Saphren's page

Congrats to the winners. Good gaming.

Excited. Good luck all.

I'd like to introduce Saphren as a candidate. Brought up on the docks of Riddlport and with a simple yet slightly warped sense of justice, he has traveled to the big city to set things right on a at least a small scale and maybe prey on those who prey on others.

You had and often displayed that most important GM ability to be part of the story and revel in the party's victories. It never felt like you against us but it always felt a challenge. Especially Well done in that specific regard GM SpiderBeard.

I'll miss this game. :(

It has been fun. While I hate to see it end I will say you have done a great job and its been a blast.

IF someone wanted to find a GM to continue I'd be thrilled to keep going...

Doc Evil is around again. Perhaps?

Let us gather up what treasures there are, heal what wounds we can and then be gone.

Any buffs besides Haste?

Saphren will spring out of the mist, attack and then spring back in, thus avoiding the miss chance.

+1 cold iron falchion: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 1 = 262d4 + 10 + 6 + 5d6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 10 + 6 + (5, 5, 6, 4, 6) = 45

If that hits he continues with the debilitating injury.

Yep. That fog is great for Saph. He will spring in and out and repeat. I am traveling today so bot me if needed.

Saphren is at full.

`Using the fog to his advantage Saphren springs in, attacks and steps back away into the fog.

+1 cold iron falchion: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 322d4 + 10 + 6 + 5d6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 10 + 6 + (1, 2, 3, 2, 3) = 32

If it can be sneak attacked it takes a Debilitating Injury: Disoriented -2/-4 (Ex) Foe who takes sneak attack damage takes attack pen for 1 rd.

Brenna, consult the map. Both you and I were pretty far away. No way you can charge it. I count a distance of at least 100 ft and not in a path you can charge. And now there is mist to contend with which is double movement.

Besh, after casting the mist I think you could still move if you like.

Besh, if the elemental has to move it only gets one attack...

@Saphren - it's a roll to hit ray rather than a reflex save spell. This dude is mean.

Yea, I figured that. Was just lamenting that without a save Saphren can't evade. :) I Hope there is a times/day limit or at least a cool down on that or we will not last long.

No save for half? From a rogue's point of view that is sooo unfair/ :P

saphren hasted double moves into the room. Besh! he calls, concern echoing in his voice. I forget that everyone has more hp than I do.

Its tempting for Saphren but he has a belt already that is almost as good. Whoever ends up with it I might try to trade out belts for tasks that are very dex based to get that +1 to the skill check. But only for that specific task.

A Dex bet would be awesome for you you but also good for Lyr who is an archer.

At 9000 gp the bracers are significantly overpriced. Better to sell them and enable you to use Mage Armor, which is better AC. Maybe get you a pearl of power or the arcanist equivalent.

The would sell for 4500. For that you could buy a rod of Extend for your mage armor (and two other spells a day) and have 1500 left over with which you 'could' buy two fully charged wands of Mage Armor. But if you really want the bracers I am fine with you taking them.

GM SpiderBeard's call but I think we spend a good 4 rounds searching through gear after hte combat ended. Was waiting for Besh to say something. What I do will somewhat depend on what he says...

Yikes. Sorry, and feel better soon.

Sahpren mounts up and rides over to the son of House Vonnarc. Well done everyone. Lets make sure this one is dead. I wonder what loot he has He dismounts and begins stripping the drow's body.

Knowing his plan is a good one, Saphren continues to focus on the archers, but this time instead of spring back to his mount he moves to trap the 3rd archer. I grow tired of ya shootin at me. he says, his breath hot in the drow's face.

Spring Attack, +1 cold iron falchion: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 1 + 2 = 282d4 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 10 + 6 + 2 + (1, 4, 1, 1, 3) = 32

I understand. And it does seem like an over nerf on the surface. That said, in my two home groups we had gotten to the point where we looked down on people that cast it a lot. Sort of like overuse of Slumber Hex.

Ok. That seems a lot more reasonable.

What happened to the Terrible Remorse spell effects? Its somewhat of a cheesy spell I know but if he failed the save the fight is pretty much over.

Well, he should have made better life choices. :)

Saphren continues to heal from the life link. He chooses not to change plans just because of a few lucky shots and spring attacks again.

+1 cold iron falchion: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 1 + 2 = 202d4 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 10 + 6 + 2 + (2, 6, 5, 2, 1) = 39

but this time luck is not with him and he fumbles the attack. :(

With Cover from the mount Saphren's Hasted AC should be at least 28, right? And how can he get hit 3 times if only two arrows come at him?

Hmm. Where did people pick up temp HP? I somehow missed that.

I posted on Thursday - Besh cast Haste

Here

I don't see anyone flanking on the map, but I'll take your word for it.

Brenna leans to one side in the saddle and hammers away at the dark elf blocking the road.

[dice=Battle axe attack, flanking, power attack]1d20+15+2-3
[dice=Battle axe iterative attack, flanking, power attack]1d20+10+2-3
[dice=Battle axe iterative confirm crit, flanking, power attack]1d20+10+2-3 (no crit)

[dice=Battle axe damage, power attack]1d8+5+6
[dice=Battle axe iterative damage, power attack]1d8+5+6

Looks like you did not take your hasted attack Brenna.

I got it. Its pretty simple once you have done it a few times. Find an image you like and copy it to your clipboard (usually an option for a right click. Then paste it in, size it (It's usually way too big) and move it into place.

Oh, I was unsure about a bard song and did not add anything in for that. Ah, also forgot the +1 for haste. Sorry.

Brenna, thoe enemy is right in front of you. You can full attack. Besh, the 26 missed from Lyr's bow. Two questions: Did you add in a flank from Brenna? Are you sure you want to keep power attacking if he is hard to hit?

Saphren springs in and attacks the nearest archer then springs back to take cover behind his mount.

1 cold iron falchion: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 232d4 + 10 + 6 + 5d6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 10 + 6 + (4, 6, 3, 4, 4) = 42

If that hits and the archer is still up he receives a Debilitating Injury: Disoriented. Foe who takes sneak attack damage takes -2 attack pen for 1 rd, and -4 vs Saphren.

Note that Saphren healed 5 through Life Link. I am unsure which two arrows were shot at him but do not see a damage if 8. Note that he has cover from the lizard. Taking off from Denver. Will post from Dallas.

But I cannot spring attack and attack. And its pushing it to get to the other side in a double move, so I am good with my action.

Suspicious of the bridge, Saphren rides his mount across the ceiling of the cavern and over to the other side. He then dismounts, taking cover behind the mount and ending his turn.

Hmm. I know an archer mounted on horseback can take a full attack while his mount moves a double moves. but I'll go with it.

GM SpiderBeard, please guide me on two things: First, could Saphren run up the wall and across the ceiling while riding and strapped in on his lizard mount? I am a little concerned about the bridge. If he can do that how much movement would it be to totally avoid the bridge and get to the other side - this is related I guess to the ceiling height. And Second, m Mounted Combat is a little confusing to me. I believe Saphren's mount can double move and at the end of that move Saphren could dismount and still get a standard action, correct? And if he pulled off a quick dismount he could take a full action, right?

Likely gonna need stats for the lizards - speed at least. HP and AC make sense too. Full stats might be nice.

What is the speed of a hasted lizard? :)

Thinking of poison bolts Saphren will pull and drink an anti-toxin as he rides. He has no other plan.

Gotcha.

You heard the orders. No one is to leave once we are out. Close the gates up tight and let no one follow. Saphren rides out.

Love the one you're with... :P

We need a face to potentially talk us past the gate guards. The alarm is being sounded. Perhaps we need to go out to pursue an escaped slave?

And we still have Vonnarc signets?

What is the status of the gate? Is it opened? How many guards there? If closed how hard to open it?

Happy New Year all. I am ready to go.

Can we ride over the walls of this side of the compound? I am not really sure where we are going or what obstacles are in our path.

Saddling his mount Saphren says We ride!

Saphren springs in and does his best to disable a drow. If too far to spring he changes.

Sap vs flat footed enemy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 201d6 + 6 + 5d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (1, 2, 2, 3, 2) = 22
