Asric Swain's page

As much as I'd like to continue, I'm trying to cut back on the number of games I'm in. I don't feel like Asric really adds anything compelling to the group, so I'm gonna drop out. Best of luck to y'all.

understood. No hard feelings

as a move action, Asric uses detect evil against the flying critter. The answer will determine his action

Asric moves forward to attack the fey creature. (accepting raging song)
longsword/PA/sick: 1d20 + 6 - 3 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 3 = 21 dam: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7 cold iron
man I hope that hits

heads up: I'm travelling over the next few days. I SHOULD still have some access, but will have limited opportunities to post. Please BOT me if needed.

Asric pushes through the snow to try to flank the creature. (Can only move 3 squares due to difficult terrain) He stabs at it with his longsword.
sword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 dam: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 (cold iron)
The thick snow throws him off balance and his blade passes by the creature harmlessly.

Asric moves up beside the ranger, sword and shield at the ready. "Can't say as I've ever faced a giant weasel, but if you can't win its affection, I'm here to help."

Asric hates that his vision is so unhelpful in this light, but he's glad he has sharp-eyed companions.
survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10
"I'm afraid I'm not good with tracks."

Asric shrugs and walks around as suggested. Leave the magic to the magic people.

Asric shakes his head as he reads the message. He holds out an arm for a moment allowing snow to build up. "It appears that winter will devour us whether we turn back or not. Might as well keep going."

"Some sort of interaction between the hut and that gem, which I suspect controls the doll."

kn:religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
holy cow, I made a non-combat oriented roll?!

can I actually attack instead of total defense? I was waiting for my initiative to come up? I check the board every day.
If so, Asric will take the rage, and attack. sword,PA: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 1 = 23 dam: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 1) + 7 = 14

Asric follows close behind Rerdahl, ready to strike if something funny is going on.

"Umm, what the hell is that?" Asric stares at the strange hut. He uses his detect evil ability on the figure inside.

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
"What are these images? Memories? More ghosts?" Something about the encounter fills him with a sense of fear and dread. Asric feels ashamed at his weak will.

sounds good to me

"They who? Before who sees us? Don't tell who that?"

percep: 1d20 ⇒ 18

"Child, who are you and who is keeping you from your mother?" he asks trying to approach her.
diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
"If you would remain still, perhaps we can help you."

did my detect evil pick up anything

"Perhaps the doll is tied to the girl in some way. Seems plausible enough." Asric stays near the front as they approach.
"Hold one moment, please," he says, raising his hand to the others. He stares ahead at the hut and activates his detect evil ability.

Asric is glad Andrei went first. His inclination was to simply follow the little girl. "Perhaps she haunts that hut," he suggests. "If she is a ghost, we should try to put her soul to rest."

"The portal takes precedence. It looks like that weasel may simply bleed to death anyways."

Asric doesn't think a weasel, even a giant one, will have much meat on it anyway.

"Nice to meet you," he says. He peers at the little fairy. "Has she told you much about this portal?"

@Rerdahl: ah, that would be because I forgot to put it on my sheet. Arqueros, the golden bulwark
Asric looks down again where Rerdahl was pointing. Even knowing it's there, he still has some trouble seeing the trap. He breaks a branch from a tree to use to poke ahead of him. And then they see the others.
"Hail. Yes, our thanks. These are quite the environmental hazard."

The ratfolk was like a silent breeze beside Asric. It's just not easy to sneak in armor. He shrugged, moving on as quickly as he could given the weather. He hoped Rerdahl could see better than he could.
stealth: 1d20 + 3 - 6 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 6 = 13
perception: 1d20 ⇒ 1 clearly has closed his eyes against the snow here

How are we doing HP?

I read through the gameplay. Creed REALLY does have crappy rolls

Hey folks. One of the migrants from Table 3, saying hi

then he will keep his weapon leveled at them
"If you mean us harm, I would warn you: we will defend ourselves."

Not wanting to hurt someone who isn't a threat, Asric asks them, "Who goes there? And what's wrong with you?"
do they look like bandits or prisoners?

Asric follows the other two inside. It's nice to warm up a bit, but he assumes there are still other foes inside.
move action, ready action to strike if any foe comes in range

quick update: I have to travel for the next few days (3/11-3/15) and I'm unsure of internet access. I'll do my best to check in when I can. Please bot me as needed.

Asric takes another swing, this time at the next foe (red).
sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Grunting as one of the arrows finds its mark, Asric steps forward to swing at one of the archers (blue).
longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
He sinks his sword deep into his foe's belly.

glad you aren't dead!

Asric picks up his fallen longsword and, raising his shield, moves to meet the new menace. (AC18 now)

Mina: A celestial fire beetle appears inside the building, hovering between both visible bandits. It attempts to bite the Orange bandit, and it'll use its Smite Evil ability, too

maybe we can just bot Rerdahl for the moment while we find a replacement? In this case, I'm sure he would try to use the slumber hex on one of our opponents

hmm, it appears, there is no save. "A hit deals direct hit damage to the target, and splash damage to all creatures within 5 feet of the target."

Frustrated at the archers and his inability to get in the window, Asric drops his sword to grab a small vial off his bandolier. He tosses it at the nearest archer (orange).
alchemist's fire(ranged touch): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 fire (and 1 point splash to adjacent squares)
He really hopes this doesn't burn the place down.

hrm, okay, he'll try to put his shield up in front of him and move/climb thru the window
climb(-ACP): 1d20 + 3 - 6 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 6 = 9 oof

I actually do have my shield out (per earlier post about raising shield as head to main structure)
what would we need to do to get inside? The window is already broken so that would be like difficult terrain?

I picked a window that looks good and moved Asric and Rikiru over by it

Asric rubs his shoulder. "Perhaps we can try a window instead," he suggests.

wow, safe travels!

str check (or aid): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Asric raises his shield as he moves towards the main structure.

"Well, at least it will be easier to get back to town with the horses." Asric opens one of the stable doors for Brugh.
