Leonides's page

Mythweavers is blocked at work, unfortunately.

Chronicle looks fine, and thanks again for running.

When is the next PbP gameday?

Leonides' day job, such as it is, consists of keeping congregations of Arshea in compliance with the rules. Given what that entails, he should really be the one paying, and I am fortunate that it's not tracked that way.

Faction missions are gone. Secondary success criteria, IIRC, were taking lots of notes in the meditation chamber, trying at least one of the meditation exercises, and I'm not sure if there are others.

67750-3, no day job.

CLW on self, 38 charges left: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"I still have a wand, and a few spells."

"Are any of you still hurt?"

"For great justice!" Leonides pronounces judgment on the minotaur and closes with it, setting his shield and swinging his flail to no avail. Judgment of protection; AC currently 20.

Disarm attempt on minotaur: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

In that case....

Instead of casting wrath, Leonides edges carefully across the log. At the end he was about to put his foot on a slick spot, but was saved by divine grace.

Acrobatics check, incl. ACP and guidance: 1d20 + 1 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 3 + 1 = 7

Leonides can't get across in one move, and is sufficiently uncertain of his footing not to want to do it in two stages. Instead, he casts wrath on himself.

Perhaps I should invest in a bow.

ETA: This is my 12,000th post on the boards, and it's an internal monologue. Kind of anticlimactic; I should have tried to arrange it to be an attack on something impressive, like the <REDACTED> we're up against in the Hall of Harsh Reflections. Ah, well.

Leonides casts guidance on himself.

OK.

Leonides double-moves to end up just behind the dwarf.

Sorry, thought this was the round I started to move through the undergrowth. Is it still Round 2?

No, you're right--redid my move.

It was quicker to go around the rough area, since I could only double-move across the rough.

You're right; that's not in the description under Additional Rules/Movement, though, which is why I missed it.

"Oh, she's in it now." Leonides sprints for the log. Running at 4x normal speed, so AC currently 18.

While Selkin channels, Leonides draws a wand and taps the paladin with it.

CLW from wand, 39 charges left: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Leonides delays for Ruin to get out of the way.

Waiting on Ferin.

"Look here--before we leave, let's see what's down this passage."

"Don't split up. What if the minotaur comes back? We'll all go with you."

"I wonder how this foolish necromancer came to meet his end? At the least we can tell Uori what has become of his fellows."

Perception check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

While searching, Leonides taps himself with his wand.

CLW wand, 40 charges remaining: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Selkin, are you really channeling negative energy?

Leonides advances into the room, whirling his flail and preparing to attack.

Leonides jots down a few of his own notes on the room (particularly as regards the still-active magic of the city) before following the dwarf.

Leonides looks at his hands, then casts detect magic to try to figure out what happened.

Spellcraft check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"Put it in the city, Haku! That's what the text said--the Fisherman brings fish to Absalom."

"I suppose we'd need a net, but I don't happen to have one to hand. Any other ideas?"

"Following the parable, we'll all herd the fish towards the pillar, because the lesson was that a great host can accomplish great things together."

Of course, they're storm giant feet, but that's a minor detail, easily overlooked.

"Thank you." Leonides wades into the pool towards the central pillar.

Leonides nods. There might be something interesting about the city sculpture.... "We had heard reports of gillmen coming to this cave, and as Selkin said that would seem to have been explained. How deep is the water around the pillar, Uori? I would like to approach it, if I may, and I don't have your skill in the water."

Leonides approaches the gillman, flail still on his belt, and speaks slowly and clearly. "We are explorers from the surface, Uori. I am called Leonides." He studies Uori, but is sufficiently unfamiliar with gillmen that he can't get a good read on him.

Perception check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Sense Motive check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Once the recording is done, Leonides indicates the wide tunnel. "Let's see what's down there, hm?"

Knowledge (Religion) check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

"Hm...I wonder what wore these carvings away? It's not as though there's weather down here. Perhaps they are just very, very old."

Leonides looks interestedly at the cloak. "Oh, is it magic? Let me see if I can find out what kind--it's certainly fetching enough." He casts detect magic and concentrates on the item.

Spellcraft check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Leonides makes his way carefully along the passage, the ioun torch over his head lighting his path.

Survival check (add 1 if tracking involved): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Leonides tosses a small ball of fire into the air, where it circles his head. He heads into the cave.

Since the dwarf is doing pretty well, Leonides attempts to assist her.

Aid Another on Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

But fails miserably! Good thing I didn't take the lead.

Leonides has Survival +6; where's everyone else?

Since Haku fixed up Leonides completely, he'll use the second wand charge on Faerin.

Leonides produces a wand and taps Faerin with it. If no one cures him during that round, he'll bleed some more and cure himself.

CLW on Faerin from wand, 40 charges remaining: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW on self from wand, 39 charges remaining: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Ah--can you see the map? I can move your character as needed.

Everyone, don't forget that you can move your own tokens on the map. Selkin, don't forget that the inspire courage gives you +1 to hit and to damage.

The inquisitor is unperturbed by the dense cloud of stinging insects, but--recognizing that this is not a good place to be--he retreats from the mosquitoes.

Fort save vs. distraction: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Fort save vs. disease, if necessary: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

sorry guys cant help at all with swarms :(

There should be a monk attack form that affects swarms, preferably using chopsticks.

Once I got back on the boards, Leonides was going to pick up three or four flasks of alchemist's fire. I can skip that, though, as he already has three.

Moving up, the inquisitor draws a flask from his pack and hurls it at the cloud of mosquitoes. It strikes the ground in the midst of the swarm and bursts into flame, splashing burning liquid throughout the attacking insects.

Ranged touch attack on swarm, incl. inspire courage: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 1 = 17
Base damage to swarm, incl. inspire courage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Damage to swarm, incl. +50%: 7 HP

"Kia ora, Haku! It's good to see you again. Not as much sunburn on this mission, I should think." The speaker is a tall, slender fellow with long blond hair tied back with a multicolored scarf. His dented breastplate, obviously well-used flail, and the defined muscles on his arms, however, are mute testimony to his martial experience. "Hmmm...let's get a few sunrods, some rope...oh, and what sorts of things do gillmen like? Always better to talk...or do other peaceful things...than fight, if we don't have to."

That sounds gr--oh, wait.
