Valgrim Twin-Axe's page

Nice to see the old gang stopping by and great recap! EPIC campaign and so happy to finish it and I want to thank to everyone who was involved, players and GMs alike.

With his fury-driven swings, Valgrim strikes at the demi-god's essence, until Kyuss is no more! He looks back and is overjoyed when Bubba gives him the signal that Friar is still alive. He smiles as the demons teleport away and he drops out of rage and collapses to his knees, fatigued with his face covered in tears, sweat, blood, and grime. When the monolith melts away, Valgrim flies out of the way, grabbing any party members who cannot fly, as the party watches from afar their destruction.

Later, when the party liberates the citizens from Alie's mansions and the party is overwhelmed by the cheers, Valgrim smiles in appreciation but leaves it Bubba and Friar to say the appropriate things. He was always one for action and not words. After the cheers die down and the party rests, Valgrim discusses helping to rebuild the city as well as returning to Dragotha's lair for the rest of the treasure, now that the dracolich has been destroyed forever, before any new threats can move in.

Epilogue:

After joining the party on that last venture and splitting up the enormous treasure and selling any unnecessary magic items, which could literally take months to accomplish, Valgrim eventually leaves Alhaster, saying goodbye to his companions if they have other plans, and buys himself a fancy cottage in Magepoint as his retirement home when he can no longer travel freely due to old age. For now, he looks forward to any future adventures (extraplanar most likely) that Manzorian can tempt him with and continues to travel throughout Greyhawk to keep himself entertained, learning about new cultures and meeting new people. He is a ranger after all, so his home is the road.

Hell yeah!! Guys, that was awesome and I appreciate all the Death Wards and other help...-11 penalties to hit and saves would have been harsh! So grateful for all the buffs!

Reflex save vs. Engulf: 1d1d20 + 22 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 22 + 12 = 39 vs. DC 39...just made it!

Round 11:
Since a minute has passed, Valgrim's Power attack penalties return so he attacks without power attack. He continues swinging with all of his strength at Kyuss, determined to end the threat!
Attack: 1d20 + 53 ⇒ (19) + 53 = 72...hit
Attack: 1d20 + 53 ⇒ (7) + 53 = 60...hit

With the penalties from his negative levels momentarily suppressed, Valgrim raises a fist at Alie and full-attacks Kyuss!
1d20 + 53 ⇒ (7) + 53 = 60
1d20 + 53 ⇒ (12) + 53 = 65
1d20 + 48 ⇒ (7) + 48 = 55

Rage rounds used: 7

Reflex save: 1d20 + 22 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 22 + 12 = 42
Made it...but this guy just won't die! Will wait to see what party does before I full-attack.

Heck yes, Valgrim uses Bracelet bead to negate AoO critical - 2 beads left.
Thanks, Bub, for the dispel! Saved my bacon!
Reflex save: 1d20 + 22 + 2 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 22 + 2 + 4 + 6 = 53
Fort save: 1d20 + 34 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 34 + 4 + 6 = 53

I'm going to take to mean that vulnerable means close to death so time to throw the kitchen sink at Kyuss!
Full-attack vs. 60 AC:
Attack: 1d20 + 53 ⇒ (5) + 53 = 58, add last HP for extra +2...hit

Valgrim dives to the side and evades the damage from the worms.
Reflex save: 1d20 + 22 + 2 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 22 + 2 + 4 + 6 = 53

Round 9:
Valgrim feels no fear at the demi-god's re-emergence. He looks at the blood on the blade of his axe and screams at Kyuss, "As many times as it takes to bring you down and rid the world of your taint....I'm here all day!"
Valgrim spends the MP he did not use last round to sudden charge Kyuss (provoking AoO) and full-attacks Kyuss!
Sudden Charge: 1d20 + 55 ⇒ (10) + 55 = 65
Full-attack
Attack: 1d20 + 53 ⇒ (17) + 53 = 70
Attack: 1d20 + 53 ⇒ (17) + 53 = 70

Hero Points: 1
MP: 1
Rages rounds used: 5

Valgrim barely dodges the demi-god's embrace of death and tries to inflict as much pain as possible on Kyuss!
Hasted attack: 1d20 + 52 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 52 + 1 + 2 = 65 - hit
Attack: 1d20 + 52 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 52 + 1 + 2 = 73 - hit
Attack: 1d20 + 47 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 47 + 1 + 2 = 68 - hit
Attack: 1d20 + 42 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 42 + 1 + 2 = 55...add 3 Hero Points +6 - hit
Attack: 1d20 + 37 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 37 + 1 + 2 = 42 - miss
4 hits for 20d6 + 204 ⇒ (4, 6, 3, 4, 2, 5, 3, 2, 5, 2, 6, 1, 4, 2, 2, 5, 1, 4, 4, 4) + 204 = 273 damage
Use a Mythic Point for an extra attack:
Vital Strike: 1d20 + 52 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 52 + 1 + 2 = 68...hit
Damage: 8d6 + 51 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 2, 3, 3, 1, 4) + 51 = 70
Total damage: 343!
Hero Points: 1
MP: 1
Rages rounds used: 4

Alie, use your Wish on Bubba to have Kyuss reroll the possible threat (19). I'm so dumb, I have 5 Hero Points. Valgrim uses one of them to add +2 to save and makes a 39 Reflex save! #boom. I'm not dead yet.

Valgrim's Reflex save vs. Engulf: 1d20 + 26 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 26 + 6 = 35...will use Auspicious Mark rage power to add 1d6 ⇒ 2 for a grand total of 37 and still fail...13 Intelligence drain even with 3 less from ring is 10 Intelligence and Valgrim dies from Intelligence drain and most likely emerges as an undead next round....

Completely missed the buff, Bub. Go ahead and take the action back. I just really don't want the baddie to rinse and repeat the Time Stop and heal cycle.

I read something about Alie summoning a flanking buddy, so will post along those lines.
"Thank you for the healing, Friar! Time to go all out! Ready actions to disrupt his spellcasting! He's gonna be hurt after this!"
Valgrim rages as a free action and full-attacks.
Hasted attack: 1d20 + 52 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 52 + 1 + 2 = 74..hit
Attack: 1d20 + 52 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 52 + 1 + 2 = 74..hit
Attack: 1d20 + 47 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 47 + 1 + 2 = 69..hit
Attack: 1d20 + 42 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 42 + 1 + 2 = 56..miss
Attack: 1d20 + 37 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 37 + 1 + 2 = 43..miss
Damage for three hits: 3d6+2d6+51 per hit so 15d6 + 153 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 5, 3, 4, 2, 1, 6, 4, 2, 4, 4, 6, 1) + 153 = 212
Valgrim then spends a Mythic Point for an extra standard action and Vital Strikes Kyuss!
Attack: 1d20 + 52 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 52 + 1 + 2 = 61..hit
Damage: 8d6 + 51 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 2, 1, 3, 5, 6) + 51 = 80
Total damage this round: 292
AC: 45
MP: 2/7
Rage: 11/14 rage rounds remaining

"Bastard healed himself!"
Damn, I have been a fool. I have a +2 aberration bane vorpal greataxe - which is an epic weapon as it is over +5 - I may never cut his head off but I will do additional 2d6 damage and it is +4 vs. aberrations. Dumb of me.
Free action to drop Falchion
Move action to draw large greataxe
Standard action to Vital Strike
Base: +20BA+9Str+4weapon+4IC+4GH+8FE+2BoF-1Size+1prayer
Attack: 1d20 + 50 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 50 + 1 = 71...hit
Damage: 6d6 + 2d6 + 48 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 2, 2, 1) + (2, 6) + 48 = 72
MP: 3/7
AC: 47

Will save: 1d20 + 16 + 4 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 16 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 41

Valgrim steps 5' closer and full-attacks Kyuss.
1d20 + 50 ⇒ (9) + 50 = 59
1d20 + 50 ⇒ (2) + 50 = 52
1d20 + 45 ⇒ (11) + 45 = 56
1d20 + 40 ⇒ (2) + 40 = 42
1d20 + 35 ⇒ (4) + 35 = 39
OMG....those rolls were awful! I missed all of them.

AoO from Kyuss' move: 1d20 + 50 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 50 - 2 = 59...miss

Alie, how about a persistent delayed blast fireball? That's a DC 31 Reflex save right when you metamagic it? He could fail that having to roll twice if you penetrate SR. It's better than targeting his ridiculous 52 touch AC. You could even cast Time Stop first and then cast 2-3 to go off at the same time!

Valgrim smiles at Alie, "Good job girl!" He then smiles at the giant 50' beast, "Guess you haven't heard of me, Barabog, but you made two mistakes. One was answering that calling...and the second was coming within my reach!"
Full attack (if any attack drops the beast, divert rest of attacks to Kyuss. I will subtract 6 from attack and damage since it is not undead, but add them back if directed at Kyuss. Also, I am adding 1d6 fire from flaming weapon - if resistant, subtract:
Hasted attack: 1d20 + 44 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 44 - 2 = 48
Damage: 2d6 + 41 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 41 + (1) = 49
Normal 1st attack: 1d20 + 44 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 44 - 2 = 50
Damage: 2d6 + 41 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 41 + (5) = 54
2nd attack: 1d20 + 39 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 39 - 2 = 40...probably misses
3rd attack: 1d20 + 34 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 34 - 2 = 41...probably misses
4th attack: 1d20 + 29 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 29 - 2 = 47...threat
Confirmation: 1d20 + 29 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 29 - 2 = 35...no
Damage: 2d6 + 41 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 41 + (6) = 59
Total damage: 49+54+59= 162 (12 fire) with epic weapon
AC: 47
MP: 2/7
HPs: down 62 (10 from negative levels)

Alie, can you blast ugly there with multiple disintegrate spells? Maye you have better luck with it! But cast defensively so as to avoid AoO. You auto-make check.

My turn:
This bastard is trying to drain me and make saves with -7 or more penalties. Have to take him out!

Full-attack again with Bubba's B.I.!
1st attack: 1d20 + 50 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 50 - 2 = 51 or 1d20 + 50 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 50 - 2 = 66...hit
2nd attack: 1d20 + 50 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 50 - 2 = 68...BI ends..hit
3rd attack:1d20 + 45 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 45 - 2 = 47...miss
4th attack: 1d20 + 40 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 40 - 2 = 55...miss
5th attack: 1d20 + 35 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 35 - 2 = 53...hit
3 attacks hit again!
Damage: 6d6 + 141 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 5, 1, 2) + 141 = 159
AC: 47
MP: 2/7
HPs: down 62 (10 from negative levels)

Guess I pissed him off...lol!

Reflex save vs. Engulf attack: 1d20 + 26 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 26 + 6 = 44
Valgrim again, bless Bub's bonuses, evades the god's attempt to swallow him in his corpse of green worms! He then slashes at Kyuss' corpse with his epic blade, hurting the essence of the being! "Die, Kyuss, die!"

My turn:
1st attack: 1d20 + 50 ⇒ (19) + 50 = 69
2nd attack: 1d20 + 50 ⇒ (11) + 50 = 61
3rd attack: 1d20 + 45 ⇒ (18) + 45 = 63
4th attack: 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (7) + 40 = 47
5th attack: 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (19) + 35 = 54
3 attacks hit again
Damage: 6d6 + 141 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1) + 141 = 154
AC: 47
MP: 2/7
HPs: down 52

Wow...this guy is tough! Can't go out like that!
Reflex save vs. Engulf with Bubba's +6 mythic bonus vs. DC 39: 1d20 + 26 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 26 + 6 = 42...yes! No damage due to evasion!
Fortitude save with Bubba's bonus and racial spell bonus vs. DC 38: 1d20 + 33 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 33 + 6 + 4 = 48

Valgrim grimaces when the blade cuts him, but as he sees the cloaked god of worms lunge at him, Valgrim dives to the side, thanks to the bard's helpful advice! When he hears the bone-chilling scream, Valgrim steels himself and resists the god's death magic! "That the best you got?! Both of your so-called Heralds were tougher than that...before I buried my blade in their skeletal eyes! Bub, thanks for the advice, but get out of here...that Engulf will eat you alive!"

My turn:
As a swift action, Valgrim casts Instant Enemy, which does not provoke AoO, now classifying Kyuss as an undead foe for the next 16 minutes!
With his innate hatred for undead building and the energy from the Rod, the enlarged Valgrim full-attacks Kyuss with Scorched Fury!
From Blessing of Fervor, Valgrim takes +2 bonus to hit and +2 AC and Reflex saves. He also uses a Mythic Point to remove the Power Attack penalties for 1 minute.
Bonuses to hit:
+20 base
+8 Str
-1 size
+4 morale (GH)
+5 enhancement
+4 IC
+8 favored enemy
+2 BoF
+20 Rod
+70 hit/+70/+65/+60/+55 (+50/+50/+45/+40/+35)
Bonuses to damage:
+12 Str
+5 Weapon
+4 IC
+8 Favored enemy
+18 power attack
+47 damage
Now, if Kyuss has 60 AC and Valgrim can no longer miss on natural 1s and cannot critical then his first four attacks each round are automatically going to hit, so will only roll last attack.
1d20 + 55 ⇒ (8) + 55 = 63...hit
So all 5 attacks hit and Kyuss takes: 10d6 + 235 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 4, 2, 4, 1) + 235 = 266 damage.
I think the Rod's +20 to hit is unbalancing this final fight and robbing it of its suspense and nerves, so will post without it but with Brilliant Inspiration.
1st attack: 1d20 + 50 ⇒ (13) + 50 = 63 or 1d20 + 50 ⇒ (8) + 50 = 58 - hits
2nd attack: 1d20 + 50 ⇒ (20) + 50 = 70 hits, Brilliant Inspiration ends
3rd attack: 1d20 + 45 ⇒ (8) + 45 = 53 miss
4th attack: 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (20) + 40 = 60 hits
5th attack: 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (5) + 35 = 40 miss
3 attacks hit for total damage: 6d6 + 141 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 1, 2, 2) + 141 = 157
AC: 47
MP: 2/7
Saves: +33/+26/+20

Will save: 1d20 + 16 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 16 + 4 + 2 = 39...not smart to proceed without Death Ward. :(

Initiative: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Epic weapon...sweet!
Alie, can you spare an Enlarge Person?
If so....

Valgrim adjusts to his large size, sheathes his blade, and grips the Efreeti's sword, admiring its amazing craftsmanship.

"I shall call you "Scorched Fury"." With that, Valgrim is ready for the battle with Kyuss!

Ya, Darl is dead! Revenge tour continues!
Most likely, Kyuss will have Epic/DR and not be undead, so Valgrim's +2 weapon is not enough and he is looking to Bubba to see if he can identify the efreeti's sword to see if it qualifies, since the monk used his fists and the devil's spiked chain won't help. Other than that, Valgrim will position himself adjacent to where the green light is bathing the roof so he can full-attack when it is time.

"Gots to take you down quick, Darl, before Kyuss appears!"
Valgrim will sudden charge the cleric, still under the effects of Bubba's Brilliant inspiration:
Attack: 1d20 + 20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 62...threat

Damage: 2d6 + 2d6 + 33 ⇒ (4, 1) + (4, 5) + 33 = 47
2nd attack: 1d20 + 27 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 27 + 4 = 43

5th attack: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 4 = 19
1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 4 = 34
Threat #1: 1d20 + 43 ⇒ (1) + 43 = 44
If confirmed, damage = 4d6 + 2d6 + 66 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 1) + (4, 4) + 66 = 93
Threat #2: 1d20 + 27 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 27 + 4 = 33
No confirmed, damage = 2d6 + 2d6 + 33 ⇒ (1, 3) + (4, 4) + 33 = 45
Threat #3: 1d20 + 22 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 22 + 4 = 46
Damage:4d6 + 2d6 + 66 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 6) + (6, 4) + 66 = 95
Assuming AC 35 or higher, total damage: 93+45+47+45+95=325!
MP: 2/7

Will wait to see if Bubba greater dispels the Vecna priest first before attacking...

Fort save: 1d20 + 31 + 4 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 31 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 60...takes 80 damage. Ouch!

With Bub attacking the fiend, Valgrim uses a mythic point to fleet charge the tiefling monk threatening Friar!
Attack: 1d20 + 20 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 62 or
1d20 + 41 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 41 + 2 = 57...threat (bypasses DR)
Full-attack:
1d20 + 36 ⇒ (16) + 36 = 52 or 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (8) + 36 = 44...threat
1d20 + 31 ⇒ (14) + 31 = 45 or 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (15) + 31 = 46...threat

Damage: 2d6 + 2d6 + 39 ⇒ (5, 6) + (3, 3) + 39 = 56
IF AC is at least 40, then 252 damage.
MP: 3/7

I have Mythic Iron Will so don't know if Darl is mythic (will assume he is):
Will save: 1d20 + 20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 4 - 1 = 33..I think I get a bonus from Bubba but I don't know if it stacks.
"You're going to have do better than that, Darl. Vecna must be quite disappointed in you." Valgrim smiles at the cleric.

Valgrim will spring attack the Horned Devil, using Dazing Assault:Attack: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (9) + 38 = 47
Damage: 2d4 + 2d6 + 39 ⇒ (1, 4) + (6, 3) + 39 = 53
DC 30 Fort save or be Dazed
He will then ask Bubba for Brilliant inspiration

As he surveys the battle, Valgrim screams out instructions, "Alie, I need you to disintegrate that shark...now! Even if you have to take a bite to do so! And the devil too, if you kill the shark!" Valgrim will wait to see what the sorceress and the bard do before acting.

EDIT: Alie, you will take AoO even if you move. It won't be a Greater Vital Strike either since it can't do that on AoO. Just better to stay and take one and cast 2 spells, regular and quickened! My 2 cents. Never mind....your plan works too...lol.

Happy we killed the efreeti, but that undead shark again...I really hate Darl....I got bit by the shark last time!
Fort saves, only fails on a "1":
4d20 ⇒ (13, 7, 7, 4) = 31....no Strength damage.
Bad to not have Death Ward against this cleric.

Assuming Bubba hastes and inspires as usual...

Valgrim grips his falchion and smiles, "Let's do this! Time to kill your wish-grantor first!" Valgrim uses a mythic point to fleet charge the efreeti (90' speed flying):
Fleet charge: 1d20 + 20 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 2 = 55...threat
Full attack:

Valgrim's fists clench when he sees Darl and his band...guess the revenge tour continues! "No, Darl, that is not happening! We are not going to allow you to steal the power of an evil god. It is time for you to leave or face our wrath!"

Alie,you going to roll or defer to our cleric?

Fair enough...1d20 ⇒ 4...not complaining if our cleric gets more hps.

I can't carry the ring of wishes as I have enough rings on. I really think we should use a couple of wishes to boost either my Strength (I am only front line fighter left), Friar's wisdom, or Bubba's Cha. Alie's Int cannot benefit as she read a tome, which grants inherent bonuses. Or we can keep 5 wishes in reserve.

Sweet damage, Bubba!

Valgrim full-attacks the Broodfiend, trying to keep it Dazed:

Valgrim opens his eyes when he feels Maralee's skeletal parts explode over him. He sees Alie down and Exousia missing. "Screw this bastard!"

C'mon people, let's be smart - this fight is tough and we already lost one player.

Seeing the Broodfiend wounded, Valgrim goes for the kill - if he kills it, apply remaining attacks to most wounded Kyuss Knights around him. He follows suit and shuts his eyes using Blindfight.

Apologies for delay...

Knowing the strength of the Broodfiends, Valgrim considers them the stronger threat and decides to ignore Maralee for now. As a swift action, he uses a Mythic point to charge Broodfiend #1 and strike at it, bypassing DR on his strike.

The next morning, after he sobers up from the Heroes' Feast, Valgrim toasts his companions properly, "Whatever happens today, it was an honor to have adventured with all of you." He keeps it short and sweet and sits to finish the rest of his meal. Afterwards, he checks his armor and gear (wielding falchion, vorpal greataxe strapped on back, speed ghost dagger in boot) and he's ready to go, cast buffs, and teleport to Tower.

Valgrim asks the archmage for the finest dwarven spirit he has access to prior to dinner and then during dinner, he stands and toasts his friends and addresses Tenser/Manzorian after his speech: "You may see this as our last supper before the apocalypse, Archmage and I understand your point of view, but you have not lived or seen the battles I have with these friends here present for the past years, ever since our foray into the Whispering Cairn. We have faced death and undeath at every turn and survived, thanks to the skills of my friends. So I know this with the greatest of certainty, that we will survive tomorrow, and we will prevail. So save your whores and whatever other earthly pleasures you offer, no disrespect intended, because this is what is going to happen. Tonight I am going to drink and drink of these fine dwarven spirits until I pass out and you're all free to join me. Then tomorrow, Friar's feast will cure me of any hangover and we will go do battle with the remainder of Kyuss' forces, including Maralee who we have yet to see, and then deal with a god. And after we defeat it, however we manage to do it, and stave off the Age of Worms, we are going to bask in the praise of the city. Then after the celebrations die down, I am going to take my share of the immense Dragotha hoard and I am going to find myself a fine dwarven lass and I am going to make a litter of babies and go retire as a dwarven king in some mountain range. That's how my story ends...dying of old age surrounded by my family and friends. So, tomorrow is not the end of all days. It is the beginning of my retirement. We will make it so! Now drink up, my friends! Our deeds tomorrow will echo on for eternity!!"

Foolish is the party who does not follow its cleric's advice, so we return to Tenser's abode to spend the possibly last night of our lives and prepare for the Armageddon!

If everyone is going to wait, Valgrim full-attacks again with Exousia flanking this time!
