Galin Solatar's page

I hope you're okay and that things start to look up, first and foremost. I've loved being in this game, you gave us all a great experience and I appreciate all the time and effort you put in for all of us.

Anyone else need to prepare before we go in?

Yeah, save that for when we really need it.[ooc]
Galin begins to pray, murmuring spell after spell as he calls upon Arqueros to protect him in the coming battle. [ooc]Casting Bless on everyone, Protection from Evil on Hope, Ironskin and Entropic Shield on Galin, and Weapon of Awe on Galin's bow. Once that's done, he'll also activate Blessing of Good on his bow.

I have a ton of stuff to cast before we walk in. Does anyone not have deflection bonuses to AC, I can give them Protection from Evil.

Galin nods, Don't risk yourself by going in alone and hoping to draw them out. Once we've fully prepared, we will attack together.

Just a heads up, I'll be travelling until Sunday and probably will only be able to check the boards about once per day, so my posts may be a bit less frequent than normal.

Perhaps. Galin nods, But he will have that chance when we are armed and prepared for battle. I have no trust that he will give himself up now.

Galin jumps for a second as he remembers that Valissa and Hope have just joined their group. Vhane was a crusader who turned traitor and may have been responsible for the original fall of Drezen. We met what remained of his brother already, he asked us to kill Staunton, which would put him to rest.

Galin swallows down bile as he looks around the chamber. For as much as this feels like a trap, we need to go through that door and end this before they kill more innocent people.

Given how heavily trapped and guarded the place has been so far, it's probably not a great idea to go places without scouting them first. Typically Blink is much more responsive than this, so personally I'm willing to wait a bit longer before we move ahead without them.

Any objections to starting with the left door and going from there?

Galin shrugs, moving quietly along the hallway and keeping his eyes forward as he responds, Probably, we've gotten attacked in just about every room of this place so far.

I've looked into it in the past, but with how many feats it costs and the fact that Galin's melee stats are quite good due to having already picked up weapon finesse and fencing grace for his rapier it doesn't seem worth it for him.

That's fine with me. Ideally Galin doesn't actually have to fight in melee combat, since he's a stronger archer than hand to hand combatant, but he's still tankier than most of the party if it comes to that.

Galin nods and takes the portion he is passed, Thank you, but who is Jehotek?

I'm fine with Door #2. Galin has 2 extra attacks he gets from feats, one from normal rapid shot and one from the mythic version, so he'll almost always have an attack at -5, but if haste gets cast he can either take another at -10 or change his usage of mythic rapid shot and increase his accuracy on the others.

How would the rules on Haste and similar effects impact archery feats? Galin already has both the normal and mythic variants of rapid shot and manyshot, which significantly increase the number of arrows he shoots per round, so would those attacks be penalized/restricted, or only those granted by other effects like Haste?

Otherwise everything seemed good, I'll replace Amazing Initiative with a feat tonight.

Oops, I opened the tab to ask about this awhile ago and left it, so you must've posted in that window. Thank you for posting those!

Where do we find the buff to our traits? As Valissa said, they aren't on d20pfsrd or the player's guide.

Galin shrugs, We've been clearing floors as we go, but for our safety we retreat back to camp every night rather than rest in a place we haven't fully explored. For all we know, the enemies remaining have ways around the keep that we don't know about, and until they've all been eliminated I don't consider any part of the fortress safe.

I'm not sure about clearing out the rest of the fortress in one day, it but we can certainly try.

Welcome to the group!

Yeah Blink, you've been basically acting as a full melee character, which is definitely scary given your stats. Galin has been staying out of melee range for the most part because archery is so strong, but if you'd like I can have him fight up close more often since he's relatively well-equipped for that too and he'd provide another target that isn't you.

That is a terrifying thing to learn after the last few levels, my condolences in advance to Blink now that negative levels are being used correctly.

Welcome to the game Valissa!

Galin sighs in relief as the minotaurs hit the ground, before considering Blink's wounds. That does seem to be a recurring theme of the last few days. Do you need to rest before we continue any further?

Galin unleashes a flurry of still-crackling arrows at the minotaur attacking Steave, riddling it with burning holes before turning his attention to the only remaining enemy.

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29
Damage: 2d8 + 2d6 + 28 ⇒ (4, 2) + (2, 3) + 28 = 39

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38
Damage: 2d8 + 2d6 + 28 ⇒ (7, 6) + (4, 1) + 28 = 46
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24
Crit Damage: 6d8 + 6d6 + 54 ⇒ (8, 4, 8, 3, 4, 5) + (2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 5) + 54 = 101

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (4) + (4) + 14 = 22

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (6) + (2) + 14 = 22

I'm with Blink. I like this game and really enjoy playing with you as a GM, so if you're up for continuing then I would say that adding another player or two is my preferred option.

If the game is too much for you to maintain or you feel that the magic is no longer there, I totally get that as well.

It's been a month since he posted, either with this character or on his main account. We may have to move on without him.

Golden energy begins to crackle up and down his bow as Galin nocks and fires yet more arrows into the fray, switching his target to the minotaur hugging Blink. Sacred Weapon activated.

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
Damage: 2d8 + 2d6 + 28 ⇒ (1, 3) + (3, 5) + 28 = 40

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35
Damage: 2d8 + 2d6 + 28 ⇒ (4, 6) + (2, 4) + 28 = 44

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (6) + (4) + 14 = 24

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (1) + (2) + 14 = 17

Bumping for Theran.

Galin's lips begin to move, no sound escaping, as he draws and fires yet more arrows at the minotaurs. Fervored Weapon of Awe.

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23
Damage: 2d8 + 28 ⇒ (1, 1) + 28 = 30

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28
Damage: 2d8 + 28 ⇒ (6, 1) + 28 = 35

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Galin cries out as the minotaurs appear, pulling out his bow and shooting a lone arrow at the closest one as he attempts to quickly pray for their survival. Fervored Divine Favor.
Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34
Damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Yeah, sounds good to me.

Drael nods in agreement, It may be faster to move them into the cleared areas now, but for their safety it may be best to wait until we know that the entire citadel is secure.

Yeah a chance to shake those off would be good. Let's do that then. I'm not sure whether your max health is 60 or 80, but either way I should have the resources to cover it all.

Ferver: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
Ferver: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10
Ferver: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8
Ferver: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4
Ferver: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8
Ferver: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

If we're fine waiting a day for his powers to regenerate, Galin can heal her fully. I didn't realize that he doesn't actually have a CLW wand, so barring a few potions his only healing tools are Warpriest resources that regenerate daily.

I'm so sorry to hear that, you and your family are in my thoughts.

I'm pretty sure Galin felt that one from all the way over there.

Oops, I tried to post last night and I guess it got lost in the void somewhere.
Galin steps closer to the bars and sends a volley of arrows towards the minotaur he neglected with his last attack,

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Damage: 2d8 + 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (3, 6) + (3, 1) + 18 = 31

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31
Damage: 2d8 + 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (4, 7) + (2, 3) + 18 = 34

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + (5) + 9 = 18

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (7) + (6) + 9 = 22

Galin keeps his distance and sends an opening volley of glowing arrows through the bars at the closest minotaur, peppering it with no less than five arrows.
Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Damage: 2d8 + 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (8, 2) + (2, 5) + 18 = 35

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
Damage: 2d8 + 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (3, 2) + (5, 5) + 18 = 33

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + (5) + 9 = 20

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + (4) + 9 = 18

Should've asked this before, but can I aim through the bars at them?

Galin will sneak closer behind Blink. I rolled stealth in case it's necessary.
Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Galin nods, Thank you for the warning, we'll enter on our mark. With that, he bows his head for a moment, and his arrows begin to glow with a golden light. Using a Blessing of Good.

Galin nods, I would rather not have to return here, with our energy spent, and find new foes that we did not know about.

I'm going to have very limited access to a computer from now until Monday, so please bot me if I'm holding anything up.

Galin carefully approached the cell to the west, peering at the sigils and the open cell beyond as he tries to ascertain if there is still any magical threat posed by the sigils.

Detect magic and spellcraft/knowledge checks on the sigils to the west.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Tbh I entirely forgot about that and had been buying items like weapon/armor enhancements and a ring of protection, so I'm fine dropping that or just re-doing my equipment.

We gained 7,500 gp, from 16,000 to 23,500.

Now that that's over, can we(Blink) attempt to open that barred door to the north?

Galin has been fully leveled!

+3 skill points(Perception, Spellcraft, Stealth)
+1 BAB
+12 hit points
+1 3rd level spell slot
Gained Sacred Armor and Desert Stride abilities
Gained Deadly Aim Feat
Swapped some equipment around to afford a +2 Belt of Physical Might to boost his strength and dexterity.

Galin keeps his cool as the ghost appears beside him, raising his bow and releasing a flurry of arrows at point blank range into the ghost's "body".

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (1, 4) + 8 = 13

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Crit Damage: 6d8 + 24 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 6, 8, 6) + 24 = 57

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 1) + 8 = 13

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Well, I think I re-killed the ghost.

:)
Galin directs yet more arrows at the ghost which has nearly incapacitated Blink.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 2) + 8 = 12

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (6, 7) + 8 = 21

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
