Uldar Aren's page

Mmm... Perhaps John plans to come back later. Or we can talk about a way to follow the adventure. It feels like we were not that far from the end of the campaign.

Get well John. Thanks, thanks a lot for the time devoted to this game. It was a fun and worthy time together.

I will be around, so if you or the others ever want to continue this adventure or any other just let me know.

And good luck with your new roleplaying endeavour.

Uldar quickly accepts Kalizama offered silver dagger, and with a daring move he tries to stab the just stand up wolf.
AoO silver dagger+flank: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 = 29
Piercing/Silver damage-silver+sneak attack: 1d3 - 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) - 1 + (1, 2, 5) = 8
Those daggers are alchemical silver? That is -1 danage for slashing weapons if I recall properly

The halfling then attempts performing another flanking attack at the creature.
silver dagger+flank: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 = 32
Piercing/Silver damage-silver+sneak attack: 1d3 - 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) - 1 + (6, 6, 3) = 15
crit?: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 = 26
Piercing/Silver damage-silver: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
He stabs the dagger at the creatures right eye!

Uldar attempts to flank the remaining wolf-man stabbing his sword on the creature's back.
+1 shortsword+flank: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19
Piercing/Magical damage+sneak attack: 1d4 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (2, 6, 2) = 12

"It is healing! We have to burn and behead them! Try something!" shouts frantically.

Uldar is calmly piling the found treasure when the wolf comes back from the realm of the death.

"What's that!?" not really understanding what is going on, the little halfling attempts to flank the creature and stab it again with his sword.
+1 shortsword+flank: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 2 = 21
Piercing/Magical damage+sneak attack: 1d4 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (6, 3, 2) = 15

Uldar steps over the wolves, making sure they are not going to bother anymore with check of his shortsword. "What is all this crap. Wolves under a temple? Wine and curtains?"

The halfling takes a hand to his wounds. He will survive it seems, unless the wolves had something nasty. Then turns to the quarter and searches through the chamber.
Perception (+3 vs traps): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Assuming Uldar succeeded to place himself behind the wolves at K4, he attacks with his shortsword at the flanked wolf in the door thanks to Thrane and his animals.
+1 shortsword+guidance+flank: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 21
Piercing/Magical damage+sneak attack: 1d4 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (6, 2, 3) = 16

I saw no creatures in the room, so to be frank, I just thought it might be just some kind of window and tried to look behind the door.

My supposition is the wolves are the angels now.

Uldar attempts to feint the wolf at the door and move through its space setting himself at the back of the creature once inside the room.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25
Acrobatics (to avoid the second wolf AoO): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

If he has not succeeded to feint his way into the room, he steps to the side to let others fight the enemies. He then draws his magical shortsword.

At some point in the corridor, Uldar seems to feel something moving in the wall "Wait! There is something here..."

The halfling starts pushing with all his strength "I need the help!" and tries to open his way to the other side.
Strength: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

"What ill magics..." mumbles Uldar not seeing anything at the other side of the wall "So, unless you can step through the mirror I guess we perhaps made a mistake and those are real angels"

The halfling though starts ckecking for secret doors in the room, then in the corridor.
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Seeing no enemy in the room, Uldar continues working in the door's lock in order to open the path to another room.
Disable device (unlock): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31

Uldar will try to unlock the door at the first opportunity, rushing to do the task.
Disable device (unlock): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35 Please, apply any required penalty to do it rushed in just one standard action or full-round

Not seeing any enemy in the room, Uldar merely approaches the next door and opens it without taking the time to check for traps "Are they hiding behind the mirror?"

At the other side he checks what should be the rear of the mirror.
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Uldar nods and passes the message to Kalizama whispering at her ear "It seems the god envoys have been also corrupted by the filth of the Temple. We are going to trick them. Pass the message on" he says as he winks his right eye to the wizardress.
Bluff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Good luck Roran! I remember I would just fall sleep after days holding on coffee.

The free week afterwards was always cool though.

Sense motives: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Uldar also gets suspicious after Roran makes his fair note.

"Let's see it done!" Uldar leaves his bow and other weapons but keeps his magic shortsword and armor just in case.

"I hope we can repeat the process before fazing that Zuggtmoy or whatever minion control this temple" and he readies to get out of the room to see done the process without getting fried.

Thanks Story Master, I had forgotten that one!

"The Orb of Elemental Death... now... that is interesting. I guess finding the complete poem will bring us the knowledge on where and how to find the orb." Uldar brings his bow "What about that magic strengthening, how does that work?"

Uldar finally gathers enough strength to pose a question "Oh mighty helpers of Iuz. Do you have any idea how we might end the evilness of the temple for once and for all?"

Once answered the halfling adds "Did Iuz left other places or objects like this one that we might use against the Elemental Evil?"

Uldar seems captivated by the creatures, unable to avoid looking deeply at them without a word. He notes Velcore's birthmark though, which he has never seen before.

The halfling makes a signal, and trying to move silently sets himself in front of the small eastern door inspecting and then open it.
Perception (+3 vs traps): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Disable device: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34
Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

Understanding the group wants to follow up, Uldar studies the new doors, and then opens them.
Perception (+3 vs traps): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Disable device: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

"Damn! What ill magic is that one?" burst the halfling "Let's get back on move, we can come back once we are rested and Velcore can sacralize this place" proposes Uldar.

If the rest of the party also wants to move on, the little halfling moves to the northern doors and opens them after checking for traps.
Perception (+3 vs traps): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Disable device: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28

Uldar nods "Do we have a source of water to put off the coals?"

He then takes the initiative as suggested by Velcore and shots an arrow to one salamander.
+1 shortbow+Deadly aim: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Piercing/magical damage+Deadly aim+Sneak attack: 1d4 + 5 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (1, 4, 4) = 18

"Well, does anyone of you know how to sterilize this place?" says Uldar "We can attempt to follow the ritual to try discover what is the source of that magic Kalizama points out"

He looks at the bugbear when saying so some idea crossing his head. He then negates and looks at his inventory instead looking for something able to resist fire "I am not well prepared against the flames though..."

Uldar remains hidden, but he readies an action against the Salamanders in order to attack at whatever one seems to discover anyone in the party.

"Shall we attack the salamanders or avoid this room?" he whispers while waiting for Kalizama as he knows the woman is probably gonna know how to better deal with the room.

Yep, not important, but it is nice if you can keep neat the Players and Characters tabs :)

Playing with the Active and NPC checkboxes in the area Roran pointed out should make the trick.

"Weird place. Let's be careful" the halfling advances carefully to the northern tubes where he tries to hide from the small denizens.
Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

From there he searches the tubes and attempts to observe where the creatures are like likely coming from.
Perception (+3 vs traps): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

"How do you think those creatures have arrived this plane Kalizama or Velcore?" asks the halfling to the experts.

Uldar nods supporting the idea. Then if the bugbear does not lead the group, the halfling examines the next door (to the south I guess) and opens it after making sure it is clear.
Perception (+3 vs traps): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Disable device (unlock; take 20): 20 + 19 = 39

It sounds as a very good idea Velcore :)

"Good, then take us to whomever is the maximum authority of the Fire Temple and let us deal with him directly" orders Uldar to the bugbear "And let us use those Fire Temple tunics of your companions so we do not get bogged down as we reach him"
Intimidate: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

"Pin him!" shouts Uldar as he aims the bugbear readying an action to attack him if he attempts to escape.

"Let him talk! You, explain us what are the plans of the Temple of Fire! You are defeated." commands Uldar to the bugbear.
Diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19

Uldar takes aim at the still flatfooted human in the back and shots aiming to his head where it hurts the most.
+1 shortbow+PB-RS-DA (flatfooted): 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 22
Piercing damage+PB+DA+sneak attack: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 4 + (3, 2, 5) = 18

+1 shortbow+PB-RS-DA (flatfooted): 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 15
Piercing damage+PB+DA+sneak attack: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 4 + (3, 1, 1) = 12

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

"You stupid sloths! When will you understand we halflings are half your toll." screams Uldar outraged "You have thrown that spear one body over my head yet again!"

After helping the group to pick up all the items of interest in the room, Uldar starts moving to the southern doors.

"So... it seems the people in the Fire temple are trying to make the others kneel under their power" the halfling smiles "Good, perhaps this dissension we can use in this benefit"

He then approaches the southern door and starts checking it for traps.
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Disable device: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30
Disable device (unlock): 20 + 19 = 39

"Let's goooo!" says the halfling as he opens the door and continues on through the corridor.

Good to me.

Go ahead and write your name under the "Currently in" column for those items.

If someone else wants it, I am sure we can reason out of the dispute.

I am adding the loot to the Treasure sheet

Western
Uldar checks the room to make sure it is safe before continuing inside "Let's see what we have here..."
Perception (+3 vs traps): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
He then checks the chest and the copper box before opening them.
Perception traps (copper box): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Perception traps (brass chest): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
If locked, he uses his lock pick to solve it.
Disable device (take 20 box): 20 + 19 = 39
Disable device (take 20 chest): 20 + 19 = 39

Eastern
The halfling takes the same care when entering the other room.
Perception (+3 vs traps): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
He then checks the chest unlocking it if needed.
Perception traps (chest): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
Disable device (take 20 chest): 20 + 19 = 39

"Mmmm... this is most interesting... a book... what will it be about?" the halfling picks the book and let's Kalizama and the others to examine it as well.

The halfling turns to Kalizama with a reverence and a happy smile "My lock pick is yours my Lady!" he says as he checks the brass-chest pointed out by the wizard.
Disable device (take 20 unlock): 20 + 17 = 37

He laughs as Trane explains about Roran "Yes, you better make sure your clothes fit good to red blood color while you are standing next to him in a battle"

Uldar looks over the box he is working on to the newest arrival So that it is... "Do you know him Velcore?"

"That rolling entry was pretty awesome, among the best movements I have seen recently" he places his lock pick and turns it until hearing a clack "Mmm... monks? Are you a karateka? Anyway, I welcome any extra hand to clean this evil place"

Uldar checks the two doors in the north, the one northeast and the one northwest for dangers.
Perception (+2 vs traps): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Perception (+2 vs traps): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

If it does not seem to be creatures there, he relaxes and takes his time to check the large box near the fireplace.
Perception (take 20 vs traps): 20 + 9 + 2 = 31
If locked he starts unpacking his thief tools and patiently unlocks the box.
Disable device (take 20): 20 + 17 = 37
And checks its contents.

The halfling also points towards the fireplace and checks what have the bugbears been burning.
Perception (+2 vs traps): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

"Well... what do you think of this place? A command room?" the halfling looks at the now quite bodies at the other room.

Uldar shots at any surviving foe still at the room.
+1 Shortbow+PB-RS: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 - 2 = 21
Piercing damage+PB: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

+1 Shortbow+PB-RS: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27
Piercing damage+PB: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

"Let's move while our spells are still working!" exclaims the halfling.

Uldar steps on the empty spot I6 freed from Velcore and depending on where the giant spiders get positioned, the halfling shots at G or J, whomever is free from cover.
+1 Shortbow+PB-RS: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 2 = 11
Piercing damage+PB: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

+1 Shortbow+PB-RS: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 2 = 22
Piercing damage+PB: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Uldar steps back to J6 and double shots at the bugbear just in front (E).
+1 Shortbow+PB-RS: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27
Piercing damage+PB: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

+1 Shortbow+PB-RS: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 - 2 = 19
Piercing damage+PB: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

It's ok I guess. Perhaps would be useful to clean up the Character's tab list.

Welcome Carp!

For: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Uldar attempts to cover behind the wall in order to resist most of the blast. Still he grimaces, trying to recover from the strong ringing in his ears.

41/47 hp
Is it bugbears turn to attack or Thrane/Velcore/Kalizama?

Uldar attempts to hide himself in the corner from the just arrived bugbears.
Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

He then shots a couple of arrows at bugbear E, swapping targets to F if the first one drops.
+1 shortbow-RS+PB+Bless+Precise Shot: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 11 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 12 Automatic fail

+1 shortbow-RS+PB+Bless+Precise Shot: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 26
Piercing/Magical damage+PB: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Sneak attack damage if hide successful: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1) = 10

The small halfling shouts "We came here to save you from your corrupt leaders, depose your attitude or die!"

And steps to I6 into the room.

Uldar rapid shots at the B bugbear with his readied arrows.
+1 shortbow-RS+PB+Precise Shot (flatfooted): 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 18
Piercing/Magical damage+PB+sneak attack: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 + (2, 1, 5) = 14

If the first arrow drops B, Uldar shots at A instead with his next arrow.
+1 shortbow-RS+PB+Precise Shot (flatfooted): 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 30
Piercing/Magical damage+PB+sneak attack: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + (4, 6, 1) = 14
Crit? (flatfooted): 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 15
Piercing/Magical damage+PB: 2d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 + 2 = 8
