Black Dhougal's page

Black Dhougal is happy to leave the dungeons beneath Korsova behind. I'm used to dealing with the underground but not vampire hordes, he says with some distaste. The former only threaten to bleed you dry, but they're largely bluster. The latter, though...[/b]

I have to agree, the tie-ins were fun!

Black Dhougal adjusts his position slightly and drops a strategically-placed grease under MechaIleosa. DC 31 Refl

Moved pogs a bit, both for Tully and for Black Dhougal.

Black Dhougal sends off a few more bursts of healing energy.

heal ◈◈◈: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Total of 32 points back to all.

Black Dhougal uses the last remotely potent magic he has left, sending a burst of positive energy emanating from him. Cast heal ◈◈◈, DC 31 basic Fort, gets everyone except Crowley.

healing: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 7, 1, 3) = 16

Literally down to 1st & 2nd level spells (though I can still do heals with those I guess so that's something) and cantrips she can dodge. LOL

Nearly out of options, Black Dhougal moves toward the door and sends an arc of lightning leaping toward the Strigoi.

electricity: 6d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 4, 4, 2) = 15 DC 31 basic Refl

Stride, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Black Dhougal knows he has to keep everyone on their feet if he can, so he moves in and uses his last focus point to send a gout of flame washing over Esme, Nakapan, Sadlark, and the vampire. Cast rejuvenating flames, DC 31 basic Refl for Aliriel.

healing to Esme, Nakapan, Sadlark: 6d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 2) = 15 plus +1 status bonus to Fort saves for 1 minute

Stride, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Black Dhougal waves his staff of greater evocation in a broad swath and an invisible wall springs up, stretching across the opening with the suddenly-mobile body. Cast wall of force as shown on the map.

Cast a Spell ◈◈◈.

DC 36 basic Fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35 Oh, Desna, you fickle and cruel b!tch. LOL

Black Dhougal moves into the room, only to curse at the sight of a fully healed Aliriel. Still, once more into the breach. He casts a spell at the Strigoi. Cast slow, DC 31 Fort.

Stride, Cast a Spell ◈◈.

Nothing else for it but to get things settled, one way or the other.

Moved everyone up by the door (should take one more round, I think). Please check your position before Nak kicks in the door.

Definitely still healing Nakapan, and I think it still makes sense to do the two-action spell due to him being one of our two front-line guys.

Black Dhougal audibly gasps as Nakapan slumps to the floor. Oh no you don't, he says through gritted teeth, using some of his last potent magic to bring the ascetic back from the brink. Cast heal ◈◈, targeting Nakapan.

healing: 5d8 + 40 ⇒ (1, 8, 3, 3, 3) + 40 = 58

He takes a deep breath and moves adjacent to Green. Hoping to set up a flank for someone.

Cast a Spell ◈◈, Stride.

Black Dhougal tries yet another electric arc.

electricity: 6d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2) + 5 = 24 DC 31 basic Refl

He steals a quizzical look at Sadlark, but as the sounds are inscrutable, he quickly returns his attention to the fight, moving into the morass in an effort to present a new target.

The wand of everflowing life kicks out another burst of healing, this time just for Black Dhougal.
healing: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 2, 8, 6) = 21

Black Dhougal looks at the wand and winces, but knows what must be done — he activates the wand again. Cast heal ◈◈◈ via the wand, DC 31 basic Fort, gets the party and the Strigoi.

healing: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 8, 2) = 19

1d20 ⇒ 5
The wand shatters in his hand. With a grimace, he drops the remnants to the floor.

Cast a Spell ◈◈◈, drop as a free action.

Some thirty seconds ago, Black Dhougal had pulled out a wand, which he now remembers is still in his hand. He activates it and sends a sextet of missiles at the Strigoi. Cast heal ◈◈◈ via wand of everflowing life (4th), should get everyone.

healing: 4d8 ⇒ (7, 4, 6, 2) = 19

Cast a Spell ◈◈◈.

poison: 6d8 ⇒ (8, 5, 5, 4, 6, 1) = 29 LOL

Black Dhougal staggers out of the cloud, finally able to see the Strigoi clearly again. He calls down a small bolt of lightning on her.

Black Dhougal sees the cloud form and curses under his breath. He can hear Tully working inside it, though he can't see it; but when the cloud remains in place, he tries himself. Cast guidance, then dispel magic.

Counteract vs DC 36: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 21 + 1 = 31 I VOLUNTEER THIS HERO POINT AS TRIBUTE
Counteract vs DC 36: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 21 + 1 = 25 ...well, that sucks

He is no more successful.

Black Dhougal tries to hold the strigoi in place, a vine covered in sticky sap appears from thin air, flicking from his hand and trying to encircle her. Cast tanglefoot.

Black Dhougal starts as Crowley vanishes. But, without the time to truly ponder it, he hurls a spell at the strigoi, then pulls out a wand. Cast slow, DC 31 Fort.

Black Dhougal immediately uses a level 3 two-action heal spell on Esme.

healing: 3d8 + 24 ⇒ (7, 5, 4) + 24 = 40

Black Dhougal has no real way of slicing the others out, so opts for brute force instead. Cast scorching ray ◈◈.

spell attack vs. Red: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24
fire: 12d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 2, 5, 1, 5, 2, 2, 2, 5, 6) = 40

He then retreats near Sadlark. This is going well...

Verbal and somatic components to Cast a Spell, Stride.

Oh, Lamashtu's left teat! Black Dhougal curses, moving in and placing a fireball so that both Crowley and Esme feel the warmth but not the fire. He doesn't much care if he breaks the contraption — appeared that the Strigoi was fond of it, which seems reason enough to wreck it.

fire: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 1, 2, 5, 6) = 21 DC 31 basic Refl

Stride, verbal & somatic components to Cast a Spell.

Black Dhougal wastes no time in following the mist that is the vampire as it retreats. (Yes, this action will likely provoke.)

Black Dhougal staggers to his feet, a bloody grin on his face. Not quite dead yet, friend, he mumbles, evoking one last spell and hurling it at the Progenitor. Cast searing light (H +3) using two remaining actions.

spell attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35
fire: 11d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 3, 5, 3, 2, 4, 3, 3, 1) = 37 and good: 11d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 4, 2, 4, 4, 3, 5, 1, 3) = 31

Stand ◈, verbal & somatic components to Cast a Spell.

Black Dhougal was indeed wounded 1, becasue he was dying, then lost the dying condition, and then was dying again due to a crit (crit fail, but still a crit). Hence the calculation of Dying 2 to Dying 3.

If you lose the dying condition and do not already have the wounded condition, you become wounded 1. If you already have the wounded condition when you lose the dying condition, your wounded condition value increases by 1. If you gain the dying condition while wounded, increase your dying condition value by your wounded value.

The wounded condition ends if someone successfully restores Hit Points to you with Treat Wounds, or if you are restored to full Hit Points and rest for 10 minutes.

The heal spell doesn't remove the wounded condition.

DC 33 Refl: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23 see, my roll on the searing light wouldn't have been any better!

Black Dhougal collapses to the ground. Now Dying 2 3 due to crit fail.

While I look at this...can anyone see to my wounds?

Tully is up 56 points due to Black Dhougal's three-action heal spells here.

While the stronger folk work on the door, Black Dhougal works on their well being. Cast heal (H+4) ◈◈◈, twice if there is time.

healing: 5d8 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 7, 7) = 31
healing: 5d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 4, 7) = 25

DC 33 Refl: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29

Black Dhougal slumps to the ground after the strigoi's spell. Dying 1, or Dying 2, if the damages happen successively.

Worth it.

DC 33 Refl: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34 success

Black Dhougal knows a wall of force when he sees one...or, well, rather doesn't see one. He opts to take care of it. Cast disintegrate.

just don't roll a 1..: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27
The spell strikes the invisible wall and utterly destroys it!

Black Dhougal then focuses on the living rune, clinging to the stone on which it rests. His bloodline sings in his head, a fiery phoenix flapping its mighty wings in his mind's eye, and he blurs to all who see him for just a moment. Activate Quickened Casting ⟐ to cast shape stone, affecting up to 10 cubic feet stone, forming it into a hollow sphere with the rune on the inside.

Black Dhougal has a hard tome deciding which foe to focus on...so he declines to choose. Cast L6 scorching ray using two actions, one ray for each foe.

spell attack vs. Strigoi: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41 YAAS
fire: 12d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 4, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3, 6, 1, 3, 6) = 43

DC 34 Refl: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28

Black Dhougal follows Esme's lead, casting see invisibility as well, then joins them a step or two back trying to leave room for Nakapan and Crowley. Moved where I think we are on the map, but not anyone who hasn't said they're moving up yet..

Can you dispel something that's alive...? Black Dhougal wonders aloud.

Is the rune in a language anyone understands?

Arcana: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

DC 35 Refl: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37 12 damage, pending

Black Dhougal looks at Sadlark questioningly. I do have some dispelling magic at my disposal. Do you think that would help...?

Black Dhougal moves toward Crowley and their assailant, drawing on his bloodline to send a gout of flame that both heals and burns to wash over the pair. Cast rejuvenating flames, DC 31 Refl. Focus point spent.

healing: 6d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 4) = 14 plus a +1 status bonus to Fort saves for 1 minute
fire: 6d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 3, 2, 1) = 10
