Alrik of Karlsguard's page

Wasn't actualy aware of the part with the action points. But really Alrik dying is okay. As I'm in central Europe and all you guys are in the States this makes the game complicated for me. While this can work out it only does when either

a) the game moves at a 1-2 posts per player rate a day or
b) you guys post much during the day in the U.S. and not so much during the evening hours

Neither seems to be the case however. So that really cuts into our potential interaction window. So when I get up in the morning and there's 30+ posts it just doesn't work all that well I've learned that much in 8 years of PbP gaming.

In any case I enjoyed the game and it was nice to game with you guys perhaps we will meet again in the future!
While I wasn't gonna bow out my dude dying is a good excuse for me to say Saionara.

Well Alrik's a goner! Have a good one folks!

Alrik's dead...dead..dead... I was at 15 HP.

The monks attack cleanly lops the Paladin's head from his shoulders and the large man falls to the ground dead as a stump.

With a foes remaining standing and unwilling to give up Alrik aims to take him out.

Attack1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 Damage 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Goin to bed please NPC for the remainder of Encounter.

Was hoping he'd soon be out of blood but my roll was pathetic... better should a kept the one for the stinkin minstrel...

Alrik acting purely on instinct almost hadn't noticed the bard had tossed his weapon. seeing the Monk was still pestering his new Dwarven companion Alrik moved to quickly solve the problem.

You foul coward leave my friend alone!

Move WW Attack monk dude. Flanking applies 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 Damage 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Okay that was an elegant solution. Guess I'll kill whatever else is stalking about.

Ahh I see Minstrel gives up. Missed that part. If so Alrik of course wouldn't attack him. Sorry gotta get used to yyou're style of maneuvering combat.

Where's the issue? Alrik took out the minstrel who just now attacked him. Don't see where that is in disacord with any Paladin codes...

Hey unfair forgetting to apply AoO should go both ways... In any case LAy on hands for round 2 and round 3 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

Alrik looks over to the Minstrel and continues with his butchery as he brings his Glaive into position.

5ft. step south Attack1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Damage 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Move to F8 attack robed figure. Threatening so further casting will provoke

Alrik moves forward with his bardiche and takes a stab at the hooded figure.

Attack1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 Damage 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Forgot about the bless so that attack roll is actually a +1

In a tight spot with an unwieldly weapon Alrik lashes out at one of the mooks.

Attack dude 2 squares south of me 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Damage 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

AoO kindo have to be resolved before my action cause if one of the mooks drops Alrik can actually move into a position to attack the big bad guy.

The fastest way is us -them. Also I'm going to bed soon NPC Alrik if needed to push combat onward. Genral guide to his tactics:

Get into the thick of things to provoke as many AoO as possibly focus on Renard and power attack. As soon as I take a hit use Lay on hands to heal up.

No problem... that's the way of things. anyhow I don't feel like this encounter was ever supposed to end peacfully...

Initiative1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Remember Alrik will be provoking AoO if he loses ini and someone mves into his threatend area.

As Renard attempts to take a sip from Alrik's mug the Paladin pulls it away and poors the beer on the floor before him apparently getting rather agitated.

Okay. I tried to tell you nicely. Clearly you don't understand!

The young nobleman takes a step back and grabs the shafted weapon he had leaning against the bar.

GO F#~+ YOURSELF!

Just noticed that Alrik's Diplomacy roll would have been a 25 as I have a +8 to diplomacy ...oh well

Alrik can't even spell Duh right what did you expect...Actually being a noble son he prolly can, being semi educated his dumbness must manifest in other ways.
EDIT: LOL just noticed my typo...

1d20 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

There much better...

Knowledge 1d1 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1

Roll20 runs in realtime? If so that's a nonno for me as I'm in central Europe and can't post while sleeping (which I do for about 7 hours a day...)

Alrik combes back a strand of golden hair with his hand and replies in a tone becking no compromise.

Alrik of Karlsguard is no ones paige! Take a seat and be at peace.

For Alrik this conversation is over with.

Alrik enjoys a hearty laugh as he has a deep drought of the fine beer.

Where I come from adventurers of great renown, enjoy the respect of those who have heard of them. Also they tend to be generous and buy drink for those less fortunate!

The large man booms!

Anyhow none of us are adventurers of great renown such as yourself and sadly have already spent our last sorry pennies on our own drink! However we have come to brave the Mouth of Doom! So that is one less thing for you to worry about!

Diplomacy to calm the situation1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

A keen plan from a smart mind! Alrik replies to the Dwarf.

My name is Alrik of Karlsguard. Few foes will stand in my way in battle, but every strong leader needs good soldiers!

Then he throws the barmaid the puppy look.

Diplomacy aid another 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

The door of the inn barges open and a tall broad shouldered man with shoulder long blond hair, blue eyes and ruggedly handsome features steps in. He carries himself with the aire of a noble and wears a heavy chainshirt.

He looks around then flashes a suggestive smile in the direction of the bar maiden:

Hey sweety will you fix me an ale and whatever you have to eat. All this fresh air has got my appetite all worked up!

Seeing the ragtag group assembled around a table the man approaches. recognizing a few faces from the farry ride the man booms

Well you look like an unlikely group of companions! I bet you came here for just the same reason as myself! The call of adventure!

I'm here. Just been working all weekend. I'm currently reading the 60+ psts in the game forum!

Dotting for the time being. have to work today so no posts for now..

I think I'll arrive by fary as well. A shared fary ride should be good for getting to talk to other people and thus form a common basis for an adventuring group!

Ready to Adventure!

Done. Simplest Character I have built in a long time...

Yeah if both Meatshields use a reach weapon that's rather vicious. We go ahead take the front line and let the mooks come at us.

Grimmy how much tactics are you planning to allow in combat? I'm debating to pick up combat reflexes and wield a reach weapon. However that working in a PbP setting requires maps and that the GM look after such things as monster movement provoking AoO.

Alrik isn't done yet but he'll neither be very smart nor Knowledgable so I need to rely on luck alone:

1d20 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 5

1d100 ⇒ 27

I'm good. My first choice was a hexcrafter (without magical lineage actually). The standard Magus I wasn't really feeling it, just seemed kinda bland mechanically.

But really with the background I wrote I think playing a Paladin would be a lot of fun from an RP perspective. Also for a dungeon crawl a Paladin makes a lot of sense and is a strong choice mechanically so I'm happy.

As I stated I can easily play a Paladin. However he will not be focused on healing but he will be able to Ego-heal and would get into baddies face to take the beating for the rest of the crew so that might help some.

So with you're okay I'll scratch the Magus idea and look into a nice Paladin build that works for the existing Background. Not sure if I'll have it together by today but I can manage by tommorow.

Also I'll have to look into Thyr and Muir and how I can build them in.

Hey Grimmy. I've been thinking about making Alric a Paladin as I'm not really super happy with standard Magus and you seem keen on having a divine follower of whatever that deity was.

The background I thought up would also work nicely for a Paladin and I'd only have to swap out academy for temple and remodel some of the motives. Thoughts?

Also a Paladin is likely pretty kick ass for Dungeon Crawling.

Edit: Just noticed the forums must have screwed up when I made Alrik's profile...

Heya this is Alrik's profile. He's a level 2 Magus but I still have to make some changes as I can't take Hexcrafter.

Is Dervish Dance an allowed feat?
