Akela the Wolf's page

Vance Has a point. I think we might be ill suited to court games. I know i built Akela to fight.

Well then, "Deverau", you should be aware that this may be your last meal, your wounds are poisoned, though the food is not.

I get the feeling this spell is going to see a lot more use. I was just about to write this one off too.

Hmmm, this seems off

Cast Bloodhound to gain scent for 4 hours
And taking 10 to detect poison

perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Noting the man's pain, Akela gets up and walks sedately over to tap the man on the shoulder with a touch of magic. Deverau's wounds begin to seal even before Akela returns to his chair.
Cure light 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sense motive 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Is he deliberately waiting to actually seal his alliance, or could he possibly have forgotten?

Akela is distracted enough that he hardly glances at the new arrival.

Akela, human again, rushes in.
I brought the chief h.....
Upon seeing Lindynt already engaged he cuts off mid sentence and backs out, trying and failing to be discreet.

sorry for the delay, had to revive my computer unexpectedly.

Sizing up the Lady Olistan from the floor, and realizing the poor vantage the position provides.

I think this is a sign to stay out of politics. Akela ponders. Open spaces and wild places, that's where my talents lie.

Sense Motive 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Without waiting for a response, Akela pads off through the halls to find out what was happening.

Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 + scent

Lindynt, in this audience accusations and rancor will be level at you concerning the Kobold tribe. I would ask that the chief be there with you to help meet them as they come.

Pulling him away from prying eyes, Akela continues more softly.
And one more thing, I will be there as well if I can, but watch.

Akelas form blurs and melts into that of a Dog, who stares up knowingly at the Knight.
8 hours on the wildshape thanks to Beast of the Society trait

I could go look for any other surprises, or i could try to keep an eye on our new guests. I'll be discreet, I have a new trick that im aching to try.

Put me down for "instigator" and "casual insults"

Joining Vance on the wall, Akela leans against the stones with a sigh.

And this is why I lived in the wild all these years. Its far more civilized.

Wondering the time of day, and what kinds of birds are local to the area. K Nature 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Pacing smoothly after Lindynt, Akela interjects, If i might hold your attention a moment longer, there is still the matter of the Kobold tribe.

Good thing I brought this with me then. Akela states, as he passes Gillem the wine bottle. I think you may need this more than I.

"We are quite confident at this point, and Im afraid they are far less mythical than I would like. But we have actually come to glean what we can from a source who has, perhaps, more insight on the subject."
Still seated like an island of calm, the shaman gestures to the Chief beside him.

Lord Auroral is the legitimate heir of Reinholdt, and before then was his staunch defender. Before our arrival, a section of the keep's guards rebelled against Reinholdt and seized the castle. Then-Knight Auroral rallied our small band to Reinholdt's aid and retook the Keep. It was in this fight that Reinholdt's life ended.

As the servant returns with wine, Akela pauses to pour a glass. Taking a draught, he continues, speaking deliberately.
The beastmen were likewise divided, one faction allying with the rebels, and their legitimate leader here, He gestures beside him has sided with us. We have agreed to a truce pending official discussion.
Noting the unease in the men before him, Akela tops off their glasses.
You will, of course be able to examine Auroral's claim. It is legitimate, and will stand scrutiny. Furthermore you will hear the full details of this incident shortly. I would like the rest of our gathering to be present before we continue much further.

Akela sweeps into the receiving room where Jegar and Tybalt already wait.
He still wears the the same faded blue robes and Wolf pelt, but the day old bloodstains have obscured much of the original color.

Taking a seat oppostite the pair, he speaks calmly,m
I am sure you must have many questions. The Lord Auroral will be here shortly, but for the moment perhaps I can allay some of your concerns.
I am Akela the Wolf, a Blue Mage.

After checking the rest of the tribe for injuries, Akela Chants solemnly before laying his hand on the chief. Casting Share Languages, granting the chief perfect Romandan for 24 hours

Come now, we must get this sorted.
and Akela strides purposefully into the keep with the chief in tow.

sorry to drop off like that. My computer crashed and I just got it back.

Akela is ill suited to most of those roles, but would happily act as an adviser. Though his wilderness connection makes him an excellent tracker and a sutble "Eyes and Ears"

But Lindynt would remember how just yesterday Akela stated how he is loyal to his own ways more than to Romanda.

Point buy on the Lore Warden was 15
Could be done in 14 actually, now that I revisit it.

Could work as Master-At-Arms easily. I'll leave the choice to Lindynt, its his staff after all.

Bit confused here, is the Lore warden build adequate...?

If the rest of you approve, i had this in my Army NPC Project folder.
Adds a bit of Know-how to what will involve some administrative work. Didn't finish the gear yet, however.

If we move to the main thread I can properly respond.

As they come into view, Aklela looks over the Kobolds he rescued yesterday for remaining injuries.

Sounding off. Been trying to digest the new ruleset.

Assuming im going to speak to the kobolds, i guess its the next day and ive re-memed spells.

hate to be a stickler, but usually there is no doubling up on domains or stheir subdomains. If its fine with the dm, im fine, but perhaps another domain would broaden the character a bit. Nobility or Glory would lean towards Kingdom Building.

hit dice 1d8 ⇒ 6

Question: Is Romandan a separate language from Common? if not i have a useless language on my sheet.

"Fare thee well, Reinholdt, and Goddess, I thank you for the honor you have shown me. Its more welcome than an old wildman like me could have hoped for."

To his new comrades he adds "Tomorrow I will be preparing to speak with the beastmen, if any wish to ask, have your questions ready. I know a trick let one of them speak our language."

I would not mind either but I lean towards taking the reigns ourselves. I think Lindnt is actually suited to being the new leader. I better just give Akela some more appropriate skills to playing in the great game.

There is an old saying I once heard. Treat other generously or destroy them utterly, for they will avenge slight hurts, but for great ones, they are incapable. If you would go to serve the divine, it would not be a neglect of your duty but a great service to those who remain. For the demonkind remain, and we have only hurt them slightly....

Aid another to Lindnt on the bull rush
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

After a moment of indecision, Akela darts into the back room and looks for something to smash.

Aoo trip 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Quickly now, this is becoming untenable!

K Religion 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Someone must keep the beast at bay
Move to H11 and trip
CM Roll 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Akela closes to 20ft. range and howls like his namesake, drawing enegy from the land into the sound.
Move and cast hunter's howl DC: 14, Tapping Ley line

Continuing his slow advance, Akela Strikes and steps again.
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 5) + 5 = 11
5-Foot Step North

Akela swipes at the remaining creature while stepping further to the source of the vile noise.
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
damage2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 5) + 5 = 11
5 foot step "North"

I Still have to clear the path so:
Attack E21 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
damage 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 1) + 5 = 10
5-Foot step into the space if it falls

sorry to leave you in a lurch like that. Got tied up IRL.

Attacking the nearest wraith (charge)
attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
damage 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 1) + 5 = 10

Initiative 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Are the torches in brakets on the walls or in free standing holders?

f28. hopefully we can lay down a quick beating before the boss joins in
