Hector, The Flame of Liberty!'s page

Chronicle downloaded! Thanks for providing the summary of the rest of the events. Gives some closure. And thanks for taking this all on, and to all the players for a fun group!

I'll ditto Caduceus. And GM Abraham, no need to apologize!

Hi all! Don't want to be a party pooper, but as we approach the 2 year anniversary, I've found myself drifting away from PF 1st Ed. and just not playing as much PbP as I used to; so I'm fine with calling it. I don't want to leave anyone in a lurch, but there are still 4 of you, so I think you'd be fine since it was written for 4 anyway. Thanks to GM Abraham for all the work and dealing with what are some of the most complicated encounters I've seen just in terms of pure number of combatants. Thanks to all 5 of you for an enjoyable time!

Ditto!

“This mission has been cursed from the start, but the Flame is not quenched by red jelly rain. Any sorcerous fireballs to clear some of this mess?”

He then races to rescue the baby, piercing foes whenever they cross his path.

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & haste & weather: 1d20 + 18 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 18 + 1 - 2 = 18
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 5 = 19

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

"Make ready, friends. Looks like jelly rain is on the move."

Hector unsheathes his rapier.

"Should have kept the head. The rest of you could be ruling this place!

"Well, that could have gone better."

"Perhaps the wizard might know tell of our prey? Zoarth is an arcane practitioner, so perhaps we are dealing with another arcane giant, and word gets around?"

Hector would like to restock his supply of potions of fly. Will spend the gold for 3 of them.

"Perhaps we should check in with whatever government or military leaders are in town?"

Just fyi, I'm here and following, but swamped this week, so happy to just see it play out.

sounds like Heccan is on point. Let's get to the bottom of this attack on our erstwhile ally.

Hector will get out his lock picks and take his time to open the lock on the chest Take 10 for a 25.

When they arrive at the argument, Hector looks to his fellows and whispers, "Seems like the setup to a bad joke: An ettin, a giant and a cyclops walk into a bar . . ."

Hector leans on this blade, trying to catch his breath.

More than happy to have it called!

Hector steps forward, and attacks the Red singed troll. If the first attack drops it, he’ll shift the next attack to the adjacent brown troll.

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & bless & haste: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 18 + 2 = 39
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 5 = 15

Attack #2 w/Rapier +2 & bless & haste: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 18 + 2 = 31
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 5 = 18

Attack #1 crit confirm?: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 2 = 32
#1 crit dmg?: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Hector will parry and riposte first attack from a troll.

Hector slides forward and continues his attacks on the green giant
Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer & haste on giant: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 3 = 33
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 + 5 = 21

#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 + 5 = 19

Dang it, posted yesterday but it got eaten. You can see I moved Hector.

Hector gives chase and attacks
Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer & haste on giant: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 18 + 3 = 40
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 + 5 = 16

Attack #1 crit confirm?: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 3 = 28
crit dmg?: 1d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 = 11

Hector pursues the fleeing giant and attacks.
He’ll attempt a parry and riposte if the elemental takes an AoO, but then not do so on the other end with the giant

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer & haste on giant: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 18 + 3 = 24
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 + 5 = 17

Hector is too intent on his prey to bother with parrying. He slides forward and full attacks the green giant.

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer & haste: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 3 = 25
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 + 5 = 19

Attack #2 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer & haste: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 18 + 3 = 30
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 + 5 = 16

Attack #3 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer& haste: 1d20 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 3 = 23
#3 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 + 5 = 21

He will attempt to parry and riposte the first attack from the elemental.

Yes, sorry, 5 points precision. That's what I get from cutting and pasting too much!Thanks for catching it.

Hector pursues the retreating green giant, and attacks.
Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer & haste: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 3 = 33
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 14

Hector will ignore the attack of opportunity from the elemental, but will attempt to parry the giant’s attack.

"I'm going after the the one in the southwest!"

Hector, using the super speed of haste, double moves, skirting along the edge of the the stinking cloud, to almost close the gap on one of the elemental hurlers.

Hector shifts next to the brown elemental and full attacks.
“Where are these living rocks coming from! Can someone take out the source?!”

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer & haste: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 18 + 3 = 23
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 16

Attack #2 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer & haste: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 3 = 35
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 12

Attack #3 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer& haste: 1d20 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 3 = 34
#2 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 13

Dang it, posted hours ago, but boards ate it.

Hector continues to shift away from the insane wolf tornado, and continues his attacks on the green ball of rock.

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer & haste: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 18 + 3 = 39
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 15

Attack #2 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer & haste: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 3 = 31
#1 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 14

Attack #3 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer& haste: 1d20 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 3 = 33
#2 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 12

AC with haste is 31; note I took out precision dmg from attack above due to elemental foe

Hector shifts a bit away from the cacophony of wolves, and attacks the ball of rock.

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer: 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 18 + 1 + 1 = 28
#1 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 18

Attack #2 w/Rapier +2 & bless & prayer: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 1 + 1 = 29
#2 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 18

So the Monte Cook seems to really like throwing MANY creatures into fights, huh? Just brutal for GM to keep track of everything. This is one place where being PbP makes it easier, I would think, than trying to run this live at a table.

Hector will attempt to parry and riposte the first attack.

Having engaged the confused giant in combat, Hector knows the only end is when one of them falls, so he shifts away from the dire wolf and attacks the orange giant.

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 & bless: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 18 + 1 = 32
#1 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 5 = 16

Attack #2 w/Rapier +2 & bless: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 1 = 32
#2 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 5 = 19

Attack #2 crit confirm?: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 1 = 22
#2 crit dmg?: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

not going to parry - feels like this is going to be a long day!

Hector stabs at the reeling giant who stumbles away.

Attack of Op w/Rapier +2 & Bless: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 18 + 1 = 24
#1 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 5 = 18

Seeing enemies closing on those behind him, Hector retreats to aid Tytus, calling out for Cad to fall back as well. Closing on the orange giant provokes, but Hector stabs at him once he is near. not going to bother to parry the AoO

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 18 + 1 = 27
#1 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 5 = 16

I'm ok with a retcon!

Hector darts forward and stabs at the red giant!

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27
#1 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 5 = 19

haste and stinking cloud both sound like good options. Cloud would also break line of sight, right? So we'd have some protection against raining boulders.

Seems that way to me, but worth seeing what Heccan can hear from the ones near us.

"Won't be long before those wolves catch our scent. I'm no tactician. One of you have some magic to change to battlefield, or do we just charge in, weapons drawn?"

I've frankly needed a break, but am ready to jump back in whenever. Good luck!

"If this was merely a hunting party of a larger war band, perhaps getting a bit closer and then resting so we can attack at full strength would be best." AKA B

"We will spare your wretched lives, but tell us, where do you come from? Who is your master?

I've lost the thread a bit, but we are looking for who sent the giants to attack the wizard-giant, right?

Hector lets out a ”Whooo!” at the sight of Anen’s fireball, before concentrating on taking down the monstrous bear.

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 w/ haste and flank: 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 18 + 1 + 2 = 24
#1 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 5 = 15

Attack #2 w/Rapier +2 w/ haste and flank: 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 18 + 1 + 2 = 23
#2 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 5 = 16

Attack #3 w/Rapier +2 w/ haste and flank: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 17
#3 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 5 = 15

Wow, 3, 2, 1 on attack rolls and 1, 2, 1 on damage rolls. Can't get much worse than that!

Hector circles around and attacks the bear wrassling with Cad.
assuming since pinned I can’t flank

Attack #1 w/Rapier +2 w/ haste: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 18 + 1 = 32
#1 dmg & 5 precision if applies: 1d6 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 5 = 15

Hector sticks his tongue out at the two giants closing on him, and withdraws back into the tangled undergrowth. withdraw, red arrow for path, should avoid aoo and that should be 120ft w/ haste and accounting for difficult terrain

My dad passed yesterday, so I'll be MIA for a bit. Please have someone bot me.

“You are even uglier up close! Ahh, I’m frightened I must runaway!” He then sticks his tongue out at him and prances away in a rather mocking fashion.

Hector withdraws, as fighting in this undergrowth does no suit him.

Hector discharges his enlarge ability into Caduceus and then hastens forward, entered the cover of the foliage and drawing his rapier as he draws nearer.

double move

"Caduceus, did you enjoy getting big and mighty? I could do that again if you want to go toe to toe with these brutes."

Will cast enlarge person on Cad if he'll accept it. If no, I'll move forward to my duplicated position on the map a ready to attack if one gets close enough for some reason.

Woohoo! What's the deal with the trees? Difficult terrain? Don't want to just sprint forward into a gang, but want to clarify that point first.

GM, no need for apology. Sorry to hear of the difficulties. Onward!

I teach teachers - used to be a Jr. High English and Social Studies teacher, now I train them in a secondary ed certification program. Love my job, but hate teaching online.

School year starts this week for me and I am NOT prepared. Hope everyone is doing ok.

Caduceus, what do you teach?

2020 is a real asshat of a year. Sorry to hear it GM Abraham.

My dad just entered hospice care, so I'm headed home in a few days to help my mom. Anyway, I might be rather sporadic, but will do my best to pop on and don't hesitate to bot if I'm slowing it down.

Just a note that I'm headed out of town tomorrow through the weekend. I'll try to continue to post, but it will likely be sporadic at best.
