Baldwyn Doucas's page

Not worth it.

Assuming the ice patch is gone? I hope?

Baldwyn moves into the cavern to try to swipe at the woman whose footprints are visible in the puddle.

Vital Strike + Power Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 19 + 1d10 ⇒ (8) + 19 + (3) = 30
I'd say roll for concealment, but I doubt a 16 hits...

Baldwyn takes a step back and starts hacking at the rouge cobra, trying to muscle his blade through the reinforced skin of the snake!

Power Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 Nat 1...
damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Iterative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

So... many... 1's.....

Well, just leaves us to power through it.

Day Job is crossing off first box of treasure map boon.

Combat reflexes, take AoO as it nears.

AoO: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 17 + 2 = 29
Damage: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Non-adamantine slashing damage

Baldwyn wades through the shallow water to take a powerful swing at the remaining archer!

Power Attack + Vital Strike: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Damage: 1d10 + 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (3) + (3) + 19 = 25
Felling Smash trip vs CMD: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

It's a sharp blow, to be sure, but when Baldwyn tries to turn the hit into a trip, it's him who falls over!

Upon his go, Baldwyn swings again a couple of times at the archer before him.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28

Iterative: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 = 26
Damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22

As the man shoots his bow, Baldwyn reaches out to trip him!
AoO trip: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 18 + 2 + 1 = 22 Nat 1. Sad day.

Shrugging off the damage as a scratch, Baldwyn steps up and swings at the man.
"Wrong choice!"

Power Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 1 = 32
Damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

Baldwyn steps closer to the nearest man, still out of reach, and readies to trip him if he approaches.
"Drop your bows, keep blades tucked away, and stand down. Ya got me?" he warns.

Kagar turns and addresses the woman over his shoulder. "It is for the children that we report what we find. The decision is Madame Zadrian's."

With nothing left to gain, Kagar leads the others out.

Apparently 'enchente' is the Portuguese word for 'flood'. Interesting that it would be the top picks for Google rather than trying to autocorrect to the French term by adding accents and the like.

Baldwyn moves up to try to block the men from taking the eggs deeper into the caves.

Baldwyn shrugs. "Dunno. Didn't understand a bit o' that."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Wanting to be seen as not totally heartless, Baldwyn gives the man (if he's still standing) the chance to lay down arms. "Attack us again, or anyone here, and ye'll regret it. Ya don't have ta join yer chummies."

Readied action to trip the man and follow up with an attack if the man makes a hostile action.

As the man comes up, Baldwyn tries to cut him down before he makes his shot.

AoO trip because reach is sadly broken: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 18 + 2 = 31 vs CMD
AoO from greater trip: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 2 = 20
AoO damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

With the men close as hand, Baldwyn swings his blade to put them down for good. He clearly is trying to impress the lizadolk.
Power attack on yellow if he's still conscious: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Iterative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28
confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
confirmation damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

Baldwyn moves into the fray, glaring at the man in red. "Let them lizard folk be!" he shouts before trying to cleave the man in twain.

Vital Strike + Power Attack + Felling Smash + Haste: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 14 + 1 = 31
Damage: 1d10 + 19 + 1d10 ⇒ (2) + 19 + (7) = 28
Trip: 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 18 + 1 + 2 = 30

Unless it's autumn or spring, in which case summer is taking a worldwide break.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Baldwyn spots a piece of parchment and pulls it from a bedroll. "Huh. A note of some sort." He passes it around for all to read. See spoiler above.

It tickles me that it's not Baldwyn people are trying to calm down from violence, haha.

Baldwyn goes into a more relaxed stance with the threat nonexistent. He asks in clear Taldane (aka 'Common') very slowly, "Are there any traps we should know of? Any bad things we step on."
Not tryin' to be rude, just dunno if they'll understand the common tongue.

He looks to someone to translate if they do not understand him.

Sorry, kept forgetting to check my modified stealth roll.

Stealth: 1d20 ⇒ 4

"That or they're smart and don' wanna throw their lives away yet. Either way, let's see 'em be satisfied."

Hefting his bardiche again, Baldwyn makes his way slowly (and not overly silently) into the enemies' stronghold, keeping an eye out for any troubles.

Ditto on losing you. Was good playing with ye and exchanging fire with Razmand. I wish you well in getting over your burn-out.

Baldwyn adjusts his new clasp and reaffirms his grip on the trusty bardiche as he looks at the rudimentary gate. "I ain't one for sneakin', but perhaps it best we go in with caution. This ain't our turf here. Who knows what guards and traps they got in there," he whispers to the group.

Received and printed. Thank you very much for running! =)

I haven't been keeping up with the faction cards. I don't dislike them, just never got into using them.

But thank you for asking! =)

It is. Google Drive has the ability to do documents of various types. The maps, for instance, are in Slides (aka PowerPoint) while the chronicle sheet I posted is a Drawing. Same program, really, just a different means of presentation.

*sigh* I am SO, SO, sorry.

Yes, okay, I can edit that - but where do I put the copies, and how?

How:

Sharing
Same as the map. You can get the shareable link for the document and send it to us either through this thread, PM, email, whatever.

Feel free to use the copy linked in the previous post. (I had saved it as an image and inserted it in the drawing.)

-Posted with Wayfinder

D'oh! I did everything but post the link to the mentioned sheet!
This is it.
This will point out how to make the text boxes for the chronicle.

Check your PM again. That should help some.

For the text boxes, look for the button that has a capital T inside a box. Then click where you want it. You can move it, resize it, whatever you want from there.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Check your PM's GM.

Baldwyn goes to restrain Zorro. "Calm down, gorrammit. They ain't a threat. The puppeteer is gone."

If Zorro insists on attacking the lizards, Baldwyn has no qualms with tripping him. And possibly sitting on him to keep him from getting up.

-Posted with Wayfinder

If you open it into a new presentation or drawing, you can add text boxes and shapes or whatever. It would basically be like doing it in Microsoft Publisher or PowerPoint (which I guess would also be alternatives if you can isolate the chronicle sheet).

Hmmm. If you can get the page from a pdf using the aforementioned site, you could post it onto Google Drive and put text boxes in to fill it out. Then just send the links out to the view-only file.

Other than that, honestly it's going back to printing the blank chronicles, filling them in by hand, and scanning them back to send them.

@Baldwyn: Is GIMP an online tool, or do I really have to download and install it like a normal computer program (which I'll do if I have to)?

It is a program to download and install.

So that's how much the wobbly-headed doll caper netted.

The remaining mysteries of the tomb have been uncovered for your hindsight-viewing leisure.

That long hallway on the far left is actually the 'gutter' that the pit traps led to (don't worry; you still wouldn't have been stuck with the leeches). There was one thing of note down there: The remains of an Ancient Osirian grave robber with a bit of respectable treasure.

The left door in the T-intersection, as you can now see, went literally nowhere. Gotta love Ancient Osirian architecture.

Much as I'd like to be wrong, I suppose I technically have to dock you a bit of gold because you never found that corpse...and then there's the matter of the roomful of costume treasure that's technically worth a bit of money if you were able to stow it all somehow. Were you?

I've heard that it is assumed either we or a followup party picks up whatever treasure is not actively mentioned and thus added to the total. Exclusions would be "you needed a Perception DC 500 to find the safe to get the gold", or "defeat this dude to take his +37 greatsword". But I've not seen anything to corroborate that in the Guide. Still, if that's what ya wanna do...

As for carrying, Bag of Holding holds 250 pounds, Baldwyn's got another 300 pounds before he falls over. How much was there again?

Digital chronicles?

Take your PDF. Go to http://www.splitpdf.com/ and upload the file, and take only the last page. Then use Adobe Reader's default commenting application to fill out things like signature, initials, and text boxes.

Um...okay. I did that, now I can't figure out how to edit it. I don't even know if I have Adobe Reader. It shows up on Firefox or something for me. I can't find any editing tools.

To be honest, I've never figured out how to fill in the PDF using Adobe Reader.

That's why I use Gimp, a free image editing program. You can open a PDF right into the program, selecting only the pages or pages you want (such as the chronicle sheet). Then I just use the text tool to fill it in.

There are SO many different ways to do it, haha.

Regarding chronicles: you can either print the chronicles, fill them out by hand, and scan them back in to deliver electronically; or use a photo editor such as gimp to open that page of the pdf to fill it out electronically.

Delivery can be done through dropbox, Google drive, or emailed.

Baldwyn nabs the healing potion and feeds it to Zorro.

With some rest, the party is back to normal and Baldwyn expresses his itch to get on to the Muckmouth, or whatever it's called.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Aye, Baldwyn won't fight those what don't fight back. Not sporting. Not worth it.

Baldwyn shakes his head at Geric. "Trying to run away again??? You're not foolin' anyone!" The taldan man puts a stop to that rather quickly.

AoO to trip: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 2 = 34
AoO from Greater Trip: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28

Smiling at the opportunity, Baldwyn steps forward and swings on the lean lizard! The smile quickly vanishes as he is unable to take advantage of it.

Power Attack on lean lizard: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26

Iterative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24

To be clear, the attack on my turn easy on the lizard, open spoiler if it hit to trip him.

Only the two AoO's (three if he stood) were at Geric.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Until just now, I thought it was only one AoO for the move, regardless of spaces moved. Now I see it's not the move action but leaving each square. Learning is fun!

"Bastard won't stop, will he?"

With another swing, Baldwyn aims for the man's feet.

Trip!: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 18 + 2 = 35

That is correct.

Additionally, Razmand is correct. Ability damage does not incur a penalty until it reaches -2, regardless of what value it would make your ability score. Details in CRB under Ability Score Damage, Penalty, and Drain. (I know, it doesn't make too much sense but such it is.)

And if it comes up, no additional checks are needed for using the bardiche since the initial save was made against grease.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Baldwyn makes to move out of the grease and moves north around the lean lizard provoking an AoO
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

He then opts to power attack the thing as best as he can!
Power Attack + Vital Strike + Felling Smash + Flank: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 2 = 20
