HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

"Fine, we'll come along, but I'll keep my sword out if you don't mind. I don't intend to use it unless I have to to defend myself."

Diplomacy
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus raises an eyebrow, even as he raises his greatsword to defend himself and his companions behind him.
"Why does he demand our presence? Does he mean to parley?"

Intimidate (10)
10 + 8 = 18


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Not having the money yet to resize the armor he found, he has it stored at his home, and thoroughly cleaned by his squire.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

We still haven't divided up the loot yet (or sold it, unless I'm missing something). Diurn, we are still squabbling over the masterwork plate, and I offered my banded mail in exchange.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

"Are you sure we'll see them again. The half-elves, I mean? Now that we know they weren't exactly who they said they were, perhaps their reasons for being down there were different too." Adolphus muses aloud.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Haven't heard back from our cleric yet. :(


1 person marked this as a favorite.
HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

((Ye're a rough and uncouth people, all speaking in scottish brogues.)) :P


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Yes. Feel free to use the other one I made up to transfer over.

I'd be more vigilant as the math-keeper, but I've been having more stress and allergy headaches, and that totally messes me up in that regard. Thanks for offering to take over. :P


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus aids Darthal in his search for information about the noble half-elves who arrived unexpectedly but were very welcome, in some places, taking over the search himself.

Diplomacy
1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Haven't heard anything about it, myself. Though it would seem like a good place to do it.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Sigh, I imagine its worth it. Adolphus still hasn't received his inheritance, so he'll be able to get it back. :P


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

In all honesty, I'd hoped someone else could take over the logistics of treasure tracking. Since the break, I've sort of lost interest in doing it (working more). And we need to redistribute the healing potions since we lost a few characters.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

It's on my profile. Shackled City Treasure Tracker. (Google Doc). And apologies for hijacking the gameplay thread.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus will take the full plate if thats agreeable to everyone. Its masterwork which makes the armor check penalty one less than his banded mail, and the AC 2 higher.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

I have a list of what we found in our treasure tracker, finally updated. I think some of the stuff was taken by characters as upgrades.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

I'd like to see if I can find a Masterwork Greatsword before we head back down. And if I can afford it.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

"The giant floating eye thing has a name?!" Adolphus starts.

"Be...hold...er. Sounds almost sacreligious. Are you sure we should be using that name?" He looks around nervously. "It won't summon it back or anything, will it?"


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus nods.

"Aye, fair enough. A good stiff drink is in order."


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

"First of all, Terrem, do you want to go with the creature? Do you know who it is?" He next addresses the giant floating eye-thingy. "Pardon our reluctance, sir, to let a young orphan go with a rather dangerous and imposing creature such as yourself. If we could be a little more certain that the child will come to no harm, these negotiations would meet swifter conclusions. Do you represent someone of import perhaps?"

Diplomacy (10)
10 + 7 + 1 = 18


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

"Aye, come back for them. We are barely recovered from the last fight, and I think we need to be better prepared for whatever we might find in the future."


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus frowns at the idea.

"Tis not really an honorable thing to do. Perhaps he should be put in irons and brought to justice?"


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

As did I, aside from the stupid initiative idea. But apparently thats one of those things that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Kazmojen was difficult, I agree. Ding?


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus leans back with a sigh, wiping the sweat and blood from his face with the back of his hand.

"Now what, more villains? Or was that the last of them?"


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Yeah, I admit that. I was just saying that other PBP's worked that way, and it seemed to work a little better. But perhaps it doesn't work in every situation.

EDIT: I just noticed that Adolphus was flanking too. So perhaps he gets an additional + 2 to hit?


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus Attack of Opportunity
1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20 (due to aid another)
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4) + 6 = 16


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

They can also aid to improve my AC, I think. And I know about the initiative change. It's hard to wait sometimes. :P


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Hitpoints 15/18

Adolphus moves forward and brings another powerful swing to bear against Kazmojen.

Power Attack
1d20 + 6 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 1 + 2 = 24 (+additional aids?)
2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 + 3 = 17


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

I'm saying don't forget to do it... I thought you would roll for it immediately. But I suppose we're waiting for the round recap.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Against Adolphus for standing up.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Don't forget Kazmojen's AoO.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Especially considering I have to roll an 18 or higher to hit, as it is. The +2s could help me use power attack.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

If we were fighting only 1 creature, I could pull him off you, Diurn. But no such luck this time around.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Well, standing from Prone is also a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity. However there's no penalty for being Prone if he does it that way. So, Adolphus instead:

1) stands up from Prone (move action, triggers attack of opportunity-note he does have the adjacent bonus)
2) moves to J7 (5-foot step)
3) retrieves healing potion (move action, triggers attack of opportunity)

Hitpoints 8/18.
For some reason, I thought crawling 5 feet did not trigger AoOs, but I looked it up and I was wrong.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus crawls to J7, where he retrieves his healing potion and quickly imbibes it.

3d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 7, 6) + 3 = 17


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus is still unconscious, but he is stable.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Healed by Diurn's holy magic once again, Adolphus feels strong enough to raise his sword another time.

"Whatever you are doing, Diurn, to keep me alive, keep doing it!"

Attack on Kazmojen
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17

This time, he does not open his defenses by cleaving through.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Yeah, that Critical Threat roll is actually a potential Critical itself, but I don't think our DM is using the chained crit rule. :P


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Look at the bright side, if we beat this encounter we'll definitely be level 3. :)


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Barely recovered from his wound, Adolphus swings at the creature Kazmojen.

"Aid me! I'm not holding back this time!"

Full Attack, Power Attack
1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 24
2d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 2) + 9 = 17

Crit Threat
1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 1 = 23
2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 = 19

Cleave to hobgoblin3
1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 1 = 21
2d6 + 9 ⇒ (4, 2) + 9 = 15


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

+1 or even +2 if I go back to a normal attack probably won't hit. But if its only good for one round, we can say I did to little effect.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Sorry about not posting lately. Super busy at work. I see we're back in the swing of things! Excellent.

Seeing his friend Diurn go down, Adolphus calls for aid.

"Friends, be careful! Their blades are sharp and their jaws are powerful!"

He then wields his sword more defensively as he strikes at one of the hobgoblins.

Full Attack, Power Attack, Flanking, Shield of Swings on Hobgoblin1
1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10
2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 = 19 (9.5 damage due to Shield of Swings)


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus moves up towards the door, lifting his blade in preparation for combat.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus nods in gratitude to Diurn. "A good plan. Lead on, Darthal. You seem to have a better knack to navigating this confusing place anyway."


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

"I need a bit of a breather, myself. Unless we have more healing magic? I could assist them in the escort."

This is a diplomatic request for further healing, not really an attempt to leave.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

"Perhaps you could aid us by escorting these refugees back up to the surface. I would give them a little gold to help them get back on their feet, and to at least feed themselves after being thus harshly treated, but I fear we do not have much in a spendable form."

Adolphus aids any of the other fallen or injured, if he is able.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Adolphus manages to get to his knees and stand up, albeit wearily.

"I assure you, it was as surprising for me as it was for you. I left myself a little too open there at the end."


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

What are the brown circles on the map, can they be moved onto?


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

With Diurn's final blast of energy channeling, Adolphus is restored to vigor, the heavy gashes on his neck and face seem to be magically stitched up a little more.

He yells at the hobgoblin that had knocked him unconscious, then just rolls out of the way so the halfelves can go in on the remaining enemies.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Ah, okay. 'Tis just a little unnerving to go down in two rounds, as a fighter, I mean. I was going by corners, instead of the center of the square, but I guess that determines line of sight. Ah well, at least I'm stabilized. On with the show.


HP 15/18 AC 18/11/17 (19/12/17 when adjacent to 2 allies) F +4, R +1, W -1 (R +2 when adjacent to 2 allies)

Stabilization
1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 1 - 5 = 16

Honestly, I thought that girl was flanking. But I guess not.
