Thundering Bull's page

"Yeah Thcrapth! That's what I said! Thcrapth. Thcrapth?" Thundering Bull says.
________
Out of curiosity, what would have happened with our chronicle sheet if we didn't go in further than ordered?

"Thcrapth the Glorious! May his spiny claws bring honor undying to his clan," Thundering Bull explains, pointing to Scraps. "He was in the crate too, yes?"

"Many metal men. And a shiny, spinning map. Also, no air, but Thcrapth saved us. I axed a lot of things," Thundering Bull adds. He is visibly pleased as he receives praise again, bowing his head with a fist over his heart.

Sweat from the dual exertion of battling for control of his mind and his life falls to the ground as Thundering Bull takes the Scarecrow's blow to his sturdy armor. Offering no quarter, the big man fluidly keeps step with the thing, his partner in a dance to the death.

"AXE!" he screams, the chords in his throat straining with intensity. Pinning it against the wall with a thick arm, he sinks his weapon deep into its chest with the other.
________
+1 Adamantine vs Purple: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 241d8 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 Phew!
Step Up, swing! The rest is just fluff.

"RRAAAAHHHHH, NO FEAR!" Thundering Bull shouts at the Scarecrow as he powers through the fear and takes a haphazard swing.
________
Will, DC 14: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 :D
+1 Adamantine vs Purple: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 141d8 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19 -_-

"You leave her alone!" Thundering Bull roars at the Scarecrow. Stomping across the ?corpse? of the toy soldier, he brings his axe down again.

"FIGHT ME!" he demands, forcefully churning the weapon free from its target.
________
+1 Adamantine vs Purple: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 261d8 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

With Perrine persevering to support him, it would bring even greater shame to Thundering Bull if he simply gave up. Giving it another go, he just aims for center mass, to gratifying results.

A moment after his axe collides with metal, he bellows "AXE!" Relief flickers across his face.
________
+1 Adamantine Battleaxe (PA, Flank, Aid) vs Green: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 301d8 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 FINALLY! :D

Not even the Goddess of Luck's own avatar of war can help Thundering Bull land a blow. Clearly overthinking it, the big man seethes as he continues slicing the air with devastating blows. His confidence is visibly suffering at this point.

"Thcrapth, look away! I bring only shame!"
________
+1 Adamantine Battleaxe (PA, Flank, Aid) vs Green: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 151d8 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 Oh! Three of a kind! What a treat!

Scraps, the hero we need, but not the one we deserve!

Thundeirng Bull lumbers around to the other side of the unsinged robot and tries to put his axe through it again.

"AXE!" he roars. Again he manages to catch naught but air. He scowls at the waste of metal in his hand. "...is broken." he mumbles, embarrassed.
________
+1 Adamantine Battleaxe (PA) vs Green: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 111d8 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 ...again?!
Reroll! (2 Stars): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 101d8 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 (ノಥ,_｣ಥ)ノ彡┻━┻
Well this is lame. With (I think) the only adamantine weapon in the group, I'm happy to play hot potato with it! Swing as a standard, move to pass it to the next person. Lather, rinse, repeat! TB will use his Step Up feat to keep up with the robot now.

Thundering Bull steps up to the Robot, sandwiching it between himself and Igor, then takes a swing.

"AXE!" he shouts, but he compensates for a sidestep that never occurs. He frowns at the weapon in his hand.
________
+1 Adamantine Battleaxe (PA, Flank) vs Green: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 131d8 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

While the party risks life and limb, TB and Scraps are off playing a dangerous game of "Hold your Breath!" where TB tries to keeps his lungs in his chest while Scraps toggles the atmosphere on and off! The most fun you could ever have before an agonizing and perfectly foreseeable death! :D

Only about 30% aware of what exactly he did, Thundering Bull is pleased with all the praise nonetheless. He beats his chest with a mighty fist three times and prepares to head onward.

"Axe can make exit, but..." Thundering Bull starts, before getting distracted by the map. I can make it fit!

With a final twist of his hand, he points to the map. "There, now we go new way to old place out!"
________
Survival, DC 15: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Left unattended, Thundering Bull starts fiddling with the holographic interface.

"Everyone fights, everyone gets a share," Thundering Bull responds.
________
Then I say we keep exploring! :D

I'm curious: GM, would you mind posting what the unusual perception check here, when it no longer matters?

Thundering Bull shakes his head. "Magic fix all! If magic can't fix, then maybe not broken?" he says to Goran.

He pokes his head into the room, sneezes as some of the new dust runs up his nose, and retracts his head.
________
Perception (Aid): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Thundering Bull frowns at the contraption. "Is a trick. You stab someone, but say is to heal them," he decides, shaking his head. "Magic works for me fine."

Works for me! The lever seems to have done a good thing, so I'm not certain why we'd want to leave already.

"I know Thcrapth brave. See it in all his eyes," Thundering Bull asserts, nodding his head sagely. "In Cinderlands, we would bring much glory to Sklar-Quah together. We could make many kills. Does Thcrapth want to make glory from many kills in Cinderlands for Sklar-Quah?" he asks Igor. "I do."
________
What's the little guy's monthly rate? Is there a conversion rate for the honor of becoming TB's Harbinger of Doom and the resultant sea of Orc blood? Are there payment plan options?

Thundering Bull pulls out a pair of pouches and shakes them gently. "My rocks have air. Chew to breathe!" he explains. "Only two though."
________
TB's got two pouches of Air Crystals which is basically an Air Bubble for a minute each. He'll share his extra pouch, but we'll have to be very efficient with our time in this place. GM, to maximize our time if there is minimal air, could we hold our breath for almost max duration, then chew on the crystals?

"Ok, how do I go up?" Thundering Bull asks.
________
Everyone crowd in and push all the buttons? ;)

Thundering Bull lumbers over to the northern door. "Room in room? Why door here, but not there like other doors?" he wonders out loud, pointing at the doors flush with the walls, like every door ought to be, and then the door here, attached to some weird round walls.

He tries the door.
________
He'll try axeing the door down too unless someone objects.

"...Does that mean running or standing?" Thundering Bull asks, entirely unsure of the what he should be doing. Just in case, he steps closer to the door, knowing his armor makes him unstoppable on the battlefield, but not the fastest.
________
Igor is g@% d&~n hysterical XD

Seeing the look in Avi's eye, Thundering Bull picks up Perrine and a pair of gauntlets. Moving to a corner of the room, he stands between the crystal and the Gnome. "No disrespect, too risky," he explains pointing at the Ganzi.
________
If only TB had an aura of firy death like those skeletons! He'd be so about that since his whole deal is to be all up in everyone's space!

Thundering Bull leaves the crystal staring to his allies, instead settling for skull crushing. He stomps each of the skulls of the skeletons they fought until they're dust beneath his greaves.

Man! They all just ran away! Don't they know how heavy full-plate is?!

"FLEE! THEY FLEE!" Thundering Bull roars, laughing mightily at how scary he thinks they think he must be. "I protect, Goran moves away," he offers, winding up his axe in anticipation.
________
+1 Adamantine Battleaxe (Readied) vs Foe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 251d8 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
He can't get to anything with a single move and we've seen them burn for proximity I think. No pressure Goran, but if you want to dip out, TB is ready to cover your tactical retreat! :)

Octarine and pi.

Somehow, I'm not surprised :P

Blue 7

"RRRAAAAAH! NOBODY HURT IGOR!" Thundering Bull bellows. Living up to his namesake, he thunders around his allies and shoves one of the skeletons back as hard as he can.
________
Bullrush (Luck!) vs Red: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Bullrush (Luck!) vs Red: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25 <--- I choose this one!
BREAKER RUSH!: 7 = 7 If the Bull Rush is successful the skeleton takes 7pts of bludgeoning damage.
Swift action armored vigor for 2 temp hp, move 20ft, standard to Bull Rush. If he had movement left he could Overrun too, but, here we are. *le sigh*

I didn't get an update notification for this thread...

"We break toys, so now you leave?" Thundering Bull suggests, pointing wherever he thinks the exit is. "More toys somewhere?"

GM Ultra Plus wrote:

Do you guys want to, I don't know, ask them about themselves?

What for? They're just NPCs. Kill them, or rescue them, and let's move on. Chop, chop! Murder Hobo Society represent! ;)

TB feels very attacked right now ;)

"I know Way of Blood!" Thundering Bull claims, pointing at his axe again. "Way of Blood for amulet?"

Sorry for the ambiguity! If she is still hostile, per the diplomacy rules, she gets the axe. We seem to be at an uncomfortable, but not quite hostile, impasse though, so I think she gets to live ;)

"BBBRAAAAAAHHHHHHGGGG!" Thundering Bull bellows into the small room, hoping to get all eyes on him.

"Lady Two-Swords Red-Dress say you not foes. We are friends, but not if you are foes!" he warns. "Drop little knife or meet big AXE!" He points to his axe, making it all too clear what their fates will be if they don't obey.
________
If she doesn't become overtly friendly:
+1 Adamantine Battle Axe (PA) vs Butter Knife Wielder: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d8 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
If she doesn't make it obvious she isn't about to try and stab TB, he's going to 5ft step and take a swing.

Thundering Bull points to himself and nods at Perrine. "Will go first," he agrees. Looking over his shoulder to make sure everyone is in their preferred position, he opens it up. "BADDIES, COME MEET AXE!"
________
Perrine, I'm assuming autocorrect butchered your sentence and you meant to say "TB, you're up..."

Thudnering Bull points and laughs at Goran's pun. "Funny man. Good at parties?"

He trudges over to Igor. "Where put axe to make blood on outside?" he asks, pointing at the mechanical men.
________
Perception (Aid) vs Igor: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
If Igor is able to identify (or at least convince TB of the fact;) ) a weak point for the mechs, TB'll cut each one of them there, just in case!

Thundering Bull looks down at his body, curiously poking his torso. "Feeling... happy. So happy. Like only good things can happen," he confesses.

He plods on in the direction of the footprints.
________
Will, DC 27: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 20 or bust!

Thundering Bull nods in approval as Igor relentlessly brutalizes the dart-shooting mechanism. When the ?man? pauses, he rests a heavy hand on ?his? shoulder. "Igor feel Beast on insides too?"
________
If the morningstar proves ineffectual, he will hand off his adamantine battleaxe to Igor. If after all of that, it still isn't busted, TB will finish the job himself, but is still super proud of Igor ;) Spoilered rolls, just in case. If we've smashed it up, let's find the next thing to smash!

Sorry I posted that I’d move behind her last round, but I forgot to ask someone to please move me on the map since I’m a phone poster and I struggle with maps.

I can't promise I'll be 100% effective, but I'll try to move you when you post Perrine!

EDIT: GM, if Igor's thrashing of the dart shooter isn't enough, do we need to roll an attack roll or just damage?

Thundering Bull trudges to the other side of Kiyoko, nodding apologetically to Goran as he steps between him and the soldier.

"AXE!" he shouts at the mech, aiming to sink it into the thing's head this time.
________
+1 Adamantine Battleaxe (PA, Flank, Bless) vs Mech: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 321d8 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Confirm?: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 232d8 + 28 ⇒ (6, 5) + 28 = 39 59 if that confirms... is it dead? ;)

Thanks for the reminder Perrinne! This is highly amusing to me: I have a luck cleric that had to constantly remind her party's frontliner to use her Bit of Luck ability for several fights before they got the hang of it! XD

"PLEASE MOVE!" he says to Avi, stomping past him. "AXE!" he says as he lodges it cleanly into the latest soldier.
________
+1 Adamantine Battleaxe (PA, Bless, Luck!) vs Mech: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 251d8 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
+1 Adamantine Battleaxe (PA, Bless, Luck!) vs Mech: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 28<-This is his attack roll!

WHOA, those darts are serious!

Thundering Bull eyes the ball of fire warily and circles around again to pin the tin soldier between himself and Goran.

Swinging his axe, he aims again for the thing's shoulder. "AXE!"
________
+1 Adamantine Battleaxe (PA, Flank, Bless) vs Mech: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 241d8 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
For the record, TB has Step Up. He'd normally use it, but not if it means taking a Flaming Sphere!

Stomping his feet to charge, Thundering Bull has to change course when his allies are simply too quick for him! Lumbering around to pin the machine between himself and Goran, he wedges his axe into one of its shoulders!

"AXE!" he bellows.
________
+1 Adamantine Battleaxe (PA, Flank, Bless) vs Mech: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 311d8 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
Move, Standard to chop, swift for Armored Vigor (2 temp HP).

"We have stuff from dead guy," Thundering Bull states. "We go now? Find other..." He pauses to hold his fingers up at eye level. Counting out six, he counts off one of them and counts off the remaining fingers. "Five people."

"Little one have good eyes. Stand in front with me and Thcrapth?" he asks Perrine.
________
Rocking a +1 Adamantine Battleaxe, so no claims here :)

With the wand charges previously used and the channel, we should all be in tip-top shape!

Thundering Bull nods his head with understanding and takes another look at Scraps. Tiny but mighty.

"I walk with Thrcrapth," he says, accepting Igor's offer of having the little guy walk a few steps in front of him. He rests a heavy hand on Goran as he passes him. "Thank you."

Waiting a few moments for everyone to consider the corpse, TB starts searching the body.
________
Survival, DC 17: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 So close!
Once the corpse has been searched, TB is ready to march on with his little buddy from Hell's Build-a-Bear :)

"Thank you, Igor," Thundering Bull says, patting the ugly man on the head gently. "Thcrapth ok?"

When Kiyoko starts moving left, he stomps after her.
________
6 charges marked off and healing accounted for!

Thundering Bull groans as the wicker walls give him a decent bashing. "We do bad already," he says, shaking his pink head. "Look silly."

He pulls out a tiny stick. "Happy stick. Please use," he instructs, handing a wand of Cure Light Wounds to the nearest person.

Once the next direction is chosen, he lumbers onward.
________
Reflex, DC 20: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Anyone and everyone can heal up with his wand! Someone who can, please use it on TB :) Remember that lethal and non-lethal heal the same amount!

Thundering Bull waits for the "all clear" before leading the way into the next area. While he waits, he tries cutting some of the metal with his battleaxe.

"Why red sticky?" he asks, eventually smearing one of the symbols with a hand. "Is blood? Paint?" He smells his gauntleted hand before licking it.
________
Perception?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Avi, if you'd like TB to open the door, he's willing to do that! He is testing adamantine vs the metal of the walls to see if it cuts.
