Rogar the Relentless's page

Thanks for GM'ing, GM kuey! It was great fun (and less deadly than when I ran it :P). The chronicle sheet looks god as well.

AoO: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 28
Damage: 1d10 + 7 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 3 + 1 = 16
Crit?: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 16
Optimistic extra damage: 2d10 + 22 ⇒ (8, 4) + 22 = 34

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Swearing loudly as he is roasted once more, Rogar steps up to the ever retreating alchemist and takes another swing.

Attack, PA, bull focus: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 22
Damage, two-handed, PA, bull focus: 1d10 + 7 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 3 + 1 = 13

Through gritted teeth, he gives Ivar a new order.

"Flank with Zavubak, boy!"

Ivar's AoO vs clanky snake: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Roaring in defiance against the fiery onslaught, Rogar drops his shield as to better murder the alchemist.

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 1 = 12
Damage, two-handed, PA: 1d10 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 3 = 20

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

The blast catches Rogar unprepared.

"Ach, we need to get into that room!"

He draws the tiger-like powers he imbued Ivar with this morning and uses it to emulate a bull himself.

Swift action to shift animal focus from Ivar to Rogar, then overrunning the cobra (AoO from the cobra).

CMB, bull focus: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11
Folio re-roll, 4 stars: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 + 4 = 27

"Ivar, get rid of the snake!"

CLW x3: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 5) + 3 = 12

Rogar heals himself and retrieves his shield. In the smaller room he sighs with relief.

"At least these aren't attacking us. The last one packed quite a punch..."

The crushing blow to his heads seems to knock some sense into Rogar.

"We need to flank it if we're to consistently crush it!"

He then takes a swing at the construct and steps backwards.

Attack, PA, IR: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 9
Damage, PA, IR, two-handed: 1d10 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 18

With his head still spinning from the blow, he fumbles his strike.

"Ivar, guard Baied!"

Rogar steps back to his prior position and takes another swing at the construct.

Attack, PA, IR: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 16
Damage, PA, IR, two-handed: 1d10 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 15

Accepting the song. Info bar updated.

Rogar lets Reese's song empower him, and he drops his shield in the hear of the moment and takes a mighty swing at the construct.

Attack, PA, IR: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 26
Damage, PA, IR, two-handed: 1d10 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 14

Not completely blinded by the rage, he then steps back allowing Reease and even Zavubak a go at the foe.

"Ivar, let's box the clanky bastard in!"

Rogar charges the the animated pile of gears.

Attack, PA, charge: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 1 + 2 = 26
Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 = 17

Rogar draws a wand and heals himself.
CLW wand x3: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 1) + 2 = 10

"Well, that could've gone better, but also much worse. The Lady of Graves wont be dancing with our souls just yet."

Shuffling back to the operating theater, Rogar gives the double doors a hard look.

"I'd prefer exploring the rough tunnels first. It's the most obvious direction from where yet another eldritch horror can sneak up on us. Best to secure our flanks, as it were."

Rogar heaves himself free of the sucking cold and braces himself for the blowing warmth.

Total defense and move. My planned route is on the map. My CMD is now 23.

CMB: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Rogar struggles against the supernatural cold, but to no avail.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 2 = 22

"The bugger's next to you, Reese! I'm coming over there!"

Rogar moves closer to the action jumping over the traps' pressure plates.

Acrobatics, cold: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Acrobatics, hot: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Depending on how wide the second pressure plate actually is, I might make it with the penalty for lacking a running start. I've drawn my planned route on the map. It's a single move to reach the second trapped square, so I might reach my destination irregardless of the trap. In the mean time...

"Ivar, go protect Baied!"

Rogar trundles into the hallway.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

"Bugger Me, those two statues are trapped! Watch your step. Ivar, protect Reese."

Fort v distraction: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Fort v poison: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

With momma spider dealt with, Rogar drops his axe, steps south, draws an alchemist's fire and throws it at the swarm.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Scatter: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Splashing Baied, Gitano, Ivar and the swarm...

"Scittering bastards! Ivar watch our nortern flank!"

Seeing the horse-sized spider sink it's fangs into Gitano, Rogar roars a bestial challenge at it, emboldening the entire party, but especially Ivar.

Swift action to challenge the black widow, 5 ft step into the swarm and attack.

Attack v big spider, PA, challenge: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 20
Damage, PA, challenge: 1d10 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 11

Due to the Huntmaster archetype, Ivar is also fully affected by the challenge.
Everybody receives a +1 circumstance bonus on melee attack rolls against the spider as long Rogar or Ivar is threatening it (Order of the Dragon).

His challenge declared, Rogar barks an attack order at Ivar.

"Dammit, Gitano! Don't split the party! Ivar, heel!"

Rogar trundles after Gitano and readies himself to strike at any appearing enemies.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

"If you say so, Gitano."

Rogar moves around the invisible goblin (provoking an AoO. Remember that Rogar's not flat-footed due to Blind-Fight) and attacks.

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 1 = 16
Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8
Miss chance, >50=hit: 1d100 ⇒ 53

"Ivar! Can a man get a flank over here!?"

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Sneaky bugger... Time to taste my axe!"

Martial Flexibility to gain Blind-Fight, then attack.

Attack v orange: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Miss chance, 2=hit: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Blind-fight re-roll, 2=hit: 1d2 ⇒ 2

"Finish off the rat, boy!"

Fortitude: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

"Filthy rats! I'll get you!"

Rogar steps further into the room and takes a swing at a rat.

Attack v orange, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 1 = 23
Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10

"It's dinner time, Ivar!"
Ordering him to attack green.

Perception, potion #2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

"It's one o' them invisibility potions."

"I wouldn't mind chugging the two potions Gitano hasn't claimed, and I'll snatch a few other choice items while I'm at it."

I'll take a vial of bottled lighting and acid. Zavubak should have the bull's strength. If there's no objections to the potion thing, I'll use them and compliment them with a few wand charges.
CLW x4: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 3) + 4 = 23

With the lab thoroughly looted, Rogar follows Gitano onward.

With several healing spells applied to him, Rogar struggles to his feet and lumbers around one of the tables.

"Get the last bastard, Ivar..."

Stabilize DC 15: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Momma, is that you..?

Gasping from the two stab wounds, Rogar tries to take revenge on his tormentor, focusing himself beforehand.

Gaining Weapon Focus via Martial Flexibility

Attack v red: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Ain't no negotiating with them there elementals, Baied."

When Gitano finishes messing around with machine, Rogar looks south.

"What wonderfully horrible things will we meet next..."

"Someone help Baied! I'll keep the bastard occupied."

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 1 = 17
Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16

"Get 'em, Ivar!"

"It sure packs a punch..."

Rogar stands ready to attack the elemental when it shows itself

"Elemental? I hate elementals! An airy one almost killed a wonderful pirate right in front of my eyes..."

Rogar takes a swing at the earthen creature.

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 1 = 21
Damage, PA: 1d10 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11

"Ivar, I think you buried a bone inside that clump of moving eart."

Rogar lets out a heavy sigh as the fighting ends. He then pulls out his own wand and uses it on himself.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"That's the kinda stuff that makes a man feel alive... Where to next, Gitano?"

Rogar roars in anger at the goblins' continued existance and pays no head to Baied's efforts to keep him alive.

Attack v red, PA, IR, flank: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 1 + 1 + 2 = 22
Damage, PA, IR (magic & slashing): 1d10 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 16

Cleave v orange: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Damage: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Seeing the opening offered by Zavubak, Rogar wheels around to face two goblins at once. Provoking an AoO from orange.

Once in position, he goes for a cleave again.

Attack v red, PA, IR: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 18
Damage, PA, IR (magic & slashing): 1d10 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 15

Cleave v orange: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

"Raaargh!"

Rogar lets Reese's song wash over him and gathers himself for a mighty swing!

Move action to gain Cleave via Martial Flexibility, then cleaving green followed by yellow.

Attack v green, PA, IR: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 28
Damage, PA, IR (magic & slashing): 1d10 + 5 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 3 + 1 = 16
Crit?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Extra Damage: 2d10 + 18 ⇒ (9, 6) + 18 = 33

Cleave v yellow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

He then literally barks an order to Ivar (attack purple).

Rogar tries to bellow over the goblins' screeching.

"Get the wee one, Ivar!"

He then moves closer and roars at the goblins.

Intimidate v blue, size difference: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 = 13

Rogar gives Baied a silent nod of appreciation and draws his own wand to tend to Ivar's wounds.

CLW x6: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 2, 4, 2, 5, 5) + 6 = 32

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

"That could've gone better, but also much worse. Let's trudge on. Which way is best, Gitano?"

Rogar calls upon Deadeye's Lore to guide him through the dungeon.

Rogar enters a more agile stance and lets Reese's song fuel his rage.

"I'll get you, you slimy bastard!"

Move action to gain Dodge via Martial Flexibility, then attack the ooze.

Attack, PA, IR: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 13
Damage, PA, IR (magic & slashing): 1d10 + 5 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 3 + 1 = 11

"Ah! Even the sewage is hostile here. Get around 'em, Ivar!"

Knowledge (dungeoneering): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Free action to order Ivar into flanking, standard action to attack.

Rogar takes a mighty, overeager swing at the ooze.

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 1 = 8
Damage, PA (magic & slashing): 1d10 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13

"Go through the dungeon, but not to deep and be snappy about it. Sounds simple enough."

I'm good to go.

Rogar beams with joy at Dreng's mention of a forest stronghold, but that is slightly lessened when the topic moves to the dungeons beneath it.

"Does the Jonton fellow's report hint at what we might encounter in this 'Forgotten Laboratory'?"

Rogar will gladly volunteer to take position A as a meat shield/trap"finder", but then Ivar will have to take position B for sentimental/ability reasons.

1. Rogar, for animal companions, etc on PBP, I usually have them act on the same initiative as their master. This would help to speed up posting speed. I would have them make separate perception rolls for surprise round, etc though.

Just the way I like it!

Seeing Zavubak's powerful hands, Rogar goes three for three and and gives the half-orc an excessively firm handshake while shooting Baied a teasing look.

"A new hand? Nonesnese! See? The half-breed can take it, and so can you. His hot chocolate could use some cheep Sargavan whiskey and whipped cream, though..."

At the mention of Dreng's absence, his face contorts with mock worry.

"Well I sure hope he gets here... Otherwise I've put on my pants for no reason at all today!"

Rogar's bellowing laughter and following wistful daydream about talking cabbages almost keep him from noticing the new arrival. Reaching out from his relaxed position to deliver another bone crushing handshake, he gives Baied a sly smile.

"A ditch digger and wall builder, eh? I'm more of an ol' Estig kinda guy, but it takes all sorts. Just don't take it personally when I stiff you on the bill when we're done!"

He leans back in his ominously creaking chair, chuckling to himself.

I do find it hilarious, that with the two characters in the gameplay thread we already have 6 classes represented :D

Rogar bursts into the room with a worried look on his face.

"I'm not late, am I?"

Seeing only Gitano in the meeting room, the bear of a man bursts out laughing and gives him a vigorous, vice-like handshake.

"Ah, good to meet you! Rogar's my name, though some add 'the Relentless', usually if they get on the wrong side of me."

He then plonks down on the sturdiest looking chair and places his muddy boots where they aught not be.

"So, whaddaya think oldboy Dreng has in store for us?"

Dayjob, Survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
I'll use my folio re-roll if it dosen't get used during play.

Everything's up to date, and I'm good to go!

I was supposed to receive out-of-sub-tier gold, but I fixed it myself.

Otherwise, it was great fun!

"Yeah, let's leave the readin' to the boffins. Come on Ivar, I'm sure you can get a bowl of ale as well."

Indeed I will.

Dayjob, folio reroll + 4 stars: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 4 = 22
