Sim Calinean's page

Congrats, Sim! What wonderful news. Boy or girl?

A girl and also our first child!

Thanks for the kind words.

At the hospital. Baby is finally here! Everything is fine, but expect my posts to be non-existent on the following days until everything is settled.

Sim moves to inspect the lever, trying to discern what it will do. As he hears the sounds of combat, he turns. "I should be on the other side!"

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Sim accepts Shiv's help and once he is on the other side he tries to peruse it quickly before yelling for Kahli to follow.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Sim thinks, trying to decide if it wise for him to move through the opened space. "This doesn't make sense... the door is moving down, while the water is moving up. When the door fully opens, the water will reach the other room as well!"

Sim follows Kahli back to the main room close to the others. Sim looks as the door slowly opens and wonders if the opening is already wide enough for him to slip through. "Do you think it is possible to have a switch on the other side that would speed this up? I could squeeze through and try to find it."

Sim holds his breath, looking between Lash striking the ring and the water pouring through the wall.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Sim keeps looking around, but finds nothing so far.

What a series o awesome rolls!

Sim raises his shield and slowly approaches the men.

Moving to AF5.

I also like the spoiler method as it helps to keep the game moving.

Sim points to where the men run. "You heard that? Someone is in pain. Perhaps they have brought harm to themselves and are more inclined to listen now..."

With his shield raised, he moves towards the southern passage.

Moving to AA7.

Sorry for the absence. For some reason Paizo logged me out and I did not realize... was seeing no warning for the posts!

When the men flee, Sim turns to the glue holding him in position and hacks to free himself.

Damage: 3d4 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) + 3 + 6 = 14

Rolled the combined damage for the 3 rounds.

Sorry for the confusion. Move Sim to Q13 then.

Moving to P16.

With his shield high, Sim moves around, trying to find said enemies.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

At the mention of the enemies being really nearly, Sim raises his shield and moves a bit ahead, trying to take a look on said enemies.

While not versed in the arts of healing, Sim does his best to help Marcos as he instructs. When not needed, Sim keeps his watch, ready for more dangers.

Aid Another (heal): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Aid Another (heal): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

I only lost 1hp, so I'm fine.

Seeing the danger Khali is in, Sim jumps over the pit and rushes to her side.

Move Action: Move to Z13 (jumping)
Standard Action: Move to AA10 (on top of Khali)

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 I believe it is a DC 10 to jump 5ft without a 10ft running distance.

Sim moves towards the pit and away from Lash's path so she can shoot. He then slashes with his gladius.

Move Action: Move to Z17
Standard Action: Attack with inspire courage and power attack

Attack (gladius), IC, PA: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 11
Damage (gladius), IC, PA: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 7

Sim will move to Y16 in order to protect Lash.

The fall isn't as painful as he had expect, but the idea of remaining inside the creature was so disgusting that Sim tries to leave as fast as possible. He sheathes his gladius and puts his shield on his back, freeing his hands so he can climb free.

Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

We are expecting our first daughter... will be born by the end of March!

We also have two cats lol.

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

As the ooze comes for him, Sim tries to jump away from it, but he is too slow...

Hope I'm not dead.

With the new threat revealed, Sim lowers his defenses just a bit in order to bring the offensive to the remaining zombie.

Standard Actio: Attack defensively (slashing)
Attack (gladius), defensively, IC, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 4 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 4 + 1 - 1 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6

On the slim chance of this attack finishing the zombie, Sim will move to Z17.

As a player, I agree with the order Shiv posted.

As a character, I'm happy with an order from the most common information to the most obscure... Like a troll's regeneration or a medusa's petrifying gaze.

Figuring his companions had the situation mostly under control, Sim focuses on attacking the creature, not thinking it is too much of a threat.

Move Action: Move to AB17
Standard Action: Attack. A gladius can deal both Piercing and Slashing damage!

Attack (gladius), IC, PA: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 9
Damage, IC, PA: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5

Sim readies his shield and draws his gladius, and waits for the others to signal they are ready before kicking the door open.

Posting this on all my games!

I'll be travelling from today until December 28th due to the holidays. Please bot me as needed! Thanks and good holydays!

Sim readies his shield to protect the others.

Total Defense

AC: 29 (21 Tch, 19 Fl) | CMD: 21; adjacent allies get +3 luck to AC and CMD

Presented with this new challenge, Sim secures his shield on his back. "I'll go first, but just to be sure, give me the rope." Sim then wraps the rope around his waist before coming close to the water and then crossing it with care.

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Sim was about to remove his armor when Shiv does do in his place. He then keeps his watch.

Sim shakes his head at Marcos remark. "Things are getting stranger and stranger."

Thought that with DR 5/slashing Lash's damage would not affect it.

"Am I in Heaven?" Sim asks drowsily as he opens his eyes and see Lash close to him, but then is brought back into action at the mention "carnivorous plants".

Sim steps forward and slash at the vines.

Free Action: Step to K18 (or move if it is difficult terrain)
Standard Action: Attack

Attack (gladius), defensively, IC, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 4 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 4 + 1 - 1 = 17

AC: 27 (19 Tch, 19 Fl) | CMD: 19; adjacent allies get +2 luck to AC and CMD

I'm not against it, however I feel the work involved in using it isn't worth it.

Sim moves slowly inside room, looking around for any danger while trying to reach the central pillar with the torches. "Unless those torches are magical, someone had to light them up... we might not be alone here."

Moving to H19 avoiding the greenish tiles, possibly K21>K20>J19>I19>H19.

Sim follows along. "All these locked doors do not make much sense, do they? If those who trapped us in here want to see us fighting creatures and surviving traps, what will happen to their fun if we can't move past a door?"

Sim continues to attack the statue, focused on the combat.

Standard Action: Attack

Attack (gladius), defensively, IC, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 4 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 4 + 1 - 1 = 24

AC: 27 (19 Tch, 19 Fl) | CMD: 19; adjacent allies get +2 luck to AC and CMD

Sim continues to fight, more worried about protecting his allies.

Free Action?: 5ft. step to K2? I believe Kahli has not specified to where she was moving to, if she moved into melee at all. If possible would like to move to K2 as then Sim would be able to keep protecting Shiv, Croc and even Kahli if she moves into melee.

Sorry, yes, Sim is granting both Shiv and Croc +2 luck bonus to AC and CMD.

Sim moves between Shiv and Croc in order to protect both with his shield before attacking like them.

Move Action: Move to J2.
Standard Action: Attack defensively and with Power Attack.

Damage, IC, PA: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 7

"You have a point, Lady Kahli, but I believe now it is already too late... Shiv is already too close to the statue to safely retreat..." Sim points out as he runs forward.

Double move to L3.

Sim moves after Shiv.

Double move to L10

Sim follows Lash.

Double move to H15.

Sim continues to move ahead, slowly and carefully, towards the door.

Sim continues to combat the centipede.

Standard Action: Attack 1 with fight defensively and power attack

Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5

AC: 27 (19 Tch, 19 Fl) | CMD: 19; adjacent allies get +2 luck to AC and CMD

I think this is our first round ever where everyone missed (we even had two AoOs that missed)! Woo! Congrats to us haha

Not sure if it would matter, but Sim's AC only increases once he attacks, thus for the AOOs his AC would be 22.

Sim moves past Shiv and turns around to attack the bugs, trying to avoid being hit

Move Action: Move to I11 (Acrobatics to avoid AOO)

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

AC: 27 (19 Tch, 19 Fl) | CMD: 19; adjacent allies get +2 luck to AC and CMD

I agree. I hated using 3 out of my 5 uses for the day! But it's better than dying!

Now who's hurt?

Sim went down to 8/22

After the combat, Sim moves towards Kahli. "Lady Kahli, could you perhaps have some healing to spare? I can feel a pain on my shoulder that could limit my abilities to properly fight."

"Hold on!" Sim voices his encouragement as he continues to fight.

Standard Action: Attack with fighting defensively

Attack (gladius), defensively: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 4 = 23
