Hemket's page

I would look forward to another.

I will also say, I'm not looking forward to trying to challenge people with 10 tiers +level 20. I build the characters for a couple of my players since they don't know the rules that well and don't have Hero Lab, and I cannot resist optimization. Hence I know how bad it will look since I already built a few at 20. .

Honestly I think the GMing was perfectly fine. The persistence in taking it all the way when you put in mythic which makes it even harder to balance is pretty damned respectable.

I have a face to face table of WotR and a pbp table here. They are completely divergent in levels of optimization so far. Hence I won't even be able to just reuse the face to face encounters for the pbp bunch.

Of course the stuff from the actual module was seemingly written with the expectation that the players optimized as well as stones.

Thanks for the game Pox. Having the fortitude to finish a high level AP even throwing in mythic is quite a feat.

I suppose a win is a win

"Well that seems a lot more like a whimper than a bang, but as least we're alive and he isn't. "

I guess that means Hemket didn't get grappled, and was unharmed by the meteor swarm other than being prone and deaf now.

He will get back up and take a shot at the golem.

to hit: 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (3) + 35 = 38 damage: 1d8 + 27 ⇒ (3) + 27 = 30

At one point Amarantha said he cast a list of spells on the group. Some of them were single target, so I'm a bit fuzzy on if she meant everyone. If so Freedom of Movement was among them and Hemket was not grappled.

Need to know what she actually did.

"Ow! What the hell was that?"

There's a chance he fails his save. You can roll the big damage too.

Hemket will activate his boots of speed and unload on the big baddie.

Still waiting to see if the wall of force comes down. Also waiting to see if people will bargain with the demons before I decide to mow them down.

Waiting to see if someone opens a shooting lane.

Hemket will attempt to sneak closer to him for a shot.

stealth: 1d20 + 29 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 29 + 2 = 36

Hemket will try to sneak in if possible.

stealth: 1d20 + 29 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 29 + 2 = 34 derp

Hemket gets out of the magic killing field.

"Nice of him to warn us and all. " he whispers to the party.

No huge rush.

Updated Hemket to 17th.

Added improved initiative.

I fully sympathize. I'm running both an online of WotR as well as a home game of it. The home game has 7 players on top of it being mythic.

Every encounter has to be fully reworked to not be a joke.

I had one encounter where you are to fight 1 mythic baddie, with 2 CR 12 demons on their side, with 1 mythic baddie helping you (grudge).

I switched it so they fought 3 CR 19 demons as well as both mythic baddies. They weren't terribly threatened.

I've learned that the mythic they wrote up is generally laughable.

Hemket will shoot at the stunned critters since he knows he can't hurt the boss.

Hemket seeing his chance, will open up on the enemy caster. He will spend a surge for distant barrage

Since there is a wall in the way, Hemket will delay until there's no wall.

Yeah, at best scent might pinpoint the enemy location, but I have to close to 30' for that.

Remind me of the 1/day ability

Hemket knowing he's in a bad place, but still can't see threats, moves back out into the hallway.

Is this darkness penetrable by darkvision or not?

Still waiting for information on what was done to me. As I don't have spellcraft, I do have to wait for someone to clue me in before I do something or I am metagaming a bit much for comfort.

Hemket will delay since he can't see any target (the darkness is still there right?).

fort save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23 damn, no point in a surge with that roll

perception: 1d20 + 32 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 32 + 2 = 49 to localize where the breathing is coming from.

Hemket is short on ideas of what he can do to help, so he ponders the deeper meanings of existence.

"Any way to get to that hall without going through the room? If it sucks away my bow, I'm a bit useless. It's immune to arrows anyway. "

Hearing that arrows won't work, Hemket stays back.

Well I have a bow made of mithril, so I'm not much help.

Hemket will search the room.

perception: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (10) + 32 = 42

I'll be on vacation starting this evening until next Sunday (22nd). As I won't have a laptop (and thus Herolab), I'll not really be likely to post much. Bot me as needed.

He'll open it and see where it goes.

Just realized they were blind and I should be doing sneak attack. Moot anyway.

Hemket will check out the secret door to see if it is trapped.

perception: 1d20 + 32 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 32 + 8 = 47

He will rotate through clockwise if it drops.

Hemket will continue to volley at his target.

Hemket will take his shot at the closest one. (to the east assuming north is up)

Just waiting to see if buffs are done. If not I'll start shooting.

Hemket will move up north and ready to unleash his volley of owie.

We probably need to decide on a good location so they can be kept off of us. Then get any buffs up.

Hemket moves back to his position on the party behind his tanky comrade.

over the mindlink I rather think we should destroy these things before they activate. We certainly can't leave them in here behind us.

Close look around the room.

perception: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (17) + 32 = 49

Hemket will follow the others through.

Hemket will skip the loot for now. Won't help and might come with consequences.

Hemket will open the sarcophagus.

"Yeah, no reason to make extra trouble. "

"Perhaps I should check for traps in there?" and he sneaks his way in looking around.
