>>50153Don't attacks against incorporeal creatures have a 50% chance of missing?
>>50160He meant one more AoO, not three in total
>>50160Tracy's base attack bonus is 12, and she has a +4 dex modifier.
>>50162Did you give her the weapons finesse feat? I recall you declined to say she had it when selecting her feats
>>50163It was the first thing she trained for on the holodeck
>>50164There hasn't been enough time to do all of this adventuring and rear animals and craft dozens of daggers and train for and complete an entire feat
>>50161No, I meant 3 in total. Wraiths don't have miss chance
>>50166The first one, yes
[3d20 = 25]
The first DW is not in the best of shape, another one is unharmed, and a third has taken a hit.
Their turn, 2 attacking Trump
>>50168Uh... if those are touch attack based, well, his AC should be 22 (ring +3, Bracers are force based +5, ring shield is force based +4), and they should have a -1 on attacks from the spell (prayer), so the first attack should not land
[2d8 = 5]
One hits Trump, and one hits Tracy.
Trump takes 1 point of Constitution drain, Tracy takes 4.
>>50169Incorporeal touch attacks pass through armor and force effects.
It's all dex now...
>>50171Shit..
Can she roll a saving throw?
>>50173Nope its "additional damage"
Hmmmm. Tracy's constitution isn't so great now that I look at it.
>>50174What triggers the drain with the charisma-based save then?
>>50176Oh, there is a saving throw isn't there? Okay, its a dc25 +cha save
Stupid question, isn't there soeetime of online dnd program? Maybe we could use it for maps and shit?
GM, what did Snek hear?
>>50177Do you apply your fortitude bonus for charisma-based saves?
>>50178*sigh*
He already made a map, and marked where the people are on it
>>50179The "Charisma based" is from the perspective of the monster. you know, if you want to level it up, or make it a cohort, or a player character or whatever, the way to increase the DC for that attack is to increase the charisma of the monster
>>50180Yes I know, but a prgram would be easier than editing pics.
[1d20+13 = 18]>>50177Rolling Fortitude save.
[1d20+21 = 40]
Rolling for fortitude save
I wish Tracy's Charisma were higher..
>>50185Dice roll of 19 plus paladin's base of 10 plus 1 constitution modifier +5 divine grace charisma bonus +4 cloak of resistance resistance bonus +1 stone of good luck. I forgot to add the +1 bonus from the Prayer.
Trumpaladin is not fast. He cannot deal Infernius levels of damage. He cannot sneak or hide. He cannot cast ebin spells. But he can do one thing very well, and that is, get hit by the enemy without taking damage.
>>50186I offered repeatedly to give her a +4 resistance cloak, but it was impossible to convince you that 4 is a larger number than 2
>>50178He doesn't know what he heard, but he did heard a thing. Bunches of thing.
>>50179Its a Fortitude save, which normally gets a constitution modifier, but it gets a charisma modifier now cuz reasons
Strike that last part, I misread it
>>50187I'd already had her make a cloak of charisma
>>50190If the only thing you care about is saving throws, a Cloak of resistance is twice as effective per unit of cost than a cloak of charisma
>>50191Yeah, but a lot of her skills that I put ranks into are Charisma-based checks, like Bluff, Use Magick Device, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Handle Animal, Disguise, ect. And I'd already made the cloak.
>>50189Is it our turn yet?
>>50193Yes. The remaining wraiths fill in behind the big ones.
>>50187>>50188You add constitution to fortitude?
Yes, I am aware I know absolutely nothingTorc (not knowing where the hell anyone else is) decides to drag Snek with him towards where he last heard Infernius
>>50194Infernius attempts to kick the trap-door in, and learns that even a ridiculous strength bonus doesn't defeat 6" of reinforced metal (the trap door is metal)
>>50195No, go down the stairs to see what it is first! We've got the wraiths covered
Yes, you add the constitution bonus. In Torcuil's case, that's +1
>>50197Okay then, I go with my original stupid plan. Torc heads down the stairs dragging a wary Snek along.
>>50194Tracy casts Eagle's Splendor on herself, and takes a step back in a defensive posture.
>>50197>NEET has more Conreee>>50197Smite.
>>50199Is her chain still Defending?
>>50199Haha. I take it Tracy has 10-11 con?
>>50201Its more like 8 now
[5d20 = 48]
"I came here to Smite Evil and to steal waifus. And I can see you're all out of waifus."
Trumpaladin slashes at the wraiths with Featherfall and 3 smite evils. Please note that with the impressive charisma modifier on smite evil from eagles splendor, even the third smite attack gives a combined attack bonus of +26
Smite Smite Smite Slash Slash
>>50204What's featherfall?
>>50202>neet has better constitution>snek has more wisdom
>>50205Vanderiem has a unique ability allowing him to make an additional attack in a round three times a day. It's like haste's additional attack, except that the additional attack is at the attack bonus of the last and weakest attack, and not the first and strongest
>>50204>eagles splendorWait, did you cast that earlier? I won't use it on Tracy if it's in effect.
>>50209No, he cast prayer.
I gtg for an hour or so, see you guys then
>>50204Oh yeah. Because Prayer, attack and damage rolls get +1
[1d20 = 11]>>50204Tracy makes an Opportunist strike with her sword, in case any of the big wraiths didn't fall yet.
>>50204They're AC25, so I think the 2 missed
>>50213>Sword>Not the Chain with 60ft reach>The sword with 5ft reachShe took her last move action to move out of the line of attack, so they are out of range
>>50214Yes
Trump will have gotten a cleave strike also, I;m just determining which hit the first one died on. I'm assuming that's the plan, kill the wounded one and then go to the next?
>>50216Precisely. Smite damage is +17, prayer adds +1 to each damage roll, and the strength bonus is like 7.5 to each attack, plus Vanderiem's +7
>>50215I was waiting to hear if the chain was Defending or not, but sure,m attack with that instead if she's not in range.
>>50215K. DW1 fell on second smite, roll for that cleave on the new one, and that one takes a smite and a strike.
[1d20 = 12]>>50218Oh
>>50219Rolling. Can a cleave be his fourth smite? If so, then smite, If not, then Slash. Combined attack should be high enough to beat AC with anything higher than like a 2 or something
>>50220Can Tracy make her Opportunist strike on this one?
>>50221Probably. I very sincerely doubt that the three strikes Trumpaladin lands on it (probably the undamaged wraith) will be enough to fell it. But wait for GM
>>50220No smite on cleave
>>50221yes
>>50222Nope its still alive
[1d20 = 18]>>50223Opportunist strike.
>>50224Noice
Trump's move is complete, Tracy?
[3d20 = 26]>>50225Did the big wraith fall yet?
If not, Tracy attacks it from he back, with her chain.
>>50225Does Torc find anything (up/down)stairs?
>>50225I thought she had initiative and spent her action moving back out of line of fire and casting eagle's splendor? Should be wraith's turn
>>50226The first one did.
>>50227I'm getting to that. This is a deciding point as far as how extensive I want to make this place. The staircase was originally designed to be long and to connect to several floors. In all reality, it will take months to go through entirely. I'm thinking of making it just go to the "main" level though, for simplicity.
>>50229Thats fine, I can wait
[2d20 = 31]>>50228You're right, its the DW's turn, while 2 normal wraiths fill in where the one DW fell. One each, Trump first
>>50233.. This makes me want to use one of those goats..
>>50234Oh yeah, does Torc have that goat statue?
[1d20+24 = 30][1d20+24 = 34]>>50232Uh. Rolling for Fortitude save. Also Tracy should be out of line for attack, so both should be on Trumpaladin
"Thank Elway we have those buffing spells. And that wraiths only do a small amount of normal damage"
[1d6 = 4]>>50236Trump succeeds on his Fortitude save, but the DW landed a crit, which results in him being blinded for X rounds by dust, dirt, or general wraith-ness
>>50239Feels like watching Jeff Corwin with spitting cobras
[3d20 = 42]>>50241So adorable.
>>50242Full Attack on the big wraith, with her chain.
Hold on now, the DW that attacked Tracy also hit. She needs to roll a saving throw also
>>50245Yep, strange as fuck
[1d20+14 = 28]>>50246I thought she was a whole square behind Trumpaladin and out of range?
>>50236Rolling anyway.
[1d100 = 82]>>50248Pass. They're tenacious.
K. Tracy hits, and then crits her opponent.
That does quad damage. Tracy gets a cleave on the last DW
[1d20+13 = 16]>>50249Trumpaladin moves back and casts Remove Blindness on self. Rolling concentration check
[1d20 = 13]>>50250Sorry, I had to step out.
Cleaving with sword.
>>50255How close is the last DW to falling?
>>50256Minimal damage. It and the regular wraiths are attacking.
>>50265Kill the last dread wraith, and all the rest can be either instakilled with a turn, or we can cut them down more easily
>>50259The last DW hits Tracy, roll a saving throw. The normal wraiths are almost comically unable to hit either Tracy or Trump.
[1d20+14 = 27]>>50260Rolling a save
>>50261Pass. Tracy is at about 80% health, and no additional con drain
>>50262Is it her turn now?
[7d20 = 73]
>forgot about improved multi-weapon fighting
Full round attack with Sword: -2 penalty
Additional attack with each claw:-2 penalty
Then two extra attacks with either claw: -5 penalty
Wait, subtract two attacks from that...
>didn't invest in QuickDraw fear that would allow the sword to be drawn as a free action
That's also not quite how multi weapon fighting works. It's -4 or at least -2 on every attack, and I think that penalty might swallow up the third attack with the main weapon
>>50265I'm regretting taking the improved feat...
>>50268Can Trumpaladin selectively target the smaller wraiths in a turn check?
>>50271Pretty sure you just turn, and the big ones just aren't effected.
>>50270Good, that 19 in particular was solid
>>50271Turning is an area affect centered on the caster
[4d20 = 49]>>50274I'm'a go full round attack on Dread Wraith and hope to cleave.
[4d20 = 41]>>50275Yeah, that'll do it for the last one. The smaller ones aren't a concern unless they get 20s
*cough Tracy's Turn cough*
>>50277Itd be more simple to call it for the wraiths and say "Trump and Tracy curb-stomp the remainder"
[4d20 = 41]>>50278Slashing!
>>50278To Fae:
>"If you're over your kikkinocephalusphobia, then please use your scent and tracking ability, and track down that mage. Just look for the scent of a humanoid, and subtract my scent and Torcuil's scent, which you should be familiar with. It's only been like what, two minutes tops? So the scent should be fresh"
Back, sorry.
So, did Trumpaladin finish them off with a turn or what?
>>50279Pls restore Con drain.
>>50278After the ghosts are gone, Tracy shakes herself off and investigates the chamber.
>>50283The doors seem to be operated from somewhere else.
[1d20+21 = 36]>>50284What about the cells? Is there anything of interest in there? Objects or mechanisms.
Search check, to search the halls for anything of interest.
>>50284Are the doors at the very end of the hallway also closed?
>>50282He's only got two level 4 spells though, and Deathward (and break enchantment) are so useful. Are you sure you wouldn't rather wait for Infernius?
"If only we had a Rogue here. She could do a Decipher Script check on the runes" Trumpaladin says to no one in particular
Hey niggers,sorry im late had to till.
>>50287"Infernius! Infernius! Hey, we killed the wraiths, but these doors won't open. Could you go down that hallway to your left. At the very end of it, I think there's a set of levers that may operate this door system"
>>50286*rubs against leg*
"Those spooks were freezing coldwhen they touched.."
>>50288He's chasing the mage though.
>>50287Don't let him get away.
>>50288"Sure brad me help."
>>50290reeeecatch the mage
>>50290>>50289"After me catch this guy"
>>50285Tracy takes dreadwraith stuffs
>>50286Yes, all the cell doors are closed, and the mechanism is entirely elsewhere.
>>50289I would bet money that Torcuil is closest to the mage. Infernius is right at the door and was trying to break it. I'm sending Fae to track him to know where he went. Also, for all we know, he went to those levers and used them to trap us
>>50292"You don't know where the guy is, but I do know where I saw levers. Now go to the levers"
*wraps self in ebin theoretical ghost cloth*
I have to leave for a ~20
[1d20+6 = 8]>>50289*sigh*
"Boop"
Trumpaladin touches his index finger to Tracy's nose, and casts Restoration
>>50293See
>>50280rolling survival search check
>>50295>Ebin"Those look like shit"
>>50297It's imaginary cloth.
[1d20+6 = 8]>>50299*pets pony*
>>50301Why you spoiler? Pretty picture though
>>50302
Why do you not want to decipher script on the runes?
>>50304GM said the runes were unidentifiable.
Also, I can't remember how many ranks I put in that atm...
Can the wood on the doors be burned?
>>50302
Tracy is shocked, as though by an electric fence, when attempting to phase through the walls that have been warded.
>>50305No, that was a Knowledge Arcana check, not Decipher Script
>>50307"Dumbass"
>>50309
Is she gonna try again?
>>50308I'm not gonna point out Torc has 18 ranks in both checks.
Nope not at all, instead Torc and Snek are using the stairs when GM decides how he wants to play the stairs
Infernuis chases down the magi
>>50314He's at a trap door that's seemingly too heavy to move:
>>50196
>>50311
Yes, that goes for the floors as well. Tracy puts the fork in the socket a second time
>>50314"GO TO THE FUCKING LEVERS! You don't know where the mage went, he left line of sight a minute ago, and we couldn't hear him over the banshees. We're trapped in here"
>>50310Command Fae to go down the hallway towards the levers
\r
>>50316Can she try to set the wood on fire?
>>50317I was behind him the whole time
>>50319He should be beneath the trap door.
>>50313
How the fuck would a sorcerer not get arcana knowledge?
>>50321I meant to delet that.
Sorcerers do get arcana knowledge.
>>50310"Fae get mage"
*goes to pull lever*
>>50312Torc ain't Trapped in this room
>>50317*static crackles*
"It looks like we're alone for now, Flashy.."
>>50325*Stares through bars of doors waiting for Fae to respond*
>>50322Let me rephrase my question
"Why the fuck do sorcerors not get decipher script?"
Good thing mystic theurge is a thing
>>50327Don't be shocked if the mage is at the levers
As Trump and Tracy continue to examine the room, it is evident that there are a variety of tubes and chutes that lead to the middle of the hallway.
>>50319Nah, forget about the mage, he got away.
>>50323Fae follows the mage toward the "entrance"
>>50328That's a thing for wizards.
I know theurges get it, but can we put more ranks in than our class lvl+3?
>>50332Idk, I thought decipher was a sorceror skill too...
Fuck
>>50331And now I am curious. What is Fae doing and reporting back?
>>50332Class level +3 if it's a class skill for every single class you have
>>50333Sorcerers on'y have 6 skills.
>>50331Are they big enough to fit through?
>>50334No sign yet, but this is the only other direction it coul've gone
>>50336what?
>>50337Shush
>>50338I'll take that as a no..
How big are the tubes?
[1d20 = 17]>>50338Keep 'er after him. Spot and listen check
>>50338Its lagging muh phone.
>>50339Some are tennis ball sized, others are hose sized, and a few are straw sized
>tfw you thought you were smol earlier, but you're really medium.
Do they appear to come from / lead to anywhere?
Tracy looks into one of the larger tubes, to see what's in it.
Ah fuck, it feels good to be back at my PC>>50335REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>50343Nothing immediate. It disappears into the framework of the environment.
[1d20 = 5]>>50342Walk down to the end of the hall, and strength check those doors
>>50344Nice
>>50343She ain't tennis ball sized. Now careful, before one starts pouring toxic gas in
>>50345"I wonder what these tubes are for.." Tracy wonders to herself out loud
As Infernius arrives at and inspects the Lever in question, he sees that it is attached to a large box that is attached to the wall.
>>50350Just the one, apparently.
Torc and Snek continue walking the endless staircase
>>50351So, what does Fae see as she follows the path?
>>50355She emerges to see the militant factions (gestapo, generals, cannons n such) looking at her expectantly.
>>50356Well, at least they are all still in Port Barry. Send her back down
>>50357And now u shush, Infernius is the consequential detail.
Assuming Infernius has arrived at the switch (I'm talking more of his faggot than him), does he throw it?
[1d20 = 16]>>50358Perception check
*Sits down*
*Pretends to light cigarette*
>>50359There's hinges on the box
>>50363I carefully open it
*Waits to see what happens*
*Tries to write in Journal, but a pony appears to be in the way*
