Dino Tarak's page

Using his superior speed, Tarak runs ahead of the fleeing thief and whirls around with a roar and grasping claws, hoping the man would stop and surrender or something similar.

Noticing as he does so that the rest of the group doesn’t seem to also be giving chase, he lets the man flee should he keep running with only a desultory slash of his claws has he passes.

And a day dream of launching a lightning bolt up his hindquarters.

But, that be a waste of magic

Still cramped on the stairwell, Tarak hisses out another arc of electricty at the more wounded of the pair now facing Gnasher.

Lightning Arc at the red hyenadon

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage, Electric: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Don't think that's going to do it, options are limited stuck on these stairs, especially saving some of my more fun stuff for the King or something meaner

Tarak hisses out another spell, ending with a snap.

lightning arc at cyan, I think. Guessing he’ll get that enemy in melee bonus

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage, electric: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

im as ready as I’m going to be. I’m guessing my barkskin is still up (50 minutes) but not sure about Gnasher’s Bulls STR (5 minutes)

Tarak hisses agreement, maybe, it’s hard to understand dinosaur, and heads towards the stairs.

Tarak stalks around the room, looking over the dead scorpion and rubble while the rest of the group sorts out their healing, eventually waiting by the door, watching for trouble.

almost out of 3rd level spells, but I’ve got some stuff left.

Tarak shuffle steps a little to get a clear view then roars like crashing thunder, a bolt of lightning arcing from his fanged maw.

Looks like a 5' step should give me a clear shot at the thing while avoiding Gnasher, if this isn't possible please let me know and I'll do something, I don't want to blast Gnasher as well.

Pop Beacon of Faith (+2 CL) and casting lightning bolt

Lightning Bolt, DC 18 reflex for half: 9d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 4, 2, 6, 3, 6, 4) = 36
CL 6, +1 for Mages Tattoo, +2 for Beacon of Faith

Tarak snorts, and stalks around the room, looking with a keen eye.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Tarak just snorts and shakes his head at the question from Gnasher. Then, shaking some blood from his claws, he follows the group.

Tarak roars in triumph as his first enemy falls, then pounces on the remaining enemy.

Talon, GMW: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17
Damage, S, Talon: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Talon, GMW: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage, S, Talon: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Bite, GMW: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9
Damage P+B, Bite: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Foreclaws, GMW: 1d20 + 0 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 0 + 1 = 21
Confirm?: 1d20 + 0 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 0 + 1 = 21
Damage, S, Foreclaw: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3
Natural attack crit multiplier is 2x?

With a snap and a snarl, Tarak unleashes his dinosaur fury on the gnoll who attacked him with a storm of claws and teeth.

Full attack on the one who attacked me, purple I presume

Talon, Greater Magic Fang: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
Damage, S, Talon, GMF: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12

Talon, GMF: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8
Damage, S, Talon, GMF: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

Bite, GMF: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 16
Damage P+B, Bite, GMF: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Foreclaws, GMF: 1d20 + 0 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 0 + 1 = 15
Damage, S, Foreclaw, GMF: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

I realize now my last post wasn’t in Dino form. AC is 18 with barkskin up

Tarak shakes his head groggily for an instant and sees Mei rush off to help the new hobgoblin, gathering his wits, the Druid shifts back to his normal form.

Stabilize: 1d20 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) - 5 + 1 = 2

I'll take the kindly GM's offer of a redo of my completely pointless full attack and 5' step back and cast Lightning Bolt

REWIND

Tarak shakes out of his confusion, swearing he attacked this thing and had his teeth and claws bounce off its armored hide. Doing the dinosaur version of a shrug, he steps back slightly and roars in a strangely melodic fashion, ending with his mouth open wide and a bolt of lightning arcing out of his throat to the thing savaging the group.

CL 5, +1 for Mages Tattoo, popping Beacon of Faith for another +2 CL on my domain Lightning Bolt

Lightning Bolt, Electrictiy, DC 18 reflex for half damage: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 6, 2, 2, 6, 5) = 28

whatever this is seems like it has a decent reflex save, and looks demonish so probably has resistance anyway.

confused: 1d100 ⇒ 23

Regaining composure for a moment, Tarak notices the demon thing standing over a fallen Gnasher and just lets the animal go again, bursting into a flurry of teeth and claws.

Bite, Bulls Strength, Confused: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 - 2 = 8
Damage, B+P, Bulls: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7
Miss? Low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 32

Claw 1, Bulls Strength, Confused: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 - 2 = 15
Damage, B+P, Bulls: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7
Miss? Low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 95

Claw 2, Bulls Strength, Confused: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 - 2 = 9
Damage, B+P, Bulls: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
Miss? Low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 17

Foreclaws, Bulls Strength, Confused: 1d20 + 0 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 0 + 2 - 2 = 18
Damage, B+P, Bulls: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
Miss? Low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 88

Don't have many better options with Gnasher in the line of fire, lightning bolt will probably finish him off. I'll start rolling up that Cleric now :)

Confused and injured, Tarak let’s his wild form take control for a moment and lash out at the nearest thing. A confused and bloodraging Gnasher.

Bite, confused, bulls strength: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 19
Damage, bulls strength: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
I had him bite for flavor, but it feels gamey to not use my highest damage attack so I’m using my claw attacks 1d8, not that that 1 makes any difference

Unless you're looking for wild tendencies, Shifter gives you the same thing baring some other Monk like abilities.

True, but that's two levels instead of the one. Things to ponder, might just stay pure drood as well.

Or, after I attack Gnasher in a minute the point will be moot, and I'll get to play my cleric after Gnasher shreds me.

Win win, I ... guess?

1d100 ⇒ 100
confusion dice love me! Do I have to attack with a single strike or full attack?

1d100 ⇒ 39

Dino Tarak makes dinosaur noises harmlessly.

So now, I have a question. GM gave me weapon shift which says

Your natural attacks also gain all of the weapon’s properties (such as disarm), other than the double weapon property and the fragile weapon property

Now, if I do dip in Monk and use a monk weapon for this feat, I wonder if the monk special weapon property would apply, since it is a weapon property but not called out in the description as not allowed. If so, then that would let Tarak flurry of blows wildshaped, which is not normally allowed.

because that makes a monk dip even more enticing, apart from the WIS to armor which already is very enticing for losing a level of spell casting

If this is an obviously silly question that I just didn’t see the text for, I’ll blame the couple bourbons I’ve had tonight :)

I agree we’ll be Ok, we won’t all fail every round, or at least some of us will roll that “act normally” and we’ve got a couple of beasts in the group ourselves.

Although I do recall a failed attempt at reign of winter where our group TPKd twice, pretty much in a row. First at the cabin, then hilariously to a couple of pixies and a whole lot of failed Will saves.

OMG! One of you had better start acting normal or this will get real nasty real quick!

Adjusted locations on map and HP loss for Gnasher's new location.
Gnasher (-18 HP)

What? Nuking 1/3 of my hit points by scratching MY SELF isn’t good for the group? Huh ;)

Confused?, DC 18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
How confused?: 1d100 ⇒ 55
using Urah’s description
Self Cutting: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Tarak gets startled by the droning sound and scratches at his earhole without thinking of about the devastatingly sharp claw on his new leg, cutting his flesh and losing his spell.

Im very sad to lose my monkies, they would have been pretty handy here. This AP loves save or suck effects and those darned pugwampis. Uncool bro, uncool.

Dino Tarak begins casting.

start casting Mad Monkeys

I don't like the sound of this will save so i'm going to preemptively use my inescapable Luck for the +8 before the roll. After all that fear i'm a little skittish
Will Save vs DC 17: 1d20 + 8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 8 = 20
Seems to be the right call!

Dino Tarak finishes morphing and stalks into the room behind the Gnoll, looking to fan out and get some angles for his magic before he resorts to his claws and teeth.

Heavily wounded and overcoming his new shape’s bloodlust, Tarak retreats from danger.

Full withdrawal, hoping the gnoll doesn’t have reach. I’ll move my icon to the main room in a bit when I can get the computer running

indeed, though it is one higher than it would have been had I not shapeshifted. Ideally I’ll be Barkskinned next time I get stuck in melee like this. Also next level an amulet of NA is on the list

Tarak steps over the shredded gnoll and finds another victim, this one already under attack from the guards. Leaping in with a rending claw.

I am guessing I can't diagonal 5' step around that corner so its a move and attack

Attack Orange 6, Power Attack, Bless, Flank, inspire: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 12
Damage, Talon, S, PA, inspire: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10

Melee is a third resort for Tarak, he’d prefer to be lightning bombing safely in flight as a bird, but 6th level pouncing Dire Tiger form won’t be bad as a backup.

Hissing in pain from the relatively minor cuts, Tarak leaps on the gnoll, brutal talons leading the way.

Talon 1, Bless, PA: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 8
Damage, PA, S: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Talon 2, Bless, PA: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 19
Damage, PA, S: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

Bite, PA, Bless: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 17
Damage, PA, B+P: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Foreclaws, PA, Bless: 1d20 + 0 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 0 + 1 - 1 = 7
Damage, S, PA: 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4

HP 16/29

Aww, Natural Spell is so close and those Gnolls are in such a nice AOE formation. Is that another Pugwampi by the Gnolls? Also do we know the non-outlined guy in the back there, is that Dashki?

Doesn't much matter, I don't want to spend another round going back to my less armored human form for weaker attacks, I'm in it to win it as a dino right now I guess

Smelling blood and gnoll, Tarak rounds the corner and finds a pair waiting for him, and he obliges; leading in one wicked claw first.

Attack Black 7, Talon, Bless, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 10
Damage S, Power Attack: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10
Pug Reroll, if needed: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 12

HP 22/29

Lacking enemies to eat, Dino Tarak stretches his newfound and much faster legs and chases after Lupe and Wolf, towards the sounds of battle and smells of bloodshed.

Double move

I don't recall who Katsumi is was. Is the Gnoll next to Gnasher still in the fight, or is he the one who r-u-n-n-o-f-t? If he's still in the fight I'll move and attack, if not I'll double move around towards the other battle

Dino roars again and pounces on his enemy in a whirlwind of claws, teeth and blood.

Attacking Black 1. I did give Filliped a CMW wand if he gets some breathing room. Or where's father whats his face (not to be confused with Princess Whats Her Name?

Talon 1, Power Attack, Inspire: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 21
Damage, S, Power Attack, Inspire: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 13

Talon 2, Power Attack, Inspire: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 19
Damage, S, Power Attack, Inspire: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 13

Bite, Power Attack, Inspire: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 24
Damage, B+P, Power Attack, Inspire: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 8

Foreclaws, Power Attack, Inspire: 1d20 + 0 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 0 - 1 + 1 = 11
Damage, S, Power Attack, Inspire: 1d4 + 0 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 0 + 1 + 1 = 6

If Black #1 drops from the first two attacks, I'll attack the guy next to him in range

not getting armor on, that I knew going in. For sure I misread and didn't see the pug on the map before I shifted. Had I paid correct attention I would have started this thing with a flurry. I blame it on a very hectic first week of school and some family travel and wanting to get posts in as to not stall the game. C'est la vie

I'm not actually mad at the pug, I like the added challenge to this fight.

It'll take two rounds and probably will end up hitting one of you but I'm highly considering shifting and flurry of snowballsing that pugwampis and its hax

Matching Gnasher's roar, Tarak also unleashed a flurry of teeth and claws.

Talon 1, PA, inspire: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 25
Pug HAX reroll: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 11
Damage, S, PA, Inspire: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 11

Damage, S, PA, Inspire: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 11

MFing pug just negated TWO crits.

second attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 1 = 6

sigh, pugwampis are OP

Thanks, and yep it was me.

I managed to move my icon with my phone but also managed to move the whole map a bit, sorry. I'll stick to waiting till I have my computer, my phone just hates these maps.

Dino Tarak stalks forward with a hiss and bites at a Gnoll. the one right next to Tarak

Bite, PA: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 1 = 23
Damage, B&P: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

With a growl the beast stalks toward the doorway and the primed and ready Gnasher.
