None of those knowledges were the right kind. =)

Well, then at least I know it's not Fey, Magical Beast, Undead, Giant or Outsider ^^

BTW, why the hell do we use Kn(Nature) to identify Giants??? Kn(Local) or even (Dungeon) would make more sense...

Kn Arcane: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

It IS Local now, Giants were changed to Humanoids (they used to be Monstrous Humanoids, covered by Nature). Also Arcana ain't right either.

It is probably dungeeonering. If Jorikko do not have it then we shoudl pay a sage or something.

That's some hardcore metagaming right thurr. =p

Not really... If we know a lot about fey, undead, outsiders, monstrous humanoids, dragons, magical creatures and whatever and the the description of the creature doesn't match anything we know, then it makes sense to assume it's not one of those things... Either that or the creature is way too powerful (and why would such creature be lurking in the sewers?) or unusually rare (and if it's so rare, it's probably not it). It also makes sense to assume that a creature living in an uderground dungeon might be familiar to those who study dungeon-dwelling creatures.

Whatevers :P, how much cost to ask that question to a sage?

Jorriko has Kn(Dungeons) let's see what he knows

kn dungeoneering: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

You think it might be a Cloaker. Ya spoilsports. =p

You think it might be a Cloaker. Ya spoilsports. =p

That's what Knowledges checks are for! ^^

So, what are we waiting? lets kill that thing

Korak answers the Sorceress with a laugh and heavy tap on Jorriko's shoulder.

"I suppose we are waiting for the team's tracker and trap-spotter to show us the way."

I take 10 on Perception all the time, for a total of 20.

track: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

The group descends into the sewer, Jorriko leading the way in the hopes of finding the creature's trail, and Korak bringing up the rear on lookout. I assume.

Jorriko quickly tracks the thing back to where it killed the thugs, but loses its trail for a moment as he tries to follow it further.

New trail, new Survival check, basically.

New trail, new Survival check, basically.

Admit it, you just want to stop him from using that 19 out of revenge for his Knowledge check! lol. ;)

yeah, bad rynjin

This sucks. I probably will need to bath 10 times when we finish the mission.

It's not a difficult check, really. =p

track: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

perception + detect magic: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

Jorriko picks up the trail again and leads the group through the sewers.

After about 15 minutes, he reaches the end of the trail, a circular hub connecting 4 sewer tunnels, which appears to be the thing's "nest". Bones and other refuse litter the area, though not all of the junk appears to be worthless, at least to Jorriko's trained eye.

Drow sign language: Now what? Does somebody see that thing?, Should I cast my defensive spells on you now?

perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Drow sign language: They attack from above

Jorriko doesn't see anything new with his second scan of the room.

Do y'all do anything in particular, or just look around?

rummage through the nest looking for goodies

Jorriko goes digging through a pile of refuse, seeing something shiny in the largest pile.

He grabs a hold of it and pulls it out...only to notice that it is attached to a tail.

The creature they had come to slay rears up, covered in fungus and other trash, and opens its mouth widely.

The group starts feeling uneasy, almost nervous the closer they are to the creature.

Everybody takes a -2 on attack and damage rolls. Jorriko's turn, followed by Korak, then Jo, then the Cloaker again.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d10 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Everybody takes a -2 on attack and damage rolls. Jorriko's turn, followed by Korak, then Jo, then the Cloaker again.

No save?! :(. Also how far am I from the creature?

Yeah, no save. Jorriko got high enough on the check that you can basically just have a peek at the statblock if you want. Check the "Unnerve" feature of the Moan.

As for distance, I assumed you were investigating some other part of the room, so place yourself however you want. But the room isn't that big (maybe 50 feet on a side, but the tunnels stretch farther.).

Jorriko swings at the creature, but fails to line up a proper blow in his haste, the swing harming nothing more important than a few stray bones beside the thing.

Korak, then Jo.

Next lvl I'm bumping my to hit by 3... This sucks. I'm taking weapon training, and weapon focus on top of my full (with bs rolls) BaB. It sucks being a fighter type who can't hit worth s#+#.

To be fair, it's not that your to-hit sucks, it's that your rolls are insanely bad a lot of the time. Even with a -2 to-hit you have a 50-50 shot to hit this guy, and he's CR +2 compared to you.

When I play a martial I always look for those little +1 to hit. to not hit just sucks

Yeah, no save. Jorriko got high enough on the check that you can basically just have a peek at the statblock if you want. Check the "Unnerve" feature of the Moan.

Ah, I see you missed the errata. The lastest edition of the Bestiary clearly states a very significant change: "Moan: This ability has no effect on Korak". ;)

Then again, Weapon Focus is soooo terribly boring... And Weapon Training is not much more interesting. That's why I got Rage! ^^

Come on lemmy, post korak turn

Also, I just realized I didn't attack... And Nicos took the opportunity to Ninja Sneak Attack me... -.-'

Korak charges the creatures, drawing his Bardiche and slashing at the monster's hide.

Bardiche to the Face: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 (1d20 +11 if flanking with JK)

I cast daze, DC 18 and move 10 ft away from the cloaker

You hit, but I need your damage bruh.

Korak slices into the creature with his Bardiche, wounding it and throwing up a cloud of spores, as it shrugs off Jo's spell like it hadn't even been cast.

Fort saves Korak and Jorriko.

Fearing for its life a bit, it channels some magical energy. Its form begins to blur as 6 CLoakers suddenly spawn form its area, folling its every movement!

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Future attack rolls need to roll 1d7, 7 hits the cloaker, anything else pops an image.

Is that the defensive casting save? It misses my cmd by 1...

fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

atk: 1d7 ⇒ 41d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 281d10 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

hey there are my good rolls... Oh, nm...

That was its save vs Daze. SLAs don't provoke, do they? I always thought they didn't since they have no components.

Edit: Actually, I dun goofed. It's a Su ability, and it's a Free action. It still gets to attack. =) Thanks Jorriko.

The Cloaker surges forward at its aggressor, trying to engulf it in its folds.

Grapple: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

I don't think that even nearly beats your CMD.

Jorriko takes a swipe at the creature as it fails to grab a hold of Korak, but misses in the confusing medley of images, shattering one of them.

1d6 now.

Damage? Didn't ou see the errata? "When Cloakers are hit by Korak, they die instanly."

Badiche damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 1d6 ⇒ 4

Since Korak acts before the Cloaker, I assume I don't need to roll d6

Korak proceeds to srike the creature again with his bardiche.

Bardiche: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Well... At least I didn't have to roll a d6! -.-'

EDIT: Oops... Forgot about my save: Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

I cast daze again.

I cast daze again.

I think you might be addicted to that spell, Nicos... Consult a doctor. ^^

By the way, why are you attacking with he bardiche? the more attack you make the more mirror images you can dispel.

I'm wondering that too. It's not like the thing can't reach him...

The Cloaker deftly dodges Korak's swipe, but is then nailed by Jo's spell, stopping its movement before it can attack!

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Cloaker's up...and he can't act. Back to you Jorriko.

channel burst DC 16 for half: 1d6 ⇒ 3 That should take care of the doubles.

Ah, no. "Area spells affect you normally and do not destroy any of your figments. Spells and effects that do not require an attack roll affect you normally and do not destroy any of your figments."

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

The Cloaker grunts as he takes the magical equivalent of a slap to the face.

Korak, then Jo, and then back up to yon Cloaker man.

then which one doesn't have an magical aura of illusion around it?

Bardiche: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Illusion: 1d7 ⇒ 6 ¬¬'

"G*+!$!nit, creepie!" Shouts Korak as he swings his bardiche once again. "Why attack humanoids? Don't ya have anything better to eat? Maybe something that doesn't hire guys like us to kill ya? Like bunnies or something..."

Also, my PC is back to full health!:D

EDIT: And by PC, I mean my computer, not Korak. lol.

I mistakenly let you do that once with Invisibility. Not feeling the love for letting Detect Magic bypass all kinds of buffs completely. Besides, the easy answer for that is "None of them".

Korak, Jorriko already destroyed an image, so you needed a d6. I'll let you keep the 6. =)

The creature shrieks again in pain and releases another cloud of choking spores as Korak's weapon bites deeply into its skin!

Fort saves again.
