"of course we will help!!" Azoth says enthusiastically. He willl also answer all the questions honestly, noot hiding anything.
Azoth comes out, blushing and looking embarrassed. "Sorry, I must have spaced off for a bit there..."
Azoth was born in Korvosa, in Varisia. He was raised by a family of noble blood that had a strong faith in Iomedae, the Inheritor. When Azoth was a child, he spent a lot of time in study, focusing on the history of Varisia, and particularly focused on the ancient Thassilonian civilization. Azoth always wanted to be a scholar, and for this the other children teased and bullied him. Azoth never responed offensively to the beatings, he simply learned how to react faster. Azoth's father, Zandu, became concerned for his son. In his family, the men went to war. Zandu took up much of Azoth's time teaching him the traditions of their family, how to serve Iomedae, and how to react before your foes "Become a paladin of Iomedae, a holy warrior, then you can use your talents to learn and be a scholar later." his father would tell him. So, when the boy came of age, he went to the local temple of Iomedae to become a holy warrior, still studying whenever he got the chance. Because of all his learning and training, Azoth seemed to be able to act before his opponents even knew what was happening in a fight. This became invaluable when his mentor took him on a pilgrimage to the crusades in the Worldwound. While there, they learned of an incubus that was using its mind games to create chaos in the ranks of the crusaders. Azoth and his mentor were tasked with tracking down and killing the demon. Azoth's insight usually allowed them to get the jump on the incubus, but just before they could get the killing blow the incubus would teleport away, and the hunt would be renewed. Eventually, the hunt led them to Tian Xia, far to the east. With the help of a local samurai, the paladins were again able to locate the incubus, tjis time slaying him before he could teleport. During the fight, Azoth's armor was practically torn in half and destroyed. It just so happened that the samurai that helped them was also an armorsmith, who offered to make Azoth some new armor for free. The samurai made him a set of kikko armor with a stylized symbol of Iomedae emblazoned on the chest. After thanking the samurai, the paladins returned home, where Azoth completed his training and was sent off to fight evil in the world. Hearing of some trouble in Sandpoint and the surrounding region, Azoth thought this might be a good opportunity to learn more about history while perhaps using his martial talents to help the locals there. -Posted with Wayfinder
I just got to my hotel... had to go out of town for a wedding. I would be more than happy to update Azoth's background with more information on the aforementioned demon wheen I get back to the room after dinner :)
Azoth agrees with the plan. "Thim, I acquired my armor while chasing a demon all across Golarion with other paladins of my order. The thing ran all the way from the Worldwound to the distant land of Tien Xia, where we finally caught up with it. My original armour was destroyed, and I sought a smith to craft me a new suit, and this is what he made me. It is called kikko armour, and it consists of a clever arrangement of hexagonal plates made from iron and sewn to cloth, granting the wearer greater flexibility than that provided by many armors that afford similar defense. The plates may be left exposed or hidden by a layer of cloth. I like it very much, and the man sold it to me for a fair price."
Sounds good.

Azoth looks helplessly from the goblin to Zolarus. "You want me to keep it alive? Very well." Azoth shakes the goblin off, and hits it on the head with the pommel of his sword.
Azoth strikes at the goblin directly in front of him, praising Iomedae as he does so.
As he swings, he gets distracted by a nearby butterfly... "Oh! A monarch! How lovely..."
Azoth attacks the goblin directly north of him with his longsword. "Iomedae protects me from all evil, including the stench of goblins."
Azoth charges the goblin closest to him, slashing at the thing with his longsword. "The Inheritor bids you return to the pit from whence you came!"
"DIE GOBLiN FIEND!" Azoth yells as he charges the mounted creature. As he runs, the goblin falls dead off its mount so Azoth instead attack its mount. -Posted with Wayfinder
I actually have ann arcanist that is fairly similar to that build... when you couple it with toppling spell, it is a lot of fun!
Thim, where did you find the force missile mage? I have a character idea for another campaign that I would be interested in using that in.
Upon seeing the goblin pyromaniacs, Azoth moves as close to them as he can, pulling his shield off his back and lasahing it to his arm as he does so.

Lol, I got a new tablet and bought a Bluetooth keyboard for it... its fantastic, but a little shorter than I'm used to... which makes the keys in the "wrong" spot... it should have said "we use" -Posted with Wayfinder
Azoth is shocked at the sight of the goblinss and moves toward the last one standing in this area, drawing his longsword as he does so. He grips the blade with both hands and swings!

I myselff am impartial to the loot system wwee us, as long as we have someone who wants to keep track. -Posted with Wayfinder
Azoth seems to space off from time to time, but other wise seems genuinely interested in the lizard. He even takes out his notepaper so and takes notes of every thing Thim says. Azoth introduces himself to the newcomers. "I am Azoth. I travel wherever the needy be, and wherever knowledge can be obtained."
The man is watching the animal performers and at first doesn't hear the man with the strange lizard speak. His dark hair is unkempt, and his violet eyes are piercing. He does indeed where armor strange to Varisia, an armor made of haxagonal iron plates sewn to cloth, bearing the holy symbol of Iomedae. A longsword rests at his hip, and a shield hangs from his back, all bearing the same symbol. "I am not from here, specifically, but I am from Korvosa, here in Varisia..." Azoth replies, trailing off, seeming to have his thoughts elsewhere, throwing a ball.
The ball barely goes through the loop. "As for my armor, I have travelled far in my studies. My father wished me to learn all that I could about battle, while I wish to learn all that I can about everything."
The man laughs as he goes to throw the last ball and it slips out of his hand, falling to the ground. "I always was much better with a sword!" he turns to the stranger. "I am Azoth, well met." he says, bowing slightly. "And if you don't mind me asking... What is that lizard thing at your feet?"
Azoth, always eager to learn something new, is excited to try some of the games.
I made a couple of changes to Azoth's gear. Added Toughness Feat.
That is one of my favorite bard archetypes actually
I have been trying to get into a RotRL game with either this alias, or another character, Caladral. Looking for a GM willing to take one of them!
"I am a paladin of Iomedae, a fairly skilled warrior. Uh, I also know a bit about the ancient Thassilonians, and can read and write their language. Er... I can be diplomatic when the need arises, and I tend to react quickly in situations due to my high situational awareness.
I must apologize for my absence. My wife went into labor Saturday afternoon, and delivered our son yesterday morning. I think I am just going to forfeit, I don't see myself having the time I wanted to drag this out till fly wore off and you ran out of spells... Good match. Learned a lot in my first PVP. Thanks GM!
The snowball lands a little ways away from Azoth, and he remains unaffected. Azoth moves 30 feet further away and raises his shield in front of himself.
"Coward!" Azoth drinks his potion and then draws his katana again. Combat: Drink potion of bull's strength
Azoth moves back to wear he drops his potion and picks it up, sheathing his katana on the way. "Come down here and fight me like a man!"
Hit
Azoth doesn't notice his invisible opponent leaving engagement, until he appears with 6 clones. He steps forward and attacks the familiar. Combat: No Action:5' Step Full Round Action: Full Attack
Combat: No Action: 5'step in direction that Dakar moved before vanishing. Full Round Action: Full Attack, Power Attack
Azoth sees his opponent, and remembers what happens to the last guy that fought him. He runs at his opponent, dropping his potion 10 feet from him, and drawing his katana before the last step. Combat: Full Round Action: Run Free Action: Drop Item Part of Movement: Draw Weapon Current AC: 26
Azoth again walks out onto the field, his armor clanging, his shield in front of him, and a potion in his hand. "Let's get this over with."
[ooc]Good game, Jaron. Not knowing how many hit points you had left, I thought I was in trouble. It was definitely a learning experience. I liked your character, thanks for the match. GM, I don't have a UMD so I can't use the wands anyways.
Azoth is amazed, and a look of awe passes over his face as the flames sear his back. He takes another step around his opponent. "Why don't you stop using all that magic and fight me like a man!?" he yells angrily, before attacking his opponent again.
Combat: 5' step, full attack. Also my performance roll for crit:
Azoth avoids one of the balls, but is hit by the other. He steps around the ball in front of him, and attacks his foe again. Combat: 5' step full attack action, power attack.
Azoth steps around his opponent and then rams into him, attempting to push him towards his own electric balls, the move is quick, so quick that he Azoth is even able to get one attack in. Combat:
5' step, full attack action, quick bull rush feat on the first attack, power attack on the second.
Azoth smiles as his opponent's blade glances off his armor. He steps forward, again closing the distance to his opponent. He then unleashes a series of strikes, keeping up that defensive stance. Combat:
5' step, full round attack, using power attack.
The first attack hits solidly, but the second is nimbly dodge by his dextrous opponent.
