Ariward Falconsflight's page

Thanks everyone! Sorry for being not very active.

Ariward decided to return back to his work as solicitor in Absalom. Gentle touch with documents and voluntary job made lots of good to common people of this great city. Unless, Society will call for him again!

Ariward turned and ran to the last slaver standing. "It's time for the final act", he said and tiny toy grew to a normal size, becoming a beautiful glaive with lots of colored ribbons.

Attack (-PA): 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 1 = 6 again?

Cannot update map, while mobile.

Ariward moved to help Grimaldus and made a swing with his sap, but this time he hit nothing.

Attack (-PA): 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 1 = 6

"Honest creature of other world nature," said Ariward, "you mentioned we need a password to go upstairs, but as we are here not to convey some evil act, could you please hint us with word or phrase that blocks our entry?"

Ask for favour
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Such a nice moment to ask for favour

I 5ft step away and ready to strike from flanking position
Ariward stepped aside and waited for a good oportunity to strike with his sap the one entering inside:
Attack (+inspire, +flank): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 18 DMG: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Ariward lost some precious moments, fighting with a gate door. "Bar the gnolls", was one of his main thoughts at the moment since there were nothing great in being stuck fighting two sides at once. After he secured the gate, he took his sap out and fastened short cord to its handle.

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Ariward tired of that march through the desert.

I will do better RP posts as soon as I fix some RL stuff this weekend

Ariward could not even run as fast as Blackjack. He tried to stop it throwing his whip in halfling direction, as trying to distract Gima, but missed. Than took his whip and walked back to other prisoners.

"Damn, short legged weasel", he walked back to camp, cleaning his face from a sand, "Lizards to eat your face!" he screamed a curse to the back of runner.

He stayed with other slaves, trying to act like enraged guard, when only gnolls appeared.

Seeing, that halfling is trying to escape, Ariward decided to ask the course of action from Blackjack, who was more comfortable in this situation, whispering:
"Should I go to check slaves bounds? If they got burns from the ropes, we might not sell them as good later."

Sorry for slow and low-RP posting. Some offline pop-up and I'm mobile-only for a while

Earlier

Ariward sent some boy to buy him mean-looking whip, manacles and simple black cloak. He put holy symbol of Shelyn deep under his shirt, not to be hanging around his neck. Should it be Sleight of Hand? Putting his backpack in a chest, he added morningstar from his belt. In alias, I do not have part of equipment called MWK Backpack

"I'm from Worldwound, and for purpose of this mission, I am highly disappointed in amount of payment I got there for my service," he started working on his legend, "I joined you guys to take a part of my reward I couldn't take from officer's quarters"

For his disguise, he asked Marra to help, how better to do it, but mostly it included putting some oil in his skin to make it more tan. He spend some time dirtying his breastplate and shoes. Take10 + Marra's Assist

Ashore

OK, here goes first check.. No standing still, just try to move easy...

Ariward was standing near the head of the group, in case he needs to speak. Probably Captain Jack and Master Grim felt themselves more comfortable, but he was a bit nervous. He took a look at gnolls: last time they fought, Svetlana was near and she were damn effective against those. Probably, they won't notice something in his mighty figure, wearing breastplate (not as shiny as previously), with sap in one hand, axe and whip on his belt. Manacles are hanging on the other side and mighty bow is behind his back. Half arrows in his quiver were blunt, but another half were deadly.

Marra's Assist to Disguise: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Disguise (Take10+Marra's kit+Inspire Competence+Aid): 10 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 19
Sleight of Hand (-armour penalty): 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 2 = 2 Tadadam!

As he moved around, holy symbol of Shelyn slide of his neck and felt on the ground.

Should I blame slaves or pay no attention? Damn! I should have checked knot before...

"My glaive will also attract more attention than needed," he waived with a mighty polearm weapon, that had lots of different colored threads and ribbons attached to its head. "I'd like you to make it unnoticeable, unless I call 'The final act'. "

Some of items from his possessions, Ariward decided to leave in lodge: Red and gold cloak, dark wool tabard with red rose and big folio called "The Measure and The Chain".

Ariward was lost during all this talk, but then he somehow returned to understanding how things go around.

"I definitely can hold my blow. Not that I ever trained with a whip, though I am comfortable with sap. I think, I can try to pose as a slaver, even if my heritage and outlook usually speaks of other allegiances. Great goddess Shelyn values any form of art and this will be my first step to going with art of deception and acting."

He thinks more about his weapons and hides his holy symbol deep under breastplate.

"Probably, I won't need them during this travel," he steps forward and pass a beautiful bouquet of red roses to Lady Darchana, "let they bring some beauty into your room.".

Ariward already bought his bouquet of roses and is waiting for start

Upon receiving Svetlana's gift, Ariward sends a nice bouquet of roses back to thank her.

Even working in this environment and dealing with lots of different stuff, where he couldn't help, paladin was thinking about Atlag, which is now free and how than he can use his knowledge to help others.

Ok, so with his level up, Ariward will put 1 skill point into Diplomacy, Intimidate, Knowledge (nobility), Profession (solicitor).
I'll think about other updates.

"Oh, I agree on how this goes," Ariward nods, "but we need to ensure that my aprenticeship term is not very long and suits us both. I have some plans upcoming Spring. Should we discuss this with Mahjub first or we can draft it right away?"

It's like a song, I can feel the rhythm, but don't understand those words, thought Ariward, Talking like this is a bit of art and a bit of performance. If I had enough time, I think I might combine some movements into dance around that

"Sorry for interruption, but are you taking a part-time students?", he asked, "I think, I'd like to get basics of your profession, while I'm staying in Absalom. I believe we can agree on reasonable pricing for that: I might do some paperwork, since I have some calligraphic skills"

Thanks for Chronicle!
Ariward becomes Paladin3 and finally get his Divine Defender abilities :)
And, he will be off from online games for a while, since I want to enjoy his new features in IRL

Ariward as well is very interested into helping Orophin, because he thinks that it's great do a good things and he likes to be part of it.

I think you mixed those ladies.
Atlag's owner is Lady Silviana Dimora, whose majordomo Milana, we been speaking. And Lady Darchana is Archdean of the Arcanamirium - old friend of the Society - who got us into this mission

"Oh, Orophin, that is a great deed and I will help you to accomplish it", said Ariward. He helped gnome slave to stand up and lead him out of the cargo hold.

"How you get into this, my dear friend?" he asked, trying to understand, why and where Pathfinder could be captured.

Probably, he was doing some assignment, when Muhlia found him and their paths crossed because of some ancient relic. We need to find out, where to head next to unwrap that knot of intrigues, paladin was thinking to himself.

Not this character. The one who played is crossed-through in my Alias tab

"I hit him hard with my sap," said Ariward, "probably he is not going to wake up, even if they will put manacles on him and put him in a jail. I'll take a look, can we free those prisoners", and he moved to check for keys to open manacles of those, who were chained in a hold.

Player: Tiaburn
Character: Ariward Falconsflight
PFS#: 34327-6
Faction: Silver Crusade
Craft (calligraphy): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 Oh, this should come during fight

Orophin, I don't think, you cannot shuffle me there. I've done my 5ft move on map and I cannot do another 5ft move.
I believe you still can attack Captain standing in doorway.
If not you can Acrobatic (tumble) past me and Adrianna or walk there provoking AoO.

Ariward moved inside small cabin, opening a possibility for others to attack the enemy. He pulled his sap in a mighty blow against enemy's head.

No action: 5ft step
Swift action: Choose Smite Evil Target Captain
Standart action: Attack (+bless, +smite evil): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 + 3 = 19 DMG: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

As he saw, his blow reached target, he dropped his sap on cabin floor, and touched Adrianna. Feint glow came between his fingers and she felt warm and heard a thin song of nightingale.

Free action: Drop an item
Move action: Lay on hands: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"Stay behind my shield", he said to Adrianna.
If she is attacked, she gets +2 shield bonus to AC (Immediate Action)

what about Ariwards Detect Evil radar. I made an intent sometime ago, but haven't seen result

Ariward was still planning to catch pirate alive for further investigation. He brought his sap making a swing.

Attack (bless): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Ariward moved to door and tried to sap outlaw captain

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 DMG: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

If I'm to far to reach room in move action, no attack then

Ariward looked around with his glowing-orange eyes, trying to feel what the evil hides inside.

Detect evil

Still feeling himself dizzy, Ariward drink one of the healing potions, he took from guard upstairs. Than he picked up a sap and spend some time to tighten knocked out beast handler.

"Is everyone OK?", he asked checking guy for manacle keys.

DMK, please roll healing, since I don't know was it CLW or CMW

hp 7/17; AC 19 (21 due to Protection from Evil)
Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Despite a slippery floor, Ariward managed to stand on his feet. He was really disturbed by creature hit, because it left a crushed feeling in his leg. He looked at creature and his eyes become to glow with a fiery-orange, he dropped sap from his hand.

"By the name of Eternal Rose!", he touched his leg and feint light came under his palm, "I'd like to have couple of barrels of that Chelaxian ale you promised me", he shouted for Svetlana's help.

After that, he took his cold iron battleaxe and placed a blow on unknown creature.

Free action: Drop sap
Swift action: Lay on hands Lay on hands: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Move action: Ready battleaxe
Standart: Attack (+bless): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16 DMG: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Ariward left his glaive on deck, because big weapon was not best choice for tight spaces, and walked in hold, preparing his shield and sap along the way. He could perfectly see in dark, so he stopped near Orophin, protecting him with his shield.

Move + ready shield, Move + ready sap.
First adjacent ally attacked, gets +2 shield bonus to AC, because of Ari's Saving Shield feat.
There is no way, I can beat Perception 25.

Paladin looked at Marra's face: "My goddess blessed this wand so life could be safe. Because, when life is cut short, the world's potential for beauty is lessened. I still hope, they could be redeemed."

Ariward took healing potions after Orophin's hint and looked around to find a rope: "I will tie him now, when he is safe and then we can go down. Probably, we can find a mentioned captive Pathfinder"

I will follow party after I finish with half-orc

"They still need to face the law", said Ariward, trying to stabilize bleeding half-orc, but wound done Svetlana's hit was so deep, that blood was pumping between his fingers.

Heal to Stabilize: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Seeing that, his healing capabilities are low, he took out small wand and touched unconscious sailor. Blessed energy filled body and pirate was no longer dying.

CLW from wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Wow! How it comes, Svetlana does so much damage on lvl4?
I can see +8 (double STR) from Two-handed fighter, +6 from PA, where another 4 comes?

Ariward stepped forward and used his glaive to disarm opponent, who used his spear to stab his companion.

Disarm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Ariward stepped forward to free up some space behind his back for others to join and to work back to back with Svetlana. He, was standing like a spring, ready to act on first opportunity.

"We come to bring you to justice. This ship is being held due to taxation issues. Surrender and put down your weapons! Otherwise, we will be forced to use ours."

Ariward's noded: "Everyone fights it's own demons. Some are born with bad heritage, but strive to do things rights, despite of all odds. Personally, I am fighting with temptation to use all power available to bring world to justice and beauty. Anyway, as I said, I don't want to give a chance for wily devil than require me pay him back for moment of my weakness."

He took out of his belt pouch a potion, decorated with crossed yellow and red ribbons, and drinks it, saluting to Svetlana: "No offence? Let the beauty protects us as we are striving to protect the beauty."

Potion of Protection from Evil

"I have my own potion for better swimming, just in case", Ariwards shuffles his possessions and puts one potion on top of his belt pouch, "I'd like to have your connections in Society to get some of those air crystals later, they are pretty rare as I understood. But please, keep that devil healing thing of me - I don't want to have any debts to a filthy brood."

He puts his shield on his shoulder, and fixes glaive on a strap.

"If no one minds, I'll go second with Svetlana", he said, thinking "this way I might protect everyone, before she rushes into a fight, where problem could be solved by couple of words"

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Ariward carefully checks, how good is ladder fixed

"My best compliments, lady Darchana", bowed Ariward, "we'll do our best to bring that outlaw to order. "

"Master Orophin and his companions are here on behalf of Pathfinder Society to discuss issue of private matters with lady Darchana. She is aware of our visit, but since time was not agreed before, she might not expect us right now", Ariward made a greeting gesture, holding his glance in one hand and rose bouquet in right.

Diplomacy (aid): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 auto-aid

"I ask your formal permission to spend some time investigating rumors about captive Pathfinder. If our colleague is in danger, we should give him a helping hand", asked Ariward, "but if you have someone else to take care about that, I will understand and accept your decision. I feel the importance of our mission is quite high"

He nodded and waited for Ambrus to answer.

Ariward counted himself as a wise guy, but he totally lost the idea behind all that glare of formal language constructions and was standing aside, waiting for conversation to end.

First time, I feel my English is not enough to follow without dictionary...

Earlier
"Ladies, you are so brutal.. We came, bringing roses and they open doors for us and open peoples lips... Let's continue this way, so no one gets hurt. Violence is not a solution, this is only answer for those who are unable to pay attention and listen voice of reason."

In Salbus' office
"Good day to you, sir Solvius. We need to speak with you about some private thing regarding one of your current clients and you probably would like to cooperate with us, since it could bring you in black light if exposed. Could you find a vase for those, and meanwhile Orophin will start?", and Ariward passed flowers across table.

Diplomacy (aid): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 Autoaid

As they left Mahdi's place, Ariward asked his friends:
"I think we should report about enslaved Pathfinder back to Grand Lodge... They probably will verify and decide, should we stay on our mission or follow that one. Both assignments are equally important..." it seemed, that aasimar wanted to be in two places at once.

"You weren't so brave, when that half-orc was holding your jaw", Ariward wasn't threatening, but he had his point: "Currently, you opened zero information about Atlag or anyone else. You send us to search for some pirate in port without any proof that we will find answers there. And I paid precious pearl for your life, so I think you should be more cooperative. And remember, we can read that ledger if you are unconscious anyways"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
10 if I should roll Intimidate instead

Ariward echoed, same time as Cacumattus: "Wait, someone enslaved a Pathfinder?"

"Looks like your business is pretty dangerous, have you considered a change? I could put a word for you, if you'd like to become gardener, for example,", said Ariward, "see, how beautiful this roses are?"

Ariward's speech main target was to comfort a man, whose life just recently been priced at 50 gold pieces.

"This rare black pearl cost a bit more", said Ariward reaching his belt pouch, "but I'm ready to exchange Mahdi's jaw for it ".

It was hard, but he managed to find one of pearls he needed and showed that to half-orc.
