Re: AvB - Marqhu
Just after you arrive at the building across the street, you see a human of average build, slightly taller than average with sandy brown hair, beady brown eyes, and a nose broken a few too many times to set right whose clothes are perfectly tailored and made of exotic fabrics being led by a boy of about 9 with black hair and green eyes and simple peasant clothes which are in good repair and only slightly dirty. You notice they are walking down the street quite purposefully towards the yellow building.
SpoilerSeriously, the timing just happened to work out that way. It wasn't arbitrary at all.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AvB - Marqhu
The kid walks up to the front door, knocks twice, waits 5 seconds, knocks twice again, then immediately opens the door and enters. The man follows him inside.

Re: AvB - Marqhu
When you walk through the door, you see a well kept but old house. You are standing in an entry hall. An door to the right opens to a simple seating area, while a door to the left opens to what appears to be a small dining area. There is another door on the right further down the hall and a door at the very end of the hall. You can see no doors in either of the two side rooms.

Stairwell going both up and down. It seems dark in both directions.
SpoilerWe're going to have to stop here for a bit, because the other player you're stalking has only gotten this far, so unless you want to attack him here on the stairwell, you'll have to wait until I can advance him a bit.Quod tibi vis fieri, facias.Spoiler: Links to my content threadsAldhaven - May 27, 2010 and ongoing.

Re: AvB - Marqhu
I take use expansion to go up 1 size category to large(standard action), then cast grip of iron modified to 5pp to gain +8 to my grapple (immediate action, used on my turn for my swift action). I remove the mask from the lower half of my face to reveal the tentacle which writhe out menacingly (move action) i then take a 5' step back into the hall (free action). "Do not move, shape-shifter! I have come to seek vengeance on behalf of the widow whose husband you killed so you can steal his jewels!" (fee action)
i have 15' reach and will take the AoO against the child should he provoke one.
ac is now 23, touch is 10, and flat-footed is 22. tentacle (my attack of choice) each have an attack bonus of +7 and deal 1d6+6 as well as acitvating the improved grab that illithid grapple gives me on each of them. grapple modifier is currently +22. I have 36 hp. In addition, if i deal grapple damage, i also deal 1d8 points of lethal piercing damage as well, from the armor spikes.
would it be possible for me to take a -20 to my grapple to do so with just 1 tentacle and not be treated like i am being grappled? as per the rules entry on several grapple-centric big monster where they state it like it is a rules option and not a special ability, but i cannot recall if it has been explicitly stated as such.Last edited by planswalker; 2010-07-02 at 10:13 PM.

Re: AvB - Marqhu
Note that you're in a 5ft wide hallway, so you're squeezing, giving you a -4 to attack rolls and AC.

Re: AvB - Marqhu
crud. thought the hallways were 10'. may i change that to animal affinity (strength) for my standard action and move 5' forward to into the room instead of 5' back out? i misunderstood the hallway dimensions.
if so, then that changes the relevant stats in the following ways: ac is 25, touch is 12, ff is 24. grapple is +19, attacks are at +9 and deal 1d4+7. that'd be 10' reach then.Much thanks to Ceika for the poketar!

Re: AvB - Marqhu
Just go with the expansion. You'll be fine if you move into the area with the stairwells. I've already posted the action in his thread...

Re: AvB - Marqhu
ah well. the animal affinity will cone next turn then. as well as the pc getting grappled right here an now if he chooses to approach or leave. now all my luck would be great if he is a melee with a significantly lower grapple.

Honestly, I don't remember what his character is or can do at the moment. I'd have to pull up his sheet. I guess we'll just both be surprised, huh?

Re: AvB - Marqhu
yep. i hope you are giving him sufficiently menacing descriptions of my actions. I mean for this guy to seem like a monster more than a pc. one with no level adjustment or racial hit dice.next level he'll learn to eat brains and might just decide to go sylar on everyone he can. he might wait up on that though.

His cover blown, the thug reverts to his normal form; a pale, thin elf with silver hair and lavender eyes.
"I am guilty of only one part of the crime of which you speak. I killed the man in cold blood, but I took his jewels as retribution for his slight against me. I would happily return them to avoid such harsh words."

Re: AvB - Marqhu
"Oh, it's you, not the boy? well then. The widow doesn't want the money, she wants your head on a spike or a silver platter. She didn't specify which. The money isn't the issue here, it's the death. You die now."
I manifest animal affinity for +4 strength then readies a move action to follow the guy if he tries to run and my AoO doesn't start a grapple. he should be 15' away and i have 15' reach.
attack is at +5 and damage is now 1d6+8 (including the attack penalty for squeezing)
grapple is now a +24. should be real nasty if i can start one, dealing grapple damage +1d8, and pinning the guy to wail on him with my tentacles.Much thanks to Ceika for the poketar!

Re: AvB - Marqhu
since he now realizes that the kid isn't the mark, he ignores him.
marqhu isn't great at diplomacy, but his cunning mind has developed a plan.
"Someone you talked with was easy to scare into talking. You could indeed be useful. What are your capabilities, anyways? Can you assume non-humanoid forms?"
I walk over to him, ending up on his left.
not dropping out of combat, not even finishing my turn, just trying to keep him from taking his AoO as i get into position.
i mean to give him a chance to respond as i walk over next to him. Once i get there, i will attack with a tentacle, cutting him off mid-word if i can.
regardless of whether or not he falls for it, i will move and then attack with a tentacle, for (1d20+9)[13] and damage of (1d6+8)[10] starting a grapple if i hit for (1d20+24)[36]
