Bruce W.'s page

I approve the previous post.

Bruce checks the door north of his location for traps before opening it.

Perception: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 2 + (7) = 26

While waiting for the others to work out Caranthir's situation, Bruce ponders which spell the creature used to escape. Then looks around the room for anything interesting.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 17 + 1d8 ⇒ (15) + 17 + (3) = 35

Take 20: 20 + 14 + 1d8 ⇒ 20 + 14 + (5) = 39

Burning two inspiration to add a d8
Reflex: 1d20 + 11 + 1d8 ⇒ (16) + 11 + (5) = 32

After dodging most of the razor sharp crystal, Bruce studies his prey as he steps in and continues his assault.

Melee: 1d20 + 13 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 5 + 2 = 34
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 5 = 12

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Bruce nimbly hurdles over Jelani's shoulder, landing before the strange creature and attempts to strike this vault keeper.

Melee: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Bruce checks all the doors in the corridor for traps. "So which way do we want to go first?" She asks once she is finished.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (16) + 14 + 2 + (1) = 33

Bruce also uses his Alchemical Allocation with a fly potion to get across water and over to the landing.

"Do we just want to fly or climb over? The only other way I can think of is to go back and try to get over using one of those other branches." Bruce says as he watches the water for movement.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Bruce looks at the different tokens, looking for any differences. "Any ideas how these work? Do we just hold one and touch the tree perhaps?" Bruce says off handedly as he examines the tokens.

Perhaps the branches are in arms reach and we just touch the branch we want to go down?

Bruce steps behind Thistle to get a view into the room, but does not see a way to make his way into the melee.

Bruce hangs back, not wanting to get in Jelani's way when the big guy is raging.

Delay this round.

Bruce waits to see if there is any help he can offer.

Bruce waits for the creatures to funnel out into the main room.

Delay.

Taking note of his friends tactical decisions Bruce falls back to the main room.

Full withdraw.

Bruce chuckles at Jelani's comment and opens the door for the hulking brute if he finds it safe.

"Well who every this vault keeper is it doesn't sound like we can just leave him down here." Bruce says as he moves to the door behind him and looks it over for traps. "That and I'm a bit curious as to what he has in his vault."

Perception: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 2 + (2) = 31

Bruce tries to help Thistle get free by striking the strands.

Aid another: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

"What is the purpose of this emerald crystal that runs all the way up to the surface?" Bruce asks the strange creature.

"While we all have our different reasons. I believe the one we have in common is as Pathfinders? To collect and preserve the knowledge of the past. Think that might be the less confusing way to do it." Bruce says before relaying that in undercommon.

Bruce replies in undercommon as he finishes drinking his extracts.

No extract needed for the undercommon, Bruce speaks it naturally.

Heightened senses +2 to knowledge and perception, Darkvision, Investigative mind (double roll on Appraise, Knowledge, Linguistics or Spellcraft), Heroism +2 on attack rolls, saves and skills. Barkskin +3 Natural Armor

Bruce drinks his heroism extract as he tries to figure out what these things are.

Know stuff: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 2 + (8) = 22

Sorry been under the weather this week. Bruce is fine with the change.

Bruce takes the squid key to the swirling chaos portal and looks for some way the two might interact.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 2 + (8) = 29

Bruce decides to move on and heads for the chaos room.

Double move.

"Ok those were not there before and....that's now missing."

Bruce tries touching the squid key to the red rune to see if anything happens.

Bruce moves back into the room with the runes, checking to see if there is anyway they might interact with the keys.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 2 + (5) = 36

"Wait! What about that funky squid key? Could that lock the chaos portal? If their portal is locked then maybe we could pass?"

"Lots of nice stuff in here. Lets take what we can and head on through." Bruce says as he starts placing things in his bags.

"Well now we know where all the clockwork creatures are coming from." Bruce says as he cautiously crosses the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 2 + (5) = 28 another +2 for traps

"There is also that room with the magical runes. Perhaps one of these keys would help with that?" Bruce suggests.

Bruce focuses his attack on the remaining creature.

Studied strike: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (2, 2, 4, 5) = 21

Sorry been a busy month. Should be better next month when my schedule switches back and I've cleared a few things from my pbp plate.

Bruce picks up the key with the devilish face, but hesitates on picking up the other one. "Anyone else want to carry that one?"

"Sure thing."Bruce says, nodding to Jelani. He steps away from the chaos portal and focuses his efforts on the door.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (14) + 14 + 2 + 2 + (5) = 37

If it looks clear he will open it.

Bruce thanks Fellgrim for the offer, but produces his own Alchemical Allocation and flying potion.

Once on the other side Bruce kneels down next to the portal. "Think this is the sealed bit that guardian was warning us about at the entrance?"

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

"Remind me...not to... rush one of...those again." Bruce manages through labored breaths.

Bruce tries again to break free.

CMB: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Buffs: Heightened senses +2 to knowledge and perception, Darkvision, Investigative mind (double roll on Appraise, Knowledge, Linguistics or Spellcraft), Heroism +2 on attack rolls, saves and skills. Barkskin +3 Natural Armor

Taking the AC buff from ferver to put Bruce at 25 AC.

Not wanting to turn into a fish Bruce focuses his will on resisting this strange creatures magics.

Using inspiration to add to fort save.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 + (6) = 29

He then attempts to escape the creature's grasp.

CMB: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Having studied his enemy Bruce moves in and strikes using the tactical knowledge he had gained.

Melee: 1d20 + 13 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 5 = 15

His over eagerness appears to be his downfall as he swing goes wide.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 = 18

"Not here to break the seal. Can't say the same for that other guy though. Bruce says as he tumbles past the guard.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 16 + 2 = 38

Once he is further inside the room he takes a moment to eye what he is up against.

Know stuff: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 2 + (5) = 20

Want to know about that warped creature and activating studied combat.

Bruce examines the door for traps and if it is safe opens the door.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (17) + 15 + 2 + (2) = 36

Heightened senses +2 to knowledge and perception, Darkvision, Investigative mind (double roll on Appraise, Knowledge, Linguistics or Spellcraft), Heroism +2 on attack rolls, saves and skills. Barkskin +3 Natural Armor.

Taking the +2 to attacks and saves.

Bruce studies his target before hammering and one of it's weaker joints with his adamantine morning star.

Melee: 1d20 + 13 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 5 + 2 = 35
Damage: 1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 5 = 17

Bruce drinks an extract and disappears from view before circling into the room and behind the construct.

Drinking a greater invis extract. Bruce takes no precautions and will provoke if the construct can still see him.

"So you want us to hold still while you hack us to pieces? Just curious, does that often work with protean intrusions?" Bruce asks in a mocking tone.

"Might want to take a few steps back just in case I can't." Bruce says as he start to prepare by drinking his extracts and preparing his tools.

Disable: 1d20 + 28 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 28 + (1) + 2 = 47

Heightened senses +2 to knowledge and perception, Darkvision, Investigative mind (double roll on Appraise, Knowledge, Linguistics or Spellcraft), Heroism +2 on attack rolls, saves and skills. Barkskin +3 Natural Armor

Bruce takes a moment to examine the strange gold wiring.

Know engineering: 1d20 + 11 + 1d8 ⇒ (5) + 11 + (6) = 22

"Just out of curiosity what does this seal look like. I'd hate to mistake it for some sort of trap and disable it accidently."

Sorry things are a bit chaotic between home and work. I'll do my best to finish my level up tonight.
