Just a small map. :) I wonder if I've still got my Undermountain boxed set somewhere?

"I'm good to go." Ascoe responds, stretching a little and checking his equip again.

Ascoe sighs and buys a map, wondering just how accurate it could be? He places it on the table for everyone to examine.

Ascoe has 10 days rations and water in his Handy haversack. All his other gear as well. He came prepared.

Ascoe listens but doesn't respond the the locals gossip, instead he speaks to everyone at the table, "That reminds me. Make sure you've got 2 gold on you. 1 to pay the trip down. 1 to pay for getting back up. It can get really expensive if you can't pay for the return trip!"

As he paid for his meal himself Ascoe wonders what exactly Tihn is talking about? He shrugs and tears off a wing for her, placing it on a piece of bread to avoid any messes. "Here you go, it's good so if you want more let me know." Between the pheasant, the stuffing and the vegetables it's a very full meal. He notes the laughter but has heard that most of the regulars at the Yawning portal come to watch adventurers descend into Undermountain and treat it as entertainment, so it doesn't bother him.

Ascoe hands over his 5 gold and starts eating, politely but definitely showing his hunger.

"Looks like we've got the basics of an adventuring party." Ascoe notes casually. "I've been down a few ruins, but never one as big and bad as Undermountain. Anyone have any experience with it?" Despite his casual air while he's chatting with the group his eyes scan the room regularly.

"I'll have the pheasant with fennel sausage stuffing and gravy thank you." Ascoe says to the maids serving them, "And a golden sands orange to drink please." He looks at the others "I'm a bit hungry and who knows when we'll next get a decent meal?" I used to have all the Volo books. It's nice that there's still Forgotten realms menus online.

Ascoe shrugs as he follows the others inside. "Just means we've got a head start on the team forming." Looking at them as they take a free table and seat themselves. "Names Ascoe Tanner. I handle the traps and scouting side of things." He seems relaxed and easygoing without being overly friendly.

Ascoe smiles at the Monk. "Can't say I know of any parties heading below. Matter of fact I'm looking for one such to join m'self. How about we discuss it over that ale?" When the small woman speaks up Ascoe looks at her. "That we did. You looking to head down below yourself Ma'am?" He looks around at the crowded street. "Lets discuss this somewhere more comfortable shall we?" He indicates the door to the Yawning portal.

"Looks like we have a gathering." Ascoe thinks as a Dwarf. a walking mountain and a slender young woman all arrive at the inn at the same time. "A group this exotic can only mean adventure" "If you're looking for the Yawning portal you've found it friend." He responds the the mountains question with a grin. A closer look reveals that his armor and weapons are all hard to spot under sturdy green outer garments. There's a hint of silver armor under his shirt and he wears pouches packed with various tools.

A lean, easygoing appearing half-elf leans against the outer walls of the Rusty flagon. Light brown heir, a relaxed look on his slightly scarred face as he studies the passing crowds. He's dressed in adventurers gear, a familiar sight to the people of Waterdeep. Looking ready to set off on the next risky venture, or to go tavern trawling for a promising lead.

None for me. That changes Detect magic from being something he spams to something he uses when he's feeling paranoid about things.

Ascoe has the Rogue talent - Minor magic. I took Detect magic as the only spell he knows. How would that work with the Advanced D20 magic system? His only spell and it's level 0. I took it to tie in with his Relic raider archetype. It gives him a little edge spotting magic traps.

Greetings one and all. Thanks for the selection. Happy to getting back to Undermountain after all these years.

Adaptability Half-elves receive Skill Focus as a bonus feat at 1st level. Ancient Explorer - Polyglot (Knowledge (History)) Curse Sense (Ex) A relic raider adds +4 on Perception checks to notice haunts and on Spellcraft checks to identify cursed items (using detect magic or similar effects). In addition, the relic raider gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against curses and haunts and a +2 dodge bonus to AC against attacks by haunts. Danger Sense (Ex) You gain a +2 bonus on Reflex saves to avoid traps and a +2 dodge bonus to AC against attacks by traps. In addition, you gain a +2 bonus on Perception checks to avoid being surprised by a foe. This ability counts as trap sense for any feat or class prerequisite, and can be replaced by any archetype class feature that replaces trap sense. The bonuses gained from this ability stack with those gained from trap sense (if you have trap sense from another class). Debilitating Injury (Ex)
Disable Curse (Su) A relic raider can attempt to disable a curse as she would a magical trap. This ability acts as remove curse, except instead of a caster level check, the relic raider attempts a Disable Device check (DC = 15 + the DC of the curse). Disabling a curse takes 2d4 rounds, and the relic raider cannot take 10 or 20 on this check. A relic raider can use this ability 1 times per day. Elf Blood Half-elves count as both elves and humans for any effect related to race. Elven Immunities Half-elves are immune to magic sleep effects and get a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects. Evasion (Ex) You can avoid damage from many area-effect attacks. If you make a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, you instead take no damage. Evasion can only be used if you are wearing light armor or no armor. If you are helpless, you do not gain the benefit of evasion. Finesse Training (Ex) At 1st level, a rogue gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat. In addition, starting at 3rd level, she can select any one type of weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse (such as rapiers or daggers). Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. Whenever she makes a successful melee attack with the selected weapon, she adds her Dexterity modifier instead of her Strength modifier to the damage roll. If any effect would prevent the rogue from adding her Strength modifier to the damage roll, she does not add her Dexterity modifier. The rogue can select a second weapon at 11th level and a third at 19th level. Immunity to Sleep (Ex) You are never subject to sleep effects. Innocuous Servant (Ex) The rogue is an expert at appearing to be an unimportant servant, be it an attaché, bodyguard, driver, maid, kitchen assistant, or similar staff member. The rogue gains a +4 bonus on Disguise checks to appear to be a servant, but not to impersonate a particular servant. She also gains a +4 bonus on Bluff checks to lie to maintain this guise. While disguised as a servant, she gains a +4 bonus on Diplomacy checks to gather information among servants. Because she is easily overlooked as a servant, she can gather information from those she serves without asking them questions directly or alerting them to her interest. Doing so takes 1d4 days and requires a successful Bluff check instead of a Diplomacy check. Iron Liver You gain a +2 trait bonus on Fortitude saves against poison and drugs, and a +4 trait bonus on Fortitude saves to avoid the effects of alcohol. Keen Senses Half-elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception skill checks. Low-Light Vision Half-elves can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light. Minor Magic (Detect Magic) (Sp) You can cast Detect Magic. This spell can be cast at will as a spell-like ability. The caster level for this ability is 8. The save DC for this spell is 13. Multitalented Half-elves choose two favored classes at first level and gain +1 hit point or +1 skill point whenever they take a level in either one of those classes. Rogue's Edge (Ex) You have mastered a single skill beyond that skill's normal boundaries, gaining results that others can only dream about. You gain the skill unlock powers as appropriate for the number of ranks you have. Skill unlock disable device 5 Ranks Reduce the time required to disarm a trap or open a lock by taking a -5 penalty on your Disable Device check for each step by which you reduce the time required: 2d4 rounds, 1d4 rounds, 1 round, a standard action, a move action, a swift action. Sneak Attack (Ex) If you can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from your attack, you can strike a vital spot for extra damage. Your attack deals 4d6 points of extra damage anytime your target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC, or when you flank your target. Should you score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet. With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage, you can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. You cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual -4 penalty. You must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. You cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment. Trapfinding (Ex) You add +4 to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks. You can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magical traps. Trap Spotter (Ex) Whenever you come within 10 feet of a trap, you receive an immediate Perception skill check to notice the trap. This check should be made in secret by the GM. Weapon Choice (Dagger) (Ex) Dexterity to Damage with Dagger
Still working out his background. I'm leaning towards his growing up on the edge of Cormanthor with its many ruins. As a child he played in them and dreamed of what they looked like when new. Which led to him studying history and seeking out other ruins to find and reclaim famous pieces of the past. Personality wise he's laid back and works well with others, despite getting a bit too focused when on the hunt for a relic. |
