Tobias Taviston's page

Really? I can hear worse by turning on FOX news and listen to them compare a black man (our president) to terrorists and genocidal dictators. *shrug* guess that's it for me too folks. I hope the game goes well.

Turning back to Bastion. "The whole damn room is a trap. Look there!" He says pointing to the pillars. "Alchemical crystals, that's electricity my friends. And there!" He follows pointing to the grates. "That's for the water that floods this room. Put it all together, doors slam shut, room floods, electricity hits the water, we all either fry or drown."

"You're not too far off the mark Lilia, take great caution in this room. Stay off this platform, and away from the northern door. There is a VERY complex trap here, I'm not sure even attempting to disable it is wise, if I made a mistake we'd all surely die."

Tobias will look over the Sarcophagus.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Disable ALL THE DOORS: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Disable ALL THE DOORS: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

I guess he'll throw them both on the same door, the left.

Disable: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

"Alright then let's get them opened up."

Tobias will open both doors.

Disable: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Disable: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Inspiration: 1d6 ⇒ 4

23 Religion

"It's a depiction of Citrinic afterlife beliefs, the dead are carried on boats, while the orbs of light guide them down the river to the tower."

Vial of Liquid Ice (Against Touch on it's backside space so as to not splash onto the party): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (18) - 2 = 16

Damage(Cold): 1d6 ⇒ 6

Tobias pulls out a small bright glowing blue vial before tossing it high over the party and down onto the Sandling, covering it in ice.

Do you mean slashing and piercing? A standard sandling has dr5 bludgeoning.

Anyways I'm going to go ahead with what you said and retcon it if needed.

"Im afraid your swords aren't going to be much good here friends."

"This is a sandling, weak to water and hammers but not much else."

"I suggest Lilia and I pelt it with ice and then we can set it on fire afterwards to produce water and steam. It will take some time though, you'll have to keep us safe from it in the meantime though."

Are we all too terrified to fight? I haven't posted since they'll very likely be dead by the time I can go. But oh well, here goes.

If the spiders are still alive by Tobias turn hell probably try to shoot one with his crossbow provided they don't somehow end up in melee with him.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Subtract 4 if I end up firing into melee. If the shot would be through melee and cover I'll choose the other Solifugid.

Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Solifugids, don't let them team up on you. They like to do that, they're not poisonous but those pincers aren't for show. If you're going to go toe to toe with one kill it fast."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Knowledge: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (15) + 9 + (5) = 29

Unless they're dungeoneering in which case I can't identify them.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tobias has to fight his urge to stare at the mirror after Lilia's words before he follows the party.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tobias will shadow Gil.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Yeah I did check the post above again. Will fix inventory when I get home.

Tobias holds up the potions to the torch to better examine them.

Alchemy: 1d20 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 10 + (2) = 22

Before turning his attention to the two books, giving them a quick glance over to see what they might be about.

"%#&*%/#$!"

Tobias will reach into to his pack and pull out a potion of cure light wounds and drink it before going back to open the now untrapped chest.

These dolls are going to get me killed at this rate. Stay focused. If you die before you make it out of here they're pointless.

Disable: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The dice Gods are toying with me.

To its breathes deeply, thankful that his jammed probe didn't result with a long piece of metal in his wrist.

"Calm down and focus damn it. Do it right."

Disable Device: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Lol apparently Tobias is just too preoccupied with the dolls.

-Posted with Wayfinder

So is it jammed then, or can I give it another go?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tobias indeed took his pack with him. It also probably isn't wise to go digging around in there, quite a bit more than dolls are inside it.

Noticing the trap Tobias sets to work on it.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 7 + (3) = 16

-Posted with Wayfinder

Perception : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Tobias will make his way back to the chest in the other room, inspect it, and open it.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yeah I thought it was only - 5, my bad. Not that it mattered hah, Tobias is a bad liar. FOR NOW

Tobias shakes his head at Lilia. "No I think not, you're not incorrect but I'd rather wait till we leave this place and do what research and work I can, and possibly never be able to figure these things out. Than to know for certain and not be able to prove it, that would be a fast track to madness."

-Posted with Wayfinder

I Tobias spits, "I should have read my Uncle's guide to politics more closely."

"Theyre interesting. From a writers stand point they could be the key to my book I'm working on. Potentially these two broken ones will suffice provided I can do enough work on them. But a live one would expedite the process considerably."

"I'll say no more. We're each here for our own reasons, things like that trap and these little guys are mine."

"I can assure you that if it turns out they're merely worth a bit of coin, or something you'll find interesting yourself Lilia to share them with you."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tobias stares back at Bastion.

"Indeed."

Bluff: 1d20 - 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (16) - 6 + (2) = 12

-Posted with Wayfinder

Everyone's free to make a Sense Motive check against Tobias' lie if they like.

Do so at your own peril.

:P

-Posted with Wayfinder

Well he won't be giving it away if he can help it.

Bluff: 1d20 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (14) - 1 + (4) = 17

Tobias shrugs his shoulders.

"I figure if we can disarm one of the little buggers someone might pay a good bit for them once we get out of here."

"Rubble isn't worth all that much after all."

-Posted with Wayfinder

In general I understand your philosophy and agree with it, excepting during combat.

*To me* combat is sacred.

Does Lilia possess the knowledge to know that the dolls "this might be one of the greatest discoverys in this era". Because if not Tobias hasn't said anything about it so we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Tobias grimaces.

"You could have atleast not smashed them up." as he goes over to the two destroyed by Bastion and Dorian, ignoring the dust that Gil left behind.

He sweeps up the two broken dolls into his backpack.

"If we find anymore of these keep it alive. It's important."

-Posted with Wayfinder

You forgot your - 4 from firing into melee Lilia.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Okay then.

Tobias will draw his crossbow and fire at one of the dolls, careful not to hit anyone else with his aim.

Shot: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

Critical damage is a bit off there Dorian. Should be 2d6+2.

Initial damage was with the first hit (2). Critical damage is added to it (+3), for a total of 2d6+2.

Ah Okay I see it now. I didn't notice you wrapped your initial attack and damage rolls into the same line.

Also I'll go ahead and knowledge check these for when Tobias' turn comes around.

Knowledge: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + (6) = 19

"Humm. I can't tell if these shields reliefs are part of a trap or not."

Can Tobias take 20 on inspecting these reliefs? If so he will do so for a 26.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tobias will proceed to the nearest shield moulding to examine it as a way to hide anymore darts or other traps, watching the floor as he goes.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

-Posted with Wayfinder

Just curious, what are we waiting for?

Tobias will probably go through the whole tomb and appraise it. But he's waiting before it's been thoroughly detrapped and explored first.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tobias will also examine the darts for poison before leaving the room.

Taking 10 for a 20. Also Bastion, Lilia did try to identify the vials already she just didn't make the DC. Tobias did but didn't share it with anyone because he assumes Lilia would be able to easily identify Alchemists Fire as well.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Tobias." he replies absentmindedly as he continues to make notes.

Also always use update on drop, if you don't moving tokens takes up way more processing power.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I would also suggest using different colors to separate objects.

For instance I always use white for walls but red for doors so I can easily pick out what I'm trying to delete and don't end up taking out a whole nest of walls trying to open a door.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yeah the usual trick there is to avoid freehand drawing and stick to the polygon tool and the draw rectangle/circle tool.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Oh also JGray, I'm not sure how familiar you are with roll20, but if you have any questions let me know; I've been using it for years now and have experience with the API, lighting, etc.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"That's more like it!" yells Tobias as he quickly gets to his feet and runs to the walls, setting down his pack he fumbles around in it until he finds a quill and ink.

Tobias hands his torch to Dorian momentarily as he begins scribbling down notes furiously.

Tobias is going to take 2 or 3 minutes examining the trap in its entirety. Taking 20 for 26 to examine the trap.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tobias sets up to the plate and begins to work around it trying to find the trigger and disarm it.

Disarm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Are you capable of trap disarming Gil? If you're not too sure about the mechanism, I can always give it a shot."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tobias shadows Gil slightly behind him also on the lookout for any danger, "Agreed, we've yet to face any resistance, it's only a matter of time."
