Umikh Ironbender's page

I've got the beginnings of a Life Cleric sketched out, but now I gotta go do IRL stuff. I'll fiddle with it this evening, see if it still looks good, and set up a new char on here, roll on the table, etc. :-)

Happy Thanksgiving! After our traditional Turkey Trot walk, we're making a (totally non-)traditional lasagna. It smells reaaaaalllly good in this house right now.

I'd like to know more about the Moonshae Isles backgrounds if it's convenient to post.

Do we have any healers? It could be fun to play a "mom" cleric, or maybe there's a healing type sorcerer I think. Dunno, still undecided.

4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 1) = 15
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 4) = 9
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 3) = 11
4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 6, 2) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 5, 4) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 1) = 10

14, 11, 11, 10, 9, 8.... uh standard array it is then! The low dice rolls are a house curse lol.

(15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8)

Uh, no idea what to play, brain is fried right. I'll see what other folks wanna play and try to fill in a gap.

Yeah Umikh woulda remembered Baldy collects the black glass rock. :-)

Just wanted to add that I loved the wild magic. Played a character with it and it can just be so chaotic and fun! I also thought how you played him as not understanding he's the one doing the magic was really interesting and fun to play around.

OK as for What's Next. If y'all aren't digging the WotC, is there something else that would keep the group together? I am dogpiles at remembering rules but I'd be willing to switch it up if that works better. In the end, I'd rather play anything than no-thing. I'd prefer to keep playing Umikh but can easily make a new character. Maybe a dwarf, dunno maybe someone who's a fighter, lol. :-)

Player says we GTFO. Character would want to help out any "good" or good-leaning dwarves and honor our agreement. Either way, we need a place to rest up. I don't think this room is the best place - maybe we wait until our grey dwarf friend comes back? Maybe we don't quite trust him and find our own hidey hole?

Eh, he'd probably do the potion and then help him to wherever spell healing is going down.

HP: 43/64

Baldy, no! Medic!! And if no one beats Umikh to it, a healing potion gets dumped down your charred throat. He has/had 2 healing pots.

Please please please tell me you were still in the hall!? LOL!

43/64 HP

Umikh would have given the fallen king an extra wack with the sword just to be sure (plus fury and rage and all that). Allowing all the rest of the baddies to be beaten or to surrender, he will start rooting around for any healing potions to revive fallen and badly injured companions.

And after that, well Turq said it, Bloody hells indeed!

Well I guess I haven't already gone, d'oh.
43/64HP

Umikh runs up to the king...

Longsword 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage 1: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Longsword 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage 2: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
I am not sure those hit

...and with a furious yell lashes out at him, hoping to lop his friggin' head off. Alas, the noggin stays put.

43/64HP

Longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Umikh swings furiously at the remaining spore beasties, trying to cut them down so he can get to Turq.

I'm okay with continuing this adventure. I feel like a round every few days is nicer, I get into the groove of checking daily. We could recruit a couple more folks or just roll with what we got.

So that's Rodalas up next?

Note for me for later: 43/64HP, and a thanks to Gideon.

Nice sound effects, Baldrick!
19/64 HP

Second Wind: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Attack 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Attack 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Desperately needing to get the many creatures surrounding him knocked down, Umikh sucks in a deep breath and hollers a ferocious battle cry Second Wind, and does his level best to cleave in twain the spore creature in front of him pink. He's looking worse for the wear, but he's still got fight in him!

29/64 HP

27/64 HP
AOO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Dam: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

@greycastle, Mell is no longer online I don't think. Can we bot her and move to the next round?

Is it Mell and Rodalas up?

HP 51/64
Umikh decides that an unsteady undead thing is less of a threat than the creature next to him. Two hits to green-square.
Longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Bleh
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

In the unlikely event that green goes down, he would turn his next hit to newly arisen pink.

Pretty sure we lost Mell, might need to bot her for this fight. Should I go ahead and take a couple of swings so you have 'em?

Just reading that gave me a sense of what a massive fight this is!

Yeesh, quite the melee here!
At "only" 13 down, saving second wind for now.

Umikh focuses on his small corner of the fight.
Longsword to pink: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
damage to pink: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Longsword to green: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
damage to green: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Are we waiting on Mel? Should I go ahead and go so you can add it after the baddies go?

I think the KING is black

HP: 57/64

Umikh swings back at pink...
Longsword attack 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 daym!
Att 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

...dealing two solid slices as he scooches closer, hoping to give some protection to allies in the back.

Our DM (my hubs) is at a conference this week so the next post might not happen until the weekend. He said he was gonna post on Tuesday, I wonder if Paizo ate the post (!!).

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Why am I bothering with stealth?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Jingly jangly armor: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

He sends one whisper to Wrong Way Buddy, and then Umikh walks in to the room behind Turq (and Baldrick if he turns around), eyes peeled and sword ready. He's looking specially for the king and will move towards him once spotted.

Well that sounds nerve-wracking!

Think Turq is the first to enter

Umikh inhales deeply, and exhales slowly, readying his sword and gripping it tightly. Quietly, he looks to the group and whispers Any spells or arrows you can hurl over our heads would be useful. He then looks pointedly at Baldrick, shakes his head with a slight grin, Luck be with us, and faces the door.

Waiting for the reply to Baldrick's question, Umikh is similarly wary with his hand on his sword.

Umikh appreciates its construction

Umikh mutters in Dwarvish, something something one threat out of the way, something something trap, something about his sword getting to sing or maybe it was drink?, you're not sure, but he's right behind Baldrick, marching stoutly down to meet this King.

Hope YOU had fun!

Any tips fer gettin' this king? Any weaknesses? Or just be on our merry way....

If/when we do indeed press forward with taking out this king, we need details like weaknesses, numbers, strategies, whatever info we can get.

Knowing she can still hear him, Umikh nevertheless whispers Seems we got little choice. Might as well try, gotta protect all the folks around these parts.

The obvious sense motive or whatever the WotC kids are calling it these days: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Ya, meh friend here is right, but uh who's "Xardorok" an' why d'ya sound so keen on seein' him ended? If'n he's the king and yer the queen, doesn't that make ye, you know....?

Umikh will make his way into the room as well, letting the conversation flow whilst looking around. (Which you already described, but just in case, perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10. LOL.)

evens or odds, decide for me oh dice gods: 1d10 ⇒ 2

Looking around first to make sure we're all in line, Umikh, catching up to be behind Baldrick, says I think he means th' next door on the left. He motions over his shoulder way down the hall.

I scooched our tiles over.

We're not dead yet! That's the spirit!!

Well that took this dwarf by surprise. Not wanting to seem off his game, Umikh looks to the others, shrugs in a non-committal manner, Eh why not? he says low (and clearly to just the others, not speaking on behalf of).

Umikh pockets a couple of coins he found, Bah, let's just take it now and go explorin'! Along with Turq and Baldrick, Umikh would help check rooms as we move along.

Perception if it's handy to have: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Random strength test for any heavy doors, no he doesn't check for traps, he's a dwarf: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

I worked in the employment industry for many years. Sounds like what you're encountering is a system that's very regimented with little flexibility. In the places I worked, you'd say reach out to 2-3 previous employers/supervisors knowing only 1 or 2 would get back to you. It's unfortunate because they're probably screening out many highly qualified folks like you over some sticky rule.

I'd recommend reaching out to one of your former supervisors on your own, making sure they're okay with receiving a call, and then list that person as the former supervisor. If that's allowable. Sheesh sorry mate.

Loot the bodies! Oh wait, I play a nice guy now.

Everyone okay? Thanks for the healing, mate!

Walking around, We should check these bodies and see if they have anything of use to us. He points his axe down the hallway X4. Whadya reckon is through that door?

Umikh follows his mates over the table please move me if I'm not in a real space.

Longsword att1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Longsword att1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Yikes, that's a long time to be without power!

Sweet! Hope the job offers keep rolling in, Rodalas!

FYI our DM worked all day Saturday so is delayed on next post. Also we will be out of town - and out of cell service - Thursday through Sunday. Hanging with friends at a castle (Ravenwood Castle). Hoping for good weather and good times.

Longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Longsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Reroll that 2: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Umikh deftly slices into the big duergar's side, following that with a slice into the belly, hoping the rest of the crew is okay after that loud explosion I figure he just heard the fireball and hasn't really focused on who threw it.

Being wanted (for an interview) is awesome!

HP: 48/64
The correct modifiers this time!
Ouch! Nope, not taking another hit, you're going...

Longsword swing and a hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Longsword swing and a holy wow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
damage: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (10, 9) + 5 = 24
