Orzworth's page

Hah! Malthus and I were there with the Herald for Returned to Sky - funny to end up chasing another piece of the Sky Key together.

I could be interested in playing another Sky Key scenario, but might have limited characters in range depending on the tier. Information on slide is correct, and email has been sent via PM.

Orzworth produces his rope. "Let us tie this one up - there is much he could tell the Society, and he has much pain and suffering to atone for." He bows to the kobolds and guardian. "We thank you for allowing us to aid in defending your home, but perhaps we should leave now. May we collect the body of our friend?" He points to the body under the collapsed stonework.

Orzworth approaches from behind Malthus, trying to help pin the agent. He tries to move carefully...

Acrobatics to Avoid AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

...but a loose stone underfoot distracts him. Regardless, he swings his fist and tries to stun the agent.

Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 (If hit, opponent is stunned for 1 round (Fortitude 14 negates))

Orzworth also watches from his station at the foot of the stairs.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Perception vs DC 10: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

"There is another opponent here," Orzworth states, stepping back towards the stairs.

Wait, spontaneous casters can use a Pearl of Power to get a spell slot back? I thought that item only worked for prepared casters.

Orzworth moves up the stairs and holds out a wand to Ferdrin. "It would help me keep you safe," he says.

Ideally, Orzworth can move up the stairs, have mage armor cast on him from the wand, then move back down to the base of the stairs.

Orzworth steps around the remaining opponent, saying nothing as his fists bruise without breaking.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Nonlethal Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Nonlethal Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

On mobile - can someone move 5 ft diagonal left-up?

Orzworth finishes making his way down the stairs from the elevated altar and takes up a position near Jerrid, wordlessly nodding his respect for his companion's swift blows.

Double move.

Orzworth moves carefully along the narrow shaft of the hammer, keeping himself between the folks at the altar and anyone entering the room.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Double move.

Looks like successes for 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 so far. 1 and 3 remain.

Orzworth slowly studies the first mural.

#1 - Knowledge (religion) vs DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

He remains silent.

”There is another of your tribe at the entrance,” Orzworth adds. ”He surrendered and we treated his wounds.

Diplomacy to Aid: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (1) - 3 = -2

Hah!

"Without knowing the identity of the man who caused the cave-in, we cannot say whether we are friends," Orzworth replies. "But did the symbol you speak of look like this?" He bends down to draw an oversized glyph of the open road on the floor.

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

"The honored mother spoke as if we simply need to break the talisman open," Orzworth says as he takes up a defensive position in front of Ferdrin. "As to why kobolds have taken up residence in this temple of Torag, I cannot say." He prepares to strike anyone threatening the mage behind him.

"Gardol, is the basilisk golden?" Orzworth calls out, uncertain if it is safe to look yet and not wishing to needlessly expose himself to danger.

”We were told the guardian was draconian in appearance, correct?” Orzworth cautions. ”This statue does not match that description.”

Orzworth waits for Gardol’s signal before moving the line of blindfolded individuals forward. He keeps an ear open for the sounds of anything approaching.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Since Orzworth volunteered to go first and lead the blindfolded, I've moved him to the front.

Orzworth volunteers to lead the party. "My family are miners," he says simply. "If I am to join the stone once more, so be it. I will be your eyes until then." He pulls out a length of rope from his backpack. "Hold onto this if you wish to walk while blindfolded. I will let you know if I see the monster."

"As for you," he says to the prisoner, "what name shall we call you by? And would you prefer to travel behind me, perhaps with a blindfold?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (20) - 3 = 17

"We are invading their home," Orzworth bluntly rebukes the Herald. "You would not still be alive if you would not strike back were the roles reversed. He may be our prisoner, but he is not to be mistreated."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

"He's lying," Orzworth says matter-of-factly as he pulls out his rope and healer's kit.

"Your friend is beyond my ability to help, but I can at least stop your bleeding and bind your wounds," he says in a softer (but still gruff) tone as he kneels down in front of the kobold.

Heal: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 21

Orzworth comes over and checks the dead kobold's pulse. "Dead," he says simply, then turns his attention to the still living one. "What can you tell us about the journey to the temple?"

Orzworth moves through the room to the opening Jerrid isn't working at and tries to squeeze through it.

Escape Artist vs DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Success, but that's both actions to stand on the other side of that wall.

Orzworth picks his way through the rubble and moves into the newly-opened room.

Double move

Orzworth moves to the nearest doorway and tries to open it. "We are not alone," he cautions the rest of the group.

Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Orzworth also looks around for anything dangerous. "Kobolds once lived here, and many times they'll defend their dwellings with traps," he cautions the group.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

GM, does the note about cracks mean there are some here, or just information we should be aware of should we find such a crack in our exploration of the ruins?

I don't really have a preference. Often the only bonuses for higher tier is gold though.

True - and it would only benefit the lvl 2’s since everyone else is getting out-of-tier gold anyways.

As a frontliner who would be out of tier, I personally would be worried about not being effective in high tier. But, if Ferdrin is willing to use my wand to keep mage armor active, I can at least be a flanking buddy (if nothing else).

Also, we don't have any characters even in the high tier (4-5). I forget if that's a requirement for rounding APL up or not, but it's worth pointing out.

I have not played that scenario.

”The stories of the Guardian go far into the past,” replies Orzeorth. ”It is most likely artificial in nature - hence the tool to neutralize it.”

Nothing new for Orzworth - ready to roll.

Does Threeknives have to make damage rolls against the ropes? Or is it written into the scenario?

Orzworth tries to put an end to combat before more people fall from the bridge and puts a bit more force behind his fist.

Stunning Fist, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22
Nonlethal Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
If the blow hits, Fortitude 14 to negate being stunned.

Unarmed Strike, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22
Nonlethal Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Orzworth follows up the ladder. He steps in front of Malthus, stating calmly, "I trust your sword to deflect other swords, but my hands can block projectiles."

Orzworth has the Deflect Arrows feat - should the blind Threeknives try to knock him off the bridge, Orzworth has a better chance of avoiding the Acrobatics check entirely.

Orzworth imitates Jerrid with a kick and a stomp. He puts a bit of extra force behind the first strike, hoping to stun the creature.

Stunning Blow, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26
Nonlethal Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Fortitude 14 to negate the stun (if the strike hits)

Unarmed Strike, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21
Nonlethal Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Orzworth punches and kicks at the panther, trying to figure out what happened to the grippli.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Nonlethal Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Nonlethal Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

If the first attack knocks out the panther (or if it is unconscious before Orzworth's attack), he will use his move action to head towards the ladder. If he has the actions, he will set it up - holding it in place so that it can't be knocked down easily.

Climb: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 23

Orzworth takes to the cliff. If I can make a path, hang a rope, it would help everyone else climb that much faster, he thinks to himself.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 2 = 15

Orzworth uses his momentum to spin and kick at one of the Aspis agents.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 2 = 7

The egg gets in the way as Orzworth tries to follow Malthus and the Herald.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 2 = 9

Orzworth tries to help the Herald, but he is distracted by almost dropping his egg.

Swim: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 2 = 16

Even cradling an egg under one arm, Orzworth is a decent swimmer.

Fend Her Off: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 2 = 18

Egg cradled in his hands, Orzworth spins and kicks at the beast as it approaches before fleeing once more.

Remember that each person can pick either check and still aid the highest roll, whichever check it happens to be.

Orzworth also tries to go around the rubble.

Survival: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 2 = 17

For this chase sequence, do you want everyone to make the same check or does an "aid" in one check help the other too?

For example, if Malthus makes a Survival check and gets a 17, and Orzworth makes a Strength check and gets a 14. Would the 14 aid the 17, or would only another Survival check aid a high Survival check?

Orzworth also tries to move away swiftly from the dinosaur, but his steadiness keeps him from moving as swiftly as the rest of the party.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 - 2 = 19

Orzworth studies the area as well. "There are more spears here than two lizardfolk would suggest," he says softly. "If there were more of them here recently, I doubt they left without good reason - or would not plan to return here soon." He turns to the Herald. "If there are signs of magic nearby, we should collect any such items quickly before departing." He scoops up one of the eggs and prepares to leave.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Orzworth moves out of the underbrush into position between Malthus and the Herald and tries to subdue the lower lizard creature.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25 (Using Moment of Greatness)
Nonlethal Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Previously:

Orzworth accepts the potion from Jerrid as he reads the note. "Was this man killed by the ants, or by his companions?" he wonders.

Currently:

Orzworth moves forward and into the underbrush, pulling out his sling as he does so. He quietly loads his sling as he searches for the source of the sound.

Move and draw sling (stealth) as move action, load sling as move action

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Orzworth leaves the magical things to those more interested in such stuff. He studies the body, trying to determine how long it has been here.

Heal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

"A hidden pocket?" he wonders out loud. "Perhaps whatever is inside was not damaged by the ants."

Ferdrin should still be able to move (unless these ants' distraction is beyond the normal scope of nauseation.

Orzworth moves out of the swarm, pulling out his second bottle of acid. "Ferdrin, move," he says, waiting for his companion to clear the splash zone before tossing the flask at the swarm.

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

If someone would have taken Orzworth's other bottle of acid to use, just say so.

As Fendel casts his spell, Orzworth moves into position as well. Once he has a clear shot to the swarm, he tosses his bottle of acid into it.

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
