Hallidan Regg's page

I think I'm going to have to drop this game, for reasons both in-game* and out**. Thanks for bringing me along, and have fun!

____________________

* I like Hallidan as a character but I think he's in the wrong campaign. I envisioned him as more of a classic knife-in-the-dark type rogue, which is pretty antithetical to being part of the city watch. (I didn't really know anything about Hell's Vengeance beforehand other than it's pro-Cheliax.)

** My life is a lot busier now than when we started a year ago, and I've discovered that even cutting my playload down to 2 is still too many right now.

"Oh. Yeah, I guess we should do it that way." Hal pats down the two brothers and relieves them of their possessions. "Okay, you two can have a trial-thingy. Hope we don't regret this..."

"Or don't," Hallidan adds, brandishing his sword. "Really I'm fine with either."

Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Ouch!

After successfully dodging between the two brothers's strikes, Hallidan is caught full in the face by the celestial's spell.

Whatever this... thing is that's on me, at least I can still hit *something.* He swings instead at the unwarded brother.

Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Hallidan forces his body to move despite the compulsion effect. I will see this done!

Hallidan closes the rest of the distance and strikes.

Shortsword vs blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Confirm crit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Oh well, still a hit.

Hallidan moves to the back of the fog cloud to hopefully get behind the boy.

Double move, enter fog.

Which slide are we on now? Is it slide 8?

Hal draws his sword. "If someone thinks they're funny they're sorely mistaken..."

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Hal stands patiently watching the proceedings. This guy doesn't beat his whelp much, does he? She's got some hard lessons to learn someday.

Sense Motive vs Jemmy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

I'd like to know if the girl's reactions are genuine or if she's trying to "up-sell" it at all.

Having no great ability to either convince or threaten, Hallidan lets his more persuasive allies take the lead.

"Eugh. We're going to have to clean this up, aren't we? Know any cleaning spells, Octavonius?" He looks around for any sign of where it came from.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Dicebot says "hard no."

"A fey creature of some kind I think. D'you know anyone who knows about fey creatures? This one did something to me and I need to know what. It's like... I have really bad luck or I can't move right or something."

"I sure hope you're right. If I had to be stuck like this forever I'd find a different line of work. Like dragon feeding."

"Good riddance I say, ain't about to break my neck chasing down some stupid trickster-thing that gets all into..." Hal trails off as he jumps back down to the lower floor.

What the bloomin' plagues is going on? Hal steps back further. "He-- he did something to me!" Hal says accusingly. "I can't move right!" Drawing a dagger with his free hand, he lets it fly at the small fey.

Dagger throw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Fall back. Good idea. Hal strikes and then backs up a step

Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
That's probably a no.

"You think I'm grabbing this thing?" Hallidan calls down. "No thanks!" He steps to get a different angle and swipes again with his sword.

Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Extra damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Having no idea what the creature is, Hallidan can only swing his sword. "Hah! Gotcha!"

Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Hallidan pulls back the canopy and stabs down into the chair. "Where are you, you cowardly little..."

Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Miss chance (high to hit): 1d100 ⇒ 61
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Ow! No, I don't see anything up here, but something definitely sees me!" Hallidan moves to the center of the room, hoping to spot whoever-- or whatever-- is doing the attacking.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

I guess we're all pretty similar weights, give or take, so yea I'm probably the most acrobatic.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Strength: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Hallidan takes three nimble steps up the human-tiefling pyramid and vaults up to the second story, barely managing to pull himself up the rest of the way.

Hoping he understood the signals correctly, Hallidan exits the tower but stays just outside the door.

"Shouldn't'a done that." Hal jumps back off the ladder and looks up at the trapdoor. "Fish in barrels aren't exactly threatening!" he calls out. "Come on, mates, let's just torch the place."

"I'm all for taking the quiet approach, but if anyone's in here they've probably noticed us." Hal draws his sword and heads for the ladder. "Let's see what we got."

Climbing the ladder with weapon drawn.

Seeing no sign of a threat, Hallidan rolls his eyes. "Probably asleep or drunk, or both. We should start carrying saps or something." He makes for the gate to make sure no one is outside it. "Guess we'll need to close this ourselves."

Can the gate be closed and barred by one person or do I need help?

"I still say he shouldn't be in here," Hallidan mutters a few days later, not for the first time. "Chaining a lycanthrope in a cell is only the second-best way to keep him from turning others. Third, if you count finding a cure." He doesn't specify in which order he would put the top two solutions.

After their cloud-shaped assignment is read to them, Hallidan chuckles. "Was a time when I'd have welcomed the idea of someone wandering into the city when they didn't belong. Now I gotta help fix it."

"Or get her taxes lowered. I ain't thrilled about paying her myself." Hallidan shrugs. "We could even pocket some ourselves. Get Fex to cut it in half, for 'services rendered' or some such, then we charge her three-quarters."

"You, uh..." Hallidan tries to avoid making direct eye contact with the hideous creature. "Know of anything that'll help us deal with one? Y'know, if there really are more?"

"We'll tell Razelago he attacked us and didn't survive the fight." Hallidan shrugs. "It's mostly true."

Whew!

"I ain't sure it's worth the risk. Damned pig was hard enough to put down the first time. We really want him breaking out again?" Hallidan readies one of his swords.

Hallidan circles outside the freakish man's reach, then darts inward. I have enough movement to avoid an AoO.

Shortsword + blessing + flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16
Damage + sneak attack: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (1) = 4

Badly wounded, Hallidan strikes and pulls back to put some distance between them.

Shortsword + blessing: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Then 5' step.

Aren't we all evil-aligned? Did Fellzir just channel to harm everyone except the enemy? Lol.

Painfully, Hallidan steps to a flanking position and stabs again.

Shortsword + flanking + blessing: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 27
Damage + sneak attack: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (4) = 8

Aurelius what square are you attacking from? On mine it looks like you aren't adjacent.

None whatsoever, even if he were to surrender. He did attack us, which is all the provocation Hallidan needs.

Hallidan moves to a better position opposite Aurelius.

Aurelius it looks like you aren't adjacent to the creature currently, so I'll need to know where you're attacking from so I can get into flank.

Acrobatics (if necessary): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Shortsword + blessing + flank: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 22
Damage + sneak attack: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (4) = 9

Hallidan steps around to the creature's other side to cut off its avenues.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Shortsword + bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I hope no one minds if I take the flanking position.

Rushing in while the creature is distracted, he positions himself opposite Amala and strikes at (what he assumes is) a vulnerable spot.

My darkvision negates the concealment.

Shortsword + flanking vs manbearpig: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18
Damage + sneak attack: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (6) = 11

What in the nine hells… Drawing his short sword, Hallidan seeks out the commotion. ”Playin’ a little too rough, are you la— Whoa!”

I don't have a problem letting him go, although I do need to kill someone for no reason in order to prestige later...

"Well that was... much deadlier than I expected," Hal admits. "But if that's everything here, we should head back. I need some sleep."

Hallidan quickly (and eagerly) lets the wizard take point against the spiders, having no way to disperse them.

Double move.

"What d'you see?" Hallidan asks, only half-listening as he explores the rightmost alcove. He squints his normal eye closed to allow his scarred one to reveal the darkness to him.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

I think I'm at 10 of 18. I got down to -6, then got fast healing 1 followed by a cure light wounds for 10(!) and a channel for 5. Unless I'm missing something?

Hallidan slowly returns to consciousness as the healing magic pours into him. "Wh-- what happened?"

How long does the fast healing last? Or is it already done?

I think the vine/plant/monster hit him in the appendix! (Too soon?)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAow
