Mella Gbadu's page

Mella heads toward the window.

"Perhaps something behind the door will help mitigate our impending failure?"

Powerattack longsword: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 11

Mella wisely decides to flank with a conscious opponent this time, stepping in behind Bo'alo and giving her mighty swing!

Powerattack longsword: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 8

Confirm Powerattack longsword: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 13

Mella moves into position to try and smash what's left of the chair!

5' step, 1e to flank with Anaduno, power attack.

Powerattack longsword: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10

Mella hulks out and tries to break the grapple. "Release me mindless thing!" The irony of her screaming at a mindless automation clearly lost on her.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 Additional +1 from inspire courage?

hp 10/18

Mella moves into action, drawing her longsword and moving to flank with Lila. 1 N, 1 NE

Power attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 = 26

Confirm Power attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 21

Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Confirm Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Quickly closing the door again, her cheeks burning "Nothing. Nothing in there."

Still waiting to open the door to the north?

Mella moves over to the door on the north wall, "What about this one?" She gives a listen.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Mella points with her sword at the keyhole, "What is that?"

Mella quickly remembers that she carries antitoxin from a prior mission in Qadira! "Lila, quickly drink this!" she practically pours it down Lila's throat. +5 alchemical bonus on Fortitude saving throws against poison for 1 hour

Heal (treat poison): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 Just missed it! Still, you get the +5 for the next hour...

"Hang in ther Lila!"

Powerattack longsword: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11

Oh, my bad. Sorry...this is my first paladin :)

Mella pivots quickly to the other devil, swinging again!

Power attack longsword: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 3 + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 + 1 = 15

Mella swings again at the wounded devil, "Begone vile thing!"

Power attack longsword: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 3 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 = 15

Ahhh, it burns, it burns...oh, wait, nevermind ;)

Mella draws her longsword calling on the holy might of Iomedae and delivers a powerful swing at the devil that tried to poison Lila!

Power attack longsword: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 3 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 = 11

Draw longsword, smite evil, power attack. AC 22 vs devil 2.

Mella fumbles with the keyring, handing it to Lila. "I believe you are right!"

I figured, no problems.

Aid Another Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

"Move along! Move along!"

Does it have to be intimidate? I can talk to them really, really nicely to make them go away instead :) Diplomacy +10, Intimidate +3

Mella moves up next to Lila, quietly calling on Iomedae to reveal the presence of evil.

Mella will use the elixir

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Mella tries to be very, very quite...1d20 - 8 ⇒ (1) - 8 = -7

Not to be overly meta, but the elixir is going to only net me +2 where an untrained bluff is going to be +3. Since it lasts 1 hour though I guess if it comes up again stealth might be a better option. It may be in this case as well since it's a time penalty not a strike.

Mella watches the crowd: Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Mella nods in approval.

Mella looks at her armor and just laughs. "Sixth Sword Knight Gbadu does not ... sneak."

Mella moves forward, taking the key bundle out of the door. "Let's move then, we've got 55 minutes."

Mella starts laughing to herself, shaking her head.

I'll purchase the two disguise kits as suggested, and conceal her holy symbol.

Clearly uncomfortable, a Mwangi woman wearing splint mail, carrying a heavy shield and longsword speaks up, "I am Mella Gbadu, Sixth Sword Knight of Iomedae. Venture-Captain Valsin, I'm not quite sure I understand my strategic importance on this particular assignment." There is something in the way she carries herself and speaks, underneath the martial training, that hints at her celestial nature. "Is this where you tell me it's better to deal with the devil we know?"

Takes Mella to L2!

Great game Nebten! Thanks again!

My day job is being ineffectual...NAT 20! :D

Mella solemnly gathers what she can of the elf's remains, after Jarlgur and Eadie have taken care of the minotaur she sheepishly asks Eadie for her sword back. "Thanks for picking that up for me."

"Your Highness, if you are well enough to travel we should begin the track back to the surface of Absalom with all haste!"

Mella cautious approaches Mikhaere and the elf with the clockworks stopped, "I'll need to lay him to rest, yes." Looking down at Maaarv, Eadie and Jarglur she calls "Very well done! Eadie, I believe you've made your point!"

From her high vantage point, Mella looks for the minotaur Prince.

Mella shakes her head, awaking from some far off place. Seeing her sword across the room, she curses in polyglot and begins climbing the ladder.

Not sure how far a double move gets me up the ladder and towards the elf moving 1/2 speed on the catwalk. Yeah on the catwalk. I do my little turn on the catwalk.

Mella pouts in the corner.

Mella says, "Frankly I was expecting to find an elf corpse. "

Mella scans for signs of Nuar Spirtskin as she hurries toward the ladder at the southern end of the room.

"Abysiel Greensummer I have come in search of a missing companion, lost to this tangle. Lost, apparently as you are to it as well. I bare you no malice, by Iomedae I swear it. Allow me to help you escape this prison with us, but harm my friends and you will be forcefully freed from your mortality!"

Double move to AB16

Pointing with her sword, Mella says "I'll need to cut him down from there. Col. Maldris believes it will be a gesture of good faith to the Kyonin Embassy."

@Eadie - post edited :)

This has been amazing so far, big kudos. I'm very excited for the next scene :)

Kermit arm flail.

Momentarily surprised by Eadie's action Mella leans in, her strong hand closing around the back of Eadie's neck and kisses her with an unrealized passion and intensity. "When I leave this world Eadie, I hope it is with you at my side." She shakes her head, "But that is not today."

Looking beyond the bronze door, her shield once again ready and her longsword in hand, Mella watches her companions recover and prepare themselves. "This tangle is indeed deadly, but no floating minotaur corpse gives us some home of success yet."

Mella begins reciting a battle prayer, commonly known as the Sixth Act, in which Iomedae herself caused her shattered sword to reforge itself so that she could fight on against the Whispering Tyrant.

Drowning deathtrap avoid!!!!!

/me does crazy Kermit dance!!!

Mella presses her palm frantically against the plate...

Int check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

One more success...no pressure Maaaaaaaaaaaarv! Though I think with that critical failure on the doors' part Maaarv's got it in the bag.

The real problem here, of course, is that Crystal Fraiser is an evil, evil woman! (And I <3 her).

With the water up to her neck, Mella looses what little cool she had left and smashes her sword into the door/puzzle!

Str Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Mella says, "I think maybe we should be trying to outsmart this thing rather than disabling it."

In a flash of insight, Mella pulls Maaarv back from the door reaching into adjust the leavers in a way she thinks will help...

Int: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Mella shakes her head, "I'll die with my armor on, even if it's because I can't swim. When the water reaches my shoulder, I'm smashing that door down."

lol - so you are! Somehow my panicked eyes overlooked that!

"By all means professor, disable away!"
