The Dapper Slapper and his Amazing Friends! (Vigilante Playtest) (Inactive)

"Be careful my companions, who knows what degenerate dangers lay in wait for us here."

Psykoblade tries to use his abilities to figure out whats going on.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

If we look at fighters as the baseline for damage always being consistently high, and then look to other full BAB classes we see that all of them, excluding the Slayer which is just fighter v2, trade that consistent damage for their "time to shine" moments where they're allowed to do obscene damage.

Challenge, Smite, Rage (powerful blow), Favored Enemy, etc.

Where does an Avenger shine?

Skills? Slayer has them beat there and does more damage, Lore Warden too.

What is their "moment in the sun"?

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

perc: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

This is unfair ;~;

Thankfully we just needed a 15.

Slapper stumbles across a hidden trapdoor under the dirt and straw of the floor. It appears to be locked.

"Hah, a secret hideout no doubt! Perhaps we are soon to encounter our arch Nemesis!?"

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Another pointless obstacle. It's almost a shame, really. This will take but a moment."

Take 10, 23.

Quick as a flash, Blackjack flips open the crude padlock keeping the trapdoor shut.

Upon opening the trapdoor, a waft of hot air comes up from the inside, almost suffocating in its oppressive heat.

"A sauna!? Splendid!" says the Slapper as he begins to descend.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Feels more like a gateway to Hell itself. Now THAT would make this whole case a lot more interesting."

Blackjack follows Slapper.

It gets even hotter as you descend until you find yourself, puzzlingly, in a cave.

Outside the cave is an arid landscape, periodically swept by storms of fire.

Kn. Planes?

This room seems to still be noticeably cooler than it should be given the surroundings. It's protected from the heat somehow.

At the opening of the cave is a large (over 10 feet tall), muscular humanoid with crimson skin. Its eyes are filled with the light of dying embers, and small black horns jut from its forehead. As it moves, wisps of smoke rise from its body.

Kn. Planes also applies.

"Who dares enter my cave without permission?" it booms "You are not the mortal I have bargained with!"

Know Planes: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Know Planes: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Psykoblade attempts to recall the malicious nature of this malfesant.

Psykoblade can deduce that since there is no wailing and gnashing of teeth in the air (which I imagine would be quite painful), this is not Hell or the Abyss, so is probably the Plane of Fire.

On the other hand, he's got no idea what this creature is.

" Though the flames seem as harsh as those of hell it is simply the plane of fire. "

"Oh, well that's a relief."

So nobody feels like having a chat with yon Outsider?

"Well enough talk, HAVE AT YOU!" it cries.

3d20 ⇒ (17, 5, 6) = 28

1d20 ⇒ 20

The creature fires three rays of fire, one for each of you.

Black Ray: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 3) = 15

Dapper Ray: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 3) = 15

Psyko Ray: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 4) = 11

And then disappears from sight!

Blackjack take 15 Fire damage, Dapper Slapper take 15 Fire damage, and Psykoblade take 11 Fire damage. And Blackjack, Psykoblade, then the Dapper Slapper.

"I say good sir, are you the one supplying that despot we dispatched with his little embers? I must ask you to a cease and desist or face the sting of my slap."

The Dapper Slapper makes his threats mere milliseconds before taking a ray of fire directly to his mouth!

"You wot mate!?"

Psykoblade readies an action to utilize Waves when the creature appears again.

' You might taste the flames of the planes but now taste the the pain of Waves. "

Waves Blast: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Waves Blast Blast: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Wow swift action Invis

"Show yourself, coward! Your little pet was much braver!"

Blackjack draws his bow and readies to shoot.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
1d6 ⇒ 4

After Slapper:

The Efreeti shows himself and, just to be a dick, fires some more rays after taking an arrow and a bullet to the chest and shrugging them off.

Black Ray 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 5) = 13

Dapper Ray 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 1) = 6

Psyko Ray 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 3, 3) = 14

And then even more!

You get a ray!: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

And you get a ray!: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 5, 3) = 11

Everybody gets a ray!: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 2, 6) = 18

Blackjack takes 13 damage, Dapper takes 17 damage, and Pyskoblade takes a whopping 32 damage and is knocked out cold! Or hot, as the case may be.

Well isnt it a lucky bastard

Stabilize: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (15) - 4 = 11

"Your rudeness is noted, now, prepare for the slap!"

What did the five fingers say to the face?: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
SLAP!: 1d3 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

The Efreeti puts a hands to its face. It gingerly touches the even redder mark on its face, and a single tear rolls down its face.

It cringes away from The Dapper Slapper...and promptly fires more rays.

Three to you...: 3d20 ⇒ (14, 6, 5) = 25

12d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 6, 3, 4, 4, 6, 1, 5, 6, 2) = 48

And three to Blackjack: 3d20 ⇒ (4, 19, 2) = 25

8d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 2, 1, 2, 6, 3, 1) = 22

Game over. Continue?

"My only regret...is not getting the chance to crash through a skylight...*cough*...and land on some hired goon before proceeding to beat up his goon friends...bleh."

Blackjack awakens to a slap on the face, The Dapper Slapper and Psykoblade peering at him with gentlemanly concern and "heroic" apathy respectively.

You are informed that you passed out from heatstroke climbing down the ladder, and you merely imagined everything that just transpired.

Instead, as you awaken the three of you notice a normal sized human man with tattoos all over his mostly naked form.

"Why do you disturb my home? Where is the mortal I brokered the deal between he and my master, the Sultan of Efreet?"

Kn. Planes again applies.

Note to self, find an all-black costume that breathes more.

"Well, I didn't think you'd mind if I just popped in for a quick nap."

"And about that mortal...seems there was some conflict between his pact with your master, and local laws concerning arson. And by pure coincidence, he found himself in need of a nap as well."

Blackjack draws his rapier. The slightest hint of a grin shows under his mask.

"Which makes me wonder...just how tired are you feeling right now?"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

It looks confused.

"...Not tired at all? I did just have a good nap."

Headed to bed soon, but I'll roll Init. Feel free to banter some more.

3d20 ⇒ (8, 18, 4) = 30

1d20 ⇒ 11

Slapper and Blackjack are up before dudebro here.

The Slap of Dap always allows his opponents to make the first move.

Delay.

A true gentleman would flank with his sneak-attacking ally.

"You seem to have misunderstood my metaphor. Allow me to give you a more practical demonstration."

Blackjack dashes forward and jabs the man twice.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
1d6 + 5 + 3d4 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (1, 3, 3) = 15

Open the door: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Get on the floor: 1d6 + 5 + 3d4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (1, 3, 2) = 13

How twice?

Once from his first attack, the second I assume from up close and Personal.

Leave an Opening, actually.

Yes... That

A true gentleman would flank with his sneak-attacking ally.

The Slapper allows this, he instead moves up to his opponent and merely readies the Palm of Justice.

Slap: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
Damage: 1d3 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Blackjack shanks him not once, but twice, and when the man goes to act, The Dapper Slapper smacks him one as well.

Irritated, he swings his Falchion at Blackjack.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
Attack 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

The dice screwing him once again!

" Taste the despair "

Psykoblade Blast: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Psykoblade Blast Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Waves Blast: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Waves Blast Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The man is electrocuted, but his twitching around makes him squirm out of the way of Waves' bullet!

"Your sword is large and clearly compensating for something, smell the glove!"

Smell the Glove: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Damage: 1d3 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Wilbur contemplates how he should write his autobiography when he decides to retire:

Meet Wilbur Monroe, Lawful Neutral gentleman, but by night! He becomes; The Dapper Slapper, Lawful Neutral gentleman.

With a hat that has the same magical ability as Clark Kent's glasses!

Blackjack strikes the man once, but this time barely misses with the second thrust.

"Think fast!"

In the blink of an eye, he throws his cape in the man's face, then dances and cartwheels around him before returning to his original position. This confusing maneuver leaves Tattoo Man completely off-balance, and a moment later he finds Blackjack's rapier plunged deep into his back!

Stab!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
1d6 + 5 + 3d4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (2, 3, 2) = 14
Leave an Opening!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
1d6 + 5 + 3d4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + (3, 1, 4) = 18

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Now it's (up close and) personal!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
1d6 + 5 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (3, 5, 5) = 20

He is rocked by the force of the slap, honed for years in the Slap Temples of Slapbet, but refuses to fall.

Blackjack is so sneaky he can sneak in a post before the GM!

"Your day of reckoning is close at hand!" The Slapper threatens.

Get it!? Hahaha!

"I think he gets the point."

"Noooooooo!" it cries, before expiring from Backjack's deep, forceful thrust into his unprotected flesh.

"Well then, let's have a peek around shall we?"

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Slapper notices a heat shimmer in the air. The temperature seems to be cranking up considerably.
