Crashing Waves's page

Thanks for running the game sorry it didn't last

Str Challenge: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Ouch

Fast init
Punch the Funi guy (Trickery) : 1d20 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (9) + 3 + (5) = 17
Damage w/ Qi Strike and Trickery: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 5) = 12

"It's either fight them or give up on the children..." Crashing Waves says as he drives a focused fist into the humongous fungus.

Agility (Trickery): 1d20 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 3 + (2) = 16

Looking down the other path, "Well can't be any worse than the other one, right?" Crashing Waves advances down the new pathway.
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Hate that
Crashing Waves noticed the creature halting at the edge, he stopped and turn back toward the fungus. Keeping a good distance between him and it. "Can you communicate?" he asked the mobile mushroom.

Agility + Trickery: 1d20 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (20) + 3 + (2) = 25
Crashing Waves whirls away from the overly touchy fungi. "Careful, its sticky and..." his sentence is cut short as the sporific humanoid tracks shape, "Oh that's not good..."
Fast turn, use action to become focused

"Interesting..." Crashing Waves says as he inspects the fungus.
Intelligence (Apothecary): 1d20 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 1 + (1) = 12

Crashing Waves looks around the cave floor for tracks be they human or otherwise.

Perception (Tracker): 1d20 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 2 + (1) = 14

"Now that's just plain irresponsible, abandoning teens in a cave without a cursory examination." Crashing Waves shakes his head and continues, "hopefully this cave is more of a tunnel than a den of monstrosities. I am also concerned about the entrance, the things that may help us in look like the could be a hindrance on the way out."

Exhausted, but toddlers will do that to people
After examining the entrance Crashing Waves speaks to the man, "Are you Padraig?"

Hmmm looks like a one way path...

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Turn the key: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Reaching the bottom, "Well I guess that's one way to get down... are you okay?" when Crashing Waves receives no response from Jexen he checks on him and finding the crank wound down Crashing Waves gives the clockwork a few turns.

Agility +Trickery: 1d20 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (9) + (5) + 3 = 17
The agile elf moves quickly and easily down the path, as if the rocks that mar the trail raise up to meet his feet.

Crashing Waves matches Brinda's pace and overtaking the Clockwork Warrior.

Cast Delay on the ogre
Int vs Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Target is slowed for 1 min, if attack is over 20 target is impaired while slowed this way.

I am as fast as a horse so it makes no difference to me. Actually what time of day is it?

Well onward to the cave, hopefully the trip bares fruit.

Oh I thought the lake was much closer than that...

Sköllji, perhaps we could finish investigating here first and then all head to the lake together, no point in making that trip and eating up all that time if there is evidence that we should be looking elsewhere.

Crashing Waves speaking with the staff, "The lord mentioned his wife's family worship of the old gods. Do any of them live locally or have access to the grounds?"

"Perhaps we ought to examine the cave that was mentioned before."

Crashing Waves offers and excessively elaborate bow and greets him in Elvish. To be clear CW is still shirtless When the disease is brought up he pulls a bright blue frog from his pocket, "What do you know about this Shuddering Pox?"
Int with medical profession: 1d20 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (20) + 1 + (5) = 26

Crashing Waves enjoyed the pampering at the bathhouse, but was quickly ready to move on to Thorpe, especially if children were in danger. It was becoming an all to common thing.

This game has too many GOOD options

Crashing Waves gives a golf clap at the dwarf's new trick and with a smile congratulates him destroying the blade. "While we are all here, I found this strange journal while milling about, I was unable to make heads or tails of it and no one has laid claim to it. Perhaps you guys should have a look at it."

[B]"Well, I hope your axe isn't cursed now."

Very strange, I would assume the man died based on the journal, but then how did it get here? Crashing Waves takes quick stock of those in the area then raises the book and asks aloud, "Does this belong to anyone here?"

Intelligence to see if any of the info sounds familiar: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Mostday when most of the days are left in the week, not to be confused with Fewday when there are few days left in the week.

Crashing Waves nods in agreement and stand up from his seat, "If we intend to use the ballroom we should get Jexen and Brinda, not sure they like us that much up there."

"No its meer presence should not cause us any ill fortune, but I am eager to be rid of the foul thing. Not sure if smashing it while in the confines of the train is the best idea, any thoughts."

Silly Stories with Crashing Waves
During the evening Crashing Waves shared stories and tales with those on the train.
There once was an old who was cooking beans for dinner. One fell onto the floor, next to a piece of straw that had fallen out of a bundle the woman was using to start her cooking fire. The bean and straw were then joined by an ember from the fire. The three decided leave on an adventure to avoid their grizzly fates of the fire and the pot. Along their adventure they came to a steam, the straw laid down so the other two could cross. The ember went first, but half way across the straw caught fire and they both fell into the water and drowned. The bean laughed so hard that he split in half.

I have leveled up, would you like more about what we are doing on the train or you want us to hold tight for a bit?

My thoughts on how to advance CW:

Mystic: Unarmed wander fighting evil in the world, opting to turn himself into a living weapon as opposed to the weapons made from death that his father used.

Now that I type that out I think that's what I will go with

I'd like to swap Fey tradition for either nature or primal.
Super torn on where to take the character.
(Also did you know the level 4 sucks for elves?)

Need to pay more attention when making choices for characters, what are your feelings on retraining?

"I do, I was given a number of ingredients which when combined would neutralize the magic and eventually dissolve the blade altogether. Unfortunately I ran into so many goreblades that I am now out of then, and some of the ingredients only grow in the Fey realm, however, I'm sure there are a number of ways we could destroy it."

Once everyone is back in the train Crashing Waves pulls out a disorganized stack of papers of various sizes. After studying them and the blade for a time he concludes the blade is safe for him to use, but is a risk for anyone else to wield.

"Good news, bad news, and in between news... I am sure that I am immune to must of the blades nightmarish magic, however the blade is clearly still evil and a corrupting influence and should it all into the wrong hands who knows the damage it could do. So it must be destroyed, pitty it truly is a powerful weapon, but the risk is too great."

During the rest of the ride Crashing Waves will entertain the working class passengers with stories of the fey realms to distract himself from the heart ache of losing his father.

3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 1) = 7
3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1) = 11
1d20 ⇒ 2

Crashing Waves moves back inside the rail car with Jexen. When Jexen inquires about the blade Crashing Waves looks it over looking for any indication of the corruption of his late father's handy work.

Intel (boon from witch hunter?): 1d20 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (2) = 5

"This blade feels different than the others, although, I am unable to tell if that means this blade is uncorrupted or perhaps it is super corrupt has this maybe personal weapon... I would caution that we should handle it minimally until we can get a better answer..."

Should have some post Bonesmith up this evening, been super busy with kids and work over the last few days.

Crashing Waves dives for the blade.

Agility: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Slow turn: CW moves up to strike his father as he attempts to climb down the ladder.
Kick to the face: 1d20 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (18) + 2 + (5) = 25
Damage: 1 + 1d6 ⇒ 1 + (2) = 3

Extra turn attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage: 1 = 1

1d6 ⇒ 5

Crashing Waves grunts as he feels as if nails are being driven into his brain as he pursues his father.

Fast Turn - Cast Delay
Intellect Attack vs Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
On a hit the target is slowed fir 1 minute. Slowed - can only take slow turns, speed is halved, and cannot benefit from increases to speed.

Seeing his father on the roof of the car Crashing Waves speaks some words, and opens the bag he used to destroy the goreblade, translucent tendrils snaked forth circling the Bonesmith then rushed back into the bag. The Bonesmith's movements became sluggish and his thoughts clouded.

Ugh, you work your wa at back the way you came,I'll head back topside. With that Crashing Waves climbs back up to continue the search

While have sympathy for you perdicement, what with you charge being murdered, but you don't seriously think that my friend who was being impersonated is the assassin, when clearly the more logical conclusion is that it was the changelings?

Oh.... well that's not good... uhhh.....

No sorry I lost discord when I had to switch phones

"Fine, the walk was shitty, it was raining and there was a little girl that was crying, and we were carrying two of your fallen companions, satisfied?"

"Rational people! He murders children and uses diabolic magic to form their bones into weapons, how do you..." Crashing Waves voice continued to get louder as he spoke until he abruptly stops and composes himself, "fine, I will wait, unlike my father I have time."
