Reign of Kingmaker (Inactive)

Nydia raises a slight eyebrow at Kejal's posturing and nods her her in a subtle manner in the language of women

To Nave I like a man who takes action and gets things done.
In replay to Kejal's comment I lost my husband and daughter in Irrisen. I can say that the Jadwiga are a cruel and despotic ruling class and that they are the enemies of the free. Luckily my sister married a brave man or I be there still and perhaps I or my sons would not live.

Ack to Bead's arrival.

"It was a little bit funny with the spider, Jarx."

Beads eyes the woman up and down. Grinning. Most people can't tell his facial expressions, which has saved him a few times

"The name is Beads. Not... Ack... though i think my cousin is called Ack... not sure. Anywho, nice to meet you!"

"Ack and Beads? It could be worse, I once knew a man who was called "Get off me!" so often that one could believe it was his name.
Come to think of it, I am pretty sure I knew a guy who really WAS named "Big dumb git" too..."

"Hah, anyone with his tail being grown to humongous proportions and not able to move efficiently can de funny if you think about it. It was a blessing, that it was not a permanent spell." amused at this memory

"Well, spiders are never funny. Who knows what those small filthy creatures think or plan. Also they are poisonous, the whole lot."

"Well, outside of us non-humans, I do see some orc" waving his hand towards one with a spear on his back "and a magical one. Seems to possess some magic. Interesting. Even an angelic creature.... elf, ah should have known it. Well, this will just get more and more interesting"

Well, this is getting funny. Beads being spider and somehow I can even imagine it was spiders, who attacked Jarx community and drove them away.... a looooot problems are awaiting in the future :P

Good thing he can't see beads, since he is about table hight ;)

"Well, names are just that, names. To single an individual out, no meaning behind it i think.So... uh... invited too... still not sure why though... rumors and hear say only gets one so far. Lots of important 2 legs here, so i will try my best to avoid them"

Oh Jarx, trying to avoid the part where I knocked your legs out from under you when I turned around yesss? What was it you landed in again?

"Pickles! It's never a good story until someone ends up face first in a bowl or barrel of pickles."

Sahisysha starts making a snickering hissing sound. "Alright then sssoftskin. He landed in pickles. By the way, I didn't catch your name. She reaches out her hand to Liam.

Nave smiles at the flirtation and raises an eyebrow. "I would enjoy spending some more time with you in private. Sadly I can't leave poor Evan here alone. Though if you come with us afterwards we could work something out. I am sure we won't be in a rush after they tell us whatever they called us here for."
Diplomacy Nave: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Evan is conflicted at Nave's words. He wants what is best for the eidolon, but he is not sure a relationship to another human is that given their bond. He looks sternly over at the eidolon. "Nave, that's inappropriate given the situation." Before turning back to Nydia. "I am sorry for your loss Nydia. It's good that you and your sons are well though. Maybe we should change the topic? What do you know about the stolen lands?"
Diplomacy Evan: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15I assume she is not a Brevoy noble.

Only then does Evan turns towards Beads, he is surprised but quickly catches himself. He had not expected to see a talking spider. "Nice to met you Beads. I am Evan. I must say I had not expected to see someone like you here. What are you exactly?"

Thrick lets out a low rumble of a laugh, "I don't remember him landing in pickles, but I do admit it'd be funnier. he'd have smelled like it for days."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 DC 13

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 DC 10

Shogunto pays attention to Nydia, and can understand in part what's being said. Silently, he looks at his Hobgoblin companion with a face of Are you sure?, but eventually starts to understand this might be important.

The Jungle Orc can't help but notice all the strangeness of the people over there. Kobolds, Lizardfolks, Spiders, Winged Elves... Where does it stop?, he thinks.

Where's Magnar? - he finally whispers, almost confessing he doesn't know much about the local (or anywhere else) nobibility.

"He's the big guy." Reafil nods in the direction of Magnar. "I'm surprised there are so many strange races here. It took me a year to almost fit in here and you, well, I don't think they are yet used to you."

Beads grins once more
"Im a spider. Or did I lose a few legs on the trip? " he looks down and around his body, pointing to each leg
"Nope. Seems not. All of them there. Anywho! To answer your question properly, I am refered to, by some, as a Grass Spider. Odd though. Not a lot of grass where i come from"

We were warned there would be a diverse group of adventurers and that the guards would intercede quickly on any hostilities. In reply to the'why isn't everyone grabbing their swords' sentiment.' Also bear in mind most everyone here is connected or regularly contracted by Liberties Edge, freedom is something all races appreciate.

To Nave Oh my, I think I just understood what you are! I didn't realize Eidolons could look so... normal. The last one I ran across looked like a dragon mated with an octopus it was rather terrifying.

To Beads My apologies Beads, I was a bit startled by your sudden appearance. You are a good deal more polite then the last talking spider I came across.

To Evan Well I know Brevoy went to war with Irrisen a little over twenty years ago and that about 9 years ago the entire Rogervaria family disappeared on the same night which has left the way clear of Nikko Surtova to take the throne. I know that there are rumors of war and civil war. What else is there to know?

To Beads My apologies Beads, I was a bit startled by your sudden appearance. You are a good deal more polite then the last talking spider I came across.

"Then I am glad I can surprise."

He bows his head

Liam smiles, takes Sahisysha's hand and kisses it in a perfectly gentlemanly way.

"Liam Patrik Dougal O'Hanlon McGregor at your service lady."

Then he grins and elbows Thrick gently with a wink.
"You know he would have been found one of those days gnawing on his own arm in his sleep, trying to eat the delicious pickles the smell made him dream about."

Hissing at this a bit "Hah, so funny all of you... let me see spiders coming at your body parts. And what is wrong with pickles? Keep your stomach in a good condition and tastes good" Jarx defends himself as others seem to gank on him

Muttering to himself with a low voice "Just you wait, when you come running to Jarx: oh great Jarx, can you please do xxxx or perform xxxxx... oh sure, then people are all polite and charming".

Stopping and then looking a bit more closely at this person called Liam before speaking againHmph, we will see. Since it seems everyone is introducing themself, might as well do it myself also: Jarx the Kobold Wizard, the most renowed crafter in these parts and former resident of Old Magrave. This here is my bodyguard, Thrick. And that red kobold -yes I know for thousandt time he is white, but it was a freezing temperatures and ice, which have caused such a change in him - happens to be my son, Schub. Sadly he is not taking after me" sighing at that as his eyes looks at him with a sad expression

Ah Jarx, you take things too seriously. After all, I'm the one who's tail dragged through town when we went to get it reversed and had it run over, twice.

"Was it my fault now... and well, of course life can be nice and good, but I have to take care of my son, while living along these humans. No respect, not enough gold. Could be worse I know I know and only reason I got here was because of you.. thank you, yes" mubmling the last words as he looks over Liam as if pondering something

"Liam was it. What brings you here then and so interested to speak with non-humans. Usually your kind keeps to themself, instead of talking to monsters" saying the last word with a bit of bitter voice

Yes, last group of humans who came through my town didn't agree with the way we lived our lives and sought to force us to change.

Liam chuckles a little at that.
"Don't be so quick to judge a book by it's cover." Jerking a thumb over his shoulder, Liam indicates Shogunto.
"He is as much human as I am, maybe even more."

"Besides, if my "father" could see me now he would most likely throw a massive fit, and that is reason good enough for me."

"So you consider humans as the benchmark do you?" She says with an angry tone and an amused twinkle in her eye.

Liam raises an eyebrow and shakes his head a little.
"Eh, not sure I'm following you there lady..."

Again with the son! Schub’s thoughts wander off for just a second. I don’t remember……never mind. Like Jarx said I’m Schub. Nice to meet you Sahisysha.

Looking a bit annoyed at Liam after he kissed Sahisysha’s hand, Schub nods slightly to acknowledge Liam’s presence.

I mean you said he was as human as you are. This human-centric attitude implies to others you and your race consider itself the benchmark by which others should be judged

Well of course :)

- Agreed... - Shogunto says - ... With so many different races around, I think even us would pass as normal!

The big Orc points quietly to Nydia, in conversation with Evan.

- Maybe we should introduce ourselves too. If she's related to Magnar, this might help us get a good contract. - whispers to Reafil - I'd leave the formalities to you. You know, she might like more the perfumed words you use!

"If a benchmark should be set, it should be the standards of strength that I obviously top.

Thrick strains against his outfit to make a display of strength and flex.

I look over at Thrick, Do not fall into the same traps as others. None of us should be set as a benchmark for the others.

Nave smiles and says, "I prefer to not refer to myself as such, though I am somewhat like those creatures. I am much more like a human, the better part of Evan if you will. I got all the necessary parts too, so as I said, you could come with us after our business here is done. Would you like to?" Nave winks at the woman, he fails to realize she was not actually serious in her flirting and even if he did, he wouldn't care. He just wants to have fun.
diplomacy nave for request: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Evan doesn't comment on his Eidolon's behavior. He knows he can't really restrain him and it's not like any harm will come out of it if something does develop. Instead he continues his conversation. "I wasn't actually alive for the war, but I've heard about it. The coup I rem very well though. I meant more what is happening in the place we are going to. What people or groups are there, if any? Are there any locations, events or dangers we should be aware of? It never hurts to be prepared. Don't bring a rapier to fight an ant swarm or try to burn a fire elemenal right?"
diplomacy Evan for questions: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

"Ah ha! You can burn an elemental! Use ice magics.... wait for it.... FROST BURN! Ta da! I'll be here all week. Thank you!"
His chittering noises could be heard as he laughs

Sahisysha stretches slightly. "It was a pleasure to meet you Schub, and it was nice to catch up with you and Thrick Jarx. Oh and Liam, I was kidding. And you know, I think you take after your mother quite a bit." Sahisysha begins to walk away through the crowd.

Liam waves a hand dismissively.
"No, not at all, I'm speaking quite literally, he looks like a half orc, so that means one parent, or grand parent was human, so he has human blood in him.
And in comparison to him, I have as much human blood as he has, or less."

"Huh...you know, looking a little closer, he might be a full orc.
Hmmm....in that case, maybe I do have a touch more human blood in me after all.
Just a touch mind.
Less than a...tiefling for example."

Sahi walks up near the hobgoblin and the orc. Ah hello, there.

ARGH! For some reason my feed didn't show any new posts here, and I just thought the thread was quiet. Sorry I'm late!

Having stuffed as much of the food into his gullet as he could manage and still walk, Wikiwik finally turned his attention to the conversations going on around him. There was a kobold stuffing himself, much as Wikiwik had been doing... and scattered in clumps through the room, a LOT of other non-humans! This looked promising. With his human-sized firearm over his shoulder (he had flat-out refused to leave it behind, despite Kejal's coaxing) and his distended belly sticking out in front of him, he wandered the crowd, listening in on everything, his enormous ears picking up even soft conversations.

K:nobility DC10: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
K:religion DC10: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Perception DC15: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Huh, some human woman with Calistria's holy symbol of daggers hanging out in a pack around some noble... Tough-looking fellow with a pack of fighters of a number of races (no goblins, though). Ah! There was Kejal, standing with Evan and Nave - he had a bad feeling about those two - and some human woman in leathers and fur. Feeling very fine indeed in his borrowed finery, Wikiwik strutted over towards them.

"I'm Wikiwik," he announced politely (at least, politely for a goblin) in the middle of their conversation, since the strange woman didn't know who he was. "Master gunner! Who are you? Did you eat all those foxes yourself?" he asked curiously, eyeing her clothes. He was downright erudite for a goblin, but still had a goblin way of reasoning, despite the hard work of his mentors.

"You smart to hire us. We set fire to the enemies of freedom," he added with a too-wide goblin grin, displaying his myriad slender teeth. Maybe he was joking. Maybe.

Good RP all, this is now a discussion thread I've moved gameplay to the first gameplay thread.

Well. People. Its 22:00 here. Have to get up at 530. Goodnight. Catch up in the morning

And i look forward to help cure our resident arachnophobe //^^\\

Good night :).

Can I do some sort of knowledge check to figure out that he is a synthesist (though I suppose he could also be an aegis)? Do I autosucced since it's just a different kind of summoner?

[dice=knowledge arcana]1d20+5

Yep that's a synthesist all right. Likely some fighter levels too before what ever happened to him he seems to have a martial bearing.

I don't suppose I get any extra info (like what evolutions he has) based on my "crit" knowledge? ;)

Well Extra arms is obvious as are the wings and scales. He is further along then you but you don't have a context for more than that. OOC he retrained soem fighter levels as aging did not agree with him. He looks to be in his 60s.

Wow, I didn't get notifications of new messages in the gameplay thread for some reason :(. I thought it was weird that no one had posted in a while :/.

Well how are you getting your notifications? I have a pinned tab with my campaign slot open on it that I refresh every so often.

I think he ment "didn't"

Yes, that's pretty much what I do as well...

I usually go to my profile and click "Campaigns" so I can see the campaigns for all characters, and when something new had been posted...
