Daniel Chelas's page

It's been done in other games, that half the team's votes are enough to decide which way to go, when for example at a fork in the road.

It could be applied to doors.

"Ah, i'm with Trini on this, we'd better make sure it's not going to be a hindrance to us afterwards."

Btw Trini, a while ago you said it was fun to see someone try to get Varrec into PF. In another game i'm playing in, we recently had a dwarf bolt ace join, who also named his crossbox with a girl's name.
And sure enough, when i said 'dragon age reference here', he was pleasantly surprised someone caught it.

...

(Aims crossbow at flying seagull)
...Dwarven stout and roast seagull for dinner...

Daniel picks up a random rock and tosses it into the water.

"Either Korunar or myself can go down, since we can see in the dark.
Although it might better be me, since his armor is heavier.
Unless, that illuminating magic is used, that'd shed some light on the matter, if someone else wants to swim."

Daniel does too. :)

"Hmm, anything special down there?"

Perception?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

"Nice going, you make it look easy."

"If there's a few things dwarves aren't great for it's keeping pace and jumping distances...."

"Get back here, or you'll fall in.
Grab my hand."

"This is weird. Us dwarves can see pretty well in the dark, but there's a part i can't see, towards the ceiling.
I can only speculate, of course, that something is obscuring it. But as i'm no mage, i can't sense if it's true."

"If it's too difficult to see anything, Korunar or myself could do some extra searching."
Take 10 for 17.

At recruitment, you said you'd head for lvl 3, and see from there.

But somewhere on 3rd lvl yes, when we're on a safe spot in your story, preferably.
So if you have an idea of a write out, i'm all ears.

Pardon to my fellow explorers, but i'm not feeling Daniel properly, which is something that's rarely happened.

DM, will it last long before the team hits the lvl 3 you wanted?

Because Daniel's one of my chars, i'm not feeling so much with, as with others, and i'd step down when we do.

"Rope is briefly more fire resistant, if drenched in water..."

"A hidden storage, huh, how about that.
Pretty clever, i'll admit."

"It might not work your hands, but maybe this will help."

Daniel takes out a crowbar.

Daniel, being from the proud dwarven people, knows when tunnels can get dangerous, and likewise takes some distance.

Take 10 for max of 10 to aid other.

"Film?"

Take 10 for 11.

"Well, i could be 'clumsy on purpose'..with a loose bolt."

Daniel looks at Emerich with a smile, hinting at his previous setup.

"Or maybe one of you is good at a nice bluff.
Dwarves aren't seen as the most cunning liars, after all."

"Hear hear to that."

"Arnek, hold on a sec.
We'd have to be careful not to get our friend too close to any explosives we might find. He might just set them off by accident."

"Let's think for a second here.
They set charges around the mine...which without their trigger, (he smiles) don't go off just yet. We could try and disable them, or wreck them enough to be inept for their function."

"But i agree with your suggestion, of trying to convince any others from terrace to join us, provided there are any left."

"I agree.
I can't blindly trust them after hearing both this and that guard's desire to see strangers dead."

"I see."

Daniel thinks for a moment, one arm crossed and the other leaning on it, chin between index finger and thumb.

"Still, they wish for this mine to be destroyed, with any inside probably with it, given we overheard comment about 'it being better to be rid of strangers', along those lines."

...

Daniel was thinking with the situation at hand. A thought, not too pleasant, creeped into his mind.

"Not to try and worry you Trini, but, you're not turning into one of them, are you?"

Daniel looks at the stranger.
"Is that even possible? She did partake in that peculiar morning blessing ritual."

Sense Motive on his story: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Daniel tries to figure out the reaction of the stranger.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Easy, easy.
We don't 'work for' your enemy, who seem to be the townsfolk.
We ourselves came upon the town, and were asked to, not hired to, take a look in here.
My friend happened to have accepted an offer of participating local customs, with current consequences."

Daniel looks briefly at Trini, before continuing.
"Could you tell us more, of this conflict you have with the townsfolk?"

Daniel speaks to the newcomer.

"Would you happen to know of such an occurence?
As you inquired about the tree."

Aha!
Unless it's a protective charm, it's a good thing the boys decided to not join the ritual.

Daniel remains cautious, but not hostile in his behaviour.
Remarkable, Stonefist the scholar would've loved to see this.

That str check usually seems to work.
Hopefully nothing eerie has readied an action to bite you in the leg for it.

"Hmm, that's quite the security system.
If i ever get back to Janderhoff, i'll have to talk this over with an alchemist i know."

"Okay...so much for grabbing the door.
Somehow it's draining my bodyheat. It will ask for either a key, or be smashed down."

Yes, you heard correct.
My witch's thrush rammed down a door with a strength check, and bull rushed down another with a natural 20.
I don't have one on me now, so no can repeat.

Dwarven strength, to force the door?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

I had a thrush roll a nat 20 on a bullrush vs a door.
Same thrush also slammed down a door. :)

To Emerich's question;

"It oddly warm here, and someone, or something, is making moaning noises."

I'm speculating on either someone ate fireball, or a flaming zombie.

I assume either Korunar or myself would be walking up front, due to our darkvision.

Daniel takes in the interior of the mine.
"Hmm, for a mine, it's in a poor condition."

<cue the door>
Daniel puts his ear to the door.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

"It does continue, but with the lack of air flow, not for long."

"Well, if anybody is carrying a rope, we can tie it to my waist and yours."

Daniel resurfaces...

"Hello again."
When back on dry ground, he pulls aside a few of his hairs, that had gotten in front of his eyes.

"The other side was quiet, as far as i saw.
There's a number of glowing stones on the ceiling, oddly. The air is breathable, but cold and thinner, no holes for fresh air in.
Much like an enclosed space."

We dwarves are a stout and strong people. :)

I told you, Daniel's based on a non traditional dwarf character. :)
Btw, Korunar, if cursed items can do stuff to change someone, why not water?

Daniel smiles softly.

"I'll take the first dive then."
Swim: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Guidance, by chance?

I strongly doubt it, but it'd be hilarious if nobody sees through the bluff. I thank you for it anyway, Emerich. ;)

"And in an hour, you all will turn into rabbits.
I've heard of enchanted wells."

Bluff: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

+1 BaB
+1 Fort & +1 Ref

1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Oh, nice.
3 = 2 con +1 FCB

CLass feature: Nimble +1
While wearing light armor or no armor, i get a +1 dodge bonus.

+1 Acrobatics
+1 Perception
+1 Sleight of hand
+1 stealth

I switched that wanderlust for the trait Highlander, which gives me +1 to stealth checks and it becomes a class skill.

"Traveled path then."

Daniel smiles faintly.

"I'm up for a good cave exploration."
