Tortuga's page

Tortuga just about literally starts bouncing off of walls, putting his boots to any undead that try to break through.

Guard: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 5, 3) = 13

Apologies everyone. Due to budget limitations I've had to take on more of the workload at work. My lack of free time culminated with having to deal with a critical issue recently. I've spent just about every waking hour in the past 5 days working.

It's going to get better, but I'll never know when the next problem is going to pop up. Right now I just can't be a reliable poster and I need to severely cut back on my games, perhaps down to nothing.

It just wouldn't be fair to the rest of you to try to hang on and disappear for days at a time, so I need to withdraw. This sort of adventure needs everyone active and participating.

Sorry, I hope your adventure goes well.

"Aye and we should decide who should go in. Sending us all in may not be the best idea."

I'll keep it.

Tortuga doesn't really have any option other than tear them apart with his bare hands.

Work has been taking up most of my time these past 2 weeks. Hopefully things quiet down soon.

Janira?..

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41

"There is a group lurking over there."

Can we tell if they are observing us?

I'm curious if these are the same DCs to open the gate as in the Year of the Shadow Lodge special. If they are, good luck getting them open.

Tortuga will activate his ki to toughen his skin (barkskin: 150 mintutes)

"I'm used to doing things the noisy way."

"I recall those gates are pretty sturdy, but well do our best to break in."

No purchases for Tortuga.

I think we had a decent challenge without hard mode last time.

Tortuga is going to hang on to his gold hoping to have enough to upgrade his belt of physical perfection after this scenario.

Prof:Sailor: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

Tortuga moves around behind the flying priestess and attempts to smash her once with a head kick.

She can take an AoO against AC 48 if she wishes.

Stunning fist, DC 25 Fort on a hit or stunned for 1 round.
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (3) + 24 = 27 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (10, 2) + 5 = 17 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

Will use my folio reroll
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 24 + 3 = 31

The dice just don't want to cooperate.

Wasn't sure on her height or what Gaius was wielding, so I didn't apply bonus for flank. Hopefully I'm at least in position to set up flanking for Sir Ambrose.

Honing his defenses, Tortuga activates his boots and then flies around behind Saviya.

Swift to activate furious defense. Standard to activate winged boots. Move to fly around. She can take an AoO, but I have a +8 bonus to AC due to ki and mobility. +4 to AC vs any other attacks until the end of his next turn.

Assuming Repulsion is still active.
WILL: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 2 = 31

Tortuga is too far away to help.

Hopefully Gaius has some decent healing on deck still. She may be running out of tricks, but we are running out of hp.

Fort: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27 (+2 vs spell/spell-like, poison)

Yes, Tortuga would try to finish off the creature.

Yes, I did account for haste.

Tortuga tries to finish off Xagish.

Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 3 = 7 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1) + 3 = 6 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (10, 1) + 3 = 14 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (8, 8) + 3 = 19 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 3 = 7 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (9, 5) + 3 = 17 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

Confirm: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (3, 9) + 3 = 15

Continue to spend ki to increase AC by 4.

Since he hasn't used his immediate action yet, would Sir Ambrose like Tortuga to spend some ki to allow you to reroll that save? Looks like you are withing 30 feet of Tortuga.

I doubt it. They seem to have ACs in the mid to high 30s, so I think I only hit once for 23 damage.

Tortuga continues to pummel the creature next to him, hoping to rely on his ki to keep him fighting. +4 to dodge if attacked

First attack is a stunning fist. Fort DC 25 or staggered for 1d6+1 rounds.
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (9, 8) + 3 = 20 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 = 10 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (2) + 22 = 24 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (4, 10) + 3 = 17 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (10, 1) + 3 = 14 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (8, 7) + 3 = 18 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (6, 7) + 3 = 16 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

If staggered, Medusa's Wrath

FYI, natural 20s are always crit threats.

When you make an attack roll and get a natural 20 (the d20 shows 20), you hit regardless of your target’s Armor Class, and you have scored a “threat,” meaning the hit might be a critical hit (or “crit”).

Increased Threat Range

Sometimes your threat range is greater than 20. That is, you can score a threat on a lower number. In such cases, a roll of lower than 20 is not an automatic hit.

Any attack roll that doesn’t result in a hit is not a threat.

Tortuga flies into action against Xagish.

Flying Kick

First attack is stunning fist. DC 25 Fort or staggered for 1d6+1 rounds on a hit.
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 30 Damage: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 3 = 12 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
If staggered, 2 free attacks

Will continue to spend ki if attacked to add +4 to my AC.

Gaius has a ring of evasion listed at the bottom of his sheet. Hopefully he's actually wearing that.

Tortuga knew something needed to change quickly. He pulled away from the creature attacking him. AC 48 vs AoO

He touched Gaius with his glove causing all the sapphires on that hand to dim and then crack....

Breath of Life: 5d8 + 9 ⇒ (2, 2, 7, 6, 6) + 9 = 32

Will spend more ki to increase my AC if attacked again (AC 44)

Waiting for the residual effects of the spell to wear off Tortuga takes a defensive posture.

Spend 1 ki as a swift action for +4 dodge bonus to AC until the end of my next turn.

Standard action attack defensively (-4 to hit, +3 AC) using touch of serenity.

Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 24 - 4 = 25

On a hit DC 23 Will or the creature is unable to attack for 1 round.

Current AC = 47, touch 38, CMD 58

Am I missing something? Everyone except Allie is currently staggered, right? That means neither Shump nor Wynn should be able to take full attacks this round. I need to get this straight because my choice of actions will likely be very different if I have a full action vs not.

Who was targeted by the overwhelming presence spell? I'm not sure that everyone was close enough to target: one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart. It's important because even if you make the save you are staggered for 1 round. Same targeting issue with Allie's haste, I suspect.

"No two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart" is not the same as "each target must be within 30 ft of another target". It doesn't chain from one target to the next. It means if any two creatures are more 30 ft apart then both cannot be a target of the spell regardless of other intervening targets.

I also have a racial +2 to saves vs spells, but I'm hoping that doesn't matter in this case or we are all in trouble.

Tortuga assumes a fighting stance and attempts to reach out and touch the creature flying near him.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (13) + 24 = 37

Touch of Serenity: On a hit, no damage is dealt, but the target cannot cast spells or attack (including attacks of opportunity and attacks as immediate actions) for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 23 Will saving throw.)

"Never claimed they were the nicest people, but I did make my oaths to them and their cause."

Fly: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Tortuga hovers in place and continues to pummel the mantis.

Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (14) + 24 = 38 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (7, 4) + 5 = 16
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (5, 6) + 5 = 16
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (7, 4) + 5 = 16
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (9, 8) + 5 = 22
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 = 8

Tortuga delivers a flying kick toward the one soaring highest in the air (red).

AC 44 vs any AoO from movement.

The first attack will be a stunning fist. On a hit DC 25 Fort or be staggered for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 rounds.
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (5, 6) + 5 = 16

If staggered, 2 free attacks from Medusa's Wrath.

If not staggered by the first attack, the second attack will be a Touch of Serenity. On a hit, no damage but DC 23 Will or be unable to attack including AoOs or immediate actions for 1 round.
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (1) + 24 = 25 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (1, 8) + 5 = 14

Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (18) + 24 = 42 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (8, 1) + 5 = 14
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (13) + 24 = 37 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (5, 3) + 5 = 13
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (10, 9) + 5 = 24
Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (10, 9) + 5 = 24

I added it for you. When you are selecting the icon, hover over it and type the number you want to assign. Not sure if you can do it on mobile, may be a desktop only thing.

Tortuga enters his fighting stance (swift), sets his winged boots into action (standard) and begins to spiral skyward to a height of 40 feet, trying to make himself an attractive target for the creatures (move)

Sounds like I'm probably on my second barkskin (2.5 hours each). Other than that I have no other preparations to make.

I have a wand of freedom of movement. Someone should feel free to take it and use it. It should help with the movement in the winds but not the ranged attacks.

"Good to know. I don't need it. I just have a knack for understandin' what people are saying and how to talk to them. Never really understood how or why though."

Tortuga has a continual tongues effect active due to his class ability.

Hopefully then whoever we meet is fine with one person doing the talking. All it takes is for one of them to tell you that he wants one of us who doesn't speak draconic to answer and we have a problem.

How many of us speak Draconic?

Once we are about a few hours out, Tortuga will start spending ki on barkskin (each will last 2.5 hours).

Tortuga tried to use his natural instincts to help the group again.

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Someone had a Break Enchantment scroll didn’t they? This would be the time to use that, I think.

I have a wand of it that casts at CL 10.

I should only aid if you actually want to get into combat.

Do we have more castings of veil available? We could use that to change our disguise, couldn't we?

"Maybe I've got some wands that could help..."

Did the leg sweep attack hit and trip orange? I just need to know if I have to mark off the punishing kick use. Since he was stunned I got a 25 instead and he would have not had his Dex.

Tortuga decides that he needs to protect the casters so he turns his back on the Master and delivers a flying kick to the one standing over Wynn.

The Master gets an AoO vs AC 43.

All attacks vs orange. First attack will be a stunning fist (Fort DC 25).
First Primary Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (12) + 21 = 33 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (6, 1) + 5 = 12 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

If stunned, medusa's wrath kicks in.

Next attack will include a leg sweep. Free trip on a hit.
Second Primary Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (6, 2) + 5 = 13 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9
Trip: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (16) + 27 = 43

If not tripped, next attack will include a punishing kick. On a hit Fort DC 23 or knocked prone.
Third Primary Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

If tripped, Vicious Stomp attack follows.

Secondary Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (6, 9) + 5 = 20 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Tertiary Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (3, 6) + 5 = 14 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Spend 1 ki for an extra attack this round. Tortuga continues to kick at the large pink enemy until it stops moving. Once that creature drops use Flying Kick + Stunning Fist (Fort 25) to continue to flurry against the master (AC 43 if it provokes). If there are any remaining attacks, use Punishing Kick next (Fort 23 or prone) and then Touch of Serenity (no damage but Will 23 or no attacking for 1 round if not already stunned).

Ki Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (8, 8) + 5 = 21 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8

First Primary Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (3, 10) + 5 = 18 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

Second Primary Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (6, 9) + 5 = 20 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

Third Primary Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (10, 9) + 5 = 24 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Secondary Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (1, 10) + 5 = 16 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

Tertiary Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 Damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (10, 8) + 5 = 23 Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

I tried to but the forum ate my post and it's too long for me to want to type again, so I guess just delay me, but I'll likely try to post later in the evening when I am done with the con slots.
