He shall booyaka your waka, grandma.) (bonus) Alertness (naturally, the squirrel is rather... paranoid.) (3rd) Deflect Arrows (watch out, this squrrel is a bada$$.) Environment: Temperate Hills (In Va'ria's bed. He makes her sleep on the floor.) Organization: Solitary (he annoys people so no one wants to be around him except for Va'ria.) Challenge Rating: ¼ (yeah, he isn't really all that tough. he just annoys people.) These little mammals are aggressive predators but usually confine themselves to smaller prey. The statistics presented here can also apply to ferrets, which are equally as offensive and annoying. Combat: Attach(Ex): If a weasel hits with a bite attack, it uses its powerful jaws to latch onto the opponent’s body and automatically deals bite damage each round it remains attached. An attached weasel loses its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class and has an AC of 12. An attached weasel can be struck with a weapon or grappled itself. To remove an attached weasel through grappling, the opponent must achieve a pin against the creature. Skills: Weasels have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks and a +8 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks. They use their Dexterity modifier for Climb checks. A weasel can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened. Go watch Foamy.

Varie has been around for a while. She has gotten by through treachery and seduction, survived using her cunning and malevolence. Varie and her family have always had disagreements... They never really have gotten along because the rest of the family frowns upon her and her ways... Her nature tends to be rather happy. She is a very friendly person, adept at working to please everyone, but sometimes, she can seem a bit disinterested. She sees things as they are, sometimes through her profession, sometimes not. She disapproves of the disillusioned, those who waste their lives serving their 'deities', and would like nothing more to have worshippers herself. She hates gnomes, for this reason, their love of illusions. She had been living in Talltrees, observing the Elders and their professions. She aspires to become an Elder in the future, though this seems to be a futile effort because of her age and her being a woman. She is close to Indri'ynar, leader of the contingent sent to Gladius. Recently, discovering that her powers were not at full potential as of yet, Va'ria went out into the desert to practice her magics. She returns now, with clouds of rain beckoning the evil in Gladius, and within Va'ria herself, to be set loose... Introduction: "Wait, Va'ria. I do have something you could do for me. There is an information network throughout this area detailing important dealings of inscrutable characters, so that they can be monitored and stopped if needed. An old Blue by the name of Wu Fi'ithis is one of their contacts, a wizard of moderate power. He was a witness to the assassination of the Secretary of Agriculture, and it would be best if he never got to speak. He lives in a wooden cabin by the river. Please deliver this to him." Virgo hands Va'ria a dagger with a wooden handle, scribed upon it a symbol for Jindl of the High Forest. "With this we can kill two birds with one stone. Cast suspicion on our enemies, as well as eliminate a threat." With that, Va'ria traveled to the river, knowing this Blue fairly well. Wu Fi'ithis was an ugly little Blue, but he wasn't to be taken lightly. As she approached the river bed, she noticed the small goblin casting stones into the river. When she neared, he turnedaround and greeted her with suspicious eyes. "What do you want, you vile witch. You treacherous ways are not welcome here."

Sindorin 05-20-05, 03:35 AM	http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/Sindorin/Variasmall.bmpVa'ria simply fluttered her eyelids at the goblin. "I have a present for you, dear friend." She casts Blindness at Wu' Fi'this moves silently forward and to the left 15 feet. Ah, I see you picked my color... I love it...
King Uther 05-20-05, 05:03 PM	Here we go, a good ol' wizards duel: Initiative: Va'ria: 22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92121) Wu: 8 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92122) Va'ria, wasting no time in crushig the hopes of the small goblin, attempts to blind him, eliminating all chances of losing. (Saving Throw: 6 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92123) vs DC 20 Fort, Fail) Then she darts silently forward. (Move Silently: 19+3=22 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92125) , vs Listen: 18+5-6=17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92127) ) Wu's vision becomes blurry, then black. He cannot see a thing! "Curse that witch," he thought. The only thing he could do is what his original plan was. A blast of sticky webs shot forth, encapsulating the area she once was. (Reflex save: 12+8=20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92128) vs DC 16, Success) Va'ria easily dodged the old man's trick. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/Arkazzan/VariaRound2.jpg Wu Va'ria Web effect(goes further south) Va'ria 14/14 AC 13 Wu ??/?? Blind
Sindorin 05-20-05, 05:09 PM	http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/Sindorin/Variasmall.bmpAfter creeping forward, Va'ria smirks. "Nice try, cute little furry thing... don't worry, see no evil, hear no evil. Eteusno maluis nocta furnia," she says as she makes more gestures with the intent to deafen the goblin. Va'ria casts her second Deafness spell at the blue, then moves to obscure her location.
King Uther 05-20-05, 05:22 PM	Va'ria, with a cold stare in her eyes, strikes another malicious blow at the blind Blue. (Saving Throw vs Deafness: 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92137) vs DC 20, Fail) Va'ria then moves from her position, knowing in no way can Wu fnd her. Wu, in a fit of desperation, casts invisibility on himself, then sits as quiet as can be in hopes she will go away or somehow give herself away to him. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/Arkazzan/VariaRound3.jpg Wu Va'ria Va'ria 14/14 AC 13 Wu ??/?? Blinded, Deafened, Invisible
Sindorin 05-20-05, 05:29 PM	Va'ria smiles to herself. A crazy look seen by no one save the invisible fey in the trees, if there truly be one, is in her eyes, and she begins dancing about the clearing in front of cottage. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/Sindorin/Variasmall.bmp"Where did the little goblin go? Come out, come out, wherever you are! Va'rie wants to play!!! she sings as she pirouettes and swings around a tree while holding its trunk. Va'ria will cast Dispel Magic where the blue was, then she will move to obscure her location.
King Uther 05-21-05, 02:13 AM	Va'ria layed a Dispel over the area, trying to flush out her elusive enemy, enjoying every moment of the hunt. In her mind she was simply playing with her prey before consuming it. She danced about, muttered her words, and (Dispel Check versus DC 15: 18+5=23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92246) , Success) Just where he sat he appeared once again, able to be seen by Va'ria once more. And he had no way to know... Picturing the scenery round him in his mind, in a last desperate measure he attempted to move a little and ...(Random roll to where he would go vs random roll where Va'ria will be.) 1 - Shoot East 2- Shoot Southeast 3 Shoot South Result: 3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92248) ) Random movement for Va'ria 1 - North to close for kill 2 - North East to be out of view for his action 3 West because she's random Result 3 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92249) Wu steps forward 15 feet, and lets a Burning Hands spell go. (If Va'ria had rolled 1 on that last roll, she'd have to roll a save) The forest around him began to catch on fire. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/Arkazzan/VariaRound4.jpg Wu Va'ria Fire, of course Va'ria 14/14 AC 13 Wu ??/?? Blinded, Deafened, No longer invisible
Sindorin 05-21-05, 02:53 AM	http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/Sindorin/Variasmall.bmp"Oh my, you do have a temper, don't you! Why don't you want to play with me! Hmm, perhaps you would like to play with Foamy. Here he comes!" Va'ria will cast Shocking Grasp, sharing with Foamy, who will deliver it against the blue who sits there.
King Uther 05-22-05, 12:53 AM	Flying from her shoulder, Foamy takes the shocking grasp and attempts to blast the nerve endings of Wu. (Touch Attack vs. AC 12: 18+5=23 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92635) ) The squirrel latches onto Wu's neck and delivers the charge, making his body convulse into seizures. (Damage: 28 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=92636) ) Wu dies horribly.
Sindorin 05-22-05, 02:36 AM	http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/Sindorin/Variasmall.bmp"Aww... ickle Wu Blue is tired. Sleep tight ickle Wu!" With that, Va'ria draws the dagger with the symbol of Jindl of the High Forest and delivers a Coup de Grace to the already dead and smoldering corpse, and will then put the dagger under the corpse instead of simply leaving it next to him. She then will ransack the cabin, hopefully before the flames torch it.
King Uther 05-23-05, 03:07 PM	Treasure found: 1 Scroll of Vampiric Touch (375gp), 1 Scroll of Invisibility, Greater (700gp), 1 Scroll of Resist Energy (150gp) and 1 scroll of True Strike (25gp), 63 gold and a dagger(who cares). The house goes up in flames, leaving no remains except for teeth and the dagger with Jindl's symbol on it... All items taken at 3/4 vale (937), 63 gold on Wu, +1000gold reward from E.H.T.C. equals: 2000 gold
Sindorin 05-24-05, 01:21 PM	How many experience points does she gain?
King Uther 05-24-05, 02:14 PM	A big fat 1500
Sindorin 05-24-05, 02:24 PM	woohoo *dances*
