Zymir al-Qa'im's page

I humbly present myself for consideration for this mission.

Level 5 Oracle or lore

I had a blast. I've been wanting to platy this scenario for years and I'm glad I was finally able to do so. I think everyone did awesome and I really appreciate the countersong, that was a lifesaver!

Lady Jamila, it was an honor to be chosen to oversee the trasport of such a venerated man. He is as inspiration for all Pathfinders. As for our assistance in uncovering the plot and defeating Gaspar it is you who have earned this victory. You have the respect of me, my fellow Pathfinders, and the whole of Qadira for your brave actions.

At the funeral Zymir, quit taken by Jamila, praises the woman for he cunning and for the mercy she showed Targos Min-Katheer (not in an over the top way but very sincere & respectful). He offers his aid in any of her future endeavors and his sympathy for loosing such a close friend and companion.

Thanks again for running. I had a blast.

Enlarge person takes a full round to cast so Pappy can't pick a target until the he spends a move action next round to complete the spell. (I think he moved this round right?) Also only touch spells hold a charge after a miss.

Zymir calmly moves out of the mist and surveys the battle field. Seeing Du Mer facing off against the dwarf the Oracle smiles and focuses his mind on eliminating the threat.
Hold Person DC 21 (used eastern mysteries to up the DC by 2)

I am out of effective spells to combat these creatures. Does anyone need healing? Zymir asks as he continues to climb

Finally reaching the statues shoulder Zymir singles out the Harpy with blue feathers. DESTROY YOUR SISTER!
Murderous Command DC 18

Zymir will start the long climb up to the top.
Can't update the map at the moment. But he will move as far as he can with a double move.

Zymir shakes his head, moving back to Vasily Your song is the only thing keeping us from being slaves to the monster's song. Let us make sure you stay in the fight. he the says a quick prayer and places a reassuring hand on the bard's shoulder.
protection from evil

Per Command the Harpy can't stand up until next round.
Will: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10 OH COME ON!

The song! I must follow that song!

[ooc]No, prone works. easier for the rest of the party to attack her.

My bad I though it was 5ft per level, Unfortunately I don't have anthing that would reach/work on the red one. I just redirect the spell to the blue.

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Zymir slows regains his bearings as the countersong free's his mind. He nod knowing to odd and points his finger up at the higher Harpy.
FALL! VILE BEAST! Zymire bellows, his words cutting through the cacophony of noise echoing through the vale.
Command DC 18 or the harpy falls to the ground.

Zymire will continue up the path, struggling to keep up with those ahead of him. Move another 20ft forward/up.

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Reroll
Will: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 3 = 13 Well poop
Zymire slowly moves up the steep rock formation.

@ Odd
Save your fervor

A murder most foul. we must find the caravan and make Jamila al-Shafa aware of this dark development.

Zymir retrieves another wand and gently taps Odd on the back with it, Take solace, your actions bring use ever closer to victory.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

@ Nahramon,

Murderous command DC 17

I can heal people if they need it. Just let me know ic

He will BETRAY YOU! Zymir focuses his will on the hobgoblin again.
Murderous command DC 17

Zymir points his staff at one of the hobgoblin archers. Focusing his will he besieges the creatures mind with false images of betrayal. Stories do not deceive, he will betray you!

Murderous command on one of the hobgoblins to the south.

Detestable little vermin. mutters zymir as he retrieves his wand and bless the party, May the legends of old inspire you to a glorious future!

Bless is up +1 to attacks!

Zymir will regale Jamila with his life story. How he grew up the only son of a tailor in Sothis, how is bad knee lead him to his love of stories, how his unique understanding of stories allows his to manipulate reality, and how his unending desire to experience more and more of the world lead him to join the Pathfinders.
He studies Jamila carefully as he speak trying to why she hides her story.

He will also study her features to try and explain her unearthly beauty.

W graciously accept your offer. Zymir says with another bow.

Once settled in Zymir will change into his fancy close and use a dab of his moon orchid cologne before rejoining the party. As the evening progresses Zymir will stay up and share stories with the merchants. He is especially interested in Jamila and tries to converse with her in private if possible. He will ask her about her likes and dislikes, her past, present and future. While an excellent orator Zymir also prides himself as being an excellent listener as well and excellent conversationalist. He continues to laces complements of Jamila into the any topic, focusing on her intellect and wit at first and them moving on to focus more on her beauty as the night goes on.

Greetings and Salutations to you all. I am Zymir al-Qa'im, Chronicler of the Cave of Aroden, Explorer of the Fallen Fortress, uncoverer of deadly mysteries, assistant to both the Noble and Infamous, Sage of the Sands, and Humble Pathfinder. Zymir give the woman and the other three gracious bows. The tales of your beauty proceed you Jamila al-Shafa. It is said that the only thing that surpasses your radiance is your business sense and leadership. It is these qualities that bring us here today. I understand you are a efficient merchant and fear our presence would hinder your operation but I assure you this would not be the case. We are all skilled and seasoned professionals with a wide range of talents. Our company on this journey would in fact be a boon to your caravan. We humbly ask you reconsider, and allow us to join you on this expedition.

Zymir enters the mud shack bowing in respect to those inside. Clearing his throat he attempts to diffuse the tense situation. Idgethun the Silent he says with a soft laugh, Greetings, I am Zymir al-Qa'im, humble Pathfinder. My colleagues and I are hear to claim the body of Venture-Captain Targos Min-Katheer. We do not wish to bring trouble to this sorrowful home but our mission is clear and we must insist that we be allowed collect the remains.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Well met Lady Idgethun, we are blessed to have an agent of Pharasma with up on our journey. Zymer says respectfully as he shakes the woman's hand.

You're number 6

Ah, greeting's Argus. It is nice to see a familiar face in this mission. Zymir says shaking the brawler's scared hand.
I fear you will find the Deserts of Qadir are just as hot as the jungles of Bloodcove, Master Vasily, but it is a dry heat, which I find less oppressive. The people of Qadir are much more hospitable as well. Though nomadic they have a rich culture and finding a new song or adventure, will not be difficult at all. He says with a smile.

I actually have two who said they were interested. I sent them the link but they haven't posted yet.

The well dressed Qadiran leans heavily on his staff as he bows to the assembled party. A small gold pendent falls from his collar and the light glints and sparkles off a the fragment of a ruby clasped in gold as he tucks it back away.

EF, I'm on my iPad until Monday.

Could I get you, or someone to please put Shel down for consideration for The Slave Master's Mirror? Thanks!

I have signed you up as asked Mistress Whispertongue.

Thanks DM! Chronicle sheet looks good and thanks too for the note! Congrats on the boon!

You too Shel!

No day job either.

BE STILL! Zymir command pointing at the priestess
Command DC 17
Halt: The subject stands in place for 1 round. It may not take any actions but is not considered helpless.

Before leaving for the cemetery Zymir will ask Aaqir if he had ever meet Umut before and if he noticed the priest acting strange in anyway. On the way Zymire the tells the group how the priest seems suspicious to him. Her performance of the burial rights before, while accurate, were sloppy and definitely not up to par with someone of her position within the church. I believe she might be an imposer.

Try and keep him alive. I have just stolen his thoughts. I will be able to find out who has hired him but I may still need him to fill any missing details. Zymir says calmly has he starts to sift through the thoughts he has stolen from the assassin.
Round 1/3

Works for me! thanks

@ Shel, she is using different spells so its OK, as long as the assassin is a humanoid and has 4 hit dice or less
@ Thifmar: I'm waiting to see what the GM says in the discussion thread about my Brain Drain but I'd say alive would be better so we can figure out who sent him. My money is on the Priest who did the service or the priest is the assassin.

Treat the knowledge gained as if you used detect thoughts.

I've always read this as I know the Intelligence score and the "Surface thoughts" of the victim as per Detect thoughts.

I know its a pretty vague ability so I expect table variation. Some GM's say I have to spend 3 rounds sorting through the knowledge to get the thoughts. Others say I get them automatically. Others say the reference to Detect Thoughts is more to do with effects that limit the ability (i.e Ring of Mind Shielding). My only argument with this is that if that was the intention it would say "This Ability functions as Detect thoughts" not "Treat the knowledge gained as if you used detect thoughts".

Like I said I'm cool with however the GM rules it, just wanted to put forth my case.

Let us see who has sent. Zymir says as he tries to strip the assassin's mind.
Brain Drain:
Damage: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 3) = 13 +Detect Thoughts - DC17 negates

Looks like Zymir is missing from #3

Zac, It is up to you to get through this door. Zymir says reassuringly patting the man on the back.
