"We should just mark the walls so we know which way we've been." says Bastion.

"I have no fear of fighting; indeed, Vanitthu demands that all of his priests stand in defense of others."
Bastion takes up the rear, guarding the party from ambush.
Bastion paused for a moment to cast some buff spells on the group: *Ant Haul on himself.
"I will summon more protections on demand as we venture further in." Bastion said.
"Alcohol leads to slurred speech, slowed reflexes, and a dulled mind. It's also poison."
"It's not funny." remarks Bastion without looking at Lars; his eyes instead scan the environment, looking for hidden dangers.
"Why would you call it a six pack? What if there were only two?"
"A group of bears is clearly called a mauling." offers Bastion with a completely serious tone of voice.
Bastion casts Cure Moderate Wounds on Sorek.
"I don't know the answer to your first question, but as to your second question, it takes time and equipment to properly tan hides and smoke meat; I don't believe anyone is carrying that much salt, either."
It's been in the high 80s here, so summer will be starting for us probably early next month or the end of this month.
Bastion casts Barkskin on himself.
Bastion takes a 5' step straight south then casts Prayer.
"Beware, there are likely druids preparing to attack us, as they have summoned and sent massive bears against us!"
"Assuming that our enemies are not trying to lull us into a false sense of security before they strike." said Bastion.
"I am a priest of Vanitthu, although I was not warned that there were invisble creatures, so I have not prepared Vanitthu's ward against such magic."
"So his singing produces harmful sonic damage to those who listen?"
Bastion calls to Sorek without taking his eyes off the Dwarf "Do you know this Dwarf, and how sure are you that he's not a doppelganger?"
Bastion turns around and looks.
"I wonder if they wanted us to attack them?"
"Be that as it may, we'll be going now, and you should probably head out if you don't want to spend the night on the road." Bastion said, doing his best to keep his voice and face non-confrontational.
"Well, good luck with that. We haven't seen any bandits so far, but it's only been a day since we left town."
"I would say that there are alot of you out here as well. Where are you riding to?"
"Simple travelers making our way. How is the road behind you? you see any bandits or anything of the like?"
As one of the greatest bands ever created said "You're older than you've ever been, and now you're even older, and now you're even older; you're older than you've ever been and now you're older still."
"I don't think they're tracking us, as they would be following behind if they were."
"It could just be that they are riding back towards town, but let's assume that they're coming to assassinate us. We should be ready to ambush them."
We should honestly probably have Grelldar and I on middle watch, since we both have good perception mods and darkvision.
Like I said, I'm here to fill in with what your party needs, so if the group feels that a more casting focused cleric is needed, I can do that. Just let me know cause this is a good time to swap characters.
"Allow me to answer your questions: First, I am a warrior and protector first and a healer second. I am not, however, trained or of an inclination to hide among the wizards, using no magic but that which sustains life." Bastion shrugged and said "As I said before, my philosophy is to prevent damage rather than attempt to heal it; thus, I use the magic that I am granted to empower myself and my allies, so that limited damage may be suffered to begin with. This is not, however, to say that I will not heal wounds should the need arise, but I believe an ounce of caution supercedes a pound of cure." "I also wield a simple spear; not only the weapon of my god, but the trusted armament of soldiers everywhere." "Now that you have told me about your companions, I am more than willing to bring up the rear of the group and protect the flank from ambushes, as well as making sure that there is an escape route available."
Bastion listens while he eats the remainder of his meal. He eats quickly, but he opts to take small bites instead of shovelling food into his face. Pulling out a square of cloth, he dabs his mouth clean and says "Please be more specific. For example:" at this, Bastion stands and says "I am a cleric in the service of Vanitthu, lord of protectors. I can cast the fourth circle of magic, and I specialize in channelling the protection aspect of my lord. When combat begins, you will find me at the forefront, where I was be using my lord's sacred weapon to protect you all. I will use his gifts to heal if necessary, but I believe that preventing my allies from falling in the first place is a better investment in the magic that I have received from my god. I am also quite adept at spotting ambushes and reading the deeds, both good and ill, that lie within someone's heart. I am a fair-to-middling tactician, but far from a general. In the morning I prefer to enchant my weapon and armor using magic. I also have the ability that is ubiquitous to most priests: the ability to channel raw positive energy in order to heal wounds. I have the ability to see in the dark thanks to my race." patting the shield on his back, Bastion finishes with "As I mentioned, I will be in the vanguard, attempting to draw as much enemy ire as possible, as that way I can heal myself should the need arise faster than healing any of you."
"Do none of your original group have darkvision, either naturally or from magic?" Bastion asked, then looked around. At Sorek's suggestion of Chalk, Bastion snorts and says "Are we going to draw some pretty pictures on the walls? Don't the walls of that place rearrange and rooms change shape? What makes you think that a map, or a marking on the wall would remain?" "Perhaps you should tell me what resources and abilities you have, so I can know how best to protect you, even from yourselves."
And now there's just the three of us Lom, Lars and myself "And me." said the Half-Orc in between bites of his food. "My lord sent me a vision to come here and join you, and here I am."
The Armored man who entered was fully helmed, and after scanning the bar, he approached the Bartender and pulled off his helm, revealing an obvious Half-Orc, this one with a closed shaved head and a single scar that ran over his right eye. He was powerfully-built, and clearly a young man. Unlike many of his race, This Half-Orc almost seemed to radiate a sort of wary inner peace, as if his vigilance made him relaxed. He ordered a plate of whatever they had to eat and some water to wash it down and looked around to find a table. A metal holy symbol of Vanitthu hung from around his neck, and there was another coil of rope that disappeared under the breastplate of his fullplate armor that indicated he likely wore another one there. Whether he had heard the old man's story or not, he did not appear to react. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scooping his helmet under his arm, he took up a seat at a nearby table and intoned a prayer over his food with his holy symbol, the jumbled language of magic stumbling from his lips. Spellcraft DC 15:
Detect Poison. He stared intently at his food when it was delivered, and then swept around the room as well, his rather intense gaze clearly searching.
true. I was just trying to explain why I said what I said.
With the list if items you want: trapspringers gloves: 4 days
Upgrading my +2con belt into a +2con/+2dex: 6 days Boots of the Cat: 1 day You're looking at 13 days crafting for your stuff alone (assuming he doesn't want to craft anything for anyone else or himself) and you would be without your belt for 6 days and without the full effect for 7 days. Crafting is a long-term investment, but that's the tradeoff for getting the exact gear that you want, as opposed to whatever the GM throws at you/you can find to buy. Super Quick Primer on Item Creation: So here's a quick rundown on making an item. First, you need materials equal to half the cost of the item. Next, you need a distraction free place to work. Finally, you need to have the feat. Then it's just a matter of: 1) pick the item and note it's crafting requirements and base cost;
I think it's a time issue more than anything else: one person can work on one item at a time, and it takes 1 day/1k gp of the base price. Depending on the item, it can take months of game time.
I have skills in my alias as well. I just don't have many =(
@Bastion you inherit from our noble line of previous clerics the following items... Duly noted. I'll add them onto my character and won't assume them when we're first introduced. With that being said, however, you might want to give the alchemical items to the alchemist. As far as treasure split goes, I will pass. I have a character with level appropriate wealth, and I haven't earned anything yet.
yup, so I removed it. If you take a look at my alias, I've updated it to reflect the approved sources.
My god's weapon is a spear, so I'll stick with that.
Hello friends!
