Ashlion of Vudra's page

Ash stretches languidly and lets out a loud sigh, as though a great weight has been removed from his broad shoulders.

"THAT WAS A GOOD FIGHT!" He declares happily. "FINE STRIKE RINGMASTER! WE SHOULD CELEBRATE!"

The way he eyes his wife makes it clear how he intends to celebrate too.

"ONCE FINISHED, WE GO HOME?" He asks. "WANT TO SEE TYGRAH AND EVORA AGAIN."

Ash takes a huge stride over and lays into Sarvel. If Tasha wants to be annoyed with him later she can be.

Move so that I'm flanking (with the 15ft reach)

Wham, Bam: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (8) + 36 = 441d20 + 36 ⇒ (17) + 36 = 531d20 + 28 ⇒ (3) + 28 = 31
Damage: 4d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (7, 5, 6, 9) + 31 + (2) = 604d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (11, 4, 12, 12) + 31 + (4) = 744d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 4) + 31 + (6) = 45
Thank You Ma'am: 4d10 + 4d8 ⇒ (2, 6, 10, 5) + (8, 6, 6, 4) = 47 If 53 doesn't crit, ignore this.

Ash has a target in mind and no silly tentacle is going to stop him!

Smash: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (5) + 36 = 411d20 + 36 ⇒ (2) + 36 = 381d20 + 32 ⇒ (20) + 32 = 521d20 + 28 ⇒ (4) + 28 = 32
Damage: 4d12 + 31 + 1d6 + 2d10 + 4d8 ⇒ (5, 10, 8, 1) + 31 + (4) + (2, 2) + (3, 2, 5, 8) = 81 The last 18 damage is persistent bleed.

Only one blow lands but it lands with significant power!

Will: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (1) + 31 = 32
Hero: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (19) + 31 = 50

With a heroic effort of will Ashlion casts off the phantasmal killer and advances menacingly on the xulguth who attempted to end him.

"DIE!" He commands, bringing powerful blades to bear.

Smash, Crash: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (11) + 36 = 471d20 + 36 ⇒ (5) + 36 = 411d20 + 32 ⇒ (11) + 32 = 43

Will: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (5) + 31 = 36
Hero Point: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (19) + 31 = 50

Ashlion throws off the synesthesia and seems almost equally unmoved by the various blows he takes, as they seem to almost bounce off his unstoppable form. He retaliates against the second demon, smashing its unholy flesh apart before turning on the summoned fiend and sending it back to hell as well in a maelstrom of blades and mighty blows!

Choppy Chop: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (18) + 36 = 541d20 + 36 ⇒ (16) + 36 = 521d20 + 32 ⇒ (9) + 32 = 411d20 + 28 ⇒ (14) + 28 = 42
Damage: 4d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 1) + 31 + (1) = 384d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 8, 8, 6) + 31 + (2) = 634d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (12, 12, 12, 2) + 31 + (1) = 704d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 10, 11, 5) + 31 + (3) = 68
Crits: 2d12 + 4d10 + 4d12 ⇒ (10, 8) + (10, 8, 5, 6) + (5, 7, 4, 11) = 74 Fire, then bleed

--------------------------------------------------
Will: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (16) + 34 = 50

Ruine meanwhile prays aloud to Sarenrae, calling on the goddesses divine fire to smite the xulguths!

Casting miracle - leaving it up to the GM what the most Sarenrae appropriate divine smiting spell is. ;)

Ruine summons a huge burst of Sarenrae's light, searing the flesh of the xulguths and their summoned demons.

Sunburst: 8d10 ⇒ (10, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 7) = 33 DC43 basic reflex.

Ashlion laughs off most of the hits and, casually disregarding the tentacle of force, continues to carve apart his foes!

Strikes!: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (8) + 36 = 441d20 + 36 ⇒ (18) + 36 = 541d20 + 32 ⇒ (17) + 32 = 491d20 + 28 ⇒ (9) + 28 = 37
Damage: 4d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (12, 11, 8, 7) + 31 + (1) = 704d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 4, 8, 1) + 31 + (3) = 554d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (11, 11, 9, 10) + 31 + (2) = 744d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (12, 5, 11, 5) + 31 + (4) = 68

Ref: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (15) + 29 = 441d20 + 29 ⇒ (18) + 29 = 47

Ashlion also escapes both breath weapons largely unscathed. The hurt he does take triggers his rage, causing him to grow to mighty size! Trusting the ringmaster to deal with Sarvel Ever-Hunger he sets to work demolishing the demons.

Double Strike, Strike, Strike: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (12) + 36 = 481d20 + 36 ⇒ (8) + 36 = 441d20 + 31 ⇒ (3) + 31 = 341d20 + 26 ⇒ (16) + 26 = 42
Damage: 4d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 12) + 31 + (2) = 494d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 8, 10) + 31 + (4) = 614d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 12, 10, 2) + 31 + (5) = 644d12 + 31 + 1d6 ⇒ (9, 9, 5, 4) + 31 + (5) = 63

"IT WILL BE MY PLEASURE. AND YOURS." Ashlion booms, waggling his eyebrows at his wife. "THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!"

Ashlion rests his arms for a few moments. The maul he claimed from the titan has proved useful, hammering a way through the very walls of the tower to catch more than one waiting ambush by surprise. He grins at his wife.

"WHEN WE ARE DONE I WILL NEED A LONG MASSAGE." He says with a wink. "BEATING SO MANY OF THESE THINGS IS TIRING WORK!"

Barbarian 20

Boosts: Sex x4.

Class Feat: Unstoppable Juggernaut

Skill Feat: Kip Up

Foresight Will: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (18) + 30 = 48

Will: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (9) + 30 = 39

"DO NOT FEEL SO GOOD!" Ashlion says with a wince as he drags the corpse to the statue. "NASTY DRAGON DID SOMETHING."

He doesn't seem overly concerned but keeps twisting and shaking, as though he has an itch he can't seem to scratch.

Now that the tide of battle seems to have turned in his favor Ash fights merrily on, roaring out something that could almost be described as a tune!

Chop, Chop, Smash: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (10) + 34 = 441d20 + 34 ⇒ (3) + 34 = 371d20 + 29 ⇒ (17) + 29 = 461d20 + 29 ⇒ (2) + 29 = 31
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (9, 7, 4, 8) + 30 + (3) = 614d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 10, 10, 4) + 30 + (6) = 664d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 8) + 30 + (1) = 514d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 6) + 30 + (2) = 52

Fort: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (15) + 33 = 481d20 + 33 ⇒ (1) + 33 = 34

Once again Ash is far too powerful for any draconic BO - his own is much mightier!

Chop, Chop, Smash!: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (15) + 34 = 491d20 + 34 ⇒ (12) + 34 = 461d20 + 29 ⇒ (5) + 29 = 341d20 + 24 ⇒ (11) + 24 = 35
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (7, 9, 6, 9) + 30 + (1) = 624d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 6, 12, 5) + 30 + (1) = 624d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (9, 6, 2, 2) + 30 + (2) = 514d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (12, 5, 8, 11) + 30 + (5) = 71

He retaliates with great fury, but not a huge amount of effect.

Ref, Fort: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (13) + 28 = 411d20 + 33 ⇒ (13) + 33 = 46

Although he can't avoid the breath weapon Ashlion's mighty constitution is so superior that he fights off the venom entirely!

Chop, chop, chop: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (20) + 34 = 541d20 + 34 ⇒ (6) + 34 = 401d20 + 30 ⇒ (14) + 30 = 441d20 + 26 ⇒ (9) + 26 = 35
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 5, 5, 10) + 30 + (1) = 59
Extra Crit Damage: 1d12 + 2d10 ⇒ (1) + (3, 1) = 5
Persistent Bleed: 2d12 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

He only lands one blow but it is a mighty one!

Ashlion roars a challenge in response before charging at the beast!

Intimidate: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (4) + 30 = 34
Charge, Double Slice: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (18) + 33 = 511d20 + 28 ⇒ (13) + 28 = 411d20 + 29 ⇒ (17) + 29 = 46
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 10, 12, 10) + 30 + (3) = 734d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (10, 3, 7, 9) + 30 + (5) = 644d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (10, 6, 6, 8) + 30 + (6) = 66

Crit Damage?: 2d10 ⇒ (7, 8) = 15

Ashlion examines the statue with interest and pokes the draconic corpse a few times.

"WE HAVE TO CATCH ONE OF THESE?" He asks, "DO NOT KNOW STORIES OF THE DEAD GOD. BUT COULD CATCH ONE! WALK INTO LAKE AND SHAKE IT!"

You all know he can do it, the walking on water part at least, and wrestling a two-headed dragon does seem like the kind of thing Ash would find fun.

"IT WOULD TAKE A MUCH LARGER FOE TO DEFEAT ME, MY LOVE!" Ashlion booms cheerfully. He tries on the breastplate, seems quite impressed by the shortbow and even slings the adamantine maul over his back.

"WILL BE ABLE TO KNOCK DOWN A CASTLE WITH THIS!" He says, seemingly quite excited about the idea.

-------------------------------------
Later that night Ashlion demonstrates to Grelda just how much he loves and appreciates her. Ruining Tasha and Ruine's evening is an unfortunate side-effect.

Ash is reeling, but far too stubborn to give in while Grelda remains in danger!

Slashy Slash: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (12) + 34 = 461d20 + 34 ⇒ (16) + 34 = 501d20 + 26 ⇒ (4) + 26 = 301d20 + 26 ⇒ (12) + 26 = 38
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 12, 4) + 30 + (2) = 514d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 3, 5, 12) + 30 + (3) = 614d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (9, 11, 7, 1) + 30 + (1) = 594d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (9, 3, 8, 5) + 30 + (4) = 59

Grelda's magic stopped him being hit so much that he was dead, regardless of Ruine's healing. But if Ruine wants Ash to 'thank' her, then he will! ;)

As his wife's magic saves his life yet again Ashlion makes a mental note to thank her properly - once the titan is dead!

Chop, Chop, Chop Suey: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (1) + 34 = 351d20 + 34 ⇒ (12) + 34 = 461d20 + 26 ⇒ (2) + 26 = 281d20 + 26 ⇒ (17) + 26 = 43
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 9, 9, 6) + 30 + (6) = 684d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (11, 6, 11, 4) + 30 + (6) = 684d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 4, 11, 12) + 30 + (3) = 684d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 6) + 30 + (6) = 51

Once again he lands a single hit, but he's doing more to the titan that it's doing to him!

Ashlion foregoes taunts and focuses to cutting down the titan as fast as he can - the massive figure is the mightiest foe he has yet faced, by some distance!

Hammers and Axes oh my!: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (6) + 34 = 401d20 + 34 ⇒ (3) + 34 = 371d20 + 26 ⇒ (17) + 26 = 431d20 + 26 ⇒ (20) + 26 = 46
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 12, 11) + 30 + (4) = 664d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (9, 4, 3, 3) + 30 + (5) = 544d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 10, 2, 1) + 30 + (4) = 504d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 4, 5, 9) + 30 + (5) = 61
Critical Fire Damage: 2d10 ⇒ (6, 7) = 13

Fort: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (10) + 33 = 43

Ashlion's magnificent constitution fights off the spell as little more than a temporary annoyance. In the aftermath of the spell he surges up to a mighty fifteen foot height.

"I WILL ENJOY DESTROYING YOU!" He roars, charging forward to do just that!

Will: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (15) + 30 = 45

The titan's space warping abilities don't save it as Ashlion rushes in to bring it down to size.

Sudden Charge, Double Slice: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (12) + 33 = 451d20 + 28 ⇒ (19) + 28 = 471d20 + 28 ⇒ (10) + 28 = 38
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 2d6 ⇒ (8, 4, 11, 10) + 30 + (1, 2) = 664d12 + 30 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 10, 11, 2) + 30 + (4, 2) = 604d12 + 30 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 10, 7) + 30 + (5, 6) = 64

"If, uh, you're going to be sleeping outside with us," Tasha begins as her skin shifts more to a violet color. "Can you ... uh ... not, you know, well ... you know?"

"WHAT?" Ashlion asks innocently, although there's a distinct twinkle in his eye.

When his wife gets the discussion back on track later though he shrugs. "WILL BE BETTER AT FISHING. COULD TRY TO BE SNEAKY THOUGH."

Ash shakes his head. He has one tent, sized for two admittedly, but only the one.

Ash doesn't need to be asked, he immediately starts lugging the corpses away. He also makes a point of taking them down-wind.

"TAILOR?" Ash suggests in a deep rumble. "HUNTER SOUNDS LIKE MUCH MORE WORK!"

Will: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (6) + 30 = 361d20 + 30 ⇒ (5) + 30 = 35

Ash is far too stubborn for magic and continues smashing the xulguth in front of him into small bits of meat.

Wham, Bam: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (18) + 34 = 521d20 + 34 ⇒ (6) + 34 = 401d20 + 29 ⇒ (2) + 29 = 311d20 + 29 ⇒ (12) + 29 = 41
Damage: 4d12 + 33 + 1d6 ⇒ (9, 12, 7, 6) + 33 + (2) = 694d12 + 33 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 5, 12, 10) + 33 + (2) = 704d12 + 33 + 1d6 ⇒ (12, 11, 8, 9) + 33 + (5) = 784d12 + 33 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 1) + 33 + (3) = 48
Flensing: 4d10 ⇒ (6, 2, 10, 8) = 26

Will: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (6) + 30 = 36

Fortunately for Ash ten feet is an excellent height for him!

Growing to a mighty fifteen feet in his wrath he brings his hammer down powerfully on the nearest unfortunate lizard.

Smash!: 1d20 + 33 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 33 + 1 = 444d12 + 30 ⇒ (7, 2, 7, 8) + 30 = 54

Ashlion nods distractedly and keeps stealing glances back at the titan as they travel away. He seems thoroughly in awe of the woman and his conversation doesn't veer onto anything else for some time.

Ashlion seems rather impressed by the woman's sheer size and offers a bow as well, although she likely can't even see him from her great height.

"SHE IS VERY IMPRESSIVE." He rumbles to Grelda. "IS SHE A GIANT?" Even in the tales he's never heard of a giant this tall.

"WELL THIS LOOKS NICE!" Ashlion booms with a smile. "PERHAPS WE SHOULD HAVE A HOLIDAY HERE ONCE WE HAVE SAVED THE WORLD!" It really does seem that nothing can do more than temporarily dent the barbarian's good humor.

"YOU ARE A LITTLE SMALL FOR ME PI-E-RET-A." Ashlion says with his usual booming laugh, "BUT OUR RINGMASTER IS A WORTHY WOMAN! SHE WILL FIGHT WELL WITH YOU."

He grandly waves Tasha forwards.

"HELLO?" Ashlion asks, marching into the shrine. "ARE YOU THE SWORD WHO CAN SPEAK TO PEOPLE? WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DIG YOU OUT?"

Ashlion does his best to talk more quietly as he introduces himself and his companions. Without realising it he falls into the odd cadence he uses when addressing shy-er animals.

Ashlion at his normal height only needs to stoop a little to enter the cave and does so, without his weapons and offering a cheerful wave.

"HELLO! WE ARE TRAVELLING ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. DO YOU LIVE HERE? IT IS A FINE HOME THAT YOU HAVE FOUND!"

Ashlion pulverises both monsters into a nasty slushy paste and then nods shortly, stepping back to help his wife through the snow.

Will: 1d20 + 30 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 30 + 2 = 41

Thanks to his wife's magic Ashlion throws off the howl and unleashes one of his own!

Intimidate: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (16) + 30 = 46
If that's a crit success then it has to make a fort save or die, as per Scare to Death

If not
He closes in, huge weapons swinging.

Double Strike: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (3) + 34 = 371d20 + 34 ⇒ (15) + 34 = 494d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 12, 10, 12) + 30 + (5) = 734d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (9, 10, 3, 12) + 30 + (1) = 65
Flensing if both hit: 4d10 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 5) = 14
+2d10 fire on crits.

Smash, Crash, Wham, Bam!: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (9) + 34 = 431d20 + 34 ⇒ (17) + 34 = 511d20 + 29 ⇒ (10) + 29 = 391d20 + 25 ⇒ (4) + 25 = 29
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 10, 6, 8) + 30 + (4, 2) = 634d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 7, 4, 5) + 30 + (4) = 564d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (7, 12, 11, 12) + 30 + (2) = 744d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 4) + 30 + (1) = 40
Flensing: 4d10 ⇒ (4, 4, 8, 5) = 21
+2d10 fire on any crits.

Reflex: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (8) + 28 = 36

Ashlion is caught unaware and is trapped by icy ooze-ness!

Escape: 1d20 + 37 ⇒ (2) + 37 = 39

Thankfully he is far more powerful than puny ice and bursts out before growing to a mighty height and producing his flaming weapons which glow fiercely in the snow!

Not So Hard Smack: 1d20 + 34 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 34 - 2 = 451d20 + 34 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 34 - 2 = 401d20 + 29 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 29 - 2 = 331d20 + 29 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 29 - 2 = 30
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (12, 1, 1, 4) + 30 + (1) = 494d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (7, 4, 2, 6) + 30 + (5) = 544d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (10, 9, 9, 3) + 30 + (4) = 654d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (11, 4, 4, 7) + 30 + (2) = 58

Ashlion tries NOT to hit the men in front of his as hard as possible - which is something of a new experience for the barbarian.

Ashlion turns and swells alarmingly to form a near impenetrable wall of muscle between the soldiers and the lattice.

"DON'T DO ANYTHING FOOLISH!" He says firmly.

Will attack if they try to go past. No idea how to do non-lethal in PF2.

Ashlion goes first, as that is his role, he hasn't bothered putting his weapons away and seems poised for violence.

Ashlion just shrugs. If Grelda can't figure it out then it's probably not worth knowing. And he can smash any number of soldiers if needed.

"HAH!" The barbarian roars, lashing out in a blaze of weaponry.

Many attacks: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (12) + 34 = 461d20 + 34 ⇒ (15) + 34 = 491d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 361d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28

Flensing: 4d10 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 5) = 14
Also 2d10 flaming if I get any crits.

Fort: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (15) + 33 = 481d20 + 33 ⇒ (8) + 33 = 41

Ashlion takes a number of hits, but completely ignores the stunning effects of the blows - being far too mighty for such trivialities.

There's nothing left to do but murder things!

Attacks: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (18) + 34 = 521d20 + 34 ⇒ (5) + 34 = 391d20 + 24 ⇒ (9) + 24 = 331d20 + 26 ⇒ (6) + 26 = 32

Ref: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (1) + 28 = 291d20 + 28 ⇒ (6) + 28 = 34 77 damage after resistances and healing.

"HOT!" The barbarian roars in anger. Despite being slowed however he still has huge reach and makes use of it to strike at the nearest saurian!

Smashy: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (8) + 34 = 421d20 + 34 ⇒ (3) + 34 = 374d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (10, 5, 3, 7) + 30 + (5) = 604d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 12, 7, 4) + 30 + (3) = 57

Fort: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (16) + 33 = 49

"AT LAST!" Ashlion bellows, seemingly undaunted by the amount of blows he has taken. Instead he sets to work paying them back in kind!

Double Slice; Double Follow-Up: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (10) + 34 = 441d20 + 34 ⇒ (18) + 34 = 521d20 + 24 ⇒ (18) + 24 = 421d20 + 26 ⇒ (17) + 26 = 43
Damage: 4d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (9, 2, 5, 1) + 30 + (4) = 514d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 12, 1, 7) + 30 + (6) = 644d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 11, 8, 11) + 30 + (1) = 654d12 + 30 + 1d6 ⇒ (11, 3, 6, 12) + 30 + (1) = 63

Ashlion glances left and right, just to check, before he draws his weapons and grows to his mighty combat height!
