Menudo's page

If I am late for my turn, I move in and attack the nearest bad thing. Ideally a cultist before a rat, if it's an even choice.

Sorry everyone, it's been a crazy time.

We're taking in a friend who was about to literally be homeless. She makes over $20 an hour and she can't afford to live alone anywhere in town. This is not a major city. It's an 80,000 population area. But a high speed toll road was just completed to Toronto. And now rich a+@~*&*s who don't mind driving to work are starting to snap up property. Like many places, bidding wars are starting over rents.

Anyway, to make a long story slightly shorter, we're taking her in. When I say we, I mean my wife, myself, and our severely depressed housemate. It's a 3 bedroom. We are about to have 4 people, and a dog, living in this place. There is one bathroom.

I'm not saying this to vent, only to give everyone a sense of the upheaval that is going on. This place was crammed floor to ceiling already with the belongings of three grown adults. Our new tenant is putting most of her belongings in storage; however, she still needs at least one room.

We call this place "The Madhouse" and that's becoming truer all the time.

So bot me all you want right now, and I'll be here more often soon.

Ready whenever.

14th? Sure.

What ever you do, don't fondle a Margaret Thatcher icon.

That's Tory Statue Rape.

Happy to take a break. Thanks for running.

@GM I think you're supposed to scratch that off.

I have seen women in their swimming garb before. More than that, I prefer to leave until my wedding night.

No day job.

Great. Somewhere else I can't bring a horse.

Menudo sighs.

Yes, an ale sounds good. Just cut me off before I start singing... too much.

will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Menudo has no patience for this war of wills, and aims to simply take the ghoul's head off.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Uh uh, no way, product reroll with +5 GM stars.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 5 = 31

At least that's a hit, but I haven't had a critical threat in at least two scenarios and I'm using a freakin' curve blade!

magic slashing damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

I'm trying not to think about it too hard...

Undeterred by the evil thing's claws, Menudo climbs on the altar move action, provoking. Then, he strikes from the high ground.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
1d10 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 damage

Menudo swings at the bony monstrosity before him.

attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 for damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

If that takes it down, Menudo will move past red, provoking, and next to the blowhard.

How many rounds would I have left on Shield? It was one minute when we started down the stairs, I imagine it's close to run out.

Menudo, it looks like you forgot the +2 to hit for charging. That just might change the outcome...

Correct, I did.

Menudo charges yellow.

I'll roll assuming the orb doesn't suck me into an alternate dimension where there are no shrimp.

Attacking Defensively, +3 to AC due to 3+ ranks in Acrobatics.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 for Damage (slashing): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

AC is 22+4+3-2=27

What is that round thing halfway down the hall, can I charge through it?

Menudo will attempt to activate his Wand of Shield before descending the staircase.

UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

Menudo fires up his healing wand.

Healing himself: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Healing Nightkit: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Healing Nightkit: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Menudo calls upon Erastil and lays hands on Nightkit.

LoH: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

Then, swiftly, he does the same for himself.

LoH: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

Does your foulness know no bounds?

Turning on the nearest cultist, already showing blood, Menudo calls forth the righteous vengeance of Erastil. Smite Evil on red

It now comes down to Menudo's skill with his Curve Blade.

Elven Curve Blade with Smite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

damage with Smite: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

If he goes down, I will 5' step into the square Nightkit is in. If he doesn't go down, Menudo will 5' step north.

a gibbering mouther? I went to school with someone that fits that description....

We all did.

Heh.

The dangers of cut and paste :)

If White took a readied action, shouldn't they have moved in initiative to just above Menudo?

Menudo staggers around blindly, provoking as many attacks of opportunity as he can.

"Come on you little buggers! Come at me!"

GM can place me on the map wherever I end up.

With Shield, FF AC is 25

"I won't stand for those poisoned bolts being used. Poison is not an honorable path.

Before you drink the potion, Menudo was going to Channel.

Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 5) = 10

Don't forget splash damage on anyone in the area. Menudo can target the part of the swarm in the square he is standing in. Also, does it catch fire?

Fort v Poison: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Fort v Distraction: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

I believe I am now down 7 hp, as I would have taken 1 splash from my own acid.

Growing annoyed, Menudo draws an Alchemist's Fire and uses it as well.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Menudo drops his wand, draws an acid flask and blindly throws it into the swarm right beside him.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Menudo drops his Wand of FF, and tries to move to the NE, drawing his Wand of Shield as he does. That will provoke, as I'd be unknowingly walking into an enemy. Once that happens, he'll try to activate the wand.

UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31

Is it just me, or did the current map vanish?

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Take any time you need.

Not even sure if this will work, Menudo again draws his wand of Faerie Fire and aims it at the source of the loud boom.

umd: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

It's pointless, as FF is a level 1 spell and Darkness is level 2, but Menudo has no Spellcraft, so he wouldn't know that.

Menudo then steps to the edge of the darkness, hoping to draw a foe out.

Random Number Jesus seems to have it in for me today.

Menudo sighs, dismounts, and orders his horse to stay and guard the entrance.

Then, he pulls out his trusty Wand of Longstrider.

UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19
UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Menudo sigh.

"I don't know whether to blame Desna for my bad luck, Nethys for magic failing me, or Irori for my own lack of skill..."

He stows the wand.

"Slow and steady wins the race, right.'

Overhearing Merida and Nightkit, Menudo grins a bit and says:

"I expect an invitation to the wedding."

Menudo has low-light vision, so can see farther under torch light.

"Are we sneaking? I say I take the lead and we just plod along until plot, something happens to us."

Menudo quickly questions a local to confirm the theory.

Take 10 is over 10

Menudo decides a little vandalism is for the greater good. Besides these city monuments are always garish and motivated by vanity.

He smashes the compartment with his crowbar, until it opens.

"I have no idea how to deal with this lock... Let's move on."

Menudo casually summons a warhorse, and climbs into the saddle.

Menudo looks to Theron.

"Happy to help as well. Still have my trusty crowbar."

He pauses...

"Give me a minute..."

Menudo produces a whetstone and files the blade on one of his throwing axes.

"Could there be a hidden door here?"

"I don't know a great many songs, but hum a few bars and I can try and fake it."

By now, my Longstrider wand will have worn off, right?

"Perhaps we could haul one of the bodies to a church, have them interrogate the corpse itself? Even if it requires a donation, it would be cheaper than a scroll..."

"Defilers..." says Menudo with disdain.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

I see noth-ing!

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Menudo retrieves his two dropped wands.

Then, he scans the engineers for evil, though their auras are likely too weak to read at all... But should there be a dark cleric, or even a thrice damned anti-paladin hiding among them...

Without even asking first, Menudo walks over to Nightkit and gives her a tap with his curing wand.

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Menudo steps forward 5', redraws his Elven Curve Blade, and draws upon his divine energy to strike down the foe, then awaits Merida moving to flank.

5' step, move to draw weapon, swift to Smite Evil, standard to ready for a flank. I will roll it in advance.

AC is now 28 vs her

Menudo gives up on the rope and heads for the ladder.

Double move/climb. I'll let the GM determine where I end up.

Just using CRB. There may be more clarity in another product. Feel free to point me to a source.

My CRB lists the description of DC 15 as: "Any surface with adequate handholds and footholds (natural or artificial), such as a very rough natural rock surface or a tree, or an unknotted rope, or pulling yourself up when dangling by your hands"

Regardless, I failed, that ends my turn.
