Grota's page

Thanks much for running!

Totally agree with the bot. Note that cure light mass is targeted so don't have to heal enemies. I'm currently on a bus so hard to type lol.

Swift Action
Grota begins to give out Advice once again.

Full Attack
Grota tries to shake off his wounds and stun the tengu once again.
Stunning Fist Attack (Advice, Haste): 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 35
Stunning Fist Damage (Advice): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 3) + 3 = 11
I swear, the dice hate my stunning fist...

Iterative
Fist Attack (Advice, Haste): 1d20 + 15 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 3 + 1 = 30
Fist Damage (Advice): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 6) + 3 = 10

Haste
Fist Attack (Advice, Haste): 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 25
Fist Damage (Advice): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 3) + 3 = 11

By my calcs, with the bleed, Grota is at -132, or at 11/143. Wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong there but it's in the ballpark enough that Grota should still be up.

Can't post a full turn right now but yes he bluffed Grota. His DC is exactly 30, so the tengu both hit and sneak. Some ol module BS he got out of the stunning fist. ;)

Wont be able to post a full turn for at least 15 hours (probably more like 24) but he would full attack again with the first hit being a stunning fist and start Advice

As a reminder, my trip to South Korea begins this weekend. I will probably be the most unavailable this weekend, so bot me as needed.

Likely he will continue to cycle Advice while trying to save people with a combination of Abundant Step and First Aid Gloves (although he's only got one BOL left). If he's not doing that, he's trying to stun something.

Attacks: +20/+15, 2d6 damage, stunning fist is DC 29 with mantis style (unbuffed)

Current Party Buffs: (Only listing the ones the whole party has)

• Advice +3 (like Inspire Courage)
• Barkskin +5
• Haste

Grota's Advice lingers in the air for another round. Will put it back up next round.

Swift Action
Grota spends a Ki point to be more defensive. +4 to AC... Included in stat block.

Full Attack
Grota again tries to stop the Tengu in his tracks!
Stunning Fist Attack (Advice, Haste): 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 26
Stunning Fist Damage (Advice): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 6) + 3 = 13
I swear, the dice hate my stunning fist...

Iterative
Fist Attack (Advice, Haste): 1d20 + 15 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 3 + 1 = 32
Fist Damage (Advice): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 6) + 3 = 11

Haste
Fist Attack (Advice, Haste): 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 30
Fist Damage (Advice): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1) + 3 = 8

Hope that worked, Grota thinks about Valrar.

Grota's Advice lingers in the air.

Move Action
He over to the Tengu.

Standard Action
"Please stop." Grota punches the tengu, hoping to stop him in his tracks.
Stunning Fist Attack (Advice, Haste): 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 26
Stunning Fist Damage (Advice): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 5) + 3 = 10
If any damage at all, DC 29 fort save vs. stun.

^ This

And if you make the save (although you're not likely to) I think it will save you actually, as you would be at -38 and then go to -14 with the BOL.

All depends on the save. Use a reroll if you got it!

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
Fort Save: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39

"Valrar!"

Swift Action
Grota reinstate his Advice.

Move Action
Grota uses Abundant Step to teleport himself and Valrar out of trouble.

Standard Action
Grota reaches down to heal Valrar with his First Aid Gloves. I know he's pretty far down and it probably won't work but is worth a shot. That reflex save vs. Lightning might be important...
Breath of Life: 5d8 + 9 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 4, 5) + 9 = 24

Attack of Opportunity
Fist Attack (Advice, Haste): 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 36

If it does any damage, DC 29 fort save vs. Stunning Fist.
Counts as cold iron, silver, magic, lawful

Swift Action

Double Move Action
Grota moves up and around towards the caster in the back. Taking the long way around so shouldn't get within 10 ft reach of anyone but the caster.

Going to be very busy this weekend as I am traveling to my dad's pace. I will still check but my posting will slow some.

Also traveling out to South Korea (for work) in a week (Feb 3) so that might have slowdown as well for a couple weeks. Although I am looking forward to attending an Olympic event!

Current Party Buffs: (Only listing the ones the whole party has)

• Barkskin +5

Note: Grota just teleported a bunch of melee in so they maybe could full attack?

OK, so buffs before starting our adventuring again include Lenny giving Grota Mage Armor again (if he agrees to) and Grota giving everyone Barkskin +5. Also don't know if Mass Fly is going?

@Chun Not sure if you wanted to have Grota teleport you, especially since his init was up before yours. ;)

Swift Action
"Let's dispatch them quickly."
Grota begins giving Advice.

Move Action
He uses Abundant Step to teleport in himself, Chun, Kaz, and Valrar (if desired from each of them) next to the enemies.

"I think a rest is wise. Seems a good break point."

Grota has nothing to add but awaits a response.

Grota bows and hopes for a reciprocated congruence to our agreement.

Grota bows. "With our tasks complete, do we have your blessing to move on?"

"Our tasks complete, let's meet."

"If they linger with malice, it is the only way."

Current Party Buffs: (Only listing the ones the whole party has)

Grota's FFT AC is 30, so miss miss.

Swift Action
"Keep fighting! Get rid of the darkness if you can!"
Grota begins giving Advice.

Standard Action
"Strike true!"
He gives everyone within 30 ft. of him True Strike. He'll do so defensively just in case. He doesn't know what's around him. DC 17 and he has +24, so can't fail.

Grota bows. "Let us continue."

Wow, I was looking at the wrong map. Apologies.

FYI, Kaz and Valrar, you were teleported to the enemy. Grota can use abundant step on others. Tried to make that clear but guess I didn't enough.

• Advice +3 (like Inspire Courage)
• Barkskin +5

Swift Action
"The situation is dire and we've just begun!"
Grota begins advising on the situation. Advice.

Move Action
"Getting into position is crucial." Using a ki point to use abundant step to Teleport the Melee next to the former emperor. Full attacks!

Actually at a loss for my standard action... Grota can be useful without doing a standard! He doesn't have Dimensional Agility anyway...
