Hi everyone, Real-life has once again cast its Interposing Hand spell and I'm afraid that I will have to bow out of this game. Feel free to use the recruitment thread to find a replacement. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, and good luck with the campaign! Regards,
Andrezzi quickly repels down to grab the youngster!
"Sure thing. Hang on friend," says Andrezzi, hoisting the lad effortlessly in a practiced fire brigade carry. "Now with your left hand, just grab a hold of your left pant leg, and relax. I'll do the rest." Andrezzi then proceeds to climb back the hill, both hands on the rope.
Yep, that was me 100% screwing up while trying to do 4 things at once! :)
Andrezzi inspects his own hemp rope, uncoiling it from his backpack. Satisfied he wasn't sold a defective cable, he attaches it to a nearby tree and begins his descent.
Andrezzi gives the rope a solid tug, then begins to repel down the muddy hill.
Along the way, he pulls the rope out of the mud where it's buried, so as to make everyone else's job more easy.
Andrezzi points to the dead man's gear, asking if anyone wants to bear the sword or coins.
"This has been forged by a master. As you can see there's not one spot of rust on it. Anyone needs a sharp sword?"
"Oh! my ankle feels much better now... I... can actually put my full weight on it again... how did you..." stammers Andrezzi, taking a few steps around the camp, not believing the relief granted by Florence's ritual.
"Let's finish our night's rest. We can then return to town with the wolf pelts and perhaps get those wounds taken care of in exchange, hopefully. There's no point traipsing around in the wilderness on existing injuries."
Andrezzi steps to the north, eyeing the wolf's unprotected hindquarters, in the beginnings of a flanking maneuver. He strikes.
Andrezzi rises, steps to the westernmost wolf, and brings down his sword.
==========================
Andrezzi groans in pain, and swings!
Andrezzi gets up and moves next to Therin, drawing his sword. He shouts,
Since things seem to have slowed down for many in this game, I think a dungeon would inject some adrenaline a little here. We are somewhat limited by what we can do at this time as I am guessing the adventure is not a full sandbox with fully detailed NPCs, boxed texts, etc.?
Dungeon crawl part of this adventure approaching yes? :)
Andrezzi nods and steps forward upon being mentioned by the man. "That is correct. I have some experience as a tracker and would be happy to help look for the missing sons while the rest of the town secures their provisions."
Andrezzi goes to the men preparing the expedition. "Would you gents welcome an additional tracker in your group? I'm willing to help if this would be alright with you all."
Andrezzi recognizes a funeral shrine when he sees one. Somberly he draws his large sword and plants it into the ground before kneeling before the shrine in prayers.
Yes please! thank you!
Andrezzi, sword drawn, immediately begins to inspect the area to look for hidden spellcasters.
"What trickery is this? I have no wound on my chest... my shirt isn't even torn! TRICKSTER! COME OUT OF HIDING! NO FURTHER FIGHTING NEEDS TO COME OUT OF THIS, BUT STOP NOW BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT!"
Andrezzi appears momentarily confused by the sorcerer's declaration that the enemies are not there, but feeling the wound on his chest, he decides to see these foes - real or imagined - to their end, and quickly.
Andrezzi gasps at the unusual energy flowing through him. Never before had he sensed such hope in concentrated form. Unwittingly, a smile forms across his weathered face, his left foot shifting forward as he begins to prepare a counterattack.
Andrezzi tries to hold the orcs at bay with his large sword while carefully studying the movements of the orc wearing the red bandana. At an opportune moment he attempts a tentative strike, but he does not let his guard down as he feels the ample blood running underneath his shirt! Looking quickly back at his companions, he shakes his head, indicating to them he will not hold long, "Run! take the kids to safety. I will delay them with what's left of me!"
More than fine with that. You can bot me anytime, even if it hasn't been 12 hours since my last post, if this allows you to move the game along! (melee types don't get offended when you swing the sword for them! :P)
I hope folks will at some point settle on the usual 'one post per day' standard, especially during fights... one post per week make a battle, how shall I say, a tad anticlicmatic! ;)
Andrezzi moves forward and stops between two rows of bushes, right in the middle of the path, drawing his bastard sword as he goes and taking position to block their advance.
Feel free to move along now and assume she took ten! :)
Andrezzi brings several long branches and ferns to camouflage the barrels and crates the captain intends to leave behind. When everyone is packed, he does a final sweep of the camp to clean any remaining sign of their presence.
Andrezzi nods to Florence, happy to see others care about the young children. "What do you say girls? a good hot stew to warm our hands and our bellies yes?"
Amazing roleplay by everyone so far and great storytelling by the GM! can't wait to see what's next! :)
Andrezzi skinned the rabbit well outside the camp, mindful of the children. He gathered a few fragrant herbs and mixed the slabs of meat with them in a waxed burlap pouch, along with some ground pepper and salt borrowed from his trail rations. He would have kept a rabbit's foot for each of the children if he had access to some basic taxidermy equipment, but alas, not here in the wide open. Returning to the camp with one last mournful thought for the animal he had injured with his snare, he located a straight, thumb-thick branch from a nearby sapling and sharpened it on one end, stripping all the bark along its length. He skewered the fragrant, marinated chunks of meat on the three-foot stick and, nodding to all those assembled, sat by the fire and held it over the flames. "There should be enough for three of us here, or for the Clios and their two daughters, if they all care for some..." says Andrezzi, his words trailing into an unspoken question, as he tries to force a smile at the girls.
Andrezzi checks his snares one by one, removing the steel wires at each location so as to use them again somewhere else another day. He keeps his ears peeled towards the direction of the camp, just in case, stopping frequently to stop his breathing in order to better listen.
Andrezzi listens to the complaints of the Captain and guests in silence, sharpening his large hand and half sword while keeping his back to the fire so that his cloak dries out on full. It did not matter much to him that the journey included dampness, morning dew and cold nights: if there was even a shred of truth to the rumor that his son had been taken to the new lands they were headed into, these minor inconveniences were a cheap price of admission for the opportunity to investigate. After his sword care was complete, the large man rose, sheathed his sword, nodded to everyone, strung his bow and headed into the forest to check on a few rabbit snares he had installed the previous night.
@GM: we are starting at level 1 yes? which modules are we doing again? PS: House on Hooked Street was perhaps my favorite module to run (granted, I have mostly ran APs in the past, but House on Hooked Street felt like a mini-AP, with really cool story and situations...)
Hello everyone! Updating Andrezzi now with Iron Will for the bonus 1st level feat (instead of race point option). I'm also bringing him up to a 25 pt. build. I have no problem being the dual front-liner / trapfinder. NOTE: my only foreseen problem as front-liner is a relatively low AC. He will no doubt invest in a mithral breastplate at some point but that will never replace a fullplate. Be aware of this and try to have his back with some occasional healing so that he stays upright! :) NOTE2: character update complete.
Hi NotEspi, PDK here. I'll be playing Andrezzi Alazzario, a Slayer 1. I just noticed you're allowing 25 pt. buy so I'll have to bump him up... probably his Wis and Cha and perhaps a bit more of Dex. I'm not sure if I'll pick +2 to a stat, a race point or an extra feat: I'll fine tune this as the others make their own character come alive! :) Perhaps it would be a good time to take a slight dip into a Teamwork Feat, since the feet is free anyway, and they can really make a party awesome with the right selection! Regards,
I've also seen certain players ditch AC altogether (or saves). We're talking front-liners with 9 AC here. Then they whine when the cleric stops healing them (after telling the cleric, earlier, to stop telling them how to play their PCs) LOL you reap what you sow! :)
Applying with this Lawful Good slayer right here. Background story under the alias! Will pick a campaign trait for him shortly and fix a few things. Strange Aeons fits this guy has he had experienced tremendous loss in his personal life... maybe he even agreed to undergo memory wipe! :)
Story time. Once, a long time ago, and in an organized play campaign that shall remain nameless, was a jaded table where no one roleplayed. After about an hour of trying to get the players to pay attention and to stop talking while he was describing a room, the GM silently got up, grabbed his coffee, and said, "I'll be back in a few minutes.". Three hours later, the GM returned to the deserted table, dropped a pile of signed chronicle sheets, and packed his stuff. Legend has it that he got a standing ovation.
Parenting is literally a form of slavery!Conscription is literally a form of slavery.Slavery is not merely being forced to do something you don't want to do. If it were, then parents would be enslaving their children for making them clean their room. Parenting is required by law. Slavery is not required, just optional for those who wish to own slaves in areas where it is not illegal. It would be interesting to find out if there was ever a jurisdiction that forced citizens to own slaves... or children! (I know the latter to be true: up to the mid 50's families were strongly encouraged to keep adding numbers to their families, even after the poor woman had already given birth to 14 kids... not sure if it was law, but it was a strong component of North American colonization...)
Her argument that it is evil to conscript to defend against a nation that has been brainwashed to kill other nations 'because they are not of pure blood' is utter nonsense. Google Third Reich for additional details. In game terms, conscription is the ultimate lawful act... a lawful neutral's secret hope at night before he/she goes to bed. By conscription all are equal and part of a military structure; a true meritocracy from a lawful neutral's perspective (and by chaotic neutral's standards, a flawed view as it's really an autocracy in their view, albeit one with a really good senior management selection process...) ;)
DM Default: is this for Pathfinder Society? I don't see that chronicle sheets for this AP online.
Andrezzi updated to level 2 - wasn't sure how much gold we could use at level 2 (if we just get 1st level starting gold I'll take out the bow and mw thieve's tools)
awesome! let me know if Andrezzi should get an upgrade! ;)
