Brand Boulderstep's page

I put out a notice to see if anyone else is interested in running this.

I would like to continue. Negative levels and all. :)

Chronicles received with thanks.

Now to continue adventure with the Ill fated Brand who's now carrying two negative levels.

GM's dice rolls are ridiculous.
I don't think you rolled less then 10 in this whole battle.
I've being trying to kill off the automaton but it didn't work. Curse you DR. :P

I have more then enough Gold and Prestige to Resurrect fully but at this level I doubt most are able to due to the cost of Body Retrevial.

I also have the options of;
Debt to Society
Race of the Runecarved key.

Currently, I'll choose;
5 pp spent for body recovery.
5450 Gold spent for Raise dead.

and that's it. I already spent

I'll contribute 2000 gold to Aldy's raise dead.

Or I could just say be done with it and Let GM add this to his char Perm death Record.

Thank you for running this GM Mike.

Taking out the Automaton has to be first. Hence why I keep hitting it.

That Automaton has both Ranseur and Slam at the same time?
Awesome. That is one sick mob.
Attack Automaton 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 4 = 221d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Previous turn Reflex save against Automaton1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Current Turn Reflex save against Automaton 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Didn't know that there was an aura I needed to save against. So I rolled.
Judgement Healing. Fast healing 1. Dodge AC +3, Heals 1. Am I even healing lol.
It's being fun guys. Time to dig out a chronicle sheet....

Brand continues using his axe in the hopes of both scoring a hit and defending himself but it may prove incredibly difficult. Deep inside he knows that the odds are greatly against him with the greater number of his party wounded,dead or worse but he had to fight. He couldn't give up.

Brand moves in closer towards the golden automaton as he attempts to break the deadlock!
His axe swings in an arc, mainly to keep that menancing weapon of it away as he seeks his own blow.

Fight Defensively, 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 4 = 71d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Judgement Healing. Fast healing 1. Dodge AC +3, Heals 1.
Oh come on. The dice is really against whatever I do.

Is the map updated yet? I'm not sure if that croc is still there.

I could offer you my reroll for that Stabilization check.

Dun Dun Dun.

Will this be a TPK as the Monsters surround our surviving adventurers?

Stay tune for the Next Roll!!!!?!?!?!?

Great roll of 20 there!

Great. Now I'm surrounded. With Aldy. And I forgot I had this ability......
Attack Croc, defensively 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 4 = 191d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
This summons last too long lol.
Judgement Healing. Fast healing 1. Dodge AC +3

Seeing the croccodile Savage his companions, Brand has not choice but to deal with it first. His axe whips out and hacks into the creature in a defensive pattern to keep those deadly jaws away.

He then calls upon the holy powers bestowed on him to help him heal from his injuries.

We're in worse shape lol.

Attack irritating frog 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 151d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Brand seeing that their situation has gone truly dire slashes at the frog!

He needed to get rid of it....

Frankly not very good odds.

Can't heal and Flint's down so there goes our DPS.
Those mobs are hitting way too hard for us right now.

So if we do make it through.

Shall we RP our Murderhobo tendencies?

Not if we kill the summoner Outright. :p

Welp. I sense a TPK in the works.

Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Dice rolls really aren't favoring us.
That's another roll below a 10.

Brand attempts to pummel the Frog with his weapon.

Perhaps for Aldy, the Covid situation may have gotten worse?

Grab is an ability. It allows one to make a free grapple when the attack hits.

Grappled... well the thing is holding you very tightly. Unpleasantly so.

Such resistance. The master was the right or wrong choice.
So I'm grabbed/grappled. I can't attack the Master now.
Break Grapple 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 <--Yep I'm out of this fight.

Brand is unable to move and straining against the tongue doesn't help and he can't break free.....

Oh great he has a touch attack waiting....

Swim 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Moves and Draw AOO.
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 151d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Seeing that he's gotten the attention of the crab, he must have being threatening to someone then.
He continues moving and braces himself for an impact from the crab as he continues with his chosen target.

Once there, he attempts to hack into the Udine.

Come here spellcaster you....
Will Save vs DC 14, Hardy +2 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16

I offer another 2k to help raise Bree.
I might need the rest of my PP to raise myself...

Another Dead? ouch.
Move up North 20 feet
Total Defence.
Swim 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Will save VS DC15, End turn save with hardy 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16

Brand moves up trying to head to where he thinks the enemy spell caster might be as he wields his axe in a defensive pattern before him.

Using the movement through the water, he tries to wash off whatever is blinding him and succeeds somewhat..

I have a dislike against that caster now. lol
Will, hardy +2 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
End turn roll1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13 wow....
Yes a GM 1 star will grant you a single reroll with a +1 bonus.

Brand curses as his sight is robbed by that one single spell. He blinks to try and get it off but to no avail as he adopts a defensive pose as he waits for the spell to wear off.

Will save vs Glitterdust DC15 , Hardy +2 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16
Barely made it.

Ya know, this water combat is really against us. The CR is definitely high on this one. Haste on an automaton. Really?
clw 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 6) + 2 = 15
Identify Crab, nature 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Identify Automaton, arcana 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Swim 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Brand winces as he uses his wand to heal himself before joining the rest for battle. He then attempts to wade in as well and wallows............... At least he tries not to block his fellow dwarf from making his shot....

Brand nods as well as he pushes up against the water and strides forward, stopping behind the burly warrior.

Moved but stuck due to DT.

Ach. We're swimming again.

"Out of the fire and into the frying pan." Brand mutters as he signals for his companions to halt before explaining to them what he saw.

"One of those crab monster pets." he points.

I honestly vote for falling back.

This whole encounter seems several steps up above waht teh party can handle at the moment.

Underwater combat, Concealment, Stinking Cloud and obviously these monsters aren't going to come out and fight us on dry land.

Also we already had one member falling at this level. Don't want to see another fall as well.

Man Didn't I roll reflex save already before my turn?
Reflex 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Swim 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Attack towards No. 2 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 2 = 241d10 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 2 = 10
Concealment 1d100 ⇒ 95
At this rate, we should just go another way. This encounter is seriously way over what we can handle.

Brand once more attempts to slash more wounds onto his foe as he examines the rest of his companions.
His view was that in a disadvantaged position as they are now, pulling back might be better.

Man they have very debilitating spells here.
Reflex, add +2 if spells or poison. 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 20
Hmm Taking half damage to total hit points again.

Swim 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Brand attempts to follow as well as he dives down.
Spotting what he thinks are his foe, he attempts to slash it.

Attack 2? 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 2 = 191d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Half damage 5.

His gold pouch maybe lighter but as he looks upon his companions, the old dwarf is Proud.

"Which way shall we go?" as he looks upon their trusty scout.

Aldy just needs 8pp for Restoration.
I'll put up front 2k gold for raise dead.

The rest can be split among the rest.
3450 gold that is.

"Every thing helps at this point." Brand acknowledges Flint's help.

He looks to see if their foes would be rushing them as he looks at where he could stymie their approach.

Ranseur is a reach weapon right?

Let's just head back, get Aldy Raised and come back with for revenge after getting a few things....like bombs.

I'll contribute 2000 gold to Aldy's raise dead.

The cost of raise dead is:

16 prestige or
2450 gp + 8 prestige or
5450 gp

Then there is the matter of the two negative levels which will each require a casting of restoration, each costing:

4 prestige or
1280 gp

Prestige can only be spent by the person receiving the spell, but players can pool gold.

If all us of push gold for raise dead, Aldy could cover the restoration himself?

I think we can pool gold for this and then split cost for Aldy between PP and gold.

I propose we split cost for Raise dead first. That seems necessary then we can discuss on Restoration.

Unless We can use Chronicle sheet for this?

Like Debt to Society......
Or I could use another Chronicle sheet I've saved up for.

"I'll cover the rest of you as you go." Brand volunteers.

Why!!!! Can't swim in this mirk...

Brand opts to stay still and holds a defensive position instead. Perhaps He could use his body to shield the others...while they take shots at these undines.

Beneath his breath Brand curses up a storm.

He was wet.
His gear was wet.
His beard was a mess and now?

Apparently more water.
Yes. He was developing a dislike for it.

Swim 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
You know if we last long enough all the water be drained out?
Attack? 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 81d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Apply Penalties as needed.

Brand flails about but still attempts to bring his axe on the Eel.
Try being the operative word.

Swim 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Brand attempts to swim over to lend his aid. Failing that, he allows the water to just pull him in and takes a swipe at the eel as he goes....

Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Swim 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Brand swears under his breath at the sight of more water.

Reflex 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

With the opening of the door, Brand has more reason to curse and swear even more.

Satisfied that the creature was dead, Brand nods to the rest.

"Yes let's go find the other...."

Band reaches out and tries to gives it a few hits for a good measure.

"Got to make sure..."
