Arkanost's page

I apologize, I'm going to have to drop. I'm moving out of state, and starting a new job, and it has been taking a lot more time than I expected. Thanks for everything. Good luck everyone.

I'm back now, I was in Scotland for a week. I thought I had posted but must have forgotten to hit send. Leveling up now.

As for the rings, assuming they stack with other enchantments, they would be good for a big push. We can always take the penalty at night.

Sorry for the delay, I thought I had posted an away message, but it seems you all handled it just fine.

Arkanost will look over the rings and reach for the Charisma ring.

"This one looks good to me, any objections?"

"Are we fighting? I think we should just get outta here!"

Arkanost will cast telekinesis and attempt to push the inevitable away from the group.

Telekinetic bull rush: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 17 + 1 = 27

Arkanost pops his head up from the pile of magical items he was identifying and investigating...

"Oh, Yea. They can have the boring mundane stuff. The magical stuff is way cooler. Gossan, did you see this necklace? It can really give your spells a PUNCH. Heh. He. Heh..."

He then dives back into the pile of goods.

S+*@, sorry. I somehow got logged out and didn't see updates.

Arkanost will try to dispel the penalty using dispel magic.
CL Check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25vs 11+ caster level

Depending on the results, he may try again or help others

Arkanost moves up as close as he can to the door, he is no good with people.

First he casts arcane sight, then looks at the door.
perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

Does he think it would be better suited to use disable device, or brute force (1-4 castings of warp metal)?

"Go for it, but be careful."

"Ok, grab anything of value and let's keep moving."

Arkanost can carry things in his haversack as we need.

Once the room is looted, he is ready to continue on.

Unless I'm missing something, it seems like the only way to even use quicken spell as a sorcerer. I don't see any rules against rods, just feats make it take longer

"He proabably didn't expect us to get this far."

Just in case, he counts his steps as he walks into the room, that way he will know exactly how far he will need to teleport out safely if things go bad.

Arkanost digs around in the shelves for any interesting looking books or scrolls and finally settles on the metamagic rod.

"This is nice. Mind if I take it? Go for it Gossan, they look better on you anyway."

"Meh, leave him. Too risky."

"I'm a big fan of the 'not my problem' wall him off approach. Maybe the blacksmith will be friends. Maybe not, worth a shot. We can always leave him down here too."

He then toddles over to the smith for a closer look.

craft engineering to understand any clever works near the blacksmith: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Nothing catches his eye

He then looks to the Giant.

"Look, it seems you are in a bit of a dilemma here. You bound your service for life to someone who can not die. And then that master was sentence to "death" by pain and imprisonment. You have a classic problem proposed by the illustrious gnome scientist Kro Dinger. For now you see, your master is both dead and alive but you have no way of knowing. Due to this, I propose a solution. Since he is both dead and alive, that technically meets your contract of service for life. Your debt is paid, and now you are free."

He then puts on a big smile and slowly walks towards the giant.

"So, Here's the deal. We can let you free I think but you have to promise not to try to kill us."

"Nod your head if you agree your bond is broken and you desire to be free. Shake your head if you think you still owe something to the dead vampire."

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
damage: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 8) = 21

HP: 49/70

On his turn, he would cast dimension door to get back out of the room and as far as he can while still being close enough to aid his allies.
He would specifically try to grab Anatoli & others that do not generally favor melee

Looks good. With Anatoli and I, we can get everyone across. Go ahead and save your shift Achren. Now we are set to continue

I have several castings. I could even ferry people me + 3 each time if needed for 3 castings. If Achren and one more go, we are set with one cast from me. Otherwise everyone save their things and I'll use 3 spells to get me + 3, TP back, and bring the remainder.

But we are murder hobos! Find, kill, loot!

Arkanost sighs, then nods.

"That would be prudent, wouldn't it. I can get four of us across."

"Hah, works for me. I can pelt it from up here"

Arkanost will go ahead and cast resist energy on everyone to be safe. He will then move into position to move levers.

I think we might need a nudge or hint as to the order, or maybe randomly choose for us. I'm having a hard time visualizing this.

"I can give you a moderate resistance to electricity."

Arkanost will cast resist energy (20 electricity resist for 100 minutes. I can use it up to 8 times of we needed to do the entire party.

"Ok, everyone stand back. I'm going to try pulling levers. Any idea which order?"

int check?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

He then casts telekinesis from outside the room and starts pulling levers.

up down down
up up down
up up up
down up down
down down up
down down down

Unless someone else has a better plan, follow theirs.

Looks like I can warp metal 50ft, or telekinesis the levers from 800. I'm open to either. Do I have any idea how the mechanisms may work with my 23 engineering?

kn engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Arkanost will study the mechanisms for clues.

"It is probably a bad idea, but I could always warp the metal int he room to bypass the doors."

How far can I get back while maintaining line of effect to the doors?

Arkanost, able to see the invisible enemies, but not able to fly, will blast one with magic missiles.

magic missile: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 2, 1) + 5 = 15

Arkanost will draw and cast a scroll of see invisibility

Bump?

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Arkanost will cast haste for the group.

Follow with the group and jump down

Maybe there is a nonmagical way to tell.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

bah

Arkanost will join Anatoli.

spellcraft/kn arcana: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Arkanost takes 120lbs, or 7200gp worth. 880lbs, 52800g remaining.

Arkanost dumps some of the gold his handy haversack.

Assuming 50coins/lb and it is all gold, he can carry ~5k gp without dumping out other gear or overburdening.

Arkanost finished up his new hat and moves forward.

"I'll keep watch in case anyone decides to investigate us while you are checking out the dragon."

take 10 perception: 10 + 15 = 25

"I only had the one scroll. I think we got the best items, no need to be greedy. Anatoli, why don't you study this area thoroughly so that we can come back via teleport at another time is we wish."

Also, I forgot I built this character with Grisly Ornament feat. Do you mind if I did that during the rest as well?

"I can take the rest of the night. I only need 2 hours of rest. My ring keeps me sustained."

For his watch he will take 10 on perception.

Perception take 10: 10 + 15 = 25

If we have sufficient magic to teleport out, great. Otherwise we could barricade ourselves in one of the previous rooms.

Did we decide to take a rest btw, or are we continuing on? I still have a few spells left, but just wanted to check.

Arkanost can use telekinesis 3 more times (30 rounds) to help loot the horde. All Gossan has to do is get things within Arkanost's line of sight and he will move the rest.

"I agree, this is likely a good place for a rest. As for the treasure, I have a few scrolls to help with that."

Arkanost will use a scroll of water breathing and another of touch of the sea on whomever is willing to do the searching. If no one volunteers right away, he will reluctantly do it.

Arkanost keeps up his slow but steady stream of misiles.

magic misile: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 4, 1) + 5 = 18

Kind of lame, but at least it is guaranteed and I have a lot of them as a sorcerer?

Arkanost is frustrated at the placement of the dragon, and looses another volley of magic missiles.

magic missile: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 2, 1) + 5 = 15

Arkanost sighs as his boulders are deflected so easily. Didn't realize how crappy the attack bonus was when I chose the spell

He then unleashes a volley of magic missiles.
damgage: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 1, 2) + 5 = 15

Arkanost will pick up the boulder again ant to it back at the dragon.

attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
damage: 9d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 5, 1, 5, 4, 4, 4) = 35

Sorry! I got logged out and didn't see new posts.

Arkanost hurls a boulder at the dragon. 225lb first.
attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 Proabably misses
damage: 9d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 1, 6, 2, 5, 4, 3, 1) = 31 Just in case

Any lucking finding a big boulder or something to hurl with telekinesis? (~250lbs preferred)

Arkanost will cast telekinesis. He will begin by trying to bull rush the dragon into the water.

bull rush: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 1 = 30

Then he will look for something big and heavy as close to to 250lbs as possible. Preferably a boulder or similar.

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Arkanost will cast haste on the party. I think my init goes first, so please apply the haste bonus if any attacks are close to hitting/missing

Works for me

"Yea I think we should check around first before unleashing whatever is in there."

I'll be away for a long weekend, returning Tuesday. Please feel free to bot me as needed. (If the servers even allow!)
