Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Yeah, so Cabe's AC is hot garbage underwater. Because he's flat-footed, his AC is a whopping 13. *SOB*
Cabe, unable to move quickly in the heavy atmosphere of the ocean floor, pulls out his wand and taps himself with it. Thankfully, the eels are too small to be in danger of distracting him while using it.
Casting shield. 17 AC is still pretty good. Not as good as 22, but... /shrug
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cabe clears his throat. "I must also be going, but we should embark soon. Within the next few days, I think. Perhaps the morning of Moonday?"
That is four days from now.
Once a time is settled on, Cabe bows to Lady Alecta and takes his leave.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cabe considers Andakos' question carefully before answering. "Ezren only got a brief visual glimpse. He described humanoids in pale robes. He could see no faces. One had a symbol around their neck. He said he couldn't be sure, but it might have been a death's-head fly."
Glorio and Alecta both return blank stares. Cabe sighs. "That is the symbol of Urgathoa. Pallid Princess. Goddess of undeath." He turns to Andakos. "I shudder to think what this means for the city. If you have allies, as Glorio mentioned, their help would be most welcome. But no more than them, I think. Moving too large a group would get people asking questions, and the last thing we need is a new cause of panic after your hard work settling the city."
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
He nods gratefully to Andakos. "We are not at the Acadamae right now, Viden. You can call me Cabe."
He gestures for Andakos to take a seat, and sits back down himself. "As soon as the king was pronounced dead, Headmaster Ornelos sealed the doors, wisely surmising what would transpire. King Eodred II was not well-liked by the common people, but the Queen even less so. He knew the transitory period would be difficult and tumultuous. He felt the school would be best served by closing its doors until it all blew over. There were... some... who argued that some of the students had nowhere to go if they sealed the school. Toff decided to put the needs of the school itself over the needs of its students."
Cabe clears his throat. "At any rate, the Acadamae should have reopened weeks ago, but the wards remained up. Most of the faculty had remained inside with Toff, so it was something of an ordeal to find one who had left with the rest of the staff. I ended up going to one of the more prominent students, older fellow by the name of Ezren, and requesting his aid. He did his level best to penetrate the wards of the school, but they are many and potent. He had no luck." Cabe's face gets somewhat pale. "He did have luck scrying for the Headmaster, however, albeit for only a moment."
He considers each of the faces in the room before continuing hesitantly. "Before managing to sever the connection, Ezren saw Toff Ornelos bound and bloody, in a tower. He managed an approximate location for the tower about sixty miles northwest of the village of Harse. That was a week ago. Ezren has not been able to scry the headmaster since."
Cabe wrings his hands a moment. "I am no stranger to violence, Viden. Before coming to Korvosa I was a soldier in Brevoy. I saw the Numerian hordes commit heinous acts, and my own superiors do even worse, in the name of winning. Though I have never committed it myself, I am more familiar with the art of torture than I care to admit. From Ezren's description, they were torturing Toff for information. If that is the case, they have likely gotten it by now and disposed of him. We need to find and infiltrate that tower and see what they learned. If Toff is alive, we will rescue him, but at this point it is foolish to hold out hope. Most importantly, we cannot let whoever did this leave with the information they extracted from him. The Acadamae--and particularly its Headmaster--guard secrets for Korvosa that could be deadly if the wrong powers got hold of it."
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Captain Melandrus nods curtly at Andakos. "Viden," he says in a thick Brevoyan accent. "Good to see you well. Apologies for the intrusion, but when Glorio told me of what was occurring at Academae, I thought of your recent work with the Guard and knew you were someone I could trust with this. Before I go on, I need your word you will not speak to anyone outside this room of what I am about to tell you. If certain people learned of this, it could put many lives in danger."
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Whoa, those boons are wild! All looking good! Thanks for running!
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Yeah I'm good hanging out til the end.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
His allies reacting far faster than he could, Cabe relaxes a little. "Huh. Okay. That thing was much less dangerous than it looked."
Instead he strides forward, keeping his blade ready for any sudden incoming enemies.
Cabe will ready an attack to strike at anything that comes within range.
Readied Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6
Please tell me combat is over and save me that embarrassment lol
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
"Agreed." Cabe hustles forward. Seeing danger on the horizon, Cabe launches into a harrying kata with his dueling sword to distract Eshimka.
Using my standard action to try and intervene against Eshimka with a Bluff check.
Bluff vs Eshimka: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Welp. That was awful.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Apologies Ietsuna, I hadn't updated my tagline after my shield spell wore off. My AC is only 16, so that hits. I adjusted my hp accordingly.
Since I readied an action, can I make that attack now? I should have rolled it in my previous post, sorry. I dunno where my head is at.
I will roll two attacks. If I can't take the readied attack, ignore the second attack roll.
Cabe strikes out at his spectral attacker, magically-charged blade humming angrily as it glides gracefully through the air.
Dueling Sword vs Blue: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3
Dueling Sword vs Blue: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cabe draws his blade and steps forward, channeling power into it once more, and prepares to cut down any enemy who gets too close.
Moving + drawing, and a swift action to use Enhance Weapon. Readying an action to attack the first enemy to come into melee range.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Yeah, Cabe is still a little mooshy around the middle. Let's punch some zombies! :D
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Oh heck no. He's not getting my money lol. I will try Praise then.
"Mighty terror of the skies! Surely you wish to rain your vengeance upon the vulgar forces of Eshimka? They clearly do not show you the respect for which you are due!"
Bluff to Praise: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Erm. I doubt that's gonna cut it. Anyone want to aid?
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cabe relaxes to parade rest and cocks his head at the drake. "The hoards of your kind are known to be mighty," he says, "but there is no such thing as too much booty, yes? Surely the wicked servants of Eshimka would have some fine wares to add to your collection."
Knowledge (arcana) to Bribe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
I really hate this dice roller. My dice don't even roll this bad.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cabe stands at full attention, hand on the hilt of his dueling sword, looking as imposing and menacing as possible.
Intimidate Assist: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cabe shakes his head. "I know a few languages. Draconic is not among them. I am not a diplomat, anyway. I didn't use a silver tongue to lead my unit. The average soldier is too surly to respond to it, and my unit was..." He blinks, staring off into the distance. "Well, does not matter. The point is that I would not have been helpful even if I knew the tongue." He scratches the short salt-and-pepper beard growing on his narrow chin. "If none of us speak its language, getting it to leave without violence will likely be impossible. We could shout and wave our arms threateningly, I suppose."
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Dragons are Knowledge (arcana) I think.
Cabe shrugs, unloading his crossbow and stowing it. "I've never spoken to a drake before. Could be interesting."
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
With the path blocked by the two front-liners, Cabe has little choice but to fall back on his crossbow. Wonder if I'm still any good with this thing... He pulls it out, loads a bolt, and waits to see.
Move action to draw, move action to load.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Despite lacking formal training, Cabe hunkers down and tries to stabilize the nearby Kellid.
Untrained Heal: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
With a sigh, Cabe swings around Nyshka to flank with Alecto and tries to bash the man with the hilt of his dueling sword.
Dueling Sword, NL, Flanking: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3 S, Non-lethal
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Moving around the long way to avoid his enemy's blade, Cabe strides again into flanking position and lashes out with the dueling sword.
+2 for Flanking, +1 for Enhance Weapon. C'mon crit city!
Dueling Sword vs Blue: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
Sigh. That might not even be a hit, let alone a crit. At least he went down swinging! :D
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Blood pouring from multiple wounds, a stone-faced Cabe draws his dueling sword AND charges it with power as he strides into a flank with Kato. He cuts down at the archer who just tried to skewer him.
Drawing sword while I move, swift action to enhance the sword, and a stabby-stab.
Dueling Sword: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
That is correct. Hooboy.
Fort Save, DC 13: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Whew!
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Fast Climb: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (17) - 4 = 13
Since it's an easy Climb check, I assume 13 makes it?
With a running start, Cabe puffs heavily and leaps at the incline, scrambling madly to reach the top. He stands above, dirt-caked but victorious.
And unarmed, he reminds himself irritably.
Welp, no weapon until next round lol. This is gonna hurt.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
O jeez. I forgot we'd rested. Ignore me then!
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cabe drags himself out of the water, the cold sending stabbing pain through his joints. He hobbles up to Nyshka, shivering and somewhat bashful, and says, "I hate t-to be a b-bother...but... w-would you mind...?" He jerks his head in the direction of the wand.
Kinda forgot about the damage he took earlier, haha. Down to less than half.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cursing mentally, Cabe makes for the shore. Though he's an adept swimmer himself, he knows there's no way the whole party can swim the rest of the way to the standing stones.
Swim: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Sigh. Perhaps "adept" was a stretch.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
OMG Alecto, you're slaying me over here. XD
Dexterity: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
As the confused directions go back and forth between Alecto and Kato, Cabe struggles to keep up with the rowing.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Hmm. Does anyone else have The Lonely Island's "I'm on a Boat" playing in their heads while this is going on? It seems appropriate. XD
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
The bump jars Cabe out of his reverie, and he glances with mild concern at the small cracks in the canoe, but says nothing, preferring to simply keep rowing.
Dexterity: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
RASSAFRAASSLLDERSKERDERP!
... I think that may be a fail.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Dex to Row: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Noice!
Cabe seems oblivious to Nyshka and Alecto's struggles as he rows almost unconsciously, taking in the beautiful river scenery, lost in thought.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cabe has zilch for Perception, Knowledge (nature), or Survival, so he's best plopped down with a paddle.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Eventually, the magic drains from his blade. He sheathes it, and with a huffy sigh, sits on a nearby log. "The thing I'm having trouble getting used to," he grumps, "is all the cursed walking. My bone spurs are killing me." He snorts, and though his mouth is set in a scowl, his eyes glitter. "Serves me right for never learning to fight from horseback."
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
I'm cool with taking a quick breather.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
I'd say use the tree portals, Dark! Might as well.
Cabe tries to slide between the enemies to flank with Kato...
Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Well I hope that works!
... and lashes out at the foe.
Dueling Sword vs Yellow (flanked): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
I'll roll the attack this time.
Dueling Sword: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11
That... could have been better.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Is that a new Will Save, or is that text just left over from last round?
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
If I have this right, you can either
1. use it (and it loses the boost) then pass it, or
2. boost it (but you can't use it) then pass it?
If that's the case, can it have two boosts on it? If not, we may as well use it then pass it. The +1 to attack rolls sounds good to me.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Oh, right! The purple thing, correct? The teleport thing given to us by the faces... Is that any tree to any other tree in 60ft (or 120ft with the Kn: Nature check)? Or do they have to be specific trees?
Anyone with Knowledge (nature) want to try the check and activate the ability? We can keep these things busy for a round, I think.
Cabe mutters the incantation on the scroll, and an invisible disc of force springs to life in front of him. He moves downward into a flanking position with Kato, dueling sword charged and at the ready.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Okay. Not terrible.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cabe strides forward toward the front, drawing his blade and his final scroll as he goes.
"Never fought blighted creatures. Anything we should know going in?"
He channels arcane energy down the blade, eyeing the creatures ahead cautiously.
Okay. Taking a double move. So far as I'm aware, you can combine an action to draw an item with each move action. If that's true, then Cabe is in the right place. If not, he will use the second move action to draw the scroll and I'll move him back 25 feet (moved 55 ft total).
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Cabe hurries in and tries to duck past the ettercap and get into a flanking position.
Double move at full speed, so a tough Acrobatics check.
Acrobatics vs CMD+10: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Blade drawn, Cabe dashes in to give aid.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
Sword in hand, Cabe scans the treeline for danger.
Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Yep. That's a cow, alright.
Male Human Magus (Kensai) 2
AHAHA! Dopey dwarf. Figures. XD
Untrained Appraise: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Cabe makes a face. "I've heard of this guy. A little too in love with explosions for my taste. Always scratching gunk off his nose. Disgusting."
He studies the effects but can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
