Dirissa Dhib's page

My fellow gamers/adventurers: I hate to have to say this, but I think I’m gonna have to bow out of my PBP games. We all know how real life can rear its ugly head, and I’m just not finding the time to work on my online hobby these days. I can barely keep up with reading posts, let alone posting any actions on my own, and I’d rather not limp along in some half-ass fashion without being able to give the time and energy that these games and our characters deserve. I wish you all the best and thank you for including me in your stories. -Rob

Dirissa's really mad that she can't hit this damn thing-hopefully the flank helps.

thanks for the heads up Keldor. I thought I already went this turn
GNOME SMASH! Or try to anyway.
hammer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 dam: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

hey guys, I'll be travelling for the next few days. Apologies. Please bot me as needed.

With Thawm's additonal bonus, she figures she can't miss. Of course, the rage might inspire that kind of overconfidence, too.
magic hammer PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 - 1 + 2 = 25 dam: 1d4 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 11

AoO: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13 dam: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

Dirissa tries to smack the thing as it stands back up, but her blow glances off its armor. Grinning madly, she swings again, really putting her back into it this time.

magic hammertime PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 - 1 = 24 dam: 1d4 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 8

This particular foe looked kinda scary with his shiny wand thing, so Dirissa decides to try to take it down before it hurts them too badly. With a low growl, she runs past Basil into the room swinging her magic hammer. activating rage as a free action, running in and attacking with magic hammer
magic hammer: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18 dam: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

"Hrmph, they're jerks, they don't deserve new boots!"

there won't be a lamp standing by the time Basil and I are through. Genies of the world, beware!
Frustrated, Dirissa rages against the robot, swinging her hammer with renewed gusto.
hammer PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 18 dam: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

Dirissa moves up behind the automaton (is that what Keldor called it? Is that a kind of vegetable?) and tries to bash it with her hammer.
hammer PA: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 1 = 6 dam: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
But only succeeds in smashing another of those evil lamps. Apparently, the automaton questions was just too distracting.

I'm not sure how much movement it will take to cross the stuff in the middle between the robots...I figured no matter what, Dirissa should be able to advance 10 feet or so and still be able to attack if the bot moves her way

With Thawm's additional blessing, Dirissa steps forward and tries to slam her hammer into the mechanical critter.
hammer/PA: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 18 dam: 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5

Dirissa cackles with glee as runs into the room following Basil's blast. Not quite fast enough to make it to her target, she casts a spell of strength on herself (divine favor). "Save some for the rest of us, Basil!"

Dirissa looks at Thawm with a questioning eye. "Righty tighty, lefty loosey?"

"I think we should try the double door," Dirissa says. "If there's anything big, let's get it over with."

"Decent chance it'll be that device thingy. I'm not really keen about the noise, but it seems like the way to go. Odds are, they suspect we're coming this time, so we might want to be ready for some sort of ambush. I really hope they don't have any more gargoyles."

I believe I'm ready. I'm happy to throw money in for a CLW wand btw

yes, keeping the +1 hammer, it's among my weapons

sweet! then I'll definitely upgrade to the chainmail
And I'm fine with selling the tech. She's an old fashioned kinda girl, well, aside from the flashlight cause that's just cool

agreed.

I wonder if some merchant in town would be willing to swap that MW chainmail for a small size mw chainmail?

I'll gladly take any unclaimed AC boosts

"She went into the water, so odds are, she went back in to the tunnels. We'll probably have the best chance of finding her down there."

Dirissa would ROCK jump jets :)
"We should probably try to figure out what was stolen in the morning. For now, maybe a few of us should sleep in the ...{ooc]what was it, a shed? warehouse? workroom?[/ooc]. "
With a resigned sigh, Dirissa heads back to get some further sleep.

Unless Basil wants to pick her up, Dirissa will keep running, grumbling to herself about preferring fights in contained spaces.

Running to catch up with the horse, Dirissa eventually arrives to Thawm and Basil's side. She shakes her head. "I don't have any but the simplest magics available. I'm sorry, Basil." She looks down toward her glowing shoe contritely.

Dirissa keeps running, rounding the building and heading for the android. I should learn some sort of speed spell.

Dirissa legs keep pumping as she runs to keep up with the others. (double move)

I can’t look at the map right now! Have her double move (20’ x2) to Basil.

do we have a key? or someone who can pop a lock open?

Dirissa mostly uses the flashlight for fun. It's more of a toy for her
With it being kind of dark, Dirissa casts a light spell on her left shoe as she hurries along. (If anyone says anything, she'll reply "What? I like to see where my feet are.")

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Dirissa just looks at Basil dumbfounded for a second as she announces she's going to check on a noise. "Wait... What?! Someone's breaking in?" She jumps to her feet and nudges Keldor. "Wake up!" she says, pulling out her hammer and heading out after Basil. "Come on, lazy bones!" she calls out behind her.

I have to do one more bout of travelling. This will probably be it for a while though. Looks like Tues thru Sunday. Will do my best to check in as I can, but no guarantees. Apologies in advance

re: wizard prep time- pretty sure that was amended. "He must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time by getting 8 hours of sleep and spending 1 hour studying his spellbook."
"To prepare his daily spells, a wizard must first sleep for 8 hours. The wizard does not have to slumber for every minute of the time, but he must refrain from movement, combat, spellcasting, skill use, conversation, or any other fairly demanding physical or mental task during the rest period. If his rest is interrupted, each interruption adds 1 hour to the total amount of time he has to rest in order to clear his mind, and he must have at least 1 hour of uninterrupted rest immediately prior to preparing his spells. If the character does not need to sleep for some reason, he still must have 8 hours of restful calm before preparing any spells." Wizards are complicated dammit
Dirissa is fine with whatever watch she's woken up for. She may grumble a bit, but she won't hurt anyone...probably.

if you rouse Dirissa, she'll toss one more CLW for you Kel-clw: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8. After that, she'll probably go back to sleep. She'll be fine in a bit and can take last watch
"Huh? Whazzat? Oh yeah, sure." She waves a hand almost dismissively to cast another healing spell as she curls up in a little ball on the floor.

As the others were speaking to Khonnir, Dirissa sat down for a minute, leaning her back against a wall. Without really meaning to, she falls asleep sitting up.

quick heads up: I will be travelling for the next few days (Thurs-Sun). I may or may not have internet access. Apologies in advance

Dirissa tilts her head to one side and cracks her neck. "Maybe I can get him to talk," she says with a smile. "Just need to know what kinda questions you wanna ask, aside from who Hellioon is." she's mispronouncing his name on purpose

"I prefer to sleep where I can see the sky. And where something doesn't jump out of every door to kill me." Dirissa chuckles. "Although that does keep you on your toes."

Dirissa nods her head in agreement. "And I could use a nap." She examines the tears and bloodstains in her garments. "And a tailor."

glad to have you back Basil!

Growling over the fallen gargoyle, Dirissa directs her attention to Keldor.
clw: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
what's that put you at?

yeah, I'm fine with having the magic hammer, and in fact, was carrying it prior to Varilien coming along. I might lose a point on to-hit, but the +1 cancels that out- if you wanna retcon the last damage that'd be dam: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
Gnome smash!
+1hammer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 dam: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Gnome probably miss tho.

Dirissa angrily swings her hammer at the gargoyle.
hammer, PA: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 1 = 18 dam: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Seeing the straits Gauntlet is in, Dirissa calls up a healing spell and then moves in to touch her comrade.
cast, move, touch
clw: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
and of course she rolls a 1

keep standing Gauntlet! I can fire a clw off for you next turn

hammerPA: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 1 = 6 dam: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Dirissa swings again, but her timing is off. Frustrated at her inability to do any real damage to the creature, she spits at him and takes a step back, hoping he'll follow her (allowing Keldor to flank him).
I cant move the dead ratman token, but she's under there

speaking of traveling, I will be doing some as well later this week/weekend (Thurs-Sun). I SHOULD still have some access, but will have limited opportunities to post. Please BOT me if needed.

Dirissa tries to get rid of the remaining rat near her so everyone can focus on the big guy.
hammer,PA: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 1 = 5 dam: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
But her foot slips in a bit of blood on the floor and her swing goes wild.
