Hovok Thunderforge's page

Sorry everyone been busy with a vacation followed by selling/buying/moving houses so havent had much time to post...hoping to change that tomorrow.

Sorry for delaying posting...should get my character leveled this weekend hopefully and start back up after that.

Day job(smith): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Trying to remember if I missed an update to my character sheet...only have him at level 4 so wouldn't a full progression get me to level 5...haven't played any other mission other than the spire with this guy so might have missed something.

Or is it a case that later levels a full progression here would put me out of the range?

Looking at his sodden clothes and his full plate mail before swimming back to find the warhammer he dropped earlier.

Agreed...don't even want to think about he hours Imma need to oil and dry my gear after this mess.

AoO, BAB, Str, PA, MW: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 + 6 = 20
Miss% (Low is bad): 1d100 ⇒ 29

Grinning to see the undine come back his way and not having to chase her down Hovok takes a swing at the shape.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18

Afterwards finally getting himself settled Hovok swims towards the undine and takes a second swing as soon as he gets in range.

Attack, BAB, Str, PA, MW: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 = 15
Damage, Str, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 6 + 6 = 21
Miss%: 1d100 ⇒ 94

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (18) - 2 = 16

Surprised that the battle hasn't moved too far down the hallway. Hovok moves slightly to the side before taking his own swing at the new elemental.

Attack, BAB, Str, PA, MW: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 = 10
Damage, Str, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 6 + 6 = 21

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 = 14

Finally reorienting himself Hovok breaks the plane of the water and draws a deep breathe before attempting to swim in the direction he hears a significant amount of splashing.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (10) - 2 = 8

Though apparently that was too much to hope for before he sinks back under the surface of the water.

Of course I would get the full plate right before a water level................shesh...welp maybe next round I will actually be able to do something other than flail in place.

Trying to reach the surface again to determine where the undine disappeared too.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1

Still seeming to have some issues with the armor and the apparent concussion.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

OMG...who handed out the loaded dice.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (8) - 2 = 6

...these dice hate me apparently...do I need to roll anything else since assuming I'm still underwater?

Apparently still disoriented from the eidolon's earlier attacks, Hovok seems to be sinking further into the water.

Seeing the eidolon lose consciousness. Hovok attempts to swim forward so he can take a swing at the undine that started this whole mess.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (9) - 2 = 7

Sadly before he can even bring the hammer to bear he has to reorient himself and close the distance.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

Welp guess he is just floundering around right now...........

Surfacing Hovok takes a moment to unstrap his shield as he regains his bearings. Turning back around he adjusts his grip on the longhammer and takes a full swing at the eidolon.

Attack, BAB, Str, MW, PA: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 4 + 1 - 2 = 18
Damage, Str, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 + 6 = 20

Leaving the hammer where it was Hovok attempts to swim beneath the surface and gain a little distance before reentering the fight.

Swim: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (18) - 4 = 14

Attempting a withdrawal action and if possible will either drop shield or draw my longhammer...figure I will have to do the other before I attack but would prefer to go latter then former so I keep the AC.

Sorry need some clarity before determining my action in this case.
Is the hammer in reach currently or would that require a swim/perception check to reach. Next since I am underwater could I move away without prompting an AoO from the eidolon...sadly only had the warhammer for one-handed weaponry so would need to be able to gain some distance to attack again.

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Welp passed the reflex though the nat 20 woulda been nice for something else here.

Sorry had to travel last week for work and forgot to post that I may not be able to keep up during that time.

Blind?: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 2 = 19 Assuming I get the racial bonus vs. spells if not subtract 2

Argh...freaking automaton.

Reeling from the barrage Hovok launches another attack at the shark bot.

Attack, BAB, Str, PA: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 4 - 2 = 16
Damage, Str, PA: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 4 = 15

Grinning at the shark from behind his shield. Hovok takes a swing of his own at the shark creature.

Attack, BAB, Str, PA: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 4 - 2 = 24
Damage, Str, PA: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 4 = 10

Warhammer in this case is cold iron if that makes any difference against any of these creatures.

Attempting to move into the room and approach the sharkbot. Hovok appears to struggle swimming with the shield attached going under the water briefly before redoubling his efforts and then swims into range but doesn't have the breathe yet to launch an attack yet.

Swim: 1d20 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) - 4 + 2 = -1
Swim: 1d20 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) - 4 + 2 = 8

After the last fight going with warhammer/shield right now so only 5ft reach but 22 AC

Why does this keep repeating...Almost want to go back and make that Undine shut off these water holes...figure they have them open as part of their research.

Following closely behind Lucifer. Hovok leaves Orovan to guard their rear while he attempts to be ready to support anything they run into.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 = 14

Go figure I get full plate and now we keep fighting in an area underground that is full of water.

Continuing to follow behind without saying much, just wanting to find some way through this sodden level and its treasureless rooms so far.

Shaking his head at his inability to drive the creature back during the fight. Hovok thanks Jafit and Lucifer for the healing and his good shooting, before following the Wayang.

Also, with how many ambushes there have been so far Hovok stows his longhammer and draws his shield and warhammer in preparation for the next fight.

Starting to feel the blood-loss, Hovok shows a little of the legendary stubborness of the dwarfs and rushes the fish once again.

Bull Rush: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 20

If some room is generated Hovok will attempt to move in a diagonal to get in range of Jafit.

Infuriated that a fish held its ground against him and unwilling to try fighting the thing weaponless. Hovok roars a battlecry before launching himself into the fish again.

Bull Rush: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 15

If I still have a move action and drive the fish back. Hovok will not follow and sheathe his longhammer in preparation of drawing his warhammer next round.

Surprised by the fish/elemental attacking him and without enough room to take any swings of his hammer. Hovok instead attempts to body the creature back into the middle of the room to give the rest of the group room to maneuver.

Bull rush: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 14

Only using the modifiers for foehammer with hammer to bull rush and the other +2 I get from improved bull rush feat. Wasnt sure if I could apply my racial trait since the creature is swimming and not on the ground. If the water makes this maneuver impossible will have to try to figure out a way to get my warhammer out instead of my longhammer.

As Hovok approaches the door he takes his eyes off the undine and looks around the room following on Lucifer's heels.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Welp guess lets move on.

So saying Hovok follows a little behind the Wayang while keeping an eye on the undine.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Still being the taciturn dwarf and catching his breath, Hovok remembers back to the first fight.

Hmm...lets hope that isn't the creature that got away...or that the other Undine we struck down wasn't her brother.

Helping the others as they come through the "doorway." Hovok turns back and watches the Undine carefully just supplying his name and letting the rest of the group converse and hopefully find a way to stop the water from attempting to drown them again.

Seeing Orovan push through the barrier without much ill effects Hovok follows suit and steps to the side to allow the rest of the party to enter through.

While waiting he attempts to see how the Undine reacts to the party entering the room.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Having gotten no where when he tried to follow the rest of the group Hovok turns back and follows Orovan...lending his strength to try to open the door also.

Strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Too be honest a little lost as far as the situation and where everyone is located after the swamping of the room.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (10) - 2 = 8

Trending water briefly after missing Jafit's hand. Hovok motions to Orovan and starts to swim with the current attempting to locate where the rest of the party ended up.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (14) - 2 = 12

Maintaining his position Hovok turns around and reaches out towards Jafit attempting to help keep him in place on the doorframe.

Aid other(strength): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Assuming a strength check to grab hold and help keep Jafit in place rather than a reflex check...if not can adjust as necessary.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18

Able to brace himself against the initial rush of water Hovok then starts swimming furiously against the current hoping that him companions dont get swept too far away.

He takes a look around afterwards attempting to find where the water level is below the ceiling and there might be an air pocket.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Shaking his head briefly at the lack of anything useful...or dry ground.

Bah...guess lets head towards the other door...can we kill that stupid Undine again...figure he was responsible for this slogging crap of an exploration.

Still struggling with the weight of his armor.

Agreed the sooner I can stand on firm ground without water up to my waist the better.

Annoyed at hitting the ceiling. Hovok launches another overhand blow attempting to find the right height to miss the ceiling while landing a clean hammerblow on the elemental.

Attack, BAB, Str, PA, MW: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 = 11
Damage, Str, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 + 6 = 20

Annoyed that the mud thing is seeming to shrug off the solid blows from his hammer. Hovok renews his efforts to drop the elemental by launching another big overhand blow with his hammer.

Attack, BAB, Str, PA, MW: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 = 8
Damage, Str, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 + 6 = 20

Though apparently he didn't account for how low the ceiling was when he started his swing.

Hovok takes a moment to both regain control from the follow-through and to take aim again at the mud creature while avoiding the grappled Orovan.

Attack, BAB, Str, PA, MW: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 = 25
Damage, Str, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 + 6 = 16

Let 'em go you blasted creature.

Damn elementals are tough...'etting out of your way Jafit.

Attempting to swim past Neilmin to give Jafit room to heal Orovan.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (17) - 2 = 15

After re-positioning Hovok kicks up and takes another swing with his longhammer.

Attack, BAB, Str, PA, MW: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 = 12
Damage, Str, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 + 6 = 23

Taking a moment to recover from his missed swing. Hovok adjusts his grip again and launches another attack at the mud creature.

Attack, BAB, Str, PA, MW: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 = 25
Damage, Str, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 + 6 = 15

Attempting to kick a little higher above the water. Hovok attempts to take a swing at the creature with his hammer.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10

Attack, BAB, Str, PA, MW: 1d20 + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 4 - 2 + 1 = 14
Damage, Str, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 + 6 = 17

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (18) - 2 = 16

Hovok attempts to swim forward while pulling Jafit up out of the water and pushing him behind him.

Str: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Assuming a strength check to move Jafit would work there and take up both actions this turn...though not sure how that roll will impact these actions.

This sucks trying to fight in this crap.

Attempting to swim forward to reach the mud ball flinging thing. Just hoping that this goes better than the last elemental.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (17) - 2 = 15

Assuming only able to move 5 feet since I cant move through Jafit.

Seeing another portal in front of them.

Oh...Kay...Jafit...Neilman...we need to close this portal and backtrack to close the other...I'm not going to be fighting unarmored but I also wont be able to fight in this damn water if we dont do something to lower the level...So any ideas?

Taking one last look over his shoulder before grabbing the rope and pulling himself along more than swimming.

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 5

Thinking to himself.

breaking the bloody thing would help here but the goal is to go lower...unless one of the casters can close that portal guess we need to leave the dam in place.

Completing his thought to himself; he then grabs the rope looks around for either a place to anchor it himself or continues to hold it waiting for the rest of the group to make their way across or for Lucifer to come back.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Waiting to see if Lucifer can get to the other side and wondering if it is worth attempting to cross in his full plate. Along with his mind tracking back to the portal and the dam.

Starting to think it maybe worth attempting to lower the water level by closing that portal and busting up the dam...Was 'oping that there was somewhere dry to make our way around but doesn't seem that is in the cards.

Seeing Lucifer back tracking and more than willing to follow to get out of this water. Hovok swings his hammer up on his shoulder and starts to follow behind the Wayang.

Still here just had questions and unsure how to act since the answers will change.

Not sure what I won...lol but then again starting to feel like this hammer is a little crazy as long as I can keep a little range to get an adequate swing in, and it isn't even enchanted yet.

Agreed Orovan felt like I heard the fight going on for way too long...but then again part of the problem is the damn water.

Looking back towards the makeshift dam.

I feel like if we break apart that debris the water level will lower significantly...just need a way to do that without the water carrying someone with it...or do you think we can close this portal now that the elemental is gone?

Rambling along after the close fight he seems to turn and see the cleric.

Was good having you behind us for that one Jafit not sure we would have all been alive after that without you...how are you on spells for the day?
