Eadgart Gene Pentti's page

I'm afraid I'm going to have to back out of the game :( I'm really not having fun anymore.

The party is excellent, and the players are awesome. Things were a lot of fun at first, with a lot of interesting scenes thanks to everyone's masterful roleplaying. But ever since our very first combat, things have kind of ground to a halt :( With these last two or three weeks being the worst.

Thanks for the game everyone, but it's time I moved on.

Sorry. I didn't realize it was my turn. Gene will move near Alata and use Aid Another to boost her attack

Aid Another: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Gene is in the middle of changing into his banded mail suit, carefully securing the pieces over his clothes. He glances over at Akkad and Alata and moves over to them.

"Morning," starts Gene. "So what was that thing that attacked us last night?"

B~++%*@s!

I guess we could RP "offscreen" in the meantime?

By this I mean kinda talk in-character around a fireplace without being specific about when it happens. Maybe this happened the last time we camped or something.

Sounds good to me!

Okay! Then my action is to move behind Yoshi and use Aid Another to boost his AC by 2.

Aid Another: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

I guess I didn't read the description well enough then.

Suggestions on what to do?

AC 20 18 (T 11 9, F 19 17) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

Gene charges in after Alata and Yoshi, sword and shield raised.

Charge (+2 Attack, -2 AC)
2-Handed Power Attack w/ Thirteen (Furious Focus & Charge Bonus): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Damage (2-Handed, Power Attack, Overhand Cheap): 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

"Why did we come here again?"

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Large door it is, I suppose.

What if we opened all the doors at the same time?

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

"Lets get right to it then. Make with the magic and we'll head deeper in."

I just realized that I've been typing Overhand Cheap... instead of Overhand Chop.

AC 20 18 (T 11 9, F 19 17) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

No warriors left now right?

Gene charges one of the skeletal archers

Charge (+2 Attack, -2 AC)
2-Handed Power Attack w/ Thirteen (Furious Focus & Charge Bonus): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Damage (2-Handed, Power Attack, Overhand Cheap): 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

AC 20 18 (T 11 9, F 19 17) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

Gene charges in, sword raised and shield ready, to attack one of the undead warriors.
Charge (+2 Attack, -2 AC)
2-Handed Power Attack w/ Thirteen (Furious Focus & Charge Bonus): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Damage (2-Handed, Power Attack, Overhand Cheap): 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Waiting for undead to go

I'm still just waiting for Targan-sempai to notice my mithral shield.

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

What're our surroundings like? Anywhere to take cover?

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

"Sounds good to me." Gene keeps his sword out and his shield ready. He smiles at the way Alata continues to address Akkad and him, using full titles.

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.

"There could be more of those things." Gene pulls off his chain shirt and gets into his usual armor. "We should get up and get going."

Yeah, we hit him with what? *checks the numbers* 50 something damage now? I'm pretty sure he's ded too.

AC 16 (T 12, F 14) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 30 ft.

Gene restraps his shield as he moves in next to Alata. Wielding his sword with both hands, he strikes hard at the monster.

Power Attack w/ Furious Focus: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Critical Confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 (Probs not a hit)
Damage w/ Overhand Chop: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 (dealt as slashing damage)

EDIT: I just realized that I've been listing my armor class wrong. With the chainmail shirt and shield I believe it should come out as...
AC 18 (T 12, F 16)

AC 16 (T 12, F 14) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 30 ft.

Gene runs over and pulls Akkad out of the fray.

Move to Akkad, unstrap shield as free action so Gene can use his shield hand. Standard action to reposition Akkad.

Reposition: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Hum. So the monster is surrounded right? That means Gene can't move in to hit it?

Sorry for the delay. Been busy.

AC 16 (T 12, F 14) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 30 ft.

Haha, I wish.

Gene gets out of bed and hoists his sword and shield.
Two move actions.

AC 16 (T 12, F 14) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 30 ft.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

AC 16 (T 12, F 14) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 30 ft.

Gene changes into his chain shirt before bed.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Gene will take whatever watch. He will change into his chain shirt before bed.

Wait... I thought we already had a camp set up, with a fire and everything

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.

"Well, if we can't get in... Maybe that means nothing can get out too? Lets just go back upstairs."

I'll let someone else post before me :)

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.

Gene stands up a little straighter at the mention of that name, Asmodeus.

"What's the prayer?", asks the Shadowhunter, hesitantly.

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.

Gene leaves his bag at the camp and heads down with the others, bringing up the rear.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

"Hmm. I dunno. I guess we are supposed to be out here investigating, so we ought to, well, investigate." Gene hefts his sword. "Are we going to try to kick the door down, or does someone want to try a lockpick?"

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

Gene walks in with the others.

"How about we take one of the abandoned houses? Better than sleeping outside."

He draws his sword, Thirteen, and readies his shield, Snow, as they approach.

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

"... local population of Rocs..."

"What's a Roc?"

He didn't know what that was.

"I am Alata of the Faelindr"

"Gene," replies the Cheliaxian, before quickly adding, "of the Shadowhunters."

He didn't know what a 'fay-lint-er' was either, but felt it better not to ask. The girl in-front of him was an Elf, and he did know what those were; Worldbreakers, every one of them. Gene had heard all sorts of things about elves though, and he figured it best to not say anything that might upset her. Besides, she seemed nice enough.

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)

Gene is naturally stuck at the back of the group.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 15 ft. / MEDIUM LOAD (-3 ACP)
Wealth: 26 pp -> 16 pp
Equipment: Chain shirt GET!
Encumberance: 93.5 lbs. (light load) -> +25 lbs. = 118.5 (medium load)

"Gnashbone said we should follow the river that's north of the town."

I believe Alata has a Wayfinder? Or at least she did on the old sheet. At the very least, Targan is trained in Survival and can tell us which way is North.

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.

Gene goes shopping for a potion of expeditious retreat, vermin repellant, and a chain shirt.

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.

"Well... Okay, yeah, I guess those are all good ideas. And I suppose I was planning on shopping around myself."

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.

Gene overhears the word 'Chelish', and he's suddenly more interested than before.

"What are we waiting for then? Lets get going."

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.

Well, shoot. Looks like a couple of other adventurers are beating him to the punch. No time to be cool about it. Better act now, or else Gene will be out of a job.

"I'm with them", hastily adds the Shadowhunter. He sidles up to the group.

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.

Gene observes the scene from a small distance away, leaning against a wall. The Shadowhunter was a known mercenary and, upon hearing the call, knew that one of the guards would come to him eventually.

I'll be have a procedure tomorrow. Nothing serious but it will require anesthesia so I'll be unable to post tomorrow morning. Should be fine by the afternoon.

Stay safe, Alata!

Dot

And glad for the chance to join.

It's a pleasure to have you! It's always cool to see someone play a samurai, and yours was especially cool, back then and now :)

That was saved with my charactersheet at myth-weavers.

I will rewrite it tonight.

Isn't this it?

Silent snowflake falls on mountain,

blades cut through winter wind,
a fountain of crimson showers the victor

Backstory:

Yoshimitsu has been in three major battles and a handful lesser engagements, always on the losing side.
Not that he didn´t fight valiently, he did. Neither was he the first to run. No he wasn´t. But one simple man does not
decide a war or a battle. No matter how well he knows his style, no matter how good armored he is.
But those things can decide if he lives... or dies.
After a while Yoshimitsu learned two simple truths. Honor does not feed you when you are hungry. Glory does not warm you in the winter.
So he decided to become a mercenary. A sellsword. And he was a damn good one.
His school teaches the four elements. A strong stand. A keen eye. A fast strike. And endurance for the next opponent.
He stays true to his masters.
If you manage to buy his deeds, he is loyal, trustworthy and a very good bladesman. As long as you pay.
Just remember, he is a sellsword, no marauder. No women, no children, no innocents.

Outlook:

Yoshimitsu is a bull of a suli, very well muscled, with graceful movements for such a big man. His long black hair is braided through 18 brass rings.
He looks human, until you look into his eyes. Those silver pale orbs showing his true heritage. A faint scar follows his cheekbone and the tip of his left ring finger is missing.
His clothes and armor hide the rest of his many, many scars, by blade, arrow, tooth and claw.

Steed:

He also has a loyal steed. He named it Maelstrom.
The vendor said it was strong as stone, swift as the wind, enduring as the sea and spirited as fire.
Well actually the nag is only loyal if feed regulary with apples, is slow as stone, has almost no wind for long battles, is mean as the sea, and riding it sets your ass on fire.
But still Yoshimitsu likes it. He thinks the nag is fitting to him. And sometimes, sometimes the nag is a mean son of a hellhorse, biting in battle like a demon.

Sad to see you go, Seka. You're a fabulous player. Good luck in your games and other endeavors :)

I'm fine with a new character, and I agree with everyone else.

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.

"Nice place," remarks Gene, as they approach the 'Warehouse'.

Once inside and after entering the kitchen, he eyes the four chairs in the center of the room and looks back to silently count the number of people in the party. "1... 2... 3... 4. Good, enough for everyone then." He forgets to count himself.

Ignoring the stair conversation, Gene sets his equipment on the kitchen table and begins to take an inventory. The Shadowhunter doesn't seem very happy with what he has and he immediatelly sets to rooting around any cupboards that the room might have.

I'm looking for flour or something similar.

"There are a couple of things I want to pick up before we leave town. Do you happen to know of a good alchemist's shop, and a good armorer too?"

Just a question Gene, are you like copy and pasting your stats with your gameplay posts? I'm just asking cause it seems like a small hassle to do that each time.

Yes! I have been putting a simple stat line into each post. It's an experimental thing, kind of a style choice, but it has some use too.

Several times in the past I've lost posts due to one stupid reason or another (hitting backspace at the wrong time, site goes down, etc.), and I decided I had enough of that. Instead of making my posts on the site, I actually write them in Notepad/Wordpad and c&p them over. That way I never lose a post, I can see all the games I'm in just by looking at my desktop, and it makes the stat line a non-hassle because it's always at the beginning of the .txt or .rtf file and gets c&p'd with the rest of the post anyway.

AC 20 (T 11, F 19) / HP 32/32 / Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +5 / CMB +7, CMD 19 / Init +2 / Per +1 / Spd 20 ft.
Wealth: 25 pp -> 26 pp

Gene gladly takes his coin back. He gives Prince Akkad his thanks and heads to the warehouse with the others.
