Saladraxis's page

For ease, I am willing to switch out under undercommon for common. Also, took draconic instead of gnome to match her upbringing. Let me know if you are fine with her not speaking the common tongue with the rest of the group and the switch out for story reasons.

Perfect. I give you Sal, the monk of Apsu.

All pertinent info is in the profile.

Sal pipes up at his, having decided that this whole situation has got untenable."It is really quite simple, first priority is survival of the crew, second is getting home, third and least important is making some kind of profit off this trip."

"Do not worry Haggin, I will keep you company." Sal smiles a bit as she unconsciously sidles as little closer to her gnomish friend.

Sal will keep an eye on the ship as any other member climbs up. Continuously scanning the sea and ship equally.

"Well it would seem we are stranded here on an island filled with devils and things that would like to eat us. Any suggestions my friends?" Sal seems to be more annoyed than anything by the loss of their vessel.

Sal waits on the others to come to a consensus. While they are talking it through she begins to count through her sad remainder of bolts and wonder how she will attain more for her tiny crossbow.

"We follow the tracks to where they lead and see what we see. If need be we can beat a hasty retreat all the way back here quickly enough. I just hope we have enough to keep going." The little gnome seems anxious to get this over with, her ever dwindling supplies are starting to be a real worry on her mind.

"I am of a mind to agree with Ariston. We are strangers in this land and they know it well. If we stay they will just come at us with more force until they have enough to remove us."

Sal will take up a position protecting her friends in case more of these creatures show.

Sorry, forgot to fix this one when I went and had to repost to half my gameplay posts. Gremlins decided my posts were tasty.

Retro

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Sal continues to pour fire in on any target she can get, trying desperately to assist her allies.

Current

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Confirmation rolls
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Confirmation added damage.
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Desperation starts to set in as Sal realizes her slowly dwindling supply of bolts may be all she has for a while. She pushes that fear aside and uses her calm to focus her mind and guide her hands as she fires two more bolts into her enemies.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Sal continues to plunk bolts into the opponents as best she can, something about fighting in these tropical surroundings is playing havoc with her shots.

Saladraxis moves another 5' down to get better shots at her targets.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

edit: Apparently Sal is not having a good day at all.

Sal is going to continue to do the only thing she knows how to do. Going for the same target as last time.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Ok then 5' adjust down one square to break cover and two shots at the mace wielding baddy bottom right of the map not engaged in melee.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Figures the one that is likely to hit would be the crappy shot.
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Holding, waiting for the creatures to break the tree line as I believe they have cover at this moment.

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 just so it is there. Still want to know if Sal can get a clear view of the fight or not from where she is hiding.

Still waiting, but with the sudden challenge situation Sal will have to just sit and wait. Can she get a clear view of Gansukh and the fight?

Not sure. I hope not since I actually enjoy this character and her interactions with Haggin a lot... oh, and the rest of the team too. :P

Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Crossbow out and taking aim at one of the ones in clothing. Waiting to see if they notice my noisy friends.

"Hah. I think it's cute. Sal reaches out to try and get the bird to land on her arm.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Sal pipes up."Maybe we should go the way the arrow points. Just a suggestion" She points down the wide path.

Sal looks to Filios as she finally comes down off her hut. "I don't have any experience tracking, but I can be quiet as a mouse. If anyone finds a lair or camp I will be more than happy to sneak in and get a head count."

Can't fail the linguistics, and I will just take ten on the religion check and take a minute to look them over.

"I would assume the cubes are currency, not unlike our coins. As for the necklace... they apear to be holy symbols, but I don't recognize the deity."

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Sal launches two more shots at the still standing foe.

If surprise round

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

And this adventure is actively trying to kill me.

Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Sal holds her position and waits for them to get closer.

Sal is dead set on sitting up on one of these huts, she will even take to sleeping up on one if this drags out too long. One must be ready for this after all.

"This sounds lie a good plan, as long as Gansukh says it will work. I am more than happy to get up on one of these huts. All things considered I should be able to hide well up there and I don't weigh enough to cause any issues with the roof holding me."

"An ambush seems the best tactical strategy at this point. I am all for taking one alive for questioning though."

"I wouldn't bet on it. Most people I know couldn't tell you much past their treeline let alone what is in the next county over. For that we would need their leaders, and something tells me their leaders are the kind we would like to avoid."

Sal whispers to Haggin. "Something tells me I need to learn this blasted language they all keep speaking"

Oh bloody heck, small foot path... need to read more carefully. I swear you miss one post by the gm while scrolling down your phone and you look like an idiot.

Retcon Sal takes up a position covering the rear, eyes scanning the canopy and surrounding jungle in case something wants to make her a snack.

Sal takes up a flanking position to Filios, a little on the outside right so as to have a clear view of the road. "Why are you all lining up single file?"

"I would rather keep boot on soil. We have fought hard for this beach spot, we can not just let the predators move back in."

"A person hiding their nature from demons would care about such things. In case we need to go in front of any who would wish us harm for our very nature, this will be useful."

CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Thank you kindly sir. I find most things that don't collect treasure directly tend to collect it in their meals."

"Covered in bile and blood, nearly breakfast for a giant worm. I would say I am doing better than OK. I am still alive. Now let us find its kivanyii."

Translation: Hoard or treasure. Again close enough to draconic standard but with the Kobold accent that will annoy the crap out of any true dragon.

Exhausted, covered in blood, the deep gnome finally extricates herself from the worms vomit. "I hope this thing doesn't have a mate anywhere nearby."

1d8 ⇒ 8

I am not a front line fighter. :P

Oops misread the I disappear in the maw part.

Get me out of this: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Yep no that was bad.

Wait I think I am confused here. Am I grappled or am I swallow holed because I am small? I don't have any small cutting blades to get out of swallowed whole so figured I was out till saved.

Cool, if it ever comes up again... maybe a year or two from now, I will remember to add that in. :)

There is already a second confirmation sir. Double nat 20 on first attack getting 27 and 27. Roll of 26 crit due to 19 on die and crossbow range on that second attack with confirmation of 13.

Sal brings her crossbow around to bare upon the wormy enemy...

Deadly Aim, Perfect Strike on first shot

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 Doesn't matter which I use for shot and which I use for confirmation.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Crit Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Confirmation: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Crit Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

...and lets off two beautiful bolts directly into the things fleshy body.

Um double nat twenty on that first shot... wow. Never seen the forum be so kind.

Can't interact with the map properly. Not that it matters with this combat right now.

"I am with you on that. It would seem our best course is to follow them to where ever he came from, and civilization would be a nice change."

"We can only hope."

Not yet it seems.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Sal swims to shore and waits for the others to make the first move, drying her crossbow as best she can and making ready in case there is trouble.
