Amiri of the Six Bears Tribe's page

I'll make a roll now, despite not being added to the map

Amiri rages! Charging at the lead troll, she chops at it with her oversized blade.

To hit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (5, 2) + 19 = 26

As much as I'd like to RAGE! I don't seem to have a mini on the map!

Hey everyone. I'm really sorry for vanishing off the face of the planet for a little bit.
So finals week turned more into finals week and a half. That always ends up being a huge time loss, and I tend to lose track of time during that period. Which brings us to graduation. I'm an undergraduate, and I would have graduated this year, had I not taken a semester off during the height of Covid. None of my friends, who were also seniors, took that time off. So all of, and I mean literally all of my friends have graduated. And since none of us are initially from Ohio in the first place, they've all left/are leaving very soon. I, on the other hand, am graduating next semester, in the middle of the school year.
After finals, I spent most of my time either dreading everyone leaving, or spending as much time as I could with them. It was very bitter-sweet, and I won't bore with details, but I said I'd throw myself back into the forums when they were gone. That time has come.
I am beyond thankful to have got the chance to meet these incredibly talented, intelligent people. Some of them even helped me carry my belongings the two miles to my new apartment! I found a location to live in, and all in all it's pretty nice. A bit lonely, but nice.

I'm back now, and should have even more free time than before, but I get if that level of flaking out is enough to make you reconsider having me as a player. I'll respect your decision either way!

I totally would :)

I guess that means Amiri can have entered into accurate stance of rage ahead of time then by loosing a round of rage for the fight. I'll do that.

"You're in charge chief. But I don't like not charging in." Amiri attempts to bean a rock off the head of the one that Pyros shot at, using her sling.

Sling: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

"What's the plan then chief?"

A bit of DR and a good cleric go a long way!

Schmuck: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Damage: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (7, 8) + 19 = 34
Mirror Image: 1d3 ⇒ 2
50% miss chance, 2 is good: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

"Okay, a different trick might work on me once, but not twice!"

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Rats

Hew: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Damage: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (7, 1) + 19 = 27
Mirror Image: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Oof.

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 Nice!

Amiri charges after the Dryad. Armor class wasn't as important as beating the enemy into a pulp. +2 to hit, -2 to AC

"Same trick won't work twice on me!"

Hack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20
Damage: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (2, 2) + 19 = 23

Pretty relatable for any profession at the moment

Charge the spell caster. Who cares about AoO's, she is not putting another enchantment on me.

Swing: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
Stab: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (6, 6) + 19 = 31 Look at that symmetry!

Amiri runs up to the Dryad. She was raging before, but now she's ANGRY, and mad, thrusting her sword at the fey's sternum.

I think it's a full round action to try and break out? So next turn for sure! Unless she hits me with another copy of the spell, but what are the chances of that?

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

"Look at me Gorum!"

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Had me worried there it was something real nasty!

Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Makes up for earlier I guess!

-2 damage from DR already included?

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 Oh dear

Hah! This one didn't break in one hit! Weakened it up for one of you though!" Amiri, totally uncaring about the AoO she'll provoke from the spider near her charges the one attacking Harrim. Gotta give the DM some more to hit rolls after all, and protect the cleric!

Big Spider Softener +2 if charge: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Arachnid Assault Confirmation +2 if charge: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Too much damage: 4d8 + 19 + 19 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 3) + 19 + 19 = 48
Yeez. Anyone remember her crit bark?

Amiri goes wheeling around, charging at one of the bigger spiders
Spider Smack(+2 if I can charge): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Blurch!: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (7, 7) + 19 = 33

Charging another spider, since I go after everyone else pick a tactical target for me after they go GM!

Attack Roll(2 higher if I can charge): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Gunch: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (1, 8) + 19 = 28

Move action activate accurate stance
Attack roll: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Smoosh: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (8, 8) + 19 = 35

"Wham! Splat!"

"Blood for Gorum!"

Amiri rages, and charges in.

To hit: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Damage: 2d8 + 19 ⇒ (5, 2) + 19 = 26

Unfortunately, the Barbarian's swing goes pretty quite wide.

AC is currently 16 because of the charge

Unfortunately, as much as I'd love a +1 flaming bastard sword, I will wait until we find an enchanter to enchant Amiri's sword. Sentimental value, and all that.

"Bah. Too much downtime. Nothing to do..."

Since I'm not an advisor, can I spend time spent working on problems doing HP training?

"With pleasure!"

"You're right chief." Amiri's knuckles unclench, her teeth ungrit. Almost as an afterthought she adds to The Storyteller. "Sorry."
--
"So your grace, everyone else has a role to play here. Anything I can do to help you out? Or maybe Cordova has something for me to do? I don't want to lose my edge."

I certainly wouldn't say no to the Con belt, but it might be better on someone who has lower HP! The baron's survival is most important after all. And at some point, I'm going to try and get my oversized sword enchanted.

Amiri bristles further. A vein throbs on the back of her hand. "Simple campfire tales? Where I come from, we don't have paper or letters. "Simple" campfire tales is the only way we know our history. Campfire tales is how we learn about our fight against the giants." Kellids don't have writing, they seem to be a purely oral culture.

"Feh old man! Who cares if the stories are changed and embellished? What's more important, preserving how things were, or how things should have been? If you want history, go write a book. We Kellids know that a good story is only as good as the storyteller, and Linzi here is the best at it."

Amiri continues muttering to herself. "What good is a storyteller who won't even tell stories? It's as bad as a barbarian without a sword."

Reg can have the general position, he'll probably do a more tactical job of it than I ever could.

"Haven? Isn't that the place that angels or whatever come from?" Amiri scowls at her own misinterpretation. "We're no angels. I say Stagfall. Even though you left me to guard the trading post. You better take me on the next fight, or else we're going to have a problem, understand?"

"We should name ourselves after what we are. Like my tribe. It was named Six Bears, after the six bears our first chieftain killed. couldn't find a reason on any of the wikis, so I made something up We should name our tribe something similar. Something easy to understand the meaning of so the people can say that they are proud to be members of our tribe!"

That is great!

Funny! Looks like Regongar would be best suited to be reagent! I would think that the Baron would want that role though? I'm only good at being a general myself, but I'm happy to cede that role to Reg if he wants it more/it makes more sense in RP. Always thought generals should be int based anyway...

Unrelated in terms to the builders guild offer, that is very generous, the only downsides I potentially see are them overcharging us later leaving us still obligated to work with them, as well as the player wanting there to be a clause that the party members would be able to perform construction themselves should the need arise.

I'm kind of a sucker for optimizing Kingdom building planning, and enjoy some of the gritty details, the hex exploration, establishing trade routes, stuff like that, but I totally get wanting the DM to do it. As long as we can chime in every once and a while with ideas on what to build, I'm happy.

"Hm. They trained Kassil to use swords? Maybe not all of these diplomats are completely useless."

"What do you need an advisor for? Your chief now, or baron, or whatever you want to call it. We're strong, we don't need outsiders telling you how to run your own tribe. Can't be worse than the one I left, may Gorum shatter their bones..."

We're about thiiis close to Amiri punching someone, I'm sure that would take the focus off of the "barbaric greenskins."

"Haven't had a good fight in Gorum knows how long. Leave me at that old man's trading post? I don't know how much more of these windbags I can take." She pauses muttering to take a long swig of ale. "River kingdom softies."

"Make whatever trouble you want, as long as it doesn't interrupt my business with this mutton." A sharks grin creeps across Amiri's face. "Or cause enough of a scene that a good brawl gets started! Just don't expect me to go easy on you!"

My word! Makes me glad to be a simple barbarian instead of a barrister :)

Hey I get it! I'm in a way less strenuous field of study that requires way less work to break into it, and I get overwhelmed by work sometimes.

What's the status of the game?

"Now you're speaking my language! If you go get something to drink, bring back some for me!"

"If you're going to fight about religion, do it somewhere else. You're disrupting my meal." Amiri wipes her hands on the tablecloth. "If nothing matters in the end, then what's important is I enjoy my food here and now. And if the individual moment matters before the end, then both of you are making it hard to enjoy this lamb." Amiri gulps down some ale. "I'd move, but I shouldn't have to."

I'm so sorry! I missed my cue, but I'm still here

Amiri seems to have already wandered off to find food. You find her sitting with her elbows on the table. Despite the provided silverware, she seems to prefer eating with her fingers. At her side is her signature oversized weapon. Her hair looks like someone might have tried to take a brush to it, but gave up almost immediately. Perhaps Svetlana had made an effort? Barely looking up at Regongar as he approaches she says,
"Your talk with Lady Jamandi was getting stale, much like this bread would have if I hadn't liberated it. If you're going to join me, I'll want you to tell me about the battle you must have had with the Stag Lord. It was quiet at the fort when you left, and I'm afraid that between all this feasting and waiting I'll go soft."

Despite the barbarian's protestations about her physical capabilities, she looks just as dangerous as ever.

I'm very sorry to hear that. The holidays can be a rough time for people. Please stay safe out there.

On a slightly happier note; any idea when I'll get to join in the gameplay thread?

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the States!

Getting very close now!
