Jeeves the Inimitable's page

Jeeves hesitates and waits to see if any targets emerge from the room before proceeding. Delay

What the Nine Hells am I doing in the front again?

Jeeves quickly stabs at the ogre (Ogre 1) before him then tumbles out of the way to let the others get a better shot at them.

Guisarmed + Haste - Cover: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 4 = 21,Damage: 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (3, 3) + 13 = 19

Acrobatics to Tumble: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Jeeves steps forward to open the door into the kitchen, being happier when he takes up the second row of fighting.

Holding his guisarme in one hand he waits until everyone is ready to go.

"Here goes nothing," he murmurs under his breath.

Sounds like fun/a real pain. :D

It was a great weekend, especially since I haven't been able to attend GenCon since I moved to the West Coast in 2010. Not the same as actually being there in person, of course, but that was impossible this year.

Sorry about disappearing. I'm in GenCon heaven/hell and busy running two games a day. I'll be back next week, I promise!

I'm waiting to see what the results of Horek and Eldric's attacks are before moving in.

Seltyn tries to get close, but there's a jam at the door.

It's a doorjamb, although strawberry-rhubarb is my favorite!

Jeeves moves up, ready to strike at a giant that gives him the opportunity.

(Move action and activating Combat Expertise and Power Attack; I have reach and Combat Reflexes, so will take pot shots at anyone who moves through my threatened area)

In case one does:
Guisarmed: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13, 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (3, 1) + 13 = 17
Guisarmed: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12, 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (3, 3) + 13 = 19

Well, not with those rolls.

chillblame,

I posted earlier that I had shrunk back down to normal size. I'm not sure I can change my character's size in roll20, but I bet you can. Would you mind? Thanks!

Jeeves gets ready ... to go in second or third.

"Here goes nothing."

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

What Horek said.

Jeeves also hands Mazrak his Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3; 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7, okay, so that's two charges.

Jeeves whispers: "I'm happy to sneak in there and have a look if you like. I can be quite silent if needed."

Jeeves nods to Seltyn. "My tricks are all I have, really, Master Elf. The last fight against the hill giants already proved that I underperform as a front-line warrior. That has never been my way; I've always let others lead and cleaned up after them."

Jeeves shrinks down to his normal size as they clear the rooms. "No good being this big when I can't fit in the room, you know."

Jeeves nods to Horek. "I will keep my eyes out for them."

Taking 10 on Perception at the door gives me 24 (or 26 to detect trasp).

Jeeves takes a moment to check the door before waiting for the zombie ogre to open it.

Hearing Horek's comment, Jeeves mutters: "We don't know where the orcs are at the moment, do we?"

Generally I believe it's better procedure to clear each room as you go through a building so that you don't get surprised from behind. Unless I'm reading the map wrong, that would mean we check the first (red) door first by listening and then explore it.

I'm happy to talk to the orc in his language, but I thought we were just moving forward. If we aren't:

Jeeves digs in his belt and pulls out a wand, moving it about and intoning magic-sounding words before touching the orc near his feet. "This sometimes works," he whispers to himself.

Use Magic Device vs. DC 20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14, nope

Embarrassed, he extends the healing wand to Mazrak to use in his stead.

Jeeves nods at Horek and hangs back to let him do his job. He stays behind, hiding nearly all of his huge frame behind the door. He keeps an eye out for Horek, however, in case he needs help.

Can someone link me into the Roll 20 game? I lost my acct info. Can't join.

Seltyn HERE'S the link.

Jeeves moves up behind Horek staying at his large size and switches back to his polearm.

"Mazrak, stay close to me. It's likely I'll requiring more healing in the minutes to come."

Jeeves sidesteps the giant's clumsy swings and switches to a two-hand grip on his longsword. "No stay down, dammit!"

He then switches into Giant to address his opponent.

"You think I'm pretty, eh? What about you and I get out of here and find out how pretty?"

Spending two points of inspiration to get an attack bonus on my first attack.

Full Power attack with CE 1: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (18) + 6 + (4) = 28, Damage: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (2, 3) + 13 = 18
Full Power attack with CE 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22, Damage: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (2, 6) + 13 = 21

Jeeves winces as he lifts his sword just in time to deflect the giant's club from smashing his head and it instead impacts with his midsection.

"Thanks, didn't need that kidney for much," he mumbles in Giantish as he makes two quick cuts with his longsword.

Longsword on giant 5: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15,Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 = 11
Longsword on giant 5: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11,Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 5) + 7 = 17

Jeeves You have noted that you have shield and haste cast on you. Has that been elected in your AC? If it has then...

Sadly yes. I'm only wearing a chain shirt with no shield, so my AC isn't that great even with Shield and Haste, especially with Enlarge Person cast on myself.

Jeeves is pounded hard, but through magic and speed avoids the hits[/ooc]

My current AC is 24, so that second greatclub actually does hit me.

Mazrak will move to Jeeves and touch the Lore Warden Empiricist.

Jeeves is healed for 24 points of damage. GM I moved Mazrak to the door.

Jeeves briefly looks down to see what made him feel so good all of a sudden and nods his head in thanks, never completely taking his gaze off the giant before him.

Jeeves swings two-handed with his longsword at the giant before him, his weapon a blur due to the magic infusing his group.

Attack w/CE on Giant 5: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11, Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 6) + 7 = 16
Iterative Attack w/CE on Giant 5: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18, Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 6) + 7 = 15

Jeeves grimaces slightly at his companions' suggestions but eventually nods in agreement.

"Sounds like a plan but keep the healing handy. At this size I'm going to get dinged a lot," he states, his voice a full octave lower than normal due to his size. He moves into the room and drops his guisarme, which at his current size takes up to much room and draws his longsword.

Move action to current location while drawing my longsword; drop guisarme as free action. Attack Giant 5 w/Combat Expertise: longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16, Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 6) + 7 = 18

Current AC w/CE is 24/14/20

Jeeves grimaces at the giant's inaction.

"They don't want to get out of there and I don't blame them. Anyone have anything to make it a worse idea to stay in the room?"

Delay

"Well, let them pick on someone their own size," Jeeves mutters as he grabs a small vial of liquid from his bandolier and steps back. He immediately grows several feet in size, his polearm scraping the ceiling even in this giant home.

5'-step; drink extract of enlarge person as a standard action. GM, could you please make me large sized and put me in the 10' by 10' square where I am currently standing (currently in the "NWern" part of that square).

Jeeves peeks inside the room with all the giants. "Let them come to us!" he shouts. "Put them in the door bottleneck!"

Delay

Apologies for my absence. Our current shared home internment is not great for my psychological well-being, and one way I tend to manifest is to withdraw, which is not fair to all of you. I'll try my best to fight that urge.

Jeeves strikes at the giant within his reach, desperate to get him down.

Full attack 1 w/guisarme + PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28, Damage attack 1: 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (3, 1) + 13 = 17
Full attack 2 w/guisarme + PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22, Damage attack 2: 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (4, 3) + 13 = 20

If that giant has already been taken out, please move Jeeves to within 10' of another giant and he'll only make one attack.

Sorry, real life has been real. Very tired right now, I will post tomorrow.

Totally understandable. Thanks for letting us know.

Fine by me as well.

Work for the government in DC. Not telework eligible, and am waiting for approval. In the meantime they expect me to spend 3 hours a day on a train to come to work. Luckily my week long national guard duty just got cancelled.

Hey, DC! I went to high school in Prince George's County and my aunt and uncle still live in northern Montgomery County.

To help bolster our sense of community and solidarity, I'd like to ask a few questions, if I may. Who in this game is isolated in their home and who is still working and where do you live?

I'll go first, I am currently unemployed so I am staying at home with my son but my wife is still working, and we live in Oregon.

Jeeves, worried about his companions, steps into the giant's house and slashes at the wolf threatening Eldric (Wolf #6) from over his shoulder.

I have the Phalanx Formation feat, so allies in front of me don't provide cover for my target. I'll 5'-step first then:

Full guisarme attack #1 w/PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25, Damage #1: 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (1, 3) + 13 = 17
Full guisarme attack #2 w/PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28, Damage #1: 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (4, 4) + 13 = 21

If Wolf #6 is already dead when my turn comes up, Jeeves will instead move to within 10' of another wolf and get a single attack against it (you can use my first attack). He'll try to have cover behind an ally if possible (he's a back row fighter).

Everyone who has not acted in this round now can.

Sorry, do you mind letting us know specifically who that is?

Jeeves moves up behind his companions, stabbing at the nearest wolf with his guisarme.

Move action, Attack on Wolf 5: Guisarme attack + haste - PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26, Damage: 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (4, 1) + 13 = 18

Sorry for the delay.

Jeeves would have drunk extracts of Long Arm, Shield, Blur, and False Life: False Life: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6. I'm not sure which square the front wolf is located, but with all the movement, I'm sure I can reach a square where I can attack it so that it doesn't get cover. GM, if I am not in THAT square, please move me to it.

Guisarme attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23, Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 1) + 7 = 9

Buffs: Haste, Long Arm, Shield, False Life

Hi folks, I'm FINALLY back, sorry for the long delay. I had a combination of a writing deadline, a new house fiasco, and then my wife and I had our car totaled (while we were in it). We're thankfully both fine, but I've been dealing with the insurance stuff, plus trying to find a new car. I could have been more in touch, and I'm sorry for that, but things have calmed down again.

Sorry for dropping off the radar for a week, folks. I'm in the middle of finishing work on an unannounced writing project that's due next week, and let's just say that my writing process is less than efficient. I will be back soon, I promise!

Jeeves nods. "I agree, striking while they are busy besotting themselves seems like a good idea."

What time of day is it? Are we spending the night here, or do we continue on?

Jeeves walks over and shakes the farmer's hand (if it is offered). "Quite a setup you have here and well protected too! Have you seen any of the Jotuns passing by lately?"

Does it make sense that this person has not been overtaken, given how far south he is? Are his defenses good enough to hold off a few hill giants or even frost giants?

Knowledge (Engineering: 1d20 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (15) + 4 + (4) = 23

Also gauging the farmer to see if he's hiding something from us: Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 10 + (6) = 27

He will notice Master Jeeves has injuries. He will offer a touch to the noble warrior.

I don't, actually, I had 12 extra hp from my false life extract, but thanks for the concern! I"m guessing you had the spell slot to spare, so it doesn't matter one way or the other.

OK, I'll take the potion of bull's strength, thanks!

Jeeves joins Horek to track down some game (Survival check to assist Horek: 1d20 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (2) = 10, wow that was close!), not understanding that the woodsman probably could have caught a lot more if he hadn't been tromping noisily near him.

The butler spends the rest of the evening attending to the needs of the people they rescued, making sure they have enough to eat and drink and won't get too cold during the night so high in the hills.

During his shared watch with Mazrak, Jeeves gets into a deep discussion in Dwarven about his background, inquiring about his background and family. Jeeves seems very interested in details of dwarven culture in particular, especially family stories and lore. Jeeves speaks about his own service in return, regaling Mazrak (if he's interested) with tales of his service to various human nobles.

"I've never been in the service of a dwarven nobleman," Jeeves says in heavily accented, but quite passable Dwarven, "but I learned the language in the hopes that one day I might."

BTW, what time of day did the combat occur?

Jeeves walks over to Horek, scanning the surrounding area as he does so. "Master Horek, do you think we might find a sheltered place to camp for the night here? It seems the magic-users of the group could use some rest."

I wouldn't mind the potion of bull's strength, as I don't have anything that normally boosts mine.

Jeeves looks up from inspection the giant potions.

"Hmm, the bitter smelling one is a potion that boosts strength, while the yellowish-green one is a moderate healing draught. Anyone interested?"
