Daniel will simply take another throw at the same Goblin before moving back to the barricades.
Daniel will take up one of his Amentumed javelins and tried his luck in response to the goblin that took a shot at him. He whirls it over his head and throws.
Having exposed himself a little more to throw it, he hefts up his shield before shouting. Steady all! Slow and Steady! We'll take em yet!
Daniel would go through camp to try and help keep morale high, before moving to scout the keep.
Yes, which honestly works for us as well... I count 8 sentries. 2 in the watch tower, 2 patrolling, the other 4 remaining as stationary guards. He whispers pointing them out. He does another glance over. Assaulting the fort would be dangerous, deadly. Luckily, the plan was only to keep there attention for a time. Which was still plenty dangerous enough. It may be best to try and approach from the west if we can. There seems to be an entrance in there. He whispers further
Happy new year all, And once again, apologies about my absence. However, things are settling down again, and I should be able to start posting again over the next couple days.
As before, I'll likely be dealing with current issues for most of the holiday season. That being said, I've no wish to leave or end the game, even if I must step away for a time.
hey all, I'm going through some stuff atm, so I may be absent a while longer. sorry about all this.
GM:
I'm fine with moving on from it, and assuming things went well. Also, I'd say he learns some more smithing techniques, to warrant taking some crafting skills and/or the armor smight fighter advanced armor training option. Daniel comes in looking tired but oddly refreshed and a little dirty. Ahhh, that was nice. No need to constantly worry and second guess my choices, just pure old maintenance. It was actually comforting you know. Sure now I'm stressed about putting off all the other stuff, but, it was nice for the time haha He takes several long draws from his drink before ordering two bowls of stew. I think that's a great idea Severa.
Did you want us to spoiler the conversation for Daniel?
Sorry everyone! My area got hit by a hurricane and I've been without power since thursday! it was supposed to go 60+miles west of our area but we got hit dead on. Caught folks by surprise. I also cant login to my account from my phones web browser for some reason. I finally managed to get access to a computer for a day though. And I wanted to let you all know. I hope to have power again by Friday, though it could be as long as next Thursday. If I have time today i'll try to post, but its doubtful.
Not being Magically inclined himself, and unsure of what else to do, he decides to see if he can be useful and still learn something. Daniel will move to speak to the councilman. He sits down with a smile and extends an arm for a handshake. Greetings, you can call me Daniel. I do apologize for being so forward but I heard you were looking for people to help with making weapons? I don't know a whole lot about crafting them yet, but I do at least know a a fair deal about maintenance and refurbishing. And I'll probably have spare time over the next few days. And I figure I'd be willing to offer some help in exchange for some tutelage.
Daniel spends his time largely talking with people and being friendly with the other tables. He was about to head to the councilman when he hears Astella talking about the other party and he moves over to pipe in. Well, If you see them again, please tell them to come see us in welnin, we might have some work for them if they are interested. I can get something written if you'd prefer. He starts looking around his person before glancing towards Astella. Do you have any paper? Or would Severa?
Daniel shrugs a little as he responds to the question. Either or ideally, the infiltration team would need a way to signal that they've released the hostages, or, a way to signal the plan is a bust. From there, the idea would be for the mobile barrier to be able to either advance or retreat. Perhaps we could also place rungs on the barriers, to act as a sort of ladder if needed. But that would need more wood, and add more weight. Either way, the primary goal would be to keep those in the fort distracted for the team sneaking in. Since if everything goes, mostly, to plan. We could potentially take advantage of the chaos and confusion caused by it. Daniel will let out a small sigh. He wasn't learned in siege warfare, hell he wasn't even sure this all could be pulled off under the best circumstances. But he continued to do his best to at least seem confident.
well, no not vehicles, they'd be moved by people. Moreso a bunch of planks nailed together, or just sheets of wood, with thick mounds of straw or hay attached behind it. So if an arrow did pierce the, relatively, thin wall they would hopefully have lost enough momentum the straw would catch it. He responds nodding in agreement with the dwarf. We could make sure to douse them in water before we start, which should help some. And I think them being bigger than tower shields would be better. Likely needing at least two people to move one at a time. More likely 3 to a segment. Perhaps with a handle on the back that lets them move it easier. He turns to Astella. Well, honestly, I have no idea how exactly to go about making these things practical, that I think would be better left to others. But, I don't particularly want to leave no one here... He pauses before turning to Estelle. Estelle, would you like to hang back and oversee the project?
Daniel will give a slightly embarrassed grin at the Druid elder, Well, I meant like, a stronger cooperation between the towns here in the dale. Perhaps a joint effort on some way to easily signal the others if something like this were to happen again. he adds quickly But He is right, we should focus on the larger problem at hand. Turning back to the main group, he speaks of his crazy idea. Well, If there is a read door entrance, and we can keep their attention focused on shooting at us in the front, perhaps a team could sneak in and release the captives easier. Daniel gets a thoughtful look on his face. I have a few ideas on how we could keep there attention, and their arrows, on us without, well, hopefully without harm. But it involves a lot of wood, hay, and well, labor. Basically, large, mobile platforms that would function as walls for us. But, we would need ways to combat fire arrows...
Daniel starts at the talk of compensation, before giving his input.
As the discussion goes on, Daniel thinks back to his adventures in Stone City and sighs with a half grin. Infiltration is certainly not a strong suit of mine... But, I like to think I can make quite the distraction. Assuming that is what you mean by Divert.
yeah, I was about to say, we are here hoping to eventually unify the "town-states" apologies on low post rate, Been getting hammered with 12-14 hour days recently and I doubt its going to get better this coming week sadly.
Daniel, having taken time to organize the equipment taken from the fallen, as well as directing any potential needed defensive reconstruction, makes it back to the group as Strom started his questioning. You catch more flies with honey, than vinegar strom. Both from prisoners and onlookers. He says with a slight grin, moving to give the goblin prisoners some water before sitting down in front of them. There is a gentle kindness in his eyes masking hardness underneath as he speaks. If you would answer him, please. Whether or not they respond, he will continue. But what I most curious of, is why you attacked this village. Perhaps therein lies an end to the fighting.
===================== Daniel would quickly move to tie up the two goblins they incapacitated, before moving to check on the rest of the towns folk. Bringing the bound goblins with him.
Daniel will sigh as the goblins retreat, glancing towards Strom. That one being dead or captured could potentially end the attacks on the town. Now, they might just return later.
Daniel stabs out at the goblins thighs.
Daniel will use the opening given to him to maneuver around the two goblins, pinning them in. And ready an attack for when someone flanks with him.
Daniel tries to buy some room for the others by stepping up to the lead goblins side. Before taking a swing. He stabs out as he moves, trying to get some of the momentum added to his thrust. If we can bring down the leader, some of the rest might flee
Daniel rushes forward to cover the fallen defender, drawing his longsword as he does so and takes a stab at the blue armored goblin.
technically, RAW animal companions that aren't mounts are pretty bad. Since RAW, the only thing that 3 int does is give them more tricks, and they can somewhat understand a language if they are taught it, oh and it opens up their feat selection. there is this paragraph however-
So, you could say "attack the weakest" and it would try to do so, even if you don't direct it towards the weakest enemy, or even if you can't point it out. There is also This here Which covers a slightly wider array than what I posted above if you wanted to read over it.
Daniel runs up to red and goes for a one handed baseball swing

Daniel will take a swing at the staggered goblin. Drawing his sap to do so. Hoping to question them once the battle is over.
Daniel Runs forward, drawing a javelin as he moves before using his momentum to add further strength to the throw.
Which would have pierced the hide of a dire boar, if he hadn't completely overthrew the target.
sorry for the disappearance. Me and my ISP had a fight and they lost a customer. Unfortunately, This was during a time where I didn't have phone, so I have been unable to give any updates until now. (I have finally gotten my new phone) When it rains, it pours as they say
Good news everyone. I should be back properly after Wednesday. Thank you for your patience.
Daniel will look around the immediate area, not straying to far, but he doesn't want to just sit and wait for trouble to find them. Best find it first.
Daniel sighed inwardly, it seemed there was no end to troubles indeed. outwardly he smiled.
Daniel continues to practice his beheading.
Daniel continues his fight with the punching dead. beheading the first one seemed to work well, so he attempts to reproduce the feat.
