Dannie's page

I fleshed out Dannie as an Aasimar Paladin. Her sheet and backstory has been linked from here :) If that is too OP, I'm willing to work with the DM to reduce the benefits, or simply change her to a human, or maybe elf.

Certainly interested in playing, love to try out a Paladin. I'll work up a sheet for her now, and it'll be linked off this profile to the dndsheets wip I got started.

edit: are any races in particular off limits?

The Trait: Chance Savior from the CC player guide looks like a nice way to tie her into the story as well.

Moving on, though I think that was assumed :(

Hiya Jereth,

Glad to see your alive. I don't think anyone was kicked as of yet, Jinn has been awol a long time though, might be time for a replacement.

Any news?

For my Turn I'll simply blast the nearest Cat with Storm Burst.
Ranged Touch Attack: 10
Non-Lethal Damage: 4

I just realized that it was Damia up next, rather then Dannie(shows how well I read my own posts). Damia's computer is AWOL at the moment which is why she has been so quiet recently. Dannie, if you want to start working on your post I'll drag Damia over to my place tonight to put up one herself, though I suspect it will involve rushing over to hit the other firepelt(it will still be up for your post, has enough HP that it will survive an attack).

-Tarlane

Just saw this post, I was watching the IC one. Still no Jinn or Jereth though huh?

Bummer.

Dibs on his horse!
hee hee.

Ops her name is Cream. Carmel, silly me.

Invisible castle is down, but I plan on attacking the injured cat seeing how it's about to maul Damia. Though i will probably regret this if you want to roll for me Tarlane thats fine.

(Storm Burst)

I'll be keeping my hands on Carmel's reigns just in case she tries to bolt.

I have no issue with a Jinn replacement if he is gone. I would prefer he come back but if he's awol thats a bummer.

I think I would of had trouble even without the -10, Looking over Wild Empathy it seems to be pretty underwhelming of a class power. I wish there was some way to "synergize" it up to a more effective ability.

Fast Dismount Check DC 20: 10

Danni would of liked to dismount quickly, but she falters slightly, having time to only dismount(move action) before the Firepelt takes action.

Question about spot check results:

Reactive Roll:

Rolls:

Spot: 15
Init: 20

Dannie's Survival Check: 14

Danni must be a little preoccupied, Mistress Keldonza fresh in her mind, for she is usually better at hunting game. Though I may have done well enough to assist. Thoughts of Shalelu, still fresh, find way into Danni's thoughts still.

More of a curiosity really, I don't mind you holding that magic number for me :)

I am happy to hear theres RP awards for the RP side of things, as the PBP format really encourages RP over swinging a stick and leveling up.

Assuming at least one is a female horse, Danni picks that one to ride. And, I want a to know what color mine is!

Speak With Animals Description:

Dannie spends some time talking to her new horse, connecting on a spiritual level she intones words throughout her communications to allow herself to understand the horse, though she tries to keep that subtle so not to detract from the situation. She spends another full minute asking it some questions and allows the horse to ask her questions if it wants.

Sylvan: [To the horse]:

Question:
When do we tally XP? After enough for a level advance? Just curious as I never played a PBP before and not sure how it works.

My refresh button is broke again, I click it and nothing has been happening!

Dannie eventually finds her way back over to the stables where the horses are, but not before rummaging through her backpack for her studded leather armor. She spends a few minutes strapping herself into it then goes looking for Aldern.

Elven: "Let me not keep you then. I shall be in town later tonight and do hope to catch you before you leave."

Dannie has a preoccupied look to her eyes...

My day has become very busy, the Boar Hunt with Aldern, whom wasn't quite what I had in mind for a bed partner but in the end filled the sheets.

That hunt is also going to be spent looking for clues to the happenings with Keldonza... though I don't feel she is missing, probably just late, I mean there were no signs of any attack or struggle. She probably went exploring some trail and just dropped her gloves.

I have to do all that and still find time, to get fitted for a new dress for my meeting with Shalelu tonight at the Rusty Dragon.

Did I just get some kind of promotion in town? What is that entail? I should of really been paying attention, but look at that masterpiece before me, nice hips, curves in all the right places. I bet it takes 30 seconds for wine poured on to her neck to reach the base of her hips with all the weaving I see going on.

She would look fantastic in shades of emerald and gold. She will haunt my thoughts all day now. My thoughts turn to epic fantasy though, it is a place I will hope to visit soon.

Very soon.

Dannie sighs contently, letting go a breath she was not aware she was holding in and glowing softly for a moment.

Elven:(to Shalelu) "Everything I'm interested in is right here. Of course I will stay close, as close as permitted."

I will be accompanying Jereth and Aldern Foxglove on a Boar hunt in the Tickwoods today, as Jereth and I have a mutual friend that has yet to show up in town as planned. We are not sure if this is related or not, but are concerned."

"Would you have any information on this by chance?"

Elven: "You skills must be...capacious. I would love to have the opportunity for a one on one chat at some point when you have a favorable opening."

Yes it was flirting, I'm clearly enamored with her 1d20 [5] = 5

Dannie tries hard not to make it noticeable that she really wants to just stare at Shalelu in admiration and desire.

She puts aside the uncomfortable feelings she had earlier when the sheriff was speaking and waits to hear what the Elven scout has to say.

Danni sneaks down to the shoreline to clean her slip, she does this just before dawn so that she can feel the pre-dawn air caressing her naked form in silence. It's relaxing and expands her awreness allowing her to mediatate in peace.

Re-arranging her spells for the morning she memorizes 'Mending' to fix the holes in her slip, as she washes out the blood stains from her clothing. She also decides to memorize 'Speak with Animals' today in case Alana feels talkative.

If Aldern makes an advance and offers to share a bed, he'll succeed and to which he gets very lucky. Otherwise I'll be bunking in the stables with Alana probably.

I had another question for everyone's opinion on.

Obviously, as with any adventure path, there will be adjustments to the story based on all of your actions and just to make the game fit around your characters and I figure that is kind of par for the course.

However, in real life APs I have a tendency to toss in side-quests, be it modules or home brew treks or the like. In a play by post I realize that it takes longer to get through things, so those hoping to see the whole AP might be less up for that idea.

Naturally, anything added would be something I feel would add to the story and introduce you to people or places that would play into the overall adventure, but I would likely slow down your xp progression briefly while you were doing it so that no one would get too far ahead for the AP itself. It would be a chance for a bit of extra loot though if you were ever behind.

I won't make a big deal of this as we play, so depending on your familiarity with the AP you might not even know when something is a side trek rather then part of the actual story.

How does everyone feel about this idea? These are the sort of things I'll only include if people have interest.

-Tarlane

I'd notice, but care? Heck no. The world was meant to be drag and drop into your own if need be, please add whatever. I like when a world changes aroudn the events and actions of a character/s

I would have no problem with doing side quests.

And Dannie, I think Luis Royo would have some good pics for your char, since she is not so shy about being naked.

My only regret is I haven't gone naked yet, blame the Goblins, though I'm trying to push Aldern there in case he's too thick to notice.

I remember now, you showed us that earlier. Very nice.

Here are the ones I was looking at.

Forest Light looks beautiful. Then again I’m a sucker for a full length gown.
Forest Light

Waiting for Parsival could work for Dannie. It even has what could pass for an elven silk slip.
Waiting for Parsival

Ancestors is really nice, though I don’t know that it fits anyone.
Ancestors

Guinevere II, and Marian are what I hand in mind for something Dannie might look like.
Guinevere II
Marian

Man, all of this looking at art makes me want to buy copies of some of this and put it up on my wall. Most of my friends decorate their rooms with scantily clad models. Me, Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's, Marlyn, Sean Connery, Frank Sinatra, and several paintings depicting Knights and their Lady-Loves. Add some of these to that collection and its' all pretty good classic and classy stuff. Now if only I can improve my own painting skills... Sorry, just thinking/typing out loud.

This is the closest 2 I have found, but still not quite there (no tan or tattoos, I'm working on a portrait though)

Elf 1

Elf 2
(Jereth: I Love that girl in the white slip, thats very close to Dannie's wardrobe fashion sense.

It often takes a bit of time to gt the feel for your character, but Tamai has a lot of really cool hooks to him, I have a feeling he is going to work very well.

And I don't mind at all. I actually have the cards myself, but I don't have such ready access to a scanner, so if you wish to do that it would be great. Also, if any of you want to see any pictures of anything just let me know, I can normally come up with one from one of the books or some of the community created things.

I've slowed down a little bit on getting things up just because I've been busy, but if I don't put something up and link to it on the photobucket and you are curious, please, just let me know and i'll get it there.

And since I'm sure its going to be the first question, sadly I don't think Shayliss has a pic so far, either in the books or community created. She looks like she will start to play a bigger role in the campaign with how Jereth has been acting with her, so I am looking for a good pic of her.

-Tarlane

I think it's because she um...well you'll see. ;)

Sylvan: "It will be costly yes, it is not a first circle prayer. Perhaps if the Father Tobyn has access to this prayer we could convince him to do it for us. I would certainly sacrifice what I could to have it done."

"I have also heard that a more powerful wizard could do the same with their brand of the arcane, but one with that level of power would just as soon throw lightning and fireballs from his hand. I'd trust a prayer more, thats at least divine in nature."

Sylvan: "I will do what you think needs to be done little gnome, but a fault line in the human heart, even if all the pieces are put back, is nothing that can be fixed without time to grieve."

Sylvan: "Losing one of your loves, especially humans who only take one, is a great tragedy. I am not powerful enough to call her back yet, but in time I could."

Dannie pauses to lock eyes with Tamai at eye level.

Sylvan: "I would like to arrange a Cleric to lay her to repose gently until such time that I can though. I know I would want the same, another chance at love is only fair to all the unfairness visited upon this town today. If possible we should not tell Jinn yet, it may sting too hard or be interpreted wrongly."

1d20+4 [18,4] = (22)
Androphobia check vrs. The sheriff. (passed)

Sylvan: "Oh, the Sheriff, him. I suppose I could go, I don't know why he'd want to see me though."

Dannie witnesses something wrong with Jinn while making rounds, and understands the symbolism of the clenched ring in the girls hand. A fear she dwelled on not moments before the Goblin attack moves her to tears as she approaches Jinn slowly and wraps arms around him. She makes no motions other than to lay her head near his shoulder and whisper to him privately:

Unless Jinn understands Sylvan he would get the impression of a sing-song children's verse, or perhaps a lullaby spoken in hushed and soothing tones.

Sylvan (Whispered): "Shoma men ho cet au-Mithoseyna n nai ante, eval Eniya ante tem sholiay utholil, ni inlitel hanaka."

(There is too much Sylvan to translate, and I wanted to get this post in now, but there are 3 more sentences spoken.)"

Rough Common Translation from Sylvan, for those that may hear and understand:

My F5 button will be thankful :)

Dannie will walk the town and make sure no one is still hurt, I can use Stabilize (Druid Orison) at will (magical effect that makes a dying character instantly stabilize.) and also administer heal checks.

Dannie looks a little worse for the wear but still standing. Her blood stains her dress but finally stops flowing with the end of her heal spell.

If approached by the priest or acolyte she insists they tend to Alana and not her. Pointing to Alana and saying "Her, heal her."

Elven: "More of my blood was spilled than I hoped, I'm afraid I'll soon need to rest. I don't know where to go, I cannot stay in the woods this night I am too weak to fend off any stragglers." She lets the unasked question hang in the night air, giving it time to breathe before turning her attention to Alana.

In a more melodic voice than what she said in Even she intones an ancient verse long ago whispered when the Elves were but infants.

Sylvan: "The courage you showed rivals any steed, your spirit more noble than any golden mead. When you blaze in the night trampling your foes, know that my soul burns with you, know that my spirit with you goes."

Dannie gives Alana a hug and a kiss on the forehead before she trots off with Jereth to search for Shayliss.

OK, I promise I'm done editing that last post now. Man, I think I redid those last few lines about three or five times.

I do that too.

I post, read...modify...change....it goes through no less than 5-6 edits before I sign off on a post.

I generally enjoy googles sense of humor. Of the languages you can change their search page to, it includes 'elmer fudd' 'klingon' and 'bork bork bork'

-Tarlane

Bork? I never knew that!

Targetting Goblin G19 with a Storm Burst.

Storm Burst (link)

Common:
"Run Goblin, run back to your hole.
Before Jereth's lance makes you a new hole."

Touch Attack: 1d20+1 [15,1] = (16)
Damage: 1d6 [1] = (1)
-2 penalty to Atk rolls for 1 round

Jereth, Alana, and Dannie also heal 1 hit point this round due to fast heal.

Dannie stands her ground and does not move. Blood still exits from the two wounds that were stuck to her, further ruining her perfectly white attire, though she seems a little more steady on her feet than a few seconds ago due to the fast healing.

Dannie Current HP: 6

Dannie steps back and closes her eyes as she draws her hands around herself. Then after a quick pause she throws her arms out wide and expulses a burst of golden light that speeds healing for herself, Alana, and Jereth.

Common:
"That was the last of my healing spells,
but I'm not counted out yet, these Goblin invaders must be repelled."

Dannie converts her other Cure light Wound spell into a burst of fastheal 1 for the next three rounds for all allies in 30 feet. So heal 1 now then 1 on the start of my next 2 turns.

They ruined my slip! Do you know how hard it is to get Fey made silk slips that fit like a second skin? And no mending spell until tomorrow!

Those Goblins will pay.

Attempt to help with my dismount roll(Ride) by using Wild Empathy again:
[17,4] = (21) (passed)

Fast Dismount (DC 20)
[19,3] =(22)

Amazingly, Dannie leaps from the back of the horse landing beside Alana, taking a quick step back a prayer already formed on her lips, she releases the stored energy and blasts the Goblin Leader with the power of nature.

Dannie is able to dismount as a free action, once dismounted she uses a move action (5 foot step) to avoid any AOO's to square H18 and invokes a 'Storm Burst' on Goblin and dog at E19. (it's a 5 foot burst, I think that hits both right?)

Storm Burst on Goblin and Dog at E19: Touch Attack (18, 1 = 19], [damage = 2] (and a -2 to ATK rolls for 1 round due to rain/winds)

Dannie stares the Goblin down, almost daring it to advance. A sneer appears on her face while her innate glow pulsates in time with her breathing.

Common:
"Looks like, from just a glance,
that you have a chance to meet Jereth's Lance.

Your blood and this dirt will blend.
These are your last breaths, your lives will end."

Added a quick backstory, linked to my profile.

I agree, this round has some tension doesn't it?

If you guys wanted to chat while we wait on moves etc. My aol IM name is Lord Evil Monkey

I'm usually on at work so if your up for some Game chat let me know.

OOC: Fair enough, I assumed me and Jereth could act kinda separately as we are removed from the main fight, I'll stay on the horse for now, let Jereth charge and then do what I had already pasted and see where I need to be, placement wise, afterwards.

EDIT: I was able to delete the post (and will repost it on my next turn so it doesn't look out of place.)

Maps looking good!

I'm with you guys, I was actually considering putting up the fluff text for you and Jereth's poses as I don't think that they will be effected by his at all(since he's likely to keep attacking while you two move off). However, I realize that Tamai is likely to be firing at one of the same targets Jinn is.

While we are all on though, I was curious, since the party is splitting up, rather then moving on to the next set of encounters as one and since the next set of encounters is right outside the festival grounds, does anyone have a problem with me simply expanding the google docs thing on this one? I was going to use one of the flashy tactical map pictures, but that would let us keep track of movement and distance relative to each other better I think, so that if one group needs to quickly join the other they know how far away they are.

Let me know what you think

-Tarlane

Whatever makes it easier for you, I'm fine with.

I've been refreshing the page for hours now!
