Howdy! As Wolfgang, this character was part of a campaign that went ded, much to my demise. He is level 3, so I'd have to kick him down a notch. His backstory and such will be what they are, but I may switch to ranger (Idea is to multiclass between ranger and fighter). Quick question regarding character creation: is still the stat generation method roll or 27 point buy? And what woulf happen if roll is abysmally abysmal?
This is Emissary of the North, simply posting from this alias because it was my first and only contact with 5E and I did enjoy the streamlined nature of the edition. Also because I liked my rangery fighter. I won't say I will play a simmilar character, but it's a possibility -I do like martials with more than weapon skill- And I do love rolling for stats, so here we go! 11
Seems like a great array, a mighty one indeed. Won't have to tank any stat with that!
Alexander tires to adjust his eyes under the oppresing darkness. The would-be ranger turns to the rest and ask "Any of you magical gifteds can make my sword shine or should I start lighting a torch? I can't see a blasted thing." Nonetheless, he takes point again at the front. Mechanics:
Moving to G8 and lighting a torch if nobody can use Light on my sword. OOC: Quick question, too: can I carry my greatsword with one hand while I carry the torch in the other? The idea is dropping the torch if combat starts. If that's a Nay, I will swap to the longsword. And another question that I just realised: are movement penalties cumulative? Because I have just realised that between my armor and medium load from not carrying the backpack in the cart I would be at 10, so every combat O'll have to drop it to move "freely"
Reacting with quickness, Alexander moved forward and turned, dashing the last meters until he was just by the creature. With a smug smile, Alexander prepared his sword and said "Got'cha." Mechanics: If I have not misread the map, using the Dash action I could end in the square adjacent to the thing. Quick question, if it is prone can it disengage as usual? I will follow and smack anyway next round, but I am curious.
"Thank you for your kindness, Count." said Alexander before turning to Wolfgang and winking at him. Using the connection that the "wizard" established, Alex thinks towards Wolfgang "What now, sir Wolfgang of the Gang of Wolves? We have a promise to keep with the Count's son... but the appearance of the dogs sure is strange."
Alexander, still reeling from the vicious attack, grabbed his sword and sprung to action.
Mechanics: Grabbing the sword -if that is an action by itself, Alexander would draw his longsword-, standing up and moving towards before attacking Dog #3
The disadvantage caused by the diseased condition applies to saves and attacks... does it apply to death saves? The root of the disadvantage makes me think so -I mean, you are deeply sick... you are screwed- but I wanted to be sure. Edit: I checked it... it actually seems to apply. Here.
Alexander felt the dizzyness overcome him as the fangs ravaged his flesh.
Mechanics: Using Second Wind and attacking Dog #1
Gritting his teeth, Alexander watched as the dogs approached.
The attack was wild indeed, but powerful too. Mechanics:
Alexander, who has been covering the slice with his bow alerted by the barking, dashes over when his companion informs them of the alive man. The warrior arrives late, though, and he assumes a guarding stance again as he asks "Who... who could have done this?" before checking if there are any tracks or clues around that could guide them. OOC:
Could we check for tracks around using Survival? If so... Mechanics:
"I concur, the pilgrims may have delayed for simple reasons... but if that's not the case I simply cannot step aside and let others do the job. Any additional information about their route would be much appreciated, my lord." says Alexander to the Count. "And please, extend my gratitude to your heir. Your son was a most entertaining host, and he left me with the impression that one day he'll become a good ruler and a better man."
"But we should remember our deal with the boy. The treasure shall be found!
Alexander, who has been eerily silent since the ambush, both because he had never killed another human before and after the revelations , finally speaks to answer the man at arms "I am not sure if you will be safer with us after the recent events... but you can count on me to protect this cargo until the keep. How many days of travel remain?"
Alexander draws his bow and shouts back "You offer surrender after firing at us? YOU surrender your arms if you want to walk through this unscathed and breathing, that's my answer!" Having said that, Alexander pulls the string twice in rapid sucession, flinging two arrows at one of the ambushers that carry no bow. Mechanics: Alexander uses Action Surge to gain a bonus action, which he proptly uses to make another attack. That means two arrows that go to S-4.
In response to Pip's joke and follow-up question, Alexander makes a gesture as if he was hanging himself. The would-be ranger then proceeds to down the mead directly "You two have no curiosity at all, except when finding out how much will we get paid?" he says with a smug grin as he raises an eyebrow.
"Your wise shaman is right, oh great leader. But we have intentions too: that your kind and ours may live in peace for years to come, and that you take what you need from the earth not from the farmers. But take this as an advice, not as an order." says Alex once the gift is presented and he has returned to the rest "I could help your people, teach them our ways of the hunter and how to work the ground to grow crops. And so can others of our own, the best to help your people so a definite truce can be achieved... and no man with ill intentions come after us and you can live in peace for generations."
Sorry for the lack of posting! I've been caught with my two final exams and couldn't even warn you -because I ran out of available data on my phone too... yay for me!- I will try to post tonight, but if I'm unable please just bot Alex as helping to the best of his abilities on the forging. By the way, could we forge a ring even if a crude one... and simply use illusion magic to mask it?
"We will leave to investigate, oh mighty leader, and will return when we have found the solution.... as both your people and ours can benefit from it." says Alexander to the goblin leader before trying to think for Wolfgang [i]"The orcish shield! It was magic! And I can try to forge a ring, but I will need a forge and a smithy. We should rush, as time is of the uttermost importance to solve this crisis."
OOC: Do we have to roll anything to notice how dis-comfortably furtive and furtively discomfortable is the shaman looking? Because I do want to force some goblin on goblin action with the sudden appearance of Mister Greatsword-to-the-face, a.k.a. me. By the way, I want to go ahead and say that I fricking lofe Wolfgang's each and every post.... like, seriously, you are my MVP forever.
Alexander steps forward and raises his head "We mean no harm, wise shaman, but we bring common purpose. Our people suffers from the water that flows from down under, our lands waterlogged and our crops rotting." speaks the fighter with honesty "We could have made our way here with the sword, or vould have provocked a cave in using magic... but instead we walked here peacefully to talk." "Can our people forget past aggressions today and work together to save both?"
"Four... curious. What's your name, boy? I am Alexander, an adventurer that fights orcs and beasts!" says Alexander while standing up and posing, trying to enrapture de boy "Me and my friends are travelling the Mire, looking for the evildoers behind the waterlogging. I do believe you have witnessed them... if you tell us exactly what you saw, you will be part of a tale of the Adventurers that Saved the Mire with the help of the courageous young warrior!"
OOC: Alexander will buy another Hanging Tent, which will go to the cart with the rest of stuff he keeps there. As for rations -or food and water for that matter- being an outdoorsman he will rely on his skill to cover that, and will try to provide for others if he can. Once we travel there, Alexander knows nothing of magic... but he knows of the wilderness, its hazards and its rules. When travelling through the Mire he will scout their surroundings, trying to discern if the place is usual for water loggings, as well as the presence or absence of animals. Basically I want to try and check if everything is usual, or there is any outside involvement be it manual labour provocking water to flow where it shouldn't or be it magic, which he could not know how but he may know that the situation isn't natural.
Alexander, a man who distrusts nobility and burgeosie, could at least respect the man's work hardened hands. He asks for a glass of Dragon's Blood, and downs it while looking at him straight in the eye, trying to contain even the slightest flinch. "Hot as a forgefire." he says. As Alex hears the job proposition he tries to discern the true motivation behind it. Even if Darius tried to act as he didn't care for anything but profit, his hands told another story... maybe he did care about the farmers. "If it is to help the farmers I'm in. But if we solve the problem would you add another glass of Dragon's blood? To celebrate, of course."
OOC:
Got caught with assignments! Sorry. Description:
Alexander will dress with his most expensive clothes. That's a clean white shirt more comfortable that fancy, one with rolled up sleeves and a cord around the collar, and plain brown long pants with pouches and straps to handle blacksmith tools. Paired with sturdy leather boots. Yay Fashion! He will reluctantly leave his trusty greatsword as well as the rest of his gear.
Alexander sits, visibly uncomfortable at the fanciness of everything adn everyone present. He asks for Elven blush and while sniffing the thing he says "This sure smells well, I prefer mead or simple spiced wine, but it's quite good." turning to Pip he comments on his stoic appearance "You look like an army officer, Pip, I'm almost tented to parade in your honor hahahaha!" Well, why do you think we are here?" he finishes lowering his voice, as he distrusts most nobles and know they like to snoop unseen.
Alex stares at the man "I get that the fear of losing Jelenneth is overcoming you, Andren. But sincerely and in all honesty I don't give two s#~#s about what you say about me, my friends or the rangers." he says while maintaining the stare "I don't do this for you, nor I do it so you all cheer me when we come back. I bled fighting the orcs so you didn't have to. And I am looking for Jelenneth because I care, I will keep fighting and helping because that's what I want to do... So talk as bad as you want of me and those who are helping us find her..." he says walking back to the table. "... But doing so won't bring Jenneleth home sooner, nor will it alleviate your fears."
OOC:
True enough, he said us his name... remember kids, never try to roleplay when you have just awoken. Alexander smiles at the merchant "You are right, Traxus, I seem to be forgetful at times. Well, I do believe my partners agree, we'll escort you." he says as he drinks his ale.
"We have veteran rangers helping us, and we'll find and bring her safe and sound. For now just keep calm, everything is going to be alright."
