Bargus Highbrew's page

No, Bargus... I am stupid and just posted using that profile from another PbP game!

And back! Here's to rolling e-dice again!

Bargus reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Bargus avoids all of the acid yay evasion, doing his best to protect the keg and himself.

He then shouts to the others: "Aye, rememba that usually dragons are weak ta ice-types and themselves!"

Standard action for advice, +1 morale bonus to attacks/damage/fear saves

He then steps behind some of the other party members, pulling out a red vial.

Move action to grab alchemists fire

"Aye, glad to be a service to ya, lad. What 'appened to ya?", the dwarf asks.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

"Aye, ya need our help?", Bargus asks the underwater man.

Bargus follows suit, drunken bravery leading the way.

Bargus glances out over the undead...

Kn: Religion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

In either case, Bargus offers his sage advice to the party. "The best way to stop zombies is to not let them eat yer brains.", he nods in approval.

Standard action to inspire courage +1 to all

He then unsheathes his temple sword.

Ha, out ninja'ed the ninja :P

As the crabs turn away, Bargus sighs. "I was preferring to make a crab boil, but that is far more efficient.", the dwarf comments.

Taking 10 for 19 on the Perception

*hic* "Looks like the crew used the rope to leave this barge, not that I would blame them with that hole in there.", Bargus points out.

"Not a bad idea, Ren. How 'bout you an' I take point and step in first, then pull the others up."

Also... if you guys are capable, I wouldn't mind running a game for the PbP Gameday kicking off this week... well I wouldn't start til the following week due to a short family trip, but starting on Friday, Sep 13 if I can get enough people. I can do PFS2 if you are interested, or something else from Season 9 or 10 to keep things current.

"Ahh, well let's keep this civil and in Taldan for the others. Picked up the Tien after meeting some others and thought it prudent to keep discourse from prying *hic* ears." He then offers the newcomer with a complimentary draft from his personal keg on his back before drinking two mugs full himself, his toughened skin seemingly hardening after the first drink.

Drink 1 for a drunken ki, then use that for a self barkskin for 40 min, then one more drink for 1 drunken ki. Drunken ki lasts for 1 hour, barkskin for 40 min and AC is now 24.

"Aye, that be us. Where ye be lurking from, lad?", Bargus concerned, but pleased the newcomer is friendly.

[b]"Let's keep the ring for now, perhaps our investigation will prove useful in finding a proper send off to its former owner if ye be so inclined.

I am back from my convention and I am good with the change and hope things get better for noral.

"Aye, I'll take a hit a' that.", Bargus motioning to Ren.

Looking at the situation, Bargus offers his sage advice: "The only crabs appropriate on a date are drawn with butter.", the dwarf recites with a twinkle in his eye.

He then follows Ka'zaak to the pool to inspect what he is eyeing.

Will be heading out of town for about 9 days or so, will have limited internet access over this time. Will post when I can, but bot me as necessary

Yeah, mine is very support-y. Need to get a belt of Str and Power attack to at least hit something for some damage. But mostly, I am a buff character. Just need a couple more levels to do the cool tricks, such as sharing barkskin to everyone, all the time, thanks to cheap alcohol and drunken ki :)

"Aye, Cap'n! May you find knowledge through drink, such as I!", Bargus taking another ceremonious gulp of dwarven stout from his mug. As the his holy allies make their way from their room, he offers a toast to them. and drink to them as well, and he presumptively fills a mug for the nature-y one. "Bargus Highbrew, master of books and brew. Pleased to *hic* meet ya!", he jovially greets. "Aye, this my first time here, too, but needed ta read something on our way 'ere."

"We outta get some supplies, fa sure. Thinking something ta breath underwater and maybe something to make sure he won't sink!", nodding towards Ka'zaak."[/b]

Kn: Local: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Kn: Religion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

"The Eye of Abendego, 'eh? It be mighty dangerous. And there be some strange cults that worship it in wrong ways."

A dwarf walks out of his quarters, stumbling gracefully towards the common room. He sort of reaches all of the senses at once with a clumsy dress-style further accented by the large keg strapped to his back, along with a pungent odor of his unwashed beard. He reaches behind himself and fills a gourd with some liquid from the barrel and takes a gulp before offering to the captain and the others. "Lucubrating the mind early allows for more efficient learning.", he advises.

I will play my buff monk, which is mostly interesting as it was an attempt to use the most archetypes possible on a single PC; a qinggong drunken master sensei ouat.

Incidentally, he also carries his own keg to keep up his drunken ki... and is willing to share!

D'oh! So I miscounted my chronicles and Bargus just hit 4. To keep more in line with everyone else, I have two other level 3's I'm deciding between. I'll post with the new PC when I decide and finish leveling up one of them later today.

@GM: Would you please remove Bargus as one of the characters for the game in the Campaign? It'll make it easier to post later with my other PC when I make my decision :)

"Aye.", Bargus answers, not feeling the need to lie. He then looks at Arianna for guidance in this situation.

Bargus looks at the regal looking soldier, then looks at J, trying to read both her and the Eagle Knight.

Sense Motive @ J: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Sense Motive @ Colson: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

"Now, now... introductions should be done, with a drink.!", Bargus turning to pour some ale into a mug and offers it to Maldris.

Dotting for now, PC will be ready within a couple of days

Since it looks like most people are bring in something between 2-4, I'll have another PC, Bargus Highbrew coming in. He's just finishing up another PbP so he'll be ready within a day or two.

Kn: Nobility for Maldris: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

"Huh, a prominent ally of the Society. What're the odds? Guess adventurin' is in yer blood, Grishan."

"Aye, we be on a roll if we're lookin' to make peace with spirits that don't involve imbibin' 'em!"

"Aye, one of the oils do sound useful.", taking one of the vials.

Upon Maldrek's request, he shakes his head. "Save yer magic for sumptin useful; I got dis here shtick that gives me some invisible protection!", the dwarf waving a wand. "Although I do think it be time fer ya to use it again."

If you wouldn't mind Maldrek; I'll also share with Haro if he wants it, too.

Oddly, with the mage armor, I may just well be the best "ghost" tank ala monk AC. We'll see how things go, though.

Bargus looks over the bodies, curious.

Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

*hic*

*hic*

Back!

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

"Remember: what is not on or over may be under *hic*, Bargus announces, already having an idea before Bulgo does his inspection.

"Yeah, we ain't lookin' to stay here long; just lookin fer something. Once we have that, we can leave ye be!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Sense Motive @ the mandragora: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

If Bargus feels the mandragora will keep its word, he'll abide by the request and allow himself to be pricked.

Kn: Nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

"A lil one at that. But why the blood?", the dwarf asks.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

So close too!

Bargus heads east, too, although his patience is waning as he takes a deep drink. One drunken ki accumulated

"Hmm... a sad state, them clouds corrupting what its waters touch. Takes days to cause a real effect, but we shouldn't dilly dally here."

"Well, if we're ta help you feel at peace an' stuff, best we take care a that, first."

"Huh, two of 'em here!", Bargus smiles. He looks at his mug and looks at Grishan. "Don't think you can take a drink of solidarity, can ye?", the dwarf asks the spectral boy.

SM: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

"Aye, that's no way to treat a young lady. Here, lets talk it over with some fine brew!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Of course, the threats made by his allies seem to overpower his attempt at spirit diplomacy.

"Baklava? I heard of it; something like the knefe from my land, although with less goat cheese."

"So lass J, you are technically old enough to drink if ye want some fine dwarven ale!", the dwarf trying to be friendly as the party moves through the market.

"Well, pleasure to meet you lass, J!", Bargus greeting the young woman. I'll wait to see if others can do the Kn: Local check before chiming in on it, gotta share the Knowledge love!

Before entering

"Welp, not my first time escorting a young lass, so count me in!", Bargus accepting Dreng's request, offering to poor some ale to anyone who wants to toast.

Afterwards

Bargus looks at the decor, then looks at himself. "I hafta admit, think I'm overdressed for the occasion.", he jokes.

Actually, I believe that's a bit of a misnomer; Lore Master allows bards to T10 for Knowledge at any time, even in combat. I took a look and could not find anything in the rules stating that I could not T10 for a Knowledge check outside of combat. If you can find something definitive that says otherwise, please let me know.

Taking 10 for my Kn: History for a total of 20

"Ahh, yes, the Tri-Towers. I remember hearin' of that earthquake that ruined the place. Think the Arboretum Arcanis, a fancy greenhouse for stuff all over the Sea, was there, too. Course the place is supposed to be haunted. Been creepier since Deris Marlinchen, the pops of one of the students killed, stopped visitin' the place and speakin to them spirits. No company would make me a restless, too."

"A toast then!", Bargus offering some of the ale strapped to his back-keg.

"Nice to meet ya lil fellow! I be Bargus Highbrew, wandering scholar, teacher, and afficianado of all things alc-*hic*oholic!"

"Aye, so where is the party at?" *hic*, speaks a dwarf that wears little more than a thick robe, a belt and bandoliers carrying some gear, and a large barrel that sloshes as he moves.

Just making sure; thanks for running this!

@GM: Are we supposed to have the Wereguild Thrall boon? I ask because we really didn't attack anyone other than the white wolf we diplomacized with Halvor at the beginning and with the chieftan.?
