Off to the see the (dragon) wizard! (Jaela)

[Corwin]

"You're adorable! Do you have a name?"

[Anastasia]

"You seem to think it can talk," Mirima comes over, kneeling down to give the wolf a look over, "No elven hound, but it's still a fine..." she checks its underside, "Ah, a bitch."

[Corwin]

"How about Lisa? Do you like Lisa?"

[Anastasia]

The dog wags her tail and licks at your hand.

"Completely submissive. You put the fear of Jaela into her," Mirima gets up.

[Corwin]

"I don't really want to hurt anyone here, so it works. And she's adorable! Yes she is!"

[Anastasia]

The wolf seems perfectly content to bask in your petting.

"It's not gold, but I still think she's a fine prize," Mirima remarks. "Are we going to take her with us?"

[Corwin]

"Of course!"

2 hours of looking for gold! Then we move on.

[Anastasia]

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d100 see if anything else bothers you --> [ 1d100=25 ]{25}

Make another K:D check.

[Corwin]

Taking 10 for another 35!

[Anastasia]

You get a decent quantity of gold nuggets and dust. It's a highly productive stream - a real setup here and time could net a small fortune.

[Corwin]

Jaela heads down the river with Lisa in tow, now!

[Anastasia]

Congratulations, you recruited a new party member. Lisa is a 24 hit dice celestial dire wolf with one additional power.

Eyes of Light (Sp)

At will as a swift action, Lisa can fire beams of light from her eyes. Treat these as a searing light spell, caster level 24th.

As it's getting late in the session and I'm backed up on DM work, you have a mission: Draw up a basic stat block for her. Doesn't need to be fancy, but a basic build is fine.

While she has an Intelligence score of 3 due to the celestial creature template, she has not gestalted at this current time, so that's not a concern. I'm mainly looking for feat choices, basic skill point investments, that sort of thing.

Smite Evil (Su)
Once per day a celestial creature can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD (maximum of +20) against an evil foe.

Eyes of Light (Sp)
At will as a swift action, Lisa can fire beams of light from her eyes. Treat these as a searing light spell, caster level 24th.

Trip (Ex)
A dire wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip its opponent (+11 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the dire wolf.

Scent (Ex)
This extraordinary ability lets a creature detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
A creature with the scent ability can detect opponents by sense of smell, generally within 30 feet. If the opponent is upwind, the range is 60 feet. If it is downwind, the range is 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at three times these ranges.
The creature detects another creature's presence but not its specific location. Noting the direction of the scent is a move action. If it moves within 5 feet of the scent's source, the creature can pinpoint that source.
A creature with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10. The DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry's odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.
Creatures with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights.
Water, particularly running water, ruins a trail for air-breathing creatures. Water-breathing creatures that have the scent ability, however, can use it in the water easily.
False, powerful odors can easily mask other scents. The presence of such an odor completely spoils the ability to properly detect or identify creatures, and the base Survival DC to track becomes 20 rather than 10.

[Anastasia]

Great work. Go ahead and run her in combat for now, I'll put together an official NPC sheet later. Any questions?

[Corwin]

None. She'll stay out of combat if she can manage it, but having some extra spotting can't hurt. Can she talk at int 5?
