Goggeck Ghack's page

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Still not clear here. I'm hoping to catch up in the new year.

Goggeck calls out in response to Touble's warning:

"Let the ants come! Let them taste dwarven bolt and dwarven hammer!"

As Goggeck speaks, a palpable charge of energy fills his limbs. He launches another bolt at the nearest flying monster:

Swift Action: Justice judgement for +2 sacred bonus to hit this combat. 1/2 judgements left.

Heavy Crossbow vs nearest flying ant, with Bless, IC, and Justice: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Argh, it's been a while. No covid but a bad sinus infection.

I'm slowly rebalancing the spinning plates of pbp posting. :)

Hey folks. I've been wiped with a cold... then felt rough today. Now I'm awaiting a covid-19 test. I hope to catch up again soon.

"Aye. Let us strike them from afar, then finish the remainder with steel and fire."

Goggeck readies his heavy crossbow.

Apologies for the delay. Catching up here.

Goggeck steps towards the second ground-bound ant, aiming to smash it as well!

5ft step towards other GiAnt. Risky strike with inspire courage and bless. AC back up to 17.

Risky Strike with Fireforged Steel Longhammer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 23

Damage: 2d6 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 20

Goggeck charges into the fray, eager to aid Glor against the ant.

"Steel - meet carapace!", he bellows!

Charge and Risky Strike with Fireforged Steel: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18

Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 6) + 10 = 20

AC currently 15 with charge

Just a note. My rate of posting has gotten more erratic lately. It may remain that way for some weeks yet.

Unless anyone objects, I'll hang onto the Unguent of Revification and the Potion of CMW

Goggeck feels the weight and balance of his new hammer with great satisfaction.

"I am that the first blows I make with this hammer will be on ant carapace. Who is with me?"

"Aye."

"A fair question, Sankest."

Goggeck turns to the group:

"How about alkali flasks, in case of strange foes?"

"If none wish to wield my old longhammer, I am content to trade that in towards the fire-forged piece."

"Aye, Brunhild. Someone on watch should also wear the eyes of the eagle. Harder for goblinoids to sneak up on us. For myself, I aim for that longhammer and heavy crossbow. I can trade in my current arms or pass those onto others should they seek to use them."

The sell list is fine by me though I have no objection to any last minute calls for equipment.

I'm not that pushed about any of the new magical gear tbh.

I'll be travelling this weekend and I won't be posting again until Monday at least.

Much apologies for the delay, I've been very busy and stressed.

@GM: That is very understandable.

Please review the Loot Sheet. Highlight anything you wish to sell off to Sankest in green. The group column is on the far right. You may want to make some identification, appraisal rolls on some things first.

@All:

My suggestions:

* We identify/appraise/shake all of the items that we don't want to keep and that we don't have a value for.

* Goggeck has a grand total of Appraise +0 so some other dwarf (or gnome!) may want to take point on that appraisal!

* My vote is to sell all weapons, armour, gems, and artwork that are in the party stash. We may as well put that gold to work!

Take care.

Thanks for the lists, GM!

I may not be able to post again until Saturday. Just a heads up.

Goggeck snorts with amusement at Brunhild's quip.

"Not such a bad idea."

Goggeck gazes at Brunhild, then nods and speaks.

"I see a staunch foe of the Droskarites."

Goggeck turns to face Brunhild, nods, and speaks.

"I am of Clan Ghack, noted for their stonework. Whether mining or carving, my kin have a knack for handling the stuff. I have some small talent for sculpting but felt a greater call. Trudd's strong arm guided me to one of His temples and there I learned how to serve Him. Once my training was complete, I volunteered for my local militia. My fondest hope has been to crush the enemies of Dwarfkind and I have accomplished more in that than I had dreamed."

Goggeck's eyes shine a little as he thinks of recent times of fond camaradie and copious foeslaying.

"After my decision to serve Trudd, hoining this expedition was the best decision I have made in my life. I have fine comrades-in-arms and a heap of dead foes. It is a great beginning!"

Goggeck nods with approval at traditional dwarven ways being adhered to.

Children need their booze to grow strong.

Goggeck raises his hammer and waves to his fellow dwarves.

He speaks to Girtul.

"We return with word of the iron mine and even better - a wyvern and bugbears slain!"

What the GM said!

"Aye, Adu. To the Vault."

Goggeck snorts with amusement.

"They were welcome to that death. But this land belongs to dwarfkind, not scaly flappers or goblins. Let us move on."

Goggeck nods approvingly at Glor's discovery of fine ore.

When he discovers the slain bugbears, he makes a face between a grin and a scowl.

"Bugbears. But at least they are dead."

He kneels and examines the bodies for clues as to their killers.

Heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Survival (+2 to track): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Goggeck almost smiles.

"That is indeed better. Thank you, Adu."

Assuming that we camped overnight in the wyvern's lair...

Goggeck nods approvingly in the direction of Glor and his earth creature, then resumes scouting the area.

Survival (another +2 if tracking helps): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Let's finish exploring the hex, see how we're fixed then, assess.

Goggeck would go after the ants if the party isn't too drained.

Resupply is needed.

The merchants in the Theocrat's Vault perhaps?

@Hezekh: Unfortunately, Inquisitors only get 4th level spells at level 10.

@Toulbe: I hope your pain diminishes soon.

@All: I aim to level up today.

"Glor, I have no interest in the belt. I would not object to the armbands, should none want them But I suspect Hezekh would wring more use from them!"

@Hezekh: Take care!

Hurrah! It may be the weekend before I level up.

@GM: I completely forgot about the save changing with lowering con. I posted Goggeck's bonus vs poison in an earlier post but I think it got lost in the shuffle. He gets a +1 trait bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and poison.

18/18 HP out of 30. 5 con damage

"I will need a great deal of rest and restoration.", says Goggeck, more exhausted than you have ever heard him.

"But we have slain a draconic beast and its minions and now can claim its hoard!"

"My thanks, Adu."

Fort Save vs poison: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 17
Fort Save vs poison: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 30

24/24 HP

Fort Save with Bless and Bonus vs Poison: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 23

HP down to 7/24 with CON damage.

Goggeck circles the flying lizard so that he is flanking with Hezekh - then swings!

Longhammer with PA, Bless, IC, DF, and flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 25

Damage: 2d6 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 19

Fort Save with Bless and Bonus vs Poison: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 16

Goggeck steps back so that he is line with Hezekh and swings high and hard at the reptile!

"I will not fall that easily, worm!"

Longhammer with PA, Bless, IC, and DF: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 26

Damage: 2d6 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 16

I currently have an earache so my response time might be affected.

Goggeck drives his longhammer at the growling goblinoid!

"Back, goblin scum!"

AOO Smack with PA, Bless, IC, and DF: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 24

Damage: 2d6 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 20

Goggeck strides forward, speaking hymns to Trudd's strength as he goes!

He only speaks dwarven and has no interest in the babbling and boasts of dragons!

Moves straight ahead, casts divine favour on himself.

I'm in a similar boat here!

Good to hear that. :)

Goggeck nods and begins to move towards the entrance, longhammer in hand.

I'm fine with that.

Goggeck tucks in.

"You make the most of what we find, Toulbe."

@Adu: I believe so.
