Creepy Carl's page

Wondering how Carl dropped again. I stop at zero hp. Didy healed for 21. Passed the reflex save so only took 16. That would have left Carl at 5. Then everyone is really nice to give me back 76 hp. That is a super top off. Thank you.

Carl stands up, grabs his trident off the floor and tries to stab the demon again.

Inspired Strike: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 16 + 1 = 19
Inspired Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 9

No shield this round so AC 27. I have DR2/Slashing. Glimpse of Redemption on an ally(-9 hp damage & Enfeebled (or Stupefied) 2)

Carl staggers for a moment after the burn of the demon's assault. With a frown he settles his smoldering shield and moves around to the side of the demon. With a quick whistle to get Ambro's attention, Carl makes a simple thrust to the center of mass.

Inspired Strike: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 1 = 26
Inspired Piercing: 2d8 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5, 8) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 20

Raises shield to keep AC 29. I have DR2/Slashing.
Going to use my reaction on the first hit. Either Shield Block (Hardness 10) on myself, or Glimpse of Redemption on an ally(-9 hp damage & Enfeebled (or Stupefied) 2)

That is enough I would like to Shield Block the crit. It will damage. But not break my shiekd.

Carl winces as the flame washes over him. He places his shield between himself ad the others as he steps toward the wizard. I will take the full damage and provoke the demon by moving. Once he gets between the two, he attempts to trip both creatures.

Inspired Staff Sweep: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 17 + 1 + 1 = 22
Raises shield to keep AC 29. I have DR2/Slashing.
Going to use my reaction on the first hit. Either Shield Block (Hardness 10) on myself, or Glimpse of Redemption on an ally(-9 hp damage & Enfeebled (or Stupefied) 2)

As a duly-designated representative of Gozreh, working here in Golarion, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the next convenient parallel dimension. With that Carl readies his shield as he advances on the demon. Once he plants his feet, he attempts to trip the creature.

Trip vs Ref: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 17 + 1 = 35
Raises shield to keep AC 29. I have DR2/Slashing.

edit
Critical Trip Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 if it worked.

May Saints Norris and Mattis watch over us as we are about to enter the field of battle. Looking down at Ambro, Carl smiles as he opens the door. HOUSECLEANING!

Carl nods his head. It has been some time, and bad people are like weeds. Little-by-little they encroach on your patch of tranquility. With you being the closest thing to an expert or guide to the this, can you point us to a small group of desecrators?

Well, it looks like they figured out the secret of the statue also. Unless there is another way down here that we did not find. Carl regrips his weapon as he rotates his shoulders.

sounds good. Not used to no real big time crunch. I know I would like to throw some water from the sanctified pool on it. I thought water and earth were opposite in this edition.

That was a lovely blast! I will fix those spectacles up when we get back to camp.

If no real rush, we will get everyone back to full hp. There is a box in the upper right corner. Is that supposed to be there?

Carl attempts to trip the creature. His weapon get tangled in the mass of legs and falls to the ground. He then raises his shield, as he quickly kneels to retrieve his weapon.

Inspired Trip vs Frightened: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 17 + 1 + 1 = 20
Inspired Strike2 vs Frightened maybe prone: 1d20 + 16 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 16 - 5 + 1 = 30
Inspired Piercing: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 11

Raises shield to keep AC 29. I have DR2/Slashing.
Going to use my reaction on the first hit. Ambro is out of range. Either Shield Block (Hardness 10) on myself, or Glimpse of Redemption on an ally(-9 hp damage & Enfeebled (or Stupefied) 2)

Never Mind. I will have to spend an action to pick up my weapon after I dropped it. I fight one handed, so all set.

I am certain there is something in here that needs repairing. I do have Quick Repair, so should not take too long.

Craft: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 1 = 21

Water should be pure like rain in a place like this. I agree, but it is beyond me.

I like this new size, and it was the perfect time to try that out. Sorry I had to run out before putting it to all the paces. With a nod to Al, Carl slumps in the hallway and starts deep breathing exercises.

Just going to sit here a moment and get my focus back.

Any chance I can be sparkly if I cannot break free? I agree we may have wrapped around more than we can dissolve.

With a grunt, Carl tries to get away.

Athletics: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29 Forgot to add one from song, so 30.

Not even bothering with his shield, he hustles into the hallway. Door! Door!

I think I needed to double move to clear the group. AC 26 from clumsy. I have DR2/Slashing.

Carl quickly raises his shield as he tries to escape the clutches of the creature. Then he attempts to trip the creature.

Raises shield to keep AC 29 (28 from clumsy). I have DR2/Slashing.
Athletics: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 17 + 1 = 29 Escape check
Inspired Trip2: 1d20 + 17 + 1 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 17 + 1 - 5 + 1 = 34
If Inspired Critical Trip Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Going to use my reaction on the first hit. Either Shield Block (Hardness 10) on myself, or Glimpse of Redemption on an ally(-9 hp damage & Enfeebled (or Stupefied) 2)

Edit
Burn Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 3

With the clumsy, Carl AC is now 26. I do think I will need to spend actions to keep shield raised. If only to avoid crits on the first attack.

Carl strides over to Didy and places his hand on his shoulder. Remember, it is not the real thing, just a construct in his likeness.

Lay on hands to give 24 hp. Allies get +2 status to AC. Out of focus points.

He then tries to knock the imposter down with his trident.
Trip vs Ref: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 17 + 1 = 38
Critical Trip Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

No shield this round so AC 27. Glimpse of Redemption on an ally(-9 hp damage & Enfeebled (or Stupefied) 2)

_______________________________________________
It was brought to my attention, that is a HUGE nasty, not Large. Have to make strikes, as a Small creature cannot trip something that size.

Piercing: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14 Doubled for 28

Seeing Didy rush forward, Carl will follow along.

Did not think. Probably the same look I gave Al over using that Blight spell for weed control. We don't know 100% it is a trap, but am guessing. What now?

These walls seem a bit thin. Maybe we can find a section that is not holding up anything and poke a hole and look through. Half hour with a sledge versus half hour getting bandaged up.

Carl grins as the shield is mentioned. Somebody had good taste, and raises the shield he is carrying.

Thank you. Just moving up to the first set of doors we come to.

That was a rough spot. Thank you everyone. It was strange with the flame on the trident. There is a bear friend at the hermitage that is not real happy with open flames. Shall we try these first?

I think they make a toy for small children like this creature. Carl again sets his shield, tries to trip and stabs.

Inspired Trip: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 17 + 1 + 1 = 26
Inspired Strike2: 1d20 + 16 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 16 - 5 + 1 = 28
Inspired Piercing: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 11 Persistent fire if he put it out last round.

We had that super-werewolf that could teleport. Now a super-dinosaur that can plane shift! It ain't cornered, it wants to lash. Just get out of tail reach. Once you get clear, call if you still want me to fall back. With that Carl set his shield, tries to trip and creature and then stabs again.

Inspired Trip: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 1 + 1 = 37
Inspired Strike2: 1d20 + 16 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 16 - 5 + 1 = 28
Inspired Piercing: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 13
Persistent Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 2

If Inspired Critical Trip Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Did I get lucky and crit trip both times?

Raises shield to keep AC 29. I have DR2/Slashing.
Going to use my reaction on the first hit. Either Shield Block (Hardness 10) on myself, or Glimpse of Redemption on an ally(-9 hp damage & Enfeebled (or Stupefied) 2). Shield has taken 5 pts damage

Cool creature. I was under the impression that I do not get reactions until my first activation. Removing Drain will take a 4th lvl Restoration or a night of rest. So be careful.

Carl sets his shield as he attempts to trip this creature.

Inspired Trip: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 17 + 1 + 1 = 38
If Inspired Critical Trip Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

If I can use Dinosaur Lore to ID it is +9 Trained. If not I will stab.

Inspired Strike2: 1d20 + 16 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 16 - 5 + 1 = 25
Inspired Piercing: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 9

Persistent Bleed: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Raises shield to keep AC 29. I have DR2/Slashing.
Going to use my reaction on the first hit. Either Shield Block (Hardness 10) on myself, or Glimpse of Redemption on an ally(-9 hp damage & Enfeebled (or Stupefied) 2)

Carl will move up to the door and wait for everyone to get into position.

I moved Kvothe up with the group

Carl gets a big smile. HOME! Then remembering where he is, he turns to the group. Please allow me to check the next corner.

Using my handy new feat, Breath Control, I want to hold my breath as I go to the other opening. I am more looking for stuff than raising my shiedl.

I am good.

Updated for the Brooch.

Carl will repay the 52 gp he borrowed for the Sturdy Shield. Would like to purchase that +1 light mace before it gets sold. A magic blunt weapon with shove might be needed.

Will purchase Boots of Elvenkind, and will start looking around into Brooch of Shielding. It is uncommon, and a little short to purchase it. But would like to invest a little time into the effort of finding this item. He is left with 10.5 gp.
Can hold off on transferring the striking rune until a downtime day, as it sounds like these are purchases we are making on way back to the action. Does anyone know if the little demon is coming back with us?

We can only do our best with what we have. we may not be able to flood the area with goodness, but we can try to rinse the evil away.

Carl drifts over as Didy looks through the book.  This is more of an act of love,  someone showing piety through deeds.  Perhaps we should give this to the Professor... someone that would see this more for what it is, than as a pile of cash.

From the description, and it fits Didy background really well.  We would probably only get 38 for the book, so like 9 per.  The circus has done enough for Carl, that I don't mind donating it.  

If it looks interesting, maybe we should get someone to copy the stories to a new journal. People get excited and treat them rough. I remember that we had 'reading' copies of certain tomes that had wine stains on them. And the folios with the slyphs...

Carl's eyes widen as he sees the runes on the gauntlet. I believe I can do something with that. Not here and now, but when we have a day to relax.

Carl attempts to stab Blue while he is caught between them. He then attempts to stab again. Lastly he places his hand on Didy. Gozreh watch over you while you cannot watch over yourself. The wind seems to rustle a bit around his ankles.

Inspired Strike vs FF: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 1 = 23
Inspired Piercing: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Inspired Strike2 vs FF: 1d20 + 15 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 15 - 5 + 1 = 14
Inspired Piercing: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Lay of Hands. +18 HP and +2 AC. Helps a bit against the blindness. Edited as the bonus is two, not one.
No Shield so AC 24. Can only Glimpse on the first ally hit. Out of Focus Points.

Not sure why that surprised me. It is almost the same as throwing fireball into melee.

Carl looks back at the prone xulgath as the wave pulses over the group. Then he turns back to Blue, slashing low. He then jabs and sets his shield with a smile.

Inspired Trip: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 1 + 1 = 24
Inspired Strike2 vs maybe FF: 1d20 + 15 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 15 - 5 + 1 = 13
Inspired Piercing: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

Trip, Strike, Raises shield to keep AC 26
Going to use my reaction on the first hit. Either Shield Block (Hardness 10) on myself, or Glimpse of Redemption on an ally(-7 hp damage & Enfeebled (or Stupefied) 2)

Got that Final Destination feel going on. Lol. I would have used my Glimose on Blue, but that not going to save him. And Blue being Enfeebled 2 now does not change things. But I do not have it available for AL. Good luck.

He would be Enfeebled 2 for the second strike. That would make it a miss and save him those extra hp.

Made post on Discord about maybe using Glimpse on that first hit since the door was opened and Carl now has line of effect. It would save Ambro 25 hp.

Carl stabs down at the mage, then jabs again. Then he moves to stand by Ambro. These guys have thick hide. Maybe they are not that nimble. Can we try some electric? As his presence envelopes the group, Didy feels his nerves calm. Aura of Courage reduces frigthened by 1 at my end of turn.

Strike, Strike2, Move. No shield so AC 24. Glimpse on first hit to Al or Ambro. Kvothe and Didy have the hp.

Strike1 vs FF: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Strike2 vs FF: 1d20 + 14 - 5 ⇒ (1) + 14 - 5 = 10
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Edit as I forgot I have a magic trident and inspire is up. Strike 1 should be 21, while the second is only 12. Hopes that maybe the first one is now good on the prone guy.

Carl gets a grin as he sees the spiritual weapon leave the room.  Striding over to the corner, he shuts the door. Ha! Let them try to sustain without line of effect. Could someone move me to corner.  He then attempts to trip the caster.

Inspired Trip: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 1 + 1 = 24

Move, Manipulate, Trip.  Still no shield so AC 24.  I have no line of effect either, so the caster and I can just look at each other.

Carl grimaces at hearing the state of Al. Should be fine. Yell if you need me to come back!

Would my Glimpse have helped Al? The 7 hp saved might not be much, but Enfeebled 2 might help next round.

I got to put some pressure on that caster! Carl looks back at the group, then down at Ambro. You can replace me if you want. Or you can stay and help here. He then strikes out at Blue. Moving to place his back at the wall, he attempts to trip the caster.

Trip, move, trip2

Inspired Trip: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 1 + 1 = 24
Inspired Trip2: 1d20 + 14 + 1 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 14 + 1 - 5 + 1 = 25

Again, no Shield so AC 24. And nobody is within 15' right now, so no Glimpse. So unless someone moves closer to me, I got nothing.

Looks like my damage from the Spiritual Weapon did not show.

Carl lets rip a roar as he rushes into the fray. Getting right next to Blue and Green, he lashes out with his trident. Then he moves back toward the door.

Staff Sweep to Trip: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 1 = 28

Move, Flourish, Move. No shield raises so AC 24. Going to use my reaction on the first hit. Only can use Glimpse of Redemption on an ally(-7 hp damage & Enfeebled (or Stupefied) 2)

Unless Al wants to come up and listen at the door, I will go ahead.

Carl gives a big grin to Ambro. He taps his chest and then pretends to open the door. He then points at Ambro and does a little bunny hop toward the room. He then reaches forward to open the door.

Carl takes a moment to scan the room, making sure we picked up the already identified items of interest. He sets his shield, gives Ambros a nod of encouragement as they step out into the hallway.

Carl closes his eyes for a moment, as if in pain, at the thought of a demon in the circus.

I am sorry to hear that. You are not the first we have come across that has been enslaved like this. We prefer to have things in their proper realm. Do you know how to be released from your service?

   Maybe take the pickles out when you say that.

If I refocused while you medicine Ambro, I can heal myself for 18. That leaves me down 5 while Ambro is down 7. I can go in down 5, if you want to get Ambro back to full. That would take 20 minutes for us.
