Aeilín Ardghail's page

Hmm… Thornkeep put me up to 3rd level. Is that a deal-breaker for this game?

Not yet--no scanner this weekend, and I haven't gotten them together yet today.

Aren’t they available in PDF form? I’m a big fan of those.

Grats, Muusa!

I am on normal progression. So is Simon.

Aeilín shakes her hand in the air, still tingling from the shock. Firming her resolve she tries again with the different gems in the order Simon suggested.

True, and some we got off of goblin corpses, so that could have been anywhere. I’ll try again, doing what you said; if that doesn’t work, I’ll make a small change – going in a star-pattern.

If that doesn’t work:

“Yes, I’d forgotten.”

Let’s review. We have the different stones – is there any other info we have? What order did we get them in?      Also, can we assume someone goes back to get the stirge gems, or do we need to run through that?

Aeilín nods, inserting the gems as suggested by Simon. She inserts a ruby into the top slot in the circle, then pauses before adding the other red stones. She holds back the garnets, finally adding them to the circle, if nothing else happens.

Door of 7 Stars

“Well done. Let’s get some rest, and we can try to open the door after.”

All the gems aren't the same, but we've got 7, right? It's worth a shot.

“Perhaps we should harvest those gems, as well...”

Wait, how many statues were there? What are the chances there are more of these hiding in other statues?

Aeilín eyes the gemstones, then back at the statue with a furrowed brow. “Could these be part of the key to opening the door?”

Aeilín brings her blade crashing down on the cornered creature, to (hopefully) end it once and for all.

(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, RAGE, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 5) + 10 = 19

Aeilin swings her massive blade again, strained by the creatures’ poison.

(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, RAGE, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (7, 3) + 10 = 20

Aeilín knocks away the brunt of the creature’s claws with her blade, but is unable to connect with her riposte.

Fort, Rage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, RAGE, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (3, 6) + 10 = 19

Thanks, Nect. Now I have that in my head.               The dice hate us all... the dice hate us all...

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Aeilín is staggered by the the blow, regaining her feet shakily and slashing at the nearest attacker.

(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, RAGE, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 8) + 10 = 20

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15   Aeilín likewise sees nothing.

“Calm yourself, Simon. You took a nasty blow. Whatever it was – it’s gone, now.”

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

“Have we any choice?”

Nect, are you likely to use that arrow? neither of us have great modifiers, but mine’s a little better. I’m much more of a front-liner, though, so if you’re likely to use it at some point, I’m all for you having it.

Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Anyone else have a bow?

With the treasure stowed securely, Aeilín procures the enchanted arrow, and moves along with the others.

Aeilín steps in and flails uselessly at the nearest goblin.

Bloodrage: 2/7

That's what happens when I leave a post open too long. At least it's done!

Either way – I was just explaining my motives there. The fear effect is gone, this round?

Aeilín shakes off the terror brought on by the goblin’s spell. Even more furious for succumbing to the fear, she rushes in to slash at the little green lump near Kerastes.

(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, RAGE, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15
Damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12

Bloodrage: 1/7

Since she had stepped back, I considered anything within 180 degrees (90 - 270) to be 'away'.

I can add on distance to make 50', but I should still be able to choose direction.

Characters who are frightened are shaken, and in addition they flee from the source of their fear as quickly as they can. They can choose the paths of their flight. Other than that stipulation, once they are out of sight (or hearing) of the source of their fear, they can act as they want. If the duration of their fear continues, however, characters can be forced to flee if the source of their fear presents itself again. Characters unable to flee can fight (though they are still shaken).

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4
Will Save: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

Thanks anyway, Muusa. Wuh wuh wuuuuhhhh....

Aeilín flees, driven by the goblin’s spell.

Aeilín lashes out at the repugnant goblin as he flames wash over the bloodrager.

reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

AOO on caster?
(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, Power Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 7) + 7 = 18
Elemental Strike, Electric: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Rage, Attack on smelly caster
(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, RAGE, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 8) + 10 = 20
Elemental Strike, Electric: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Rushing forward, Aeilín takes a sild swing at the nearest goblin, blade sparking on the wall nearby.

Oh, dice...
(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, Power Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (5, 3) + 7 = 15

With Muusa, Nect, and Simon suggesting a rest, I think we have a majority. If we do that, are there any kinds of rolls any of us can make to try to boost Aeilín's save against that negative level?

I’d already rolled it, since Simon suggested resting, and I thought it would happen while I was away. Unless Carbide wants another roll.

Aeilín moves forward, her blade slashing down with a ferocity that belies her condition.

(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, Power Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 - 1 = 17
Damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (5, 3) + 7 = 15

I’m still affected by the negative level, right? We haven’t rested while I was gone?

Hey, I’m back – I was catching up on all my games today.

Though not quite as hale as normal, Aeilín steps forward and delivers a massive attack at the nearest life-sucking fiend.

(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, Power Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 1 = 22     Crit?
Confirm: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 1 = 14
Damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 4) + 7 = 18
Bonus Damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (5, 3) + 7 = 15

I'm assuming that the negative level is still in effect, and the numbers reflect this assumption.

Ditto: I will be out of town between 11/5 and 11/13. My posting will be limited to a few hours in the evenings (-6 GMT). GMPC me as necessary on those dates. I will check in when I can.

When it comes time for that fort save, here's my roll:

Fort Save DC14: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15    Phew!

Acrobatics, neg level, guidance: 1d20 - 4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) - 4 - 1 + 1 = 8

>25% (?): 1d100 ⇒ 98

Aeilín shuffles across the timbers. Her breath catches as the wood creaks, and dust rains down on her head... finally across the gap, she breathes a sigh of relief.

EDIT: and sorry suggesting you go at the back, Aeilín. I swear I'm not trying to get you killed. :/

Sure, sure...

Weakened, with no magical options to speak of, Aeilín shuffles back toward Kerastes. Shield held before her, she hopes the extra armor offers some protection against the ghastly spectre.
5' Step back

Was there a save roll for the negative level, or do I automatically get it, and take a save roll every day?

Sorry for the wait. busy day. While raging, with no shield, my AC is 16

Aeilín’s fury redoubles; her blade slashes through the air, an electric arc interwoven with the blur of the sword’s path.

(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, RAGE, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 3) + 10 = 15
Elemental Strike 1/3; + electric damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

As the dead shuffle into a semblance of life, an instant of fear sparks an inferno of anger, and Aeilín lashes out wildly at the wight.

Rage 1/7
(L) MW Cold Iron Bastard Sword, RAGE, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 1) + 10 = 12

“Be vigilant, the dead walk, here.” Aeilín says, the recent battle with the skeletons fresh in her memory. “I take no joy in desecration, but we should ensure that their sleep is eternal.” With that, she makes her way around the edge of the room, to flank the corpses should they rise.

Assuming she makes it that far, Aeilín will hug the wall and work around in a clockwise path, and nod to the others when ready.

“Quiet, like after snowfall...” Aeilín begins to say, but no sound escapes her lips.

No, not like snowfall after all. Shrugging at the casters among them Aeilín wonders at the explanation. Like as not, they won’t be able to explain it, here...

Aeilín begins moving forward along the left wall.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Retrieving her shield, Aeilín stows it and her morningstar again eyeing the door Muusa indicates. “Then let’s move forward.”

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

When everyone is lined up and ready, Aeilín will open the door.

Aeilín does not even wince at the shallow gash, focused as she is on her enemy. Shield clattering to the floor, she grips her mace tightly in both hands. Winding back, she swings the morningstar squarely at the animated skull before her.

MW Silver Morningstar, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage, 2H: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Aeilín’s shield clatters with the impact of swiping bone, and she returns a misdirected swipe with her morningstar.

Attack nearest skelly
MW Silver Morningstar, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage, 1H: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Aeilín continues to run up the stairs at a full sprint, rounding the platform to face a pair of the shambling dead.

Double Move

Aeilín rushes forward, struggling to keep up with her comrades in her bulky armor.

Double Move

“Form up behind me. We can move forward in a line, denying them a clear target.”

Well, that didn't work as expected.

Aeilín stifles a sigh as the others rush forward in a broad wall of targets, heedless of her plan. She hustles forward, using the archanist as cover.

Retriving her shield and mace, Aeilín steps forward. “Form up behind me. We can move forward in a line, denying them a clear target.”

AC is up to 20

Aeilín nods, following the shambling corpse, and staying well away from the chasm’s edge.

“I suppose it is... useful.” Aeilín grudgingly agrees, watching the macabre collection of bones do its work. “I wonder – is that to be our fate someday? Denied eternal rest, to do the bidding of.. whoever? I find the idea more than a little unsettling.”

Ah, I’d forgotten about old ‘Bonesy McSkeletor’. To the STAIRS!

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Not really, but short of you guys hauling me up on a rope, I don’t think I’d make it. I don’t think we’re in a terrible hurry, but we can try that, if you guys want to go first.

“It seems advisable to track him down, anyway...”

Pulling off her heavy armor and strapping it to her pack, Aeilín sets to climbing up clad in her chain shirt.

Climb/take 10: 10 + 5 = 15

Yup

Stowing her mace and shield, Aeilín retrieves her massive blade, heading up the stairs warily.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Stealth: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4           Klunk, klunk, klunk...

“Traps? We could throw one of the goblin corpses at it... See if that works?” Aeilín muses.
