Doug M's Way of the Wicked (Inactive)

Game Master Douglas Muir 406

Lol - just find someone who likes rock climbing in a country where getting shot/kidnapped by rogue militias is the norm.

my brother lived there for 3 years

Goblin come to Kurgoblinstan!

well don't mess up cause bref is in charge next!

Wait. Bref was not in charge the whole time since the prion break?

Fooled me.

Whats a prion break? Did Bref break something else that I do not know about?

DM is has has prestige levels in DM but his base class is Secret Agent.

Actually, apparently there are a few people in my home town who think I'm CIA. (I'm not.) (But then, I would say that, wouldn't I.)

Doug M.

If you ever need a retired Navy EOD Senior Chief let me know.

if you ever need an actor/teacher specializing in shakespeare...

I just collect useless letters to put after my name - A.B., M.B.A., J.D. - what a waste.

just one set here

M.A.

[ooc] Ref 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

So everytime I roll dice on the GP thread it takes me to the paizo store is down, but if I just post it works. But apparently I can roll here.

Any ideas?

DMDM Bref will eat one now, and then wants to take some with him for later. Bref will scarf it down right away 1d6 ⇒ 6

Here are two more saves if needed
1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 = 19

1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30

Leaving the path is a bad idea but since you did Bref, care to share some of those you found for those who may be able to use it?

if I get multiple sure

I love Bref, but I really think that he his days in Talingarde may be numbered.

[ooc]nah he is brilliant. No really. He is now actually int 20 for a while and dex 26 if we fight we will be happy

also he is down 3 wis so I am being more reckles than my norm

Would it be Know: Dungeoneering or Know: Nature to see what those globs do.

I'm willing to bet 5 gold that they do neither what Dren nor Bref thinks they do.Trickery, remember?

Judge is going to be so pissed! lol

The Judge is always pissed.

Work on Morsum.

For the Judge's benefit, I will research the abjuration spell Block Impending Migraine between level up.

well what can bref say, he is a creature of chaos. Mostly harmless chaos, but a little bit of chaos none the less.

And he really does not respond well to threats...i mean he EATS people for kicks :)

That said I am developing my backup

I am thinking a Lorewarden/Arcane Duelist heading towards duelist. Would ask DM to let weapon finesse work on a short spear

1d10 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
1d10 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
1d10 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
1d10 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

That would give him STR 11, Con 14, CHA 17 INT 13 WIS 7 DEX 20

No can do!

This campaign won't be the same without Bref, save this guy for Jade Reagent when we all bite it.

I'm just saying. That last thing was a save or die :) bref might not be long for this world

Where are the rest of the boys?

Both my pbp have gone silent.

I think the time zone difference is hammering us a little. Still moving on, though.

I am on vacation for the next couple of days but will post daily from the hotel.

Have a fun vaca Dren.

I actually have to get some real work done today, limited time to check games.

DM, is the man on the other side of the door with the grille or on the side we are on with his back to us?

The latter. You just stepped into the cell with him.

Edmin has learned not to monologue, it has always led to a beating.

well was fun

I was totally expecting Bref to die from his own actions. (Crit from a boss is always a good way to go, mind.)

We can see if we will be allowed a raise dead.

It not Way of the Wicked without a blood lust genius goblin.

Judge, I need your help to pull something off and your bluff skill, let's withdraw to the next room and I'll cast Disguise and pretend to be the squire we met, you trade the pendant for 'my life spared'.

so lets just say that he next character will not be nearly as entertaining as bref. just a measly human.

I should have several days to figure out how to make him interesting though. He will be a meleer though

I am thinking of giving him the Human Trait Infernal Influence, basically it means there is along standing family tie to the diabolical.

Maybe his aunt got knocked up by a devil and had Jax!

1d8 ⇒ 4

1d8 ⇒ 6

We can see if we will be allowed a raise dead.

It not Way of the Wicked without a blood lust genius goblin.

Just not sure in character why we would bother? Nothing personal Bref, I would expect the same treatment for Dren.

O I don't expect him back...I hope someone burns his body though.

this has TPK written all over it

I don't play my bosses stupid, no. Nor pull punches with them.

Sir Balin captured two of you and lots of other evildoers besides. In-game, he should be a fearsome opponent for you. He's not a paladin, but he's a tough midlevel character with good stats and a head for tactics. Notice how he's eliminating you one by one instead of spreading his attacks around? Also, he's attacking the less armored characters first to get best use from his Cleaves. He'll keep doing that until you're all gone.

It's crunch time, Ninth Knot. Bring it or die.

Too bad we used all of our spells & resources on every other fight, ouch. Jax's last arcane point was all he had left for this one, and a couple of potions. He'll be spending his next two turns buffing (another scroll of shield for +4 and a shield of faith potion for +2 deflection). While professing his innocence to Balin.

Love your idea, Bref! Poor goblin T_T

I still have hopes to see Bref in this campaign.

I suggest a fighting withdrawal, bring Mr. Superman through the garden of fungi and see how he fares. At the very least when we make it to Grumblejack we have another fighter with us, who will last all of two rounds. And power up Mr. Superman's cleave.

We can stay here too, use Bluff and Disguise Self to barter for the pendant, rely on the Judge's skill and we all 'aid another' but let him do the talking.

I prefer the former, maybe the mushrooms can slow him down.

Also note that Bref was key in our Stealth team tactics and our trap finder, if we don't get him back our teams tactics will change.

Dren and Morsum have pretty good stealth, just no trapfinding...Goblin stealth is just on the broken scale...

Jax's stealth isn't terrible either. He's more likely to boost it with points now that he got the class-skill bonus from rogue.

Once I get to 4th level we will be able to even up the odds against these feeble human opponents...yes Dren is human, but he doesn't think of himself as such...lol

And a lucky 19 on another bluff check. Hey, worst case scenario, Jax is getting out of here alive <.<.

Edit: I thought we were going to have a "skin of our teeth," multi-party death, near loss win..but lying out of it works too.

I don't think we will Bluff our way out of this without most of us dying...if needed Dren will take you with him... :]

Dren, Jax had meant Morsum not the innocent looking halfling, heh.
