Darian D'Tanquil's page

Sad to see it go, but I understand.
I wouldn't want you to overburden yourself and burn out.
Thanks for running it for us as long as you did.

"Thank you, Natulcien. You have refreshed my soul with your kindness."

I've been keeping track of mine.
I'm down 13 currently.

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
"Curse you, you undersized lizard!" Darian exclaims, stepping up again and lunging at the kobold.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Darian winces in pain, and strides forward to confront Churgri with his blade!
"Have at you!"

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Darian, lacking a bludgeoning weapon, tries his best to deal with the skeleton in front of him.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Darian steps forward, and engages the skeleton. He knows that he will fare poorly against such a creature, but he must do his part.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Still here!
And ready to throw down with the best of them.

Still here, just been busy and there doesn't seem to be a good place to Darian to say anything so he's been quiet.

"Prisoner? What type of prisoner is this woman?" Darian asks in Draconic.

Darian continues to attack, wielding his rapier with a florish.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Darian moves to the next group of kobolds and attacks the first one in line.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Going to wait for Yasmin, so I don't get color sprayed again.

Greetings and salutations, M'Lady," Darian introduces himself with a bow after Nat has finished her questioning. "I am Darian D'Tanquil, at your service."

Darian stabs at the next Kobold.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Darian strikes at the first kobold with his rapier.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Darian follows behind Giovanni, ready and eager to prove himself in the next encounter after such a miserable showing in the first one.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
I think I still have some color spray in my eyes!

"I was unaware that you were going to use your magics upon mere rats," Darian replies, blinking his eyes to clear them. "Apologies. I will endevor to allow you to magic away before attempting to engage the enemy."

Darian keeps near to Yasmin to protect her if they come upon any kobolds. His rapier is out and poised for action.

Darian moves up to Natulcien's kobold, his weapon ready.
"I would do as she says," he threatens.

Also ready action to attack it the kobold does not surrender.

Stuck at work where I can't see the map.
Move me forward next to Angus, and ready my rapier.

Darian abandons the two smaller, unconscious wolves to move and attack the larger wolf also.

Move to fit in where I can to attack the large wolf.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Crit Confim: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Darian keeps occupying his wolves attention, again jabbing at the one he wounded before.
[b]"Perhaps a tasteful collar for a cloak? Or maybe an accent on the boots and gloves?" he muses aloud.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

As for Angus getting up and having an AoO, he does not also get tripped again.

Trip: When a prone character stands up and provokes an attack of opportunity, can I use that attack to trip the character again?

No. The attack of opportunity is triggered before the action that triggered it is resolved. In this case, the target is still prone when the attack of opportunity occurs (and you get the normal bonuses when making such an attack). Since the trip combat maneuver does not prevent the target's action, the target then stands up.

Darian attacks his wolf, thrusting his rapier towards the beast.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Darian will ready his weapon, and stand between the wolves and the party.

"I am ready to end this menace," Darian proclaims. "Lead on, Natulcien!"

"I would suppose going to the ranch is the next logical step, so let us be on our way."
Darian also has visions of derring-do and wolf-pelts in his head, although he does ponder the fact that the entire pelt would clash with his current wardrobe. Perhaps just a furred collar would do?

"That sounds like a sound plan, Natulcien," Darian approves. "A bit of forethought might go a long way in this case."

Sorry, RL has hit me a bit the last few days, but I'm back.

Darian thinks over Yasmin's proposal, and nods.
"I'll certainly spare the 300 gold," he comments. "Having two wands for healing means a better chance to survive, right Angus?"

"Pehaps we may get a wand of healing of a more 'normal' form also?" Darian suggests. "That way we are not dependant upon just one person for healing?"

Marching order sounds good to me.

"As long as we are here, we might as well follow this to the end," Darian agrees. "We just have to remember to come back this way to retrieve our burdens, yes?"

"Allow me to deal with that, Yasmin," Darian says, taking the shovel from Yasmin and working to free the body.

"Yes, let us get to the bottom of this most puzzling problem," Darian agrees. "And Angus, you can leave the heavy load of loot here, and we can reclaim it as we leave. That way we do not waste your great strength just for carrying loads, but use it to smite our foes."

Darian again moves to the side, flanking the creature between himself and Angus. Again he tries to score a hit with his rapier.

5' step to -3, -f. I think that is flanking with Angus (or where I think he moved to).
Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Darian takes another step to the side, and continues to attack the creature.

5' step to -2,-F.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Darian also steps forward, holding his rapier ready to attack if the foe come within reach.
5' step to -1,-F, in front of Giovanti.
Attack if it comes within reach: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Darian starts to work his way around the machine, trying to find another weak point to attack.

5' step by the enemy, and attack.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Darian steps up to the side of Angus and pokes at the machine with his rapier, hoping to slip into a gap and break something inside of it.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Darian whips out his rapier and attacks from the other side!
Attack when ready: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 2 = 15 Second +2 is from flank
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Darian moves to the creature's left, trying not to look threatening, keeping his weapons out of his hand and sheathed.

"I've about 18 myself," Darian adds. "So I take it we are withdrawing for the moment, so we can purchase such items? Can someone help me carry Yasmin, and we'll move outside."

"It seems we are at a small impass," Darian comments after the spirit had worked its worst. "I would say we should retreat for now, and return when our companions are whole again."

"Truely? I hadn't noticed, but then I wasn't looking too closely. So what should we do with him?"

"Does anyone have any food we could pass to him?" Darian asks.

Darian has no problem with Giovanni taking his place to check for traps.
"Certainly, Giovanni, you look for those traps. I'd rather not spring any the hard way."

"Would you be able to do doors also, Giovanni? I'll hold your torch while you work."

"Let us proceed with all due caution," Darian comments, following in behind Angus.
"And keep those knives safe, Yasmin. I'm sure they are a key to something or other."

Darian steps foreward to attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

What a miserable roll!

Happy Holidays to all!
