Dinpel Jannipack's page

then whistles some...

this is a gaming pbp charcter from a game that stopped. Those of you who are not familiar with pbp can use this as an example.

Dinpel hums a tune...

Whew; wipes the sweat from his brow...

wow; we were so cool and successful and I didnt do anything; some hero I am I say.

oh; forgot to add the +1 for to hit for the bless if it is needed.

Dinpel seeks to stealth closer to the snake and hobgoblin; as it is on the wall he is a bit frustrated as it has not moved; he stays stealthed underneath and prepares to wait until he can make a stealthed attack on the hobgoblin or if someone engages the snake then the snake.

Hide 16+6 22
Roll to hit if needed : 14+2; mace damage +1d6 sneak attack

ooh anticipation :)

:)

For Dinpel:

** spoiler omitted **

yes, I want to hide under the wall perhaps in or about some crates so than when he comes down I will be in position to gut him. will be thining, "I am a crate; nothing here but us crates". no prob if I cannot do it this round as I am hoping a fighter type will take the fight to this guy so I won't be the primary target. I think it will take more than one of us to take this thing down. If there is a fighter type who is gonna draw this guy out; then will hold till then, otherwise go on my next init if that is cool.

change weapons; Sneak over to get into position to sneak attack the snake rider hobby; am thinking this may take my full turn; let me know; does the rider look like a caster? am thinking to flank him if someone attacks him or the snake.
spot 12+4 = 16 any arcane or divine items

listen; 10 +6 =16

knowledge 13+3=16

am I in 50 feet; I think so, but want a gm call on it.

Well, if I am not online by my turn; then my char will try to determine if the goblins are making a mad rush for the walls, our position, or if they are not; if they are not; will shoot another xbow bolt; if they are; will hide and loose myself in the general confusion of battle to flank and sneak attack a gobby on a nearby party member that gets more than one opponent or gets in trouble; am also keeping an eye out for casters.

Spot: 14+4 = 18
Hide: 17+6 = 23
attack roll if needed; 11+ appropriate
Listen 8 +6 = 14

Dinpel picks a target and tries to fire from concealment figuring that the crossbow bolt will he hard to spot and with all the other excitement he may not be noticed; he fires at an incoming goblin.

roll 14 +1 BA +1 racial enemy (I dont have my book handy and dont remember if xbows get dex or not; hardly anyone in my game uses them)
GM (please roll damage for me on this one)

Dinpels then changes to melee weapons and tries to remain hidden

:)

Draws his weapons; checks the locations of the others party members nearby and remains hidden.

<looks around for Aradove and ponders fighting near the knight or the druid>

uhm; guys; uhm; I am not all tactical and stuff; are we sticking together in this fight all hiding or what; am not much of a stand up fighter and am getting a bit confused; our only advantage over gobbies is a willingness to work together for the sake of all....

well, shore nuff can help yas there though I be not big er strong; can adjust my tactics as needed; with all you big folk around, I doubt any will be lookin to hard in the shadows fer one little guy likes myself;
<jumps down to help with the wagons> we could dig some pits too n fill em with sharp stakes, but wouldnt want any of our folks in a hurry ta step on em; would have to hide em to be effective and we havent really told anyone about it so; might not be a good idea; but I read about some really big pits with spears in em used in a battle a few centuries ago; a failure against trolls, but gave some hill giants a pain in the foot <chuckles>

After taking a short nap; Dinpel looks around to see what is happening and listens for sounds of combat; readies his weapons and waits from his hiding spot among the crates and gear in the wagon.
spot 12+4 16
listen 14+6 20
hide 17+6 23

Thought the wagon would be good as it would be an obstackle and me hidden in there amongst the stuff under a blanket or something; well, dey crawls over it n I get a free whack at their exposed posteriors :) n still be not to far away ifn yall need help or I do.
Hide in wagon 18+6=24

well, been a long day, might be a long night with running battles; a good soldier is trained to sleep when he can with his squad in shifts; am gonna grab a couple hours. whistle er sumtin ifn things change quickly; gonna cover myself over in dat wagon oer there; in the battle will work like Ava to get their casters, might be better if I get the casters and Ava gets their archers; dont know, we can work it out as the situtation presents itself.

<thoughtful> crossbow bolts for me I suppose; a score er so unless we be skirmishin n not holding a wall, then I'll not care ta be carrying a bunch o pointy sticks. Maybe some rations n bandages; you never know; guess i should refill my drinking skins too.

<excitedly and spoken very quickly>
Wow you guys; this whole place is getting real mobilized like we are expectin an invasion, seems a bit extreme to me, but seems like every son and his dog is running this way an that. Gobbies aren't known for attacking well armed and defended groups without the element of surprize unless they are driven by more powerful masters. Anybody got an inkling of what do be goin on cause I figured we was just chasin a small group dat stole a girl. This kinda reminds me of the story of the Battle of Grondolon pass, course it aint called dat nomore oh, oh or the begining of the Quest for the Heartfang with Duke whatsizname when the mean greenies attacked the outpost of...well, anyway.

<chuckling and slower>
This is a bit overwhelming, but exciting...anybody wanna start a contest on which of us gets the most gobbies? We need a prize....<gazed about for a prize>.

lol, I had the numbers right; I just didnt add it up :)

Fearing attack and not wanting to miss out fighting gobbies; Dinpel abandons stealth and sprints back to the group as they may have no idea that things of this scale are progressing.

What should my exps be at?

<gm> I would like to have Dinpel slip away from the party once I see which building that the Goliath is taking them to so that Dinpel can go to the church and give a report on the goblins and check in there and give over any news that I may have brought from the church that I trained in as I may have letters or whatnot if you decide such a thing which was my original reason for going to the church when we started.

move silent: 20
hide: 23 plus any dark bonus for time of day
spot: 14

I hope to rejoin the party before they leave the Goliaths office, but if not then will seek them or find a place to hold up and rest.

Gittergoin :)

well, I am all fer going after dem goblins and putting it to em, of course, but still need to stop back at the church were I met yea and deliver a message.

Sounds cool; heeh a lot like what I do in my game; I finally implemented that all characters just max all their hps for every level; players are happier and so far it hasnt changed game balance at all, but has increase player actions; I have noted that they are more likely to attempt a heroic action as they believe themselves to be more up to the challenge.

will add one more hp to my guy.

character updated; rolled a 5 on hps; add one more level of spelltheif adds detect magic equal to times of day per charisma bonus and steal spell effect; ie like buffs, that are not typed "personal" in nature as in cannot be cast on others and spellgrace which is +1 saves vs spells. Increase to skills escape artist, hide, move silent, spot, tumble for a increase of 8 skillpoints for level 2.

Woot; i am good to go; am IN if we are gonna play :)

is this my right character? need to update my toon to level 2 since I didnt do it yet..

Utak; how is your recovery; you doing ok; no long term problems I hope.

I suppose I will head back to the church and rest and report; it was nice workin with you all...(as the gm is canceling the game, I dont see any point in upping my toon to level 2; happy for utak; sad for us)

I will follow the group or the druid if she splits off; limping along with a grimace; looking to the knight for leadership.

hmm these flasks dont look big enough to be a fire bomb <counts the flasks> though I suppose the caster <nods> could have enhanced the fire with magic after it got started.
well, we are dealing with the Snake Clan or followers of the snake as it were by their markings; that is good; at least it isnt Broken Toe clan and their fanatic dervishes or the terrible Red Mushroom Clan and their drug induced raging ravangers. I wonder which snake they follow though, hmm, totems of tribes usually mean stuff so watch for poison; maybe we should pick up some herbs to aid with drawing out poison if we continue.

grimaces, well how is the brave wolf; I saw him take a terrible hit much like myself?

init 11 +2 = 13

Hmm; this goblin clan seems familiar; see these marking? I have seen them somewhere before; hmm these thing in the pouch are interesting <studies the items and tries to recall goblin clans>

19 base roll for any of my 2 area knowlege skills at +3 skill plus your bonus 23
15 base roll for knowledge arcana +3 skill +2 your bonus total 20
14 base roll spellcraft +5 skill +2 bonus 21
Alchemy 14 +5 +2; woot i am skill man; 21
I speak goblin and have feat for extra knowledge hatred of them
11+3skill plus bonus for extra time(dm decide) for descipher script if needed; will tell the party "you know; goblins arent that brilliant, but they are sneaky and crafty; you might check that note over the fire or various lights or put some dust on it or something like that as it may have hidden script; not likely in this case, but always good to practice good habits.

spot and listen just in case
6 +2 8 lol on a roll with spot
12 +6 18 listen

Seeing that the battle seems to be in a lull; Dinpel goes and gets the gobby caster he killed and brings him into the clearing then will line up all the gobby bodies if he has time and begin to search them looking for clan or tribe identification, tattoo's and any valuables and anything of note; given enough time; he will be very careful and open shirts and remove footware and check hair as gobbies are very sneaky and warn any others who do likewise to beware of poison and tell a short off hand story about gobbies he read about that sometimes put venomous snake fangs or such into their armor and gear to pierce the unwary :)

gestures at the caster: this one was a caster of considerable power, this I know both from the spell I took from him that still seeths in my mind and the multiple blasts of arcane energy that tore into me as well are the arcane shadows that cloaked his body, verily, I thought I was dead; also, he was not interested in surrender or talk, sigh, methinks there is more at stake here than a girl and the village should watch to its defenses.

while doing these actions Dinpel grimaces in pain from his wound and sometimes his movements are a bit stiff.

search 15+3=18

<dm> to not hold up initiative order on my next turn; Dipel will continue to hide and take cover and launch the stolen spell at the nearest spotted goblin as this spell will only be in my characters memory for a couple hours so I want to use it. Please roll damage for the spell for me, thanks as I might not be online during my init and dont want to hold things up. Preference target to anyone I see aiming at ethelwolf if possible.

hide 16+4 = 20
msil 12+4 = 16

Dinpel moves closer, grimicing in pain, and listens and looks to help.
spot 12+2=14
listen 9+6 = 15
msil 13+4 = 17
hide 16+4 20

At the sounds of combat; Dinpel tries to decide if he is going to blast a goblin with a spell or sneak up and bonk one with his mace.

<just to keep in the spirit of things, have no idea where I am in the initiative as I havent even spotted a gobby yet>

Dinpel moves north to determine how fares his comrades and help if he can.

msil 14+4 18
hide16+4 20
spot 3+2 5 sheesh; darn moon,hope there is someone even in combat I can see, maybe frames by a light from a torch or something.

Dinpel knowing his freinds are under attack; attempts again to stealth and find a target; hearing his freinds yell he also looks to the trees

listen 8+6 = 14
hide 12 +4 = 16
m sil 13+4 = 17
spot (can I take a 10?) 2+2=4 sheesh, guess my eyes are watering from the blast.

moves toward the others attempting to flank and expecting to climb a tree.

Dinpel grimaces in pain from the arcane blast then
Dinpel swings at the caster hopeing to disrupt his casting;
13+2= 15 d6+2 damage if I hit; 6

attack of oppurt if applicable
12+2 = 14 d6+2 = 5

Dinpel strikes the mage again on his initiative with his mace and is strangely troubled by the thought of taking a life, any life, though this is what he has been trained for by the church and by those who have help engender his racial hatreds. He knows he must take the magic user down before he causes great harm, but he feels pity for the wounded creature.

roll to hit on my init; 18+2 20; d6 1 (lol so like me)=3 damage
roll for free strike if he casts and I get one; 3+2=5; hehe a miss

Attempt to bluff the goblin with semi facts as one more blow is likely to finish him and as a good guy I feel the need to try reason and take prisoners.
"you are surrounded and should surrender or our company of warriors will lay waste to your people - alive you can tell your grievance if you have one, tell your others to throw down arms or they will be hacked to pieces and their bones crushed"

Bluff roll 13 +3=16 plus any situational modifiers you want to add or subtract.

Dinpel moves to attack; spellcraft roll 12+5 17; give up my sneak attack d6 to steal a spell(random)level 1; dont remember if one he is casting is level one or not.

msil 12+4 16
roll to hit, hopefully sneak attack flat footed; 13+2 = 15
damage per light mace if I hit; d6=4+1 str +2 foe killer feat=7

I speak goblin if it comes up.

new init if needed; am still hidden waiting for the rush of goblins; hoping they will run by me and leave me near the casters hehe
6+2 8 ack!
