Malan's page

Malan Highsummer has lived in the Breachill area for over 50 years. He's a hunter who spends most of his time outside of town.

Malan is a bow ranger.

.

Malan stiffens at Corinna's comment. "Pardon me, Miss Corinna, but I am no amateur. I am a Blade Dancer." Malan summons his black blade, Sliver the Soul Blade. "We are not mere battle mages as you humans can be. We are elite. We embody harmony between magical skill and martial training." With that he releases his weapon. "Also, Miss Corinna, I was not saying your family is less than hers, but would not your family's influence grow with the debt she would owe you for saving her life?"

"Miss Corinna, your light begins to dim. If you will not continue for friendship or altruism think of the favor that she will owe you. The Kaijitsu name carries weight over all of Varisia and beyond. She has the capacity to very generous in her thanks. But I have sworn myself to you. You decide."

Malan climbs into the wagon. He finds a place to sit and waits for Corinna to talk or not talk.

"Miss Corinna, I brought you some soup. I know you don't want to eat and want to be alone, but this is not a time to be alone. We can talk or not, as you would have it. Just let me in."

Malan wonders if this is the reason that Shalelu never stays anywhere for long?
Perhaps it is not her death that she fears, but the death of her friends and family. The heartache is a terrible burden that will be with us until the end of your days and elves have centuries long life spans for that burden to weigh upon us. He thinks. Malan gets a bowl of soup for himself and, even though he does not expect her to eat, one for Corrina as well.

Also not willing to look weak, Malan follows Corinna.

"We shouldn't trust this one." Malan interposes himself between Corinna and the newcomer. "He might be another of this keep's surprises."

"Come on. Let's go. Malan sullenly retraces their steps. Unless someone stops him, he goes back to the cemetery where they met the faerie.

That mist has really saved Malan so far.

Malan continues to backpedal from the wight and his turned ally. He keeps between them and his friends.
Hold action until after Gilfroy goes then take a withdrawal action.

Malan releases another ray of energy at about where he last saw the wight before returning to his friends. He keeps his hand on the wall to guide him forward.

I think it's a 50% miss chance 1d100 ⇒ 92

Malan sighs when he sees the undead's reaction. "This guy is savvy. be careful he wants us to come to him."

Malan's eyes harden as he steps forward (5' step) and releases another missile of of positive energy.
Disrupt Undead: rtouch,

It will need to step forward to get me, leaving him out in the open for the rest of you to attack at range.

Why stop when I such a good thing going?

Oh yeah, Malan stands up too.

Continue with the plan. South passage it is.

"They did not seem to to be very self motivated to me. Perhaps it just never occured to them to investigate this area."

Although Malan would not be the one to suggest it, we should probably go back. We could really use the rest.
"We should go down. If the peasants were revolting and the nobility needed to effect an escape, the secret tunnel would in the dungeon."

Just noticed Malan's hit point total (6 of 17). Did I miss some healing or is there any healing to be had?
"The pearls would look good on you, Corinna."

Next door please.

"I am in agreement with Melon."

Malan tries the door next to the one with the lizard.

"We may not want to open this door after all." Malan comments back toward Corinna.

Malan shrugs then goes over to the door and knocks on it. "Come on out. Throw your weapons down. We are experienced casters and warriors. Don't try anything or it will mean your end."

Malan takes a couple of steps from the door and whispers, "There's someone in there.", as he points to the door he was listening to.

Malan listens at the door (W33).

Malan makes an arcane gesture and quickly barks a word as he reaches out and touches the corbie (#10) menacing the group.

He then steps back 5' in preparation for a fighting withdrawal.

due to a copy-paste error. Malan is still quite comfortably at 6 hp

Actually, some healing would be much appreciated by Malan at this moment. He took quite a beating while in those webs.

Then Malan will try to escape.

"So we are going to make a brave stand against an onrushing horde of bird-men. You humans know how to show an elf a good time."

"This seems a prime opportunity to exercise a strategic withdrawal." Malan says to Corinna as he trudges his way out of the webs.

Malan is a follower of Pharasma and, while he does not seek death, does not particularly fear it either. Plus I figure his training helps him to maintain a level head in stressful circumstances. Right now he is doing the best he can to take out foes until he can try to free himself without danger or he is forced to do so.

Shortbow: arcane pool (+1)
to hit 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20 damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Malan gathers up his bow from the ground and sheathes his sword.
