Brandark Plainswalker's page

GM, first of all, Mistakes do happen. it is up to us to try to help get them sorted out in a civil fashion.

Reducing your load, I do understand, and I am sorry to see this campaign go.

Wishing that is would carry on, but if that is your decision, that is still your choice.

Game and GM well. :)

Back at the Ranch

Brandark helps keep an eye out on the giants, but does happen to ask the Father for healing, while waiting for Elektra and Stone to return.

I can see 3 issues with the way things are, and I can see why the townfolk have a major worry as well.

Issue 1 - Slavery - Absolutely wrong by modern society, but was acceptable all the way into mid 1800's.
The town does not have any means of dealing with the giants, so them holding them for turn over to Magnimar is valid on their part. Is there malice on the part of the town folk, probably not. do they want to deal with no. Should we push the issue with the town, I say not.

Issue 2 - Indentured Servitude which I saw as an option. - Working off the damage they caused. For all intents and purposes is slavery, just with a different name. The town currently does not have any means of housing, feeding, or guarding any of the giants.

These 2 options, do not play well with the sensibilities of modern society. but they are an issue that we have to deal with.

However, I see that conversion was the choice that won out, but we still have the problem of feeding, and housing them until we can get to Magnimar.

I will weigh in tomorrow with my thoughts on this conundrum. I need 1 more day to get sorted out.

I could use some healing assistance.

Down a ways.

Brandark picks up Isskaz from where he fell. Standards it on Abacus, then tightens up his armour.

He then mounts up to go with the group.

Well, I guess it does boil down to the coin available.

Brandark takes the time to loosen his breastplate and look at the dents.
He then walks around still wincing.

I guess I got a bad set of bruises.

Brandark winces as he opens his eyes.

By the gads, that hurt. If I am looking at you, I guess we won

He takes the proffered hand, and slowly regains his feet, then he starts looking over Abacus to see how badly he got hurt.

I think we need to figure out how to get him to fly all the time

I guess I will just lie here and try to breathe. :)

Round 26.

Stabil: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 DC = ??, Not sure the number don't have my books at work

Abacus turns to look at the Giant that just attacked.

I know it is a moot point, but I forgot the Frost damage. :(

Wincing in pain from the Hard strike, Brandark then looks at the giant in front of him.

My Turn.

attack: 1d20 + 10 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 3 = 40

Stowing his bow, Brandark urges Abacus into a charge as he draws Isskaz.

Base, STR, 1/2 Challenge, Power

Yelling down to the others.

I will go harass until others get there.

With that, Brandark turns abacus gently in the air, and continues to ride south towards the now smoking manor.

A long and technical fight, that we have to try to preserve resources. These make good fights.

Well, in the Province of Alberta, they are few and far between due to the downturn of the oil patch.

Will still look for something else that will cover that off, as the company i work for, has a policy of NO CANNABIS of any form on the site.

I apologize for posting so slow, but had to attend a wedding, and found out that due to a CBD (maruijana perscription) that my job is at risk.

So have a few things on the go, but will continue with this.

Ho Abacus, we should be going south to help with the rest of town.

As he turns Abacus back to the south, Brandark yells to Flynn.

The foul beastie decided to leave headed North East. Let the father know that they can put out the fires.

He then rides Abacus south over the houses to determine if any more giants were in town.

Put it on Abacus.

Brandark will coax Abacus up into the air by having him jump up each bound.

Ho Abacus, Steady, we can do this.

Will travel the full 60' but I can only climb by 30'. So no real difference on my shots.

The listing of the modifiers, helps me as well. I use it to ensure that i didn't forget anything, but also, it shows you where I am getting the numbers from.

Yes, I did count for range, it was the last modifier in my attacks.

Showing that it wasn't just a fluke, Brandark tries again.
All the while yelling Obsenities at the dragon.

attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 17

damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 8
Base, Mighty, Inspire, Haste

Only to not have lead it enough and all arrows miss.
Sigh, my usual luck is back. :(

A mighty shot, lets see if I can provide.

Then at the top of his lungs, he hollers up at the flying lizard.

Hey you overgrown salamander, get down here!!!

He then asks abacus to stand, as he draws his bow back and lets loose.

attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 17

damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 8

Brandark hearing the call to go after the big lizard and that others were cutting people loose, he turns Abacus, and fully spurs to a gallop.

Meet you at the Cathedral, . . . Make a hole . . . Coming Through. . .
is the call as Abacus and Brandark start going at a full gallop towards the Cathedral.

He scabbards his axe, and draws his little used bow while riding at breakneck speed towards the cathedral.

Going with haste, I have a speed of aprox 360' with a x4 run action on Abacus. 50 base, +30 Haste, +10 spurred.

Well, if it wasn't for my crappy dice luck, we would be through these giants a little quicker.

But I am glad that I am finally getting a chance to use my companion for what he is supposed to be.

No worries, you have a lot of things to try to remember, and that some things get missed, it is up to us to remind you.

Brandark rides Abacus next to the Giant that just tried to knock him into the outer wall, and grins.

Our turn you overgrown tub of Lard

Brandark then continues to slice and dice with Isskaz.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 3 = 36

2H STR, Axe, Inspire, Power, frost

Then Abacus still in a bucking and biting frenzy rears back and strikes down with his forehooves in a stomp, then attempts to bite.

Abacus stomp 1: 1d20 + 6 + 6 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 6 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 2 = 20

Base, STR, Inspire, Haste, Power

Round 16

Technically the Giant missed. AC 25 vs giants.

Brandarks armour is 25 vs giant, so yes, they missed. I don't suffer any AC loss on the charge, but i did from the challenge. but they still missed.

Brandark spins around and sees the other giants coming, and yells out the warning of where they are.

ride: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22 DC 16
Well, my boy, lets make this one regret this.

Brandark then starts to slice and dice with Isskaz.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 + 5 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 5 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 3 = 37
BAB, STR, Magic Axe, Inspire, Power, Focus

Then Abacus rears back and strikes down with his forehooves in a stomp, then attempts to bite.

Abacus stomp 1: 1d20 + 6 + 6 + 2 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 6 + 2 - 1 - 2 = 20

STR, Inspire, Challenge, Power

damage 3: 1d6 + 6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 + 4 = 17
STR, Inspire, Challenge, Power

So I guess we have to run him over. Then he won't be misbehaving and being a pain.

Round 14

ride check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35 DC = 19 = Rock Damage

Reeling slightly after being pushed back into the saddle, Brandark leans forward as he and Abacus push forward into the charge.

Bugger brought a rock to an axe fight.
He pitches his voice higher so the giant can hear.
How about you stand and fight you overgrown lump of lard!!!
Challenge 1
He then pushes Abacus for a charge.

Brandark on charge: 1d20 + 10 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 - 3 + 3 = 36

Then Abacus comes in for a stomp.

Cavalier’s Charge (Ex) (APG 33): The cavalier receives a +4 bonus on melee attack rolls on a charge while mounted (instead of the normal +2). In addition, the cavalier does not suffer any penalty to his AC after making a charge attack while mounted.
Banner (Ex) (APG 34): As long as your banner is clearly visible, all allies within 60 feet receive a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against fear and a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls made as part of a charge.
Mounted Challenge (Ex): When ridden by a cavalier, chargers gain half of the bonuses and penalties granted by the cavalier’s challenge class feature. This ability replaces share spells.

The comments and discussion changed my mind about the direction, but we should be able to blitz through these giants quickly enough to redirect to the dragon fairly fast

With the debate, and the solid arguments in favor of the dragon, Brandark starts to ride in that direction only to pause when he sees the giant to the south.

Lets quickly deal with these, on the way to the dragon then.
Faster we are done, the faster we get to that threat.

He then draws out his new axe, and starts to ride in the southern direction towards the only visible giant at the moment.

Splitting the party is one of the cardinal rules of no no . . .

So that is 2 votes for the dragon, and 1 for the giants.

Dragon it is.

My thought was the giants, as the dragon can be kept occupied via summons for a bit.

The giants are in the city, and need to be dealt with.

Lets go deal with the giants. The dragon, will have to wait.

Brandark turns to the south, and starts to ride in the direction of the commotion.

Well Abby, lets make this bear feel very unwelcome.

Brandark stands in the stirrups again, and brings Issakaz down on the bear.

attack 1: 1d20 + 8 + 5 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 5 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 3 = 28

Abacus then joins in the fun by rearing back, and driving both forefeet at the bear, following up with a bite.

STR, Inspire, Power

I am not putting any of the riding skill checks in, as they are auto pass.

In that case, ignore Abacus's attack, and Bear 3 still gets an AOO. But I can get to it, along side Severo.

I moved the Dead marker, unless Dire bear 2 is also down.

Riding abacus over the corpse of the dead bear, Brandark rides by the down townsfolk, and then back at the bear from behind, while it's attention is focused on Stone.
Bear gets 1 AOO

Brandark then stands in the stirrups in order to get a heavy attacking swing in.

attack: 1d20 + 8 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 3 = 21

Abacus then attempts to stomp down on the bear with a solid Hoof Strike.

Issakaz

Brandark breathes and gains succor, as the shadow of the dragon crosses him.

He then drives his axe down at the bear in front of him.

attack: 1d20 + 8 + 5 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 5 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 3 = 26

Abacus then attempst to stomp with a solid Hoof Kick, then spins again for a follow on bite.

Difference is that Abacus, is my companion, and Shadowmist is a Book Stock Warhorse.
Those stats look right for a standard horse, which is why they tend to start dying in droves at higher levels.
The only way that we might be able to get those stats higher, is if Stone were to figure out how to convert him from a standard horse, to a companion

GM, use my stats for suzie on my profile. Those are similar to a book standard heavy horse.
Otherwise, IIRC Shadowmist was found in book 1

Ho Abacus, time for us to send this overgrown tub of lard back to where it came from.

He spurs Abacus into an outright charge at the lead bear in an attempt to get its attention away from the guardsman.

charge: 1d20 + 8 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 - 3 + 3 = 31

Abacus then spins around with a solid Hoof Kick, then spins again for a follow on bite.

I suggest that you don't use those horses in the fight. The only one that I suggest coming into the fight is Abacus.

Brandark looks down at Stone and Laughs.

Reckless is it, well, that recklessness will stand us in good stead.

He then gallops down the road in the direction of Tanners Bridge.

Arriving at the bridge, he looks down at the trouble, and sends Abacus down the trail at the gallop.

Lets see what that bear is about, shall we boy.
He mumbles to Abacus.

Cannot quite make it into combat.

Oops, forgot to add for 4 days

Last night that I am here, was waiting on the others.

Brandark grins at the oversized lump of gristle called a giant as he quickly drops his shield.

Our turn, and you are not going to like it.

Abacus steps into the giant and starts biting and stomping at the giant.

Edit, no worries, I had just seen you record things as bow shots. not realizing that you were using crossbows. That sorts out my confusion, and covers the crits nicely. :)

Just a reminder, Bow Crits are x3 not x2

Round 4

Brandark waits a moment while he downs the potion, and then gets ready to head back into the fray.

Abacus, I guess we got to teach these gristle heads not to mess with us.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9

Ho Abacus, we need to back up now.

Dropping the stuck lance, he calls on Abacus to pull back
He then drops alongside Abacus using him as cover until he gets back to the gate.

Once back at the gate, he pulls out the new axe, and a potion out of his sash.
Lets see how you work for me.
He then wills the medallion for more help.
sid medallion: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Extra HP

Mounted Combat roll: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34 If this roll beats any one of the attacks, it makes that attack miss

Free Actions=Drop Lance, Cover on horse, Use Sidhedron, Swift Action=Pull potion out of sash=move equivalent action draw axe, move action=sit upright in saddle. Interrupt Action=Mounted Combat roll to avoid 1 hit (Takes swift action from next round)

Abacus Actions=Move to gate, get ready to come back into combat

Edit, not that it matters, but I was using my shield last round

I am not sure if it helps, but my allies get a +1 (Morale) on a charge.

Ha Severo, shall we give those oversized lumps of Gristle something else to worry about.

Brandark couches his lance over his shield, and then drives hard for the giant in the roadway.

lance charge: 1d20 + 10 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 4 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 4 - 3 + 3 = 38
BAB, STR, Magic, Song, Cav Charge, Power attack, Furious Focus
damage: 2d8 + 12 + 2 + 4 + 16 ⇒ (3, 5) + 12 + 2 + 4 + 16 = 42All lance damage doubled on a charge
No change in AC

Then Abacus comes in for his own bite on the Giant.
attack: 1d20 + 6 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 - 2 = 17
bite Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 = 12

Waiting on round recap, or can we go from here?

If I can retcon a bit
