Carr's page

I have 2k gold. I have no boons to use that would assist with this.

Oh I'm dead. Most assuredly. Have barely half what I'd need and not nearly enough gold. So looks like first character death for me.

Immune to crits UNLESS you have ghost touch. Lamentably, my weapon is only +1 and not +2 or I would give it ghost touch.

"Because fleeing would kill me just as surely as fighting!" Carr says, keeping up his defenses. "This thing has sapped my very vitality! Were I to run, it would finish me off."

Carr having not been healed enough to get away, but at least giving him enough to not die this very moment, he takes a defensive action, hoping the wraith will be unable to strike him. Full Defense.

"I'd like to, but I don't think this creature will let me!" My current issue is if I don't keep rage up, I die. If I keep rage up, I have 4 more rounds or so, until I die anyway. If I get healing, I can FURTHER heal myself to not die when rage drops, but am otherwise screwed without a Restoration.

Carr can do nothing, so he will delay at this point, breathing heavily and continuing to rage. "Friends, I am close to death... if that could be averted, it would be appreciated." He's trying to stay strong, but it's quite hard.

Right, but I can't move, due to Lame and such, and then half speed for Acro? A horrible idea.

I have no ranks in Acrobatics. With my many penalties to it, seemed a poor investment.

Ahh, it would be then. I didn't see that because I didn't go look! Then you may reduce my roll by 2. Alas. Alas if that misses.

My martial flexibility lets me get power attack for when I need it.

Carr in his extremely enraged state swings! "You do not get to suck the life force from me all willy-nilly! I AM AN ANGEL!"

Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 + 4 = 18 Power Attack, Rage, Flank. PA and Rage or flank negate on attack.

No big deal. That game is dead. I'll be sending you and Saya sheets once I report it.

So what I should have done... was run for my bleeding life.

Scion of Humanity Count as a human for any effect related to race. Pass as human without using disguise. Took it, otherwise not a valid target for "Enlarge Person".

"I will be in strong need of assistance... this thing is sucking the life from me. I do not feel that perishing here would be gallant or heroic." He tries to keep up a strong face, but is visibly shaken.

Sorry for delay, had post typed up at home but didn't post it.

Carr flies into a rage and tries to strike the creature! He takes the time to focus his fury into one strong attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 +1 weapon.

I got no such message and was running a game for that individual also.

No, it's Tim Allen's character in Galaxy Quest. His catchphrase.

EDIT: Also, just to note this, Mylv-whatever has been absent from the boards for about a month...

Carr remains stoic in the face of adversity. He is of course trembling somewhere only slightly beneath the surface, but confidence and bravado are key in making sure people think you know what you're doing.

We can flank it here!

Never give up, never surrender.

Then I'll take that AoO... and move farther.

I only took a five foot step, not that I'm as worried about 4 negative damage.

Absolutely. Can I reroll that fort save? If so:
Fort: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 3 = 21

Carr doesn't much like being attacked with negative energy. He takes the moment to try and protect himself better.
Concentration: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Carr casts Protection from Evil, granting himself a further +2 to his touch AC and +2 to saves against effects from this creature if it is evil and tries to move slightly into a more advantageous position.

EDIT: Also he tries to figure out what he knows about this creature. Religion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

"I do not find anything of use for them, though someone may want them. They are odd. What of the people trapped?" Carr asks.

Carr examines them, and tries to determine if they are indeed magical. Should detect magic yield negative, he appraises them in a more mundane fashion. Appraise: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Carr strikes out at the skeleton.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

"Oh you think so, do you?" Carr does indeed intend to repay the skeleton in kind.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Unfortunately, his sword thinks otherwise and goes in another direction.

Carr keeps up his wailing on cyan. "I am the greatest, all others are number two or lower! Excepting of course actual deities, their emissaries, and other exceedingly supernatural beings. Also most dragons."

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Minimum again. Ugh.

Carr focuses his body into his right arm, swinging it with immense power.

Move Action to gain Power Attack

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

It's tough when OOC you totally know what's going on, but IC totally don't.

"Even more curious, there appear to be people in these that are not dead. A sort of prolonged rest perhaps? A more benign application of gentle repose? Can they be awoken, or are they in fact dead?" He gets curious and begins looking around the boxes for switches, levers, or other apparatuses.

Carr enters the room and tries to identify the skeletal remains, trying to see if they were humanoid, or of a far different race.

Any Knowledge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 History, Planes, Religion further +5

"Curious. Are these coffins? Upright beds?"

Nah, lost post to downtime yesterday.

Carr enters the room, scanning about for useful information other than the glowy bits. He does look at the glowy bits, but isn't sure they're useful.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

"Indeed, do be careful friend Ting. It would not do well for you to fall twice on my watch. I will advance first!" Carr readies his shield and sword as he advances onward.

"You seem so tough, I would be sure nothing could frighten you, and yet it did! I am disillusioned." He feigns shock, that the dwarfess might actually be humanoid. "La, we are all of us somewhat human. Except perhaps the bird." He smiles at Ting.

"Stupid ghosts. I'll come back with a few gallons of holy water and show them what for." Carr grumbles, and knows he could have destroyed them but technically they may not have done anything wrong so it's a little wrong to send them to final death.

Carr shuts that door and marks with coal, or whatever he might have, a large X on the door. "You lot were rather terrified of that there. I thought you braver than that! Especially you, Brallenera!" He shakes his head at his barbarian mentor's temporary lack of composure.

Carr stays put, and goes back to waiting for things to sneak up on him. Readied attack.

Carr slowly backs out of the room. Withdraw action, can move up to 40 feet with that, though obviously difficult terrain.

Carr sees invisible foes... so to speak, and as such spends time recalling his fighting while blindfolded, or that other time things were invisible. Move action to gain Blind-Fight

He prepares to strike back at anything that strikes him!

Don't see them on the map?

Carr casts a spell of light and places the charge on his belt buckle, that he might be able to see forward without it getting particularly in his eyes, also that he might block it with his shield if need be. "The cold does not bother me so, but there is an eerie quality to this chill. Perhaps the lady Brallenera and I should be in front?"

"A child? My lady, you wound me! I am timeless and immortal, and in fact an angel. Though for you, I could be aught you wished." He winks. "That is for another time, however, as for now we have people to slay, or subdue, or seduce, or... I suppose I could come up with other actions beginning with S, but time waits for no man or angel. Yet."

Carr chuckles. "Friend Ting, I have not turned on my charms! It would hardly do to have our contact enamored with me, it would preclude my participation in the mission!" He grins. "And besides, she must maintain her professional composure, it wouldn't do to betray her obvious feelings for me in such a public setting." Never one to let the facts impede his self-image was Carr.

"I've yet to meet a female thing which wasn't instantly swooning in my presence, so I'm sure this will be remarkably easy!" Carr in a revisionist history states, as there have been several times that this wasn't the case. "No matter, nothing we can't handle. When do we strike?"

"Is there any particular threat they like to employ, that I might better prepare myself for it? I like to have a bit more of a strategy than 'hit it with your sword until it falls down,' though there is no denying the efficacy thus far of that particular stratagem." Carr already doesn't like these people, and is becoming more and more prepared to injure them.

I am so excited because this was the level I stop being a SLOWY SLOWY SLOWPOKE.

"Is there something we should do to prepare ourselves for Numeria? I have not been there previously, and I do not wish to be caught unawares."

You noted my purchases, yes?
