervously. She's obviously worried about being discovered.

I can't remember if wands are OK, since there are non-divine uses. If so, Zim will heal everyone up on the way to the cemetary. I'll take averages, if you will allow it.

"I'm not sure where she's gone off to. She ran away when the monster dropped in through the roof!"

Zim follows along with the rest of the party to follow our missing artifact.

I will be off and on this weekend.

Zim sighs with relief as the creature collapses. Thrusting her holy symbol at Milo, she asks "Please take this and hide it. I don't know how much people saw. And I'm sure the Pure Legion is on their way." She rushes over to the group to wrap bandages around any open wounds and any which have been healed (in case there are questions about that).

As she does so, she looks around for the auctioneer and the Shard. "Anyone see where she went? And maybe we should gather up the evidence of what we were here for..."

Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 in case it's needed.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Seeing her companions wounds continue to bleed, Zim calls on Abadar's blessings once again.

healing: 1d6 ⇒ 4

"Just DIE why don't you?" Zim snarls, fed up with these stupid gold things, no matter what size they are. She yanks out her crossbow and closes her eyes, praying to Abadar to grant Red the benefit of his clear sight (Inspiring Word - +2 attacks, skills, abilities, saves for 1 round), even though he's wrong.

NICE shot.

"In for a penny..." Zim mutters as she finally get the glass out of her eyes. She moves to the right and channels again.

healing: 1d6 ⇒ 6

What do we need to identify it? Zim has Religion

glass damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Zim blinks her watering eyes fiercely, pulls out her holy symbol, and calls upon the blessings of Abadar to heal everyone in the room.

healing: 1d6 ⇒ 1 (*sigh* of course)

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Zim, bored by the auction, looks up just in time to get a face full of glass.

If we had gotten guarantees from others that we wouldn't be in competition for the shard, I would absolutely bid on the healing staff. Oh well.

The statue of Ra is 5K, same as the shield, so that wouldn't help.

1 - Bracers of divine range (2,500 gp)
3 - Phylactery of faithfulness (500 gp)
7 - Incense of meditation (1,650 gp) [only if we don't get the bracers]

Then we have 7000 to get the shield.

7500 seems reasonable.

If we can get any sense of who is interested in what with our Diplomacy rolls? I'd like to stay away from that and get the other stuff.

Do we know what the Bracers of Divine Range and the Minor Staff of Healing do?

Not these:
6 - Eldas’s platinum drafting tools (1,500 gp) [for the architect]
4 - Kelksiomedes’s grape trellis (2,500 gp) [probably the gardner]

We want:
9 - Shard of the Shattered Shield of Arnisant (5,000 gp)

In order of desire depending on what they are?
1 - Bracers of divine range (2,500 gp)
2 - Clockwork statue of Brigh (1,000 gp)
7 - Incense of meditation (1,650 gp)
3 - Phylactery of faithfulness (500 gp)
5 - Staff of healing, minor (4,400 gp)
8 - Golden statue of Ra (5,000 gp)

Sorry, I had the impression that it was more important, since you mentioned it.

We have people who are used to looking around. Rolling a secret check to give us a clue would have been something. Makes success at this mission very challenging at best.

EDIT: Also *when* were we supposed to do this searching? When the girl was being attacked by the horse? When the people were screaming for help inside? When we were being attacked by undead? When we were putting out the fire? When the Pure Legion arrived immediately after we got out?

I'm truly not trying to push blame here, but it's incredibly frustrating to get to this point only to have missed critical information.

"That mythical shield bit. I don't know if I believe it, but I just can't pass it up."

Zim offers her hand to seal the bargain, then wanders off to find someone else to bother. (And let someone else chat. :) )

"Oh, are you a builder of some sort? I am new to the area and don't know all the important people yet. Perhaps we could make a bargain to not interfere with each other?"

Perception to notice other stuff about the patrons: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

She also tries to suggest someone (probably Milo) sneak around and see if we can find out anything else about the auction.

Bluff to pass a message: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Zim mingles with the crowds, trying to determine which groups are interested in which items. She approaches Famish, as a fellow gnome, to start with.

"It's such an interesting group of items, don't you think?" is her opening gambit and she smiles winsomely at him.

Diplomacy, +1 if could be attracted to her: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Zim will use up all her channels and convert any spells to healing to get everyone up to full. She will use her wand on Torvad, but not actual spells. Yes, Zim would like to sleep.

Zim will try to help distract the very upright captain to make sure the trinkets are out of the way.

Bluff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Or maybe not

She is happy to try to treat disease for Theron and will heal up anyone who needs it. She will also cast cure light, when we are safe.

Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Zim's head comes up when Theron mentions his injuries. To Milo, "Hold this here for a while longer." She gets to her feet and shakes out her robes before heading to her injured companion.

"Let me check you out, too. We would have been dead without your aid."

Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 (I think this is enough.)

Zim frowns for a moment. Should we say something while the Pure Legion is here... Catching Theron's eyes with her for a moment, she says, "Hmmm, I'm not sure. It's hard to tell with all the injuries."

Bluff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Zim blinks at the site of the blood pooling in the wound. "I think you're right, Milo." She pulls out some more bandages, pressing them to the wound. "Think it's too dangerous for a wand?"

Heal to stop the bleeding, healing kit: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17 plus aids

Can Milo look around for anything of interest we might have missed? Sneak thief and all that.

Zim makes sure her holy symbol is tucked firmly away before she kneels by the injured man, trying to stay on the cleaner side if at all possible. Over the dying man's body, she answers the Legionnaire's question a little abruptly. "We arrived here to find the door locked and smoke coming from the roof. Once we got in, we could hear screams, but when we opened the front door to find the source, we were set upon by a festrog and a mummy. Thankfully, some of my people are handy with a sword, so we were able to get in and rescue folks. Now, if you don't mind, I'm trying to save this man's life."

Zim sets out her bag of tools and rolls up her sleeves. "Can someone help me with this?" she asks wrapping her hand in a clean rag before touching the dagger.

Milo aid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 If you don't mind me rolling
Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 Plus aids, if any

If Zim can see the flames from where she is, she will attempt to put them out. Otherwise, she's staying out of the way.

CMB: 1d20 + 0 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 0 + 4 = 5

Since she doesn't see any more fire, Zim waits for her team to come out, holding her wand ready.

Did Zim put out the fire in the hallway? It's still on the map. She will tag the dying/injured man with her wand if she can as they go by.

Definitely not blaming you. It's a badly rules-written encounter.

Zim casts another splash of water on the fire along the path (or the one Iladora was fighting if the two along the direct route were doused), then moves back into the entry room.

CMB: 1d20 + 0 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 0 + 4 = 17 (Forgot the roll)

I'm mostly annoyed that a spell I can't cast legally in this country doesn't automatically put out the fire. What does CMB have to do with "pour gallons of water on the fire" anyway?

Zim aims another cascade of water at the fire in the doorway, hoping to get it put out finally.

CMB: 1d20 + 0 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 0 + 4 = 9 eyeroll

She takes a quick look around the room behind her to make sure nothing is on fire there and steps back to give folks room to move through the corridor.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Can't win for losing

booooooon: 1d20 ⇒ 15
