Character Information
·If opponent is a melee attacker, buff AC with mage armor, shield of faith, barkskin,, and shield. Gain cover and shoot at them with Rapid Shot until they close, then switch to two-handed blows with longsword. Pull out heavy shield when shield expires. If their speed is 20 or less, use expeditious retreat to keep things at range.
·If opponent is a ranged attacker, do as above, but add entropic shield, and switch to buckler instead of heavy shield.
·If opponent is a primary caster, don't bother buffing AC. Use resistance and resist energy[i] (if appropriate), and ready to shoot on casting.
·If opponent has very high AC (either naturally or through maximizing cover/prone/etc.), use wand of [i]magic missile.
·Use entangle when possible. Use hold person against opponents with low Will saves. If hold person is used, either cast and base in one round, then CdG the following round with bow, or else just minimize to-hit penalties and rapid shot like crazy.
·Use CLW wand to heal when at half HP or less.

Born and raised in the elven village of Talltrees in the High Forest, Kervan had always felt an attraction to the earth. He could never understand those who failed to realize that life itself was a kind of magic, deep and mysterious. When he was old enough, he sought out a druid circle for an apprenticeship. Although they taught him for years, the druids eventually declared Kervan too flighty and opinionated, and told him they could not accept him into the order. Crushed, Kervan traveled deep into the forest to seek out the magic of nature on his own. What he found was a community of treants.

The treants recognized what the druids did not; that Kervan simply had a different, but equally valid, understanding of nature and its magic. They agreed to teach him themselves, and thus Kervan became one of the rare non-treant clerics of Emmantiensien, the Treant King and sage of the Seelie Court. Hearing of the offensive actions against the Yurynwood Forest in Gladius, he has come to help out in any way he can.

I'm keeping the name Thay from the Red Wizard thing but I'm changing it from the Forgotten Relms. Here, Thay is a concept more than an empire. It has a native and overlaping astral/ethereal city state which is rather small. They think of it as a homeland, a place of origin. But they also think that any relm a red wizard has control of is also part of Thay. They define control as having a base there, so any red wizard in Gladius could claim as much of Gladius as they want (without mentioning to the city unless they felt like it). So most of the time when they refer to Thay, they mean 'all provinces of all red wizards'.

On the whole, the red wizards are the same bunch of slaving, politicing, imperialist, nationalist, isolationist bastards that they are in Faerun. The red wizards here are more spread out, and tend to take over small domains.

Zodiac is definitely evil. He owns slaves. He's a human supremesist. He wants to use the TAO to his own ends. He's hopefull that he can get a teaching postion so that he can find like minded students and form a 'campus club'. From that pool he will pick the best as his followers once he gets the leadership feat and red wizard circle magic (At ECL 9-10. I put the red wizard info on the sheet; under Misc. info sblock).

Zodiac is kind of like a Malfoy (from harry potter), who never had an arch nemesis, so he never developed a habit of risky ventures. He has been sitting on the family inheritence (that he swindled away from his relatives) for 15 or so years, managing the estate. He is very gifted (save DCs of 18 on his 1st lv spells), but only recently has he decided to persue the dedicated study of magic.

Zodiac will be disappointed to find out an elf is running the TAO. If he ever finds out that Vandalar has a tattoo focus, Zodiac will vow to hunt down the traitor that gave V the tattoo.

Z has come to Gladius on advice from his mentor. They know about the nimbus and use it on occasion for resurections, but they don't want to get drawn into the interplanar war to control the place, so they don't come a'conquering. Z's job is to get his spell levels up and find recruits. When that's done, he will build up a city state of his own.

Z's real weakness is that most of his spells only work on humanoids. Undead, clerics, and paladins are his real nemesis. Outsiders and and elementals can be delt with but it's tough. Z takes a direct approach to things. He can't cast illusions (read: invisibility), and wouldn't bother. He wants to find the threat fast and eleminate it with one blow. Then either CDG or poision to finish them off. He is confused by diplomatic tactics, but will play along with bards and such until he gets annoyed.

As a Free Activity, you can use your Intimidate skill to scare one or more allies of your opponent that have an intelligence of 3 or more. Your Intimidate value must be at least as high as (Ally CR + Ally Wisdom + Resistance to fear) to affect him or her (called Courage Value). There are three different effects depending on your Intimidate value relative to the Courage Value:

Scared: Your intimidate skill is at least equal to the ally's Courage Value. Your opponent's ally is Shaken for the entire combat.
Frightened: Your intimidate value is higher than the Courage Value by 5 or more. Your opponent's ally is Frightened for the first 4 rounds, then is Shaken for the entire combat.
Panicked: Your intimidate value is higher than the Courage Value by 10 or more. Your opponent's ally is Panicked and does not appear to the fight.

Multiple Allies: If the opponent has more than one ally, you can decide which ally you want to intimidate. After having intimidated the first ally, deduct the the Courage Value from your Intimidate Value. If you have points left, you can intimidate another ally (and so on) but your Intimidate value is decreased after each intimidation.

Handle Animal: If you also have a Handle Animal value equal to the CR of an opponent's ally, you may also intimidate animals. If you have a Handle Animal value of CR+5 you can intimidate magical beasts and vermin.

Note: If the ally is immune to fear, he is also not subject to Intimidate. If the master has the Aura of Courage (Paladin 3), the ally gains an additional +4 bonus to resist the level check.

Benefit: Add +1 to the DC of your specialist school. You get a +1 to caster lv. checks to overcome spell resistance with spells of your specialist school.
Special: Must have Tatto Focus to participate in circle magic (see below).


Circle Magic

Participation: You must have the tattoo focus feat (see above). One caster with the circle leader class ability stands at the center of the circle of wizards and is called the circle leader. A circle requires at least two wizards in addition to the leader. Up to five wizards (plus the leader) can participate in a standard circle. A great circle can have up to nine participants in addition to the leader. All participants must be within 10 ft. of the leader.

Circle Powers: After one full hour of uninterupted concentration, the helper wizards cast spells. The spells have no effect, and the spell level of all spells cast this way is totaled up and become bonus levels. Each bonus level can be used by the circle leader on the following effects. The circle leader can divide the bonus levels as he sees fit.
Increase the caster lv of the circle leader by one by expending one bonus level. Max caster level is 40. This applies to level dependent variables. This lasts 24 hours.
Increase the caster lv of the circle leader by one by expending one bonus level. Max caster level is 40. This applies to caster level checks. This lasts 24 hours.
Add empower spell, maximize spell, or heighten spell to currently prepared spells. The circle leader does not have to have the feats in order to do this. The spell level can be raised up to level 20, wether the leader has spell slots of that level or not. Each bonus level spent on these virtual feats counts as a substitute spell level for that feats level adjustment. These bonuses last until expended or 24 hours.

02-27-07, 11:25 AM		The meeting had just ended and the Wayfairer had taken Silas and Antayla to the northern Circle, or close enough anyway. Kervan and Zodiac found themselves on horses riding from the TAO Campus through Kailo and Mersia to reach their goal. The Loyalist's diplomat had been moved to offer stabling for the horses in Mersia as a token of good faith for hopeful diplomatic relations. Sophia was located through some light undergrowth on the western edge of Yurynwood. Kervan pondered why the Great Tree had never mentioned these, nor why any member of TLT had never come across them.

The Circles were found in the research vaults of the TAO order from the time Kim'kaleist. While the circles are held deep in tradition of the druidic rights, the collaboration of the TAO and TLT had led to some interesting discoveries that would need to be explored. The two most promising circles were those of Alethea and Sophia. Alethea bordered on the Northeast edge of the Yurynwood and Luna March. With the Swampers to the north pushing south, it was only a matter of time before they might destroy something valuable.

Kervan of TLT and Auburn of TAO had seen use in sending agents to explore the ruins and see what might become of them, or what has already come to pass. Silas and Antayla were selected to explore the northern rings, while Kervan himself had taken to exploring the Western rings, along with Zodiac.

The horses are simply RP side stuff.
MindWandererB

03-01-07, 06:12 PM		Kervan was in a fine mood as he sauntered out on his horse. He took a deep breath and announced, "It's been far too long since I got some fresh air. And I'll feel even better once we get out of this city. Cities are very fine and all, but I do prefer the unsullied wilderness. So, what about you, Zodiac? I've been yammering on, but you've told me nothing about yourself."
Erithmu

03-01-07, 10:56 PM		Zodiac was about to answer when as the pair rounded a tree a singluar bipedal lizard was standing over a kill along with two odd looking creatures. An Extraplanar Salamander, and Ethereal, no Temporal Filchers. Zodiac spoke without thinking and all three creatures looked up and found two more targets.

The horses got nervous being untrained for war, with little effort Kervan and Zodiac found their feet on the ground, but the creatures were closing. Looking up the Filchers blurred through time and suddenly appeared next to the two elves, somewhat disorented, but still threatening.

Round 1:
22 - Temporal Filchers
#1 - D.Door next to Zodiac (Base)
#2 - D.Door next to Kervan (Base)
18 - Zodiac: ???
09 - Kervan: ???
07 - Salamander: (150ft currently)

I have a Final on Monday that I was reminded of this on Wednesday. This Quest is officaly on Fast Forward for the moment.
MindWandererB

03-01-07, 11:15 PM		"Gah!" is all Kervan has to say before the Filchers are on him. He scrambles backward.

Well, that's not good. Without buff time, Kervan is pretty crappy, and I see Zodiac doesn't have a whole lot of options against these guys. I suppose if Zodiac blinds one of the Filchers, I could try to blind the other, but if he fails or does something else, all I can do is put up an Alter Self and hope I get lucky enough to get my AC up a bit higher before they do me in.

@Vath: in the event of a grapple, I can get your back with a Grease if you do the same for me. Hopefully not both of us at once....
Vathelokai

03-02-07, 12:04 AM		"Son of a ..." Zodiac leaps back from the filcher as it shimmers into existance next to him. "Move, naturist! They are stunned for a second when they teleport."

Rules questions: can you dimention door into a webed area? Dimention door says you cannot teleport into a solid body, so it's up for debate. If they cannot, then we could both step back and I could web us in. would buy a few rounds to buff until the salamander showed up.

Other than that, Zodiac is just support for this fight.
-cast blindness on one of the filchers
-cast grease on anyone in a grapple
-cast expid retreat if I have a second to spare
-cast hideous laughter on a non blind opponent
-use scroll of alterself or mage armor on Kervan first, then myself.
-last resort is to use truestrike and fire my xbow
-scroll of resist elements on Kervan vs the salamander

That's all I got. If Kervan has a preference, then the order above can be changed. Cast on defensive if needed. Dimention door states that you cannot take any action afterwards until your next turn; if you rule that they are prevented from taking AoO, then move away and go for cover, usually before casting. Avoid getting hit with a full attack.
Erithmu

03-02-07, 12:09 AM		I would say that they cannot DDoor into a webbed area. Kervan's actions were also a little vague, I don't mind colorful roleplay as long as I get an Sblock with very definitive actions.
MindWandererB

03-02-07, 01:11 AM		Once Web is up, start with Spiritual Weapon on the salamander. Then I need AC buffs; that's Alter Self, Mage Armor (unless Zodiac puts it on me himself), Barkskin, and Shield of Faith. At that point, I'll need to assess timing; put up Divine Favor if melee is not imminent, then use Magic Weapon from a scroll on my longsword, with which I will attack the salamander. I can also afford to dump a lot of spell slots on healing if necessary; I'd prefer to make that judgment on the fly rather than making a tactic for it.

Is that specific enough, at least for the first several rounds?
Vathelokai

03-02-07, 02:10 AM		so move back, web, blindness on a filcher, expid retreat while drawing scroll, scrolls of alterself/magearmor/resist energy, hideous laughter on the salamander before it can burn the webs, grease on Kervan, grease on self, dismiss webs, stay out of melee while reading truestrike scrolls and shooting xbow bolts. Assist Kervan in anything he asks for.

Note: this is the last fight of Zodiacs cycle, so he gets some 'downtime' after this fight I believe.
Erithmu

03-02-07, 10:48 AM		Encasing themselves in protective webbing the pair of spellcasters began a metamorphosis. While the Filchers stood waiting outside the webs, the Salamander suddenly found something to be very funny, and laughed for a time.

Not quite sure where you would like to go, but that is how things fell during buffing
MindWandererB

03-02-07, 08:21 PM		I'd like to use a PoP to recall Spiritual Weapon in round 7, putting the Divine Favor off until round 8, to cast it as soon as the Webs fall. Then Magic Weapon and melee the Salamander until I get fairly hurt.

I imagine Zodiac would rather have put off Grease until later, too.

Edit: BTW, Kervan is a troglodyte, Silis is a lizardfolk. Get your reptiles straight. :)
Vathelokai

03-03-07, 01:23 AM		"You know Kervan, we havn't know each other a day, but I think I should thank you in advance for saving my skin. Ready?" Zodiac finds a clear spot in the web and readies to make the motions to dismiss the spell...
Yes, grease was to be the last buff before dropping the web, since it has the shortest durration. But I have a second one, and can just do it again in a few rounds. Was intending to dismiss web (standard), flee (move). Then next round draw scroll and move, then cast scroll (truestrike) and move, then fire xbow and move, etc.
MindWandererB

03-03-07, 03:38 AM		"Funny, I was just about to say the same thing! We can both thank each other if we do come out of this with our skins intact!"
Erithmu

03-03-07, 10:22 AM		Zodiac released the web and was quick to allow Kervan to face the foes. The two Filchers moved in but could not penetrate the clerics defenses. So too the Salamander moved in. Kervan landed a blow which sent the Salamander looking to his potion belt, from which he stepped back and quickly quaffed one, Kervan kept the pressure with another blow. The salamander attacked back with a flurry of blows, but none found their mark. Zodiac worked his magic into his crossbow and managed to hit one of the Filchers. This however drew the attention of the Filcher, who suddenly appeared right next to him.

Round 7:
18 - Zodiac: Grease on Kervan (Pass) Switch w/ Round 7
09 - Kervan: Divine Favor (Pass) Recalls Spiritual Weapon

03-03-07, 10:38 AM		"Good puppy! Keep on folowing me." Zodiac swings with a claw at the teleporting filcher then uses his enhanced speed to get away. In the few seconds he finds while running he tries to reload and fire another perfect shot.

regular attack then move, since it's busy with dimention door (I'm so imagining a star trek style 'slow' teleport here). Try to keep them chasing me. Secondary concern is reload/truestrike/fire.
MindWandererB

03-03-07, 05:22 PM		I'm happy with things so far. Keep doing what I'm doing until Magic Weapon wears off or the status quo changes.
Erithmu

03-04-07, 10:24 AM		Zodiac begins to play a game of tag with his Temporal filcher while Kervan continues to battle with the Salamander trading 1 swing for four from the Salamander and seven from the filcher next to him. Zodiac begins to realize he can't win this game of tag and switches to a game of keep away. Kervan manages to land a solid blow, but the Salamander's spear finally penetrates his defenses. Both Troglodytes are bleeding, but still have some fight left in them.

Sala (xx-46) (Haste 17)Since this is your last fight you get to 'purchase stuff' but I dont think you have time to craft. If you have a list of purchases you would like to make you can do that, and I have an in quest mechanic to do so. Also I'll need your new spell list (and remember your third fight might be back in the arena). I don't think that you guys will lose this one, but a couple of bad die rolls could make it interesting.

03-04-07, 08:37 PM		Kervan definitely thinks some healing is on order here; he drops a Dispel Magic for a spontaneous Cure Serious Wounds before returning to the fray. He then takes one last chop with his enchanted sword before the dweomer leaves it, then tries his recalled Spiritual Hammer.

03-05-07, 03:53 AM		boo.... risk the AoO and move away. If still alive cast my last grease on Kervan. If knocked unconcious, then have my familair try to make heal checks to stabalize me. Other than that, keep up the keep away, until Kervan requests assistance.

03-06-07, 02:45 AM		Zodiac dodged under another claw swipe as Kervan healed all of his wounds. The were quickly replaced with a spear strike and two claws from the Filcher. The two claws managed to get more of a hold on Kervan and suddenly the two were gone. Zodiac muttered at now having to deal with a salamander and Filcher all on his own.

If it's allowed, Zodiac can simply run away at expidious speed. After loosing his prey/predator he could hide and come back when he expects Kervan to reappear (or leave the bat familair to tell him).

If that's out; retreat as well as possible and try to hit the salamander with my last truestrike arrow. Then flee and fire the last of my 6 arrows (sala as first target). Then flee and make claw attacks when I have to (avoid the reach tail of the salamander for that part).

If I'm missing something, let me know. But this looks like my only options.

Zodiac took off in a blur making good time and found that no one followed him. Recalling his memories he knew that Kervan would return, but it would be a matter of time before that happened. He made his plan and after a while returned to the area moving as quietly as he could. At about 100ft he saw the remaining two creatures twittering with anticipation for the return of their ally. Both had potions out and were waiting for something. As Zodiac moved closer he caught his foot on a low root shaking the bush violently Quickly he cast true strike from his scroll and saw that both creatures had seen him.

03-08-07, 12:15 PM		If I get my Grease, try to grapple free. If not, well, I'm pretty much dead anyway, but I suppose I can try to claw the filcher.
Vathelokai

03-08-07, 05:57 PM		If I'm 100 ft from the spot, then there's no way (30 move, 35 range). If I'm within 60 ft, then move in and ready to cast on Kervan appearing. If that's a no go, then move closer and cast grease upon next opportunity. This will put me in serious danger, but since it's my last spell, I'm willing to risk it.

If Kervan time hops again, then flee and return in 8 minutes :weep:
Erithmu

03-08-07, 09:35 PM		Zodiac made a dangerous move closer to the grappled Kervan, and watched as the Salamander drew back his spear and thrusted with an extra amount of force. The blow struck and Kervan began to fade from consciousness. Zodiac was about to cry out, but received a claw to the side of his body that knocked him out.

From above two bats flew in with riders, Thunder fell from the sky and fire flew from the hands of one of the riders. Kervan heard familiar voices before he passed out. "Kervan is worse for wear, but should make it." "Zodiac is stable as well, we need to get them to the great tree." Then the world went dark.

Round 88:
22 - Temporal Filchers
#1 - Goes after Zodiac (20ft from Zod)
#2 - Returns from Time Filch

03-09-07, 12:42 AM		Yeah... I didn't figure that was going to go well. Kervan does well unless opponents get sufficiently lucky with their hits, and it usually only takes a couple. And Bull's Strength and Haste multiplied the salamander's chances of a hit by 8.

I really have no idea how to run a cleric at this level. I should probably just Maven it for a little while, at least for one more level. Maybe I can try another mission then.
Erithmu

03-09-07, 10:26 AM		I don't think it is that you don't know how to run a cleric. My personal philosophy on Questing/Missioning is to be at the start of a cycle. If only because you select spells differently for the arena than you do questing. Even more so for wizards.

I acutally think it was Zodiac's left over 2 hold person's from the arena that killed you guys since that is 6 SL that can't be used on about 70% of any encounter. Even one Deep Slumber would have allowed you to take down one of the monsters with ease. None of the monsters have spellcraft and are pretty much fighter based.

I have also noticed that characters with more than 5 'needed' buffs have difficulty doing so in quests unless they have a method to slow combat down. I mean Barthleby would use rope trick, Web is a nice second option, but does have concentration issues.

7th level is the holy grail when it comes to clerics as the one spell they need is suddenly available to them.
