Uriel Aurelius's page

Tried to fly out on Tuesday for a family event, but the flight out of here went through DFW. It was delayed 90 minutes, and then another 30 minutes, and then canceled. Which is probably fine since most flights out of DFW were also canceled that day. Better to not leave than be stranded at a hub.

With another big storm brewing for the weekend, which would have been my return time, I'm thinking I dodged a second bullet.

I live about 3.5 hours northeast of DFW. This wasn't the worst winter storm in living memory (not nearly as many people here out of power as the 200 Ice Storm, for instance), but we were hit hard enough that my university canceled classes for a week and some side roads are still dicey today (as I found when driving to church this afternoon).

"I don't know that I have it in me to smite any more foes today, but my cold iron blade cuts through most demons well enough." Uriel says, looking tired but not fatigued.

Can anyone remember how long it's been OOC since we had a long rest? I've lost track of my uses of smite, LoH, and the like. Not sure there's time IC for a rest, but I could use one to reset those counters.

"I'm always down for a scrap, but seriously, is every room here full of demons? I feel like we've had a fight around every corner in this place."

Still waiting for Uriel to reply on his hit point situation.

Sorry! I'm showing 51/87 on HeroLab. I should do a better job of updating my stat line here.

Uriel dashes forward to atack the remaining demon.

Move and Attack, and since I only get the one swing I'll Vital Strike.
Attack, Masterwork Cold Iron Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 34
Damage, Slashing/Cold Iron: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (9, 10) + 10 = 29
Crit?
Attack, Masterwork Cold Iron Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 17
Damage, Slashing/Cold Iron: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

I'm not entirely sure I get the +2 from flanking, but in this case it doesn't matter.

GM, what are the blacked-out enemies on the map? Are those dead?

I’m still here and ready for whatever whenever.

Prayers for all of y'all and your loved ones.

Yeah, those hit.

I'll be honest, this fight has been going on so long IRL that I've completely lost track of how many smites and whatnot I've used 'today'. I think I'm out of smites, but I'm sure I have some MP left. Going to use one for Fleet Charge now.

With a surge of mythic power, Uriel surges past Alexa on burning wings to flank the boastful succubus.

"It's over for you" he says.

Attack, Legendary Cold Iron Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 17
Damage, Slashing/Cold Iron: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Attack, Legendary Cold Iron Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19
Damage, Slashing/Cold Iron: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Attack, Legendary Cold Iron Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25
Damage, Slashing/Cold Iron: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

It does, yes. I'm at 26 vs Evil Outsiders currently.

Uriel takes a moment to activate his Righteous Medal of Valor, and another to size up the Succubus. Then he attacks.

Swift for the medal, Move to activate Fiendish Studies, standard for Vital Strike.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 29
Damage: 2d10 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10, 9) + 10 + 2 = 31

Growing really very tired of this, Uriel manifests a set of five burning wings from his back and flies across the room to attack!

Swift action for wings. I can't charge through the others, so just a regularmove+ attack. Vital Strike since I can't full attack.

Attack, Masterwork legendary cold iron bastard sword: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 = 29
Damage, Cold Iron/Slashing: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (4, 9) + 10 = 23

Uriel dashes forward and hacks at the demon!

Attack, Mwk bastard sword, Vital Strike: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 = 25
Damage, cold iron/slashing: 2d10 + 11 ⇒ (2, 8) + 11 = 21

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Uriel is a bit slow on the uptake as the 'man's' form shifts.

Did you have a snake fight?

Uriel moves forward into the room, activating his second sight as he does so.
Detect Evil

That means your horses are sick, right?

(I kid, I kid, feel better soon!)

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Uriel waits at a distance, not trusting himself to be able to move quietly. He prepares to activate his righteous medals as need be.

Hey y'all, my aunt passed away sunday. Thursday I'm flying to Florida for her funeral, won't be back until next sunday, and tomorrow I'll mostly be packing/getting things in order for the trip. Bot me as needed. Or find some distraction that Uriel needs to take care of for a few days.

Sounds good to me.

"You said 'up here' earlier. Is someone else in charge in the basement?"

Gosh, that's awful.

Uriel steps up behind Darya, his bastard sword in hand. "Surrender and we will spare your lives." Uriel calls out, pitching his voice to reach the farther guards as well.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 1 = 18
Don't think I can get to a point where I can see the other two, but they should be able to hear me.

"If so, we'd better do it quickly!" Uriel says, glancing back and forth between the downed bodies and the direction the others fled.

Back and better than ever!

On an unrelated, have I shared the metal song some folks made by covering and adding lyrics to music from the WotR video game's soundtrack here before? It rocks!

That is awesome.

Uriel attacks the guard in front of him.

Attack, Mwk Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Damage, Slashing/Cold Iron: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Attack, Mwk Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Damage, Slashing/Cold Iron: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Attack, Mwk Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Damage, Slashing/Cold Iron: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Uriel strikes back at the gargoyle that clawed him him.

Attack, mwk bastard sword: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Damage, cold iron/slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Attack, mwk bastard sword: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Damage, cold iron/slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Attack, mwk bastard sword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Damage, cold iron/slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Double checked my numbers and found I'd forgotten to count a couple of buffs. Thanks for including that Effects line, GM.

It does hit, but I've got blur. Roll your miss chance. :P

Uriel glances back and forth, mildly concerned that they're surrounded in such a tight hallway. Then he attacks the most injured gargoyle.
I think that's Gargoyle 6. If I kill it I'll switch to Gargoyle 3.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

As he finishes, he quickly moves to heal some of his wounds.
Lay on Hands: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2) = 12

I'm really sorry to hear that. Take all the time you need, I hope things improve.

This exactly. Moms come first.

That's never good.

Uriel glances over his shoulder then, with a grimace of consternation, activates his Righteous Medal of Valor and attacks the gargoyle in front of him with a savage series of blows.

Attack, +1 Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Crit?
Attack, +1 Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Attack, +1 Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Attack, +1 Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
If I kill the first one, I move subsequent attacks to the next one in line, in front of Alexa.

That's the wrong kind of laid. You want to get the other kind of laid.

Happy Birthday!

Uriel, let me know if that hits. I don't think it does?

Just missed, thanks to my having the presence of mind to activate the Alacrity Medal earlier.

I'm using my Standard to empower my sword, so I don't think I could ready an attack anyway. What say we Move back to A6 and A7, to allow more party members to surround them and join in?

Losing a pet is always rough. My condolences.

As the gargoyles advance, Uriel swiftly activated his Righteous Medal of Agility, then channels holy power into his sword. Glancing to Darya with raised eyebrow, he says "Draw them back into the hallway?"

Swift action for the medal (+2 Dex for 1 minute), standard to make the sword +1, readying a move to step back and try to draw them out, if Darya agrees (don't want to step back and leave her by herself).

Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Uriel grins right back and matches Darya step for step, only pausing to allow her to proceed him through the door. "Ladies first..." he says, pulling it open for her.

If Alexa's done all the scouting there is to do, it's probably time for the Uriel and Darya show.

Uriel follows Alexa, careful to stay far enough back to give her room to maneuver.

Did the blue keep Uriel from being hurt?

I think that was an area effect, Blur wouldn't matter.

Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Uriel is able to dodge much of the blood, but is still scalded by the remainder. After applying resistance, I take 3 damage.

Shaking off the demonic ichor, Uriel resumes hacking at the hideous demon.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 1 = 20
Damage, Cold Iron/Slashing: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 1 = 23
Damage, Cold Iron/Slashing: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 = 30
Damage, Cold Iron/Slashing: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Crit?
Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20
Damage, Cold Iron/Slashing: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Oof. That's hard. Take your time, family is more important.

As the Riftwarden casts her spell, Uriel moves forward into combat and takes a mighty hack at one of the brimoraks.

I attack the one in front of Kemat. Stay away from our healer, demon! Vital Strike since I can't full attack.

Attack, Vital Strike: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
Damage, Cold Iron/Slashing: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (7, 6) + 10 = 23

"Telerin, Kemat, fall back to us!" Uriel says, needing one of the casters to clear the way so he can attack.

I'll hold my action until one of them moves.

Reflex: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 2 = 25
Reflex: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 = 31
After applying Fire Resistance 5, I take a total of 5 damage.

Impossibly fast, Uriel leaps forward and hacks at the rightward Brimorak with his blade!
Using one MP for Fleet Charge, move up to my speed and make an attack as a swift action. That single attack (not the full attack to come after) gains a bonus equal to my tier (+2) and bypasses DR)

Attack, Fleet Charge w/Power Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 2 = 37
Damage, Slashing, Cold Iron: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Crit?
Attack, Fleet Charge w/Power Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 2 = 22
Damage, Slashing, Cold Iron: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Attack, Fleet Charge w/Power Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Damage, Slashing, Cold Iron: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Attack, Fleet Charge w/Power Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Damage, Slashing, Cold Iron: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Attack, Fleet Charge w/Power Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Damage, Slashing, Cold Iron: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Crit?
Attack, Fleet Charge w/Power Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Damage, Slashing, Cold Iron: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

I love this campaign so much.

With Haste, my AC is 24, so the talon missed.

"Today you taste the wrath of Ragathiel! Smite Evil Uriel says to the Vrock, before laying into iot with quick slashes from his sword.

Smite ignores DR, the first one to hit does an extra 6 damage
Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
Damage, Cold Iron/Slashing: 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26

Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
Damage, Cold Iron/Slashing: 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Damage, Cold Iron/Slashing: 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

I did forget about haste, thanks.
