I want to attempt a wrestler/fighter of varisian descent. (can we say Zangeif?). That is what I would like to try. Monk/fighter but I want to be able to go back and forth. Can we do that with a feat or something? If not, then I guess I will stick to Monk.
Second Darkness is fine by me. Personally I would prefer Beta Rules, but am willing to go 3.5 if once again that's where the consensus lies. Beta isn't different enough to cause you any major hassles Zoom. A little bit of tweaking here and there. CMB is probably the main thing you have to have a serious look at, most of the other stuff you can just skim on need-to-know basis. I think at this stage I will give Artemis a rest he needs some tweaking and I will have another look at him down the track somewhere (plus I'm not sure he'd fit Second Darkness either).
Artemis looks around at the area. "Here by this fallen tree seems a good place to set up camp. we are away from the main crossing and have the tree at our backs."
Artemis accepts the small knife from Ost, handing him his Quarterstaff to hold. He swings himself back up and grabs the rope, slashing it with the knife and landing on the ground with a muffled thump.
Artemis grabs the Quarterstaff and swings himself around to see if any danger is coming his way.
Artemis hangs upside down...
Reflex Save (Evasion). (1d20+8=15) Artemis stops and looks down. "Oh dear!
Artemis watches Vargo disappear and gives an appreciative nod at his skill. Turning to the others he says, "OK the rest of you follow me. We're going to aproach the camp as if we are travellers in need of assistance. Be on your guard though."
Waiting until Ost has moved away, Artemis turns to his companions. "What does everyone think? Should we walk in as if we're just travellers, or should I sneak up and get a lay of the camp first?"
Artemis slows down and waits behind Ost, saying "should we wait for you to scout ahead, or approach the camp with nothing to hide?"
Artemis bends down to take a pinch of the ashy substance in his hands and ask Ost, "what do you think could have caused this damage?"
Artemis sets up a fire and pulls out his bedroll, setting it up against a tree. He then proceeeds to make plans with Ost for who should take which watch.
Artemis is of two minds about what to do with the Gnome. He has actively aided a known criminal and as such deserves to be locked up awaiting trial. On the other hand any delays will mean that the Red Raven will slip further and further ahead of them.
Artemis assesses the stranger and then extends his hand.
Artemis uses Detect Evil on the Gnome to determine why he would attack them.
Artemis smirks at Peitor's forwardness and then turns to yell up the hill, "don't hurt them, we will need to question them about the Red Raven's activities." He thn starts off up the hill, picking his way carefully through the rubble using his quarterstaff to steady himself.
Artemis looks at the big gash in Peitor's leg and winces. He hold his hands gently over the wound and a soft glow appears, knitting the flesh back together and leaving no mark.
Strength Check to help free Peitor. (1d20+1=13) Atremis grabs one of Peitor's Arms, Ost the other and they pull, trying to free the gypsy from the rubble.
Artemis dodges through the rain of rocks, emerging further along the road. Once out of harm's way, he checks to make sure Peitor made it out alright.
Artemis is going to race off down the road in the direction they are travelling, trying his best to avoid any falling rocks and making sure that everyone else is out of harms way. If he sees anyone in trouble, he rushes to help them, heedless of the danger it may put himself into.
"Of course you are right my dear. Peitor, Firefly let us hurry out of this stretch. The rocks are looking unstable and I would hate for them to come down on us."
I was assuming everyone was on foot!
Artemis looks around warily when he hears the rocks, alert for both a possible rock fall and also someone or something who could have loosened the rocks by their presence above them.
Artemis tells the others to buy what they need and then meet back here in half an hour.
"Good Sir. My name is Artemis Grayson, Faithful Servant to Lady Desna. I am not sure if you have heard about the current goings on in the town, but they are in trouble and have asked us to help them recover the Vernal Key from the bandit Red Raven who has stolen it. We have been told to seek out Ost Untamoinen to commission him to act as our guide in tracking down the villain and your compatriots out there directed us to this room."
Artemis leads the party up the steps of the Lodge and through the front door. Inside he stops and looks around for someone who might be in authority, going over and asking them where they might find Ost Untamoinen.
"Rest assured good townsfolk that we shall bring the perpetrator to justice. Thank You for your advice. We will look into hiring this Ost Untamoinen"
"Fear not good man. I would be remiss in my duties if I were to let a villain such as this Red Raven get away with his crime.
Artemis leads the party up to the man and bows before him.
Artemis leads the others through the streets, being careful to avoid large gatherings and keeping an ear out for anything that may be of use.
"This charming lady's name is Firefly and she wishes to join our band. As to the trouble, I believe something has been stolen from the village and I received this letter asking for my help. I believe the two to be connected, but until we meet with a man named Anteros Ikonen that is all I know. We should get going soon after everyone has had their fill of breakfast."
Artemis looks a little embarrassed by the title.
"I too have been remiss in my manners and for that I am truly sorry.
"I would like to help out if possible, and you look like the kind of person that could use my talents." Artemis still looks intrigued by the letter as he hears the elven woman speak to him. He flashes her one of his wide smiles and answers her. "I'm sure that your talents would come very much in handy. Apparently someone named Antero Ikonen wants to see me and my new friends in the Inclusive Hall. It must be something to do with the disappearance of this item you spoke of. You are quite welcome to join us."
Artemis accepts the paper and reads it, looking up for the messenger after he finishes, but notices that he is gone. He wonders why someone would want his help, he was only a small town sheriff and not that noteworthy. He decides to wait for Erelle to come down and see what she thinks of the note.
he notices a beutiful fiery haied elven woman
As Artemis heads over to the innkeeper while he waits for Erelle, he notices a beutiful fiery haied elven woman step out the front door. He notes the look of a warrior about her and gives an appreciative nod as she glances his way before she leaves.
Artemis wakes up and says his morning prayers to Desna, then goes over to the window to see if he can see what the commotion is about. After that he heads over to the girl's room and knocks on the door, waiting for Erelle to answer so he can inform her of what is going on outside. As they make their was downstairs for some breakfast, they are struck by a similar commotion in the common room. He tries to head over to the bar to ask the innkepper what is going on.
"Oh, thank you. Here, I can give you some gold for that.." She offers him a couple of gold coins in exchange for the key. Artemis looks at the coins and shakes his head with a grin on his face. "That's not necessary, it's my pleasure."
Artemis glances at the ladies before saying, "certainly my good man, that sounds like an excellent suggestion." Artemis takes 3gp from his belt pouch anf hands it to the inkeeper. Taking the keys from the man, he hands one to Erelle and escorts both of them to their room, before retiring to his for some well deserved sleep. Before going to bed for the night he offers a prayer to Desna for their luck tonight in avoiding any problems from the fight.
Eyeing Peior's attempt with a raised eyebrow, Artemis instead suggests that they try to get some rooms at an inn and asks the innkeeper where they might be able to find somewhere to stay.
Artemis glares at the men as they scurry away, then turns to Erelle, a look of concern in his eyes.
Artemis glares at the man and says, "leave now and there will be no more trouble for you. Stay and you and your friends will wake up in a prison cell in chains."
Artemis sees one of the men hit Erelle and his face takes on a hard edge. Having no mercy for a man who would hit a woman, he reaches over and plucks up his Quarterstaff, taking a swing at the man that attempted to hit him, but keeping his eye on the man who callously attacked Erelle. Attack vs. Drunk #1. (1d20+5=11)
