Arthur Alaval's page

Arthur likewise conducts a tactical retreat.

Arthur draws his weapon and shield, but otherwise freezes in place, waiting.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

"Thank you good sir!"

Survival to Aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Arthur looks around the area, searching the bodies of the brutes, "I couldn't have taken another hit from those things."

Edit: I missed that one was asleep, I will not wake it up

Arthur grunts and begins moving around the other side of the not sleeping creature.

Move action to move 30 ft; standard action for total Defense for +4 AC

I was down 3 from the tree troll fight- but if my night's rest regain happened after that I was full? So I'm either at 7 or 4 depending on that answer

"no, that sap does NOT sound nice at all! But these tall goblins have killed some, many actually, of our friends- they are very dangerous."

"We were following the trail of some hobgoblins who have been invading and who attacked our people. . ."

"We came upon you while tracking some of them. . . have you seen any such creatures come this way?"

"I don't know WHAT they are, but they don't look dangerous. We might ask them if they've seen anything this way? If they turn out to be hostile, I am confident we can dispatch them easily."

Along the path Arthur is distracted, annoyed that he had come unprepared and had to rely on others, he tries to watch out for edibles along the path that he wouldn't be a burden again.

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

"What do we need to do to kill this thing?" Arthur asks, hoping one of the more knowledgeable members of the group had dealt with such a thing before, then chopping at the creature's head with his halberd for good measure.

Will coup de grace it if possible; otherwise attack roll below

Halberd: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Extra damage if coup de grace: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

sorry, forgot that when I posted my attack; so -3

Dropping his bow to the ground, Arthur draws his shield and halberd and swings.

Free action to draw halberd & shield, move action to don shield, standard to attack

+1 Halberd: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Thanks for the light, Gren!" Arthur shouts as he snaps his bow out and fires a quick shot, taking care to defend himself.

Free action draw bow w/ quick draw; standard action attack while fighting defensively for +3 AC (4 ranks acrobatics)

Long Bow, fighting defensively: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 4 = 19
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Having failed at his foraging, Arthur goes to sleep hungry, determined to find food along their way the next day, and too stubborn to ask for aid.

Arthur does his best to explain the massive army of Hobgoblins and how the villagers have gone into hiding to survive. "We are from here, and the people we are guarding are in danger- the Hobgoblin horde is massive, simply massive!"

Hearing the name of the famed Rangers, Arthur approaches where the others are speaking, "Hail! I am called Arthur Alaval, of the Nirmathi Irregulars." Arthur searched the faces of the men for any signs of someone he might recognize, knowing in his heart it was futile for chance to bring his brother to him so easily.

Survival to Forage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Obviously there were oversites as I was making the character on some of that type of stuff, but there hasn't been an opportunity to rectify any of them since.

I believe the intent was to continue following the trail to still reach its end

"Perhaps when we find the centaur's later carry it to them so they can bury him themselves to their own customs."

Perception Aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Survival Aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

"We should follow the first trail we were on to its end. . . though we will have to find these centaurs' camp at some point as well, it seems that something is killing them- possibly the same hobgoblins we are fighting."

"Aye, fresher is certainly better"

Survival to Aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 Assuming aid because I think Gren's modifier is better

I'm back in as well; was out for a day and a half, but it's been rough getting games rolling again without knowing whose back.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Arthur searches the area carefully, "Maybe another threat trying to silence him? I don't like it."

"I don't see anything here though."

"Yes, better to find him now in the cold light of day than to let him return under cover of night. . ." Arthur muses as he cleans his armor and sharpens his blade, going through his morning routine.

Indeed! Happy Holidays to you all as well!

8-12 /Vale-Grenwold/——/-----
12-4 /Luke/Sadi/-----
4-8 /Herman/Dyna/Arthur

I can do that.

Best NPCs seem to be-- Funny (War 4), then we have 3 War 2s-- does someone want to match those names across?

Arthur will take the middle shift with Dommer

Suggest maybe 4 man watch shifts to cover the night before leaving out in the morning-- 2 PCs + 2 NPCs, spellcasters getting first or last to get their 8 uninterrupted for spells, in three shifts?

"Yes, they must have a group close by. . . it is certainly troubling to have danger so near. If we can return with numbers in the morning I think that may be the best course of action- that's my suggestion at least."

Arthur was waiting to hear back from Gren before returning to the caves; once he comes back and says the trail is lost for the night I will take the gathered gear back to base.

Once we get Luke to the top, Arthur will begin to check the bodies of the slain enemies while we wait for either a signal or the return of Gren

Perception Search: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Arthur nods, and laying on the ground flat by the pit reaches down to try to help Luke up.

Assist Climb: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Muttering to himself, "I should have thought to get some rope. . ."

Arthur strikes at the swordsman again, trying to finish him off.

Halberd: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 23
Magic Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Shield Slam: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 62
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

No- if I can't do the dodging panache and still be in position to attack I won't use it

Arthur steps back forward, bracing himself for an attack, and when the attack comes steps forward again before unleashing his attacks on the archer turned swordsman.

5 ft. step forward; assuming that triggers his readied action use Dodging Panache deed to step forward another square and at +2 for AC 25 against this attack, then full attack.

Halberd: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 4
Magic Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 93
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

My post is above

Arthur strikes twice at the enemy in front of him, before carefully backing up a bit to try to draw him out of the foliage. Full attack +5 ft step

Halberd: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 31
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 24
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Arthur moves forward cautiously and swings at one.

Halberd: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Magic Slashing damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"Arrows! I knew traipsing around in the night was a bad idea!"

Double move forward, drawing shield and halberd as free action w/ quick draw

"Waiting for morning might be wiser- several of us will be nothing but hindrances in the dark and without lights."

Arthur will continue foraging/hunting provisions as he's checked on the sheet except any day we have a more "PC" task

"Yes- we should need to take a party out to investigate. Gren- what do you think of this?"

I'm still here; I apologize if I'm behind the curve on this subsystem a bit.

If fungus gathering takes no skill then we can put Maria on that.

I (Arthur) can use my +7 Survival to hunt on days when we aren't doing PC business
(Day 1):
Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Milton has +4 Handle Animal so we can have him herd?

My other NPC (Maria) only has Heal and Spellcraft so I'm not sure what the best use there is.

Harrell the Dwarf has Craft Stonemasonry and Marduk Lonething has Carpentry- I'd suggest having those two start sealing the Darklands passage.

We have four other warriors (Rusty, Milton, Funny, Hrothgar)- maybe set up dual purpose patrol/hunting expeditions with them plus Sadi (craft traps).

Then send as many as we have left to (7 I believe) to get the mushrooms done in just under 3 days?

I'd vote to use the promotion on one of the level 3s to get them to level 4/maxed out.

"We should make haste in getting these caverns into the best possible living condition, but we must set a patrol and watch schedule and send out scouts for food as well. As to these Darklands- let us seal the passage and be done with them."

Yeah, sorry, I should have mentioned that I was good to go after the channel just down a few

"Thank you Vale, I feel much better. How is your friend deer doing Gren?"
