Aothan's page

"There is an answer to all riddles, but if a sacrifice is needed, I may be able to circumvent that." Aothan notes, activating his Keen Senses and searching for a third option.

Aothan gives everyone aid, since everyone affirmed their acceptance earlier.

aid ao: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
kar: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
leo: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
nige: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

If we hock this full plate, we can get about halfway on one Circlet. First, we gotta get outside, but now there's the complication of our dominated friend and the fact that I'm the only thing suppressing it.

"I think that failing the riddle may be far worse in the grand schema. Perhaps we will be able to overcome thing with some kind of magics."

If I mathed right, our difference would be: 4800 - 1000 - 1500 = 2300

Here's the thought; I think I literally have to stay within 10ft of our lovely damage source at all times until the duration wears off or we break his enchantment, lest we get a serial halfling murderer for a few days. Good thing I don't sleep.

"Nothing is evil beyond association. I will put bid in on the warhammer, if only to test its properties. I wonder how long the mist man's words will keep effect, but wish not to test it."

Now we have the "Wolf-Pig-Grain" (or whatever the "one boat and 3 things to ferry across, but some will ruin other stuff unattended") riddle, though this time it's "Half-orc, Halfling, Outsider," and its over an acid pit.

Aothan will Detect Evil at the items before anyone picks them up.

Gah, I was hoping that was enough.

Defensively, the Outsider swings twice again!

kukri 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d4 + 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + (5, 6) + 3 = 18
kukri 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d4 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + (3, 6) + 2 = 15

kukri 1 (flank, defensive, twf): 1d20 + 8 - 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 4 + 2 - 2 = 71d4 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (5, 6) = 18

kukri 2 (flank, defensive): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d4 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (5, 4) = 12

Aothan focuses on not getting hit, keeping in mind their bruiser's dependency on him to stay on the better team.

REAL LIFE? WHAT A WASTE! THANKS TO GLORIOUS SOVIET SCIENTISTS, MY LIFE IS THE INTERNET, WHAT WITH MY CONSCIOUSNESS BEING AN ENTIRELY DIGITAL ENTITY (excluding the modded Famicom that houses my external data.)

FOOLISH MORTALS.

Because if I go down, we lose our 2-handed Rager, do ho ho.

concentration on Aid DC 17: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 211d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

If successful, Aothan adds the above total to his current 34 hp. He will also step south to give more squares for allies (probably for future healing.)

-Posted with Wayfinder

Aothan shuts off his constant ability and reactivates, as per his original plan.

Did you want concentration rerolled?

hp: 48 - 19 + 5 = 34

Legwork done: I'm thinking of a 3.5 artifact.

Aothan will be stepping south and teleporting to the other side of the room, far enough that his short legs have to double move to get to me and where Karsk counts as "in the way" enough to prevent charges. Next round I'll do my circle manipulation.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I did minor research into it, but I'll have to look through something that doesn't require use of Google cached websites to view. Plus, theres this sandwich. It's mostly because it's a "constant" effect and not a "at-will" though. I probably messed up the logic somewhere, though.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Looks like "suppression" is never covered, though the quick ruling is 100% fair, though it seems I got most of my action correct... Action is amended.

Stupid, 3.5, confusing me.

Noting that the small ones are invisible and Karsk is possibly lost to vampirism, Aothan will drop his Circle vs Evil as a free, attempt to restart it as a swift (to get Karsk another save.) If that fails in any facet, he will step south and teleport outside to the acid jet area to await the remainder of the carryable (since the dwarf has shown no aptitude for seeing invisible people.) If he passes (as determined by a response to asking him if he's back in control of himself), full defence.

We're like Inevitables, except we get Light Rays that pierce DR.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Ha, oops; apologies. I'm used to being the lax poster. Though my CMD doesn't have my Circle's +2 deflection (or fighting defensively's Dodge) in it, so I should squeak by until he rolls slightly better a second time.

AoO (actually remembering my enhancement bonus to damage): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

hp: 52 + 12 - 21 + 5 = 48

"Run if you can!" Aothan will attempt to cast Aid himself again (though defensively), since he's entirely useless vs the undead beyond having Toughness!

concentrate DC 19: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

One hit without aid and I gotta teleport out of here. My strength can't break his DR, and I'm just stalling for you guys.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Then I stand to fight." Aothan stays steadfast, hoping his ally breaks his mental block soon.

kukri 1 (defensive +3 ac): 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 4 = 61d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
kukri 2 (defensive +3 ac): 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 4 = 201d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

AC is +5 over header. Updating health bar now.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Aothan will keep in melee and will attempt to Aid Another defensively (lowering AC for Karsk, not that it would matter this round with that 3.)

aid ano def: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 4 = 20 AC is +5 over header amount by PoE and defensively.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Now I'll be helpful in the opposite direction! Isn't a Warhammer a X3 crit?

Aothan will hit himself with another Aid and step up to provide some flanks!

delicious temp hp: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Also, those with Aid have a +1 morale to hit that I totally forgot about myself. Forgot my Dr earlier; I am at 52/55 plus whatever I rolled for temp HP.

Or, for updating notes/ideas, Cleaving Finish from Ultimate Combat is literally 3.5 Cleave and has no "adjacent only" clause. Does have cleave as a prerequisite, but is still almost worth it since it doesn't take an action. 47/55 then

Oh and kukri might have crit if it hit. Oops!

crit #2?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Threnodic Spell is every Heavens Oracle and Enchanter's friend, not that it'd be much help for you right now.

GM; if we are flanking him, then Cleave couldn't go off on me; we weren't adjacent (though he still has a good chance of hitting with a 13 on an iterative that I'm sure he has, do ho ho.)

Aothan takes the hits 27/55 and fights defensively to keep the mans attention until the big-weapon guy can be not-stunned!

kukri 1 (twf, defensive +3 AC): 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 - 4 = 101d4 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (2, 4) = 9
kukri 2 (twf, defensive +3 AC): 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 - 4 = 221d4 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (2, 4) = 9

AC, assuming he's evil, is 22 now. 3 dodge from defensive and 2 from Circle.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Will (circ vs evil): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 = 20

"From the darkness, his golden orbs see injustice..." Aothan whispers as he moves forward, drawing his kukris and making a single attack.

kukri (flank): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 = 271d4 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + (4, 1) + 2 = 10

It now has a DC 14 will vs my Aura of Menace (which isn't mind affecting, weirdly enough) and has to deal with my 5 DR/Evil. My ac and saves is 2 higher from my constant Circle, as well as for allies without Deflection/Resistance bonuses, respectively.

Aothan will approach to the same distance as Karsk, close his eyes, and focus his on another of his abilities.

Three times per day, a spyglass archon can concentrate its attention as a swift action. For a number of rounds equal to its Hit Dice (4 for most spyglass archons), the range of the spyglass archon’s darkvision is doubled, it gains a +6 bonus on Perception checks, and it gains blindsense out to a range of 15 feet.

Perception, if needed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 +1 vs traps, though as it turns out, closing your eyes DOESN'T help seeing things, with that roll... At least it's Blindsense...

If nothing is sensed, he'll move into the room, keeping the focus up for the next 6 rounds.

The half-orc-powered safety line sounds like a good addition if there's nothing to tie a rope off anywhere. Pending his approval, of course. Just noting for everyone that they can roll 1d8+6 for some unlimited use temp health.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Aothan will repeat the process with the other Small person, though he offer to use Aid to prevent resource drain. If accepted, the passenger gets 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 temp HP.

"I am still capable of flying you across, though let me ensure my translocation power works here to minimize risk."

Aothan tries to teleport a few inches to his left to see if it works. If he can, his current plan for Shorty Delivery is to fly one to the first stop, port back to start, and then fly the other over. As for everyone else, making a knotted rope is doing that +2 thing, which is the best Aothan can do.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"I have both a grappling hook, a rope, and the means to deliver the end to each platform. If we tie each rope together and knot it, our less capable allies will be able to climb with ease."

Pending any complaints or better ideas, Aothan will flap his wings and mundanely deliver the grappling hook (with knotted rope) to platform one and secure it to something.

"I do not understand; teamwork is a very vital part of any group venture..."

"So, who will be going first, then? Or should I try across myself? I can attempt to hop dimensionally over there or go with a mundane method. Both appear unsafe, as I presume it will at all times..."

pcp: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Aothan removes his cloak and unfurls his black-feathered wings. "While I am no bird of prey, I am capable of mundane flight as well as my intradimensional relocation. I fear some of you would be too heavy for me to carry, but it is an option I wanted to put forward."

I had actually still existed on the opposite side of the mimi- err, unidentified gate, so I never even got to the Axe Plan.

Aothan nods about the axe as he pries his kukris out of the creature, though shakes his head at the wand inquiry.

Attack (flank): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 241d4 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + (2, 6) + 2 = 11
Ref: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Aothan connects again, but loses Kukri #2 to the adhesive skin. He looks to the grappler that isn't object-like, "May I use your axe?"

Ha, right! Too much Monk theory and Teleportation Wizard. Queue up the attack for if applicable, ja?

Aothan tests the limits of his abilities in this dungeon to use Greater Teleport to the opposite side of Karsk and uses his new greasiness to attack again (but this time with flanks!)

Kukri (flanks, Aid): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 = 251d4 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (5, 3) = 14

reflex vs adhesive skin: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

If teleporting doesn't work (and leaves Aothan where he's at), he'll still attack but lose the 2d6 and 2 to-hit.

Ha, plus this is an ooze most likely, so my Sneak Attack isn't happening either.

DM: Is any Amorphousness obvious or no? Additionally, would the stuck kukri situation imply that using Greater Teleport would or wouldn't work? Not sure if it's counting as attended by both of us or what. (Though I'm also wary about any Teleport Traps...)

"I did not see. I apologize for the failure in earnest," Aothan apologizes while drawing his non-holy symbol kukris as a move and takes a singular swing!

+1 Kukri: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 241d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

"I see no hidden dangers," the outsider assures the party.

Aothan inspects that portcullis for bonus dangers.

Active perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 Unless trap spotter sensed something.

Aothan shakes his head at the unneded apology, "Please, speak as you wish. I have the luxury of infinite lifetimes for conversation. I do not wish to stifle yours."

"Though I believe we should open one of these doors. We may appear failures to the conductor outside with our goings and leavings."

"This door is thick with water, and will only be able to be opened with force." He looks to the short ones, then speaks to the half-orc. "Perhaps you wish to muster the strength of your heritage?"

"It is impossible to hide even from the blind when one makes many noises." the outsider says as he searches this new door. PCP: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

After a gratuitous amount of wanding, Aothan will suggest maybe overcoming another riddle.

8d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 8, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7, 6) + 8 = 50

Given the money he now owes, Aothan goes back upstairs (informing the room of Waterfalls as suggested to not explode.) From upstairs, he'll use Greater Teleport to return to town and buy a wand of cure light wounds. Then he'll return in the same manner.

"Though grateful, and I thank you for the offer, I will be going with the less legally-binding option." he nods to the half-orc. "Is there anoy other purchases needed from town while I am there?"

I owe mathchk: 750 - 634 = 116 gp to Nigel.

"I do mean that. I have 600 and some remainder, and am willing to bear the brunt of the cost. Money means very little to one who needs no home or food."

"Alas, I had just below the funds to purchase a wand before leaving. If anyone wants, I can return to town and buy one with a portion of the total cost."

I think my roll was going to be applied and might have worked. I was just getting Heat Metaled. 16+13/55

Ahh, good. Well, not super horrible, at least.

Aothan snaps back and quickly removes his burning chain shirt. "That was... unpleasant." He'll then Aid Himself again, and focus on lowering his Spell Resistance for if others have actual spells.

aid: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

"My tools are metal. Even approaching with no armaments will suffice for such crafty means."

58 - 52 = 6+13/55 HP

I do have Evasion still as a 2nd level rogue (though it seems it's not going to entirely help if I fail a super-high damage. I'm not even sure what that goes under in a statblock like a monster's; special defenses?

I keep trying to get people to have a bunch of temp health for free to reduce the need, though nobody seems to be biting.
