Locke "Firebug" Arkham's page

Good day.

Our group of 5 has been playing together for a while, and we have unfortunately lost our regular DM.

We were hoping someone could fill the spot to help our characters reach that level 11. Atm we are lvl 9.1, and held up on 0-27 Our Lady of Silver (Subtier 8-9)

Our old schedule was this:
Our Lady of Silver (current)
Something tier 9 from another season other than 0.
---Level 10---
0-28 Lyrics of Extinction (Subtier 10-11)
---Level 10.1 & 10.2--- [to be determined]

Shall i try tossing another line to fish for a GM?

I'm fine with that.

(refines relaxation potion)

Best wishes & a happy new year!

Merry xmas!

2nd rl is most important.

You do what needs to be done.

Thank you.

I can't seem to find the map for the encounter?

"Try to be stealthy, well there is still the door that has to open.
If there is some kind of ambush, they may well have made sure any entrance makes some sort of sound."

Locke shoots three arrows at the purple lion.

Arrow, haste: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 = 29Dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Arrow, haste: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 = 17Dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Arrow, haste: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10Dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Locke flies up and towards the pit.

20 ft up, 35 towards the pit.

She takes aim at purple, and lets the arrow fly.

Shot: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12Dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Pfff.... XD

Didn't have proper opportunity for checks, so here goes..

Kn. Arcana: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37
Kn. Nature: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
Kn. Planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Locke buys a noble outfit and shinies as well. After all, she and Tereze and Melisande are nobility after the dragon event.
Though she hadn't expected her first noble dress to be of such exotic fashion.

Afterwards, she browses stalls with delicacies and curisities, such as foreign reagents and odd trinkets.

Locke remains silent at the banter, but quietly snickers.

Though after which, she chimes in.
"Getting a new fashionable piece from the local variety, i am up for that."

"Hey Tereze, did i miss anything?", and Locke returns the hug.

Just at Tereze's last comment, Locke arrives.

"Good morning."

"Ah, a new face. Hi, i'm Locke, alchemist."

Inventory updating tonight or tomorrow. Sry for the delay.

I'll update my character over the weekend, slipped my mind and time flies. ^^'

Best of health to you, take care of yourself.

Looks ok to me.

Thanks again for running. :)

Either date is good.

Craft alchemy, crafter's fortune: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 39

Locke lands back on the ground and joins Tereze with applying 1st aid where needed.

Take 10 for 15 of the 1st aid DC.

The head of a very lucky shot/throw spear sticking in her arm, Locke painfully pushes it out.

As blood falls down, she focuses and the wound knits itself whole again.

Spontaneous healing 5 HP.

She flies closer to the action, then aims her bow at the one attacking her.

Arrow, haste, PBS: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 1 + 1 = 32Dmg, PBS, fire payload: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 + (4, 1, 4, 2) + 5 = 26

All enemies within 10ft radius can roll DC 20 reflex vs 9 fire splash. If it hits, the taer is set on fire.

Locke flies eastward for a clearer shot against orange.

Arrow, haste: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 = 27Dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Reflex vs 10ft radius splash for the nearby taers? :)

GM, the haste buff ups my AC to 21.
In relation to the other attacks, i am 20ft away 2D, but i am also flying at 30ft altitude. That's about 35 feet or so from the nearest taer on the ground. Short spears had a range of 20ft, i think? That distance would well make their attacks miss due to increments, right?

Locke attaches another fire payload and fires at the copper brown taer at the door.

Arrow, haste: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 1 = 32Dmg, fire payload: 1d8 + 1 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 1 + (2, 1, 4, 2) + 5 = 23

All surrounding taer in 10ft get a reflex vs 9 fire splash.
If it hits, the taer is set on fire.

Locke then flies a further 15 feet upwards.

Crit???: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 1 = 25Extra dmg: 2d8 + 2 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (7, 6) + 2 + (4) + 5 = 24

Locke flies upwards 25ft, and towards the fighting another 35ft.

With the group of beastmen below, she attaches a payload to her arrow, and shoots at the teal tear, catching all taer within 10 feet in the fire blast, but excluding the friendlies.

Arrow, PBS: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 = 17Dmg, PBS, fire payload: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + (1, 3, 3, 4) + 5 = 20

Reflex DC 19 vs 1/2 splash damage of 9 fire damage. If hit, the taer is set on fire.

Loot their items, of course.

Locke searches the fallen enemies for anything of worth to the group.

Oh, moving!

That certainly will be a busy and exciting time.
Best of luck with the endeavor.

"Enough running!", Locke calls out as she comes flying around the tower, aiming her bow at the caster as she lands sw of Tereze.

Arrow, PBS: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31Dmg, fire payload: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + (2, 5, 1, 5) + 5 = 26 and shoots.

Locke flies around the tower, keeping an eye on the spellcaster and she flies directly above her, maintaining 30ft altitude. Again readying an action to shoot at her.

Readied shot: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 Dmg, PBS, fire payload: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 + (6, 3, 2, 5) + 5 = 28

I've moved you Dru. :)

Spellcraft?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 No clue.

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
GM reroll for that. 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 3 = 26

Only at the last moment, does Locke know she'd be in for something.
Her eyesight started to get woozy a moment, but by some chance of luck, she staved it off.

Determined, she flies up to a clearer view of the battlefield, little more towards the center.

30ft altitude.
She readies another payload arrow for the woman who was just casting a spell against her.

The next hostile action the woman takes, the arrow gets to fly.

Readied shot, PBS: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26Dmg, PBS, fire payload: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + (5, 2, 5, 5) + 5 = 27

Purely curiosity, but does the sled obstruct flying a mere 5ft upwards?
If it somehow does and i must go 10ft up, my wings give me a fly speed, allowing me a 5ft step flight.
Surprise round: 5ft down to drop Tereze, current planning as above?

Reflex to grab Tereze: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

I believe i was with Tereze on the sled.

When the sled seems to go out of control, Locke grabs Tereze by her arms, and flies up 5ft, to let the sled go underneath them, attempting to avoid the crash and fall.

Letting go of her afterwards.

Current time....

Flying active, Locke readies a payloaded arrow, ready to shoot at the first enemy musher to come close enough for a shot to hit.

Special charge arrow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 Dmg, fire payload: 1d8 + 1 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 1 + (5, 2, 1, 2) + 5 = 21

Add +1 to hit & damage if the shot is done within 30ft.

On a hit, the target is set on fire. DC 19 reflex vs 1/2 of 4d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 4) + 6 = 19 splash damage.

Thank you. :) It's unlikely in chance, but i'm going to try something when it resurfaces.
A question about the eggs, do they count as creatures in any sense, or objects with hardness?

Locke directs the swarm towards near the eggs' area.

Maybe it will draw attention when it resurfaces.

GM, would Melisande or myself know if the beast understands any specific language?

With the beast underground, Locke draws an extract and flies to behind Drusilla, drops it to the ground, and resumes taking to the sky.

"It will protect you from fire, should it decide to eat you."

Hmm.....i very much doubt fire works against a living furnace.
And hesitant about cold, after all, this is an icy environment.

Locke drinks an extract. No sooner than dropping the vial after drinking, she starts puking up a swarm of killer wasps. With teary eyes from the puking, she utters one word. "Attack."

The swarm then descend upon the remorhaz.

Swarming damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

2 fort saves, vs Distraction & Poison, both fort DC 13.
Poison (Ex)
Swarm—injury; save Fort DC 13; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1 Dexterity damage; cure 1 save. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Thank you. :)

It is one of the best discoveries.

GM, i'd like to reply to wings supposedly requiring a standard action to activate.

"Extraordinary Abilities (Ex): Using an extraordinary ability is usually not an action because most extraordinary abilities automatically happen in a reactive fashion. Those extraordinary abilities that are actions are usually standard actions that cannot be disrupted, do not require concentration, and do not provoke attacks of opportunity."

"Wings (Ex): The alchemist gains bat-like, bird-like, or insect-like functional wings, allowing him to fly as the fly spell for a number of minutes per day equal to his caster level. These minutes do not need to be consecutive, but they must be spent in 1-minute increments."

The discovery says i can use my new body parts to fly as the spell, the spell describing the specifics of what flight would entice.
The discovery though makes no mention that these new parts of my body need a standard action to do so.

Thread about action to start flying with wings discovery
The 2nd post answers it.

Do you have constant fly Locke?

Benefit: The alchemist gains bat-like, bird-like, or insect-like functional wings, allowing him to fly as the fly spell for a number of minutes per day equal to his caster level. These minutes do not need to be consecutive, but they must be spent in 1-minute increments.

This is my 2nd activated minute of flight today.

*quaking happening*

"No good at all, it must be the beast, the Remorhaz mommy.", she exclaims with haste.

Locke wastes no time taking to the sky.
Fly 60ft up.

"Be wary, it can swallow things the size of a dire bear with ease."

Realizing she's heard of this sort of thing before, after some careful going over options she's read and heard, Locke is almost immediate to respond to Spackle's comment.

"A wee painful is a serious understatement. That just now, was an ancient death curse, a curse to outright kill the first to defile the grave site. I can not say the elemental will be all safe and well when it returns to its native plain, though."

The sudden lightburst was a surprise most unexpected.

Indeed GM, good thing it was the elemental. >_>

"That did not sound well at all."
Kn. Arcana?: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

Int: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

"Looking at it more clearly, i think this is a burial site. Some digging may well be involved."

Locke is still wary of the potential presence of a huge beast. She had had her fill of being chewed on, the previous time being a frigging dragon.

"Erhm....people? We eh, we should be very careful here.
Those eggs, they belong to a huge magical beast called a Remorhaz. It is like a giant living furnace that can dig under the ground, and can sense anything moving about within an area around it."

Knowledge nature?: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
