Zaighar's page

Thank you GM J!

Zaighar moves to keep the lion within his reach and stabs at the beast.

◆ Stride
◆ Strike vs. Keff: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
◆ Strike vs. Keff: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 5 = 19
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

AC 21

Zaighar turns and rushes toward the talking lion as the other cat falls. He thrusts his spear and raises his shield.

◆◆ Sudden Charge
Strike vs. Keff: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 vs. flanked target
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
◆ Raise a Shield

AC 23

Zaighar grumbles and hustles back to stab at the smaller lion.

◆ Stride
◆ Strike: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
◆ Strike: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 5 = 17
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Raise Shield if the first strike manages to down Red.

Zaighar raises his shield and charges into the cave.

◆ Raise a Shield
◆◆ Sudden Charge
If there is a perceptible enemy within reach (10 ft):
Strike: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Zaighar follows the others while they track, having no skill in hunting game. However, once they reach the cave, he moves to the front to lead them into the dark.

Zaighar looks down at the goblins disdainfully. "I was not asking you runts."

"Are any of you who can see in the dark good at tracking? Otherwise we will need to wait until dawn," Zaighar asks. He reluctantly adds, "I have no practice in tracking."

For Blue to be where it is presently located, it would have triggered Zaighar's Reactive Strike (above): 18 to hit, 5 piercing damage.

Zaighar moves into the funnel to stab at the lion from the other side. "Let the one lead us back to their lair but kill the other!" he barks.

◆ Stride
◆ Strike: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 vs. off-guard
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
◆ Raise a Shield

AC 23

For reference

Clarence: in Remaster, you can swap one weapon for another for 1 action. Not that dropping a javelin is the worst thing, but FYI.

Zaighar growls as he emerges from the funnel. He stabs at the injured cat while positioned to guard the exits.

◆ Stride
◆ Strike: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
◆ Strike: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 5 = 23
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Zaighar draws up rough blueprints for the fencing.

Zaighar plants his pike in the ground. "Then let us build fences. We should create a false entrance--a path with little resistance--to lure them to where we want to fight them."

"Miracle?" the hobgoblin scoffs.

"To the victor gies the spoils," Zaighar says and searches the bandits for anything useful.

Zaighar moves to pin the apparent bandit leader between himself and Lendaru while shouting, "Put out that fire!"

He then stabs repeatedly at the bandit to bring him down.

◆ Stride
◆ Strike: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 vs. flanked target
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
◆ Strike: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 5 = 21 vs. flanked target
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

(FYI: Talu's spoilered reaction animated Red as a new thrall. I put it on the map.)

The hellknight advances toward the man encouraging the others. "Are you the boss?" he shouts as he thrusts his spear toward the (black) bandit. He raises his shield.

◆ Stride

◆ Strike: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Hero Point: ◆ Strike: Breaching Pike (E), Vestments: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 = 15
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

◆ Raise a Shield

AC 23

Zaighar raises his shield and advances upon the approaching foes. He thrusts his light pike toward the leading bandit.

◆ Raise a Shield
◆ Stride
◆ Strike @ Red: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Zaighar next collects several head-sized rocks and tries to impress the goblins with how far he can throw them. "You keep whining about how we're going to die, and I'll toss you to safety," he grumbles.

Athletics (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

FYI: Athletics is the only skill on the list that Zaighar is trained in. I'll wait to see if others also only have Athletics trained or give me the OK to eat another use of Athletics.

In order to demonstrate to the goblins that they are safe in his hands, one night, Zaighar catches a few of them in his hands and tries to deadlift them over his head. "You dare doubt these arms can protect you runts?" he challenges any spectating goblins.

Athletics (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

What are you rolling with that, diplomacy, intimidate? The DM forgot to write it in the plot, but we are suppose to roll a series of skill checks here. We can flex our muscles, encourage them, etc.

I wasn't rolling; I was roleing. I'll patiently wait for our GM to prompt us.

Zaighar looms over the goblin driver. "You think I can't protect you, runt?" He growls and then sniffs in disdain. "I'll show all you runts. You'll be so well protected that you wish I'd let you die."

Zaighar growls from within his menacing hood. "I will do my duty to the Pathfinder Society as commanded," the hobgoblin says with more than a hint of reluctance. "Society should be secured wherever it is planted."

He stands at attention in what must be an oven of a suit of hellknight plate while he waits for the directions to the caravan.

Zaighar is the alias I use for TDM Hobgoblin Hellknight.

2 glyphs.

I have the Rugged Mentor boon, which, if the player chooses to make use of it, increases the benefit from the Level Bump on Saving Throws from 1 to 2. A character can only use 2 mentor effects during an adventure.

Thank you, Frost! Thanks everyone. That went smooth--except for the typhoon. :)

Keeping his shield raised, Zaighar pulls his pike loose from over his shoulder and thrusts it at the remaining flaming skull.

◆ Raise a Shield
◆ Interact
◆ Strike: Breaching Pike (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Piercing, Razing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

AC 23

"Appreciated," the hellknight says as the kholo witch soothes his burns. He whirls the iron ball over his head and flings it at a flaming skull. He uses the momentum to wrap the chain around his shoulder and slide his shield into place.

◆ Strike: +1 Meteor Hammer (E): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 (all are within reach, unclear which remain un-alive)
Bludgeoning, Magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
◆ Swap
◆ Raise a Shield

AC 23

For what it's worth, Zaighar has Fire Resist 1, so his HP total should be 14 at the moment. :)

Zaighar snorts as the flaming beheaded spits fire at him. The hellknight whirls the heavy metal ball on the end of a steel chain over his head and then whips it around in rapid succession.

◆ Strike vs. Severed: +1 Meteor Hammer (E): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
Bludgeoning, Magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

◆ Strike vs. Flaming: +1 Meteor Hammer (E): 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 12 - 5 = 14 +1 if the previous missed
Bludgeoning, Magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

◆ Strike vs. Burning: +1 Meteor Hammer (E): 1d20 + 12 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 10 = 5 +1 if the previous missed
Bludgeoning, Magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Zaighar takes three measured steps back from Pennypockets.

Zaighar emerges from searching a room with a metal lockbox in his hand. He holds the box toward Pennypockets. "Open this."

"Divide the work. I will search over here," Zaighar says.

He finds an open book. The hobgoblin grunts as he views the passage. He lifts the cover in order to flip the pages, and a loud crack followed by a clang and a thunk echoes in the shrine. Zaighar looks over his shoulder at the scuff on his plate. He then goes back to flipping through the pages.

”Insufficient context,” Zaighar grunts. ”This may have been intended as defense in preparations against the demon horde.”

"That is clearly not the deed," the hobgoblin says. "Let us press on."

"Wait," Zaighar says and gestures to those marching behind him. He points out the dangers to the others. "Bats roost inside. Simple enough to drive them away by breaking open the shutters and windows. But there are at least six ankle biters built into the floor boards. Will need to be careful or cover them."

After he explains to the others, he approaches to rip a window out of the dilapidated wall.

Athletcs (E) vs. DC 18: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

"Yes," Zaighar answers the gnoll. He shifts the weight of the armaments hanging over his shoulders.

"Even a village so close to the Worldwound should have had a watch," Zaighar says considering. "That should have given at least some a chance to flee. And if so many demons had broken through the crusaders, why did they stop at Bulviss? Do you have some suspicion that rankles you?"

Put a token on the slides.

Looks like we've enough Glyphs for everyone to start with 2 Hero Points.

”Zaighar,” the hobgoblin shelled within heavy, spiked, imposing armor answers. ”Yes. we are.”

He watches Castor intently while waiting for the rest of the Pathfinders to quiet down.

Two glyphs here

This is TDM Hobgoblin Hellknight. I suffer from name indecision. :)

"Blowing up a ship seems extreme in order to cook an omelet," Zaighar quips.

"And I note that there are no mushrooms present," Zaighar grumbles and then searches the thieves. "Has anyone found anything to explain the theft beside greed?"

"Hmph. Nobody left to question," Zaighar growls. "Time to search for the museum's crates. See if we can find any clues about what this was about. Seems elaborate for a mere heist."

It can be fairly random, but I agree.

"This is the price thieves pay," the hobgoblin growls. "Surrender!"

Zaighar swings his anchored chain at the (black octogon) ruffian as he advances. Grimacing as the hatchet catches him in the hip, he whips the steel ball into the air again and toward the same foe.

+1 Meteor Hammer (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29 vs. flanked target
Bludgeoning, Magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

...depending on whether between the existing damage, the AOO, and that probable crit it is flattened, he either:

He swings again and then roars at the closest ruffian.

OR

He moves around the table (white arrow) with surprising speed for someone encased in so much steel to bring his chain hammer down toward the other (black circle) ruffian.

+1 Meteor Hammer (E): 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (10) + 11 - 5 = 16 vs. flanked target (either one)
Bludgeoning, Magic: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

If Octogon survives beyond the first strike: ◆ Strike, ◆ Strike, ◆ Demoralize
If Octogon falls after first strike: ◆ Strike, ◆◆ Sudden Charge

Conditional Demoralize if needed:
Intimidation (E), Intimidating Prowess: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 = 28

Can someone bot Melokuhle please? I have no idea how to play a summoner...

Working on it.
