Jaru Toth's page

Ah, same here, but thanks for the invite.

Note: I'm going to be on the road all week returning around the 28th.

"So Vnegeance would be slowed by a torch?"

No, BUT

1) It's not your fault.
2) Take you meds, and I agree regular exercise is a good idea : )

Despite blinding the monster, Jaru still looks concerned. There is little he can do, but prepare to heal his companions should they be pummeled by the powerful construct of stolen flesh. He waits.

Are we missing anyone?

No. Everyone has gone. That's why I clarified that Emmett's attack would have to be against the guide since no one else hit it.

Sooo looks like Emmett overkills the guide.

Point blank, Inspired

crossbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 11
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 8

Jaru tries to target the flying rat, but it darts behind the nigh impenetrable golem.

I really hate to point this out because it is a clever use of ray of frost, but that spell is affected by spell resistance and useless against the golem.

It would be nice to resolve whether the guides are down first. It make a difference, but I'll roll standard attack.

Despite the pounding, Emmett doggedly keeps up the attack.

PA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 damage: 1d12 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Sterne goes for the legs. Sterne, bite and trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

which were crummy anyway

Point blank, Inspired

Jaru watches Emmett take a mighty blow with concern and redoubles his efforts to destroy the Blind Beast's guides.

crossbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 11

"Aim for the guides," Jaru advises as he loads a bolt and fites at one of the flying creatures.

shoot: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6

"A flawed creation," Jaru observes. "but what are the creatures guiding it?"

would know arcana work?

"I was going to say upward, but the choice may be made for us," the priest whispers. He listens to hear if the steps are approaching.

Jaru has little interest in the sea or the grotesques therein. He casts light upon the bone symbol suspended from his neck and follows the others up.

Jaru opens his mouth to remind Simeon that they have more pressing business then it remains silently agape as the wizard motions that they should continue.

Jaru just wordlessly nods his agreement with Elidal's sentiments and looks around the chamber they just entered.

description?

Once everyone is gathered together again, Jaru calls upon his Goddess to revive and heal the group. Then follows up with the wand as Emmett is badly injured.

Emmett- look up 9 posts. I just healed you 26 hp.

Jaru raises an eyebrow. "Maybe she agreed to serve only to injury," he offers. "Though I think Simeon is correct that her service seemed to last until the bridge was crossed. Let's join Emmett. He looks to need some healing." The priest carefully makes his way across to check on Emmett.

channel: 3d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) + 2 + 1 = 9

that was weak.

2x wand of clw (9 left): 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 7) + 2 = 17

I believe summoning still takes a full round to cast, but they will attack immediately once they appear next round.

Jaru pauses giving Simeon's tactics a nod and covers the wizard as he finishes his spell. total defense

Jaru shakes his head. "Flee, the devil is too dangerous, but the spell cannot keep her here very long. Take cover and hide." Jaru pauses only to make sure Emmett reaches the other side before retreating into the ruins.

I'm not seeing what's at the other end of the bridge... closed door, opening?

"Take cover! Do not be pulled into the torrent!" Jaru warns. "A summoning wont last that long before she is dragged back to Hell." He casts protection from evil on himself and makes sure Emmett reaches safety before retreating into the ruins.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

can I get the summon monster # and hypothesize the duration?

"A summoning trap!" Jaru hisses as the dark angel appears. "But what is it?"

I think our bard is the only one with know planes.

Jaru pulls out his carved bone symbol and blessed the dog.

giddyup

. Anyone can help?

would a remove fear spell work?

"Ropes are our friends," Jaru intones. onward!

is the wand the same as a rod of flame extinguishing?

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Jaru picks up the wand before Simeon can get his grubby fingers on it. He passes his hand before his eyes and examines it with magic sight. "A wand that extinguishes flame," he announces to the others.

is the spoiler above an ability check?

Feeling somewhat sorry for the hungry creatures, Jaru reloads and takes aim at the last creature.

xbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 15 PB, inspired, precise shot
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Jaru has precise shot

right. +2 to damage.

Jaru blows out in frustration at his miss and quickly reloads and fires again t the vermin on Emmett.

xbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

I'm on vacation for the next week. May be slow posting. If I'm slowing things down, feel free to bot Jaru.

Jaru raises an eyebrow at Emmett's odd claim, but doesn't hesitate to slam a bolt in his crossbow and steps away as he fires at the creature on Emmett.

xbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

Jaru purses his lips. "Well, it seems the explosion was long enough ago that a rope bridge was built to replace the bridge that was destroyed. I think a safety rope will once again be a wise idea."

Jaru nods. "A rope would be long enough and surely a wise move. Let us try that."

Jaru encourages the others. "Lead on. Carefully across and keep a watch for more wind devils."

"If Count Caromarc is in the habit of bathing in the river, you might be right,"

"You might avert your eye then, Elidal." Jaru says with a trace of a smile. "We might be about to disturb his bath."

The tall priest is clearly disappointed and annoyed. "Who builds a secret to the dining room?" he asks no one in particular. He waves off the odd butler. "No, no. You have done all you can for us."

"Continue, Emmett. Perhaps this leads to the bath," he adds sarcastically.

"Forward, Emmett. I am thinking a maker of golems likely has a secret lab and I wonder what other secrets might we find there."

"Very well," Jaru sighs and turns to go through the door east of the stairs.

did we check all the rooms upstairs? It looks like there still are some darked out areas.

Jaru raises his hands. "We did not take anything," he replies. "But we are concerned about your master. You have said that he is indisposed, but we must talk to him. Will you take us to him or do we need to look for him ourselves?"

Jaru shakes his head, "I do not understand." He continues his search of the room, this time for a tome. He also takes a closer look at the engineering books in the other room to make sure there is nothing of particular interest. If nothing is found, he shrugs and beckons for the others to follow him back downstairs.

Jaru reads the letter aloud. "Adrissant. He was at the funeral, an old acquaintance of the professor."

So it's been a while, is the letter referring to us? I thought we delivered all the books to Judge Diarmid? We didn't really have any direct dealings with Adrissant did we?

Jaru pays no mind to the rich furnishings. we aren't common thieves, he thinks. He does take some time to look around the master bedroom for any clues however.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Jaru looks to the others. "I am starting to find 'indisposed' to be particularly vague and slightly ominous. I think we need to find out exactly what Caromarc's state is. Let us start upstairs." He moves up the stairs before the contraption returns.

I'm assuming the 'up' is stairs.

Jaru thinks. "Caramarc hasnot departed, but have you seen Lord Caromarc since his guests departed? Can you take us to him?

Jaru shrugs, "Ask it."

The priest turns again to the robo-butler. "Have you heard of the golem Carmarc calls Vengeance? Is he here?"

Before the golem returns, Jaru follows Elidal to look beyond the door. "I do not see this in the same light as the factory which was obviously inhabited and we were acting only on suspicions. The troll and goblin served the Whispering Way. Either Caromarc is allied with them or he is in dire danger."

When the automaton reappears, Jaru joins the others. "You have no food?" He gives Emmett a look and shakes his head. The tall priest looks down at the golem butler. "Where is Caromarc? Is he in the Schloss or has he left? If he is here, does he have other guests?"
