El Garrapata's page

That was a lot of fun, guys! Thanks for playing and indulging my nonsense!

Garrapata moves down to the southern crusader and draws a potion of cure light wounds, intending to hand it to the crusader or make him drink it next round!

I accept your burning touch, friend Dax! (and the nonlethal damage!)

"Ho HO! Your batty friends DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU, GOATY!" El Garrapata decides to smite Blue with great enjoyment! He moves to Red if Blue drops!

Cold Iron Brass Knuckle Flurry with Power!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 for 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17 damage!
Cold Iron Brass Knuckle Flurry with Power!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 for 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15 damage!
Cold Iron Brass Knuckle Flurry with Power!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 for 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17 damage!
Cold Iron Brass Knuckle Flurry with Power!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 for 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 damage!

Garrapata's eyes go wide as the two teammates eviscerate the demon. "GOOD JOB!" He slips his cold iron brass knuckles on and uses a swift action to enter Dragon Style! He moves in front of Dax, shielding her from the goaty fiends!

"Great MELTY HUGS! That DEMON WAS STABBY!" Garrapata lumbers to his feet smiling at Alexandra. "THANKS!" He sees the demon menacing Dax and Kargen. "Heal or HUG?" He chooses and turns back to Alexandra. "Help the crusaders if you can! I'LL GIVE STABBY SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!" He moves toward the Babau!

STabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 6 ⇒ (16) + 2 - 6 = 12

Garrapata stabilize check: 1d20 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 5 = 3

Don't worry about El G, he's not going to die for a few rounds.

Grapple to maintain Pin: 1d20 + 21 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 21 + 5 = 39
Grapple to damage Mr Squirmy: 1d20 + 21 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 21 + 5 = 27 for 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 damage!

Garrapata attempts to hold fast! "ANy help with the pokey one would be APPRECIATED!"

Um my CMD vs Grapple is 32. Honeychild ain't going anywhere.

Garrapata grunts as the acid burns and a new demon appears. He decides, since hugging the thing to death isn't working, to reposition the demon to be between him and the other demon and maintain his pin!

Reposition: 1d20 + 21 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 21 + 5 = 41
Maintain Pin: 1d20 + 21 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 21 + 5 = 40

No, I just always forget I can!

Unarmed damage to the demon: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9!

Garrapata tries to keep the demon pinned!

Pin!: 1d20 + 21 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 21 + 5 = 45
Pin!: 1d20 + 21 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 21 + 5 = 42

Sorry, day at conference turned into night with icy wind and power outages.

Garrapata attempts to pin the monster!

PIN!: 1d20 + 21 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 21 + 5 = 37
PIN!: 1d20 + 21 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 21 + 5 = 42

Garrapata rolls his eyes while grappling the demon. "IF I DON'T HOLD ONTO THE DEMON, IT WILL KILL THE CRUSADERS. I HAVE IT, GO SAVE THE OTHERS!"

Four charges from my wand in the downtime.

Garrapata cries out in shock and anger as the horrid demonic thing spears the smaller blue person! "DEMON CUR! YOU FACE THE WRATH OF EL GARRAPATA!" As a swift action, he enters Dragon Style and charges the demon!

Charging Grapple!: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 21 + 2 = 41

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Garrapata grunts as the demon bee stings, but he doesn't slacken his grip, choosing to pin the demon bee!

Grapple: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38
Grapple: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31

Garrapata nods when he sees the wasps. "Demon Insects. Seems right." He readies an action to grab one when it comes close enough!

Grapple the Wasp!: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35

"The WALL is the NATURAL ENEMY of the GARRAPATA. Most distressing." He offers to break down the door if no one has tricksy thieving skills.

Garrapata tries to remove the painting to crawl through to the other side!

Strength: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

2 more charges of my wand, then!

No worries! I have my wand still! Garrapata just always wanted to be a Mom...

Garrapata hands his wand over to anyone who can make it magic. 3 charges used!

Garrapata looks fondly down at the green vines erupting from his blue armor. "They are MY LEAFY GREEN CHILDREN! I SHALL LOVE THEM AND TEACH THEM TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE!" He winces a bit when they break through. "BIRTH HURTS, A LITTLE."

Garrapata AoO Punch!: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 for 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 damage!

Garrapata sees the big demon bird flap away and shakes his head. "Oh no YOU DON'T!" He moves into the room and grabs at the Bird again!

Grapple vs Big Bird: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27

If the first grapple hits, using the second to pin the vrock!

I'm growing VINES?!? Sweet!

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 Garrapata momentarily looks down at his magnificient plant-luster and cries out "EEGADS, MAN! I AM GROWING LIFE!"

Garrapata decides aggressively hugging is the way to happiness. As a SWIFT action he gains Pummeling Style! He grabs the Vrocker twice!

Greater Grapple vs The Vrock: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (12) + 21 = 33
Greater Grapple vs The Vrock: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (19) + 21 = 40

"Great STUFFED DEMON BIRDS! It is a MIGHTY HUGGER!" Garrapata bellows!

Garrapat heads toward the eastern door and tries the lock.

"THURL is the dwarf CAPTAIN, right? WONDER WHERE HE'S GOTTEN OFF TO?" Garrapata nods to the PFS man and heads off to the Lodge indicated. In the wrong direction. Once he's stopped, he nods and grins and follows the others.

4 charges from my wand, please!

Garrapata blushes. "Blood and FLESH HEAL! But friends, FRIENDS ARE WORTH BLEEDING FOR!" He grins.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Seeing that he's not doing his full damage, Garrapata draws his cold iron brass knuckles and punches the demon goat!

CI Brass Knuckle!: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32 for 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 damage!

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 +2 against sleep effects, paralysis effects, and stunning effects

Garrapata hears Alexandra cry out and shouts with a booming voice "NO! LEAVE HER ALONE GOATY BEAST!"

Swift action to DRAGON STYLE, then CHARGE Red Goat!

Charge!: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 2 = 35 for 1d10 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 damage!

Oil of align weapon (good) for me!

El Garrapata nods and rushes inside where angels dare to tread!

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Where ARE THE CRUSADERS? Did we miss them?" Garrapata looks around, but cannot see any sign of them.

El Garrapata grins. "I would BE HAPPY TO HELP TRANSPORT HEROES TO THE BATTLE!"

""We of the Blue" I think I love this phrase, Dax!

"Great FLAMING EXCUSES! Your friends and ALLIES NEED YOU NOW! GET OFF YOUR DUFF AND LET'S FIGHT HORNY DEMONS, PEOPLE!" El Garrapata thunders!

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Can't really help. El G is ready to run!

Inter-scene healing - 2 charges from my wand!

"No need for your horses! I will run!" El Garrapata trots off in a southerly direction before being called back and set on the right path.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Seeing no other alternative, El Garrapata pounds the blue ooze with his blue ooze pounding fists! Swift to Dragon Style!

Unarmed flurry power attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 for 1d10 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 3 = 18 damage!

Unarmed flurry power attack, Crit?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 for 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 additional damage!

I use my wand of cure light wounds with anyone who can cast it, taking average 5 healing from each charge for 9 charges!

Garrapata lets out a whistle. "WHOO! THAT LOOKS BURNY!" He hears Kargen and looks at Dax, waiting until she acts to take his turn!

Garrapata sighs. What this hothead needs is a good bath. Then he notices he's standing on a dock...

Grapple, greater, maintain: 1d20 + 21 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 21 + 5 = 31 He drops the woman in the water! Then he moves through the crowd up to Teal!

Sorry, I haven't noticed the same issue. I do know from much experience that waiting on anyone in a Special is a bad idea, since it moves so very quickly and the level of reward directly depends on how many encounters we get through. Plus it's more fun to experience more in this scenario. This is one of my favorites and I definitely want to see us get as much out of it as we can.

Edit: I think this is just an issue of time zones, now that I think on it. It happens sometimes that a player lives or works during a time when the GM is asleep or inactive. It's not personal and it's not intentional, but it is what it is. In the future you can ask everyone what timezone they're in and choose players/GMs based on that synchronicity. It may alleviate the issue you're seeing.

Styfis, timed specials are timed. And the time is Not Very Long. If you cannot post, the GM will and must bot you. If you want to be botted better, create a spoiler in your profile that has instructions for combat, role-playing, etc, but fair or not, the GM MUST keep the action going. Or else this special is going to be Very Not Fun for all of us.

"NAUGHTY MAN, CEASE YOUR POINTY ATTACKING!" Garrapata thunders, deciding squeezing a man is the better part of valor.

Grapple the NAUGHTY MAN! Greater Grapple!: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31 vs CMD
Grapple the NAUGHTY MAN! Greater Grapple!: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36 vs CMD

If the first one hits, use the second to pin the naughty man!

You're right. I read it as first hit, but it does say first strike. Noted!

El Garrapata takes the wounds with nary a notice! He shakes his head sadly. "NAUGHTY MAN, YOU FACE THE WRATH OF EL GARRAPATA! LET YOUR NAUGHTINESS COME TO A SWIFT END!"

Swift action to enter Dragon Style! Power Attack Flurry of Non-lethal strikes!
