Bharak Slagsun's page

Life is so easy for a martial without magic. Preparing for fights just boils down to hoping that the dice are kind.

"Right. I'm good to go." Bharak said. "Got three seconds everyone before I open this door, and then it's time to get to work." If anyone had anything they planned to do, now was the time to say it.

"That's a right fine mess we done cleared up. But let's not waste time, there's a cleric that needs dying." Bharak said, as he moved forward.

The sinspawn charged into the room, first into Axton’s spell and then into Bharak’s blade. The dwarf went to work, moving with a speed that belied his short stature. If the creatures thought that he would be slow and ponderous, then it was a fatal miscalculation.

Bharak had no idea what the creature said, but he knew that it was loud enough for others to hear. Without missing a beat, his blade came down again, and again, and again. He knew that these creatures would give no mercy, but by the same token, he was not prepared to offer it either.

With the door thrown open, Bharak immediately swung at the nearest sinspawn. It was far from a killing blow, but it was enough to draw blood. Or whatever it was within the creatures that passed for it.

"Right. Let's say hello." Bharak threw the door open, his blade in hand. He anticipated the 'whoosh' of Vhane's bolt flying past his head, trusting the other dwarf to aim true. He couldn't help but smile, looking forward to a brawl where his mind would not be tampered with.

Roll call. Want to check in to see who is here and wants to keep going.

I can charge into this room with hammer swinging, but don’t want it to be “Bharak scouts so he chooses where to go, and he charges into the room as well.”

While the others read the contents, Bharak nodded. "Aye, let's clear this place out right good. The fewer guardians they have left, the fewer forces they can bring down upon us." The issue of rituals, portals, and the like? That is what experts were for. And this was not his expertise.

Wonderful :)

Coming in through the flames, which had only moments before died down, Bharak rushed to the attack. Blades flashing, he sought to make quick work of the creature, lest he once more have an alien presence in his mind.

”Right then, in we go.” Bharak said. He was tired of waiting and losing momentum. He had a blade and the enemy had a throat. It was time.

Bharak took a deep breath. "Right. Nasty fooker inside. I plan to cut it up right quick, but we should get ready first. Anyone have any blessings or spells they want to prepare first?"

The dwarf wiped his brow, removing perspiration that had formed when dealing with the trapped door. It was only part of the way through that the full implications of the trap had become apparent, and by then it was too late to back out. By fate or fortune, they had gotten through unscathed though.

"The portal seems to be operational. Let's finish exploring everything inside of here first, aye?"

D2 and then D3?

Silently Bharak entered the room. With the step and eye of a professional, he moved about, searching for anything of danger. Be it a hidden wire, a stone out of place, or the tell-tale hum of magical energy imperfectly hidden. He fully trusted his companions to figure out the what the architecture and decor meant. He was focused on his job. Ensuring their safety and getting the door safely open.

Bharak led the group away from the jars of the souls and to the north. It felt like they had been in the room long enough to see the year come to an end! It was time to move on.

Happy new year! :D

”Aye. I’ll slash them up regardless of what they can do, cause it’s what I do. But it does sound like we should move on for now. Avoid the hags while we can, while keeping an eye out for any sign of them. And it sounds like me scouting ahead is even more dangerous now, as I’m not equipped to see invisible enemies.” He said, moving away from the jars. If the others were ready day to move on, so was he.

”Lets hope. We have more than enough troubled. But the fook are these jars? I’m of a mind to break them, but I’d like to know what they are first.”

"Understandable. Have a nice day." Bharak said, as he backed out of the room.

Once back with his companions, he said "A death threat, but one of the friendliest I've had. The short of it, is that the nasty looking creature there said that it is leaving in a day, and said that if I don't leave there'll be a fight. So...let's move on. Plenty to do here without taking it up on its offer, aye?"

Bharak is at 46 wounds? I think we healed up...? I'll have to go back and check

"Right. Wish me luck then." Bharak said, as he took a deep breath and loosened his shoulders. "If they attack me, then kill them all. Otherwise, let's at least try and talk to these. They might be enslaved, for all we know."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Walking forward, Bharak came in with his blade resting on his shoulder. Waving, he said "Oi there! Lads n' myself are clearing this place out, freeing any who are trapped. Any of ye in need of assistance?"

I’ll get a post up soon. Will try the Bharak charm

As a stout dwarf, Bharak was rarely laid low by such mundane concerns as disease. Unlike fragile humans...which was relevant here, as otherwise the group might have been held up.

Feeling better now, thanks to everyone for waiting. Also while Bharak has the scouting skills, everyone can choose our direction. I merely choose it when no-one else has, to keep things moving.

"She makes a good plan. We've a duty to finish what we started. And we can hit the forge next." The exile gave a wry smile, even when shamed, his heart was still of the mountains. "I'm looking forward to seeing what excuse this place has for a forge."

”It would be awfully rude to not check. It’s the least we can do.” He said. He was quite glad that they had found more resources to give them a second chance at life. He hoped though that they wouldn’t need it…

Feels strange fighting something that doesn't die almost immediately doesn't it?

It fills me with existential dread!!

Seeing Ryn fly overhead, only to gracefully land with shield planted firmly into it's lower back...Bharak yelled out "Bah! I could have done that." Said the dwarf. His feet firmly planted into the ground. Nothing, in his entire existence, supported that statement.

The world, Bharak reflected, was a dangerous place. He had spent many a month wandering the wilderness alone, surviving alone. Coming close to dying, alone. With the creature bearing down on him, he could not help but remember some of those close calls. The chances of this being his final fight would have been high, if it were not for his comrades. Silviana's blessings had stood between him and a horrific death from being drawn into the maw of the monster they fought. For her blessings, he gave thanks. And he did so by thrusting his own blade down its gullet.

The prison exploded with fire and smoke following Axton's fireball. Through this haze came Bharak, charging in with his blade held up high. At the last moment he saw the Baregara. Locking eyes with it, he brought his blade down....

Happy thanksgiving to everyone!

Bharak stood by the door and took a deep breath. "Once more into the deeps." He said, blade in hand. He was ready to throw the door open and get started.

Lets not let this campaign die. It’s gone on too long and we have a great GM. Bharak will go in first and everyone follows. Standard fighting procedure

It was odd, as it felt like the group had been away for many days. Perhaps it was a lingering effect of the divine conflict that happened. Regardless, things could be worse. They could have been like the priest Kafog. Who, if one thought about it, might have enjoyed his final moments? One could never tell with those mad enough to worship the God of Pain.

"Not a bad idea heading to the prison." Bharak said. "Only one way in and out. Make sure it is cleared before we move on."

We are back!

Just quoted the item. Asked how much the iron costs and it gave me the above.

As for the other part…

True Resurrection is a 9th level spell with 25k spell component. According to this a 9th level scroll is just 3825. So 28,825 is the value of the resurrection.

Getting the gold is thus much more valuable. Unless you need a resurrection right now, in which case supply and demand make the resurrection worth it.

I think a lot also depends on the buyer. An alchemists guild might pay how much we can earn just so they can study it and try and recreate it.

I asked chatgpt for help with this...

From the Core Rulebook (Trade Goods table):

Iron, 1 lb. — 1 sp (0.1 gp)

Lead, 1 lb. — 2 sp (0.2 gp)

Base Metal Max Transmuted Cost per lb Total Cost
Iron → Silver 5,000 lbs 0.1 gp 500 gp
Lead → Gold 1,000 lbs 0.2 gp 200 gp

Transmutation Result Value Input Cost Net Gain
Iron → Silver 25,000 gp 500 gp +24,500 gp
Lead → Gold 50,000 gp 200 gp +49,800 gp

Net Gain: 24500 + 49800 = 74300 Or 14,8860 each.

The issue is that it takes 10 ranks in craft alchemy to use. I...could see us trying to sell it instead, if nobody wants to get the ranks. Or buy all of that ore. If that is the case, we could try selling it for something like 70k, so we each get a solid split of 14k each?

"A philosopher's stone, lass! Bards back home would sing of this. Now, the issue with it, is that it takes a trained alchemist to use. But if ye have one? It turns iron into silver and lead into gold!" He held it up, all but forgetting the actual reason why they were even at the fallen temple. These beauties are said to only work for as single day. And ye'd need about six thousand pounds of materials to work with. But when ye be done? It is said that the lad who found one bought that much raw ore and turn it all into gold. Six. Thousand. Pounds. Of gold!"[/b] He looked at his companions, gauging their reactions.

As the others talked, Bharak only paused and stared. Work a hand that was almost trembling he lifted up a stone. ”Lads…eh…lass…” He said, his eyes never leaving the stone. ”Is this what I think it is? Because I think it’s a philosopher’s stone.” He paused, letting it sink in. ”The amount of gold we can earn with this is…” He trailed off, lost in thought.

"Failing to grapple Bharak for impregnation the Gongorian decides to remove him from his misery with a full attack."

+3 hit invocation, +2 hit good hope, 2 damage good hope, blessing of fervor

Bharak was blissfully unaware of the horrid fate that almost claimed him. But he did know that he detested the creature before him...terrified at the idea of losing his mind again, he swung with reckless abandon. This was...not the best tactic for actually putting it down.

Bharak growled as he took a nasty blow in return, his own blood running down his side. If it were not for his intense focus, he would certainly have been pinned down. As it was, he broke free, savagely hacking away at the monstrosity.

Oh no...that is ominous.

For once, Bharak’s mind remained his own. Rushing in, he buried his blade into the creature. This was done with a hint of desperation, for he truly did not want it to get inside his head.

"No treasure. No traps. Nothing to kill, nothing trying to kill us." Bharak summarized. "Follow me. We'll stop when we come across one of the above."

And thank you for the Magic Vestment. :)

Bharak nodded his thanks to Silviana for the fortification of his armor. It made him feel far more secure.

"Great. A statue of a goddess in a temple dedicated to the Gods." He looked the statue up and down and decided to keep it to himself that she looked far too gangly. I for nothing else, it seemed like a bad idea to invite the ire of the divine. "I'll look around for any traps or the like. Otherwise, there seems to be only one way left to go."

Was about to say that. But yeah, thanks for remembering me and my dearly departed slayer. :)
Given the character change quite easy to forget that it was the same account, so no worries to our GM.

I’m (obviously) very glad to see you here. Also, wasn’t expecting the class choice. I remember reading it and thinking it looked interesting, but aside from that I’ve never seen it used. Really looking forward to seeing your character in action.

I sent out an invite in the discussion of another campaign I’m in. Two people there, both are excellent players. Will see if either one is looking to join another campaign.

"Look at that haul." Bharak said, as they went over what they had found. "A treasure trove of healing. Whomever can use these, claim them now. These can't be for sale." The horror of what they had encountered was smoothed over by the bounty that was discovered.

Once that was done, Bharak said "Let's head north, aye?"

"I HAVE!" Bharak roared as a blade fell upon the creature. "HAD!" Another blow, hitting as hard as the first. "ENOUGH!" With one final burst of energy, Bharak brought his blade down a third time, breaking through it's hard exterior and into the softness within. HIs face was a mask of anger and disgust at the *thing* before him.
