Thorn the Savvy's page

Thank you everyone. I apologize that I became scarce, real life hit me hard. It was a great game as always Aerondor.

Frustrated, Thorn abandons his offense and tries to hide behind stones and then read it. He might not look like he's overly learned,
but with the rogue, looks can be deceiving.

Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
Linguistics?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Not sure where to move that's safe.

Swearing profusely, Thorn takes his greased form and tries to escape Escape Artist: 1d20 + 15 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 10 = 38

You are correct! I do not! I still can't into flank, but I can make a single attack:

The rogue hustles up, jabbing fiercely with his enchanted shortsword ATK: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Double move

Thorn takes a single stab with his shortsowrd, unsure of how to fight such a monster ATK: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 ugh. He then tries to tumble away to a point of safety Acrobatics: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24

Incorporeal undead, Thorn's attacks won't be much help as he can neither sneak attack nor crit. Will post when I get to work

Thorn doesn't care. He'll go where he goes.

Unable to speak to her where it matters, Thorn melts back into the shadows.

Frustrated, Thorn moves to talk to Kragr, "Look, I'm not one for words really, but here's the deal. We can do this, but you're the lynchpin, the entire endeavor relies on you. You an either be lost to history, or you can hear your name in stories."Bluff: 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 3 = 15

Thorn, not one for conversation, is an impeccable judge of character and situations. He watches Jala's body language, expressions, and words. He shares his conclusions with the party away from others, Sense Motive: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Bloody hell, they got right by me! Double move, maintain stealth.

Silently, Thorn continues to slink forward.

Sorry, I'm here

Averting his eyes means he can't strike with the precision he's used to, so Thorn simply keeps his distance and tries to hide in the scrub Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

Thorn dashes behind the wall, looking to bide his time for the perfect opening. move and Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

Thorn runs with his enhanced speed towards the orc in black, and leads with the shortsword ATK: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 30 for DMG: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Confirm: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 27 for Extra if confirmed: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

I'm quite sure which square the white orc is in, but it makes the difference between a full attack and a move and attack. I'll post the full:

Thorn's face is devoid of emotion beyond the tensed muscles for violence as he steps towards the orc.

Left 1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 33 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 and
Right: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 25 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 and
Left 2: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 14 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Left Haste: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 19 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The rogue continues to stab furiously, not letting up for a moment:

Left 1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 30 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 and
Right: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 18 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 and
Left 2: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 12 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Haste: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 31 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Thorn stabs hard, "Gimme that back!" AoO: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24 for DMG: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

on the road until tonight. Thorn would use acrobatics to set up a flank (or attack from stealth) if botting is needed.

Thorn runs up to the closest wagon and hides, Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

"Thanks" the thief grumbles. "Yeah, I don't much like the thought of losing supplies. Let the foolhardy take the leaders."

Hey guys, starting from about 2100 EST tonight until Saturday noon, I'm in 1 post per day territory. I'll try to make that post in the afternoon so others have enough time. By Saturday night I'll be back to normal.

Thorn forgoes tactics in favor of quick blood. He stabs repeatedly, never taking the same attack angle twice. Purple until it drops, then red.

Left 1: 1d20 + 11 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 4 = 25 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6 and
Right: 1d20 + 11 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 4 = 29 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8 and
Left 2: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 4 = 27 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10 and
Haste: 1d20 + 11 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 4 = 26 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

Thorn's turn depends on the resolving of the already posted turns.

Thorn, emboldened by the magic filling him (though slightly freaked out by his skin that looks like an oak tree) runs in with his shortswords ready, trying to stab the orc atop the beast:

Heroism, Haste and Inspire: ATK: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 26 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + (5, 2, 3, 3) = 21 and 4 Bleed on hit.

Thorn is fine with guarding or wading into the thick of it. If someone could give him improved invisibility, he'd be ALL about charging in. It sounds like we're leaning towards attacking the body.

Thorn is quite skilled at secrets and spying. He'll go over to Mirtgog and hope that his own gruff and laconic nature matches the orc's. To get there, he'll sneak up behind and whisper into the orc's ear, "I can help. Let me show you."

Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

dang it. I'm more remote than I thought today. I trust people to not an attempt by Thorn.

"Your name is Grafffa, is it not? Look, this is all a little ridiculous. Your work is more my speed. Shall we?" Thorn then gives a bit of a go at demonstrating his skill, Acrobatics: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Thorn's trepidation becomes supernature fear as he's shaken by the devil. Still, he keeps his wits enough to try and stab it.

AoO: 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 4 - 2 = 35 THREAT

AoO Confirmation: 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 4 - 2 = 18 BOLLIX

AoO Confirmation Five* Reroll: 1d20 + 13 + 4 - 2 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 4 - 2 + 5 = 32 DMG: 2d6 + 6 + 4 + 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 + 4 + (4, 5, 1, 3) = 29

"BLASTED! Get me up there and I @#$@#% murder it!" Thorn shouts, not knowing if anyone has the skill to do so (or even if he's the best option.)

Only SLIGHTLY.... should be 28.

Thorn's delay would have ended:
Acrobatics to avoid the AoO: 34
Attack: 30
DMG: 268

Thorn isn't the heroic type, and while it was tempting, the retribution.... not so much. He'll wake for the flank, for which I forgot to add the +2 in my spoiler

Thorn spits out a curse, "Cayden's Codpiece!" He then falls to action, confident that his allies won't leave him exposed. Still, he knows he's not good in a straight up fight, so he delays.

Thorn knows to keep his mouth closed. Anything he says will backfire. Still the rogue knows what he IS good at. His face takes on a serious expression as he scans for hidden tricks, foes, or traps. Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

If your name is taken by someone ELSE, then I recommend adding an epithet, like this character

Just a heads up, I'll be AFK from 1500 EST today until about 2000 EST Monday. I'll be able to sneak in a post a day, but that's likely it.

I know we're paused, but still. :-)

Looks like Thorn can make it close enough for a flank. I'll post as if precision damage works, but not Bleed.

Thorn's face splits into a mirthless grin and moves around to flank on of the guardians. He drives his shortsword into the thing Stab: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 27 for DMG: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + (2, 1, 4, 5) = 20

Works for me!

"Not sure my blades work on furniture, but I'm game."

Thorn too will sneak, Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Thorn comes back. "We've got two cousins attending school, but they're all bells and whistles." After the stares, he speaks normally, reporting his findings.

Once the cleric gives the clear Thorn tersely mutters Rule 32 and then sneaks up the stairs to see what's going on:

Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
Perecption: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 (+4 if trap)

Thorn hangs back, not wanting to be first in. Delay until the end of the good guys. Will jump in then.

REF: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 Thorn snarls through the pain, "I need a jacket from the storm you gits!" He continues to work...

Thorn sticks to the plan, looking to win through determination.

Thorn's first attempt was a 43. If possible, he'll take a 10 for a 33 each time. If not I'm posting additional rolls in a spoiler for efficiency. Thorn will continue to work until everything is done. If he ever fails so badly that something untoward happens, he'll swear profusely and wait for someone to rescue him before doggedly returning to work.

My apologies. I'm back and ready to go. I was still getting my act together after Gen Con.

Thorn looks around, but stays silent for a moment, "I can quick trinket most anything, just give me 5 clicks and some grease."

Ignoring the looks his cant garners, he sets about. First he looks for any surprises, then goes about disabling the wards:
Perception: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23
DD: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (20) + 23 = 43
