Dr Archeville Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 The OOC thread for Dok's solo adventures on Not!Athas! I'm hoping to run Dok through the first five Dark Sun adventures: [*:2hcd9mym]Freedom: Dok's caught in the city-state of Tyr (Tyre), enslaved, but aids the local revolt once the cruel Sorcerer-King is killed (mainly preventing the panicking mob from killing itself). Afterwards, Dok learns of another thing that had streaked through/fell from the sky, and heads north towards it. [*:2hcd9mym]Road to Urik: On the way towards the other fallen object, Dok runs across the army of Urik (Babylon/Uruk), which is massing to invade and take over the newly-freed Tyr. Whatever shall he do? (Dok will have his gear, but it is damaged, only working at half rank, and those ranks will be Unreliable.) [*:2hcd9mym]Arcane Shadows: Now in Urik (northeast of Tyr), Archeville becomes embroiled in a plot that may save the horrifically ravaged world, but comes into conflict with evil forces bent on stifling such hopes. (Dok's gear is repaired some, operating at half rank, but no longer Unreliable.) [*:2hcd9mym]Asticlian Gambit: Dok becomes embroiled in complex plot in the Crescent Forest between Gulg ("African Jungle," though I'm aiming to remove as many Unfortunate Implications as I can, and not invoke "Mighty Whitey") and Nibenay (Angkor/Khmer Empire). (More repairs to Dok's gear: half normal rank, othr half is Unreliable.) [*:2hcd9mym]Dragon's Crown: Dok finds the mysterious fallen object is in the hands of The Order, a bunch of Well-Intentioned Extremist Psions in the Dragon's Crown Mountains (far to the northwest of Tyr) who wish to use its power to amplify their own abilities and dominate the land. Dok stops them, but finds the fallen object is not Fulcrum, but a large shard of crystallized Terminus energy, energy identical to Mona's, which he can use to both track her and travel to her. (Dok's gear is more or less fully restored.)

Starting with 6 Hero Points: 1 base, +5 from Luck 5. So let's see how bad this crash left Dok. To keep things simple, I'll treat as as a Damage 20 effect. Toughness save, DC 35 (1d20+14=33) Better than expected! Fails by 2, so he's merely Dazed. Does his Force Field stay up? That's a Concentration check, and I'll say he was using his Enhanced INT to jury-rig the craft so he didn't die (thus no Enhanced WIS to help with the check) Concentration check, DC 16 (Enhanced Fort), 18 (Force Field), and 12 (Shield) (1d20+4=7, 1d20+4=20, 1d20+4=19) Enhanced Fort part fails, but the Force Field and Shield aspects remain up.
Dr Archeville Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 Dok starts out with his Enhanced Charisma (his default when dealing with people). Too bad this harsh world and its harsh people are not going to give him time for Diplomacy!
Dr Archeville Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 Who would imagine such an unfortunate series of events! There's ample warning of the coming nastiness, so no one is surprised.

Dok can't beat that, but we need to see how much he fails by: Dok's opposed grapple check (1d20+8=23) fails by 8, so he's bound & helpless! Assistant Templar #1 Sees Dok's belt glowing the same as his force field/'magic aura', so he steps forward and removes the Belt (Which he can do since Dok's helpless). ROUND 2 Dok (bound, helpless, 7 HP) Dok's grapple check to escape (1d20+8=16) Half-Giant Soldiers' opposed grapple/escape check (1d20+11=30) he's well and truly held And cannot plead, because they're in an Auditory Obscure field. Half-Giant #3 (no longer demoralized) Full Action: Works Dok over, i.e., delivers a coup de grace (with his fists; the pale stranger could make a useful find). No attack roll needed, treated as a crit hit, so it's a DC 23 (15 + 3 + 5) Toughness save, followed (if he's still up) by a DC 18 Fort save or be KO'd. Toughness save, DC 23 (1d20+4=10) Yeouch! Fails by 13, so Dok's KO'd! When Dok awakes, he'll find he's lost more than his Belt...
Dr Archeville Posted December 8, 2011 Author Posted December 8, 2011 Change in plans: Nede (an expy of Athas) isn't in the Terminus, it's in a separate pocket dimension (which Dok fell into from the Terminus). I changed this because the things that make Athas Athas -- an oppressive sun and fantastic races -- can't exist in the Terminus. I've changed posts accordingly, as well as the description of the setting in my Laboratory thread. While speaking with Herminard (or anyone else), Dok uses his Enhance CHA, but while working quietly, he switches to Enhanced WIS (to help the notice checks, and make himself seem less conspicuous). By the M&M RAW, working under extremely hot conditions calls for a Fort saving throw, DC 10 + 1 per previous check, or suffer 1 temporary point of CON damage. If you lose 1 point of CON, you're also Fatigued (cannot move all out or charge, -2 Str and Dex, -1 Attack and Defense), and if you've lost half or more of your CON in this manner, you're also Exhausted (move 1/2 normal speed, -6 Str and Dex, -3 Attack and Defense). Lost CON returns at the rate of 1 point per day. How often the save is made depends on how hot it is: once an hour for "uncomfortable heat" (a hot summer day), once per 10 minutes for "intense heat" (a blazing desert), once a minute for "extreme heat" (edge of a volcano). The Survival skill can help: a DC 15 check gives you a +2 on the Fort save if moving at half speed, of +4 if stationary. Dehydration follows similar rules, but it's a day between saves, so that (probably) won't be an issue. Dok's nanites give him half immunity to "effects that later his traits," which I am going to say includes excessive environmental heat. Half immunity, in this case, means he makes the saves half as often: so, if in "intense heat," a DC 10 save after 20 minutes of exposure, then every 20 minutes thereafter (with a cumulative +1 to the DC). Survival check, DC 15 (1d20+4=24) Dok'll get a +4 to his Fort saves. Technically, he has been working under Intense Heat conditions, so that'd be a save every 20 minutes. But after a full day's work -- a full 12 hour slave's day -- that's 36 saves. Heat check, DC 10 + 1 per additional save (1d20+8=13, 1d20+8=9, 1d20+8=13, 1d20+8=13, 1d20+8=14, 1d20+8=12, 1d20+8=18, 1d20+8=17, 1d20+8=14, 1d20+8=24, 1d20+8=28, 1d20+8=14, 1d20+8=13, 1d20+8=24, 1d20+8=16, 1d20+8=21, 1d20+8=9, 1d20+8=24, 1d20+8=12, 1d20+8=28, 1d20+8=11, 1d20+8=20, 1d20+8=12, 1d20+8=17, 1d20+8=19, 1d20+8=24, 1d20+8=14, 1d20+8=16, 1d20+8=15, 1d20+8=22, 1d20+8=13, 1d20+8=26, 1d20+8=27, 1d20+8=28, 1d20+8=27, 1d20+8=19) Loses his first point of CON (and becomes Fatigued) after two increments (40 minutes in), loses half his CON (5 points/failed saves) and becomes Exhausted after 13 increments (260 minutes, or 4 hrs 20 mins), and loses all his CON (10 points/failed saves) and becomes Dying after 20 increments (400 minutes, or 6 hrs 40 mins). That seems too harsh even for Dark Sun, so in the interest of letting Dok survive to the night, I'm going to treat it as "uncomfortable heat," one save per hour (per two hours due to his Immunity; 6 saves total). Heat check, DC 10 + 1 per additional save (1d20+8=13, 1d20+8=10, 1d20+8=10, 1d20+8=21, 1d20+8=15, 1d20+8=18) Two failed saves, so -2 CON (and -1 Toughness and Fort), and he's Fatigued (cannot move all out or charge, -2 Str and Dex, -1 Attack and Defense). Coming up: Dok meets more colorful characters! Also, catfights!

Standard Action: Tries to grapple Kanla again Dok's grapple check, w/ +2 from Vaerhirmana's Aid (1d20+14=33) yes! Kanla's grapple check (1d20+10=22) fails by 5+, so she's Bound/Helpless Free Action: Extra Effort to SURGE for another Standard Action. Full Action: Coup de Grace Kanla Kanla's Toughness save (DC 24), w/ -1 from 1 Bruise (1d20+3=7) Fails by 17, she's KO'd Dok's down to 5 HP, and will be Exhausted (move 1/2 normal speed, -6 Str and Dex, -3 Attack and Defense) at the start of the next round. Good thing it's late at night and he'll be getting some sleep, right? Riiight....
Dr Archeville Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 One night's rest restores 1 point of CON, so he's only down one point (and is at CON 9/-1). DC 10 CON check per hour's rest to reduce Exhausted to Fatigued, or Fatigued to Normal. Con checks, DC 10 (1d20=16, 1d20=6, 1d20=10, 1d20=8, 1d20=11, 1d20=2, 1d20=6, 1d20=13) Exhausted is reduced to Fatigued after one hour, Fatigue's reduced to nothing after three.
