Segang's page

Sorry to see this one go but I agree we were posting to slow to maintain proper, or even necessary momentum. It has been a lot of fun. I'll miss both the game and the interaction with the players. While this was not my last AP I am getting down low in number and I think it was my second to last where I was a starting player. I am in a Carrion Crown game that is older but has had 4 GMs.

So I'll be looking for another game or three. If anyone wants to run or knows of a game looking for players please let us all know. I hope to game with you again my friends.

Bump?

Segang should be able to take 10.

The shoanti regulates his breathing as the fatigue from the fight lifts. He then stands a little taller and seems to savor the sun beating down on him.

Note that Segang is not fatigued, except for a few rounds after he lets his rage drop.

Fort: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

As the threat retreats Segang calmly walks back to his totem and lifts it to a standing position before letting his rage drop away. Down 26 hit points.

Two claws tear into the raging barbarian but he only continues to fight. DR 5 from each so he takes 19 His spear punches out twice in rapid succession.

Mwk Longspear: 1d20 + 17 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 17 + 4 = 311d8 + 10 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 9 + 5 = 29

Mwk Longspear: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 4 = 251d8 + 10 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 9 + 5 = 25

Unwilling to set down his spear and still raging Segang launches a javlin at closest of the remaining foes. He then steps back 5' step and readies for it to charge him. Would like to set to receive a charge but I think that is a standard action.

amentum w/javelin: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 301d6 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 5 = 12

One at a time? :)

Still power attacking Segang pounces onto the third bulettte. Perhaps his pounce is aided buy his ability to fly. It's hard to tell. From the pink froth forming around his mouth its easy to tell the barbarian is still raging.

Mwk Longspear: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 331d8 + 10 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 9 + 5 = 31

Mwk Longspear: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 251d8 + 10 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 9 + 5 = 29

Same. PBP is my main conduit for play these days so I certainly am in favor of continuing.

Just back from a trip and ready to jump back in... :)

Noted that I made an error subtracting 3 from Segang's to hit for power attacking since he has Furious Focus. I'll not make that error again. :) Also when Segang power attacks he gets to try to intimidate for free. Here is that intimidate roll from the last attack.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Segang is clawed but not bitten. He fights back.

Mwk Longspear:: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 371d8 + 10 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 9 + 5 = 30

Mwk Longspear:: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 131d8 + 10 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 9 + 5 = 26

Confirm: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 342d8 + 20 + 18 + 5 ⇒ (3, 7) + 20 + 18 + 5 = 53

Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

I did not remember and did not include them. That is why I had asked about buffs. Thanks for the reminder. DM NomadSage please add +4 to each attack

Seeing that the beast is intent on doing him harm, Segang rages and as a move action and lays the totem down. He then attacks again and takes a step back. As a free action he will use a Harrow point for Brutal Strike gaining +5 to melee damage for this fight.

Mwk Longspear: 1d20 + 17 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 17 - 3 = 221d8 + 10 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 9 + 5 = 25

Ok. I still need to know what kind of action it is to lay the totem down. But that might be somewhat moot for now as Segang will take his AOO as he had readied his longspear. He hopes the totem will stand for a few seconds before it falls. Also need to know if any buffs are up.

Mwk Longspear: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 221d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

And since this was an AOO that happened before the creature attacked Segang, it might be his turn again?

Glad to here!

Take what time you need.

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Grr. waste of a nat 20. lol. Two questions: 1) what kind of action is it to lay the totem down without damaging it? 2) is this allowed? I mean it's better that letting it topple over. And I guess question three is If totem falls over (or is laid down) for the duration of this fight does that disqualify Segang?

If Segang cannot, or is not willing to lay the totem down based on his understanding of the challenge he will draw and ready his long spear.

With his Amentum Sedgang has 120' range with his javelins. He will prepare a shot when a creature is both exposed and in its first range increment.

Javelin: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 271d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

What I am asking if if I turn loose of the totem completely for a round does it auto fall? It might begin to slowly topple over a few rounds? I don't know. My concern is that these creatures likely have reach and can attack us and we cannot reach them with a one handed weapon. It seems to me that in order to fight at all we have to be able to either 5' step to the creature or use a reach weapon. Not sure there are any one handed reach weapons.

They may be too big and strong for such a spell. You would have to get lucky to even catch me with it. And they may not fully show themselves until they are upon us.

If only we had a brave halfling. :) First Edition stated that these thing love to eat Halflings and will greedily dig them from their homes.

Reviewing my options I noted that we all have Harrow Points that can be used. And one of those uses is to re-roll a strength check. So keep that in mind. :) Another, that Segang is going to use this fight is Brutal Strike that will give him +5 damage per attack. You can also get a size increase that could prevent you from being swallowed... Not sure if these things can swallow medium creatures or not.

Segang eyes the beasts 'swimming' through the earth then looks to his totem, wondering how long it might stand if he turns it loose to fight.

Might need some guidance here about the mechanics of fighting while trying to maintain the totem in a standing position. Also is there a map that shows where we are in relation to each other?

Segang has a look of concentration on his face but does not seem fatigued. He smiles broadly when he sees Abby. Ab! he calls. do you not want to join our game?

Hey Ab, good to hear from you! I think we are all here. We are undergoing a test of endurance by both holding up totems and in the rate of postings. :P Hope you are back to rejoin and not just saying hello.

Segang nods and maintains his concentration. He is not having too much of a problem with the test but does not want to sound critical of the tradition.

Gotta move them first I think.

Segang takes 10.

Heart of the Fields allows Segang to ignore an effect that would cause him to become fatigued or exhausted once a day.

Segang holds his totem like he is part of the rock he holds. Gonna try take 10 for a 13. Worried that will not be enough but we will see.

Strength Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 Wow. Not sure I can keep this up.

Segang also has 50' of rope. And he has a grappling hook if that is useful.

Strength Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

I am not sure. We should help each other as much as we can. But this seems very much like individual tests.

Segang intends to stand and hold his totem and will not ask for help.

First rocks - I would think without burying the totem 2' deep the best we could do would be to get an assist. Second, rest - unless someone else can steady both their own and your totem I do not think rest is in the cards for us for a couple days.

Segang stabilizes his totem and looks concerned at his friends.

Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

If I have to make 7 more of those rolls odds are against me. lol

Segang tries to lift and carry his totem.

Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Segang considers. We may not damage or alter the totems or structure of Bolt Rock in any way. wrapping a coil at the base of the standing totem might help it stand and not count as an alteration. But will piling rocks and gravel up count?Certainly we cannot alter the place where they currently stand.

Segang wants to carry his own totem, if he can. Lets move them up maybe one at a time and get them standing.

I have a rope. Segang confirms.

Speaking to the group Segang notes These are made of fired clay. They could crack or break if hit or dropped hard. He bends to try to lift his totem only slightly to assess its weight. Questions: What is the diameter of the totems? Weight? Are they all the same size/weight? How far from here to the lower tier? Could we all 4 carry each one up as a team? Anyone bring Ant Haul? Thinking Lesser Restoration might become important to erase fatigue before this is over. Might have been smart to leave a spell slot unprepared.

I believe we each choose one.

Segang moves to the totem farthest away and places his hand on it. This one.

Not sure there is any way to really prepare - whetstone to all bladed weapons. Ensure we have good rations ready. Pick spells in the morning that support strength and endurance, if we have any. Will Ab be with us as a bot?

Speaking to his friends Segang quotes Be careful what you ask for, ...you might get it. How should we prepare for the trial?

Without hesitation Segang steps forward. I am Segang Gal.

I will not go down easily Akram. Segang says quietly, his hand on his earthbreaker.

Segang steps forward and responds, also speaking Shoanti. He does not raise his voice and only states facts. I am Segang Gal. You name me tshamek but I am of the people. I was born Shriikiri-Quah, stolen at age 6 but returned to my tribe at 12. I wear the totems of my tribe on face and back as is tradition. And I made my blood vow as I became a man. The man who stole me as a child, Gaedren Lamm, is dead at my hand and my vow fulfilled. But in that quest I found more that needed done. And this need has brought me home again where I and my friends complete the Trials of Respect.

Standing taller Segang begins to recount his, and his friend's deeds. Truthspeaker Akram of the Lyrune-Quah endorses us. I have become my enemies Nalharest, as Krojun will tell you. I have recreated a legendary hero's accomplishment, that of Skukak and Cindermaw where I was swallowed, escaped, and yet did not kill that magnificent beast. And I have sought and won the Thrallkeeper's Mark, having braved their Acropolis. I come to you to ask permission to take the Trial of the Totem. Have I not earned the right?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Between work and family I am having the hardest time carving out the time to post. I am sorry it's taking so long. I have to run home game tonight but commit to getting a post up tomorrow!

Working on a post. Went back and am re-reading a lot. But life is busy. Hope to post tomorrow. Sorry for being slow. Also, hope Ab comes back soon.

Might be Segang. He is +13 to Diplomacy. Asked for a mission refresher. No prepared to answer why we came.

I am here. Could use a mission refresher.

Hi all. I can finally log into the Paizo server, though not with Firefox, which is my preferred browser. Not sure what happened to the server but I am finally back. I hope everyone else is. I'll try to get a post on later today.
