Bogard Sanderstone's page

Bogard sleeps throught the weekend, still blissfully unaware how close the party came to dying. Once he awakes, and someone recounts the details, he whistles low and mutters "Guess I'm glad I slept through that one..."

It's fun to sometimes not be guaranteed of victory. Thanks for the game, GM! Even though I was out for much of the end, it was thrilling to see if we would survive! Hope you had a nice Easter weekend.

If only Produce Mud had worked!

Bogard dreams of his life as a child, picking flowers...

While out of the woods, Bogard remains unconscious but is no longer dying. He smiles as he dreams of better days.

I assume I would have just taken the healing potion...

Yikes!

Bogard bleeds all over the ground.

DC 12 recovery check: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Dying 1 now, correct?

Thanks for the explanation! I believe, though, I was not able to get adjacent and strike - but I may have been thinking strike was 2 actions at the time, and stopped short (thinking of 1e tactics to be a 5' step on next round...So yes, strike is my original intention, but interact was what I "said", even though I also assume I had a staff already in hand. So, given that strike is a single action, that is what Bogard will do.

Strike: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

I'll just spend the 2 actions then. I don't really have anything for a single action.

Bogard strides forward, and attacks.
2 actions to move, one to ready staff 2-handed

Bogard takes point to try and help keep the group from springing any ancient, or more current, traps that may have been set.

Perception, search for traps: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Yes, but...

As the others are going to opposite direction, Bogard will pick up his tools and head after them.

”Wonder how long that’s been there.”

"This one seems stuck."

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

"If you like, I can check."

Bogard picks an entrance and starts checking for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

"Great day for a climb, don't you think?"

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

”Sure, treasure sounds good. You want to talk out here?”

Ok, ready to go. Thanks,

Are you all still short a player? This is a new character, but if you are still in need of a party member, I could join in.

Bogard, of course, examines the trap and confirms the situation. "Very well, he may not be a complete scoundrel..." he admits grudgingly.

Wow, that was quick! Thanks for the game! I think I need to re-read the rules again to better figure out this combat stuff.

"Honor, eh? Cause a thief, liar and fraud definitely deserves some honor."

Bogard is clearly disgusted with the man, but shrugs. "So, before we go anywhere, why don't you tell us everything. What all have you found so far."

Bogard holds his staff out in front of him in a defensive stance. He steps toward the large mummy and swings with both hands.

For future reference, Bogard uses his staff as a walking stick and to poke and prod for traps, so he probably was considered armed - but I don't see it making a difference here.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"Excavating this is a pretty big task... best we leave it for another day. I say we head back and check those doors before tracking all of the way back."

When they get there, Bogard will do another safety check and also tries to feel the doors and listen close, just to see if anything can be learned before trying to open them.

"Didn't I say my job was to find and disable such things? Yes, this is the danger of these sorts of finds."

Leaving the others to help the speared goblin, Bogard sets about checking to are to make sure others don't quickly suffer the same fate.

Find still armed traps: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"Sounds like everything is in order. Thieves... well, that's a common risk, of course, but you look like a capable crew, so I suspect only the most fool-hardy would try anything with us. Although I admit, sometimes I don't mind giving dem thieves a good thrashing, the dirty scoundrels."

The dwarf who speaks from the back of the room looks like he has just come from the desert, blonde hair and goggles show signs of fresh dirt, and his beige and tan clothing look like perfect camouflage for hiding in the sands.

"Nice to meet you all. I am sure we will get to know each other quite well on this trip. Me... names Bogard, and I tend to run point to keep the rest of you outta trouble. A lot of these old finds are trapped to protect from those very thieves you mentioned. Finding and disabling them are my specialty. Sometimes a little finesse, and sometimes" he says holding up a solid looking staff "a little smashing."

Sorry - work kicked my butt this week (huge deadline), but I will catch up!

Sorry I am a little late checking in, but wasn't sure what sort of character I wanted to go with. So meet Bogard Sanderstone, scout and trap finder/diffuser.
