Bumping to mark as inactive. It's been a blast all, sorry to see the game end. Please PM me if for any reason it gets moving again.

Pew pew!

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

I do not threaten with a bow, so I don't get an AoO.

Tess continues to pump the creature full of arrows!

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Tess begins to pump the creature full of arrows!

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

"On it." Tess goes and checks the suggested doors for anything unexpected.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22 +3 in dim light

Tess turns back to the others. "The way is clear, let's keep moving." She lets the others push on while she takes up the rear.

"I do." The stealthy, perceptive elf says. She slips forward on quiet feet, keeping an eye out for guards and traps alike.

Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16 +3 in dim light

This weekend I have a very large tournament to attend (I'm an umpire) which will take up most of my time from Friday to Sunday. I should still be able to check the boards later at night, but starting on Friday my posting will be very scarce until late on Sunday.

"We need to go slower and scan for traps. This place is not built for guests." Tess gives a brief concerned look at the two who were caught in the trap. "Come, let's keep moving."

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35 +3 in dim light

Does anybody else have a higher perception than Tess? We should have a designated trap checker.

I'm not entirely sure if I was in the kitchen or not.

Tess scoffs. "Set off by its name. Somebody has a bad sense of humor." She remarks. She sees the books and scrolls and takes an interested look.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 +3 in dim light

Oh yeah Tess had no intention or stealing or manipulating anything, she's just snooping.

If I may be so bold, what are some of the things I may find in the journal? Out of character I'm trying to find a reason for Tess to like you :P

~Last Night~

During the night, Tess takes the opportunity of her watch to go through Orgar's things. She sits up on the high ground and takes out items from his back. Tindertwig, silk rope...all sorts of little useful things. What's this? She pulls out a journal. Jackpot.

Sorry if I'm being too liberal with my actions here, Tess just naturally doesn't like orcs and their kind.

~Present Time~

Tess looks up at the tower and narrows her eyes, scanning the walls.

Casting heroism. As we go inside, Tess will cast cat's grace, fly, and gravity bow.

Tess eyes the half-orc suspiciously. And he's named Orgar. However she keeps her silence. She can't deny the help he was in that fight.

Pew pew!

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4) + 5 = 10

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 5) + 5 = 12

The barrage continues!

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 5) + 5 = 15

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3) + 5 = 11

Confirm: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Crit Damage: 4d6 + 10 ⇒ (1, 5, 4, 1) + 10 = 21

Note to self: Pick up clustered shots.

Tess continues trying to destroy the more damaged robot.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4) + 5 = 11

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4) + 5 = 13

Tess leans back and fires a pair of arrows, which strike and then bounce between the targets!

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 = 13

Ricochet Shot: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 3) + 5 = 10

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2) + 5 = 10

Ricochet Shot: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4) + 5 = 13

Tess casts another spell on herself in preparation for the assault!

Ricochet shot.

Tess hardly has time to address the half-orc before the robots burst in. Tess casts gravity bow on herself.

Just checking.

Tess comes back. "Hallway is clear, there's a few doors up ahead."

Tess drops heroism on herself and motions for the party to wait as she moves forward to scout the area.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27 +3 in dim light
Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

"Intelligent? I mean, more so than a rock. But not by much."

Tess frowns. "Not threatening them would be the mistake. Their kind only responds to violence. If they think us weak they shall try to take what they can from us."

Tess comes back silently. "Not much to tell, to be honest. Four hill giants, armed with clubs and rocks. We could fight them if we wanted, but to be honest I'm not keen on the idea. Giants are tough, and we're running low on resources."

Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

"Hill Giants. Evil, selfish bastards. I'll scout them, make a plan."

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18 +3 in dim light
Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34 +1 in hilly/rocky areas

So, do we talk or attack?

Humans. Tess crouches low and runs a hand along her bow. "I can scout them first."

What kind of giants are they? Any knowledge checks we can make?

All things created by mortals are only temporary, be it flesh or steel or stone. Only the gods live forever, and even then not most of them.

It was a lie of omission! I didn't actually state any falsehoods! :P

Bluff: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10

Tess jumps in before anybody else can say anything. It's time to show these humans how to lie like an elf. "Listen, Master Xoud is dying." As all mortal things do. "He is in great danger." From us. "Telling us where he is may be the only way to save him." Highly unlikely, but possible. "He may reward you greatly, perhaps even releasing you for showing us to him." If he kills us, it could happen.

Tess exhales slowly. This is going to be a tough sell. "What if we're too pressed for time to get it right now? We need that information now in order to succeed, but we can return as soon as possible in order to free you."

"Hmm. I believe sending you back directly may be beyond our trouble. We could return with the proper magic though. Would that be agreeable?"

Finals week. Please DMPC as necessary. I will return on Wednesday night, thoroughly stressed and exhausted and probably eating a whole pizza by myself.

Pew pew!

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 5) + 5 = 13

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 = 8

Confirm: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Additional Crit Damage: 4d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 6) + 10 = 24

Filled with magical augmentation, Tess fires more arrows at their adversaries!

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4) + 5 = 13

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 = 8

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 3) + 5 = 10

These things are tough. Tess thinks. She casts gravity bow on herself so she can get through their hardness.

Tess cries out and covers her ears for a moment at the blaring alarm, then drops to a knee and releases a barrage of arrows at the machine!

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Confirm: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Crit Damage: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17

Tess walks in to the room with her keen eyes, suspiciously gazing around, in particular at the strange insectoid automaton.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27 +3 in dim light

Also casting detect magic and scanning the room. Does the automaton appear to have any life in it?

"We'll come back for them. We have a larger goal right now." Tess agrees.

Tess shakes her head. "She has been tortured beyond saving. Perhaps it was for the best, but it is still a shame."

Tess barks out at the android.

Would definitely love to hear what she says :D

Tess gives a quick look of gratitude to Nyssa. Then she rolls and comes up, firint two more arrows at the light blue android.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 5) + 5 = 11

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4) + 5 = 13

Hectic week. Please DMPC as needed.

Tess gasps in pain as the blow lands, then steps back and pumps a pair of arrows towards her assailant.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 5) + 3 = 13

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1) + 3 = 8

Tess gives a short hiss. "If you refuse to see reason we will be forced to defend ourselves!" She shouts in the creature's tongue, then she casts gravity bow on herself.

Tess narrows her eyes. "They think we are servants of the black and here to take their brains!" She switches to Androffan.

Tess follows suit, lowering her weapon but staying silent, keeping a sharp eye out.

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Tess shakes her head and steps back, firing twice more into the swarm!

Attacks: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 281d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Damages: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

So what are the modified swarm rules? Tess is normally pretty useless against swarms. If I can make normal attacks she will simply do that.

Tess drops to a knee and slowly knocks an arrow, taking her time to release a single, powerful shot.

Attack: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Using focused shot and bullseye shot.
