Her voice echoes softly in the cavern, "Because Durathoin, WE gave our word." "Hmm. Legates are good for only one thing....but as you wish. The second he twitches wrong..." He trails off, waiting for the other to enter so he can take the rear. He glares at the legate.
Chops points at the legate. "Why don't we just kill him now?"
.... then takes Solvi's hand to guide her. Seeing the two emerge from the portal this way, Chops growls in a barely audible rumble, but before he can meet Solvi's eyes he peers into the gloom of the tunnels alert for danger.
"Hmph. I don't need to be accepted. I made it this far on my own. Glad to see you though. And her." he stares at Solvistania for a second, then the two strange elorgs. "Eerie," he grunts. "I'll go through next, make sure treachery is not waiting on the other side....well, not immediate treachery. I am sure it's there." With that, Chops boldly steps through the portal on the heels of the brothers.
"Uh, yeah. Hi again." Chops accepts Gilian's hand and stands. "Were not fighting that guy anymore?" indicating the legate.
"Hghonk-shuuuuuu..."
Chops swaps at the sword arm of the orc attacking him, attempting to grab it to break it at the elbow.
Chops dives to the side and vaults through the window.
And hustles around behind the Legate. Then reaches for the scruff of the Legates neck.
Chops brings his foot down on the orc who has slipped and reaches out to grabbed the arm of one who has missed him but something terrible happens.
Chops swings his axe at one of the orcs...
draw an urutuk and attack an orc in between him and a legate.
Chops will step to where the knight was and wait until the legate enters, then initiate grapple.
Chops growls as the orc sinks its teeth into his neck, then headbutts it.
"Solvi?" Chops' expressions betrays shock and, something else. But the orcs crowd in with the slaughter and Chops is in the action. He grabs at the nearest Orc....
"Huff." "Huff." The dworg has been running for nearly half a day. Although he is breathing hard he shows little sign of fatigue. Not so the orc he is trailing. The large brute has froth dripping from his jowls, he half-drags his vardatch. The orc had an hours lead this morning. The dworg has closed in well. "You gonna quit, orc?" taunts Chops. The orc trips and rolls, dropping his sword. He scrambles a few feet before he is back up and running, vardatch forgotten. Chops skids to a halt at the large sword, bends to pick it up. Takes a few practice swings, taking note of the quality. "Not as good as the Sun-Choppers, but will make a fine end to that ones day." He takes off in a sprint. At this point, neither the orc nor the dworg have noticed that they have been causing quite a stir since they have entered the borders of the city. The orc, running from a beast that single-handedly took out his squat using hit and run tactics. The dworg, tunnel vision for his prey. A boy's eyes widen as he tends to the inn which employs to weed around the grounds. He dives out of the way as the orc skids around the corner. The dworg, however, has just leaped atop the railing of an adjacent structure and takes to the air, vardatch high over head as he arcs it down into the orcs chest. The orc goes flying back, through a window and lies on his back as Chops jumps through the window, bringing a knee down onto the beasts neck. "And this is the ultimate fate of those who feed on the children of the Shadar. You wanted to stuff your face, well I'll oblige you." With that, Chops smashes his knee into the orcs mouth, breaking teeth and jaw. The orc twitches as Chops stands and tosses the vardatch onto the orc in disgust. He wipes some dirty off of his jacket and looks around. "Holy s&!%, what a coincidence?"
How are we dealing with Chops' absence? I was thinking something gritty that wore away his jovial personality a bit.
I think I am ready. I'll need to double check my numbers and will be playing with the formatting, but Chops is essentially finished.
I just need to grab a couple more feats. What's the rule on feats now? Are the ones in the documents the only ones we can choose from, or are those just the new or changed ones.
Chops isn't ready yet, for combat at least. I imagine there is some story stuff that needed to be done to get him back into the game. I'll work on him this week.
I'm totally cool with leaving the feats and skills alone. Have a great trip!
I am assuming archetypes are not being used? 5th level hit points
OK sticking with TWF theme. It is too ingrained into his character.
Just want to throw this out here. We've been using this for our home games and really enjoy it. Now we don't worry about trying to get that perfect weapon or stat boosting item.
Right now, the only way for the Defender to take non-Defender weapon and use his ability with it is for him to be Dworg or Orc and to have only 2 skill points per level. I think that one of the talents will be the ability to learn how to use non-Defender weapon. I want to multi-class Chops with either barbarian, fighter, or wildlander. I'll wait to see your revamped fighter before ultimately deciding.
I was thinking about dropping the TWF bit and increased his grappling potential. However I finish him, he'll have the axes. I think the Snapping Turtle Style would be fun, especially the Clutch And him being stuck in fighting pits during his absense is a pretty sweet idea.
Awesome! I'll get to rebuilding Chops larger than life and twice as ugly!
Congratulations.
I like the that you have made it modular, kind of like the defender already is. I really like classes that have a lot of choices of paths to take. If I can put in any requests for what you are doing with the class, would making all of the saves "good" saves be out of line. It makes sense to me that a "defending" class would have that, even at the expense of a different power up you were planning.
Thanks for having me again! When you finish with the Defender, I'll get to work on converting Chops. What level should he be at.
I'd be interested in returning in some way, but I am totally unclear on the houserules which was part of the reason I stayed out earlier. I didn't have time to learn new rules. I will have time in a couple weeks to adjust, so If you'd have Chops come back, I'd be more than willing.
I'm sorry to here that all this is going on. I hope you get well soon.
I don't think I am going to be able to put the amount of time and energy into this game that I have been able to do previously. If worcmrost wants to take my slot, I'm fine with that.Chops, do you have an IC reason for Chops not travelling with the group? I can update Solvi's BG with what happened in the intervening time. I hope it was not a lover's spat, he he. What Sorok said sounds good. I am sure I am going to want to get back to the game some time in the near future. Maybe Chops was displaced somehow because of a dworgs inherent resistance to magic. He may have arrived on the other side of the continent but received some sort of message spell from Solvi and knows that she is alive and very far away. He'll have to sneak and fight through hordes of Shadow enemies to find her and the group again.

Has Eric let you know if he is coming back as Solvi? I figure it might be important to know what happened to her either way for Chops's development. I am thinking it might be interesting to write in a baby somehow. Also, I seem to remember a problem with the CR system and balancing it to how powerful our characters are. Have you gotten that all straitened out? Edit: Nevermind about Solvi, I just found the Gamer Connection thread. The though of a dwarf-orc-elf kid sounds kind of cool though.
Is the new heroic path going to be similar to the one we already have? This will affect my decision on character class.
I'm interested. I'll have to check out the Kirthfinder feats though. How much UC, AM, and APG stuff are you allowing? Do you want us to tear down and rebuild our characters from scratching, but keeping the themes and powers acquired through bones and aboliths? Edit: Where are those feats? The link that I have is broken.
I totally understand. I had to close the game I am DMing myself recently. Good luck with the new game.
"Hi Troz, sure. Show me my chambers. Is there a bath?" Then he winks at Solvistania. "And if you don't mind, you can show her my chambers too. Solvi? And do you have any place wear a dworg could get some wine?"
