Craggark's page

All good by me! Thanks as well.

Hiya! I’ll make use of my Day Job proficiency through The Exchange faction boon that I have. I think I posted the text of it earlier in this thread.

Baby and Mum (and 2yo spitfire) are all well. Thanks for tolerating my on-again off-again shenanigans. Myth, Jamir - it was great to get the band back together!

Edit: I just checked the text of my faction boon: I get a minimum 25gp day job reward regardless of the following roll, but I get the greater of the two:

That Roll (Craft Sculpture): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Thanks again, GM!!!

Craggark watches the antics of the div impassively, waiting for a moment to smack it with his shield if need-be. When Jamir gives his speech to the Sages, the half-orc bellows approval somewhat inappropriately and claps loudly. He then makes off to the bar with Myth, grumbling about not getting Zurnzal’s trade agreement to anyone who will listen.

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

He toasts his colleagues with drinks and a ribald story involving a wood nymph and a blind man. The story is highly explicit.

Craggark pulls out a small pouch as Robyyn announces the presence of the invisible div.

”Where is it? I’ve got some chalk dust!” He looks around wildly.

Craggark swiftly lashes out three times at the enemy caster!

Flurry of Blows, Haste, Bull’s Strength

Melee #1: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 271d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9 CRITICAL THREAT!
Critical Confirm: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 81d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7 Not a critical.
Melee #2: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 121d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8
Melee #3: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 261d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Apologies for running behind. Work has been a rabid bear this week and I’ve just had a chance to catch up on reading. I’m ready to post at present.

Craggark stands at the top of the stone stairs, cold iron cestus and wooden shield held at the ready. At the last moment, he nods briefly to himself and pulls a potion out of his belt pouch and downs it.

Drink potion of bull's strength.

”Hey thanks,” murmurs the half-orc in gratitude at Katswiri’s touch.

”Yeah,” Craggark replies. ”There are some people chanting. You hear it?”

Craggark hefts his shield and straps his cold iron cestus to his wrist.

Craggark shrugs. "I've got no problem with Torch, and this Zurnzal seems a decent fellow. I'm for collaboration."

We're outside. Door is closed. No one has bothered to indicate to us that it was reopened.

"Plus, don't forget these fun things," Craggark says, showing off his wayfinder. "They come in handier than you'd expect."

Craggark follows Jamir and Zurnzal with interest. Once the door closes on them, Craggark pipes up and propositions the half-orc.

Craggark pulls his head out of Obahar's pantry long enough to look the newcomer half-orc up and down critically.

Sense Motive Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

He grunts and goes back to "taking stock of the situation" with a crunchy bite of something.

Train to Boon Town?: 1d20 ⇒ 13
1d4 ⇒ 3

"That kid had a worse night than either Jamir or me," Craggark offers as he eyes the Pharasmin acolyte-cum-prisoner warily. He follows as the group leaves.

Craggark sports a makeshift bandana tied around his forehead and left eye when he appears in the morning. Curiously enough, he seems to be in excellent spirits - smiling blithely at everything and everyone, but notably mute until Jamir hands him the packet of powder.

”By Erastil’s nipple clamps, yes!” Craggark swears. He then shoves the unopened packet in his mouth and sucks down the entire contents of his waterskin before letting out a loud satisfied belch. ”Thanks,” he finishes.

”Yeah,” the half-orc pipes up in support of Jamir, ”what he said!”

He continues to chuckle softly to himself.

”’Headed’....ha!”

Craggark laughs hard at the pun.

”Headed! Ah—hahahah-AH-hahahaha!”

He eventually settles into titters and wiping at his eyes.

"I have a hard enough time with my own memories," the half-orc grunts, declining the offer to experience touching the horns.

”I don’t know what all this has to do with the head of the Sapphire Sages being threatened, but it’s interesting!” Craggark says.

Craggark pokes around.

Appraise Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

"I could use some healing," the half-orc grunts. "Anyone got a wand handy?"

Craggark provides Jamir an immediate +2 to his AC thanks to his Saving Shield feat when the column attacks. If that prevents the attack from hitting, then so be it.

Craggark pulls out a flask of alchemist’s fire and flings it at the guardian, stepping back from the front line as he does so.

Ranged Attack, Alchemist’s Fire: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d6 ⇒ 2 CRITICAL HIT!
Critical Confirm if subject to such: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d6 ⇒ 4

Saving Shield still active for those adjacent to me.

Thanks. Missed that.

GM, did the statue attack me from its current position? In other words, does it appear to have reach? That will affect what Craggark plans to do this round.

Craggark would not think that his fists wouldn’t break against these statues that chipped other weapons.

Craggark is not attacking it. He is 2nd level and just took more than 1/2 his HP in one attack. Also, I’d like to play my character without other people yelling out feats for me to take.

Thanks. I know y’all are trying to be helpful.

I don't think I'll be following that plan, Aroden. I'll be falling back.

Craggark springs into action, brandishing his shield and shouting "Stay near me! I can help shield you!"

30 foot move. Martial Flexibility to gain Saving Shield once more.

Craggark also thanks Katswiri for the timely healing.

”Much obliged to you!”

I am still waiting for the GM to confirm that rolling 2d20 on his last attack on Craggark was a typo. I don’t think you’re healing me, Katswiri.

GM, you rolled 2d20 on your last attack with the red skeleton. Surely that’s a typo? Did the red skeleton actually miss Craggark?

The half-orc shifts his focus to the last remaining skeleton as two of the undead foes crumble beneath his allies’ assault. The brawler brandishes his shield but lashes out with his bare fist and his back leg.

Not activating his boon for now. Flurry of Blows. Saving Shield is still active for anyone adjacent to me.

Flurry of Blows, Inspiring Sword, Bludgeoning #1: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 3 = 81d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Flurry of Blows, Inspiring Sword, Bludgeoning #2: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 3 = 181d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The punch misses, but Craggark’s roundhouse kick slams forcefully into the armoured skeleton with destructive force.

Free action; off-turn

Craggark yells out: "Jamir! Myth! Remember how we fought the undead in that Osirion tomb of horrors! Let's use those tactics to take these bony knobs down!"

I'm reminding Jamir and Myth of their 'Back to the Grave' boon that they got from completing Risen from the Sands. Yes, I forgot about it too until I just spotted it on my character sheet.

Alarmed at his friend’s wounds, Craggark performs a brief kata with his prominent shield.

”Jamir! Stay near me!” the half-orc bellows, taking a sidestep to avoid clogging the hallway.

5 foot step to the right. Move action to use martial flexibility and enact Saving Shield.

He then brings down his ham of a left fist on the skeleton’s head.

Melee Unarmed Strike, Power Attack, Flank (as per Underfoot Assault): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 = 161d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Saving Shield applies to any adjacent allies.

Ultimately, it’s for our GM to decide, right?

Unskilled Knowledge Check (max DC 10): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Craggark hustles forward to Jamir's flank, his shield out. As he passes the elven archer, he calls out:

"If you can fire over me, do it! I'll give you protection!"

Double move.

I think you have to see the thing that you're referencing in order to do a Knowledge check on it, Robyyn. You're not in visual sight of the foes.

Also, I agree with Jamir - initiative at the top of a round is for a reason. It indicates how quickly you react to a threat, either by acting or reasoning about it.

Craggark looks around dully.

"Did...did we win?" he says as the holy water silences the whispers.

"Are we still going to smash them?" he asks of Jamir.

Craggark looks with a furrowed brow at the alcoves.

”Yeah, I’d feel better if we went ahead and make sure these undead skellies aren’t going to try to shank us.”

New baby was born 3 days ago. Mum and new peanut are both doing well. Sleep is coming sparingly; I do appreciate all y'alls patience. I'll get to posts, but I'll simply be slower about it.

Thanks!

Craggark looks very excited at the alchemist's fire.

"I'll take the rest, then!" he says brightly, pocketing the other four flasks.

He smirks back at Jamir. "I barely read Taldane," he laughs.

"Hunh," Craggark says with little insight, "Still, four gemstones ain't too bad."

The half-orc moves past the chest and scopes out the set of stairs at the far end of the room.

Perception Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Craggark didn’t think about stealthily moving. Whatever that thing was that spoke to them when they first got down there knew where they were anyway, he surmised.

”We’ve got a chest!” Craggark calls out at sighting the poorly-preserved trunk. ”Do we have someone better than me at finding the trap that’s laid on it?”

Craggark shudders st the memory of some of the traps and snares he encountered at the Osirion site he had explored with Jamir and Myth.

Craggark moves towards the passage to the west, intent upon the side passage.

GM, what's the light condition like in here? Craggark has darkvision, but I'm wondering for my mind's eye.

Perception Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

"Oooh! I have one of those wands of healing as well." The half-orc takes out a similar wand to Jamir and offers it to Katswiri. "I can't use it at all, but please use it freely for anybody's wounds."

Wand of CLW, 20 charges

"I heard it, too! It didn't seem like she was really talking to me, though..."

Craggark looks a bit confused, but follows behind Myth, his new shield held at the ready.

Craggark steps up to Aroden as he inserts himself into Myth's conversation.

"What's with the secretive conversations between you and Katswiri and Robbyn? It seems like too many secret conversations consecutively would SPOIL the beginnings of a good adventuring party, am I right?"

Two can play at this game, you know.
