Graxzos Glyphkeeper's page

I got the chronicle! Aside from the mentioned question of high tier vs. low tier, I don't have any questions/problems.

...no chance I can aid with Intimidate, is there? Assuming not:

Graxzos scuffs the floor with his boot. "Aye. Ushi puts it fancier'n I can, but tha' be about the size o' it: the Society's good people."

Diplomacy (Aid Ushi): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Graxzos snorts and takes a look at them. “‘’m more in the security end o’ th’Exchange than appraisals, meself.”

Appraise: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 ...+2 if they’re nonmagical and include precious metals or gemstones!

Then he bursts out laughing. “...but any dwarf worth ‘is ram’s milk can tell yeh that this dagger is worthless garbage! It ain’t even proper steel!” He holds up the offending dagger triumphantly.

Knowledge check’s!
Kagoshe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Belbi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Mbansa: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Kanwo: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Seeing that Ushi is asking around about Mbansa and Andor is inquiring about Kagoshe, Graxzos decides to ask around about Harbormaster Kanwo.

Diplomacy (Gather Info re: Kanwo): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Graxzos carefully tests the handle of the southern door. If it's unlocked, he opens it and peers within.

Graxzos hands his wand to Ushi. "Top me off, will ya?"

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"Ahhhh. Thanks!" He tucks the wand away, and glances around. "...Wha' were we here fer, again?"

“Stan’ still so I c’n hit yeh!” Graxzos snarls, swinging his ax again. “An’ stop poundin’ on the tiny man!”

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27 for 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

At last, he feels the ax sink home! He grins and darts away from the Aspis boss.

AC remains 19, hp at 21. I’m on my phone again; if someone could move me 5’ SW that’d be appreciated!

GM, for what it’s worth Grax also provoked last round—haven’t seen an AoO against him. I forgot to flag it, my apologies

Flanking with the tiny Andor, Grax lets out a bellow of rage and swings his ax! If someone can shift me 5’ North I’d appreciate it!

Attack!: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 18 for 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

AC remains 19.

"Hey hey hey HEY!" Graxzos bellows, infuriated that Shinri is attacking Kara. Keep it together, keep your head... He levels his pistol one more time, and tries to blast her.

Attack, PBS, Up Close and Deadly: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 = 23 vs. touch for 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (5) = 6

Stowing his pistol, he draws his ax and grits his teeth.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Whoohoo!

"Ngh! Oh, YES, we will!" Graxzos snarls. Ducking backward deftly, he fires at her again, reloads, and draws his shield.

Attack! (PBS): 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 = 14 vs. touch for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Current AC is 19.

Unfortunately, it's your flat-footed AC Andor. :(

Graxzos grits his teeth as Andor falls. "Yeh, well, I have pow'r yeh prob'ly can't imagine either," he growls, leveling his pistol at the Aspis agent.

Ka-BLAM! (PBS): 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 = 22 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Grax jams another paper cartridge into his pistol, and steps forward to present himself as an obvious target.

I don't know what her cover situation is from my original square (due south of Kara), but that resolves against touch AC!

“Uh-oh,” Grax mutters, bringing his pistol up.

Mostly posting because I’m on mobile and need to remind myself to deduct 5 points of damage from Grax’s current hp. Thanks for the healing, Ushi!

Thanks!

Hi all. Apologies for the delay, more extended than I intended. I am trying to catch up on things, but am trying to read through and evaluate where I can jump back in.

Thanks for your patience!

(This is, of course, assuming that you still think I'm eligible to continue, GM Rinaldo; I completely understand if not.)

Short version is I AM disarmed...barely. *shakes fist*

Graxzos lets out a snarl of rage as his pistol clatters to the ground. ”By Gorum’s brass balls! No one touches me li’l friend!” His ax appears in his hand likes magic, and he bellows as he takes a swing at the offending snake!

Attack Green (flanking): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 = 10 for 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

In his fury, his ax just bites into the floor of the warehouse!

HP: 28 (on mobile, can’t edit my profile)

Graxzos grunts as he takes the hit from the sword. Stepping easily out of the flank, he trains his gun on the same agent he already shot. “Yer s’posed t’fall down when I shoot yeh,” he snarls.

BANG!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 vs touch for 1d8 ⇒ 8

He reloads again and draws his shield!

Current AC is 19, or 20 if they both move adjacent again.

A message to all my games:

I apologize for disappearing late last week! I am a freelancer and my work has suddenly and unexpectedly kicked into high gear. On top of that, I’m attempting to apply to graduate programs, and most of those applications are due in early January. I was hoping that I could keep up my posting rate, but between work and the holidays I’m clearly going to slump a little.

If I’m a player in this game, PLEASE feel free to bot me if I haven’t posted in a bit. I really appreciate it.

If I’m the GM, I can only ask for your kind patience. I’ll try to post ASAP to keep us moving.

Sorry, again, for the slightly delayed notice. Things should clear up after the next two weeks.

Sorry for the delay!!

“I’ll intrude on yeh, alright,” Graxzos snarls, charging into the room. He plants his feet and fires at the agent Kara shot, then rams another cartridge into his pistol.

Shhot red (Up Close and Deadly): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 vs touch for 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (1) = 2 damage (half the d6 on a miss).

Great use of my grit point...

Graxzos comes barreling in from the other side of the dock, raising his pistol as he goes and spinning to face into the room as he arrives at the open door!

Whoops, I'm sorry, I missed that request. Adjusting position! Lark, I think if I fail the Stealth check (likely) the foes will probably not be surprised--or at least less likely to be so.

Graxzos also isn't one of the stealthiest people in the world, so he heads over to the door with his pistol drawn. He makes eyes at Andor, urging the other man to kick the door open so the rest of the group can get the drop on the Aspis agents inside.

I personally say let's bust in and take the surprise round.

*shrug* If Andor wants to try this way, I'm fine with this. If these two don't work, Grax will head over to pull him to the front door.

Graxzos grunts. "Agreed. C'mon, now - someone who's good at that sorta thing get talkin'!"

Before the group heads to the docks, Graxzos turns to Gideon. [b “Do th’Asps workin’ here have any badges or call-signs? Any o’ those pins the Consortium likes?”[/b]

Hi all: I'll be traveling Sat. morning through Mon. evening. I'll try to check in by phone, but please feel free to bot me if need be!

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Graxzos shudders. "Tha' don' sound good. Anythin' else funny happen when she's meditatin'?"

"Twelve Rites, eh? And th' Asps have seven or eight? Well no matter what, tha' don't sound good." Graxzos snorts. "I'm game t'row if no one else is."

Don't remember exactly what checks are needed.

Graxzos guffaws. "Jus' hop on th'ship wit' a bunch of Asps?" He glances around at the rest of the group. "We ain't doin' that. Right? We ain't doin' that."

Thanks for the heads-up! Hope you have a good time at both.

Again, assuming it's ok to spend a round of rage!

"LET! HIM! GO!" Graxzos howls, chopping wildly at the tongue.

Attack (raging waraxe!): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

NNNNNNNGGGGAAAAHHHHH...

Bull Rush (raging if permitted): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21

"COMING THROOOOUUUUGH!"

I will rage if possible--but let me know if that means I should take fatigue penalties in the next challenge.

Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 C'mon, really?

Graxzos looks around desperately for another path--but he can't see any!

Apologies for the delay--been getting over an illness!

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

"It never ends! Hahaha! It never ends 'till yer dead!" Graxzos howls as he tries to withstand the gust of wind.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Grax lets out a yell, but he's too slow!

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

"OR MINE?" Graxzos roars, blood streaming from his ears as he sprints toward the Aspis.

What actually happens to me due to that croak? o.O

Hope you're feeling better! :)

Grax claps his hands over his ears as well.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Grax has SR 10, if this is a magical effect that would be effected by it...

Graxzos stares. "Wha' the f@&$ is tha' thing?!" Then he realizes that now's probably not the time to be asking such questions. Making sure that his powder horn is tightly sealed, he shoulders Gideon after the others and follows them. "This way--we gotta get t'higher ground!" He points to some tumbled-down ruins that are still standing and begins to pick a path up the rockslide toward the highest point.

Wondering if I can use Climb to get to a high point?

Climb: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 1 = 6

EDIT: Well, I guess I can't.

Graxzos raises one of the magical oils. "Anyone min' if I keep this'n, then?" Assuming no one objects, he pockets one oil of bless weapon.

As the others help Gideon stand, he reloads his gun and stands scouting the area around the ruin. "Alrigh'--if yer sure tha' th'Aspis crooks took off wi' everythin' we'd be innerested in, may as well be gettin' back."

If Kara killed it, I'm going to restore my last spent round of rage, since that would have been after her action (assuming you're ok with that, Rinaldo).

Graxzos pants for a few seconds as the battle rage leaves him. Glaring at the boggards, he growls, "I'm all fer killin' these things--boggards ain't the healthiest critters t'be around." He doesn't make a move without the consent of the group, though.

As the others explore the chambers, he follows. He's not terribly impressed by Andor's observations, instead investigating the desk in the corner.

Strength DC 15: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

There's a crunching noise as he rips a drawer clean out of the desk. "Wha? It was stuck." He paws through the contents. "Nice knife...cold iron, tha'. A wand...some oil, guessin' magical...an'...is this water?" He waves at Ushi and Veres. "'Ere, someone take a look at these. Someone what knows about magic an' stuff."

"DIE! DIE! JUST DIE ALREADY!" Graxzos roars. In a desperate bid to kill the thing, he lunges past it to flank it with Andor.

Attack (rage, bless, IC, flank): 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 17 for 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13 Sadly, guidance and inspire courage don't stack--both competence bonuses. :(

Graxzos grunts as he takes the blow, and barely even registers the fact that Ushi has healed him. He focuses on pressing the assault, whirling his ax toward the remaining boggard once more.

Attack (rage, IC, bless): 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 28 for 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11

Graxzos deflects the first massive club with his shield, and just barely manages to dodge the second blow. He turns to the remaining boggard with a howl of fury.

Attack (IC, rage, bless): 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 14 for 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Graxzos grins as Veres's arrow sinks into the boggard that tried to club him. "They may be strong, but I got a nasty surprise for 'em!" He leaps out from behind the door and swings his ax around.

Attack red if he's still standing--otherwise attacking blue!

Ax (IC): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 = 23 for 1d10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Current AC is 20 if both foes are still standing, or 19 if one's down.

I'm ok to continue with 5!

I forgot IC gives you a bonus against fear effects—that means I actually JUST MADE my save!! Hooray and thank you Veres! :D

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Since you spelled out what it does... 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds.

Graxzos blanches as the boggard's croak resounds through the chamber. "Sweet Cayden, ain't no need fer tha'." He takes a step to one side and fires again at the boggard before holstering his pistol and drawing his shield.

Attack Red! (IC, shaken, PBS): 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 19 vs. touch for Up Close and Deadly): 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + (2) = 5

Sorry for the missed save! Thank you for the roll!

Seeing the boggards getting ready to attack, Grax lunges forward as Veres clears the gap in the walls. "OH NO YEH DON'T, YEH DAMNED DIRTY FROGS!" He fires off a blast at the one in the clear, the sound of his shot ringing through the ancient hall!

Attack Red, PBS, CC, IC: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 21 vs. flat-footed touch
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

As the creature reels, he rams an alchemical cartridge into his pistol and draws his ax.

Grax has a +1 bonus to AC as long he's adjacent to both boggards.

"Good enough fer me," Graxzos says with a sigh. Though gold'd be better. He draws his pistol and attempts to creep toward the entrance where the boggards are, still staying out of sight but prepared for things to go south.
