Toanthel's page

This is my barbarian.

Yes, Toanthel will heal Aldonza for 18 next round.

Is Aldonza still bleeding after being healed, or is that from the bunyip?

Bleeding only stops automatically if you are healed to full.

Toanthel 77/78 hp
Shield 57/64 hp

Toanthel turns his attention to the bunyip in order to keep Aldonza in the fight.

FYI, just making sure you knew that the jousting property of a lance doesn't add to the 1d8 damage when mounted, it replaces it (with an added bonus). The advantage of jousting is that it lets you use the weapon one-handed rather than two when mounted at the cost of the die size.

The weapon is suited for mounted combat with a harness or similar means. When mounted, if you moved at least 10 feet on the action before your attack, add a circumstance bonus to damage for that attack equal to the number of damage dice for the weapon. In addition, while mounted, you can wield the weapon in one hand, changing the damage die to the listed value.

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Toanthel keeps his shield before him and swims to engage.

◆ Raise Shield (AC 25, hardness 8)

Toanthel takes up a position in front of the group. He draws his pick and raises his shield.

I am visiting family for the next 2 days. I might not have time to post until Wednesday.

I could use it again and not have it available during the next encounter. But as no one else is trained in Medicine, our goblin casters will have to decide whether they want to use some of their spells before the next encounter.

We also have 2 lesser elixirs of life and Toanthel has 2 lesser healing potions from his school items.

If we have time I can heal 18 hp every 10 minutes.

Filled with rage, Toanthel goes on the offensive.

Toanthel moves to the opposite side of the goblin, bashing the Sythi with his shield before laying a hand on Aldonza to bring her back from the brink of death.

You aren't underwater for this one - especially as you just repaired the wards.

OK. The difference is only 15 feet.

Toanthel swims over to see what the commotion is about.

◆◆◆ Swim x3

Toanthel sees that James is struggling with the wards and offers to take over.

Arcana: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Toanthel will heal himself 20 mins, then James 10 min, then help Mbali work on the shield.

Toanthel is fully healed and shield is fully repaired, James will still be down 6 hp.

Forgot about the critical specialization effect that I just gained. The crit should have dealt 6 additional damage.

Toanthel's shield absorbs some of the damage

Toanthel 45/78 hp
Shield 46/64 hp

Toanthel keeps his shield raised and swims back to the flank where he strikes yet again.

Toanthel had 7 temp hp from rage and will block the second attack so will be at 37/78 hp. His shield will be at 56/64 hp.

Remaining in the flank position, Toanthel touches himself to close some of the wounds before putting his shield back into place and then counter-attacking.

If that first attack is a crit then the damage is this instead:
Fatal damage: 2d10 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 1d10 ⇒ (4, 2) + 8 + 6 + 2 + (7) = 29 doubling the first 2d10 to make 35 total.

Keeping his shield in front of him, Toanthel swims into the flank and strikes at the creature.

Toanthel swims ahead. Attuning to ancient spirits he becomes enraged and strikes at the large turtle before preparing to intercept the counterattack with his shield.

How many fins do we have?

“And the Society came through with the supplies!” Meleeka interrupts, hauling several large bags across her shoulders as she rejoins the group on the beach. “There are enough potions and fins for each of you. I wish I could join you, but as my fire burns brighter on dry land, I think I’ll be better off seeing to the defense up here.”

Melipdra rests a hand on her agent’s shoulder in reassurance. “There is more to a battlefield than the front lines. Support our allies on the shore however you can, and remember to not lose sight of the bigger picture. Helping our allies means helping to preserve a still largely undocumented tradition. We must not let the Unbreaking Waves become another casualty of this senseless violence.”

You have about 40 minutes of recovery time whilst the ship is fully unloaded. Melipdra gives you two Lesser Elixirs of Life. Meleeka hands you four potions of water breathing each. She also unpacks and gives the group one pair of Swim Fins. You can also ask Rirzik questions about the monastery.

The boxed text seems to say one each. The GM text says one total.

Toanthel keeps his shield raised having nothing much else to do.

Placing people over things, Toanthel will attempt to rescue survivors, by swimming out to them.

Athletics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

He will then try to get some of the other merfolk to move.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

"Lead the way, we will be ready."

Toanthel tends to the wounded while the cargo is being unloaded.

Heal Aldonza once and Pre Fix twice with lay on hands then refocus once more.

Aldonza Delamorte (-2)
Toanthel (-3)
Pre Fix (-2)

Once it is safe, another figure disembarks from the ship. She is a young adult human dressed in traditional Mwangi garb.

"This is Mbali. She is being considered for the Magaambya and I am her guide and advisor.."

The girls notices the small ding in Toanthel's shield.

"You just got that shield and it is already damaged. Give that to me."

While Toanthel heals the others, she gets to work on fixing the shield.

Crafting DC 19: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Ten minutes later, the shield is as good as new.

Mbali is a hireling with expert proficiency in Crafting and Engineering Lore.

Toanthel sits down at the end of the pier to rest. As he does so he begins stacking small rocks, precariously balancing them in different arragements.

Refocusing. I can heal 18 hp every 10 minutes with lay on hands.

Toanthel attacks again, trying to make sure it won't try to hurt Aldonza again.

Aldonza, you can't take another action with the attack trait after using an action with the finisher trait on your turn.

It is, sort of. My shield boss is striking and the doubling rings I wear are copying the runes to the pick. That's why I rolled 2 dice for damage. Also, I did double the bonuses. Toanthel's strength is +4. Crit is (2d10+4)*2+1d10 (2+9+4)*2+4 = 34.

Toanthel keeps his shield up as he draws his weapon and tries to smash the skull of the creature in front of him.

Assisted Recovery

Reduce the DC of the flat check to 10 for a particularly appropriate type of help, such as dousing you in water to put out flames.

Automatically end the condition due to the type of help, such as healing that restores you to your maximum HP to end persistent bleed damage, or submerging yourself in a lake to end persistent fire damage.

Alter the number of actions required to help you if the means the helper uses are especially efficient or remarkably inefficient.

Essentially if your wounds are completely healed, you can't bleed any longer.

Toanthel keeps his shield held in front of him as he advances to give Aldonza some cover. He then reaches back and touches her arm to close the wound.

Level Bumps

Toanthel can provide a mentor boon useful to casters:

Pre Fix gets the full benefit of Toanthel's boon so he might want to make that one of his two choices.

Half the party is going to need a level bump. Are all the level 3s OK with playing high tier? If someone is really dead set against it, I am willing to step aside.

A dark-skinned half-elf wearing gleaming full plate approaches, rune-bearing shield in hand. A pick is stowed on one side and a wide blade on the other, several javelins are hung across his back. One thing odd about his armor is that it lacks a proper helm, a purple fabric hat with gold embroidery sits atop his head.

"I am Toanthel of Nantambu."

Was that a demoralize action by Miladistra? Coerce takes 1 minute (or 1 round if you have Quick Coercion) and can't be done during combat.

Toanthel rages and strikes twice at the creature.

Feel free to patch yourselves up. I'm adding the last section to keep us moving.
