Othello Verese's page

The creature is huge, therefore, it is 3x3x3. At least one of the 1x1x1 cubes making up the creature's space is flanked by my allies on the ground. But, you're the GM. Your rules.

I investigated the rules a bit further. The consensus is that the imaginary line between two allies must go through 'opposite' sides of the foe. Othello now knows this. As does his controller, me.

* Othello flies west above the Ooze, to a point where he is likely providing flanking to everyone within melee range.

* Strike with +2 Striking Disrupting Ghost Touch Wounding Halberd w/Anthem: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 19 + 1 = 21for: 2d10 + 5 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 5 + 3 + 1 = 15
If the ooze is unholy, then it takes an additional 1 damage. 1d6 Persistent Bleed from Wounding.

* Strike with +2 Striking Disrupting Ghost Touch Wounding Halberd w/Anthem: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 19 + 1 - 5 = 31for: 2d10 + 5 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4, 7) + 5 + 3 + 1 = 20
If the ooze is unholy, then it takes an additional 1 damage. 1d6 Persistent Bleed from Wounding.

* Fly closer to the Ooze (still 25 feet up in the air) This will provoke a reaction as Othello moves from 15 to 10 feet from the ooze.

* Strike with +2 Striking Disrupting Ghost Touch Wounding Halberd: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35for: 2d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (1, 10) + 5 + 3 = 19 If the ooze is unholy, then it takes an additional 1 damage. 1d6 Persistent Bleed from Wounding.

* Strike with +2 Striking Disrupting Ghost Touch Wounding Halberd: 1d20 + 19 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 19 - 5 = 27for: 2d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (3, 7) + 5 + 3 = 18 If the ooze is unholy, then it takes an additional 1 damage. 1d6 Persistent Bleed from Wounding.

Othello Smites the ooze, and flies twenty-five feet up and somewhat closer to the ooze.

Othello is ready. If possible, he will cast Fly on himself the turn before the battle starts.

"I don't know how you can figure any of this out. Jakoby, I'm following you."

Follow the Expert. Jacoby is Master in Survival, so, +3. I'm level 10, so +10: 1d20 + 2 + 3 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 3 + 10 = 31

I will use the glimpse on the first successful attack on an ally from the Chimera

◆ Smite the Yellow

◆ Stride

◆ Strike with Disrupting, Wounding, Ghost Touch +2 Striking Halberd w/Anthem: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 19 + 1 = 22for: 2d10 + 5 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8, 9) + 5 + 3 + 1 = 26 and an additional +1 if the Chimera is Unholy

If the hawk was within 15 feet of me, then, I would have done a Glimpse of Redemption on the Chimera. 12 less damage to the hawk and the Chimera is Enfeebled 2 for one round -- that means less damage to me <<grin>>

◆ Smite the Red

◆ Strike with Disrupting, Wounding, Ghost Touch +2 Striking Halberd w/Anthem: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 1 = 30for: 2d10 + 5 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2) + 5 + 3 + 1 = 17 and an additional +1 if it is Unholy

◆◆ Stride twice

◆ Bon Mot at Red vs Will DC: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

No daily prep to do.

I will be completely offline this Friday through Monday.

If someone hits Nina, Othello will Glimpse of Redemption that hit. If they Refuse, this will prevent 12 points of the damage, and the attacker will get 4 persistent spirit damage and be Enfeebled 2.

"I'll protect you, sister."

Change third action to:

Strike Blue, w/sickened 1: 1d20 + 19 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 19 - 1 = 38for: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (10, 10) + 5 = 25

◆ "Uiwlk sll ipbls!!"

◆ Fly over next to Blue five feet above the ground.

◆ Lay on hands to Nina for 30 points (and +2 to AC)

Critical damage: 2d10 + 5 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 5 + 1 + 3 = 14 and force him five feet east to be directly under Othello

◆ Strike Blue: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 1 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 19 + 1 - 1 - 5 = 21for: 2d10 + 5 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (7, 2) + 5 + 1 + 3 = 18 and Wounding

If he happens to be Unholy, then the '+3' in each of the damages becomes a '+4'

"If you need to blast them, and I'm in the area, don't worry about it. I can take it. And, I should be able to heal myself if necessary," Othello shouts.

Fort Save DC 27: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

Othello will fly up ten feet and over near the Heirophant. This is out of normal melee reach, but, the Heirophant doesn't have cover from me.

Strike the blue Heirophant, Sickened 1: 1d20 + 19 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 19 - 1 = 20

Not understanding that it was a joke, Othello says, "Jakoby, I'll remind you that even Devils can be redeemed."

If possible, immediately before the encounter begins, Othello will cast Fly on himself.

Medicine to Vibrate the Oozes: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26

Othello will go over to the Acid-spewing nozzles and figure out just how to make the acid tolerable, if not completely innocuous.

Medicine: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34

"And, what do we know about oozes? Anyone?"

"What can you tell us about Fleshforger Palovar? If we are to work for him, it behooves us to know what his likes and dislikes are. You've mentioned he is impatient. What are his interests?"

A Taldan man with a pronounced Widow's Peak approaches. A halberd is strapped to his back, and he carries a healer's toolkit at his waist.

"I'm Othello. It's unlikely we'll be finding lost souls to encourage to redemption. But, I'm sure we can all qualify."

Othello takes a breath, and is sickened by the smell and taste.

He will attack Red until it falls. (If it falls, then attack White)

Othello will file the appropriate paperwork and make sure all contracts are legal and notarized.

Othello will attack White first, then, if White drops, attack Pink.

4 left for holding breath

If White died from the first strike, then the third strike (a Nat 20) will, on the critical, shove Pink to where White was.

Othello will begin holding his breath. 8 rounds available

Othello will strike at Red, then if Red is down, White.

Othello will respond with a Glimpse of Redemption to the longsword attack vs Quinoline making the attacker either do no damage or do 12 less damage and be enfeebled 2 until the end of its next turn.

Othello will attack red, then yellow if red drops.

You want to HP the flat check and not waste the Nat 20?

Nope. I tend to save Hero Points for nat 1's on saves.

We've got time <<grin>>

Othello will cast Fly, and will fly diagonally up. Currently, 15 feet above where he started and 15 feet southwest. Please let me know if he has cleared the rocks.

Othello was built to be a healer -- he just happens to be a good front-liner.

But Yellow's not within 15 feet of you... Unless the rules are different for the remaster (AoN isn't updated yet)

D'oh! You're right, of course. I read the map wrong...
