Valdrim Archedrast's page

Out of decent blasting... I need to rebook at my spell selection :(

That said I webbed and charmed the Spider and slept the Cavalier so he didn't kill any one in confusion so all in all I haven't had a bad run

GM call on that

Valdrim goes off at a run after them... wolf has only 3-4 rounds left.

Did the wolf trip BG1?

Valdrim steps up and swings hard at the guard with the Kukri with his longsword.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 (add 2 if Flank applies)
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The wolf also attacks the man.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 (add 2 if Flank applies)
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Wolf Trip 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Valdrim keeps his summoned wolf between him and the melee screaming Not in the face, not in the face! as he looks panicked.

A Wolf appears in front of Valdrim, and will bite at any guard who comes within arms length

Valdrim gives a peasant like "Awwk" at the sight and then pulls back to the far corner of the room (or as far away a movement will allow him in the room and starts casting summon monster II

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

i'll have her do the deed

Anything else we need see down here my friend, we need to see to your safety after this.

Any defenders or traps in that room? What treasures would the room contain?

Can I pass the faction mission by having HER do it for me? It's a creative approach given the situation.

taking her off to one side Valdrim asks in whispered tones, about a mirror used to communicate with certain Chellish interests and where it is and how it works and how it may be altered - normal ink or some other medium, and does it affect the working

Thank goodness we caught up with you when we did and the unpleasantness ended before people were seriously hurt!, he says. He goes on to explain that powerful enemies are chasing her but that Valdrim has a plan to get her out safe. He has the manacles Valeros speaks of kicked to her under/through the webs for her to put on. This is part of the plan and she must trust Valdrim. Assuming she puts them on, he dispels the web and others can secure her with rope.

dont fast forward... I need a private conversation with her, and I'm sure the others would like to loot the room as well... This all assumes she puts on the cuffs.

Not sure she is... There is some dispute on the save

Valdrims a lawyer. It's a RP reference rather than a literal quotation. Valdrim is a contract lawyer - both for diabolical and mundane law.

We weren't attacking her that round... not sure if it counts.

We webbed her the round before. No one was attacking her after that. Some were calling for her surrender and then I charmed her. She wasn't really in combat but it could be argued both ways... says the lawyer.

Valdrim mutters The third time is the charm and uses his arcane focus to bring forth his knowledge of the spell Sleep hoping that this will incapacitate his ally without harm Will DC 15

Valdrim steps away from the crazed warrior and casts Charm Person (DC15) at the Spider.

I want to hit our guy with a protection from evil but not sure if it would work... he isn't being dominated or controlled, right?

She is... now (the only one in the web), but she may have an ally in Terramor.

Whos da' man?! :D

We just have to hope our guy doesn't flip out now

Am I caught in the web or is she?

Ooooh - Cool! In that case IF there is room and circumstances allow for web (DC16) without catching the party and the room isn't too small, then thats what I do. Otherwise its charm person (DC15)

Is there a map?

Init 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

I go at the end of the round is my bet... I'll hit her with a Charm Person spell (DC15). If something significant happens before I may change it... if the room allows I am tempted to cast Web. I'll switch to that depending on the position and the map going up showing it is allowing Web (which may well pin her down even if she makes her save) as an option.

Not even sure what this door is - has it animated?

Wow - This seems very short.

Check the doors but quietly now, he hisses.

Go right ahead my good man... immune to poison, fire, and resistant to weapons and many other things. A perfect patsy.

Valdrim also lobs an alchemist fire into the swarm.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
1d6 ⇒ 4 (Will allow the DM to make adjustments for swarm damage and for the web going up in flames)

It seems both Valeros and Valdrim can't seem to get it past the strands that shield the characters from the main body of the spiders.

Ref sav lemure 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Initiative Valdrim 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Initiative Lemure 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12

oooh - web spell and spider swarms. Fire any one?

Loving the role play with the iconics

Valdrim begins an incantation in a harsh but somehow flowing language before a Lemure - a devil, appears close to the door in a puff of sulfurous smoke.

Valdrim speaks to it in fluent Infernal, telling it to open the door or failing that, break it down.

I've got 6 rounds duration with this bad boy... lets see what happens

Devils must be made to serve man, not man to serve devils, he says somewhat smugly.

I have a being that should be immune to the consequences of most traps that I can call forth to assist us in opening the door. Even if caught in the trap, it should survive, being a hardy sort... please allow me.

Don't Valeros, please, says Valdrim wearily, taking a step back and shielding his eyes.

What is the trigger? I will have a creature of the planes attempt it... please stand back out of the room. I have just the thing for most traps and I can say with certitude I have been waiting for this for some time, he says with a fierce grin.

Or summoned beasties?

If we wish to activate any potential trap then a summoned creature may be the thing. I personally favour your consumption of one of the potions and you manuevering to the door via the walls while we cover you. Hopefully a minute or two will see you able to find and disable any potential trap, and open the door. If there is trap that unfortunately activates, we will hope that your trained reflexes avoid the worst of it and rush in to save you. Otherwise, we would do as you have and navigate to the now open door using the potions, Valdrim says, speaking as if he were moving through a mental checklist of options and contingencies.

Sounds good but I think Mage Hand is what you use for that... and only if the trigger plate works on 1lb. I think a summoned beasty may be better

Is that for Valdrim or the GM? If its me, we could just by pass the floor and head straight for the door. We check the door, then deal with that and go through. It would be one very very weird villain to trap the walls or ceiling. The potions would be 3 minutes duration tops so we don't have time for anything more detailed. Otherwise we can standback and let you check the room and trust in your saving throws... maybe with a guidance or resistance spell cast on you as a buff. OR I can throw a summoned creature into the room and let it get mashed instead - I am ok on that too.

Use the potions and pull ourselves along the walls or the ceiling to the door?

I'd say if we need them then its too late... is there a way we can take them then pull ourselves along the walls? It would be very awkward to float and either fight or cast but perhaps better than triggering traps.

Fly skill? Wish I'd taken it now...

Be careful... , Valdrim thinks.

I'd say, given the nature of the potion and the note, we either want to fly up a tunnel at some point... or the floors are trapped in someway near the Spiders room and we want to stay off them. Be extra vigilant Merisiel and prehaps move a good 10 to 20 feet ahead of us when we move through the corridors.

So no paintings here - cool.

Valdrim hands the keys to Merisiel.

What do you suppose these open?

He gestures at the doors.

Try those?

Valdrim looks for paintings along the walls, looking at the copper plates of each keenly.

Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Awwww - I was gonna offer my wand of infernal healing with the warning "Side effects may include diabolical tendancies, feelings of tyranny and urges to grow goatees and chuckle fiendishly" but I'd recommend the free healing now.

Valdrim holds his action to the end of the round and then puts 2 more magic missiles into the last one if there is still one up.

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5

-4 charges on my wand if I am correct

Variel steps back into the room and shoots his wand again at the one he's been wailing on so far with his magic missiles.

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

Pull back to the corridor, Valdrim calls as he moves back to the corridor.

I`ll move back to the corridor then after shooting the wand

Variel shoots at the same construct (or any that is up if that one goes down) and moves back as far as he can and still see combat (or 30 ft).

Magic missile x2 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5

Knowledge arcana 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

must have been daydreaming when they covered these - Two crap rolls

Valdrim fires off two magic missiles at the closest from his wand and then moves back.

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 2 = 6

these will bypass DR. Spells are our best bet unless you have adamantium or hit like a Mack truck

waiting on dm and crapping my self. They'll have DR apart from that I have not idea for the moment

Oh Shit

Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Now that I can see these things can I get another Knowledge check? My action depends on that
