Drorlud's page

Thank you to everyone for being so helpful with my first campaign. It was a lot of fun! I hope to do more with you all in future!

Drorlud just shrugs, facial expression unchanging Makes no difference to me, none of my business, you carry on being you!

I'll leave it if its all the same to you? doesn't look like it did my companions any favours!

what happened to you both? I thought we had lost you for a minute there!

seeing his companions eyes glaze over Drorlud runs over and desperately tries to shake them out of their trance. it seems to have no effect.

What have you done with them? shouting at Roidira.

Stoneleance? any ideas pal? guess we need to look for a way to get them out of this trance, maybe back at the town there will be an apothecary? wierd magic curses isnt my specialty!

No chance, I'm not going to be turned into one of them....

that was annoying, it showed my post. i even managed to edit it and see the edited result. a few mins later the site was down and gone!

was hoping it was still up in my browser to copy, but alas no!, guess at least i didnt lose any critical hits :D

stupid brain, cant remember exact wording, but this is close enough
Oh Eamon, you are going to get yourself zapped again!

If you count "true knowledge" as knowing without a doubt that something is true then you are right we cant. but how we define knowledge is via observation and experimentation, the whole of society collectively adds to these observations and we further our knowledge. it may not be a perfect system of working, and it may be that we are mistaken about things. but I feel it works a lot better than just staring into space all day claiming that everything is nothing........ and I must politely decline your offer. I have my own water thanks

and takes a sip out of his skin

urgh. i edited my post a few mins before the site went down, looks like something went wrong there. will redo my post when i get to work.

Why are we even entertaining what this thing has to say, look at what its done to Eamon and its "followers"

now, if only there was some way to kill it.....
perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

int check to maybe help with the dialog?
int: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Being the resourceful type, I feel Drorlud may have liked the opportunity to relieve the dead of any...... unneeded possessions?, and possibly to search the chapel style room?. also, am I able to heal by just resting? or did Lynns spell (THANK YOU!!) heal everything?. either way, ill do a perception check for the area we just entered!)

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

With no way to tactically retreat, and seeing their stupor start to recede Drorlud attempts to disable (not injure) the last remaining cultist who is trying to hurt him

Rapier-non lethal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

If nothingness ceases to be then "something" must remain!

There is no reasoning with these fools!

Drorlud moves in to try and save Lynn from being bludgeoned to death, and strikes with his rappier

Rapier: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

As the green cultist delivers a massive blow to Stonelance, Drorlud continues behind and strikes again with his rapier. hoping to slow down the assault

Rapier flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 2 = 24
Damage sneak: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 2) + 1 = 4

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21
Crit damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

as the cultists approach the exit of the corridor, Drorlud carefully aims his rapier and strikes

Rapier flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
Damage sneak: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6) + 1 = 13

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

oddly the map wasnt updated until i tried to view it on a different pc....

Drorlud readies his weapon and says
We should let them come to us, maybe we can out position them

What on earth is she up to...

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

DetectTraps: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Does anyone think these stones look like they might do something?

using his full movement to get round the back of the blue phantom and assist Abraxi Drorlud strikes with his rappier

Rappier flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 8
Damage sneak: 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + 1 + 1 = 9

Unable to get to a phantoms flank Drorlud strikes again (purple) hoping to make the best of the situation and moved 5ft hoping to be able to position himself better next turn

Rappier: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Crit comfirm: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

ok im going to try to strike with my sword then use acrobatics to move out of immediate contact with the phantom, it looks like I can move at half speed for this action and it is legal to do a move and attack in the same turn, if any of this isnt right then please feel free to move me back etc

As the (purple) phantom brushes past him Drorlud strikes with his rappier, then leaps backwards

Rappier: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

I wont add anything to my turn, was hoping to see what everyone else decided to do first!

Well done big mouth, hope your god can back it up!

Whilst drawing his rappier, unable to see a decent position to use as cover (and under the assumption that cover will be mostly useless against these foes anyway) he moves round to the side of Eamon, ready for a frontal assault

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Eamon, look a little closer, have they been crying? A very odd thing for a group of people who seem to bare no emotion!

better just have one more quick look around before we go
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Drorlud puts his weapon away and takes a second to compose himself, walks over to Abraxi and taps him on his (good) shoulder Sorry you took the brunt of that big fella, least we dealt with it quickly eh?

after filling his waterskin he takes a look at the magic boots... hmm.... not sure id want to burden myself with someone elses unknown magic..... ready whenever you guys are!

Im terribly sorry if this is getting frustrating for people. im slightly confused by your damage roll though Eamon, do I not get to also roll the extra d6 for sneak attack too? ill do both anyway and can pick the correct outcome!

confirm crit: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 7
crit dmg without: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6
crit dmg with: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

ahh well easy come easy go!

Seeing he still has the flank of the lizard covered well and the lizards attention is still on Abraxi Drorlud takes the opportunity to strike again

Sneak Attack:: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 26
Damage:: 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + 1 + 1 = 10

Thanks. didnt have my rules with me so was relying on google for some of the bits.

Thank you that is very useful!

Drorlud dodges right then left to get round to the back of the lizard whilst he is grappling with Abraxi

rappier poised to strike he lunges at the lizard

Sneak Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15
+3 for finesse (dex isntead of str) +1 Lynns bonus. sorry this is all new to me, trying to piece together everything from the rules.
I have no idea what the lizards AC is but i shall roll damage as if success

Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
(no idea if its possible to make it auto add the results of 2 dice, but result is 7) So my thinking here is that the rappier is 1d6+1 and sneak attack is also 1d6+1 and lynns bonus also applies +1 to damage?. feel free to tell me this is all wrong :D

Drorlud moves sw and readies his rappier, keeping just to the side of everyone else hoping to get an opportunity to perform a sneak attack on the lizard

apologies if I get anything wrong here, is my first time in a combat sequence!, if Im blocking progression by not being online at the right time feel free to have me perform something sensible. Im sure ill learn from it anyway

with a slightly concerned look on his face Does anyone have any kind of detect / prevent magic abilities?. From what the miner said it sounds like whatever we are going to face today could get inside our heads, would be good to be prepared for this

Drorlud waits for her response, but at the same time scouting the room for anything else that may be of interest

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Sorry for not posting all weekend. My pc monitor died and will struggle to post on mobile. Will post when I get to work in the morning!

Eager to redeem himself from his previous misdemeanor Drorlud turns to the other two and says Well, here goes he walks over to the lady singing, waiting for an appropriate gap in her song to speak with her.

whilst not even remotely impressed with her singing he still attempts to compliment her on it and her choice of attire

Bluff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

15+ seems a reasonable DC for that?

So now he has her attention

I dont suppose you know of a Vashti al-Amiyyah who is known to frequent this place do you?

do I need a diplomacy roll here? I have no points in it (maybe i can add 1 for charisma?) but here goes....

Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Feeling a little annoyed at getting caught, Drorlud stands around waiting for the others just staring at the floor. eventually they are all outside.

Sorry guys, I guess old habits die hard, busting myself out of a cell wasnt in my plan for this evening!

Watching Lynn tease Eamon breaks the tension, and even elicits a laugh out of him.

I think I agree with Lynn, have a go at getting the rest of the info tonight if we can, will allow us all to sleep on it and think through anything we may have missed, rather than half form a plan in the morning..... On the subject of sleeping, I havent just ruined our chances at getting a bed for the night anywhere have I? would imagine a lot of places are full during the festival!

Drorlud sees that everyone seems to have it under control. approaches one of the gambling tables and tries his luck, hoping to stack the odds in his favour a little bit...

Slight of hand: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Bluff: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

So.... do I lose my hands now or something? :p

Walks over to Stonelance Next round of drinks says he strikes out!

Seeing the expression on Lynns face Dont worry, I thought the same, and to be honest there is still something that doesnt sit right with me about it all.

After they are comfortably seated, he looks towards Eamon Guess you are right, probably is my round. Come and give me a hand buddy. whats everyone having?

Once at the bar and waiting for the drinks to be poured Drorlud scans the bar to see if he can spot anyone that looks like they might know something

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

He thinks he spots some potentially likely people please fill in the blanks, i will carry on as if success but will leave as much open as possible. and decides that once he has put the drinks down that he will try to blend into the crowed and see if he can overhear their conversation

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

And with these dice rolls, likely trips up and spills their drinks in the process!

worried that he made it a bit too obvious he tried to make it look like he dropped something

Bluff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Feeling slightly embarrassed at suspecting there was something more sinister going on here. please accept my sincerest of apologies, I didn't mean to insinuate that you had an ulterior motive here, It would be my pleasure to investigate what is going on with these guys!

Drorluds eyes light up at the chance of a visit to either the tavern or the gambling hall.

Maybe we could go to the tavern for an after dinner drink? not sure how receptive to locals are to foreigners, but is worth a try.

Thank you very much for your hospitality High Priestess, I hope we will return to you with some useful information.

Drorlud, whom also holds no religion secretly admires what he has heard about the Roidirans using knowledge to guide their choices, and wonders what her real issue with them is?

Without meaning to sound disrespectful, but what are these acts of disorder these Roidirans have been committing? as from what ive heard so far it sounds like you dislike that they have a differing philosophy to your own, and that alone shouldn't be reason to take issue with someone. he ponders for a minute that this may get him in trouble.... Of course, I am willing to help with an investigation into such matters, I just would like to know what they have been doing

SenseMotive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Drorlud quietly listens, knowing hes unable to contribute to the religious discussion going on, he does chip in with the odd quip about the area

KnowledgeLocal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

making up his gaps in knowledege with a little erm..... improvisation

Bluff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Drorlud being naturally cynical in almost every situation isn't so sure that directly handing her the message was for the best, and will be keeping an eye on the priestess

SenseMotive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

when out of ear shot of her he reveals to the group what he found from his scouting prior to the performance

"I didn't have time to mention before, and Im not sure of its relevance, but I overheard people in the crowd saying things such as: 'Will They do what they did yesterday?'".

Looking forward to a decent meal more than anything though Drorlud suggests everyone goes to find somewhere to get cleaned up

Drorlud returns from the crowd, he will reveal any information gleaned later. and with not a word spoken joins in with some acrobatic support

Acrobatics : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Looks across to Stonelance. "This looks like its right up your street pal!" nodding towards the machine.

"I'm going to blend into the crowd for a little while, see if I can overhear anything of importance"

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Linguistics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Linguistics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

"We should probably go and explore the area, see if we can work out where the Priestess is." after a moments pause and a quick scan of the area "Is it really necessary for there to be this many guards? seems a little excessive if you ask me, we should watch our backs, some of those guards look pretty heavy duty, not the normal city watch!"

So, I have rolled a number of actions in my last post. is it right that over a 10 is probably a success for an easy task? wasn't sure if 11 on that religion would give me anything. and im not sure if how I left my statements open was correct? my thought on this is that if I succeed a roll like that then the GM fills in the rest.... but please feel free to prod me when im doing things incorrectly!

Drorlud approaches the group

Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 and seems to already have the letter in his hand. After reading it quietly for a second he pauses in thought

knowledge religion Roidirans: 1d20 ⇒ 11
knowledge religion White Feather: 1d20 ⇒ 7

knowledge local High Priestess Amal al-Sahba: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
knowledge local Qadiran festival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

"Hmm I'm sure ive heard of the Roidirans. but not 100%. however I believe I can provide you all with some information about the High Priestess and the festival"

Ahh. thanks! I have done this..

How are dice rolled in the game? im sure there is a forum tag or similar for this, just i cant see any kind of "noob guide" for this kind of stuff

Im sorry, im not entirely sure what you mean by this? and who is Lynn?

He stares out into the water over the stern of the ship, cursing under his breath. Weeks of meticulous planning all ruined by one stupid guard. The Barons gem collection should have been split up and sold by now. Instead I’m back on this boat with bruised ribs and a bruised ego. I guess at least I still have my gear…… and my freedom, It could have been worse, instead of handing me over they just gave me a beating and threw me out onto the street, there has to be a better way to make my fortune than this!
