OOC talk
Dotting, hey Mini
What nobody knew was that a group of cultists entered the village under the cover and distraction, Marhok was quickly overtaken before he had any notion of what was going on.
He awoke only to feel himself bound in a ritualistic circle, quick glances to the side confirmed his suspicions, he was lying in a pentagram. The cultists around him were mumbling in some strange language he did not understand, though the meaning of the large knife he understood all too well.
The knife wasn’t plunged into his flesh, but a smaller pentagram was cut on his chest, the blood collected in a chalice. Just as the head cultist was about to go further with the ritual, something went horribly wrong for them, though it was the best news for Marhok.
As the leader started to chant, Marhok’s eyes suddenly seemed to glow a pale white while the darkness grew around them. Fire burned and brimstone filled the air, but Marhok could see better than he ever had. As the demon summoning by the cultists continued, Marhok felt his energy drain away until suddenly, a whitish dragon-like spirit appeared hovering above him, drawn from his own blood. From that moment on everything went awry for the cultists, the dragon spirit made the ritual backfire on the scared group of ritualists, killing them for their own ritual. Then the dragon locked eyes with Marhok, saw his life’s energy drifting away to the failed demon summoning. It drew upon the power of the ritual, sealing away a good portion of the energy in Marhok’s body, then it withdrew into Marhok’s blood and flesh thereby sealing and healing the wounds on his chest, the only reminder of the evening his memories and the pentacle on his chest.
With the cultists dead and the dragon gone, Marhok worked himself loose from his bonds, feeling reinvigorated fors ome odd reason. Although the demon was never summoned, Marhok still felt some of his energy surging around him, mostly its hatred and anger.
When Marhok returned his parents were lated, but noted the change in their son’s demeanor, his ascendancy to adulthood through this trial. Following these events, Marhok was take into training and night patrols, trained in the fight against the demons and taught to use his new-found rage in an inspring display of mastery of arms for such a young one. As he grew up, Marhok and several of his fellow brethren in arms turned to journey to Kenabres, making sure that they resumed their training there and join up with the crusaders around the Worldwound.
Marhok returned each year during winter to his village, but came back to Kenabres for training and festivals like Armasse there.
It is at Armasse when he was 24 that he met Edric; a loyal friend and spiritual guide. Born as the youngest son of a minor noble in Kenabres, Edric was supposed to be a fighter, but his easy speech and quick wits on top of his weaker physical build in relation to his brothers made him more of a scribe or acolyte. Though the two are vastly dissimilar, Edric looks up to Marhok as another older brother and Marhok enjoys the free-talking spirit and devotion Edric brings to the table. Now, they’re friends and brothers for over a year, they’ve seen the demons together. But recently something warns Marhok, something deep in his blood, a pulsing sensation, that something or someone is coming. He hasn’t been able to quite shake the feeling and Edric knows it, they both seem a little anxious about it.
If you want to have alittle read Mini, be my guest, this is Marhok's background.
Got my own loot-sheet on my computer, if you want it online let me know.
Nah I don't need it
I trust you
ok i gotta crash.
man you are ploughing through this...you will be level two in no time.
It's late in the morning for me, see you later in the day then.
yeah I've already figured out that a low-level barbarian can be pretty painful. Even if he hits only once.
Just a head's up Mini, I'll be away tomorrow evening around this time till 23.00 and I'll probably be away most of the time on saturday. Having some friends over for a birthday party, so I'm pretty busy.
Your bday?
Yeah it is, though my bday was a few weeks ago, only now getting the time to celebrate it.
oh well in that case have an item worth up to 350 gp
lol thanks, I know one thing that would be handy if I fight a larger group of monsters. A potion of Enlarge Person, elsewise a mwrk on my ranseur would also be great.
You can pick whichever of those you want
Also thanks for finding he miss post that happens from my phone
I'll pick the ranseur first, the steady boost seems better at the moment. Though when we get back to a town I'll stock up on Enlarge Person potions, they are just too good with reach weapons and combat reflexes.

Make sure you check out the FAQ on the large weapon stuff. I think the ruling is that you can wield large weapons but not two handed large weapons in one hand. Not sure but I think that is it
I did check it out before and you're totally right about that rule. Not that I think I will use many oversized weapons, but it's good to check it out again.
Edric's Feat will be Skill Focus (Intimidate) and his new rank in Appraise will be changed to Intimidate.
sweet!
Happy 4th all characters may have a firework of their choice
Traveling today, there may or may not be posts in games I am running, games I am playing in I will try to get something up!
Cowardly and smart! You aren't chasing them now
uh oh...this might be it for young edrick. Quite the tragic turn I think...
Yes indeed, shame how things go in the world... Hopefully the potion would be in time as he's on or will be on -13 which equals his Con, which means he's dead. Depends on your preference and rulings.
feeling better?
A bit, need to visit a doctor to get it checked out. Sorry for the absence, just saw the post in the gameplay thread as well. Paizo didn't display it for me. I'll get a post up.
all good,
making sure you know there is a post up
taking a quick weekend trip and will not have my laptop, I might get some posts via phone but don't count on it. I might be MIA until Sunday evening.
If I am playing in your game please bot me as needed! If I am running the game fear not I shall return
no problem, I've got a few things myself. have a nice weekend Mini.
So I had a hard time deciding on the curse other options are -6 toa stat or -4 to skills attack and saves
Yea that's a pretty bad decision whatever the case. In this case having a 50% chance reduction of me attacking would be pretty good, though I don't know the AC of the witch, I'd be tempted myself to get the -4 to skills, attacks and saves.
Yes I almost did that one, but the witch had no defenses up so my hope was you rolled poorly aw well.
I'll be out for most of the remainder of the day and tomorrow as well, competing in a tournament. If I'm lucky I can compete on sunday as well, so if I'm playing/DM-ing your campaign, you know why.
If I'm playing in your campaign feel free to bot me.
I'll get a post up later tonight about the buying/selling of loot and such. Access now is a bit inconsistent.
no problem bud
I will go ahead and post the next bit as well, it is a lot of exposition.
Also go ahead and jump to level 5
