Melon the Roc's page

Melon continues to attack the spirit to the best of her abilities. "Prrrowaa!"

+1 Bite, Prayer, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 18 Damage, Prayer: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
+1 Talon, Prayer, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 22 Damage, Prayer: 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6
+1 Talon, Prayer, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 27 Damage, Prayer: 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

@Vahid: Melon did not, I totally forgot... :S

@GM: Shouldn't Gruugdurz be at -12 now? And may I still add Vahid's bonuses to Melon's attacks?

@GM: Melon went 80 feet up into the air on her first round and charged the spirit from above, so the elemental wouldn't be able to hit her at any point during the charge.

Fly, to hover: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Melon tries to hover, but she fails and has to land. No longer having the advantage of the high ground, she proceeds to attack the spirit anyway.

+1 Bite, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
+1 Talon, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
+1 Talon, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 = 19 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Melon charges from the sky and attacks the spirit, ending up in flanking position with Eidi and staying afloat five feet above the ground.

+1 Bite, High Ground, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Melon does as commanded and flies up in circles, eventually ending up 80 feet above the market.

I'll drop charge Melon on the BBEG next round, if Xien's also going there.

Melon moves up to the same crysmal as Dylara as tries to bite it.

+1 Bite, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Dylara steps up and attacks the same enemy as Dylara.

+1 Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Melon moves five feet and attacks the same crystal thingy as Dylara did.

+1 Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

"Prrrrowaa!!" Melon declares proudly when she hears her name's mentioned.

At Dylara's command, Melon temporarily swoops by for the healing. She then takes off to the sky again.

Yay, healing!

"Prrrowaa!"

Melon takes off into the air and starts scanning the market from above.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

She's a bit distracted though, by all the mess created during the fights.

Melon turns to attack the same scarecrow as Tien with her sharp beak and talons.

+1 Bite, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
+1 Talon, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
+1 Talon, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Now she's finally no longer blinded, Melon can actually see as she attacks the scarecrow next to her. "Prrrowaa!!"

+1 Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

A bird trying to kill a scarecrow! :O

Melon flaps her wings in relief when the pain from her wound magically lessens.

Thank you! :)

@GM: It was the 2nd Will save in Melon's last post that cured the blindness. I'll make this post assuming she's still blinded, and hope I can use that 22 Will save for the end of this turn?

Still blinded, Melon attacks whatever it is that attacked her.

+1 Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 3
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 76
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 33

After her attacks, the glitterdust is finally gone from Melon's eyes.

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Though maybe 6 seconds later...
Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Yay!

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Melon does as commanded and stays where she is.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The glitterdust in her eyes continues to bother her.

Melon, still blinded, also attacks the man with the red pants.

+1 Bite, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 62
+1 Talon, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 21
+1 Talon, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 10

Sadly all of her attacks miss.

Save versus glitterdust at end of turn:
Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Bleh...

Melon also continues to attack the same man.

+1 Bite, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 57
+1 Talon, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 43
+1 Talon, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 80

This time she has better luck hitting her target, despite still being blinded.

Save at end of turn:
Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Nope, still blinded.

Completely missed fortune. Here's Melon's 2nd roll at the end of her turn.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

No change... :(

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Melon's also blinded, but fiercely continues her attacks versus the man in front of her.

+1 Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 4
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 5
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
50% Miss Chance; High = Good: 1d100 ⇒ 39

However, all of Melon's attacks are easily dodged.

"Prrowaaa!"

Melon follows Dylara's lead and attacks the man with red pants. She's a bit less accurate though.

+1 Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Melon closes her eyes while Dylara pets her, pushing her head into Dylara's hand.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Fly; move less than half speed and remain flying (DC 10): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Melon's not the least bit bothered by the glitterdust. She 5-foot flies to the west and goes all-out versus the invisible yet outlined alchemist.

+1 Bite, High Ground, IC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 21 Damage, IC: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10
+1 Talon, High Ground, IC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 12 Damage, IC: 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
+1 Talon, High Ground, IC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 27 Damage, IC: 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Melon can't understand the verses, but does Ludovico's familiar voice being all soothing and pleasant count?

Fly; move less than half speed and remain flying (DC 10): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Melon charges at the woman Dylara's also focusing her attention on, attacking the alchemist from the air directly above the red thug.

+1 Bite, Charge, High Ground: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 20 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

-2 AC till next turn

Fly, Hover: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Melon flies into the store and hovers just above Ludovico's head, from where she attacks the nearest enemy.

+1 Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

"Prrrowaa!"

Melon takes to the air and rapidly flies half a circle before attacking the other dog from five feet above the ground.

+1 Bite, High Ground, IC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 28 Damage, IC: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10
Confirm crit: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 14 Damage, IC: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

Not sure if it's something Melon would care about, but here's a roll for her:

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Melon doesn't seem the least bit bothered with the glitterdust. She takes a couple small steps back when Dylara tells her to stand down, and observes the pretty sparkles in the air.

Melon also 5-foot step into the building, where she goes all-out versus the red enemy. "Prrrowaa!"

+1 Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
+1 Talon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Round 1:
Melon does as Dylara says and follows her up to the front door of the building.

Round 2:
Melon sees Dylara throw herself against the door. When Dylara tells her to, Melon does the same.

Str: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Fingers crossed. Doors of burned down buildings aren't usually that strong anymore.

'Cause Melon was only told to look for signs of life and Dylara's not under attack (yet), she will delay as she awaits new orders from Dylara.

Melon takes to the sky and flies in circles above the building, looking for signs of life.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"Prrrrrowaa!" Melon declares both proudly and loudly when she recognizes her own name.

"Prrrroo!" Melon announces, then gives Dylara an expectant look.

"Prrrowaa!" Melon announces, raising her head a bit while being patted.

And once more, with Dylara's best friend!

Melon's just back up when Dylara commands her to lie. The roc looks a bit confused at her master, but does as told and lies down.

However, by that logic, I don't think Mounted Combat will work either. 'Cause Melon doesn't listen to Theadric at all... :S

Melon's critically hit by a fire spell and passes out. The avian drops to the floor, but luckily doesn't hit it hard due to flying just five feet above it.

Melon flies overhead, charging straight at the kobold leader with Theadric on her back. "Prowaaaa!!"

Bite, Charge: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Bonuses from Bull's Strength have been calculated in. Hopefully Theadric does better on his charge attack roll :P

Melon will delay, because Dylara has to give her the order to attack and Dylara's not up yet.

"Prrrowaa!" Melon declares, as if to object to Dylara.

Seeing as Red's down I'll go ahead and post Melon's round 4 actions:

Fly: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Melon stays in the air and attacks the remaining kobold again.

Bite, High Ground: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 = 22 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Claw 1, High Ground: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9 Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Claw 2, High Ground: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6 Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Her bite's accurately aimed, but her claws are just flailing about.

Fly: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Melon continues to hover in front of the kobold and once more attacks it with all her might.

Bite, High Ground: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Claw 1, High Ground: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 = 22 Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Claw 2, High Ground: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20 Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Prrrrrooowaa!" Melon announces loudly, as if to celebrate that she finally managed to hit the kobold.

Bite, High Ground: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Talon 1, High Ground: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6 Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Talon 2, High Ground: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6 Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Wow...

Despite the light from Dylara's spell, Melon's attacks versus the kobold are all wildly inaccurate.

Fly: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Luckily she manages to continue hovering.

"Prowaa!" Melon announces.

The roc flies around the corner, past her allies, and into the sewer passage, illuminating her surroundings with the saddle Dylara used her light spell on.

GM, I placed Melon as far as she can fly with a double move. If she didn't have to move 160 feet to encounter an enemy, and can be placed back 80 feet or less, she'll use a bite attack instead of a 2nd move action.

Bite, High Ground: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Melon flies 5 feet above the floor, giving herself and Theadric the +1 bonus for attacking from High Ground when attacking enemies on the floor.

Melon drops herself on the large chair she was hovering above. "Prrrowaaa!"

She then starts grooming the feathers she can still reach easily with Theadric on her back.

I can't command Melon while Dylara's not up. It requires a free action on Dylara's turn to issue a command. Thus Melon'll continue to follow her last command, for now, which is to attack.

Melon charges past the unarmed man and up to the dog, seeing the latter as a bigger threat. She attacks from the air, flying just five feet above the floor.

Bite, High Ground, Charge: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 11 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

+2 to Theadric's readied attack roll, if it triggers. (From charging.)

Fly, to hover (DC 15): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Melon hears Dylara's whistle and knows exactly what it means. She circles to the front of the building and dive-charges at the man in the door opening. (Either of the men if they're both in the door opening.)

Bite, High Ground, Charge: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 20 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

And of course Theadric gets to poke around with his lance during the dive-charge! :)

Melon accepts the jerky from Theadric and throws her head back to swallow it. She briefly pushes her head against Theadric's shoulder before he gets into the saddle.
