Silver Crusade

"Helloes!" A musclebound man with ruddy skin and a ridiculously big smile walks in "This Silver Crusade? Kyros dropped me off, said that here we fight evils and help peoples. Where Jerry start?"

Silver Crusade

A pretty young woman with long blonde hair enters, wearing armor, a longsword, longbow, quiver of arrows, and a holy symbol of Iomedae.

"Greetings, fellow warriors of light! I am Catherine Elizabeth Cassandra Brightsword, paladin of Iomedae. I've only been on a few mission for the Pathfinder Society and Silver Crusade so far, but I hope to work with all of you in the future."

Turning to the other new entrant to the hall, Catherine addresses Jerry, "Hello, Sir Jerry. You seem to be even newer here than I am. Welcome to the Silver Crusade. As long as you are prepared to help in the fight against evil, you'll always be welcome here."

Catherine notices someone across the room and becomes distracted. Barely paying attention to Jerry's reply, she tells him, "If you'll excuse me, I have someone to talk to."

She crosses the room to join another pretty blonde, Sister Isabella, who has been here for quite some time.

"Hello, sister!" Catherine greets Isabella, and the two hug enthusiastically. From their similar looks, it's obvious that she isn't addressing Sister Isabella by her religious title. Despite wearing holy symbols to different goddesses, these two seem to be actual sisters.

"Wait until I tell you what I've been up to! I managed to smite a large black dragon! Daddy will be so proud of me!"

"Well, I didn't do it by myself, of course. I was just firing a ballista at it from a distance, to support more experienced Pathfinders who did most of the work. But Iomedae guided my hand, as well as the other Pathfinders on my team who loaded the heavy ammo and helped me aim, and I managed to damage the beast with 2 out of 8 shots that we took at it. I truly feel blessed to have been able to penetrate its thick hide even once, given my relative lack of experience fighting such terrible beasts."

OOC: If you have to ask which scenario, then don't click here.:

Obviously to those who have played it, I'm talking about the Year of the Shadow Lodge Special.

From the subtier 1-2 table, my level 2 paladin actually managed to hit the dragon that was fighting the 10-11 table, with a pair of natural 20s in 8 or 9 shots. The fact that I was smiting it actually didn't increase my chances of hitting at all. Even with two allies helping me aim and my smite, I was only up to +12 against the thing's 32 AC, so I still needed a natural 20 on the die.

Silver Crusade

"Ballista? Oh like crossbows I see people carry! You fought Dragon? Nice!!!" He gives her a double thumbs up and an even bigger smile

farily obvious:
Jerry is not very smart. 'Kyros' found him one day in teh Cinderlands in the care of a Shoanti tribe. Though even they didn't kow where he came from, he was taken under Kyros's wing, and joined the Silver Crusade to fight evil.

Silver Crusade

((Jerry say, if Jerry is smart guy, who will crush zombie heads between thighs like sparrow's head? Then Jerry realized, just because Jerry not smart guy, doesn't mean Jerry is *stupid* guy! Jerry is good at what Jerry is good at.))

Distracted by several other pathfinders (and probably a little too far from the door to see it) Selena doesn't notice the hulk of a man enter into the room immediately. She makes a few written excuses and bids a few new friends farewell as she decides to head back to her apartments when she turns and finds herself staring into the middle abdomen of a behemoth of a man. eyes widening she looks up... and up... and up... and up until her eyes finally fall upon the ear to ear grin of the very large man. startled she takes a few steps back and attempts to collect herself. failing she clutches her lantern tightly and blushes deeply, finding a very interesting stain of unknown origin on the floor.

Silver Crusade

Bree-Bran has a seat out of the way, and methodically starts checking her weaponry. She keeps an eye out on the departing oracle, the small spit-fire of a gnome, and the new paladin and mini-giant who have just entered. For the moment she is quiet, working and watching.

Silver Crusade

"Hellos there, Miss! My name Jerry! What yours?" He sits down and picks up a chair in one hand, moving it next to him. "What you do in Society?"

Silver Crusade

A "human" with pupil-less silver eyes, flawless tanned skin and golden blond hair that appears to be blown about by the wind (even though there is no wind present), steps into the room. His stoic facial features belie his enthusiasm as he approaches the group present. He is outfitted in plate mail that is polished to a brilliant sheen. The symbol of The Light of the Sword adorns his shield.

It is pleasant to the senses to be in the presence of so many like-minded individuals. Having traveled for many weeks, seeking to free the undead of their earthly bonds, it gratifies me to be able to rest, even for a moment.

The godtouched individual seeks out refreshment before sitting down upright in a nearby chair...

Silver Crusade

"Nice hair! Jerry never have any, far as Jerry know. You look like humans only...shinier. You buy some sort of potion?"

Silver Crusade

Morbion looks quizzically at Jerry.

I fail to comprehend your inquisitorial remark. Oh wait, are you making a joke? That amuses me.

Comprehension dawns upon Morbion and you see that his facial features reveal only a trace of what might be considered a smile.

You refer to my appearance that differs from most of our kind. I hardly notice anymore.

Silver Crusade

"Like-minded, indeed. Any tips for killing undead?" Tod asks eagerly. Any positive response brings out a new side of the usually taciturn young man - a strong desire to talk about and add to his nearly encyclopedic knowledge of undead and how to kill them.

Silver Crusade

"Killing undead? Sarenrae grants me the power to channel positive energy for that. I don't know if you have any interest in joining the clergy, but the devout worship of any of the holy gods would probably allow you to have such power against the walking dead."

"Or you can go follow the path of my sister, and 6 generations of our family before us, and become a paladin. They just declare a holy smite against such abominations, and Iomedae guides their weapons to destroy the evil things."

"But if you're not a cleric or paladin, there's always the old standbys - holy water, cure spells, blunt objects against skeletons, slashing weapons against zombies, and so on. Just watch out for the incorporeals - anything you can see through. Not only are they harder to spot, but normal weapons don't work on them. You'll need a magic weapon to even touch them."

Silver Crusade

Tod gestures to each item in turn, showing that he's got all the "old standbys" - four vials of holy water in a bandoleer across his chest, a wand of cure light wounds in a pocket in his pants, and a silver warhammer and steel longword, one on each hip. "Thanks," he says, his voice beginning to slide from excited to his usual somber monotone. That reminds me. I need to find a stop-gap to fight ghosts, shadows, and such until I can get a magic sword, he thinks. At least this conversation was good for something.

You missed Tod's path to killing undead - the Ranger's Favored Enemy.

Silver Crusade

For the incorporeal ones, they sell this stuff called ghost blanch weapon salt. Its only one hit if you use it on a big sword like that, but If you smear it over a bunch of arrows it goes a lot further.

Haven't figured out what to do about them for my dino, usually just having him hit harder works.

Silver Crusade

"Jerry just get lucky sometimes, but Jerry might use salt now." He notices the velociraptor, makes a noise more appropriate from someone a tenth his age, kneels down, and asks "Can I pet him?"

Silver Crusade

The Velociraptor happily leans down to be scratched over his eyes. His back claw THUMP THUMP THUMPS into the ground, a massive talon rending the stone floor beneath it apart

Erm..sorry.. I'll stone shape that out later

Silver Crusade

"YAY!" Jerry says excitedly, then looks at the floor to see what the raptor did to the floor. He gives one last good scratch and promises to pet him again outside, and then turns to the druid "Where did you find Big Lizard?"

Silver Crusade

In a nervous and almost (almost mind you) disorderly script Selena replies: "I am Selena... I am from Taldor, living here in the society... as you can see I cannot speak... while I'm not certain its a gift I AM rather good at healing people... if you should require such, but I really must be off... it is getting late and I would much prefer to have a decent nights sleep before my next mission. Have a nice evening!"

Silver Crusade

"Not too many of the undead can deal with a smiting from one who is holy. But, as for the rest of you, it's been laid out. Ghost-salt weapons, and holy water are tools. Really, I think, it's a matter of attitude. If you are really one to face off with the Negative Energy of the Awakened Dead, you have to be able to counter what they normally do..." The paladin working on her weapons adds.

"I don't really know. I have my calling; I do what I do. I wish I could help more to be successful."

Silver Crusade

"If you keep Jerry in flanking, works fur me!"

Silver Crusade

Well he's not a lizard, see a lizards arms are sprawling...erm.. they go out like the lizard is doing a pushup. His legs go strait up and down like yours or mine.

I found him in varisia. There's a few hidden valleys out there that are a lot warmer than they should be. I wrote it up to be a chronicle, brought it to Absolom and well.. here I am.

Silver Crusade

"He seems nice. He good in fights?"

He's pretty scary with a running start, especially with a few spells on him. His favorites are animal growth and strongjaw, which makes his teeth, talons and claws bigger. Once he gets his claws in something with both of those up its... pretty bad. We had a flying wizard staying up at the top of the ceiling. I enlarged Conan here so he could reach and" the druid gulps a little "The talon went through his head. "We just need to work on his accuracy sometimes..." the raptor glares a little at that, and playfully bites Doyle around the mid section to pick him up and shake him a little.

Silver Crusade

Bree-Bran looks over and with a bit of a smile, rolls her eyes at the roughousing. "I've seen animals willing to go to great lengths for a cause their special friend finds important."

Silver Crusade

((ooc, how does one go about learning new languages through linguistics from a roleplay point of veiw? "oh, i leveled up so now i know Draconic!?"))

Young Selena, back from another mission, walks quietly into the room again, lantern slightly more dinged up than before, and her nice clean robes bear a new patch on her upper left hip. with a start she sees the raptor chewing on doyle and rushes over, withdrawing her notebook and scribbling "oh! did he hurt you anywhere? let me see where he bit you."

OOC: The same way you explain learning anything else when you level up: "On my last mission, I found that I was most effective if I swung my sword at this angle, so I've decided to work on that technique during my off time between missions. But since I can't spend 12 hours per day exercising, I've decided to spend some time in the Society's library looking up some stuff while I'm in town, too. It might have been helpful to be able to speak Draconic, so I could talk to those kobolds on that last mission, so maybe I'll check out a book on their language while I have the free time between assignments."

(ooc) a few pages back doyle was reading a book on thassalonian runes, prepping to learn thassalonian for the season 3 adventures)

Liberty's Edge

"You speak dragon now? Tell them I say hi!" Jerry cheerfully goes to Selena and pats her on the back, ACCIDENTALY dealing 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 nonlethal damage.

Uhh... i mean... "oww" (( as Selena))

Silver Crusade

Sorry about that

"Sorry, lady. Jerry no try hurt, just...I'm not very good at it."

Silver Crusade

A solid and sturdy looking dwarf enters the room. You can see his black hair and beard are singed. Yet his green eyes appear focused and determined. His armor is appears to have burn marks, as if he was struck by lightening multiple times, in several locations as does the waraxe hanging on his right hip.

He grumbles quietly "Darn lightning elementals shouldn't be allowed to just pop into existence like that. That big bundle of lightning cooked me were I stood. I'll be darn if that will happen again."

His grumble complete he steps confidently forward and says "Greetings all! The blessings of Torag be with you all."

Silver Crusade

Ooo yeah. I hate those.

casts a cure light wounds in whats bound to be a flurry of positive energy

Silver Crusade

"Electricity stinks cause it singes you and you need to buy new armor."

Silver Crusade

Selena scrawls a short message onto a page from her handy notebook, hanging her ever-burning lantern (did some research, as long as you pay of the spellcasting service you can totally have ever-burning flame cast on an object and carry it between scenarios. YAY) over the crook of her elbow. "and a hearty greetings to you as well, master dwarf. I am Selena Si... uhh... of Taldor. it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." she quickly turns toward Jerry again "do not worry my oversized friend... we are friends now, aren't we? ... I have hurt myself worse bathing, i may look frail, but i may be a bit more sturdy than you think."

Silver Crusade

Rhon looks towards Selena and says "Ahh...and greetings to you as well young one."

Silver Crusade

"Hello there, Beardy-man! My name Jerry!" He holds out a hand the size of a spade and offers it to the dwarf.

Silver Crusade

"Greetings Jerry." I grasp hold of his outstretched hand and give it a hearty, firm handshake.

Silver Crusade

Jerry returns in earnest. "Where you from?" He pulls out a map and points to the middle of the Arcadian Ocean "Jerry from here."

Silver Crusade

I must apologies, that young woman who entered (posted) earlier is my younger sister who loves playing practical jokes against me. But you must forgive her, as she is young and still does not know the ways of the world.

I am Ta'lyn, he who serves the Empyreal Lord Ragathiel, to guide my great sword with divine accuracy against those who deserve his vengeance.

Silver Crusade

"Nice! Wait...ven...geance...vengeance...REveng...WAS YOUR FATHER KILLED BY AN EVILDOER!" Jerry puts a stoic, grim, expression on his face "I will hunt down Revengeance Man's father's killer while Revengeance Man adventure!"

Grand Lodge

A handsome, young-looking aasimar with the noble features and alabaster skin of a statue of an angel joins the gathering. Under a masterwok breastplate, he is wearing red robes trimmed with black flames and a heavy mace hands from his belt.
"Well met indeed, my friends," he says as he bows his head in humility. "I find that many of the goals of the Crusade are noble indeed. An ordered society that seeks to protect even its lowest members from the agents of chaos, be they from the Abyss or more temporal sources, is a lo lofty goal indeed. That is why, with the imminent closing of my beloved shadow lodge, I, Brother Palatino, have pledged my service to the Silver Crusade. I will strive earnestly to bring order and law to a world of disorder and lawlessness, all in the name of our great society and the Prince of Law."

Silver Crusade

My name is Alexander but I usually go by Xan or Xander, I have been a member of the Silver crusade since the death of Aroden. may pharasma preserve his soul.

Silver Crusade

Ah! yes Father Palatino, i believe i saw notification that you'd be coming by soon... uhh... somewhere in one of these cabinets... oi all this paperwork almost makes me wish i hadn't accepted my promotion to Venture Captain... almost. we will be glad to have you around... now if i could just find that dossier i had something that might suit your particular brand of... er... service. *digs around his very messy desk, knocking a priceless statuette of pure ivory depicting a Varisian woman dancing clad only in a loose ribbon of long, flowing hair, off onto the rug in the process* ah blast... i keep forgetting to re-glue the base of that damned thing so it stops rocking when i shuffle around. if you dont mind snagging that off the ground for me? im supposed to be holding on to that for a friend of mine for if his bastar... i mean son comes asking around.

Grand Lodge

Always happy to serve. As a priest of The Prince of Law, I am also a fully licenced advocate. I am very good at drafting contracts and have served as the defense for several bandits in Varisia (after their capture when they attempted to rob Kalkamedes- my dear personal friend). They were hanged, of course, but I managed to talk the magistrate down from having them sold as slaves in Riddleport. That would have been immoral.

Silver Crusade

*brown hair falls over half-elven ears as she tugs absently at the long white gloves covering her to the elbow*

At your service, sirs and madams. I hope my healing services aid you as well as they did the Grandmaster.

Silver Crusade

"Welcome to all of you coming over from the Lodges. Plenty to do, and plenty of evil to smite. I'm mostly a warrior, but if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know."

Silver Crusade

Hmph. Pity you couldn't bring that bright-eyed fellow with the axe along.

Silver Crusade

Ah, yes. Ardelaneu seemed to think the Sapphire Sage would send him to find the undead. I'm not sure he was thinking clearly...

Silver Crusade

"OK, all you new people to the Crusade, line up for inspection!" barks a 3 foot tall, blue skinned gnome with wild, green hair, wearing a chain shirt and a crossbow and quiver full of bolts strapped to his back. Seeing the new people delay, he continues, "Come on now, we don't have all day! MOVE IT!!!"

Bluff: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

If your Sense Motive breaks that bluff:
He's pulling a prank on the new guys, not really lining them up for inspection.

Silver Crusade

OOC: Now that I posted it and saw the computer generated die roll, it almost seems appropriate that I got a natural 1 on that bluff check. Can I use my character folio reroll? LOL
