"I'm as good as blind in the darkness too. I say we stick to the original plan. Rest here until tomorrow and get a few errands done. We can continue at first light."

 

"I would like to get a drink at Cayden's Keg and perhaps have a word with that smith you mentioned Corwyn* about enhancing my rapier. Need to pick up some tools too. Never know when they are needed."

 

Syhlas looks around the rooms they just searched and points at all the books and documents. "I guess you book lovers have some reading you want to do." He grins and looks at Arionne especially.

*I didn't see any smith mentioned in the Gazetteer of Breachill in the Player's Guide but I guess there must be someone in a town of 1300 people so I thought Corwyn (as a resident) may have mentioned one earlier before the game started. Hope that is ok.

Corwyn agrees that it would be best to be better prepared. After showing everyone around and introducing them to whoever they will need for their new equipment, he seeks out his mother. He invites the others to join him if they want and offers for anyone to stay at his home if they have no place to stay tonight. Once he finds his mother, he tells her what we have done so far and what clues we still need to investigate.

"What do you think of all this, mother?"

When Corwyn tells her about Alseta's Ring, Tarindlara gasps. "The aiudara... I read stories about them when I was little. I always wondered if they were real."

Then she thoughtfully says "...well, it sounds like control of the portals is what everyone wants. Voz, the cult, and the Triad... I imagine there will be others, too. But with you and your friends protecting us, everything will be fine."

AC: (21Bulwark: The armor covers you so completely that it provides benefits against some damaging effects. On Reflex saves to avoid a damaging effect, such as a fireball, you add a +3 modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier

Plate: The sturdy plate provides no purchase for a cutting edge. You gain resistance to slashing damage equal to 1 + the value of the armor’s potency rune for medium armor, or 2 + the value of the armor’s potency rune for heavy armor.) |  HP: 44/44 | Fortitude: +11 | Reflex: +8 | Will: +8 | Perception: +5

Arionne was only too happy to take the Infernal Book off of Syhlas, so she had some light reading to enjoy that evening. It had been a bloody day's business, and some peace and quiet sounded divine. When Corwyn invited them all into his home, she gladly accepted, as she was curious about the Elf's lineage. Any questions she might have had about a potential Draconic ancestor were immediately squashed when Tarindlara had such a strong reaction to the mention of the portal network.

"I'm sorry, you know of what we speak? What is this aiudara, if I might ask?"

Polite to a fault, she strained to remember if she herself had ever heard the name in any of her tomes.

 

Mechanics

Main Hand: Empty
Off Hand: Empty
Conditions: Channel ElementsAura Kineticist Primal

Requirements Your kinetic gate isn't active.

You tap into your kinetic gate to make elements flow around you. Your kinetic aura activates, and as a part of this action, you can use a 1-action Elemental Blast or a 1-action stance impulse. Your kinetic aura is a 10-foot emanation where pieces of your kinetic element (or all your kinetic elements, if you can channel more than one) flow around you. The kinetic aura can't damage anything or affect the environment around you unless another ability allows it to. Channel Elements has the traits of all your kinetic elements. Your kinetic aura automatically deactivates if you're knocked out, you use an impulse with the overflow trait, or you Dismiss the aura. Though you can't use new impulses while your kinetic aura is deactivated, ones you already used remain, and you can still Sustain any that can be sustained. Stance impulses are linked to your kinetic aura and end when the aura deactivates., Armor in EarthEarth Impulse Kineticist Primal

Stone encases you like armor. The stone armor is medium armor but uses your highest armor proficiency. The stone armor's statistics are: AC Bonus +4; Dex Cap +1; Check Penalty –2; Speed Penalty –10 feet; Strength 16; Bulk 1; Group plate. You gain its armor specialization effect. Any bonuses, runes, and magical abilities of your actual armor are suppressed, but any runes that could apply to the stone armor are replicated onto it. The stone armor lasts for 10 minutes, and you can Dismiss this impulse. If you use this impulse again, any existing one ends.

Level (3rd) The armor becomes heavy armor. Its AC Bonus becomes +5, and it gains the bulwark armor trait.

Choose one of your kinetic elements to affect. This impulse has a range of 30 feet, and the Bulk of the target must be negligible or light. The GM decides what Bulk the element is. You can't affect an element that's magical, secured in place (like a stone mortared in a wall), or attended by a creature unwilling to let you. Choose one of the following options, though the GM might allow you to make similar small alterations. Base Kinesis can't deal damage or cause conditions unless otherwise noted. • Generate You bring an ordinary, non-magical piece of the chosen element from its elemental plane. The element can be used for any of its normal uses. For example, air can be breathed by an air-breathing creature, and fire casts light and can ignite flammable substances. • Move Move an existing piece of the element up to 20 feet in any direction. If you bring it into your space, you can catch it in an open hand. You can Sustain the impulse to keep moving the element. • Suppress You destroy an existing piece of element, such as snuffing out a flame or evaporating water from a cup. This affects only natural forms of the element, not durable, crafted goods like a stone statue, metal lock, or wooden door. Level (+4) The range increases by 15 feet, and the maximum Bulk increases by 1 (allowing Bulk 1 at 5th level). 30' light bulk, generate, move or suppress Elemental BlastsHit: +8 Attack Impulse Kineticist Primal With a wave of your hand, you collect elemental matter from your aura and swing or hurl it. Choose one of your kinetic elements and a damage type listed for that element, then make a melee or ranged impulse attack against the AC of one creature. Add your Strength modifier to the damage roll for a melee Elemental Blast. If you make a 2-action Elemental Blast, you gain a status bonus to the damage roll equal to your Constitution modifier. The element determines the damage die, damage type, and range (for a ranged blast). A damage type other than a physical damage type adds its trait to the blast. • Fire 1d6, 60 feet • Earth 1d8 bludgeoning or piercing, 30 feet Critical Success The target takes double damage. Success The target takes full damage. Level (+4) The damage increases by one die. or 30' bludgeoning or piercing d8, 60' fire d6 Flying FlameFire Impulse Kineticist Primal A Tiny shape of flame appears, taking a form of your choice— such as a bird, an arrow, or a simple sphere. It Flies from you up to 30 feet in a path you choose. Each creature it passes through takes 1d6 fire damage with a basic Reflex save against your class DC. A creature attempts only one save, even if the flame passes through it multiple times. Level (+2) The damage increases by 1d6. 30' line of 1d6 fire damage. Basic Reflex Weapon InfusionInfusion Kineticist With a signature flair, you shape blasts of elemental power into the form of a weapon, such as a sword made of whirling wind or a bow that shoots flames. If your next action is an Elemental Blast, choose a weapon shape for it to take. You can choose to change the blast's damage type to bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing - whichever suits the weapon shape - and you can choose other alterations depending on whether you make a melee or ranged blast. Melee: Add one of the following traits of your choice: agile, backswing, forceful, reach, sweep. Ranged: Choose one of three options: range increment 100 feet and the volley 30 feet trait, range increment 50 feet and the propulsive trait, or range increment 20 feet and the thrown trait. shape blasts into a weapon, add a trait Armor in EarthEarth Impulse Kineticist Primal Stone encases you like armor.

"They were built long ago by an elf named Candlaron. In Common they're called 'elf gates'." Arionne may not have known the Elven word aiudara, but she definitely has heard the phrase 'elf gates'. "It's said that there are elven portals all over Golarion... though by now, most of them are lost to time and the elements." She pauses thoughtfully "...If Alseta's Ring is still active, it must have been more well-maintained than the other ones. But maintained by whom, I wonder...?"
