Spot checks

2: rolled 16 +7 = 23

"They're just sitting on their eggs. Mmmm, Eggs.
Eating meat is murder, yummy, yummy murder."

"Do we attack or go around??"

Jas draws his sword and Cora levels her crossbow. Urdok pulls a fresh steak from behind his back and the beast runs off farther to the south.

initiatives

Rolled 16 +7= 23

Attack 1: 14 +11 = 25

Spot check 1d20 +7=5+7= 13

Let's kill it.

The woman stiffens. Her already old eyes grow even milkier, and a voice that scuttles like a spider, says in a language you understand: I know that four eyes have gazed upon you and their servant sees you out. You would do well to avoid him.

She shakes her head, sits up a little straighter and looks to Urol, prompting him to continue the conversation.

Urol ask her what she meant by "four eyes"

Ok, here's some catch up.

Healing for Jas, Urol, and Thunderstrike 1d8+1=7, 1d8+1=4, 1d8+1=5, 1d8+1=3, 1d8+1=8

Quick prayer to the Fury for the food we gathered from corpses.

Why does it have to be spiders? Can't we go around the ruins?

Thank you and the Fury.

Anybody hurt? I should probably heal you guys before something bigger is attracted by the dead birds. *grin*

I think I'm only down 6, but I'm not sure.

Like many dramatic moments, the clash between Jas and the pteri is caught on heightened senses. The wind whistles from each scale, the light travels through its wings showing tiny maps of veins. Jas shipwrecked hair blows from the force of wind in front of the creatures diving face. His large arm raises, the sword magically grown seems bigger than the creature's thin neck can handle. In slow motion they collide...

attack of opportunity from Jas, anyone can take out the other, tangled critter.

to hit rolled 14 + 14= 28

damage rolled 3 +9= 12 with out being big bonus

load cross bow and fire.

to hit 12 +10=22
to damage rolled 5

"I hope I don't run out of bolts before we get back to town."

I fire when I'm ready and they are within 120 ft.
to hit- rolled 8, +10= 18, +1 more if we are still blessed.

damage=10 wow maxed out.

Rapid reload let's me shoot again next round.

Init rolled 3+7=10

Put away sword, ready crossbow.
Crank and load.
Aim.

By that time, they should be in range.

I go later, but I remembered to post now.

usual split with power attack with sword.

1st attack rolled 7 +13=20 to hit
Damage rolled 5 +11 = 16 damage

2nd attack rolled 7 +5= 12 to hit
Damage rolled 9 +11= 20 damage

I'm not sure what the growth spell does to these, I added the bless to the to hit rolls.

Still need initiatives from Cora, Teaglin, Jaden, Jas. [/ooc]

Init: rolled 1 +7=8

attack rolled 5 +10=15, 16 for bless

damage rolled 6.

after shooting, stow the heavy crossbow and draw the greatsword.

Jaden sees the warmage cast the spell on a load of bolts, grabs a few, and loads up his crossbow with about 10 of them. He loads a few more clips and throws them to Cora

"Urdok, we lay an ambush here. I will take the north side, Cora can take the south with Jas. We cut them down as they pass. You and Teaglin cover the path close with Trey and Fang."

Jaden readies his crossbow, puts his shield on his back, and belts his axe. He grabs a harpoon and ties the rope to a tree and sets the harpoon near his his ambush site.

"Sounds good."

"Yes, Tavey, slice, slice. But, put your hip into it, to get more power. There you go."

"Are we stopping to butcher the birds?"

Reflex rolled 19+5=24 :))

Step away from the birds.

Stow crossbow.
Draw Greatsword.

you can draw your sword with no ill effects-leaving a threatened square will provoke an attack of opportunity--if you would rather attack go ahead

I thought changing weapons provoked anyhow.

Ok, if I get to attack. I attack. With my standard power attack spread.
Rolled 14 +12=26
Damage rolled 9 + 11=20

Second attack rolled 3 +4=7, I assume that's miss.
But, damage rolled 8 +11= 19 anyway. ;)

Jas is up-then the Terror Birds (then fang's ferocious flurry of feathers and flesh :)

Step away from the birds.

I move closer to get a good shot.
Rolled 7 to hit, +10 to hit, 17.

I assume I hit. Bird number 1. :)

Damage (1d10) rolled 9.
I don't recall if masterworks ranged weapons does extra damage.

Let me know when they are too close for me to use my crossbow.

I'll assume that I lent you the half plate before retiring and explained its usage along with an admonition for its return.

The armor allows you to make a bullrush attempt with no attacks of opportunity 3 times per day.

Hey, Teaglin, did this armor have any other bonuses?

Listen =15+6= 21
Initiative = 18+7= 25

Assume during the march, Jas has the greatsword over his shoulder on a belt with a ring, as you suggested.

Armed with the heavy crossbow, which he as already locked and loaded.

"Papa said, never gamble against a wizard."

"Yes, very exciting, how did you get to this place?"

"I'm not a wizard, I'm a warmage." Urdok replies in an offended tone. "Well iff'n yer not in the a gamblin' mood we can talks fer a bit. The short story of how I got here is I ran out on a debt with a bordello house. I figure this lump o' rock and sand was a good place to lay low, but layin' low is awful boring. I see ya happen to have a lot o' faith in the guy in the sky, mebbe ye kin tell me more about yer god, I been feelin awful lackluster without summun to pray ter now and then."

wizard? warmage? what's the difference?

The night passes uneventfully. Some predators came close to the beach and the burning carcass, but their tracks never enter the sand. Knowledge Nature ** spoiler omitted **

The morning dawns the clearest you have seen in days. The clouds are the friendly fluffy type, not the ship breaking storms they have been.

Try on the armor Teaglin let me borrow.

"the sail and other water logged materials you can make some bags with though and an extra belt with a ring from the rigging should do for a scabbard if you want."

k, we'll do all that the next day.

Teaglin, I'll accept your offer of that half plate.

Thanks.

Jas takes first watch.

Then wakes Jaden for the next.
Jas sleeps a little apart, trying to get distance from the noise of the snoring lizardman.

Fortunately some of the dry goods that were meant to supply the colony of Farshore remain intact. After only a couple of hours of searching the two come up with a number of items including 30 pounds of food, 20 pounds of feed, a masterwork heavy crossbow, 4 pints of lamp oil, two cases of crossbow bolts (20 total) 100 feet of hemp rope, 3 waterskins, a small wooden case with 2 potions of cure moderate wounds a watertight scroll tube, and an explorer's outfit. About an hour before sunset they have managed create some small rafts and lash all the gear together.

great!

scabbard would have been nice, and armor, a set of leather or studded.

thanks.

Knowledge Geography rolled 2 +4 heh 6.
"Looks like a short hike, let's do this people."

I take care of the gear I found on the ship.
Then help Teaglin sort out the food and stores.

"Teaglin, do you want to carry the potions of healing?
What do you make of this scroll case?"

I look at the lizard man and say,
"My name is Jas" and point to myself.
Then pointing at the lizard man, ask "What is your name?"

Spot Check on the things in the water 1d20=20 +7 on spot.
ooc, wow, I didn't expect to get a 20 again.

"Healer, I glad you decided to go to the ship with me. Tell me more about this Whirling Fury of yours. I don't recall hearing of her before."

After listening to Teaglin.

"Can you heal a broken ship?"
"Can you create food and water? I've seen other clerics do that before. If you can not, we may have to go inland for water and food."

As we get closer, "I want to look for survivors first. Tend to the wounded. I have helped to build a ship before, if her keel is broken, then we are done for. If her keel is still sound, we might be able to salvage the Wyvern. I wonder if any of the trees in that jungle will be useful."

ooc, How long will taking a 20 to search the ship for survivors take?

Help Teaglin get the long boat into the water, and send him off.
"Yes, go get the others, more eyes and hands will help."

How long will taking 20 to evaluate the ship take? I have +4 to ship building Craft.
Are we at high tide or low tide? If it's low tide, when it is high tide I want to pull the ship closer to shore.
I've lost my sense of time, what time of day is it now?

After that, I start searching the ship for useful mundane items, might as well take 20 on that also.
I'm looking for armor, heavy crossbow, bolts, food, scabbard for the great sword, spears, clothes, standard gear, backpack, sunrods, tindertwigs, everburning torches, boots, lanterns, oil, tools.

umm not to be a big fun dumper,

but Jas, i do not think you need to roll for every round you swim

I was taking the swim skill roll rules literally, and rolled 67 times because I thought it was funny. :))

It also takes me out of the picture for at least 7 minutes of game time.

Does anyone else do anything, like planning???
Healing our new Lizardman friend??

And it's calm seas, are you trying to get me drown? Do not say stormy seas. :))

Kill Avner, steal his horse and scout the island??

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Well, if you do start to founder, I'll be able to help out. I'll be following your progress from the sea floor. Perhaps I'll find something useful along the way.

Didn't you drop your gear so that you could make it to shore in the first place?

There was a reason I dropped my gear. So, don't worry about it. Thanks all the same.

What ever the DM says you find, is cool with me. Like armor. ;)

I thought most of the ship was on the shore with us for some reason.

Ok, nothing useful expect the tent.

I was also hoping for rope and larger pieces of wood to make a raft out of. Since, there isn't and you said better luck on the ship.

I'm swimming for the ship as full actions.

If I'm attacked in the water, I guess I keep swimming, since I can't fight in the water.

Using the clothes, Jas slings the great sword and swims out to the ship.
As he is swimming, Jas wonders, "What does 'You have made of this heroes!' mean?" But decides, if he didn't like Avner before, Jas doesn't like him now.

I swim for the part of the ship that had the row boat on it, or the part that's easiest to get out of the water at.

-I'll post more actions after I get to the ship.
200/3=66.66 swim checks, lets say 67. Or 67 rounds of swimming.
6.7 minutes of swimming. Lets say 7 minutes.
-I'm assuming calm waters, DC 10.
-I have +8 to Swim.

-So, it takes me 7 minutes to get to the ship, unless the 1's mean I drown. Also, let me know if I have to re-roll for the 2's also, if the DC is higher than 10.

Starting a fire and burning the corpses is acceptable also.

Is BBQ T-rex edible?

I start yelling out orders and/or suggestions for the survivors.

"It'll be a good idea to start a fire, it'll keep wild animals away."
"Let's start a funeral pyre for the dead."
"Take the clothes off the dead, we might need the fabric to make a new sail later."

"I think we can eat this giant lizard after we cook it some. Is anyone a butcher, or know how to cook?"

"Let's sort out the larger pieces of wood from the ship. Small pieces can go into the fire."

I start doing the work, if the survivors help, great. If not, so be it.

ok,

I redid the math for skill points for a 6th level human fighter.
adjusted for my new strength score.

made sure I'm paying x2 for cross class skills.

I think everything is correct finally.

Best picture I could find of a human fighter using a great sword. :))

After seeing that the dwarf is in the care of the cleric.
Jas cleans the gore off himself in the sea.

Mutters to himself, "Here is blood from my enemy, I offer to the gods of the seas."

After this little ritual, Jas looks for a shovel, or a piece of wood to use as a shovel.

Jas returns to where he found the sword, and where he dropped Jaden's harpoon.

1-I want to return the loaned harpoon back to Jaden, but I don't want to forget where I found the sword.

2-Keep a wary eye on the creature that came out of the T-rex, if it doesn't attack me, I leave it alone.

3-I want to dig a little in the sand to see if any more equipment from the fighter who had this sword before is in the sand.

4-Return the harpoon to Jaden, "Thank you for the use of your fine harpoon."

5- Later, from the wreckage, I'm looking for armor, heavy crossbow, bolts, food, scabbard for the great sword, spears, clothes, standard gear, backpack, sunrods, tindertwigs, everburning torches, boots in no paticular order. I try things on, if it fits I keep it. If anyone objects, I say, "They are dead, they have no use for it."

6- After the I have my gear. Help the cleric bury the dead, I want to make sure the corpses can't be used to make undead.

cool,

I figured out how to fix my picture.
Also found out I didn't need to spend so many points on languages. :P

I'll be adding a skill soon.

I think I posted to many times for me to change the picture. I may have to create a new alias.

I was wondering about doing max damage to break things, by shifting my max power attack. The rolls for butchering the t-rex answers that question, thanks.

"Butchering, dirty work."

Power attack, shift +6 to hit to damage.
first attack +7 to hit, +21 damage.
Rolled Critical 20. Damage rolled 4+21= 25 x2 = 50

second attack +2 to hit, +21 damage
Rolled 2, 4 to hit. Damage rolled 7+21= 28

-Was that enough to cut the dwarf out?

Spot check 1d20+7= 13+7= 20

So, I made the spot check.
I have no knowledge skills in nature. :))

Can anyone post, preferably in idiot proof language, how to move my rolls from that dice roller thingie to the game posting like you all are.

I've been copying the die roll to the posts by hand. :P I'm not too tech savy myself :))

My question is can we change pictures?

After stabbing the giant lizard, Jas retreats beyond the range of the beast's maw.

A glint catches the sailor's eye. Reaching down, Jas wraps his fingers around a pommel. Pulling on the hilt, Jas frees a sword from the sands. An eerie magical glow emanates from the great sword.

Dropping the harpoon loaned from Jaden, Jas renews the attack on the beast with his new found weapon.

Springing into an slashing attack, Jas swings wildly at the monster.

First attack 1d20+12 = 8+12 = 20
first damage = 2d6 +11 = 11+11= 22
Second attack 1d20+4 = 16+4 = 20
second damage = 2d6+11= 9+11 = 20

Jas springs back, away from the giant lizard.

"I thank the gods of the seas for giving me another breath and a new weapon to smite my enemies."

*Ding*
I forgot to add +1 stat for 4th level.
I feel stronger.

Now, I'm at +10 first, +5 second.

Yes,
I was using power attack to change my to hit and damage.

Strength bonus will change and I got your email about my weapon.
Since, I didn't get a reply about the spear. I think I'm going to go another direction with this character.

Great sword +3
damage 2d6 +3, +6 damage Strength bonus (x1.5 for two handed weapon)
critical threat 19-20, x2.

Power attack rules, one point minus to hit adds 2 points to damage for two handed weapons.

So,
first attack +12 to hit, +11 to damage
second attack +4 to hit, +11 to damage

will be my standard spread with power attack.

My next feat will be cleave.

"Well, thank you for the harpoon."

Pick up the Harpoon and begin launching sequence. (wait, wrong game.)

Spring attack lets me run in poke the giant lizard and run away.
Power attack (+6 to hit, +6 damage)

to hit 1d20 +6 (rolled 3, 9) I doubt I hit.
damage 1d8 +6 (rolled 8, damage 14)

to hit 1d20+1 (rolled 19, 20)
damage 1d8+6 (rolled 4, damage 10)

After reaching shore and seeing the attacking monster, Jas looks around for a weapon.

First choice ranged - crossbow.
Second choice - long spear.
Third choice - great sword.
Fourth choice - make shift weapon (club)

Search d20+4=22

My wife and I just found out we are pregnant about 10 minutes ago!! :D

Congrates :)

been too long since I played d&d needed to redo skills and feats :P

still need three initiatives (jas, trey, fang)

Initiative d20+7 = 14

Jas wakes from a nightmare of drowning. "Wait, it wasn't a dream." Jas finds himself of a part of the ship wreckage floating away from the shore. Jas lightens his load, sacrificing all of him possessions to the gods of the sea. Sighing, he jumps into the water and swims toward shore.

"Damn the bad luck."

To Jas, how about takeing Harpoon as a weapon focus, it would fit will with your theem.

The game mechanics isn't that specific. So, harpoon or spear, it doesn't make a difference.

I decided not to use weapon focus, because I think that requires more weapons training than Jas got. ;)

working on back story.

I'm thinking typical sailor.
Been on ship most of his career, helping to kill sea monsters and such.
Knows a little about shipbuilding to help.

Picked up other languages to help trade.

A dependable guy to have on ship.
