Morthak Bonerattle PFS's page

Thanks again for the game and for stepping in.

"A fitting end for this lost soul. Does anyone have any holy water?"

Morthak hopes that by sprinkling holy water on the remains this will prevent the skeleton from reanimating one day.

Once done, Morthak begins to search the area.

Perception Take 20: 20 + 8 = 28

Morthak steps to one side of the skeletal warrior and slashes at it again, trying to get its attention.

Aid Another +2 flank -4 fighting defensively: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 2 = 12

Karlos and I are now flanking.
Grazyra has a +4 to her next attack against blue (aid).

Since I am not restricted in my movement and allowed to go at full speed I should be able to attempt the acro check with of course the penalties, granted that Red can swing at me anyways so it really doesnt matter in the end

Is that so? Okay... just your character sheet says "Speed 30ft. (20 ft. in armor)". I wasn't aware you were under some effect that makes you ignore that. Is it the effortless armor spell?

acro: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (8) - 4 = 4

Not that it matters with that roll, but for the record, you can only use acrobatics to tumble out of threatened spaces if you are wearing light armor or no armor.

Morthak dives to the floor, rolls, and comes up behind the skeletal warrior.

Acrobatics (tumble): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

"Behind you, you bony bastard!"

Morthak lashes out with his dagger, not expecting to deal any damage but hoping to draw the creature's attention from Grazyra, who is the real threat.

Aid Another - Grazya (fighting defensively) DC 10: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 4 = 22

Sadly I don't think you can crit an Aid Another attempt.
Grazyra: you may now enjoy a +4 to either your AC vs the next attack from blue or +4 on your next attack to hit him. Take your pick.

Guys, for some reason my machine has acquired DNS issues and I can't see the map right now. Morthak will want to move into position so he can help out against one of the enemies. If he can move into flanking position on an enemy (his move is 30') he will move and then make an attack while fighting defensively (AC will be 19). Otherwise he will go full defense (AC will be 21) and then just try to move out 30' and to one side or the other, whichever looks like he could get behind more enemies.

Morthak carefully advances, looking for an opportunity.

If able:

Dagger +2 flank, -4 fighting defensively: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 2 = 18
Dagger damage +1d8 sneak: 1d3 - 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) - 1 + (7) = 7

Morthak advances carefully, keeping low and out of sight.

Double move at half speed for a total of 25.' This allows me to use stealth.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 :( ...might be enough if some of them are mindless...

"Wait... there's something here that will activate if you step on the bridge."

Morthak takes out his tools and begins to examine the bridge, hoping to disable the pressure-sensitive flagstones.

If anyone is able to cast guidance now would be a good time for that. Also if anyone can aid that works too.

Disable: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

"Bridge. Don't like the looks of that. Lemme check it out," says Morthak.

Morthak inches forward slowly, examining the floor and objects he passes carefully.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Looking for traps, hazards, anything interesting. Was going to suggest taking 20 but with that roll we're probably good.

If any of you guys are in Canada, Happy Thanksgiving!

Those of you in the US, Happy Columbus Day (or Happy "Guy Who Was Looking For China and Ended Up In Puerto Rico" Day).

Hello folks.

I'm afraid I've been bedridden for several days. My stomach is still in knots but I'm starting to feel better and I hope to catch up soon.

Bot me in the meantime if necessary.

Too tired to concetrate on posting right now. Maybe the afternoon.

Sorry, guys. That one acid flask is all I've got for a swarm though.

"Tyrek! Stop! What is wrong?"

"Yes, let's get moving."

Vivian: your rolls were decent for the healing, but if that was cure light wounds you were doing before then FYI you normally roll d8s rather than d6s.

Morthak looks around at the zombie bodies.

"We put the walking dead to rest once again. I am thankful. But no doubt we are not yet done."

Morthak looks over the map. "Looks like this belonged to another explorer. Is this 'Ranger's Lament' tavern in Kassen?"

Morthak looks around at the others.

I don't have knowledge (local).

Morthak creeps around to the corridor behind the battle, trying to escape the zombie's notice.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Double move at half speed + stealth. Next round might be able to get a sneak attack in if the Zombie isn't dead yet.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Morthak darts between Grazyra's legs and rolls past the zombie, bouncing off the north wall as he goes. He jumps up behind the zombie, dagger in hand.

"Over here, genius!" he shouts, and slashes with the dagger.

Acrobatics to Tumble: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Aid +2 Flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11

Grazyra: You get +4 to hit from my Aid plus +2 for flanking. Go get him!

Morthak tries to distract the zombie again, but he has too hard a time maneuvering around the corner.

Aid: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 ...with the +4 to AC due to cover, that's going to be a failure.

At level 1/2? Wouldn't be hugely optimised even then...

Basically would have to be a fighter or monk, probably, because of the feats necessary.

A charcter optimized for Bull Rush would be a fantastic point man in a dungeon like this.

Can we move through the black things or are they obstacles? I'm going to assume they provide cover and therefore concealment.

Morthak follows Grazyra, and tries to distract the zombie (yellow) by slashing at it's knees.

Dagger (Aid Grazyra) -4 cover, -4 fight defensively: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 4 = 22

Success! Grazyra gets a +4 to her AC this round. Morthak's AC (assuming the black thing provides cover) is 23 against yellow.

Yes, it is ability damage. I was at -6 and a potion of lesser restoration already restored 3 of those points.

Morthak takes a drink from the fountain. Then, like Karlos he dunks his waterskin in and pulls some out to save for later.

I'm at full HP so drinking probably doesn't do anything for me, but I'm hoping it might also give lesser restoration or something.

"Good. Now this seems to be a dead end. Let's make sure there are no secret exits here before we push on."

Morthak searches the walls carefully.

Perception Take 20: 20 + 8 = 28

"Now that everyone is back on heir feet, perhaps we should look around and see what these skeletons were guarding in here."

Morthak begins to search the chamber.

If there is time I would like to do a thorough search of the chamber. I can take 20 on Perception for a 28.

Morthak sighs, happy the restless dead are finally dealt with. He pulls out a wand and turns to Vivian. "Here, use a few shots of this on Karlos there."

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Karlos was at -2 after Vivian's healing so this puts him back to 16/17 HP.

Morthak eyes Karlos as he sits up.
"Better?"

Morthak jabs at the skeleton in the alcove, trying to get it's attention.

Aid Another (Tyrek) -4 cover: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 4 = 8 ...nope.

Morthak drags Karlos clear of the fight. Once KArlos is out of danger he steps forward again, looking to assist against the remaining skeletons.

Standard Action to Drag Karlos (as you mentioned), then move action to move back to where I was. I'm not sure how far I could drag Karlos but I moved his icon 10 feet.

Morthak stabilizes Karlos

Morthak, I will allow that, but as a standard action

In that case I will just make sure I have grabbed his ankle or something this round (move action to manipulate an object), and next round I intend to drag him backwards a square (or further if I can).

"Dammit! Hang on."

Morthak pulls out a roll of cloth from his belt, and presses it over the wound of Karlos' that looks the most grievous.

Heal (untrained) for First Aid DC 15: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

GM: Would it also be possible for me to drag Karlos into my square? With my STR I can drag 400 lbs.

Morthak tries to get the skeleton's attention again.

Aid Another vs. Black -4 fighting defensively: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 4 = 16

He comes very close to nicking the skeleton's knee, and the skeleton turns to defend against him.

"Ha! Karlos! Let him have it!"

Karlos: You get a +4 to hit on your next attack versus the black skeleton. If you take it down, make a 5' step forward and grazya or Asgoro can fill in behind you.

Morthak slogs through the water and follows in behind Karlos. He lashes out at one of the skeletons, trying to get it's attention.

I'll aim at whichever skeleton (between Red and Blue) is still standing after Karlos' attack. Fighting Defensively; AC is now 19 and I also have cover from the corners fo the walls.

Aid Another -4 fighting defensively: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 4 = 5
Nope.

Karlos moves forward, ready to close when a spot opens up.

forward 10ft and wait

Karlos: if you are taking the spot between Grazya and Asgoro, you can still attack red or blue. They will have cover, but you will also have cover from them.

"Tyrek! Either push them out of the way or fall back! Don't let yourself get swarmed!"

If you killed Green, you could 5' step forward to allow Asgoro to move in.

Morthak waits for there to be room to maneuver.

Delay.

"Electric mushrooms. What will they think of next?" Morthak muses.

"If any of you have the ability to manipulate objest at a distance, you could try using this dagger to scrape the fungus off the walls."

Basically I'm talking about mage hand or a similar spell.

I only see a blue frog on the map.

Also: I assume the watery area counts as difficult terrain? If so I will just double move.

Morthak sloshes up the hallway, trying to get closer.

Frogs

GM: Which way is north on the map? It looks like the area to the east is the stairs we came down, so I'm guessing that the right side of the map is North?

"But these passages bend..." says Morthak thinking. "Does the inscription mean east of here? Or the eastern passage? They may not be the same thing."

I have no particular preference which way.

FYI I'm going out to the country for the weekend (for my brother's wedding) and probably won't have net access. I should be back on track Monday.

Morthak darts ahead, trying to get past the Skeleton and into the corner. He rolls on the floor past Karlos, springing up beside the skeleton. He flashes his dagger, swinging it wide to try to distract the skeleton.

Acrobatics -10 full move: 1d20 + 8 - 10 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 10 = 18

Aid Another (Grazyra) -4 fighting defensively: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 4 = 16

Grazyra: Your next attack to hit the Skeleton is +4 to hit.

"Grazyra... now!" Morthak shouts.

How are we on resources? Do we want to rest before going downstairs? Morthak is okay except for his STR damage, and the effects of that won't change with just one night's rest (though two nights would heal him up to -1 which has no effect).

Does the pillar that shoots the arrows go all the way to the ceiling? Or does it have a top with space above it?

"Anybody got some rope?" Morthak says as he sticks close to the ground.

I'll full defense again; if someone within reach produces a rope I'll use my move action to grab it. AC is still 25.

Morthak takes a defensive stance, and then rushes out into the room, diving down onto the floor.

Standard action to go Full Defense, then move, then free action to drop prone. My AC gets +4 from full defense and +4 for prone so will now be 25.

"If that doesn't work, maybe I can unlock it."

Morthak assists Asgoro in his search.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

"Hm. A puzzle."

"Presumably magic can be used to open something? And... do you think the missing head is significant?"

Morthak creeps slowly towards the pool, looking for traps, until he can shine a light down into the the pool and have a look within.

Perception Take 10: 10 + 8 = 18
Stealth Take 10: 10 + 12 = 22

Morthak tries to duck under the blades as he rolls through.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

"Well... sorry about that. I'm not myself right now..." Morthak says.

BTW there was a potion of lesser restoration wasn't there? If that's right I will drink that.

Lesser Restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 3

That leaves me with 3 STR damage.

Can I try again?
