Asterius swings his massive club again, a bloodthirsty grin on his face. The minotaur seems confident but his attack is reckless.

Tessto: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Asterius stares at the chaos then uses the break to sit under a nearby tree and take out a very thick tome, which he continues reading from somewhere in the middle.

Asterius steadies his stance and swings his Tessto in a wide arc at the nearest goblin.

Tessto: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

I'm cool with readying!

Asterius makes a reckless swing with his Tessto at the nearest goblin.

"So be it." Asterius takes out his weapon, a large foreign-looking club with metallic barbs. "If we charge, it is on your count, Paladin."

Asterius told nothing of him being a spellcaster to Bruhma. However, it can easily be explained that Bruhma knows of him, from rumors or otherwise. If I recall correctly, Bruhma mentioned being familiar with the pirates of the blood sea (near the minotaur islands) and Asterius has spent a number of years with Saifhum pirates (in my backstory which I should really get around to posting). A lone minotaur is a rare sight, a dehorned one even rarer, so there might be a few rumors going around with the pirates or ships going through the blood sea (Asterius was a pirate). Asterius has cast a number of spells in his time there so it's quite possbile for rumors to exist of a dehorned minotaur that can perform magic. Getting a reliable source of information is much trickier but considering how much effort Bruhma has expended, he probably has that. At least, that's what Asterius is thinking.

Asterius flinches when the thunderstone explodes, not expecting the loud boom. The minotaur slowly applauds the kender, somewhat amazed that he was still able to cause a lot of trouble in such a short amount of time. "Very nice. Now, that Trapfoot has just given away our location to any pursuers so we best be hurrying. Willow, just give us the quickest path."

He looks at the kender. "And it's the bird which isn't a bird," the minotaur says. "That's why they're rare."

Hahaha. I can really see a Kender doing that.

Whoops, didn't see that. Bah, I really should have gone over all the posts more thoroughly instead of skimming. Well, Asterius will just shrug and won't confirm it and instead comment that perhaps Bruhma meant that there's another spellcaster in the group. Possibly hinting at Solinas, but Asterius doesn't know that either. Thanks for clarifying though.

Yes, I'm here. =]

Apologies, having some trouble juggling my time. New semester just started here, but I can respond when needed.

Oh, Solinas, just noticed you outed me as a 'Weaver of Arcane Magic'. As far as you know, I don't do any magic since I haven't done any and made no indication that I would be able to do so (or that I'm a Sorcerer as opposed to a Wizard). Though I think it's common knowledge to anyone who knows of minotaurs that they are wary of magic and prefer physical prowess. And him being a Sorcerer as opposed to a Wizard may create difficulties because while they're both 'Arcane' magic, they use very different sources. And I just noticed that we don't have any Wizards. Well, that'll be fun later on.

Asterius has stayed silent for most of the time, thinking things over. In the morning, he watches Bruhma depart and vaguely hears the new ranger say something about payment. The minotaur would have liked the coin for the journey, and often finds himself in need of it, but the mention of the book holds his interest more.

He checks his pockets to see if anything else has been 'misplaced' and, satisfied that nothing of importance was taken, collects a few more rocks before walking alongside the group, making it known that he will follow. "Seen any more birds, Trapdodger?"

"I will follow." That is all the minotaur says on the matter.

Asterius finally dismounts his horse, standing for a few moments to stretch his aching muscles before doing as Bruhma instructed--the man seems well-prepared. He sets about recovering, trusting that the explanation will keep as he regains his strength.

Asterius attempts to ride on his own horse to follow, keeping watch for some rare birds. He dislikes not having his own feet touch the ground but states no complaint, disliking the thought of having to walk all the way to Xak Tsarath more.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 11

The minotaur is brought away from his birdwatching by the Kender, sparing some attention to him. It's awfully hard to ignore a Kender when they're not being sneaky. "I have no idea," he whispers conspiratorially. "I stopped listening to the argument a while ago."

A thought strikes his mind, about how perceptive Kenders can be when they're interested in something. And how dangerous they can be when they weren't interested in something and were therefore bored. Better to attack the enemy from both sides—he could use an extra set of eyes and it would be better for everyone if the Kender was occupied.

"Trapdodger, why don't you help me? I'm looking for some rare birds, but they're very good at hiding. If you see anything unusual, tell me so I can confirm if you saw a rare bird or not. And if you see more birds than me, I'll let you borrow whatever is in my pocket."

The minotaur pats his pocket to emphasize his words, making it into a game. And last he remembered, all he had in his pockets were some cheap coins and some stones he picked up earlier for his sling.

"We should leave. If the ones who took out a whole garrison are still here, I don't want to meet them."

Asterius looks up. "Any survivors? We'll be blamed if none would explain and I do not think we have the time to do so."

Are those outside the building (Asterius, Rumal, Bruhma) able to hear the woman's screams?

Asterius waits with Bruhma outside, making sure to put up the hood of his cloak. He keeps an eye out.

DM:

Seeing that the lurker doesn't seem to be doing anything aside from watching, Asterius leaves him alone but tries to inform Bruhma just in case.

[dice=Bluff (simple secret messages)]1d20+7[/dice]

"Alright. And Bruhma, I hope there aren't any birds there like there is here."

Sense Motive DC 15:
Asterius doesn't seem to be talking about actual birds, but implying someone watching or listening.

Asterius lands on the ground, relieved to have solid footing again. He looks around with a keen eye, wary of danger.

That sounds fair, DM.

@Talinthal You really should use the dice roller on the boards!

[dice] 1d6 [/ dice] This is a dice expression (just remove the space between / and dice)

As said before, you can give the roll a title like so:

[dice=Channel Positive Energy] 1d6 [/ dice]

It makes the roll clear, and more specifically so that the DM can see what is being rolled and what modifiers are being added to see if it's correct (and if they have any modifiers to add).

"I understand."

The minotaur grabs hold of the rope and starts climbing down, preparing to secure their escape route.

Asterius is out of combat at the moment. Effectively delaying his turn but he'll follow whatever Bruhma will say.

"It seems like they won't leave without the others," Asterius observes, looking at Bruhma. "Even if it means facing an opponent greater than they. What will you have me do?"

Asterius leans away when Bruhma hurls the table and quickly gets his gear. He grunts in affirmation and follows after the man.

"I wouldn't know." The minotaur looks thoughtful, putting down his fork, and eventually ventures in a different, lighter tone, "I assume some of the product from the farms are used to produce alcohol, so fruit and wheat. The combustion temperature depends on the kind of alcohol and its ethanol portion."

Asterius then shuts his mouth and resumes eating.

One can say that insulting anyone unnecessarily is not a prudent action at all!

"No," Asterius says. "Minotaurs are most often fond of wine and alcohol." He doesn't explain further, preferring to start eating his meal when it is brought to him.

The minotaur turns from where he was staring at the fireplace. His eyes narrow at the apparent insult from Bruhma but seems to be appeased at the coin, catching it with a hand.

He listens to the offer, looking interested and finally nods. "Fine." He gives off the impression that he's done such work before. "My name is Asterius."

He waves a server over to order a plate of the potatoes and water, his words direct. When the gnome mentions the alcohol he shakes his head.

In the Discussion page, it says you can purchase 'whatever equipment you want within reason'!

A minotaur arrives at the table, taking the chair from a man who hastily vacated it upon his approach. The first thing noticeable about him is his horns, or rather the lack of them. Minotaurs are well-known for their horns and seeing one without them is almost unheard of. There are deep scars where they would have been, visible through the brown fur. He wears a cloak hiding most of his torso.

If one has seen minotaurs before then they know that he seems to be small compared to his kin, but compared to most races he is still quite large.

He says nothing, seeming to ignore his surroundings, doing nothing but sit there. He has no food nor drink, only his gear.

Hi folks! Nice ta meet you all. I haven't updated my background/crunch yet but that doesn't mean I can roleplay!

Nice to see you again, RIZZENMAGNUS.

To clarify, it's alright if I use the Battle Sorcerer variant for my character, yes? And for starting funds, average GP for our class?
