Morvius Eruthiel's page

Got my chronicle, thanks!

Morvius just bows and waves to the crowd, keeping his head down.

Thanks for running--that was fun, even if Morvius' dice went cold at the end. He was kind of a beast for the manticore fight and against the mooks, though.

67750-5

No day job. This gets Morvius to L5, so his damage output is going to jump a bit--combination of the +4 BAB break for Deadly Aim, and picking up Rapid Shot as his L5 feat.

Trying to trip Helkit, maybe? It's a long shot, but if successful we're largely set.

How's the thylacine looking?

When in doubt about whether two characters flank an opponent in the middle, trace an imaginary line between the two attackers' centers. If the line passes through opposite borders of the opponent's space (including corners of those borders), then the opponent is flanked.

From the map, the center-to-center line for Helkit and Brimstone doesn't go through opposite sides of Truk's space.

Also, is she evil?

Morvius takes advantage of the thylacine's being grappled to step back to L6 and shoot at Helkit.

DA arrow, incl. PBS, favored enemy, and inspire: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 18

Maybe since she's raging?
DA arrow damage, if applicable, incl. PBS, favored enemy, and inspire: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 15

Morvius leans around the brawler, aims, and shoots at the boss lady. Her words seem to have robbed the half-elf of his usual accuracy, though.

First miss of the fight...not going to complain, though, as Morvius has been doing pretty well so far.

DA arrow to Helkit, incl. shaken, PBS, inspire, and favored enemy: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 12

I had a question about the benefits of Crowd Points.

Any time a combatant performs one of the following actions, he or she earns the team one Crowd Point. As a swift action as part of any action that would earn a Crowd Point, the combatant may attempt a DC 19 Perform (act), (dance), or (oratory) check to increase the total points earned by 1. When a team has a number of Crowd Points equal to or greater than the number of combatants on the team, all team members gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, ability checks, skill checks, and saving throws. If a team has twice as many Crowd Points as members, increase the bonus to +2. Should a team’s Crowd Points total drop below 0, team members suffer a –1 penalty on attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, ability checks, skill checks, and saving throws. If a team has a negative Crowd Point total equal to or greater than the number of team members (for example, –5 points for a 5-person team), increase this penalty to –2.

Is an unconscious or dead team member still considered to be a combatant? That is, if, e.g., you have a five-person team with four Crowd Points and one of your team members gets taken out, do you now have a four-person team with four Crowd Points, and your morale suddenly improves?

"Nice try."

As the second Slayer moves in, Morvius coolly draws and fires again, all business.

DA arrow to S1, incl. PBS, favored enemy, and inspire: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 26
Arrow damage, incl. PBS, favored enemy, and inspire: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 14

Don't forget to add +2 if the slayers are human

Thanks for the reminder--been a busy day at work. DM AR, are they human? If so, add 2 to each damage roll.

Morvius points at S2 before putting a second arrow into the already-wounded Slayer.

DA arrow to S2, incl. inspiration: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23
DA arrow damage, incl. inspiration: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

I'd need a nat 20; -1 CHA and no ranks in Perform :-(.

Perception check for shifting sand in front of Morvius: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

If the way is clear, the archer takes a short step forward and looses on S2. Being aware of his limitations as a public speaker, Morvius does not try to say anything when the arrow hits its target. He just grins and pumps his fist in the air.

Arrow to S2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Arrow damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

How did the crowd react?

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

It takes Morvius about half the rest time to heal. 34 charges left in the wand.

"I'll need some healing here soon!" Morvius powers through the pain and lands another shot I assume, since the 17 confirmed before.

DA arrow, incl. inspiration: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18
DA arrow damage, incl. inspiration: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13

Morvius grimaces in pain as two of the spikes strike home. He positions himself to maximize his cover from the brawler, sights down the arrow, and sends it up after his first. "YES! I can do this all day, c-can you?"

DA arrow to creature, incl. inspire: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28
DA arrow damage, incl. inspire: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11

Judicious choice of adventuring companions, no doubt. Morvius certainly benefits from having Truk there to pound the snot out of anything that comes near him while he perforates enemies from range.

Morvius draws an arrow and holds until Tal has started her inspiration, then looses at the creature.

DA arrow, incl. inspiration (subtract 2 if Tal isn't inspiring): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 = 29
Confirm, incl. inspiration (subtract 2 if Tal isn't inspiring): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17

Base damage, subtract 2 if not inspired: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8

Additional crit damage, if applicable, subtract 4 if not inspired: 2d8 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (5, 8) + 10 + 4 = 27

I already got one. It's very very nice.

Roger that.

Is this enough of an urban setting for Morvius to get his favored terrain bonus? Also, would he get his favored enemy bonus to Perception to spot the quicksand if they were placed by humans?

Sorry; I was on the road today. Morvius will go in with mage armor running.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Morvius won't do a lot--this is outside of his normal area of expertise--though he will ask the VC about the "shifting sands" fight setting and whether missile weapons are allowed.

I'm in a meeting now, so will be quiet most of the rest of today; tomorrow is a travel day, which will also keep me away from the boards most of the time.

Morvius looks to Taliesin to do the introductions and the challenge.

"As long as the terms don't e-exclude bows and arrows, I'm game."

The VC told us to kill any pirates we found, so let's do that. We have the information we need from this one.

I think we need to at least report to the VC before we go on to Helkit.

Morvius shakes his head. "No. The ne-next thing we should do is report to the Venture-Captain, so he'll know who's interfering and c-can bring in more Pathfinders if sh-she kills us in the arena."

The ranger taps himself twice with his curing wand, restoring his health completely from the ravages of the priest's channeling. "Las, d-do you recognize the name?"

CLW from wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW from wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Do the sailors have any arrows?

"E-everyone all right? That negative energy was p-pretty bad." If there's no one else around, Morvius will secure the fallen, then search the building and environs.

DC 12 Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Morvius continues to resist the cleric's attack, returning fire.

DA arrow, incl. PBS, inspire, and favored enemy: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 24
Target hit: 1d2 ⇒ 2
DA arrow damage, incl. PBS, inspire, and favored enemy: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 18

DC 12 Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Morvius likewise soldiers on through the storm of negative energy, then shoots at the Besmaran cleric before closing up behind Truk.

DA arrow to priest, incl. PBS, inspire, and favored enemy: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 23
Target hit: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Arrow damage, incl. PBS, inspire, and favored enemy: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 14

ETA: I'm not sure whether my attack will come before or after Truk's; there may not be a second image there to confuse the issue.

Morvius takes a short step that puts him behind Truk, then sends an arrow at the sailor in the doorway.

DA arrow to sailor, incl. soft cover, PBS, inspire, and favored enemy: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 20
DA arrow damage, if applicable, incl. PBS, inspire, and favored enemy: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 17

It looked as though it was a double move for Morvius to get to the door.

"It's a p-priest in there--that sounds like divine favor. Let's press on."

Morvius advances to the door and waits for Truk and the others.

We spent the night on the river, I think.

Just in case:

Perception check (add +2 if it's a human): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Spellcraft check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Pretty unambiguous pair of rolls, there.

With Morvius' Perception bonus, any chance he can make a Spellcraft check to recognize the spell being cast?

Morvius puts an arrow into the sailor to the left, then advances to stand with Truk.

DA Arrow to S2, incl. PBS and favored enemy: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 22
DA arrow damage, incl. PBS and favored enemy: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 16

Are the people that we can see all humans?

"B-bottomlands like this are wet enough that a, a fire would smoke a lot. Hard to match that with just a figment."

Morvius will cast mage armor on himself from a wand.

"I can b-be pretty quiet, when I need to be. Against humans I can do all right hand to hand, but I'm a better archer."

Morvius hangs back and watches the druid for signs of deceit.

Sense Motive check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

"I d-don't like that spell. This is quicker."

Morvius draws a curing wand and applies it to Truk.

3 charges; 43 remaining: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 7) + 3 = 16

2 charges; 41 remaining: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 2 = 9

Morvius laughs. "Good th-thing you were along, Tali!" He'll search the enemy craft for any indication of organization--papers warning them about the party, log books, and the like.

If she was only 30' up, add +1 to Morvius' damage for Point-Blank Shot.

Morvius grins as the halfling gets out of the ground clutter, then coolly puts an arrow into her. "Still t-too close!"

DA Arrow to airborne, incl. banner and inspire: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 = 27

DA damage, incl. banner and inspire: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14
