I think I will pass. I have the availability to spend the necessary amount of time posting but I wish to not spend it locked to the computer. :D

Checking our DM's aliases (sp?), I don't think he has posted anywhere since Tuesday of last week. May be an internet problem or some kind of personal dilemma.

@ DM

Some questions regarding posting and acting order...

Some DMs have everyone post (when they can) and then resolve according to the order. Others want posting and resolution in order.

1. Do you want us posting in order or by the round or something different?

2. We are near the end of the round, but I'm not sure who has gone or where we are.
After Silas (DM run NPC) is Thom but he posted earlier in the round. Then it is the scorpion (not sure if its action was described for this round earlier). Then, it is back to Armistad (also played by the DM along with the scorpions) at the top of the order but he has not gone. So, I'm not sure why those actions in a row by the DM (Silas, scorpion, Armistad, broken by pc Thom who posted earlier) were not all played.
Are we waiting on Thom to finish the round or for you (vonklinen) to finish posting or are you waiting on us?

No complaint, everyone has things they need to do in life other than a game. Answering this will let me know so that I can chime in when I'm supposed to and not worry about it otherwise.

Thanks in advance.

He appears to be still posting with some of his alias' (sp?).
Two of them on Sunday and one this past Thursday. So, he is still about.
*shrug*


half-orc gunslinger 2

Darius, still wishing to conserve his shots, moves within 30 feet and draws his crossbow while doing so. He then loads it and awaits an opportunity to shoot.

Note: two moves actions. Rapid reload is only for his pistol.


half-orc gunslinger 2

initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10


half-orc gunslinger 2

Maybe we will find something worth trading for at this scrapyard. Then again, maybe not.

With that, Darius walks alongside Augustus but clearly is paying more attention to who may be watching them than to what they may find.


half-orc gunslinger 2

Certainly, a couple of hours sounds right.

Next, Darius turns to Silas

Be sure to have someone keep an eye on our prisoners, Silas. If you are wanting us to make arrangements to do shiftwork watching them, best speak up now. I'll always do my share.

With that he turns to follow Augustus toward the scrap yard.


half-orc gunslinger 2

I might just tag along there, Augustus. That yard looks interesting and I'm pretty good with my hands and putting things together. I picked me up a lil alchemy too.

ooc for Silas and anyone who wants to read:

Depending upon how far this goes, Darius may take a level or two of alchemist.

While tagging along with Agustus, Darius will be looking around for items and being followed/watched.

A number of perception rolls in case they are needed...
Perception 1d20+6

perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

A number of craft alchemy checks to look for stuff useful for making gunpowder etc.

alchemy 1d20+6

alchemy 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

alchemy 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

alchemy 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

alchemy 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8


half-orc gunslinger 2

I say it is best we stick near to each other while here. I don't think it would be good for us to be caught apart and I just have a bad feeling about this whole thing.

Finally, Darius turns to Silas and speaks further

Is there a jail or prison of some sort here? I'm just trying to figure out exactly what we plan to do with these gnolls while we catch some rest. Keeping them chained up might not be too good if these townsfolk actually trade with the local tribes any.


half-orc gunslinger 2

Nice to meet you, Magali. Name's Darius. Darius Flood.


half-orc gunslinger 2

Certainly Augustus, go ahead and look at his book.

I figure we will split the gold. Anyone care for any of these other items?

With that, Darius displays the items he just took from the corpse.

The alchemist had fifty gold, bandolier with worthless formulae. A formulae book, backpack, dagger, flask of alchemist fire, one flask of acid, a tanglefoot bag, a sunrod, a waterskin and some dried meat.


half-orc gunslinger 2

I wouldn't be surprised if we have more surprises. Whoever 'The Boss' of these gnolls happens to be, I bet he would like to get his hands back on his investment.

...Darius states while pointing to the muskets he and his friends have confiscated.


half-orc gunslinger 2

Mind if I take that then in the meantime? It is always good to have an extra gun. Perhaps a powderhorn for it too?

Note: I miscounted the number of characters grabbing muskets and thought five had already taken them rather than four.

With that, Darius also makes a point to go after something he overlooked and searches the alchemist's corpse in hopes of finding some form of alchemy kit and formula book.


half-orc gunslinger 2

Darius looks for the assorted powderhorns and bullets to go with his companions guns. He also searches for alchemical cartridges if there are any. He then proceeds to hand his finds, if any, over to his companions.

Well, I'll be happy to collect that 2,000 gold soon enough.

He also takes the time ot collect the swords and spears, hoping he and his friends can add every copper possible on top of the promised gold.

As Grillik wanders ahead, Darius decides to question the remaining gnolls.

In gnoll, of course

DBBdd%%$d!!! GF%%$RRR FF$!! GGF!!! GGF!!!
So, who gave you these guns and what tribe are you from?

While talking, Darius carefully fingers his whip as if to make use of it on his captives.
intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21


half-orc gunslinger 2

Yes, I both know that I provoke an attack of opportunity and that it is resolved first but I see how my wording in both my action description and the spoiler may not have been explicit enough to make it known that I knew the Attack of Opportunity (AoO) goes first as opposed to merely happening.

As is, I believe the open manner in which I described Darius' actions will allow our DM to easily "script" the results of Darius' roll (disarm) and those of the gnoll (AoO and possible damage).

But, a sincere thanks for the heads up. I am familiar with the rules but I most certainly make mistakes and overlook things from time to time.


half-orc gunslinger 2

We need to find out where these critters got their muskets 'cause I doubt they made them.

ooc:
I had forgotten to choose my languages but considering my character's background traveling through this area and that gnol is available to half-orcs I guess I will do the metagame option of speaking gnoll. :D

If a problem, just let me know.

Note: base languages> common, orc bonus from intelligence> draconic, gnoll

Basically, Darius is going to attempt to disarm one of the gnolls and take that AoO, hoping to not get put down when he does so.

dfFF$$%%#@!!!
surrender in gnoll

Darius moves toward the closest gnoll and attempts to disarm it, leaving himsejf open for a counter.

disarm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

And Sorry to be a bother but where do I post the character sheet.

click on your avatar or name (Merillin Thomdril) link to go to profile page. Then hit the edit profile button. "Copy" your sheet and "paste" it in. Then save.

athasian bard archetype

d20 pfsrd bard stuff

Hit points are max at first level
Bard has 1d8, so 8 plus con mofifier.
Is con a 14 (+2 modifier) or a 12 (+1 modifier)? I saw something mentioned about swapping them.
That means you have 10 hitpoints (with a 14 con) or 9 hit points with a 12 con.

The BAB (or base attack bonus) for a bard is +0 at first level.
depnding upon what your strength is your melee attack will be +0 +strength modifier.

The base saves at first level for a normal bard are Fort +0, Ref +2, Will +2, taken from the chart on the link.
The base saves for the athasian bard archetype at first level are Fort +2, Ref +2, and Will +2, taken from the chart on its link. Seems a little odd but I haven't looked through it see if it is a mistake or a trade-off. Doesn't bother me though.

It is generous of Paizo to post this stuff so I hope everyone can eventually get around to picking up the books you use. :D /end game plug


half-orc gunslinger 2

Concentrating on the wounded gnoll in front of him, Darius strikes back with his saber.

scimitar (saber): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

I assume that means me first. :D


half-orc gunslinger 2

Darius drops his crossbow and charges across the distance, drawing his saber while doing so and slicing two handed at the first dogman he comes to.

Ayyiiii!!!

saber (scimitar): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6


half-orc gunslinger 2

They are dangerously close now! We might need to charge real soon!

...Darius states while eyeing his saber.

He then quickly reloads his crossbow and looks for a wounded gnoll to shoot, most notedly the one he previously shot if possible. Then he fires.

light crossbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

I can't imagine this vermin has figured out how to make guns on their own and I also highly doubt they could have taken a shipment with the guard it would have had. I'm think' maybe someone is arming them and I don't like that thought much.


half-orc gunslinger 2

After narrowly escaping a musket shot, Darius takes a deep breath and quickly reloads his crossbow and fires again, hoping to finish off an injured gnoll if he can.

Die doggie scum!

light crossbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1


I gotta turn in for the night. Hopefully some more will join in by the time I get off work tomorrow...sometime after 1600 est

Still looking for more. Flavor, style and RP over mechanics.

Is that with respect to what I posted or with respect to character creation? I originally assumed the former but since this is in recruitment I thought perhaps it is the other.


half-orc gunslinger 2

Sorry for my lack of consideration. You can call me Darius

...he states with a smile before taking cover and waiting the opportunity to fire again.


Done and done.


half-orc gunslinger 2

Silas, I'm just gonna start shooting these guys with my crossbow til they get up a closer, then blast them with my pistol. Let me know if you want something different.

With that, Darius loads and aims his crossbow

mechanics:

light crossbow to hit 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

damage 1d8 ⇒ 2

in event of a natural 19-20
critical confirmation

light crossbow to hit 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

damage 1d8 ⇒ 7

edit note: should have been +5


Finishing up right now.
