Ixius's page

This game lasted over 3 years (or was it four?), and is the first PbP I ever joined. And you are not alone in building suboptimal characters Ovirid, I'm not sure what Ixius was worse at, being a sorcerer or being a rogue. And I loved the accent, although IC Ixius could rarely understand a word Ovirid said.

Good gaming everyone and I hope Trevor is OK.

Ixius claws back at the creature that lunged at him.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Hasted Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Ixius shoots a ray at one of the vampires, moving to within 30 feet if possible.

ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24
fire damage: 4d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2, 1, 3) + 4 + 1 = 17

I am on vacation until Thursday and may not have internet access, so please DMPC Ixius as necessary.

Ixius is in the loft too.

Initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Ixius tries to climb up to help Korian examine the chamber.

Use Magic Device (aid): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Ixius stays with Korian, following after Sykala.

Ixius indeed follows Sykala with Korian.

"Metal sandals? What do you think they are for?"

Ixius also wats for the result of Korian's experiment before he drinks the gaseous form potion.

"Are these riddles all the assistance you can give us or is there more? Can you give our friend here back his strength?"

Finally, the double doors.

Ixius helps Ovirid look for traps.

His +12 bonus auto succeeds on the aid another.

"I'm sure she would, Esteban is not man enough for her."

Ixius casts mage armor on himself.

"Shall we explore the rest of this level?"

Isn't there a set of double doors we have not gone through yet?

"Lets stay up here then and go through the double doors. That thing will find us when it's ready I'm afraid. Unless we can think of a way to fight it on our terms, there is not much we can do about it now."

"I'm coming with you. It seems like the only way to get out of here is to keep going down."

Ixius takes the last watch.

"Not a bug, just a tingling. I don't feel it now"

"I think something was trying to get into my head."

With that roll it probably succeeded.

Happy to be in human form again, Ixius looks at Sykala's with concern.

"I guess it doesn't matter much where we rest, that thing can find us anywhere I think"

Ixius buzzes after Korian.

Ixius buzzes around Sykala's head.

"Here we go," Ixius puts his hands on the wall.

"Good guess Ovirid! I guess we all turn into fireflies and fly down the shaft then. I hope we turn back."

"I don't like this. What about the doors? Should we check those out first?"

"Just a door and a wall of sand. Let's leave the tiles alone for now and see what's behind that door, eh? Korian, can you walk?"

"Harumph. Dinnae think s'. 'ow 'bout ye, Refina? 'r ye able t' find out 'at be 'n 'is lil' fella's mind? Ixius?"

"What? Talk to Jinx? Sykala's the one who can talk to animals."

Ixius fidgets nervously while Ovirid examines the tiles, hoping what killed Korian does not reappear. Looking for something to do to take his mind off of the fact that their fearless leader has been severely weakened, he examines the doors and the wall of sand.

Also taking 20 for 31, 32 for traps

Ixius cheers as Korian comes to life.

"What happened here? Let this be a lesson not to split up in the future."

Finally something to post again

Ixius is shocked to see the resourceful wizard slain. He looks around trying to get an idea of what happened.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Also casting detect magic

"I guess that scroll is gonna come in handy already"

Does Refina have it?

"Down the hole?" Ixius asks Sykala. If the answer is yes, he drinks the liquid and goes down.

Although Ixius would prefer to explore on foot before venturing down the hole, he generally follows Sykala's advice.

"Let's drink up and go down the hole."

Ixius shakes his head in disbelief. "That was odd."

"That sounds fun!"

Ixius laughs. "What other way is there? We better not mess with that any more. Shall I open the doors?"

If no one objects Ixius opens the double doors.

Ixius squeezes through the tunnel into the next room. "Nice work ladies, you have some handy spells. Mine are mostly for burning things."

"Is this place full of puzzles and traps?" Ixius examines the doors.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Ixius goes ahead and opens the box.

If there are no objections, and assuming someone has read him the writing

"If we had Esteban with us he could put a gold piece in it. Since he is not here, what do we value most?"

Ixius is thinking Korian should put Jinx in the box.

Ixius snaps out of his fascination with the columns and the sound they are making and hurries into the other room.

Ixius checks out the pillars before entering the new room.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Even more confused than Sykala about what is happening, Ixius draws another arrow and watches the runes.

"If he's the Pharaoh, what are we supposed to be?".

Ixius shoots.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Sneak attack damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Sneak attack damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Ixius draws an an arrow and will shoot as soon as something substantial forms from the runes.

That sounds about right.

Ixius keeps shooting at the monster.

If within 30 ft.:
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

If Ixius is not within 30 ft. he moves up until he is and shoots once.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

+1 attack from bless and +1 from PBS, +1 damage from magic weapon and +1 from PBS

Ixius, I guess those are your attacks for next round?

Yes

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

+1 to both attack and damage if within 30 ft.

Ixius sees the runes.

"Oh damn! Don't look at it!"
