His weapons springing to hand, he moved around the grappled dwarf, jabbing out with his short sword at the strange creature.

Wow, realized that I have yet to update this thread on my situation. I apologize for the delayed posting. The hard drive on my computer has given out and I haven't had to time to get it replaced. Until I get it fixed, my posting will be a little erratic.
Cleaning his two blades on the krenshar's fur, Pavo slips his dagger back into his spring loaded wrist sheath, resetting the sheathes maechanism as he does.
With one krenshar remaining, Pavo takes a five foot step to the north and decides to let loose, both weapons darting in at different angles as they attempt to slip into the krenshar's flank.
Fortunate that he was able to dodge the attacks of these strange cat beasts, Pavo smiles as he sees Sverrir come up to his right side. Bringing his feet together, the acrobat executes a daring leap that took him over the krenshar's body. Rotating his body in the air, he lightly lands with teh krenshar between Sverrir and himself. At an advantage, Pavo takes advantage by jabbing out with both of his blades.
Taking advantage of his dexterity and ability to catch creatures off-guard, Pavo slips past Sverrir, heading straight for the nearest krenshar before attempting to drive the blade of his enchanted sword into its neck.
Sword and dagger in hand, covered in blood from the short melee, he takes a moment to decide if his blades would actually be cleaner or dirtier after wiping them off on the naked creatures. Shrugging, he does it anyway before looking towards the exit to the room that they had not come from.
Upon hearing the snarls and growls, Pavo tightens the grip on his weapons as he whispers, "Lucid's speaking tha truth of it. There is a beast down that way."
Grunting in pain at the hit, Pavo, not willing to back away, activates his spring loaded wrist band, and suddenly has a dagger in his left hand. Darting out with both weapons, he attempts to score telling blows on the remaining creature.
Seeing the strange creatures, Pavo pauses for just a moment as he tried to located Sverrir in the dim light of the cave. Not spotting the dwarf, he moves forward anyway, jabbing out with his short sword and hopefully hitting the grimlock before it has time to react.
Still keeping his voice to a whisper, Pavo responds with "Sure thing. I can take up point, so long as Sve doesn't get angry about not seeing so well...I am only human after all." Pulling an everburning torch from his pack, he passes it to Sverrir and says, "Fact of the matter is my eyes are pretty good, but they still need light to see, hold on to this and provide me a little light to see by, I'll stick to the edge. With all your clanking about, not much use for you being in the dark anyway."
Taking up a spot behind Sverrir and the conjured lights, Pavo reminds himself to see about finding a way to see in the dark as he continues. Both blades out but resting behind his back, so as not to have the light reflect of the blades, Pavo keeps his eyes pen for anything that Sverrir might have misses.
Up and ready after two days of rest and recovery, Pavo looks to the others and says, "So where to now guys? Seems there are some other cultists roaming about in these caves. Not sure about you all, but if they worship anything like what these dead folks did, then I don't know if I can leave them be in good conscious. Not with them being so close to what has been home."
I think Ramos or Senniki said to let them know how many charges you will need a 5 hp recovered per charge. Don't forget that we should be getting back about 4 hp for each night of rest as well.
"I think ya have had enough drink for now there Sve, or do you recall tossing the little you had to eat near the end of that fight back there?" Then, pulling out some rations and a waterskin to slake his hunger and thirst, Pavo turns to everyone and says, "Not sure what the rest of you think, but I think we should take at least two days to sort out what we found and go over what was happening during that last fight. I nearly breathed my last and from the state of others after I woke, so did some of you. I ain't a master of strategy, but I think we are gonna have to play smarter heading forward."
"Aye, resting for a day or two might be a good idea. It'll give us time to look over the journal and notes and maybe figure out what is going on." Looking over one of the notes in his tired state, Pavo continues with, "Seems like this place be one of three...at the least. Unless we come across this Grallack guy hiding somewhere in this temple, we can only assume that he be in charge of some part of this place. And whoever the owner of this symbol is, seems to be in charge as well."
Once the group has distributed healing and decided shifts for the night, Pavo looks to the others after recovering and sheathing his dropped short sword and says half in seriousness and the other in jest, "So I guess then next thing to figure out is what is up with these notes and also, who gets a bed?"
5 charges from a wand will get me up to 26 hp, which after a nights rest will then put me up to full. Also, I am still waiting on a verdict for the ring of protection, if no one else wants it, I will add it to my character sheet.
Leaking out life blood, Pavo simply lies there while those still standing see to the injured or loot the hidden temple, whichever is best suited to their talents.
I do not have one. But after this fight...will definitely be asking for Lucid to make him one once there is enough downtime. Also, if everyone else is alright with it, I will take the Potion of Blur.
Pavo would like to nab the MWK light crossbow (get way from the limited throwing of daggers for ranged), the ring of protection +1 (if none of the in your face types needs it), and buffering cap (Because every adventurer worth his salt needs a floppy, shapeless hat :P) And to square away character leveling, I will be going with Offensive Defensive for my rogue talent and I am increasing Strength from 13 to 14. A not as well, I changed my skill point distribution for level 4, moving the point that I put into linguistics into knowledge dungeoneering instead.
Yeah, I was looking for something that highlights his talents as an acrobat, but the one that stood out to me was a once a day effect. Though after what he has been through Resiliency is looking mighty tempting as well. And I can definitely spin the Offensive Defensive talent acrobatically. So many choices!
Leveling up: +5 Hps +1hp from favored class bonus
One Rogue Talent : Deciding between Fast Stealth or Fast Getaway
Skills: +1 Acrobatics
Ouuuu, now which rogue talent to take...decisions, decisions.
I can definitely remember to post the blue text that Fanguar mentioned. However, I don't always remember to change the profile by-line.
Gritting his teeth, Pavo was growing tired of this bible thumper words and was itching to drive his blade into the man's throat. Unfortunately, as he once more feels the wave of pain wash over him, his eyes roll into the back of his head as he suddenly coughs up blood. His blades dropping to the floor, Pavo crashes to the ground, his life blood seeping from wounds that seemed to appear from no where.
As he once more feels the evil energy wash over him, Pavo does his best to strike out shortly after feeling uncertainty replace the evil feeling as wounds mended and healed.
The area filling with evil energy, Pavo concentrated for a moment as he tries to fight of the cold that tightened around his heart. And though he coughs up blood from the energy, he lashes out at the cleric with his short sword.
Shortsword and dagger in hand, Pavo gauges the success of different tactics in his head. If he were alone on this end, he would take his time, but with the noisier Ramos around and what looked like Lucid in the middle of melee, his best bet was to move in quickly and distract the enemy before Lucid's luck ran out. Making a call, he rushed in, striking out with his shortsword on the backside of the man focused on the combat in front of him.
Opening the door, Pavo slips into the room, taking in the room for only a moment before making his way to the opposite wall and the door that is there.
Seeing that the hall was clear of obvious enemies, Pavo darts down the hallway, turning the corner to face another door.
Before the others go running off, Pavo grabs Marcus' shoulder and whispers, "I am going that way to see if I can get behind them, keep them distracted. With that, he moves to the door and attempts to open it.
With a 16 intelligence, what chance does Pavo have of figuring out that the door near the throne will lead to a way to flank whatever Sverrir is fighting?
Once the rope was secured, Pavo slips his blade into his sheath, take the rope in both hands and begins to pull himself up, bracing his feet against what he could to help in the climb to the upper level.
Not having gotten a good grip though, he fell off the rope shortly after getting off the ground before stepping out of the way to allow one of his comrades to try.
Pulling a length of rope from his pack, Pavo moved over to Ramos, who was preparing a grappling hook. If the dwarf wasn't sensible enough to let them into the fight, then they would find their own way in.
I got fifty feet of silk rope. Will get a post up as soon as possible.
I think the balcony is a no go, at least for this round. Unless you can manage a 20 foot climb in one round. Our best best is to convince Sverrir to retreat down the hall so the rest of us can get into the action.
Grinning, Pavo opens and slips through the door, moving away as quickly as he can while doing his best to keep to the shadows. Once on the other side of the door, he uses his free hand to draw a potion that he plans to drink next round.
Moving to the door that Ramos barred, Pavo confirmed with [b]"Yes. Once everyone is ready, remove the bar and I will see if I can slip in."[b] Sword in hand, he waits for someone to remove the bar before attempting to open and slip through the door into the next room.
Seeing only on guard left standing, Pavo rushes towards the guard, slipping past his comrades as he tries to sink his blade into the armored foe.
Feeling better now that his bleeding had slowed, Pavo dashed forward, jabbing with his short blade at the guard that had been attacking him.
Putting pressure on his side by bracing it with the inside of his arm, Morgan takes another few steps back before gulping down the potion in his hand.
The last hit driving Pavo to his knees, Pavo grows desperate as his instinct to survive kicks in. Dropping his dagger, he takes a five foot step back before pulling out a small vial from his pack.
Ah yes, I didn't take into account the -2 to AC from the blinded condition in my response to what I rolled. It was indeed a hit and sneak attack
Smirking at the guards condition, Pavo presses the advantage, jabbing out with both swortsword and dagger at the blind guard. vs guard's flatfooted AC
vs guard's flatfooted AC
But merely risked giving away his position as his dagger glanced off of the guard's armor.
His armor absorbing some of the impact, the pain still drove Pavo to one knee as the guard's greatsword came away with blood. Weighing his options, Pavo defensively jabs out at the guard with his enchanted blade while keeping his body ready to avoid any blows that come at him.
Haven't found an images the rightly encapsulates Pavo determination with his unique style of dress...outside of the current one that is. ;)
Seeing the door open and him now staring right into the face of an equally surprised cultist and some of his friends, Pavo eyes widen as he utters, "Well phooey," before slashing out at the cultist. Then, leaping backwards, he makes a break down the hallway, shouting "Guys! Help, help help!!!"
Picking up some muffled words, he tries to stop the dwarf, but isn't able to before the dwarf swings his hammer. Whispering, Pavo says, "They definitely know we are here" With that, Pavo hurries back down the hallway to the door the guard ended up running through. Once there, he checks to see if the other door was equally secure
Keeping to a whisper, Pavo takes his head form the door and says, "I hear murmurs on the other side. Strange, you'd think they would have all fallen back to where the other guard ran to."
