Eamane

08-29-07, 05:59 PM
OOC: *cough* Her *cough*

Like I said before in the tavern post; Eamane is looking for a wizard's spellbook. Actually.. that's not a bad goal! You can go questing for a specific item if you want, though it's not much different from buying it. So she's looking for a spellbook with mostly lvl 1 spells. (Cantrips are for apprentices! Plus, they make spellbooks ridic expensive. 1,700 gp for a bunch of cantrips!?)

Righto then. I'll do an IC post a bit later today, I've got to get back to class at the moment.

Eámanë has spend some time now in the Arena and watched many fights. The fights which involved wizards always interested her the most for some reason. She knew his powers came from his strong mind but sometimes she saw the wizards reading through thick books full of strange symbols and texts. To better understand this powersource Eámanë spend some time in the Library of the The Arcane Order and asked to the members of the Order dozens of questions about Arcane Magic. She eventually learned more about Arcane Magic than any other Psion would and she believed that she was able to master the powers of Arcane Magic but she needed his own Spellbook. She went over to one of the Taverns in Duken Marina and hoped that some of the folks there knew where she could find an old wizard who didn't used his spellbook all that often so she could steal it. After paying some beers to some of the locals she found out that a lonely wizard spend most of his time in a abandoned tower a few miles outside of Gladius. She traveled to the abandoned tower without problems but the weather seamed to shift. Suddenly a stroke of Lightning ripped through the sky and Eámanë saw the tower on the horizon. She picked up her pace when another Lightning struck a tree between herself and the tower and set it on fire. The illumination that came of the burning tree lighted up a pair of red eyes that stared into her direction. Stepping outside the shadows she saw a rather large wolf. She recognized it as a Worg but it had a devilish look in his eyes.

Questing for the spellbook is fine by me but remember that you can only quest for and item that is equal or less worth than the quest rewards.

If you didn't figured it out you're fighting a fiendish Worg assume you won initiative.

Eamane

08-30-07, 12:35 AM
Eamane freezes for a moment, her heart quailing at the sight of the gigantic beast, infused with other-worldly energy, but quickly regains her nerve by calling out to it in Goblin.

"**** off, filthy litter-runt! I'll feast on your heart."

Inwardly she doesn't expect the bravado to ward the creature off, so her hand goes for the slender tube of crystal she recently purchased for self defense, waiting to see if the creature will come within range of it's stinging energy blasts. Meanwhile, her feet have a mind of their own and are slowly moving her away from the threat.

OOC: Yeah, I figured a book with 8 1st level spells and 1 cantrip would fit. Actually, that might be 15 gp over, but I can pay the excess out of my pocket, no?

Anyways, to translate the IC post; Insult (free), draw dorje of energy ray [enlarged, ML 2] (move), five-step backwards (free), ready to blast the warg with Energy Ray [Elecricity] if it comes within range [60 feet] (standard).
Note: Ray is a +4 ranged touch attack, with a 4 ML for the purposes of overcoming power resistance, 2d6 damage.

Do you want more than one round worth of actions?
Sjiggie

08-30-07, 08:32 PM
The storm continues and the insults directed towards the Worg get lost in a loud thunderclap but still the Worg attacks Eämané. A stroke of lightning lightens up the sky once more and Eämané is shocked by the sight of the creature approaching so fast. She aims her crystal dorje towards the creature and unleashes her own lightning bolt but due to the rain it misses the Worg who stops just in front of her.

http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=forest;a=Name,M,43,63,4 2,63,Eamane;b=Name,M,61,55,45,63,Worg
Eämané ML check 14 vs SR9 succes Ranged touch 6 misses.
Worg double moves closer.

A few more rounds of actions would be better I don't know my acces to internet after the weekend so I try to finish the fight as fast as possible.

I don't know if you can pay from your own gold to acquire a quest item you have to ask MWB or an Elder. Do note that a new spellbook comes with all 0-level spells and plus three plus Int mod 1st level spells so I think you can get some more 1st level spells in it and you need to have a Spellcomponent pouch so you may want to add that to your questgoal ;)
Eamane

08-31-07, 01:50 PM
"Tanjkark!" Eamane curses in Goblin, forgetting to shift out of the guttural tongue as she summons forth a quick burst of energy, manifesting a glowing shield that interposes itself between her and her opponent.

OOC: Well, looks like I'll get a spellbook for free as soon as I level up, so that's fine. Grabbing a spell component pouch is a good idea though, otherwise I wont be able to cast my spells! So yeah, spell component pouch and goldzies will be my goal. And knowledge, always a big fan of knowledge.

This round: Manifest Shield from memory (1 pp, ends in 30 rounds) AC is now 21

Future Actions: Blast it with the Dorje. It doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity, so just blast it and hope my damage output is better than it's. Don't bother standing up if it trips me, no need to give it free attacks. I want to try and avoid using any PP for this battle and most of my powers wouldn't be better than the dorje anyways.

Eämané manifest a glowing shield in front of her to protect himself from the Worg's bite. The Worg jumps forward and the speed surprises Eämané and the bite connects and finds some flesh underneath her clothes. Somehow Eämané resist the heavy pulling of the Worg and remains standing. Now with the Worg directly in front of her she unleashes another stroke of lightning this time she hits the Worg and damages it a bit. The Worg tries to retaliate but his bite misses Eämané. She unleashes another stroke of Lightning at the Worg and hits again but this time the Worg connect again and hits Eämané hard who can barely stand on her feet.

Eamane

08-31-07, 08:49 PM
It is when things seem their darkest that truly extraordinary individuals reveal their true worth. Tottering on the door of death, outside the protection of the Nimbus certainly qualifies as a dark moment for Eamane, one that she illuminates with vivifying lights, her inner resolve manifesting as a sheen of green liquid-light that washes over her form, concealing the injuries she has already sustained with it's stabilizing presence. It is not an odorless liquid though; unique to the smeller however and it defies easy identification.

OOC: Expend Psionic focus to take 15 on concentration check (22 total check vs DC 18) to defensively manifest Vigor at 3 pp; +15 temporary hp for 3 minutes. Hopefully my dice luck for the next few rounds is better than this one, need to get him down more that 13 hp -_-; I have a better chance to hit per round and the same damage output. Damn him and his extra hit points.

Eämané relies on her inner strength to remain standing. But the Worg attacks relentless but misses with his vicious teeth. The rain keeps pouring from the sky and more lightning can be seen. The Worg is too distracted from the weather and can't connect with his bites. Eämané however uses the full effect of the lightning and 2 more bolts of her hit the worg who has taken some serious damage now. Eämané points her dorje to deliver the killing blow but a sudden loud thunderclap throws off her aim and her lightning bolt shoots over the Worg and hits a tree behind it. But the Worg can't connect with his bite either. One more time Eämané points her dorje at the Worg and her power almost seem to fizzle before the eyes of the beast but it finds a weak spot in the Worg's defences and knock the beast unconsciousness.
