Tyr Sallagrimson's page

So I got sick.

The first sign you’re in trouble is when you visit the doctor’s office and the last thing they say to you before you leave is “We’ve called the hospital and they’re expecting you”.

The second sign is when the doctors at the first hospital transfer you to the second hospital because the specialist they would normally have you see has gone home for the day and they say “We don’t think waiting until he gets back in the morning is a good idea.”

The third sign comes when you realize that it hasn’t even been 24 hours since you visited you doctor’s office and they’re taking you into surgery.

The panic sets in after the surgery. Strangely enough it is when they say “You’re so lucky you went to the doctor when you did. We caught this early enough you’ll get to keep your leg” you realize that it could have killed you.

The funny thing is I didn’t go to the doctor because of the fever or the pain in my ankle, in fact I almost didn’t mention it. It was just my regularly scheduled visit because of my high blood pressure, but my doctor saw me limping, and he dragged the whole story out of me. How everybody got a cold and then got better, except for me. How whenever I stopped taking ibuprofen the fever came back. How I had twisted my ankle the week before. Turns out everyone else in my family probably had just a cold. I didn’t.

An antibiotic resistant bacterial infection was lurking in my system but it wasn’t strong enough to effect my mostly healthy organs. Then, I hurt my ankle and it attacked, setting up shop in my bone and started pumping out all sorts of nasty stuff into the rest of my body. The surgeons went in and cut it out. I spent about a week in the hospital and have at least a month or so of recovery ahead of me. I’ve managed to avoid the at home IV antibiotics, by taking massive doses in pill form of a powerful antibiotic that doctors weren’t sure would even work, but it did.

I’ve been at home for a few days now and I can’t say for sure when I’ll be up to posting regularly. I’ve been feeling guilty about not posting but I haven’t been feeling up to trying to post a coherent message from my tablet either. I’ve finally grabbed my daughter’s laptop and typed this up. I’m just not sure how long it’s going to be before I get back into the swing of things.

If I’m a player in your game I’m sorry. If it makes sense please run my pc as it makes sense. For those of you who I’m the game master … well it’s going to be a few more days.

Sorry for not keeping up the last few days, everybody in my house got sick at once, wife, kids and me.

Should be able to update later today.

Tyr moves stealthly until he's at point blank range and takes a shot.

stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
attack PB, PS: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 +2 vs Undead for damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 +2 vs undead

shield is slung on back so I can use my bow, this also brings my AC down by two but bumps up my stealth ... AC is now 19

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 +2 vs. Undead

Tyr readies to fire an arrow or two if needed.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

knowledge skill religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 +2 vs undead

arrow #1, point blank (PB), precise shot(PR), Rapid Shot(RS): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 +2 vs undead for damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 +2 vs undead

arrow#2, PB, PR, RS: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 +2 vs undead for damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 +2vs undead

Tyr fires two arrows, if his first arrow kills its target he'll put his second arrow into a different creature.

cure light wounds wand on Maeron: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
cure light wounds wand on Tyr: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

2 more charges used, 13 charges total since start of adventure

Tyr heal Maeron and himself again with the wand. "This place is cursed and things are going bad. I'm sure we're all feeling the lost of Zarzukett and your companion Maeron. What we're going to do now is rest up and then come take another crack at this place."

Tyr retrieves his cure light wounds wand from Max and uses it on

Max healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 and
Max again healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 and
Cacumattus healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 and
Hisao healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 and
Hisao again healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 and
Hisao again healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 and
Maeron healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 and
Maeron again healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 and
Himself healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 and
Himself again healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

1O charges used, I think 11 charges used overall

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

It suddenly occurs to me that Tyr should grab Maeron and runs with the rest. How about Tyr grabs whoever can't move by themselves and then runs with the rest?

Tyr grabs max and runs with the rest.

My vote's for fleeing, we should all try to flee the same way, Max pass Tyr the torch if you can and he'll pass you the cure light wand, I've got the most hit points left, so I'll play rear guard if anyone has to. We've got to get Zarzuket back up, not only does he have alchemist's fire in his pack, his bombs are also effective versus swarms

I'm not sure about the action economy but I want to try to retrieve my cure light wounds wand and then heal Zarzuket

cure light wounds wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Alchemist Fire, Point Blank Range, percise shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I've got a wand of cure light we can use after this fight to heal everybody, Max or Maeron should heal Zarzuket and I'll use my last alchemist fire vial.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Thrown Alchemist Fire (Point blank, percise shot): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

knowledge nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

arrow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9Knowledge skill: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Tyr fires another blunt arrow 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 for damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 confirm crit 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 for an extra 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (5, 6) + 12 = 23

It is darkwood compostite longbow with a +3 Str rating, I used Hero Labs like a lot of people do for character generation and printing out the stat block, I never noticed before that it didn't list the bow's str rating. I did pay 2 prestige points for it because a darkwood composite longbow of +3 Str is exactly 750gp and I thought that was a great use of those points for an archer.

skill check Knowledge Religon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 +2 vs undead.

Tyr fires a blunt arrow at the creature 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 for damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 +2 vs undead comfirm crit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 probably not

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 2 = 18

"Thank you for the healing."

Tyr takes a five foot step back attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 - 2 = 17 and fires a single arrow at the creature for damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 - 2 = 7.

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Tyr follows along behind Hiaso, also watching for traps perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 and moving silently stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Tyr says "Barred from the inside?" He goes silent for a moment and then mutters to himself "what are the odds of it happening twice?"

Tyr says to his companions "I once went into someplace similiar to this and found a survivor of a previous expedition behind a barred door...I wonder. Let me try something before we break it down."

Tyr walks up to the door and knocks on it and in a loud voice says "Open up please, We're Investigators hired by Pharasma's clergy to look into what's been going on down here. We're here to help."

Tyr's last adventure under spoiler

edited to take in account Maeron's post

Tyr keeps watch perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Tyr takes a long time studying the area. Can I take 20 on perception here? If so my total would be 27

Knowledge Relgion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 +2 bonus if concerns undead

Tyr slings his shield on his back and swaps his sword for his bow.

Take 10 on perception = 17

"Look there's graffiti on the walls, anyone make any sense of it?

Tyr moves down the stairway.

"I'm Tyr Sallagrimson. I'm a fair hand with a bow and reasonable with my sword if I do say so myself. As a follower of Pharasma it offends me deeply that someone or something is disturbing the dead." States a stereotypical Ulfen warrior. Tall, muscled, blonde hair, blue eyes, heavily bearded its as if someone asked for a figure from the old tales of the North to come to life and attended this gathering.
