Grunyak''s page

Don't mind my tears, I always cry at happy endings. Because it is so sad that the goodness is over. I will miss having this game to check every day. I am so grateful to have had this game to play. With everything going on, it has been a real gem. I have lost my 2 steady face to face games, though one is struggling back. I have completely enjoyed this game. Thank you all. Can't echo enough the incredible imagery, GM Pudding, I ready enjoyed this time. I learned a ton about the game and how to run it from you all. Thank you.
Please, any of you if you ever need another player, i am always ready and willing to game.
Grunyak, aka Wydroe

"Do we need to go settle up with Drune. He sent us in knowing exactly what we would find. Why all the games?"

Grunyak pulls out the wand of cure moderate wounds with 20ish charges left and asks, "Who would like some healing?"

Are we continuing to confront the Magistrate or do w ride off into the sunset with the end credits rolling by?

Grunyak applies a touch of good to Eldrin. "Get away friend you have done good here."

He then begins his full round to leave himself.
concentration with wisdom: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 5 = 31

Does combat casting help here? Grunyak has it. Plus what cany we do if we stay for others. I have several touch of good that will help with +4 on attack rolls , ability checks , savings throws, skill checks for one round. Is this something I could give to those trying to leave?

"I want to know you have all made it out. I might be able to help.".

Grunyak delays to see how many can get out.

"Aren't we supposed to hide the stone in a planar pocket in this dreamscape or something like that? Supposed to make it so as no one else can ever use it again." "That is why we came hear, right!" Grunyak grumbles away. "We need to do the ritual again." "That will banish the stone."

"Can we rest in this world, maybe in the place Madame Carrington rested?"

Grunyak, being unable to get to Nahum without pressing his protective circle against the demon, decides his most useful action would be to heal Hux. "I hope that knife of yours has done for him. I can't reach him." "But take this."
He reaches over and taps Hux again with the curing wand.
cure mod wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 8) + 3 = 16
Hux, I hope you killed him because I can't get to him or fire at him from where I am.

Grunyak uses the blessing of fervor forthe extra movement. He hustles around the shadow Naham pulling out his wand of cure moderate wounds. He taps Hux with the wand as he gets close.
wand of cmw: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1) + 3 = 6

Grunyak uses 45 feet of movement i believe. Arrows for path soon.
I moved Eldrin 30' to the north wall. Thank you, Eldrin.

Arhhg, I forgot to add the blessing of fervor to my last attack. Well, heck. FYI, Grunyak is out of channels.
Grunyak, unable to get to Hux without letting the demon have a way to Eldrin, says, "Eldrin, move in. I want to get to Hux. But, when I move the demon will close in on us."
Delaying to see what Eldrin does.

Grunyak levels his arm palm out. "Torag, burn him."
acid bolt vs touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
acid damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Grunyak mumbles something reaching over he lays a hand on Taariik.
He prays, Not air walking but healing, mighty Torag."
cure critical wounds instead of air walk: 4d8 + 8 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 4) + 8 = 19

"No more sword slinging, Now pound this punk into the pavement."

Taariik, i thought you used your 'smite evil' on this guy. Maybe not.

Grunyak will take the +2 to reflex, to hit and dmage.

reflex vs cold: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 9

probably doesn't matter +1 is for the prot evil. Grunyak only has a +1 cloak of resistance so he gets a little boost there.

He then channels positice energy even though it will get the demons and Naham.
positive energy: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 4) = 16

I figure it is better to have more people attacking but it is a gamble.

"Are you shutting the doors or are you going after Naham?"

Grunyak, seeing Dru move Taariik closer, pulls out the new wand they just found. "Thank you, Dru, but I think this situation requires more powerful healing." "We need him to help quickly."
cure mod wounds charge: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 7) + 3 = 16
Grunyak administers the healing with a tap of the wand.

"Dru, move Taariik closer. He needs healing but I can't move closer to you or I risk loosing my protection. It is the only thing holding the demons back."

Grunyak waits to see what Dru does.

Presumably Grunyak knows how his spell works. Would he know that Dru can move and act without fear of the demons? I as a player don't know for sure but that is how I interpret the spell vs summoned evil outsiders. If he thinks Dru can grab and drag Taariik back, he will continue to hold. Else if it puts Dru in danger of AoOs, he will act differently.

Grunyak moves into the room. He surveys the situation and having just the spell casts stablize on Taariik. He moves around the shadow to the South getting just into the rock room.
Is the shadow Nahum still active? Or can we ignore it and move about normally? Grunyak will use the +30 feet of movement.

Grunyak, shaking his head to clear it, shouts, "I MUST HELP MY FRIENDS!" He rushes up the stairs and readies to cast "Blessing of ferver" once Dru returns and he can get the three, Hux, Dru and Taariik as well as himself.
will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
If he can't get into the room far enough he will just move back into the room with a double move to be 5' diagonally from Taariik but not next to the creature. Marked with blue dat

Sounds good to me. I just missed where the save was rolled and it was late too for me. I was tired. I also now realize Grunyak was down five hp from an earlier fight probably with sally. I guess Grunyak is a typical healer, worried about everyone else and forgeting about himself.

reflex save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Not sure but add additional+2 if prot evil works against it. It may only be +1 if prot evil does not stack with cloak of resistance.

Grunyak retreats until he can't see the cultist. We don't get a save? Not sure what happened there? Movement help please. If not i will move grunyak in the morning.

Yep, probably need to before we waste more resources. Who needs healing? I have a CLW wand and a CMW wound to use.
Grunyak pulls out his cure moderate wounds wand and heals Hux wuth charge 42. Then hits Dru and Taariik with the light wounds wand.
CMW on Hux: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11
clw chrg4 on dru: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
clw chrg3 on Taariik: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Grunyak will examine the body from as close as possible without entering the cloud.
"What happened here?"
heal check: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Grunyak levels his arm again palm out. "Hold still you overgrown mosquito." "Torag more acid, please." He fires a bolt of acid at the one directly in front of him.

acid bolt 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
acid damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Grunyak then steps back allowing Dru a place to retreat to. "Dru, you can have my spot. You don't want to be encircled."

No worries. It is all good. I'm having a great time. Adventurers would probably have misunderstandings in character. I just played it off as the group ignores Grunyak sometimes. He is being very bossy.

Looks like Dru is up and just had fly cast on her. We can wait or bot her. I am not in any hurry. Up to the GM, I would suggest she at least fly out and position herself in front maybe readying as well. That should prevent these things from flying in and grappling all of us.

Either way, Dru, have fun on your road trip. I hope it is for fun and not for work. Take care and drive safe.

Grunyak moves through the door.to the spot in front of Dru.
"Why did we open this door, I wanted the one at the end of the other hall." "Hexk, those things are ugly." "Torag return this thing to a more useful state of matter." Praying Grunyak levels his arm palm extended.
acid bolt vs touch no. 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
acid dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Grunyak taps Hux with is wand of cure light wands, charge no. 5.
clw charge 5: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
"That aught to take the sting away."

Later after using the stairs. "I think the spider room should be checked before we continue. Again, I hate having surprises come up from behind."

Grunyak will gesture with his axe at the door at the North end of the hall. "Unless you just think it best to straight to the beroom."

Grunyak moves in after Hux. "I'll help with the cultist"

Moves in 20' beside Hux and swings his axe.
magic axe with pa two handed: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 - 2 = 10
dmg slashing: 1d8 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 6 = 14

movement help please, should end up beside Hux on the left.

Grunyak will take charge of the cmw wand and tap Taariik with it.
chge 43 of wand: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6) + 3 = 15

GM, that is exactly right. Grunyak only wanted to start up the stairs. I forgot he had haste and prayer to apply to his atk, but it really would not have mattered.
"We should probably peek in that last room prior to heading upstairs. I would hate to have something come up behind us."

Grunyak extends his arm palm out towards the retreating hag.
"Melt, you miserable hag."
A streak of greenish acid flys from grunyak's palm at Sally.
acid bolt 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
acid damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Hope she is not immune to acid. Should be against touch AC.

He then pursues as far as the first 5' of stairs.
need movement help 20' towards Sally.

Grunyak casts. "Torag, I pray for your help.
Casts prayer, 40' burst, +1 to atk, weapons damage, saves and skill checks. Enemies get -1 to the same. It is a luck bonus.

He then pulls out his cold iron hammer.

"I'm not the best at this negotiating thing, but how do we know Mrs Carrington is even still alive? Let one of us examine her and see that she is still breathing at least to know you are negotiating in good faith." "How about you put her down and step back, and I'll come forward and take a look? If she is okay, I step back and you can take up your hostage again. If she is not, you will have a head start at getting away." "What do you say?"
diplomacy to aid, bargain: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

I don't know what else to do but keep her talking. Maybe someone with a silver tongue can do better. Can anyone thing of how to distract the hag? Perhaps ask her to release the hostage in exchange for a ride home after we kill the mad priest guy. Or flatter her and ask ot see her business card. Maybe ask for a demonstration of her shape changing ability? Maybe an illusionary book and key we place and back way if she will put down Carrington and move away.

Grunyak through a smile and not moving his lips whispers, "Distract her and I will channel."

Grunyak pulls out his trust clw wand an taps Dru 6 times.
6 clw charges of wand: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 7, 6, 8) + 6 = 39

"Only five uses left. With this a lot of good adventures and boon companions have been saved. I don't know what I will do without it."

Grunyak pulls his last scroll of lesser restoration. "I try to never deign healing, so I will use this. Please everyone try to use caution. We have no way to help those with unusual wounds going forward."

He then cast the lesser restoration from the scroll on Dru.
lesser restoration on Dru: 1d4 ⇒ 3

He then uses one of the 2 remaining cure moderate wounds scrolls on Dru.

cure moderate wounds on Dru: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6) + 3 = 15

Grunyak pulls out his bag of scrolls. Pulling out a lesser restoration scroll, he begins reading it to heal damage to Drusilla's intelligence.
After 3 rounds, Grunyak will touch Drusilla to heal her.
lesser restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 2

He then pulls out another scroll and casts it on Drusilla.
cure moderate wound scroll: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 7) + 3 = 14

"I have two more lesser restoration scrolls, how should we proceed? One for each of you, Dru and Taariik?"

"By the gods, get out of there Dru! We need to attack from range."

Grunyak concentrates and prayers, "Torag, heal us with your positive energy."
channel number 4 to heal: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 5) = 11

The spiritual hammer continues to strike at the Baku.
hammer blow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
force damge: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

hammer blow interative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
force damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

I can heal but I can't do anything until we are out of combat for the intelligence damage.

Just asking, how long does it take to cast lessor restoration from a scroll? The spell says 3 rounds. But is it the same for the scroll? I think so.
"Dru, you don't looks so good. Be careful."
Could Hux use air walk to flank? I can cast it on him or Taariik. I think we need more stuff hitting it. That intelligence damage is a killer.

The spiritual hammer continues to swing at the baku.
hammer blow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
force damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
iterative hammer blow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
force damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Grunyak pulls out his wand of cure light wounds and taps Taariik.
clw charge: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"Hux, I have alchemical fires and acid in my bag. I think they may have better results." "I am not sure the best way to get them to you." "If you can, try my dwarven war hammer. It is cold forged iron from the depth of five kingdoms."
You all are welcome to use anything Grunyak owns. I just don't know how to efficiently get it to you.

Grunyak's hammer continues after the baku.
hammer blow 1st: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
force damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
iterative hammer blow 2nd: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
force damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

"Torag, not protection, but healing." Grunyak changes protection from evil to cure light wounds. He then moves forward and attempts to heal Taariik.
cure light wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 Assuming he lets Grunyak touch him.

Grunyak calls out to Torag for healing energy, "Heal us, mighty one.

channel Positive energy to heal: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 6, 4) = 20

He directs the hammer to the attack the Baku.
hammer blow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
dmg force: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"The bow will be best right now. Step back and start peppering it."
Grunyak encourages the maiden warrior. "We can draw it down through the doorway."

do spiritual weapons have a miss chance? I think so.
less than 21 misses: 1d100 ⇒ 55

Grunyak directs the hammer against the last creeper. He then calls to Torag. "Let your energy destroy the undead abomination. It was never ment to be like this."

hammer against creepy kid: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

channel of positve energy to harm undead: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 5) = 12

move to direct to hammer and standard to channel.

force dmg hammer: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Grunyak mumbles something, "Torag, lend me your hammer."

Grunyaks casts spiritual hammer and uses it to attack the most wounded Creepy kid.

hammer blow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
force dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Dru, move back. I can heal you, but you'll have to come to me. If I move forward my protection will possibly fail."

What is with all the natural 1's???

Grunyak will swap remove blindness/deafness for a cure serious wounds.

Grunyak mumbles something under his breath as he grabs his silver hammer of Torag hanging from his belt, "Not blindness, but heal this warrior."

Grunyak casts cure serious wounds and reaches out and touches Taarrik on on the back.
cure serious wounds: 3d8 + 8 ⇒ (8, 2, 2) + 8 = 20

Taariik regains some of this color and his hair burns brighter. Taariik heals 20 hit points.

"The Baku is a juju zombie. It is immune to magic missiles and electricity. It is resistant to fire."

Not much else to do, Grunyak rings out with what he does know about the creature now undead.

This fight is not going to be easy. Grunyak can make a weapon a holy lance but it is a standard action. Plus he has align weapon as a domain spell. Again it would use his action for that round. He will probably need to start healing Taariik and Dru or we will loose our damage dealers. I think i will heal with a channel but not sure if the creepy kids would heal as well. I am open to suggestions.

"Protect us, lord Torag."

Casts protection from evil 10' circle.

"Use silver weapons or good aligned weapons. These things have resistance."

+2 to ac and +2 to saves and protects from mind control.

Grunyak takes this opertunity to pull out and use his pearl of power lvl2 to better prepare himself. He concentrates on getting to spell spiritual weapon back.
"If we hit incorporeal creatures the power of Torag's weapon will be needed to smack these cultists with his might."

"Sure, Taariik. It will take a little while to use. 24 seconds or so. And this will be number 3 of the six I have used."

Grunyak pulls out another lessor restoration scroll and uses it on Taariik.

ability point restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Grunyak sees his axe not damaging the blob as much as it should. He moves his axe to his left hand and draws out his hammer.
He swings the hammer at the blob
"Die, blob. Give me my friend back. He is not food."
hammer blow cold iron with penalty: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 4 = 23
dmg bludgeoning: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9
