Thanks Worg for running this! I had fun and I appreciate the time you have taken for us!

Regarding Chaine for a moment as the cavalier gets comfortable he grins for a moment as he checks the Umbral dragon steak. "We never retire... It is what my father used to say as well, but even when running his own Lodge he gets called to arms once in a while, only to return with new trophies..." Looking upwards he smiles once more "I think I am going to try out the Phoenix Tournament, time should be right for it and I have heard great stories about it..."

Grinning at Charlie as the battle and the wounds are all taken care off. "It's but a scratch..."

yeah, I saw attack and that just blanked my mind out...

It doesn't seem like 104 damage would have killed Grimaldus outright, so I don't think any retconning is necessary, but I see some mistakes with that Eshimka fight.

1. Martyr's Bargain only delays the damage from spells and SLAs, it doesn't work on physical attacks.

2. An 18 would not have successfully cast CSW defensively as the DC is 15 plus double spell level which would be a DC 21.

They hadn't clicked in the heat of the moment so I didn't bring it up then.

ugh... that should teach me in regards of 6am posting... and actually, I would have been close to dead, or dead the round after!

104 from the regular attacks
12 from the negative energy
116 total damage

total hp 102
Con: 15
Total damage to receive before dead grimaldus: 117

I screwed up, and if you want to have this retconned to have my char killed, I will accept it and write off the prestige for the res.

With the time that's left can we skin it to get access to Umbral Dragon Full-plate! :P :P :P

I wonder how quick that would go with blessing of fervor... how quick can you skin a dragon in 48seconds!

Counting down the seconds till the delayed damage showed up he prepared himsef. When it hit him he nearly doubled over as blood dripped on the floor and from his had. Once the damage was in channels would be sent out to recover himself, combined with the breath of life from Charlie he was back at full health.

Seeing his companions going to town on the dragon he looks at the dragon for a brief moment, wondering if the scales and hide can be used and possibly sold to the Blackrose family as a souvenir before shrugging and yelling "Try to keep it's head intact! I think someone within the society might pay some good money for it!" And with that said he reaches into his backpack, pulls out some beef jerky and starts to munch it while humming the tune Another one bites the dust

Grimaldus gave the party Prayer

seeing i didnt get wand tapped i am at 02/104 hp wise :)

Looking at the creature above them a quick prayer was made granting the party a prayer before looking up at the dragon, wondering if this was a wise action before hoping all goes well.

I am glad Chak went to town on him... it saved me! :D

If you die, I will pay for you to be raised. This is my last adventure before level 12, so I don't really need the money anyways.

I have 28 PP saved up atm, so I am fine with that raise dead down the line, money wise that might be an issue as I am sitting on 2.2k gold :P

if someone can give me 1 tap with a wand to top me up I will be good to go

IN THAT CASE! I SMELL A DRAGON FIGHT! (as long as the dragon is not... overly obsessed with Chaine's.... lance... :P) But seriously: I will defer to Grimaldus on this. I'm good one way or the other.

I won't stand in the front line... but if we do, I will need a channel for 1 round, see how we are with hp... also, any chance we know what type of dragon we are going to be playing hug with?

[dice=Swift Sunder Chaine's Lance]1d20+28

[dice=Swift Sunder Damage]3d6+15+4d6

[dice=Claw VS Thunderhoof]1d20+28
[dice=Damage]3d6+15+4d6
[dice=Claw VS Thunderhoof]1d20+28
[dice=Damage]3d6+15+4d6

Then she would rinse/repeat each round until either dropped or people started dropping.

Anyone who ran away she would focus on with Finger of Death as the first spell before resorting to other options.

Because the Dimension Door happened on Round 1, I wasn't able to get the Haste off.

I will say this... Oh... My... F!@$ing... God...

Glad I dim doored in and took that hit...

If she lasted longer she would have swift sundered Chaine's lance for a tremendous amount of damage.

oh wow... that would be slightly devastating...

Apologies, you have 2 rounds to prepare if you decide to fight the dragon.

If we fight the dragon, we still benefit from 7 rounds of Fervor... Grimaldus will eat the 68hp on round 8... :P just saying :D

I'll be fair this morning when I saw what was going... I had 15 prestige ready to be scrapped for a rez...

I then took a step back and went over things
- the reroll for the Protection, that saved my skin, that put me down to 116, would still take me down, but I would be alive.
- I then noted Martyr's Bargain and was like, my oh shit button! 68hp saved!
- Then the cure serious, not failing my concentration check was like... yup, I live to find another day!

Ehm, depending on the dragon... but ehm... need to wait at least 10 rounds before I get that dreaded 68hp hitting me in the face, so I would prefer... rest...

PS: I only count 68 melee dmg vs. Grimaldus and not 104 as I believe Eshimka's 2nd attack didn't land on Grim's AC 41...

There is A LOT to keep track of and I was using the AC on his character line.

Everything is fine :) Damage was all legit due to that crit! your dice!

I am scared what is about to happen! *Runs for cover*

it is literally that 20 crit that screwed me over, I have no other words for it :( then again... +28... FML I do however now have the +1 from Chaine from Last Wall (and it drops my save addition to +1... Sidenote... early morning posting screwed up my top part, it's 36 AC now

Sweet mother of god! welp... let's see...

Willpower: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
reroll Willpower: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

welp, let's have a bit of a shock on Eshimka (and kill my char off in 11 rounds, because... f!~@ that first crit and her +28...)

The moment Eshimka's might blade seems to land with the confirmed crit a quick incantation is cast, delaying the damage of that strike for 11 rounds, buying the young vindicator some time, looking up to Eshimka, bloodied but still proud and standing before taking a step backwards and casting defensively Cure Serious on himself.

Cast defensive: 1d20 + 11 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 4 = 18
Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 11 ⇒ (8, 7, 2) + 11 = 28

Martyr's Bargain Delaying the 68 points of damage for 11 rounds

Hopefully I didn't forget anything

You have blessing of Fervor up, so you can use movement, extra attack or +2 on attacks ;)

Grinning for a moment he looked at the creature, bowed for a brief moment before reaching to Chak, Ikit and ensuring Thunderhoof was within reach as well before they seemed to blink out of sight and then right in front of Eshimka, looking up to the creature he grinned. "Today is your last day walking on this earth..."

placed Thuderhoof, Chak and Ikit next to Eshimka due to Dim Door, party is on boys!

Would like to know if ppl want to be dim door'ed in for my action

round 9: cast Airwalk (110mins)

Want to cast Airwalk on Silvermane instead? (he gets to retain his land-based speed 80) and you can use my potion of fly (speed 60) instead of Silvermane getting it?

cCan do, not that I really gonna need Fly / Airwalk :D

will do the the following in regards of round 9, 10, 11 and 12

round 9: cast Airwalk (110mins)
round 10: can give someone a shield of faith +3 deflection AC
Round 11: Cast Protection from evil , if no dim door, will cast divine favor on myself, and prot from evil will go in round 12
Round 12: if we dim door in, Blessing of fervor, else swap this with round 11 action

Grimaldus will use 8 rounds to tap him with a CLW wand to get himself back to full health after that, studying a soon to be dead Eshimka And learns that it seems like an overgrown giant...

CLW: 8d8 + 8 ⇒ (5, 2, 8, 7, 5, 4, 7, 7) + 8 = 53

Reeling back from the damage caused to him by the last desperate attack he seemed to stumble for a moment before standing tall once more and calling upon the power of Sarenrae to heal his allies and him, excluding the 2 creatures ofcourse.

Channel Energy: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5, 2, 4, 5) = 22

It's right in the Core rules: supernatural abilities don't provoke. You've managed to get to level 10 that way hmm? I guess it pays to treat it like it's a spell! careful mode for the win! ;)

hey, mistakes can happen! and I might be mistaken at this point (being late and all that) but yeah, still, being careful pays off :P

Grimaldus, FYI: Channel Energy is a Supernatural ability, and therefore doesn't provoke (As a negative energy channeler, this is a very useful thing to know...)

I was always told that it would provoke, interesting to know and keep in mind.

effects active: Magic Circle against evil, Haste

Grimaldus has protection from Evil cast upon himself, so if those creatures are evil, no attacks made against Grimaldus since no attacks made by me yet against the creatures :) and also the laughter will be negated

If not evil...

Seeing the damage output of the 2 creatures he steps 5" back before unleashing a channel of healing, excluding the 2 creatures as he does so, if they have an AoO he will taunt them to take it by not casting it defensively.

Channel: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 1, 6, 4) = 21

If someone could use that burst of healing on Thunderhoof, or keep it prepared for the incomming carnage...

Let's bully these 2 undead...

Seeing the 2 creatures targetting the massive bull next to him the young vindicator grin, placing his hand on the massive flank of Thunderhoof they can be seen to hop, into time and space, appearing ever so often in the path till both of them are next to the Harianago's. "Forgive me for what is about to happen, your lives have been brutal and you should rest in peace, Sarenrae, guide these souls to the afterlife..."

16/16 Dimension hops used, taking Thunderhoof with me to have him cuddle the 2 Harionagos and let him explain why it was a bad idea for the attacks....

I'm still trying to decide what to do. This is a setup where I really could benefit from a few buff before rushing in, but with everyone else rushing in, I'm likely to not get there before the fight is over. Because I have to use a move action to draw most of my scrolls, I can't move and cast in the same round.

Once we get to the main fight I can pull a few tricks and get you into the fight in the blink of an eye, but would need to know in advance so I won't charge in first...

Overall I can see why ppl don't like going to conventions due to the Min/Max'ing. I am not much of a Con-goer myself (something to do with where I live). I do go to enjoy some games, make friends and hook up with old friends. Paizocon and GenCon are still on my to-do list but not that high up I am sacrificing my sanity and free time for now :D And yeah, if I show up at either on of those, and the 1-shot encounters happen, I am pretty sure that I wouldn't be happy and ask said player to tone it down.. spending a few 1000 on a trip like that and have tables ruined isn't in my book of fun.

Some food for thought, and to see if it is possible...

Would Consecrate work on a shield of a Holy Vindicator?

He wanted to give a warning about the special attack from the 2 creatures but Ikit and Thunderhoof bursted into a quick run and were gone before a warning could be given. Turning to his other 3 companions he provided them with the info on what they were and what special attacks they had. With that done a quick incantation was cast on his shield to ward off any evil attacks and then he moved 40" forward

magic circle against evil on the shield

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

Knowledge question: Special attacks?

Will wait with my action once I know the knowledge question

Didn't want to ruin the game thread...

Overall, this speed of killing is unlike I have ever seen, not really complaining as is, but it is crazy... Can see some chars got really worked on to be in the field of good, borderline OP.

However, can see Chaine being in trouble the moment he is unable to charge, it negates his build by alot.

As said, not complaining, just noticing it. Might be cause when I was playing in the Netherlands never had this kind of brutality... not even my semi twinked Aasimar, Oath of Vengeance paladin could put out that kind of damage unless he critted while smiting.

Do you really need a good hope? You already 1-2 shot everything in this scenario. =P

And I haven't even used Blessing of Fervor yet :P

Grimaldus will chill for a moment, throw a channel to the rest of the party to mock the minor negative plane for being unable to harm them. After that he will go play nice with Silvermane and scratch the mighty beast under his chin and removing the negative level due to someone not playing nice.

I will use my restoration, unless someone has a scroll for it

Channel: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 1, 4, 4) = 20

Nice!

I'll definitely use Healing Sacrifice on Silvermane, but I'll wait after the final battle to do so in case the horse gets drained some more, since Restoration dispels all temporary negative levels.

I got you covered on restoring the negative levels

Looking at the killing speed of his companions he takes in the rage of Thunderhoof, moving around the bear, knowing it would provoke him before lashing out at the bear

Attack, cold iron scimitar: 1d20 + 8 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 8 = 34
Damage, cold iron: 1d6 + 1 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 8 = 10
crit confirm
Attack, cold iron scimitar: 1d20 + 8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 8 = 20
Damage, cold iron: 1d6 + 1 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 8 = 14

what invisble giant are you talking about?!

*cackles*

Seeing the giant fade from view he grins for a moment and looks up at Chaine with a mere smile "Go play tag with the giant..." Looking topwards where Chak points he moves forward before letting go a prayer to Saranrae "Oh Merciful one, guide us in defeating those who opose us, and show us those who hide themselves from our sight so that we may vanquish them..." And with that The giant becomes visible to the party as his invisibility is purged.

Purge invisibility is a go!

if the planes knowledge is being relayed, Grimaldus is less then inclined to go, but will go with the party if they decide to go for that

Muttering something about water, rapids, sea sickness and all the evil things in the world he keeps his hand on chak to guide Guidance him into his quest for his navigation certificate!

I am lost at words for this transformation and how our canoe is moving now...
