Looking forward to it Zelligar, but will feel bad losing Zelligar...As a new addition, would you like me to move over to a more clerical type character? Sounds like we might need one.
Dai follows the halfling into the tent. "I found my bow on top of that chest, but I know nothing of locks. I figured the rest of my gear and the other prisoners effects might be in there."
Looking over to Bran, Dai answers him. "My name is Dai, some call me Darkbow for the Darkwood bow that was a gift from the monastery where I grew up and was taught. The monks taught me how to become one with my chosen weapon..to feel it as an extension of myself, but your battle with the dragon...well it was beyond anything I have ever seen!"
Dai takes aim and fires at the last foe. Attack:
Attack:
Reaching down to the dead Hobgoblin, Dai takes a handful of arrows from the creature's quiver and turns and fires at the remaining hobgoblin. Attack:
Attack:
Still trying to distract the hobgoblin, Dai again strikes at the creature. Attack:
Dai moves into position with the halfling to flank the hobgoblin and tries to strike the beast. Attack:
Seeing the halfling woman slay the downed hobgoblin sergeant, Dai attempts to draw the other guards attention to himself while allowing the halfling the opportunity to strike unhindered. Hey! Over here! That's right try and hit me...not so good without your bows and me in a cage huh!" Attack:
If I move to fighting defensively and acting as a stalking horse (as Zelligar suggested) that should work better...I just hope I start rolling better..lol
Yeah...the way Dai has been rolling, maybe dont count on his doing much...esheeh...what a way to introduce yourself to a new group!! lol
Tiring of attempting to gain ammunition for his bow, Dai strikes out at the hobgoblin before him. Attack:
Quickly stepping close to his foe, Dai once again attempts to swipe a number of arrows from the still blinded foe. Steal CBM:
Seeing the arrows just dangling from the hobgoblin's quiver, Dai attempts to grab some to use in his bow. Steal CBM:
Dai continues to kick and punch at the hobgoblins before him in hopes of dropping one of then and using his arrows. Attack:
Sorry had to go to have some emergency eye surgery (laser!!) but am back now and will post!
Taking the bow, Dai moves back out of the tent. Seeing the hobgoblins fumbling about, he moves forward and strikes at one of the blinded creatures. Attack:
Moving swiftly from the cage, Dai sprints to the tent that holds their weapons. He hopes some of the guards follow him into the tent and stop firing of the prisoners.
Dai again swings at the wooden bars, trying to make a hole large enough for them to escape. Attack:
Attack:
Dai grunts as the arrow pierces his flesh. He kicks out at the wooden bars of the cage in an attempt to break free. Attack:
Attack:
DM: Is it possible to squeeze between the bars? Can you use acrobatics to help with an escape roll or would it be a straight escape roll? And what kind of DC would I be looking at if I were able to do it. Alternately I suppose I could punch my way out (as I gave Lavinia my knife)...
As the guards take their eyes off the prisoners, Dai moves up to the bound woman and, slipping the dagger from it's hiding place in his sleeve, cuts the bonds that held her hands and gagged her. "Here, take this dagger and protect yourself and the other prisoners. I am going to try and get out of this cage." DM: So I want to see if he can jump out of the enclosure and perhaps kick the guard as he comes down, if possible. Jump: Jump breakdown - +11 for skill, +25 using 1Ki, +4 for speed - The result means I could clear a 10' high obstacle.
Dai looks up at the guard who was left to watch over them. In his sleeve he can feel the handle of the dagger that he was able to palm before the hobgoblins took him prisoner. The poor gagged girl was also watching the guards and he could only imagine how she felt. He hoped that she was interested in escaping, but right now, under the nose of a great dragon was not the time. If only he had his bow.....
Thanks for adding me to your group of stalwart (and scary---I'm looking at you Iris!) adventures!!
I have been watching and you are right, they have a great dynamic! Cannot wait to see who makes it onto their group!
Thanks, and a safe trip back to civilization for you and your party. If you do happen to run across a young man dressed in farmer's garb but carrying a large Darkwood bow and pack, be nice and maybe let him tag along?? lol
Here is the my zen archer character...hope he meets your approval. Daniel Stewart
so...is this game dead, like the gm's computer?? Been almost a month!
So is this game dead?? Have not seen anything happening in awhile.
Dai tries to find a good spot with a clear field of vision to where he thinks the creatures might be coming. "Maybe he has left to find us more help?", the boys says, but the tone of his voice shows that not even he believes that was what happened.
Dai moves closer and fires off 2 arrows at one of the kobolds in the tree (#3) Attack:
Attack:
Dai again target the same goblin as before, hoping to take it down quickly. Attack:
Attack:
Grinding his teeth in frustration, Dai once again takes aim and fires once at the closest kobold. Attack:
Dai swiftly alters his aim to fire at the creatures in the trees. Attack:
Attack:
Dai remains fixed on the position where he saw the spear tip protruding from the underbrush. If it moves, he will fire.
Dai gets his companions attention quietly and points out where he sees the spear.
Dai keeps his bow at the ready...eyes peering into the overgrowth. Perception:
Daingathers his few belongings and also helps to tidy up the camp site. He readies his bow and insures he has easy access to his quiver. He says a brief prayer over the bodies found in the webbing, then joins the others on the trail.
Dai wakes early, as is his wont, and steps out into a clear area to warm up through a series of katas. He starts off slow, but the movements build in their speed and acrobatics, until he finishes with several backflips, ending up on one knee, his bow ready in his hand. He then shakes out any remaining kinks, and takes several shots at a target with his bow. When that is finished, he spends a few moments in quiet contemplation, before applying wax to the bow string and examining the bow shaft for any damage. The whole routine takes only half and hour to complete, and once finished he set about helping cook breakfast and strike the camp.
The young monk nods in agreement. "Yes, that would be nice...just a proper burial and a few words to send their souls off to their afterlife." Dai will sit whichever shift the group decides as he has no real preference as to when he stands guard.
Dai had seemed more interested in the remains than the actual treasure he had discovered. "They deserve a proper burial do they not? And who knows, maybe someone at the fort know them. If we do not wish to bring them back, then lets bury them properly."
Dai gathers these items and lays them out for the group to see. I wonder at returning the bodies of the woman and warrior back to the keep. Perhaps they have family who have wondered what has happened to them?"
