Axcayacatl's page

I am interested. I am all for low magic. That is the way we play in my face to face group.
I will be proposing a simple human ranger. Not a very complicated guy. Mostly a straight talker who grew up in the mountains and is in town to buy supplies. He did live in town as a child but being quite useless at school, was sent to live with his uncle "to make something of him".

Rolling:
4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 5) = 16dropping lowest = 14
4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 3) = 17dropping lowest = 14
4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4, 5) = 17dropping lowest = 15
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 4) = 21dropping lowest = 17
4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 5) = 14dropping lowest = 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 3) = 18dropping lowest = 15

Wow!

Submitting Pe Ron Ohoy, a Ranger
Pe is the child of a Mwangi tribeswoman, named Balita, and Pe Rosi, a former slave wild elf. As a child he was sold to the Free Captains of the Shackles. Pe became a fast learner and participated in many land attacks with his masters where he learned ranger abilities.
He bought his freedom and wants a new start and perhaps, revenge on his mother´s tribe for having sold him as a slave.

It needs a little tweaking for your campaign, but Would you consider the following

Tanks Jacob. Bye

I would go for RoftRL

" that's good Fionn, ... Aaron, what are your thoughts?"

How do I add the map to the tavern map?
" Hi there." Ax says to Gimlet, " I see you are looking for a group to go back into the wilderness. I am game. I'll go sit over there and eat something hearty and have some ale."

Ax Walks back into the tavern and sees Aaron already there and walks to him. "hi there. " , he says, "Not my lucky week. I thought I had better training than what was evident from the way I almost got ditched by the Kobolds. Are we supposed to deliver our
Mapping to someone in particular? " a. Takes his pack off his shoulders and drops it next to his stool.

"It might be methane or other gas produced by decomposing bodies"Ax tells the group. "There does not seem to be anything more of interest. I´ll makes some notes for the map." Ax takes out his pen and paper and makes a quick sketch of the gully and its two rooms, and adds to all "Let´s get going, we are running out of food and need to walk back to town".

"That is a strong acid down there. This stench and the acid make me think there is something malevolent going on here. Amarandlon, while you checked the lab, Did you find any writing?, a book?, anything of that sort?" Ax rubs his temples as he ponders what could be at play. Ax takes a close look at the splotches on the wall of the humid, snd now stinking, room. Perception check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Ax looks into one of the holes to try to determine their use. Preception check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13. Then he shouts up to Aaron [bb]"Be careful while you pull that thing up, remember I am down here."[/bb] Ax starts to climb back up and out.

Ax puts his bow away and approaches the door opening. He ties his rope to the wall, and once secure climbs down a few feet and searches carefully, withou going any further.
Perception roll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 ? Ax senses something ... " hey, Aaron, there is something ..." .

And... Of course, Ax vomits all his repast on the floor. "I am sorry guys, this is awfull. "

Ax stays back and takes out his bow and prepares an arrow. It might be good to be ready in case something alive is in there.
Fort save 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
" I am back here giving cover" , he says to the others.

" Aaron, would your creature be willing to take a look down the spiral stairs?"

As Axcayacatl moves across the bridge and into the room que looks carefully around. Perception check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 . Ax will await GMs veredict re the check Ax sheaths his Shortsword.

Ax stands up and follows Jack up the stairs and picks up his own pack. As he walks down, he looks carefully at crevices and objects in general. Perception check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9. Ax does not see anything of interest. He continues down and joins the queue crossing the bridge. Will check:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14. Feeling the bridge stable, Ax continues across, and calls over to Jack, "Come on Jack, there does not seem to be anything of interest over there."Looking forward to Aaron, Ax sighs and thinks he perceives an over satisfied gait in the guy. "Well..." he tells himself "there is always one of those...

Jack is right. I did not realize the injury I received from the first dagger thrown at me as I entered the room, and, also, wasn't aware of the time needed for the heal skill to work. Given the GM graciousness, I recover 2 of the 3 HPs I had lost.

Ax wraps bandages around his wound
Heal check to recover HP DC 20, w/+2 from healers kit 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 27
Ax recovers all HP by exceeding by 5 or more the DC and adding one more hp cured by adding his Wisdon modifier . It seems my healing training was much better than my swordplay, Ax tells himself.

Hurt, Ax turns toward the remaining kobold. He slashes again as he makes a commitment for practice and heavy training... He is clearly lacking in the martial arts.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 . His sword finally connects and he shouts in triumph "Aaahh! " and sits on the floor panting and makes use of one of his healer kits.

Let´s see if I am luckier with the critter in the floor.
Atack of opportunity with Shortsword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7Damage would be: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11.
After swashing down his sword, Ax moves to the left and attacks the kobold again1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6Damage would be: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8.
"Jack, its your turn, finish them off before they come back at me...!

Ax follows Jack's suggestion and moves back.

Ax moves S 1sq W 1sq.
I hope I don't blunder again. I hope this guy Jack knows what he is doing. Either he is a man of faith or he does not know what he is doing : You cannot reason with kobolds
As he moves Ax tells Jar and Jack " move away from the door, remember the critters don't like light."
Ax grips his sword tightly and gets ready.

Ax puts down his shortsword, takes a step back and wonders How on earth is Jack going to reason with the critters? and says aloud, "You did´nt land on this wobbling bridge with a shower of pebbles raining on you. Go ahead, talk to these dumb lizards"

will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
As Ax moves into the room, he moves close to one of the Kobolds and slashes with his shortsword. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 If succesfull then damage would be:
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Ax is quite pissed of at the critters: his arm still stung from the pebble they sent his way.

Ax unsheaths his Shortsword and moves inside, towards the Kobolds, and shouts to Jack, [b]"There are some kobold creeters down here, better be prepared to wack them."{/b]

"Amarandlon " , asks Ax, "It might be a good idea if you asist Aaron and Rumble down the trapdoor " . Turning to Fox, Ax suggests " Jack, you and I can quietly climb down with the rope and enter that way" , and finally, to Jar, Ax says, while looking around the tree line, " Jar, if you keep guard up here to cover our back, I think we can investigate more confidently".
Ax takes his rope out of his backpack and proceeds to tie it to the tree.
If the group agrees to this plan... Ax starts climbing down the gully.
Climb test down the rope: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Stealth test to do it quietly: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
otherwise, in case of non agreement... Ax takes a deep breath and awaits suggestions.

Ax goes back to the group and says "There is a trapdoor next to the tree. Let's check carefully if it's not a trap and I suggest we take a good look down there. We might get a double view: I have some rope, and while some of you go down the trapdoor, I can tie the rope to the tree and climb down." Ax looks around the team inquisitively.

To DM: Thanks your drawing is quite clear. Let's see what we do with the info ...

Ax turns to Aaron and speculates "We can either follow the goblins, or cross the bridge, where it seems they crossed this way and followed South" . Looking to Jack, Ax asks " Jack, does your map give any indication as to which way to go?" Axcayacatl puts his cap on and looks to the sky, and wonders about the weather.

Ax asks Amarandion " let's take a closer look at that tree over there. There are some goblin tracks that seem to come from nowhere" Ax takes hold of his shorts word, just in case. He looks around and concentrate again as he approaches the tree.
"Roll perception for details around the tree: " 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

and the survival check for the hail storm should have been: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
and the survival check for finding tracks " 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

"sorry about that, I am learning, so the dice for the perception check, should be" 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Ax looks around and concentrates on his sourandings."perception check for smells and sounds " 1d20 + 77 + 714 ⇒ (19) + 77 + 714 = 810 Ax asks " So, are we staying here or moving along."
Do we wait for the results of checks? (This is my first pbp)

Ax Survival check = (7)+5=12
Ax feels lucky for having avoided the worst of the thunderstorm. Only somewhat wet! He picks up his stuff and looks around the guly for tracks.
[ooc]Survival check for "Follow tracks" = (9) +5= 14
It will take me minute to find out if there are any tracks. Everybody OK?

"My preference would be to go Northwest and approach the "X", from the North", Ax says to the group.

Ax walks back into the tavern. After looking around to see if everybody is ready, turns to the innkeeper and says "Thanks for the food and the shelter... hope we can cover our expenses really nice when we come back". He knows some might not come back... that´s the way things turn generally, but it is better to think all are going to be here, and not about the perils that will probably hurt one of this guys. He takes another look of the group and wonders who... With that black mood in his head, he calls to all "So, have you decided which way first?".

Ax aproaches Aaron, and says " Hi. Did you have a good sleep. Breakfast was good, but nevertheless... I'll go over the corner and buy some more food for the trip and a few ither trinkets. See you in a few minutes."
Ax walks away thinking about the things he will shurely forget to get, and will sorely miss.

Axcayacatl looks around looking for his group of adventurers. " Sigh! We should hurry."

"So ... It seems we are in bussiness " , saya Ax. " I'm ready. We need a hearty meal, and off we go." Ax moves around the common room and shakes the hand of all agreed members of the team. " Do we need any particular supplies? Has anybody had a ggod conversatiln with the inn keeper as to what perils he has heard are outthere?"

Ax looks at the newcomer from his chair, at the far end table. He scratches his face in a clear sign of fatigue. He is hesitant to approach this new adeventurer. He awaits for others to start a conversation. He is adh to leave, as soon as a group is asambled. Jack seems to be napping, he thinks. " bartender... Do you have a cheaper beer?" , he callas

Ax appreches The new commer and introduces himself saying " hi. My name is Ax. You look tired. Where are you comming from?"

"Good to meet you Amarandlon" says Ax, and adds "We can go out later today, at twilight, or wait till dawn tomorrow. Cots here are not confortable, but at least they are clean and flea free". And turning toward Jackson, he says Jack, Do you think we can get a fourth companion from one of the groups that left earlier? I heard in town that they were not getting along well. What are your thoughts Amarandlon".

After a while Ax waks back into the tavern. He looks around and sees a new face. He walks over and asks " Hi there. My name is Axcayacatl. From what I can see you are looking for some outdoors activity of the dangerous type that can provide some yellow metal. That guy over there, his name is Jackson, and myself are looking for companions in an errand of thatbsort. Interested?" Ax calls the bar tender and asks for a beer and a dish of beans.

Ax wakes up and stands up while picking up his stuff. He turned to Jackson and said " I ll take a walk around town and get some stuff. I' ll be back later... Hope somebody walks in. I need to start doing something and get some gold comming my way " He walks to the door and looks to the bartender and says " Can I use the cot again tonight?"

My fighter:

** spoiler omitted **

Walk over to the tavern. We can make use of a fighter to start adventuring.

Ax drinks two tankards of beer, mumbles "Wake me up if somebody drops by", and takes a nap.

A fighter is exactly what we will be needing.

I am Ok with a DM generated fighter, but having played similar PC's in the past on a real tabletop, it is a little awkward. Of course this web based table might make it invisible to players. Thanks for the offer Jacob!

Ax pulls a chair to Jackson's table, leans back and says "It seems we have a good wait in front of us. I heard the barman might be able to get us a good sword to go with us but he would be expecting to share in the spoils as if he wasn't a tavern hireling. How do you feel about that?" Ax looks down to his boots and sees a scorpion crowling nearby. He steps on it with the heel of his boot.
