Theodronis's page

Roll to see if I've managed to glean any further information about a giant arachnid we recently faced after we managed to defeat it. This roll occurs after leveling and with the assistance of two spells. The first is Ancestral Communion so that he might glean information from a past relative, which imparts a +6 insight bonus. The second spell is the page-bound epiphany spell. Theodronis, my character, will take 10 rounds to study the book used in the spell to gain a +10 circumstance bonus to the roll.

Knowledge (Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 15 + 6 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 6 + 10 = 50

Theodronis is completely against going and made reasonable points for why they should not leave.

Sorry for the late response. Theodronis would speak up that the unrepenting bandit should be put to death as their charter demands.

"We have been given orders to kill any bandits that wish not to repent. If we keep him alive, this man could very well become more of a hassle and danger to our new comrades then a benefit."

Theodronis will use the downtime to do what he can to help Svetlana. If she has no use for him, he will start to explore the immediate vicinity around the old fort looking for anything of use.

Perception 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Survival 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

From up above, Theodronis would call down.

"I have a few points I would like to add in."

Then, after taking a moment to glance over the area surrounding the fort, he would continue on.

"While some of you may be comfortable enough in the embrace of darkness, I have to remind you that some of us lack the capability to see through it without some kind of light source."

"I believe we should wait for our comrades to return. It will allow us to not only strike in force, but I doubt our new friend would appreciate us leaving his wife here while we ride out to face bandits who very well might not even be where we are heading."

I'm still around as well and glad to see things moving again.

Walking in shortly after Baelin, Theodronis would take some time to close and secure the small fort's gate before making his way up the wall to keep an eye out for anymore trouble.

Indeed, real life comes before the fantasy world and I enjoyed the picture.

Question about the fantasy world though, how far did the horse make it past Theodronis? It might be time for him to try some more daring deeds.

Seeing his target slipping further and further from his grasp, Theodronis would fail to see the new rider coming out of the fort.

Saying a quick prayer to Erastil, Theodronis would set his sights on the fleeing man's horse while a sense of pain started to form in his chest at the thought of what he was doing.

Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 4

He is aiming at the horse Baelin is chasing after so please adjust his attack roll as necessary for range increments.

it is trained only for the purpose of teaching.

Untrained

If you have no ranks in Handle Animal, you can use a Charisma check to handle and push domestic animals, but you can’t teach, rear, or train animals. A druid or ranger with no ranks in Handle Animal can use a Charisma check to handle and push her animal companion, but she can’t teach, rear, or train other nondomestic animals.

Charisma check can be made to just handle as a move action

Thanks for the link

Wow, that would have been extremely nice to know way back when, but we made the best of it with only taking a quick glance.

Thanks for showing my error.

Black fang,can you post Supernatural Spell monster again so I can copy and paste it into spoiler in my sheet. Thanks.

Here is the post he originally made with our Horrifically Overpowered feats.

Edit: Last I knew, Handle Animal is a trained only skill too. Thusly there was an entire scenario in Pathfinder Society where my dwarven cleric pulled around a dog sled that his elven alchemist friend was on.

Actually, looking at it, it should probably be -3.

I should have a +1 from BAB, nothing from Weapon Finesse, and then a -4 from not having both hands free since I can not drop my sword during the Attack of Opportunity, nor would I envision him just dropping the sword.

And I was so looking forward to Theodronis being dragged across the plains by a horse...

Watching the bandit escape his grasp, Theodronis would quickly survey the scene for options. Seeing the fallen bandit close by, he would make his way quickly towards him and pick up his fallen enemy's bow while placing his sword down next to him.

Move action to move. Move action to pick up the bow. Free action to drop the sword next to him.

With a last stitch effort, Theodronis would attempt to grab hold of the fleeing bandit.

Grapple attempt 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (14) - 2 = 12

Grapple check away~

I had assumed that Theodronis charged whichever bandit was still closest to the fort still. In turn, that would have meant that Korren shot the other one, thusly leaving the living one standing next to Theodronis. So unless if the bandit had taken an action to withdraw, he would have provoked when trying to move away.

Yet, it seems my line of thinking did not match up with yours.

The other bandit made it more than sixty feet away from Theodronis, correct?

Black Fang, does he provoke from me again on his way out? How far away from Theodronis is the one Korren just shot?

Have a possible course of action, just have to find out if its viable.

Annik: No worries. Is there anything you'd like to try and learn about your two traveling companions?

Theodronis: They're not failures, they're learning experiences. :D

For him they are learning experiences. For me they are the ill fortune of the dice gods shining down upon me.

My dice hate me...

And poor Theodronis, his inexperience in real combat is showing as everything he attempts to do continues to fail.

With a grim look, Theodronis would use his trip's unused momentum to come about into a runner's starting stance before springing into action.

"Prevent them from escaping," he would yell to his companions as he pushed forward into a reckless charge after the nearest bandit and his horse.

Knowing he would not get another chance, Theodronis would lash out with his Aldori Dueling Sword at not only the rider, but the horse as well.

Please, oh please, virtual dice give me this attack.

Full-round action charge. Swift action declare Widen Attack.

Attack on Bandit and his horse 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Seems his luck in this fight is continuing. Time for a charge...

I'll work out the attack of opportunity first with you if you don't mind.

Theodronis would notice the jittery horse of his enemy turn to start to flee. Not thinking of his safety, but the consequences should they let even one of the bandits escape, Theodronis would lash out at the horse's legs with one of his own in the hopes of stopping the beast in its tracks.

Please virtual dice do me a solid in this attack.

Trip attack - 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Sounds like fun, I'll provoke and everything. No Improved Trip.

Will you be around for just a moment? I have an interesting alternative, but will need your help in resolving it.

Kind of planning to try and trip a horse which will provoke.

Before I act I have a few questions for you Black Fang. Standing where I am, would they have provoked moving past me?

If so, were they close enough as they exited for me to use my Widen Attack to attempt to strike both of them as they flee?

Finally, are they close enough still that I might run out the door and attempt another attack? A charge perhaps? Perhaps my last Widen Attack?

There is a reason why this thread is the one I refresh the most.

Dang it, you got my hopes up for nothing Helgash...

He was successfuly smitten - I say that is a hit :D

Oh I thought he meant that Happs had fallen head over heels for Helgash...

Yeah sorry Theo, didn't want Happs to freely start rappid shooting are ranged support, or chase down Svetlana. He can drop a party member a round if he hits with both attacks so I felt it prudent to engage him. Didn't want to leave you hanging back there. Forgive me :)

I understand the reasoning, but Theodronis will have a word after its all over. We didn't leave Helgash up there by himself.

At this rate, I might need to invest in Deflect Arrow too...

Oh you can be sure Theodronis won't be overly happy with the fact that the other door was left while he's standing there trying to clear the path for it to be closed.

Which is why he will continue to work on clearing the path so that he can close it. Though he kind of wanted someone else there to help bar it shut since he's not exactly the strongest member of the party.

I think I reduced them to a panic by laying there bleeding - maybe they are afraid of blood? :D

Was expecting that 20+ points of damage to tear his head right off - resilient bastard...

Fear our bleeding powers!

I shall have truely driven fear into the hearts of our enemies by the end of this battle with my innate ability to make low rolls.

And I technically walked up into melee last round so this round he's just stepping in a bit further to an attempt to strike multiple foes.

Grimacing as the arrow grazed his shoulder, Theodronis would step up next to his enemy in a defensive stance before suddenly lashing out in a wide arc that seemed to strain every fiber in his body as he swung not only at the bandit next to him, but the next closest as well.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Damage Roll: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Free action to 5-foot up. Swift action to declare Widen Attack on two nearest bandits. Standard action to attack defensively.

I had moved over to the rear one earlier so I took that into consideration.

He shall fear Theodronis will all his heart. Perhaps after Theodronis gets his butt handed to him. But one day for sure...

Didn't think I had the actions left for it, but if you'll allow it I'll throw one out there.

Intimidate 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Edit: Aw yeah, Theodronis be intimidating...

That's what I had figured. He'll move in while keeping his side to the door.

With a great push, Theodronis would slam his door closed before sweeping his gaze across the seen. Noticing a horse in Baelin's way, he would move to close the distance between him and it.

While he moved he would pull his Aldori Sword free from its scabbard and fall into a fighting stance his master had taught him.

"Surrender thieves or taste my blade," he would shout in an attempt to give them the chance he said he would.

Move to close door. Move to move and pull sword. Swift to fall into Crane Style. Free to speak.

Do you want us to take our actions in order, or just post what we are doing and our actions will come into effect as our turn comes up?

I would suggest somewhere close to Svetlana so that he might cover her trail when she moves into the house to stay safe.

"Aye, let us know when the last one has passed through the gate," Theodronis would quietly answer back.

Do the doors swing in or out?

Once preparations were made, Theodronis would gather some food and take up his position behind a door so that he would not by chance happen to be seen through the door way.

Do the main doors swing in or out?

"I believe it might be best for Svetlana to be with you Connel. I would hate to see harm come to her because the bandits try taking shelter in one of the buildings. I also doubt they will be less enthusiastic about using Alchemist's Fire within the confines of these walls when we have them trapped inside."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As the others started to make their way towards their respective beds, Theodronis would go about his training and meditation. Despite the imminent danger, he would not falter in his dedication to mastering the art his master had passed on to him. And while he would prefer to spar with someone, he did not want to force them to expend energy they very well may need in the events that would soon transpire.

"Either way, I will still aim to subdue. We could use one or two of them to supply us with much needed information. Such as where their base of operations is."

"I have no issue with giving them a chance to repent, but if they refuse, I will see the law served." Theodronis would say in a flat tone.

"So if we our met with resistance we shall aim to subdue as opposed to directly dealing out justice to them where they stand? With my training I am capable of knocking them unconscious as opposed to slaying them outright."

I updated Theodronis a bit. His attack was off in terms of his Aldori Sword and he no longer has Reactionary since I gave him Threatening Defender so I adjusted his initiative as well.

Upon hearing Connel speak of laying an ambush for the bandits, Theodronis would start to settle down and start to mull over their options.

"It seems they are rather cocky and will likely stride right in if the doors are left open, in which case I would suggest we use these very walls to our advantage by locking our adverseries within them."

As he spoke, he would gesture towards the walls that towered above them.

Full of pride and seeing a chance to prove himself capable, Theodronis would continue on with a bit more bravado in his voice.

"I would be happy to man a door as I find myself more comfortable in the frey than outside of it."

Noticing the attention, Theodronis' cheeks would flare with color as he straightened and attempted to look a bit taller.

"I will certianly keep an eye out for your wife's ring good Oleg and I wish you all luck in your journey tomorrow."

Theodronis, being eager to prove himself and improve his image in front of their female warrior friend, would speak up with pride in his voice.

"Surely we can handle a few thugs while our friends make the journey and I say I might actually feel sorry for the bandits if they try to ambush them during their trip."

As he spoke, Theodronis would rub a bruise that was still healing from his last spar with the mysterious woman.

Theodronis, glad to be out and about moving once more after being confined to a room while the storm passed,would quickly lend a hand where ever he could.

"You have my help good sir Oleg, what would you like me to do?"

Having completed his morning exercises, Theodronis emerged as he started to hear the commotion.

Survival 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

"Well that's worrisome," Theodronis would state to himself as he started to realize what was going on.
