Riddywipple Z.'s page

Riddy tries the same trick on the pensive Samurai general, squeaking telepathically at him, "In the name of the master, why are you fighting with these villains? The Aspis are unworthy of a noble warrior such as yourself! If my words are true, let the master signal it by causing your feet to slip out from under you!" and then causing the ground under his feet to suddenly become very slippery. Since his eyes are shut he would be unable to see the tiny faerie dragon's spell casting :-)

Bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

DC 14 Reflex to not fall for both Green and Pink. Grease square marked on map in white.

I hope you find one soon.

Riddy watches Naalij's ten tiny fiery dragons with amazement and then, as they each explode in turn, horror. When the display is completed, the faerie dragon berates the ifrit telepathically with a barrage of draconic cursing, the gist of which seems to be, "Well, I never...!"

Riddy takes aim at the same Green Hungry Flesh with his wand of Magic Missile.

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5

@GM, did you resolve Riddy's 7 points of magic missile damage on the Blue operative? If you halved the damage due to them being incorporeal, I believe that magic missiles do full damage to the incorporeal?

Riddy, Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Undy, Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 If that gets me any information, I'll take immunities and resistances

Undy Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Riddy Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

Riddy, perched on Undy's shoulder, speaks up. "Your ladyship, everyone has heard of your family and its reknown. Why, everyone even has heard about how you personally renounced the worship of Asmodeus! But, what a surprise then, to see you carrying that little icon of Asmodeus! It is quite small - perhaps I would not have noticed it if not for the fact that I too am, well, quite small. In any case, I'm sure it would be quite fascinating to learn more about this particular icon and why you bear it when you have so publicly renounced the worship of that deity. Indeed, I'm sure that many people would love to hear about this... Perhaps you could tell us the story while we nosh on a bit of sushi? Have you tried the reefclaw rolls yet?"

Meanwhile, Riddy thrills to the chase, eager to help catch a spy.

Riddy, Climb, Aid Another: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Climbing up a chimney to look for the spy, he suddenly recalls that he can fly perfectly well and takes to the air, shouting, "Down there! Down there - there he goes! After him!"

Riddy uses his wand of Magic Missile against the Seed Pod, invisibly flying closer to be within 130' range of it.

Force dmg: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

Tess caster level check for Riddy SR 13 for haste: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Mage Armor and False Life are still active for both Undy and Riddy.

Undy and Riddy engage the second spirit in conversation. Riddy, as a creature of the forest himself, takes the lead in the conversation. "Join you? Well that would be most difficult right now as we are in the midst of a most important mission, saving the world and all that, you know. But later, a bit after later you know, my master and I - " here Riddy gestures to Undy - "are always looking for possible franchise partners for new branches of Undy's City Sushi. Perhaps you would like to join us? Though - "Riddy stops and gazes around - "We might need a different name here... But, hey, you seem like you've already got the being a branch part pretty well down, so it really might be something to consider. We can get you in on the ground floor..."

Undy murmurs words of encouragement and displays samples of their sushi wares at appropriate moments in the conversation.

Sense Motive, Riddy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Sense Motive, Aid Another, Undy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

While Undy is attempting to recruit Seren to her new career in food service, Riddy wanders over to the Kobolds and when he notices the packets of dust he takes one of them. Might be useful, unless anyone objects Riddy will take one of the dust of dryness.

Both Undy and Riddy would have cast Heightened Awareness again before entering the cavern, and dismissed it when rolling initiative. Undy also casts Message on the entire party.

Riddy, Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31 Resistances and Immunities

"Gadzooks," Riddy exclaims, "It's an adult white dragon of the cold type. Me granny used to scare me to sleep with tales of these, when I was barely more than a teeny dragon egg meself. We won't get out of this by offering Oppara rolls and seaweed sweets!"

Riddy: free action to activate the Cold Resistance 8 boon

Riddy will delay in order to act on the same initiative count as Undy.

Undy, Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 Rolling this now in advance, just to speed things up, but it's moot in any case

Riddy sends two bolts of force from his wand of magic missile at the dire polar bear.

force dmg: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 = 9

Knowledge (Local), kobolds: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 Immunities
Knowledge (Nature), lizard mount: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Knowledge (Nature), dryad: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Knowledge (Arcana), frost drake: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 Immunities

Riddywipple casts Greater Invisibility on himself and flies to be just above Undy's head, drawing his wand of magic missile as he does so.

Riddywipple sends two more missiles of force from his wand, hurtling towards the wounded Bodak.

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8

Eldritch caster level check for Haste vs Riddy SR 13: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Knowledge Religion DC 18 vs Bodak: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24 Resistances

Knowledge Religion DC 16 vs Rage Wights: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Seeing the enemies advancing, Riddy hurriedly draws forth his wand of Magic Missile and lets two bolts of force fly towards the Bodak.

Caster Level check vs SR, if needed: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Magic Missile force dmg: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5

Then Riddy steps 5' to get closer to Undy, as if together they might somehow be protected from these fearsome foes.

"The kobolds consider us as intruders and are attacking. It seems the time for stealth is past!"

Riddy stealthily flies forward, looking for any signs of traps. (Move action) Flying (15' up) at half speed and (Standard action) checking for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

Riddywipple speaks both Draconic and Sylvan and quickly relays to the group as a whole that there appears to be an argument between some mountain kobolds and a "tree lady," with each demanding that the other depart. "But it doesn't sound like they can understand each other, so they will probably come to blows. Perhaps we should intercede? Or at least spy on them and see what is happening?"

Riddy also attempts to work on the portal using Spellcraft.

Spellcraft, IISword: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 2 = 18

Assuming this is a full-round action Riddy takes a 5' step up to get further out of range of the tentacles. He is still invisible (but will become visible just before his turn on round 4).

Just before Undy casts Liberating Command, Riddy - also still invisible - also flies up to join him (a single move action), flying 15' up in the air, and casts Grease on Teric (who is just within Riddy's range), giving him a +10 circumstance bonus on his Escape Artist check.

Knowledge (Religion), IISword: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 2 = 32

Start with whichever results Undy didn't get from his list (i.e. Immunities, Special Attacks, Saves), and then continue with: Weaknesses, Special Defenses, Feats, please

Riddy squeaks, pulls his eyes shut even tighter, and says, "Someone tell me when it's over!"

Btw, he is no longer invisible.

Riddy keeps his eyes tightly shut, hoping that this Bodak will just go away.

Depends if the Bodak has See Invisibility as a constant ability. But if you choose to close your eyes, then you can avoid that issue altogether. Beware that you won't be able to do anything that requires sight while you keep your eyes closed.

Understood. My question is: if the Bodak can't see invisible, would Riddy still be susceptible to the gaze attack if *he* looks at the Bodak (to, for example, cast a spell)? I've got smoked goggles for Undy, but not for Riddy... :-)

Tess caster level check vs Riddy SR for Haste: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Riddy, Knowledge (Religion) vs. Green: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 +2 for Iomedae's Swift Sword

Riddy, Knowledge (Religion) vs. Blue & Yellow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 +2 for Iomedae's Swift Sword
Special Attacks and Immunities. If this gets me a third question, Resistances please.

Riddy squeaks with alarm, "Those two in the front are ragewights!"

Riddywipple moves up and casts Greater Invisibility on himself.

Tessera's caster level check vs Riddy's SR for Haste: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Riddy will blast Blue with his wand of Magic Missile.

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8

Riddy Reflex, IISword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15

@GM, Riddy has SR 13,so if the electricity dmg was from a spell please make an SR check.

Riddy’s Reflexes fail him and he takes half damage (due to Improved Evasion) from the lightning, some of which is absorbed by the False Life spell he cast earlier. After Seren’s channels he is fully healed (but no longer has the benefits of False Life).

Sorry, I misunderstood. Thought you said that it only had 5 hp left and Riddy did 8 force dmg, so I assumed that meant it was destroyed. Does its hardness apply to force damage from a spell too?

Assuming it's still standing after Riddy's action: Undy moves forward and unleashes a 15' cone of cold water and ice at the construct.

This is the Fluid Mastery ability from the Shaman's Waves spirit, which Undy has because of his wizard Spirit Whisperer archetype

Cold dmg: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 2) = 11 It is also pushed back 5' away from me. DC 20 Reflex for half damage and to negate the push

Afterwards, assuming we are out of initiative, Undy will use a Pearl of Power and another charge of Heightened Awareness.

Riddy will finish it off with another blast from his wand.

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27 Special Defenses

On round 1, Riddywipple moves 5' with Undy and draws his wand of magic missile and fires at Blue.

Magic Missile, CL 3: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10

On round 2, he delays in order to remain on the same initiative as Undy.

Riddy also attempts to aid Valoria. "It is fortunate to meet such brave guardians as yourselves. What can you tell us of what has been happening here?"

Diplomacy, aid Valoria: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Riddywipple speaks Sylvan. He chirps to the group, "These sisters are wondering if we are intruders. Apparently this is a forbidden place and things have been very strange here."

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

"Ah, he adds, these are dweomercats. Proud but intensely curious creatures."

Riddywipple bows low to the two felines and offers to translate anything the group may wish to say into Sylvan, if it will be more comfortable for such esteemed creatures to speak in their own tongue.

You don't really need Riddy directing, so he can be invis this turn. Or if he wants to do something else like use his MM wand he could do that instead.

Ok, in that case let's say that Riddy activated Greater Invis as his standard - 3 rounds duration - taking care to stay more than 50' away from Erik...

Perception, Prayer: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 1 = 34

Thx

Erik casts Prayer and then moves to provide Lysaer a flank

Or would if my phone could handle slides

Erik, will you please give me a caster level check to see if Riddy is affected by your Prayer? SR 13.

Riddywipple moves to behind Erik and uses his wand of magic missile to blast the (red) soldier next to Lysaer that has already been damaged.

Magic Missile damage, CL 3: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6

Stealth, invisible, moving: 1d20 + 17 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 17 + 20 = 56

On hearing his suggestion, Riddy chirps with alarm and lands on Undy’s shoulder. ”What is this spellbook you speak of?”

Riddywipple ponders the situation. "Perhaps we should go examine the stele where Rijana was performing her ritual? We might find more information there. That is, if we've thoroughly investigated the town here..."

Riddy peers at the corpse...

Heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

"She was slain by unnatural means..."

Riddy continues his dance of dragons (i.e. going total defense for +6 AC) but with perhaps a touch of mockery directed towards the bone devil.

Riddy pauses his dance of dragons long enough to squeak hopefully, "There must be *something* that he can do to shadows!"

Riddy stares at where his companion was a moment ago, ruefully contemplating his own powers of invisibility. But with the devil looming above, he dares not risk casting it himself. Instead, he opts to show the devil the dance of dragons, in the hopes that the weakened devil will be unable to strike him down...

Riddy goes Full Defense; because he has 3 ranks in Acrobatics, this adds +6 to his AC for 1 round, temporarily boosting his AC to 32.

Riddy brandishes his wand at the bone devil, shooting two magic missiles at him.

Spell Resistance check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Magic Missile damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7

As noted in my previous post, if the devil is blinded then Riddy will also move with Undy to the square just below Marra. If the devil is not blinded then Riddy will 5' step with Undy one square to the left.

Riddy is wearing a Ring of Tactical Precision. So, from what you wrote, should we understand that he is neither staggered nor blinded? Uh oh...

Riddy considers for a moment and then also makes an incantation of his own. The ground beneath some of the zombies becomes slippery, perhaps causing them to fall.

Casting Grease (Reflex DC 14) on the 10’ square containing orange, purple, and green.

K Arcana, prayer: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 1 = 21

And Riddy sighs too...

And also checks the fountain and the area around.

Perception , prayer: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 1 = 23

Riddywipple will join Undy 5 feet further back. Otherwise he has no action.
