Baron Tars Ruukin's page

The Baron rubs his forehead after hearing the back and forth of his two companions, "Oh will you two get a drink and settle down for a minute, it's all good were all friends here." He takes a tug at his wineskin he got from the bar and offers it any of the victims and his comrades.

"Look people this is how it is, we saved your lives from where I'm from that earns a thanks. Though I can see why you all are paranoid at the situation but you gotta realized if we didn't do what we did you wouldn't be thinking at all if you get my drift. Now don'tcha take these as threats, cause we all be kindred spirits since we were imprisoned for false charges and mistreated like the rest of you. Our first priority for you all is to get you all healthy again then maybe show you how to defend yourselves and then after the time has settled then you can choose to stay or leave, all we ask as a reward for saving your lives is to trust us for a little bit and get to know us and what were up too. Our plans are small for now but the outcome is stop injustices like what happened you and us from happening ever again. I am Baron Tars Ruukin citizen of Borallas and I need you all to trust us for a little bit or at least until you be healthy enough to head off on your own, now what do ya say?"

My work has been moving around my shifts a lot lately and I have like 3 weddings this month that I'm in are eating a lot of my response time. I'm sorry for not posting. I didn't have a real feel for this version of Baron but I got his persona now and will be posting better. Sorry Shano, my end has been the problem not yours but it should be stabilizing.

"Indeed, merchants are a good first choice since I got a contact within them. He'll be a good staring point in forming a alliance with the guild."

Baron kicks himself for hanging back too long again, something about this regal talk doesn't sit well with his head. But he's the Baron so he takes a drink from his wineskin and chimes in, "I might be called Baron but I haven't had much dealings with nobility that were legal. Out of all of our group I was the one that wasn't surprised he was arrested just at the charges, though I'm just a street fighter trying to make his way not fulling understanding the politics of the city but I know one thing! If you have the right crew and connections you get to drink with the big boys so what I'm getting at with this unnecessary long speech of mine is were a good crew with each from different walks of life but we fit well together. So Henry what we need to know is what kinda crew and connections you want? So my boy Roku here can make it happen."

"Good job fellas, glad to know if I go down you all will be able to take care of me.Hehe." After making sure each of the people is resting he looks at the group, "So what watch do each of you want?"

Baron be back, after having a blast at Gen Con I came home to a messed up computer and a crazy regime change at my work so this week just flew by. Sorry for the delay.

Like Xzevrra I will be heading to Gen Con today and will not be able to post for the rest of the week. Bot the Baron if you need too.

The Baron charges one of the thugs smashing him with a elbow.

Elbow strike:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Baron giving a grimace at his last hit, "Think I might be still a little rusty, but my skill is still enough to take down these thugs." With that he gives out two quick jabs to the same thug.

Flurry of blows 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Flurry of blows 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage 1: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Damage 2: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Indeed I did forget, so to hit is 25 and damage is now 3. Thanks for the catch their Roku.

And the Baron arrives back just in time, hehe. Sorry for the delay.

Through out the recent events of talking with Aria and her house, the street raised Baron kept his mouth shut trying to avoid causing any further trouble. He followed the group throughout the day and trying to figure what is going on and what's his place.

When the group runs into the thugs he smiles and cracks his knuckles, "I know how to deal wit these wannabes."

He moves in and side kicks one of the punks,

Kick to the Thug: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Sorry about the lack of posting this past week guys, works been insane but should be able to post something tomorrow. Again I apologize for not posting. Should be back to normal this week.

He gives a slight bow to the lady, "Don't worry the Baron ain't a snitch, and I would never put a lovely lady like yourself in danger."

Baron stays quiet as the others talk with the Kellin family in fear he might upset them more. Seeing things have settle down he gives Aria a slight bow and introduces himself, "Not to interrupt the discussion, but I forgot to introduce myself in all the haste of our meeting. My name is Baron Tars Ruukin. IT is a pleasure to meet you."

"Sorry for crushing your friend Miss, I was only trying to get a hold of him to see who he was working for. I go by the handle, Baron Tars Ruukin and I be no angel. May I ask how you and Marty became friends?"

He moves over the coffin and looks to Roku and Scrapeknee and whispers, "I'll open it when your blokes are ready!"

Baron waits for the answer and will open if they ask him too.

"Oops, thought it was tougher then this. Hehe." Barons says as he dusts himself off.

Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Baron interlocks his fingers and cracks his knuckles in a stretch, "Alright boys and girl, I'll hold it down while you all tie it up. Okay?" Not waiting for an answer the wiry youth leaps at the skeleton.

Grapple check:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Sorry works been crazy lately.

Tars muscles tighten when he sees the skeleton, but seeing the others not disturbed by it he loosens up. "I still say we smash it and see who comes, I doubt this thing can reply back. Though as I said before this is more your field then mine, so I'll let you all run this show."

If thats what the holy people want, hehe.

"Guards be easy to avoid they usually stick to routes but, if you all want to break some bones instead I'm game for that. I could use a warm up to see if my skills are still up to par." Baron says with his arms crossed.

"We could smash it and see what comes to avenge or claim it? These type of creatures are a mystery for me, maybe we should go to the caves at least we know how orcs think." Tars says with an arm stretch.

"If the ghost stories be real or urban legend we can use it to keep away unwanted public."
When the group travels, the Baron will travel around 15ft behind them to keep an eye on theirbacks

"Mines sound good to me as well, would rather not rush to a public spot. But we might want to use the garden or the sewer as either a decoy base or if we don't have a lot of faith in the candidate that the fates choose for us." He offers.

"I might have been a little hasty with me words, sounds good to me. Of course my fence is loyal if he wasn't he wouldn't have his tongue, haha" Tars gives a small chuckle.

Tars rolls his eyes, "My connections are trustwor........whatever, so do you have an idea where to start looking?"

With every last crumb and drop finished the Baron looks satisfied. "If it helps I got a few connections in the merchant's guild I could check if they have a place."

Baron Devours his food and enjoys every solid second of it, "My ideals aren't as noble as Mr. Sai or Knee but I want to get back at these bastards for what they did to us and make sure it don't happen to my other mates."

He shakes his head at Scrapeknee, "Man you are quite smooth with the ladies there buddy, hehe." He gives him a smirk. "I just hope she brings our food sometime this era haha."

Too intoxicated by the smells of cooking food and stale wine, Tars ignores Scrapeknee's question to him and comes to when the drinks arrive. He greedily fills his cup and enjoys the sweet nectar. Now a little more focused he responds to the group in a quiet tone, "Terrible act it was, wonder if it had anything to do with our tail yesterday?

Baron chimes in, "Also a bottle of your cheapest wine!"

"Sssooooo where do you guys want to eat?" Baron says trying to break the tension and distract himself for the events about to happen.

Eyeing the mobs action in disgust, he watches weighing out what he can do to help and not giving them away.

Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Knowlege(local):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Knowlege(local):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Count it as a blessing from the Drunken Merc, the guards will be more focused on the mob then looking for us." Baron stands up and streches out his arms and legs then looks back at the group. "So whose up for so eats and a drink?" He gives one of his smirks.

"Good with me, we can talk more over breakfast and a cheap bottle of wine."

"Trust me Scrapeknee I have felt the fury of women, many times. He pauses and winks at Xzevrra then continues, "Though your spiritual beliefs are interesting I'm already spoken for..." With that comment he shows the preacher the back of his hands the right one having a tattoo depicting the silver mug of Cayden Cailen which the notices his whole right arm is covered in tattoos depicting a bar room brawl. Then on his left hand is a symbol of Calistra, which like the right is covered in tattoos though this arm shows a various array of beautiful women in seductive poses all wearing silver slippers.

After the blinding light, his lack of energy hit. Taking the the gold the Baron followed the group and stayed quiet. As the went into Roku's estate he started to perk back up.
Baron started to comment on it when he stopped himself from getting in trouble so he quietly looked around for an liquor cabinet.

perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Baron shares a smirk and delivers to snap kicks to the strange little man.

All damage is non lethal
Flurry strike1:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Flurry Strike2:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage1:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Damage2:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Tars moves behind the guy and flanks with Roku. Then he lets a couple of swift jabs that go a little wild.

Flurry jab 1:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Flurry jab 2:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage1:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Damage2:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
All damage non lethal

Baron sees Roku's tatic and stands by ready to strike if the guy does anything funny.

Tars nods in agreement to the plan and takes to the other wall.

Stealth:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Tars nods at Roku and turns to Scrapeknee then whispers, "Not sure, they're quite skilled haven't made them out yet. What's the game plan? Separate and reconverge on him? I believe I can hide in the crowd and get behind him or her, those are my options?"

Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Scrapeknee chuckles at Baron, "Soon women shall be taking up arms, I've had vision of war changing the world as we know it. I suspect it is upon us. Without a copper to your name, I suppose it is best to look elsewhere besides a bordello."

"Oh the Silver Slipper be one of my many homes, just a suggestion for a safe place to crash. Though it is your guys and gal show so I will be just tagging along." He gives a customary smirk.

As they arrive to the transit staion an Roku pays for himself the Baron looks to Scrapeknee and Xzevrra with his hands held open in mocking need for a loan.

"Well not having a copper to my name right now I will follow with whatever your plan is for now, though Scrape Madame Silk's is all right. BUT if you want a proper brothel to hide in let's head to the Silver Slipper it has the beautiful women in all of Borallas! And they all are personal friends with yours truly." He gives a slight bow as he finishes.

"Scrapeknee which one can we trust? And what do we have for trade or moneywise?"

Hearing what area there in Baron tries to think of any merchants that might be in the area, Knowledge(local):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Baron startled twinges in a defensive position then relaxes when he hears Scrapeknee speak, "It's more of a nickname rather then a title. By the Drunken Merc's last coin it's about time somebody came here, I was thinking I was unpopular." He starts to get up slowly using the wall for balance and looks at Roku, "Half dead? No no, I assure you I have been hungover worse then this *cough* *cough* I swear." He lets out a light laugh that sounds forced. "So hows the old dungeon been? Any new roomies or improvements? Oh what happened to me? I guess the head inquisitor took interest in me and got mad when I didn't know the answers. Something about winds of whispers or lost souls, until I made my daring getaway and decided to wait for you all here I swear." He gives a slight smirk, "Did one of you say you had food? Any drink with that?"

Thanks for the warm welcoming I feel that I am back at the Silver Slipper!
