Benlei d'Iction's page

I can't take on another adventure right now, or I'd love to.

Alright, seems like you have your five, Stylz. Enjoy the trip, everyone!

Looks like you'll have enough without a second character from me. I'm going to let these guys take the spots while I work on my encounter.

EDIT: Unless you need the body, in which case I have an inquisitor of Gorum I could toss in.

If you gave me a bit of time to think about a new character, I'd be down. It doesn't seem there's much interest in the 3-5.

Link followed!

He means Gameplay. If you throw a dot in there, you'll be able to see all the updates in your campaigns. I strongly recommend it.

Also, my life is back under control and I'm ready to re-enter the lists!

I'm sorry. Between my grandfather's death and a move across the country, gaming's my least big priority, and I'm going to be dropping this game.

Sorry about vanishing on everyone. A cross-country road trip will do that. I'm catching up on my games now and will be posting today or tomrrow.

Benlei reaches for her blade as the cart nears the village and begins oiling it. When the half-elf informs her of the smoke, she turns to take a look, but says nothing until they draw closer.

On arriving at the village, she drops off the wagon as well, moving forward at a more sedate pace, her hand on her hilt. "The Dawn guide us...We should begin our search for this madman immediately. Jehron, do you have any leads we could begin with? If not, these cottages may have some hint. Either way, I'm certain the Dawn will put this mystery to rest soon enough."

Sense Motive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

Arcing a puzzled eyebrow at Bartholomew's antics, Benlei climbs up as well. She sits against the side of the cart, looking out over the side, and waits for sleep to come.

Benlei nods at the half-elf, grinning. "I can't promise I'll track it, but if we can find it, I can fight it. The Dawn will protect you and your community, I swear."

I'm fine with running only four. We've got a decent party here, so it should work out.

I believe so, Jac. There may even be room for one more.

Have you tried PMing some of the people from previous games? It's possible that they just never dotted the Endless Encounters Gameplay thread, so they didn't get the update that there was a new game.

Welcome aboard!

Doomlords of Terror

Should we maybe bump the Endless Encounters thread? Seems slow to fill.

Guess I won't be seeing Withal on this one, then? Ah well, gotta adventure with new people eventually!

Dot!

Benlei is ready. Swashbuckler/Paladin. Also, that's a cool avatar.

Benlei is ready to re-enter the lists.

I was taking the Meditation Crystal (100) and the Mask of the Living God (2100). I guess that leaves 1200 in coins.

I think I just want my Mask (paid for out of my funds so it'll be easier to figure out WBL) and gold. I don't really need the stones, even with the wayfinder (I think).

"I believe we were in the middle of a sale, but that can wait. Did you know your cat was a demon?" Benlei points to the burn mark and the corpse before taking a knee next to Jacaranda.

Heal (Stabilize): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12

Benlei moves quickly past the creature toward Withal, trying to dodge any attacks that may come her way and flank with the dinosaur. Her scimitar flashes again as she spins in a quick slashing pattern.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 3 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

I think it's because he's large, at least in part.

My attacks should bypass DR, since I'm smiting. Just an FYI. AC is 21 vs. the devil.

As the devil's fangs punch into Jacaranda, Benlei takes another swing at it. The blow doesn't have much power behind it, though.

Get away from it, gnome! I'll take it."

Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 3 = 26
Damage?: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

"What have you done to that cat, fiend?!" Without waiting for a response, Benlei whirls around, robes flying, and charges back the way she came. As she goes, she calls the wrath of Sarenrae down upon the demon.

Scimitar Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 (+3 if Evil)
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 (+1 if Evil)
Crit?: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 1 = 31 (+3 if Evil)
Crit Damage?: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 (+1 if Evil)

Full Round: Charge, Swift Action: Smite. AC is currently 19 vs. the cat-fiend (if evil) and 16 vs. anything else.

Benlei charges across the floor, screaming out a high-pitched prayer to the Dawnflower. "Sarenrae, interpose my blade between this creature's foul paws and my friend's tiny bodies!" Her blade blurs as she swings it at the cat's flank in an attempt to shift the thing's attention.

Scimitar Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Crit?: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 1 = 26
Crit Damage?: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Charging. AC is 16 until next round. If it attacks me, I'll use a panache point to parry its first attack.

Just checking in for the Contentious GM game. He has returned, and it seems we're moving again!

Initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

I'm starting to be a bit concerned, given that it's been a week.

Wondering what's going on. Seems like it's been a while.

"Benlei," Benlei looks at the demonspawn, arching an eyebrow. "Benlei d'Iction. Although..." She shoots a faked glare at Withal before grinning. "Red is fine, and you can keep your drink."

Whirling her blade around in her hand, she begins to stride toward the kitchen. "Well, we had best look into what it is you've found"

"Are we certain we want to take these, even if they aren't cursed or trapped? They do belong to that ridiculously large wizard, after all, and right now he would not even need to cast. He could just step on us."

Looking at the box, Benlei starts having second thoughts about whatever was in it, and she edges away from it. [b]"I say we try to return to our normal size first and worry about material gains second.

"Let me try." Benlei gives the brick a pull, struggling with her size and the thing's weight.

Strength: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Stopping her advance, Benlei half-turns to look at the red-haired gnome while trying to keep an eye on the spiders. "Don't you think it might be wise not to go in too many directions? I saw something stuck in the bricks, near where those spiders are. We should pick one thing to look at first, especially with our eight-legged friends here."

She nods quickly at Shalin. "Well, if by playthings it meant the size of a children's doll, then that voice has certainly succeeded. We should stay alert." Glancing toward the floorboard, Benlei begins looking for signs of evil.

No move. Will begin using Detect Evil. If we're not in combat rounds, I'd like to assume I wait three rounds to figure out everything I can.

"I think those spiders are our concern, certainly. There is something stuck in the bricks of that fireplace, and since I am tiny, I want to see what it is. Maybe we can get the spiders to leave without a fight." Drawing her tiny sword, Benlie begins moving across the floorboards toward the fireplace. As she goes, she brandishes her blade, hoping to drive the spiders back.

Intimidate (can I even do this?): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Initiative (if needed: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

In the middle of reaching over to shake the wazard's hand, Benlei suddenly is hit by a wave of vertigo. She looks at the ginormous wizard, then at the slightly-less-tall tiefling.

"By the Dawnflower, someone will answer for this." She looks back up at the wizard. "You need to fix us at once. I cannot carry your friend's trinkets at this size!"

Fort Save!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Mine's going to end more well!

Benlei sees the allosaurus standing at the door, and for half a second she's looking for her sword-hilt before she remembers. Right, Withal.

She looks at him, nodding quickly, before turning back to the wizard. "I'm afraid I don't have that kind of coin to throw around, even for a friend of the faith. I would be interested in the flask and the crystal, though. Does 200 sound reasonable for those?"

Adjusting her robes and swordbelt and stepping quickly into the store, Benlei glances around and takes in the scene. "Did you have any of the Dawnflower's old relics? I was looking for a new holy symbol, something with a bit of flare, but none of the other shops had quite what I was looking for."

She nods to the cat-man, keeping an eye on him even as she begins to look over the shelves, but doesn't introduce herself for now.

Benlei reporting for duty.

Also, "Here"

What Withal said. I'm just hanging out.

Benlei D'iction is now level two, and is ready.

dotting for keeping track of the recruitment thread.

Seems fair to me. I'll just have to adjust my character in the next day or two.

I'm fine with selling the dagger and sword.

Awesome encounter, GM!

We have quite a bit of value there, don't we? Um...what's everything worth?

"I suppose we should complete our task." Benlei looks doubtfully at Lyoto as he binds the tiefling. "I do not think he still draws breath, friend. Let us be on our way."

"I think perhaps that was a bad idea..." Benlei kneels down to check the Tiefling's pulse. "So, this...Aspis Consortium. And this society. Who are the good guys, and who are the bad?"

Heal (untrained): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

I've recently become aware that today is "GM's Day". Thanks for running this!
