If Danger Sense works, then that's 5d6 damage. Otherwise it's 6d6.
Even if Danger Sense works, that's enough damage to bring Odan to negative in his hit points, which is instant death.
Ok, whew. I thought I had it completely wrong for my own rogue in another game.
Why does grapple prevent sneak attack? I'm still threatening it.
Argh! Odan exclaims as he starts raging.
Odan launches a javelin, them charges with his axe.
Odan adjusts his grip on his axe handle. Yup. Let's go.
Odan sheds a small tear for the little froggie, pulls up his britches a bit, and moves on. Where there's a guard frog, there's a master. Let's be cautious.
Well, damn, Odan says. As much as I like these critters, sometimes you gotta put them down.
Not wanting to harm the little beastie, Odan tries walking around it, while offering soothing words. It's alright, little fellow.
Seeing the collar, Odan looks around for the owner.
Odan opens the door.
Odan heads for the door, ready to open it.
We have not. Are you experienced in war? If not, I'd like you to stay in the back and out of danger, until we can get you back home. Grab any weapon you find here, that may serve better than a brick. Or take one if mine, any one.
A prisoner? I was not expecting that. Who are you?
Let's quickly and quietly open the door, sneak up on him. Odan whispers.
Oh good, more things to test my mettle. Odan runs up with his Battleaxe, attacking recklessly.
Yup. Odan says confidently. Then he heads into the room with the intention of killing them in their sleep.
I bet there's something vicious down there. Who wants to find out?
Sounds good to me, Odan says, and he heads downstairs to start dismantling the trap.
Fine, fine. Have it your way. Let's go check the room with the trap.
Are there any valuables in there? Odan enquires.
If it's medium size or smaller, yes. You can always just increase the size. Also, I'm really tempted to yell in game, "SEE ANYTHING IN THERE?" :)
Hrmph, grumbles Odan. Let's see what's around. Odan takes a look at what can be looted.
What's your policy on leveling while low on HP?
Hack n slash doesn't bother me, I was just expecting it to be more than three fights. :) Moving forward, I'm good with any of the options above. Level 2 stuff:
Odan attacks again!
Ouch! Odan strikes back at the flaming skeleton.
If the attack just enough to destroy it, then he'll stay to fight the second. If not, he'll move back into the stairwell.
Odan can't pick locks, but he can always smash the door down.
Odan kicks around the junk on the floor. This stuff ought to be good for a few pennies back in Absalom. Well, which way?
Odan bursts out laughing.
I'm not sure I can kill something that pathetic! he says, still laughing. Dear god, my sides are hurting!
Odan has absolutely no idea what these foul things are. He rushes headlong into them, axe held high.
With a grunt to himself, Odan tries to kick the door in.
And give away our tactical advantage? Are you mad? Odan inquires in a rough whisper. From there, he tries to open the door as quietly as he can.
Odan waves the rest of the party over, and puts one finger over his mouth in the sign of Be Quiet.
Odan, having the constitution of a ... erm ... Dwarf, moves in to find the source of the foul scent.
Be free, my friend, Odan says as the critter runs away.
I thank you, friend, for giving it a chance. Odan takes out some dried meats, as well, and tosses it to the lizard. Hey there, little beastie. Is all right. It was just a misunderstanding, that's all.
A bit more anger enters his voice than he'd like. Oadan can't help but wear his heart on his sleeve. Well! Be quick about it. We've already hurt the little guy; put him out of his misery.
Aw, it's just a little beastie, Odan says, visibly relaxing, while dropping his javelin arm. But as soon as his companions start shooting at it, his heart breaks. No! He shouts in his own mind. As the "dust in the air" causes his eye to water, he asks, quietly, Why? He just wanted a little attention. Maybe a scratch behind the ears...
