Adular's page

Okay. Ridge here again. In that case, I offer up Adular, the elf paladin. That racial bump made him a little less of a moron :)

He's got some gold to spend to, but not enough for a magic sword. Ah well. He'll try to get one in play :)

Folks, I want to apologize. I know I've been the weak link more than once in the posting here, often to the understandable vexation of fellow players.

RL has been kicking the asses of my family and loved ones, constant hurry up and wait sword of Damocles stuff even when it seems quiet...I wish I could tell you more, but a lot of it just isn't mine to tell. Suffice to say, more #### has gone wrong over the last year than I care to contemplate, and a lot of it isn't resolving anytime soon. That explains my many week plus long vanishing acts in this and other games, but it in no way excuses it.

But apologies get cheap after a while. And if I can't keep enough balls in the air, I need to admit I'm just not that good an actor and let a few go. So I'm quitting this campaign.

Of course, It's the GM's choice on what's done with Adular.

Frankly, my vote would be death. It makes sense that he would enjoy his afterlife and not return. And that makes him look less like an ass for leaving his lady love, his crewmates, and everyone else in a lurch. It als allows that 'strange energy' for the mythic stuff to 'flow' to the next PC that replaces him if such helps.

He could be an NPC....lord knows others have played him better than I.

His goods and items would likely be left to be distributed to the crew

However, Rain would find that Adular had a wooden carving of Neko, expertly done, with a note of apology for his having been an ass about Drenchport. He'd been meaning to give it to her for awhile now, but his player's #$## schedule interfered.

Immortal, especial apologies to you, you've been more than patient.

It's been a pleasure to play with all of you, and maybe I will in some of the games I will still be on, but I simply must trim things down, and the one where I'm constantly failing folks as a fellow player seems the best one for starting that.

Sorry, #### hit the fan again this past week, unexpected guests were nice, family car trying to die in the worst way was not. Toilet troubles in a bathroom doing some damage, also not fun.

I swear, one day i'm going to win a small lottery just to balance this out. Please someone BOt Adular if you need to.

: Formal bless if allowed without breaking the rules. Why not?

Adular has spent most of his time with Preperation, and Sandara... he blesses the crew before things are underway, "Besmara, Pirate Queen and joyful plunderer, we ask your blessing upon this fine crew, or at the very least, that ye with hold your blessing from those scalywags we'll be competing again! May the winds favor our sails! May the scent of salt spray keep our wits about us, and woe betide the woe begone who tries to cheat us o the prize!"

Adular would of course send the sending...

but he is worried for Dhaavan,

"Much appreciated, and don't mind me fussing too much."

"Ye did?" To the Captain, "Good to know, does take a worry off, thank ye."

Adular, do you think few scrolls or a wand of make whole would help repair any damage to the ship that we might suffer from the weather?

"That's fine thinking, Captain," Adular concurs, "Seems to me ships sometimes need emergency healing as well. A dispel magic mayhapys, either in one of our heads or on a scroll might also be wise, in case some other ship tries a bit of a cheat on US eh? Odd fogs or the like?"

A grin at both the wedding talk, and Jiro's personal business, "My services are at all your call." He bows, "I should go to see to the lady in me own life." And he plans, unless needed now, to check on Sandara.

"A race, heh...a race! I like that... Besmara be blessed, nothing like taking the prize between your teeth and boasting about it for all to see. Sure, let's learn the rules, but I'm a for it, clearly" *The Cleric seems to be quite upbeat about the idea*

Sympathies for your family, hope your brother mends as quickly and healthily as possible

Adular wrote:

"Would that I had been to your side sooner, actually."

She shakes her head at his words.

"Nay, do not chide thyself for the time of thy arrival, good priest; for it is a certainty that we yet live, and that is what matters," she says with a courteous tone.

Her eyes turn to range over the edge of the coast where their vessel is anchored and she thinks a moment, considering Adular's faith, then she turns back to regard him thoughtfully.

"It is written - A ship is safest while she rests in harbor; but a ship was not made for harbors, nor were sailors made for safety," she then says with a friendly smile.

At that last, Adular nods, and gives a nod of respect. What more can be said beyond those words of shared wisdom?

............

At the lady's greeting, he bows, "It was most interesting."

"Well, as they say in the faith, 'All Praise to Besmara, long as I get the fee.'" Wrly. "Would that I had been to your side sooner, actually."

Thanks, Rain. Mostly he was mentioning a brief stop there is possible, and if not, his own fault. He has a gift for Rain not that she knows that exactly. :o

"Well, there was an object I commisioned from a wood carver so to make apology for my being a complete ass earlier... but that's my problem to fix." The Cleric seems apologetic.

"I think I best get to praying as soon as possible and restore what I can of those in need such as Poor Ramen-set and yourself, Flynn. Sandara might have a few more spells... and by the by? We need to find some wand o lesser restoration next time we make it to market. Damn leeching forces cripple us even when I have the spells ready like I did this time, and could kill us as the good marksman said. " Adular said [B]"As for planning otherwise, well, planning is why I put the captain's brains back in his head as a priority." Wryly.

Well, with the exception of a lost job opportunity, for once things are going well for me and mine *Knock on wood*... but I did run into some old friends I hadn't encountered in over ten years and lord, that was a long but pleasant distraction.

Don't forget, Amun said she'd have some Lesser restorations of her own last she and Adular talked, so he's probably assuming, wrongly perhaps, that she had some to use. Thats IIRC

"Nice to meet you lads, Adular Bluth, cleric of Besmara, and lad who is wishing he had really pressed for some requests he made ealier..." Seeing the dim look in his Captain's eyes, he works on Variel. "Let's get your wits back into ye, Captain."

Restoration ALL of Variel's Intelligence

Rain's HP currently due to CON damage: 43/49.

Ability Damage suffered: INT damage 4 (INT now 10), WIS damage 3 (WIS now 11), CON damage 3 (CON now 9).

Coming out of the poisonous fog, Rain feels her vitality ebb a little more and a pallor grows on her face. Her breath is a little laboured and she takes a moment before speaking, having heard what Flynn had to say about Amen's condition and relieved the girl was not dead and just sleeping.

"I am in need of healing. My external injuries are not great, but the poison from the Manticore and this cloud have decidedly dulled my senses, mind and vigour."

"Forgive me, Rain... but I can fix one of those with the spell I have, not all. Tell me which, and I'll pray for it." He puts a hand on her shoulder energy flows.

Which ever one Rain selected gets restored 1d4 ⇒ 2 points

Finally some decent rolls for Adular in this scene. *Whew*

Adular hears the cry for help, and with a muttered curse races towards Amen Set and moves to help her... Mythic Point to quick cast.

Lesser Restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Even if it means the mist may yet kill him as well.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Pardon... today, our provider had an area outage that included us for over 12 ****ing hours.

Good lord I'm starting to feel cursed

Enjoy your guests, Adular.

Wish I could say I did. Nice enough folks, but we were expecting two, and with minimum warning they upped to 5 causing us to scramble for bedspace. Add to that an extra night more than expected, and I admit to feeling less than happy with them.

Unexpected Guests stormed us today and will be here for the next two days. So feel free to bot Adular as a healbot as needed. He has more than one Lesser restoration currently (And a good thing)

"Next to the First mate..." Adular answers if he hears, then coughts. "Who just gave the best advice."

Status: -4 Con, HP (With Con Penalty) 30/36 (Without 42/48) bless spell functioning) Invisibility gone

When Adular can move, he races towards Dhaavan as fast as he can, and pours healing energy into him CMW: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (6, 5) + 10 = 21

Adular nods while coughing, and a surge of mist and light hits all but their foes...

Selective Channeling, mmoving if need be to make sure Dhaavan gets it: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 2, 3) = 12

"More soon as I..." *Cough* "Can."

Fort save 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

It's official, my dice are trying to kill me.

Adular is caught off guard by a bloody TENTACLE throwing a bomb, and gets the worst of it... coughing and reeling

Adular raised a brow at the first mate struck the woman with a lightning touch. "Sounds like you're for killing and not for capturing..." Adular has no problem with that, but takes his turn to bind the woman's hands in case minds are changed, "Been looking all over for ya."

His curse having failed, Adular instead tries a plain old rapier and hopes it works, even as he moves if he must to stay out of the way of more skilled melee types.

To hit Rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Oh that's just sad

As soon as he could, Adular uttered his spell "Besmara curse thee" and touched the foe he had closed on

Bestow Curse, DC 17 Will Negates, If failed, then Zarskia (?)has a -4 on attack rolls, saves, ability and skill checks...
To hit Touch 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Perhaps a bonus for flanking and invisibility. Invisibility ends

Ugh. That roll to hit

Feel better soon

Adular's player has his internet back, and hopefully his health ;)

Adular goes into the room where Dhaavan, Jiro, and some fellow he doesn't know well are...seeing the woman with the greyish stony skin menacing his friends, the still invisible Adular moves towards her

And I believe thats a double move to the square north of her and my full action. I'm hoping to get close enough to cast bestow curse on her next round

Thanks for the head's up on that. I know I can be slow at the best of times, and between the heat and medical trouble, now is not the best of times. Please feel free to redirect Adular as needed so he doesn't get in the way in the future if you need to.

:( Again, apologies, I've been extra unreliable of late

Not sure if I'm still invisible or not either. As I'm not sure how much time has passed :o

Ok. Had to go to the doctor yesterday, and at the same time, we lost our AC...joy.

"After the battle, Jamba pulls out a wand (infernal healing) and casts a spell upon himself. "Needin' ta find ya frien'" He helps the group look for Dhaavan.

"Aye, pretty fellow by the name of Dhaavan. He's our first mate... say, you're a handy fellow to have around in case we ain't takin time to say. Thanks for the hand."

Okay, was dragged by friends all over the National mall for about 10 hours today. Liked a lot of it, but still wish I could have quit a bit sooner. Tomorrow I will be in a looooong drive home, so please bot Adular until thursday if you need

Put up a post mostly to get the heck out the way. THe map is hard to read so mostly I'm having him check rooms. As he's invisible, I don't know if he'd trigger an attack or not.

And sorry folks, bad timing for the trip it seems. Please, feel free to bot (Probably as a healbot) Adular as needed if my infrequency is slowing things down. :(

Adular moves however needed to stay out of the way of his compatriots, mmoving further trying to find the first mate as ordered earlier...

Finally in DC... not sure how much time I have to post so feel free to bot if the pace picks up and I'm not here. Action :move and search.
Perception check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

WB!

Small world

Folks, Starting Friday I'll be in Washington DC for a week. I'm not sure how good my connection will be.

Adular, who is still invisible, makes to move near Variel looking for a way further back to look for their first mate

Full move action I believe. He hasn't attacked anyone yet so still has time on his invisibility spell. Not sure he can get past all the guards to where Dhaavan is, but we'll see.
