Ganondwarf Hammerbammer's page

Yeah, this scenario was Bonekeep difficult. 2nd fight is against something immune to most common damage type. 3rd fight is against something that we have a 20-25% chance to hit, with crit immunities, damage reduction, and stat damaging capabilities. If we disarmed that trap, it would have been retreat or TPK.

Ganon ignored the bodies and sat down on the ground, staring at the crystal expectantly. After a few seconds of nothing, he sighed and fell backwards to have his eyes focus on nothing as he caught his breath. "Piss off, ghost."

The ridiculous of the encounter finally made the dwarf reach his breaking point as his teammates kept unnecessarily getting hit by the crystal and the void hantu still didn't go down. He stepped forward to take his shot at the hovering hostile since it wasn't within range of the crystal anymore. "Seriously?! It's still up? If this thing kills all of us, I'm shooting Jadnura just to spite it." He didn't give any indication whether he was joking or not.

PewPew: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Fire: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Ganon looked back the way he came, not terribly surprised that it didn't pursue him. "Jadnura's outside the range of the crystal. I think it's just inside it! Get back, Ray!"

PewPew: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Fire: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Fire: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Burn: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Ganon hit his pistol, grumbling yet again. "And now you can actually hit something."

Ganon looked back to see the positioning of people and grumbled about positioning, but darted back anyways. "Getting out of there!"

If it survives one hit from the crystal, the only tactic remaining will be to trigger it again since most fighters will be down. So the dying will potentially be hit again while dying.

Lap would be safer and would knock out fewer people, but we can do that since that's what people want.

The dwarf withdrew, giving himself a little pep talk as he did so, not knowing who the creature was going to be focused on, but he knew enough that triggering the crystal again while everyone was around was a bad idea.

"Frick, frick, frick, frick, frick... Worked, but stay out of range if we can do this again. If I have it's attention, I can always circle around and we can try it again!"

Regaining 13 stamina.

If it's focused on Ganon, it would be roughly 4 turns to do a lap and trigger the crystal again since that still seems like the quickest way to do damage without people dying. As long as double movement is a thing, it would just be attrition. If that is something to do, it could give people time to heal and avoid another psychic hit.

The dwarf, not caring if he got attacked at this point, kept up his run to deposit the First Seeker outside of the range of the crystal and doubled back. A look of concern briefly crossed his face as he saw his teammate way too close to the crystal, but that didn't give him enough pause as he leaped for the crystal to intentionally trigger it. "Here's to serums!"

Ganon laughed at the ridiculousness of the whole situation, a smile on his face as he heard the shots hit. "At least you guys aren't getting hit anymore! Almost there!"

He withdrew away from his pursuer, trying to at least position himself between the crystal and where the void hantu last hit him with the gravity ability in case it took a shortcut.

Best laid plans and such.

Realizing his error at the door, he doubled back and sprinted back the way they came. "Gotta be joking me."

Glancing back to see that he had got the creature's attention, he kept leading it in range of the crystal's psychic wave. "Make sure you aren't in range if I can trigger this! Get one of those serums ready!"

Figuring that it would take the shortest route towards either him or Jadnura, he dropped the First Seeker off just outside of the range of the crystal and switched to his axe as he took cover to make an attack of opportunity if it came up.

Realizing that with the low-gravity that he'd be able to do something about that environment, Ganon hefted Jadnura over one shoulder, said some encouraging words to keep Jaqweh going, and started booking it away since dwarves cared little about the weight on their shoulders.

"Change of tactics! Kite it to the crystal out front and trigger it! It can't dodge that!"

Jaqweh regains 13 stamina.

Ganon looked at the way the fight was going and grabbed ahold of Jadnura's legs to start dragging him towards the door. "To heck with this."

Ki'ren'nura regains 13 stamina.

PewPew: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 Fire: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Ganon tried looking away while firing since it seemed to work before. "This is the first fight I've been in where people actually need to worry about their ammo during the fight."

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
PewPew: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25Fire: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Annoyed at continuing to miss, the dwarf started checking out Jadnura to see if he had anything that could help. As he did so, he fired in the general direction of the creature.

At this point in the fight, the dwarf remembered that he could keep his teammates in the fight. "Needs to end and we're going to make it so!" He swapped back to his gun because having a better chance to hit was going to do more for them since the possibility of doing more damage didn't matter if he wasn't actually hitting anything.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (8) + (3) + 9 = 20

Rayraj regains 13 stamina points.

Ganon's Sintered Greataxe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Greataxe damage (S): 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 4, 4) + 5 = 18 Charged damage (F/E): 1d10 ⇒ 5
Intimidate: 1d20 + 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + (5) + 9 = 18

Ganon swung at the void hantu again, cursing as he did so. "If you were a hormonal youth, you'd be dead already!"

PewPew: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Firing and missing yet again, he just switched to his axe, readying to attack.

PewPew: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 Fire: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

After missing all of the shots, he opted to just focus fire on making a single shot... and missing again. "Confound it, get down so I can axe you something!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 10 + (5) = 19

PewPew: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3 Fire: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
PewPew: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (18) - 2 = 16 Fire: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Not having anything else to do really, Ganon just opened fire on it and hoped for the best.

Rattling Presence: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
PewPew: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 Fire: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Having been engulfed by a huge rolling fireball already today, the dwarf was largely unimpressed by whatever this new thing was. His floating camera started playing space country music loudly to try to intimidate it as he opened fire, singing along. "Only in Akiton / Where we dream as big as we want to.."

Mysticism: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

"Animate constellations... Hopefully those giant balls of fire were not part of them... And hopefully there aren't more. I should really invest in a cold sidearm."

Science!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Ganon shrugged and kept his head on a swivel, practicing good trigger discipline for the time. "Probably supposed to be something deep like how things are the same or different from multiple points of view."

Ganon visibly smiled for probably the first time on the mission after Jaqweh decided to go the other direction and followed after him. "With any luck, it will be more unsettling."

Culture: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

The dwarf put looked at the runes and placed his hand on the lashunta's shoulder to stop him. He gestured at the runes pointedly. "Well that's probably meant to be unsettling." He glanced back to see it that it was just the two of them. "Remain split or continue on?"

Ganon followed after Jaqweh since he was the one to make the suggestion and kept his sidearm ready, shying away from his axe after the last encounter didn't fair well. "Scary stuff is best dealt at from a distance. Breach and clear?"

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Stretching out, he looked between the selections out front. "Either try the front door for the respectful thing or check for a back entrance for the tactical thing."

Will: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Ganon scowled at the headache, but endured as well as dwarves could from practice.

"That was a neat trick to never try again while those who can't assist are anywhere nearby. Try again after the rest or just head inside?"

Mysticism: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Ganon's floating camera pointed towards the door and the gem before spitting out some basic info to him. "Church of Ibra... Ibra... Sounds familiar, but I'm not remembering anything at the moment." He polished his armor as well as he could under the circumstances. "Just a tad distracted to think clearly."

Grapple Escape: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The dwarf struggled further to free himself and then settled back in, just opting to wait for his companions to free him instead of wasting energy on the seemingly futile process.

Grapple Escape: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Ganon struggled to escape, his fire resistance quickly starting to be tested. He almost opened his mouth to say something plucky, but thought better of it.

(Since you're pinned, you can't make attacks while engulfed)

Oh. Thought it was a -4 to attacks. Oh well.

AOO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

The dwarf stood his ground for all the good it did him. Engulfed in flame, but not taking as much damage as others might have, he grinned madly. After all, it would be a lot more difficult to miss when it was around him.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Ganon ignored the offered weapon for the first attack as he didn't think he'd be able to pick it up without getting attacked. "Oh, this is not going to go well at all."

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Ganon looked back and forth between his weapons, realized none of them were particularly useful, and started up his usual grumbling as he reluctantly powered up his axe. "I don't have anything that's not really fire."

He gestured at one of the elementals, sighed, and puffed up his chest. "Hey, you! You don't want any of this.'

Intimidate (Rattling Presence): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

The dwarf sighed and tossed the empty serum at the nearest bin as he rose to his feet again. "Lad, I kicked yer ass with no effort, spared yer life, and am letting you walk away even as you insult me with yer inability to check yer ego. We are not bad guys, but... He gestured towards the empty serum container. "I don't have anymore of those. So seek revenge if you feel it's a good day to bleed to death."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 9 + (6) = 25

Ganondwarf rolled his eyes at the fighting continuing, pulled out the serum of healing he just got, and plopped a squat on the chest of the fallen fighter, forcing the serum down his throat.

"You all really need to learn to be chill or you're doing a large disservice to solarians."

Healing: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 2, 3) = 10

1, 1, 20, 20. This is not going to bode well for the future.
Axe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 6d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 4, 6, 1) + 10 = 31

Ganondwarf apparently didn't hold back, hoping that they could heal him afterwards if it came to that. Taking out solarians as quickly as possible was a completely valid strategy.

"Let's try that again. Yield!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 9 + (6) = 27

Axe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Hate two crit fails in a roll, reroll.
Axe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 3d6 + 3d6 + 5 + 1d10 ⇒ (5, 4, 2) + (6, 3, 5) + 5 + (3) = 33

Seeing that his companion was about to get flanked, he ran forward again and took a solid swing at the solarian. He really wasn't a fan of getting up close to a solarian, but he had to help the lashunta however he could.

The dwarf grumbled as he drew his axe from its scabbard, plasma running along the edge of it. "Now then. If you aren't interested in reason, then we can help you come around." He sprinted in his direction, faster than most dwarves were known for.

Demoralize: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Not worth the reroll.

Ganondwarf offered out a sympathizing outstretched hand. "Hey, man, that's rough. Your parents sound nice. If you're willing, there's a nice tea place where we can go and talk about them."

diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

The dwarf kept his eyes closed, but thought the "you" in question was a collective one instead of a singular and thought he should respond. "I am a conductor in the machine and I have to pass through as the rest of the circuit behind me dictates or the machine doesn't function."

Ganondwarf turned off his various tech and gadgets to achieve a closer semblance to silence and stillness instead of having the usual pitch running of being powered on. He found the actual stillness uncomfortable, but closed his eyes all the same.

The dwarf raised an eyebrow as the eyes lingered on himself before finally reaching to his pouch and producing a flask. Taking the half-full cup of tea, he poured some of his wine into the cup as well, deciding to just contribute a little. "One of the things my associates do from time to time is when sharing drinks, just mix them together to share an experience and see if it's worth producing again."

He slowly swirled the concoction around before starting to drink again. As he puckered his lips in thought, he finally nodded in eventual approval at the wine-infused tea. He offered the flask towards the host. "Care to join me in a custom as well? My space port is nice."

diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Ganondwarf sighed and sat in silence, nursing the tea since this was outside of his comfort zone and expertise and knew better than to try to fake it when doing so could cause issues for those that were more likely to make some sort of progress.

The dwarf nodded solemnly, the previous attempt at gathering information still leaving him a bit flustered. "To be fair, I suspect that he came here to center himself, but he did just leave without saying anything."

Ganondwarf grumbled under his breath about automation taking away opportunities for the working class before composing himself and heading back over to join everyone else. "I didn't have any luck with getting anything new. Monastery or another direction?"

Janitor: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Hammerbammer stared at the giant display being used to gather information before finally just locating the nearest street sweeper and tried to capture their attention. "Oy! Quite the show, right?" He gestured back to the performance and the others asking for help. "Probably see a lot of interesting things around. Wonder if you'd seen that Jadnura."

The janitor looked to Ki intently as he stroked his beard. "The Idari... If heading there, should probably check out the Pradulex Monastery. Likely where ol' Jadnura may have headed, but that'd only be of use if Jadnura had any sort of relationship with one of the masters there. Wouldn't likely be able to get in otherwise."
