Vargo Starling's page

Hey GM Chie, I am still on this one as a player. Would you mind removing me?

I hate to do this, but with all the site downtime delaying this game I don't feel confident this game is going to finish in time for me to play this character at the Con I am going to in October explicitly to play Vargo.

I have spoken to Redelia about it, she said we are early enough that I can withdraw without taking the chronicle and allow you to recruit a replacement for full credit and I would rather do that now than when we are further in and it would put you in a further lurch.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24
Fort Save: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30

Vargo gets knocked back onto his heels a bit, the charging minotaurs a bit more formidable than he had originally had expected.

He calls upon the power of his hell knight training to focus on the Green Bigotaur, before taking his weapon and trying to swing it at said Minotaur.

I think I arguably take a cover penalty from the minotaur himself as I try to strike him in the square in my reach that he also occupies?

Smite Chaos, if Evil Outsider add 10 more damage: 1d20 + 26 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 26 + 4 - 4 = 301d10 + 15 + 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 15 + (1, 4) + 10 = 38

Vicious Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Not that this is super likely to matter but if they do fail the saves against Jins aura both my attack rolls were two higher.

Vargo is feeling pretty punchy with demonic foes to tangle with and for a moment you think you hear a deep booming laugh as he brings his wicked , the pole axe shaped into wicked barbs around and he brings his adamantine blade into their blades

+3 Vicious Adamantine Bardiche Sunder, on successful sunder, roll DC 20 Reflex or Catch on fire for 4d6: 1d20 + 26 - 4 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 26 - 4 + 7 = 421d10 + 15 + 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 15 + (4, 1) + 8 = 37

+3 Vicious Adamantine Bardiche Sunder, on successful sunder, roll DC 20 Reflex or Catch on fire for 4d6: 1d20 + 26 - 4 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 26 - 4 + 6 = 401d10 + 15 + 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 15 + (5, 6) + 8 = 44

Self Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Self Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Oh my god, that Aura of Doom mixes so well with Vargo.

You may be the first divine caster he has ever gotten along with!

Vargo arches a heavy eyebrow underneath his copper red mask. Abyssal, sir. Vargo interrupts when he describes the demons as infernal. They are called Abyssal. infernal would be devils. Big difference.

He listens intently and considers the situation.

Well....Demonic Minotaurs at least sound like theyre my speed he scoffs joking. They had clearly sent for him for a reason. Unlike his last couple outings. Maybe Valsin was finally getting his act together.

Keeping an army of demons at bay is worth my talents but...what do you actually think these two's endgame is? I was there at Sundered Crag, took down Thurl once already. Thought we had seen the lat of him. I won't make that same mistake twice. Of letting him live I mean.

Vargo is a Grump who distrusts magic but he will begrudgingly accept helpful buffs.

The note finds Vargo in his very own mini-citadel, Citadel WhimJode, on the Nidal/Chelish border where the Half-Elf wages his own personal battle against the Nidalese and Chelish cults to their evil deities, as well as the witches of nearby Varisia.

The society mostly tolerates this because his crusades have given them access to some of the ruins of Nidal and the lost artifacts of pre-earthfall.

He puts on his copper red armor and his skull-like helmet, attaches his wicked looking polearm and gets onto his flying broom, a keepsake from his late Irriseni witch wife, who he only married so he could have her properly tried for witchcraft.

He knew Thurl. Thurl had been there on the occasion of his very first mission as a Pathfinder, when Diamond City was beseiged by demons, the very event that spurred him towards joining the Hellknight. It would only be fitting for Thurl to be ended on his blade after all of that.

As he approaches the rest of the party. My name is Commander Vargo Starling, Venture Captain of the WhimJode Lodge/Citadel. It is my pleasure to serve you in the destruction of these implacable foes, especially Thurl who has personally caused the demise of so many of our number. I lead from the front and specialize in dealing death to Demonkind.

He looks the Oracle up and down I will praise no god no matter what magic you claim they grant you, no matter how beneficial. If that is not a problem then you and I should get along swimmingly

Vargo is really simple.

He has two freebie 800 gold items from the Dark Archives which I can retrieve after the briefing.

Unless it sounds like this is going to be a multiple day adventure i typically use those on a Snapleaf and a Potion of Displacement.

Yeah its a strictly between battles deal.

I only need mending because I am not dealing hp damage to my own armor, I am just inflicting it with the 'broken' condition which mending fixes.

Finally realized there was a link to the thread in the spreadsheet!

This looks like a really solid party - DEFINITELY a fan of a bunch of Oracles being around while I am swinging around a vicious weapon. Vargo here is a DPS, but obviously not as efficient as a high end archer. His main things in combat are sundering and Demoralizing, though I think my Smites may come in handy too based on the adventure description. He's also immune to fire so feel free to drop your delayed blast fireballs just RIGHT on top of me.

I may actually get my bonus damage from my challenge for once too, these are exciting times.

If someone here has the mending orison/cantrip or the ability to pick up mending or would allow me to spend the money getting them a level 0 page of spell knowledge learning mending I would appreciate it!

I have an ability that requires me to break my armor but a mending from a caster this high level gets me back to functional between fights

..

Vargo is simply woefully out of date - I'll get on updating him soon.

Vargo walks away from Jamilia, not really caring about the circumstances. Justice had been done here and that was all he really cared about. He mounted his black mare and rode off into the sunset, off in search of some other injustice that needs corrected.

Great Adventure Everyone!

Vargo steps forward once more to try and finish the man "Good night traitor"

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 251d10 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Vargo coldly, satisfiedly looks at the pair of raiders he dropped As if I needed further confirmation that Chelaxian Hellknight training was superior to the training of Taldane 'knights' - and I use that term loosely. Now die, traitor!"

Vargo lets loose his deadly weapon once more, sending a wide sweeping blow at Gaspar.

Power Attack, Plus Flank(Erevan) and Advice: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 121d10 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

However, announcing his attack seems to have been an error...

Vargo has yet to achieve his dayjob but hopes one day that he will gain the ability to have one via Prestige Awards.

Vargo moved AFTER attempting to hit Purple. He was within proper range prior to any movement.

Vargo looks disgusted as the soldiers begin to surround he and and the group and reaches his pole-arm over to the approaching hobgoblin and slices down on him, hard.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

He then takes a short step toward the hobgoblin, to get a better reach with his weapon.

133118-4 is Vargo's number

Vargo runs forward, drawing his glaive wordlessly, fury overtaking him.

Vargo, still clad in his armor

1d20 ⇒ 17

Hears the cries for help Look lively, we have more foul spoilers afoot.

Vargo, noticing that no one in this group is particularly suited for stealth will turn the corner and assess this argument.

This symbol is the symbol of Sir Gaspar - we saw it earlier on his saddle and clothing! This cache belonged to him at one point - and recentlty!

knowledge: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Vargo will look at the paper and look confused... Sir gaspar? Why would he...Pashket what could this mean?

If I need to be in the square next to her to hit her due to her height feel free to move me

Vargo actually felt a jolt of glee as he moves over with his polearm to attack the offending Harpy. This was exactly the sort of thing he had trained for with the Hellknights and he was getting to put his practice into execution.

He brought his glaive into an upward swing and tried to drive it hard into the monster.

Glaive Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d10 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Vargo will set his Polearm against a charge.

Vargo rears back and slams his glaive down into the harpy with a powerful blow

Power Attack with a flank: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Just try to speed it up and I think we'll be fine

We should double our watches up tonight. Someone has committed a heinous murder. We must be vigilant to see no one else be killed

Sorry a planned quick trip to a family function quickly turned into a full weekend!

Vargo immediately approaches the man, draws his giant glaive and stands guard over his body

Nobody gets near this body until our doctors can inspect his body and gather clues.

Vargo has no hint of joke or hesitation. He has declared this an official crime scene.

When did he leave us - was he lost during the storm?

Vargo runs down the raider trying to get away with a camel, trying to salvage the group's resources. positioning himself in such away as to have another shot at him should he try to escape.

Give that back, you worthless thief

Power Attacking Charge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 261d10 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

roll to confirm

Power Attacking Charge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 132d10 + 14 ⇒ (4, 8) + 14 = 26

Why don't you have Kaye hit the archer and I'll have Vargo hit the other one

Vargo nods emotionlessly at the praise lavished upon him All in a Day's work, master merchant and rush to the other side of the entourage and slash into the other scimitar wielding raider (or the archer instead as necessary).

Glaive Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Yeah I would imagine that camel that Vargo was riding has the body

Vargo advances north to help protect the dignitaries and thrusts his glaive at one of the raiders.

It is among the many duties of a knight to protect your social superiors

Glaive Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Ah yes, I am still level 1 woops. Too bad to this is the PERFECT situation for it.

Vargo will dismount his increasingly stupidly hard to control mount and draw his glaive.

as a note, I plan to remain mounted, so it would be nice if I were given control of my camel

and for convenience here is the rule for demoralize:

The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target’s Hit Dice + the target’s Wisdom modifier.

Success: If you are successful, the target is shaken for one round. This duration increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat the DC. You can only threaten an opponent this way if it is within 30 feet and can clearly see and hear you. Using demoralize on the same creature only extends the duration; it does not create a stronger fear condition.

Vargo will shift in his camel's seat and use his Glaive from atop the Camel using his skill at riding to guide it with his knees the lowest I can roll is a 6 and its DC 5 so I do this automatically

He produces his weapon and allows his voice to boom authoritatively, in a tone that his companions have not heard from the usually taciturn knight. "Attention Raiders, you are all under arrest by order of the hellknights...If you drop your weapons now no harm will come to you but if you resist arrest, I will not stop until you are all disabled...this is your only warning"

dazzling display to demoralize all raiders within 30 feet of vargo which is all of them except for the archer: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

survival and perception in that order: 1d20 ⇒ 31d20 ⇒ 11

Vargo trudges along, realizing he is amazingly less affected by the heat than anyone else despite taking no precautions and wearing armor.

He politely pretends to enjoy the coffee before inconspicuously dumping it out. Cloves in coffee? Disgusting.

Now he began riding hard in the sandstorm Damnable camels, wish I had my steed, Scourge

Vargo nods to Mahmoud Indeed I have - some terrible business with guarding some busybodies on a boat where I got a chance to prove my mettle. Here I am again guarding businessmen. I guess that's something pathfinders do a lot. I wish I had brought my own infernal horse. These camels feel weird.

fort save vs heat: 1d20 - 4 + 4 ⇒ (15) - 4 + 4 = 15

Vargo stubbornly sticks with his armor the next day, regardless of consequences.

Have you ever ridden before, Hush? I have been in the saddle since I was an infant, it would be my pleasure to take the body. Vargo says stoicly.

Vargo shows no hint of how overheated his armorset makes him and bears his pain like the budding knight he is.

I can't make that check

It was indeed a grisly business Ma'Huuk....but it was necessary. We were in the right, and that Ben-Haari is obviously the servant of Chaos and needed to be dealt with.

Vargo will then turn to the main group and nod his assent, silently to what was said by Jaraca. His presence doing the talking for the most part

Take 10 to aid

It was indeed a grisly business Ma'Huuk....but it was necessary. We were in the right, and that Ben-Haari is obviously the servant of Chaos and needed to be dealt with.

Vargo yawns.

Do what you will, just about course of action is just at this point. Let's just get this hero home

Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Vargo will pipe up his voice the same uncaring monotone that it was before. That man did not want us here. That much was obvious. He was up to something and refused to let us see the body to confirm its identity. I am certain when Kaye examines the body she will find proof of his scheme but for now I have no regrets - the laws are with us.

Vargo shrugs heartlessly at Daoud They broke the sacred peace of this funeral gathering and for that they deserved death. If you wish to join them, that is a wish I can fulfill but you are no oathbreaker and I do not wish to do so.

Vargo listens carefully to Kaye That may be so... we will just need to be up front about our actions. People understand reason.

Vargo closes on Ben-Garri and decides to rear back for a heavy slash now that he has a clean shot

Power Attack Glaive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d10 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

He connects hard with his sweeping blade and cuts into the Masked man as he flees.

confirmation roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

critical damage, if necessary: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (4, 8) + 8 = 20
