Alestone Rockridge's page

Well it's been nice sailing with you all for the past 6 months but here is where I bow out. I've got some minor complaints here and there, but who doesn't?

However the fact that I'm taking 18 credit hours this semester to finish my degree in May weighs heavily on my decision to leave.

Thank you all, especially to DM Bound Shade for stepping in and GMing for us after we lost our first two GMs.

DM Bound Shade: If you manage to make it to any con's this summer, lemme know and I'll buy you a drink if I can.

Alestone has no interest in being captain, it's not his style.

Alestone continues Inspire Courage
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Alestone thinks for a moment while moving to catch up with Scourge, trying to decide if there is any reason to keep these scum alive?

"NO QUARTER for da scum!"

Right before laying into Scourge's shin with a vicious kick.

Attack w/flank 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Alestone continues to shout at Scourge as he flails away ineffectively.

argh, when I preview the post it showed Ale stone, I must have accidently changed it when I finalized the post.

Maintain Bard Song
Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Stunning Fist DC 15

Seeing all the firepower against Pugg, Alestone will 5ft step up and try and kick Scourge square in the jimmies.

"Keep it up! Won't be long now!"

Revised Stat Block

Inspire Courage: +1 Hit/+1 Damage/+1 Saves vs Fear
"Now's the time laddies!"

If we had a moment before going up on deck I would have liked to have Aoro read my scroll of Mage Armor on myself.

"A bit 'ere dat worries me. Somethin' nobody's said nothin' about yet. Is makin' sure we can sail 'da boat. I 'spect much less than a score o' able bodies would leave us just circlin' the drain."

"Is Owlbear really wit' us? I'm not sure I know what makes dat man think, I'm also not so sure about the rahadoumi"

Take 10 on Profession Sailor is 21. How many do we need to sail this boat?

"I think Aoro's got it right, out in the open, marchin' up into 'der quarter's ain't gonan do us no good.

Sense Motive: Rosie1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Alestone helps himself to another large helping of rum while listening to the plans and generally nodding.

Alestone looks on in shock over Sunny's latest plot.

Alestone is done.

Thanks for all the rolls GM, sorry to create so much work.

Alestone will attend the sending off of Cog and will whisper a prayer to Torag under his breath and pour out a swig of grog overboard for the fallen pirate.

Alestone will take his 337gp share and add it to his savings of: 1gp & 5sp for a total of 338.5gp

*****

Ship Actions 4/5: Sleeping off the horrible hangover from Heave.

I am happy to let DM Bound Shade roll all the gambling dice, or I can add my own.

Alestone will continue to inspire courage.
Acrobatics (if necessary) 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Disarm 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Seeing Torque readying the final blow Alestone will circle around the officer to get out of Torque/the ranged combatants' way (5st if possible, tumble if necessary) before dropping his belaying pin and grabbing the Pike out of the Officer's hands to truly clear the path.

"Ow! Finish 'er off!"

Inspire Courage +1 Attack/Damage/Saves vs Charm/Fear

Alestone will close ranks with the enemy, positioning himself near Sunny in case she needs an escape route after having been beaten up a bit before shouting.

"Ya worthless sea scum, we a'ready took out the best of ya. Let's make quick work o' these grog 'eads boys."

Ack, sorry, posted with the character from my other pbp, please treat Chun Hei above as Alestone Rockridge, I've been having a little trouble without my desktop on vacation.

As a note I will be traveling all day Friday and will be out of contact that day.

I'm trying to hold back on the sauce a little. A belaying pin in one hand wasn't cutting it, now that I've got a pistol in the other I should be in business. :)

Alestone will make sure to grab at least one of the pistols that is laying around.

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 6
Concealment 1d100 ⇒ 11

Alestone, pleased with his defense last round and seeing the numbers shifting in his favor will switch to a more offensive stance and will over confidently lash out at sailor #4 with a savage backhand. (or the other sailor I'm engaged with if #4 has gone down)

Fightning Defensively vs #4 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 2
Concealment 1d100 ⇒ 24

Alestone will make as best use of the belaying pin as he can to keep the sailor's pointy bits away from his fleshy bits as he makes a chop for one of their elbows.

Stunning Fist:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 DC 15
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 3
Concealment 1d100 ⇒ 60

Alestone will close with one of the new pirates, swap his belaying pin to his left hand, grin, and throw a right cross in an attempt to ring his bell.

Also please note that Inspire Courage is down

Alestone will stop inspiring courage, take a moment to catch his breath and have a quick swig from his flask before offering it to Aoro.

"Best I got for ya"

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Concealment 1d100 ⇒ 27

Alestone will continue to shout words of encouragement, inspiring his allies before closing with one of the musketmen and striking at his elbow if possible.

Activate Inspire Courage
Seeing Sunny and Torque heading to the aftcastle, Alestone will pause for a moment with Aoro, shouting out words of encouragement to his allies, while trying to make sure Aoro doesn't get ambushed or filled with holes.

"Now's our moment laddies! get'm while da gettin's good!"

Acrobatics if a 5ft step won't suffice to flank 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Attack Roll (including flank) 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 5
Concealment 1d100 ⇒ 72

Alestone will step into flank with Torque, tumbling if necessary before letting out a hearty

Yarr!

and attempting a chop at the poor sailor's elbow.

Sorry, I missed the statblock request

Sorry for the delay, holiday family stuff has been keeping me buzy, the boards being down for about a day didn't help either.

Alestone will cross on the boarding plank, trying to stay near Aoro and not lose him in the fog.

Alestone will take a few swigs from his flask and say a quick prayer to Torag before grabbing a belaying pin and finding his way to Sunny and the others.

Alestone will scrounge up some soap and go back to attempting to remove the stink of bilge from his beard.

Finishing up finals and flying home to Berkeley, cya guys later Thursday night or more likely Friday.

Alestone will continue to inspire courage and will reluctantly hop down into the bilge, getting himself between Aoro and his assassins and will ready to stunning fist defensively if approached.

"Time ta surrender 'fore ya beomce fish bait mate. The jig's up."

I have survived the first half of my finals. May be iffy on posting Tuesday-Thursday of next week as I finish them up and then travel.

Alestone will shout words of encouragement.

Inspire Courage. +1 Competence hit/damage + non stacking morale buff to fear with bless.

Sorry, I am dealing with finals, I will try and post late tonight, might not be till tomorrow, please run Alestone as you see fit.

Profession Sailor: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Perception to watch for Sunny 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Alestone will collect Aoro's dagger from the deck after the morning meeting.

Alestone is loathe to return to bilges, being his first day on deck again but he also worries about Aoro. Sunny's a good barometer for trouble though, maybe I should try followin' her once she heads below decks, hopefully Aoro won't 'ave been drowned by then.

Alestone shouts back up

"I think I see lanliss but 'e's wrapped up by a 'pider bigger 'an me."

If possible Alestone will grab a memento from Duo before grabbing the rope and getting the hell out of dodge.

"Let's get outa 'ere, they're both done for."

Aoro is totally right about not being sensible to be down there. Alestone just hadn't realized quite how bad it was. Alestone'll pretty much be grabbing what he can this next round and getting back out.

Perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Alestone shouts back up"That crazy be fiddlin' wit an altar, an' I ken only see Duo"

Alestone will pull Duo out of the fire towards the grate before shouting at the top of his lungs:

"LANLISS, WHERE ARE YA!?!"

I've got a few buffs here and there :)

I may just end up back up the rope in a sec, but I wanted to see what I could do to help first.

Alestone will begin inspire courage and lower himself down the rope.

"I'm common' laddies, don't die on me yet."

Yarrr, welcome back everyone.

Alestone will help Sunny as best he can.

[ooc]Move action grab either Aoro's dagger or Syl's, whichever is closer, standard action get back on board the ship.

As a note:

Cover and Attacks of Opportunity

You can't execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with cover relative to you.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 1
Stunning Fist DC 15

Alestone shouts up to Aoro
"Go make sure Lanliss an' Duo are alright, Syl ain't gonna be trouble."

Then down to Sunny in the water.
"Li' late for me Sunny, you too Syl."

Alestone will then backhand Syl across the face.

Acrobatics 1d60 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 (+2 more to balance)
Grapple 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Alestone will hop off the ship down onto the boat with syl attempting to grapple her.

I may provoke or get a charging bonus or fall into the water. I leave it to the GM. Included an acrobatics and a grapple roll though

Alestone will head back to the outside of the spider room and will take a took.

Opps, so I did. Depending on how many flames separate us from them will likely lead to a not following them through the door but perhaps checking out the hold from on deck.
