Ba'az Astor's page

Jake looks at Elmo sternly, "Because you were off galivanting with this one," he says, thumbing at Ba'az.

"Right, I have my equipment ready, as well as the most important item in our, well, my, arsenal."

"Sorry I didn't mean to cause strain on your bromance. But Jake you could have come also".

I think I came in on a horse.

Ba'az bonds with the kobold over their journey but doesn’t understand why the kobolds need to add a incalculable layers of stratification to their social structure.

Elmo and Ba'az hook up with the rest group when they return and set out to Winterhaven.

Sorry DM Dave, I was waiting on you.

"An excellent decision. We can share tales of our heritage and I can read you my book."

"I would be glad to hear, Also allow me to tell you of the virtues of a personal devotion to Ioun"

To Elmo: I would be glad for the company on this errand."

Minime can come along.

"We are all in agreement let us proceed stoping only so I may inform my superiors about this alter so they can send a group of priests to dismantle it, then on to Winterhaven".

My interest has been peaked, I shall follow the path before us as far as it will take us. Lead on marshal.

DM:

I attack the rat with my Bolstering strike.

attack=11 damage=10 a swing and a miss

whats left?

Ba’az uses his divine challenge on a1.

Ba’az then sacrifices his move action to get another minor action, he then uses divine mettle on Logan. Logan makes a immediate saving throw with a +3 to resist any effect on him.

Lastly Ba’az uses his bolstering strike on a1.
attack=14, damage=13
If I hit , not likely, I gain 3 temp HP.

AoO=18
AoO damage=7

when it's Ba'az's turn he steps one squar forward next to Logan and uses his breath weapon to target the shadow and the rats

Breath Weapon attack=20
Breath Weapon damage=7

not forgotten, I just need them in closer to get them all with my breath weapon.

Ba'az steps behind Logan and uses his Bolstering Strike on A1.

Attack=22
Damage=11

And Ba'az gains 3 temporary HP.

Ba'az moves up 4 squares and over 6 and puts a divine challenge on the nearest rat.

"Aye I can feel it and soon it shall feel the righteousness of Ioun's blade".

Ba'az advances down the corridor, his falchon at the ready.

"I suggest we procede in formation, I'll take the lead of course followed by Elmo, Jake, Yrenn and Logan guarding our flank."

"I a...a...don't touch pilfered stuff."

"The armor serves no purpose to the dead and our cause is just. Now stop being squimish and fasten the back straps.

I'm fine with Elmo taking the sword. What type of armor is the armor of exploits?

It is plate armor.

I can use the armor if no one else needs it more than I.

*assuming one else can use it* "Logan my good man could you help me don the plate mail?"

"Relax Jake The undead a very good at waiting. Thay'll be there when we arrive".

I'll start prying off another panel. attempt one=12

Ba'az takes the proffered crowbar, and sticks it into the almost imperceptible space. With a few loud grunts he manages to pry the covers off the alcoves. Each one seems to have been used as a burial place for someone, or something, but the bodies have been mostly reduced to dust by now.

I hope Uber doesn't mind my RPing Ba'az for him.

not at all

I pull the crowbar from my pack and offer it to Elmo.

"Exuberance is 80% of any task the other 20% is leverage".

"looks like we follow the drain, unless some one with sharper eyes than mine can find a hidden passage".

"We should expect more of the same the farther we travel, Orcus is the demonlord of the undead and his priests have many more types of necrotic nasties guarding them".

perception=4

I rush up to the last zombie (move to L-15) and use my divine challange on it and swung at it with my holy strike.

attack=17

damage=5+3 radiant damage

Dependant on what Jake does:

Ba'az uses his divine chalange on Z2, then shifts into square K-11 flanking it with Elmo.
Attacks using Holy Strike; attack=25
Damage=8+2 points radiant damage.

"Logan, I'll set 'em up you knock 'em down".

OA=22, damage=7

I am also blooded.

Ba'az will rush forward to 12-J (reached weapon) and attack Z1 with his peircing strike.

attack=18

damage=14

"Ioun will strip you of your undeath foul vermin".

Ba'az will start forward keeping an eye and ear out anything unuseual and stop when he gets to B-12 and wait s for the others to join him.

Ba'az should be up by Logan, that's where the other map had b-12.

added the ten Initiative rolls to my profile, looks like I will be going last for most combats.

Best to tie him up, it won't hold him for long but long enough for us to find the cult before he could warn them.

Mumbles under his breath and shakes his head
"halflings...."

"You pinkskins all look alike to me".

Mumbles under his breath and shakes his head
"humans...."

*I hiss and snap at the goblins face*

"Where are the authories, indeed."

Forget the guards, explaining will take to much time and we could loose our 'guide' as well.

We could ask our captive to guide us to them under penalty of death should he betray us.

"Orcus is the demon Lord of Undead and the sworn enemy of the Raven Queen, his priests are usually necromancers and demand blood scarifies. This human was probably using the cows as a sacrifice but for him and his cult to gain more favor from Orcus they would have to sacrifice sentient creatures. It is also unlikely the farmhand is the one in charge, the rituals needed to commune with Orcus are not usually written down and must be taught".

I will wrap Orcus' holy symbol in a cloth and put it away until I have the time to destroy it.

Religion roll = 15

Ba'az Astor Paladin of Ioun.

Little Cousin if I could examine the object I might be able to tell it's purpose. Again I suggest we get off the streets before we attract too much attention.

"A closer examination of the object Little cousin picked up can provide us with answers for questions we have yet to ask". "We should also slay this foul creature before he can inflict his evil on others and them move inside the church to debrief the young lady".

"Ioun's blessings to you 'Pink skin' for your assistance" I say to Logan

"Yrenn it is a pleasure to see you again, Ioun must intend for us to work together".

Edit:
Ba'az almost drops from the damage (1hp left) but instead lunges forward using his bolstering strike(adding 3 temp HP to himself) on the one he hit before. attack=23 and damage=6 and I spend an action point and use a healing surge healing 6hp and incressing my AC by 2 until the beginning of my next turn.

Ba'az almost drops from the damage (1hp left) but instead lunges forward using his Paladin's Judgment (one regular attack and one ally within 5 squares can use a healing surge) on the one he hit before. attack=23 and damage=6 and I use the healing surge on myself healing 6hp and incressing my AC by 2 until the beginning of my next turn.

Ba'az uses his bolstering strike on the the goblin he wounded before.
Attack=21, Damage=10 and Ba'az gains 3 temp HP and shifts back 5 feet.
my falchion has reach so I will get an attack of opportunity if any of them close to attack.

attack on the nearest=20, the attack on the other=12

Edit: I think the attacks are against reflex not AC and I also forgot to roll for the damage. Damage=8

With the sound of hacking cough Ba'az spews forth a cloud of acid engulfing the two villians attacking him. enlarged breath weapon also I'm using my phone to post this so I can't link the rolls on this post the following will have the roll link.

I don't have a scanner and have not been able to find a good on-line mapping utility. If anyone can help with that it would be great.

I just draw up crude maps with windows paint and post them on devaint art and provide a link for the players.

Initiative

Ba'az roars at the largest of the group, a divine force infuses his words, "Ioun commands you halt and face me, surrender now and avoid the pain of battle"
I mark the largest with my devine challange.

I forgot to ask what panthion are we useing?
