Bishnu Shrestha's page

Ok, it seems that I'm the only one with an issue, so I'll just bow out. See you all later. Have fun.

It's kind of hard for a PbP to make any sense whatsoever if the monsters are on round 4 when the players are still getting around to round 2. The fact that the descriptions of the actions are rather uninformative don't help much as does the lack of a map.

To be quite honest, since I have entered this room I barely had had any idea of what has been going on. I would rather die of a legitimate combat rather that confusion caused by incoherent posts.

So if I understand correctly,. the critter is in the air and flying now? I need to know before I decide an action.

Then I don't see this going well.

5d6 is pretty harsh damage.

He said once we rested, we would be 3rd. Not sure if we rested or not.

one question, is this combat before or after we leveled to 3rd?

Bish will drop the bow, grab the bastard sword, rage and swing it at the snake (which might not be the best idea being metal and all).

power attack

to hit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 miss

"Well yeah, a phased plasma rifle with optronic sights is easier, sure, but this really ain't hard. "

Single shot. (NE corner I guess- there is no map for our room that I can find.)

to hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

"Hmm, this archery thing is pretty easy Veld. I can see why you'd do it. "

"Hey, we're not doing a circular firing squad here joker!" and he will move to the side to not be directly opposite Karn.

"Sure, give me a bow. That might just work. "

I have no problems with you coming back.

"How about I just back away. I really don't want to have to go through taking off the armor, and armoring up again. " and he will back away to the other side of the room.

Bishnu will be taking the bastard sword, the adamantine falcata and the warhammer he as been wielding. Then I think we were going to rest for a spell.

Actually Ghost touch is only a +1 ability offensively. It is a +3 ability on armor/shields.

"Let me get into position in case it manages to get out. " and he will heft the hammer he used before and get in a position to smash anything which leaps clear of the chest.

OK, i know what furious and conductive are, but I'm a bit fuzzy on runic and 'of power' as abilities.

I'll be inclined to take the adamantine falcata and the bastard sword myself and possibly the hammer since it does have furious on it.

1. Falcata
2. falchion
3. scimitar
4. bastard sword
5. greatsword
6. flail
7. earthbreaker
8. falcata

Is it possible to consider fancy special materials on the weapons? (like adamantine for example)

"Just ignore him Avizzi, he likes to be like that. I think it makes up for something he was subjected to as a kid. If you gripe it just encourages him. "

"You got any idea what this hammer does? Well I mean other than being a hammer of course. " and he will proffer it to the crazy robot.

"Thank you captain obvious. Did you notice that your water was wet too?"

"Nag, nag, nag. I heard you with that the last three times. Can we address what we're doing now?"

Bish is down 10 right now (mostly from 'friendly' fire).

"I'm not really feeling so hot right now. Think it might be time for a break? Does this room seem securable?"

"Doesn't anything just go in anything close to a sane fashion in this dump? Did I mention this was not the right place to plan a retirement?"

Ok, just curious.

I generally use the 'level up when it suits the adventure' method myself. Saves me the accounting.

Two things:
A) What was that explosion?
B) Are we going to level anytime soon? us new folks have been at this for six months now in real time, and cleared quite a few encounters)

reflext save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

"What the hells was that?!?"

round 6

HP 10/23

to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 9

That was really gonna miss wasn't it?

round 5
"Damned things just won't go down. "

to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

miss changce: 1d100 ⇒ 80

round 4
"Finally. It went down. What the hell are these things?"

and he will move over to engage the last one.

to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 miss

"Even blown up this damn thing won't go down.

to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 plus any magic

reflex save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

"Oww, what the hell do you mean could have been bad you just blew me up you damned lunatic! You won't live operate day if that happens again. "

Bish will hammer away at his skeleton some more: Since he got hit, raging seems like a good idea.
power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 (add in whatever properties may be present on the hammer).

"Ok, now I'm left wondering what kind of joker decided to program an insane AI. "

Oh yeah forgot the miss chance:

miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 78

Bish hefts the warhammer and uses it to swing at the skeleton that harmed him.

power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

There are plenty of things which look like skeletons but are a bit more to handle.

He will see if he can find a one handed bludgeoning weapon from the rack to use. Then wait for the set up and grab it when things start.

time for edit

"Umm, I guess. You sure those explosives won't leave us as stains on the walls in this enclosed space?"

"Hmm, well if you put it that way, I guess maybe your plan is more prudent. I think shooting down the shaft at them after pulling up a weapon to see if they animate would be the way to go. It's got the quickest payoff for least effort. "

"Uhh, yeah. Right. Bishnu here. All purpose bot eh? Ok, just stay out of the way and don't get broken. This place is a train wreck that we're stuck watching. "

and back to Velden "Yeah, I think we can just break the skeletons before they can do anything and we're golden. Then we can take all the nice toys. "

to Velden"Doesn't that seem like a lot of work for just a couple skeletons? Couldn't we just start smashing them before they move?"

and to the robot
"Umm, right. " and he will move to tap the vial towards the robot with his foot. "This place just gets stranger and stranger. Why didn't I just retire on Betelgeuse?"

Given that we've seen animate skeletons before(iir), do I see a bludgeoning weapon on the rack?

"Yeah, I understand, you get grumpy without your naptime. We'll see about getting you some warm milk and quiet time. "

"Let me get some light on this situation. "

Bish pulls out his electric torch from his pack to illuminate the room (techy version of ever burning torch in my deluxe dungeoneering kit), he then hangs it on his shield and picks the shield back up in case. Then he will move around the room checking it out with Jellena.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

"Geez Velden, what do you think it is? Naptime? You didn't even bring your blankie. Get up and search this room. There might be something interesting in here. "

"Well I guess it's down the hole then. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll land on Velden. " and he will move over and lower himself down the rope.

Bish will head back over to the opening door and try to give them a hand with it.

reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
strength: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"I don't see Velden in here, but he might have fallen down the pit over yonder. "

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

"Hey, something just happened. I don't hear Velden in there anymore. He was hopping around and shooting. Something might have happened to him. "

wisdom: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

and he will move back towards the doorway to see what is up.
