Sorry for disappearing. I'm just having a hard time getting back to doing online stuff with all of the other things going on with work and my kids' schools. I'm afraid I have to officially drop out.

"I appreciate your healing magic as always, Greta, but I am afraid my destiny is a path of war, not of love. Perhaps she will be pleased by a suitable gift at the next dwarven wedding I have a chance to attend?"
Beat up, Bormann allows the power of rage to surge through his muscles (gaining 18 hit points for the duration) and charges at the blinded giant.
Bormann steps up and takes a whack at the ooze. But he apparently encounters a slippery patch on the way and completely misses.
Having wounded the orc to his side badly, Bormann leaves it to Rask's tender mercies and lays into one of the archers.
Bormann takes advantage of the gap left by the fallen orc and bounds forward until he's in their midst (risking an AoO in the process). "You'll shoot arrows from the rear no more, vermin! You face Bormann Grimm and will meet your death!"
"That did not take long. The place must be infested with the scum," Bormann remarks as he hefts Torag's Edge and heads in to back-up Kurag and Beetle.
Bormann introduces himself to Umlo, "And I am Bormann Grimm of the lost Sky Citadel of Koldukar. If you wield a weapon a bravely as you wield a frying pan, then you have my respect."
"How do giants live as long as they do when they are as stupid as they are?" Bormann asks... rhetorically.
Bormann steps forward to attack the orc directly in front of him in order to keep the orcs on the defensive. If he fells his first target, he shifts his second attack to the other orc.
Bormann aims another wicked chop at his wounded foe. ”You face the wrath of the Faithful Grimms! I will leave the corpses of you and all your kind to the carrion birds!”
He then lashes out again.
Bormann charges into the fight. He brings his axe down hard upon one of the orcs standing in the way.
and also I have spent entirely too much time with the new Pathfinder: Kingmaker CRPG since it came out. I'm in the process of downloading it right now...
Bormann shrugs, "We Grimms aren't given to a lot of sneaking around and I am no exception. Like as not, the sound of my armor will betray any attempt I make to get to close. I am not opposed to trying, I just know not to expect great outcomes," the dwarf confesses.
"Probably a patrol or hunting party. It might be a while before they're missed. Let's put some miles behind us before anyone tries to find that misbegotten creature." Bormann suggests.
Bormann presses his assault on the giant with Torag's Edge. "You walk with orcs, send those vermin to kill us, and then dare to complain? We will end you!"
Bormann rushes in to chop at the giant with Torag's Edge. "You are not getting away from us! Your orc minions are dead, and now you soon will be!"
"I'm with you, Rask! Killing a giant in its sleep is no test of our mettle. For Lost Koldukar!" Bormann cries out as he rushes after the giant.
Bormann takes the hit from the orc and strives to give it back... in spades.
With only one more orc between Bormann and the giant, the dwarf warrior swings hard - and completely misses with both attempts.
Bormann steps over the orc shot down by Kurag and closes with the orc down the lane. Frustrated with missing his attacks on the giant, Bormann pours on the power.
Bormann slips under the giant's swing but is overeager and swings too early to land a telling blow on the giant.
"Ah, now there's a worthy opponent for Torag's Edge." Bormann says as the hill giant comes into view.
Oh, I did. +1 keen greataxe is easy - it's the rest that's harder. Plus, HeroLab also usually has unique stuff from the APs... and in this case it does, albeit GM-reskinned for our current mix (thanks for that!). I have gone into the data packs to edit some stuff directly in the past - I may do so again, particularly to customize the text and incorporate the potential for the free trip attempt.
I've picked up a new rage power - guarded life. Otherwise, it's Barbarian 6, took an additional rage round as my preferred class bonus, and am currently figuring out how to get the new axe fully started up in HeroLab.
Welcome back, old now new player!
Bormann picks up Torag's Edge, his hands stroking the handle with reverence. He runs a thumb along the blade, "Such magnificent sharpness! This is clearly an axe of great lineage and I would strive to be worthy of it. "Torag's Edge", eh? Well, Torag's Edge, once again you shall taste the blood of orcs and giants and any other enemies of dwarvenfolk!"
"Is that all you got, you thorny weed? I can take it and do better!" Bormann counter attacks with a vicious chop.
"Bah! Enough with thorns. Let us see how this stands up to an axe. For lost Koldukar!" Bormann cries out as he rushes in to hack the plant creature.
"I am not deterred by filth, but let us see what your spider attracts. If danger rears its head, then it will face my axe," Bormann declares.
Xtabays - I’ve heard tell their scent can be deadly. But that is from rumor and the details I know are limited.” Bormann offers.
"I have no intention of either going to sleep or becoming food. But there have been creatures or obstacles to impede intruders placed in each chamber so far. I doubt this one is any different," Bormann observes. Bormann puts his mind to thinking of dangerous creatures or toxic plants that would typically seek out smelly flowers in which to hide.
"Well, now let's see what was behind that plant monstrosity," Bormann says as he strides up and over the plant's prostrate form. He spies and take the steps up to the landing before the door to get a look around.
Bormann shifts a bit to his right in an effort to shake things up a little before he tries to drive his axe home.
Bormann takes another low shot at the plant creature, but the thing lurches to the side in its eagerness to get at Sergei, spoiling Bormann's chop.
Bormann does his best to give his companions a hand in taking down the walking plant with a chop at the thing's trunk.
Bormann, now at enlarged size, steps in to chop at the plant monster with his axe but his axe is deflected by one of the plant's flailing tentacles.
"Let's see what good this does in this situation," Bormann says as he gets out a potion of enlarge person and drinks it.
"You deepen my debt to you further, Greta, with your timely healing. I'll be sure to make the proper offerings to Bolka when we are back in civilized lands." Bormann looks about. "That may not be a bad idea, Beetle, if you think it will work. This place can't be too large - the bridge was only a hundred feet or so - so we shouldn't need the help long."
"I've got a good 50 feet of it here, Beetle, but we'll need more," Bormann says as he digs the rope out of his pack. "I doubt the plants will hold Sergei any better than they held me. Let's get him down here, move across the bottom, and up the other side if it looks possible."
"Hey, you stupid insect. Come down here and we'll see how tough you are!" Bormann calls up from the floor. He fires another arrow at the creature, but it fails to strike home.
Cursing at the stupid fey dragonfly, Bormann loads up another arrow and fires.
Please with his first shot, Bormann tries to repeat and shoot the dragonfly creature again.
That shot is not quite as on target and the arrow goes wide.
Bormann looks at the action far above wishing he were a lot closer to it. He draws back his bow and fires at the dragonfly thing (assuming he can see it).
Bormann picks himself up off the ground with a groan. The mud is no bother to him but the increased distance to the fight is an irritant. Grumbling, he pulls out his bow and prepares to use it, looking up to see if he even has a reasonable shot at the dragonfly. "I hear you, Greta. I am alright for now but I do not recommend following my path."
Bormann evades the grabby vines by taking a few steps back and making a running leap toward the first lily pad.
His leap is a little on the short side and his attempts to hang on as he slides for the edge aren't successful on the smooth leafy pad.
Bormann shakes his head at BB and growls, "And what happens if you get ambushed like the last time you went on ahead? Both Kurag and I are probably better suited to going first and being able to defend ourselves if we get attacked on the way when we're most vulnerable." |
