Spying On A Spy


Minotaur City IMod (Dm Glenn)  d20=15 ; d20=9 ; d20=18 ; d20+20=23 ;
Wednesday February 16th, 2011 10:12:54 AM

Vauhwyt lets the others know via secrete message that they are being scryed again. At first Aztyr dosn't know what Vauhwyt is taking about. Vauhwyt wonders if Vorelle went to the library. Malgant continues the talking in code perhaps forgetting that he can't be see or heard by the scry, but it does cause Aztyr to get a clue and cast Telepathic Bond so they the group can communicate freely. The odd passerby-er my wonder why the occasionally just stare at one another.

Malgant feels an itch on the back of his neck like he is being observed, but he doesn't see anyone, just a bunch of Minotaurs going about their daily business.

Meanwhile, Vorelle is wandering the town spots a tail following her a youngish rouge like Minotaur. The human ranger easily gives the follower the slip, by getting lost in a crowed then ducking into an hiding place. She watches the young Minotaur rouge looks down different streets, and in shops for her before he gives up and heads away.

After Malgant is through at the bar and the others at the catacombs, the party regroups.

Later in the day Malgant gets that itchy feeling again. Anyone with Malgant perception vs DC23 Highlight to display spoiler: {You keep seeing the same Minotaur where every you go. He appears to be trying not to be obvious about it.}

Vorelle 
Wednesday February 16th, 2011 11:08:53 AM

When she catches up to the others, Vorelle gives a brief report. "I have no idea whether I was scried," she says, "but I was followed."

A moment later, she says, "In fact, we're being followed now."

[OOC: Vorelle is +30 to Perception in an urban environment; she cannot fail a 23 Perception check. Is it the same guy she saw before?]

As the group gathers, and are told we are being followed, Aztyr sends to the others, *what are we gonna do about the follower, catch him and question him, or just have Vauhwyt teleport us to our next stop?*
Aztyr is ready for either call, with a spell ready to be cast, or is ready to draw out her new wand and zap both herself and Malgant before Vauhwyt's spellcasting.

"Meh," thinks Vauwhyt, "Let's just go."

The fact is, with her turn away from vengeance, not to mention the last time she had to deal with a captured enemy (the harpy mother), she is maybe a little reluctant to have to deal with another prisoner.

Winner of the "Captain Obvious" award, Malgant blurts"Where!" and looks around when told they are being followed. Of course he sees nothing, especially after making such a point of looking around. Unable to do anything about someone he can't see, and finished with his purchases at the catacombs as well, Malgant votes for the 'just go' option to Plateau city.

"Why don't we invite him in for a drink and see what he wants? At some pointev we have to stop running from every little shadow. He's following us for a reason. Either to gather intel or maybe to give us some. For all we know he's a kid that has delusions of grandeur."

Catching up with the others, Vorelle informs them about her tail, and then easly spots another following the other group. This isn't the same one who was following her earlier he was much younger.

Aztyr wonders if they catch the new tail or just split. Vauhwyt's for spiting. Malgant fails to spot him even when pointed out, he agrees with Vauhwyt to just leave. Valanthe suggest inviting him for a drink.

Vauhwyt (AC31 HP126) and Mookie 
Thursday February 17th, 2011 1:15:17 PM

Vauhwyt coughs and spits.

"That's what I'm in favor of!"

She laughs and elbows Aztyr, sharing the joke -- maybe it is liontaur humor? -- otherwise going along with the consensus.

* That your attempt at Centaur humor Vauhwyt?* (since that was last description Vauhwyt said she looked like. Aztyr is just like Malgant, she takes a quick luck around, but has no clue which one of the 50 or 60 people in the streets around them.

Aztyr holds her staff in her right hand and is about to cast a spell, but stops just before she starts, a smile appears on her face, but she's not saying anything about the aborted spell casting over the bond.

Vorelle 
Thursday February 17th, 2011 4:41:40 PM

Vorelle is accustomed to thinking of Malgant as the guy who can do everything. He casts spells, he fights in melee, he talks to people, he does all this stuff. Can he really not see the minotaur sitting over there?

"The fellow in the green tunic, with the reddish-black fur, at the table just past the end of the bar," she murmurs. [I don't think Vorelle was available when the Telepathic Bond was cast. If she was, she thinks it instead.] "He's different from the person who followed me earlier, so there are at least two of them. Probably more."

She's pretty confident in her ability to hide from these guys, but there is the rest of the party to be considered. "I don't know. I think we need to talk to them," she says.

" That is a novel idea Val. Even if he was waving a flag I don't think I could pick him out in this crowd. Vorelle, why don't you ask him if he would like to grab a bite to eat and some wine. No Minotaur should want to miss a shot at a glass of wine after a tough day following the vagabonds we certainly are. I'll stay close to you and keep him from doing anything pointy to you." Malgant declares Vorelle as his interpose target and follows her to meet their new admirer.

Vauhwyt giggles in her centaur disguise. She thinks it is fine to invite the spy for a meal.

"If he's been following us all day he's got to be hungry. Friend of foe we may learn something about them. If they do eat with us then we know they aren't afraid of being caught. At least we may be able to hold off whatever they are planning until later and after we have eaten. I'd rather not go into battle with a grumbling stomach."

"Lunch it is, then!" agrees Vauhwyt.

Vauhwyt finds something funny, as Azty starts to cast a spell then aborts it without comment.

Vorelle mentally points out where the guy is with a detailed description (ooc: +10 to spot vs DC32)

Malgant encourages Vorelle to invite him to lunch.

Vauhwyt continue to giggle about her centaur disguise, which just goes to convinces any good Minotaurs passing by that centaurs are silly creatures.

Valanthe agees the fellow must be hungry by now having followed them all day. Vauhwyt / centaur agrees.

The Minotaur is still trying not to be spotted (DC32) by the group.

Aztyr has absolutly no trouble picking out said Minotaur, she was about to say something, but the Vorelle gave a discription and she knew she had the right 'Taur picked out. Aztyr reaches out and lays a hand on both Malgant and Vorelle, as soon as she does so, she mutters a few words, those who know her, hear her begin a Teleport spell, and then the spinning and squeezing sensation begins and happens almost instantly, they then reappear right behind the Minotaur, or right next to, if he's backed up to a building.
(teleport, no problem)
"I think Malgant here, wants a word with you. Vorelle wants to invite you to a meal, you've been busy all day with all your sneaking around following us."

Vauhwyt, in centaur form, laughs a neighing laugh! "Oh, oh, Aztyr," she thinks, "That is so funny!"

Are there any scriers in range, by the way?

"You might want to make up fake names when introducing us in the future, though!"

OOC to Glenn: Sorry, I am so mixed up. Is this a new day? Did we get our spells and such back? What time is it?

(ooc: hope everyone had a good president's day holiday, yesterday)

Spotting the tailing Taur, Aztyr grabs hold of Malgant and Vorelle teleporting next to the Minotaur in question. She informs the very surprised rogue Taur that they wish to have a word and meal with him. The spying Minotaur is caught off guard, as he looks around helplessly, eyes wide with panic.

The centaur Vauhwyt, laughs at the poor spy caught by Aztyr quick thinking, but suggest they use fake names in the future. The scry is still watching Aztyr, having followed her teleport across the market square at a good pace, but not instantaneously.

Malgant questions the Minotaur suggesting at nearby tavern, the fellow gulp, but nods accepting that he's been caught.

Vorelle looks around for any other people following them, while the spell casting, teleport has drawn attention from some of the bystanders, no one appears overtly interested in the group.

Escorting the stealthy Minotaur into the tavern, the group finds a quite corner to talk. The fellow starts off "I was just paid to follow you, nothing more. That's all the pretty little halfling wanted. She paid me good coin in advance! She even promised to give me a kiss if I did a good job." he gets a dreamy look in eye "Normally I don' t care about the wee people, but she is sooo pretty I can't help it."

Vorelle 
Tuesday February 22nd, 2011 2:24:57 PM

Vorelle glances at Malgant. "It has to be the same one," she says.

To the "stealthy" minotaur, she says: "A halfling woman? What did she look like?"

Moderate Fortification, Mind Blank, AC 33, 174/174 hp Malgant 
Tuesday February 22nd, 2011 5:25:02 PM

Still under the influence of Aztyr's mental spell linking their thoughts Malgant starts taking precautions." Anyone who can cast it have dimensional anchor ready at a moments notice. If a scryer is watching they may, I doubt it, but may try to spring this fellow. A dimensional anchor will ensure they stick around to talk. Yes it sounds like the same halfling. It also sounds like he has been charmed or otherwise had his mind befuddled. I doubt her kiss does ANYTHING good. Check him for active spells, anyone who can."" I have met your halfling lady friend. Do you have any of the coins she gave you? Specifically the coins she gave you, those that were in her possession. I'll pay you for them, they are worth more than their monetary value to me." As Malgant says this he spreads a napkin ( or whatever other small wrapping type thing he might have handy) for the Taur to place the coins on. Mentally he says " Aztyr, I know the link will be slight, it is only money, but you have seen her and will have something she touched, would you be able to find her? If you can I suggest a new destination other than the temple of Gargul. I think she would LOVE to see us." " I also wouldn't take that kiss from her. She wanted to kiss me and I got the feeling it would be the last kiss I ever received while I drew breath. Besides, halflings aren't my type. Did she give you anything else? A time and a place to meet her, a likeness of us so you could find us, or a way to contact her perhaps?"

As Malgant asks his questions, Aztyr responds the same way, through the link.* Malgant, as long as I have spell energy, I always have it ready to cast. As for scrying the halfling, that I can do, but it's an hour long ritual. During that time, they could make quite a few preparations for our arrival. I'll also cast Detect magic and give him a good looking over, it doesn't degrade my spell energy by enough to even be noticable.*
Aztyr casts Detect Magic and examines the youngish 'taur, looking for even the faintest trace of magic on him. She makes some effort to minimize the scrutitiny (bluff 15)

Vauhwyt makes sure she stays in line of sight of her friends. It would not do to get separated. She elbows Val in the ribs. "Hey Val," she thinks through the Teleport, "You been awful quiet. What do you think we should do next? Plus, let's keep those guys in sight."

I honestly don't know. All this magic stuff is kinda beyond me. Spells for this, spells for that. It all makes my head spin. Doesn't sound like this is going away so unless somebody can starting casting magical protections against remote watching we are going to be confined to places that already have them. valanthe replies.

Minotaur City IMod (Dm Glenn) 
Wednesday February 23rd, 2011 9:56:19 AM

Giving a knowing glace at Malgant, Vorelle ask the caught spy to describe the halfling woman. The minotaur goes glassy eye as he describes her "She had hair the color of newly spun gold, her eyes were deep pools of endless emerald love, the voice was that of a best of all nightingale so soft and knowing. She smelled of dew from a fresh spring morning. She is the embodiment of all the best of what is woman." he sighs at the though. The description more or less resembles the same halfling that visited you early in the morning.

Malgant agrees via the mental link, then continues to chat with the fellow asking for some of the coins. The rouge hold his coin pouch tight, as he respond "The coins are special, be cause she gave them to me too! I will not willing part with them. I've been following you all day, and I still don't see why she would be interested in you when he could gladly have me! Not kiss her are you mad? No, your trying to keep me from her! You want her all to yourself, I see that now clearly as the sun in the sky. I'll not help you find her, even if you break my legs!"

Responding mentally to Malgant, Aztyr examines the taru's aura and indeed find he is under the power of charm magic.

Vauhwyt makes some small talk with Valanthe as the others deal with the captured Taur spy.

Aztyr sends a message to everyone in her link, *I can try and dispell this charm on him, not sure if it'll work, but it might worth a try. I think I can unravel the effect of the charm or whatever it is that the Halfling did to him. I just don't want to do it without everyone ready when I cast it, because I just don't know the results I'll get.*
Aztyr prepares to cast her spell, upon reciet of the groups readiness.

"Just Protection from evil him and free his mind. I used mine this morning trying to heal the liontaur messenger. Clearly he is charmed. She wasn't that pretty and she smelled too much of wrong time and wrong place to be true.As for the scryer, let them watch. If we get those coins the halfling will be found. If they see that about to happen they may save us the trouble and come to us. If she is still here I am willing to bet that SHE is in control of that sphere about to eat the city. " To the befuddled minotaur Malgant speaks in soothing tones." If you must defend her honor, then by all means do so. I will find her. She threatens this entire city with a magic barley within my understanding of the word. And she has misled you into helping her. Your one life is nothing compared to the innocents in the city that she threatens. I will regret your death, but you have a choice. They don't. Help me find her and you can be the hero in this rather than the villain. Your choice." " Guard the doors in case he bolts"

Valanthe moves away from the table to interpose herself between the young minotaur and the door. She would bet gold he would simply try to run straight through her. Which would be an impressive feat if he could manage it.

Aztyr suggest she try to dispel the charmed on the taur. Vauhwyt agrees, and Malgant suggest using a protection from evil spell to suppress the charm.

Speaking to the befuddled Taur, Malgant tells him in so many words he will die if the gets in the way of them catching the halfling.

Vorelle and Valanthe readies to catch the fellow if they tries to run.

Aztyr cast the protection from evil spell upon the Minotaur spy.

The fellow blinks a few times and gets a confused look upon his face, "What am I saying, if you want to off that little mark it's no skin off my snout. Here take the coins, that cursed little rat must have bewitched me, I want nothing more to do with her. What was I thinking kissing a halfling, I'd sooner eat dirt! I can't tell you how to find her, she said she would find me."

He put the pouch of coins she gave him on the table.

Malgant spills the coin pouch on the table and pays the Minotaur a like amount from his own cash. Now that the Taur's mind is cleared he seems to be cooperating nicely. Malgant thanks Imod for small favors." I would lie low for a few days. If she does find you I doubt she will be pleased you were spotted." To his friends he sends a message. " Let us head to the Mangled Centaur and conduct the scrying spells. I will scry at the same time as you Aztyr. I think she is nearby and controlling the sphere, thus I can lead us to her in the city if you are unable to see her. The Centaur is Hallowed to Imod since my ceremony and should be a fine place to scry from."

After that reply, "Young one I reccomend that you go spend some time at the temple, just to be on the safe side." She says that, compleatly ignoring the fact that she is not that much older that he is himself.
She is then ready to head to the Mangled Centaur, her business here finished.

Thursday February 24th, 2011 8:27:54 PM

Vauhwyt thinks to Aztyr, "Sister, when that Protection from Evil wears off, he'll still be charmed. You should tell him that, and offer to try to dispel it, huh?"

She will follow where Mal leads, though she has her reservations.

Vorelle 
Thursday February 24th, 2011 8:59:06 PM

Let's be cautious, Vorelle thinks through the link. That guy was terrible at hiding. I think this halfling, whoever she was, intended for him to get caught. Which means she may still be one step ahead of us.

Vauhwyt (AC31 HP126) and Mookie 
Thursday February 24th, 2011 10:12:41 PM

"Why are we even fussing around with this halfling and such! This is what the Master of Bone Mountain wants us to do! We have to do the unexpected, the unplanned. Pop to Plat City, get some intel, rest up, and go raid Mount Bone tomorrow!"

AC 42 HP 187 / 187 Valanthe 
Thursday February 24th, 2011 10:51:24 PM

Because if she is linked to the orb we owe it to these people to stop her. Also I think this halfling would know about the imposters that are committing crimes in our name. We cannot forget about that.

Malgant pays the rouge for the coins and suggest he lay low for a few days. He mentally suggest a plan and heading to Mangled Centaur to his companions. It's about a hundred gold coins total.

Aztyr agrees, adding that the rouge may want to spend a few days at the temple. Vauhwyt wonders if they should warn the Taru that he will still be charmed when the protection wears of.

Vorelle suggest being cautious that the spy was just too easy and maybe the halfing is still one move head.

The Centaur Vauhwyt wants to stop chasing the halfing and hit Mount Bone directly. Valanthe reminds the disguised liontaur about the link of the halfing to the Orb and impostors.

The rouge Taur, glances around in the silence of the table as the heroes giving meaningful glances at one another as they converse mentally, the Taur taking his new coins ask hesitantly "Yea, if your done with me, I'll be on my way, to visit the temple ..." He'll get up and make his way out, unless any one objects or bars his way.

Vauhwyt only Highlight to display spoiler: {The scry is still active on Aztyr, but you know they can't detect Malgant who did most all the talking with the rouge Taur.}

Vauhwyt thinks to her friends: "The scry is still active on Aztyr. On the other hand, it was Mal who did most of the talking, and they can't scry him at all!"

OOC: Hey, oh kindly DM! Don't I get a caster level check to maybe scry the scrier? If so, I get a 17, ugh.

sorry, a cold snuck up on me and sneak attacked me into unconsciousness last night.

IC
As they travel to the Mangled Cetaur Malgant states his reasons for wanting to go after the halfling. " I realize the halfling may well be a trap, but I have to try and stop that sphere from eating the temple and the city. The scrying Imod granted me will allow me to detect certain things that Aztyr can't. I say we start scrying at the same time so that neither one of us sets off a warning to the halfling. I will then cast my divinations while Aztyr gets a fix and shrinks those who need shrinking so that we can teleport in one go. This halfling may know where the Master is, so I think the risk that it is a trap is worth taking."
Once a room is secured and Aztyr is ready he begins the ritual to scry on the halfling ( start casting Greater Scrying)

Aztyr begins her Scrying at the same time as Malgant, she has her large silver mirror out and one of the coins from the halfling, to use as a focus. Having seen her outside the cube back on the other side of minotaur Island, she knows whom she's looking for.

Valanthe keeps an eye on the door. She doesn't think there will be any trouble but one can't be too careful. She probably won't see anything but with eagle eyes looking around, Valanthe doesn't have to. If Vorelle sees anything then Valanthe can smash it.

(ooc: Vauhwyt already checked and failed to see the scrier for this scry {see feb 15 post})

Vauwhyt mentally reminds the others about the active scry.

Malgant leads the group to the Mangled Centaur laying out a plan to find the halfling. Arriving at the Inn, the Minotaur secures a room for the scrying.

Vorelle feeling useless, notes but dismisses as non threatening, the sound of someone snoring in the next room obviously having drunk too much from the smell of his breath that makes it through the small cracks in the wall, or the sounds of of a mouse crossing the floor in the empty room on the other side of party's room.

Aztyr begins the hour long casting of her scry spell using one of the gold coins as a link to the halfing. Malgant times his much short casting spell (1 action) so that they both begin actual scrying at the same time.

Valanthe keeps guard on the door, trusting Vorelle's acute scenes to give them ample warning of trouble.

After, one hour with no interruptions, both scry's successfully begin (Will saves 9 vs DC22 Aztyr scry, and save:20 vs DC21 Ma's Greater Scrying). Both Mal via the magic and Aztyr in her mirror see an image of a alluring woman, with Tiny horns, bat-like wings and a sinuous tail betraying her demonic nature as she leads a small group of other outsiders three Ogre Mages and another like herself though what appears to be a war camp of outsiders Oni and other Demons, in some underground place. As you watch she and her crew approach an old stone structure, with a few outsider and undead guards at the entrance.

OOC: Has Vauhwyt completed her catacombs order of an eversmoking flask? Or is that still to come?

During the hour of scrying prep time, Vauhwyt thinks to her friends, "If we do scry an enemy, the first thing we have to do is teleport in for an attack immediately!"

As always, of course, Vauhwyt has certain very long duration spells cast already: Shrink Item, Detect Scrying, Contingency (great invis), Extended Magic Weapon for Mal. Before the scrying begins, Vauhwyt casts her long-term buffs: barkskin from wand, false life (+12 hp), greater magic fang (x2 from staff), greater magic weapon (armor spikes), heroism, magic circle vs evil, and magic vestment (from Mal on her buckler).

She also casts on Mookie: Alter Self (halfling), False Life (+20 hp), Heroism, He already has Contingency (great invis) on himself.

She is ready to teleport this instant. Aztyr can take Mookie, and she can teleport to follow.

"Come on! Let's attack!"

" Any attack will need to be fast, in and out, no more than a few swings before we leave. This is a war camp and unless I miss my guess, it could be the actual place we are looking for, the Master's front door. I am all for hurting them, but I view our chances of taking and holding that place as slim . Port in get a good look, spill some blood and get out. Pick a target and kill it, no spreading the damage around, that means disintegrate for Aztyr and destruction for me, Maybe a blade barrier, a few well targeted smashes for Val and then we go. Are we agreed? If they do to us what I would do to them and dimensional anchor us we all will die, so resist that spell at all costs. Dodge it, dispel it whatever it takes." If the group decides on a hit and run fight Malgant will cast Holy Aura on them all before teleporting into combat. When the buffing starts he will also throw true seeing on himself and death ward on Val and himself.

She casts See Invisability followed by Shield upon herself, then casts Protection from Energy (cold) on everyone but Mookie. That's followed by Blurr on herself, Malgant, Valanthe, Vorelle and Vauhwyt. She follows that immeadiatly with Haste, Extended with a Rod.

Questions to the DM:

From the time the scrying was started to the time it ended, did Vauwhyt detect any scrying on US?

Did I complete that Catacombs purchase?

==========

If we are being observed, we cannot take a lot of time to buff. I say not more than three rounds, tops. Aztyr, looks like you've got 12-14 rounds of buffing going on there! Which is great, but if they are watching, we can't afford it.

Also, did any of the enemy see the sensor? Or otherwise detect the scry? That's another reason to NOT delay. We may have warned them just as they have warned us.

Mal, you've got Holy Aura, True Seeing, Death Ward on Mal, Death Ward on Val. That's four rounds.

If Vauhwyt gets three-four rounds to buff, she casts Greater Invisibility on Vorelle, Mal, and Val. Aztyr, you got yourself, right? Her final buff is See Invisibility shared/cast on Mookie. After Mookie teleports away with Aztyr, Vauhwyt will follow, and Mookie will have to be able to find his mistress.

Arcane Spell Fail on these four spells: No Problem.

I'll hold off on rolling the Teleport just yet.

(OOC: Vauhwyt didn't say anything about prepping spells for an attack, before the results of the scry was posted. So all prep spells are started from point of scry were successful.)

With Successful Scry, the heroes have a bead on their target and they swing into action casting their prep spells. Nether Mal or Aztyr see anyone reacting to their scry spells.

(ooc: Mal please deduct 750gp for the holy aura and true seeing.)

As, the group prepares Mal and Aztyr see in the scry, the alluring demon woman and her group enter the stone structure, it appears to be a work area with more guards and a lich who is putting the finishing touches on a magic circle of some sort. He turns to the demon woman saying something then casting a Veil spell upon the group making them look like two liontaurs, a Minotaur, dark elf, and human. Looking very similar to what your group looked like when you attacked the wizards lab. The Lich proceeds to give some instructions then one by one the group weapons ready steps into the magic circle and disappear. The last is the demon woman looking like Valanthe steps into the teleportation circle and disappear. Both Scry spells start to speed off to the west northwest at many miles per hour passing through rock and stone then from a mountain side through a wasteland.

OOC spells prep (if you want to reduce the prep spells you can, just let me know which one you cut. Currently I have about 15 rounds of spells.)

Vauhwyt (AC31 HP126+12 false life) and Mookie 
Tuesday March 1st, 2011 9:05:59 PM

These spells are standard issue for Vauhwyt, either cast every morning as established earlier or days long, cast previously, and noted on PC Sheet:

"Vauh",-100,"12d","Vauh","Shrink Item"

Vauhwyt always has several stock items shrunk in her haversack, like the dead cow she fed the fledglings and the rowboat she pulled out to cross the river recently. Vauhwyt has these pre-cast and readied just like an archer always has 20 arrows in her quiver.

"vauh",-100,"24h","vauh","Detect Scrying"

Vauhwyt ALWAYS casts this every day on wakening.

"Mal",-100,"30h","Vauh -- buckler","Magic vestment","+2 ac, saves vs evil"
"vauh",-14,"24m","Mal","ext. Magic weapon","Weapon magic +1 to hit and dam."


Also, every day, first thing in the morning, Vauhwyt casts Extended Greater Magic Weapon on Mal's weapon, and he casts Extended Magic Vestment on Vauhwyt's buckler. These are standard procedures we set up long ago.

"vauh",-100,"12d","vauh","Contingancy (greater Invisabily)","Trigger Conditions???"
"vauh",-100,"12d","mookie","contingancy (greater Invisabily)","Trigger Conditions???"


Vauhwyt has only one 6th level spell, and it is Contingency. Which has a casting time of 10 minutes. It is clearly intended to be cast before an adventure. I mentioned it on my PC sheet. I thought I had mentioned it in posts, but maybe I did not. My intention was this: Contingent Greater Invis on Vauwhyt and on Mookie. Both triggered by saying nonsense words, such as "slithery tove," say. The idea is that in combat you can utter the right words (a free action) and in essence cast a quickened greater invisibility. I hope this is okay. Otherwise I don't get to use any 6th level spell at all, which would be a bummer!

"aztyr",-90,"150m","aztyr","Telepathic bond","allows all to talk"

This is the Telepathic Bond Aztyr cast when we first realized today that we were under scryveillance.

So the above spells were cast before the scry spells.

You are saying we cannot cast spells in the hour that Aztyr was casting her scry because we would be acting on the info that we got from the scry. Fair enough. Vauhwyt will cast only these three spells before casting her teleport: Barkskin (from wand), Magic Circle, and Heroism. Sorry, Val, Mal, and Vorelle! I'da liked to give you guys greater invis, but there's no time now. Next raid (tomorrow) we'll do better on the buffing.

Finally, in the same round as the teleport, Vauhwyt and Mookie will use their contingencies to go greater invis. Then Mookie teleports with Aztyr, and Vauhwyt follows with whoever needs a ride.

"Get your axes ready," Vauwhyt tells Vorelle mentally. "We're going in close, hitting hard, and then blipping out."

"Remember, everybody, we all attack the same target, whoever Mal tells us to. We attack until they are dead, we grab the body so they can't be raised, and we blip out. Aztyr, what's our teleport destination on the exit? We should decide now. Temple of Imod in Imod City?"

"The big question is, do we follow the minions disguised as us, or hit the lich? I say hit the lich! Especially since his minions just got sent away from him! I want to grapple that sucker!"


Vorelle

Vorelle nods and pulls out her axes. She doesn't need to, of course; she can draw them in an instant. But it's frustrating not being able to help with the preparations.

[OOC: so for spells on Vorelle I'm seeing a Prot Energy Cold (120) and a Blur if Aztyr decides to cast them. Then Aztyr's Haste, and Mal's Holy Aura, which are for everybody. And Mal's Status, and Aztyr's Telepathic Bond, which were cast earlier. No Greater Invis, because Vauhwyt changed her mind. Did I miss anything?]

Magic vestment on Malgant's armor to make it +3 30 hour duration remaining ( rod1)
Magic vestment on Malgant's shield to make it +3 30 hour duration remaining (rod1)
Magic vestment on Vauhwyt's buckler to make it +3 30 hour duration remaining (rod1)
Status on Valanthe, Vorelle,Vauhwyt, Aztyr, and Mookie 30 hour duration remaining (rod2)
Mind Blank 24 hour duration remaining
The extended magic vestments last well beyond that time and so does the status. The mind blank duration is 24 hours so it shouldn't lapse, or won't lapse by much unless our routine is disturbed.

IC
" Yes, teleport us inside and go for the Lich. If we destroy him he will begin to reform at his reliquary and we will need to scry him again to find that place. So this will not be the final fight, but it is a start. Liches are very strongly protected and have alot of immunities and damage reducers so be prepared to not be able to hurt it with everything. Magic blunt weapons are best against it so Val go all out. Aztyr and I will be leading with spells. I'll Blade Barrier the door to gain us some alone time with the beast. Lets do this."

Aztyr cast just four spells, unless you have determined she cast all of her buffs, either way is fine, just let me know. I personally planned on doing the full buffs but was told not to.

"What was interesting was how the imposters were disguised as we were not as we are. If the Lich was scrying me how did he not catch that? Perhaps it doesn't matter to him. If the lich teleported the imposters away then they must have a way to get back on their own. We should be ready for their sudden appearence. Let's get in there while the lich is still close by." Valanthe says and redies herself for battle.

OOC: ignore my first post.... I'll go back and mark off spells including my teleport.

Aztyr begins her casting of Teleport, the wind starts to swirl a bit and then suddenly everyone in her teleport suddenly feels that familiar squeezing sensation and "POP" they were in the room they had scryed, Everything else is up to the rest for this round.* we're here, go at it.*(said mentally)

Vauwhyt follows Aztyr, taking whoever is leftover, following the link that binds her to her faithful familiar.

Arcane Fail: 64 no prob.

Off target chance: 34 no prob.

Aztyr and I cannot act this round, of course, but everyone else should be in there guns a-blazin'!

WAIT WAIT WAIT!

How many rounds is Aztyr precasting? I thought we were doing three? Now I am so confused! Please help before we stat the action!?!

DM listed all the spells cast, by caster name, then the spell... I adjusted my spell list to match his listings.

I think we can choose to revise the DM's listing. I strongly urge us to not spend so long casting. What's the consensus?

Since, Aztyr is casting the first teleport. The finale decision is her's as to how many rounds to buff. I'm find with 4 to 15 rounds. Just need to know.

All the spells marked as -100 were from from this morning, I just needed a large value to properly sort them in the spreadsheet. I've corrected the magic weapon that I had as Vauh casting on Mal to be a greater magic weapon spell cast in the morning.

I'm ok with Vauh's having a contengacy with the non-sense word, but you can only have one contengancy in effect at a time. Also, Is Vauwhyt casting heroism on herself or Mookie? (the Share Spell works differently {Nerfed} under Pathfinder)

Note to DM: Highlight to display spoiler: {While of course I am pleased with whatever ruling you make, may I respectfully submit to you an unofficial and non-binding Rules Board discussion of Dec. 13 last year, in which Troy offers the suggestion: "Contingency and Share Spell -- I would suspect when using Share Spell the 'You' becomes your familiar. I don't see anything that would prohibit having a contingency on both you and your familiar." I'm hoping to use Share Spells to cast one contingency on Vauhwyt and another different casting on Mookie. }

Vauhwyt's three spells minimum are Heroism, Barkskin, and Magic Circle, all on herself. If Aztyr chooses to cast for more than three rounds, Vauhwyt will also.

Reply Note from DM: Highlight to display spoiler: {As per the spell "You can use only one contingency spell at a time; if a second is cast, the first one (if still active) is dispelled." Sorry, It doesn't matter who they are cast on. }

OOC: I've changed spells cast 3 times now.. With Glenn's decision to type out all of the spells cast I accepted the fact that all were cast and everyone has those buffs. He'd already caused the actions to occur and I'm satasfied with what he said.
So with that said, I don't plan on going back yet another time and figuring out what goes where.

He appears to be using a teleportation circle to send them out. If we get in trouble, it sounds like we can activate it as well and end up wherever he sent the other group. It isn't a good solution, but it is better than a last stand in his lair if things go terribly wrong. Also, don't step on it. That is what activates it from what I see in the Players Guide.

But Vauhwyt isn't casting a second contingency. The first one is being shared with Mookkie if I understand the argument. Therefore there is no second contingency spell. Oh, Nevermind, I just read share spell under familiar and boy howdy did they spank wizards on that one. Familiars are pretty darn useless now since you need to double cast your defensive spells to include them too. Pathfinder giveth and Pathfinder taketh away.

If we go the full 15 rounds of spells, which it appears we are going to, I cast shield other on Val as my first spell. It lasts the longest and since she will be close up to the lich I view her as most likely to get the snot pounded out of her.

Mal, yes, they really nerfed Share Spells. The ONLY advantage to Share Spells is that I can cast on Mookie spells with the target of YOU. That's it. So to buff Mookie and Vauhwyt, I have to cast the same buff on him and then on me. Two castings.

For Contingency, though, we're going with only one at a time possible, so no Share Spell Contingency with Mookie. Vauwhyt CAN share spells like False Life and Alter Self with Mookie -- the latter, by the way, let's him be any small or medium humanoid. Also, Mookie does not have to stay within 5 ft any more, so Aztyr can teleport him off and none of his Shared Spells go away.

Okay, no problem, we'll do the full complement of spells. Here goes:

Spell cast much earlier today or even days ago (the "-100" spells): several Shrink Items (days ago), Contingency (great invis) (days ago), Detect Scrying, Extended Magic Weapon for Mal. Extended Magic Vestment from Mal on her buckler. Telepathic Bond from Aztyr.

14 rounds of buffing:
-14: alter self (halfling) - 65 rolled for fail
-13: barkskin from wand - no need to roll for fail
-12: greater magic fang on paw from staff - no need to roll for fail
-11: greater magic fang on paw from staff - no need to roll for fail
-10: heroism on Mookie - 63 rolled for fail
-09: heroism on V - already rolled for fail in earlier post = ok
-08: magic circle vs evil - already rolled for fail in earlier post = ok
-07: greater magic weapon on armor spikes - 16 rolled for fail
-06: false life (+20 hp) on Mookie - 52 rolled for fail
-05: false life (+12 hp) on V - 84 rolled for fail
-04: greater invis on Aztyr (12 rounds) - 95 rolled for fail
-03: greater invis on Val (12 rounds) - 23 rolled for fail
-02: greater invis on Vorelle (12 rounds) - 24 rolled for fail
-01: greater invis on Mal (12 rounds) - 34 rolled for fail
-00: greater invis on Mookie (12 rounds) - 76 rolled for fail
+01: teleport - already rolled

Mookie's actions:

-13: donning gear
-12: donning gear
-11: donning gear
-10: donning gear
-09: donning gear
-08: donning gear
-07: mage armor on M from wand - UMD 28
-06: barkskin on M from wand - UMD 27
-05: waits
-04: waits
-03: waits
-02: waits
-01: Takes out Magic Missile wand
-00: Moves over to Aztyr for teleport
+01: Shoots Missiles after teleport - UMD28, then moves back to Vauhwyt

Hope that makes sense.
