"Bah! I won't even use your innards for porridge!"
"We'll choke you with your words!" Caine readies his blade.
Caine readies his sword.
"Demand to see their leader, Luce. They like the shiny. Don't let them dictate." "If they will not do as we demand then we leave taking the shiny with us."
"Demand to meet their leader in person so we can present him a gift." Caine suggests. He presents Luce with a bar of gold, about 100gp worth. "This is something they can't share. Think about it."
Caine laughs after hearing these goblin communists. He looks at Luce, "Do you really want to discuss terms with these?"
"Move back then." Caine gets a mental image of gigantic spider.
Caine maintains his own counsel as he consider it not his place to force upon the others his beliefs.
"Pesky vine! Take this!"
"You are not alone, Sigvard! Rise up and fight!"
"Away from me, foul creature!!!
"Don't worry. We are not strangers to rescue missions nor overwhelming odds. Fortune favor you." Caine gestures a soldier's salute, with his right fist over his heart.
"Good."
"Before you go, what's the signal in case of trouble ahead?"
Caine nods at Varis' suggestion. "You make an excellent point."
Caine's understanding of the local dialect is seriously deficient. He strains to understand each word being said.
Caine maintains a safe distance from the ghost dog.
Caine restraints himself from making an ill-advised comment about a ghost cow, dog or cat.
Kendall looks to Caine, "There's a proper quarry. We cannot have goblins uprousing during the Progress." He nods to Luce, "We will see to it." Caine nods, "Tis better that we lure the goblins into a trap rather than stomping through the fens looking for them. Any idea of a proper bait?"
"Haven't had ale in a while, lassie. They're the first to run out during a siege, you understand." Caine takes a long swallow. "Ah, that washed the dust of the road."
"Seen some, yes."
Caine smiles that knowing smile, "Don't go wishing for it. Adventure will find you soon enough."
Caine listens intently at the exchange wondering how they will perform under pressure.
Caine smiles, "Greetings, Luce Winterscliffe."
Caine smiles at the word "heroes". He marvels at the irony.
Caine nods to his new acquaintances. He reserves any further comment until he sees the lay of the land so to speak.
For Rev Spoiler: Caine can buy an interest in the Bleating Lamb if that is possible.
For Rev Spoiler: The gold bars are presently inside the saddle bag he's got on his right shoulder but he'll soon be looking for a bank/merchant to deposit the same in exchange for a note. Remarkable the history of finance, yes?
Caine accompanies Kendall. He stands to one side to allow Kendall to conduct his business.
"I served with the Free Companies. It was a hard time, you understand."
"Yes, I am Caine. And you are Sir... Kendall Steelshod, I presume." Caine accepts the proffered arm. "Yes, a chance of honor would be nice for a change." "Is there a tavern where a man can drink ale and woo women?"
A chainmail-clad man steps into the scene, a fullblade strapped across his back. He stifles a yawn as he asks no one in particular, "What's happening here?"
"Commander Caine, reporting for duty, ma'am." For Rev Spoiler: I intend to revise Caine's background by making him a failed Paladin Aspirant whose failure compelled him to join the army to hide his disgrace from his family. This made him accept dangerous assignments. But the years of war had taken their toll and the stress of seeing many of his men die for the greed of other men sickened him. He deserted his command to lead the life of an adventurer, so that he can fight for causes more worthy than greed.
getting a +1 quick fullblade (level 3 item); +1 dwarven chainmail (level 2 item); and amulet of protection +1 (level 1 item). @ Rev, will you allow the Disgraced Noble theme from the Book of Vile Darkness?
I feel flattered by this. However, I intend to revise Caine's background by making him a failed Paladin Aspirant whose failure compelled him to join the army to hide his disgrace from his family. This made him accept dangerous assignments. But the years of war had taken their toll and the stress of seeing many of his men die for the greed of other men sickened him. He deserted his command to lead the life of an adventurer, so that he can fight for causes more worthy than greed. EDIT: reading the game thread now; and i think Caine will be using a fullblade.
Rev, I will finalize the stats when I'm in the office tomorrow as the Character Builder is installed in my laptop there. But choices of stats and powers probably won't change.
Good to have time to play with Rev again :-) Editing the stats at the moment.
Caine will do nicely if you need a warlord. I just need to edit his stats. Eating dinner where I am by the way. Our president was in London a few days ago. He says he's bringing home billions of investment hehehe
