Berethor of Gondor's page

Also I'm all updated

Berethor will advance with the utmost caution. He will approach with Elarinya, using his shield to defend the both of them. He will attack the nearest foe.

Defensive Stance; Standing in Defense of Elarinya

Attack: 3d6 + 1d12 ⇒ (3, 3, 5) + (9) = 20

5 Endurance Damage

Protection: 1d6 + 1d12 ⇒ (3) + (10) = 13
Spent point of Hope is a success. Also LM, did my bowshot kill one of them? Unless they have something special wounds kill bad guys.

Sorry to see you leave, Tilly! That sounds fine to me, Tarondor; I think we've got a good group here that can maintain.

Berethor will attempt a shot Sorry I misunderstood the flow!.

Bow: 1d6 + 1d12 ⇒ (5) + (10) = 15

The bow is not Berethor's preferred weapon, but he manages to get off a good shot!

If it hits, 10 is a potential Piercing Blow, TN 14. If it misses, I will spend Hope. 5 Endurance Damage as well if it hits.

Berethor will advance cautiously, stout shield in front of him. He will stand in front of the two companions that took shots with their bows. As soon as the men enter into melee range, Berethor will slash with his long sword. Seeing Elarinya attempt to strike two foes in one smooth motion, Berethor will follow suit.

Swift Strokes Called Shot: 3d6 + 1d12 ⇒ (1, 1, 6) + (8) = 16

Twelve Endurance damage if it hits. If it misses I will spend Hope. I am in Defensive Stance. Current TN to be hit is 22.

I was also quite busy! Still around though. I will post an action.

Search: 1d12 ⇒ 5

Battle: 2d6 + 1d12 ⇒ (3, 1) + (5) = 9

Berethor will go Defensive Stance; since that's farther along in initiative, I will wait to describe what he does.

Sorry to hear that, sir! And indeed, take your time. I'd way rather people not burn themselves out.

Primrose, 12 is an auto-success, not a great success
Athletics: 1d6 + 1d12 ⇒ (2) + (9) = 11
Awareness: 2d6 + 1d12 ⇒ (4, 2) + (2) = 8

LM, I would like to spend Hope to succeed on Athletics and invoke Keen-eyed for a success on Awareness.

There is no hesitation in Berethor. He follows Morwenn, but is running full tilt.

After rousing the people, Berethor is out the door, keeping pace with Elarinya.

It's my general assumption that we're only awarded A.P. for rolls the LM calls for, and thus I have not marked any yet.

I like 15. Young enough that 5 years has made a significant weight, height and hair difference.

Before Morwenn leaves, Berethor fixes her with a look.
"Let us do both."

With the ease of authority gained through earned command, and a booming voice accustomed to giving orders over the din of battle, Berethor projects, his baritone filling the inn.

"PEOPLE OF BREE! There is a fire in Combe, visible even from here! If you have your wits about you, ensure the safety of your home, family and friends! If all is well here, your neighbors in Combe need you! Make ready to heal those that need it, and put out what fires you can! I say again, your neighbors need you! Now GO!"
Inspire: 3d6 + 1d12 ⇒ (4, 2, 6) + (5) = 17
Assuming a TN of 14 that's a Great Success.

Berethor nods at Tilly and Elarinya.
"I must go. People might need me. You're welcome to join!"

Berethor wastes no more time and is swiftly after Morwenn.

He's young. Like 20. Been in the Gondorian army for 5 years, newly minted to the Tower Guard.

Berethor, noticing Tilly's blush, couldn't help but grin. There was certainly something fetching about this young woman. True, the Noldor beside her was beautiful, but it was an otherworldly, almost alien sort of beauty; something to be admired from afar.

"I'm unsure that bravery enters much into it; I was merely raised to the life of a soldier. The right skills, the proper lineage, and more than a little luck led to my position. It is a curious order of my Lord that sees me out so far from the gates of Gondor, but I do my best to serve my people."

Noticing Morwenn's exit, and rapid return, Berethor suddenly shifts in attitude. He sits up straighter, eyes casting about for trouble.
"I know that Ranger. Something might be wrong; the actions of Morwenn are not purposeless."

Berethor will stand and approach Morwenn.
"You've a hasty look about you; is some danger afoot?"

Berethor will clink Tilly's mug with his own.
"I am curious; how might you two know one another? Not often do the Elves deign to travel outside their own halls. Surely there must be something quite special about you, Mistress Tilly, that one would come so far afield for your company!"

Before sitting down, Berethor will bow graciously to Tilly.
"Begging your pardon, mistress; please forgive any rudeness on my part! I have never had the opportunity to speak with one of the Eldar before, and I suppose I wished to seem impressive by speaking the Elven tongue. A...bit gauche, in hindsight. I am Berethor, as she said, of the Tower Guard of the White City, and I am at your service, and already far in your debt, should you choose to grant me forgiveness."

He favoured Tilly with a dashing smile. He truly did not mean any offense, and was determined to make a good impression.

You and me both! Gotta make that money :p

Berethor orders another cup of ale, allowing himself a small smile. It would be all the better if the Dunlender was close by; Berethor wouldn't have to find excuses to keep an eye on the wild warrior, then.

"It seems we'll have quite the group this eve. Reminds me of when the other guards and I would get off shift! We ran up quite a tab at the local tavern."

I would say that that would reveal that Berethor is marking Lothac quite closely. Berethor has made no move to his weapons, however, and does not seem as though he is planning any violence.

Yeah, I'm more worried about the arm. I work in the food service industry; my restaurant just got mobile tablets, and using it jacked up my arm. Hopefully it's easily fixable.

I kind of came down with a flu and an arm injury that makes typing difficult; still around though! Sorry for the delay

Berethor manages to contain his glowering at Lothac, but only barely. There was no flicker of recognition from the Dunlender; and why should there be? Berethor had been a stripling when they had crossed paths, and Lothac a full-grown man.

But Berethor would never forget the lesson that he had been taught that day.

The Gondorian shifted in his seat, noticing Morwenn and marking well the position of Lothac. then approached the female Elf and woman of Bree. Berethor cleared his throat politely, then spoke in Sindarin.

Oh, sorry, I must have missed that!

Yeah, that's cool with me :)

Tarandor;
In my head, Denethor has been shown something through his secret Palantir. Perhaps it is Isildur's heir, come now to be a doughty Man, and Denethor, in his darkness, fears the usurpation of his power. Perhaps the Enemy is attempting to lure a young scion of Gondor to Eriador for nefarious purposes. Or perhaps Denethor merely wishes information on the movement of the Dunedain of the North. I can see any of those being true.

Thalion is still alive, though he is retired from active duty. He serves as sort of drill sergeant, training new recruits, and is generally well-respected and well-liked.

Working on altering my sheet now.

Mmmmmm cheese.

What's damage?

I think you could also use it in certain social situations; tending the hearth of a host and creating a warm, welcoming fire. It would probably super help Travel rolls, too.

Oh yeah, my questions are also answered.

BTW, is anyone taking the "Leader" calling? I didn't want to do that on two separate characters but I think it's a cool one.

I dig it!

I'm down with that, Lothac. I envision Berethor as having fought in many border skirmishes with distinction before getting selected to the Tower Guard. Maybe Lothac gave a young Gondorian his first scar?

This is EW, checking in with Berethor. Working on your questions now, Tarandor :)
