I want Power Broker

Indeed!

We will pay it all. This boy will not be a victim of this civil war. Hiram and I are going to have our hands full - the Lions Blades will be very busy even if we are going to lack the Society's support.

Perform Oratory: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 16 + 2 = 37

Archibald looks over to Hiram I believe our estates can pay for his resurrection. He was to be exalted and that should be honored.

Archibald spends time seeing to the injured and frightened politicians and onlookers.

Will + Good Hope, add 2 more if its vs charm or compulsion: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 = 17
Will + Good Hope, add 2 more if its vs charm or compulsion: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 = 13

reroll on that second one, presuming the first makes

Will + Good Hope, add 2 more if its vs charm or compulsion: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 2 + 5 = 28

Ooof, you're right. I know this keeps happening, but this isn't a character I have played much in quite a while and I have another bard

Archibald continues to ward off the Allip menace with his words while he fences.

Adamantine Piercing Good Hope Haste: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 281d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 = 19

Adamantine Piercing Good Hope Haste: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 241d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 18

Adamantine Piercing Good Hope Haste: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 371d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15

Adamantine Piercing Good Hope Haste crit confirm: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 201d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 18

Archie continues to fence with the lion, determined to end this threat to the empire!

Adamantine Piercing +2: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 311d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20

Adamantine Piercing +2: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 331d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20

Archibald keeps his eyes on Hiram. Ideally someone with magic would go help with the incorporeal menace.

But for now he had a traitor to fence off.

Adamantine Blade, Haste, Good Hope: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 251d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20

Glorymane, one last time, roars to life and tries to help end things

Glorymane: 1d20 + 7 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 302d10 + 4 ⇒ (6, 9) + 4 = 19
Glorymane: 1d20 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 132d10 + 4 ⇒ (9, 5) + 4 = 18

Archibald continues his fencing style, trying to box in Saluxer.

He continues to counter the allips influence as he rapidly slashes Count.

You are a disgrace to our institutions

Adamantine Rapier + Good Hope and Haste: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 211d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 = 16

Adamantine Rapier + Good Hope and Haste: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 391d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 18
Adamantine Rapier + Good Hope and Haste crit confirm: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 261d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 = 16

Glorymane too disapproves and Roars once more at Calhadian.

Glorymane: 1d20 + 7 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 162d10 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (2, 5) + 2 + 4 = 13
Glorymane: 1d20 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 192d10 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (1, 5) + 2 + 4 = 12

Archibald continues to provide distraction from the Allips with his patriotic tunes.

This time he tries to be straightforward - he proceeds towards the count while trying to dance his way past the count and lions reaches as he dances with his blade, acting like he is aiming a deadly blow.

He then shifts tactics last moment and tries desperately to disarm the count of his deadly sword This will provoke

Disarm: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 33

Glorymane then gets in on the action and roars to life trying to bite the lion!

Glorymane: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 182d10 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9

Glorymane: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 242d10 + 6 ⇒ (2, 9) + 6 = 17

We cant both cast haste! I can retroactively not cast it I guess

Realizing Hiram beat him to the punch with the haste, he casts Good Hope instead

+2 morale bonus on saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls.

Archibald quickly uses his magic to SPEED THINGS UP for everyone.

Haste

He then notices the allips and hears Gaius

Ears on me gents!

THE LION THRONE - FIGHT ON OLD TALDOR

As long as you are within 30 ft of
Archibald you may use this perform check as your will save vs the allies if it is higher than what you roll

Perform Oratory: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29

Archibald takes his own wand out and tries to rapidly recover his hit points

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

All patched up, Archibald wipes his bloody nose and moves for the atrium Lets finish this Hiram...

Archibald sighs in frustration as the devil he kills comes back and runs back after the devil, trying to dip and dive past its reach

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22

He tries to combat the jerk.

+2 Rapier + Keen and Shock and Flank: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 291d6 + 12 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 + (5) = 21

I would like to point out that Archibald has the entire Step Up chain of feats and Disruptive/Spellbreaker in case it mattered

Satisfied that the Devil is running away, Archibald makes a break for Karina.

He flies to directly above her head and makes a strike, defensivelu guarding himself from her spell-strike.

Fight Defensively (AC + 3), Keen Adamantine Shock: 1d20 + 16 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 16 + 2 - 4 = 201d6 + 12 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 + (3) = 23

Archibald continues to fence with his infernal foe.

He wishes he could protect the nobles but....he has no ability to focus on any other targets but the one before him.

+2 Agile Keen Shock Rapier + Inspire: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 291d6 + 12 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 + (6) = 23
+2 Agile Keen Shock Rapier + Inspire: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 211d6 + 12 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 + (1) = 17
+2 Agile Keen Shock Rapier + Inspire: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 231d6 + 12 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 + (6) = 21

Ah right. Devils. Should have known this wasnt going to be easy.

Still, there is little archibald can do at this point but continue to fence until someone can provide some backup.

+2 Agile Adamantine Rapier + shock and keen + inspire: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 1 + 2 = 281d6 + 12 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 + (3) = 23

+2 Agile Adamantine Rapier + shock and keen: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 271d6 + 12 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 + (5) = 21

+2 Agile Adamantine Rapier + shock and keen: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 291d6 + 12 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 + (2) = 22

Archibald flies up just a bit to be even with Mantis and continues to press his assault

Attack w/Arcane Strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 301d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Attack w/Arcane Strike: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 311d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Attack w/Arcane Strike haste attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 191d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Attack w/Arcane Strike Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 191d6 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

No it wasn't? I broke down the door in post 263. You told me I could redirect my remaining attacks but I waited too long and so did not get a chance to (which was okay because I lacked the standard to activate my boots anyway). You declared a new turn in post 266. I tried to take my next turn in post 270, but could not reach Maw because he was flying, so I was left with a dangling standard action, which I declared I was using for defense in post 279 (admittedly primarily because I forgot I had winged boots).

Archibald took total defense, which due to his ranks in acrobatics grants a +6 to AC. So he would CURRENTLY be at 39 AC. If that changes things let me know. Additionally, since thats a dose of the same poison, it doesn't start a second counter, rather it raises the DC.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Archibald immediately ends his previous son with a FLOURISH

Saving Finale, effectively a swift action

Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Archibald continues to hold strong against that stinger, continuing to chant old Taldane fight songs.

Taldor the Brave
Taldor the Beautiful
Aroden Bless Taldor

you know, the classics.

Inspire Courage again, move action

He decides to finally click his boots together to grant himself the ability to fly and gets even with the creature, hoping to keep him from hurting regular people.

Activating a magic item is a standard action, no check needed, no AoOs provoked

Waste of a nat 20 but okay

Archibald takes a defensive posture, trying to provide protection for the fleeing citizens

Total Defense

That was a crit confirmation roll, sorry was in a hurry. I can take a five foot step right? Or is it in the air?

Archibald had no real way of flying or anything no

Archibald tries to recover from the mantis strike

Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Archibald begins to perform Oratory - a Fight Song for old Taldor as he brings a strike against his foe!

Move action to bard song, Inspire Courage + 2

Adamantine Agile Rapier: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 16 + 2 = 381d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20
Adamantine Agile Rapier: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 16 + 2 = 211d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 = 16

Archibald continues to hack into the door!

Damage the door: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Damage the door: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Damage the door: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Archibald chokes up on his weapon to defend himself from the devil above him We must protect the Taldane people! Hail the Lion Throne!

He continues to try and destroy the door.

Adamantine Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Adamantine Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Adamantine Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Will Save v glitterdust: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Archibald stays with the wall until he feels the door moving as quickly as he can Acrobatics: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

Miss Chance? 50 and above is good for me: 1d100 ⇒ 47

No attempt to do good deeds goes unpunished!

Will Save v glitterdust to shake effrct: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

This action assumes other doors are locked

Archibald makes for the door across the way and tries to stick it with his sword.

Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

I have been round and round and round with this. I use a short sword with this, i get called out for not using a rapier and get explained to how Pirhanha Strike totally works with rapiers, I use the rapier, I get called out and told it doesn't work with rapiers. At this point I don't really care, I am just tired of losing a boatload of gold every time someone makes a different ruling on this

Archibald follows Titus lead with his own adamantine weapon and tries to break the door!

Rapier, Piranha Strike: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 221d6 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

Archibald switches songs to Inspire Competence, before making at attempt at the door himself.

Strength: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 3 = 17

Archibald takes a 5 foot step away from the enemy, sheathes his rapier and opens the door.

We must save the Taldane people!

Glorymane roars with pride, Archibald knows he is in the right and slashes at the guards.

Rapier: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 2 = 261d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15
Rapier: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 16 + 2 = 211d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15
Rapier: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 2 = 261d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15

Archibald strikes a pose In the name of the Lion Blades, stand down guards! .

He then waves his sword around and casts a spell before moving up adjacent to one of the guards.

Inspire Courage +2, haste

I am having trouble moving around the map because I am mobile but I would like to move straight ahead 60 feet.

Perfectly acceptble to me

I think we are ready now

Archibald expends what he needs to to heal to full and then nods Yes we must hurry! Though if possible, lord Hiram seems to need a bit of healing. Do you have a scroll of restoration laying around ?

Archibald snickers a bit That's the true sign of a master politician Hiram, the ability to digest poisoned baked goods!

Lesser Restoration casting: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Archibald's wand goes off

Archibald decides to examine archibald and begins to tell him about how every real lord of Taldor has had to survive poisoning one time or another.

Archibald with Inspire Competence +3 to Tytus' Heal Check to help him make the next save

He also offers his wand of Lesser Restoration to anyone who can actually activate it to use on Hiram.

Archibald begins poking around the painting, looking to see if it is perhaps covering a wall safe.

Archibald promptly begins to tap himself with his wand as he looks around for the Matron.

Now as I was saying, we are in a crisis as you can clearly see. Please show us to the masters private study

Archibald winces a bit, but armed now with some copies, he moves into melee for the first time as he draws his own rapier and allows his performance to enter lingering.

+2 Agile Adamantine Rapier with Arcane Strike and Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 16 + 2 = 381d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15

+2 Agile Adamantine Rapier with Arcane Strike and Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 16 + 2 = 211d6 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 = 16

I think I can get everyone EXCEPT myself and Ansha, but I will leave off Obsidean if I have to

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Archibald continues to perform enhancing Hiram's blade and then casts mirror image on himself just in case the halflings turn his way.

Images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Fight, fight on Tal-dor. Hoooooome of the Brave! Fight for for Taldor! Do the Ancient Armies proud KEEP FIGHTING!

Yes Fight, Fight for Tal-dooooor, the fatherland of our race. And Fight Fight for Taldor, which will riiiiiiiise a-gaiiiiiiin,

You appear to have forgotten Good Hope Hiram, thats an additional +2 to hit and damage on both of those, GM

Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Archibald continues to nurse his wounds as he begins another oration on the power of the Lion Crown. Let it be known, here and now FAR and wide that those who seek to soil the Lion Crown will find their bones bleached and picked by the Pride of Taldor!

Suddenly Hiram's blade begins to glow, his rapier glowing and becoming a +2 Shocking Agile Rapier.

Archibald then casts Good Hope

Do our Order proud brother

Which provides for everyone a +2 on saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. This does stack with Inspire Courage

76 damage wow. I just realized I am wielding glorymane but never updated my banner for its increased effect (apparently its +4 right now). Would that additional 2 AC have saved me? My computer decided today would be a good time to die so im honna be slow for the rest of the week until i can replace it. I also literally just realized we switched maps. Can some one please move me to "safety" as described below I am having a hard time using it via phone

fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Archibald begins to slide out of harms way, he withdraws from his position to try and recover.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Archibald spits out the cookies YOU CALL THIS HOSPITALITY!!
