Eldon Cade's page

Eldon watches anxiously after administering the potion to Tykent and lets out his held breath as they start showing signs of life. He smiles broadly at Tykent's words and reaches out a hand to help them up. "Yeah, let's get out of here before more of those tree things turn up."

Eldon carefully moves to Tykent and Yngvilda; checking them for potions. Finding one on Yngvilda's belt he looks between the two of them trying to assess who is in more danger.

Making his mind up, he pops the cork of the bottle and gently tips the contents into Tykent's mouth.

I checked with Yngvilda before taking the potion.

Stepping back away from the tree creature Eldon drops another bolt into his crossbow and takes aim.

Sorry for not posting for a while, I got logged out of the the website and didn't notice.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16
Diplomacy (Fortune): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17

This is about as good as my rolling gets at the moment.

Eldon pulls out his crossbow and fits a bolt into the weapon.

I thought we were resting, so I reset Eldon's spells. No idea what he has left so no magic.

In case you are waiting for Eldon, he is done for this round as there is nothing useful he can do until the door is open.

Eldon hurries over to one of the arrow slits and tries to figure out if he can aim a spell at one or both of the Kobolds.

Can ranged attacks be made through one of the slits? If so what penalty would apply?

The vestments would be good for Eldon, but I don't want to hog all the loot. If no one else wants them he'll take them.

@GM: How far are we from earning the second chronicle?

@GM: How far are we from earning the second chronicle?

"Hey, did you guys hear that?" Eldon looks around the room, speaking a quick incantation as he does.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Casting detect Magic and looking around the room. Eldon would like the metamagic rod, I suspect Penny is interested too.

Eldon concentrates on defending himself from the undead creature and so is unable to focus on any magic. He does his best to menace the creature as best he can with his small dagger.

Total defence again for Eldon. Now that he has a weapon in hand he will be providing a flank for Cwm.

Unable to move away, Eldon draws his dagger and takes up a defensive posture.

Drawing dagger and total defence.

Eldon jumps back next to Tykent bringing his hands up infront of him and splaying his fingers. After a few moments of chanting and an arc of electricity bursts forth toward the undead creature.

Electricity Damage (DC: 14): 4d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 2) = 6

Five foot step and casting Burning Hands.

Eldon moves to a more advantageous position and sends a couple of force missiles at the wight threatening Yngvilda.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 3 + 1 = 9
Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

But the creatures clumsy counter attack causes Eldon's shot to go wide.

Casting Elemental Ray.

Pushing through the waste high water Eldon moves forward to get a better line of sight on the creature.

Double move 20 ft.

Smiling at the tingling sensation of the electricity flowing through him, Eldon raises a hand for the others to stop. "Good call Yngvilda, definitely some sort of zappy trap here."

Eldon has 10 Electricity resistance, so no damage.

Muttering the words to a minor spell Eldon scans the room. Seeing no sign of magic he says "Penny's right, there is no magic in here, but I could go first. Getting zapped doesn't hurt me as much anymore."

Eldon has a small amount of Electricity resistance, so can go first.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 21
Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Eldon waves for Yngvilda to continue, "I'm ready, only way to know what's inside is to open it."

Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 17
Electricity Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Move into range and cast Elemental Ray at the creature.

No purchases for Eldon, he's ready to go.

"Very well, let's go find this tomb." Eldon says. He goes to start leaving but as he stands he looks pained for a moment. Looking at Eupaphenia he says "Free spell casting you say? Any chance you could heal this?" he gestures at the open bite wound from the drake.

When the room falls silent Eldon looks up from his examination of his recently acquired wounds to see Yngvilda kneeling. "What? You want us to go kill that thing?" Eldon looks to the others and catches Yngvilda looking expectantly at him. "Well it does sound like an interesting adventure and Sir Eldon Cade does have a nice ring to it."
