Zartan Samuel's page

Zartan looks at the spot where Abaal's blade is stopped short and waves a hand, My wounds have wounds and I feel weaker than I have since the first time I went to Sevenfinger's tomb. I'm going to the medic and bed.

With a +10 on knowledge checks Zartan will take 10 and the first box, AFTER spending the gold to clear up his assorted hindrances.

If he's going to, stay above the bridge. You never know what's lurking beneath.

disable device: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Scratch that. Flying is the way to go.

Last one, I hope

Disable Device, sickened, negative levels: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Disable Device, sickened, negative levels, fire: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Disable Device, sickened, negative levels, air: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Disable Device, sickened, negative levels, air, reroll 2 stars: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

pausing to see how blown away by the failure we are before trying the demon pillar

Zartan slumps to the ground and waves a hand weakly, Have at it. I'm spent.

no luck on chronicle boons so here we go...

disable device, sickened, negative levels, fire: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

disable device, sickened, negative levels, earth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

disable device, sickened, negative levels, demon: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

-2 from sickened?

had a feeling I was missing something. Anyone have an aid on disable device?

have to double check when I get home, but I think I'm able to take 10 on the elemental pillars, +21-6 negative levels still leaves 25 total. The main one i would still have to roll.

Flames burning Zartan stabs as quickly as he can.

1st attack, two weapon fighting, haste, sickened, negative levels: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage, Flaming: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (6) = 16

2nd attack, two weapon fighting, haste, sickened, negative levels: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
damage, Flaming: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (4) = 14

damage, Flaming: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (3) = 12

Hopefully the one was enough to drop him.

Flames burn strong as Zartan does what he can to finish off the Shaine imposter.

1st attack, two weapon fighting, haste, sickened, negative levels: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
damage, Flaming: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (4) = 11

2nd attack, two weapon fighting, haste, sickened, negative levels: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
damage, Flaming: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (6) = 15

haste attack, two weapon fighting, haste, sickened, negative levels: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
damage, Flaming: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (1) = 8

Weakened as he is only one strikes true.

reroll, two stars

Knowlege (Planes), sickened: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 2 = 11

Searing hot blades in hand Zartan joins Elby's Attack on Kreighton.

Attack, haste, sickened: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 1 - 2 = 18
damage, Flaming, sneak attack: 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 8 + (5) + (2, 3, 6) = 27

Anyone have a bag of holding? Maybe a restoration?

all on Yellow then 5 ft step back.

Channeling flame once more Zartan tries to bring orange down.

Attack, two weapon fighting, haste, sickened: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 27
damage, Flaming: 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + (3) = 17

Attack, two weapon fighting, haste, sickened: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 18

haste Attack, two weapon fighting, haste, sickened: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 19
damage, Flaming: 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 8 + (5) = 18

I can't take another hit like that

Knowlege (Religion): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Zartan pulls out a wand Elby and I still have a few wounds, but it looks like Abaal took the worst off it.

CLW wand, Elby: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW wand, Elby: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

CLW wand, Zartan: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW wand, Zartan: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW wand, Zartan: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW wand, Zartan: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW wand, Zartan: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

someone else can roll for Abaal, I have no luck

He's occupying the 0~10ft square, so you can't go behind him.

the dive under text was just for flavor. Zartan is trying to use Acrobatics to reach a spot where he can be in flanking without provoking an attack of opportunity

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

Taking advantage of the demon's avoidance of the ground Zartan dives beneath and pops up on the far side to stab with a short sword.

Attack, Flanking: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 2 = 34
damage, sneak attack: 1d6 + 8 + 3d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + (4, 3, 1) = 22

Attack, Flanking, confirm: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 2 = 27
damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Stop Abaal. Zaigan said he can deal with the orb.

Zartan spins on his heel and rushes back to Abaal trying to knock the orb out of his hands.

disarm?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Zartan moves in next to Abaal, the sludge seeming to part around his legs.

Knowlege (Planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Leukodaemons, use good not cold, electric, or fire.

Unable to reach the flying monsters he watches and waits.

Ready an attack to hit the first one to come into reach.

Judging by the shape of the cave, you think that the pool should be about thight deep, which will slow you down, and the fluidity of the goo will make it difficult to get through. 15ft movement cost per square for the black pool

does this count as magically manipulated for the purposes of Zartan's sure footed feature?

"Can you help me out breaking this stone? My vision implied it contains evil power." Zaigan pleads pointing the strange oval

We will, but first we need to be sure we are prepared for whatever horrors defend it. Is anyone still wounded from the battle? Other than me, that is.

Zartan reads a second passage, but at Zaigan's call tears himself away. Where?

Perception: 1d20 + 17 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 17 + 4 = 26

Bits and pieces. Might be from old ones or outer things. It twists the mind and the stomach to read even a little bit, but I feel like my awareness is expanded just from the snippets I read. If you have something that might, mercifully, settle my stomach I might try to read a bit more.

Wait a minute while I check things over.

Zartan steps into the room and checks for traps before attempting to read the wall. If nothing goes awry he motions the others forward.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

if it's relevant Zartan speaks Abyssal, Aklo, Aquan, Auran, Celestial, Common, Daemonic, Ignan, Infernal, Protean, Sylvan, & Terran

Fire burning bright on his swords Zartan brings blue back into flanking.

Attack, two weapon fighting, flank: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 2 = 31
damage, Flaming, sneak attack: 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + (6) + (5, 6, 2) = 33

Attack, two weapon fighting, flank: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 = 18
damage, Flaming, sneak attack: 1d6 + 4 + 1d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (2) + (6, 3, 6) = 24

Zartan strips out from between the hungry ones. Another pulse of fire runsdown his blades before he stabs at red twice more.

Attack, two weapon fighting: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
damage, Flaming: 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 8 + (4) = 15

Attack, two weapon fighting: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
damage, Flaming: 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 8 + (6) = 19

Zartan ignites his gladii and steps up to the red one.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
damage, sneak attack, Flaming: 1d6 + 8 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 8 + (5, 2, 6) = 24

Attack, confirm: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
damage, crit: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Elby, there's two back here.

"How far is it?" Abaal asks the scouts as they don't seem to be trying for a stealthy approach.

Looks like 40 to 50 feet to cross the cavern. And don't forget to look up.

Zartan takes point and starts leading the way towards the room, swords in hand. (Pink arrow)

"Who has some torches? I have the flint and steel." says Abaal producing the same.

No,I can just see. There are two exits ahead, a room to the right or more cavern to the left.

I've expended nothing that a night's rest would restore. I'll leave the decision to those who might need it.

The caverns look...

Knowlege (Engineering/Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Tell you what, just stand there while Elby deals with the pesky dogs and we won't try to go past you while she does. Feel free to ignore me during that time.

Assuming she doesn't resist Zartan will tie her up so she's unable to act while Elby and the rest deal with the Pugwampis. After which we should be free to leave without harming her.

How tightly does the curse bind you? Could you permit us to tie you up if we weren't trying to proceed?

Knowlege (Nature): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Pugwampis, if you can make yourself even a little bit lucky you'll negate their aura.

Turning to the queen...

We'll handle them

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

damage, Flaming: 1d4 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 8 + (1) = 13

Zartan signals Elby to wait before seeing to work.

After disable device: 1d4 ⇒ 1 a few seconds he signs he's ready and, after a beat, throws open the fire for the party to move in.

Whatever is back there, keep it busy. I'll have the trap taken care of in just a moment.

Zartan moves up quietly Master Explorer, take 10 on Stealth and Disable - 26 stealth

And disables the trap in...

disable device, skill unlock: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Master Explorer to disable at double speed for a total of 2 rounds

Master Explorer to take 10, +21 bonus, -5 to reduce the time from 2d4 rounds to 1d4; 26 total to disable

Since I don't see luck bonus on Zartan or Zaigan, you would need to roll your perception again and take the worse result.

Can't do much worse than 6, but...

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

Before we go throwing around teleportation spells, let's see if we can find a mundane way in. There's an awful lot of empty space here.

Zartan leads the search.

Perception, hidden doors: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23

Or both. Paladin draws fire while we dimension door in next to the archers.

I'll take a peek.

Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

So it's pay to win? I don't buy it. There must be a riddle or some other way past, because I will not accept the only way through is spending more than most people see in a lifetime.

Knowlege (Arcana), aid Ashwell: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

If you aren't authorized to negotiate, who is?

What is the toll?
