Brom'mash of Taldor's page

We can wrangle folks via PMs when Alex is good to go.

Strongest hobbit ever.

That discrimination sir.

Needs more beefiness!

Not terribly interested in the academics of the whole scenario, Brom simply notes in satisfaction that all the hostile felines are dead.

"If the danger's passed perhaps we should turn our thoughts toward reporting this to the Venture Captain", he comments.

Brom'mash looks toward the gnome. "Unless you think this matter not worth his time"

Brom's level up isn't terribly interesting. He's grabbing Internal Fortitude to be immune to sicken/nausea and Toughness for more hitpoints.

The character I'm more interested in playing is my sorcerer 11.

Well make it up!

I could always use a DM star replay. =)

I'll take a look. The biggest question is what are you interested in running? I don't want to risk overwhelming you or burning you out.

With the danger passed Brom’s fury fades and as his rage goes the weight of his injuries hits him.

The brawny orc leans on the haft of his axe and coughs up a gob of blood.

Well besides slow-tracking folks we should all be 11 or 12th.

What did you have in mind?

10774-4

Mystery Roll!: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Brom growls and clutches his weapon tightly despite the broken bones visible beneath his skin.

I killed the one thing that could reliably hit Pallas.

Will: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22
Fort: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 2 = 23

Brom almost spins in place as he’s brutally pummeled by the giant golem’s iron fists. Despite the massive injuries he’s sustained, the brawny orc keeps on his feet – mostly by will and fury alone.

He roars in defiance and lays into the deadly construct.

Primary: 1d20 + 19 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 19 + 4 + 2 = 45
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 27 + 2 + (4) = 36

Confirming: 1d20 + 19 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 19 + 4 + 2 = 33
Extra Damage: 2d12 + 58 ⇒ (3, 4) + 58 = 65

Well if this doesn't kill it, Brom's got problems.

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Will: 1d20 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 3 = 26

Being blind doesn't sound very fun:

Reroll!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Brom shakes off both spell effects only to be surprised by a stony fist in the face. The brawny orc grits his teeth and swings back with a vengeance.

Luck!

Lunging Primary: 1d20 + 19 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 19 + 4 + 2 = 39
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 27 + 2 + (3) = 35

Iterative: 1d20 + 14 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 14 + 4 + 2 = 34
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 27 + 2 + (6) = 40

Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 19 + 4 + 2 = 39
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 27 + 2 + (1) = 38

Pallas will block two of those.

Last turn's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Brom realizes how badly burned he is just as the cat's claws rake his side. The brawny orcish taldan berserker turns that pain into fury and lays into the vicious feline.

Lunging Primary: 1d20 + 19 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 19 + 4 = 40
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 27 + (1) = 29

Iterative: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 4 = 29
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 27 + (4) = 39

Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 19 + 4 = 40
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 27 + (4) = 43

Brom levels his mighty axe and steps forward. With a roar, he takes three lunging swipes at the nearest feline.

Rage

Lunging Primary: 1d20 + 19 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 19 + 4 = 42
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 27 + (6) = 35

Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 19 + 4 = 25
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 27 + (6) = 38

Curse my lack of Improved Crit!

A lover's spat?! What a twist!

Our opponents plummets 4000 feet after being 'dropped'. I think they are very dead in a paste-like way.

Brom also zips down to check on his companions. Seeing that they are, in fact alive and well, he waits for them to tend their wounded mounts before ascending again.

Brom wheels his mount around and hacks at the dragon.

Vital Strike (inspire and haste): 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 3 = 28
Damage: 2d12 + 27 + 2 ⇒ (8, 2) + 27 + 2 = 39

Brom stares in disbelief as the gnome tumbles through the open air. He guides his mount around for another attack and roars a challenge. "Fight me!"

Vital Strike (inspire and haste): 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 19 + 3 = 41
Damage: 2d12 + 27 + 2 ⇒ (12, 9) + 27 + 2 = 50

Brom puts his heels to his mounts sides and hacks at the surviving giant's flank.

Rage

Vital Strike (inspire and haste): 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 3 = 28
Damage: 2d12 + 27 + 2 ⇒ (2, 12) + 27 + 2 = 43

Brom dutifully follows the professor inside.

Brom nods in understanding and looks to his mistress's gnomish patron. "We should put thought toward meeting this druid."

Brom returns to the helpful scholar for a quest update.

Back to sleep!

Sharing the gnome's sentiment that war is no laughing matter, Brom closes on the prone giant and cleaves into him.

Primary with song, gnome, bless, haste: 1d20 + 19 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 19 + 7 = 37
Damage plus Voice: 2d12 + 27 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 9) + 27 + 2 + (4) = 46

Everything in sight!

Flex: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 33

Easily dodging another fireball, Brom bears down on the other snake-woman.

Primary with luck, song, gnome, bless, haste: 1d20 + 19 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 19 + 9 = 41
Damage plus Voice: 1d12 + 27 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 27 + 4 + (3) = 44
Iterative: 1d20 + 14 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 9 = 43
Damage plus Voice: 1d12 + 27 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 27 + 4 + (3) = 39
Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 19 + 9 = 36
Damage plus Voice: 1d12 + 27 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 27 + 4 + (4) = 40

Confirming: 1d20 + 14 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 9 = 27
Extra Damage: 2d12 + 62 ⇒ (12, 10) + 62 = 84

Despite the disorientation that always came with magical travel, Brom quickly gets his bearings, roars a challenge, and tears into the adjacent enemies.

Luck and Rage

Primary with luck, song, gnome, bless, haste: 1d20 + 19 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 19 + 9 = 40

Flexes (+11): 2d20 ⇒ (5, 11) = 16

Brom avoids the worst of both blasts and steels himself for the teleportation to come.

Brom nods and edges closer to the bard (one of them).

Brom/Davo, Dora/Doge, Shinkeer/Pallas.

That's not bad.

Content with his findings, Brom takes Davo aside.

"These men are talented fighters but not prepared for fighting giants. Use them as you see fit but do not expect their courage to last long against a real threat. The bulk of the fighting will be on us."

Brom puts the men through some drills.

Trying to determine exactly how able-bodied they are.

Brom nods in agreement with the gnomish professor's plan. "A wise course of action."

What are our leads?

Brom disarms the fallen giant and searches her thoroughly. After he's certain she's no longer a threat, he binds her limbs and looks to the party.

"We should mend her wounds and interrogate her."

Brom continues to lay his fury on the mighty giantess.

Primary with luck, song, gnome, invis, and hope: 1d20 + 19 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 19 + 11 = 49
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 27 + 6 = 43
Iterative: 1d20 + 14 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 11 = 37
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 27 + 6 = 34

Yeah, it's in there.

Invisi-Brom grunts and wills away the pain from the giantess's battering. He calls on some hidden reserve of strength and lays into her again.

Luck.

Primary with luck, song, gnome, invis, and hope: 1d20 + 19 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 19 + 11 = 44
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 27 + 6 = 43
Iterative: 1d20 + 14 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 11 = 30
Damage: 1d12 + 27 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 27 + 6 = 34

Hurray!

Dora can ride for cover to negate that!

With the Kelishite providing a distraction, Brom rushes up and lays into the giantess.

Primary with Haste, song, and gnome: 1d20 + 22 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 22 + 3 = 44
Damage: 2d12 + 29 ⇒ (7, 1) + 29 = 37

I'm hoping Shinkeer sucks up the AoO so Brom can move in.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Reflexes(+11): 3d20 ⇒ (6, 7, 9) = 22

Brom twists and dodges before laying into the touchy slimes.

Primary with Haste and song: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40
Damage plus Sonic: 1d12 + 29 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 29 + (1) = 42
Iterative: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36
Damage plus Sonic: 1d12 + 29 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 29 + (2) = 43
Haste: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38
Damage plus Sonic: 1d12 + 29 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 29 + (4) = 45

Noting the slimes advance on the party, especially his mistresses patron, Brom rushes forward to meet the tide.

Haste and song: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 30
Damage plus Sonic: 2d12 + 29 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 9) + 29 + (5) = 47

After deftly stepping aside, Brom hacks the slime to pieces.

Reflecx: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Haste and song: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 34
Damage plus Sonic: 1d12 + 29 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 29 + (4) = 38
Iterative: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

Haste: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23
Damage plus Sonic: 1d12 + 29 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 29 + (5) = 40

Still moving like a blur, Brom slams into the nearest ooze with devastating force.

Vital Strike plus haste and song: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 30
Damage plus Sonic: 2d12 + 29 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 29 + (3) = 38

Brom darts over to punish the same target as his companions.

Vital Strike plus haste and song: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (19) + 22 = 41
Damage plus Sonic: 2d12 + 29 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 29 + (5) = 42
