Romulus's page

Thanks Akallabeth. Romulus will return the favor when he can.

I immediately scramble up the rope ladder to the roof. We can piece this mystery later.

"Akallabeth, let's go or you're explaining this one before the magistrates."

Wisdom Check (1d20+4=11)

I help Lucienne and Kegi make some rope. I don't fancy explaining this to the authorities.

I pull out one of the potions and down it.

Healing Potion (1d8+1=6)

Immediately, I feel the pain fade away.

Back to full health, I think

I hear Kegi shout something but I couldn't make it out before the zombies struck. I bite back a groan of pain. I step back cautiously and allow Kegi to cover my retreat.

Before the first wave of zombies reach our line, I take up a position that would allow me to catch several of them into the field of fire of my spell. I cover as many of the zombies with fire.

Burning Hands Damage (Reflex DC 16) (2d4=6)

"Pennywise, we could sure use any spell you might have up your sleeves!" I shout at the gnome.

Akallabeth having disengaged himself from the Hollow Man, I see this as my opportunity to attack. I take a position from which I will not hurt any of my party mates then I cause fire to burst forth from my fingers. Earn my ire, Burn with fire

Casting Burning Hands
Damage from Burning Hands Spell (Ref Save DC16)

"Lucienne, the thing released you when Akallabeth threatened it with fire. Perhaps, it is afraid of fire," I shout.

"Someone get Akallabeth away from that thing, so we can put my theory to the test!"

I notice the intense concentration on the faces of Maddock and Lucienne and I too concentrate to bring the environment under my will, just like in a dream.

I too spend an action point

I move towards Lucienne and interpose myself between her and the creature. "Lucienne, are you alright? What's that creature?"

For Logos

What manner of creature is this that grapples Lucienne? "Creature, unhand our friend!"

Knowledge (arcana) at -4 penalty

Perhaps, a knowledge (arcana) check will help identify the creature

Though I almost pass out from the searing, burning pain that suddenly engulfed my body, I remain on my feet. I exert my will and demand light to shine from my staff. Perhaps light will defeat the darkness...

Initiative (1d20+3=18)

For Logos

Looks like I get an aberrant mark pass w/o trace

Addressing the gnome, "Pennywise, is this part of the job? If it is, then be mindful that you'll be owing me and my partners here a lot of overtime."

"Lucienne, this does not remotely resemble anything in the interview room... I don't even think we're in Sharn anymore."

For Logos:

My AC is now 17 with the mage armor

"Thank you, Akallabeth."

"Akallabeth, as it seems that we're all in this together, can you cast a protective charm on me?"

Thanks

For Logos

Brandishing my staff, I call out, "I stand with you." I then move towards Kegi and the others.

I glance around the room, identifying puddles of liquour and other inflammables that might be ignited should I throw some fire into the mix.

What's happening here is truly strange...can this entire scene be real? The behavior of the people here are truly out of character, especially those men dancing together and the choir. This is not a high society soiree. Tis a bar for adventurers... can their food and drink have anything to do wit their strange behavior? Don't know if Lucienne, Kegi and Akallabeth have drunk or eaten anything from this place either. This needs further investigation. Aside from behavior, what other things are out of place? Check their clothes and their speech. When you can't trust your eyes, other senses must be used.

For Logos

I hang back and position myself in the shadows as Kegi and Akallabeth approach the staff. This could be interesting.

Addressing Akallabet, "Up to you what you wish to do. Just keep in mind that this is an interview... an audition if you will...for a job that requires 'Able Men and Women Wanted for Precipitous Tasks involving the Security of Sharn.'"

Waving my hand at the room, "This being a set-up has crossed my mind. But assumptions are not enough. Remember you need to impress our host."

"Pleased to meet you," I offer my bandaged right hand in a gesture of peace.

I continue, "Wouldn't want to spoil our host's surprise...but this much I can tell you. My interview was ok. As you can see, I'm still, more or less, in one piece. As to the other matter, our host is tough and wants tough people on the job, so if you're not prepared to do what is necessary then this job's not for you." I pause to let that sink in and I stare into their eyes.

"By the way, what's been going on? Everyone's edgy. Spooked more like."

I notice the woman beckoning me from across the room. What the hell I have nothing better to do. So, I walked up to her, where she is talking with two other persons.

Addressing the woman and her companions, "I couldn't help but notice you from the other side of the room. I gather you already know my name. But for those who arrived late in the game, I'm called Romulus. Please tell me how I may call you."

For Logos

After exiting the interview room, I proceed to my place among the shadows. I continue my study of my fellow applicants.

For Logos

For Logos

The Women up Front Yells " Romulus " And Points to the Door behinde here.

It's Interview Time!

Any Last Words.

L

sorry for the delayed reply, my internet connection was down

I emerge from the shadows. In a deep voice, I reply: "Here." Then I proceed to the door indicated. All of my senses strain to take in all of my surrounding.

I cautiously tap my staff on the door. "I am Romulus," I declare. Then I open the door and proceed inside.

What do I see?

I enter the room with my face swathed in bandages to conceal my scars. Tis best not to upset anyone here. I pick a shadowed part of the room to settle in to await my interview.

I spend my time taking stock of my weapons and surroundings.

Here is Romulus. Decided to remain a sorcerer. Also, please note the use of imbue staff as the alternative class feature to summon familiar.

By the way, could I start play with a masterwork staff, so I can already imbue it?
