Darvik Foehammer's page

Darvik just spends it all on hookers and blow.

Darvik was Qadira.

23493-2 and I guess Darvik is now "The Exchange" and Darvik is not going slow.

Sorry, I double checked and quick channel is a move action, not a fast action like I thought. So I'll blow the useless destruction spell next round.

Darvik casts his last destruction: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29 on the creature for 0 damage

And quick channels excluding the Shoggoth.
healing: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 6, 6, 2, 4, 6, 3, 5) = 42

"If you'll stay away from it long enough, I could stick a blade barrier in front of it. It won't work, of course, but it's something I could try. Meanwhile I'm getting out of the room. Lithuan if you need me to be behind you instead of in front of you let me know."

Hey Vars, you gotta update your hit points somewhere I can see them if you want curing.

"Spells aren't doing crap...I think I'm going to have to go mining. Just burrow through this thing like the rock back home."

1, 1, 2, 4, 20 spell penetration. Amazing.

Yep, I threw freedom of movement on Vars and Lithuan as prep for this fight.

Darvik casts Destruction for 160 hit points, or if the monster makes it's fort save of 22, it takes 96 hit points.

spell penetration: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (4) + 25 = 29

And not I'm out of Dweomer's Essence.

I didn't buff that one, that's just with spell penetration and greater spell penetration. But yeah...not so useful.

But I only missed my reflex save by 20...so...I've got that going for me.

Actually, the SR earlier was for Holy Aura.
Antilife Shell SR: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25
Not that it matters.

Just for the amusement factor Reflex save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

I can cure blindness. I can also make the spell not work by saying I don't allow you to damage me, but I"m not going to bother doing that.

Woohoo! Spent one of my rare resources and rolled a 20 making it pointless! hahahahaha

Oh, and obviously 1/2 damage if it makes the reflex save.

will save: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 +2 vs. magic or poison, etc.

Darvik throws Fire Storm for 96 points of damage. DC 23 reflex save or catch on fire.

Spell Penetration: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (20) + 25 = 45

Axiomatic Weapons.

No, I made the mistake of posting what I wanted to do THEN checking the map, only to find out that Duhwoo and Vars were not where I thought. Blade barrier isn't going to work in this situation, so I switched to antilife shell.

Ah, didn't see that Duhwoo was up and attacking it. So if there is no space for the blade barrier as seems likely, then Darvik throws antilife shell.

Darvik throws blade barrier between the party and the creature.
Spell Penetration: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22
*sigh*

Yeah, I was just reference that the last time I rolled spell resistance I also rolled a 1. Regardless of my bonuses that won't help. I'm sure I'll waste my last two charges of dweomer's essence by rolling ones again.

You were too busy watching us throw a billion spells to notice it was time to react.

To a significant degree, I guess it doesn't really matter since I can't roll higher than a 1 on my spell penetration, and all my attack spells are stopped by spell resistance.

I said before that I would use incense of meditation if we rested, however it appears I didn't explicitly state that I'd used it when we rested. Before the spells start getting flung around in this fight, please let me know which way you're going to rule on whether Darvik used it.

Thanks!

I used up the last two Darvik Fighting scrolls, so I won't be getting into combat again.

Summon Monster VII is lame. I should have taken Planar Ally.

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Darvik casts freedom of movement on Lithuan while he's got the scroll out.

"I believe Torag allows me enough lee-way with my spells that I can make the Magic Circle vs. Evil a glob, but it'll be pretty difficult to tell."

Spell Penetration: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21 is what I assume you mean.
Amazing...and again I spend two feats to make this number better and roll a 1, negating the whole point. Amazing.

None of my spells are mind affecting that affect the bad guy.

Darvik casts Barkskin on himself.

Magic Circle vs. Evil

Death Ward on himself

Freedom of Movement on Vars (anybody else need freedom of movement?)

Blessings of Fervor on the party

Aura of Protection (30ft Energy Resistance 10, +3 deflection to AC)

Darvik casts Heart of the Mammoth on Vars "The spell grants a +8 enhancement bonus to Strength and Constitution, immunity to fear, a +4 morale bonus to Will saves, and doubles the critical threat range of all its attacks against creatures of the dragon type (this does not stack with Improved Critical, keen edge, or similar effects)."

Holy Aura "+4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saves. Unlike protection from evil, this benefit applies against all attacks, not just against attacks by evil creatures.

spell resistance 25 against evil spells and spells cast by evil creatures.

Third, the abjuration protects the recipient from possession and mental influence, just as protection from evil does.

Finally, if an evil creature succeeds on a melee attack against a creature warded by a holy aura, the offending attacker is blinded (Fortitude save negates, as blindness/deafness, but against holy aura's save DC)."

Here's a nice spell I was going to try for this last battle. Who wants it?
"The spell grants a +8 enhancement bonus to Strength and Constitution, immunity to fear, a +4 morale bonus to Will saves, and doubles the critical threat range of all its attacks against creatures of the dragon type (this does not stack with Improved Critical, keen edge, or similar effects)."

Before we exit the mansion, Darvik throws Status and endure elements on the party.

I've got my spells reset.

Breathe of life on Lithuan Healing: 4d8 + 16 ⇒ (4, 1, 7, 3) + 16 = 31 and I'll throw in a quick channel More Healing: 10d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 6, 5) = 33 excluding the dragon. And I'll run over and grab ahold of Lithuan, then stand there protecting Lithuan until I get another action.

Also, GM and players, keep in mind that this is what Holy Aura does.
"A brilliant divine radiance surrounds the subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them resistance to spells cast by evil creatures, and causing evil creatures to become blinded when they strike the subjects. This abjuration has four effects.

First, each warded creature gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saves. Unlike protection from evil, this benefit applies against all attacks, not just against attacks by evil creatures.

Second, each warded creature gains spell resistance 25 against evil spells and spells cast by evil creatures.

Third, the abjuration protects the recipient from possession and mental influence, just as protection from evil does.

Finally, if an evil creature succeeds on a melee attack against a creature warded by a holy aura, the offending attacker is blinded (Fortitude save negates, as blindness/deafness, but against holy aura's save DC)."

The DC for that is 25, and if the dragon has SR I'm at +4 to penetrate it. Spell Penetration: 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 4 = 21

Vars remember that you have Freedom of Movement for a total of 160 minutes starting the second round of the chain ring setup fight, so you should still have freedom of movement up.

I cast Communal Delay Poison on the party just before this fight started, so no poison effects happen to anybody in the party. Everybody within 30' of Darvik right now has an additional 10 points of Resist Cold. Everybody within 30' of Darvik also has SR 25 on top of whatever they had before because of Holy Aura and Protection Aura. The minimum amount of time any of those last is 16 rounds.

If Lithuan is still about to die because of the attacks, then Darvik casts reach breathe of life for points of healing: 4d8 + 16 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 6) + 16 = 34.

Darvik makes a reflex.save! So he takes 29 damage after Res cold.

reflex save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Darvik casts blessing of fervor and tells the earth elemental to drop stalagtites out of the ceiling onto the dragon.

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Darvik summons a huge earth elemental and has it gather up the treasure and carry it out while darvik stays over by the entrance.

"I believe it is an obvious trap. Monster or unavoidable stupidity, or just hundreds of points of damage."

Cast air walk on myself and walk over to the edge of the hole and look in, without putting any pressure on the ice.

I knew I'd forgotten something...Holy Aura and Aura of Protection also.

Darvik throws bark skin one round, channel vigor - physical the next, antilife shell the next, delay poison communal on the party the next, invisibility purge the next, shield of faith the next, then true seeing the next. After all that, he throws detect magic. The last round, he gives himself a good long touch of good, then walks carefully up to the treasure and looks around it to see if it is trapped in any way, including that it's removal might cause ice falling, ground falling, structural damage or anything else of the kind. He searches all the way up to the treasure and the 10' around it including floor, ceilings, walls, any other objects in the area.

perception: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (8) + 29 = 37 +2 for stone
spellcraft: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (20) + 29 = 49
arcana: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

"It seems clear this area is unstable and large chunks of ice will fall on us if we disturb the room. Do we have any sort of force wall available?"

Well, I was intending to just search the whole room, but I think I'll die, so I just stand there instead and do a full scan from the entrance.

Detect magic full scan, death watch scan.
perception: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (19) + 21 = 40

Don't try to impose your fascist spelling rules here!

There's just the slightest chance I should stop showing up in cities I don't know looking for places I've never been when it's night, my eyesight sucks and I haven't slept in 36 hours.
