Basil leaves the wake in a contemplative mood.."Ah well tomorrow is another day"


Basil notes the Elven woman wearing the symbol of Shelyn and bows slightly to her.."A surprisingly large gathering don't you think Lady...it would appear the Vanderborens have touched many lives."


Basil says little as he moves from group to group within the park merely exchanging pleasantries and observing the interaction between others.He seems pre-occupied by something.

Actually rather like Alexander I feel I have a sufficient body of work on these boards to show my RP abilities..Basil himself has already been in two failed games


Basil gives his thanks and begins to mingle with the crowd..


Basil bows respectfully to the Halfling woman.."that would be most gracious off you madam.Please inform them that Sir Basil de Fermer has a communication from certain parties in the City of Absolam one that must be delivered into the hands of the Vanderboren family alone.Perhaps you could reccomend a good Inn one where you could be sure to contact me.I am afraid that this town is a blank page to me"

Basil is dressed in his explorers outfit. Weapons and armour strapped to his pack and his shield, the symbol of Iomedae covered in tarred canvas designed to protect it from the weather as well as conceal his affiliation.


Basil approaches the halfling woman at the gate with a frown furrowing his brow.It would appear that his mission has ended before it even began..his contacts killed whilst he was in the process of travelling

"Madam" he states plainly "I am sorry for your loss but,though it pains me to intrude upon their grief, is there, perhaps, some family member I can speak to, it is a matter of some urgency"


My Paladin of Iomedae..quite happy to nerf him back to 1st level for this.

Front line sword and board fighter.Classic Paladin really and a man who is going to have so many personal agonies of faith throughout this AP that he should be a joy to play.

Stat Rolls

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 = 12 Int
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17 Str
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13 Cha +2 from race
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 6 = 13 Wis
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 6 = 15 Con
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 6 = 12 Dex

not bad, not bad at all.

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Yes it was a good game.

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Remember everyone within 10' of Basil gets a +4 on all saves against fear and charm effects

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Fortitude Save 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Basil calls upon Tyrs power to smite evil slashes back at the tentacles using vital strike to pinpoint the weak points of the growth.

Activate smite as a swift action weapon bond to make sword holy as a standard action and vital strike as an attack action

Attack1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32 (34 if the opponent is an evil outsider)

Damage2d10 + 2d6 + 9 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4) + (3, 4) + 9 + 4 + 1 = 27 (36 if the opponent is an evil outsider)

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

[bump]

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil will begin to scan with detect evil as soon as he gets to the branch.

Initiative 20

Perception1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

If necessary Basil will remove his armour and take 10 instead of 20 giving him a 14 [19 with a rope]

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basils climbs slowly and deliberately as there is no immediate threat.

Take 20 on each climb roll for a 15 total on each..(20 if we use the ropes)

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

"Well climbing down in armour isn't going to be easy but I suppose I'll have to..now then let me go first my friends so that, in case I should fall, I will not carry you away with me. We should tie a rope off to the branch and have it as a safeguard too"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil gives a nod to the Squirrel like creature."Aye it won't be easy but we have to do it if it's in our way.We'll deal with this 'withered branch' and make things safe for your people"

"Break out the ropes my friends we're going to need them"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil grins..

"A threat to the World Tree is it..well Lord Tyr would not want that to go ignored I think."

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil inclines his head towards the Ratatosk.."Perhaps there is some service we can perform for you or your tribe in return for information"

Diplomacy1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

"I can't be altogether sure ..but if we can communicate with it maybe it can set us in the right direction..or at least stop us going in the wrong one"

Basil looks at the rickety climbing ladder and considers stripping his plate off if he has to climb

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil,barely notices that Fluffy's chatter has ceased.

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil ,naturally, uses Tyrs gift to see into the creatures soul..sensing no evil in the tree dweller he relaxes a little

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Fluffy's chatter goes in one ear and out the other with Basil as he ruminates on how much closer he is to Lord Tyr in this place..

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

"Lead on Fin" Basil says absently

perception1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Basil is lost in thought and not really paying the attention he should.

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil turns to Finrod "Can you find us a path through the tree my friend?"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Ok if people are buying supplies Basil will stock up on stuff like jerky and smoked sausage,dried fruits and the other staples of trail rations.

1 weeks trail rations [3 gold 5 silver]

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil looks down at the small figure tugging at his cloak..and grins.

"I am familiar with created food Sir halfling..I've eaten far worse on campaign"

He outlines the story so far to those who have just joined them careful to speak in generalities.

"In the end" he concludes " the prophecy told us to seek the bow in the beastlands..and as we have a consummate archer with us.."he nods to Finrod "we can make good use off this weapon"

"I suggest we move as quickly as possible to the portals and strike before those who might hinder us can react. I know well of Yggdrasil..it is spoken off in the legends of Lord Tyr"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil takes note off each off the new arrivals..it appears they are trusted by the Sons of Mercy in which case he is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

"Our prime purpose for now is to enter the Beastlands and retrieve this weapon..can anyone tell me about the Beastlands.Can we hunt there or should we bring our own rations?..are there maps available?..can we rely on them if there are?"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil sweeps his gaze over the newcomers but see's no evil in them. Satisfied with that for now heallows himself to relax slightly accepting an ale.

"Aye we have been sadly depleted in our travels..those who have fallen by the wayside I will not condemn for we have taken a mighty task upon ourselves and it will take nerves off steel and stout hearts to carry it through"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil's eyes narrow slightly as he sees who has returned.Though Greene is a servant of the Morninglord his motives sometimes elude the Knight of Tyr and this uncertainty makes him wary of the other's intentions. His turning up at this particular moment may be pure chance..or perhaps something deeper is afoot.

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil looks around the bar noting how quiet it is. He settles down in a seat facing the door with his back to a wall still not altogether at ease in the current atmosphere.

Listening to havoreth he begins to realise how things work here.He turns to Kara.

"What happened back there was..well it was what I was talking about earlier..the belief that you are in the right overwhelming all common sense and leading to treating good folk as the enemy merely because of thier association with questionable elements"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Yes and Basils was sort of a waste as Onyx is leaving us

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

"Well we were headong that way anyway.."

"I suspect given the nature of this place that the 'corpse' is more than that"

Great Planescape:Torment tribute btw

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil walks to Onyx and lays hands on him focusing Tyrs power to heal the Dwarves Wounds.

Using lay on hands 3 times..6 uses remaining

4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 4) = 17

4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 2) = 15

4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 1, 6) = 15

"Well met then Havoreth..and welcome return Corvax"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil looks around at the Armoured men..

"We were assaulted without provocation..by that Celestial and his comrade..who has unfortunately perished at the hands of my comrades who acted purely in self defence."

"I am Basil, Paladin of Tyr and I swear on my honour that I speak the truth...if you have any authority..arrest that Celestial and have him confined where his madness can be treated"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil glares at the Archon.."Aye tell Humbert you attacked us with no provocation and as a result your comrades death is on your head.I will have no further part of this city...or it's people"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil continues to beat on the Archon with his sword

attack 1 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

attack 2 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

confirm critical1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27
Damage1d10 + 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + (4) + 8 = 17 non-lethal

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Will save 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Basil strikes at the Archon holding him..

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

damage 1d10 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + (6) + 5 = 15non lethal

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

If Basil is involved in killing a celestial I would expect to be adding the word ex- to my character class

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

AoO Basil strikes at the celestial using the flat off his blade, a ringing blow on the side of its befurred skull

nonlethal attack(-4 to hit)1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Critical confirmation(-4 to hit)1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Damage 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
critical damage 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

on his turn he makes his sword a merciful +2 weapon and attempts to break the grapple

CMB check 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

"Defend yourselves..they have lost all reason..but please my friends do not kill them and put my soul in peril"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

"I said strike to subdue you idiots.." cries Basil.

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil draws his sword and adopts a defensive position..

"Holy ones..please...we do not wish to fight you..consider the consequences if good turns upon itself"

"My friends if you would defend yourselves I pray thee strike only to subdue"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil, though somewhat taken aback by the Ursines rage, remains calm.

"You Sirs..are not in your right minds...If you seek to provoke a confrontation then we will not give you the satisfaction of striking a blow against you."

"Move on my friends..this is not a fight we should seek"

He turns back to the Ursines..

"I will continue my quest Sirs ..but i cannot do it alone..a single tree is an attractor for the lightning..ina a forest it might survive a while longer..I give you good day Sirs"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

The young knights eyes gleam with a righteous fire.."The blood of Dragons..hmm..an interesting ancestry you have my lady..you are right off course..we must make what we can with what we have..my Mother used to say that..before..."

He breaks off again his eyes not seeing anything in the area but something from his past..then he shakes himself.."Still it is the present we must focus on for now..I wonder how our comrades are faring"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil nods.."The important thing is that we try..even if we fail we tried and our souls will be the better for it"

"I'd be happier if we had the 'Speaker of the Gods' with us still.My powers to heal and bolster our comrades are limited, a priest would be off great benefit"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil chuckles.."So you are the famous star whose disappearance caused so many tounges to wag.Well I dare say you had your reasons M'lady.More than one person of good mind has had to vanish into the crowd..sometimes I wish I could..but Tyr has laid a duty upon me and that duty is one I mst fulfil"

He stops for a moment and thinks then continues..
"Many see Paladins as some sort of unfeeling machine..with no thought in their heads but hunting down evil and destroying it...the reality is very different. We are but mortals with all the feelings and fears that brings..it is just that we have learnt to master the fear..focus it into a power for good. We can laugh and cry and love just as well as any other..but in the pursuance of our duty we must be aware of the fact that our god is always there with us, always watching.Tyr requires us to be just,to be even handed,if a sinner should repent his crimes and work towards the good off all then mercy would be his. Unrepentant evil on the other hand is to be hunted and destroyed at any cost..even my life. It is that knowledge that might make me seem at times..cold natured..the knowledge that each day might be my last"

he stops..

"I..I am sorry. I have wanted to tell someone that for a long time I trust I have not made you uncomfortable"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil's fingers close over her hand as he looks down at the tiny yet perfectly formed woman..his eyes aglow with some inner light she has never seen before..

"That was..the most intense experience I have ever had....I thank you my Lady for giving me the chance to live it with you"

He raises her hand..dwarfed as it is in his and lays a courtiers kiss upon it then lets go.

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

"I.." the young Paladin almost blushes "I always wanted to...fly..is there a couples flight experience perhaps?"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

"As long as it's nothing salacious I'm willing to try a shared experience"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil joins the queue.."Shall we experience something together or singly m'Lady"

(Male Human Paladin 1 (Warrior of the Shining Light))

Basil looks over the list off ..diversions with a sceptical air..

"perhaps" he suggests to Kara "we should try the sensorium instead.."

He tries to find out more about what to expect using his best manner.
