Spidre's page

It's been fun!

"No. We should be wary of this priestess and whatever power she may possess." Spidre concluded at Rikal's words.
"I think we should heal our wounds before going any further." She added, looking to Chotka.

Spidre's arrows kept flying towards the metal beast, looking for another rewarding mark.
+1 Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 15, Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8
+1 Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 27, Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

Raven shifted to a more workable position and brought down his bardiche hard against the thing.
Bardiche: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24, Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 = 16

Spidre's bowstring hummed as she loosed more arrows against the robot facing Karek.
+PBS, +robot slayer, +raging song
+1 Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 22, Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9
+1 Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 30, Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7

Meanwhile, Raven shifted his position and struck out again with his polearm.
Bardiche: 1d20 + 6 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 4 + 1 = 6, Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

+1 Comp Longbow confirm?: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 28, Extra Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 15

...And then there were three.

Good luck Karek.

Hm, looking at the map it looks like:
1) I can't control my tokens
2) Chotka & Rikal have left me no line of fire

Spidre moves in further to assist Karek as Raven follows. "Help them!" she directs, indicating Chotka and Rikal.
PBS, robot slayer, raging song
+1 Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31, Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Raven Bardiche with cover: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 8, Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

I keep forgetting my longbow is adaptive so I can use Rikal's song.

Spidre shifts her position and looses two shots at the robot facing Chotka.
+PBS & robot slayer
+1 Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 13, Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Raven maintains his guarded stance.
Readied attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19, Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Spidre moves into the room and fires her bow at Chotka's quarry even as Raven moves in to protect her.
+1 Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27, Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Raven will move up in front of Spidre (but not blocking her shot) and ready an attack with his polearm.

Wait. Is this the temple or the smilers' den?

"Maybe we should come back later." Spidre shrugged.

"Seems like a bit much." Spidre remarks as she surveys the interior.
Almost forgot that Raven should be T10 checking for traps & stuff.

...all turning save the largest two. Those sat... where one might expect doors.

Chotka, Last of the Blackeyes wrote:

Did the large unmoving gears move when Spidre knocked?

They kept turning as before.

I'm confused

Spidre approaches the door-like gears and knocks, following up with a shrug and a scurry away.

"Let's try not to pick any fights we don't need to though. We will need our strength and arrows for the Smilers."
We can talk to her but if we have to kill her let's try to do it later if possible.

"I don't think we should pursue the manticore. Not yet anyway. I have an idea about that. But I agree, anywhere would be made better by ridding it of smilers."

Let's handle this scientifically.
1d3 ⇒ 2
Hey! Warlord over all Numeria!

"Is that where we're going next?"

Well this was less of a victory than I'd hoped.
Spidre helps gather up the loot in preparation to secret it away in the ratfolk lair.
"Well this is what we came for, right? Where to now, Warleader?"

Spidre takes the bow of the fallen Birdfood as evidence of his slaying to back up the Warleader's words.
I'll assist in whatever social check may be required. Assuming I can T10 I can auto-assist on anything.

Is there loot? :D

"I feel like someone should stay here and help handle the fallout. Changes in leadership can be messy." But admittedly that's not a very Hyborian thing to do
Spidre remarked with a look of concern. But even as she did so, her hands were digging into the pockets of the fallen.
"Raven, keep the war leader safe. Let him deliver the news."

Spidre's arrows having found their mark, she switches targets to the hawks attacking Rikal. Who needs to update his HP, I think
She looses another pair of arrows towards the attackers.
+1 Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 2 = 25, Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
+1 Comp Longbow: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 2 = 17, Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
+1/+1 for PBS if within 30ft

Raven maintained his defensive posture near the warleader, prepared to cut down the next attacker just as he'd done with the first.
Prepared attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9, Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Spidre begins targeting the closest enemies in an effort to thin the opposing group.
+1 to attack/damage if within 30ft
+1 Comp Longbow 1: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 2 = 15, Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
+1 Comp Longbow 2: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 = 14, Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Raven takes a step forward and maintains his defensive stance.
5ft step up to give the squishies some space, then readied attack vs first one in range.
Bardiche: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23, Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
EDIT: or move in with Chotka if he does so

Spidre conjures a swirl of sparkling sand between her hands and tosses it into the air. It flies forth and bursts into brilliant motes around their enemies.
Glitterdust, 10ft radius, Will DC 15 or blinded, 4 rounds, new save at end of turn, targeting as many as possible
She then draws her bow and prepares to engage at range.

Raven follows Chotka, wielding his polearm defensively.
Not sure what Chotka will do, but if he hangs back Raven will stand next to him and ready an attack. If he charges forward, Raven will charge forward with him and attack with his polearm directly.
Bardiche: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15, Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Spidre stands in the back with her creepy Eidolon friend.
Raven will want to be here for this.

Spidre nods at Karek's clear-headed declaration.

If we still had Groo I'd say let him get an audience and then kill him bare-handed while we make havoc outside to block reinforcements.
But we don't have Groo, so we'll have to think about this a little.
Anyway, birdfood or dish first?

"I don't mind. I've always lived underground."

Are we agreed? Stay here for a while, take down the dish?

Spidre nods to Redtooth with a light grin at the acknowledgement.
"Fortified? I'd rather a secret area." She responds to Rikal's question.
"I think we should break this 'dish', if that's what was taking Torch's fire. Aside from that, the Steel Hawks could be important allies if we can eliminate this 'Birdfood'." Spidre says, considering a moment. "Where is this manticore?"

Spidre nods and goes with everyone, quickly going from leader to follower.

I'm not totally sure where I'm rushing them off to, but hopefully someplace safe but with few entrances/exits.

Spidre tries to signal to her comrades that it's time.
Bluff (pass secret message)?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

So can I tell them of the plan? Do I need to make a diplomacy roll?

"Pssst! It's not looking good for you guys, but if you sit tight my friends over there-" Spidre says, pointing "-are going to help us out. When they do, follow me and I'll make sure you're safe."
Diplomacy if needed: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

"Oh, sure! I'll just run out in between all the arrows and flying metal balls. Because I'm small, and that's my job. Glad to do it!" Spidre says with much consternation and sarcasm. Nevertheless, she draws up her hood and attempts to sneak towards the rat-things to tell them of the plan.

Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

"If we're going to help the rats, we need to make it obvious we're helping them so that they will help us in return. Unless we're just doing a good deed, but I'm not sure either side of this is on the side of 'good'."

"This might sound crazy, but I bet those rats know more about what's going on in this city than most. And I bet they'd talk, if we helped them." Spidre shrugs. "But you guys are the ones who would be getting shot."

I can handle that.
Spidre shrugs and stays within the shadows of the bigger ones.
"Just so I know, do we have a plan here?"

Spidre is surprised by the boldness of Chotka's answer, but realizes it makes sense given what they'd been told of the town. And, of course, what the orcs in her company were naturally like.

Sure doesn't ring any bells for me, but I assume there's various gangs/factions around here we won't have heard of before.

What a shame. Truly he was our barbarian-est barbarian.

I hope to goodness we are approaching a little more first.

Spidre notes the guards but tries not to look like she's looking at them. "Think they'll stop us?"

Man that was like... a long time.

What I had said was, maybe one of you full-sized folks should lead the way since I'm tiny and this city has that pecking order.

"Mayanda, servant of Hellion, mistress of the deep metal cave." Spidre responds in her proudest voice.
Bluff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Oh, I like that answer!
I think my problem is I'm a pathological liar.

I didn't want to interrupt Chotka. He's getting better results than I am.

"We do not seek to deal in needs, but in wants and plenty."
I said something like that before my post got eaten.

Sorry for how quiet I've been, my PC is dying on me.

I thought you meant "player character" and I was like "wait what?"

Not... what I was going to say, but sure we'll roll with that.
