Zranashta's page

@ GM: Thank you for running this for us, it was fun.

@ Everyone: Thanks for the roleplay! You all have fun and interesting characters! :)

I would be delighted to play with any of you again.

@GM: You asked for suggestions. I hope you find these helpful.

"You need chill," Zranashta chastises the bodyguard, then casts snowball.

Snowball touch attack, flat-footed: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 4 = 15. I added the –4 penalty for a ranged attack into melee, but Zranashta has concealment, so the bodyguard doesn't get his Dex bonus to his touch AC.
Snowball damage, cold: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 1, 4, 4) = 16

Zranashta takes a step forward and casts color spray (it only affects the purple bodyguard).

Will DC 16 negates

Zranashta casts obscuring mist.

@GM: Nice roll! :) Does the foo dog's hardness 8 stack with its DR 5/bludgeoning? Also, remember that it gained Diehard from my Good Summoning feat.

"Torch like shooting stars? Zranasha asks before unleashing a volley from her ring of stairs and stars. Shooting stars fly from the ring and strike Grandmaster Torch

Standard Action
magic missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9

She then draws a wand from her belt.

Move Action to draw wand of magic missiles

She turns to Draklor and asks in Celestial, "דרקלור, אתה עדיין יכול לתת לנו מראה עשן"

If the answer is yes, then she will use obscuring mist next round.

The foo dog continues growling and again bites at the Grandmaster.

bite attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
bite damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

If the foo dog is hit by an attack, it will use its Stony Defense (Su) ability, as an immediate action, to gain hardness 8 until the end of its next turn.

I will post Zranahsta's turn separately. It might be more involved.

Intelligence: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

"Now my harrow reading for Draklor comes to make sense," Zranashta muses aloud. "Ouidda is Mute Hag, and Torch is Tyrant and Rakshasa."

She is referring to the harrow reading she gave in this very chamber earlier in the day.

@GM: Thanks. Spot delays until Zranashta's next turn.

I will have Zranashta and Spot swap places in initiative.

"What treachery are you two discussing?" Zranashta asks of Torch and Ouidda. She draws two harrow cards and her arms sweep in large circles as she casts a summoning spell.

She will use the Summon Good Monster and Harrowed Summoning feats to augment her Conjurer's Focus ability to summon a Foo Dog. This spell-like ability has a casting time of 1 standard action and a duration of 5 minutes.

Harrow Card #1: 1d54 ⇒ 1 → The Paladin — STR, LG
Harrow Card #1: 1d54 ⇒ 18 → The Demon’s Lantern — DEX, CE

The Foo Dog gets a +4 bonus to both Strength and Dexterity. It also has Diehard.

Zranashta summons a celestial foo dog next to Grandmaster Torch. The dog growls and bites at the Grandmaster.

bite attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
bite damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

If the foo dog is hit by an attack, it will use its Stony Defense (Su) ability, as an immediate action, to gain hardness 8 until the end of its next turn.

Zranashta also took a 5-foot step back.

"Draklor, please. We are not Aspis; we are Pathfinders. Pathfinders not do torture. Right, Grandmaster Torch?"

"Yes. We should make haste back to Pathfinder lodge." Zranashta adds.

"You come with us. No funny bizness!" Zranashta warns, with a thick accent.

For those who can see her, Dorianna makes motions obviously casting a spell while directing her attention directly at Malaz, but it does not seem to have any actual effect giving her obvious frustration.

She can see Malaz through my obscuring mist?

Zranashta produces a scroll from a case on her belt, and she casts see invisibility.

Zranashta casts obscuring mist, then drinks her potion of protection from evil. She nods to the others. "Am ready."

"We should take door with spider markings, no?" Zranashta suggests to the group.

The arcanist pulls a potion from her pocket. "Do not forget have ready potions of protection," she reminds her friends. She also takes out a wand of magic missles.

Zranashta will drink her potion right before we open these doors.

Zranashta whispers to Cuethric, "Take time. Look carefully for more traps."

We should be taking 20 to look for traps. It takes longer, but I don't think we can afford to trip another one.

Zranashta you got anything you want to do/say?

Sorry, I'm following along. It seemed like everyone already has covered all of the bases.

Ok, I misunderstood your objection. :) Thanks for clarifying.

"Yes, friend," Zranashta answers Draklor, "I can cast obscuring mist. You want now or later?"

@GM: Malaz is correct regarding the wand.

Here is the line that you are talking about.

Try Again: Yes, but if you ever roll a natural 1 while attempting to activate an item and you fail, then you can't try to activate that item again for 24 hours.

I've highlighted the part that says "and you fail."

In this case, Malaz did not fail his roll, so that rule does not come into effect. If you have at least +19 to Use Magic Device, you don't even need to roll, because there is never a chance of failure, even on a natural 1.

(Natural 1 is an automatic failure on attack rolls and saving throws, but not on skill checks.)

It looks like we are just moving on. I'm fine with that.

Zranashta uses five more charges from her wand of infernal healing, which after a few minutes will be enough to bring Cuethric, Remmy, and Malaz all back to full health.

Can we spend Prestige? I will happily drop 2 PP for a scroll of 5 of them.

Great rolls, Ijo. If I understand the rules on ability damage correctly, I think that means that neither Remmy nor Cuethric suffer any penalties on Dex-based checks now.

Give one casting to Remmy and one casting to Cuethric. The rest of us can cope. (Or we can send one of us as a runner for some scrolls.)

"Thank stars for Remmy!" Zranashta praises her companion.

DEX is not Zranashta's primary stat. Her AC is going to suck, but she can try to stay near the back. The only place it will really hurt is her snowball spell, which is about the only offensive spell she has left at this point. What I'm saying is: don't put her at the top of the list, but if you've got extra restoration, she'll take it.

Does anyone have any scrolls or castings of lesser restoration?

I do not.

With 6 minutes time and 13 charges from my wand, I can have everyone to within a couple of hp of full health (except for the Dex damage, of course).

@Cuethric: there's no blame. It wasn't anyone's fault with the trap.

However, we are now in a bit of a bind, especially with Ijo down and out.

I don't know about everyone else, but my resources are pretty well depleted. I'm down to 1st-level spells and a wand of magic missiles.

Ijo is on the market for Restoration. He can handle healing once he can use his arms and legs.

Yeah, I know. :/

Does anyone have a wand or scroll of lesser restoration? Zranashta can fake it with UMD.

Zranashta is going to start hitting everyone with her wand of infernal healing. I'm not going to hit Ijo Ibn Son, because he's a paladin. If anyone else wants me to not use the wand on them, let me know.

Prescience at start of turn.
Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 19
I will use that for my Fortitude save vs the poison, for a total of 21.

Zranashta moves and casts infernal healing from her wand on Remmy.

@Remmy: you gain fast healing 1 for 1 minute.

Start of turn, I will use Prescience.
Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 17. I will use this for my Fort save.
Fort save: 17 + 2 = 19.

"I am not feeling well." The room spins for Zranashta, and she withdraws to the dining room.

Move action: move

Beginning of turn, I will use Prescience.
Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Zranashta again uses arcane gestures and ancient draconic words of power to conjures a flurry of snowballs into the spider swarms.

Standard Cast flurry of snowballs. Again, I am boosting the save DC.
flurry of snowballs: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 4) = 15. Ref DC 19 half.

"This is last I can do against spider swarms." Then she draws a wand from her bandolier.

Move draw wand of infernal healing

Beginning of turn, I will use Prescience.
Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Zranashta moves back into the hallway. Once again, using arcane gestures and ancient draconic words of power, she conjures a flurry of snowballs into the spider swarms.

Move Move into hallway
Standard Cast flurry of snowballs. Again, I am boosting the save DC.
flurry of snowballs: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 2) = 6. Ref DC 19 half.

That roll was pretty terrible. lol.

Thanks! I will do that. :)

With a flourish and extravagant hand gestures, Zranashta speaks a few arcane words. Suddenly, a torrent of snowballs leaves her hands, filling the hallway with stinging cold energy.

flurry of snowballs: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 3, 6) = 16. I will spend an arcane point to increase the DC of the spell. Reflex DC 19 half.

Zranashta and spot then back away out of the hallway into the room with the banquet table.

Since everyone is still in the blast zone for my flurry of snowballs, I will continue to delay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Everyone fall back and get out of those swarms!" Zranashta suggests unhelpfully to her friends.

Zranashta (and Spot) will delay until after Remmy. The only thing she has to help in this situation is a flurry of snowballs, but I don't want to hit my allies.

Zranashta follows the rest of the group into the room.
Stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Sorry, I'm still here. I'm reading along, but I didn't feel like there was much for me to do. :)

We will try the same key.

"Cuethric, Malaz, can you please check door for trap?"

"We are not here for playing with corpse," Zranashta reminds her companions, impatiently. "We must find Spider. I suggest we delve deeper into lair." She points at the doors to the east and starts walking that direction.

"Draklor, bring key to Cuethric. Let's see if it opens door." Zranashta says in her dusty accent.

Zranashta wags a finger at her dinosaur familiar, "SPOT! Put that down! Disgusting."

Just checking in. Spot and Zranashta are ready to go. The door that Cuethric chose is good for me.

Zranashta draws a wand, and with a flick casts infernal healing on Malaz.

"Nice work, golden Malaz. I fix you up."

@Ijo: Hopefully between your wand and mine, we will have Malaz back close to full health. :)

It's all of us, right? I'm going to delay until after Malaz.

"Veery nice swing, Malaz! You are not just pretty face." Zranashta grins at her companion.

Way to go everyone! Pour it on!
