Horacio - The Purifier's page

Looks great!

Horacio joins my ever increasing roster of level 9 characters.

Horacio calls his flaming sphere forward, to burn the reaver.

damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1) = 10
Reflex DC 19

Once the sphere is in place Horacio lights the reaver up with a pair of maximized scorching rays.

PBS touch attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 (Nat 1)

PBS Touch attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
damage: 25 = 25

As a reminder reaver is currently vulnerable to fire so all fire damage multiplied by 1.5

Horacio leaves his flaming ball be for now as he tentatively moves up before shouting, his voice quivering slightly "You shall be cleansed by Iomedae's Purifying Flames!"

Reaver is now vulnerable to fire until the end of my turn after next.

will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

My will save on your roll appears to have been 14 instead of d20+14, doesn't looks like it makes a difference though.

I have no objections to petting the Reaver. Maybe it is possible to calm it. Although I'ms sure my cleansing fire is of no help on that front.

It's an RPG, take the action that most makes sense for your character.

Horacio moves toward the Reaver as best he can and wastes no time lighting it up with a flaming sphere.

fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6) = 9
SR?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Reflex DC 19 negates.

Horacio listens carefully to the orc's story while keeping an eye out for other trouble.

perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

Going back through the library into the main room to follow Bo without going through the scary creaky plank room. Listening for Reaver noises or sings or more orcs.

perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

Horacio nods, glad that Bo could avoid the creaky boards.

Horacio ponders going around instead.

Well done Nana.

Here I was thinking I have no idea how to put this together. Thankfully I've GMed this before so I can just hide behind that instead of sounding like an idiot.

Horacio looks at the now glowing holy symbol.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

Horacio points at Rufeo's holy symbol, quoting from the opening inscription of a book “She is the Dawnflower, the heart of light, hope, and redemption.”

Horacio also notes "I think the Amber wheel of sunlight is Bryla Sacred Fire has thrice answered prayers, and manifests as a glowing halo."

Finally Horacio adds "The gold hound sounds similar to Izorai the alabaster lioness, although the color isn't quite right. She is known to sniff out villainy, yet het killer jawscan also recover the abused and carry them to safety.”

Horacio turns to his companions "I have studied the holy words of Iomedae and know words in praise of the sun, but do not know Sarenrae's rites. Does anybody else know, or found anything in their books?"

Horacio examines the library for clues spending some time going through the books before coming to any sort of conclusion.

know planes: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Horacio nods with pleasure at the fallen orc and decides to try finishing off the blue one with a few more words of magical power as a tetrad of glowing longswords appear over his shoulder. They hover there for a mere moment before they seem to extend for a moment as they travel blinding fast.

magic missile damage: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 3) + 4 = 14

Horacio moves in behind Truk and looks to teal "You shall be cleansed in purifying flame."

Teal is vulnerable to fire until the end of my turn after next.

Horacio considers for a moment filling the room with holy fire, but fearing some books might remain intact instead moves up to the doorway and calls forth holy light to blind them.

Casting Wandering Star Motes on Black (Will DC 20). Will bounce north from there as necessary.

Horacio flexes the scimitar around as he explains its magical prowess.

Horacio does indeed have spellcraft and detect magic.
womwomwom scimitar: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
womwomwom plate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

With the Reaver beating on the outer walls, I'll wait and cast later I think

Horacio keeps watch, making sure the ritual is not disturbed by any sort of sudden attack.

perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37

No religion here, I have planes instead. If we don't mind taking quite awhile I can cast Legend Lore to learn quite a bit more about the helmet.

Does this book describe that ritual as well?

With the ritual of cleansing complete Horacio will move to gather up the helmet.

Given the time Horacio will explain to his companions how to do the ritual.

Horatio ponders out loud as he peruses the tome "Some sort of cleansing ritual... involves the font..."

Horacio will abandon his examination of the abandoned stairwell to examine the tome.

Horacio does know celestial.

Horacio moves up to check out the stairwell while Nana and Bo explore the adjacent room.

Good idea.

With no apparent threat from behind Horacio moves up towards the front.

Double move

With the narrow hall still full of large creatures ahead of him Horacio retains his rearguard position and readies to magic missile any more orc coming up behind them.

Oh, I assumed south was down, I missed the compass rose.

Horacio responds "Let's make a through and orderly search, starting with these small rooms to the south and then circling back around."

Horacio starts with a couple charges from his own wand.

2xclw: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7

Horacio grabs Truk and drags him away from the grasping claw.

Horacio follows along with no fear.

Horacio gives the fungus a wide birth and nods in agreement to Aeris.

Only knowledge planes here.

Horacio nods "Yes, let us make haste."

Correct, 8 hours on the Magic Vestment on my shield.

Horacio takes a moment to cast some buffs he should have cast earlier.

Magic Vestment, Barkskin and False Life
Temp HP: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

We'll give Truk a Barkskin as well. +3 so is an improvement from your amulet.

reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
strength: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3
sense motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
acrobatics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
acrobatics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15
craft: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
craft: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
craft: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Horacio, while surprizingly fast for an old man in armor does have a bit of trouble keeping up with the quickly changing situations of the chase.

Horacio nods "Come, to the Bastion, we need to sever it's divine connection first."

Horacio looks over the map "Seems simple enough, can you tell us where the stairs go. I can't tell if they are up or down from this map."

Horatio notes outloud "Whatever the solution it's clear to me that the beast is dangerous. When I asked about it the locals offers to take any final letters to loved ones before we encountered it. They seem to think it's territory extends about a mile beyond the Bastion."

Horacio will spend a bit of time getting the lay of the local land.

diplomacy+assist: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 16 + 2 = 20

Horacio suppresses a chuckle regarding the transit.

Horatio ignores the tangents as his overly serious voice booms "Come, let us set our on our journey to defeat evil."

Horacio smiles and nods to his faction leader, his red dragonhide breastplate and Mithral shield gleaming with recent polish. He removes his helmet to reveal a pale skinned aging Crusader with a well kept white beard.

He speaks in a deep boomy voice "Ollysta, I am honored by my assignment to this mission. I will do my best to cleanse Roslar's Coffer with the Red Reaver with the power of Iomedae's purifying flames."

"I shall cleanse what evil we find with Iomedae's purifying flames!"

Still not sure how to get an adventurer out of those classes.
