Maedhros Fingolson's page

Sorry guys, I am going to have to bail. I love the game concept and the character (although I think I made some mistakes in my build), but I have over committed on games. I dived into this when another game ended and didn't reassess my RL commitments. Good luck and have fun.

Ears twitching, Maedhros places his hand on Lanariel's, gently holding the door closed whilst he listens.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

" That's ok Malgrim, it was my own fault, I wasn't good enough! I don't remember much from the end though. I have no wish for the sword, besides I did not earn it. "

Maedhros eats and drinks sparingly, his disappointment at failing clear on his face.

The following day, Maedhros takes 2 potions of Cure light wounds and one of Enlarge person to replace those taken from his body.

" I agree, normally I could slip over the wall and get in more secretly, but the patrols are too irregular to guarantee my success. Does anyone have a silver tongue?"

Looking for answers, Maedhros searches the halls for the old man, forgemaster or alchemist.

Natural Wpn style:- Wpn Focus Claws

Enemy hits= 4/11
Damage dealt= 74
Damage taken= 37

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The blow pushes Maedhros back towards the edge of death, and his body is unable to take the abuse it has taken. He expires quietly, waking up in the halls.

"What happened? I have some fuzzy dreamlike memories, but they are already fading."

Nice roll, thanks.

As the potion trickles into his mouth, Maedhros visibly improves, as some of his wounds begin to heal and his colour returns.

Stabilises,now at -3hp

Stabilisation: 1d20 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 10 = 2

-11hp dies next turn

Maedhros weakens quickly, his breath barely visible, his skin pale and his lips turning blue.

stabilisation: 1d20 + 1 - 9 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 9 = 0

-10hp

Maedhros fades rapidly

Better remove those hp and roll both rounds of stabilisation then.
Stabilisation last round: 1d20 + 1 - 7 ⇒ (9) + 1 - 7 = 3
-8hp
Stabilisation this round: 1d20 + 1 - 8 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 8 = 4

-9hp

Maedhros continues to bleed out, his skin going pale.

Under Malgrim's care, Maedhros stabilises and the bleeding stops.

Stabilisation check: 1d20 + 1 - 6 ⇒ (9) + 1 - 6 = 4

Maedhros continues to bleed out on the floor, unconcious.
-7HP now.

Stabilisation check:: 1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 1 - 5 = 8
Maedhros continues to bleed out on the floor, unconcious and unable to prevent the looting.

Thanks

"You really think we will surrender to you! Ha ha!"
Laughing in the face of his enemies, Maedhros swings again and lands another crushing blow, this time to the bandit trying to flank him. The one in combat but furthest from Oranna.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Dmg: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2) + 6 = 14

Apologies, before I post, I made my favoured enemy animal, which should give me a +2 to hit and dmg. Hopefully that is enough to hit or I am disabled!

Hits= 7/15
Enemy hits= 3/10

Combat manoeuvres =0/2

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3, 1) + 6 = 12

More comfortable with the closer range, Maedhros lands a solid hit on the bandit facing him.

Damage taken= 18

Wasn't planning to as I now have a 10ft reach, but let's see what we can do :)

Seeing Lanarial getting badly beaten by the dogs, Maedhros steps back (moved on map) and swings his large hammer at the bandit facing Oranna. "Get behind me little one"

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Dmg: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) + 3 = 15

However still unused to his large size his hammer misses badly.

I'm running out of ways to say I missed!

Previously in response to Lanarial's comment, Maedhros just shrugs his shoulders and prepares for battle.

In response to the Forgemaster's comment, Maedhros drains the potion as he leaves the door. He quickly swells in size his arms growing stronger and longer, even his hammer becoming larger. Moving past Oranna, Maedhros lumbers forward daring a feral warcry on his lips and his Earthbreaker beginning to move in easy circles. Move to G27

Securing his Guisarme, Maedhros removes his necklace of Theris and throws it into the middle of the group.
" I don't need this, I needed help and I got nothing. I feel Gerund helped me survive."

With that said he removes an amulet from his wrist, hanging it round his neck instead. With that he draws his Earthbreaker and an enlarge person potion.

"Yes what she said, how close are we to the camp"

"..and for that I will take one potion to heal me and two to enlarge me."

Sorry i said it in character. 1CLW and 2 Enlarge person.

"Understood, i thought I would ask. "

"Of course, I still have much to prove and learn."
Turning to the Forgemaster he asks.
"I made my choice of this breastplate, because i was fighting alone and expected to fight in passageways. I can help the hostages and the group better if I can move quietly as well. Could i swap it for the lighter armour? Or is that decision made"

His wounds sealing up Maedhros moves more easily and collects his polearm. His general ineffectiveness in combat has left him with doubt in his mind and he voices this to the old man.
"Why do you believe in me? what have I done for you to believe that I will do? my fellow combatants have all felled their opponents even if it is at heavy cost. Mine still stood and I struggled to break its defences. I seek to learn and to improve myself, but at what point is that not enough? I will try to be better in the next fight and for that I will take one potion to heal me and two to enlarge me."

Hits= 6/15
Enemy hits= 2/9
Damage dealt= 34
Damage taken= 15
Combat manoeuvres =0/2

Attack R claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Attack L claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

His right claw swings high and is blocked, but that makes an opening for Maedhros to stab his left hand claws into the bugbear, but he struggles to pierce the beast's armour.

Finally I hit, but for minimal dmg!

Hits= 5/13
Enemy hits= 2/9
Damage dealt= 30
Damage taken= 15

"Theris guide me!" growls Maedhros before slashing again with his claws, but again his blows are pushed wide by the goblinoid.

Attack R claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Attack L claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Hits= 5/11
Enemy hits= 2/9
Damage dealt= 30
Damage taken= 15
Combat manoeuvres =0/2

Infuriated by his inability to take down the ugly goblinoid, Maedhros drops his guisarme and lashes out with his claws.

"Enough backing up"

Attack R claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Attack L claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

A heavy feint with his left, almost opens up a space for his right, but the bugbear manages to block with his arm at the last minute.

"Irori, what are you teaching me here? Must I be on my knees before I can hurt my enemies?"

Hits= 5/9
Enemy hits= 2/8
Damage dealt= 30
Damage taken= 15
Combat manoeuvres =0/2

Stepping back once more, Maedhros grabs and downs another potion.
L4, 1 potion left
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Hits= 5/9
Enemy hits= 2/8
Damage dealt= 30
Damage taken= 11
Combat manoeuvres =0/2

His irritation building at his missed trip attempt, Maedhros steps back and tries once more.
L5
Trip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Hits= 5/9
Enemy hits= 2/8
Damage dealt= 30
Damage taken= 11
Combat manoeuvres =0/1

Do you want combat manoeuvres listed as hits as well?

Sorry didn't put the grid reference that I moved to last turn, it was L7, this turn L6

Stepping back Maedhros eschews his buckler to be able to bring his guisarme to bear and then tries to trip the brutish goblinoid, but struggles against such a large creature.

Trip attempt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Trapped in the doorway and unable to bring his polearm to bear, Maedhros steps to the side of the ugly brute, fending of his attacks with his buckler and slashing with his claw.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

A feral looking half-elf steps warily through another portal, his claws grasp a guisarme tightly and he carries a large hammer on his back. Blood has recently dried down either side of his body,where his breastplate sections meet, but the wounds appear to have mostly healed. Ignoring the others, he drops into a crouch, guisarme extended and waits for the bugbear to come to him.

Just a marker post. I will wait to see what the bugbear does first (not that i have much choice!)

"I feel this should be a challenge of self. I will not attack, unless attacked.
As a follower of Irori, I have heard many stories about Harold. The man who trained me used to tell me of how he used an improvisation of the Reverse Headscissors to defeat the minotaur. I have an idea of a tactic that I hope he would like."

Wiping the sweat form his face, Maedhros does his best to staunch his wounds before limping over to retrieve his Guisarme. Leaning heavily on it, he follows the old man into the lab.
"Alas I did struggle there and healing is needed. Much though i would like a selection, I will take 3 Cure Light Wounds Grimaldi, as I will need at least one right now."
With that he downs the first potion made.

I am assuming lowest level 1d8+1?

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Seeing his opportunity as the skeleton struggles to control it's long spear, Maedhros steps in close trying to tear apart this last attacker.
Attack R claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attack L claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

And hopefully only one after!

I agree still feel it should be slashing and piercing.

His confidence in his abilities returned, Maedhros pushes his body to step close to the goblin on his right and strike.
Attack R claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Attack L claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Move to E14 and full attack. Before I attack this round there are 2 left correct ?

Just trying to get clarification for the stats you asked us to keep. From your tally i can see both of my attacks hit,but is that only for 3 dmg? Did the goblins have dmg reduction beyond the usual skeleton/bludgeoning thing? Because claws are apparently slashing and bludgeoning, which was one of the reasons i used them.

What just happened? I should be dead!

Pulling himself back from the brink of unconciousness, Maedhros is amazed by the divine favour.
" Thankyou Irori and heroes of this place I will bear these scars as reminders of your guidance when I was not strong enough"
