Holg Redhawk's page

Thanks for waiting for me Brainiac, with the craziness going on in Europe these last two weeks, it has been tough to find the emotional focus to write down a final note for this character. But he deserved it, because it has been the most fun to play for over the last 4 years.

Thanks a lot for the opportunity to transfer Holg into your campaign, I am glad we made it all through. You are super-consistent and very nice person. A great experience.

And thanks everyone else also, the GM is always the most important but there cannot be a great campaign without the continuous and generous effort of the players.

I hope we will find more opportunities to play all together! :)

Will you hand PFS chronicles for this one? I do not play a lot of PFS but I like the kind of completed feel and memories the chronicles give and will take them if offered!

Holg is happy to emerge victorious and enjoys the more fatuous party of all their adventure, taking all the food and drink Kaska's kitchen has to offer and retelling once and again how the group destroyed Unity "And so Fiffteen cut the avatar from the back while Fireday smashed it in the front. I was just to call an earthquake and collapse everything over us, but they did it! It was a great battle! For the Torch Bearers!" he offers another toast and drinks.

After the party, Holg visits the tattoo cyberart saloon. Next to the tattoo in his back depicting Hellion's defeat, next to the tattoo in his chest fighting in the swamps of the Valley of the Spiders, and opposite to the one in his right arm defeating Xoud in the Choking Tower, the Kellid takes a new gorgeously animated tattoo in the other arm to forever remember their epic fight against Unity in the Divinity, under Silver Mount.

During the next days, Holg joins Fireday exploring Silver Mount, and making sure no robot remains a danger to Numeria. He trusts Fireday on activating the Divinity Drive for Casandalee, and enjoys defeating all the robots that cannot be put under orders of the new goddess.

Eventually though, the dangers are neutralized and the task of exploring and understanding the meaning of the trove of artifacts left there below, he leaves it to Fifteen and others who want to understand how to use this technology to make this world better.

The Kellid attempts to help Kaska secure her ruling, giving spiritual guidance and raising the morale of the Numerians that have been for just too long under the Technic League despotic regime. The work is tough and needed but after a year, Holg is just tired of palace intrigues. The subtleties of ruling are not ones he is good fitted for and eventually it becomes clear it is better for him to look in another direction.

Deciding he is prepared for it, Holg directs himself to the North, to the Worldwound. There he joins the crusaders that desperately fight the demons pouring out into the world of Golarion. The time there is dire, and yet the man fits perfectly, fighting host after host of demons. The battle against the forces of the Abyss seem never-ending, and yet he fights each day as if there will be no more. And so, Holg kept fighting until the last of the demons was brought back to their rift between planes.

Many many years after, Holg returns to Torch. Almost a venerable man, there he meets back with Khonnir and Val Baine. He passes the nights explaining all the adventures the Torch Bearers went through and the fights he found thereafter. On the mornings, he spends his time teaching new young Kellids on the ways of the old Kellids, the traditional art of the sword and the faith one must wear like an armor, an Iron Armor, to survive. He explains to the young ones about Casandalee the android in the stars and how he and his friends shaped her and put her there up.

But most important for him is his reencounter with Viv "Here I am as I promised" Despite their old age now, the years seem to have printed their passing much more softly on the android. And there, in the arms of his old lover, on the last years of his life, the faithful and furious warrior, finally finds the end of his adventures and discovers the overjoying happiness of Peace.

Holg observes Casandalee's ascension "I wish Coen was here to witness this. He was always looking at the stars and look now we are putting a new star in that sky"

She steps back to join her wife, "I just want to go home." She says simply. "Can we do that now?"

"Home." Holg smiles "Yes. Let's walk out of here. Casandalee, will you take care of this vessel?"

"We're going to have to restore her as quickly as possible, though I doubt she'll be pleased we struck the final blow without her."

Nodding to Fireday, Holg puts his hands over Gorum's holy symbol and recites a prayer "As your steel breaks the mountain, dent as well the stone that covers your faithful..." casting break enchantment to end the flesh to stone effect.

"I think I will go check how things are going for Kaska and let her know there is nothing for her to fear from Silver Mount now" putting finally his greatsword to rest, he also asks "What are we doing about the other androids that were living here. Shall we go convince them they are free now?"

Holg opens his handy haversack and picks a handful of metal devices gems "You mean this?"

"Well, I am not sure if I want another artificial intelligence taking control of this place, but if so, she must have the Strength to perform glorious fights and defend herself from evil intrusion" the Kellid picks the Ego facet and loads it on the system "I have no idea what we are dealing with though"

Keeping open the bag, he let's the others make their own picks and contribution to the result.

"Gorgeous destruction!!!" Holg echoes the First Blade banging his own fist with him.

He smiles to Molly as he finds out she is ok "I guess he had seen what you do with that musket and was peeing over himself about it. I am happy you are alright Molly."

"And yes, Unity is no more. Fifteen and Fireday taught him a few lessons as they sent him to the Void." the Kellid smiles enthusiastically, looking back to the Divinity Drive "Now what to do with that thing?"

"Shall I bring an earthquake over it and bury it on the vessel's remains?"

Triple Quadruple 20's Fifteen, nice way to end the Big BMad Evil fake God :)

BoF extra attack

"Not even that Fireday, the only thing that awaits this one is the void of the nothingness" Holg shouts back while he endures another hit from the angel "UNPLUG TIME UNITY!!!"

Holg requests Gorum a last destructive smite and goes full attack over the angel, showing his war mastery to adapt his style to attack the angel as his dedicated adversary "Join me First Blade, for Gorum!!!"

The particulate form keeps healing the team a bit.3 fast healing

What would be the most advantageous thing I could do in this situation? Part of me wants to wait in case Fifteen takes that damage so I can keep her in the fight with breath of life...

I think you are doing well Fireday, just keep hitting hard the fake god! Remember divine power gives you a hastened attack, so you have a 6th attack at your full BAB, and include your Two-Weapon Rend extra damage in your posts in case it applies.

Also, I noticed with righteous might, you are large, and according to the warpriest sacred weapon chart that augments your weapon damage from 2d6 to 3d6.

Other than that it only occurs to me of using your quickened blessing to gain some small bonuses against Unity.

Go go go! Let's do this! :D

EDIT:
The Starfall Spade allows for some extra plasma damage, I am not sure if that is already your +2 there.

Holg clenches his teeth as both Molly and Meyanda are suddenly taken by a single move of Unity and despite his obvious doubts he answers with a cocky tone "That is all? A real god would have sent us all to Hell with a snap!"

The Kellid endures the heavy hits of the angel minions while Gorum blessings attack back in retaliation, the holy aura trying to blind and the frightful aspect trying to frighten them.
CL vs SR (holy aura blinding): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 Fort DC 23
CL vs SR (holy aura blinding): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 Fort DC 23

CL vs SR (frightful aspect): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

When thunder comes and the First Blade makes appearance Holg's morale boosts, accepting the rage to come upon him while joining his voice to the guitar riff "TO GORUM'S GLORY!!!"

Holg raises his holy symbol, a wave of positive energy bathing the room but trying to avoid touching Unity.
Quick channel (move action) 4/7: 9d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2, 6) = 33

Blessing of Fervor for +2 attack and AC

Then, he steps forward to flank with the First Blade, delivering a destructive improved vital strike at the closest false angel "I will destroy my enemies to your glory Gorum!"
+4 adamantine greatsword-PA+FF+HF+FA+rage+BoF+flank: 1d20 + 26 - 4 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 26 - 4 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 37

3 is fire

The particulate form also further fast heals Holg and his friends.

I could have certainly been better at telling Meyanda she would benefit from going back and revising the Gameplay posts to confirm she was already fully healed. Certainly by my previous to last post my judgmental nerve had been touched. But I have no hard feelings for the player behind, some of the memorable moments of this campaign have been with him.

I get he is time pressed and tries to do his best to land his posts in here. Ultimately I understood from his last responses there is something more going on than just some hp up and downs, and maybe it has nothing to do with Holg or even this campaign, but anything I would say would only put more fire on it.

Just to be clear, Holg never wanted to reject Meyanda any healing.

And how do you think I do feel when you are writing in spite that you are not healed Meyanda?

Sorry, you had only taken this 19 hits. All the rest was fire damage which was absorbed by your Reflex saves and 120 protection from fire.

Even then I offered you to use the staff if you wanted to use it for healing, and Meyanda is a warpriest thus she can also use fervor and spells to heal herself if she needs to.

I have been very generously consuming my time tracking HP and healing (often using my character limited resources) for most of you for the whole campaign. I only ask you back that if I am telling you twice you are unscathed you consume your time and do at least the effort to go back and check the posts and find out you made some bad notes at some moment. Brainiac does also his work and checking back damage is pretty easy thanks to his damage tags at the end of the posts.

Well, I actually replied you here. As exposed before, Holg's channel removed the 19 damage Meyanda had received. Even if he had not channeled, 39 damage cannot be possibly killing Meyanda! '^_^

That's a shame for she had not even a single round :(

Holg used greater planar ally to call the First Blade before. Perhaps, if Gorum listened and is sending his herald, Molly can take control of him so she has at least some fun to do.

He has a plane shift prepared for the day, so, if we can manage some divination to find where she went, we can make a rescue travel if we survive this one.

@Meyanda
You just seemed to take 20 acid damage, it is not possible you are at the ground dying. Did I lose something?

Fort+heroes' feast DC 23: 1d20 + 20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 4 = 33
Holg clenches his teeth as the swords just hit on him hard, but manages to avoid the prismatic poison.

"Here it is First Blade, witness the true glory of fighting a fake god! Come and be the herald of these news to Gorum!" Holg shouts hoping the First Blade heard his previous call.

While the others charge forward, Holg steps back and brings another blessing to protect and heal everyone while they fight, casting particulate form.
Everyone gets Immunity to critical hits and fast healing 3

And finally the sacred truth revealed, Unity is in fact... Brainiac! An omniscient AI able to GM all Pathfinder APs in parallel! :D

I think the holy aura becomes relevant here, forcing the angels to roll against blindness (Fort 23) and the prismatic spray to pierce through SR 25. That is, assuming Unity and co are evil.

Also, if frightful presence renders shaken the second angel, his attack on Holg might be a failure. And if the greatswords are not magical, his DR is higher too thanks to same spell!

BoF +2

Ref DC 27: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 2 = 36
Exceptionally Holg emerges unscathed from the breath, as his faith protects him while charging forward towards the breathing statue.

"Stop sending us statues and angel toys and appear Unity!" Holg continues his advance forward, using his mastery for an improved vital strike on the dragon statue, his greatsword burning in flames.
+4 adamantine greatsword-PA+FF+HF+FA+BoF: 1d20 + 26 - 4 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 26 - 4 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 46
Adamantine/Slashing/Magical damage+lead blades+improved vital strike+PA+FA+sun metal: 12d6 + 16 + 12 + 4 + 1d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 6, 2, 6, 3, 5, 5, 3, 4, 2) + 16 + 12 + 4 + (1) = 81
1 is fire damage

The size of the Kellid is that one of a giant, his presence frightful enemies are shaken 30' around and his greatsword huge, falling on the statue with heavy weight.
Rationale on weapon damage:
large size (frightful aspect) 2d6 -> 3d6
lead blades 3d6 -> 4d6
improved vital strike 4d6 x3 -> 12d6

Holy aura gives a +4 resistance to saves, which should be +1 more than Fifteen's +3, that and BoF +2 bonus to Reflex might help her pass that Reflex save.

"Angels?" Holg raises an eyebrow and his sword at the same time "Demons or angels we are no supplicants and we have nothing to ask or repent from in front of your fake god. We came here to fight Unity and all of its toys! Now come and give me a good combat!"

Without delay, the gorumite jumps over to attack Unity's heralds while Fireday have them distracted and before they can join forces with their god.

Enemy creatures within 30' are shaken by Holg's frightful aspect.

Besides, reviewing previous posts I just noticed Fireday already cast a Blessing of Fervor on the party, so if possible I will change that casting to divine power instead, and save the blessing of fervor for later if needed.

"Any healing magic left?" asks Meyanda.

I believe Meyanda is unscathed after the channel, but if I missed something I beg your pardon. Feel free to serve yourself of the curse serious wounds wand, 8 charges left.

"You will not die, don't be absurd, if someone is to self-sacrifice here are Fireday and myself, you have a reason to survive this one" Holg laughs and gives both Fifteen and Molly their two grade V hemochen "Consume this before fighting Unity"

"Let's catch her as unprepared as possible" the Kellid then let's the big guns out casting true seeing anointing his eyes with sacred oils. Then he casts frightful aspect growing to the size of a giant, his presence emanating true fear. Then, as the group is to jump in, he casts extended sun metal on his greatsword, blessing of fervor on the party and protects everyone with a holy aura.

With a battlecry he makes use of the mindmelders "It is time for the final fight!"

"Yes, let's get inside and destroy that false god, and let's destroy the Divinity Drive too!" Holg raises his blade and attempts giving the sphere a good whack.

The Kellid uses his holy symbol, a greatsword crossing a mountain, once more to top the group before the final confrontation.

"So here we are, finally facing the ultimate danger... let's have this done" Holg will cast a few spells before entering the mindmelders.
Trying to figure out which ones still...

We really need to give a feat or some other power for Fireday to gain pounce :)

Holg endures the attack of the cyborg gargoyle clenching his teeth before raising his sword and repeating the attack "There is no pain in victory!"

Holg shakes his head as the fire storm pierces through all of his fire protection and the robot opens a terrible gash through his forefront "Ah, there is no glory without pain!"

The Kellid delays to see if Meyanda and Fireday finish the robot next to him, and assuming they do so, he leaps forward to engage Ophelia with an improved vital strike "Gorum look my enemy destroyed!"

I'm having trouble with the map and Holg says I should just be full attacking someone right next to me instead of trying to fight Ophelia.

This would mean undoing my death vow and making a full attack, or possibly a Great Cleave. I don't know how many enemies are adjacent to me.

According to map there are 3 of Ophelia's minions, which seem to be some kind of robot with angelic aspect.

Displaying true weapon mastery, Holg performs a cleave movement swinging his greatsword from orange towards yellow while entering a rage "Uaaaah! See this Ophelia! Your heretic faith will bring you to the ditch!"

"You have wrought much destruction to get to this point ..."

"Thanks" Holg smiles satisfied his efforts are recognized even by his enemies.

"I ask you lay down your arms and step willingly into Unity's embrace."

"Ophelia, I understand." Holg readies his greatsword "If Unity is a god, why is its influence confined to this metallic lair? Even Hellion, a fake god as we proved, was able to prowl through the world. Gods are powerful. Why all of Unity's allies have fallen so easily to just a handful of people?" the Kellid points to the group then to Meyanda "She saw the truth before you. The only Lord of Iron is Gorum. Do not let Unity to treat you like its dog. Embrace Gorum, or any other real god for that matter, Unity is a fake and you know it inside you. Look what it has done to you? I am no dog of an algorithm."

Holg smiles in joy as the dragon falls, all his body covered in blood and gore "That was actually glorious Meyanda, look this wounds here, those jaws will leave epic scars. If we had not defeated it just now, I am sure he would have killed me next" the man starts to laugh.

Taking the staff of healing, the Kellid patches himself.

After consuming four charges there are still a few scratches, but Holg lets them be.

Holg takes the portable hole and starts to put all the recent loot within. Handy stuff. He makes sure as well the lantern of revealing is alight, using it to spot anything invisbile and dropping it fast to the ground if combat arises. If no one wants the ring, he also equips it on his free hand.

After leaving a few seconds to the couple, the gorumite points to the card picked up by Fifteen "Can you use that one to gain us access to Unity's core?"

Holg is devastated by the dragon attacks, but rather than looking for protection, the Kellid seems enjoying as ever and emboldened despite all the blood around. He raises his blade using his weapon mastery and destructive smite again "Death or Glory Beacrux!"

Holg grimaces as he takes the blast at full. Fortunately, Gorum protects him and comes out of the breath unscathed and running in rage while drawing the dragon-bane greatsword and using his weapon mastery for an improved vital strike "Good Becrux of the Stars, let's see who deserves more to fight with Unity!!! Look at me Gorum! Uaaargh!!!"

Holg looks impressed at the planetarium and points to Golarion asking the dragon "What does that lattice enveloping everything mean?"

But quickly things switch to something more of the interest of the Kellid: fight!

Holg smiles and responds Fireday's clasp by holding him strongly through the shoulders "Indeed my friend! We are brothers in blades and what can be more perfect than such a camaraderie!" the Kellid pushes the wine skin to the android's chest "Take, let's have a drink together to celebrate and remember this moment of unconscious bravery!"

The man sees Fifteen and Molly are occupied enough one with another, but he extends the invitation to Meyanda "Came, sister in arms and faith, let's prepare for the battle ahead"

As Fireday, Holg will also like to use the blessings of Gorum over the party, casting before entering the core life bubble to protect the party from gasses, communal resist energy twice to protect them from cold and electricity, communal protection from energy to protect them from fire, and communal air walk to make sure everyone can take to the air and fight. Finally, he casts shield of faith and freedom of movement and extended lead blades on himself.

Heroes' feast temporal HP: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Shared buffs, each of us gains this:

Holg observes how caring Fifteen carries Molly to where she can be attended. When he has tended all the injuries, he leaves the couple for their musings. It was a reverent moment for all of the Red Talons, to win the glory or to perish on the attempt.

The Kellid looked for his own quiet corner in the campsite, sorting all the stuff they have scavenged and throwing it into piles, sharing each part with each of the people in the group "Here you have all your parts of treasure. If I die, send my part to Viv in Torch. Just keep my sword and let it rest forever in Scrapwall, were we defeated the mighty Hellion"

The man, a true barbarian of the Numerian plains, takes sit then in another quiet place and stabs his greatsword in the center of a circle he draws with powdered silver. He places inside the valuable skymetal minerals from his part of the share. Then, he kneels before his blade, and looking down starts to recite prayers through the course of minutes "Our Lord in Iron, tomorrow will be our day of glory, I call your herald so you can witness the final defeat of the vile machine that dares call himself an Iron God. Accept this offering of metal and I promise you a fight like it has rarely been seen before. Together we will defeat the false god as we made with Hellion before!" as he completes the casting of greater planar ally, but trying to negotiate the appearance only when they fight Unity. Because one does not bother Gorum for anything other than a good fight, and Holg knows so.

After that, Holg attempts to have a good sleep, taking his part on the watch, of course, and wakes up the next morning as fresh as possible.

When everyone is up, the gorumite already has a heroes' breakfeast accompanied by good tears to wine "For everyone to celebrate the day of the final battle"

Ahoi Iron Scavengers! Last loot share! We plundered Silver Mount for 61,551 gp benefit each of us.

There is also a cloak of resistance +3 from the gargoyles that might slightly improve someone's back.

Additionally, we have 85,000 gp in diamonds, powdered silver and other metals, Deacon Hope's gift, Holg is carrying around in case we need to resurrect or restore negative levels from someone before everything ends.

In case you are feeling lacking equipment, here is a list of all previous item and coin shares:
Sold 6 (5th book end)
Sold 5 (4th book end)
Sold 4 (3rd book end)
Sold 3 was half book in Iadenveigh and we used the shared gold to buy scrolls and wands instead of giving away gold.
Sold 2 (2nd book end)
Sold 1 (1st book end) (and recap)

For those of you here from the beginning, you should have received a total 211,356.37 gp all through the campaign, aside from the items you claimed from the treasure list of loot found.

Holg releases his rage once the robot gets broken. Lowering his arms, he breathes relieved "Good fight Overlord. Our Lord in Iron is pleased"

The gorumite raises his symbol and uses his last channel to help the party.
Channel 0/5: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5) = 36

Then, he puts his hand on Molly's head "If we are going to rest, then let me treat that paleness..." and casts restoration on the halfling.
Healing the Int drain from Molly, removing all fatigue.

He further heals Molly.

"So... how about getting out of this place as Casandalee suggest?" Holg taps his belly "A last dinner before we fight the Big Fake Iron God"

HP 189+0/195 DR 3/- AC 35 TAC 19

"Shot from behind me Molly!" Holg shouts while saying the words for a new spell. His hand is covered with a green miasma of energy he shots to any easily exposed area of the Overlord.

Fort DC 22 to reduce damage to 22

"Keep shooting I will hold him entertained!" the Kellid then steps forward in front of the halfling, entering a rage and raising his greatsword to protect Molly with a guarded stance and perfect style "Come to me Unity!!!"

Sorry Fifteen! I was reading the thread with no images and got the names mixed.

We still have some rocket lunchers that might be of help here.

Also, Fireday's armor has 20 feet fly speed, so he can go there too.

I will prepare two air walk spells for next day.

Holg scowls as the halfling is bashed with the axe "I cannot help you there Fireday, but I can go myself!"

As the sphere of force breaks, Holg rushes up air walking to Molly's position while he casts heal on her.
+150 hp

Is the force field already down? I have a disintegrate looking for a tasty target :)

One more year, last one for this campaign it would seem, Merry Christmas everyone :)

Holg looks worried at the overlord disemboweling Fireday "You can hold this and more my friend, trust your heart, is the moment of faith and greatness"

While he waits trapped inside the force sphere, he lets Gorum heal his champion.

No rush to finish off the party, it is Christma's and all that you know... xD

Ouch, this is going to be painful!

For those of you with dispel magic, note you can use that on the sphere. I do not know if greater dispel magic can be used to dispel all of them (probably you need to be not trapped).

Also, as wall of force, it can be destroyed, hardness 30 and 20 hp * level though.

"You are no god Unity, just poison that corrupts the sacred Iron that rightfully belongs to Gorum!" Holg raises his greatsword showing he is not to unite any corrupting AI.

Fort DC 29: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21 *sigh*
Rounds: 1d6 ⇒ 2
When the bomb falls, he is too slow to react and becomes trapped within the sphere of force.

The Kellid scowls, extending his arms as he patiently waits for the sphere to fade away "Gorum, give me your strength to show this robot who is your true champion" casting divine power while he waits.

"Aye! Or whatever she has for a face!" Holg exclaims in good mood, then he starts walking towards the robot's location, assuming Fifteen was able to vent the radiation, that is.

"Take the cloak, it is ok" Holg smiles back at Fifteen.

"Destroying a robot sounds like the kind of thing Gorum sent me here to do" the Kellid nods satisfied with that open path "We likely want to do that before confronting Unity, shall we?"

"What about installing that memory facet we bought from the Baron in the Night market? Is it done here?" Holg asks without touching a single button for fear he will break something important.

Holg ends his rage with a roar, stabbing the greatsword in the corpse of the nearest gargoyle and vowing in front "I offer you this fight for your greatness Our Lord in Iron!"

He quickly scrambles the technical stuff found "Someone shall take that cloak, and that big gun seems dangerous stuff"

The Kellid looks around, trying to understand what can be done with the controls in this deck.
