Darius Amenta's page

Got my chronicle and all looks good to me.

Thank you for GMing Amazing Red and thank you everyone else for making the adventure fun too - even at the end when Darius was in a very bad way...

Darius' wounds seem to heal, though he appears pale as if a lot of his blood has been drained. That's the con damage.

Even when he's physically healed he still remains unconscious. That's from being at 0 or less wisdom score.

Over the next couple of days of rest Darius will come around on his own.

"So it appears we made it then..." is the first thing he says as he wakes up.

"Next time i will have to bring along some bug repellent. I did not know i was so tasty!" he says with a weak chuckle.

Currently on 35 damage taken, -4 con and -12 wis...

I'll use my re-roll with +2 for GM stars on the next save that Darius fails.

I'm pretty much screwed and can't do anything here until i save that confusion poison :(

fortitude save, luck: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15

The poison runs through Darius' system quickly and overwhelms his senses.

confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 98

Darius tries to shoot the creature that is attached to him. I think that would be what he would try to do, he is an archer after all.

bow attack, point blank, luck, inspired, slowed: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 12

damage, point blank, luck: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

"Thank you Hyglak my friend. I hope it helps defeat this creature."

He then slowly takes another shot at the bug thing, trying to force his muscles to respond as they should.

bow attack, point blank, luck, inspired, slowed: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 18

damage, point blank, luck: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9 Now with extra good alignment!

Oops i missed a turn there. I'll assume i was helping Hyglak that turn.

"Don't worry Shel, we'll have you free in no time."

Now for this turn.

will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 oh dear...

Darius' movement slows, but he focuses his skills again and doesn't let it stop him from taking another shot with his bow. Archaeologist's Luck again.

bow attack, inspired, point blank luck, slow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 27
damage, point blank, luck: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7

Darius moves nearer and takes another shot at the mayor.

bow attack, point blank, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 26 damage, point blank: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

From where Darius is he cannot even see the mayor, which would make his threats a little empty and pointless. I've just moved him to inside the hedge then took a move action before shooting.

Darius move up and aims for the Mayor. He does not shoot until he the man does something threatening to him or his allies.

"No-one has to die today, Mayor. Shel, there are always other options. Will you all not listen to reason! Give up this madness!"

Held action to shoot the man if he does something threatening to Darius or one of his allies.

"There is of course a third option that you seem to have missed out entirely 'friend'," Darius brings his bow up and slowly retrieves an arrow.

Darius again calls on his innate abilities to put more force behind his voice. His abilities also have the added effect of enhancing his combat abilities for if words alone do not solve this situation. Archaeologists Luck

"I may not have very strong beliefs, but i certainly know that this is wrong and unnatural! Now you stop what you are doing or we will have no choice but to stop you... Permanently!"

intimidate: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 = 16

Not me, i looked when you got posioned. Sorry Marduk

"Very well done there Senketsu. What kind of creature was that thing? Oh to have a learned scholar right now."

Darius starts to move slowly towards the sounds as quietly as he can. The sound of combat may have carried, but Darius does his best to not let the enemies know where he is coming from.

stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Darius is a bow user and normally would not move in to melee unless forced, but i'll leave it for now and assume he has his dagger drawn to help the melee fighters with flanking.

Darius tries to move through the crops towards the north to get around the man.

Entire turn spent doing that. Not sure if this is possible but i don't know unless i try!

"I'm afraid i know nothing of posions and illness. I wish i could help you my 3-leg race partner. It makes me unhappy to see you this frail. Maybe we can find someone friendly in town who can help? That will be in the morning though i would think."

Darius follows the others but pays close attention to Marduk to make sure she doesn't get any worse.

"If the trail has gone cold perhaps we should return to our beds. We should probably try to keep a watch rotation so at least one person is awake and able to wake the others if danger shows it's face again."

"That was a very large spider, was it not! Are you OK Marduk, did it bite you?"

Darius shows genuine concern for the feral woman's well being.

Darius draws his dagger in his free hand and makes a strike at the spider, as much to distract it for Marduk as to actually hurt it.

dagger attack, flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 2 = 25

I've not added anything for prone and i'm unsure if Hyglak continued to inspire us so i left that off too.

dagger damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Darius hears the sounds of fighting as Hyglak starts up a heroic tale. He moves in and heads for a corner where he can get a clear shot of the spider then takes a shot with his bow.

knowledge (nature)?: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8 He has bardic knowledge but only has taken ranks in Dugeoneering.

bow attack, point blank, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 18

bow damage, point blank: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

"That really is a large spider!"

perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

"I think there is a concealed door over there..." says Darius as Marduk disturbs a spider.

I'm happy with that as the plan.

and he does just that.

"Although they are dressed in a similar costume, these are not the people who attacked me earlier. It seems this is some form of cult that is twisting the worship of Desna into something i have not seen before."

Darius stays to the back of the room while trying to get a clear shot at the enemy engaging Marduk. Once clear he fires an arrow.

bow attack, point blank, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 28

damage roll, point blank: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

"I am very glad to see you are all OK. That magically animated scarecrow was certainly hitting hard and took many arrows without falling."

He checks over the remains for any clues as to who or what animated the creature. He replies to Marduk while picking through the straw and cloth.

"I believe she was planning to hand me over to someone to be killed in her stead, which was not the night i was planning for!" he says with a very low commitment laugh.

With his focus still fully on the creature Darius takes another shot with his bow.

bow attack,point blank, bless, luck: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 31

damage,point blank, luck: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8

Darius sees his allies faltering and tries to predict his enemies movements so as to place his shot perfectly. He focuses for a brief moment then takes another shot with his bow. Using archaeologist's luck.

bow attack, point blank, bless, luck: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 25

damage, point blank, luck: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9

"This creature is tougher than it looks!"

Darius takes another shot at the scary scarecrow as he takes a couple of steps back. Could someone move me 10ft left please. Currently mobile only.

bow attack, point blank, bless: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 13 bow damage, point blank: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4

Darius is a little shaken up but the situation and is slow to react as the scarecrow come to life.

He tries to put some distance between himself and the creature before firing an arrow at it's straw stuffed chest.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

bow attack, point blank: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 = 25 bow damage, point blank: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10

Darius catches his breath a little after a dash across the village and a fast retelling of what just happened.

"I was initially more concerned that i was not the one to replace her. And did i mention that funny mask the older woman was wearing? It certainly doesn't remind me of any other Desnan religious practices that is for sure! I certainly agree that we must do our best to stop this sacrifice."

"Well i don't usually like to kiss and tell, but..." without finishing his sentence Darius turns and bolts for the exit. Double move if he can. He'll also arming himself with his bow.

"I assume you know somewhere appropriate we could go to? If so then you lead the way my dear." says Darius with a grin.

I'm sorry about that DM. I've had a lot on my plate this week and my PbPs have got away from me. Should be back to some form of normality now though (he says while posting at 2.50am...). :)

"Well hello there my dear." says Darius as he opens the window.

"This is such a warm welcome for someone from a far away land. Do you wish to go somewhere quiet to hear tales of my travels?"

"I thought some of the food had a unique taste. Maybe it is just a local curiosity for this village. I am sadly not as well traveled as i would like so am unsure how other remote places serve their food."

Darius heads back to the mayor's house to see what the sleeping arrangements are like.

Darius observes the prayer to Desna, although it wasn't a god he knew much about he still respected the prayers.

knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

"This food looks delicious. Thank you for inviting us to your table."

"I've never seen something like that happen before, yet you say it happens frequently around here. Does this 'Dream Tender' know more about this? Can we speak to them?"

Darius' cheer of victory dies half formed as the pig transforms before his eyes.

knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 3 Darius has bardic knowledge but isn't very good at it. Dungeoneering is +5, all others are +0.

"What is that thing!" he shouts as he quickly gets back on his feet and grabs his bow from his back.

Darius stepped backed and dropped himself prone last round but i forgot to move him. I've stepped him away from the pig monster.

Darius steps away and the promptly sits down in the mud feeling rather worn out.

I'm no match for these two, but at least i joined in for a while.

Darius makes another grab for the slippery pig.

grapple. inspired, luck: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 12

Darius focuses his skills as he tries to grab the slippery piggy. Archaeologist's Luck, 3 rounds lingering

grapple. inspired, luck: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 10

"Sorry Marduk, I got your arm instead..."

Darius sees the pig and doesn't really feel like getting his clothes messed up, but he looks around at the villagers and sees how excited they are.

If we are to find out what has happened here it is better to make some friends. Come on Darius, get yourself messed up for a good cause!

Darius steps forwards when they ask for the next contestants. "I'll take a turn!"

Finding Marduk's enthusiasm infectious, Darius finds he's quite keen to win the race and prove himself.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

acrobatics: 10d20 ⇒ (14, 8, 18, 18, 19, 7, 13, 20, 10, 17) = 144 I've added the same amount of rolls as Marduk just incase they're needed. Acrobatics is+9 for Darius.

"I would be happy to join the contest as your teammate Marduk. I think we can win if we can work well together."

sense motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18

"This man does not sound very trustworthy based on your account. If you are keen to do your best to pay your taxes then i am happy to accept your offer to stay and join in the festival."

Darius then turns to his allies. "A festival and a comfortable place to stay sounds good, yes?"

Darius is very glad to see the mayor after such a harsh reception from the other man.

He walks with the mayor as the group talks to him. "A man named Elias Kyle headed out this way a few weeks ago and he's not been heard from in a couple of weeks. We're trying to retrace his steps to see if we can locate him as his family are wondering where he's got to."

"Good day young man. My name is Darius, and your name is...?" he briefly waits for a reply before continuing.

"We are here to see the Mayor. Do you know if he is accepting visitors or do we need to make an appointment?"

"I'm very interested to see your village. I am from a very different place filled with sand and very hot weather. This place seems very different to my homeland."

Seeing that Senketsu cannot heal the creature himself, Darius gets out his healing wand and holds it out for the boy to see.

"This wand contains healing magic that can help your pet."

He then walks over and uses the wand on the bug.

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Errrr... sorry about that little one. It was an accident. Your pet just surprised my friend here. What is your name? I am Darius, it is good to meet you."

Darius listens as Sheila Heidmarch tells the tale of a missing man and backdated taxes.

He looks around the room to see who else the society has sent along.

Another group of misfits and problem solvers. Just my kind of people! he thinks to himself.

"Good day Venture Captain. Thank you for calling me here, i've had little to do since my last mission for the society and was starting to grow bored. What can you tell us about this village we'll be going to? Ravenmoor you said?"

He tries to keep focused on the woman's words but keeps being distracted by the wild woman across the room.
