Luc Dantés's page

Did we level or not?

Luc also just wants his share of gold, no treasure.

"Glad it's gone. Now, let's go back to the surface and get paid. Bullets are expensive!"

Luc smirks and walks over and picks up the urgrosh and then walks back to his corner. "Since you're not going to kill Kazmojen and I think someone said he was part-troll, just in case he wakes up, need to make sure he does not have his weapon on him."

Luc doesn't see anywhere where he won't get -8 to his shot, so he waits till the party finishes off the half-troll or he clears the board of npcs. Readied action to shoot any other threat who may appear.

Luc 5' steps to K6, tells Darthal to move out of the way, fires his pistol, and then reloads.
If Darthal moves, -4 to roll, if not -8.
Attack vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 4 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

No, GM, tired of being outside this room, so if the acrobatics roll failed, he'll take the AoO and keep moving to attack the hobgoblin, either flanking before Valamont moved to get sneak attack or shooting him in the face.

Frustrated, Luc moves to M8, drawing his short sword in the process, then L8 (no AoO due to cover) then tries to tumble past the hobgoblin into the room, trying to avoid the AoO: Acrobatics check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 vs. Hobgoblin's CMD trying to reach L6 to flank the hobgoblin and then attacks: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (4) = 10
If for some reason, DM rules he can't reach L6, he stops at K7, uses same attack roll +6 (for a total of 20 vs. touch AC) as he shoots hobgoblin in the face with his pistol, doubting the enemy has Combat Reflexes and another AoO in him.
Damage instead: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Round 4:

Acrobatics check to hop up on table vs. DC 10: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 to move to N8 and reload pistol.

A few comments:
1. Unless Prickles the howler regenerates, it should have 5 hps left, not 10. Luc did 15+13= 28 and Fellian did 5 hps (see GM summary of Round 3) for a total of 33.
2. I did not know it was a move action to move 5' north last round so I would have preferred staying in the same spot of N9.
3. Does the entrance into the room along M7-8 provide cover from Hobgoblin and Prickles? On the map, they appear to, just wanted to confirm, because in that case, Luc would not draw an AoO from shooting either of them from M8.
If I am wrong about anything, let me know.

Luc thanks Fellian, loads his pistol again, moves to N8 with a 5' step (if possible) and lets fire another shot with grit at the howler!

Pistol shot vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 4 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + (6) + 1 = 15
AC: 17
HP: 17/17
Grit remaining: 1/3

In that case, Luc does not lose his turn and apply an aditional -4 penalty for cover, which brings total to 16 touch ac to howler.

Found a spot where I can attack if NPC listens!

Luc tells the elf in M9 to step 5' south when he finishes his attack. Then Luc steps to N7, reloads pistol as move action and shoots the howler taking only -4 penalty due to no precise shot and adds 1 point of grit.
Touch attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 4 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + (4) + 1 = 13
Grit points: 2/3 remaining
HP: 17/17
AC: 17

Yeah, the geography of the room is also not helping, with 2 players inside and one 5' wide entrance. We're in trouble here!

I don't see a shot where Luc won't get -8 for cover and not having precise shot so he will wait to go last to see if the party and the npcs can clear the board to get himself a better shot.

Guess we should have explored more so we could be 3rd level instead of 2nd when facing him.

Luc moves to N9 and shoots Hobgoblin #2 (add cover modifiers to his Touch AC).

Touch attack within 20': 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"So what are we doing?", says Luc, as he cleans his gun.

Luc smiles at the elves. "Thank you for your assistance, Luc Dantes at your service." He extends his hand, should the elves shake it. "Pretty sneaky of you to be following us all this time without us knowing, but it was all in good cause, so no harm, no foul. Now what? You going to continue traveling with us?"

Round 6:

Not wanting to waste any more bullets on goblins (they are expensive!), Luc moves to H10, drawing his short sword in the process and stabs at goblin #3, who is flanked by Valamont.
1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (4) = 8
EDIT: Possible critical, confirmation roll: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 2 = 22..confirmed!
Additional damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Total damage: 14!
It's cool to see Luc badass with both gun and sword! :)

Luc cheers Valamont, glad that his shot is able to turn the tide of battle.

Round 5:

Luc looks up in shock that someone actually shot at him and he moves to G8 (5' step), reloads his pistol (move action), as he whirls and shoots hobgoblin #4:
Touch attack within 20': 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 22
Confirmation Touch attack roll: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 19
Damage: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3, 8, 8) + 4 = 24..if that kills the hobgoblin, Luc regains a Grit Point!

Luc uses 1 grit point to fix his gun, takes a 5' step back and fires again at hobgoblin #3:
Touch Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2...got to be kidding me!
Grit: 1/3

Round 2:

Luc steps over to G7 and shoots the hobgoblin in I7, but misses. He curses as his weapon misfires and gains the broken condition.
Touch attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 3

Since your new map does not have coordinates, Luc moves behind Adolphus and shoots the goblin flanked by Darthal and Valamont:
Attack with Point Blank and Grit vs. Touch AC (within 20'): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (6) = 9
Grit points remaining: 2/3

GM, I miscounted the squares but then in that case, Luc would have delayed to let Darthal move in first and then he would have taken a 5' step south (leaving him 4 diagonal squares away from Hobgoblin #1 which is 30'), but it's fine either way.

Luc shoots goblin #1, apply FF AC since further than 20', but apply PB feat and sneak attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (5) = 8

I'm ready, waiting for GM to advance game.

Luc is now 2nd level and he has Perception +9 vs. traps and +10 to disable (more if we find a thieves' kit).

Some of us are 1st level and some 2nd, correct? I was planning on taking a level of rogue at 2nd level, if that helps, unless you guys were thinking of a pure rogue.

Luc checks his gun to make sure it is working.

I am back, aka Luc Theriot, with a change of name.

Perception check to see if his eyes can pick up anything out of place or feel a draft or sense a trap. 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26..add +1 for traps.

Luc listens to the conversation, as he picks up his thrown dagger. He seems more intent on cleaning the stain from his clothing. "I say we leave the zombies alone for now. No need wasting further resources. I say we move along, I would like to see if Ameiko is doing well soon."

Please change Luc's action to the following.

Luc draws and throws his dagger at it with his left hand, upon seeing the hideous creature, while wielding the rapier in his right:
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7...miss!

I'm a little confused. Was the acid spray a trap or some creature's ability? Luc will try to look for its source and if mechanical, will try and disable it.
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14...add +1 for traps
Disable Device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Luc retrieves his thrown dagger and tries to clean the blue ichor off himself with his waterskin.

Luc will coup de grace the creature on the floor.

Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 + (1) = 9; DC 19 Fort Save or die!

Luc will try to flank the creature!

Acrobatics check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
If he gets an attack with flanking:
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (4) = 12 damage
Confirmation roll on possible critical: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Draw and throw another dagger!

Attack:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

I don't see the monsters on your map. Hard to plan combat and figure out flanking (essential for rogue) if I don't know their tactical positions.

With a flick of his wrist, Luc lets fly his dagger, which misses badly!

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3...if within 30', add 1d6 ⇒ 6 sneak attack

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

DM, something you may want to try to speed up gameplay is roll initiative for the group. That way we see the order and you can describe the scene and then let us decide how we react. It is something I do in my PbP, just my 2 cents.

Luc tries not to run in fear and catch it off-guard. If within 30', he tries a partial charge with his rapier. Added sneak attack since I beat its initiative. If not within 30', Luc backs up 20'.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18; Damage: 1d6 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + (4) + 2 = 10

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

"We won't get snuck up on, I'm back here. Just pick a door and open it." Luc has a throwing dagger in one hand and his rapier in the other.

Dean leads us through the Northern door.

Leave the cave and continue going north would be Luc's suggestion from the back.

As Luc bandages his wounds, he looks with disgust at Dean and directs his comments at him: "Really, so it was not evil, then? It presented no danger to the village? Fine! From now on, you go first since you seem to want to study and negotiate with everything down here. And when it starts clawing you.." Luc picks up his dagger and moves to the back of the line.
