Setil's page

Setil dances around the fray to take up a position behind the ghoul's leader. Shift to P33.
Then he beseeches Pelor for any bit of defensive assistance while chopping at the ghoul, but to no avail. Priest's shield 17 vs. AC.
Setil desperately quaffs a healing potion. Minor action, spend surge and heal 10.

Glad to see Invisible Castle hasn't changed over the break.

Setil takes a second to reinvigorate himself. Standard action - second wind for 23 hp and +2 to all defenses. And spend an action point to use Cure Light Wounds for another 23.
He then repositions himself closer to the dragonborn. Move action - shift to M33
Finally, he speaks the words to an ancient abjuration, and a thin silvery mist forms around Sundered Heart and Setil. Minor action - Silversteel Viel gives SH and me a +2 to AC and Reflex until the end of my next turn.

New saves in case you wanted them: 17 vs. Slow, 1 vs. Acid, 6 vs. Weakened. Personally, I'd prefer the first batch.

Update and partial re-post, all involved (Karrn, Galad and Setil) please double check for correcticity. :) Note to self: pay more attention to conditional bonuses!

Good luck, I created half of the PC's for my f2f game and at least once a session I hear "Oh wait! That should have worked because..." Plus, it's easier f2f because they can chime in as it happens. On a pbp, there's soooo much stuff to track that nobody can blame you for missing a hidden +1. Anyways, you're doing great!

Oh man! I just saw my Astral Majesty! That means my AC is 29 vs. the bloodied Initiate! I'm still up! I should let the DM resolve stuff before I post anymore;)

Can't sleep, may as well roll my saves, Slowed = 12, Acid = 18, Weakened = 18, Death = 2.

Well 2 more points of damage, thanks to SH, but I just looked back at when the initiate became bloodied, and he's not going down anytime soon:(

I sorry Setil, but I have no way to heal you before you go into unconsciousness from the ongoing damage.

It's cool, I'm the defender. Hopefully, I've helped myself.

In response to #4 Ravenous bite, I'll use Frost Backlash.
Just as teeth close around his arm, Setil's body appears coated in a layer of frost.
-2 reek, -2 conceal = 27 vs. Reflex. Please let that hit. 16 cold damage and on the off chance it kills him, since it's an interrupt, it stops the bite from hitting, and any other bad stuff #4 was trying. Of course it would change #3's action.

Setil: Your Aegis' immediate interrupt is usable 1x/round (according to PHB268), and so you still retain the use of Transposing Lunge.

I'm confused. Did I use it more than once this round? It looks like I used it on the Initiate in round 3, and then I just tried it on the Initiate on round 4.

Restoration Save vs. Acid = 12
Setil swings at the initiate again, reciting prayers to Pelor in an attempt to block out the maddening words of his former friend.
Strengthen the Faithful +2 flank, +2 Retributive shield, -2 reek, -2 concealment: 20 vs. AC and Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes just in case +4 =24.
Save vs. Slow = 18

Again, Setil prevents the full forces of the ghoul's claws on Sundered Heart, at the same time lashing out with his sword.
Prevent 13 damage, and use Transposing Lunge. +2 Retributive Shield, -2 reek, -2 concealment: 22 vs. AC, +1 for Memories = 23. Big miss

Setil once again repositions himself on the battlefield, this time in the midst of as many ghouls as possible. Shift to O33.
Then he lifts his sword high overhead and electricity strikes out at the ghouls surrounding him. Electrified Lash on #1, #3, #4 with -2 for concealment, -2 for reek. 25, 11, 28 vs. Fortitude. (The last attack has a +2 for Retributive shield.) 20 electricity damage
He finishes with a prayer to Pelor to heal Sundered Heart's wounds. Healing Word let's Sundered Heart spend a surge +6

Save = 9

Setil's magical link with the ghoul glows as it tears into Sundered Heart's throat, preventing some, but not all of the vicious wound.
Prevent 13 damage to Sundered Heart.

Setil moves nimbly into position across from Madda, resolved to free his friend from this curse in the only manner he can think of. Move action - shift to N35

He strikes out defensively, trying to protect himself and Sundered Heart from Jurival's poisonous claws. Standard action - Priest's shield 16 vs. AC +2 flank, +2 Retributive Shield, -2 concealment, -2 reek = 16 total. I'll activate my Couters of Second Chances and reroll: 23 vs. AC +2 with Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes = 25 vs. AC for 13 damage and Sundered Heart and myself gain a +1 power bonus to AC.

Then Setil establishes a new link with the ghoul on the far side of Sundered Heart. Minor Action - Shield of Aegis to mark #4.

Setil uses the arcane link with his lost friend to prevent some of the damage to Karn.
Immediate interrupt - reduce the damage to Karn by 13.
Setil's face sets with grim resolve and he answers the flesh-hungry ghoul with a single word, "Never."

Setil concentrates for a second and establishes a link with one of the ghouls. Minor action, mark stalker #1.

This would be your Aegis of Shielding, correct?

Correct.

Setil gives an anguished cry, "Jurival? What happened to you?"

Setil concentrates for a second and establishes a link with one of the ghouls. Minor action, mark stalker #1.
Then his sword takes on the soft glow of holy energy and he strikes at the ghoul in the middle of the group. Standard action, Healing strike against #4 with flank and -2. 20 vs. AC, if it hits Sundered Heart may spend a surge and the #4 is also marked. If it misses, I'll use Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes.
Reroll, if necessary = 16 vs. AC

Perception = 25 That's 23 in the zone.

Religion = 36
"Setil calls through the reek "Radiant attacks are best. Avoid poison and necrotic..." and his voice breaks off as he gags.

He hops from his horse hoping that at the worst, the beast only goes home. Setil draws his sword, feeling a welcome sense of security, then rushes at the closest enemy.
Move action - dismount, minor action - draw weapon, standard action - charge to O37.
Charge attack = 15 vs. AC

J34

According to my PHB p267, being Surprised does cause one to grant CA to any unsurprised assailants. Did I miss an errata update, perhaps?

No, you're right. I was thinking of, people just going first in initiative, not surprise. Sorry.

Also, any idea what this horse should be named?[/ooc]

I'm with you Galad. I think Setil sees his horse as more of a tool to be utilized than an entity to be named. He doesn't remember to many horses in Pelor's court.

DM

Initiative = 25
Great, I crit Initiative and tomorrow's my day away from game. Oh, and I can't use rituals.

I'm a ghost on Saturday too. I have Game Day, followed by my Savage Tide.

I'm going to try and stick it out as is for a while.

"I am pleased to see you all."

Setil welcomes Ioun's blessing and hopes that Pelor will eventually show his favor on the endeavor.

I will be accepting a horse, and I think we should follow the river most of the way. Whatever time we may save by going striaght across would be lost once we hit the Harrowswode anyway. And then it only makes sense to take the easy route through the mountains, especially with mounts.

As long as we're talking rituals, does anybody have Phantom Steed? If not we may need to procure mounts.

"Good enough. I'll see you in the morning."

Resting at the inn.

Setil almost appears to not be paying attention, instead studying his surroundings.
"I speak for nobody but myself, but I will search for the Tear." says Setil abruptly. "It has been a long day. I plan to sleep and leave in the morning. If any of you would care to join me we can meet here. Perhaps Dierdre will remember more information once she rests. Where would one find lodging in Wellspring?"

Two more surges bring me to full, or maybe one if Galad is offering some extra healing.

"So, Dierdre, is your knowledge of our tentacled foes gleaned from first hand experience?"

Setil tries to help with the clearing of debris and moving the wounded and injured.
Athletics = 24

Setil will pay special attention to those that did not survive. His current situation has left him more concerned with the demise of mortal bodies. He will do what he can to minister to the families of survivors.

I'm not sure what the goal of this skill challenge is. I'm guessing it's to assist the wounded. A little clarification might help me to figure out how my Religion check could help.

Religion = 29

Setil stands and dusts himself off after the fight and then meticulously cleans his weapon. He listens in to the other conversations, but doesn't stop his work until Dierdre approaches. Then, he sheathes his sword with a flourish, and gives her his full attention.

"May you always walk in the light. I am Setil. I know the wounded are the first concern here, but I would like to hear anything you know about these monstrosities."

Then he speaks to his fellow combatants, "I am sure I owe all of you a debt of gratitude. Certainly, I only walked away from this because of your assistance. You have my thanks and Pelor's blessing. May you always walk in the light."

And then specifically to Madda, "You seem to be a resident of Wellspring. Do you know if a priest of Pelor, by the name of Jurival has been through here? He is a friend, and intended to settle here."

Setil is stunned and has used his AP, so we can slot his save in at any point. Pardons, Ghettowedge, if this offends.

No problem. One question, though: when did I fall prone?

Save vs. stun = 20 Great, another nat 20 wasted on a save.

Save vs. Stun = 3
Oh, good.

Can I charge G4?

You should be able to charge if you move to W15, then charge to X13.

"STOP!" Upon seeing the half-elf charging towards swirling energy Setil screams, "I'll try to pull it out."

Setil wrote:

...and pull G4 to W11.

I assume you mean W12, since you need to pull your target to a square adjacent to you, otherwise the power fails.

Correct as ever, oh wise and benevolent GM.

Setil yells out over the din, "Blind Deva!! There is a creature on top of you! Wait and I will try to pull it off!!"
That means Galad should maybe delay.

Setil nods at the dragonborn, "Do you have a couple more in you? I'll see if I can pull that one closer for you, then I'll get the leader." Setil then crosses the storm of energy and once outside of it sends tendrils of lightning towards the grell threatening the other deva.
Move to W13, skirting the edge of that other zone; and Lightning Lure on G4 24 vs. Fort; 12 lightning damage and pull G4 to W11.

DM

Setil ignores the grell at his back for the moment, and thrusts his sword into the one that the dragonborn has wounded. After that, Setil's body begins working at normal speed again.

Shift to Q14, Strengthen the Faithful: 30 vs. AC; 13 damage and Sundered Heart and myself may spend a surge and heal an additional 1 (24 for me). Save vs. Slow and -2 = 13

Setil blinks his eyes and sees the hilt of his sword, then everything comes back into focus. He grunts and rises to his feet, "Pelor's buisness here is not done yet." he says to nobody in particular. As the dragonborn makes a backswing with his weapon, Setil quickly touches it and it begins to glow as bright as the sun. And then Setil focuses on his body, regaining his poise and will to fight.

Stand; Weapon of the Gods on SH's weapon (Until the end of the encounter, all attacks made with the weapon deal an extra 1d6 radiant damage. When the weapon hits an enemy, the enemy takes a –2 penalty to AC until the end of the weapon wielder's next turn.); and use my second wind (+23 hp, +2 to all defenses).

DM

Setil uses what little strength he has remaining to break free of the tentacles wrapped around him. He staggers to the ground next to the dragonborn and manages to pull himself up to a fighting stance. He says to his newfound ally, "If I drop, try to prevent them from eating my brain."
Athletics 27 vs. Fort and shift to R14
And then he makes all of his saves! 20 vs. dazed; 20 vs. random; 10 vs. slowed

Setil provokes with Lightning Lure.
Setil opens himself up to attack again in another bid to pull the beast off of the dragonborn. Lightning flashes from his sword, but snaps harmlessly from the cobblestones.
Lightning Lure on G2: 15 vs. Fortitude..
And then he fails all three saves: 8, 2, 2.

Setil calls over to the nearby dragonborn, "I'll try to pull that one of of you, and... Sorry."
Setil provokes with a ranged attack. Lightning Lure = 16 vs. Fort. Save vs. Daze = 1. Save vs. Random = 5. Somebody say unlikely.

Setil:The daze you inflicted was enough of a shock to let you squirm free of the grell's clutches. My bad, I forgot to mention in my earlier post.

choose Random Melee target (save ends)

I forgot to roll a save against the randomly choosing targets, so we can call it even. But hey it's a 1 so nevermind.

Setil is hurt and doesn't bother trying to break free of the creature's grasp. Instead his sword glows with holy energy as he hacks at the creature.

Healing Strike on G4 31 vs. AC 11 damage and G4 is marked (still) and I spend a healing surge (23 hp). I'll also activate the daily power of my sword as a free action. G4 is dazed until the end of my next turn, or if it's evil or chaotic evil it's dazed (save ends). Save = 2.
