Jolga Krak's page

Jolga coughs and smiles while the ogre formerly known as Gumshy drags the manticorpse. "That was... What do you say... Fun!"

Jolga hustles along as fast as an over-armored old man can move!

Jolga suggests "I believe we should move farther away before pushing the button."

Jolga casts a guiding spell on Ton to help as he can.

Guidance. Use it for whichever check you like.

Jolga has a little K eng but is incredibly terrible at climbing.

The rust monster I cast shadow trap on needs to make a DC 17 will save or be entangled and unable to move more than 5 ft from his current location in the doorway. Probably doesn't matter as I imagine Charles just killed it. If not, I'm trying to ensure he did with a snap.

Jolga snaps at Charles as he sees him attack again, guiding his offhand dagger home.

Turning that into a critical threat if his first hit doesn't kill the monster.

Unable to see into the room from this position, Jolga merely spreads stardust on any rust monster he can view.

Using heavens spirit ability to grant -2 to attack rolls and sight-based perception for 2 rounds. No save.

Jolga has difficulty seeing what's going on but decides to keep trying to aid his allies. "We should move forward or back so we can see what is happening." He casts a spell on the rust monster he can barely see.

Shadow trap on the fellow 15 ft south of me.

Discord is completely available in your browser.

Jolga looks to the stars, though he can't see them in the day or inside this building, but nonetheless faint, transparent spirits swirl around him, bolstering his allies.

+1 morale to attk and weapon damage from battle spirit.

Ok I can see now.

I can't see anything on the map at all, which isn't usually a problem. If that's because I'm too far out of position, I'll move once and begin my battle spirit inspiration (if I'm within 30 ft of the party after moving my 20 ft). If I still wouldn't be in range, I'll double move 40 ft total.

Another nat 1 init for Jolga! And my defiant luck feat doesn't apply to init... :(

Survival to see how much smoke I made: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 1 = 17

Good time for a 2...

Jolga tilts his head. "I gave them the rites of my people. But it is not like burning green branches indiscriminately."

I would say that I didn't make any smoke but with only a 17, I'm not sure.

When Jolga finishes his rites for the dead, he re-enters with the others to investigate. "What has been discovered?"

Jolga starts taking the bodies off the stakes. "This is a disgrace. I will right this." He collects whatever flammables he can find to pile up.

Oh no. Doors stall PBP and we have a whole bunch of them.

Jolga waits to make sure his companions are close enough to him then walks up the stairs and opens the first door, checking for traps on the stairs then door the door on the right. If he doesn't find any traps, he opens the door (if it's unlocked).

Perception traps: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 1 = 21

Perception door: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 1 = 22

Perception in room?: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 = 27

Charles will be better at this but I figured I'd do one of them for him.

I think Zeke and I read it as "staked".

Jolga looks at the dwarf, puzzled. "But that would tell all your strength was worthless and should be discarded. Perhaps even that it was a putrid, festering disease!"

Jolga looks at the bodies on stakes and grows angry "What kind of honor for the dead is this? Whoever did this deserves to have their body buried underground in shame!!!"

I'm not very good inferring logistics so could people help me out and explicitly say when they altered the sheet?

It looks like someone added the laser rifle and Ton added the EMP pistol to his sheet. I just added the gold, armband, mystery ring, and battleaxe to the group loot. I can split up the gold later.

Ooops... Got confused while posting: "A mammoth tusk scrimshaw from the Realm of the Mammoth Lords with several spells carved on its surface. The tusk weighs 20 pounds and functions as a magic scroll containing the spells bull’s strength, ice storm, and phantom steed." That was in another game which is right above this one on my page. But the appraise and K eng were intended for here.

I wasn't planning to rest just yet. Want to scout out the dish first. :) Good chance we have to fight something on the way there anyhow.

That's a cool scroll!

Jolga hums to himself while helping examine the gear.

I auto-aid the spellcrafts. Guidance on anyone helping with stuff.

Appraise: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11
K eng: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 = 23

When the group is done examining the equipment, he turns to the others "Should we examine this dish from afar before resting for the day?"

Wulf, note that bull's strength from cookies lasts 1 hour so you've still got that +4 enchancement in addition to the +2 size.

Jolga looks at the creature with a satisfied nod. Yes it is certainly worthy to habe its strength honored... He turns to Wulf "Will you bring its body down to the ground? The skeleton will drag it for me." Then he descends with everyone else.

Jolga looks over the edge to see if Ton is alright. Seeing the elf standing next to Gumshy, he waves and shouts "We have done it!" Then he steps over to Zeke, drawing out a wand.

CMW wand: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 8) + 3 = 17
CMW wand: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 1) + 3 = 9

Then he begins eyeing the body of the manticore. "Hmmm.... this could be extremely useful..."

Can you give me its stats or number of HD? Looking at a regular manticore, I can tell this isn't a normal one.

Thanks, Zeke! Unfortunately, Wulf is rolling like a barbarian who has never tried to fly and hit things before...

I'm not saying we shouldn't play it by the rules, whether or not that helps us. Just commenting for fun.

Yikes, Zeke! Doesn't that mean all those attacks get focused on us instead of spread out!?

Heal check to know if Zeke is ok: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

I'm going to assume that he looks ok to me.

Concentrating hard, Jolga keeps trying to slow down the massive creature while stepping somewhere safer.

Move, provoking an AoO. Scorpion is with me increasing my AC by 2 to 22. Hoping to eat the AoO on the movement then cast a spell without an AoO. We'll see how smart the manticore is. I think I had to move through some barbed wire.

Then Jolga casts a spell.

Shadow trap again. DC 17 will save.

CL check for SR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Currently, scorpion and I are missing 5 hp each.

True. Discord can be brutally fast.

Garfaulk: Go to the channel, hit the three vertical dots, click channel settings, and there will be a sliding switch for muting the channel.

Jolga snaps at Wulf as he swings at the moving creature.

Bring AoO up to 19 to hit. I have a feeling I might not be on this roof much longer...

Gotcha.

Elemental AoO: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 16
Dam: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1d3 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + (1) = 4

So the manticore provokes from the lightning elemental and from Wulf by moving from a square threatened by both?

Zeke, who's that levitate on? It looks like the manticore is threatening me and I'll be the next to go off the edge...

Current spells from Jolga: Prayer on everyone (penalty on Manticore), Fly on Wulf, Enlarge on Wulf, Barkskin on Wulf, Magic weapon Wulf, SNA

The elemental flies toward the manticore again, striking at it.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 24
Dam: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1d3 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + (3) = 8 3 of that is electricity.

Jolga attempts to cast a spell carefully with the manticore in his face.

Concentration: DC 16: 1d20 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 6 = 28

The manticore's shadow stops moving, as if it would fix the creature in place.

Shadow trap on the manticore. DC 17 will save or be entangled and unable to move more than 5 ft from his current location. If he fails and is flying, he can only hover in place or fall. He can re-attempt the save as a full round action.

I would be more responsive as well but I'm fine with it here on the forums.

I should probably roll against spell resistance for prayer then.

CL check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Jolga will "snap" to increase the first attack roll that is within two of a critical threat by one or two to make it a critical threat. FYI all. This will be standard procedure for a while.

Notes: Wulf was enlarged. Since no one else claimed it, let's say barkskin and magic weapon also went to him.

Mara, who has been flying close to Jolga, intercepts the tail spike,Zea deflecting it and making it strike Jolga less hard.

Bodyguard familiar so 5 damage to each of us.

Jolgan a moves a little and prepares to cast a spell.

Readying prayer for when Wulf flies north enough for everyone to be within 30 ft of me. Manticore already is. +1 to attack, saves, and weapon damage rolls for us. -1 for it. No save. Mind-affecting. SR applies.

The lightning elemental flies forward and attacks the manticore.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 18+1 prayer+1bless
Bludg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Lightning: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Active spells at the end of this round: Enlarge Wulf, Barkskin Wulf, Fly Wulf, Magic Weapon Wulf, Prayer everyone. SNA II

That'd be cool!

I didn't prepare bless today because I went battle shaman, which provides a +1 morale bonus to attack and damage rolls and doesn't stack with bless. I'm happy to keep preparing bless on days that I don't choose battle shaman.

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 4 = 3

Jolga clanks in his armor as he is lifted to the top of the tower.

Works for me. So we can cast some spells while we're down here? If so, I'll do the following:

Enlarge person, Wulf.
Barkskin, whoever wants it.
Magic weapon, whoever wants it.
And right before we are ready to attack, summon nature's ally II to get a lightning elemental.

After hearing Wulf's description, Jolga turns to the others "Do any of you know what this creature is?"

Sounds like an arcana check, which Jolga doesn't have.

I'm fine with whoever goes first and/or using the autograpnel. I'd love to levitate or be carried up but if not I'll take a dose of bull's strength so I might not fail the climb check. Got quite the ACP here...

Looking up at the tower, Jolga looks at Wulf, who is the only one who seems to have any rope. "Those who wish should cling to this while Ezekiel" he turns "That is what your name means, yes?" After getting a reply, he continues "Yes he can levitate one of us up as well. I am not particularly strong to cling to a rope... I would greatly appreciate levitating..."

Jolga could very easily get a negative climb check to attempt to hang onto the rope as Wulf flies. Also, Wulf is the only one with any rope! XD

How tall is the tower?

So I checked and Wulf can fly very badly at 40 ft per move with a heavy load of up to 1040 pounds while bull's strengthed and enlarged. "It's not a matter of weight ratios! It's a sheer matter of how it holds it!" So he can carry as many of us as he wants if he finds a way to carry us.

You have four ranks in fly?

Jolga smiles "Simply think where you wish to go. I can make you large as well to carry us."

Wulf, what's your carrying capacity enlarged and with bull's strength from the cookies?

Jolga leaves the skeleton behind and casts fly on Wulf. "Would you lift me?"

Poor Garfaulk is WAY over on the other side of Scrapwall on roll20. The middle of the west wall. XD

Jolga looks up at the tower somewhat daunted at the prospect of climbing it. "Well I do suppose I could help get some of us up there..."

I prepped one fly today. Was planning to use it on Wulf vs flying creature, which it seems like this challenge will turn into. Maybe Wulf would be willing to carry me up? XD Skelly can stay down here. Or I cast fly on Skelly who carries me and Wulf up there.

Prepping: Guidance, stabilize, detect magic, detect poison
Pass without trace, heightened awareness, shadow trap, shadow trap, shadow trap, magic weapon
2: Resist energy, resist energy, barkskin, summon nature's ally II
3: Fly, prayer

Battle spirit as well. Who needs AC buffs?

Ok good to know. Will prep accordingly.
