Karando Tull's page

Nice, congrats!

Yes, I'm the VC for Philadelphia, PA. We can totally count this as one of your review games, if that is helpful.

Ha! I'd love to run Sulfuric Negotiations for all of you.

Congrats, that's awesome! If you need any reviews, let me know!

Karando flicks the goo from his machete and says, "The most important thing was stopping this ooze, and making sure that it didn't wander into any nearby towns or cities."

He looks out over the horizon: "I can't imagine what it's like living close to the Mana Wastes, but this isn't your typical mutant or mana storm."

Just played 6-20 at Gen Con, but I'd jump back in for anything when you folks are done.

Karando smiles at keeping the blob's attention, raising his shield and swinging away again.

Raise Shield, Strike, Strike
machete: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26 for slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 6) + 7 = 17 deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 3

machete: 1d20 + 20 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 20 - 5 = 31 for slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 4) + 7 = 17 deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Shield Block for myself if needed, champion's reaction for anyone else hit by the oozeshard.

Don't forget it's enfeebled 2 after the champion's reaction! Also, I forgot that it also take 4 persistent (holy) spirit damage.

Karando raises his shield and takes two swipes with his machete.

Raise Shield, Strike, Strike

machete: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36 for slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 3) + 7 = 13 deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 4
machete: 1d20 + 20 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 20 - 5 = 34 for slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 5) + 7 = 18 deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Karando raises his shield and steps up to the transformed ooze. He spends his last action on a brief prayer to Kazutal, asking she extend her protection to his allies.

Raise Shield, Step, Expand Aura to 30 ft.

I'll Shield Block if I'm hit and champion's reaction if anyone else is hit by the oozeshard. (I have 2 reactions.)

The champion's lesson is: Always raise your shield.

Karando raises his shield and moves closer to the big ooze.

I'm so slow!

Karando shifts back into his human form and calls on Kazutal's healing mercy.

Survival: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

The giant cat strikes out at the tasty oozes.

I'll attack yellow, then white if yellow goes down.

jaws: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42 for piercing: 4d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 5, 1, 2) + 7 = 16
claw: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 22 - 4 = 37 for slashing: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (10, 3) + 7 = 20
claw: 1d20 + 22 - 8 ⇒ (13) + 22 - 8 = 27 for slashing: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14

Same AC as you, Karando?

I wish! AC 28 when I'm a big cat.

"Or, there are other alternatives..." Karando, informed by Teja, calls on Kazutal and shifts his form into a huge jaguar!

He strikes out at the blue ooze.

jaws: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36 for piercing: 4d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 5, 2, 3) + 7 = 19

Reaction: Down to only Reactive Strike!

Thanks!

Nice job running that combat. It's a bear.

Karando moves across the battlefield and takes a swipe at the assassin.

machete: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 20 + 1 = 29 for slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 6) + 7 = 14 deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 8

I'll Glimpse of Redemption on that hit against Manny. That will help the damage on the second hit, too

Will: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

Karando raises his shield and slashes twice at white.

Raise Shield, Strike, Strike
machete: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 20 + 1 = 41 for slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 3) + 7 = 15 deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Reactions: (I have Quick Shield Block, so I get an extra reaction to Shield Block. My shield also has its own reaction that it uses to block damage to adjacent allies. Sorry! Champions in PBP...)
-Shield Block if I'm attacked (Martyr's Shield (Hardness 12, HP 120/120, BT 60))
-Shield Block if an adjacent ally is attacked (Shield's reaction)
-Glimpse of Redemption if someone within 15 ft. is attacked
-Reactive Strike if Something provokes and I have a reaction left

Sorry! Didn't have a notification on this game for some reason.

Will: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24

Karando ignores the disappearing assassin, raising his shield and crossing the battlefield to attack Alma Vartressa.

machete: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 1 = 31 for slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 2) + 7 = 12 deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 8

-Reactive Strike if Something provokes and I have a reaction left

With the assassin right where he wants him, Karando raises his shield and attacks the flanked enemy.

Raise Shield, Strike, Strike
machete: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38 for slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 = 15 deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 2

The group has the blue weaponmaster at a disadvantage, but Zabu is surrounded. Karando raises his shield, slices at the weaponmaster, and goes to aid the gnome barbarian.

Raise shield, Strike, Stride
machete: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 20 + 1 = 32 for slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 3) + 7 = 16 deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Hero Point (Fortitude): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25

Boo!

The divine energy blasts over Karando, "There go my eyebrows, again."

He raises his shield again and strides into battle, ending by taking a swipe at yellow.

I might provoke from red if she has Reactive Strike

"I trust you to be honorable," Karando states. He offers a hand to Alma, then readies his machete and salutes the opposition.

Yes, I'll also be using Defend.

"Excellent work, everyone," Karando compliments. [b]"And now it's time to prove our other capabilities. He unslings his shield, which almost seems to move into place of its own accord, and unsheathes his machete.

Sorry guys, I was traveling yesterday! Looks like a lot happened :P

Seconded for Manny

Karando drops a stone into the pit trap to trigger it, then stomps on the jaws to jam them.

Athletics: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

Axes: +18 Athletics
Acid: +14 Medicine
Columns: +18 Athletics
Blades: +12 Acrobatics
Pit: +18 Athletics

So, I can take a decent shot at anything. I'll let others decide first

I think I did okay on Shell Game, but I'll post my stuff next time so we can coordinate

"I beg you pardon, but could I have that item the mysterious man just slipped into your pocket?" Karando asks one of the people in the room, politely.

Shell Game
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22
HP: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31

"I don't think I will ever become used to seeing fleshforged creatures," Karando confides quietly to the group. "And a deadly gauntlet just to have the chance to risk our necks fighting a runaway ooze? I've been on safer expeditions."

A sturdy Razatlanti man wearing heavy armor listens patiently. His chestplate is embossed with the image of a prowling jaguar, and he carries a heavy shield on his back and a machete at his hip.

"Karando Tull. I hope you find your father--Kazutal's smile on your quest."

He questions Dalanin: "I hear that our quarry is unusual even for this blighted land. Can you tell us anything about it?"

All set! Updated Slides and Macros.

Unfortunately this character is not a handsome kobold. I'll update everything today!

I would love to play with you again! You did a great job. Look me up if you ever need to fill a table.

"Good riddance, though I'm sure we haven't seen the last of that hag," Karando sighs. "Is everyone okay?"

Karando raises his shield and steps to attack Arisept.

Raise Shield, Step, Strike, Strike

Unfortunately, no Aura of Courage!
Will: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33

Karando raises his shield and chops at the flanked animate dream.

Reflex (Bulwark): 1d20 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 3 = 21
Karando takes the fireball to the face, raises his shield and takes a long stride into combat, flanking the green creature.

Raise Shield, Stride, Strike

-AoO if Something provokes and I have a reaction left

Karando pulls a twisting twig of a wand and casts longstrider on himself, then readies his sword and shield.

Karando will use Glimpse on the shadow that attacks Hobbs, reducing the damage to 3.

Karando raises his shield and slices once more at the red agent.

machete: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25 for slashing: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10 and deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 5
machete: 1d20 + 18 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 18 - 5 = 20 for slashing: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 6 = 11 and deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 6

If my first attack happens to take out red, I'd Stride up next to the shadow.

-AoO if Something provokes and I have a reaction left

I'll take the AoO on red; Shield Block to protect Liam. (Reduces damage to 3, Shield takes 3). I think my slowed is over, if not ignore my second attack.

machete: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 for slashing: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12 and deadly?: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Karando raises his shield and continues to attack red.

Karando raises his shield and strides into the room.

That's it, as I was slowed

Good use of a HP at least...

Confused by the bullet hit, Karando lashes out around himself.

machete: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37 for slashing: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13

"Little do you realize, Aslynn is far more a danger to you than we are," Karando opines. "We'd like to help you, if we can."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39

"Was there a need for such destruction? I hope that you have somewhere else to go." Karando sympathizes with the Onyx Alliance members.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22
Hero Point: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26

"I'll pass on the cookie, but we would appreciate the information. Aslynn has interfered with our business for too long, and we'd like her to get her comeuppance." Karando finds this hag, strangely, less odious than the undead master.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

"At least they've confined this disgusting trade to one district. Let's find our contact and move on to more pleasant surroundings." Karando peers around the stalls for their contact.

"Nice work. What an odious creature. No doubt we'll see more of the same in the soul stalls." Karando resigns himself to the visit.
