Her own mother was hundreds of years old but she never leaves the Feywood. So much wisdom in this cleric. He was making her consider a lot of things in a very different light. "One last question Mr. Tel. What if it was me? If it were me begging to be spared." She even stops walking, staring at him and waiting for the answer. She was asking if he'd save lives despite being a death priest.

He worships Umbra to but he's really bad. Can two clerics of Umbra fight each other? If he was here, would you be on his side?"?

Is Murdain eligible for Bard training considering he isn't actually one? I'm having a build crisis. I don't see a compelling reason to spend this level on sorcerer. The way I play Aaliyah, it'll never make sense for her to take utility spells except maybe polymorph. If this game goes to 12, I can start buying Bard levels to get some very Aaliyah things like being inspirational in general and adorable. Also Level 6 sorceror just gives me more poison damage so it's a dead level anyway and I can never get my wings. I think Healing Magic would be a very Aaliyah thing to pursue and Bard is the only real path I see to that and it keeps my slot progression so I can at least upcast freely. I've always seen her as someone who has power and just throws it around instead of controlling it. She's never had any real education and literally grew up around wolves and other animals.

Niko had had an emotional day and she wanted to be alone for awhile and Aaliyah decided she should respect that. "Mr. Tel. You're a cleric of... Umbra? Murdain says that doesn't mean you're evil but most people say it does mean that. I don't understand. She's the goddess of death?"

Aaliyah growls at the dead body. The she stomps away. "And I'm all out of them."

Where is Baba? Who is the master she serves? What do they want?" She claps her hands over her mouth quickly, realizing she'd just rapid fired out three of her four questions. At least they were useful things to know? Maybe?

Aaliyah asks as she's lead away. Murdain had grabbed his amulet back up before she'd had to tell him so she moved on. Back at the dead dragonborn, she kneels next to him. "He knew my real name..." she says to those nearby and then, quietly, she adds "Baba, if you can hear me, his soul is mine now. I don't belong to you anymore. I have a new master... and we're coming."

I look forward to my whacky astral adventures. Just wait till I return, riding on a dreadnought with an army of gith who have pledged themselves to me.

Aaliyah watches Niko lose her humanity and descend into violent madness and sinks to the grass to watch in horror. "Momma?"

She looks down at the dragonborn, the one who spoke a name not many people knew. He had to work for Baba, or with Baba. But he was dead now and she wouldn't learn anything from his corpse, not with the staff reaping his soul as he fell. She breaks into a sprint, inhaling as she does so and holding in her breath so long her skin starts to turn blue from the arctic air. As soon as she's in range, she exhales the same blast of freezing air. OOC: She is going to full move after Indominus and use Rime's Binding Ice, my new favorite spell I think. He needs to make a DC 18 Constitution save. Also I think this is a wild surge?

So we'll just do what we usually do and put everything in my Bag of Holding, right? Deal with it later. Good. I'll just scoop it all in there.

I only note what I know really. So if I don't know it, it isn't in my notes.

Lady Xanathel wants to conquer the Vale. Baba is destabilizing things by causing famine and chaos and seems to Xanathel. So Xanathel and Baba might have a shared master. She created a problem and then arrived with her money and soldiers to solve the problem. But WE solved the problem first so now we're the new problem. She's going to choke out other towns by making Empyrean's Rest a huge trade hub. Also if the famine had worked out, the entire Vale would become dependent on her and her contacts and she has the only trained soldiers. So she becomes a lord and people become subservient to her. Then she controls the Vale and can train an army or hire mercenaries and the King-Priest can't stop her. She can use the Vale to gain power with no one outside the Vale daring to cross the border to stop her. She can attack the dwarves or Carysand with impunity and they can't retaliate. This is a big power play! I think she also intercepted the Skorn out of Lancel's employ and got them to kill people and terrorize the region a a bit so Gavan can kill them and be a big hero.

Ved (kirit?? Which name is real?) -Mercenary. Valeborn. Dual-wields. -Father named Ved. Drunk. Cuts eyes out of people he kills. Scammed Ethyl. Working with the Skorn. Working with Griselda. -Friend named Rorin/Rory/unclear. Dwarf battlerager, drunk. Asshole. Don't trust. -Sword named Praetorian. Sworn to protect empyreans. Made by Umbra clerics. Used by anti-paladin before. petrified last wielder but wielder is still moving around... -Raised by innkeeper. Might actually be his mother. -Griselda is mother but that's a lie. -is an empyrean. Murdain -Rogue. Now some flavor of psionic bard. -Dark past, don't know what -Mom dead. Mindflayer werewolf hybrid psychic... can put spells on belts? Strange magic. -Likes cats. Has pet displacer kitten. -Doesn't like being alive. Sad. Never happy. Nikoletta Vandal -Blood Hunter(paladin now?) werewolf. Tanky -Motherly. Might have a kid? Oh, HAD a kid. Kid eaten by werewolf/husband. Jesus. -Wants to die but won't hurt herself. Doesn't think she's allowed to die. -Hunts werewolves. Kills on sight. Keeps trophies. I think she's killed people wolfing out. Barkvin -Sun cleric -Good boi -Mom is a server somewhere, ex pirate. It's in Port. She's in danger. -Has a pirate sister. Shadai. Druid. Used me to find her mom. Saw Barkvin in bar, recognized him, called out to me to get to him. Don't trust. -Arm cut off. Has new arm from Griselda. New powers? Is a light cleric now? Hyallmyr (Hyal) -Wizard

Aren't carrots good for the eyes though? They don't cut them out...

I have a map question. Is the dragonborn currently flying where his token is?

Her hand begins shaking as she tries to resist the tug on her psyche but it was no use. This is what she was. Dolls don't get to choose what games they play. She slowly turns towards Ved, energy welling up in her hand, tears in her eyes. And then, "No." The staff is back in her hands and the energy fades away. She inhales sharply and then releases a cone off frigid air, so cold it chills the blood and causes the air to thicken into ice in it's area. OOC: I... am going to ding level 7 rather than do this. She's going to cast Rime's Binding Ice. DC 18 Con save or his speed becomes 0. Then I want to quicken an Eldritch Blast!

This is gross. I can't eldritch blast and most of my nukes are fire!

Is this one a friend? Hey demon, do you know the Harvester of Souls?" She brandishes the staff at him. "No? Urm... urgh... BLEH" Suddenly her mouth opens and a torrent of acid gushes out of it. OOC: Upcasting Tasha's brew to 2nd level. I drew a line that hits Indominus but I'm not sure if the cliff causes a problem. If she angles it upwards... DC 16 save or takee 4d6 acid damage at the start of his turns.

uh oh....

More power flows down her arm and through the focus and turns into three rays of searing heat at one of them. OOC: Bonus to swap my hex to far left guy on Ved. Then casting scorching ray x3 at him.

!!!!!!!!!!!!! More wild magic! We are killing Baba for sure now.

"Oh you're just so eager for this. I hate you so much," she says to it, quickly adding, "do it then." A swarm of angry fey spirits begin spinning around her as she rushes the camp. As soon as they come into sight, she holds up the hand with her focus on it and the green lines all over her body are pulled into the focus, becoming prismatic at first and then red as a ball of fire forms in her hand. "I'm sorry," she says to the men before throwing the fireball at them. She chases the fireball so that it explodes just before she jumps into their midst. OOC: Pre-casting Spirit Guardians. Anyone who starts within 15 feet of her - all of them? - will take 3d8 necrotic damage and be forced to half speed unless they make a DC 16 Con save. She then casts fireball for 31 fire damage, DC 16 Dex for half and runs into melee so her new aura does work!
