Andar Sevris's page

Another short-lived PbP.

He didn't have much of a catch phrase.

Thanks for letting us know. I hope things improve.

Would we need somebody with ritual casting to use the scroll?

Andar addresses the strangers: "Is there a way to destroy them permanently?"

"What was that thing?"

Kinetic trawl again 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 vs ref. 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 force damage.

Kinetic Trawl. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 vs Reflex, 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 force damage on a hit.

Andar buffets the mantis with telekinetic force.

Kinetic Trawl 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 vs Reflex. 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 force damage.

Edit: Crit for max damage = 12.

I will take I15. Initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Can I identify who might be doing the defiling? Arcana 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Andar shares what he knows about the slaves, and then takes a close look at the medallion.

History 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Edit: I think you wear it around your neck. Yeah, that's how a medallion works. I'm smart.

History 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

DM - within the context of what we've been hired for and how the caravan works, would that work?

"At the least, I think we ought to refer back to the caravan. If they move on, we may never be able to meet back with them."

"It is certainly plausible that the large beast is what was imprisoned here. Perhaps it is being pursued."

Gorad just shakes his head.... "This is what a bad mage can do and why all magic users are so feared"

At this, Andar glares briefly at Paxs.

History 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14, Arcana 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"I agree."

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Andar leads the wagons to the entrance to the subterranean chamber.

I think banking it is probably the way to go.

Do we know how the caravan generally handles water discoveries? Would we know who we should tell?

So how best do we approach the caravan? Do we simply inform them of the well and hope for reward? Do we offer to sell the knowledge?

Andar looks puzzled. "What would we do with this? We will surely cover great distances with the caravan. I don't know if I shall ever return to this place. It seems an opportunity to replenish our supplies and perhaps make a tidy sum, but I don't see the benefit in guarding it."

Paxs wrote:

"That thing in the skull will try to control people or bodies, destroy it now. I believe it is a defiler, and must be destroyed."

"Are you so discerning in your own use of power? I've seen what you can do."

"I've traveled with him longer than anyone, I've known for some time he was a mage of some kind, but he's never given me any reason to distrust him. On the sands of the arena you learn to trust your blood brothers not for what they are but for who they are."

Andar ponders Gorad's words and regards Paxs warily. "I suppose time will tell," he says, finally.

"Very well, let's destroy this vile artifact. And no doubt the caravan will be interested in the well. It's too valuable to go to waste."

"That thing in the skull will try to control people or bodies, destroy it now. I believe it is a defiler, and must be destroyed."

"Are you so discerning in your own use of power? I've seen what you can do."

"Maybe this is something Paxs would be more familiar with," Andar says acidly with a telling glare at his arcanist companion.

Andar explains his suspicions about the skull. "This may be of interest to someone, or may be valuable at any rate. Perhaps if we wrapped it in a cloak, we could transport it."

"Set it on the ground until we find a way to handle it safely." Andar looks at it closely. Arcana 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12. Can I tell what function it might have?

Andar, maybe you could also try to determine if the trap is still active, and if it is, whether it can be turned off... I'm not sure the rest of us want the cold shower that Carric took.

If Th'Kal new anything of acrana, he'd help.

Yes. Basically, anything I can find out about the trap with that arcana roll.

Can I tell anything about the nature of the trap or its creator? Arcana 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Andar focuses telekinetic energy over the remaining serpents.

Dimensional Scramble centered right behind them.
Vs 2 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 vs Fort.
Vs 4 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 vs Fort.
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 damage.

I should be at D5.

Andar uses waves of telekinetic force to rearrange the serpents.

Dimensional Scramble, augment 1, centered on Gerad.

Vs 2 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 vs Fort.
Vs 3 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 vs Fort.
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 damage.
On a hit on 2, teleport it to D2. On a hit on 3, teleport it to E2.

I move to D5.

I'll be at C5.

Initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Andar keeps an eye for movement or traps.

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Also, noticed someone posted on the discussion thread for Xabulba. Just wanted to point it out if you haven't been checking there.

"These rocks appear to be too heavy for me to move telekinetically. We ought to take a look, but I've learned to be wary of lifting rocks in the desert. One never knows what lurks in the shade beneath."

That assumes these rocks weigh more than 20 lbs, so if they're made of styrofoam or something, it's another matter...

"Well-spotted. Maybe we should have a closer look."

Anybody besides me wear cloth armor?

Used 2 surges.

Heal on Gorad 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

That's better...

Andar tends to his fallen comrade.

Bloodied: 10/24 hp.

Andar maneuvers into a better position and attempts to buffet the necromancer with telekinetic force.

Move to K15.

Kinetic Trawl on the necromancer: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 vs ref, 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 force damage on a hit and pull him to B14.

Kinetic trawl on necromancer. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 vs Reflex. 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 force damage and pull 1 square.

Move to L13. Kinetic Trawl 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 vs reflex. 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 force damage and pull 1 square.

Andar turns his attention to the undead scout.

Move to O12. Kinetic Trawl 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 vs reflex. 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 force damage.

Edit: And my inability to hit the broad side of a barn continues...

Move to L10. Kinetic Trawl (augment 1) vs Archer 1. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 vs Reflex. 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 force damage on a hit and pull him to J4.

Andar sets his eyes on one of the archers, trying to drag him closer by force of will.

Kinetic trawl on archer 1. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 vs reflex. 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 force damage on a hit and pull him to I5.

We skipped Gerad and Andar.

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Andar focuses his concentration on one of the elves, hauling him closer with telekinetic force.

Move to M13. Kinetic Trawl on Elf 1, Augment 1. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 vs Reflex. 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 force damage on a hit, and he is pulled to L6.

@ Cerric - for area attacks it's separate attack rolls for each target, but one damage roll. That usually works out in your favor, because you are less likely to miss all of them.

I'll be at H15. Initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
