Fendel, CSI: Absalom's page

Does a Sense Motive of 50 give any insight other than she seems comfortable here? Any subterfuge?

Fendel continues to study the crone as he ponders non-verbal clues.

Fendel watches and listens with interest.

Perception: 1d20 + 28 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 28 + (4) + 2 = 38
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 30 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 30 + (4) + 2 = 50

Realizing he has no need for such a weapon, Fendel allows the others to determine who it is best suited for.

That is a pretty nice weapon.Wish the DC were higher, as most likely the target you would use the ability on will have a great save. However, hit a spellcaster with it.....??? Just saying that might be a great way to take one out of a fight.

Sorry guys. Still struggling behind the keyboard. Thanks for the bot.

Arcana: 1d20 + 28 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 28 + 2 + (2) = 38

What would the KNOWLEDGE roll be?

No worries. I have been struggling recently as well.

The detective looks to see if either of the belts look unsafe or in need of repair before the team hops on.

Engineering: 1d20 + 28 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 28 + 2 + (4) = 40

Fendel has 30 adamantine tipped arrows we can all use to penetrate the DR.

"Let's attempt to conceal ourselves whilst Renalus attempts to lure them away. Once they've passed, then block the chamber behind them after they have departed."

Can Fendel surmise if these golems might be lured away?

Arcana: 1d20 + 30 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 30 + (2) + 2 = 42

"More than likely we will have to dispatch them. Unless we have a way to facilitate taking control of them or divining the command protocols."

Sorry all. Busy week.

The detective takes aim across the cavern and lets fly a pair of arrows.

+1 Holy Longbow vs BLUE: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30
Damage (DA/Bane): 1d8 + 9 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 3 + (5, 2) = 24
If evil add: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

+1 Holy Longbow vs BLUE: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
Damage (DA/Bane): 1d8 + 9 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 3 + (1, 5) = 22
If evil add: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

I believe the ogre is still flat-footed.

Fendel will use Legacy Weapon to place Bane vs Monstrous Humanoid on his bow (or whatever is most appropriate).

"I am curious to see what that route holds. Slash, if you wouldn't mind reconnoitering the path?"

The detective watches with interest. Never dedicated any time to animal husbandry. Maybe I can pick up a useful technique or two.

Of all the skills Fendel excels at, he only has a +3 in Handle Animal.

While the others attack, the detective takes a moment to study the ogre. Finding a potential weak spot, Fendel fires a pair of arrows.

Surprise Round = Study Target. Round 1, Full Attack

+1 Holy longbow: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 3 + 1 = 19 (...if EVIL, add HOLY: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10)

+1 Holy longbow: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 3 + 1 = 15 (...if EVIL, add HOLY: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8)

"I cannot imagine he could withstand a targeted barrage from all of us simultaneously."

I think we could target him in a 'surprise' round with range. I think we could drop him then approach the goat people.

"While I am certain there are exceptions, I have yet to meet an ogre who was of high moral character. Additionally, this is not their mine. I say we eliminate him then see what transpires."

The detective attempts to puzzle out the purpose of the large machine.

Engineering: 1d20 + 28 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 28 + (5) + 2 = 43

Just a reminder that Fendel has Trapspotter 10'

The detective nods at the suggestion, not having a better plan at the moment.

Perception: 1d20 + 38 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 38 + (1) + 2 = 55
Dungeonerring: 1d20 + 28 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 28 + (1) + 2 = 47
Nature: 1d20 + 28 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 28 + (3) + 2 = 50
Craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (19) + 25 = 44

Trapspotter 10'
See Invisible (Constant)

Leveled and Updated!

New and Improved:
Upgrade Belt of DEX/CON from +2 to +4
Bought Ring of Protection +3

I am here. Can level tonight. Sorry for the absence. Life beat me on initiative in the latest round of combat.

Here

Disable Device: 1d20 + 35 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 35 + (1) + 2 = 53
Disable Device: 1d20 + 35 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 35 + (1) + 2 = 57

Disable Device: 1d20 + 35 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 35 + (2) + 2 = 51

The detective studies the remaining gug for any weaknesses.
Studied Target

{DA/PB/Studied Combat}
+1 Holy Merciful Darkwood composite longbow: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 3 = 20
If EVIL, add...: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

Fendel pulls his wand, but listens to the Feysworn cleric. I would rather keep my reserves for an emergency. He nods his acceptance of the half-elf's offer. "By all means, proceed. I was not going to presume anything."

The detective takes a few moments to address the wounds. He then drinks an extract.

Three charges of Infernal Healing and then drinks False Life.
False Life: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
That tops him off and add 16 temporary hit points.

Fendel takes a moment to study the remaining gug before launching a single arrow.

+1 Holy Longbow {DA/PB/Studied Combat/BANE/PRONE} vs BLUE: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 16 - 4 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 + (4, 5) = 28
If Evil, add..: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

So, for clarification, the yellow gug 5' stepped through the stone? It was in the Northwest corner before, and now it is in the southeast even though there is a wall in the way.

The detective is clearly caught off guard by the gug's speed. Never realized how fast they were. He takes a moment to study how this opponent moves as he takes a step back of his own, then fires an arrow.

+1 Holy Longbow {DA/PB/Studied Combat/BANE} vs YELLOW: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 + (6, 6) = 32
If Evil, add..: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

The detective winces involuntarily as the dark energy washes over him.

Will vs DC 18: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

6 points off of his False Life.

The detective takes a quick step back and snaps off a pair of arrows. Hoping to drop at least one of the gugs, he focuses his attention on the most wounded.

+1 Holy Longbow {DA/PB/Studied Combat/BANE} vs GREEN: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 + (2, 5) = 27
If Evil, add..: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

+1 Holy Longbow {DA/PB/Studied Combat/BANE} vs GREEN: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 + (2, 3) = 22
If Evil, add..: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

Fendel has a Spectral Shroud and probably has a good idea where the bad guy is. He will call out the location as it moves.

The detective takes careful aim and snaps off two arrows in rapid succession.

Longbow vs PINK {DA/PB/Studied Combat/BANE}: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 + (2, 2) = 18

Longbow vs PINK {DA/PB/Studied Combat/BANE}: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + (6, 3) = 27

Fendel concentrates on his bow, imbuing it with a fraction of his occult essence.

{BANE:Gug on his bow.}

Fendel informs the team of the nature of the spoon.

I can just slide it in my Haversack for now unless anyone objects.

"Some silverware. Give me a moment to determine the properties of the magic laid upon them."

The detective muses, Curious. Perchance I can determine the use, though I may be able to guess.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 21 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 21 + (5) + 2 = 37

After determining the area is clear of traps and other threats, the detective scans for magic auras before attempting to open the drawer.

Detect Magic
Disable Device: 1d20 + 35 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 35 + (3) + 2 = 41

The detective moves ahead while seeking out any magic auras as he proceeds, keeping an eye out for traps and other dangers.

Detect Magic

Perception (Trap Spotter 10'): 1d20 + 37 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 37 + (4) + 2 = 51
Stealth: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 2 = 31

The detective pulls another bomb from his haversack and tosses it into the remaining swarm.

Alchemist Bomb: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Fire Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 {*1.5 for AoE=18}

The detective pulls an bomb from his haversack and tosses it into the mass.

Alchemist Bomb: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Fire Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 {*1.5 for AoE=19}

Initiative: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

I posted for the trap and the lock earlier, but here are more.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 35 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 35 + (2) + 2 = 45

Disable Device: 1d20 + 35 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 35 + (5) + 2 = 58

Disable Device: 1d20 + 35 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 35 + (2) + 2 = 45

Nodding at the kind words. "Thank you Arush. While others in The Society have worked hard at blade or spell, I have invested a great deal of time on some of the more mundane threats and dangers."

"Save your resources. I will take a look." The detective kneels at the safe and gets to work on the trap.

TRAP
Disable Device: 1d20 + 35 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 35 + (4) + 2 = 49

LOCK
Disable Device: 1d20 + 35 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 35 + (2) + 2 = 41
