I'm very sorry for the absence. However, we're having some complications with my daughter and I'm putting all my attention there. I'm unsure when I'll be able to make the time for gaming in the near future. I'm very sorry to bail on you at this stage of the game, but it is what my family needs right now. Best of luck and I hope I haven't spoiled the campaign. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and was having a terrific time. Ptahh aka John
"Bah... never can use too much force!" Ptahh presses the attack against the wereshark.
Ptahh steps forward to N17 and attacks the shark Sorrin is flanking with him.
Ptahh attacks the wereshark with his long sword.
Ptahh roars at the wereshark, "Bring it on, foul beast!!!"
Hey. Sorry for the radio silence. My Daughter was delivered on Saturday, the 22nd, eight weeks early. She's in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unity for the next month or so. My wife had some complications but is doing better now. We think she will be able to go home this weekend. I've been staying at the hospital with her and my daughter and haven't had time to do much but take care of and sit with them. If you feel it would be better to replace me, I totally understand. Otherwise, I hope to be active on the boards again by next Monday. John aka Ptahh
My wife, who is 30 weeks pregnant was admitted to the hospital today. All is fine, but my posting may be more sporadic than normal. Please DMPC me as necessary.
Ptah kneels over the gargoyle and ends its existence.
Ptahh moves to engage the gargoyle attacking Sorrin.
Ptahh draws his falchion as he swims over, shifting his grip to attack as a piercing weapon and thrusts the falchion at the Gargoyle.
Yes, backswing was included in the longspear rolls... but, I totally forgot about Weapon Versatility. Ptahh is the first character I've ever used that feat, and it hadn't come up yet. I should be able to use my falchion as a piercing weapon and avoid all of the penalties, I think. If that is the case, my attack bonus on each attack would be +2 greater, and my damage would go from 1d8+16 to 2d4+18. I'll switch weapons next round.
Ptahh stabs at the undead beast as it passes him to get at Chell.
He then attacks the beast.
I only take a -1 to hit underwater due to a trait. And if I can only use 1 hand on the spear I lose a bit of damage bonus due to not using PA and other feats. Also, I'm curious about what this spear is, so that if/when I use it, I can calculate damage properly. Unless, I totally missed something, I hadn't heard about any spear being found by the party. I'm assumming it was found prior to my arrival.
Thanks... last question. What is the Spear that Chell was handing me? Magical properties? Because I might be better off with my Earthbreaker against the skeletal whale.
Does piercing, the spear that Chell wanted to hand to me, have the same penalties?
Ok, I'll move to intercept the whale and you help sorrin with the gargoyles. Forgetting the DR for a moment, is there any other penalty for slashing vs. piercing... other than the 1/2 damage for being under water?
Well, want me to step to the gargoyles and give Sorrin flank or intercept the whale?
Ptahh moves to the SE to intercept the gargoyles.
"This isn't going to end well." Ptahh says as he readies his silver long sword and his shield.
Absolutely interested. My summer has been busier than normal as well between work and my 7-month pregnant wife.We're in a new house so the "nesting" desire has been high. Lots of projects for me.
" Tasty ribs with the stout ale!" the half-orc chuckles then takes a deep breath and grips his Falchion tight as he prepares to head outside.
"Yes... thank you," he smiles at Chell.
Ptahh grins as he looks up at the young priestess on the ladder. "Damn... remind me never to come back as walking dead and piss off Chell!" he says with a chuckle. The half-orc strides over to one of the dead zombies and pulling his silver longsword from its vanquished body, he sheathes the weapon.
Ptahh curses his falchion and readies himself for another attack by the undead beast.
Ptahh roars at the undead creature and swings his falchion with all his might.
Ptahh hurls his long sword at the other zombie before preparing to leap off the ladder to battle the grotesque undead creature.
Ptahh nods at Astrianna and descends the ladder.
Ptahh moves to the top of the stairs and peers down at the bodies. "I would gueess they are the victims of the zombies, but can't be too sure." Ptahh sheaths his falchion and draws out his silver long sword while securing his shield to his offhand.
Ptahh stands at the ready with his weapon drawn but in a non-threatening manner.
The only way to make additional attacks I can come up with is AOO's, so,, in that case the rogue doesn't get the SA damage on the AOO's (which seems correct & reasonable)... or if the movement was part of a swift action, like a 'shift' from a teleportation specialist wizard. So, the rogue is teleported and gets a full round of attacks, the SA damage is only applied to the first attack... unless some other condition, like flank, allows for the SA damage. Not sure if either of those scenarios can actually occur, but they were the first possibilities to pop into my mind.
Upon hearing the screeches of the wyverns, Ptahh runs outside and takes a defensive posture between Chell and the wyverns on the lighthouse. Seeing just two of them, he takes a few quick peeks about the sky in different directions to see if he can locate the third. "Where is the third wyvern? I'm sure it heard the screeches just as we did!"
"Chell, figure something out quick! This thing is throwing out some serious flames and I don't like fire much."
Ptahh roars at the face of the burning child and thrusts his falchion through the flames. "Return to wherever you came from!'
The half-orc dances with the flaming sphere avoiding it's reach.
** spoiler omitted **
Baldwin: I meant to attack what ever was in the fireplace... not the flaming sphere.
Baldwin:
Making sure I understand... something is forming in the fireplace and has sent a flaming sphere at me. Is it coalesced into something attackable or is it still forming?Assuming it is attackable, I'll charge it and attack. "Look out!"
Good Luck, Astri.
Ptahh stays outside the room keeping a vigilant watch back at the main room. Hearing Astri speak, he glances in her direction. Seems she found someone... Looking back to the main room, he notes that the trap door is now covered again by the rug. Thtat was smart... keep the rug covering it in case someone comes from that direction; it will slow them down... uh... wait a minute, I don't recall Astri smoothing out the rug. I'm sure it was still flipped over a moment ago. "Did someone smooth out the rug over the trap door? " Ptahh calls out, "Sorrin, this way!", and moves back towards the main room with his falchion leading the way.
I have Improved Critical feat with my falchion. So, I'm already criting 15-20 with it. ;)
ok, thanks.
Ptahh follows on the heels of Astrianna making sure to stay within arms reach of the bard.
