Cahel's page

Aubrey, first off, thank you for running the game. We were just getting our feet dry, so to speak, but I was enjoying it very much.

Second, I totally understand. I've always been amazed at the sheer number of games that you run, and their high quality. I can barely manage one. It takes time.

Third, I'm just glad you're keeping the others going.

Everyone else, I'll see most of you in other games, and hopefully I'll see anyone that I don't share a game with around the boards.

Ditto to all of this. I was having difficulty with this game as well, because i never really managed to like the character i had created.

** spoiler omitted **

i can wild shape into a flier and invisibly spook animals. maybe even peck at what's tying them up first, unless the GM decides that would break the invisibility.

The saurian creature Cahel has become nods 'no' to the first question asked of him, and "yes" to the second.

Cahel is a follower, and a quiet one at that (even when his mouth is capable of words, which it is not at this juncture)

climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

The reptile nods first in the affirmative, then in the negative to the dwarf's question. He then turns to follow Arakan without changing forms.

stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
perception w/low-light and scent: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

more or less full-up on games at the moment, so i shan't be joining.

The saurian druid follows, silently if it weren't for the light clicking of razor-sharp talons on the floor.

none to speak of

right now i am medium dino-sized

atk vs Cahel AC 16: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
will DC 13: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

The small reptilian creature croaks attentively before shrinking down, ready to pounce.

taking total defense as a standard action

The small dinosaur follows, remaining as quiet as possible.

my gear fused with me when i transformed into a lil dinosaur.

init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

The saurian creature that Cahel transformed into skitters about among the group, remaining alert.

The small saurian creature follows as well, the sharper features of his face seeming somehow more intelligent than the half-giant's dull face once looked.

Cahel, not being one for stealth but also not being one for defying the group's leader, crouches down and places his arms on the ground in front of him before changing his body into the shape of a medium reptilian animal of some description.

I haven't had an easy time of finding pathfinder or 3.5 dark sun druid wild shape lists, but i figure something on Athas looks like this dinosaur.

Cahel is on #TeamArakan

"May be mighty hunter, feeding grounds. Beast with no thought to help."

Cahel remains silent; whether his mind is on the current exchange, the village in the distance, or somewhere else entirely is unclear.

nice

Cahel follows the instruction of Jareen and Arakan explicitly regarding his place in this plan.

Cahel can take a shift as well, and will cast Ironskin when they get closer (as it is 4 min duration)

Cahel remains a silent watcher of the situation, paying more attention to tones and body language than the content of the speech, which he doesn't entirely understand. When Danet gets emotional, he takes the opportunity to scan their surroundings.

nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 what's up with this black sand? volcanic? or just remnants of defiling?

survival, aid: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

is that consistent with the direction of the enemy camp? also Cahel will stop when Arakan asks him too, so that Arakan can get in front ond lead the pack with his lies.

Cahel isnt the party leader, and wouldnt go TOO far without the others. That said, he could track ahead while some sleep then catch up.

"I can look for tracks. We should leave soon."

Assuming the others of the group are interested in leaving, Cahel will look for tracks.

survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

with that high of a result, ought to be able to do so at normal speed (at least for one mile before another check is needed, and assuming i even find the tracks in the first place)

Cahel attempts to extract information from the animals around as to if the person who left took an animal and if so how long ago.

wild empathy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

"And what for me?"

"Yes. Dont want to be eaten either," the half-giant says, out of ideas.

cahel isn't opposed to going in the cage, but would prefer to go in wild-shaped as a small or medium animal.

Yeah one of the halfgiants. I can transform into an animal for short periods.

Cahel watches the scene unfold, his face a mask of stone. These bandits were not his enemy, but he could put himself in their sandals and understood their emotion.

Cahel moves and stabs at the nearest bandit with his spear.

atk: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
dmg: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 = 13

Cahel touches Grea, and Grea feels strength and anger welling up inside.

Battle Rage domain ability, +2 melee dmg rolls for 1 rnd

Cahel will charge B4, his spear leveled at the bandit's chest.

atk: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24
dmg: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 17

yeah in Aubrey's games people tend to post in initiative order, sometimes folks will post a little early. For instance, I try to do so if i am going to work for 12hrs and there is only one poster ahead of me, that way it doesnt end up that they posted right as i left for work and then everyone is waiting half a day on my post.

yes, it was your turn in initiative.

i charmed one of the ones inside, not the outside ones. i was just wondering when they would act.

i assume the mount i may have charmed will act on the raider's initiative?

initiative: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 1 - 2 = 13

Cahel, being in hiding, cannot yet meaningfully contribute to combat typically (he would have had his spear ready, not his sling, and cant get to anyone to attack them physically), but he does have a trick up his sleeve.

As the first shots of the skirmish ring out (Jaryx's throw after ensuring the doorway is closed), Cahel steps out of the hut he had been waiting in and speaks enchanted words (Charm Animal) to the nearest of the Inix.

"Run to other side, past fire! They will fight here, not safe for you!"

hoping that sends the inix running away, potentially starting a bit of a mini-stampede with the others when they sense his frightened/alerted state. there isn't much of a clear path for them to go without running over someone, so hopefully some bandits get trampled. I don't think they would go adjacent to the fire in a frightened state, so Jareen is probably safe (and Arakan by extension since the hut near him would force them too near the fire if they wanted to go that route). But, who knows... they're animals after all. Either way, his words may save some Inix from getting more hurt than they otherwise would. Maybe they'll even buck a bandit into the fire...
