Donnie "Nine Lives" Everstrum's page

sorry to say i think i have to bow out of this game its a little to crowded for me, and i'm also struggling to find to the to post. i'm pretty sure the group will be fine without me. all the best of luck.

"I cast detect magic before bed last night and got these results:
Satchel: Moderate aura of Transmutation
Illuminated page: Strong auras of Conjuration, Illusion, & Transmutation"

just to clarify is the illuminated page is the map of deadsnows?

Plonking himself down it is obvious Donnie has had a rough night too.

"So did anybody else have horrid nightmares?"

Donnie says good night to whoever is still in the common room and retires for the evening.

Davkul

i have no plans to be absent for any period of time

Donnie cast detect magic to look at all the items sprawled on the table (apart from maps and scrolls was there anything else in the satchel i'll be looking at with det mag up?)

Merchant wishing to travel to Citadel Adbar seeks companions of the road:

Juzilan Greyfrost, Merchant of the Amber Traders League of the city of Sundabar, is looking for reliable travelling companions to escort him to Citadel Adbar in time for the Midwinter Fair of 1384 DR. Given the recent reports that goblins driven by desperate hunger may be preying upon travellers upon the Adbar Run, the aforementioned Juzilan is seeking companions who will NOT BE AFRAID of a little peril, and who will be used to rough camping conditions given the limited number of settlements to be found between The Fork and Citadel Adbar.
Travel expenses of such companions will be met, and a modest donation to represent his thanks, upon safe arrival at the gates of Citadel Adbar, will be made.
Candidates for the trip are to meet in the former offices of the Redstar Mining Company, for a discussion at about noon, on the 30th day of the month of Nightal.
THOSE OF NO MORAL STANDING WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

"I don't think anybody in Deadsnows will be able to help us on this matter... perhaps taking a small job to Citadel Adbar and looking for help there? <in a slightly hushed voice> I mean the Elves who run the mining don't care about the people?"

GM Charles

"The Letters on the map are written with the elvish alphabet... Although I can't figure it out"

I know i havn't been posting alot... i'm still checking a couple times a day, we just have so many peoples ideas flying around i've stepped back... Donnie is probably very intimidated by what is going on and doesn't want to say anything stupid

Donnie follows after Nim

untrained Appraise (1d20 2=16)

"I'm sorry Seebo, unfortunately there were many things still to be investigated, the chain, the markings on the wall, the symbol that undead had... at least we still have the satchel, perhaps we return to town get some sleep and come back here in the morning."

Anyway, who cares about that bear and its chain. Let's get out of here.

"There Was something significant about the chain, i'd say its why those things came, I to saw one of them fly into the chain itself... not to mention how many wild bears do you know wear chains?"

Will save (1d20 2=13)

ok people!! if we die because we should have rested then i will blame you lot, if we die because the thing we were hunting was an old dragon then well........... it would not have mattered if we had rested or not!!!!

i'm just role playing accurately, we have no reason to suspect the birds will harm us unless we attack them first, as for whatever was chasing davkul if we fight as a group we should be fine, as for OOC thoughts, a GM wont generally TPK a party on their first real mission.

whispering to Davkul "where is it?" (free action)
Donnies eyes are peeled for anything moving towards us Spot (1d20=19) (standard)

so i think it will roll high for me if i dont have a modifier >.<

also donnies move action depends on if he sees anything

"Considering hes the only one of us who can fight he sure is a big wuss"

Seebo (and GM of course):

Donnie (with sword still in hand) moves to stand next to Davkul and readies an action to attack.

looking back over at the gnomes

"Guys i don't think theres any running from this one, I think between the bird things and whatever it is Davkul is sensing we going to have to fight our way out"

sorry for delay in posting it seems i left the house right when things got good

Donnie arrives near the body just in time to see Nim heft the thing and run back to the group, looking around a little more Donnie sees the birds... "hmm i hope there not dangerous"

knowledge nature (1d20 3=10)

i think sombody working in admin at invis castle hates me

"oh well if the big Gnome isn't hanging around i sure ain't"

Donnie heads back to the main group.

Slightly out of breath Donnie manages to find a few words.
"Umm so there are like allot of weird bird things over there and umm... oh hi Davkul"

please scratch all previous plans i made, once the potential threat of the birds has been sorted i'll try again to investigate the body etc

Seeing the creature struck down Donnie will move up to the body and inspect the symbol further.

i'm hoping this allows me another knowledge religion... or maybe spellcraft or something, if not i'll roll untrained search on the body, and although the skill roll is the last part of my action i'm just waiting to confirm what i am rolling before i do

i'm going to say that once i dragged it off and realized how heavy it was i left it on the ground near by (as the weight pushes me from lightly encumbered to medium) also ignoring it until potential combat threat as been dealt with

EDIT: Ready move action

looks like my luck has run out
Donnie does his best to think what he may know about the symbol.
knowledge religion (1d20 3=11)

also i guess this means i get to roll init... initiative (1d20=6)

Donnie clips his sheathed sword back onto his belt, shows open palms (as a sign of peace) and tries to communicate with the being.

"We mean you know harm. We are looking for a lost friend. We have no fight with you"

looking over to his friends

"thats not Fenwick is it?"

Donnie is just talking at the moment (i think my init 6 (kicker 0) is better than init 6 (kicker -1). i'll ready action draw sword and attack if he is obviously about to attack

"i wonder if the bear is native? and Don't bears hibernate during the winter?" knowledge nature (1d20 3=22)

Donnie removes the chain from the bear then using his sheathed sword Donnie will try to pry the bear into rolling over
strength check (1d20-1=18) if you need one

<after that has happened and if nothing particularly interesting is under the bear>

Donnie will move closer to the marking on the wall, cast detect magic and examine them further.

"Somebodies pet you say..."

bardic knowledge (1d20 3=6)

oh invis castle why do you mock me so?!!

Bardic knowledge (1d20 3=6)

Donnie will wait with the group mumbling to himself about the cold.

Looking over his shoulder as he follows Bronx Donnie says to Nim

"This is hardly i time for music Nim"

Donnie continues on after Bronx.

Donnie stays out of the way of the huntsman, letting him pass.

Donnie struggling with the snow and cold, seems completely oblivious to everything other than following the person in front of him.

spot and bardic lore (1d20=8, 1d20 3=7)

Trying to hear whats caused the Bear to roar Donnie stops for a moment, Listen (1d20 4=10) but its no good the bear must be to far away.

Bronx having pointed out the satchel Donnie will move towards it and inspect it closer to see if it bares any further clues.

i'm not bothering to roll search, simply inspecting it on the outside looking for things like blood to see if the halfling is wounded

"I agree with Bronx, lets just collect these things and move quickly to find the poor fellow"

"I guess haste is the key to our success at the moment, lets track this Halfling before it gets any darker."

donnie will quickly run into the inn and explain to Mrs. Pestwick that he shall be back and that care over his mount would be appreciated offering her a gold piece as a sign of good faith. Donnie then returns outside and begins after Nim

"Shouldn't we just report this is to the authorities, surely it is not our responsibility to drop what we are doing and start hunting bug creatures"

Seeing Mrs Prestwick with his sword Donnie is quick to take it out of her hands

"Thank you so much, with all the mayhem i had forgotten my sword all together"

Donnie will follow the others outside.

"Excuse me all, but if i am to be traveling with you to learn what that was may i ask how far we are going tonight? As i need to know if i am packing my things and readying my mount."

"I'm quite happy to travel with such fine Gnomes, at least until we learn more about what happened here. We may also see fit to find other accommodation?"

spot check (i have no ranks come on natural 20 :P) (1d20=13)

oh well i dont see anything on davkul

Making sure Davkul is steady on his feet, Donnie moves to the nearest chair and table and has a seat. Looking over to the band of Gnomes (one of which is the ugliest hes ever seen) he introduces himself.

"I'm okay thank you Seebo, you may call me Donnie. Might i just say what a fortuitous group of Gnomes Donnie is looking at Nim smileing broadly at the obviousness that he is not a gnome as he says this we are. I think we made quite a good team"

common room: seebo, davkul, bronx and DM :)

My action for round 4 spoilered because nim cant see.

Any character that makes a DC 21 Listen check against a fey (+1 circumstance modifier factored in to increase difficulty owing to the minor distraction of continuing sounds coming from the hall:

" I could swear there is something making an odd noise..."

Donnies action for round 4 will be posted shortly this is all i have time for i'm just on my way out

i think i am am having a similar problem where a rather lengthy post made by you (which included the info on B3 beetle leaving) was not showing on my screen untill now... it has been to long for me to edit my post but if you would allow, this is what i would like to do instead

"Thought I heard something for a minute there..."

Listen check (1d20 4=6)

"...nope nevermind"

Seeing Davkul doing his very best to kill the beetle thing Donnie decides to help.

"Us Gnome better stick together, never could trust a big folk... or in this case a big beetle thingy"

5 foot step into C2 draw sword and make an attack at beetle in B1 attck/damn on beetle in B1 (1d20 1=11, 1d6=4)

i stopped singing so the buffs now last for 5 rounds
Also this time i remembered my own +1 attack/damage

Continuing with his song, Donnie draws his Longsword and makes a swipe at the creature closest to him.

"Die fell thing!"

drawing sword and attacking the big beetle in B3 attack and damage (1d20=18, 1d6-1=5)

EDIT: oops i forgot to add my own bardic music buff so that would be 19 to hit and 6 dam... sorry bout that

Donnie looking around at these creatures wonders to himself if hes seen them before.

Knowledge nature (1d20 3=6)

Looking around at the state of those fighting these creatures Donnie thinks its time to lift spirits. Taking a deep breath he begins to sing.

inspire courage +1 to saves against fear and charm and +1 to attacks rolls and damage rolls to all who can hear me for the duration of my singing +5 rounds after

also sorry bout lack of posting my ISP crashed

sorry i am slightly confused as to the way we are doing init and when best for me to enter the story... i hereby give you permission to post it in a big obvious, patronizing way so i dont miss it :P

Donnie, confused by the brawl that has erupted near him stands and watches unable to move of shock.

No Languages listed!!!

Basic languages(free): Gnome, Common, Chondathan. (The latter is a regional language.)

idk what the problem is here but my languages have been picked and posted where it says "Languages"... but i do see when i view my own profile there not showing so languages will be Written up with all the other info..

as for everything else it should all be fixed now sorry for the confusion.

Also i looked up harmony and dont really know how i missed if the first time, but looks like i got my bonus spell for when i hit 2cnd chosen already... thanks for that : )

Damn i couldnt get in done in time to just edit the last post... (hate to double post... again) but i all done lemme know if u happy with it

: )

i wasn't incredibly familiar with the FR deities i chose Corellan Larethian simply for being god of bards... back story for this wont be a problem and will be up shortly

i have put more thought to it and instrument of choice will be up shortly too as well as upgraded to masterwork.

i had intended for my most prominent occupation to have been a court jester at one time but have since left that position and continued on with my journey having since ended up in deadsnows

i'm to lazy to work out my money again lets just say i spent extra for a slightly nicer room/meals

apart from an undecided feat. i think donnie is done.

: )

don't worry the 1st thing i did was go back and read all the original posts... donnie is bout 70% done, and i will spending the course of the day transferring all his info from paper to forums.

i have access to the forgotten realms campaign setting, races of: stone, destiny and wild, and can get access to the players guide to fearun (can borrow from a friend easly enough)

hi there, this is a mate of longreaches who brought to my attention that you guys lost a paladin and are looking into somebody playing a bard. if psyonic fox doesnt respond in time and your still interested in having somebody fill the spot let me know... just FYI if your considering me i can be ready within 24hours... background and all.

thanks :)

(btw this would be my bard toon.)
