Kohl Shadd's page

My fellow gamers/adventurers: I hate to have to say this, but I think I’m gonna have to bow out of my PBP games. We all know how real life can rear its ugly head, and I’m just not finding the time to work on my online hobby these days. I can barely keep up with reading posts, let alone posting any actions on my own, and I’d rather not limp along in some half-ass fashion without being able to give the time and energy that these games and our characters deserve. I wish you all the best and thank you for including me in your stories. -Rob

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 another fail...
Kohl starts whipping out the healing spells.
between CSW and Restoration, I should be able to get everyone up and running, especially if we're resting.

sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 = 11 (B/S)
sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 5) + 7 = 18 (B/S)
confirm?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 2) + 7 = 12 (B/S)
Kohl swings his mighty blade again at the strange golem.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 ooo, guessing that's a fail

Hoping Zavier can hang on for a moment, Kohl steps up and slashes at the ooze in front of him.
sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12(bludgeon/slashing)

sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 2) + 7 = 13(bludgeon/slashing)
confirm?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 4) + 7 = 14(bludgeon/slashing)

which map are we on? #1?
Kohl grimaces at the creatures, and at Sid's information. He snorts and casts a spell. casting versatile weapon to allow his sword to count as DR bludgeoning

hey guys, I'll be travelling for the next few days. Apologies. Please bot me as needed.

"What the heck is this place?" Kohl wonders out loud as he looks around. "Some sort of laboratory?" He casts detect magic and looks about the room in curiosity.

"What is this place? A mountain villa? Some sort of monastery perhaps?" Kohl asks as they get closer.

Kohl grins. "I just hope they don't come back to lay traps for others. Although, this is a pretty remote area."

"ROAR!!"

intimidate: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

"Perhaps we can scare the creatures away by throwing some rocks or something in the water." Kohl doubts it, but he hates walking into traps.

Kohl's a little nervous at the whole concept of teleportation but agrees that this is not an ideal location, and would rather not have to fight on such terrain. "Or perhaps you could turn Basher smaller? I had a druid friend who could turn his horse into a small statuette." carry companion spell

20 gold seems fine to me
Kohl smile and nods to the giants. "We never met you. Good day!" With that he starts off across the rest of the bridge. "It may seem an exorbitant amount, guys," he says to the others, "but I'm content that nobody got thrown off that bridge."

I thought stone giants were neutral for some reason
"We simply wish to pass by on our way. The mountains are quite lovely this time of year." He does mean it by the way. The mountains ARE quite lovely if you ignore the drakes and giants.

Sid, are these giants inherently evil? If not, I feel we should go with the chit-chat first. But feel free to sneak behind them, or be ready to confuse them or whatever
If no one in the group seriously opposed it, Kohl will approach the bridge (after a quick casting of enhanced diplomacy). "Hail, bridge guardians. How fare you? We (or I if everyone else wants to turn invisible) wish to cross your bridge. May I proceed in peace?"
diplomacy: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 18 + 1 = 36

"We could also just try talking to them. If they want to push a battle, that's on them. Sid, any idea if they'd be more amenable towards us acting imperious or friendly?"

i.e., I could try either intimidate or diplomacy

"Pretty sure I can get that under control," Kohl says.
csw for Zavier: 3d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 1, 8) + 8 = 19

sword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36 dam: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) + 11 = 19
confirm?: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29 dam: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) + 11 = 18
sword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 dam: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (4, 4, 3) + 11 = 22
Stab, stab dammit

doh!
Kohl casts weapon of awe on his blade.

is it on the ground now? If so...stab!!
sword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23 dam: 3d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 6, 3) + 9 = 23
sword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 dam: 3d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) + 9 = 16
if it isn't on the ground yet, I'll adjust

ahhh, my bad, misunderstood the map. That DOES complicate things.. Damn, those were good damages too :)
Kohl casts a spell calling for an additional blessing on his allies and a curse on his foe. casting prayer= we all get +1 luck bonus on pretty much all rolls and he gets -1, no save

Kohl looks unimpressed at the horn. He drops it as he moves forward (5' step) with his sword to attack the drake.
sword: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 + 2 = 23 dam: 3d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5, 5) + 7 + 2 = 25
sword: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 11 dam: 3d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5, 5) + 7 + 2 = 23

reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Dolgrym, did you get that acid protection up?

Might as well see what this thing can do. Kohl lifts the horn to his lips and gives a long blow.

Kohl casts a few quick spells in preparation and lays a blessing on the group.
casting lead blades, divine favor, and bless

is there a map for where we are? I just want to make sure we aren't clustered too tightly together for any breath weapons. Do we know what kind of damage its breath might do? Do we need a resist energy from Dolgrym?

I agree, Sid should go with the amulet.
Kohl holds up the horn. "Ready when you are."

the amulet and the horn might useful in short order
Kohl picks up the horn. "Heh, this fella might just have a hell of a surprise waiting for him."

AH! I thought they were dead! Is there a way we could start some boulders tumbling down the mountain to crush them below? Or at least distract them for a few moments?

I've got plenty of healing for you Zavier and anyone else who needs it. I've got restoration now, so I should be able to fix negative levels as well, as long as they're temporary negative levels. I can do permanent ones but there's an expensive material component I don't think I would have on me
"Sid, are those drakes or what?" he says pointing at the dragon corpses.

Kohl tries for a few more stabs as the creature blindly flails about. I must remember to thank Sid for this help.
sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 = 15
sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 = 15
crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 5) + 7 = 14
I'm assuming Gallant is helping Dolgrym so I didn't take any flanking bonus

Though his opponent is blind, he's still quite dangerous. Kohl tries to stab him again.
sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 5) + 7 = 17
sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12
well, hopefully his AC has dropped enough that the first one hits

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Kohl swears in Aklo as he lifts his blade to stab the creature that attacked him.
sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 5) + 7 = 16
sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 6) + 7 = 19

will definitely cast a healing spell or 2 on himself. anyone else need anything?
ccw: 4d8 + 8 ⇒ (5, 6, 5, 2) + 8 = 26
clw: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

oof, damn critting giants!
The giant's axe blow nearly splits Kohl in two. Blood goes flying out of the wound.

swift action to cast grace, so no AoO's and charge!
Seeing Zavier grapple the first one, Kohl charges after the second.
sword: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 18 dam: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) + 7 = 14
dammit

Kohl casts lead blades and shield of faith in anticipation of the charge.

yeah Zavier, I gotcha covered for healing
Kohl nods to Sid. Not being particularly sneaky, he'll hang back.

whoa, that rod IS cool
Kohl follows behind Sid, ready to disarm any traps he might see.

With Zavier holding it down, Kohl tries to finish it.
sword PA: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 - 2 = 30 dam: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (3, 3) + 13 = 19
crit?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 dam: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (3, 6) + 13 = 22
damn. well, maybe with it being pinned, it'll confirm...

Kohl drops his bow and mutters a spell as he charges the flytrap.
drop bow as free action, casting grace as a swift action so his movement doesn't provoke AoO's... I totally forgot I had that spell, and charge as fullround where he can draw as free action
sword charge PA: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 29 dam: 2d6 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 + 6 = 19

Growling, Kohl goes for accuracy over power.
bow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 dam: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
bow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 dam: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
"Dammit, hold still!"

"It moves?! Like it actually walks?! Huh?"
Kohl focuses for a moment and fires two more arrows at the plant creature.
longboww/DA: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 2 = 16 dam: 1d8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 4 = 6
longboww/DA: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 2 = 21 dam: 1d8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 4 = 6

finally have access again, so I'll be up when it's my turn

if they're down, Kohl can just cast sun metal, adds 1d4 fire damage for 8 rounds per weapon
Kohl sets his blade alight and walks up to the downed trolls stabbing them repeatedly. "We may have to use that spell again, Sid. That was damn handy."

Kohl manages, but only barely, to hold his laughter in check. "What's the best option for finishing the trolls?" (I'm assuming Sid mentioned that they regenerate- I do have 'sun metal' and some alchemists fires if that helps, but I was thinking of something a little more damaging)

I have to do one more bout of travelling. This will probably be it for a while though. Looks like Tues thru Sunday. Will do my best to check in as I can, but no guarantees. Apologies in advance

"Agreed. Sid, what can you tell us about these foes?"

Kohl grimaces at the remains in the fire. "We'll do our best to avenge you."
also casting a cmw on myself when done with the drake. How's everyone else looking?
cmw: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (7, 6) + 8 = 21
