Male Half-Elf DEAD
The PC that I will be bringing will be level 4.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
I would be happy to do Part II, but I will bring a different PC.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle nods.
"That truly sounds terrible. Unfortunately, I cannot assist; I will, however, send word to someone I know who would be happy to."
Thanks for running that!
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Unfortunately, Gaseous Form explicitly makes you immune to crits and sneak attack... :-/
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Oh, I am not bothered - this is a perfectly reasonable way for Jarlaxle to go :-) I mean, he only had about 4 months of 'shelf-life' left, anyway ;-)
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Umm... Gaseous Form is actually *really* terrible - it doesn't even make you incorporeal - it gives you DR 10/Magic, and a speed of 20'... so it still provokes from *everyone* around it...
Jarlaxle calmly tries to clobber it, as it flees.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 31, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 = 12 damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
You need to get it cured before the end of the game, or Bossk is recorded as 'dead'...
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle sighs in relief, then turns and nods to Khellek.
"I thank you for the temporary reprieve."
He then turns, and takes a swing at Blue!
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 13, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 = 13 Magical, Silver, Slashing damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
That does indeed hit.
Jarlaxle grunts in annoyance, then tries to hack Red apart.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 = 18, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 = 14 damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 = 20.
Not one to let words speak louder than actions, Jarlaxle strides into the room, and starts swinging.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30, for 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 Magical, Silver, Slashing damage.
Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 = 29, for 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 *ADDITIONAL* damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Male Half-Elf DEAD
@Bossk: You need to make a CL check for the potion (1d20+3 versus DC 20), or it doesn't work... Mummy Rot is nasty :-/
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle winks at Bossk.
"I think you took one too many blows to the head there, Bossk - the Cenotaph was where we encountered those undead..."
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle polishes Gamin to a nice shine.
"Sorry about that, old fellow; but you came through it just fine!"
He then moves to assist Florin...
Knowledge(Religion) - 'Take 10' = 20.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle frowns, steps across to the Orange elemental, and takes a swing.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 24, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 = 17 damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
With a frown, Jarlaxle attempts to beat the tar out of the Green elemental.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 28, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 = 13 damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle clicks his tongue in annoyance, then steps forward, and tries to take-out Blue.
Gamin, the Reforged:1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 23, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 = 17 damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Reflex: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10.
Jarlaxle frowns in annoyance.
"That... I did not appreciate..."
He then moves over, and takes a swing.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 = 28, for 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Before approaching the monument, Jarlaxle casts Heroism.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle's skin starts to improve, and he nods his thanks to Yabatha.
"Thank-you my dear; I'd shake your hand, but I don't think it would be a good idea, right now - I like my skin where it is..."
He then does his best to aid with the Ritual.
Knowledge(Religion) - 'Take 10' = 18.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Alright. So... Jarlaxle loses the ability to cast spells :-/
Jarlaxle coughs up some blood, as some of his skin starts to slough off.
"Right. Let's keep moving; I would prefer to finish this mission, before dying..."
I guess we should try and purify the monument...?
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Also, unfortunately, that isn't the full text for the disease...
Mummy Rot
Since all Conjuration(Healing) spells need to make a DC 20 CL check to work, that means that you need a Remove Curse against DC 16, then a CL check against DC 20 (so that Remove Disease has a chance of working, as it is a Conjuration(Healing) spell), followed by a consecutive CL check against DC 16. That means you are likely to have to pay for multiple castings, in order to make it stick. Mummy Rot is nasty... :-/
Male Half-Elf DEAD
"Well - that was unpleasant..."
Jarlaxle, not realising that he is cursed, calmly starts healing...
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8.
...and then focuses on thoroughly cleaning Gamin, before buffing the sword to a nice shine.
"Sorry about that, old boy; I know you don't like ichor!"
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Frowning in annoyance, Jarlaxle takes another swing at the undead beast, Gamin providing him with some Guidance.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 20, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 = 12 Magical, Silver, Slashing damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle frowns.
"I am really going to have to apologise to Gamin after this - he hates getting his blade sticky with ichor..."
With a shrug, he then takes a swing.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 = 29, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 = 12 Magical, Silver, Slashing damage.
Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 = 23, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 = 18 *ADDITIONAL* damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Hissing in annoyance, Jarlaxle swings at the Zombie.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 = 13 Magical, Slashing, Silver damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Unless someone else wants to step into the gap, sure.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle tries to split Yellow in two.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 = 12 Magical, Silver, Slashing damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Yeah, paralysed in front of a zombie is not where I want to be...
I am going to use a boon, here:
Remove Paralysis is what I will be opting for, oddly enough...
Concentration: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 Vs DC 19.
With a gasp, Jarlaxle starts moving again.
"Thanks, J.!"
He then winks at Yabatha.
"So, I revise my earlier statement; the zombies go down a treat, but that mummy will be a pain..."
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle shrugs diffidently.
"They are zombies - they should go down quickly..."
He then confidently strides forward, and takes a swing.
Gamin, the Reforged: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 = 14, for 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 1 = 19 Magical, Silver, Slashing damage.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle sighs sadly when he sees the spirit of a child.
"It is always sad when the young die; it is not supposed to be the natural order of things. Be at peace, child..."
Knowledge(Religion) = 18.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle continues to try and calm the spirits.
"The worst, for you, has happened; all that remains is the echo of the pain... if you could but see beyond that, I am sure that you would find peace..."
Knowledge(Religion) = 18.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
@GM Scott: Bards have 'Lore Master', which is an ability that explicitly allows them to 'Take 10' on Knowledge checks...
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15, or Knowledge(Religion) = 18.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle does his best to help soothe the savage beast spirit.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16.
Presumably Bards, who have the ability (with Loremaster) to always 'Take 10' on Knowledge checks, could still 'Take 10' here, right...?
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle nods.
"It makes senses to go to the closer one, first..."
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle pays attention to the ritual...
'Lore Master' Take 10 = Knowledge(Religion) 18.
...and feels swifter.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle does his best to help enhance the flow of magic in the ritual.
Knowledge(Arcana): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle thanks the woman for her help, then begins to look around the monument...
Knowledge(Arcana): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9.
...but whilst his ability to talk with people is profound, his knowledge of the arcane is profoundly lacking.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle deftly hands back one of the boy's packages, thanking him for his assistance.
He then moves on to the dancer.
"It is always a pleasure to meet a true artiste. I am sorry that you have been detained in such a frustrating manner; could we prevail upon you to let us know what happened? We have been asked to do so by the Varisian Council, who are truly concerned by what is going on with the monuments..."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle thanks Havaroc for his assistance.
Jarlaxle offers to help hold the groceries, whilst having a chat with the young kitsune.
He then tries to boost his spirits with a rollicking tale of high-spirited adventure (loosely based on one of Cayden Cailean's adventures), before getting down to brass tacks, and asking what he saw.
Perform(Oratory): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17.
Eh. They can't all be winners ;-)
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Man, those have been some lucky rolls!
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle thanks the newlyweds for their assistance.
Moving on to the next witness, he notes:
"The quicker you let us know what you saw, the faster you will be on your way! After all, the rule of law is important in this city, to keep everyone safe, and to keep the wheels of industry turning..."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle congratulates the women on their recent nuptials, then tries to get them to open up by recalling tales of great lovers throughout history.
Perform(Oratory): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle moves over to see what is going on with the witnesses...
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle, with a flourish, tells the tale of a haunted school in Absalom, where the spirits of students and teachers killed in a terrible cataclysm still attend school...
Perform(Oratory): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Jarlaxle nods thoughtfully.
"Of course I would be willing to help! Being legally allowed to do so is an added bonus... Is the 'official' investigator likely to be annoyed by our involvement?"
Male Half-Elf DEAD
In terms of what I do, I tend to do 'face' skills, make knowledge checks, and wade into melee.
(I think I have used actual bard abilities only a few times.)
Male Half-Elf DEAD
Also, no, I have not had any PCs permanently die in those scenarios.
Male Half-Elf DEAD
@GM Scott: All of those items have been purchased off chronicle sheets.
Gamin (the Allying Longsword) is an intelligent item, again purchased off a specific chronicle sheet, and subsequently 'upgraded' thanks to a (Gamin-specific) boon on another chronicle sheet.
I can PM you the specific scenarios, if you like...?
