"Resolute"'s page

Thanks for everything!!

Resolute catches his breath before leaping the pit and going about setting the planks down so others can cross more easily.

"What a strange Necromancer... I never witnessed him casting a single spell."

ConQuest Avalon starts today, so even if we did continue through the weekend I might only be able to post once a day.

That Acrobatics check clears the pit (DC 10).

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Type?: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Do you want us to roll for boons before the conclusion tomorrow?

"I must remember to visit my homeland and pick up a well crafted longbow after this ordeal."

Free Action: last round of Rage.

Resolute draws and hurls a second Javelin towards the unprotected Necromancer.

Javelin, Cover: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 4 = 17
Piercing, Rage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

"This corruption knows no end!"

Resolute pulls out a javelin with his free hand and lets it fly towards the "woman".

Javelin, in melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 4 = 19
Piercing Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Resolute grits his teeth.

"Not... Today... Temptre..."

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

5 Star Reroll: 1d20 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 5 = 14

"...ss!"

"Whatever and whenever you need of me, it is my honor to serve."

Resolute lowers his rope, waits until Warren grabs hold, and gently pulls her up.

Cool. That'll be my next round's action.

If she's Staggered, could she just hold on to the end of the rope and I pull her up?

Could I have attempted a Reflex save to catch her... Nevermind. Both hands were occupied =\

Resolute looks futilely between chasing the culprit, protecting his allies, and rescuing the fallen Halfling. After mere moments, he makes up his mind.

"We must all stick together. A people divided, are a people defeated."

Resolute drops his hammer, pulls out a rope, and lowers it for Warren below.

"Grab hold! I will pull you up!"

Same action.

"Leave one vermin alive and it will breed more before it returns."

"Thank you for clearing the way, Mariner," Resolute says calmly as he begins pursuit of the Necromancer.

A double move puts me on this side of the pit, since I don't have enough movement to jump across it.

Resolute visibly clenches his teeth.

"Abominable. Your 'busy work' is over, Necromancer. Surrender and come back to the surface with us. Your defilement cannot be allowed to continue."

Does this game conclude on a specific date for Gameday? Or do we play all the way through?

I don't have any plans for this character in particular, but I try to limit myself to no more than 3 Play-By-Posts at a time and was curious if I should keep an eye out for the next one.

Concur =)

"Hopefully something with a little more life to them. I am anxious to discover this... 'Necromancer'."

Keep moving until we find something/someone.

Don't forget Sneak Attack!

I'll help set up a Flank for the next person; can someone please move me diagonally/behind to the left of the zombie?

Attempt to Trip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

"Less chance it'll harm anyone down there."

"Somewhere, possibly in this very crypt, a sadistic architect is laughing from beyond the grave."

Resolute explores the new passageway.

I took advantage of the short stint at my actual computer to move my token next to the doors.

As the group approaches the doors Resolute helps look for any tell tale signs of traps.

Perception, Aid Another: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Resolute straps the polearm to his back and returns to Hammer and Shield before continuing on as well.

The hopes and dreams of their players.

Or Darkmantle calamari...

Although most of my characters do carry food, I think in my haste to build this character I forgot to do so.

Luckily you can go up to 3 days without food and not suffer any adverse reactions. Water is every day, but we have a Cleric who can create water.

"This ossuary is expansive, and likely still guarded by other denizens. Perhaps explore for a easily defensible location and bed down for a bit?"

Damage tally:

• Resolute: (–14)(–3)(+3)(+3)(–4) = 08/23
• Jack: (–6)(+3) = 15/18
• Dave (–6)(+3) = 09/12
• Warren (–3) = 06/09

Equals 6 wand charges. Remaining totals:

• Resolute: 41
• Dale: 42
• TwoBlades: 42

Puts everyone back to full.

Erk, apologies =\

Aren't they AC 14 without their Shields?

Ah. Gotcha.

If someone could please five foot step me into a Flank with Jack that would be much appreciated ^_^

Hammer, Flank, Rage: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 14
Bludgeoning, 2H, Rage: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

Dave is currently at 9hp (-6 skeleton and +3 two blades)

You were at full health when TwoBlades channeled, and then you were hit for 6 damage.

Keeping track of hit points lost/regained in this fight so far:

• Resolute: (–14)(–3)(+3)(+3)(–4) = 08/23
• Jack: (–6)(+3) = 15/18
• TwoBlades: (–4)
• Dave (–6) = 06/12

Right on both accounts. I went to go link the Acrobatics FAQ and I think I've been getting the "once per foe" mixed up.

Two AoOs please ^_^

AC 17.

"Ndinokutendai nekugadzirisa mavanga angu. Ndinokumbira ruregerero kuti zvimwe zvinoda kudiwa."

Resolute advances forward.

"We must endeavor to end this!"

Imagine as he cinematically drops his polearm, rushes through Dave/Warren/Jack, acrobatically dodges in between the two skeletons and ends up Flanking the one on the right, with Dave (pulling his Warhammer as he moves).

Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Hammer, Rage, Flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 20
Bludgeoning, 2handed: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Oh. Weird. I posted around the same time as when I posted in the discussion thread.

Resolute assumes an entirely defensive stance, continuing to provide cover for his allies.

Free action: Rage (–2 AC);
Move action: Rolling Dodge (+1 AC);
Standard action: Total Defense (+4 AC)

AC is temporarily 22; HP temporarily 10/27; Rage remaining 3/7.

The Armor Spikes FAQ is in regards to "hands of effort" during a full attack, and has no bearing on threatening.

A Character with a reach weapon, Improved Unarmed Strike, a Boulder Helmet, Armor Spikes, a Blade Boot and a Barbazu Beard can threaten and make AoOs with any of them.

BTW, would appreciate some healing =\. I'm at 6/23

I agree that they would have a claw free for an AoO.

But Jack would be aware of that as well, and might adjust his plans accordingly.

CHARGE!

Resolute advances swiftly towards the group of skeletons.

Mwk Ranseur, Charge: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16
Piercing Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9

AC temporarily 17.

"Nnnghuh!!" Resolute cries out.

Taking a deep breath, he snaps the arrow shaft so it won't impede his motion further.

"Oh the blasphemy of firing arrows at an elf!"

Hopefully it's hooded.

I recommend listing your equipment on your profile so that others can quickly view what you have.

Sometimes very useful in RP interactions, too ^_^

Thank you!

Resolute advances 30 feet (move action) and holds his weapon out in front of him to block any incoming arrows (total defense).

"We must hasten the fight to them!"

Can someone move me 6 squares, please?

AC temporarily increased to 23, but it's a Dodge bonus, so it won't apply until we can see our foes.

I'm at a training conference until Thursday out of State. While I figured I'd have plenty of time in the evenings to post, I've ended up building relationships with coworkers instead.

I'm good.

I'm keeping track, but we were just in combat and so didn't have time to use the wands.

Healing the 8 damage on TwoBlades brings our number of charges remaining to:

• Resolute: 43
• Dale: 44
• TwoBlades: 44

Thrust!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Hoorah!: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11

Although *I* want to make punny pun puns, it's not something I see Resolute doing.

Since they all attacked, would that be considered a "full round" of applause?

OhMyGosh I wish I had my Necromancer here! Probably the cutest thing he could have ever animated =)

If someone could please move me just five feet forward I'd be much appreciative ^_^.

"What in the...?"

Resolute steps up and thrusts his Ranseur at the severed hands crawling over his friend.

Mwk Ranseur: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Piercing Dmg: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 = 9

It's a wide hallway; room for two side-by-side. In fact, with more maneuverability, we could have Dave and Dale in the back, myself and Jack in the middle (less cover for Jack to deal with), and the two Rogues up front (flank buddies for life).

Resolute keeps 10-15 feet behind the leading scouts.
