Zynep Ravana's page

After a gently rapping, a rap tap-tapping, tapping on Ms. Ravana's chamber door, Zynep opens it while tying a sash around her robe. Not even looking up, she motions to the right and she repeats a well-rehearsed line.

"Luisila is two doors down on the right. I can't help you with your groin strain at this hour. Door doors down, she's your girl."

After receiving a familiar greeting/hrumph/slap across the face, Zynep snaps awake and welcomes everybody into her small hold within the Temple.

"Actually, I do have that spell memorized. I was supposed to help with a new fangled religious service that dealt with handling poisons animals, but minister lost his voice at the lost moment. Last I heard he was in one of the Copper Rooms in the basement getting his tongue worked out. Now let me remember how this goes again ..."

Zynep draws out her tri-daggered holy symbol. She gently lays the symbol on the recipient forearm while asking Calistra to delay any poison that may sting this body. Zynep blesses Luisila last. Unlike the other Pathfinders, it appears Zynep's holy symbol dug as a small stream of blood drips from Luisila's arm.

"Ooops," Zynep says oozing false concern. =v)

"Make sure you pay up at the front. Madam Pamodae has been auditing my books recently. She has this weird notion that my Pathfinder earning should be included in my tithe. If she wasn't half way across the sea ... In any case, have fun storming the dungeon."

I don't know if we can go 1/5ers on Delay Poison Communal or if one person has to pay all. If so, Panfalcon will do so. Otherwise, to the Stacks!

OK, so I dust off Zynep to play a level of Emerald Spire with a friend today. (Honestly, its been over a year) I contacted the VO who is running the whole series, one level each weekend. He says that there was a steady group of 6, but now is down to four, so there is room for myself and my friend.

My friend is playing the level 4 Druid Pre-gen and I play Zynep since Shan is locked up and Zynep needs to level anyways. We get there and the other two players that have been AWOL show up. They give us the stink eye and mummer things like, "I would hate for your to drive all the way up to be out of a game."

I quickly retort that we were the only two that signed up on Warhorn and we just drove an hour to get here. So we weren't going anywhere.

So instead of booting two people who didn't sign up, the barbarian and battle Skald form another group to play a 3 person Way of Kirin. This leaves 4th level Zynep, 4th level Pre-Gen Druid, a cowardly cross-bow wielding inquisitor who is wearing masterwork Leather armor at 5th (wtfomgbbQ!!), and a 5th level summoning wizard.

So guess who was opening all the doors? This girl.
Guess who was tanking the doorway with a 24 AC and 21 hp to make sure all the other squishy PCs could sling spells and fire bolts. This girl.
Guess who was standing in the middle of spinning blades so that channel positive energy can reach everybody while in threat range of PFS's version of the Terminator. This girl.

Not bad for somebody in a mithral chainmail nighty.

But at least she's level 5 now.

Oh Jeez, I just remembered I put my RotRR chronicle on her, but I never printed it out for my binder. So she's 6 now with an ass-ton of money. *Face Palm*

Hey GM. If I can, I'm going to withdraw from this scenario. Some issues came up and I'm going to be out of town Wednesday through Sunday on top of those.

Sorry everybody.

Again, sorry I'm late. I'm all for easing into things. I had a weird last couple of days, but let's get it on!

Sorry I'm late. Boy I'm not going to be able to keep up with you guys.

When morning comes and everybody arrives at the room designated in Skyreach, they are greeted by a lithe, black-haired elven woman seated at the table. The woman is dressed in traditional Varsian gypsy garb with a shawl draped over her shoulders There is a half drank cup of tea to her right and before her she is laying out harrow cards in a 3x3 pattern.

"Greetings darling. My name is Zynep Ravana, servant of the Savored Sting. I sense good energy from this caravan. May our travels be fortuitous and safe."

OK, so it looks like we are only 1/2 throught Part 2. So Zynep will be level 4 for this adventure. I'll make sure she is updated by the end of the day.

What a fabulous idea, darling. I feel my services can be of some assistance.

Zynep will be receiving a cert from part 2 of RotRL free style game soonish. She'll be level 5 with the XP received. I'll update accordingly.

She needs to level up. I kept her at lower levels to help newbies out, but I think that time has passed. The next RotRL cert I get will probably go to her so she can get to 5.

Linnea takes a small step forward and begins swinging her whip wildly in an attempt to intimidate Narris and the Goons.

[dice=Dazzling Display]1d20+16

So is that Luisila, Linnea and Zynep at 0:55 then? Zynep would be the one that fails since she hardly uses her whip.

And it looks like they've mapped out some old stomping grounds.

"Lady" Luisila and I don't threaten with our whips. We have more subtle ways to take a man down.

Des, you and I need to take the Professor to Lost Wages the weekend. He'll be one changed pig ;v)

And roulette is really easy. You put your money on a number. The little man then spins the wheel and ball. The ball will then land on a number which is not the number you picked. The casino takes your money. Rinse & repeat =v).

I'm pretty sure that's a by-product of "being familiar with the Second Darkness AP" though...

Don't be hatin'. =v) Nothing wrong with usin' a little additional resources that one stumbles upon. That's the beauty of PbP.

Don't feel so bad Luisila. I only got 134 gp. I'm sure there is some pent up passive aggressive reason behind it =v)

Well, if I'm gonna go, might as well go out with a bang. Gotta love those moments in RPGs.

Thank you for running Tektite! And thank you everybody for your well-wishes. We'll "party" again soon. Hey-oh! (rim-shot)

What is worse is we are in Raiders land. So not only do we have to deal with their dopey fans, they always have to show on TV the Raiders game instead of an actual good match up.

Day Job, take 10 for 20 Slight of Hand.

I don't think we were outmanned in any of these combats. The swarms could have been bad, but we had an Alchemists ;) Mr. Bug-b-Gone.

*double taps the chest, and throws a peace sign toward Maaarv*

Dodgers baby.

I'm going to bow out on the next game. There are a few projects I need to spend more time on and I'm going on a road trip at the end of October for about 2 weeks. Time to visit the mother land, Florida.

"You . . . shot, me."

"You, Shot, Me!"

She then moves into the empty space between Maaarv and Varg, eyes focused only on Titus.

"YOU! SHOT! ME!"

The priestess of vengeance screams at Titus to his face, unaware of the wraith that he has brought down upon himself. The silvered stinger that lies across Zynep's chest begins to glow. Her body suddenly arches back violently, snapping her head toward the heavens, mouth agape, arms flailed out. A beam of divine energy bursts through the ceiling, reflecting off Calistra's holy symbol and fires a golden spear toward the unknowing crossbowman.

[dice=Spear of Purity, ranged touch]1d20+6[/dice]

Crit Roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Crit Roll, T-Shirt Re-roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Dmg if evil (please,please, please) and critical hit: 6d8 ⇒ (2, 8, 6, 5, 8, 6) = 35

Zynep crawls past the two men and shuffles just inside the door.

"Why yes you do. Are you not happy to see me?"

Zynep then tosses a rusty nail at the human, hoping to freeze his smile in place.

Move & Hold person on the human. Will Save 15

Zynep kneel down in front of Professor Oinkerton. She wets some of her jerky and feeds it to him with a smile. You are just the cutest little cannibal aren't you.

"Snouts, it is time for your to earn your keep. Go in there and vanquish our enemies," she announces partially in jest, partially in seriousness.

Not wanting Omrax to feel left out, Zynep will cast Bull's Strength on the paladin when they are ready to proceed into the tunnel.

Zynep will take a couple minutes and try to pick the door's lock.

Take 20 DD for 26

"Let us proceed. I hope they are not harvesting bodies." Zynep says with a wink and a smile.

"Prisoner? What prisoner?" Zynep says after Cleaver has dealt with our "sleeping" friend.

Zynep casts Bit of Luck on the (charging?) Varg.

Zynep shrugs her shoulders.

"It is only two guards, but if you wish, go ahead. A caster should stay in the secret passage. Ernest would you like the honor? Or maybe Maaarv who can drop bombs. My, what a treat. How often do we get the drop on somebody? Let the liberation celebration begin."

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

"You three go check it out. Scream when you start dying."

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
"Everything looks good here, let's continue on. Why are you casting Bless Luisila?" Zynep whipsers.

She allows Omrax to take the lead through the crypt.

Zynep looks Ernest up and down after that remarks and gives herself a chuckle.

She will then scout out ahead 30'.

Stealth+Guidance: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 = 14
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

"I prefer when you do it al naturale. Become vengeance, Cleaver. Become . . . wrath."

Kid you not, I was thinking, "Maybe if Varg rages against the stele, it would open."

Then, I thought it would be stupid because you can't count on every party having a barbarian or other class with a Rage feature in it. Didn't even think about the potion though.

This reminds me of some of the early D&D 3.0 modules that required you to Channel Positive energy to open a door or by pass a trap.

Zynep, who is proficient in Varisian, tries to make out the inscription. If she is unable to, she will prompt Ernest again.

"Through all those linguistic books you have read up on, Ernest, are you able to understand this language. I have heard your oral skills are unmatched. Come on big boy, show me what you know."

Zynep will put a gentle hand on Ernest as he reaches for his tools and gives him a cool smile.

"Why don't you try to figure out what the inscription says first, darling."

I am sorry my posting rate has slowed down as of late. I'll be going out of town over the weekend. I do have Monday off, so I hope to catch up then.

Cheers.

"Delightful. Who knows what other pitfalls await us in these strange, yet familiar streets. Please, tell us how your evenings has fared."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Continuing to act like the enduring mother you wish you had, Zynep presses them for more information.

"Yes darling. Let us know what happened there. We are the friends of the Twincandles. We want to make sure this turns out well for all parties."

Bluff: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

"Thank you, sister. I was never in any real danger."

Upon looking up and down the people they rescued, Zynep's feigns a look of concern.

"Varg, dear. Hold on to Eun there. He looks like his legs will give out any moment. I am curious as to what happened here. Can you tell us?"

If the swarm is still up, Zynep continues to move the swarm away from the party, casting Guidance again.

If swarm has been disrupted, Zynep will walk over toward the party, then cast Bit of Luck on Omrax.

"Let fortune be blessed to this lustful couple."

I have not played it, but I'll probably bow out. It is sad when I can't keep up with the excellent witty banter we had with the Peoples & Paychecks riff.

"Take care of those two. I will distract the swarm. Maaarv, a few bombs here if you please."

Zynep will step out of the swarm to try and draw the rats away from the party. She'll enhance her chances to avoid becoming nauseated.

Casting Guidance. I don't care if I take splash damage.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

I hope this is not another 'baby toss' ruse. This ally looks familiar.

These saket's are cheaply made. Any Varsian of worth and history has a saket woven of the finest material and made with the greatest care.

Zynep snaps out of her daze, which she appears to be going through more frequently today.

"I did not prepare any poison protection spells today. If we keep Bit of Luck up on our boys, their ability to resist any poison will double.

Let us make way to this Ordellia district. If my cousins have gotten this sloppy, they need to be straightened out."

"If they came this way at all. Maybe this is an inside job. I don't believe we asked about any other workers the Chert's had under their employ. Excuse me if I'm a bit touched of the mind of the moment, but it doesn't seem like much of a motive besides to frame Pathfinders."

"Attacking topiaries. A new line in home defense. Is anybody able to tell which way these bandits went?"

Zynep hikes up her hemline as she crosses the plant depot to investigate the area.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Zynep will try to identify said vial.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Perception if a potion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Zynep will quickly scan the room for magic along with any exits from this room.

"Wouldn't the robbers have left this area already? Jinkies, let's split up and search for clues."

Zynep gently caresses Ernest's shoulders while cooing, "Congratulations, you are hired."

She then turns to Luisila after her sister's request.

"If the trap is in the tree, it may have been placed by the owners. Stay your spells while I take a look."

Zynep will try to find the trap Luisila is pointing too.

Perception + Guidance: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12

If she finds it, Zynep will try to disarm the trap.

Disable Device + Guidance: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12

Zynep, who has be quiet during most of the conversation, slowly makes her way out. She looks around the shop, mentally marking items of worth, then departs.

"Do you know who this missing agent is? Or should we head back to Heidmarch Manor to see who hasn't reported in awhile?"

Zynep, while present, stays in the back with her scarf covering her nose a mouth. Every once in awhile, she gives a little sniffle. Her eyes cry out fatigue.

I don't believe in dots, I'm more of a line kinda gal.

Who the hell is Telda?

Zynep thumbs through Serving Your Hunger.

"I know of some parties in Lepidstadt that would be interested in this."

Zynep channels in all the rooms to give the place that nice refreshing blessed feeling.
