Bharak Slagsun's page

"Look at that haul." Bharak said, as they went over what they had found. "A treasure trove of healing. Whomever can use these, claim them now. These can't be for sale." The horror of what they had encountered was smoothed over by the bounty that was discovered.

Once that was done, Bharak said "Let's head north, aye?"

Stealth to move ahead of the party, going NW: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

On a critical hit from a spine flail, the victim must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save to resist being permanently blinded by the blow.

"I HAVE!" Bharak roared as a blade fell upon the creature. "HAD!" Another blow, hitting as hard as the first. "ENOUGH!" With one final burst of energy, Bharak brought his blade down a third time, breaking through it's hard exterior and into the softness within. HIs face was a mask of anger and disgust at the *thing* before him.

Thanks for heads up

Yay!
Good Hope up

Thanks to literal divine intervention, as facilitated by Elena, Bharak finally broke out of the magically induced paralyzation. While sluggish, more due to the mental trauma of the even than anything else, he still reacted with as much alacrity as he could muster. Blades flashing, he tore into the creature, driven as much by desperation to see it destroyed as by anger for getting into his head.

Paralyzed

Paralyzed. Turn over.

Making 3 saves at once means that very likely to fail one. Luckily paralyzation means new save each round.

Looks like Bharak is copying Axton in this encounter.

K Planes: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Fort vs misfortune: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 (25 hardy)
Will vs horrific: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 (16 hardy)
Will vs confusion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 (27 Hardy)

Paralyization: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

Axton starts to say something about this creature, Bharak started to charge forward to attack the creature, but he doubles over and starts dry heaving.

”Sorry, was somewhere else.” Bharak said as he went towards the double doors west of C1. He gave Axton a friendly nod as he went past.

Not a fitting choice because of this: Belt of Physical Might +2 (Str/Con)? If the belt could be +2 Str/Dex then it would be perfect. +2 HP per level

Funny that Vhane wears this: Belt of physical might +2 (Dex, Con).

So both of them would either need to change their belts or swap them out. But as Ryn just joined and hasn’t rolled any dice yet, I think it would be easier for her to change the belt.

The 7 Shards document? Also Bharak has Greed.

Bharak handed the letter to Elena and Axton, trusting the two of them to be inclined to want to read it. "Welcome." He said, looking at her with an appraising glance. "Doesn't look like ye'll break in the front line." He remarked as a matter of fact. "Good. Let's go then. I'm told that the last scout, my predecessor, died in the line of duty. So be on your guard and we'll watch each other's backs."

”The pass phrase is shut up Axton.” Bharak replied, gently elbowing his comrade in the side. Then, to the newcomer he said ”Welcome. And good timing. I’m Bharak. I handle traps and locks. Ye’ve met Axton. Damn good mage. The lass be Elena. Keeps us all on our feet. And that there with the crossbow is Vhane.” He said this all as he kept moving. ”Fill us in on who ye be as we go, aye?”

Bharak held up a hand balled into a fist. His other gripped his blade. ”Hold.” He hissed. ”Something approaches.”

"Well done." Bharak said. While the group had made it *look* easy, that was only because they got the drop on the demons. He hadn't forgotten how the last..well, apparently not demon...outsider...thing...had gotten in his head. The fact that the were bears had proven to be friendly was a welcome surprise. And a warning for all of them as towards what might happen to them if they let their guard down.

"West." He said, motioning for the others to follow.

Thank you for the doc context. It makes the place much more engaging. Bharak will take 10 on his stealth and perception if allowed

Perception add 2 for stone and 1 for traps: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27
Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35

Nice. Will be good to have another to hold the line

"Aye then." Bharak said. "Let's get this going then. We start off with a hail of spells and crossbow bolts, and then I'll charge in right after."

----

For the surprise round, Bharak will charge the closest foe who is still standing

15-20 Crit range (On a critical hit from a spine flail, the victim must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save to resist being permanently blinded by the blow.)
Charge vs flat footed: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34
Damage: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23
Acid: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Confirm: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35
Crit: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25

Good to know. And I hope that Elena comes back to us. It would be a real shame to lose her.

”Fook.” Bharak said, rejoining the group. ”Four were-bears yonder, two demons over there.” He motioned. ”I recommend taking the demons out first. Fighting the bruisers might take awhile and it would alert their masters. But if we get a drop on the demons we might be able to drop them before they can call for aid.”

"Aye. How strange. People usually seem so happy to see us when we break in." Bharak replied with a deadpan tone of voice.

Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39
Perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33 +1 find traps, +2 involving stone
If the coast is clear and there are no enemies abound, then return too
Disable Device any trap found: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23

With a practiced eye and a careful step, Bharak walked through the hallway, scanning for traps as he went. He then went to the armory doors and cautiously looked inside. Given that they had just avoided a particularly devious trap, he hoped that there would not be another placed too close. The cost alone would make it prohibitive. However, whomever had set it obviously had far too much time on his hands, so the dwarf didn't let his guard down.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31

Holding up a hand to indicate the party should stop, Bharak bent down and squinted at the fountain. ”See that?” He said, pointing at the stonework. ”Glyphs. If I’m right they are hidden among the decorations. Can see how the pattern shifts here…and here. Makes a whole, and when ye stare right at it there’s a pressure behind the eyes.” He pulled out a chisel as he talked. ”Going to try and break it…wish me luck.”

”I don’t know about everyone else.” Bharak said, giving the remains of the demon statue a kick to show his deep displeasure at having his mind violated. ”But I’d like to see what’s behind that door.”

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 9

Perhaps there was a moment of clarity. Perhaps in Bharak's confusion he mistook the demon for an illusionary foe. Regardless, he charged at the outsider, blade in hand. Raising it up high, he swung it down in a wide arc, hitting it squarely in the head.

15-20 Crit range (On a critical hit from a spine flail, the victim must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save to resist being permanently blinded by the blow.)

Rage Hit: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 21 + 2 = 42

Crit: 1d6 + 23 ⇒ (3) + 23 = 26

For blessing of fervor taking +2 hit and AC for this round, as Bharak has to move into contact anyways

I’m happily here

If Bharak could have understood anything Axton was saying then he might have appreciated it. Instead, he just continued his argument with someone that only he could see.

Take it easy. Real life comes first!

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 33
26-50 Does nothing but babble incoherently

Having swung his hammer and missing, Bharak turned around, his eyes still glazed. He babbled incoherently in dwarven, apparently having a heated discussion with someone only he could see.

Likewise how long is Bharak confused? And if not then each round test?

Don’t worry guys. Bharak is a teddy bear in close combat. Him attacking the party is nothing to be concerned about.

Confused!: 1d100 ⇒ 90
Attacks nearest creature (for this purpose, a familiar counts as part of the subject’s self)

”Beware, demons!” Bharak called out upon seeing the statue. A glazed look filled his eyes , as he looked about wildly for the foes which he believed were assailing them.

Hit: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26
Acid: 1d6 ⇒ 1

KnPlanses: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Is it a magical effect? If so that’s +4, making it pass. Will hold off on writing more until I know if he is confused or not

”As good as any.” Bharak nodded to his kinsman. Fully aware that they were losing momentum he hurried down, scouting for traps as he went.

Taking 10 on stealth and perception to keep us moving along

All good, take it easy

”What’s the big deal?” Bharak asked. ”Prophecies happen all the time. Why should this be shocking? Even if most of them are open-ended rubbish.” He was vaguely aware that there used to be a human god. ”Aroden, aye? Didn’t he turn into a girl, Iomodae…?” He really wasn’t very up to date on human deities outside of their names and general spheres of influence. ”Well, something like that?” He added, aware that he was probably butchering it.

0 ranks in knowledge religion and being from a foreign culture be like…

Could have sworn I replied to Axton. Here we go again

”Aye? And it was recently used. The fooker really has been here for that long, out of his fooking mind. It’ll be a mercy what we do to him.” Bharak mused. ”Well. Let’s get to him. We go down.”

Ambush isn’t a melee job. This dwarf has chewed through some encounters but now is the time for others to shine. All he can do in the surprise round is move in

”Right! A good job lads. Light the fookers up again.” The dwarf prepared to move in if any survived the coming onslaught.

Take it easy. Health comes first.

Crit: 8d4 + 80 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 4, 3, 2, 3, 4) + 80 = 99
If it survives the coup de grace, the victim must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save to resist being permanently blinded by the blow
If anyone stops him he will withhold from killing said giant

Room after room they went through, with Bharak leaving it to the learned to piece together what they were seeing. It was only when they came to the sleeping giant that his forte was needed. His blades were enchanted to transform, and he extended them significantly. Without malice, nor remorse, he efficiently sought to ensure that the sleeping giant never woke.

Sorry. eSIM data ran out, can’t see any maps for one more day due to China’s firewall. But as I recall we can head south from here, and as such Bharak will take the group that way unless someone else says otherwise

Elena’s buffs up? If not -5 hit/dmg and no sonic. Readied action: 1d20 + 19 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 19 + 5 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 20 + 5 = 26
Acid: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Sonic: 1d6 ⇒ 4

True to his word Bharak held the line should there be any charge. He was abit too relaxed, though, as he suspected that they’d catch the creatures by surprise. Therefore there was no need to rush.

Bharak froze, and gave a slight nod to the crossbowman for his keen eyesight. If he had walked into an ambush it would have been as humiliating as it would have been dangerous.

”Start blasting them then. I’ll hold the line should they be stupid enough to charge.”

Perceprion: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23

Bharak stepped carefully, on the lookout for any mechanical or magical traps. He was oblivious to the danger he was walking into…

Bharak quietly went about doing so, trusting his comrade’s expertise. Once finished, he led the party south.

Taking 10 on perception and stealth as we go

Str: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Str: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Str: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Str: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

It took a moment, but Bharak was able to slowly break through the ice…

He led the group further to the east, until they came to the doors to the north. These were carefully opened…

East all the way then check north?

Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38
Perception add 1 for traps 2 for stone: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (19) + 22 = 41

For a moment he thought about apologizing for the quick victory, but stopped himself at the foolishness. They were alive and that was what mattered. When it became clear that no foes were coming he lead the group on…

”Whew.” Bharak ran the back of his hand across his brow. ”So much for stealth.” He smiled apologetically. ”Lets push south. See what else is waiting for us.”

The golem staggered forward. While not sentient in any true sense, it was still knocked off balance. Waiting to hear Elena’s voice ringing out, Bharak moved in tune with it. Blow after blow rained down onto the back of the golem’s knees as he sought to force it to the ground.
