Kellic Runefist's page

Hello everyone,

I wanted to post up a web series that we've been working on for the past year. The first two episodes are posted and we will be posting the rest up regularly over the summer.

I'm a long time gamer (have even been published in Dragon mag a couple of times) and drew heavily from this when writing the series. Its got elements of lovecraft, steampunk and fantasy horror/suspense.

I hope you enjoy it and want to share it around. If you have any questions, let me know... and I'd love to hear your feedback!

Trailer.

Episode 1.

Episode 2.

Thanks!

Been waiting on loot and details

On my turn I'll flurry!

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 to hit for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 damage

And

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 to hit for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 damage

And I'll stunning fist my 1st attack so that he'll be stunned till my next turn DC15 to save

Well that was a whole bucket of suck, so I then 5' step to k6

I move to j6

i enter the room with a readied action to attack anything that moves in the water.

yes I still want to open that door...

*Kellic whispers to Vulgar*

I don't trust this new guy... How is it that they took him prisoner but tried to kill us? He may be a plant... Keep a sharp eye on that one!

*kellic opens the door*

Listen at the H7 door

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 perception

*Kellic searches room 11 for secret doors*

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 perception

There is also the room behind us if I'm not mistaken...

*Kellic takes the torture ax and looks it over*

Aaahhh... just like the one mother gave to me on my sixth birthday... but that was lost when... no time to dwell on the past, focus!

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Is the dog still there?

Rd 3: flurry again

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 for1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11dam
And

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 for1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11dam

Kellic flurries

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18to hit for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 damage on the door with my right hand

And

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13to hit for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 damage on the door with my left

*Kellic doesn't hesitate to do a running jump kick to bash the door down*

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Dam it! This thing is solid! Hack it apart!!!

*Kellic keeps a look on our six, just in case something or someone was trying to distract us*

Perception = 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Looks good

Byron and Vulgar, you two flank the door and Pixie and I will block whatever comes thru!

said in a whisper not a shout and then I move to be one square back from the door that the noise came from... so that whatever is coming thru can step into the room.

And if I can, I ready an attack for whatever comes thru

No, I moved to e9 not d9 so that Byron could still move into flank

I flurry again.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 to hit, for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 damage
and
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 to hit, for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 damage

I'll move to e9 and attack

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 to hit for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 damage

[occ] okay, wtf!!!! I agree with Byron, this roller is broken![/occ]

*Kellic launches into a flurry of fist and foot!*

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 to hit for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 damage
and
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 to hit for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 damage

the flank will null the -2 for stink

After the surprise round I move into G8 and attack!

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 to hit for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 damage

if I have to make a stink save its: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 fort save

Just to take a look with Byron...

Whispers on the count of three, Vulgar you charge... 1... 2... THREE!!!

*Kellic kicks the door open and launches a shuriken at the closest Trog*

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 to hit for 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4damage

Well seeing how well smash worked in the past, I vote stealth...

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 stealth once Byron opens the door.

Sorry guys... was playing Skyrim and then had the family over for New Years eve movie-a-thon...

*Kellic joins Vulgar in the pursuit*

If there had been a chance I would have suggested using the wand of healing on the half ogre so that we had him in the fight with us... any chance of that?

Yeah, or tell me to stop being such a prick when you see me in real life and I'll realize that I'm being stupid and the sarcasm is too much...

So once again the DM completely ignores my post...

Then what the hell was moving on the ceiling? When I walk into a room and there is a dead guy and the ceiling is moving, the ceiling gets a shuriken in the face!!!

*Kellic looks down the rope to see what this guy was climbing away from*

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 perception

*Kellic pays little attention to the man on the floor and keeps his eye on what he thinks is a huge bat on the roof! He fires his skiriken at it.*

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 to hit for 1d2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 damage

That's not that jackass who attacked us earlier is it? If it is, Pixie, make you self useful and cut his throat!!!

If you get the chance, can you update the map to show this? I'm not picturing where we can go...

Sorry... I was trying to do something and Pixie is out of town... yes he can have it if its on his list.

I do a thorough search of the area unless the others want to move out right away.

take 20 which gives a 28 on perception.

Alright you lucky bastards, gather round while I try to figure this thing out

*Kellic takes the wand of cure light wounds and plays around with it, tapping Byron on the head as he does so*

Use magic device 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 healing

Dam it! Hold on, I think I've got it now...

Use magic device 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 healing

the DC to use the wand is 20

Ahh! There we go... anyone else need healing? Vulgar? Let me try this thing on myself... since those dam skeletons seemed to be holding a grudge against me for some reason. It was almost like they had it set in their minds that all doors should be opened quietly and kicking down a door and gaining surprise was so far beyond them that they felt a need to punish me for their own lack of creative thinking... but that couldn't be true... could it? Anyway, if the stealth thing is the way you all prefer to go, then I can do that too.

*Looks down at the fancy new weapons his friends have*

It seems to be working out well enough for you! Now let see if I can heal myself a bit...

Use magic device 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 healing on Kellic

Alright, just settle down DM! There is no reason to go quoting the rules... Read my character description... I don't play by the rules!

I would like the amulet, but if others want it I'm good too

*Hands Vulgar the gems he had taken from Byron*

That`s twice now that DM ineptitude has robbed me of glory! I`ll remember this on weds...

did I find anything with the perception check? Or were you waiting for Byron to look before giving out any info?

At the very least they would have only gotten one attack each as I dove past them...

*Kellic searches the room, ready to be knocked back down any moment*

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 Perception

Why didn't I get a surprise round attack? That's why I said I dove in an readied an action!

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 to hit for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 damage

which, if my math is correct, means that I would have killed the first skeleton and possibly not gone down?

*Kellic does a dive roll into the room and comes up in a readied crouch next to the two bodies.*

If anything moves I attack!

Otherwise I search the bodies.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 perception

*Kellic lands like a cat and springs again at the door, this time noting that its a pull door and not a push, and pulling it open*

Never give up! Never surrender!

There is no way, with a 19 Dex, monk training and maxed acrobatics that a 10 on a strength check would result in being flung backwards... do you even know how physics work? At most he came to an abrupt stop. Now come on DM, start putting some real effort into this!

*Kellic leans in close to the door and his eyes squint with concentration*

I can't hear anything, but there is something... a presence I have not felt since...

There are undead on the other side!!! Cry HAVOK!!!

*Kellic kicks open the door and moves to engage the first thing he sees*

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Strength to kick open the door.

Kellic gains the ability to detect undead!

yep... though it might be a strength check... in that case:

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Take that you stinking piece of wood!!!

*Kellic does a running drop kick on the door!*

1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 damage

no I was going by the initiative order...

WTF? So I guess we just skip me and give all the glory to the dwarf? Let me guess, the room has another magical axe in it?

*Kellic retires and goes home*

On my turn I 5' step to i6 and let loose a flurry!

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 to hit for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 damage
and
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 to hit for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 damage

Yeah okay I forgot the half move thing. i7 works.

Byron! Move to his left so we can flank him!

I'll 5' step to i6 next round.

Kellic will tumble to 5H and attack

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 acrobatics to avoid the AoO

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 to hit

1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 damage

Son of a..! That dam thing is fast... But worse is the fact that while we were sitting there watching the elf play with a rock, that man was dying! Oh the humanity! Why were these men joined at the hip?

As you enter the room a small reptilian creature bounds out from under one of the shelves. He rushes at Byron and as he does so you notice a shock of electric energy jump from one of the horns on his head to the other.

Byron, we will need a reflex save. Now the description in the book says it is "constitution" based. So I suspect that means you swap your dex bonus out for your con bonus? At any rate, the dc for that roll will be 12 for half damage otherwise you will take 1d8 damage.

Map Link

Lol, sorry but I will need to fix the map later. Right now you will have to suffice with a blue X for the lizard.

No, the con based thing is so that you know the dc save is basednon it's con. If we drain it's con the dc goes down. :)

*Kellic wakes up from his nap, having dozed off while the rest of the group stood around watching the elf play with the floor for an HOUR!*

Now can we check the other room?

I wonder what the elf has over the others that they remain so close to him at all times? They are like new born pups, afraid to stray too far from their mothers teet... But i do not think it is cowardess, for the dwarf bravely charges into battle. It is as if some strange other worldly power has control over them, making them think that being apart will do them harm. And while i agree that we need to stay together because enamies could be close, they will not even open two doors at the same time, even when all are still within sight and ear shot. I wonder if they are like this in town? Do they share a room at the inn? A bed? Or perhaps that is it... Could it be..? I shall have to keep a close watch on these ones.

Perception to check out the room before entering it. That water might be a trap?

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

*Kellic shakes his head in disgust and goins up with the group, making sure not to step in the urine that each of his party members got on the floor when they collectively wet their pants at the idea of being more than ten feet apart*

Metagame much?

Hey! If you two are done playing around over there, come check this out!

*Kellic watches as Pixie sneaks in tom take a look. He also takes out a torch for light*
