Skug's page

Chronicle looks good, thank you for running :-)

Finalize a Report: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

I'm actually going to sit out the next round. I won't be playing much until I finish GMing this huge batch of evergreens.

Double Move. Store the dire flail, draw a longbow.

Does that also mean I am out of orange's reach?

Withdraw

Did anybody take an AoO on Takahiro when he stepped forward? I need to spread those out, or I'm going to end up unconscious before I even get to rage.

@GM: I love the way you just did the tokens for mirror image. I am so stealing that idea! Are orange and purple both on the ground, such that I can be adjacent to both at the same time?

@GM: Red and orange just showed us 10- and 15-ft. reach, respectively?

Double move

Skug follows Eadie's lead, "You have plan? Skug do too!"

Skug looks around at the swinging chains and dried blood, and listens to the excruciating moans, then claps Eadie on the back and grins at her, "You safe with Skug. Skug break chains."

Skug draws a red-bladed gladius, tosses it in the air, then catches and sheathes it in a single, fluid motion. "Smoke do once. Man told lies."

Skug rushes in front of Eadie and takes an enormous backswing. "Brax break!"

Skug straps on his climbing kit and looks for a place to secure everyone's ropes. "Skug like climb."

Sometimes I really miss having a 9-5 job.

Same here. One day I love it, the next day I'm wondering how I could have been so crazy.

Same as Oleander, I'm going to wait to see the result of others' actions before choosing which arrows to shoot.

Can anybody identify the tables/creatures? Do they have hardness? I have adamantine arrows if that will help destroy them. I also have a potion of cure serious wounds and a scroll of cure critical wounds.

@GM: Could I touch the wall next to me with stone shape and cause it to close the alcove, blocking off the other table?

Since the trap has been identified by the time my action triggers, I'm going to move to a different spot.

Rethinking his tactics, Skug moves into the corner, drawing a longbow along the way.

Do the tables try to grab Eadie and Eglantine before my action triggers?

Skug may be a moron out of combat, but fighting is the one thing he knows well. If the actions played out the way I think they did, I'd assume the witch is drawing us into a trap. And I'm trying to kill her, not help her :-Þ

@Eadie: Is that the square you wanted?

My interpretation has always been no. I wasn't limited to a standard action at the start of my turn. Along the same lines, I also count movement before and after a readied action for whether a PC can 5-ft. step.

No, I will not be able to attack. I'm readying a plain old move action, but hoping to take an AoO at the end.

Skug sprints to the end of the hallway, then pauses before charging the annoying hag.

Is Skug hasted too?

Could we possibly color code the enemies? I can't tell who is who.

Singing horribly off key and grinning, Skug goes to play like it's recess and the creature in front of Oleander is the weak kid everybody picks on. "Skug kills quick. Brax kills fast. Skug bites deep. Brax hits hard."

The highest I got was GMing 8 tables and playing in ~10. The workload was manageable, but post quality definitely suffered.

Edit: Pardon me, I'm losing it tonight.

That NEVER happens to me. But if it did, theoretically, I would empathize with you.

Looks like I've played #7-09 in regular and #7-23 in core.

Skug rushes up the chains like a spider, then tries to somersault behind the enemy caster. "Skug kill now! Skug have fun!"

Skug starts gnashing his large tusks and wringing the chain in his hands, eager to fight.

3 damage marked, and my Climb modifier is +10, so can't fail.

Scroll charge expended.

Skug nods at Eadie and begins climbing back down. Once on the ground, he helps Xichi put on the climber's kit, and demonstrates some simple techniques.

@Xichi: That's +4 with my aid and kit. Adding the knotted rope to that might let you succeed even on a 1.

@Eadie: I've got 100 ft. of silk rope, so 50 ft. of knots.

@Takahiro: Use one of my scrolls on Oleander's strength damage?

Once he reaches the top, Skug removes his climber's kit and drops it to the floor, "Look out!" then secures his rope and begins hauling people up.

Climb modifier is +10 without the kit, so auto-succeed on aid checks.

Skug watches Eadie a moment, then slides into a harness and spikes and ties a long, knotted rope around his own waist. Once the fighter starts up a chain, Skug clambers onto the one next to hers. Take 10 Climb is 22. Rope is 50 ft. with knots.

If necessary, use a charge from my scroll of lesser restoration on Oleander.

I'm pretty much worthless at the moment. Can't roll a d20 to save an elf's life, and my only useful item or ability is a cloak of resistance +1. I'll happily throw that over Oleander's shoulders though, once we drag her back up.

Skug hurriedly tries to pull Oleander out of the pit.

Anyone got a restoration?

5 castings of lesser.

I rolled a 3, so the specifics of the ruling are completely irrelevant to my failure :-)

I probably need to make some sort of check to stop the fall, so here's a random d20: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Skug quickly leans back, knees bent, and yanks on the rope. "Skug catch elf!"

Skug looks sideways at Eadie, "Door not door? Where door?"

I'm not sure "bold" is the right word, but half the fun of a character like Skug is risking his life on stupidity :-) Oh and his max Perception is 18, so he only finds traps by setting them off.

Skugs nods at Eadie, "Skug leap frogs."

"Skug kill now!" And before the sentence is even finished, Skug gives Brax a playful swing and moves forward.

@Eadie: I'm fine going first or second, depending on whether you want Skug to find the traps or do it yourself :-)

@Eadie: Skug has a monosyllabic vocabulary, so "magic" becomes "spells", "patience" becomes "pay sense", etc.

The big half-orc smiles for Eadie, "Skug wait. Skug have pay sense."

Skug flashes some tusk at Eadie, "Skug smell fight. Fight this way."

I'll be at a convention this weekend. If you need to bot Skug, just have him run into combat and bash/bash/bite. Don't worry about rage or any of his special abilities, I'll save that for later combats.

The following are on my to-GM list:

Although the next scenario I run is going to be #6-98: Serprent's Rise, so anything else would have to wait until that finishes.

I can play:

"Skug bring Brax. Brax bring Pain!" The half-orc shouts as he rushes ahead looking for someone to fight.

Granta can't see him on the map, and that is preventing Skug from stupidly charging into an unknown, hostile situation.

Can I see the figure on the throne?
