Thandir Halftusk's page

Thank you for a wild ride and your flexibility as a GM! This was very enjoyable

Thandir, in turn, left soon after. For once his words had carried more strength than his arms. Something which had left him feeling both confused and, strangely, content. Just as Lord Kemnon had much to think about, so too did Thandir. Refusing the coach he went by foot, walking his own path in search of Korada. It was a calling he felt, deep inside of him. A path only partly physical, and one that he knew he had to walk alone.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Thandir's eyes went wide. Someone...was actually asking HIM about Korada? He hadn't ever come across that, and didn't really know how to respond. He watched as the man walked away. The half-orc stood in quiet contemplation for a moment, before he knelt down. And quietly prayed. With all of his heart and his soul, he prayed for the redemption of a lost a soul. For his lord to put it down the path towards salvation.

Thandir glared at the rising darkness. ”Korada!” his voice boomed, causing his axe to shimmer Scroll used for a fixed butchering axe ”Give me STRENGTH!” Bull’s Strength

Thandir has 0 ranks in any knowledge skill. All he has to go on is blind faith and stubborness

Breathing heavily Thandir planted the but of his axe into the ground. ”Do you live?! If so give me a sign so that you may seek redemption.”

Swift action fervor for divine favor

2d20 ⇒ (17, 15) = 32
Hit: 17 + 13 = 30
Good Aligned Damage: 2d12 + 16 ⇒ (10, 10) + 16 = 36

”KORADA SEES YOUR WICKEDNESS!” Surging out of the pit, Thandir swung his axe, leaving a glowing aftertrail behind it.

Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Thandir climbed as fast as he could given his armor, his faith driving him every onward.

I return from Hell (JRTC) only to find that the party is in a different kind of hell

Divine Favor, and good aligned damage

Hit: 2d20 ⇒ (18, 19) = 37 19 + 13 = 32
Damage: 2d12 + 16 ⇒ (1, 12) + 16 = 29

Hit: 2d20 ⇒ (14, 5) = 19 14 + 13 = 27
Damage: 2d12 + 16 ⇒ (9, 10) + 16 = 35

Hit: 2d20 ⇒ (18, 1) = 19 18 + 13 = 31
Damage: 2d12 + 16 ⇒ (5, 8) + 16 = 29

His axe softly glowing with holy energy, Thandir went to work with enthusiasm.

Annual Training for national guard has started. Found out that will have no internet from May7th to May22nd. Advance warning given.

Thandir has none of that trained. Can he use Aid by hitting the 10dc, or is this something he can do untrained?

"Seems to me that you have your priorities all wrong. Your loved one's soul is in peril, and a fiend has it snared. You put all of your resources into vengeance. And what does that do? Make you feel better? Much better to pour the time and resources into identifying which servant has the soul, summoning it, and giving it a righteous beating. And that is a task that I would be most willing to aid in. It is also a task, which I think it is fitting, for the founders to make recompense for assisting in. I think freeing the soul is much better than vengeance, don't you agree?"

Diplomacy...wish I was trained in this and that it was a class skill!: 1d20 ⇒ 16

And Thandir is proving to be much more eloquent than I thought. Apparently he is very sincere when trying to spread Korada's message of redemption

Knowledge Religion Untrained...warpriests only get 2 skill points per level: 1d20 ⇒ 10

”If I cannot dissuade you from Calistra’s path, might I at least ask you, why is your vengeance of greater importance than others? As the founders are not here, you have killed innocent people within the town whose only crime was being in your way. If your loss gives you the right to vengeance, then does their loss not give them the right to vengeance against you? That is the problem with vengeance. It only ends when an aggrieved side lacks the strength to see it out. I...do not think you to be evil. But I do not think you to be good either. You stand between the two, and might fall to either side. I would rather help you than fight you.”

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

”Vengeance is hollow. You attack a town seeking to hurt the founders when you know them gone. You had a spy, afterall.” Thandir said. ”No life is worth more than an other. In chasing the founders you do to others what was done to you. Worse, you do it knowing the pain you cause. The only difference is that you harm innocents without the power to strike you back. Which in turn leads to people like us seeking vengeance for them. Vengeance, you see, begits vengeance. It is a cycle that leaves nobody satisfied and only ends with an ocean of blood. What you need is Korada. He is the way towards peace. Towards twank...ility.” He obviously had trouble pronouncing the last word, having heard it but never quite understood what it meant. ”Anyways. I too killed. I did many horrible things. I hurt many people. Even tore off a few arms. But Korada accepted me. He can accept you to. It is never too late to turn away from the destructive path.”

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16

Thandir looked to his companions. Were they going to attack him? If not, he was prepared to try and earn his first convert. He was certain that eventually someone would be swayed by his words to turn to Korada.

"I'm not yelling. You're yelling." Thandir muttered.

No objections

Thandir yelled back, much louder ”KORADA LOVES YOU! THERE IS NO NEED TO SHOUT!”

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Thandir stopped, glaring as the dust hit him. He didn’t cough, so much as the glint of murder came into his eyes.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

”That was rude.” He gripped his axe tightly. Despite the damage done to it, it was still quite large. ”Only those of evil heart would attack a follower of Korada while hearing the good word. And I purge evil that refuses to repent. Are. You. Ready. TO HEAR OF SALVATION?!” Spittle flew from his risked mouth as he came to a crossroads of murder or prosletyzing love and redemption.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Thandir was overjoyed to find people interested in hearing about Korada. ”No! Ha! Let me tell you of the great and noble god Korada. It will change your life just as it did mine!”

If nobody stops him he will begin proselytizing.

”Korada is the champion of peace, kindness, and forgiveness. While he loves and respects his fellow empyreal lords for their tireless fight against wickedness, Korada believes good's final triumph will come from the redemption of evil creatures rather than their Destruction. Honest, joyful, and clever, the Open Hand of Harmony dispenses Wisdom with warmth and humility...”

Grinning with religious fervor, he will go on and on past any normal polite hints.

Thandir walked in.

"MAIDS! I BRING YOU THE LOVE OF KORADA! TURN AWAY FROM THE PATH OF EVIL AND WALK IN THE LIGHT!"

DIplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 13

”Why?” Thandir tried to whisper. ”Maybe they need to hear about the love of Korada!”

Wand of CLW: 10d8 + 10 ⇒ (7, 5, 1, 6, 5, 6, 3, 1, 6, 5) + 10 = 55

Thandir watched as the magic on his axe faded. He knew that he had tapped it out. He wouldn’t be seeing it’s like again. But he was more confident now. Confident in his own abilities. Standing there, dripping in lard, he smiled.

”Well done! Especially you, dwarf! Good fire!” He walked over to put a friendly pat on the dwarfs shoulder

Decided not to be cheesy.

Damage: 6d6 drops to 2d12
Reflex save increases from 5 to 7
Initiative increase from 1 to 2

Its powerful..but I needed Str19 (messed up point buy) and a trait to make it work. How about we drop it down to 1d12, but I get to fix his point buy and get a different trait to make up for the loss? Otherwise its a big hit

Hit, good aligned: 2d20 ⇒ (3, 20) = 23 33 Hit but only 14 confirm

Vital Strike: 6d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4) + 16 = 42

Thandir stalked in, a look of intense anger on his face. He lifted his monstrous axe above his head, and brought it down squarely atop the head of the golem. He didn’t know if it would kill it, or if it could even be killed, but he was going to find out!

More than usual! And he doesn’t have prestidigitation!

Acrobatics for a clumsy half-orc in plate armor: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (3) - 4 = -1

If Thandir can get away from there, he will *gladly* do so

CMB: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

In and out, in and out. Thandir kept his mouth firmly closed now, lest any lard get inside.

CMB: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

So recently free, Thandir went back in. And just as easily as he was sucked in, he burst out again. "STOP THAT!" he roared.

Round 2

CMB: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Thandir burst out of the lard golem with a mighty roar. Bits and pieces of lard flew through the air, befouling everything. The champion of Korada, the bringer of love, the bearer of mercy, lifted his axe as he challenged all that was evil to come and face his forgiveness. Which, he thought, would be a good name for his axe.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Swift action divine favor for +3 Hit and +3 damage

Highest: 2d20 ⇒ (1, 17) = 18
Hit: 17 + 13 = 30
Damage: 6d6 + 16 ⇒ (3, 6, 6, 1, 5, 1) + 16 = 38

”Let’s see if you can fight better than you cook!”

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Thandir turned around, took one look at the man, and *knew* that he was evil.

”You call that an axe? Korada! Let us show him what a real axe is!”

Divine favor if Thandir can also get a Spell off before combat

29 damage total?

Wand of CLW: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1, 5, 6, 4, 4) + 6 = 27

”Conjuration!” Thandir exclaimed. ”We should leave this room be, lest another ghost is summoned.”

Always go left, as evil expects you to go right. So says Thandir the wise

Lessor Restoration x2: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Both potions used, Con is back up to full!

Thandir stood there, unsteadily. He was lightheaded...he felt drained, but didn’t understand why. It wasn’t like he was wounded.

”Let’s check this first floor first. Destroy all the evil within and then go to the second floor. Look out, evil! Fullplate and packing steel!”

Pick Highest: 2d20 ⇒ (3, 16) = 19 Hit: 16 + 16 = 32
Damage: 6d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 6, 6, 4, 1, 3) + 19 = 42

Feeling lightheaded, Thandir raised his axe overhead, and with a roar brought it down squarely between the spirit’s eyes. A killing blow if there ever was one.

Thanks for the reminder! Pushes Str to 21. Swift Action bull’s Strength for Str25. Thus it becomes 3d6 (base) + 3d6 (vital strike) + 10 (str) + 6 (power attack) + 1 (weapon training) + 2 (divine favor) for 6d6+19 damage

Hit pick highest: 2d20 ⇒ (14, 6) = 20 Hit: 14 + 16 = 30

Damage: 6d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 1) + 19 = 35

”Embrace Korada’s love! SPIRIT, HAUNT NO MORE! FEEL THE LOVE!” The monstrous axe descended once more.

Sorry! Realize that at lvl6 I have BaB 4. This means power attack is +6 damage. Thus it becomes 3d6 (base) + 3d6 (vital strike) + 6 (str) + 6 (power attack) + 1 (weapon training) + 2 (divine favor) for 6d6+15. Total of 31 damage

3d6 base + 3d6 vital strike + 6 Str + 3 power attack + 2 divine favor +1 weapon training = 6d6+12...so I messed up by 2

Luckily he has one up from the scroll :D

Swift action fervor to cast divine favor, +2 hit and +2 damage

Pick highest: 2d20 ⇒ (19, 6) = 25 Hit: 19 + 13 = 32
Damage: 6d6 + 14 ⇒ (6, 1, 2, 4, 2, 1) + 14 = 30

Thandir moved forward, his axe in hand. It wasn't *his* axe, rather it had been made via a scroll. It hit home with full force, despite the spectral nature of the foe.

Guys we are at the finish line here, come on...

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

"Look out! That ghost over there is coming towards us!."

”It’s not that good. How do we kill ghosts? Are we here to kill ghosts?”

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

”What trickery is this?”

Thandir pulled out one of the scrolls, read it, and watched as it warped and transformed into a large two handed axe.

"To glory!"

Detect Magic Thandir searched for any sign of mystical evil that he could destroy.
