Nilaglade's page

Thank you for running this game, GM. The chronicles look great on my end.

Nilaglade is glad it's over. That baron was no joke. He watches Moray toss the baron's body around a bit before snaking away, bored.

Nilaglade is present, front and center during the party. Eating and drinking whatever he can get his hands on. And he chats up everyone he can, especially if they are willing to give him pointers on his own physical training.

But also if they are pretty ladies. He spends a lot of time with Afmari, if possible. Mostly to learn about their culture, and to remind them of the monastery and the bonds they can form within. And also to score a date, but he swears that's secondary.

"Come on, Moray, hold the baron still!" Nilaglade calls out once again.

Then he lets loose.

Shortbow, Hunted Shot 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Critical Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Doubled to 8
Deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 10
Extra Precision Damage as a Precision Ranger: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Shortbow, Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 5 = 9

"Ha! You're going to drown, Baron!" Nilaglade sticks out his tongue to mock the Baron.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Nilaglade is thankful for the Merfolk help.

Readying his shortbow, he takes aim at the Baron.

"Come on, Moray! Hold the Baron still!"

◆ Draw Shortbow
◆ Hunt Prey: Baron
◆ Ask the eel for help

I think we're both Wounded 2 because we were felled by a critical hit.

"Wh-what? Oh gods, I'm back here." Nilaglade mumbles as he clings to Deroff. "Merfolk, if you can hear me, hit that mount!" He points at the Baron's mount.

"As for you, boy. Let's get out of here."
Deroff's Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Deroff's Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

◆ Mount Deroff
◆ Ally Assistance: Merfolk
◆ Direct Animal to get away

"You know, boy... maybe we should ask Moray for help?" Nilaglade doesn't get time to ask before he is run through.

Taking hits for the team, that's what I'm here for!

Will Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Frightened 2
Deroff Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Frightened 3

Deroff yelps as Nilaglade grips his fur. "C-c'mon, that wasn't terrible... what is that thing?"

Recall Knowledge (Nature) with +6 -2 Frightened.

"A little closer... her merfolk, can you hit the Baron's mount?" He marks it as his next target.

◇ Will Save: Nilaglade is Frightened 2, Deroff is Frightened 3
◆ Recall Knowledge on the Baron's Mount
◆ Ask the Merfolk to attack
◆ Hunt Prey on the Mount

Oh, everything is single target. I thought they did a 15 foot cone.

"Yeah, leave it to chance. Now they can't predict our moves!"

"Oh, right." He sees the eel shrug.

"Hey Monks! Churn more water and hit both of those sharks!"

"Hey, Moray! Grab the Baron's mount, and slow 'em down!" He directs the eel to slow the Baron down.

"A little closer, Deroff."

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
"Good." He eyes the Red-scaled shark. "I'll focus on this shark first."

◆ Ally Assistance: Eel vs Baron's mount
◆ Direct Animal Companion to Stride
◆ Hunt Prey: Red

Lore: Scouting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"Underwater scouting, how does it work?" Nilaglade wonders as he orders Deroff to surface to refill their air bladders. "The merfolk said it would be so easy... you think they were just not interested in me, boy?"

"We'll talk later!" Nilaglade finishes his attempts to woo the Merfolk when the gong sounds. "Come on, boy. Time to be heroes."

Deroff's Atheltics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Deroff's Atheltics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

"Bah, I can't see anything... hey monks, can you blast one of the Sea Devils? Maybe one with a Reddish tint if you see 'em?"

Nilaglade will pull out his bow, Direct Animal Companion, and use the Monk Ally Assistance on Red.

Ahem

"Eel. Moray? Can I call you that? We need your help. See that Monastery? Plenty of nice people there who will keep you nice and fed- but only if they survive." Once he convinces the eel he isn't seaweed, Nilaglade gets the creature's attention.
Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Hero Point: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

"Howdy Merfolk. Um, Afmari. Beautiful... tail you have there. I'm a bit jealous. We have to help protect the Monastery. Think of the alliance you can form with them. Oh, and uh once this is over, maybe you and I can chat somewhere a bit more private? I have so much to learn about your culture." He winks.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

"Attention, guards! You've done a fantastic job. We're almost done. Just a bit more and we'll save the day. Deroff and I will be putting our lives on the line, for the good of all. If we stand or swim or... I don't know what word you would use to idle underwater... float? hover? If we all fight together then we will survive together. Now who's with me?!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

"Kyra, you alright?" Nilaglade shouts as Deroff swims over.

Nilaglade's Medicine check is +6. Deroff needs 15 HP. I'm pretty sure other members have better Medicine checks.

"That's a... big eel." He sighs and prepares his bow.

"Don't worry boy, we got this."

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Deroff's Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

"See? No problem. Let's see how the shark feels when it's the prey!"

Shortbow, Hunted Shot 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 5 = 6

"Right... uh... Deroff! YOU show the shark how it feels!"

Jaws: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 Maybe hits with flanking
Piercing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Jaws: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 5 = 14
Piercing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"Hey Ysoldt! Sharks have a soft underbelly, try hitting there."
Nilaglade will attempt to Aid Ysoldt's Strike.

◆ Hunted Shot vs Shark
◆ Direct Animal Companion to ◆ Strike and ◆ Strike
◆ Prepare to ↺ Aid Ysoldt with Nature +6

"Brine Shark. Great. Try to use mental attacks and target its willpower if you can!"

Nilaglade's Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Deroff's Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Nilaglade and Deroff ignore the vortex.

"Eldon? Can you help Kyra?" Once Eldon gives the confirmation, he takes aim. "Then I'll buy you some time..."

Longbow, Hunted Shot 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Longbow, Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 5 = 18
Piercing: 1d8 + 1d8 ⇒ (4) + (7) = 11
Additional Piercing if either shot hit: 1d8 ⇒ 7
Combine everything before applying Resistance

Nilaglade tries to understand what he can do against the shark. What is its weakest Saving Throw? Recall Knowledge (Nature) +6 bonus

[b]"Come on, Deroff. We're going to... swim up to the ferocious shark."[/ooc]

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Jaws: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Piercing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

◆ Hunted Shot vs Shark
◆ Recall Knowledge (Nature) +6
◆ Direct Animal Companion to ◆Stride and ◆Strike

I have the Medicine skill, so I can try to apply first aid.

Nilaglade stares at the shark, trying to note its openings and weakpoints. He marks it as his prey.

Then he fires a pair of arrows from his short bow.

Shortbow, Hunted Shot 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 5 = 8
Piercing: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (4) = 10

Shooting underwater is tough.

"Deroff, over there. Force them to come to us."

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

◆ Hunt Prey: Shark
◆ Hunted Shot vs Shark
◆ Direct Animal to Stride Twice

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Deroff's Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
If only my bard rolled this well against Mummy Rot...

Nilaglade and Deroff hold their ground against the vortex. "Killer shark. Got it."

"Alright boy. Get me a clearer shot."

Deroff's Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Deroff's Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Nilaglade & Deroff swim next to Ysoldt. "Hopefully there's no Turtle Dragon to eat us this time..."

He would spend time identifying the Red thing, but Ysoldt slashed it pretty well. Just Hunt Prey and start shooting.

Shortbow, Hunted Shot 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 5 = 14
Piercing: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (2) = 6
Additional Piercing damage if either shot hit: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Sum all damage before applying Damage Resistance.

◆ Direct Animal Companion to ◆ Stride and ◆ Stride
◆ Hunt Prey: Red
◆ Hunted Shot

"I could try to scout around..." Nilaglade shrugs.

Nilaglade's Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Deroff's Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Nilaglade digs into Deroff, and Deroff digs his heels against the sea floor.

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Welp, I tried.

Nilaglade keeps glaring at the blood tornado. How the heck do you deal with that?

"Huh, a memento..." Nilaglade looks at the scale. "I'm not much of a swimmer, though. Deroff wouldn't mind it, but he doesn't wear armor. Also I think it's a bit too advanced for him. He'd probably chew on it if he had the chance."

I'll pass on the scale. Nilaglade is Untrained in Athletics and Deroff is only Trained. Also, he's an animal.

Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
"There's a thermal crevasse that runs underneath the monastery. Keeps things warm. Which means a lot of dangerous sea creatures will hide under there. Also means lots minerals will pop up from time to time."

Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
"Oh, a bloody... whirlpool." Nilaglade looks at the tornado of torment. "Yeah, that's no storm." He doesn't have much else to say about it.

Survival and Nature are both +6, so he can Aid or lead both tasks. If someone has a higher skill bonus he will Aid.

Don't worry, the GM's joking.

We're going to face the dragon's momma.

Deroff is quite happy for all of the attention and aid. He'd lick people's faces but they taste like saltwater.

Sounds like Ysoldt and Kyra can do their treat wounds checks. That should be enough to heal everyone. We'll use the medic's potions afterward.

5 potions of lesser healing
2 potions of minor healing

Sounds like everyone gets a potion of lesser healing.

Checking the HP totals:

Eldon - 10/27 (Wounded 1)
Kyra - 11/32 (Wounded 1)
Ysoldt - 21/35
Nilaglade - 27/39
Deroff 7/30 (Wounded 2)
Eddie is unharmed.

How many can perform Treat Wounds? I have +6 Medicine. I suggest we work on Eldon, Kyra and Deroff to remove their Wounded condition, and the remaining drink healing potions as needed.

AC 23 and 70 HP against a level 3 party? Well, they are Dragons.

Am I allowed to use it on Animal Companions? If so I'll use it to stabilize him.

Turtle Power may be too much for us...

Shortbow, Hunted Shot 1, Guidance: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 14
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 5 = 20
Really wish I could roll a 12 or higher.

No Healer's Tools on hand. The potion is already used. Nothing he can do to help Deroff besides end this battle.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 9 - 10 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 10 = 6
Shortbow: 1d20 + 9 - 10 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 10 = 9
I'm out of options and can't really move. Hopefully someone has better aim than I.

Deroff's Stabilization Check: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Did we beat that turtle?

Nilaglade watches the crossbow bolt fly and prays it's enough...

It's now or never.

Deroff's Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Deroff swims to flank with Ysoldt.
Deroff's Jaws with flanking: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Piercing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Meanwhile Nilaglade lets another pair of arrows loose.
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 1: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 = 13
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 9 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 5 + 1 = 16
Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Precision: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Blasted dice. Combine all Hunted Shot damage before applying Resistance.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 9 - 10 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 10 + 1 = 4
Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 3

"I'm out of ideas, here..."

Nilaglade flinches as Eldon is walloped.

Another pair of arrows.
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 1: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 = 11
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 9 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 5 + 1 = 9

That was horrible.

Athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Deroff paddles around the ocean before getting into a flanking position.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 9 - 10 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 10 + 1 = 12
Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Another miss. At least he can flank with Ysoldt.

"Thank you. Deroff would probably slobber your face at this point, but..." He shrugs and moves the potion into Deroff's mouth. "Drink up and let's move in."

Minor Healing Potion: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Deroff's Athletics to Swim: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Deroff's Athletics to Swim: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

"Good job, boy." Nilaglade takes aim at the dragon turtle...

Shortbow, Hunted Shot 1, Bless: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 28
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 2, Bless: 1d20 + 9 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 5 + 1 = 7
Piercing: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (2) = 6

If either shot hit, add Precision Piercing Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2.

If the first shot critically hit, add Deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 4 extra damage.

Combine all damage before applying resistance.

◆ Interact to use Minor Healing Potion on Deroff
◆ Direct Animal Companion to Stride and Stride
◆ Hunted Shot vs Dragon Turtle

"Oh boy, that was bad."

Nilaglade takes two more shots.

Shortbow, Hunted Shot 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 5 = 5
Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Precision Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Assuming the first shot hit, combine with the precision shot before applying damage resistance.

"We can't take another beating like that..." He looks at the red rivulets of blood coming from Deroff and frowns. "Come on, boy. Just a bit longer."

Nilaglade pulls out a minor healing elixir as Deroff chomps down.

Jaws: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Piercing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Jaws: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 5 = 17
Piercing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

◆ Hunted Shot
◆ Interact to draw elixir
◆ Direct Animal Companion to ◆Strike ◆Strike

"So... no flanking..." Nilaglade watches Ysoldt tumble and flail. "I'll uh... see what we can do."

Thanks Eddie.

I hit AC 27 with my first shot for 6 + 4 damage.
Nilaglade hits AC 18 for 7 + 1d8 ⇒ 7 + (4) = 11 Piercing damage.

Looks like you subtracted 26 HP from Kyra. Looks like Ysoldt should have taken the bite?

Also, Deroff should be at full HP. Nilaglade healed him for >9 HP< and Eddie fed him a Goodberry for>13< more.

Nilaglade frowns. "Hey! No biting!" He takes aim.
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Shortbow, Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 5 = 7
Piercing: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (3) = 9

If either shot hit, add Precision Piercing Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4. Combine all damage before applying resistance.

He taps Deroff. "Let's try to get closer, eh? If we can flank, Ysoldt can stick it where the sun don't shine."

Deroff's Athletics to Swim: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 Moves 20 ft thanks to 40 ft Land speed + swimming fins

Jaws: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Piercing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Nilaglade points. "Just a little more, Ysoldt. We got your back. Deroff's in the mood for some turtle soup today!"

Intimidate to Demoralize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

◆ Hunted Shot
◆ Direct Animal Companion to ◆ Stride and ◆ Strike
◆ Demoralize

I forgot about the fins.

"Right. it's a big... turtle... dragony... thing."

"Yikes, the turtle is turning on us?" Nilaglade holds onto Deroff. "Alright boy, get me close."

Deroff's Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Deroff's Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
With Deroff's 40 ft of movement, he can swim 15 ft.

"That's good. Thanks." He takes aim with his shortbow.

50 ft away. Shortbow range is normally 30 ft, 15 ft underwater. I'm in the 4th range increment here. I'll try to recall nature instead.

◆ Ask Animal Companion to ◆Stride ◆twice
◆ Hunt Prey: Turtle Dragon
◆ Recall Nature +6

"You're welcome!" Nilaglade thinks as the merfolk and sailors scatter.

With the civilians out of the way, it's time to defend the area. He pulls out his shortbow, interested in how it will work underwater...

"These Sea Devils will enter a frenzy as soon as they smell blood." Nilaglade tells his teammates. "No chance to talk them out of it..."

Grandmaster Remendi catches his eye. Honestly, all of these undine catch his eye. Constant physical training pays off. They could probably bench press Deroff if they had the chance.

But the Grandmaster is right. No time for chitchat. "Hey, thanks for inviting us to join the hunt. We'll do our best."

Merfolk. Shiny tails. Everyone here is such a good swimmer. Nilaglade simply holds onto Deroff as the wolf paddles around.

The Dragon Turtle makes Nilaglade awestruck. It's so huge! But more importantly, they are scattering debris everywhere. Time for action!

Spectator Escort
Nilaglade turns to the lovely merfolk. "Hey! Come on! Shake those fins over here!"

Nilaglade's Diplomacy is +9. If someone has +9 or more, he will Aid them.

Survivor Rescue
After helping the merfolk, he tells Deroff to make a beeline to the sailor.
Nilaglade's Medicine is +6, Deroff's Athletics is a +7. If Deroff can make the check I'll let him use Athletics. Once again, if anyone has a higher bonus, Nilaglade/Deroff will aid instead.

Nilaglade hops off of Deroff, fluttering his wings to the ground as the team takes care of his wounds. Deroff enjoys all of the attention.

"Yeah, he can swim. The fins may not fit on him, though." Nilaglade checks his shortbow. "Huh. I... should be able to shoot while underwater, I think."

>Aquatic Rules< here. My shortbow & longbow are piercing, and my shortsword is Versatile Piercing.

I've done B20 with a different character, so maybe B18 and B19?

The same way my wooden sword got here, I reckon!

"So long, fish face." Nilaglade pets Deroff. "That's a nasty bite you got there."

Medicine: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Deroff heals: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 7) = 9

"Hopefully that helps a bit."

The athletic monks catch Nilaglade's attention. "Of course we'll help. I'm in the mood for fish, anyway." He spends a little bit too much time checking out their physique. "Deroff could use some swim practice- he's out of shape. Someone keeps managing to get his hand on some snacks."
