Kulan: Knightfall's Heroes of Carnell Game [OOC]

[Scotley]

Sense motive: 1D20+1 = [16]+1 = 17

 

[Knightfall]

ScottDeWar,Jr: D20 + 2 → 19(17 + 2) (Quinn: fail)

Hmm, you know what, I think Quinn should have a +2 circumstance bonus to his roll due to him holding Cruel Justice. That makes your roll a 21, so Quinn succeeds.

I'm also going to post a vision from the blade to Quinn in the IC thread.

 

[JustinCase]

Any of the PCs can make a Sense Motive roll (DC 20). If you beat the roll, read the spoiler. Caerth gets a +2 circumstance bonus to the roll.

Spoiler: DC 20 Sense Motive (Hunch) Check

Any PC that makes the roll can sense that the tiny quasit doesn't really want to eat the owl. He is just wild desperate to save his master, no, his friend. The little demon is acting in a caring manner that is quite unusual for a demon. It is a bizarre thing to watch and hear, even from a distance.

Spoiler: For JustinCase Only!

If Caerth makes the DC, he can see that the tiny quasit is fear stricken at the thought of Galzadar dying, and the wizard's face is desperate as well but not for his own life. He is looking towards his familiar with a wry smile on his face, like a loving caretaker or fatherly figure. The two have a strong and strange connection that that goes beyond wizard and familiar.

Caerth senses that Galzadar would sacrifice his own life for his familiar's without a second thought.

Sense motive: 1D20+3 = [16]+3 = 19

Plus the +2 bonus means I succeed. [emoji2]

Now the question becomes, what do you want to do?

Will Caerth still try to fly the wizard up and drop him or does he want to consider a less lethal solution to defeating Galzadar?

The half-orc druid knows what Kang wants him to do. Caerth can feel the adamantine dagger's anger, rage, and desire for vengeance for Syndra's death.

But, something feels off to Caerth...

Spoiler: For JustinCase Only!

The elf wizard isn't struggling as hard against Caerth as he would think a foe would do. The elf's initial anger towards Caerth has seemed to have passed, but he still seems intent on trying to harm Caerth and the others. But, Caerth has this sense that the the elf's will is not his own.

 

[Knightfall]

Time for breakfast!

 

[JustinCase]

Hmm. I am seriously looking at my options.

I really want to talk to Galzadar, perhaps persuade him to stop fighting against us or even join our side. However, in my current dire bat form I can’t speak, nor do I have a spell prepared that would help communications. Neither the elf nor the quasit count as animals, so that doesn’t help either.

So how would dropping out of Wild Shape (a standard action) affect the grapple?

You'd have to have Caerth make a successful opposed grapple check, but as himself, not the dire bat, to keep ahold of the elf wizard, as he wild shapes out of dire bat form. Since Galzadar isn't struggling as hard vs. Caerth on your turn, I'm going to say he has a -2 morale penalty to his opposed grapple check.

If he wins, however, he breaks free from the grapple.

Rolling ahead of time...
Galzadar the Fallen - Opposed Grapple Check (-2 morale penalty): 1D20+4-2 = [11]+4-2 = 13

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

We're talking? What happened? Is the Elf being controlled somehow? If so, talking might not be enough. We're probably talking Dispel Magic or Remove Curse. Just my two cents.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

By the way, I haven't read the spoilers, but when the DM offers "less lethal solutions," ya know something is up

Or simple protection from whatever spell which blocks mind control
