Soro Epidote's page

I haven't played Soro in some time (refugee from a PFS Emerald Spire game that ended early), and when I pulled his chronicles together I found that he was 5th level. Since there are openings in the T5-6 table, I don't think I can play Soro at this table.

Feral is going to take over the campaign long enough to set it to inactive, unless any of you have someone you can think of who can run it. I'm still good with shutting it down until Tek gets back.

No--I slow-leveled last floor, so I'm currently at L4 1/2. If I take this one slow I'll be L5/L6/L7/L8/L9 for the next five levels, and if I don't I'll be L5 1/2, etc. No actual difference in level.

Cool! I vaguely remembered hearing about the change, but wasn't sure. It's pretty much academic, as either way we'll be the same level. (Though if I take the half-level now, I'll be out 2400 gp instead of 7400 gp. Hmmm.)

According to the advice in the sanctioned content key, we should take this one at Slow advancement. Since we took Slow advancement for Godhome, AIUI we have to take it for the Drowned Level as well--we can only change advancement rates at a level break.

That said, if not for the change at a break issue we'd be fine with normal advancement for the next several levels.

PFS #67750-10

No day job.

Email addy being sent by PM. Thanks for stepping in, Feral! Looks like a lot of rearrangement going on.

ETA: Will also take hex B6.

Soro tries to break free, but fails to extricate himself from the clinging mud!

CMB check, incl. guidance: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 = 15

I'd prefer going on hiatus, and letting Tek pick it back up when he has more time. (Speaking selfishly, I'd like him to concentrate on playing in EF's Shattered Star game, which is well into Part 6, and on playing in my Emerald Spire game.)

Tek, since you're pretty swamped do you want to put this on hold after we finish the level, until you have more time?

We'll see if it's still up after Soro's and Joey's attacks.

Sword to mudlord, incl. water penalty: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 2 = 20
Sword damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10 x 50% = 5 HP

Soro chops at it again, inflicting a shallow slice on the elemental.

Zcha'zcha has good timing--before the ward, his AC was 20, so without the ward it would have hit him for lots of damage *and* grabbed him.

Chop, incl. haste, guidance, and water penalty: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 24
Chop chop, incl. haste and water penalty: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 19

Chop damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 3) + 7 = 15 x50% = 7 HP
Chop chop damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12 x50% = 6 HP

This time, the oread lands both attacks, doing some real damage to the creature even through the water.

Standard attack, incl. haste and water penalty: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 12
Standard attack, incl. haste and water penalty: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 12

Soro can't manage to follow up his successful attack with another, and grumbles under the water with a sound like boulders clashing.

Soro drops his shield and draws his sword, chopping at the muck monster and hitting it despite the resistance of the water.

Attack w/+1 sword, incl. haste and underwater penalty: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 27
Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 = 11-->5 HP

Soro tries to help Aillig get free of the clinging mud.

CMB Aid Another: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Soro swims ponderously after the dwarf.

Joey, don't forget that you're flanking with Soro.

PA stab, incl. flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18

Soro slides around the great creature and tries to take advantage of its distraction, stabbing at it with his trident.

I think that hits, because it's grappling Joey atm and loses its DEX bonus. I'll roll damage in case it did.

PA stab damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Soro lets himself be carried into the room by the rushing water, closing with the giant eel. He can't manage to hit the writhing creature with his trident, though.

Swim check to navigate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Stabbity PA with trident: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

When an eel bites your knee/As you swim in the sea/That's a moray!

Swim check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Soro easily keeps his equilibrium as the doorway turns into a sluiceway!

Soro already has the ring from the first undine.

Soro surfaces like a breaching whale and pulls himself over to the side. "Anything on her?"

DC 12 Reflex save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Moving with a grace that seems out of place with his blocky body, Soro gets clear of the 'bot before it goes to pieces.

Trident PA to bot: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Soro is unable to follow up his success with another hit. He mutters in disgust.

Soro takes Fysus' advice to heart and stabs again at the construct.

Trident to bot, incl. guidance: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 = 21
Trident damage, if applicable: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Soro closes with the sharkbot and stabs at it! In the underwater confusion his blow goes well wide of the mark, though.

Trident PA: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Since Aillig acted first, can Soro and Joey add +1 to our attack rolls?

"Surrender...we'll let you live." Soro swims towards the crab creature and stabs at it.

Trident attack!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage, if applicable: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Soro swims out into the hallway and follows the current (and screaming wayang).

Soro shrugs. "I s'pose."

Soro nods, and pulls himself out of the water.

Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Soro grits his teeth and presses on in the face of the monster's fury. His ranger's training on the vulnerabilities of these magical beasts comes to the fore, and he stabs it deeply with his trident!

PA with trident, incl. favored enemy bonus: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21
PA damage, incl. favored enemy bonus: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 + 2 = 18

Trident ready, Soro double-moves towards the opening.

Soro takes the potion. "That crab knocked me around a little...not enough for this yet, though."

"Take her up when we leave. She can stay with her brother."

Soro shrugs. "Stabilize her and we'll take her out with us."

The oread growls out a bubbly curse, then swims out of the flank and lays into the eidolon. I'm not sure whether the elemental is hostile to anyone near it; if so, add +2 to Soro's attacks for the flank.

Hasted PA with trident: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 = 25
Hasted PA with trident: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24

PA damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
PA damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Soro jumps into the water after the undine, trying to reach her to stab her.

Trident PA, if he catches up with her: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage, if applicable: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Soro hesitates, lowering his trident. "Ah, hi."

Swim check to stop: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Despite (or perhaps because of) the density of his rocky body, Soro has no trouble at all keeping station by the door. He points at it and shrugs, as if to say Should I open it?

Soro goes with the flow unless interrupted.

Swim check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Soro is able to keep control of his movement; he tries to keep up with Joey, though, so as not to split the party.

Soro drinks his potion of water breathing, then opens one grate and swims down through it as best he can.

Before drinking his potion, Soro checks to see whether the grates in the floor will even open.

Soro will buy a trident for himself (15 gp).

That, or how about the grates in the floor of this one?

"We should go back up--take the undine with us and leave him."

Soro exhales in a rush, relaxing. "Not an easy one. Think I need something better than a sword for underwater fights. Anyone have a spear?"

The first blow is stopped by the ring of protection +1 that Soro got from the undine (but that I'd forgotten to update his character profile for), but the second slam gets past the oread's defenses. He returns the favor with a low growl of anger.

Greatsword PA to elemental, incl. BotF; add +1 if hasted again: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25
Greatsword PA damage: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (5, 2) + 13 = 20

Extra Greatsword PA to elemental, incl. BotF; add +1 if hasted again: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15
