Keliwyn's page

Leaving Bower House and Ambassador Kalissreavil behind, Keliwyn heads for his apartment, all the while contemplating his lack of leads to pursue in finding the missing Seneschal, and by relation, the artist, Salvatore Scream. Disappointed in himself for not having more information to share with the Ambassador, Keliwyn ponders what he's been asked to do: wrangle in invitation to the party the Carowyn's are hosting for his friends, and enlisting those friends in helping him find the Seneschal. The former, he figures as he walks the quiet streets of Korvosa, should be easy. At the least, he could accompany Heather. The latter, however, could be more challenging, and would require returning to Old Korvosa. But where to pick up the search . . .

On his way through the city, Keliwyn will make routine stops to check on contacts for any information that may be useful, particularly among his more criminal contacts regarding the Red Mantis.

Diplomacy 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

As always these days, he's also keeping a careful eye out for anyone following him.

Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Along the way, he decides to detour to Heather's place, to ask if her may escort her to the Carowyn's party.

Keliwyn leaves the others as they go about their separate ways, and makes his own way back to Bower House to report to Ambassador Kalissreavil. On the way, he ponders every thing he's been through, and what it means for his adopted city. Not the least among his thoughts are the still missing Seneschal, the enigmatic Laori, the Red Mantis and the lost artist they seem to be after.

"Will of Pharasma?..hmmph..Will off Istas Wraithscar more likely..I mean I like her but sometimes she is just too..Intense you know"

"Intense is an understatement, my dear, and I'd rather have not fought Arkminos, but we came through it okay," Keliwyn replies, while silently acknowledging to himself how completely ineffective he was against the undead.

Turning his attention to the crowd, Keliwyn follows Emerion's lead and starts asking questions about Ruan.

diplomacy 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

"If he's fled to the sewers, he could be anywhere," Keliwyn says. "I suggest we give him up as gone, and considering how badly Istas torched him, I doubt we have to worry about him returning."

Climb 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Once everyone is agreement, and they look to finally leave the dungeon complex, Keliwyn climbs up to the elevator, and brings it back down for the others. "Going up?" he asks with a smile.

Momentarily stunned at the raw power shown by Istas, Keliwyn recovers and gives chase along with the others.

Reinvigorated by Emerion's attack and the fact that the nosferatu can be struck, Keliwyn presses on.

Attack 1d20 + 11 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 5 = 25 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3Sneak/Flank Damage 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 2) = 16

edit: grrrrrrrr . . .

Will Save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Keliwyn feels an urge to attack Fina and defend the nosferatu, but shakes it off as the undead's corrupt influence trying to work through him.

I still need to finish leveling K up, but here's his attack.

Keliwyn focuses, trying to get a feel for the timing of his attacks in relation to the nosferatu's speed.

Attack 1d20 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 3 = 27 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 Sneak/Flank Damage 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2, 2) = 13

Keliwyn curses at the nosferatu's speed in slipping his attacks.

"Damn! Somethings wrong!" Keliwyn exclaims as he makes for the double doors Emerion just shut. "Follow him!"

Keliwyn's intent is to open the doors and follow Emerion into the next room, facing whatever is there. Let me know what other rolls you may need.

initiative 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

"And here I was thinking that the interesting part of our day was over," Keliwyn says with a grin, following Emerion.

"Let's be mindful that our friend could come back at any moment," Keliwyn says as he looks over the library collection.

"Heather? Istas? Anything here of note to you?" Keliwyn asks as he looks over the locked chest.

Perception - looking for traps 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Then, to himself, he mutters, "I wonder what kind of valuables a vampire keeps . . ." as he squats before the chest, takes out his tools, and starts to work on opening it.

Disable device 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

"Hmmmmm . . .," the elf says as he moves from a squat to a sitting position.

2nd attempt 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31

"Let's hope he's gone for good," Keliwyn mutters as he begins to search the room for anything interesting.

Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26(Add another +2 for traps)

Keliwyn converges on Ramoska again, and tries to take advantage of his colleagues attacks in the hopes that the nosferatu won't be able to evade them all.

Attack 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 = 26 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Sneak/Flank Damage 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5) = 16

Keliwyn, amazed at the nosferatu's ability to slip his blade, continues to try and land a strike.

AoO
Attack 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 Sneak/Flank Damage 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3) = 13

Reg Attack
Attack 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 = 20 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 Sneak/Flank Damage 3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3) = 12

Made sure I remembered the +2 flanking bonus for attacks this time . . . not that it mattered.

Grim faced, Keliwyn lunges, hoping his flanking with Emerion will give him an advantage.

So no bane properties, right?

Attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 Sneak Damage 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6) = 13

Initiative 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Emerion's attack catches Keliwyn off guard, and he hesitates.

Keliwyn fans out to one side, opposite Emerion.

Keliwyn follows behind Emerion, but with a little less urgency. Once inside, he spreads out in an opposite direction from Emerion, taking up a spot on what he hopes to be a flank while making room for the others behind him.

Kel already had a cloak of resistance +1, if anybody wants that. If not, we can add it to the list of things that we're not tracking but want to sell.

"Well, not that that's settled," Keliwyn says with a smirk as he draws his rapier. "I suppose we should see to our friend."

Keliwyn looks at Emerion, and raising an eyebrow, leans in to say, "Do you really think she's going to let him go?"

"Well, there really is only one way to find out if he's still here, isn't there," Keliwyn says with a grin. "Pharasma has brought us this far," he says with a nod to Istas, "We may as well see it all the way through."

Keliwyn cleans his rapier and collects his bow, doing his best to clean that up as well. "That went well," he says with a grin. "Of course, we're now on the bad side of a goddess . . ."

"We still need to deal with the nosferatu..." Istas says, "That one may tax us as much as Andaisin, but we should drive him here at the very least."

"Hmmmmm . . . What do we want to do about him? If he was any way complacent in the plague on the city, we shouldn't let him leave as he requests. But do we have the resources to tackle him?"

Keliwyn notices Heather's casting a spell and the corresponding stiffening of what was Lady Andaisin. Taking his time (delay initiative) he shifts his weight from foot to foot, nodding at Istas and Emerion. "Let's finish this," he says.

Attack w/ haste and flank bonus 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 14
Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Sneak Damage 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5) = 14

edit: D'oh!

I forgot to account for being sickened. My hits are still good, but damage needs to be knocked down -2 for each roll . . . so, 11 points total?

Additional damage from last bow attack 1d6 ⇒ 3

"Come here," Keliwyn growls as he drops his bow, draws his rapier and slogs through the muck to take up flanking with Emerion.

Attack w/ haste & flank bonuses1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 31
Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3Sneak Damage 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3) = 7

Confirm Crit 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 27
Crit Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

edit: low rolls on damage, but still 17 points total

Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 Damage 1d6 ⇒ 6

Do I still get the special oathbow properties against Lady Andaisin since it's her in a resurrected form? I'm guessing not.

Fort Save 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Initiative 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Keliwyn cringes at the odor and unsuccessfully tries to ignore the fluids mixing on the floor before him.

Keliwyn pulls the scythe away from the body, flinging it in the corner, before retrieving his bow and nocking an arrow.

Forgot my flanking bonus on my attacks above, but it really doesn't matter - more dramatic this way!

"Your new bloodveil...is a failure," Emerion murmurs. He looks up at the others. "Do we want to risk searching her body?"

"No," Keliwyn replies. "Leave it to the guard."

Keliwyn drops his bow and draws his rapier before joining the fray, but leaves the talking to Istas.

Attack 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 1 = 21 Damage 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 2) + 4 = 10

Sneak damage, if flanking: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) = 7
(I know Istas is already flanking with Emerion, so I don't see it happening, but wanted to just throw in it there.)

Blows on dice for luck

1d100 ⇒ 74

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Edit: Damn.

Hmmm . . . I'm not sure what comes into play here. The spell description reads: A creature 5 feet away has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target). The rules for concealment read: If you have line of effect to a target but not line of sight, he is considered to have total concealment from you. You can't attack an opponent that has total concealment, though you can attack into a square that you think he occupies. A successful attack into a square occupied by an enemy with total concealment has a 50% miss chance (instead of the normal 20% miss chance for an opponent with concealment).

So, if Keliwyn has a means of perception other than sight that allows him to correctly guess what square Lady Adaisin is in, he gets a 50% miss chance. The question is, how to adjudicate that guess? Do I actually just guess? Does Keliwyn make a perception check? Thoughts?

Dabbler's Map, for reference.

Note: I sooooo want to land that crit hit.

The OathBow has a x4 multiplier, and Obscuring Mist would give BBEG concealment resulting in a 50% miss chance for Keliwyn's shot, if I'm correct.

Under the influence of Heather's spell, Keliwyn lets two arrows fly, each resulting in the shout for death being heard again.

1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 1 = 31 Damage 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 1 = 21 Damage 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

confirm crit: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 = 30 Damage 6d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 5, 6, 6, 2) = 24

Wow, Is that right? For a x4 crit multiplier, I roll 2d6 a total of 4 times? Damn, that's nice. Now if it just got through the concealment . . . .

Keliwyn nocks another arrow and as he pulls the string, the shout, "Gurth na nin goth!" is heard again.

Attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 Damage 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10

Let's put Keliwyn in E5 for round one, then moving up to G5, if that works for you.

Will Save 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 1 = 21 Am I missing any bonuses other than Istas' resistance?

edit: Boo Yah! Not needed!

Keliwyn hears the command to halt, and feels its pull, but easily dismisses it. He nocks another arrow and yells, "Lady Andaisin, you will die this day by my hand!" and as he pulls the string, the shout, "Gurth na nin goth!*" is heard throughout the chamber before he let's fly with the arrow.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 Damage 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10

*"Death to my enemies!" to those who speak elvish.

Thanks for getting that attack in for me . . . I think.

I see. Kel's will save 1d20+4

Keliwyn staggers but seems to shrug off much of the affliction.

15 point damage, correct? Haste still in effect?

Wounded but angry, Keliwyn continue to lash out.

Attack 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 16 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Attack 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 13 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Grim faced, Keliwyn lashes out again and again.

Attack 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 19 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Attack 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 29 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Confirm Crit 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 26 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Confirm Crit 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 = 26 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Seeing an opportunity to attack the second daemon, Keliwyn lashes out in a blur of steel.

Attack 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 = 30 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Attack 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 23 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Keliwyn sees that the cultist dropped the cords, and deciding that the daemon is now the bigger threat, he turns his attention and his blade toward it.

Attack 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 23 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 Sneak Attack Damage 3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2) = 11

On second thought, Keliwyn will get in his attack from where he is, and then will slip past Emerion and go after the cultist.

Keliwyn would have thrown the bag in the corner of the room if he could reach it, but if he can only get the cord, he'll let it drop.

Keliwyn shifts toward Istas, and seeing a chance to strike while the creature is still getting to its fight, Keliwyn lunges, hoping to drive his rapier deep.

AoOAttack 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 = 22 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 Sneak Attack Damage 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) = 7

Kel will try to get around to Istas' position so he can flank with Emerion so they both get the extra damage. What's the damage reduction on this thing? DR/10?

Keliwyn slips between the two vats on the north side of the room move to F7, cutting away the bags that are tied to those vats.
