Logan Tanessen's page

"It does sound exciting doesn't it." replied Logan, "But something tells me there will be danger too..."

Marvelling at this gift, Logan says "Thank you Zorumar, it was our pleasure to free you!"

Turning to the others he said, "Well how about that! With this we could make quite the entrance in the masquerade..."

I could do with increasing Logan's AC, not sure if that's going to be possible though the gap from +2 to +3 armour or +1 to +2 amulet is probably too big.

We should figure out who would benefit the most from that ring of protection +3, I assume it's an upgrade for all of us.

Not sure if Jack is still with us so I went with Intensified Spell and Improved Initiative from the rebellion rank. Added +2 on most skills.

I picked 4 new spells from leveling up twice:

Lvl 1: Devian's parry, True Skill
Lvl 2: Visualization of the Body
Lvl 3: Vampiric Touch

Jack do you want to try the outflank thing like Miri suggested?

If not no problem, I'll probably pick up Intensified Spell instead.

HP: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 7) = 11

Have updated Logan in HeroLab, but still need to choose a feat. Will give a level up summary tomorrow. I'm tired tonight.

Outflank could be good, Jack what do you think?

Watching the destruction from a safe distance, Logan remarked, "Now that's something to write home about! Speaking of which, perhaps we should head back to Kintargo."

With the devil nauseated, it can't take a AOO.

Noting Miri's spell take hold, Logan casts one of his own. With a syllabant word of command, his blade suddenly crawled with lightnings and he thrust twice at the devil!

Spell combat to cast shocking grasp.
Caster level check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Power Attack, spell combat: 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 2 - 2 + 3 = 16Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 = 14 I assume that is a miss.

Power Attack, spell combat: 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 2 - 2 + 3 = 28Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 = 11Shocking grasp: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 1, 2) = 11
Crit?: 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 2 - 2 + 3 = 23Crit Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 = 13Shocking grasp: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 5, 2) = 19

Once again, blending spell casting with swordplay, Logan spat out a cantrip and attempted to carve an L onto the devil.
Concentration: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Caster level check vs SR: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Move action close to the devil. Standard action spell strike
He followed this up with a powerful thrust!
Power Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 2 = 28Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 = 11
Crit?: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 2 = 20Crit Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 = 13

That topped Logan back up to full, thanks Bicks.

Been waiting for Logan's turn. Guess I'll post a reaction to the challenge.

Logan bristled at the insolent tone but after Miri spoke he laughed and with a feral grin he loosened the sword in his scabbard.

Guess I've been waiting for Jack to post, but it's been a while.
Noting Jack hesitate, Logan muttered, "Let's get this over with." and he pushed past and tried to open the door.

Logan quickly heads towards the office, hot on Miri's heels.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Logan's eyes narrow as the Erinyes disappears on the wings of a spell. He nodded to Miri, "Yes but we should be quick about it."

OH! Yeah I forgot haste and inspiring courage too. So likewise Logan's rolls are +3 to hit and +2 to damage. That might be enough to confirm his crit.

Hasted attack: Rapier +3, Power Attack, Spell Combat, Inspire, Haste: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 - 2 + 3 = 23Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 19

Blending arcane might and sword play, Logan enchanted his rapier with a though which glowed with a gentle blue radiance.

Swift action: Use his last arcane pool point to enchant his blade with an extra +2 making it +3

Keenly aware of his close proximity to a devil, he stammered out a cantrip and he attempted to carve a stylized L into the Erinyes's flank!
Cast defensively DC 15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Cast brand DC 14 fort to negate.

Caster level check vs SR: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Just managing to hold the spell together by the skin of his teeth, he unleashed a blistering flurry of strikes!
Full attack, with spell combat and spell stike.
Rapier +3, Power Attack, Spell Combat - extra attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 - 2 = 23Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 = 12
Rapier +3, Power Attack, Spell Combat - primary attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 - 2 = 26Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13
Crit?: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 2 = 20Crit Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13
Rapier +3, Power Attack, Spell Combat - iterative attack: 1d20 + 8 - 5 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 5 - 2 = 16Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13

Been a while since we had a combat, hope I got all that right.

Yeah unfortunately you can only take a standard action or move action in a surprise round.
After the deafening roar of Canacha's gun, Logan burst into the room, hoping to catch the Erinyes in a flank.

Sounds good to me. I'm ready to go by the way :)

Noting Bick's scroll, Logan asks "What are you going to use that on? Maybe Jack's weapon?"

"I'm afraid it has to be holy..." replied Logan.

Once they were ready to go inside, Logan quickly cast a shield spell invoking a wedge like construct of pure force which whipped this way and that, ready to interpose itself from any threat.

Moving away from the door a little to avoid the risk of being overheard, Logan asks in a whisper "Are any of you able to bless weaponry? Erinyes are resistant to normal weapons."

Logan consults his notes on planer entities and considers whether they need to take any special precautions before taking it on.

Kn: Planes: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Logan suggested, "There's a room we didn't investigate, on the upper level across the corridor from Thrune's room. Shall we check it out?"

Assuming everyone agrees.

Logan hurried up there and he cautiously listened at the door before trying to open it.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

"Oh so you want to clear the rest of the keep?" Logan asked Miri, "Well I suppose we'd better get busy."

Would like to avoid wasting his mirror image spell if possible :)

Oh I think I probably missed "our rebellion rank has increased and you get a free skill point to add to any skill you like and a bonus feat from one of the following: Great Fortitude, Iron Will, or Lightning Reflexes."

From that list I'll add Iron Will and put a point in linguistics.

Diplomacy aid another: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Logan far from the most polished of speakers, but what he said was heartfelt, "They speak the truth. Cheliax has fallen under the sway of Asmodeus and even now forces aligned with the hells are marshalling to stamp out the spark of resistance in Kintargo. If this fortress falls, then that will buy much needed time for those who love freedom and honour to organize and be ready to fight for freedom."

Logan shrugged his co-conspirators were uninterested in looting the fort, aiming squarely instead to destroy it.

Sounding resigned he replied, "All right I guess we'd better get on with it."

As a precaution Logan re-cast his Mirror Image spell, and suddenly there were six Logans moving and shifting about in a way that made it very hard to see which was the real one.

Mirror Images: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Logan glances around at his fellow conspirators and asks, "Do we want to explore this place? I'm worried we might accidentally collapse the fort and any resources it might have would be lost to the resistance."

TBH Logan's player doesn't mind what we do here, I hope we can keep posting momentum up.

Noting what she was doing, Logan said, "Not sure if that's going to work Miri. I mean it might which sure would be handy, but there's a possibility we're going to need a real Torag Holy Symbol..."

And yes we want to disengage.

Kn: Arcarna: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
Kn: Arcarna: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Logan replied, "Yeah! I think you're right Miri, we're not prepare for these, way too tough! They can haste themselves and self repair... On the bright side, they're faith bound to some god, so if we know which one and openly wear their holy symbol they will not attack."

With that Logan started backing away.

Total defense.

"Ohh here we go..." muttered Logan before casting a defensive spell and moving to engage the closest statue.

Logan might still have 6 mirror images up, since that spell lasts 7 mins at this level. If he does he'll cast Shield here, otherwise he'll cast mirror images again.

With a thought Logan sent a trickle of power to his blade, causing it to glow softly. Using 1 Arcane Pool point to imbue the blade with +2 enhancement.

He made an experimental jab, to test the thing's defences.
Standard attack with spell combat, power attack & +2 enhancement: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 2 + 2 - 2 = 19Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + 4 = 12

It's been ages, I think he can do that with spell combat.

Nobody else have an opinion?

Logan shrugged as he whispered in reply, "I guess I'd forgotten how destructive this might be. If there's anything in particular we need, like the payroll, perhaps we should get it?"

"We could... But we're right here and the Erinyes isn't." pointed out Logan. I don't really have a strong opinion either way.

Tie up CMB: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Logan disarms and ties the soldiers up, he wasn't quite as harsh this time not cutting the blood flow off. He hoped he wouldn't regret it.

"Well then," he said "We've had a tip off that something is irregular with the stonework in this here room. Time for an inspection!"

With that he sets about trying to find a hidden door.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Ok maybe not.

As the guards get to work, Logan gives Mirabella a pointed look since he's uncertain what to do with them after.

Logan cringes inwardly, hating how easily aristocratic presumption and hubris comes to him. Puffing himself up and looking down his nose at them as he adopts a commanding tone, "Oi! You! Yes all three of you. I require your assistance, by imperial command we are performing a survey of the stonework and there things inside this here armoury that are in the way. You will move them for us."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

Casting Egorian Diplomacy that's a DC 15 will to make them forget his intimidation.

Hey folks are we all still here? :)

Once the others had followed him down the stairs, Logan opened the door as quietly as he could and walked over to the room containing the secret passage. His intent if they encountered any soldiers was to pretend they were still here on official business...

Logan gingerly walks down the stairs and listens at the door below, and if everything seems quiet he'll try to open it.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Logan made sure the door was closed and replied in a whisper (so that the guards in the other room couldn't hear), "Thank you, Zorumar. The Lucky Bones in Kintargo."

Turning to the others he suggested, "Lets try this secret door? That could lead to what we're looking for."

Assuming everyone agrees.
Logan quickly moves to the top of the spiral staircase and listens, just in case he can hear anything from downstairs.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Not going to hear much with that sort of roll I expect.

Not sure I follow...

Logan didn't want to spend long here, but he quickly hummed a seeking mantra in case there was any magic present.

Casting detect magic.

Logan helped tie the men up, he was rather rougher with them than Canacher was, tying them tightly indeed. He was certain the men wouldn't appreciate this, but it was far better than just killing them.

Str check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

"I think for now we shall have to tie this lot up." remarked Logan, "Of course if they resist... Well I imagine things will go poorly for them."

Logan didn't like killing, but they didn't need to know that.

Not sure mechanically what the best way of tying somebody up is, perhaps. Maybe it's not interesting and can be handwaved?

After the men had been suitably restrained, Logan suggested, "I think the Kitchen first?"

Logan's sword was drawn with miniature lightnings crawling it's length. He underscored Miri's words with a direct threat, "I'll be more than happy to run you through, if you don't!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

GM how much in game time has passed since we killed Thrune?

Miri suggested 'So, lets go through the door opposite this room and make our way back to the kitchen'. I think that means going west into the red room?

Assuming Jack finds nothing.
Logan nods at Jack and gingerly opens the door and steps through! He then strains to hear if anything is coming.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
