Selann Juris's page

Sunday sounds fine. I had a little time this morning to work on the crunch. Thanks!

Lemming again but I've changed the idea for what I want to play.... (and Selann was my previous attempt to play WotR. But I won't be re-skinning him)

My character will be a vanilla uRogue, ratfolk-tiefling. Not sure on a PrC but I can decide on that fairly soon. He will take the Exposed to Awfulness campaign trait because.... it's a fairly decent reason why the paladins of the area won't want to lock me up on sight, and a great reason why I want to by in Kenabres! If I ever get the chance I want to do something to stop demons from escaping into the world and hurting folks like I was hurt!

However, I am currently away from home and will not have time to complete my submission until shortly after I get home Sunday evening. I hope this doesn't rule me out but will understand if it does.

Selann disappears (Vanish) and checks the door beside him. If it will open he enters, hoping to get up to the bombers.... If locked he will try to open the lock and open the door.

Disable Device to open lock?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

Not sure how far I could get. Free move from Fred. Standard for casting Vanish. Plus normal move?

Selann casts Haste on the party, then move forward.

That's news of a Happy New Year if I ever heard it!

Selann agrees with Tristan. "Too many of us can't see in the darkness as well as the fiends. Although, I can cast a spell to let us see in the dark. I would have to use the mythic power to do it."

Family first! Holidays coming that will likely slow most of us.

That's more rolls than we have people. Are we to select more than one?

There are others with Stealth so I'll try the Disarm Traps Disable Device DC 24
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 Ouch! Use a hero point to add 4 and make that a 26?

Selann steps up behind Benedic and lays a hand on him. "Empower our Champion to take the fight to the enemy before he can flee!"

Casting Fly on Benedic. Anybody able to heal him a bit?

Selann crosses the room to attack the remaining giant, flanking with Benedic. Possibly drawing an AoO? He releases another of the Fiery Shurikens at it, then stabs at it with his little dagger....

Ranged touch attack(swift action): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
damage if that hits: 1d8 + 3d6 ⇒ (7) + (2, 2, 5) = 16

stab: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
damage if that hits: 1d3 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + (4, 3, 4) = 14

With the giant facing the party, apparently trying to 'bat' them off of the tower? Selann releases another of the fiery shurikens and stabs the giant with his little blade....

Ranged touch attack(swift action): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
damage if that hits: 1d8 + 3d6 ⇒ (5) + (3, 5, 5) = 18

stab: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 Hmm. That's a regular attack so probably a miss!
damage if that hits: 1d3 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + (1, 2, 6) = 10

Using the extra Move action from Junior Selann moves in casting a spell and launching a Fiery Shuriken at one of the giants.
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Damage if that hits?: 1d8 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + (4, 2, 2) = 12

What is the scale of the room? My speed is 50'. Could I have moved past them while they are flat footed?

Selann joins the group scouting. When he returns he has bad news....

Stealth or Perception. Same modifier: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26

"Attacking at night would be a terrible idea. There are barricades and palisades set up to break up formations, and siege weapons that could target any group carrying light sources. There are also groups on the rooftops with planks and makeshift routes. They could fire down on any groups trying to make their way in the streets. Without aerial support they'd have no chance."

"I think our best choice would be to go to the citadel and take out the siege weapons. Then we capture the high ground and take out the groups of snipers on the rooftops. The army can stay here, providing a distraction for whatever enemy is watching."

"Those of us that specialize in stealth could do some more scouting. I can caste Darkvision on myself so I'll be able to see in the dark."

"We shouldn't interfere with any traps set, or ambushes. Just know about them so we can bypass the traps and ambush the ambushers...."

Agree with Junior! We'll miss you.

Selann quickly 'strolls' around the corners and grins at the.... ghoul demon? "Of course we dare. Maybe you should have tried negotiations first. You might know something worth us letting you continue your existence. I doubt it, but now we'll never know!"

He quickly speaks the words of a spell and empowers it with Mythic strength. Two rays of fire blast into the creature.

[ooc]Using Mythic Trickster Surprise Strike with Scorching Ray. Target is considered flat footed but the spell says it is a touch attack. Not sure which counts? I add my tier to the attack, and it bypasses any DR that he has.

first ray to hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
damage if that hits?: 4d6 + 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5, 6, 4) + (4, 1, 3) + 1 = 29

second ray to hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
damage if that hits?: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6, 6, 6) + 1 = 20

I'm enjoying it! Continue please.

Deciding to save magic for later Selann uses his wand to attack the ghouls in the front of the group.

Magic Missile at the yellow ghoul: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Magic Missile at the blue ghoul: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Magic Missile at the red ghoul: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Hoping they are 'barely clinging to unlife'!

Selann casts a spell sending a burst of radiance into the area to catch all four of the ghouls. Then he steps back to let the rest of the party finish the business....

"So, 'do with as you please' means have them destroyed by us as we enter to discuss the meaning of your last statement? I would suggest a different path unless you desire a quick destruction."

damage: 5d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 1, 1) = 10 Reflex save DC14. Fail = Blinded for 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds. Success = Dazzled for the same.

Selann approaches the door, casting detect magic to check for any auras on it, then examines it for traps. Finally breaking out his tools to try and open it.... He takes a quick glance at the future for any help he may need....

Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Perception: Examine the door for traps: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
Disable Device to open the lock: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

I think I'll keep my rolls and leave Prescience where it is!

"I think that does it, as well as I can. ??"

Selann studies the image of the leader. "Not sure. An illusion wouldn't flicker like that. It would react, or do nothing. That's more like a non-corporeal creature, maybe a ghost? Did your channel stun it?" Using his ring to cast a non-prepared spell he sends three missiles at the image.

Magic Missile damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) + 3 = 8

Spellcraft?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Is that door open?

Selann casts a spell which causes a quick burst of light, damaging the undead.

If the door is open casting it just inside to catch all five. If not, hitting the door to catch the two. Reflex save DC14. Fail means blind for 1d4 ⇒ 4 rounds, Save means dazzled for the same number of rounds. Regardless they take 5d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 2, 1) = 10 damage.

Already had Mage Armor cast. Using the dragon scale for Anticipate Peril, +5 to initiative (+14) for the coming battle.

Can't have fun with it???? :)

When we get to the Mobility section....

Sweeping through the cemetery they reach a point where going over the vaults is the quickest and easiest. Selann leads the charge, vaulting up and over. "This way!"

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Selann agrees with Benedic. "Put the undead back in the ground where they belong."

Thanks Fred. That sounds like the easiest method! Just the 2 third level spells as said. Haste being first so Caliban can take Slow.

Crap! I forgot that. And there's no where to buy them here.... :(

Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 8 not used
Avoid the Rocks and Siege Weapon Strikes: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Aid ? Climb the tower to reach the Catapult: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

My spellcraft is currently +7, but I plan to increase it to +12. In the item creation rules you can double the speed of creating an item by increasing the DC by 5.

Level 7! I can now cast Fly on Greta! And Haste! Of course I want Haste!

And I can add magic to my arcane bond/ring! Can anyone cast Create Food and Water? (to make it a ring of sustenance)

Sounds interesting. Let's try it!

Curious about the interplay between Anevia and Nurah.... More about Nurah than Anevia! Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23 Selann never-the-less does no better at "reading" the women than any man, ever!

He brushes the dirt off of himself and stifles a final cough. "There were some close calls. Junior saved me from making a wrong turn."

Hoping I understand. We each make all of the checks, then pick the best two?

Using Prescience to possibly replace one of the d20 rolls? Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Mythic Heroism +4 on all checks. Speed 60'

Mobility Check-Dex: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 4 + 12 = 38 Heroism, Dex mod, Speed

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 11 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 4 + 4 = 20 Skill mod, Heroism, Size

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 4 = 28 skill mod, Heroism

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Heroism

Climb: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 = 12 skill mod, Heroism. I'll use the Prescience here so the total is 15.

Selann proves his heroic capabilities, only failing on the survival check. But with guidance from Junior he isn't delayed even by that!

Selann waits until the rest of the group has had time to reach the entrance. "I'll cast Vanish on myself, then on you as you cast the Shatter. Nothing should spot us as we run out.... I'll keep my Dancing Lights about 30' ahead of me to lead both of us."

Selann grins back at Junior. "Let fate decide then." Once Fred is ready he holds his fist out to 'play the game'. "Loser stays to close this place, and risks his life."

"Anybody with a better idea, or any magic to make the attempt less risky, speak up. Otherwise, head out!"

Rock(1), Paper(2), Scissors(3): 1d3 ⇒ 3

Selann points out the crystalline vein. "Cracking that would likely collapse this whole cave, killing everything in it. A blast of sonic energy or a really powerful strike will shatter it. I can send a shatter spell at it, but it is a close range spell. Basically, everybody out and I'll bring down the ceiling and run for it. My enhanced speed.... might get me there. If not, continue without me."

With his mythic enhancement to speed, and the wand of Longstrider, his speed is 70'. He can cast the shatter spell with a mythic point for 8d6 of damage to the crystal. Then Vanish and run....

Or I could use Expeditious Retreat and my speed would be 90'. Doesn't stack with Longstrider. But the Mythic Impossible speed isn't typed.

Selann runs Dancing Lights up to the ceiling and looks for anything that might help figure out how to collapse the cave, without dying under the collapse.

Using Prescience to roll twice on this.

Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Know-Engineering: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Selann looks around, almost panicked by the power of magic required to close the rift. "We need to collapse this cave! That'll close the rift and kill anything even attempting to come through, as well as the new queen before it can be born!"

Seeing an opportunity Selann moves closer.... Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 and is confused by the noise.

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 8 But somehow he is able to push through and take advantage of his location. Using mythic power he casts a Flurry of Snowballs at the swarms.

I think with my position I should be able to hit all but the orange swarm. Area is a 30' cone. ??
Caster Level vs SR?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Cold damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 4) = 10 As an area effect, does the damage get +50%?

Moving per Junior's Advance ability. 50' speed.

Will save against gibbering: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Assuming the Vanish ended Selann would cast it again before moving.

Know-Planes Queen: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Know-Planes Swarms: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Casting Vanish to add to stealth
Stealth: 1d20 + 17 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 17 + 20 = 44

I think we still need a Knowledge-Dungeoneering check? I've only got a +6 so not likely. ??

Alive....

Don't count me out as a 'squishy' mage. If those things are vulnerable to cold I can send some snow ball flurries at them.

Sorry for my absence, but posting is nearly impossible for me now. I'm in intensive care at the Surgical Trauma Intensive Care Unit at Wake Med. Got an infection in my leg that turned into necrotizing fasciitis, or something like that. They've had to remove several pounds of skin and such, making my leg look like something from a horror show.

I will be back and would love to continue this game if possible, but will likely offline for an unknown period, possible 4-6 weeks.

Selann considers Greta's question, and wonders what she is planning. "Sneaking, yes. Lying? Not really. Never saw any good reason...."

Was Nurah here?

"We'll likely have to scout Drezen to see see what damages the demons have done. Has anyone seen Nurah?"

Glad to see the demon drop Selann watches for any other dangers. "We can clean and possibly re-dedicate this place. But have we cleared all of the evil creatures from it?"

Selann struggles to get free of the magic holding him.

Selann Will Save vs DC 22: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
