I shall ascend to the shadows and search out my destiny


YOU GAVE UP ON ME MONKEY!!


YAH!


RETIRED!??!!

THAT LAZY MONKEY!

Too lazy to post up on a great PbP, letting me and my eidolon languish in his obscenely-swollen alias rolls ...

IT'S INCONCEIVABLE!


The second book was probably the most interesting IMO. I hope they do it justice!


Get me my blue windbreaker!


Nigel looks at the aged priest, eyes narrowing

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 18


Dr Nigel nods, gesturing at his eidolon

"I fear Azulzu will need healing of an esoteric nature. He cannot benefit from divine healing as we can. Any more wounds and he shall leave this mortal plane."


Nigel stumbles after the adrenaline leaves his body. A spreading stain of red showing under his cloak.

"For spirits their bite is sharp!" He gasps

His tall summoned servitor leaks ichor from several wounds

Nigel is down 7, Azulzu 13


Nigel points to the ectoplasmic horror hear him J9

"Fidelus! Attack!"

The celestial Boston Terrier growls and leaps, golden sparkle dust jetting from his nethers

Bite/trip attempt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Meanwhile, Azulzu lumbers over to the nearest foe K11?

Claw/Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 151d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4


Nigel will 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Azulzu: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Despite the ectoplasmic sliming, Nigel and Azulzu manage to regain their composure

"At them Azulzu!" On M12

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Azulzu's pointy teeth take a bite outta slime ..

Meanwhile, Nigel summons his faithful celestial hound

"Fidelus! Aid me!"

MAP

right on; just need Wod's placement.

sorry for my own slow pace of late; kinda hectic IRL b!&~&$!! the last week or so.

*groan* Oh I know that feeling ...


OK I10 for Nigel, L11 for Azulzu


I'm on iPhone, comp was acting odd so I shut down and didn't get to update. Put me in back azulzu in front


Nigel looks over at Myron

"I might not have brought a battering ram, but I do have my faithful servant Azulzu. Perhaps he can batter the door down?"


Nigel enters as well.

"by Pharasma's Throne!"


Nigel pets Fidelus' head and dismisses the panting white pitbull with a wave of his bony hand. He picks his way doubiously through the mire and corpses towards the filthy ladder, Azulzu by his side.

"Forsooth Lady Alinya, this place is MOST unsanitary."


Nigel gestures

"At them, my minions!"

Fidelus and Azulzu move to attack

I think they can make it

Azulzu's claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Fidelus' bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Don't know if 'trip' would pry the stirge off, but ...

CMB (trip): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18


Nigel waves his arms theatrically again

"Acere respergo!"

More acid sprays from his outstretched hands

Aiming acid splash on M11 flying stirge

Ranged touch1d20 ⇒ 131d3 ⇒ 3

Azulzu looks for a target

Going whoever's closest

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Fideulus the Heavenly Pitbull looks for a likely target

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Trip if hits CMB: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Nigel; Wod up to bat.

Nigel waves his arms theatrically

"Acere respergo!"

An arc of sour-smelling green liquid springs from his bony hands

Aiming acid splash on M11 flying stirge

Ranged touch: 1d20 ⇒ 131d3 ⇒ 1

Azulzu sees the large brood rat and decides to attack that one next

Going for King Rat at E11

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Trip if hits CMB: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18


dungeonmaster heathy wrote:
Nigel....

ACK! Sorry, I should have checked this earlier...

Nigel stares at the rats, eyes bulging

"Azulzu! Attack!"

On F9

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

As Azulzu attacks, Nigel readies to summon his celetial hound

"Fidelus! Come to me!"

A shining white pit bull materializes and jumps on a ratG9

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Trip if hits CMB: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18


Nigel stays by the group, Azulzu by his side

K11-12

We can NPC him by committee like we do in Aubrey's game...

Nigel looks around, distaste clear on his face. "You would think they would have re-built in honor of those guards that gave their lives here instead of letting is collapse in upon their corpses." He gives a dramatic shudder. Apologies to his player, it's what came to mind.

Its all good. I am trying to get caught up on 166 (!!) new posts since I had a chance to participate. Lotta bad stufff going down, will try and keep up


Nigel strokes his goatee while listening to the information

"V ... related to foul necromancy.."

Knowledge(arcana): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Linguistics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5


Ugh. I sense the 'NIEKROWMANCER' guy in this mob ...

Nigel hauls his lanky frame up straight.

"Confidence, my friends! Confidence! Mobs like this feed on fear! We must show we are fearless in the face of their anger!"

Nigel strides towards the mob, head high

Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 9

"We should certainly talk to the Father. Otherwise we are perilously close to tomb-robbing. I am certain that he will see and understand our need. Now, if everyone is safe and well, perhaps we should repair to the Professors house, for a proper breakfast and to plan our next actions?"

Heathy, that was an awesome little scene. Loved it :)

Nigel straightens his cloak and slicks back his long dark mane of hair with a theatrical sweep of his bony hand. He dismisses Azulzu with a wave.

"I agree, Lady Alinya. In this strange land, we must be the souls of propriety. If we are not, mayhap they will begin to blame us for the untoward events. Including the Father will give us weight with the local peasantry."


Nigel looks about, panting

"A nest of *pant* undead corpses! I *pant* guess I should have expected this in Ustalav, *pant* but I thought the stories were *pant* hyperbole!"

Should have a bit of time tomight to update.


Azulzu will full attack George

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

CMB roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Nigel casts Acid splash on N11

Range touch roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 191d3 ⇒ 2

"Foul gnome from deepest hells! Azulzu! Attack!"

House rule:

re: I just read that the summoner can only summon stuff if his eidolon isn't summoned......
I'm handwaving this. I don't think it's any good.

man, really? I tell ya, this class ain't so versatile. Sorry bout the full attack screw up


Azulzu will move to O11 and will attack 'George' at 09 (has 10' reach)

The lagre goblin-faced eidolon bares its many sharp pointy teeth and advances on the undead mesmerist

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Azulzu has trip if it hits

Trips/CMB rolls: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Nigel summons his celestial hound

"Fidelus! Aid me in my time of need!"

Dog Stats:

Spoiler:
HP 13/Ac13 t 12 ff 11/bite 1d20+3/1d6+3 & trip/cmb+3

A shining hound with a collar that looks like a golden halo runs into the fray

Will have Fidelus attack zombie at N11

Bite and CMB trip if hit:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19


dungeonmaster heathy wrote:
oh, and does he want to attack zombie in N 11 or P 11?......

Say P11

"Smite the unholy walking corpses O Azulzu! Send them back to Uragotha's embrace!"


Gor blimey! 40 new posts. Well, here's goes nuttin'

Nigel blanches when he sees Wod adjust George's skull.

"Foul revenant! Azulzu! Attack!"

I am hurrying here, going to be real spotty with posts up to weekend, so if I am lagging please someone take my move

Azulzu lumbers forward, grinning evilly

Attacks (CCB): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 101d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7


Nigel peers intently at the tableaux, trying to make sense of 'George' and his new friends. He strokes his silver-shot goateee absently.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

"Astounding. More revenants from beyond the veil of death."


dungeonmaster heathy wrote:
Nigel's up to bat.

Wicked sorry, rough couple of days. The acid splash sounds good

"Disgusting! I hate insects, especially ones you can ride!"


N16 for Nigel sounds good

The thin summoner gulps, his large Adam's Apple bobbing like a yoyo under the tight skin of his neck. He looks around the scene with his protruding eyes.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 2

"It would appear that Wod already knows the answer, or is as curious as I am. Shall we investigate further?" he asks cheerfully as he strides off to follow Wod and Rholf,...

"Indeed Master Drrod, you have pierced the very crux of the matter! Our noble savage Wod mayhap might pierce the confusions with his admirable directness. Let us follow post haste!"

Nigel's skinny legs propel him quickly after the others


Nigel moves towards the last zombie and releases another green orb of acid:

Move to N8, Acid splash, ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d3 ⇒ 3

"Back to your grave unclean one!"


Castiel of Fangwood wrote:

I took Nigel’s turn (unless Pat is about and wants to revise it); we figured it would take too long (1 minute) to summon the eidolon, so I had him summon a celestial dog to attack the nearest zombie – M6 to attack zombie M5 looks like a good spot. It hit, damaged, but failed to trip.

If the dog is in M6, Castiel won’t take a step.

All good with this.

Nigel gasps in horror

"Ghouls from beyond the grave!"

Will cast Acid Splash on nearest

Ranged touch atk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 201d3 ⇒ 3

Doggie will trip another if possible

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 vs zombie CMD.

Nice call on the MSI. I had totally blanked on that


Ugh I gotta bail

Heathy and crew:

Spoiler:
Nigel jogs after the two, and comes up as the prowlers approach. Hoping to scare them (and to get his defenses up), he summons Azulzu

"Creature of the elements! Arise and serve me!"

If needed, Azulzu will attack/defend/subdue whoever needs it


Nigel tosses and turns, then wakes and sits up suddenly

"The horror! The mind-crawling horror!" He shreiks, awaking his roomate

I can't remember who was sleeping with Nigel

He gets up and looks around wildly

man 40 posts to catch up. Jinkies!

Untrained K(local), K(history), 1d20;1d20

Nigel, too, is feeling the wear and tear of the days' proceedings.....he finds an interesting story, though, about fishing for big assed sturgeon in the river that bisects the town.

Nigel yawns and heads to bed

"Farewell fellow travellers, until the morrow!"

Whoever bunks with him is treated to a cacophonous snoring

Very busy this weekend, so if needed, feel free to have Nigel GMPCed.


Nigel gets lost in the reading library

He's able to notice a book or two that have been recently perused; some bookmarked, or slightly ajar. No secret doors that are opened by moving a bookend, or anything of that nature.

Nigel notes the titles of the bookmarked and disturbed tomes.

"What was the professor researching .."


dungeonmaster heathy wrote:

Wod feels much better now that the 2 mm sliver of porcelain is out of his meaty foot.

What are you guys......researching in the library?......

Yup, searching for clues

Nigel gives the library a perusal, his hooked nose arched as if smelling the clues out.

"Hmm, yes .."

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 18


EEK! 30 posts!

Nigel, silent since the will reading, pipes up

"I certainly would like to peruse the books the good professor has entrusted us with."

He looks at the tomes revealed by the young Miss Lorrimor with an academic's greed

Know(arcana): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11


Sally forth!

Alinya looks to be on the verge of tears, and not up to saying anything at the graveside. She starts to speak but the words seem to stick in her throat. With a muffled sob it is all suddenly too much and she buries her face against, of all people, Nigel's shoulder.

Nigel awkwardly comforts the sobbing woman

"There there, it will be all right."

For once the polysylabbic summoner is at a loss for words.


Perception 1d20 ⇒ 5

Nigel, looking very weepy and emotional at graveside, barely notices the large goofy-looking dog run by, let alone anything else

My dear fellow! I never said you were stupid, merely a bit ....excitable. You must learn to make your anger your servant not your master.
