Abraxi's page

Abraxi glances at his companions, wondering of any of them know what sort of foe this phantom is. "Anyone know what these things are? Do normal weapon hurt them?"

KN: dungeoneering?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Drawing his axe, he studies the phantom.

Apologies for my absence. Unexpected company over the holiday coupled with 48 hour stomach flu/food poisoning has kept me incommunicado. Catching up today.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
KN:planes: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Abraxi peers at the Roidirans then nods in agreement with Lynn and Drorlud. "Seems odd, to have tears, I agree."

Pointing, he says. "Maybe we could circle around to the south and see what is down those steps."

Abraxi squints at the lower inscription, unable to read it. "Anyone know what the lower inscription says?" He says quietly, then nods to the two Roidirans. "And..what to do about those two? Just approach them?"

As the lizard collapses from its wounds, Abraxi lowers his axe and, chest heaving, turns to Lynn. "Your healing is much appreciated. You have my thanks."

Wiping the blood from his arm, he sheathes his axe, then rummages through his pack. Producing a wand, he holds it out to Lynn. "If you be so kind to finish healing my wounds with this wand...."

Assuming Lynn complies: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5 Close enough

Once healed, he shows his gear and shoulders his pack. "I know nothing of magical boots, but I am ready when everyone else is."

Im terribly sorry if this is getting frustrating for people. im slightly confused by your damage roll though Eamon, do I not get to also roll the extra d6 for sneak attack too? ill do both anyway and can pick the correct outcome!

@Drorlud: If you check in the Core rulebook under the Rogue sneak attack entry, you'll see;

Sneak Attack: If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.

The rogue's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.

With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.

The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.

Generally, if you score a Crit in this game, extra damage dice like sneak attack are not multiplied, while modifiers like Str, ect. are.

At work and can't edit map.

Abraxi seizes upon his opportunity and steps south into the spot vacated by Eamon, and lifts his axe high into the air.

Power Attack, Studied, Inspire, Flank: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9
Sneak: 1d6 ⇒ 1 Stinkin' "1"s!

With a roar, he brings his axe down with a vicious swing at the lizard!

@Drorlurd

You can certainly add dice rolls together, such as damage and sneak, so if you had a weapon doing d8 damage and sneak, it would look something like this

Damage plus Sneak: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (3) + 1 = 7

dice=Damage plus Sneak]1d8+1d6+1

Some people also just stack the rolls if they don't know if the creature is immune to sneak, thus making it easier for the GM to parse

Sneaky Attack!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Sneak: 1d6 ⇒ 6

As you play in more PbPs, you'll see different styles of formatting and cam eventually decide what you like best for yourself.

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Abraxi's eyes betray a bit of surprise as the lizard charges, bites him, and latches onto his torso. Using the butt end of his axe in one hand to beat on the creative's head, and attempting to prise open its jaw with his other hand, the tiefling struggles to break free!

CMB to break free plus studied: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27 Nice!

Free from its jaws, he regrips his axe and readies to repay the attack.

Abraxi tilts his head back and forth elliciting a couple loud crack and grins, glad to have some physical activity to engage in. Taking a moment, he studies the lizard, then moves southwest, drawing his greataxe along the way.

Can't edit map atm. Moving 30' due SE, and studying target.

Abraxi's eyes lose focus as he concentrates on the information. "That is most useful information, milady. It is much appreciated, thank you." He says with a short, stiff bow.

He takes a step backward, ready to take leave if his companions have no questions.

Abraxi nods his head in recognition of the woman's insight. "Not bad..." He says with an impressed air.

Abraxi counts out the twenty gold pieces and turns with the nottle of wine in his hand. Looking up his sees Eamon and quickly realizing the man has come to the same conclusion, holds out the bottle of fine wine. "Here, we'll be better off if you present the gift." He says.

Abraxi stands silently behind his fellows and listens to the exchange.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
KN: Local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Looking thoughtful, Abraxi quietly backs away and looks for a place to purchase a bottle of wine.

Abraxi peers around the room, his gaze eventually settling on the white-robed woman. "I'd wager that is who we are looking for." He says, nodding in the general direction.

Having little luck getting anyone to talk to him, Abraxi follows Drorlund outside and waits with the failed card cheat.

Picking at his teeth with his knife, he listens to Ramon, shrugs then nods at the plan, and stifles a yawn with the back of his hand. "Seems like a solid plan. I can go with it."

Abraxi wanders aimlessly through the tavern, disappointed in himself and not able to contribute.

Abraxi follows the party into the tavern and pauses to take in the crowd and establishment.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Frowning as he feels he is unable to pick up any cues, he moves around looking for games of chance.

Abraxi nods in agreement. "Agreed. The best starting place would seem to be the tavern."

Having questions he can think of, Abraxi stands quietly and shakes his head.

Abraxi manages to stifle a snort as Ramon speaks, then begins to speak in support of the man's statement. But, as the priestess divulges her motive, he falls silent and listens. Smiling, he runs his hands together. "At last we arrive at the heart of the matter. I'm sure my companions will agree to such an.....excursion. What information can youh provide us of the area we would be traveling to? Isolated? Heavily guarded? Possible to approach unnoticed?"

Abraxi searches his memory for anything he might know that could add to the conversation.

KN: local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

"Perhaps it would be better if you could enlighten us, High Priestess. And, explain what are your concerns over the factions." He says quietly.

Suddenly feeling a bit... out of place in the presence of such a commanding and beautiful woman, Abraxi unconsciously takes a few steps backward and allows his companions to do the talking.

Abraxi frowns as his new companions volunteer the group for an acting job. Crossing his arms, he listens to "job" requirement, and shakes his head. Finally, grudgingly, he offers. "I could probably portray Rovagug, I'd think scary enough." He give a very grin to his new companions. "Who knows, Rovagug might be a distant relative of mine....."

Abraxi grimaced, then clambers into the device and begin to channel his inner Beast.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

At Stonelance's comment Abraxi snorts and grins. At Eamon's retort, Abraxi smorts even louder and shakes his head as he follows along.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Abraxi follows along with his party, keeping a sharp eye out. At Drorlud's statement, he nods. "Agreed."

Abraxi pads into the meeting room, nods to Eamon, then finds a chair to sit in. Pulling another chair close, he outs his feet up and crossed his arms behind his head.

Waiting for Eamon to read the letter, Abraxi closes his eyes and waits. Upon the man's statement, he opens one eye a slit. "Diplomatic mission?" He queries, then let's out a heavy sigh.

Tektite here. I'm going to bring Abraxi as he is my lowest level PC and I don't want to hold up the game while trying to decide on a character idea.

Cursing, Abraxi continues slogging through the water, moving to cutoff the caster's antics.

double move

Abraxi contiues slogging through the water toward the woman. He manages to move up behind Manny.

Still can't edit map, double move to behind Manny

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Abraxi manages to close his eyes at just the right moment and avoids being blinded by the glitter.

"Elf! Move out of my way!" Abraxi bellows.

If Steve moves out of the way, Abraxi will charge the woman.

Charging Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 - 1 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 6 + 1 = 22
Images: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Abraxi moves up and swings his axe at the little squid-y

Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 6 = 16

Abraxi peers around the whale's interior as he searches out the source of the whispering, then turns his attention back the creature approaching.

Perception (whispering): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Closing his eyes for a moment, Abraxi appears to concentrate as his form begins to waver and morph, muscles rippling as he begins taking on goblinoid characteristics.

SLA alter self STR +2

Abraxi's eyes widen as the dead whale porpoises out of the bay, then merely shakes his head as the party begins boarding the cadeverous cetacean.

When the swashbucklers move to stop the party, Abraxi draws his axe and steps up to the one in green leathers, then takes a swing!

Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 1 = 17
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 3 = 19

Abraxi spends the first part of the day meandering through town looking for people that seem most susceptible to his companions' persuasive arguments. "Have you ever met Pathfinders? Despite the rumors you've heard, the Society is a very upstanding organization."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

After lunch, Abraxi tries chatting up the populace, hoping to get some leads on the best way to persuade the populace.

"Look, I'm no local, I don't know the lay of the land. Which way is best whem trying to convince the citizenry of our noble intentions?"

KN: local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Abraxi takes a step north, studies the strix, then fires another arrow.
.

Abraxi curses as the remaining strix disappears from sight, then moves further into the courtyard, his bow at the ready.

Abraxi studies the strix then fires an arrow at it.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"We don't have to fight!" Abraxi hollers as he draws a bow and fires at the red feathered strix.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Abraxi whispers to his companions. "Do you think talking is an option?"

Abraxi steps forward and reads over the letter, then shrugs, handing it back to Dave. "I seems, on its face, to be a equitable deal. I have no qualms, let us be off if everyone agrees."

Abraxi shrugs at Dave's suggestion. "I'm not sure who else we could talk to."

Abraxi feels Omar's song stir his blood as he steps west and swings his axe at the man in blue.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 28
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 15

Confirm?: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 28
Extra Damage: 2d12 + 8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12, 7) + 8 + 6 + 2 = 35

Cannot edit map

Abraxi lifts into the air and the ceiling of the corridor as he draws his axe. Flying over Mani's head, he swings hard at the scorpion.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 1 = 8
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 3 = 15

And misses badly.

Abraxi spits and swears loudly as the bottleneck stays bottlenecked.

Pulling a potion fron his pack, his pulls the stopper with his teeth, spits it to the ground, then drinks it. His feet begin to lift imperceptibly of the ground.

Drink potion of fly

Belated Merry Christmas.

Quick note, I will be traveling to Aruba for a week vacation. Leaving this evening and returning next Saturday. My only posting opportunities will be whem I have WiFi at the hotel, so unfortunately my trend of sparse posting will continue for another week.

Abraxi raises his eyebrows, but does not say anything.

How high are the ceilings?

What kind of battle plan is that? That thing is too big to follow anyone down this hallway.

"Exactly. It is a dumb beast, it will squeeze itself into the narrow hall in pursuit."

"We need to get in behind it."

"It is blocking the entire doorway! How do plan on getting in behind it?!"

Abraxi nods as the Hellknight pushes forward. When the door opens, Abraxi stains to see over Mani's shoulder. Nudging Jake, he says. "Step back, I need to make room for Manius."

"Manius, step backward and draw it into the corridor."

Delay
