Baern Shieldcutter's page

Keeping his breathing even, Baern slowly tenses his muscles while adopting the style of his monastery. He holds his position as the (presumably) unholy stampede bears down on him, waiting for the right moment. As the sick stench of the lead cow hits him from so close he can taste it, Baern launches a carefully aimed punch at the creature's skull.

Immediately afterwards Baern brashly throws himself to the side, hoping to induce the herd into following him away from the well and the rest of the townsfolk.

Swift Action to enter Snake Style, Standard Action to Unarmed Strike on cow in AM47, Move Action using Acrobatics to tumble full speed to AN51.
Unarmed Strike, Piercing: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Oh, that's going to hurt.

I'll stick with the move, it'll keep things interesting. Although I think Baern should be in AN47 and he's showing in AN48 currently.

Rolling his shoulders and then cracking his neck, Baern begins calmly walking towards the rumbling sounds, placing himself between the oncoming threat and the well. Once in place, he braces himself, carefully controlling his breathing in preparation for the coming danger.

Baern will move to AN47.

Baern will take watch in silence next to the well, believing it to be important and not wishing to see it tainted.

Baern nods in agreement with both Jennis and Olfwei.

"The elf and the Ulfen are both right. If there exists a chance of not reaching Crow's Watch before nightfall, a completely unprotected area would be deadly. Even if everyone did make it there, there's no telling whether Crow's Watch would accept this whole town, and if they did, nothing to say the same thing wouldn't happen there in a crowded, and therefore also deadly, environment. Fortifying this location appears a better option currently. Besides, you possess a well which holds exemplary healing properties, yes? Perhaps such miracle water could come in handy these coming days."

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Baern once more begins searching for any clues as to where the creatures originated from, determined to search for the tracks while they're still fresh.

Survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

1d8 ⇒ 6+3 CON, +1 favored class, health goes from 12 to 22.

Skills Ranks: +1 to Acrobatics, Escape Artist, Perception, Sense Motive, Stealth, and Survival.

Monk Bonus feat: Snake Fang

Seeing the two zombies nearby being fairly well surrounded by adventurous types, Baern darts after Varnus and strikes low at the zombie as he arrives.

Swift to enter Snake Style, Move to AS37, Unarmed Strike on Z1.

Piercing Unarmed Strike, Z1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

At Varnus' mention of ghosts, the look on Baern's face changes drastically. Despite others agreeing with his reasoning, he quickly latches onto Bonthwain's tracking suggestion.
"I'm not truly a woodsman, but I can see if I can find where these beasts came from..." he trails off as he immediately begins studying the area around the deceased wolves to try and determine from whence they came.

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Baern drops down into a crouch, closely pondering the appearance of the wolf at his feet for a few moments. He then pops back up to a standing position, looking up at Varnus.

"What d'you propose we do with the dead? Leave them in the street? Surely these folk deserve more than being left where they were cut down on the cobblestones. An' unless anyone has a better idea, we should burn these wolves. There's something fiercely not right 'bout them."

Baern again carefully strikes at the wolf before him.

Unarmed Strike, W4: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Unarmed Strike Damage, W4: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Despite being disgusted at what had happened when he'd buried his fist into one of the creatures, Baern kept moving. Seeing that another wolf had snuck up behind him, Baern danced around to the side of it, this time throwing a kick at the wolf as he tried to keep himself safe.

Fighting Defensively, unarmed strike on W4, five-foot step to AR35.
Unarmed Strike, W4: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 - 4 = 8
Damage, W4: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Still emboldened by the half-orc's words, and now assisted by his help in cornering the wolf, Baern drives his fist down at the foul creature's skull. He then darts around the wolf to afford Clyde the same benefit provided to him by Varnus.

Piercing unarmed strike at W1, followed by 5 foot step to AS36.

Unarmed Strike, W1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Unarmed Damage, W1: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

This is as good a time to dot as any, but REALLY? First attack out of the gate rolls a 4? Ugh.

Seeing both the disturbing appearance of the wolves and their ability to withstand varied punishment, Baern decided to try and start moving into a better position to help attack the creatures. He darted into the Market grounds, weaving himself around until he came up behind one of the wolves. Not wanting to waste time as he finished circling around and emboldened by the half-orc's heroic tale, the lithe dwarf lashed out with a quick strike at the wolf's hindquarters.

Move to AR37 by way of AR39 and AQ38, piercing unarmed strike at W1.

Unarmed Strike, W1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Baern immediately takes off towards the guards as fast as he is able, coming to a halt next to Clyde. As he skids to a stop, Baern adopts the combat style taught him by his mentors in preparation for a fight with the wolves attacking the guards.

Swift action to enter Snake Style, double move to AS39.

Baern would be at the Snoring Eagle, attempting to question residents on the history of the town's well regardless of their level of sobriety.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Baern is a dwarf standing 4'3", clad in loose fitting clothing and sandals, with nothing but a backpack and a belt pouch accompanying his clothing. The most noticeable trait for the stocky dwarf is his bald head and lack of a beard, without so much as even a hint of stubble.

Baern has recently arrived in Haldors Spring inquiring about the well, questioning residents rather awkwardly about the perceived health benefits of the water from within.
