@Aurora Couldn't get your skills added up proper, you have a total of 5 points to spend at level one, have you not? Did you take into account that you are wearing armor?

Pretty busy day at work but will double check that. Also remember trait would give me +2 to perception


Definitely interested, I present Aurora Silverbow, forgotten Fighter (Archer)

If selected would you want me to create the history she can't remember? I'd be perfectly fine with you creating her forgotten background if you have plans to reveal it later for the sake of storytelling.

Yeah this is pretty much dead as is.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Large group would lead to a single battle lasting a week when it's acutually only afew rounds, or waiting for something to happen or a specific character to post.

Also makes it redudndat when there's multiple rogues checking for traps, mutliple area of effect spells that have to avoid twice as many party memebers etc.

The Two group trade off idea is the best one so far.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

So it's been 7 days since his last post. In his defense he did say "Finals Week." Granted a heads up would be nice but a day or two grace would be fair.

That being said, I'm down for a big group if it comes to that, but you'd have to amp up the CR of encounter's substantially at least until attrition kicked in.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Same discussion's going on in the other thread apparently.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Aurora swings her bow to target the direction Ingred indicates.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

As Agromite plunges into the darkness Aurora looks over her shoulder at the dusky elven woman.

"Count to three then follow right behind me,"she says before moving into the inky blackness, taking a few steps to her left the moment she is through the curtain of shadows.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

"Looks like this mystic darkness blocks sound too. if we're going to do this we may as well go through, they could be fighting Wormtail's whole little army right now for all we know."


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

BTW, been reading Group 2's thread. I love the fact that one group almost immediately becomes a unit and the other seems on the verge of killing each other.

It's like watching 2 parallel universes.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Aurora keeps her bow trained on the gaping blackness.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Aurora draws back on her bow aiming at the door should anything come barelling through it.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

"I don't see that there's really much else to do," Aurora replies quietly.

"Assuming Wormtail sensed magic just like you two did, do you thing a lunatic bent on destroying his enemies would pass up a chance at finding something he could use as a weapon?"


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

"Based on this picture it looks like the giant corpse outside was supposed to be one of the guards. Whick would make this the front door to the ultimate prison." she stares at the door mor a moment, letting her last words sink in.

"Anyone able to tell if there's any magic on the door?"


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Looks like a lot of us are Eastern. I'm in New York.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Aurora instinctively aided the newcome in the scramble to the cave, nocking an arrow once inside.

"Either way it looks like we're supposed to get on with it. Nice to meet you Amaronna, I'm Aurora. Looks like you're hunting the scum Longtail as well, so we're on the same side."

Glancing around at the party, she looks over at Agromite.

"So from the looks of it I'm assuming three of us need light and three can probably see in the dark. Since Ingred's got a sunrod lit, if you and Nimh want to scout ahead in the dark, I'll hold on to your little stone torch thing. I need light to shoot anything coming anyway."


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Now that's what I call punch


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Aurora looks at the flask for a moment.

"Why the hell not?" she mutters before taking a swig.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

"See anything up there?" Aurora calls to the two scouts as she scans the area.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

The white haired young woman smiles slightly

"Well that definitely makes sense, sorry if I came off a bit sarcastic. It's just a little....tense going into this."Aurora says, rolling her shoulders to relese a bit of tension.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

"Maybe it's just me, but walking blind into something that could kill someone that big, or turning my back to it for that matter, doesn't seem like the smartest idea. But by all means, charge on in and let us know how it turns out." Aurora replies, her expression calm, yet her body inicating the taut energy of a drawn bowstring.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

As the group approaches the cave entrance Aurora comes to a halt, staring at the Titan's corpse with open amazement.

"Is anyone else wondering who or what killed him?"


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Hi all, now for a proper introduction.

Aurora:

Aurora knows practically nothing of her past, having suffered amnesia from a traumatizing assault. She was found by a huntsman from the town clutching her bow, an empty quiver at her hip, and well over a dozen dead orcs as well as the bodies of her four companions, strewn about, none of whom she could recall.

The town is pretty much all she knows at this point so she's volunteering to give back, and she figures there's no one to really miss her all that musch if she doesn't come back.

With Aurora I'm going for the ideal fantasy archer, classic trick shooter, ranged combat maneuvers, actually took the Elven heritage feat just for access to this feat later on.

Me:

37 yr old, CSR/Tech support for a New York cable company, just finished my Communications degree. Also a Martial Arts and Yoga teacher. Been playing for about 20 yrs, usually the preferred GM in RL games.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

The pensive young woman who sits listening intently is well equipped, a look of intense focus in her eyes. Aurora had been the first to volunteer, an opportunity to give something back to the only community she knew, the people who had saved her by taking her in.

Perhaps in this she could find purpose.

"I am as ready as I think anyone can be Elder." she says solemnly.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Sorry wrong profile, different level versions


I preset Aurora Silverbow, amnesiac Fighter (Archer) who volunteered to protect the only home she remembers since she was found near dead just outside of Cleftwood.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Hey all I'm thinking with the size of the group and my lack of impact it would be better for me to withdraw.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Aurora, stands still, a silver headed arrow pulled tightly along the bowstring.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Here as well


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Before leaving for the night Aurora will have applied the silver blanche to 20 of her arrows


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

3 packets Weapon blanch silver powder
1 Slow burn arrow
2 Raining arrows

185 gp


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

"Night operations are a bit more difficult but the benefits outweigh the problems."


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Aurora awakes preparing her gear and equipment before donning her armor again and readying herself for the meeting. Pensive over the last night she gives little indication of her thoughts.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Soory ben absent, whole family hammered with the flu this weekend, will be back tomorrow.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

"If she tries anything I have an arrow with her name on it little guy." Aurora chimes in breaking her customeary stoic silence.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Sorry I haven't been overly vocal. I'm cool with all the brekdowns of gear and the cash from the sales. Just remember that while primarily an archer and not a tank, Aurora is still a fighter and if need be can engage in hand to hand in a pinch.

Although in a couple feats she'll be stabbing people with arrows when they get too close.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Aurora cannot hel the small grin that crosses her face at the goblin's mutterings as she watches the gathering crowd.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

So out of town for a Valantine's day/Anniversary weekend. Not sure how much posting you'll see out of me before Monday. If need be DMPC me.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Aurora draws another arrow and falls in at the middle of the group, eyes alert for the impending ambush.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Works fine for me.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Aurora slings her bow over her shoulder, sharp eyes narrowing slightly as she quietly studies the witch commanding the rest of the group.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

So far Aurora's assessment is that Nadja's an effective leader, but kind of a b~$#&, considering she knew her for about 15 mins before the shard.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

As Natalya drops to the ground Aurora begins to lower her bow, aware of the shocked stares of the others. As Jotune points out the serpent however the reacts on instinct, turning towrds the indicated areaand releasing a deadly shot at the snake.

Not sure if old init still holds or counts as new combat
Init (if needed)1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
1d10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Thanks

1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
1d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Maintaining eye contact, Aurora coldly nocks and releases another arrow, targeting the opposite side.

1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15
1d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Round 3

Aurora attempts to maintain her focus during the midst of the chaos, targeting the woman

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
1d10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

I didn't, posted in a rush.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

If the first shot hits the goblin I guess the second one is at the woman, unless there's more goblins.


Female Human (Elven heritage) Archer (Fighter )1

Finding the calm center she always did in battle Aurora begins targeting goblins, her first shot, a whistling arrow, the loud keening designed to throw the creatures into a panic.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
1d10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Grabbing a regular arrow almost as soon as the first is released, she swings her bow to target another of the monsters.

Round 2

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
1d10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
