Nastarok's page

"I think we should ignore it. It would bother me to have to fight and kill those who appear to live in peace here."

Nastarok flies back to the others before his spells end and he ends up dropping from the sky into the middle of the city.

Landing with the gnome and the wizard, he fills them in on what he saw.

Nastarok will look around for guards or for anything that looks threatening.

Nastarok hovers and watches the man with the little girl.

fly: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

"Fascinating" Nastarok says dryly.

"Maybe a combination of invisibility and flight for someone? That could give a good look at what's going on behind the walls."

"Wilhaim, do you have any magic that would let you scout the town from here? Omar and I could sneak up and scout around after dark."

"It seems like maybe I should have brought this up earlier, but the magic you used to hide us from the wizard wore off a while ago, didn't it?" Nastarok asks Wilhaim.

"I'd be surprised if there are any people here that aren't the wizard's creatures."

"Anyone got any idea what that lad is saying?" Nastarok asks the others as he slows to let them catch up with him.

Nastarok rolls up his pillow and blankets and then stows them in his portable hole.

"I'll lead off. Keep a sharp eye out for those goblin cannibals."

He heads off down the path towards the village, keeping watch for trouble.

perception: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (13) + 32 = 45 (+7 for traps)

"Wake me for my watch." Nastarok says.

He unrolls his portable hole and pulls a pillow and a collection of blankets out of it. Then goes to sleep.

Nastarok heads over to the campfire and checks for trouble.

perception: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (2) + 32 = 34 (+7 for traps)

"Do you need healing Grooklepop?" Nastarok asks the gnome.

"Well, let's see where this goes then."

Nastarok sets off down the path towards the forest, his mithril studded boots crunching on the gravel.

Over his shoulder to Omar he calls:

"If any of those goblin cannibals the elf told us about show up, give me a shout and shoot them."

Nastarok shivers as he ventures out into the snow.

Is there any indication of where the path leads?

Nastarok waves the others forward.

"Let's check those doors." Nastarok suggests.

He walks down the hall cautiously, looking about for trouble.

perception: 1d20 + 32 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 32 + 4 + 2 = 41 (+7 for traps)

"Hmmm....." Nastarok muses as he looks about.

"I'll make sure these stay safe." he says to himself.

He pulls a folded cloth out of a pouch on his belt and unrolls it onto the floor.

He reaches down towards and then through the cloth into the extradimensional space beyond, up to his shoulder. He fishes about for a few moments and then grunts as he finds what he is looking for.

He pulls a large, iron-bound chest out of the Portable Hole and drags it out onto the the stone floor. He opens the lid of the chest and pulls out one of his spare cloaks.

He wraps the cloak around the two glowing swords to cushion them and hide the light from their glowing magic. Then he puts the wrapped pair of blades back into the chest, seals it with a thud, and replaces the chest in the portable hole.

As he folds up the magic cloth and puts it back into the pouch at his belt, he says to the other three. "I'll just hang onto those in case I need a spare blade later."

Nastarok moves over to put his back to a wall, making sure he can keep an eye on the swords and his companions.

"Recognize any of these books Wilhaim?" Nastarok asks the wizard.

The rogue sets the two magic swords down on the floor once he is in the room and turns to the others.

"These swords do look pretty fancy, but I'm not sure I like them better than my own blades."

Nastarok picks up the swords and moves to the door of the room, looking for danger.

perception: 1d20 + 32 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 32 + 4 + 2 = 56 (+7 for traps)

Nastarok floats down to the floor near the departed enemy.

He takes a look at the creature's two discarded swords.

perception: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (20) + 32 = 52

As he reaches the Worm's elevation, Nastarok steadies himself and then flys at max speed towards the Worm.

Fly Check (DC15): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

"Coming Grooklepop! Waahoo!!!" he calls out to his gnome companion.

He swoops into the Worm with a flying charge and drives his admantince kukri home.

charge attack: 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 26 + 2 = 40

damage: 1d4 + 11 + 7d6 ⇒ (1) + 11 + (4, 4, 5, 1, 1, 6, 4) = 37 (sneak attack damage from Scout's charge)

( if damaged by the sneak attack, then he'll be -2AC/-6vs me and -2 to hit / -6 vs me for a round)

(Omar and Wilhaim are up?)

(Missed the flying part somehow)

Nastarok flips out his curved kukris into each hand. (free action)

He activates his Celestial Armor so that he can fly.

He flys up vertical 50 feet to match heights with the bad guy.

Nastarok readies himself.

initiative: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

but holds his action to see what the figure does.

Trust Wilhaim and jump.

"I don't mind dropping, if you promise you can catch me."

Nastarok sneaks ahead to scout.

stealth: 1d20 + 32 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 32 + 4 + 2 = 47

perception: 1d20 + 32 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 32 + 4 + 2 = 43

"Something written here. Maybe you can read it." Nastarok says back to Wilhaim.

Nastarok opens it a little more and takes a peak.

"I'll try opening it." Nastarok says over his shoulder to the group.

He tries the handle to see what happens.

"Well then, follow me this way." Nastarok says to the others.

We will head back to the trapdoor we previously found.

Nastarok will look for traps.

perception for traps: 1d20 + 37 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 37 + 7 + 6 = 58

If he doesn't find anything, then he will listen.

perception to listen: 1d20 + 37 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 37 + 6 = 45

"Damned if I know what that was, but it hurt."

"Wilhaim, don't you wizards know about things like that?"

He withdraws a cure light wounds wand from his Handy Haversack and starts patching himself up. He rubs the tip of the stubby little wand (kinda like a magic glue stick) across the cuts and abrasions he suffered from the metal giant's spells. Uses 14 charges.

When he is finished he says "I say we keep moving. We'll make a harder target that way."

Nast uses twist away to convert to a reflex save. He is staggered this round.

reflex save: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (13) + 24 = 37

5' step to close up again.

He uses his left kukri's sneaky property to make a sneak attack against the metal giant.

attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (11) + 24 = 35

damage: 1d4 + 11 + 7d6 ⇒ (3) + 11 + (3, 1, 4, 1, 6, 3, 1) = 33

Extend debilitating effects 1 round.

Nastarok's current AC until his next turn is 38 because of haste .... not that I'm worried or anything

"Keep those little legs pumping Groooklepoop!"

Indeed, the counterattacks are my main concern at this point

remember, Bewildered Debilitating Injury drops its AC by 2/6 for 4 rounds and Disoriented Debilitating Injury gives it a -2/-6 pnealty on attacks for 4 rounds.

That second part is likely to be important next round when it tries to hit me with that sword

"Last one to the bad guy is a half-troll's fancyboy Grooklepop!" Nastarok says to the gnome.

He clicks his heels together to activate his Boots of Speed for the round. (free action)

He flicks his kukri out of their sheaths. (free action)

He activates Dimensional Dervish to dimension door to the bad guy (swift action - 120 foot range - 100 foot distance leaves him 20 feet of movement - enough for 5 total attacks, with 1 5' step in the middle to circle around from front right to back left). Ending adjacent to the bad guy.

Double Debilitation: as soon as a sneak attack lands, it takes a -2ac vs everyone (-6ac vs me) and a -2to hit everyone(-6 to hit me).

Attack #1 (Haste): 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 24 + 1 + 6 = 35

Attack #2 (1st right): 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 24 + 1 + 6 = 33

Attack #3 (1st left): 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 24 + 1 + 6 = 37

Attack #4 (2nd right): 1d20 + 19 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 19 + 1 + 6 = 28

Attack #5 (2nd left): 1d20 + 19 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 19 + 1 + 6 = 31

Really? 4,2,6,2,5? Really?

damage #1: 1d4 + 11 + 7d6 ⇒ (2) + 11 + (3, 1, 2, 2, 5, 5, 1) = 32

damage #2: 1d4 + 11 + 7d6 ⇒ (3) + 11 + (4, 6, 4, 1, 2, 4, 5) = 40

damage #3: 1d4 + 7 + 7d6 ⇒ (2) + 7 + (6, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 1) = 23

damage #4: 1d4 + 11 + 7d6 ⇒ (4) + 11 + (1, 6, 6, 5, 6, 5, 1) = 45

damage #5: 1d4 + 7 + 7d6 ⇒ (2) + 7 + (2, 2, 4, 6, 2, 4, 1) = 30

Will Save: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22
2nd Will Save (if it's mind affecting - Cap of the Free Thinker): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

Fort Save: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

initiative: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 4 + 2 = 33

"Let it close in Grooklepop, then I'll flank and you smash it."

Nastarok delays to let the metal monster get closer.

"The guardians the elf spoke of?"

"Careful, let one of us look first." Nastarok says to Wilhaim and Grooklepop as he gestures from himself to Omar.

Nastarok looks ahead for traps.

perception for traps: 1d20 + 32 + 7 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 32 + 7 + 4 + 2 = 53

(As a note, he has the trapfinding talent so he automatically looks for traps within 10')

Wilhelm can tell us / show us it doesn't exist, but that just gives us a bonus on our will save to disbelieve.

but to be honest, I'm not sure that if you don't know for certain its an illusion that you can spellsunder it.

"More interesting things are probably concealed behind the illusion than not."

"Grooklepop, do you want to break another spell?"

Seems easier than a bunch of will saves to disbelieve

"Wilhaim, if you have the ability to shield us from his scrying with your spells, I think it would be wise to start."

Nastarok slips forward a little bit to scan the room for the trigger to the trap that he suspects is there.

perception: 1d20 + 32 + 4 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 32 + 4 + 2 + 7 = 47

While watching the arrow flash into the "wizard" Nast says over his shoulder to the gnome "Hey, charge on in if you want. The only way you get that rotgut is if I'm wrong."

To the gnome "Easy Grooklepoop .... he's just baiting you into a trap."

"Look at that opening to the left, I'll bet you a shot of Old Timey Rotgut that something will blast you from there if you charge."

To Omar: "How about an arrow into whatevers talking to us to prove if it is real or just a figment."
