Algret Durthane's page

I was under the impression that everyone was sort of following Vex and Li...that they were both going in the same direction towards old town..at least for the moment.

Hi Iziak,

I am going camping thurs-sunday of this week. Can you take over Algret until I get back? I also just realized that her money did not "save" for what ever reason and that I forgot to level up in skill ranks. I will update skills before I leave and re-calc cash when I get back

In Dwarven

huuffahuffahuffa..."Hey Li, High Pockets" huffahuffahuffa "how 'bout slowing down a tad" huffahuffahuffa "for those of us whose legs" huffahuffahuffa "arn't 3ft long" huffahuffahuffa "like Goburn and I" huffahuffahuffa....

Might I suggest that Li takes the lead? My dear you seem to know this city very well."

"Swim" She says looking slightly ashen. "Maybe the fire wouldn't be so bad after all....ummmm....I tend to sink but I guess I am willing to try."

"y'know the other thing that happens is that the mob torches the castle with the artificer inside....Maybe our little green friend knows another way out. One, not heading into the angry mob?"

"Alright" Algret Grumps, "If the rest of you are in agreement, I will go along with it, but under protest. From burning buildings it is just a slippery slope away from forming mobs, grabbing pitchforks and chasing helpless constructs through the countryside." Mumbles under her breath "no good can come it.."

"I agree with two out of three points. I am having a hard time with burning the place to the ground. Why do we need to resort to arson when we have done nothing wrong" Algret, says looking at you with intense, idealistic, hazel eyes.

Does anyone mind if I try the shield. It is much better crafted then the one I currently have?

Hi Iziak

I just wanted to say, I am having a great time in the campaign. This is a great first experience for me in PbP.

I empathize with you over the quick take out on the big bad guy. I just ran a short campaign where the PCs' took out the big bad guy and his cronies without breaking a sweat. However, they were almost killed off by stirges. Go figure.

I apologize for posting out of turn, but I will not get computer time again until late this afternoon or early evening. When it is Algret's turn insert the following:

Algret lets off a dwarvish battle cry, darts around Skazz and swings her mighty warhammer at the Orc Barbarian.

She rolls d20 and gets a natural 20 and rolls another natural 20 on confirmation (I have not had a good critical in the last two years of gaming, WAHOO!!!!!) 3d8+3=(1+7+5)+3=16

Corvin: Would you like help with aiming that spell of yours?

if yes, then Algret casts her guidance orison on him. It lasts one minute or until discharged and offers a +1 to hit, skill check or save of the recipients choice

Whispers intensely "Avengers Assemble! Ummm...Sorry. I don't know where that came from...ummm. May Torag bless us as we enter this battle! Ready."

loosens the warhammer.
"umm...just a reminder, I am down to bandages and skill for healing...sorry..."

" plus one. There are at least two creatures touching the earth behind that door."

"I will try but surprise is not my forte'"
d20=14?

Also, when the group gets to the end of the hall, Algret will try to use earth sense to detect if their is anyone touching the earth in the immediate vicinity of the door.

hmmm...acrobatic check..i think not, even with a low center of gravity this does not look good plus dawrves tend to sink...quickly...

Gathering as much dwarven dignity as possible, Algret kneels down and crawls. if we get into a fight she is going to set on her rump and hurl acid darts from a safe distance....after all, they have to get through Skazz and Li first:-)

"I would concur. However Glark, Why are you leading us outside and why are you so eager to help?"

"in that case..."
She starts whispering another healing prayer to Torag

1d8+1=5 hp now at hp 12.

"hmmm...now that's better"

cure light wounds 1d8+1=6 which brings me back up to 7 hp.

Feeling like she can speak and stand again she whispers, "Does anyone else need healing? I only can do this one more time today. Goburn, Skazz, how are you both doing?"

Algret is sort of oblivious to all that. IF there is chair she will slowly and gently set down it, place her head between her knees and try not to throw up. If no chair: then slowly slide down a steady convenient wall that is not spinning to much. Once she catches her breath, she will start repeating a slow steady prayer in dwarvish to Torag for healing (thus casting a cure light wounds spell).

It is 1d8+1/lvl do I roll it, do you roll it

Algret swings her mighty warhammer once again. She aims for the bugbear that has moved towards her (taking a five foot step if necessary) and mutters a soft prayer to Torag that she does better than the last time...

1d20+1=19 hit
1d8+1=5 pts of damage

Algret draws her warhammer and swings at the bugbear who attacked her.
To hit 15+1=16 needed 17, miss
and mutters the fatal words "uh oh"

I know I am out of turn but I may not get to post tomorrow morning...so when it is Algret's turn she is going to..

"hey, leave him alone you dung of a carrion crawler. He may be a disgusting little gobber but for the moment he is our disgusting little gobber. Eat acid"

Fire another other acid dart 14+0

Also going to look back and make sure we are not flanked or surprised from the hallway.

Pokes Skazz in the ribs and whispers with a twinkle in her eye "Hey, high pockets...if you need a little help getting that famous battle rage up, I could kick you in the shin or something. Don't worry about it. I hear it happens to a lot of guys..." and nudges him towards the door...

Excellent. If Skazz and Goburn go first, I can watch there back and maybe Li and Corvin fire at any body coming out from the other rooms...Just a suggestion...but LETS GET 'EM!

whispers "Get 'em boys, we can cover you"

So what do we do now? As I first mentioned, I am completely new at play-by-post. Do we hang tight and wait for responses? Do we run them as NPC's? Do we each come up with an additional character? etc. etc. Inquiring minds and all that...

ummm....niether liandra or algret are the heavy front line types. Would someone with better AC, HP and attack bonus mind going in first???

Algret adjusts her shield, loosens her battle hammer and summons an acid dart to throw..

Whispers an intense "Ready!"

"Pssst.."
Motions with her hand to come here.
Whispering. "There are at least 3 creatures on the other side of the door. However, our little gobber neglected to mention that on both sides of the hallway there seem to be 3 or 4 more in other rooms behind the walls. I cannot tell you if they are goblins or other vile creatures. If we attack they may be drawn to the fight. Should one or two of us hold back to fire at them as they come out of the rooms??"

Whispering to Liandra specifically and the group in general.
"Just a moment and let me see what the earth can tell us"
Algret bows her head, prays silently to Torag.

and uses earth sense to determine the number of creature within 20 ft touching the ground. The description doesn't state if that is in a straight line, circular radius, circumference etc...Willing to take DM's ruling on mechanics...just happy I actually get to try it

"hmmmm...I am not sure if he means big as in size or as in status...but either way it may be wise if Goburn or Skazz lead the way. Liandra, would you be willing to check the door for interesting surprises that our little Gobber may have forgotten to tell us about?"

Algret gathers up her treasure, all while quietly muttering thanks to Torag. She secures her shield summons up an acid dart and follows Liandra. Algret is paying close attention to right and left flank as we go through the doorway, holding to fire if anything tries to flank us.

Does anyone care if we just swap the goblin equipment for gold pieces per Iziak's suggestion? We can just add it to totals...it would be easier and faster than tracking equipment and selling it at the end...

"Little one, I would talk if I were you...I do not think my words will stop either Skazz or Liandra this time"

Algret walks over and starts dividing loot into 5 nice neat piles equal to 19 gp and 9 sp each.

"Does anyone want to double check my counting? I think it looks pretty fair...."

So little vermin, unless you wish to return to dangling by the throat from my friends ever tightening fist....why don't you tell us how many goblins lair here, where you keep your stolen goods, and where is the Cleric for the Lady of Monsters? I would be quick if I were you. I am not sure how patient my tall friend is feeling today...

Tapping Skazz on the hip and looking UP: "Easy there high pockets, if he cannot breathe he cannot talk. Also if, he gives us the information we seek (she looks pointedly at the dangling and gasping goblin) he will have kept his part of the terms of surrender. We cannot kill him or we risk becoming that which we hate. We CAN tie him up, stuff him in a sack and take him to the magistrates once we have the Harrow deck as evidence...Many birds, one stone as my grandmother says."

I say we send the chanter onto a higher plane, may-torag-bless-and-purify-his-corrupt-little-soul-on-his-fiery-forge-of-re making, and question this eager one (poking a conjured acid dart at the goblin who surrendered)

If the door burst open Algret summons an acid dart and will launch it at any of the little green vermin she can (avoiding firing into any melee her new friends are in as her Dex is not the good)

If the door does not give, she nudges skazz with her elbow and whispers "hey hi pockets, need a little help with that?"

If the door does not open she will use artificers touch to give 1d6 damage to the door and the lock and then Skazz can try again. I will not get a chance to post again until late tonight/early tomorrow morning due to work. If melee ensues and things are moving fast, Algret will try to stay towards the back and fling acid darts. If a goblin closes she will switch to the warhammer. She will freely use your heal skill, healers kit, and cure light wounds on teammate as needed.

Algret loosens her warhammer and gets ready to call an acid dart to her hand, all the while wondering which of her new companions will need her healing capabilities first.

"If chaos is approaching, it is more imperative than ever that we clean out that nest of goblins. It is never good to have the enemy on your doorstep and in your house at the same time."

I completely agree with Goburn. Let us discuss hypothetical enemies on our way to rid the world of real vermin.

I think your words ring true! I for one would enjoy the chance to strike a blow against those vermin. It is even more blessed that it is a holy quest against the Lady of monsters! I shall help to over throw this evil cleric in Torag's name.

DM

Sniffs the wine slightly disdainfully. Pulls out her water/ale skin and takes a swig to wash down the slightly overly dry bread. she announces to the group, "If you do not want the watered down grape juice, I do have some good dwarven ale. You can help your self." She hold out the water skin. "just please leave some for others".....

To no one in particular: "Nice incense but I would have used more dandelion and less hibiscus...this is just a little too sweet...
Oooh, what's in the basket?"

She reaches down to pull off the cloth, in the hopes of finding a nice dark ale!

Skazz and Corvin:
Algret calls to the overly tall half orc. "Hello, is this your house?"
turns to the human and extends her hand for a firm, quick handshake "Hello, my name is Algret,Priestess-of-Torag-may-he-bless-your-life-with-bounty-and-you-craft- with-great-skill, are YOU the person who left me the invitation?" all the while slowly walking into the house and looking around assuaging her curiosity...

sorry, fogot to switch the avatar over...
