Antonaides DeGuile, Esq.'s page

I gave my Champion/Cleric access to Protection ^_^

Does the Esoteric Spellcaster boon give you access to Protection and Circle of Protection? I can't find a list of what spells the boon gives you.

Leo will keep the stink eye on Orange and cast Ill Omen on Blue.

Did I miss the chronicle sheets somewhere?

Thanks for running!

Profession Barrister (there was a lot of paperwork at the end of this one)

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

same

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

anyone else need healing?

Sense Motive on whether he's telling us the truth.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

can't make that spellcraft roll. let's get down to the docks and see what's what

Anton will take a 5' step and order his hell hound to attack the swashbuckler (it will provoke on the way in).

Hellhound bite
1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13
1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + (5) = 13

As a standard action, he touches Sukit's weapon to give it Bane (vs elf? what sub-species is she?) with Bless Weapon (a supernatural ability as far as I can tell).

As a move, he'll try to defensively cast Copycat

1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22
if the DC is 19, as it would be for mirror image, he can't fail.

Summons 6/8
Copycat 8/8

Anton moves up the stairs and summons a hell hound, which breathes fire on the creature next to Kitajo.

Fire (DC 16 Reflex for half)
2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

recharges in 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3 rounds

Round counter: 7/8

Augmented Hellhound stats:

AC 16/11/15 hp 38 Darkvision 60, scent, perception +7
saves +8/+5/+1 Immune: Fire Vulnerable: cold
Attacks: +7 (1d8+3 +1d6 fire)
Special attacks: breath weapon (10’ cone, 2d6 fire (DC16), useable every 2d4 rounds)

not on this character

1d20 ⇒ 7

ready

Anton hurries with the party toward/up the stairs.

waiting for the door to open...

Anton likewise moves to Purrupup and taps him with a wand.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Kitajo hears the noise of splitting timber and moves toward it.

Is the door between us locked?

my lemure moved through it, so unless a mistake was made earlier, it should be open

Anton moves and opens the next door.

After receiving healing from Arie and tapping himself with his wand, he should be down 4 hp, not 13

After attacking, the lemures wink out of existence.

Lemure 1 (haste, inspire, flank)
1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 19
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 16
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 23
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

Lemure 2 (moves and attacks)
1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

Reflex for the lemure from last round:

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Anton backs out of the greasy room, orders his lemure to advance toward the north and open any doors he finds there. Anton joins the others and takes cover behind a wall, taking total defense.

He orders the other lemure to move to the corner, potentially drawing an AoO.

Round Counter

Not meta-gaming, but the lemure would definitely have gone through the kitchen first. They are there to spring traps and get ambushed. That said, Antonaides would have attempted the acro check to move at half speed.

Acrobatics
1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6

Reflex
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

whelp, I guess I fall anyway. I'll use my other move to stand up.

With my previous turn's actions I'll move to where I am now. If there are enemies in that room, I'll order the lemures to attack them. IF there aren't, I'll take my turn to open another door.

I order my lemures to move and open the doors in front of them. (If there's a fight in that topmost room we'll have two ways of getting into it.)

Round counter

I command the lemures to go into the next room. The one that wasn't prone has enough movement left to open the door and I tell him to do so. the southern lemure is at 10 hp

I'll wait to act until I see what's in there.

The lemures attack

Lemure 1 (prone)
1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 4 = 18
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 4 = 9

Lemure 2
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"Thank you, Arie. It was foolish of me to stand in that gunner's line of sight."

Anton also taps himself with a wand and moves to be next to Kitajo.
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Round counters

I had readied a Remove Fear, so you're good.

Antonaides rattles off a litany to quell the fear of the pit that lives in all mortal hearts.

Lemure 1 (prone) hp 10/17, DR 5
2 claws
1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 - 4 = 6
1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 4 = 4

Lemure 2 17/17, DR 5

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Will
1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

Will
1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

Anton will ready to cast Remove Fear on the first person to fail a save. He directs the lemures to stay down but keep attacking.

Fair point about the action economy, but I had healed myself once before for 3. Antonaides should be down 15 hp.

Are you factoring DR into the attacks on the lemures? They have 17 hp and DR 5. I'm not following the math that brought them down. In future when I summon stuff, I'll post the hp in the gameplay thread. Tough to stay on top of it in PbP!

"Muppets, swarm this doggy here beside me."

Lemure
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Lemure
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Lemure
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Anton had previously healed himself for 3 pts, taps himself again for
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3...

...and activates Copycat as a move 1 mirror image

Resource Tracker

"Of course."

Antonaindes claps his hands and in infernal says, "Muppets, kill!"

He then moves to be beside the door and throws it open with his standard action.

Lemure 1 Bardsong, flank
1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 22
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 22
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

Tentacle
1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 19
1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12

Lemure 2 Bardsong
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

Lemure 3 Bardsong, can't full attack
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 = 19
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

"Ow you sonuva-- I'll be seeing you on the other side!"

Antonaides moves out of the gunner's line of sight, draws a wand, heals himself and commands one lemure into flank and to attack and the other to get out of his allies' way.

CLW
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Lemure 1 (flank)
1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 13
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 25
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

Lemure 2 (tentacles?)
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17
1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

the lemures have DR 5/silver or good, so if they don't get crit they should stick around to soak up attacks
1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 10
1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10

Augmented Lemure (standard action to summon)

Antonaides calls on the power of hell and summons...

1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Augmented Lemures (one of which is evolved to have a tentacle mass). All four attack the captain.

Lemure 1
Claws
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

agreed. let's do it.

OK, try to stay within 45' of me or the spell will fail

i have a Shield Other prepared. any takers? i usually give it to the squishiest frontliner.

"I left my trunks in Sargava. I vote the stairs."

Apologies. I've input my data.

Dayjob: Profession (Barrister)
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Antonaides winces at Sukit's words.

"The problem, you see, is that I am a member of the bar both in Cheliax and the Seventh Ring of Hell. I cannot simply break someone out of a legally correct indenture, however unjust a layperson might find it.

"Khanuur, do you have a copy of the contract that binds you? Or is there a legal authority we can appeal to in order to reverse your status? A loophole we can exploit?"

"I'm going to pretend I'm not hearing any of this. I could be disbarred."

Antonaides takes his bottle and moves out of earshot.

"Please, a bottle of Chateau Belial. The '95 if you have it. You can actually taste the screams of the damned," he says in explanation to the other Pathfinders. "The terroir makes all the difference."

i'll take the heirophant for my seance boon

"I am Antonaides de Guile, Esq., loyal servant of Asmodeus and attorney at law. Might I say, while you have an impeccable reputation in hell, it does not prepare one to meet you in person. I like your style.

"My business card," he adds, extending a glossy, black and red card toward Corvius.

An imposing half-orc stands before you. Clad in fullplate and carrying a sword the size of a small horse he appears to mean business. He wears heraldry of the famous Molthuni Arsenal, as well as badging of the Liberty's Edge faction.

Lance Corpral Grim Krieger at your service! Well met Purrupup and Arie!

Seemingly ignoring the Asmodean he continues..

"While your task sound valiant Purrupup I'm not sure my Lord Ragathiel would appreciate me "tapping" a fiends power. I will pray on it and get back to you."

He moves to take a seat and wait for mission briefing.

Not trying to be a ass Antonaides, but from a RP standpoint he doesn't look to highly on Dark Archive folks.. Kinda the pinnacle of everything he hates.. Should be fun once interaction is mandatory lol!

No worries. I'm definitely playing an anti-hero here.

"Why Porrupup, my lord and master has only perfected the art that you yourself are practicing: exercising dominion over another creature and extracting value from it. He'd be delighted to see a fiend being used in such a way."

A man of middle years enters wearing a severe expression and expensive-looking priestly vestments in black and red.

"Siphoning power from a fiend? Majestic. My name is Antonaides de Guile, esquire. I understand that this expedition is in need of legal services and I have been retained to that end.

"I am also qualified to provide healing and certain other magical boons and dispensations as need arises. However, before I can offer any of them to you I will require you each to sign a waiver releasing the Church of Asmodeus, the nation of Cheliax and all its political subdivisions, and our Dark Lord, his agents, assigns, and intermediaries, etc., etc. from any and all liability incurred in the prosecution of this matter."

Antonaides rolls out a lengthy parchment and places a quill and inkwell beside it.

"And no, before you ask, you will not be bartering away any portion of your immortal soul by signing. It is simply a standard waiver form. However, if you'd like to discuss the possibility of an infernal bargain, arrangements can be made."

1d20 ⇒ 1

Thanks for GMing, Z..D..!

Day Job Roll: Profession (Barrister)
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

I'll reroll that with my stars
1d20 + 13 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 5 = 29

Anton moves, draws a wand, casts CLW on himself.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
