Barad Ingold's page

Likewise! Thank you for GMing Tyranius, and great playing with you, everyone!

After returning home, Barad plays an elven reed-horn flute for those who wish to listen to a "storied talent" and perhaps drop some coin...

Downtime:
Performance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
DC 20 (Task Level 5)

Fail = 2sp x 8 = 1.6 gp

During the rest, Barad would try to tend to Amarie's wounds:

Treat Wounds: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 Medicine
2d8 ⇒ (5, 7) = 12 hp

~~~~~

Barad runs up to the closest pathfinder (#6) in the rift and tries to grab hold of them, bodily hauling them out of the area and throwing them eastwards, back to safety.

Athletics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

He calls out to the others, nodding towards pathfinder #8, "My armor will slow me down, can anybody get to them?"

(If Barad still has an action after that, he'll move 3 squares (20') diagonally to the northwest)

GM - If Amarie goes down again due to her being ahead of him in the turn order, and if Barad drops the Green enemy with his Power attack, could I change the rest of his turn (in lieu of stepping to his current position) to the following?

(◇) Release one hand from sword.

(◆◆) Administer First Aid to Amarie, DC 18. The d20 Barad rolled for his second (hasted) Strike was a 14. His Medicine is +7, which would be a 21 - enough to stabilize Amarie. Barad always wears healer's tools, so that plus making one hand free meets the requirements.

Thanks very much, and no worries if not!

Letting himself breathe a tiny sigh of relief upon seeing Amarie's eyes open but gritting his teeth when he sees Frogger fall, Barad throws every ounce of energy he has into defeating this unnatural beast, first furiously swinging with a (◆◆) Power Attack as he mutters, "Desna, guide my blade..."

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword Power Attack: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 16 + 1 = 36 (plus Bless)
Magical Slashing Damage: 3d12 + 4 ⇒ (9, 11, 4) + 4 = 28
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

Then a followup hasted (◆) Strike:
+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (14) + 16 + 1 - 10 = 21 (plus Bless)
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (7, 11) + 4 = 22

And a single (◆) Step north.

Fort vs. Green: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 5, 5) = 15 / 2 = 7

14 / 73 hp

If Barad kills the green one with his power attack, he will just take a single step north, staying out of range of red's gaze while lining up to attack it next round.

Aloud, over the din, "Can anyone get to Frogger?"

---

Should an (↺) Attack of Opportunity arise while Barad is still conscious:
+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 1 = 24 (plus Bless)
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

Seeing allies falling and feeling his own strength failing, Barad thinks quickly to try and stay on his feet to fend off the green hound long enough for the team to take the red one down.

He releases his lower hand from his sword (◇), allowing him to Interact to grab his last (but most powerful) healing potion from his belt (◆), then (assuming he hasn't left himself open to an attack of opportunity), will (◆) drink it:

Moderate Healing Potion: 3d8 + 10 ⇒ (6, 4, 4) + 10 = 24
(28 / 73 hp)

He then Interacts to re-grip (◆) his flamberge, and uses his hasted action to (◆) Strike, calling on nearby Pathfinders to Aid his attack (from our pre-game rewards for a +2) -

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 16 + 1 + 2 = 34 (plus Bless and Aid)
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (7, 5) + 4 = 16
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

Fort vs. Green: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 6) = 14 / 2 = 7
Fort vs. Red: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 3) = 13 / 2 = 6

15 / 73 hp

He calls out over the din of battle through gritted teeth as Amarie falls, "Frogger, do you still have that healing scroll I gave you? We might need it!"

Should an (↺) Attack of Opportunity arise while Barad is still conscious:
+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 16 + 1 = 36 (plus Bless)

Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

GM, you appear to be off on Barad's hp by a bit. I'm not sure how you had me at 17 prior to this turn when I was only at 4.

Knowing how hurt he is, Barad would have used Shield Block (↺) from his Aeon Stone on the first hit, negating the 9 damage, but he would still take full damage from the critical hit.

(4 / 73 hp)

Barad listens and waits for Amarie, then tries to take advantage of his increased speed to defend the others. He first lashes out with a (◆◆) Power Attack against the Pink hound:

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword Power Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
Magical Slashing Damage: 3d12 + 4 ⇒ (3, 7, 5) + 4 = 19
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

Then a single (◆) Strike:

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 10 ⇒ (15) + 16 - 10 = 21
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (2, 5) + 4 = 11

And then a hasted (◆) Strike:

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 10 ⇒ (14) + 16 - 10 = 20
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 = 13

(On the off-chance that it dies before using all three strikes, Barad will cast Shield with 1 action)

Fort vs. Pink: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
1d8 ⇒ 5 (or 0 if Pink died first)
Fort vs. Green: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 6) = 15 = 20 total (pending Pink)
Fort vs. Red: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 6) = 16 / 2 = 8 = 28 total (pending Pink)

33/73 hp

~~~

Should an Attack of Opportunity (↺) arise:
+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (10, 5) + 4 = 19

Barad unfortunately still has no way to positively help here beyond untrained flailing, and so remains on-guard for exterior threats.

During the break, Barad would drink another of his Lesser potions:
2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 8) + 5 = 14

Then work on somebody's injuries with Treat Wounds:
Medicine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 5) + 5 = 16

(Frogger, Piney, or Avonatha, since Amarie should be at 100% hp)

GM - Amarie drank a potion before the last encounter at the same time Barad did, so I believe you have inaccurate hit points for her at the present time.

For the present issue, however, the young aasimar can do nothing but stand by with sword-in-hand ready in case a threat appears that he has the tools to combat.

@Barad- You have a fourth action due to being quickened. With all of the enemies down but one I will use it to stride towards it.

I failed the save and so I am slowed 1, negating the 4th action. Did Coptidel's reaction negate us both having to make those saves, since I didn't see him making one?

1d20+10 disrupt undead

Just fyi, there is no attack roll associated with Disrupt Undead.

Reflex Save w/Bulwark: 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 3 = 14
(with no hero points, that's a fail)

Barad grimaces as he takes the hit from the temporal shudder, glancing over his shoulder towards the group. Through gritted teeth, he utters out "Let's cut this thing down so we can protect the rest." as he tries to (◆)(◆)(◆) Strike three times at the enemy in front of him:

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (12, 11) + 4 = 27

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 5 = 23
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (4, 11) + 4 = 19

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 16 - 10 = 9
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (9, 1) + 4 = 14

~~~

Should an Attack of Opportunity (↺) arise:
+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (8, 12) + 4 = 24
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

another garbage turn

Following Amarie's fiery opening, Barad leaps into action, first raising the Shield (◆) from his Aeon Stone, then enacting a (◆◆) Sudden Charge to wind up in front of the southernmost (Green) foe!

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (7, 4) + 4 = 15
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

He follows that up with another (◆) Strike!

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 16 - 5 = 19
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (9, 3) + 4 = 16
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

(alas for no more hero points...those rolls suck)

-9 hp from the rift.

If time permits, Barad will drink a potion to quickly recover from the cold, and suggest Amarie and the others do the same if the group is being forced to quickly move from the rift to helping Heraxia, who he will also greet in draconic before moving to help.

Mission 1:
Barad is confused at the alien terminology, but one he's clued in that the device will help sustain living beings, he at least has an idea on how to affect repairs:

Medicine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Medicine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Mission 2:
When the time comes for heavy lifting, however, Barad is front-and-center to bear whatever burdens he can shoulder for the others:

Athletics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Athletics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Mission 3:
Following the Venture-Captain's orders, Barad also works to set up a defensive perimeter, moving heavy objects to choke-points and so forth:

Athletics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Athletics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
(If Lore skills are encouraged vs. other skills, Barad can have his expert hireling André Vivèc do Scouting Lore at a +9...so the same as above just -4, each)

---

All - As I am reminded of my dearth of hero points, I noticed that we all have an "aid skill or attack +2" that I don't think anybody has used yet. Wanted to call attention to it, just in case. By that same token, I think we'd all have used our +2 Fort on that last save, or earlier in the adventure...wouldn't have changed my results, though, lol.

Barad strains against the energies spilling from the rift...

As he continues to shout encouragements to the others!

Grateful for the night of restful sleep, Barad consumes the second of the Moderate Antiplagues they obtained before the mission's start.

Knowing he has not the skills to work on the rift directly, he nonetheless tries to be encouraging. "I know you can do this. Your magical strength has never faltered!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
(If I wasn't holding my last HP in case someone needs saving from a critical failure, I'd consider using it there. Ah well.)

Is this the same day/event we are now in or did we get the night to rest?

https://paizo.com/campaigns/v5748p75ivm9n/discussion&page=5#205

Reflex (Bulwark) 1: 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 3 = 24 (9)
Reflex (Bulwark) 2: 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 3 = 31 (0)

Barad is singed by the first arc of electricity but his armor helps him shrug off the second. He then attempts to (◆) Strike at the green robot he flanks with Amarie:

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 vs. Flat-Footed
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 = 12
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

And again, another (◆) Strike:

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 16 - 5 = 16 vs. Flat-Footed
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (12, 1) + 4 = 17

~~~~~

Should an Attack of Opportunity (↺) arise:
+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

"We'll keep you covered, my lady. Keep at it!"

Barad winces as he's shot by these strange creatures, but tries to advance as best he can to protect Amarie as she works on the rift.

(◆◆) Sudden Charge (flank with Amarie vs yellow)

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 vs. Flat-footed
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (11, 11) + 4 = 26

Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

3.5 days of being violently sick is no fun, for the record. Looks like I caught a lucky break (timing-wise) for the PbP, though.

Everyone is full health as you have healing every 10 minutes from the Champion ability and Frogger has the group covered on Medicine Checks.

Everyone except for Gortek depending on his check from this trap that is.

Does that mean Barad perhaps didn't use all three of his potions? If Frogger posted about group medicine checks, I must have missed it (also didn't realize that we had more than 1 hour for rest or I wouldn't have rolled for all of them).

As for the current trap, it looks like Amarie has dispel magic (only at base level 2, though), if nobody else has an idea?

Barad would have needed to drink all of his potions while Amarie was tending to his wounds to restore himself to full health:

Moderate Healing Potion: 3d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) + 10 = 16
Lesser Healing Potion: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 3) + 5 = 15
Lesser Healing Potion: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15

25 + 10 + 16 + 15 + 15 = 81 / 73

posting from phone while out sick so apologies for the brevity

Barad will utilize his medicinal skills to help the others then himself after the battle. With the new arrivals he'll try all 14 languages he knows, putting his blade in its harness across his back to show his intentions are not violent as he tries to aid Avontha (unless we need to make checks individually in which case he will).

Common (Taldane), Hallit, Elven, Sylvan, Celestial, Aquan, Infernal, Necril, Undercommon, Draconic, Jotun, Cyclopian, Ignan, Tien.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

I want to make sure I am reading the magical, spell storing staff information correctly.

A staff I would get at 6th level would have 3 charges (unless I put slots in there) so I can cast 3 1st level spells or 1 2nd and 1 1st? Cantrips are free?

Yes, that is correct. My higher-level prepared casters (almost) universally love their staves!

It was. That crit and Gortek's crit is what killed Red.

Extra awesome. Thank you again! I was stopped at a red light when I asked and didn't get a chance to look at the gameplay.

Apologies. That 27 Did hit. For some reason I read that as a 17 at work. These creatures certainly don't have any crazy AC's like that! I added the damage into the tracker on Red.

Awesome, thank you! Does that mean the 34 was a crit, out of curiosity?

GM, I show Barad at 12hp but you've listed 25, just fyi.
Nevermind this one. Forgot my own class feature lol.

Fighting AC 30+ at this level is rough, though!
(since 27 vs. flat-footed missed)

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Yep, hero point incoming
Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Sonic Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (6, 7) = 13

Reeling a bit more from the sonic blasts, Barad grits his teeth and takes a (◆) Step so he flanks the reddish adult creature with the others, then will attempt to (◆) Strike against it.

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34 (vs. Red Flat-footed)
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6) + 4 = 14
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

He will make a second (◆) Strike as well. If the red one should fall, he'll target the yellow one.

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 16 - 5 = 27 (vs. Red Flat-footed or vs. Yellow normally)

(eh...how bad can it be?)
Sonic: 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (7, 6) + 9 = 22
(...oy)

Barad is rocked by the frightening sonic blast from the creature. He grumbles that none of them came close enough for his or Gortek's prepared actions (waste of a 32). Though hurt, he still advances with a (◆◆) Sudden Charge around the side of the room, hoping to set others up for a flanking opportunity later.

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 1 = 16 (Frightened 1)
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (10, 6) + 4 = 20

Gulping as he feels a slight pang of fear, he still tries for a second (◆) Strike.

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 1 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 16 - 1 - 5 = 16 (Frightened 1)
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (5, 9) + 4 = 18

...but at least he's no longer frightened?

(If applicable)

I think they're cute - Barad can I have one?

If nothing else, they might make a good dinner....

A festive dinner! :P

Barad sighs, gritting his teeth as he sees the dead Pathfinders, but realizes he can't cross the distance to the first creature without exposing himself to being surrounded. "Avenge, but still be careful. I don't want any of you ending up like them."

Muttering arcane words, Barad casts Shield (◆) from his Aeon Stone, then (◆◆) Readies an action to Strike if one of the predatory creatures gets within his reach.

Pre-rolling readied (↺) action:
+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

(If applicable)

If it's Athletics, Barad can offer to lead for a "follow the expert" thing. Otherwise, maybe some rope strung between us to help?

The young man takes a breath, not liking what he's seeing, but tries to sound hopeful. "Just one step at a time...careful, everyone."

Barad continues to take a defensive stance, nodding to the others when they're ready to venture into the tunnels, though uncertain as to which direction to select to start.

Just avoid the crit-fails and we can move, albeit really slowly...even Barad has less than a 50/50 at moving half speed in here.

Just as an aside, great RP, all :)

Barad will nod to confirm the translation is accurate. "Apologies, friend Gortek. Yes, I was expressing concern to Lord Coptidel when I followed him into battle on the assumption that he had cause to attack, because I am sworn to protect my fellow Pathfinders, even though I would have preferred, as Lady Avonathalanthalasa does, to find better answers than violence. Also please forgive me for instinctively approaching them in the Elven tongue. After so many years in Kyonin, it is habit."

But as there seems to be a general understanding between all, Barad will not press the issue any further beyond explanation of his statement, and will be ready for the task Venture-Captain Jirneau has for them.

Barad will secure the red-skinned man such that he will not be a threat, and also check to make sure his injuries are not life-threatening before the group departs.

Back at the staging areas, Barad nods in assent to the Venture-Captain, but then takes a moment to speak in private with the group before we set off on another task.

(Elven) "Lord, you are a holy warrior in service to the Inheritor. The blood that runs through Amarië and my veins is not concentrated enough to tell the goodness or evil of a person at a glance. As such, If you enter into an armed engagement, I will act on the assumption that you are following the ethos of Iomedae. Please take care when deciding to draw your blade that nonviolent options are not still available?"

He also turns to Avonathalanthalasa, (Elven) "and Lady, regardless of how we find ourselves in a contest of arms..." a slight glance towards the paladin for a moment, "your armored protectors would appreciate knowing if you will be a part of the mission or not. Because if the answer is no, perhaps we may better serve your interests by finding you other companions for the duration of these missions?"

Let me know if you don't use the reaction, and I'll mark off the damage on my by-line.

GM - Barad would take the attack of opportunity, BUT would rotate his grip to use the flat of the blade, making it a nonlethal attack (so the roll I made for the AoO would be a 26 instead of a 28).

Agreeing in principle with Avonathalanthalasa, even as he trusted the paladin of Iomedae's judgement to start the engagement, Barad will (◇) release one hand from his sword's hilt and attempt to (◆) grapple the red-skinned man, hoping to end this before somebody dies, even as he winces at the slight burn from splashed alchemical fire.

Athletics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26 (vs. flat-footed Fortitude DC)

He will attempt to speak in Infernal, wondering if the red skin is some sort of indicator...

(Infernal) "You cannot win. Hot tempers began this - let it end and we can talk!"

(◆) Bon Mot (Linguistic)
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 vs. Will DC (if he understands Infernal, that is, otherwise the action is wasted)

Finally, Barad verbally intones defensive words, activating the (◆) Shield spell from his (Wayfinder-slotted) Aeon Stone.

Barad would normally be hesitant to attack without attempting to parlay first, but noticing a bomb being grabbed and hearing the ominous words, he rushes into action behind Coptidel.

(◆◆) Suddenly Charging, he ends in flank with the elven paladin.

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 vs. Flat-footed
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 = 9

Probably missing, he will try to (◆) strike, again, though he is obviously being affected by the smoke and time-issues.

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 5 = 12 vs. Flat-footed
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (7, 11) + 4 = 22

(If applicable)

Barad stays close to Amarie and the others, letting them plot the group's collective course.

Barad nods in response to Avonathalanthalasa and secures the visor of his greathelm, taking a ready stance to defend the party once we depart.

Amarië apologies as I just made the post under the intent that noone would see injury to the creature. I can certainly change it up if it is completely against something she would allow.

Leave it. I got this :P

Barad tries to think quickly, sweating juuust a bit....

"Amarie, look out, Bentley's eating a copper piece!" He suddenly shouts, pointing at the Raccoon - in the OPPOSITE direction of the trap-and-pony show!

Deception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Seriously considering a hero point here...ah screw it. Sure.

Deception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

!!!

Warning, Amarie will probably blanch at any plan where animals get hurt, even if a summoned one returns to where they came from afterwards :P

I can heal her with the wayfinder of rescue. My champion reaction can mitigate her damage.

And Coptidel can also step on the plate. Then we remove the girl and Coptidel activate the trap on him like the Paladin he is. (With a moderate antidote.) This is my preferred option.

Barad would prefer an option that puts nobody at risk, but since I've GM'd this mission I can't really offer up any ideas. As such he'll be okay with this if Coptidel volunteers. He will, however, recommend that we make sure you're loaded up with any extra defenses possible (guidance, a shield-if-you-don't-already-have-one, etc.).

Barad nods, "A nonviolent solution would be preferable. If there's anything you need us to do that could help you in this effort...?"

Barad breathes a bit easier after the fight and after offering to assist (aid another) any medics among the team, flipping the mask of his helm up to give him a better field of view. "I concur. Judging by what Avonathalanthalasa says, it could be trying to fetch us."

He will stay on-guard if the group moves forward on this, but will try to be less on-edge.

Barad nods his head to Coptidel, admiring the elf's swift strike even as the young human aasimar slides his left hand to the heavy pommel of his two-handed blade, pulling it towards him as a counterbalance to gain momentum for a new strike (◆) at the pink-hued creature:

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (8, 11) + 4 = 23

...followed by a second strike (◆) at the same target:

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 16 - 5 = 22
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (6, 10) + 4 = 20

He then whispers celestial words in arcane cant to cast Shield (◆) from his invested and Wayfinder-slotted Aeon Stone (Hardness 10).

Should an Attack of Opportunity (↺) arise:
+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (10, 3) + 4 = 17
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

Barad acts quickly and decisively, stepping (◆) into the space Amarie left, then lowering his head with determination as he brings his flamberge down on the green-tinged creature with a power attack (◆◆).

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
Magical Slashing Power Attack Damage: 3d12 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5, 6) + 4 = 18

Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

Briefly, over his shoulder, "Of course, m'lady."

-----

If an opportunity to attack (↺) arises from one of these enemies, Barad will take it, prioritizing enemies that have already been heavily damaged.

+1 Striking Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
Magical Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9
Critical: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
(If applicable)

Barad turns on light from his Wayfinder and actively looks around for any threats...

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

"Nothing out of the ordinary here. Where to now?"

Otherwise, he keeps ready to defend the party.

Barad will also select a healing scroll and bow a little sheepishly to Frogger when Amarie makes her offer, extending a hand with his scroll as well. "I hate to impose, but given how our last few missions have gone, I would rather you have this than utilize your own resources if my lady or I do something...foolish." He gives Amarie and the raccoon a pointed (if slightly humorous) look.

He will then remain on-guard while the more knowledgeable parties examine things of interest.

Coptidel, the dusty rose aeon stone gives you the ability to cast Shield, the pearly white spindle aeon stone gives you the 1hp per minute healing. Barad has both and loves them dearly :)

- Reassurance: Once during adventure, +1 circumstance bonus to one skill check or one attack roll (use before rolling). (Janira)

GM, quick question. Your post in Gameplay said +1 but the slide says +2. Which one should we go by? Thanks in advance!
