Baltazar sees the courageous halfling approaching, so he let it be and stand still several feet away from the man, watching the portal.
Baltazar moves to flank the creature then attacks it:
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12! Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (2) + 1 = 5
I'm waiting for the creature's turn. It acts before us.
Oh yes, Belevolence or Korlungr will heal you ^_^
I don't recall where we've heard the name.
Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
The halfling suddenly looks confused.
"Magic Portal?"
Baltazar goes around it, flaking with Kelvor and attacking the creature.
Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 2 = 23! Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (5) + 1 = 8
Confirmation: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 2 = 21! Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Baltazar will move out of the main trail, to avoid being detected.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Baltazar moves around to stop behind the creature, flaking with whoever strikes it at the face. Double move for that matter
Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Baltazar will delay, waiting for a chance to flank it.
"Cut its head out and feed it to the goats? I don't see much if talking with it becomes useless..."
Baltazar lifts his shoulders but says nothing. He approaches the doll remains and gives them a little, soft kick, to test it.
Baltazar waits to see what effect Lostariel's words cause on the dool, but readies an action to happen if diplomacy does not solve the situation:
Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13! Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
"Hunnn, you... why are we stopping here to begin with? I think we should keep following the trail, there seems to be nothing here."
Baltazar gets into the house and start looking for anything worth of note, maybe a clue.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Baltazar approaches careful about traps that might lurk between the entrance and the figure.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
How close are we from finishing this DaWay?
Sometimes I believe I have a a -10 to perception... How did this comment started anyway?
Wishes the best recover to whoever is sick.
Will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
What the hell is happening with this site?
Baltazar says nothing, but waves a hand for the others to stay back. He draws a leather roll from his belt and opens it, revealing some thin metal tools. The halfling moves closer to disable the traps and take them with him, so they may use them later, if needed.
DD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
DD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Weird, ghosts ate my post...
Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Baltazar attempts to move behind the tree without getting hit by it, Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22, and if sucessfull he will attack it.
Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 221d4 ⇒ 1
Confirmation: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 181d4 ⇒ 1
Critical hit for 2 damage? Hear me ROAR!
It have already acted on the surprise round, so it is not susceptible to sneak attack, right?
Moving on, quiet as a snowflake
Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Baltazar takes a look around the surrounding area for any sign of the animal.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Baltazar 5-foot-steps to flank a skeleton with Kelvor, aiming for the backbone to destroy the thing.
MW Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 2 + 2 = 20!Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + (3) + 1 = 5
If the thing is dead he will goes for the other one, if not he will keep striking it.
Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 2 + 2 = 21! Or just 19 if not flanking.Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (6) + 1 = 10 Or just 3 damage if not flanking.
confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22extra damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Baltazar will enjoy the peaceful weather, taking a flock of snow from the falling ones and put it in his tongue so it would melt.
Baltazar suddenly begins to talk with Kelvor without faltering, as if he was not shy at all:
"This were scrolls of an evil spell, that could animate the dead. There's nothing we can do with it other than destroy it. We cannot use it, nor sell it, as someone would use it at the end, and profane someone's corpse." He looks to Kelvor seeking comprehension, scanning the man for some seconds. "You do understand what I mean, don't you?"
Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Sorry if I did not gave the party that option. Shy as Baltazar is, he would have said nothing and just destroyed it right away, explaining it later if required.
Also, I believe there's no difference to the gold, as long as we did find it, and we did. Using or destroying it or keeping would result the same in society rules. But DaWay, if this lowers our gold take it down of my share/sheet, not penalizing the others.
Baltazar destroys the three scrolls, before talking with the others. "I found some stuff, does anyone use any of this?"
Baltazar will leave the talking to the talking halfling, while he takes 20 in perception (for 27) and on disable device (for 30) to open the chests if they are locked, and check whatever is inside.
"Will you be able to go back home? Our mission is to rescue you, but we will do that if it is relevant, won't we?" He looks at the others.
Andoran's main gift: Freedom, my lady.
Baltazar nods and start moving toward the door to the basement.
You're doing a great job Boram!
Baltazar just waits for the 'negotiation' to get finished, lowering his desire to kill the man.
Well, I was fast enough to read that Norgober sentence (he never said he was a cleric tough), but if he never said it...
SM: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Baltazar comes to a halt and blinks twice, as if trying to put together what he just heard. There is something wrong here. I should kill him and be done with it. But maybe it is true...
"If what you say is true get us to her, and fast."
No healing at all. I'm not sure how good you are at Sense Motive, but Baltazar IS moving for the kill, eyes narrowed and all. He probably won't have the time to answer your questions, if I get there.
Baltazar moves from his listening position, drawing a Short Sword with his left hand.
"Oh yes, you HAVE told us some things, including you are a cleric of Norgober, you work with undeads, you killed the lady's guards and turned them into undead, tried to kill lady Argentea and probably killed the rightfull owners of this house too so you could keep it, didn't you? Any last words?"
Baltazar moves toward the vile creature with sword at hand. He is clearly going to cut the man's throat if no one interferes.
Well, you certainly surpassed my cleric on the matter, not a tongue gifted but a truespeaker...
Baltazar smiles at the flurry of questions and adds his own:
"When?
That's exactly what I'm saying, the gm should tell you if you need to roll it, or even do it for you to speed up in pbp. We just have no way to know if the NPC is friendly or hostile towards us.
And I believe Boram was not talking about you anyway.
Hmm, we are lacking a healer hun?
Walter Filho signing in.
Yeah, I second you on that one, I've seen it many times, specially in pbp where you can preview the result of your roll. But I believe it always depends on the NPC behavior towards you, and a very few GM actually tell you that (anyhow). If, for example, someone is friendly or indiferent toward you a simple information should not be subject to a roll, but while the NPC is in that attitude category you should not get it the info, no matter how much you've spoken.
Diplomacy rolls CAN and SHOULD be used to improve the attitude of someone toward the pcs once you realize it does not want to help you anyhow, and the DCs are pretty decent.
Otherwise you may write lengthy posts, very well described and argued, but the NPC thinks "you're too arrogant" and just don't want to help you...
A hard point to master, it is...
Of course, on RP heavy games that's possible...
Baltazar waits emotionless.
Baltazar jumps through the window and moves toward Rokhar, tying the man and holding one side of the rope, to avoid him from disappearing again.
Sorry folks, I've got to leave you alone in that fight, Rokhar cannot escape.
Map
Maybe the map is making it harder and we can go back to the "I flank" "I shoot" "Color spray" all of them cause, seriously, we need more info to make that work.
What say you?
Not certain if he is hitting or not, Baltazar keeps shoting at Rokhar:
Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27 Please add ranged penalty if more than 60ft.
Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (5) + 1 = 8 Sneak since it's running
Confirm critical: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 20
Aditional damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8
Successful, he tries once more to hit the fleeing invisible man:
Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 261d4 ⇒ 4
He jumps from the window to follow the man, rolling to avoid the falling damage:
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
I've added some soldiers to the map. If you can, please just move them around DaWay.
MAP
Oh this google drawing is sooo funny...
Baltazar moves to the window and hopes Rokhar's footprints give up his location:
Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d4 ⇒ 4
