Dorotian 'Doro' Andalar's page

I've been very very sick.flu that turned to Pneumonia. Trying to get out of the can't function zone.

And sorry for your loss

seeing the threat of the skeletons neutralized Doro points to the opening to the courtyard outside the tower and says Has anyone searched that area yet?He moves towards the opening waiting for the others to catch up.

Doro puts the stone vase in his backpack determined to find the rest of his heart, and perhaps that will redeem the lost spirit.

Doro will turn when he heres the sounds of victory at the tower and sees the Archons streaking towards another location. He enters the room where he felled the wights again and carefully moves among the various objects within doing a fairly thorough search

Doro pauses and looks around the room, and then turns and strides out of the room heading towards the tower.

ahh no. thank you.

crit confirm: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 311d8 + 6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 + (6, 1) = 23

Doro grins as the evil he had detected lessened and he said and so go all who Iomedae sets her righteous gaze on He spins and strikes at the Wight blocking the door.

attack Yellow: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 391d8 + 6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 + (5, 3) = 211d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 311d8 + 6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 + (1, 4) = 16

oh I am

Last Round

As the shadowy creature fell to the ground, Doro lashed out with his mace; that was glowing with the light of goodness, seeing an opportunity.

attack: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 15 - 1 + 2 = 281d8 + 6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 + (3, 3) = 19

As the creature started crawling away, with the singlemindedness of one assured of his righteousness, Doro followed him. He ignored the lesser undead for the moment, focusing his assault on the leader who had spoken of the heart. He then brought his attacks with a flourish. You cannot flee the rightness of The Sword Maidens purpose

Using Step up feat

attack prone undead.: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 15 - 1 + 2 + 4 = 281d8 + 6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 + (2, 4) = 211d20 + 10 - 1 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 1 + 2 + 4 = 281d8 + 6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 + (4, 5) = 25

Doro felt the freezing claws imbued with the unholy force of negative energy rake into him. He gasped involuntarily and through clenched teeth he said to his allies Foul Undead here. It shall not deny death any longer by Iomedae. Then to the creature. Oh We will, we have the strength of the Sword Maiden behind us. Our cause is righteous. Your master is nothing before that. Then he paused and held his mace up calling upon the celstial spirit to aid him. A swirling of glowing mist occurred and entered the mace which began to emit light and radiated Holiness. and took a 5' step towards the creature.

Not intending to 'split' the party, He will follow up into the tower, just rping his reluctance to leave evil.

Doro stands in the other doorway, reluctant to leave since he detected evil in the room. and glances at the others forming up on the tower. He proclaims firmly to the air in the room and any who may hear. In the name of Iomedae I command you to reveal yourself villain. If you continue to hide I cannot guarantee safety. If you are a spirit or fiend, or the living dead I will send you to your grave

Doro moves to the doorway of the squat building with the vase and pauses narrowing his eyes and scanning the area for the hint of evil before entering.

detect evil in building particularly on vase

Aoo for Doro

attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 321d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Doro settles into a combat form, bringing the heavy mace back across from the right to left in a downward motion after hed hit the skelton the first time. and then a sweeping attack straight across from left to right.

attacks: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 251d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 131d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 201d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Doro stands just outside the doorway and bangs his shield once and says Alright Uglies. Lets tussle

readies attack

attack first to get adjacent: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 331d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

my position is perfect. any way to indicate the width of the doorway in case its more than 1 square?

Array yourselves around the doorway. I will bait them out.

Doro dismounts, and ties the reigns around Kal-Zi's legs thus keeping the horse from running away and he moves along the side of the building, keeping a warry eye out.

Doro mounts Kal-Zi and patted his shoulder, saying Lets go. I can ride in the fore, if Miss Vivian prefers not to. he guided the horse forward and began to head towards the house they have chosen to check out first, wary and watching around.

Doro nods at Vivian's choice.

Hey I resemble that remark ;)

Doro pats Kal-Zi's neck and says I dont like the idea of leaving our horses behind. In this infested area, any of our foes would likely kill our horses just to make our chasing them down harder. The undead of Feldgrau would just as likely slay things just for being living as well.

Let us follow, but take all with. We can move to the outskirts of town trying to avoid patrols but prepapared to fight.

My apologies for being a sent for a few days. Been moving since Friday. And no internet connection in the new house (even though I'm in the middle of the city and my cell signal for inet was also nonexistent.

Cable Guy installed a modem this morning...and voila

I'm back

Doro looks at the others and says It sounds like a 3 way fight in there. with us it looks like 4. Is there a way of capitalizing on the factions at odds with each other...

Doro walks in looking at the altar. Shrugs and says whatever foul cult this is. I dont think this matters.

religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Dire words friend Niculaie. Should we try to skirt the town?

Doro replied while adjusting his frame in the saddle. he patted Kal-Zi on the shoulder as the horse whinnied and shuffled his feat.

Doro watched as the sentient predator tree's vines stopped flailing and Gregor was disgorged from its gullet. He shook his head, and wipes his mace on the grass beneath it. The turning he said as he bowed.

Ms Sophie. It was my pleasure to meet you at Liepstadt. It is good to know you are still bringing your wisdom to this world. What adventures have you been on since you left this group. I joined officially not long ago on the hunt for those who stole a werewolves heart for their nefarious plot.
I am Dorotian Andalar. Holy Warrior of Lastwall. I am called Doro by most.

I did not include the inspire courage benefits. Ill do breakdowns in future dice rolls. so it would be 34 to hit 19 damage bypass dr.

Doro points at the tree and stats simply, You are evil. Iomedae grant me the power to end its existence.

The Doro rushes forward to swing his mace at the tree.

attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 321d8 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Doro looked at how far out the vines could reach, and moved til he was just out of reach and adjusted his shield and readied his mace as he narrowed his eyes and called upon his God given powers to ascertain if something was inherently evil. while waiting for Pontia or Vivian to share its vulnerabilities.

cast detect evil

No. They are nothing more than human skeletons. I think someone is using illusory magic to make us approach unawares.

Doro will move slowly in a semi circular fashion to the right, around the building to see windows or cracks in the dilapidated house from a distance of say 50 feet. until he circles the building entirely

will save dc20: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

I agree Friend Niculaie. Those arent wolflike humaoids...those are human skeletons. Theres illusuinary magic at work. have a care

Doro dismounts and picks up his shield and pulls his mace. looking around.

alrighty. ill be here when youre back

Yes Mathus was the werewolf and the caster that got away was the ally spoken of.

I agree we need to track down The Whispering Way.

I think a knowledge check of the whispering way might give us where these fights may be to happen. We know one of the clans of werewolves is tracking them, so if we knew which one we could try to find out which direction they are headed.

Doro had helped clean the place thoroughly, just as he had in temples of Iomedae in his youth. Then had walked up the staircase as before to where the ritual was to be performed.

He was skeptical that this ritual would do much so when Niculaie had finished it and he saw the grand Dusk Moth rise up before him he felt the presence of a divine being. He had only felt this once before when he had received Iomedaes blessing to become one of her servant. He collapsed on the rooftop seeing visions of fighting great evil, from a necromancer to a vampiress to a lich in various locations. He knew he was on the right path. He awoke and shook his head and stood looking at the others, in each case he saw the normally black iris' of their eyes were now silver. He looked at them again and said Are my eyes the same as yours? silver iris'?

He knew his purpose was strengthened and he had a greater sense of presence because of it.

+1 to Cha

Doro looked at Estovian and said. Mathus is no more. Where did the Whispering way go? do you know?

Doro steps into the doorway and says simply looking at Estovian as he holds his shield in one hand at the ready and mace in the other.

You have choices Estovian. There is the final cure of death, that we may administer to you now...immediately. Or You can help us, and leave here to join one of the tribes of werewolves and live out your existence as one of them. They may even see the irony, the owner of the lodge created to hunt them....now one of the hunted....or they may slay you in frenzy. who knows. Its a chance. what do you say? Help us and live to see another day....or not!

I moved Doro to the hall as far as a single move would take him

Doro scowls. and runs out of the room looking around...

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Doro looks at the size of the room, and decides he needs to change up the situation, especially since Estovian is a spell caster.

He moves in and to the right.

He points at Estovian and says loudly You! I challenge you! invoking the power of Iomedae in the words.

casting Knights Calling DC 13 Will

After Vivian completes her work. Doro goes into the room and peers at the hidden doorway. Mace in one hand, Shield at the ready. He is all business.

Doro moved into the cell, looking around poised to fight any unseen defenders. Do one of you know who this unfortunate soul is?

Doro has a grim smile on his face as he nods to Gregor. He transfers the mace to his shield hand and reaches for the door latch opening the door.

Doro sees Vivian and Gregor lookint at tracks and conferring and he nods. Lets see what this hall holds as he moves into it, Mace and shield at the ready.

Doro moves in right next to Niculaie as they move to the dias, not wanting the Bard to be alone in his advance. His wary eyes searching every nook and corner. Unfortunately any stealth the bard was working towards was nullified by the clanking of Doros armored form.

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

ok. so Bull Strength is gone, but Holy Weapon on Mace would still be running for another 5-3 minutes.

Doro looked inside and glanced at Vivian. Is the entry way trapped? before I make my way inside.

how long did it take to descend the stairs GM?

Holy weapon. from first combat post-Standard Action make mace Holy through divine bond. Good Aligned. +2d6 vs evil

Holy weapon.

Doro sidesteps putting his back to one of the Menhirs and shots into the fog The Female Werewolf spellcaster has turned to an eagle and is fleeing. If one of you can stop her.... as he continues his methodical assault on the male. Striking twice more leaving fur matted blood behind.

attacks vs male: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 251d8 + 16 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 16 + (2, 1) = 221d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 281d8 + 16 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 16 + (6, 2) = 27

Hello All.

I'm looking to try the PACS Open for the first time this year at Gen Con. I've signed up for a round 1 slot. There are a number of round 2 slots, some of which work with my schedule and some that don't. Both round 3 slots are available for me.

Can anyone who has participated in the past, or anyone involved in organizing, share some insights on how the scheduling for round 2 works? Is it flexible? Does it depend on when you played round 1? Do teams advance together? Any info would be helpful.

Thanks!

Has anyone been able to find any ACG events for the new season on the Gen Con event system? I've been checking almost daily since the blog post about the new season, and I can't find anything. There are plenty of the Seasons of the Shackles, Runelords, Righteous, and Plundered Tombs, but the only thing that comes up with any relation to Factions' Favor is the Special. Is there any word on when those events will show up in the system?

Hello All,

With apologies for any breach of etiquette, I've posted a question over in the Adventure Card Guild forum about how the organized play works at Gen Con. I'm cross posting here in hopes that more people see my question and can offer some insight. Check it out here:

http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2ucrt?Question-About-Organized-Play-at-Gen-Con

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Good Morning All,

I did the Cosmic Captive Special last year at Gen Con and had a blast. It was my first organized play ever. I'm looking to do a lot more organized play this year, and I'm hoping someone with some experience can help me understand the process.

If I, for example, want to run the season of the shackles, I see sixteen identical events listed at different times, all of which mention the seven available adventures (including the prequel). Would I sign up for multiple sessions of that event, then just choose an adventure level when I arrive at each session? So my first scheduled session I would sit down at the 0-1 (or 0-0, depending on my mood) table, then when I come back for my next session I would sit down a the 0-2 table, then 0-3 at the next session, and so forth?

Is it reasonable to get through a full season in one Con, while still enjoying the Con? Or would I be committing myself to all PACG all the time if I want to run an entire season? (Not that it would be a bad thinig...)

Finally, any thoughts on character class? I ran a Cleric in the special last year, and it was fun enough that I would play it again, but I'm also open to other classes. Are there any classes/roles that seem to be in short supply, or seem to be the most appreciated at conventions?

Thanks for any thoughts, tips, tricks, you can offer!

Here's another fun one for you helpful folks.

I was introducing the game to some friends last night, and we had some trouble with the difference between the Fear spell and the Black Spot spell. I know that Black Spot can be used on someone else's check while Fear can not, but I was not able to explain the difference. The wording between them is similar, neither spell limited to 'your' check and neither spell specifically allowing 'any' check.

Can someone point me to the pertinent rule?

Here's a (probably) silly question for you all:

Is there any reason to NOT utilize the most recent pdf rule book (currently for WotR, unless I'm mistaken) regardless of which base set your're using? I understand that I'll need to use the S&S rule book if I have a question about ships, but other than that, the newest version has most/all the FAQ stuff in it, right?

What do you fine people do?

Good Afternoon, All. Apologies in advance for the "newbie" question. I just joined my first organized play session at Gen Con, and had an absolute blast! (The Cosmic Captive, if anyone else participated.) I earned a few minor rewards, and now am interested in playing more ACG organized play.

My question to you all is, what is the best way for me to try to track down organized play for the ACG in my area? Either something on a regular schedule or cons or whatever? I did some poking around the website, but didn't really find anything. It's quite possible I missed what I'm looking for.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Does discarding an animal card to activate Lini's 2nd power (use a d12 for Str or Dex) count as discarding it for its power, and therefore triggers her 1st power to allow you to shuffle that card back into her deck instead of discarding it?

I assume the answer is 'no', and that her first power only triggers when you use the animal ally for one of the powers printed on that particular card, but I'm not positive.

When you discard a card from the blessings deck to activate a ship's power (such as the Wormwood's 'add 1d12 to your check to defeat a bane or a ship'), does that card become the 'active' blessing? As in, is at now the blessing that is matched by blessings in your hand or copied by Blessing of the Gods? I presume so, but I'm not sure.

Sorry if this has been answered. I searched the FAQ and the forums, but did not find anything.
