Deric Vel's page

I am out as well at this point.

We were doing just fine in a PM. No prior indication of any issues. He was going to move a portion of the module to transfer Deric to another body that would have included benefits. He was going to post for the new Deric until you guys figured it out. I could have posted through PM at that point. With all my complaining, I knew my PC was not going to die. LOL.

So, I am shocked but if it was wearing him down he should not put himself through it. Not sure my discussions posts and his ending it all was a coincidence. But it does look like it may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. For that, I have regret.

Best GM I ever played with.

You are the three favorite players that I have played with. You will be missed and best wishes to you all irl.

The ruling he is following assumes the pc remained unconscious. That is not what happened.

If Deric is healed again this round, would he still be out of air and thus still inevitably dead at the end of this round? Or would his dying track again be reset and buy him another round or two?

He has chosen to deny me a very valid long shot at surviving this. I have never disagreed with Bruno's rules and rulings but on this one I made a very valid argument and it was denied. Until he can convince me otherwise I was denied the best ruling RAW under the circumstances.

Your face will be the last thing I see. Not the worst way to go.

Thanks for the ink, Squint. I know you like to charge so check this out Death from above

I choose to not die, Mr. PC Killer. So reset was not the proper term. How are we to interpret your rulings? Just go with your flow? Yeah, I get it now.

You did rule that the healing "reset" the drowning process. Pretty sure I am at this point in the rules based on that.

Being conscious, but without air I believe this part of the rules apply. I did make a good con check and am currently conscious.

When holding breath runs out:

After this period of time, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check every round in order to continue holding her breath. Each round, the DC increases by 1.

When the character finally fails her Constitution check, she begins to drown. In the first round, she falls unconscious (0 hp). In the following round, she drops to –1 hit points and is dying. In the third round, she drowns.

swim: 1d20 + 10 - 6 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 6 = 9

I had that thought as well after I posted. GM, please send me to the surface if possible. Thanks, Pae.

cmb: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
con: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Give me some cover, Squint. I trust your judgment over mine atm. Gonna try to break free and if not start hauling this guy to the surface.

GM is gonna have to rule on that. RAW I am dead but RAW does not cover an unconscious character reviving during the process. He does have me listed as dying and I will act differently if I feel myself dying. So, that is why I ask.

Is my next turn my last turn?

Why is Kylee not bold?

Deric -44 Dying, Grappled, Underwater 25ft

59-16=43

Anybody seen Galaxy Quest? We need to activate the Omega 13 so I can stop Deric from entering the water..,

LOL, yeah. My plan was to place my bill across the two boats and with weight on both ends, you basically have a catamaran. They are almost impossible to topple.

It is what it is. My bad in big way.

I am at +10 HP.

C'mon man, stop trying to kill me :-)

That thing is only CR5! Really? What is something like that doing in a module for our level PCs? Dead in one round, maybe two. No warning.

That being said, I give you my sincerest apologies for that utterly stupid move. Kylee, I thought I would die saving you, not the reverse.

Is the shard a gamestopper? Squint could probably summon something to retrieve it or the pack. I was going to tell Pae to grab it but that was so fast.

cmb to break grapple: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 +4 = 21

If you attempt to place your foe in a hazardous location, such as in a wall of fire or over a pit, the target receives a free attempt to break your grapple with a +4 bonus.

con: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

And He should get another attempt to escape being placed in danger

Deric needs to make a DC 10 Constitution check.

Deric is conscious now.

He did not make a maintain grapple cmb.

Pretty sure you can only move 1/2 your speed when grappling.

"Thank you friend. Suddenly I feel more stupid that usual. But I have a plan if I can avoid becoming sustenance."

I could pass Deric my short sword

Deric has spears at the ready.

If he is in contact with me his head is within 5 feet for Paes shots. I get the square stuff, but grappling creatures must be in contact and share some space.

he eel ends up getting moved adjacent to Deric (so that one is 10ft deep)

If he has me by the leg he is 5 ft deep, correct. Both cannot be true imo.

strength: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

"Agreed, Pae. Umph."

Deric tries to break free of the jaws and climb back into the boat.

cmb: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Disregard, I see you posted it.

What is the distance from this boat to that boat?

"Helping Barkot out of his armor." Deric winks at Paeral. "Thanks for the cover."

Deric stands and eases into the water while maintaining a grip on the gunnel.

GM, could we update the map with boats and tokens? I would like to attempt to restrain Barkot.

"Interesting. At least I know where you stand, friend"

Deric takes advantage of his alone time with Paeral. "Paeral, do you prefer your women untouched and wholesome or experienced in the art?"

Deric responds to the voice that beckons him. "What a wicked thing to do, to make me feel this way. What a wicked game you play."

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Deric resumes paddling forward.

"Perhaps we should exit this area as quickly as possible. Some things do not deserve study. We are in an area encircled with conjuration Doubting this is good in any way. "

Deric stands at the ready to leave Dodge as quickly as possible.

Deric plows his paddle into the water and begins back strokes bringing the vessel to a halt.

"Your judgment matches mine. I suppose you will captain that boat." Deric points to his least favorite vessel. They appear to be identical in every regard.

Deric grabs a paddle from his favored vessel. He sits and contemplates on what Kylee just told him while examining the workmanship of the wood. He then stands and looks back at her by the door. He says a few things out loud that no one can hear from their distance and then returns to his sit with the paddle.

"Calistria?" Deric does seem surprised. He ponders the terms she mentioned not knowing their meaning, but the context tells him all he needs to know. After a few awkward moments, he says "You have done well to seek out Sarenrae. I am proud of you for that." He looks to the westward waters. "Shall we venture in that direction?"

Deric jerks his head west and then looks back at Kylee. "So obvious." Followed by a chuckle. He holds one of the dry jewels between his vision of it and Kylee seeing it as if it were on a necklace. "Jewelry. I suppose you refrain from than as well as razor blades. Methinks the lady doth think too much of herself. Your lack of a razor began my curiosity of hair growth on elves and half elves. It had nothing to do with you personally. And, I understand many clerics' deities require an oath of celibacy. Does Sarenrae require this? Asking for a friend." In Minecraft.

He ties a scarf around his face to cover his nose and mouth and looks again for a hidden door…

Surely we closed the chests and it eventually airs out.

Deric finishes the cleansing of the stones and says "You seem to have a better sense of direction than me, Dumaren. This is what I recall." Deric uses a spear to draw out maps of the levels as best as he recalls. "I am at a loss. Do you have a sense of what this place is shaped like? What direction might be the best?"

Deric notices Kylee's approach as he is washing the jewels in the water. He continues his work.
