Senach Slane's page

Thank you so much for running such an amazing series, GM Tyranius. I really enjoyed playing for you, and really look forward to doing it again in the future!

If you ever want to play a game or want a seat at one of my tables, say the word and its yours!

So, I am genuinely confused.. was breaking the alter really the final part of this?? Or was it just taking care of the bodies and wrapping things up?

Senach breaths a sigh of relief once all of the clean up is finished. The bodies have been taken care of, the alter sabotaged, and the victims had all been looked after and patched up as best as they could have been. He leads the way to the surface and takes a look around at aftereffects of the battles and the rubble left behind. "Well, we certainly make a statement wherever we go, don't we?!" he quips with a relieved smile. He turns and begins helping the guards to reestablish order, getting the prisoners sorted out for their cells or for the infirmary as needed.

He is genuinely surprised when the constable approaches and asks about the bell. Senach takes the note with a puzzled look. As he quickly scans it, his reptilian face darkens and his muscles tighten. Swearing, he hands the letter over to his companions to read. "Damn! Was there anything we could have done to prevent this?!" His eyes search each of his companions before he returns his gaze to the constable. "I assure you, sir, that we had nothing to do with this. Our concerns were the kidnappers and their victims.. and we certainly couldn't have made off with a bell of all things."

Thanks! With the 10 hardness, there was no way my little ole mace was going to get through that anytime soon!!!

As the last of the derros falls, Senach catches his breath for a moment before moving over to the alter and pool with the rest of his companions. He keeps his eye on the mites, but tries to chuffle the surviving humans into a group so that they could be examined and treated for wounds.
"Oi! Everyone over here! Rest up, we will bind your wounds and get you out as soon as we can! Erastil be praised, we survived the hunt and were able to track you! Come on now.. Everyone over here.. Just relax for a moment and we will get to you as soon as we are sure that everything is safe!"
Finally getting some order to the released prisoners and guards, he steps away towards his companions.

K. religion: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
"You're right, Lady Vulpina. We need to get these out of there somehow.. but first, let me take care of this.."
Senach strides over to the alter, calling out to Marduk. "Before we get anywhere near that, we should destroy this alter.. This was some sort of ritual, so the alter would be the focus point! Help me break this apart, then we can see to getting the bodies out and taking care of them before they rise."

Once the alter has been destroyed, Senach takes the larger chunks and begins tossing them to different parts of the cavern, dispersing the remnants as best as he can. Finished at last, he wipes the sweat from his forehead and rejoins Phoebee and LV. "What do you think? Any magic or anything? Any changes?"

CHARGE!!!!!! Forth unto the breach, my friends!!!! lol.. Yes, I am moving to the right as we are looking at the map, simply taking the fight to them and hoping to capitalize on the mayhem from the slaves rising up with us.

@LV: *Facepalm! then rolling!!
And that totally platonic favor may be repaid at any time you so desire!!

I can cover that last restoration with PP, no problem.

Thank you everyone so much for helping to save Senach. I really do appreciate it!!!

Mardak: I moved you a step forward to attack!

If the creature is still up:
Senach holds his own against the Derro as his team closes in to help him with this foe that refuses to go down.
He brings his mace back again for another try and finally lands a solid blow!

If the Derro was felled instead by Mardak's masterful stroke:
The way before the team cleared, Senach charges down the bridge and into the midst of the raging battle below. He makes for the closest Derro, hoping against hope that he is not making a mistake putting his back to the mite next to him. His mace lashes out, striking the Derro hard in the middle of the chest!
Movement marked with gray "X" to the east of the bridge

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 24
Dmg: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Senach continues to push against the derro that rushed him.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11
Dmg: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Assuming that Orange is still up..

Senach springs from his defensive crouch, mace raised high over his head. His feet touch the rough stone as his mace crashes in on the derro!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Push forward!" he cries out. "Push them back! Take the high ground!" With these words, he takes his own advice, stepping forward to hold the high point of the bridge.

Senach readies his mace and prepares himself for the onslaught. He slides his feet back and forth on the rock finding their grip, then turns to his companions. "It has been a pleasure, my friends! Lets end this!"

As Vulpina's pistol announces to the cavern that the cavalry have arrived and Phoebee lifts her voice in song to quicken their hearts, he also begins a chanting homily prayer to Erastil, begging for strength of arm and heart for himself and his companions.
No mechanical effect, just atmosphere
If we do get a surprise round, I will certainly do the standard action fight defensively for +2 AC

Thank god!! You made my day, GM! I made a Ducks reference earlier to some of my coworkers and all I got were blank stares!!!

Since it's received majority vote, I will adjust the tokens on the map, and one of the ladies may begin the mayhem per the convo!

Bash Brothers reunion?? Please, someone get that reference..

Phoebee + LV: That works for me if it works for everyone else. The fighters can stand shoulder to shoulder across the bridge with readied actions, while you two hit them until they charge. Once they close, we can mix it up.. it's only 3:1 odds, and from the description, I think that they are already wounded and roughed up. However, unless something develops, first chance that he gets Senach is rushing for the pool to stop the prisoners from being drowned.. I won't leave you guys hanging, but I will be moving as soon as we thin the herd enough to be manageable.

Ok. I will wait to get the other opinions before I make a real post here, but that does make a difference. Senach is going to want to head straight for the lake in that case..

Are they just going for a dip and coming back out, or are they going under and staying there as far as we can see?

Edited after looking at map: HOLY CRAPOLA, guys! What do you suggest? I think that maybe we can advance to the edge of the bridge and have them come to us? Melee up front, with Lady Vulpina and her gun, and Phoebee with her spells and CLW wands behind us? If we choose the location right and Phoebee can control the incoming with more grease, it may be that we can reuse the tactics from the ghoul here, and with better effect.

"By the gods!!" Senach exclaims, teetering between incredulity and irrational action. "This is vile.. I don't know whats going on, but we need to intercede! Lady Vulpina, Phoebee.. do either of you recognize this foul power??"

I am not sure where the prisoners are located on the map. Also, once they go into the water, are they coming back up at all?? Also, is there anything for the girls to make spellcraft checks for regarding the flashes of light from the stone? Senach is all for rushing forward, but I don't want to blindly charge in either. GM: Depending on where the enemy is located, is there a path available for a charge or will it be regular movement?

Senach carefully moves into the new area, looking with trepidation down the branching passages. Stepping forward to the single open patch, he waits until the Dancing lights get sent ahead before peering down the tunnel.

DC 15 Survival: 1d20 ⇒ 4
DC 12 Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Senach's face blanches as he picks up the note and reads it before handing it off to his companions to see. "I do not know what in the devil is going on here, be we need to keep moving, here!"

As the dancing lights appear, Senach looks to Lady Vulpina. "Thank you. Although I do not need as much light as humans, this does help and I have no lights of my own."

Looking around in the gloom, he tries to determine what is around him. "These Derro are a real menace.." he says to no one in particular. "I will be glad to rid this world of them!"

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Senach turns away from the gold, leaving it for the others to worry about as he looks over the prisoners with Lady Vulpina.

Senach also spends a couple charges from his wand, trying to heal some of the wounds from the men in the cages. "We should at least open the cages.. and probably spin the room around to let these guys go back to the prison!" Senach says, worried for the mens weakened conditions.

He puts his wand away and takes his mace back up before peering through the new door.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Senach waits until the paralysis begins to lose its grip on his muscles.. something that he has unfortunately begun to get used to. Sitting up, he rubs his face with a hand and looks about. "Thank Erastil that thing is finally dead!!" he says emphatically, breathing a quiet prayer of thanks to all the good gods. He digs his wand out and heals himself up before gingerly climbing to his feet and turning to his companions. "Kazu, Come here, man. Lets get you patched up! Anyone else hurt?"

CLW Me: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 2 = 8
CLW Kazu: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6) + 2 = 14

Checking his friends over, he finally puts away his wand and retrieves his mace. "Be careful, Vulpina! We don't know what other surprises they have for us here.."

The holy warrior steps up behind the kitsune, looking over the cages and their occupants.
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Great job girls! Yall rock!
~says Plank the paralyzed snake..

Senach tries to stick his tongue out at Lady Vulpina, but his muscles still are not under his command yet..

...What PC hating jerk gave RAGING BARBARIAN levels to a freaking Ghast?!?! Lmao.. Just joking if any devs happen to be looking over the thread.. ok, only kinda joking..

I quite agree on all points!
Gongrats, Kazu for landing a blow!!

And yea, I am thankful that I am immune to the disease, but other than that this has been really rough for the poor sot!!

Sounds good, LV.

With the last control left to him, Senach manages to toss his weight to the side, unbalancing himself to topple over like a felled tree.

Fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Senach catches the bite and one claw on his shield, pushing the creature back. Unfortunately, the damn thing swipes down and manages to catch Senachs leg with his other claw. The Nagaji curses as once more he feels his muscles stiffen and refuse to comply with the messages his brain is sending.

CRAP!! AGAIN!! *shaking my head* Well, get me out of the way and I will take a bit of a siesta again..

I wish, Phoebee..

Well, thats 23 points of damage at least here.. and all in one round. If the grease drops its AC enough, its possible the damage could go up from Kazu's crossbow! I am really hoping that this is the end of the thing!!!

Senach waits for his turn as Lady Vulpina takes aim with pistol and blade, then when she drops back he steps forward. He crouches behind his shield and moves forward, waiting until the damn thing moves just right.. With a cry for Erastil, Senach drops his left arm and the shield and brings his mace over hand and right towards the ghasts head!

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 + 3 = 17
Dmg: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 3 = 15

Senach is ready to go.

Sounds good to me! Hopefully with a few good dice rolls we can end this quickly!

Vulpina wrote:

1. Not sure if Vulpina can shoot through allies and around corners? Seems like a full cover situation.

You can also shoot around corners and will have cover for anything attacking back which means no AoO.

That sounds like Ms. Vulpina should be first in line.. Walk up, stick the gun around the corner, pull the trigger, solve the problem.. :-)

Ok that's cool. Thanks for setting me straight!

Kazu, I don't remember how many charges I used, but I know I spent a few charges healing you..?

No buffs here. I believe my smite lasts until the damn thing dies or I release it.

As for waiting, the only down side to that is the possibility of prisoners dying before we can get there.. or some other time sensitive thing that we don't know about yet..

No buffs here. I believe my smite lasts until the damn thing dies or I release it.

Senach shakes his head. "Then with all due respect, Lady Vulpina, I am against you getting that close to the beast again without dire need.."

I am good with that as long as everyone else is.

I think the best bet is the one at a time approach Kazu describes. If LV can get the blindness to work, we could safely switch to a flanking tactic, but we are running out of options, and a bum rush obviously isn't going to be enough.

Senach smiles ruefully. "Trust me, I don't want to be either!! if someone else wants to take first, I will defer to your judgment."

CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (6, 1) + 2 = 9

Senach slowly regains the ability to move, all the while laying there relieved as he sees his friends minister to Lady Vulpina. As soon as his arms are released from the paralysis, he graps his wand and gives himself a couple of taps to heal all of his wounds. "That was very well done, all of you. I think at this point, we all owe our lives to someone!" Settling back as the healing magic courses over him, he looks to his team. "Kazu, your first idea may work but is extremely dangerous. Seeing that every person so far to engage this thing has fallen to its paralysis, I think that your second idea would be best. Since I am immune to disease, I volunteer to be first in line."

Turning to Lady Vulpina, he continues. "I especially like your idea. Do you have to have line of sight to cast your spell? You're right.. it may not work.. but if it does, that could mean the end of this thing."

*Fingers crossed* COME ON PHOEBEE!!!!!!!

Senach hangs tough, unable to so much as twitch a finger to help his friends. He feels himself get pulled back out of the fray, but a single tear rolls from his frozen eye as he watches Lady Vulpina fall next to him and begin bleeding out. Inside his head, he is screaming and cursing, using every bit of willpower he has trying to overcome the paralysis. His finger may have twitched towards his wand.. but no, that was only a ghost sensation. Trapped, he howls in despair at failing once more.

I am more than willing to contribute whatever PP I have left to you, Lady Vulpina. Is therre anyone still standing this round that could grab either LV's wand or mine just to stabilize her??

Phoebe: It looks like you are still up for the round. If the GM would permit a free action to draw from another character as part of your move action, you could grab my wand as you move past and then standard action to use it on Lady Vulpina.

Edit: Looks like I am occupying the only space available. If need be, Kazu can push me over (or just assume I fell while being pushed out of the way) and you should be able to stand over me to reach LV

Phoebee: I have a wand of CLW on my belt that you can use to stabilize Lady Vulpina if you can get to her! Just watch for the AOO!

I had just signed in for the first time since early Monday morning when I received the message.

Mondays are absolutely terrible for me under the best of circumstances, and this weekend/week has certainly not been that by any stretch of the imagination. The reason Mondays are so bad is that it is my transition day between my two jobs. Sunday night I work 1700-0630 Monday morning, then turn around and am at my other job from 1400-0200ish Tuesday morning. (heavy emphasis on the "ish") Typically, I am lucky to get around 5 hours of sleep between the two shifts, and I am wiped when I get home Tuesday morning and sleep pretty much until I am due back at work Tuesday afternoon! I am sorry for how this has affected the game so far!

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
CRAP!!!

Senach rips his hand away from the creature, but not before the terrible venom of the undead begins to course through his veins. He turns to look at his companions, and manages to eek out the words "Fall Ba.." as his limbs stiffen and freeze.

LMAO It wouldn't be so bad if the RNG worked as poorly for the mooks as it is for us!

I really don't know what we can do here.. accept head in after it. Otherwise, its just going to munch on Mardak, and that is not something Senach could stand by for.

I am going to go ahead and try Vulpina's idea and head down the tunnel, take a swing, and then take five ft steps trying to clear room for everyone else to come in behind.

If anyone has something they want to try first, Senach is fine with holding action until that is done.

"MARDAK!!!" Senach cries out, rushing to his feet as the big man hits the floor, grievously injured. His previous charge in no immediate danger, Senach bows his head in a quick prayer of protection.
"Erastil, grant us your blessing and protection as we cleanse this scourge from your lands.."

He hefts his mace and starts down the hall, purpose and defiance in every step. He tries to swing his mace around the corner at the ghast, but.. once more his luck fails him. His booted foot slips in the puddle of blood from Mardak and his swing goes very wide.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 + 3 - 2 = 8
Dmg: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 + 3 - 2 = 8
Jesus, the dice bot hate me in this game
