Sheher's page

Finishing a book is a major accomplishment and thank you for running it!

Sheher doesn't really mind hanging around the Kish ruins for a while, though she'll eventually want to head back to space. There's plenty of dangerous animals to hunt though if she does get bored.

Sheher cracks her knuckles. Some day that will be every one of us She intones and then wanders off to find a spot to mediate.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 = 27
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 7) + 6 + 8 = 27

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 = 24
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 7) + 6 + 8 = 25

Sheher keeps on swinging away. She knows the Kish is only delaying the inevitable.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 = 23
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 7) + 6 + 8 = 22

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 = 13
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 + 8 = 21

Starting to get the measure of who they're facing Sheher gets better at getting at least closer to landing a hit.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 = 26
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 + 8 = 22

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 = 17
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 + 8 = 24

To everyone else it seems like an anti explosion erupts out of Sheher simultaneously with the fire coming out of the Kish and as the energy waves compete and rage against each other they can see Sheher deliver at least one solid sock to his jaw through the maelstrom.

The last hit on her gave Sheher a bit of a rush of Entropic power, as she sees their foe start to explode with power she focuses on it to double its intensity. Then even as it starts to spread and cover her friends Sheher manipulates the rush of energy to dissapate it even as it rushes over them all.

Use extra reaction to spend resolve to gain ep. Thus have 2 ep, then use regular reaction to use Dampen which for 2 ep halves explosion damage for anyone who fails reflex and mitigates it completely for anyone who does. Sheher is unhurt and everyone else takes less damage.

That done Sheher proceeds to continuing to slosh acid over the Solarion.

bit of a complicated post incoming

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 16
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 5) + 6 + 8 = 24

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 14
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 + 8 = 20

Sheher swings swings and misses misses.

Sheher moves into a flank with Zolvi and attacks the last of the kish.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 5 + 2 = 24
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 + 8 = 21

Sheher moves to a corner around the final foe and ties to kick him between the legs to sicken him.

Dirty trick vs EAC+8: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 5 = 24

Swing swing away blue!

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 10
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (8, 5) + 6 + 8 = 27

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 13
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (8, 4) + 6 + 8 = 26

Woof at those rolls

Sheher keeps swinging away at blue.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 13
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 + 8 = 26

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 16
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 + 8 = 20

Sheher pushes past her allies to flank blue and attacks.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 5 + 2 = 20
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (8, 1) + 6 + 8 = 23

Ending up with only one target on hand Sheher smacks at it with acidic attacks.

Pink

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 13
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (7, 3) + 6 + 8 = 24

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 15
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 + 8 = 22

Apparently used up all the good rolls at the start of the book!

Hell, let her swing away from where she was

If Sheher can full attack without penalty from where she is then she will do so (have no idea if there's any soft cover shenanigans going on.)

If there's any hindrance to her attack then she would step south before attacking.

Potentially either a full attack or a single attack.

First attack at -4 if full attack or without if only attack.
Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 5 = 17
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 8) + 6 + 8 = 24

Second attack at -4 if full attack
Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 5 = 17
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 + 8 = 18

What terrible rolls! How hurt does this Kish look?

Whoops I'll move out of John's way next round

Sheher blinks at Varnais getting seriously hurt again and tries her best to get the threat down as fast as possible.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 = 17
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 + 8 = 26

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 = 28
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 + 8 = 25

Quite surprised at being hit. Sheher attempts to return the favour with two acid spraying punches.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 5 - 4 + 2 = 18
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (7, 1) + 6 + 8 = 22

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 5 + 2 = 19
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 8) + 6 + 8 = 26

Sheher swings at the flanked Kish.

Sheher continues swinging at Orange

Entropic Strike vs EAC-4: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 5 = 22
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 3) + 6 + 8 = 19

Entropic Strike vs EAC-4: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 5 = 16
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 + 8 = 16

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 5 = 23
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 + 8 = 21

Sheher moves in on orange and acid attacks.

Hey guys I'm going on vacation starting tomorrow for about five days so any posting will be real sporadic until the 16th or so!

Also I'm starting a new job on the 22nd. I have NO idea what that'll do to my posting rate but at least for a while it'll be slow for sure as I figure out how much free time I will have. Because of that I think I'm going to sadly bow out of continuing into book 5.

SHeher swings away at the wind.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 13
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 + 8 = 21

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 16
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (7, 7) + 6 + 8 = 28

Sheher takes a guarded step forward and returns her attention to her old friend fire.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 5 = 29
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 + 8 = 21

Sheher promptly puts Fire out of her mind and moves to join beating down on Water.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 5 = 20
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 + 8 = 22

Entropic Strike vs EAC AOO: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 5 = 15
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (7, 6) + 6 + 8 = 27

Sheher is probably unable to take advantage...

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 26
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 + 8 = 22

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 13
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (7, 5) + 6 + 8 = 26

Sheher starts swinging away with acid to keep from touching the fire thing.

Sheher shrugs and gets ready to open up the closest one.

Sheher decides to rest too. It's not like anything else more exciting was happening. Each RP is worth SO MUCH SP for Vanguards. It's pretty fun.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 26
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 + 8 = 20

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 28
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (8, 1) + 6 + 8 = 23

Sheher keeps swinging away with fist and foot at the offending goop.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 29
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 8) + 6 + 8 = 28

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 14
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (8, 4) + 6 + 8 = 26

It will get there in the end inevitably Zolvi. Sheher says calmly as one of her acidic attacks lands on the pile of goop.

Oh yeah, SHeher has another one of those purple stones!

Sheher begins the process of chipping away at the orange one just as she had done with the other.

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 12
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (7, 5) + 6 + 8 = 26

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 12
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 + 8 = 21

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 5 = 16
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 + 8 = 21

Sheher moves to the final target to smack it with an acid attack.

I can be in front of this if you wish to move back Varnais

Sheher activates her entropy point to reduce the damage on her by 9. 41 stamina damage

Then she resumes pounding on Brown

How hurt does it look?

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 26
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 + 8 = 19

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 16
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 8) + 6 + 8 = 26

Oh hope I didn't miss my turn.

Round 3.
Sheher continues to pound on brown, or attempt to, with her acid attacks!

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 16
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 7) + 6 + 8 = 27

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 21
Damage Acid or Bludgeon: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (7, 7) + 6 + 8 = 28

Thanks for the kind words all. A little bit of time has helped but your words of support have done even more.

It does seem like it's becoming more clear to people how deeply embedded and accepted bigotry has become in our society and that provides some hope that things might actually start to turn around.

I hate to get political for a bit here but if you guys could push back against people in your lives that make blanket statements about "Muslims" or "Islam" then that would be wonderful. Criticising specific Muslims or specific understandings of Islam on the other hand is not only perfectly okay but necessary. Blanket otherizations and demonization of us though is what makes tragedies like this far more likely to take place.

And that applies to any vulnerable group, not just the one that me and mine happen to be a part of.

Playing with you all is a bright spot in my life and brings me a heck of a lot of joy. I hope that I'll have the ability to keep doing so for a long time to come.

Sheher decides to pound on the brown enemy she is in front of her with acid attacks

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 17
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 + 8 = 25

Entropic Strike vs EAC: 1d20 + 8 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 5 - 4 = 24
Damage Acid: 2d8 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 + 8 = 17

I'm going to take a break from posting for a few days guys. The mosque attack in NZ has me feeling pretty distraught. So many want me and my family dead just for being us. It gets to me.

A full Kish team would need at least one non Kish to lead them right? A pilot or some such?

I'm thinking of a young Kish curate who's gone space crazy by being inspired by the sudden recent rush of visitors from space. Super enthusiastic technophile bouncing off the walls type. A real prodigy to explain why he's level 10 but too busy learning new things to be a dick about it.

I'd be willing to continue with a spacey Sheher if we continue with the same group but I do think I'd prefer a different character.

Group needs an Envoy for stamina healing!

You only meditate in the mornings? Sheher asks the Signifier. I meditate all the time!

Can I not just throw them? Sheher asks with a quizzical look on her face. Propulsion is propulsion. What matter whether by hand or by mechanical device?

Nope! Maybe Sheher should just bum some grenades from someone...

I will also take one of those exploding ibes Sheher says.

Sheher is fine with any of the options. She just needed a ten minute rest to get her Stamina points back.

Sheher is taking a few deep breaths but, perhaps irritatingly, looks just as unflustured and unhurt as she ever has.

I need a nap. She announces.

Moved

Not quite yet!

Sheher avoids some of the swarm's stinging attacks with her innate use of entropy to Mitigate some of the damage. Spend one ep to mitigate damage reduing by 6

Then she steps back out of the swarm. Still seeking to draw it away.

Hrm.. yeah.. the server idea kinda needs everyone to clear out but that doesn't seem likely? This has turned out to be a very tactical encounter. Maybe we all just run especially considering the building has started to collapse? We don't need anything else here do we? We got everything we needed right?
