Dorian Quartz's page

Gil brings his earthbreaker down, not so much breaking the skeleton as shattering it into a thousand small fragments.

Lilia can't see the green dot skeleton from her position. She hits the intersection.

Lilia pitches her bomb in an overhand toss. It travels over the skeletons' heads and lands just behind them. The explosion sends the blue dot skeleton pitching forward. It hits the floor and breaks apart.

Dorian, do you want to not move and apply your attack and damage to the remaining skeleton (green dot) since red and blue are now destroyed?

Yes, that's fine

I don't seem to be able to move Dorian in Roll20. So, he is going to move north five feet, then northeast five feet, then north five feet. this will move him into a flank position with Gil against the blue skeleton. In order to do this, He will use his acrobatics skill vs. all three skeletons.

Acrobatics vs Green skeleton CMD: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Acrobatics vs Red skeleton CMD: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Acrobatics vs Blue skeleton CMD: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

My assumption is that the Red and Blue get AoOs on me. I will attempt to parry and ripost the first attack

Parry: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
If successful, then attack and damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 181d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Then, once I am flanking the Blue skeleton...

Attack and damage: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 231d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I'll be out of touch until Monday. Feel free to GMBot me until then.

"Of course, Gil. We are all following you."

Dorian purchases two potions of Cure Light Wounds and puts them in his bandolier.

He is ready to go.

Personally, I'd rather skip ahead.

"Ooo, I'm really sorry to see you go, Tobias, but, Gil, I'm ready to go. This is fun!"

Thanks for the math!

Hit points at second level: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Dorian can carry most of the potions. He has a bandolier, so that it is not a standard action to retrieve it.

Gil, that sounds like a plan.

One way of taking care of multiple folk wanting the same item is:

• After all other items have been liquidated and the monies distributed...
• Determine the sale value of the item coveted by multiple folk (let's call this x)
• Divide x by the number of folk. (let's call this n)
• Randomly choose which of the n folk gets the item. (Let's call this person A)
• Person A either pays or owes each of the other n folk x/n.
• This way, the person who gets it has that advantage, and the other folk who lost out get some recompense.

As far as distributing the monies, I like your 20% holdback. So, once the items are liquidated, then one fifth gets put into a group fund before distribution. If, later on, we decide it is too much or too little, we can change the percent. Also, I see no reason why one of the folk could, with approval of the group, borrow some small portion of the group fund to purchase something, with the understanding they will pay back the group fund.

Here is a list of the things we are taking back. Some should obviously be sold, but some might be claimed. For instance, is the "longbow of fine quality" magic? What about the arrows? The padded armor? The clasp? or anything else?

Masterwork Breastplate
Earth Breaker
Tekko-kagi
Backpack
50ft of Silk Rope
5 trail rations
Hammer
1 Piton
MW Kopesh

two vials of a bright, silver substance (Silversheen)
a longbow of fine quality, though currently stringless,
ten arrows with heavy, metal tips,
a gold scarab cloak clasp,
a holy symbol of Opal carved from silver,
a silver hand mirror of exceptional quality and
a wax-sealed clay urn marked as having nard,

A suit of padded armor, very well preserved. Impossibly so, in fact.
A disintegrating cloth sack filled with ancient Citrinic gold coins. A quite estimate suggests around 400-600 individual coins.
A darkwood coffer, beautifully carved in the style of the now-destroyed Obsidian Kingdom. Inside is a potion of some sort. The potion is so dark red it is almost black.
Also inside the coffer is a clear potion that glows lightly, shining in the light.
In another cloth bag is an ornate citrine and carnelian pendant and an assortment of citrine, lapis lazuli and jade stones.

After looking in the Urn with Lilia, Dorian will say, "Let's look in the sarcophagus. We don't have to disturb the body, but at the very least, we should document what is in there."

Dorian moves into the corridor, "C'mon, Gil, Why don't you get ahead of me and check for traps."

Dorian will take a step back, find his three Alchemist's Fires, and throw one at the swarm. "Watch out, Gil" Dorian is targeting the five-foot square just south of Gil

Alchemist's Fire and damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d6 ⇒ 4

"Well," says Dorian, covering his mouth with a cloth to protect him from the dust, "It looks like we've found a cache. It would be good if someone would look for secret doors, but, meanwhile, I'm going to begin opening some of these chests, boxes, and urns."

Dorian happily goes to the Western door with Gil, and helps him open the door.

"Oooo! Oooo! Oooo! There's a door here in the east! And one in the west!"

"Umm, may I have the Ioun Torch? That way we don't have to carry torches in here. Also, If no one else can use it, I'd like to upgrade to the Composite Longbow (STR+1)."

Dorian will retrieve his rapier, and stick the mimic a few more times. "Give me that!"

Then search the room.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 19

"Darn it! I want that back!" says Dorian as he gets out his bow.

Ranged attack and damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d6 ⇒ 4

I'll third for a healer.

"Gil, wait for me" says Dorian as he moves into flanking position, and attempts to strike the mimic.

attack (including flanking) and damage: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 271d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

critical confirmation and possible critical damage: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 281d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Oh, man! Can I have exploding 20's?

reflex save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

I haven't posted in the game because there was nothing to do. And, I didn't want to get involved in the kerfluffle.

Dorian's Charaisma will go up to 16. That changes his Panache to 3, etc.

Dorian in his own inept way tries to help...

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Dorian will place that one in his backpack and go get the other one.

"Hmmm, these look worthwhile," Dorian thinks to himself. Dorian will sheathe his rapier and try to take the ankh.

"Bastian, perhaps the warrior statues are part of the trap. I'm going to look at one of them, and I will be prepared to attack it if it becomes hostile."

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 18

There is a corridor that on the side has difficult terrain if you would like you can get close but any more would need acrobatics checks to not get swung at by this thing as that is the only area to get around and flank it.

Well, then I would attempt to go by it. My first Acrobatics check was a 12 vs. its CMD. If I fail and it is going to take a swing at me, then, I am going to attempt to parry and riposte.

once again, I cannot normally see roll20 maps. but, I will attempt to always move into flank position if possible. Thus, if a single move action will allow me to move into flank position then I will do that. If not, then at least I will move up to the critter in order to move into a flank position on the next round.

acrobatics if necessary to move through sandy spaces or threatened squares (I'll roll three times, just in case): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 121d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 231d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Then an attack (with damage): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5.
critical confirmation: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
extra critical damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

A total of 9 damage before DR

"A line, you say? Okay, but that's not how I learned to fight." Dorian will stand next to Bastian, and prepare a single attack if one of the creatures comes into reach.

attack and damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Hey, folks, come on. Grab the goodies and get in here," Dorian yells as he puts his torch into the the torch holder on the left.

"Lead on Bastian... I mean Captain," Dorian says as he follows Bastian.

"I suggest we spend a minute searching this room and opening the various chests and the urn. That won't spend too much time, and the items we find may be helpful to us as a group."

Cool.

Critical damage is a bit off there Dorian. Should be 2d6+2.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Initial damage was with the first hit (2). Critical damage is added to it (+3), for a total of 2d6+2. I rolled really poorly. A '1' and a '2'.

I didn't get to finish my turn before you resolved it. I also get an attack vs one of the dolls.

Dorian, with panache, will attempt to parry the second attack.

parry: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Since the parry is successful, he will attempt a riposte.

attack and damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
attempt to confirm critical: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
If that confirms, then added critical damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3, and he gets his point of panache back.

"Ha Ha! Take that!"

Then, on his turn, if there is a space to be that will give Bastion flanking, then Dorian will attempt to move there. Acrobatics check vs. warrior doll CMD. If he fails, then the doll gets an attack of opportunity: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Then, Dorian will make his attack on it (this assumes flanking). attack and damage: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 201d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"And that!"

Dorian keeps wondering why he's called "Private Quartz", it's not like he's in the military or anything.

Still, Bastion seems to know what he's doing.

Remember, I can't access roll20 from work during the day.

Dorian will move along with Bastion and will stand at his side.

"Okay, open the door on three. One. Two. Three."Dorian opens the door.

Dorian will unharness himself, jump down, then tug on the rope once, wait a bit, then twice more.

"Hey, there's a dead body down here. There's also a pair of stone doors to the west." Dorian shouts upward.

"Sure, I'm ready! Here, let me grab the rope. Are you ready? Then lower me down."

"Oh, we don't know how deep it is. Does someone have some oil? We could take the ten feet of rope, pour oil on it, light it on fire, and drop it in. Then, we'd know how deep it was."

"Hey, does anyone have another rope? Attach it to the piton here, and I'll climb down."

Just paying attention to all the action of turning the door, and listening to Bastian bark out orders has left Dorian somewhat inattentive.

Now that the beast has attacked, he springs into action. Dorian will take a five foot step (SW) and attack the cruel beast.

Rapier and damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

If you'd like I can move your token for you when you are unable.

The big issue is not moving the token, but understanding the tactical situation. Swashbucklers are all about the tacticals.

Please take a moment to visit our Roll20 map site:

https://app.roll20.net/join/646871/KBO5vA

Create an account if you don't have one already and confirm that you can move your token. Once everyone's confirmed they can we'll move onto the next phase of the exploration - what's on the other side of the door.

I can confirm that I can move my token. But, you didn't say that you were using roll20 before. I can only use it at home, and don't have the time to use it more than once every other day or so. (Cannot use roll20 at work, leave for work before dawn, get home from work after 9:30 pm.)

While Roll20 is better than many other options, it will make things much more difficult for me. Using google docs is an option that I can use at work occasionally.

I will try to keep up, but, I may have some issues with tacticals.

Dorian will help.
I'll do this ten times. Gil should use anything >= 10 as a +2 to his roll. But, they should be used in order.

"I don't think I'll be much help pulling the door open with so much sand in the way. Here, I'll start moving the sand away."

With that, Dorian puts away his rapier, gets on his knees, and starts moving the sand away with his hands.

Dorian is trying to get some sleep -- even though he is so excited that it may be difficult.

"Wow, Tobias. That's just so... so accomplished sounding. I'm light on my feat and good with my rapier, but... but... but, if you need a legal document, I know how to do that too!"

Dorian will act a little disappointed that we cannot set out immediately.

"Well, okay. Where should we be at sunrise?"
