Guruthos's page

Hey folks, thanks for the well-wishes. It was great playing with yall too. Thomas, I tried those things, I just really hate posting on my mobile phone. Paizo is blocked on my work computer, and my personal computer is so old and slow that unless I am getting on it for something else (like I am now) it's not worth firing up every day just to post. I'll be getting a new computer in the near future, but for now, it's better just to bow out so yall aren't held up by me.

If yall ever play on any of the Discord servers, my handle is Triballion#3388.

Hey folks, this format isn't working well for me. I always forget to log in and post. It looks like you have a full active crew now, so since we're at a way point, I think I'm going to retire from the game. Guruthos will take his reward and head off into the wilderness or some such.

Hope this doesn't put a kink in your plans. Thanks for being a great gaming group. hope yall enjoy the rest of the game.

Guruthos does not want the sword.

Stone, if your offer to plug my por file into your HLC is still up, I'd like to take you up on it, if just to get the spells from his familiar. How can I get the file to you?
Edit: disregard, just saw your DM.

No, the web wand

I rolled for Gu. Didn't recall that avg was an option.

Sheaorlis I installed pc Gen yesterday and it is pretty good so far. Deciding whether I want to use that or Pathbuilder.

I may take you up on that Stone. I can't tell what spells are in his familiar other than what he has prepared. How can I send you the file? I'm on Discord if that helps.

The masked elf simply shrugs at Stone's inquiry and seeks out whomever holds the wand.

Gu's HP: 1d6 ⇒ 5

I find myself having to rebuild Guruthos because my access to Hero Lab (Classic) is gone. I can't even open the old POR file for some reason.

Curious what yall use to build and manage your characters? I'd be fine with pencil & paper, but I'd prefer something that I can copy/paste stats from. Any good ideas?

Guruthos ignores the other weapons and examines the longsword. He takes it, hefts it and examines closely, then nods in approval and sets it down, then walks from the armory and shrugs.

Don't have detect magic prepared.

Guruthos eyes the wand with curiosity.

The masked elf sits up stiffly against the wall with a horse groan. His mask jostles a bit, giving a slight view of the twisted visage beneath. He quickly adjusts the mask and waves away Jori's concern as one would a pestering child. Perched on a nearby rock, the raven caws at him and cocks her head, to which he responds with a rough grumble in a and narrowed eyes. Once he regains his wits, he stands and begins moving the bodies to the side, motioning the spiral over his chest as he moves each.

Wow, didn't think a will save had a chance!

The masked elf wobbles, struggling to stand. The pain clouds his mind, filling his ears with the sounds of wings, beating, approaching him slowly from behind...

He doesn't bother to turn around. He knows Mori is back there, waiting for him. He needed to do something. Fool, you should have learned a healing spell.

Through his blurred vision, he sees the minion kobolds crumble. He looks to their leader, and sees the small beast fall. No, it thrashes about. It is still a threat.

Mustering the dark powers within him, he looks between the allies before him, holding a single finger to the slit that serves as the mouth of his mask, and whispers, "Shh!"

The sound of the beating wings closes in on him, and darkness pours over his vision before he can tell if his hex succeeded.

Slumber hex, will DC 14. Sorry y'all, that's all I have without an attack.

yes wss intended for 2nd round. I also intended to tumble past them but forgot. I need to stop posting on mobile because I apparently forget things! Sorry.

reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Disregard. I see GM rolled for me above.

Deftly dodging the webbing, Guruthos moves to exit the mess.
Escape: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Once clear of the burning web, the elf draws his mithril dagger and dashes between two kobolds to flank the one fighting the cleric.

square north of yellow, west of blue.

Guruthos feels the divine magic course through him, and resists the urge to snarl at the caster for touching him.

Instead he focuses his anger on the kobold chief, casting a dark spell and pointing his finger at the small tyrant.

ray of enfeeblement: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 15
fort dc15 for half
strength damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

I screwed it all up. Forgot to include the -2 to the attack, then rolled 2d6+2 for strength damage before realizing I was reading it very wrong. I think the forums keep my original first roll. Sorry for confusion.

Can we retroactively say that when Gu returned to the party with the Alchfire, he offers vials of it to whomever would like it? I don't see him toting around 12 of them. He would keep 2-3 of them.

The masked elf breaths a sigh of relief as the removes the last of the vials. Still not convinced there isn't a second trap, he looks around carefully to make it is safe. When he is confident, he returns to the party and waves them forward.

whew! How many are we able to collect?

Guruthos waves a hand at the others, irritated with the noise being made, and slowly approaches the fine object.

Though he is absolutely certain he will regret doing so, the masked elf turns away from the northern tunnel and heads west. Choosing to look for traps rather than remain stealthy, he grumbles a few words and causes a nearby stone to radiate with magical light. He picks up the stone and tosses it about 10 feet ahead of him, and cautiously searches for the trigger to the trap he is certain he is walking into.

Do I need to keep rolling trapception?

Clarification: is the oil in the hallway to the northern room, or the West? I thought we were checking the northern room so that would make sense, but not sure where we'd go "through."

Guruthos looks around to see if there's something that would ignite the oil.

trapception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Yes, I've already messed up the map twice. :)

As my friend said (when he read about Ragathiel after I played an inquisitor of his), Ragathiel is the Chivelry, Duty, Vengeance, and Emo kids. :P

Guruthos ignores the half-orc and takes a moment to drag the dead kobold's body to the side, then motions the spiral over his chest. He then turns to the tunnels, and quietly makes his way up the Eastern-most tunnel.

stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

I think I got mixed up. Do we need to go to the room to the north?

Get well soon T-dawg.

Hanzo, being a old grouch is what I do. :P

Hanzo (and anyone else who cares), Gen Con was a blast, and exhausting.

Thursday: 3 slots of Pathfinder Society 2nd edition! That's right, 12 hours of PFS2e. I got my CRB in the mail just in time before we left for vaca, but at the Con I picked up the Bestiary, GM screen, condition cards, and init tracker. Paizo got a lot of my $$. The games themselves were pretty awesome, and we had some great GMs.

We were staying with some friends who live in Carmel (about 25 minutes north of the con) and I didn't get back until 1am, so I was exhausted.

Friday: I chose to forgo my morning game (Demon Hunters Fate Core game by Zombie Orpheus), hoping to catch it at a later time. Unfortunately I was unable to. Maybe next time. Instead I met up with some friends whom I had not seen in years. After spending some time with them, I wandered the exhibit hall for a bit (got Margaret Weiss to sign "happy birthday" card for a mutual friend of hers & mine), then went to my afternoon game: Castaways (Cypher system). A lot of fun! But I left early to go have dinner with my wife and a few good friends.

Saturday: Mostly shopping. Picked up Catan & Catan Jr for our gracious hosts and their kids. Got a few other books:
- Monte Cook's Your Best Game Ever,
- Fate Core Adversary's Toolkit,
- Jetpack 7's Legendary Dragons (It's a 5e supplement, and while I don't play 5e, the lore is very well written, and the artwork is gorgeous).

Also got a couple pieces of "mystery art" from JP7 because I am crazy about their artwork:
- fire priestess from their Gods & Goddesses book.
- owlbear babies from the Baby Bestiary.

I bought a couple GenCon t-shirts (black dragon for me, pride flag for wife), and a wallet, and a number of gifts for others. I spent the rest of the day hanging out with yet another group of friends (1 of whom spilled a drink on my PF2 CRB, but did minimal damage so I didn't beat him too hard).

Sunday: decided I'd had enough because I'm an old grouch and was ready for my own bed, so after being re-routed about 10 times by Indy construction, we finally drove home (next state over).

There you go, way more than you asked for! :D

Howdy yall, I'm back from vaca (and GenCon). Glad too meet you other group.

An uneasy groan emanates from beneath the elf's wooden mask.

Wait so we're not playing over here any more?

Anyone going to GenCon? I'll be there.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Guruthos turns down the left path.

The masked elf casts a sideways glance at the human rogue, then searches the kobold an surrounding area for traps. If he finds none, he makes a more through search of the body. Once complete, motions the spiral over his chest and says a prayer to Pharasma, making a mental note of the location of the body with the intention of returning to give it a proper burial.

trapception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

The masked ef quietly steps past the party and looks down the hole. If there's no apparent danger, he will descend first.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
+1 for traps
climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Ok. Sorry I have been M.I.A. I will put a reminder in n my phone to check this at least once a day.

Guruthos whispers a grunt and points to the other tunnel, then leads the way,watching for traps and ambushes, of course.

Sorry for the absence y'all. I never realized how much I updated at work until they blocked the site.

Guruthos snaps out of the strange memories the scales brought forth and rejoins the party, watching for traps and ambushes.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Guruthos examines the scales to see if he can determine what sort of creature they came from.

knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Arcana, local, and planes are +8, and religion is +9. Those are his only knowledges

Guruthos frowns at the pile of filth, then nods a bit too eagerly at Thomas' suggestion. He crosses back over the pit and scouts back through the tunnel quietly.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

At least, he attempted to be quite, but as he crossed the pit, his heal catches a sharp rock that causes a clicking sound as he walks.

Have a good time!

Guruthos hops over the pit with ease.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Guruthos motions the spiral of Pharasma over the bodies (as he did over the fallen kobolds). He makes a mental note to come back and retrieve the bodies to give them a proper burial hen time permits.

Guruthos points at the puny creature, and says, "Shh!"

slumber hex, dc14

Guruthos turns to the little black bird and asks her to fly up and push down the ladder, but she is apprehensive after being injured.

Guruthos turns to the little black bird and asks her to fly up and push down the ladder, but she is apprehensive after being injured.

Guruthos moves forward so he can see around the bend and points at the last kobold (purple) and says "shh!"

slumber, will save dc14

Sorry for the inactivity y'all. Work blocked paizo and that's where I usually think to update. I'll make it a point to check on my phone more often.

The masked elf snarls and unleashes an arrow at the remaining kobold on the far ledge (red).

bow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 5

The masked elf howls in frustration. This is NOT how he prefers to face an enemy. He begins to wonder if this quest was really worth the money.
