Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

I am sorry to have to do this, but I will be pulling out of this game. I'm starting a new semester at school and I'm taking 20 credit hours, and I fear with too many games I'll be too distracted to focus on school. I'm sorry to do this so suddenly and leave a gap, but my schooling is more important. I wish all of you the best of luck!

Silx simply doesn't believe it's their job to go fighting wildlife, so he's going to sit there until the fight is over or convinced otherwise.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx sits down calmly, whittling as he waits for the fight to finish.

Yeah Silx sees no reason to go messing with a bear, and rolling your eyes didn't exactly convince him ;)


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx makes his way back. "Some fool got himself attacked by a bear. I say that doesn't fall into your jurisdiction so we should go around."


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx looks at a path around the woods, then sighs. "If we must do this than let me scout first."

Take 10 on stealth for 18. Getting closer to identify what's going on.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx tries to peer into the trees. "We should go around."


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Hmm, for some reason I didn't get the update. Posting now.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Yeah, a grapple check put into extreme detail. The weapon fighting is what's more unrealistic.

Yeah I'm ready to move on DM.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Lol that entire scenario sounded like a fancy grapple check.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Ah but the martial classes share the same disjunction from reality. They are legendary heroes who can cut off dragon limbs in a single swing, survive being swallowed whole, etc. If you want to try a more realistic combat system try something like the shadowrun universe.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

If you want to be a badass unarmed combatant look at the new brawler ACG class. Take a monk, but replace their defensive abilities with the offensive ones of a fighter.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Can you tell us a little more about the setting? All I see right now is crunch, and the reason I always join games is for the flavor.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

I vote for the footpath.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx checks the traps he's been working on, double checks the various blades on his person, then sneaks up behind Aak to see if his feet fall softly today.

Ready to move on.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Silx glances from his work, then slips over to Aak and nudges him, whispering what he heard and saw. "I don't want to get involved, but I figured you were nosy enough." He goes back to his work, and you weren't quite sure if that was an insult or some subtle compliment.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx shakes his head. "Cultist at least did one brave thing. Fought to the death."


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx gives a rare smile. "Runyar managed to run down the cultist that escaped. He also intends to meet up with us soon."


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Silx glances at Kalmuk and the letter, and if nothing seems amiss he breaks the seal and reads the letter.

Opening it might reveal more

Lol

Silx steps out of the shadows. "What is it that is so pressing?"


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

DM:
Silx narrows his eyes. And what exactly is on that bit of parchment?


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

DM:
Silx glances up from his work, long ear swiveling towards the conversation. More curious than anything he stands, sneaking his way over.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Finals coming up, but I'm still poking around.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

I think it means a third party could attempt to rescue them with a DC 20 strength check, but if they try to escape themselves then it's a DC 26.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

According to this page, a simple metal bear trap would cost 2gp. I'm thoroughly confused on making traps now.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

"You should be more scared. There's a reason my race is so hated." Silx stands and begins walking off, but ten feet away he snaps around and whips a dagger, burying it less than an inch from the mans head. He continues walking off at that point.

Yeah just curious to see what his deal was. Silx isn't much of a social person still.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx leans down, getting right into the mans face. He squats there for a moment in silence, then tosses his dagger up once more. "Scared of something?"


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Silx taking out a knife and begins throwing it up, catching it as he tries to make eye contact with the man.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Checks:

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

I should litter the area with bear traps lol.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx looks at the mural for a long time. "Amazing that I could make a mark on a piece of history without tainting it." He examines it a moment longer, then turns with his usual stern gaze and heads back to his room - although those that are getting used to his moods can tell he's fairly happy. "I'm working on a few things, but feel free to interrupt me if you need something."


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx respectfully keeps his head down, keeping silent for the ceremony. If my brother could see me now.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx, busy tinkering with some bits of wood he's recently acquired, glances up and then towards Aak. "Perhaps you would like to accompany him?"


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Ya, that would be preferable. I'd make some nicer stuff out of metal later, but for now some homemade traps should do.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Fair enough. Still, I'll wait till we have some more cash, we're rather poor right now.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

What is up with that ridiculous trap cost. I could drive to the store and pick one up with what I have in my wallet.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Oh ya, that's pretty much exactly it! Not quite as impressive on damage as the bear trap though...hmm...perhaps some of both? What would be the costs of each trap?


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Like a beat trap, but three spikes instead of two jaws.

Yeah I just wanted really fancy caltrops for sleeping at night and claymores for dungeon diving to cover our backs.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Holy crap that's expensive.

Something like a pressure plate that has three bars of metal that flip up and down into the pressure plate with spikes on the end of them.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

The second link does not work, but yeah the bear traps is pretty much exactly what I had in mind. Could I have a trap that functions exactly as them but just look a little different?


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

I believe I took cunning trigger.

Anyways, not quite the trap I had in mind. Closer to a bear trap, where it would continue to clamp on your foot after you set it off.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

What I'm thinking is some sort of three pronged spring device that brings spikes into their foot from the top when they step on it. I want it to be loud, painful, and stick in their foot until they sit down and take a few minutes to get it out.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

I'm going to see if I can start working on some traps. A few portable things, perhaps a modified version of caltrops. Hmm...


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx nods. "A sound plan."


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Ditto! Also, I have something to say.

I feel like I've been lackluster at best in this game, and I intend to step up from this point on. Going to flesh out and record Silx's background in his profile and get deeper into the RP'ing as well.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Apologies for the long absence, but I'm back!

Silx stares at the smoke a moment longer, then nods and relaxes. "If we need rest than we shouldn't push our luck. If they were driven off it can probably wait." He watches Caylen manage her burns out of the corner of his eye, then smirks a bit. "Tell me the last time you've seen me eager for anything."


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx narrows his eyes as his nostrils flare. "Smoke over there. We should go, quickly."


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx gives a curious glance at the eagle before turning to the others. "I apologize for my performance, he was rather slippery."


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx listens to the conversation, but spends the time checking the pulse on bodies and making sure nobody else is in the vicinity.


Male Drow Rogue (Trapsmith) 2

Silx shakes his head, then looks around and feels his pulse quicken and his palms get wet. He carefully climbs back down, calms his nerves and makes his way back, looking around. "Wha...what happened?"
