Thrall the Lucky's page

Hi and sorry for the absence. I was on holidays, and wanted to check in after I came back home. Then I got sent to a formation for promotion at job, and my studies got even busier, so it took me more than intended to come back. I didn't even have time for my RL game!

But with all of this in mind, and given I'm not the biggest poster ever, I think it would be wise to retire and leave an empty spot.

I don't know when, or even if I'll be able to come back, but I hope you'll live daring adventures and be able to forgive me for leaving like that.

Wish you all well.

Hi guys! Just to tell you I went on holidays with the idea of connecting from the phone, but found out there's totally no signal here. I managed to come to the major city today and rushed to warn you I'll be stuck in the real world until Sunday.

Man, with the temperature we're having down here, I certainly wish I was in Alaska.

+2 actually, but thanks anyway :)

Noticing the minotaurs, Thrall advances to press a bit on them and cut their maneuvers. Calling for divine aid, he blesses his allies and curse the event beasts.

Prayer.

Thrall slightly closes his eyes at the hearing of the traitor's name.

"We'll have to be careful - I'm sure Vhane won't be an easy target, note will he be likely to be on this own."

However, his body language is clear: he wants to go ahead.

Prayer for the Archon as well! :)

Will save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Thrall decidedly walks towards the remaining minotaur and lets his sword fall upon it.

Great Sword, Power Attack, Prayer: 1d20 + 16 - 0 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 16 - 0 + 2 = 36
Damage, Mythic Vital Strike, Power Attack, Prayer: 2d6 + 15 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3) + 15 + 9 + 2 = 35 x2=70

Suddenly it all turns black. Thrall's orcish blood is thin enough that his ability to see in darkness is weaker than other half breeds, ao he hesitates for a second, thinking about what to do.

"Someone turns the lights back on!" he shouts, and then decides it's time to help from the rearguard while one of his allies finds a way to fix the problem.

He casts Prayer

Will save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

All of a sudden, Thrall and his teammates are surrounded by minotaurs! These are dangerous beasts, strong and big. Thrall shrugs off the attempt at cursing him and quickly closes in to start evening the odds.

Swift action: Channeling Force

Mythic Vital Strike, Power Attack: 1d20 + 16 - 0 ⇒ (9) + 16 - 0 = 25
Damage, Channeling Force, Power Attack: 2d6 + 3d6 + 15 + 9 ⇒ (5, 3) + (4, 6, 3) + 15 + 9 = 45 x2=90

Channeling Force 2/3

Thumbs up.

If no one else wants that ghost touch plate...

Thrall nods to Grey, awaiting the opening of the door.

Greatsword #1, Power Attack: 1d20 + 16 - 0 ⇒ (17) + 16 - 0 = 33
Damage, PA: 2d6 + 15 + 9 ⇒ (6, 4) + 15 + 9 = 34

Greatsword #2, Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 0 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 0 = 14
Damage, PA: 2d6 + 15 + 9 ⇒ (2, 3) + 15 + 9 = 29

After finishing off the demon bedside him, Thrall moves away to help his friends forward.

Of course if that's not enough to deal with it he'll stay.

Thrall adjusts this position and, with a brutal downward slash, tried to eliminate the other demon, leaving the wounded one for later. He's confident he can take the full-health friend in one swing.

5-ft-step and Vital Strike

Mythic Vital Strike, Power Attack: 1d20 + 16 - 0 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 0 = 17
Damage, Power Attack: 2d6 + 12 + 9 ⇒ (5, 6) + 12 + 9 = 32 x2=64 though nat 1 to hit :(

Well I guess if Taedric changed his armour then I could have certainly changed mine.

Not sure about carrying this this amount of metal around, though, so probably what we're not using... should have to stay there?

Edit: Screw all this, I just checked and Thrall already has a +1 plate.

It's hard to say. Thrall would have taken the magic full plate, but idk if there's been time enough to wear it (it takes several minutes at least and surely some help), and I'm not sure it's something easy to carry around just like that.

Thrall rushes through the doorstep, dodging the barricades to reach a pair of demons, and launches a big thrust at one of them.

Thanks to Fleet Charge, as a swift, he moves his movement and makes an attack, ignores DR and adds +tier to hit.

Fleet Charge attack vs rightmost demon, Power Attack, Mythic Tier: 1d20 + 16 - 0 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 16 - 0 + 2 = 27
Damage, Power Attack: 2d6 + 12 + 9 ⇒ (2, 3) + 12 + 9 = 26

Thrall had a quick look at the spoils, finding nothing interesting for himself.

"Mmmhh... These are quite some valuable items, but might actually hinder us in our exploration, yeah?"

Thrall thinks carefully before speaking. "Um... If we go for a report, will we be able to sneak back in?"

Fine then.

Unless the +1 plate has some unholy symbols or something, of course.

"Sometimes these holy relics fit the size of the wearer. Why don't you try?"

After dealing with the loot shares, Thrall comments on his nose telling him to go...

1 West, 2 South, 3 East, 4 North
1d4 ⇒ 3

... East. "I sense much evil there."

Armor wearers, stake your claims!

Whatever armour set is more protective and no one else wants. Pious if Taedric doesn't want it, or the plate +1 if he does.

Int: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

Thank looks at the banner and a at Sapphiria alternately.

"Uh... I don't get what you mean..."

"Aha!"

Glad that what he had glimpsed turned out being real, Thrall steps forward with the intention to split the strange creature with his sword. However, he reacts too slow and ends up entangled in the sticky tongue of the monster.

Desperate and roaring, Thrall tries to break out of the hold.

CMB: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

At the sight of Grey's preoccupation, Thrall sniffs the air around and looks everywhere in search of a potential danger.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

He's not as discreet, though...

"Hey! That damned thing just moved!" he says, pointing at the altar.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Kn History: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14

Kn Engineering: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2

"Pointless room. Let's get going."

Since in the other room the situation seems more of less under control, Thrall steps forward and teams up with Grey to finish the remaining knight.

Mythic Vital Strike, Power Attack, Divine Favor, Flank: 1d20 + 16 - 0 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 16 - 0 + 3 + 2 = 40
Damage, VS, PA, DF: 4d6 + 30 + 18 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 2) + 30 + 18 + 6 = 66

Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 16 - 0 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 16 - 0 + 3 + 2 = 35
Crit Damage, Mythic Power Attack: 4d6 + 30 + 36 + 6 ⇒ (5, 4, 6, 1) + 30 + 36 + 6 = 88

Here, the priest just cast Disintegration xD

Not everyone! ;)

From his current position, Thrall turns to one flank and swings his sword in a circular movement, capitalising from the centrifugal force.

Vital Strike vs Knight #3, Power Attack, Divine Favor: 1d20 + 16 - 0 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 16 - 0 + 3 = 36
Damage, Power Attack, Divine Favor: 4d6 + 30 + 18 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 3) + 30 + 18 + 6 = 65

He stays in place this time to help Grey get an advantage versus the other Knight (Knight #1)

For one second, Thrall feels the need to go to the statue and pray. Fortunately, he shakes the feeling off just in time to dodge some knights swinging swords at him - or almost.

-13 hp

The half-orc shoes a quick prayer and swings hard at one of the knights.

Bonus Action: Divine Favor

Great Sword Vital Strike vs Knight #2, Power Attack, Divine Favor: 1d20 + 16 - 0 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 16 - 0 + 3 = 26
Vital Strike Damage, Power Attack, Divine Favor: 4d6 + 30 + 18 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6, 1, 3) + 30 + 18 + 6 = 66

If target's dead, Thrall will take his place to give Grey flanking bonus

Will save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Thrall smiles, happy to leave subterfuge behind.

"Crusade on!"

Thrall looks at the woman with suspicion. "This has to be a trap..."

"Sure!" he goes, walking towards her slowly.

Thrall shrugs. "As you wish. I can go on if you want."

"A bit, but more on my personal honour."

Thrall throws a quick glance all over the room, checking for possible exits and maybe anything of interest.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Fort save, Bless: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 1 = 29

With all his hair floating backwards due to the demon's mighty cry, Thrall stands his ground, even against the creature's claws and spores.

You'll have to do better than that!"

He knows it's still tough to land a blow on it, but they need to start capitalising from their numeric advantage. There's way more attacks incoming than images can defend it.

Will five-foot-step and full-attack instead of using Vital Strike to try to fade as many images as possible.

Cold Iron Greatsword, Prayer*, Bless, Power Attack: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 - 0 ⇒ (10) + 16 + 2 + 1 - 0 = 29
Damage, Prayer*: 2d6 + 15 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (4, 6) + 15 + 2 + 9 = 36

Iterative Cold Iron Greatsword, Prayer*, Bless, Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 29
Damage, Prayer*: 2d6 + 15 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (5, 6) + 15 + 2 + 9 = 37

*Luck bonuses increased because of Fate's Favored.

Looking back it seems I somehow included Good Hope's bonus into Thrall's actions. Sorry, that means we'll have to treat his tests as 2 points less from last round and his damage as well.

Right! Thank you!

Thrall capitalises from the demon being a little distracted to call for divine aid and try to slip away from its grasp! But before, he can't resist throwing a fit to the creature's nuts - even if it probably doesn't have.

Standard: Vital Strike Cestus
Swift (Immediate): Liberating Command (allows an attempt as part of the casting)
Move: Stand up (possible AoO?)

Vital Strike Cestus Attack, Prone, Good Hope, Prayer*, Power Attack: 1d20 + 13 - 4 + 2 + 2 - 0 ⇒ (17) + 13 - 4 + 2 + 2 - 0 = 30
Damagex2, Good Hopex2, Prayer*x2, Power Attackx2: 2d4 + 16 + 4 + 4 + 12 ⇒ (2, 2) + 16 + 4 + 4 + 12 = 40

Escape Artist, Liberating Command, Good Hope, Prayer*: 1d20 - 4 + 18 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) - 4 + 18 + 2 + 2 = 35

Rolling away from the beast's grasp, he stands up and looks around to check what's of his comrades.

"What's he casting?!"

*Note that Prayer gives a Luck bonus and Thrall has the Fate's Favored trait.

Is Thrall still pinned? Can the Denon do whatever magic it's doing and maintain the grapple? Can it maintain the grapple without a roll? Sorry, all of these are important points to consider Thrall's action this turn.

It's always worth a reminder. Plus, the spell is subject to SR.

Don't forget the second part of the Prayer spell!

Thrall tries to break out.

CMB: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

It seems a bit hard to believe that everyone just stood by the door of the room while talking to their newly found old friend, but well, I guess I'll have to be more careful next time xD

Will save, Bless: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 = 15

Darn, that was close. Is Thrall grappled or pinned, or did the demon release him to screech?

Thrall avances to the center of the room to have a better vision of all its angles. He can also check the prisoner better from here and, if she seems to react - that is, if she sends alive - he will initiate contact.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Yup

Thrall kicks the door to the South and checks if there are monsters around.

Survival +16 makes for autosuccess, I guess.

Thrall examines the ground. "There are a lot of tracks, but they seem old. More than a week or two."
