Arwin Hollower's page

uff, guys, having serious problem with now keeping up. Got sudden work travel schedule for next 2 weeks, so might be hard to keep up. Going to post couple rounds up

For a moment of thinking, leaving his spell aside, Arwin tighten his grisp on his falcata and moves forward. Appearing from the mist, Arwin swiftly moves towards nearest enemy and chops at him with overhead slash

quite unsure now where is everyone for now, since map is still old one

Agreed :) Will be easier for us and GM too and making game more fair, since there will be no "mistakes" then

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Sudden action, explosions and rush of people were causing chaos all around the great hall. Next thing happening was men rushing towards them. Smile creeping on Arwin face as he face incoming slaughter and small whisper escape his lips More will join the slumber of night... but who, I wonder

Noticing to be the closest one to charging group, Arwin thinks for a moment and prepares to cast one of his spells

Ready Action: To cast a spell

In is own thoughs, Arwin watches this odd group now compiled together. Some ex-mercenaries or soldiers, one elf - rare one and something strange about him -, a dwarf from far away just happened to stumble here, a member of his religion and inquisitor on top of that and then him, a man of robe and servant of her Goddess. Great was power of gods and some mission was there, but something was still missing. How should he achieve what he wanted with this people? They hold the key, that he had understood from his Goddess.

Rubbing his own cheek, Arwin gaze was empty but that was more threatening in one sense. Everything he saw was being sucked on those eyes, memorized, categorized and saved for later use. Knowledge is power and controlling that will give the power to control people. However, even if something were to happen, he still had his own tricks and strength along powers. Never lower your guard, even along your own people was told once more in his head.

When the wine-skin came to him, Arwin took it and held for a moment in his hand Day it shines, Night it darken. Shadows guard us a small prayer and raising the skin and taking a sip. Pausing for a moment to feel the taste Interesting taste. Perhaps from Kell or Marivelli region thinking of the towns to west. Just an idea but you can say something else of course :)? They surely make some nice wine looking at the skin and then passing the skin forward to Xandar.

Nodding along the speaking of Draig Yes, but I would be nothing of that. I am just a shepherd and scholar of great beyond, researching and finding out causes as well reason behind everything. Many things have disappeared from this world and its a shame as sad look appears to Arwin face and he looks through Draig, past him like fallen to his own thoughs... and so disappeared so many secrets to darkness, but I shall find them bring them to me. Shadows shall guard the secrets and learn them. They will all learn when the night falls and blinds these fools thoughs passes his mind

Coming back to his senses and looking at others and dwarf Agreed. A small cup of wine is not bad idea. This is sure a moment to celebrate. and to answer your guestion Draig directly than wishy-washing, I am cleric, a servant of my Goddess and not anyone else. That's my purpose and goal and shrugs. Turning and gazing at others, Arwin looks at Xandar, moves little bit out of others vision as he motions with his lips to Xandar

Stepping forward and getting little bit closer now to party, Arwin smiles as he widens his arms to show not having weapons, mainly for the new people, as well to be friendly.

New people joining our small group? This is rather odd day I would say. Many of us meeting first time, but the fate seems to bring us together. Good day my friends, Arwin is my name and humble servant of Goddess

Sudden realisation of new comer behind the dwarf, Arwin look at him and his gaze judging the man, but soon disappearing as walking towards him Wizards you say? Yes, rather funny folks, staying in their tower and studying the art of forbidden without permission... or not being part of Imperial. How should one feel about that is up to each other

Looking at Draig, thoughs passes Arwin mind but not saying anythig, he nods Draig was it, you are rather weary of this yes? Normal here, I would say, since lot of people of course are trying to gain fame. I agree that outside is better. Wizards can be rather... annoying with their spells, but I have learned that all is needed to not let them sleep

Turning his gaze back to Marzy, Arwin was amused. Out of the town and to lake area and seeing the tunnels. Arwin liked the idea as he looked around. Too many people and since another place is closer, everyone for surely will go there, so we take advantage and go out... also chance to see how these people perform and what they truly are

Turning gaze back to dwarf while speaking to others Indeed. I agree, we are better out and seeing surroundings than in the middle of huge crowd. Help of dwarf is also good thinking, I agree since they are the best ones in tunnels. and chuckles wine and women... indeed they are good, but then I always had one woman in my life and wine, well, she never forbid me from drinking but I can admit that wine in rare times... is really rare delicacy while watching people praying for the Goddess

Indeed Raignar. All in time and that we have for now. I would say that the speech was splendid. Interesting what you can do with so many gold pieces and honor, of course, depending on each person goal here as he looks around, the wrist are flying towards them.

Taking a glance at wrist, noticing the writing of Marivelli Tower and something about Lake Meronia, Arwin shake his head but small smile appears as he imagines... the people joining his Goddess.

Ignoring the bards and keeping little bit behind of crowds, Arwin keep his eyes open and soon notices smaller figure going around... and other taller one, little bit more sideway from smaller one and trying to keep lower profile. Interesting Arwin thought but remained on his place and kept watch to see any other interesting individual

Listening the speech and not showing emotion, Arwin had alot to think. With these promises, he had the chance to advance and change, even to shape this nation as he wished! The visions had grown stronger in recent years, but he didn´t have enough strenght, power or wisdom yet to understand them all oompletely. This chance was once in a lifetime... he could not let it pass

Seeing Raignik little bit hesitate and then offering his hand to shake, something he didn´t expect but then world was full of people who didn´t have same amount of knowledge or experience. Arwin smile getting bigger and firmly grapping to hand and shaking it Nice to meet you Raignik. Oh, and please, Arwin is just fine enough with me. Formalities are left for business or in this case, talking with gods or someone is asking for audience. I have no intention to preach... at least not yet as he made the small joke and small laugh escaped his lips

Noticing the gaze of other person and his way of judgin him, Arwin didn´t pay attention to it. Many did the same thing and regretted it later, since he one with darkness. Those who stare in the deepest tunnel... have to expect that someone might be watching back. Turning to him and accepting his handshake and just saying his name. Looking at his eyes and smiling Nice to meet you, Mercy. There is need for many people... and everyone have their purpose. Releasing hands and looking now well to both of them. They seemed to be seasonal warriors and both of them had this taint... hard to say what, but he was not to be fooled. He knew it the moment he saw them. The "night" had fallen. A small, almost unnoticeable grin appearing slowly to his face, he was enjoying this.

Turning his eyes to man, who had asked his name Hm... I suppose it was noisy here, since already told my name to your friend, but it won´t harm me second time. Arwin, humble servant of the Goddess. My skills lays on merely conversation, knowledge of the various subjects and things, whether it was astrology, nature, geography or something else. Somekind scholar you could say as he releases small laugh but guiding lost souls back to Her gentle arms. Speaking in merry-tune and chatting away, but something deeper meanings passes through his words.

Looking at the man who speaks to him. Older than him and for surely taller. Listening calmly his speaking and smiling as he came to talk about converting and donation. Keeping his face passive and not letting emotion show, Arwin locked his eyes to this man and just watched intensively and let him finish talking. Not commenting anything for a while, but then breaking the silence and laughing Ahah, well indeed. Do not fear, I am not here to convert or to ask for donation. Merely to talk and chat as I was invited. However, some of the people have heard the call of my... Goddess you may say, but never I force them to it. They all come in their own... good believe and is welcomed with open arms. Nevertheless, that is that and this is this. and as he answers while smiling, not everything was told or the meaning was somehow vague

Standing and waiting for the High Chancellors to come and finally tell why they were summoned here, Arwin looks curiously at men Oh, I never heard your name or your friend. I apologize for my intrusion, but I would like to know more about people, who might be my companion later. The world is vast and it never harm you to know more Bowing little bit and nodding his head, the darkness seemed to be deeper or his shadow seemed to be moving, but who knows

Noticing the young man striding towards them with confidence and with ease. The sound or rather missing the sound of him walking showed him to be more experienced and look of predator. Time had passed since the last time he had seen him. Stopping close by and giving his greeting

"May the shadows guard your steps."

Turning his head and looking at young man. Smiling, he speaks My the night be day to you and darkness consume your enemies as he completes the ritual.

Slowly closing towards men, Arwin head and face shadowed, covered under the heavy hood. Coming closer as he reveals his hands to show nothing on them.

Stopping to front of them and raising his hands next to his hood, bringing it down. A face is revealed: short, black hair, perfect nose, characteristic of face little bit rough and blue eyes

Smiling and then opening his mouth to speak Nice to meet you, fellow men. My name is Arwin and just a humble man of gods. I have been summoned here by High Chancellors, apparently for some cause. Maybe because of my travelings and knowledge of the world, but I don´t see that as such a big credit to man like myself. May I assume that you also have been summoned here by them? If so, I hope we can come along and his smile reveals white teeth... while small black dot passes through his eyes and the aura around him is... strange

Toughness is +7 hp = +3 first level and gaining then +1 hp each level after 3. 1st = +3, 2nd = 0, 3rd = 0, 4th +1 ... 7th = +1 | +7. Its scaling according to levels

He had given his prayers to his Goddess during the darkess hours of night. Secluded to darkness and mind at ease, he was one with night and he heard the his beloved Goddess whispering to his ears, teasing and cursing, demanding and praying, toying with his mind and he accepted it all. Vision and hallucinations were thrilling his senses and sight, telling of story or events in future... what might it be, he didn´t know. He would meet someone familiar face... and the gears of fate had begun to turn

The letter he had received and summoning him to attend to meeting of High Chancellors. Dressing and wearing his rope, made from the finest materials and colored in black, he was ready. His bag on his side, he begin to his journey towards meeting

Five oversized thrones just earned glanze from him as he saw them. Only fools would achieve something like that when the true terror and ruling was in the art of controlling someone mind and body... let them believe you and earn their trust than show your might be standing above them. Nevertheless, his eyes diverted from all of this as he paid his attention to men in grand hall. Vision occurred again, now pulse-like, something passed in his mind and went but for him, it seemed like the black marble floor was like ocean, weawing around and spirals were spreading under their legs to all direction...

And the wheel of fate has turned [Arwin spoke to air and walked towards the men

And back in business

Will have some trouble posting tomorrow until evening, so expect to hear me again after 16-20h. Not wishing to hold the game, as people wait for my "copy & paste"

LostSoul, you there? Sorry to sound bugging, but possible to get the character up soon? :S People are waiting and sooner we can get things going we can get up to game :)

Well, I will copy & paste since not feeling like writing again huge amount of wall of text :D and it looks quite nice in that way, since we got something to add and now those will join can read before hand what was posten and add their own style & taste to introduction

PS: Guess we can soon start, when LostSoul gets his char here today

Yah for sure! You have my support, since you asked and went and did everything already. You are first one to get inside if someone stops. Although I would like to say that, but Severed Ronin makes the decision but I guess we all are thinking along the same lines

Yah, I am ok to continue and have no intention to leave :)

Also, although not in USA, wishing happy Thanksgiving day to those who have it :)

Ok, just reporting in since I had to make some changes to my character sheet:

1)Falcata +6 (since its masterwork)
2)40´ft movement speed (from the boots of striding and springing)
3)Concentration check +16 (+4 CC (feat), +7 CL, +5 wisdom)
4)+2 to cloak of resistance (it was 4000 gp and put +2, to not cause confusion why my saves were higher than they should be)
5)+1 to will = +12 will save (missed +1 from will save due to increase from Headband of Mental Prowess)

@Soekja just wondering when saw your character sheet, but you have forgotten to include your middle-age stats? -1 physical, +1 mental stats.

Also the wealth level is quite huge :S Not blaming or accusing anything (Sorry if I really sound like one) and isn´t your spell-list "arcane" rather than "divine"?

Seeing Raignik little bit hesitate and then offering his hand to shake, something he didn´t expect but then world was full of people who didn´t have same amount of knowledge or experience. Arwin smile getting bigger and firmly grapping to hand and shaking it Nice to meet you Raignik. Oh, and please, Arwin is just fine enough with me.

A small, almost unnoticeable grin appearing slowly to his face, he was enjoying this. Turning gaze towards now the man, apparently inquisitor of his church. I see it as a good sign, to notice also inquisitor of Cerelia to appear to this event... brother Xandaras the knowing smile passed on his face. For a brief moment, it seemed like a shadow had reached from inside his robe next to his ears and disappeared.

Ok, if my describing is too much "like visual stuff" etc, just say so and I can forget it. I kind of like to keep this kind of mood on, but I can understand if have some kind of reactions or is impossible. Trying to add little bit flavour.
Xandar: I can retcon that if you want, since PC/s don´t know your name or edit later something else, if we have met before

Noticing the young man striding towards them with confidence and with ease. The sound or rather missing the sound of him walking showed him to be more experienced and look of predator. Time had passed since the last time he had seen him. Stopping closeby and giving his greting

"May the shadows guard your steps."

Turning his head and looking at young man. Smiling, he speaks My the night be day to you and darkness consume your enemies as he completes the ritual.

Turning to another man, apparently younger than his friend and before he is able to answer, The High Chancellors steps in and meeting had begun

"Those who accept this most epic of quests will be accomodated and the one who captures the leader of the rebellion and turns him over to Imperial authorities within the Arisan High Command will be rewarded beyond their wildest imaginations. Those who seek to accept this daring task may do so from just outside these walls where the Imperial Hunter's Guild has set a kiosk housing the Writs necessary for the given task. Thank you."

Listening the speech and not showing emotion, Arwin had alot to think. With these promises, he had the chance to advance and change, even to shape this nation as he wished! The visions had grown stronger in recent years, but he didn´t have enough strenght, power or wisdom yet to understand them all oompletely.

Turning his eyes back to man, who had asked his name before the meeting had started Hm... I suppose it was noisy here, since already told my name to your friend, but it won´t harm me second time. Arwin, humble servant of the Goddess. My skills lays on merely conversation, knowledge of the various subjects and things, whether it was astrology, nature, geography or something else. Somekind scholar you could say as he releases small laugh but guiding lost souls back to Her gentle arms. That aside, that surely was interesting introduction and promises of wealth. I am little bit interested on it, if I care to say, since so many things could be... requested or demanded if the quest were to completed speaking in merry-tune and chatting away, but something deeper meanings passes through his words. Not everything is told and some of the things were left vague

Looking at the man who speaks to him. Older than him and for surely taller. Listening calmly his speaking and smiling as he came to talk about converting and donation. Keeping his face passive and not letting emotion show, Arwin locked his eyes to this man and just watched intensively and let him finish talking.

I apologize for my intrusion, but I would like to know more about people, who might be my companion later. The world is vast and it never harm you to know more Bowing little bit and nodding his head, the darkness seemed to be deeper or his shadow seemed to be moving, but who knows

I guess, since we are level 7, that is quite high in PF in the terms "famous" or "extraordinaries"

Ahah :D its okey. What would Lawful Evil person expect, serving Goddess of Darkness etc, clerky and so on. No offense taken :)

Slowly closing towards men, Arwin head and face shadowed, covered under the heavy hood. Coming closer as he reveals his hands to show nothing on them.

Stopping to front of them and raising his hands next to his hood, bringing it down. A face is revealed: short, black hair, perfect nose, characteristic of face little bit rough and blue eyes

If so, I hope we can come along and his smile reveals white teeth... while small black dot passes through his eyes and the aura around him is... strange

Ah, I have also additional question: How well is Overdeities known and do they have even big religions or vast amount of religious people / servants / worshippers?

Wow, that is a good question. I know that serving Overdeities was also kind of what you didn´t think off and I guess there isn´t really a church, but if there is, what would be mine rank also in that sense? Arch Bishop definetely not! Some kind of traveling missionary or hm... trying to find out more but its GM call in this case. Will be interesting in story and RP wise

PS. Post people post :D We are off the ground!

He had given his prayers to his Goddess during the darkess hours of night. Secluded to darkness and mind at ease, he was one with night and he heard the his beloved Goddess whispering to his ears, teasing and cursing, demanding and praying, toying with his mind and he accepted it all.

The letter he had received and summoning him to attend to meeting of High Chancellors. Dressing and wearing his rope, made from the finest materials and colored in black, he was ready. His bag on his side, he begin to his journey towards meeting

Upon setting his steps inside the grand hall, he noticed two man already waiting. Altheiri, famous archers were standing ready with their bows. However, the thing which took his mind was the design and beauty of the room. The black marble floor was something, which looked exactly worthy for his Goddess. Reflection like finest mirror. He was blending to it. Where the floor ended and the man begin, was no easy to say, so perfectly did his robe blend with it.

Five oversized thrones just earned glanze from him as he saw them. Only fools would achieve something like that when the true terror and ruling was in the art of controlling someone mind and body... let them believe you and earn their trust than show your might be standing above them. Nevertheless, his eyes diverted from all of this as he paid his attention to men in grand hall. Vision occurred again, now pulse-like, something passed in his mind and went but for him, it seemed like the black marble floor was like ocean, weawing around and spirals were spreading under their legs to all direction...

And the wheel of fate has turned Arwin spoke to air and walked towards the men

Um... well, we are supposed to start now on Monday or Tuesday = so there is now (from my place: now morning 9 am) 4-5 day to make character. To also note, are we missing something?

We got Cleric, Fighters, Maguc(Kinda EK with Arc/Figh), Inquisitor. As I see we are missing something like Arcana (Wizard Full, Bard).

So, there is time and we might be in need of maybe full Arcana caster or Rogue would also be nice.

Only problem as everyone said: Alot of people-> seven. This might be problem with when combat occurs or dialog, so maybe rule then : If there is combat, everyone has to post x amount? [ok, sounds quite bad but otherwise this game will slow down really alot :S)

However, don´t have anything against it

Well, Lawful Evil here but may not necessarily be all evil campaign if of course GM also enjoys it?

I think even if we had good and more neutral PCs, players can adapt (and in this case I) to be more careful with their actions or.. hm, try to go along the way

["spoiler"] and then add to front of spoiler--> ["spoiler=Text"] :)

as a side note: damn, I forgot my human bonus for skill points= +7 more :S

EDIT: I have checked other people skill list (out of curiosity) and it seems we got some bases well covered with KN:checks, although I have to admit I went little bit optimized road here, since I want to have these things covered for the party. KN:history, nob, local, and other bunch of stuff. "Cleric is a Bard!" heh

Additional information for Ronin:

I made some changes to my character sheet:

#Added Extra Domain: Trickery - replaced improved initiative.

#Added Bluff & Disguise & Stealth to Class Skills;
#Dropped Ini to +4, changed HP to "GM rolled" and added +7 (favored)

#Added points to KN:religion, bluff, disguise, stealth and changed s-p allocating to skills: matching 42 sp

Was thinking between trickery, destruction and death but I saw trickery to be much more reasonable to be included as its: 1) not so overpowering compared to others, 2)benefitting whole party and 3)its giving less amount of "firepower" to me as well 4)it sounds much better to my background and image I am having

@Severed Ronin yah, now it sounds okey and seems to be better :)

The text and actions in bold and italic soudns great. I guess its a custom now here in all PBP games to do it. So far, I am using it in all games I play, so for me its good.

Let´s get rolling and transforms to ball and hop over the edge

PS. Yes, those HP rolling is defintely better than mine. Taking and marking them. thanks

sounds good to me :)

Done and added the weapon now.

I am only thinking now about that new feat, extra domain ahah

But honestly, I would like to ask = wouldn´t that be little bit too overpowered for me or then as you are DM, you would have to make some changes to encounters?

Just asking and wanting to take also account other people considerations, so what you say? and since we speak about overdeities, would it be possible?

Mhm, sounds good to me.

Thinking how to make it. Maybe to meet "Marc´s" character along the way or have them know each other from another time? Idea of having training in same temple and departing way.

I would see Arwin more as a journey-cleric and happens to meet "xxx" inquisitor during his trip / flight and destination is same for both. "Darkness is speaking to us and its surges of dreams and visions keep empowering us, sending to farthest places in the world to reveal the will of our goddess?"

Go all ahead :) Sounds good plus our meeting can be tied together more easily : by dreams & visions, as I have described as a background info. Focusing on Darkness and Evil domain, although considering chancing Evil hm...

What domains Cerelia have? Favored Weapon?

And here is the cleric of Celeria! Fully updated :)

I tried to keep him little bit focused but same time all around supporter, to keep party up and bring some help, if necessary. Comments would be nice and if something is wrong, just info and I will fix

Hm... gave also final touch to character profile, so you can have an idea of character concept realistic. I can also continue the story of "Shardar"... but I can promise that it will be a huge wall of text since can´t express it shorter than that.

I am also thinking to go more RP? but idea of how effective front-line fighter would be needed (and assumed I will be selected). Either way based on heavy-damage/ Enemy abuser / wall of blades (got an idea of feat chain to get this done).

As promised: a little bit more than 1hour!!

Shardar Deadstalker, Scythe wielding weapon master
