Desmond Vilks's page

Great game as always, GM Tiger!

"Stop this!" Desmond closes on one of the intruders, trying to block his attacks on Ghardak by interposing his own arms and elbows and shield.

Flurry vs Blue (anthem): 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 1 = 20
Nonlethal Damage (anthem): 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Flurry vs Blue (anthem): 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 - 4 = 11
Nonlethal Damage (anthem): 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10

◆ Step
◆ Flurry
◆ Raise Shield

Desmond knocks the blow aside with his shield and is about to say something to the leader when he sees Ghardak surrounded. "Hey, I don't think that's fair!" The half-orc moves to pull Red away from Ghardak, though he ends up ripping at his arms and neck.

Flurry vs Red, OG (anthem): 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 1 = 16
Nonlethal Damage (backstabber, anthem): 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6

Flurry vs Red, OG (anthem): 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 1 - 4 = 17
Nonlethal Damage (backstabber, anthem): 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9

◆ Move
◆ Flurry
◆ Raise Shield

Desmond moves in to establish a beachhead for the others to follow. He lowers into a more battle ready stance and raises his shield for protection. "Come on, you know you're beat. The Pathfinders have captured several of your mates!"

◆ Move
◆ Wolf Stance
◆ Raise Shield

Desmond begins looking at Ghardak's wounds, but then the dwarf shrugs him off to open the door. The half-orc sighs and repacks his medical bag before saying, "I guess you'll live a little longer."

Don't mind him. He's turning into a grump.

Desmond races to cut off the blue intruder. "Not so fast! You're not getting away!" He shoves the man back towards the others, raising his shield in case he retaliates.

Shove: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

◆ Move
◆ Shove (Desmond will follow)
◆ Raise Shield

Desmond will Shield Block if hit, but it's not a crit.

Congratulations! GMing live is probably very different.

Desmond drops into a lower stance and then move to keep one of the intruders from flanking the group. He raises his shield anticipating the attack.

◆ Wolf Stance
◆ Move
◆ Raise Shield (+2AC)

@Ghardak, did you LoH on Desmond?

Warfare Lore (DC16): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Desmond will hand one of the healing potions to Quin and take the last one for himself should he need to get to someone. While he trusted his own work more, he can't deny that magical potions work more reliably.

Ghardak, could you have LoH on Desmond in during the last 10 minutes? That would get him close to full.

Desmond lets the Pathfinders appeal to the intruders.

That should just leave Desmond as hurt. Does Ghardak have Lay on Hands?

Desmond has Ward Medic. He can Treat Wounds on two people every 10 minutes.

Reflex Save (DC18): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Desmond takes the brunt of the shadowy breath, but breathes a sigh of relief once the others take it down. He begins looking at the party's wounds, starting with Ghardak and Quinthalas.

Treat Wounds (DC20): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Healing to Ghardak and Quin: 2d8 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (4, 5) + 10 + 5 = 24

Desmond will Shield Block that last attack. 5 Hardness, so 5 to him and the shield.

Desmond manages to block the tail attack, though it drives the shield into his side. He spins away to help pull the one off Ghardak.

Flurry vs Green, OG: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Damage (backstabber): 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

Flurry vs Green, OG: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 11 - 4 = 21
Damage (backstabber): 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

◆ Mpve
◆ Flurry
◆ Raise Shield

Did Blue not move? Is he going to be hit by the pillar again?

Reflex Save (DC18): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

"They don't like the fire!" Desmond yells. He darts through the creatures and then tries to shove one of them farther into the track area before raising his shield up again.

Shove vs White Fort DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

◆ Move
◆ Shove White (if successful, he'll follow)
◆ Raise Shield

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Desmond smirks at the tiny creature getting roasted by the fire and quickly brings up the shield to help him avoid the worse of the cold.

Desmond winces at the tail smack, but then uses his shield to push the tiny creature towards the pillar track. Then he moves to the opposite corner and raises his shield again.

Reposition: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 Oh come on, it'll be fun!
Hero Point: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

◆ Reposition (move the tiny creature to the star marker)
◆ Move
◆ Raise Shield

Might not actually matter given the geometry, but what was the direction of travel of the pillar? Can we get an arrow on the red path?

"I shouldn't have to tell you to stay away from the flames. Burns are very painful." Desmond drops into a ready stance and then darts out for one of the alcoves to hopefully stay safe. He raises his shield to try and contain the heat.

◆ Wolf Stance
◆ Move
◆ Raise Shield

Desmond moves up, hefting his shield, but also preparing if there are other challenges more than a pillar.

◆ Wolf Stance
◆ Move
◆ Raise Shield

Desmond insists on taking a look at Ghardak wound, even as the dwarf indicates that his spindle stone will heal him. "I don't trust those things completely. What if your nose was broken and it made it heal back crooked!" He leans down closer. "Besides, if they don't see me tending to you, they could just cancel my contract."

He wraps his own cuts after tending to Ghardak.

Treat Wounds (DC20): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Healing: 4d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 6) + 10 = 22
Heal Ghardak and Desmond to full

Afterwards, he repacks his backpack and then nods to the others. "Ok, I'll be right behind you."

Desmond goes pales as White is cut down just as he pulls away from him. He turns and tries to grab Green to keep him from running, but loses his balance and falls. The medic stands back up and raises his shield to avoid further embarrassment.

Grapple vs Green Fort DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 *facepalm*
Green can choose to reverse the grapple or have Desmond fall prone.

◆ Grapple
◆ Stand (or Escape)
◆ Raise Shield

I think Desmond should be at 46/52, unless that hit was way worse.

"Hey, I stopped them from running!" the medic says, as he gets stabbed.

Desmond realizes that there are stairs on the other side and he turns to dash after the figure in white. He circles him and then grabs him to keep him from moving. "Gotcha!"

He spots the others two trying to move along the wall and kicks out mostly trying to impede their movement.

Grapple vs White Fort DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Flurry vs Green (anthem): 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 1 - 4 = 15
NonLethal Damage (anthem): 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Flurry vs Green (anthem): 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 8 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 1 - 8 = 16
NonLethal Damage (anthem): 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

◆ Move
◆ Grapple White
◆ Flurry vs Green

Oooooh, those stairs.

Desmond drops his stance a bit, preparing to dart to anyone in need. Seeing one of the intruders try to move towards the staircase, he goes to block some of the path, raising his shield.

◆ Wolf Stance
◆ Move
◆ Raise Shield

Just waiting for:

Macros - Desmond Viiks
Slides - Desmond Viiks, Quinthalas

Done!

Quin, the slides are the map, not the spreadsheet

A half-orc sits in the corner with an overstuffed backpack watching the scene. He watches the android leave and then looks over to Quin and Jhiang. "Fair enough. I'm not sure my medical knowledge would have helped with her wounds."

"My name's Desmond. I'm a medic. Been asked to tag along to help keep you all alive. But it's your show." True to his word, you don't see a weapon or armor on the man, just that overstuffed backpack, some heavy boots, and a slightly battered steel shield. He looks up, remembering something. "Any medical allergies I should know about? Bee stings? Any current medicines?"

Checking in. I'll be using a replay for this.

Desmond is a 'medic'. I tend to play him more into positioning and covering for those who are hurt, and reflavor his strikes as pushes or something suitable non-lethal.

Also, he's got you covered in out of combat healing.

So Desmond can't play given that he has already played 4-10. If there was a way for him to play for no credit, I would do that

Barring that, I will bow out so someone else can join.

Either way, thanks for the great game, everyone!

Edit: Is 66.4gp correct? Way higher than previous chronicles I've gotten, but Des is now 4th level.

Desmond checks on each of the enemies to ensure they won't die, before he begins tending to the others. "They may be able to tell us more about who wants to steal the skull."

Treat wounds with continual recovery and ward medic. Easy enough to heal everyone.

With Shae down, Desmond goes to check on Takumi. He bandages quickly the man's wound too quickly, though and doesn't tie it securely. He presses on to help the others surround the last guard, raising his shield for protection.

Battle Medicine (DC20): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Healing: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 2) + 10 = 14

◆ Doctor's Visitation to Takumi
◆ Move
◆ Raise Shield (AC24)

Desmond will Shield Block if hit

Desmond races after Shae, circling around him to cut him off. He kicks out at Shae's knee, trying to bring him down and then in a flash of inspiration, hurls Alyreha's skull at his head.

Trip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 4 = 24
Damage?: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

◆ Move
◆ Trip
◆ Ranged Attack

Just having a bit of RP fun if Shae's that low. Easy enough to have done a real attack.

Desmond whirls, kicking out Shae's legs from under him with a little magical help from Alyreha. Then he flails a bit as he shouts, "You can't have her!" Finally, he is able to bring his shield around to help protect him and the skull.

Trip vs Reflex DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
True Target vs Reflex DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Flurry: 1d20 + 11 - 8 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 8 = 5
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

◆ Trip Shae
◆ Flurry
◆ Raise Shield (AC24)

Desmond will Shield block if hit (hardness 5)

Moved Shinju into flanking for its turn, then moved Desmond away on his turn.

I forgot MAP applies on the second flurry attack. It should be at -4, so a 20 total for that second strike.

Desmond will delay until after Eddie, Takumi and Shinju so they can use him as flanking if needed (aka, just to the end of this initiative block). But I'll post his turn now.

Desmond crouches into a lower stance and slaps at the Blue's limbs as he tries to take Alyreha. Then he leaps away from the assailants to get the skull away.

Flurry vs Blue: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Flurry vs Blue: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Uh, ok. Blur me!"

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Hero Point reroll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Desmond tries to grab Alyreha back. Stop, thief!" He moves to go after him before he knocks into something. Despite being able to see in the dark, Desmond doesn't fully register how strange that is and he simply leaps onto the table to go after the assailant.

◆ Grab Alyreha
◆ Move through Green (auto fail, provoke)
◆ Move

Desmond doesn't need Haste. Nykor, you sure you don't want it? Bo?

Des also has Darkvision and will hold Alyreha. Are the attackers still invisible after they strike? And can he tell which of them is trying to take Alyreha?

"Hey, let go of--" The half-orc is grabbing after Alyreha when he gets stabbed. "Whoa! That's against the rules! I'm a medic! You have to answer for that!"

Desmond secures Alyreha and rushes after the thief to lecture him on the rules of war (warfare lore).

Not sure of the actions here. Desmond will grab Alyreha (maybe an action?), but then he would rush after the one who stabbed him (black?). But he doesn't know there's an invisible foe blocking him. If he somehow was aware he couldn't go that way, he would jump onto the table and go after Black.

So Desmond has played 4-10 before. However, I'd love to continue playing if you'll allow me or if that's possible. I don't know if it's allowed for me just to not take any credit.

Desmond checks on everyone's wounds before they head to sleep. "Alyreha, do you sleep now?"

Desmond shrugs, accepting the sigil. "I guess I don't mind. A bit like a magical tattoo, yeah?"

Back at the library, he looks at the others. "I'm not much of a scholar, but I'm good with my hands and I can help find things."

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Takumi and Bo.

Earn Income, PFS Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

"Oh, you're ready to go back? I thought you might want to sit with your friend for a while. But very well, we can go when you're ready."

Desmond smiles and turns the skull around. "Arclord Alyreha Tzonnek, it is an honor to meet you."

He looks up at Vrisk. "Do you know of any way to restore her memories?"

Religion, untrained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Desmond tries to use some religious signs to see if the creature will understand that.

Desmond pats Zykyryz's skull after the doors open. "Nice work."

He lifts the skull so it can see each of the items inside the glass cases. "What do you think?"
