Oloch, Warpriest's page

Thanks, DMK, for another fun game. As far as the Brawler being a poor match, that's one thing I would like to figure out: how can I know, short of going and buying the scenarios myself, whether a particular character (or some boon, perhaps) is going to be all but useless?

Heh, sorry - ninja'd by DMK, didn't see the cessation of hostilities. I'm more than willing to retcon the assault if DMK is...

Sorry, Shandor's right - Oloch will use the remainder of his movement last round to flank with Kress, if that's okay.

Oloch utters a quick prayer to Gorum, causing his greatsword to burst into flames. He swings it at the wood golem with preternatural speed, attacking twice in the time it would normally take him to swing the massive blade once.

Swift action: Activate Sacred Armor (+1 enhancement, 9 rounds remaining) and Sacred Weapon (Flaming, 6 rounds remaining)
Full-round action: Attack wood golem (extra attack from Haste)
Attack (+2 Greatsword, Haste, Bless, Power Attack (Furious Focus), Flanking): 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 20
Damage (+2 Greatsword, Power Attack, Flaming): 2d6 + 11 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 11 + 6 + (4) = 26

Attack (+2 Greatsword, Haste, Bless, Power Attack, Flanking): 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 1 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 16
Damage (+2 Greatsword, Power Attack, Flaming): 2d6 + 11 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 11 + 6 + (5) = 28

Wow...what horrible rolls...

Oloch moves into position, greatsword held in front of him.

Full-round action: Double move, as indicated on map

*sigh* Full plate does not for a fast warrior make.

Upon being grappled, Oloch immediately casts a spell and slips from Badru's grasp.

Immediate action: Cast liberating command
Escape Artist (ACP, Liberating Command): 1d20 + 1 - 5 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 1 - 5 + 14 = 30

Assuming that works...

Once free, Oloch takes his greatsword and swings it at the construct.
Standard action: Attack Badru
Attack (+2 Greatsword, Power Attack): 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 - 2 = 26
Damage (+2 Greatsword, Power Attack): 2d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 11 + 6 = 23

Ditto being interested, but as the others have said - without a definite goal/bad guy/whatever, and without combat driving action, things do seem to slow down considerably in PbP

Seeing his comrades' intent, and likely unable to dissuade them at this point, Oloch quickly casts a spell and moves into combat, swinging his greatsword at Badru.

Swift action: Cast grace
Move action: As indicated on map
Standard action: Attack Badru
Attack (+2 Greatsword, Power Attack): 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 - 2 = 24
Damage (+2 Greatsword, Power Attack): 2d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 11 + 6 = 24

Oloch grunts (again). "You say that getting rid of Badru will please her, but it sounded to me like she was wishing for death to take her, after all this time in this state."

Heading down the stairs, he sees the tunnel and draws his greatsword. "I think that whatever made that tunnel is likely what's destroying the collection. Let's find it quickly."

Heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Oloch grunts, disinterested; he does not realize the importance of the find.

Sorry, guys - work's kicking my butt this week.

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Oloch grunts, "I think we should still hold judgement. We do not know enough about either of them to be able to make an educated decision."

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Oloch grunts, "Yes, I'm sure he'll be thrilled."

Oloch follows Shandor down the hall. Heading to A6.

Will Save (A10, northern door): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Will Save (A10, southern door): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Will Save (A8): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Will Save (A7): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Gorum save me from know-it-alls. Give me a good blade and a body to swing it at... Oloch grunts and waits for the others to finish their ruminations.

Will Save (Takahiro): 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 4 = 18

Oloch, apparently, isn't convinced...

Oloch nods, "We need to get going, fog or no, if we're going to save the collection."

Oloch nods. "Battle without purpose is wasted. Let us continue and find that purpose below."

"I think we can stand assured that Badru is still loyal to the Jewelled Sages. Saruna, however, is bitter and resentful of the Sages, due to some apparent wrongdoing. I don't really trust either of them, but perhaps more information would be helpful." He proceeds to direct a question to Saruna, either directly or through Hagnar. "What have the Jewelled Sages done to anger you so?" To Badru, he asks, "What has Saruna done, that you would call her disloyal?"

Oh, sorry - didn't realize I needed separate rolls...that was for Badru

Sense Motive (Saruna): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

"If only we knew which was to be believed." Oloch mutters, as he tries to peer inside the hearts of each.

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 - to know whether they might be inherently evil, or if there's a way to have a "good" mummy.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Oloch stands still, confused by the lack of further combat, and wonders where he should next plant his blade.

Will Save (Disbelieve): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Affected by: Deadly Juggernaut, Haste

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"There's a mummified creature behind an illusory wall to the east!" Oloch bellows as, hastened by Shandor's spell, he moves forward and engages the large fire creature.

Full-round action: Charge elemental
Attack (+2 Greatsword, Power Attack (Furious Focus), Haste, Charge): 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 23 (possibly +2 flanking?)
Damage (+2 Greatsword, Power Attack): 2d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 11 + 6 = 25

Will Save (Disbelieve, audible commands modifier): 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 4 = 33

Oloch casts a spell as he moves forward to engage the elemental.

Standard action: Cast deadly juggernaut
Move action: As indicated on map

Oloch heads east as well, drawing his greatsword as he moves. "Fleeting life, eternal memory...sounds like the sort of foolishness that prompts some to turn to necromancy..."

Oloch nods, "We will do this thing for you...and we'll try not to break too many priceless artifacts." At his feeble attempt at humor, Oloch's face splits into a grin that would cause small children to flee in terror. He proceeds to check his armor and straps, confirming that he is ready to proceed.
