Glaurung of Anfauglith's page

Got it! Thanks, GM!

"Agreed!" Glaurung responds to this last point. "Now, let's all get off of this terrible place. All of these Halls of Ecstasy sound right up my alley though, perhaps I will come back here some when I truly retire. Turn it into something infinitely more fun and with far more tact and comfort."

Glau moves over to Osprey and links her arm in his, waiting for the famous druid to escort her out.

Thanks, GM! It was fun to get Glaurung out again, even if she was more than a little outshined by the others in the party. I am honestly too busy to continue right now anyways but it has been a good run.

Little Glau flies forward and lends her aid against the monster!

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 20 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 20 - 4 + 2 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (6) + 23 = 29

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 12 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 4 + 2 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31

Glau continues to try her best stabbing at the Queen!

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 20 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 20 - 4 + 2 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 12 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 - 4 + 2 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27

Glaurung follows Jebidiah's example and moves in to attack!

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 17 - 4 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27

With everyone else staying back, Glau decides to stay back as well. "Just calm down now!"

DC 23 Will against mass suggestion on the baddies or stop fighting!

"It really is such a shame," Glau says as she flies into the room, "the Ring of Ecstasy sounds like exactly the kind of thing I would be interested in. But alas, you have taken some of our friends and we would like them back."

Glau casts a spell to blur her figure. displacement

"Fine, let's start. I'm sure whatever is down there knows we're coming and probably has a knife to Osprey's throat."

'I can produce missiles and dispeling magics,' Glaurung offers. 'Can we burrow around it though? That might be easier.'

Glaurung unfolds her leathery wings and follows Amsheagar, Nalshene, and Narshala, not confident enough in her current weakened state to take the lead.

Glau follows immediately behind Jeb without abandon, trying to avoid the trap again.

This is just a reminder that I will be taking the preliminary exam for my PhD program from Monday-Friday this week and will not be back until next Saturday or Sunday. Please bot me if needed to keep the action moving. Thanks!

Phew, here it goes. I'm guessing with Glau's current Will save at +9 - 4 (negative levels) for an effective +5, some of the items probably have a better save on their own but I don't have time to research the CL of everything just now. I'll roll for destruction and if anything gets a 18 or higher it can make the save using Glau's +5 but everything below I'll need to look up the CL if necessary.

At least the spear is still functional but s&&&, losing that robe of arcane heritage is a big blow. At least the belt of mighty constitution +6 is still functioning.

Glau sighs as she shrinks back to gnormal height and some of her items lose their luster. She quickly begins reapplying some of her spells.

mage armor
And just to be safe:
spell resistance

The next day Glaurung wakes up and casts her familiar regimen of spells.

extended bull's strength (28 minutes)
extended enlarge person (28 minutes)

resist energy: cold 30

"Ok, let's make this quick. Osprey and the others have been down there suffering enough, I should think."

Draglaurung slowly transforms into her normal gnome form. "Fine, but if Osprey is dead when we get there, his blood is not on my hands." Glau moves to the corner to brood.

Yeah, I think the consensus is against me so if the others want to rest I guess I will go along with them.

Draglaurung growls and spits.

Sorry, thought I posted this round already but it must've gotten lost. I've been in the field the past couple days planting.

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Draglaurung does not wish to cross the veil so she turns to her magic before wading in.

Casting displacement.

Draglaurung snarls as her fellow gnome is torn up by the demons. She shrugs off her own wound and attacks savagely.

Sorry, that form of the dragon caused some major adjustments to Glau's stats and I didn't update everything. Her AC is 34 currently and HP went up to 185/228. So the pincer still confirms for 34 damage - 10 stoneskin - 16 temporary = 8 actual damage.

Glaurung feels invigorated in her new dragon form and continues to hack and bite at the nearest vrock.

bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 6) + 9 = 18

Well it's been almost a week so I think maybe we should put him on hold or bot him.

Amsheagar is stunned but is Jebediah still up?

Glau recast stoneskin in the previous fight so that should still be running (14 hours I think) along with her new false life and she usually uses extended mage armor every day, which lasts more than 24 hours.

Draglaurung snarls and lashes out at the nearest demon (red).

bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 1) + 9 = 11

claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
acid: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Glau shakes her head, sitting up at the disturbance. "Oh, now this look like fun." Her skin begins to take on the color of brass, her slight gnomish form grows to massive proportions, and finally her limbs and wings lengthen into the familiar shape of a dragon.

Form of the Dragon II!

Glau sighs. "Alas, that is not in my magical expertise or I would have repaired the wounds of my own soul by now. Unfortunately," she says, leaning down to peer at the words in the dirt and wiping them clean, "I think we must push on. I don't want to be beset by more demon queens and I think it is best we find Osprey and the others before anything untoward is done to them." In the dirt she scrawls (with some thought, writing backwards), .dneirf ym tey tsuj toN

I thought I picked up a scroll of restoration or two but maybe I used it already or forgot to buy it because it's not on Glau's sheet. Yes, that's something I need to have on my "must-buy" list for high-level play.

Not sure if Glau is in the blades or if they stop before her but I'll roll anyways:
Ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Glau taps her nails on her longspear for a second, deciding what to do. Elements will be useless against this demon. Better keep myself alive. Jebediah has the girl where he likes her.

false life: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

With her defenses down but safe in the back lines, Glaurung pulls out some dust from her pouch and starts powdering her skin with it.

Recasting stoneskin just because.

Yep, that math looks right. Good thing Glaurung is built to take a punch.

Glaurung tries only to retreat from a situation that could turn quite nasty.

If I am understanding things, Glaurung is no longer grappled (?), in which case she will withdraw. If she is still grappled she will just try to break free:
CMB: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 4 = 17

Fort: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 13 - 4 = 27
Eats away a little stoneskin and some temporary hp.

"Oh dear, if you wanted to tie me up all you had to do was ask."

Hmm. I don't trust her to cast anything while grappled and her chance of escape, especially with the negative levels, is probably pretty low. So:

Glaurung flashes a sickly-sweet smile as he nails grow long and pointed. She claws furiously at the mariliths' tail.

claw: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 13 - 4 = 13
damage: 1d4 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
acid: 1d6 ⇒ 2
fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3

claw: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 13 - 4 = 10
damage: 1d4 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
acid: 1d6 ⇒ 6
fire: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"Well that was just terrible," Glau comments. "I'm feeling terribly weak for sure. But is everyone else well? Can we please find our missing people and get off of this awful moon?"

Bite damage only takes away from stoneskin but yikes, another two levels! Glau is feeling pretty drained at this point.

Glau snarls at the vampire b&@++ and mutters to her companions, "Step back, look out, I don't care. Just let me at her!" Once the way is clear she takes in a sharp breath and then discharges all of the fire burning in her stomach in the vampire's direction.

Double-checking: normally Glau is effectively 19th level for her draconic sorcerer special abilities (5 sorcerer, 10 dragon disciple, 4 robe of arcane heritage) but due to 4 negative levels she is effectively 15th. DC is 10 + 1/2 level + Cha so 10 + 7 + 7 = 24. I think that's right. HeroLab just can't handle a lot of complicated stuff like that so I never trust it at higher levels.

60' line fire breath weapon: 15d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 6, 4, 4, 4, 1, 2, 1) = 59
DC 24 Ref for half

Ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
38 dmg taken brings Glau to 189/210 currently.

Glau frowns as her spell bounces off harmlessly. "B&~$@ has backed herself into a corner. If you boys don't let me in there, I don't know what more I can do to help." Glau flies around to the side and tries to distract her by sticking her longspear around the corner.

Not sure if I can attack around the hard corner but hopefully you'll allow an aid to Jeb's next attack. Glau's range spells are mostly blasts that will only hurt everyone and it's getting too tight for melee.

aid: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 17 - 2 = 31

Glaurung taps her foot on the ground. "It is far too crowded in here," she comments as she flings a few red streaks at the vampire b!!#+.

CL?: 1d20 + 14 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 6 = 31
force: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 3, 3) + 5 = 18

Glau notes that this hallway is another dead-end so she turns about and flies back towards the fight, stabbing at the vampire queen once she gets into position. Provoking while moving there. Displacement is up now though.

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28

Glaurung has trouble reaching the vampire queen so she elects to fly around and protect herself with displacement.

Glaurung tries to defend herself with her longspear, but the jabs feel awkward as the magical defenses on the succubus deflect them.

Glau sighs. "Protection? You're no fun."

Only 3 points break through stoneskin and then just take out some temporary HP. Negative levels noted though.

"Hey now! I enjoy a bit of foreplay, but not too rough!"

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 17 - 2 = 17

damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28
acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Glaurung keeps flying south to keep ridding the place of vampires with her long hard shaft!

If she encounters any vampires along the way or can make it to the one near Pad, she'll stab (90' fly speed).

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31
acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

"I'd really rather not leave so soon," Glaurung says back. "There's just so much to be done." She stabs at the vampire blocking her way.

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28
acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27
acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

I don't think either of those hit Glau. She has Blind Fight so doesn't suffer penalties from invisible opponents so everything should be against her regular AC without any +2 attack from attacking out of invisibility.

"Little bastards," Glau mutters as she steps forward away from the flank and attacks the vampire in front of her with her spear. Was going to form of the dragon but then realized I can turn into a large dragon but don't want to squeeze myself. I'll save it I guess.

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 25
acid: 1d6 ⇒ 4

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (3) + 23 = 26
acid: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Ha!

Glaurung decides that was the wrong way to go and flaps her wings, flying past her allies and down the other side corridor.

Finished up my movement from last turn to move elsewhere on the map (off to the west).

Glaurung tries to cut off the vampires by coming at them from the other direction, hoping the corridors meet up.

Double move flying total of 180'. I've only moved her 30' but she'll fly as far around as she can, trying to come up behind the vampires.

If Pad took out the swarms, Glau will just delay.

Glau sends another blast of fire into the next room to rid it of the bats.

fireball: 10d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 1, 6, 1, 6, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2) + 10 = 45
DC 20 Ref

"Oh dear, where did all of those come from?" Glaurung asks as she turns about. With a wave of her hand the hall behind Ezrek explodes in flames.

Casting fireball on three southernmost ones.

fire: 10d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 5, 1, 1, 2, 5, 4, 1) + 10 = 40

Glau also has blindsense 30' if that matters. That's what I was intending for my action above. But I have a feeling she did something other than invisibility:

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

See invisibility is a personal spell, unfortunately, so Pad can only cast it on himself. You also can not make potions from personal spells so Amsheagar can't have a potion of see invisibility either. Sorry to rain on everyone's parade!

Glaurung sees the vampire disappear and curses. She flies past her companions and into the room with her longspear out, sniffing out the vampire's position and using Pad's guidance to aim her spear.

With a 90' fly speed she should be able to fly in there and near wherever the vampire gal is, then take a stab as a standard. Move Glau wherever she needs to be for that to happen.

+5 longspear: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
miss chance, high hits: 1d100 ⇒ 19
blind fight reroll: 1d100 ⇒ 88
damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (6) + 23 = 29
acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"That doesn't sound pleasant at all!" Glaurung says as she flaps her wings and takes a look down the corridor. "And I'm picking up the most atrocious odor coming from that way. I think I'll just stay down here for a bit, ok? Try to burn some of the stink away, Pad, that's a good gnome."

Just moving this round.

"I am not entirely sure that I like the sound of that..."

"I don't know, sounds like just my type of place...." Glaurung smirks at the druid.

"But fine, if none of you are up for a little fun I suppose we should keep moving." Glau points to the northern corridor and leads the way forward with her longspear in hand.

Glaurung pulls a file from a fold in her robes and begins to work on her nails. "Well done, boys. Well done, indeed. Those things were quite ugly, weren't they?" She puts the file away and looks back around. "Let's find this Queen or whoever's been stealing people from Golarion so we can get out of this demon-infested place. The decor is just not my style."

"These vrocks, they just aren't really my cup o' tea." Glaurung says while looking over her nails.

Still delaying. Not sure what I can do to really help at this point so I'll just conserve my spells.
