Venedictos's page

Sounds like a group who could really use a bard. I would be honoured to modify Venedictos here to your creation requirements.

Venedictos is a portly Shelynite monk (monk in RW terms, as he is modelled after a Franciscan friar) from Galt who tried and failed to bring beauty to his homeland. Disillusioned, he set out to aimlessly wander the world in search of a good (or cheap) bottle of wine to drown in. All he really needs is a bit of success and self-confidence.

He doesn't fit the mold of a typical Shelyn cleric: he isn't anything great to look at, with his wide paunch and wildly routed hairline revealing a massive purple birthmark on his forehead in the shape of a peacock. But his singing voice is sublime, and his spirit (when not crushed by failure and booze) is just as beautiful.

He started with a level of cleric, but will take bard from here on out.

It would be nice to have a random chronicle to attach to one of my PFS characters. But no worries either way.

I'm afraid I've been looking to reduce my PBP load for awhile now, so haven't been taking on any new games (except a few PFS scenarios, cause they're short).

Thanks for finishing off the game, though.

"Without knowing what caused it in the first place..." he replies, trailing off into thought.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

"Grieve not too deeply, my dear. Your brother lives. He's very...concerned about you, too," he adds dryly.

Venedictos comes to tend to the young woman.

Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Continuing with his inspiring song, Venedictos approaches Faunra and lays a healing hand on her, closing some of her wounds.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Venedictos adds some of the divine to his inspiring song as his voice echoes beautifully throughout the resonant stone chamber. While aiding his allies, his song also harms the undead.

Channel Energy to harm: 1d6 ⇒ 3 Will save DC 14 for half

Free action to maintain bardic performance.

Venedictos will start inspire courage this round.

7/8 remaining

Venedictos suppresses his urge to rush to the young woman's aid, and looks about the room for signs of danger.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Venedictos also drinks, and sighs as the water washes away hurts and fatigue.

Venedictos swallows hard as the electricity flashes through the room. Seeing them all still on their feet, but hurt, he steps gingerly into the room and starts channeling.

Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 3

"There's such a thing as being too dead," Venedictos rebuts.

"Do we really need to go in there?" Venedictos asks. "Clearly the girl isn't in there, but trouble of some kind is."

Know Engineering: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

"Me neither, but it probably can't hurt to try it."

Venedictos, seeing that things are mostly in hand, stops his song and lets his friends finish off the skeletons with their own considerable skill.

Venedictos moves forward and gives Brayken a bit of luck.

Brayken can roll all d20s twice this round and take the better result.

Venedictos starts another rousing chant of courage inspiring.

+1 to attack, damage, and saves vs fear

Venedictos moves in somewhere along the 4 rank, levels his glaive at the frog, and blasts it with lightning.

Touch attack: 1d20 ⇒ 11
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

With his singing stopped, the bonuses fade. Perhaps someday he'll learn how to manipulate the song to keep ringing through the air after he stops.

On his turn, Venedictos will start using his music to inspire the others.

+1 to attack and damage

Venedictos puts his weight behind the efforts.

Strength: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19

He might pop a hernea, but that gate better move!

Know Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9, though this seems more an Arcana problem

Venedictos can cast bless at the moment, as well as channel healing energy. Does he think either of those might work?

Venedictos moves to insert his girth within the door frame, blocking it off. "This looks like fear magic," he says.

Unfortunately, inspire courage doesn't work after the fact.

"What- Quinn? What's wrong? Where are you going?"

"Their clothes look like those on the corpse by the lake," Venedictos says.

Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

"Which I guess makes sense, since these bodies are only a few months old. That's disgusting!"

Venedictos double moves up the hallway to F2, continuing to sing.

Venedictos begins to sing a beautiful, flowing plain chant melody, which fills the dusty catacombs and the hearts of the living.

+1 to attack, damage, and saves vs fear (bardic performance 1 round used)

How do we do hit points? Average + 1, or roll?

Venedictos is happy to avoid the frogs for now.

Venedictos takes out a potion of CLW and carefully feeds it to the unconscious man.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Quinn should have been at full after Vene's previous channel of 6 points, but if not, this brings both he and Sammuel to full.

As Samuel's eyes open, he sees a fat balding man smiling down at him. The last echoes of a beautifully sung note fade away as consciousness returns.

Assuming the skeleton in their midst didn't survive standing, Veneductos barrels through the narrow corridor and channels energy to heal.

Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 6

That'll do nicely.

No, I just didn't realize it was that far away. I guess just the one skeleton takes the hit.

Venedictos sings, bringing beauty and light into this dark place. Waves of sound and energy spread out, catching both skeletons.

Channel Energy to harm undead: 1d6 ⇒ 5 DC 14 for half damage

That's what he does on his turn, then. +1 to attack and saves vs fear

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Grrr...the thing is, casting bless is what he'd normally do when facing so many foes. He has it prepared twice! Maybe somebody else can make that check.

So, after the shock and grief over Nadab wears off...

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

"All clear!" Venedictos declares.

I avoid it when possible, since I mostly access from my phone and can't get on that.

But whatever the majority would like. I can deal.

"We're sure that that thing is completely inactive, not just resetting?"

I think it heals at 1 per hour. Do we want to wait out the rest, or burn more channels?

Venedictos channels again.

Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 6

With everybody out of the room, Venedictos channels energy to soothe the bruises.

Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 3

"No!" Venedictos cries out as the door slams shut. He frantically tries to find a way of opening it again.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Venedictos is quite happy to let the experts deal with things, though if he does need to enter the room, he'll use total defense as well.

Venedictos follows Nadab, also keeping an eye out.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Venedictos smiles warmly to the reinforcements, and smiles more when Roldare retreats to his closet.

As they get going, Venedictos reminds everybody that there were some locked doors that they had been unable to bypass, and they have yet to try with the magic key.

Hi.

After trying the key in these two doors, without success, Venedictos says, "I think it would be prudent to return back through the crypt and try the other doors we weren't able to open, before we continue on."

I'm here! I had made a post this morning, and now I see the boards ate it! Grrrr....

Well, Nadab has a positive modifier, and if the DC is just 10, he should be able to handle it.

Or a really good swimmer could go down, grab ALL the keys, bring them up and we'll toss the non-magical ones back in...

...unless that triggers the trap of ultimate world annihilation.
