Orgar's page

Hi, Everyone!

First off, apologies for leaving anyone in the lurch by my weeks-long absence. Unfortunately, it’s my turn for that “real life” stuff to get in the way of all my fun. *sigh*

Between the time spent on my studies and other commitments, I simply have neither the energy nor the wherewithal to carry on with role-playing. Sadly, this means that I have to take a hiatus from role-playing. A real shame, as it is one of my favorite pastimes. I sat down and had a good think about it, but this is for the best, as my studies have to come first.

Playing with everyone here has been a pleasure. I always enjoyed seeing how the stories we collaborated on in the RPG environment move along nicely. It has been a pleasure and an honor playing with everyone here. I wish I was able to continue, but it would be profoundly unfair to everyone else (players and GM) if I could only commit to a sporadic appearance at best.

As the Romans would say: “Valete!” (all of you be strong/be well/farewell)

--------------------

PS: @ DM Varial: feel free to bot Orgar as you see fit until someone else can fill his shoes.

Orgar will look at the knick-knacks the ravens deposited on the floor and cast a spell:
« აღმოაჩინე ჯადოსნური » . . "detect magic", in draconic

... and then tries to see if any of them might be magical

spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 ... if needed

I too am broke, and ready to proceed. At least we have some way to contact the Mercane when we've got some cash to splash ...

No problem. I'd do the same if it were my mum.

"I agree with Jetro. That does sound useful."

I don't think Orgar has any cash on hand at the moment...

Finally snapping out of his dominated state, Orgar can't stop apologising enough to Cynehelm...

"... it was a nightmare; watching myself doing what I didn't want to do...
"... thank the gods Zilvazaraat here could bring you back to us ..."
(etcetera, etcetera)

Orgar will also use his own Wand of Cure Light Wounds to help Cynehelm along a bit:
use magic device, Wand of CLW: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 331d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
use magic device, Wand of CLW: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 231d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
use magic device, Wand of CLW: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 251d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
use magic device, Wand of CLW: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 281d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
use magic device, Wand of CLW: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 221d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Total of 21 HP, not a huge amount, but it's the least Orgar can do to help his friend

Merry Christmas, All!

(Sorry for the absence; been busy wrapped up in all manner of real life stuff lately)

Will: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20

@ DM Variel: Is this to snap out of the domination?

Oh Bugger! Sorry Cynehelm. :(

Orgar..while true you are not confused you are still dominated and told to go after Cynehelm. Mwahaha

rats!

Round 10

Orgar, still not in control of himself, attacks Cynehelm (again):

issar (+1 scimitar): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
damage: 1d6 + 11 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 11 + (6) = 22

issar (+1 scimitar): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
damage: 1d6 + 11 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 11 + (6) = 23

bab +17/+12, damage 1d6+11+1d6 acid, 15-20/x2

@ DM Variel: If this is round 10, then my eldritch pool effects should stop as of round 11?
And my Greater Invisibility should end soon too, shouldn't it? (1 round/level)

is I confused?: 1d100 ⇒ 13 ... 01–25 Act normally Muahahaha!

Round 8 ... I think; it's all a blur

Orgar snaps out the confusion long enough to come after the Leng denizen, with murderous intent:

issar (+1 scimitar): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
damage: 1d6 + 11 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 11 + (3) = 20

issar (+1 scimitar): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 11 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 11 + (4) = 20

bab +17/+12, damage 1d6+11+1d6 acid, 15-20/x2

Phew! You were right, Duardlara!
There's a relief! So, rather than trying to cut Cynehelm up, Orgar is feeling so guilty he tries cutting himself instead!

self harm: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Hooray! Low roll when wanted, too!

@ DM Variel: Thanks; I thought that was just a one off...

Will, dc 22: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 … *sigh*

Round 7 (?)

Still under the control of the Leng denizen, Orgar attacks the priest again:

issar (+1 scimitar): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
to confirm: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
damage: 2d6 + 22 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 22 + (2) = 31

issar (+1 scimitar): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 11 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 11 + (6) = 23

bab +17/+12, damage 1d6+11+1d6 acid, 15-20/x2

At least I got ONE bad roll!
Just when I wanted ALL bad rolls for once too...

Sorry, all, I did make a post late last night. I don't know where it got to! :P

Will: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13
including Cynehelm's protection from evil bonus

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Uh-oh! Looks like my round 4 attacks are directed at Cynehelm instead :P

Round 4

Somewhat annoyed that there are (apparently) two Leng denizens, Orgar steps up the the on further in the hallway and slashes at that one using Issar, and also tries burning him/it with a pool strike (fire damage):

issar (+1 scimitar): 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 17 - 2 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 11 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 11 + (1) = 17

issar (+1 scimitar): 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 2 = 12
damage: 1d6 + 11 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 11 + (2) = 14

pool strike: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 15 - 2 = 25
fire damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 3) = 12

So much for my brilliant use of an invisibility spell!
Oh well, doesn't hurt to try.

@ DM Variel: did Greta manage to finish off the one Leng denizen that was down?

Round 3

Satisfied that Greta has the first Leng denizen well taken care of, Orgar just says "Good time to look for the other one."

And with that he casts a spell on himself: « დიდი უხილავი » . . "greater invisibility", in draconic

He promptly vanishes and goes looking for the other Leng creature.

Round 2 (or 3?)

Coming out of his stupor, thanks to Helgash, Orgar moves up and attacks the nearest enemy (the man from Leng in room A7):

issar (+1 scimitar): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
damage: 1d6 + 11 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 11 + (4) = 21

issar (+1 scimitar): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
damage: 1d6 + 11 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 11 + (6) = 19
issar (to confirm): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
extra damage, if confirmed: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

bab +16/+11, damage 1d6+11+1d6 acid, 15-20/x2

@ DM Variel: If I lost round 2's actions due to being fascinated (briefly), that will be my round 3 action.
Unless the situation changes dramatically in a hurry...

Round 2 (remastered sort of thing)

Will (dc 17): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Figures!

lately some of my posts disappear until I hit refresh

Round 2

Orgar will run outside with the others
acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 (If needed to dodge anything)

Round 1
Orgar will draw on some of his eldritch energy to enhance his scimitar, Issar ...

"What are we up against, Helgash?"

Orgar keeps his silence for now.
He has his doubts about all this, though.

Orgar shrugs.

"Why two at a time? Is the room small, or is your master big?"

Try peaceful like; then the gloves are off if we're attacked!

my know (dungeoneering) bonus isn't good enough for that.
oh well.

"Thanks for the offer, Duardlara, but I prefer the finesse of my scimitar."

Apologies for my absence, everyone. Got totally wrapped up in my studies (including three midterm tests), and a couple of fiddly computer problems.

I should be good to go now...

@ DM Varial: that sounds totally reasonable to me!

"Sounds, um … interesting. Does this mean we have to know exactly what key we need for find first?"

"What sort of keys would you need for a cauldron anyway?"

"We could definitely use a guide!"

Sorry for my delay.
Out of town for my Mum's birthday and a wake as well.

"Agreed; we could all use a kip before carrying on.
"I can take the first watch, if you like Duardlara."

Partly because I don't need to read a spell book, etc.
But mostly because I've only used one spell, so I'm still pretty fresh.

"Sounds good to me too.
"I doubt it could chase us anyway.
"Being a plant and all."

"Quite likely" Orgar adds, and readies his own bow.

perception, to aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Just to do my bit!

"Well, if it won't go off, we may as well cart it about.
"Could be good for information if Cynehelm can revive it."

I hope it stays stable too...

Oh well, at least it gave me a chance to review ancient Greek and Latin grammar a bit more the last couple of weeks (like, big whoop, eh?)

AND I even got to hang out in the dentist's office for another root canal! Oh joy, oh rapture! :P

know(religion), untrained to aid: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 … if allowed

Seems to back up now (fingers crossed)

Round 2
Orgar will stay where he is, and pass on some of his arcane energy into his bow, olchur ...

olchur, 1 of 3 (+1 composite longbow): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
olchur, 1 of 3 to confirm: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 … maybe?
olchur, 2 of 3 (+1 composite longbow): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
olchur, 3 of 3 (+1 composite longbow): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

damage, 1 of 3: 3d8 + 15 ⇒ (7, 5, 5) + 15 = 32 … or 12 if id din't actually crit
damage, 2 of 3: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
damage, 3 of 3: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

@ DM Variel: I hope I got the maths all correct there...

You should both have the benefits of Haste too, if I didn't err with my turn's action.

Round 1
Orgar will step back 5 ft from the creature and cast a spell: « დაჩქარება » . . "haste", in draconic
With which he tries to speed up himself and his friends.

@ DM Variel: don't see a map with icons to work with.
My cunning plan is to try and get everyone with the benefits of Haste.

Hope you get that all sorted out!

knowledge (dungeoneering): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 … almost!

"Everyone else we meet seems keen to attack us. So why not a cat?" Orgar thinks as he waits to see what happens next.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
