This is scranford. Not really interested in AL, but here's the character I'd like to reskin for a jungle game if it goes that way.

It is with regret and sadness that I'm going to step away from these boards for a while. It's a combination of many things, and the frustration with the board performance just pushed me to do what needed doing. I've got some things that are taking a higher priority in life at the moment. It's been a real pleasure gaming with you all, and hopefully life will give an opportunity to share this hobby we all love in the future...
Two week business trip. Should be able to post most days, but might be spotty. Camping on 22nd through 26th, so AFK then.
It appears that I am smack dab in the middle of the hunting grounds of an angry Air Elemental named Irma, so if communication stops for a while be aware that I'm probably hiding in a hole somewhere, but will pop my head back out when it's safe.
Egan as stated previously will circumvent the island in his Canoe, just looking around... Whisperwing flying above... Any passengers???
Still here, just nothing really to contribute at this time. I think Egan had planned on exploring the area around the fort... if he needs his canoe to do so... that is fine. He'll send Whisperwing ahead to scout, and would be willing to take any that wish to join him.
Egan, takes his canoe, and attempts to find somewhere to keep it... even if he needs to take it out of the water. He'll then pay someone who looks trustworthy to keep an eye on it for him. "Pick out a meeting place, and I'll meet you there. I'm going to take Whisperwing, and skirt the town... just to get a lay of the land, and what we might expect". Sense Motive (To find someone reliable to watch his canoe)
Egan nimbly dodges the attacks, using his quarterstaff as a lever to dodge, and draws in his breath as one of the blows nearly hits him. He then grimaces and tries to return the favor, concentrating on the one that came closest to hitting him. Quarterstaff to hit
thump
yayayayaya (That's a Beatles chorus)
Sorely pressed and pummeled by the skeletons surrounding him, the Ranger fights back ferociously. Quarterstaff
But continues to struggle with his footing, and the unfamiliar surroundings.
Realizing that his arrows often pass through the spaces between the bones of this type of creature, Egan finds a spot where he can't be surrounded (Back against a wall or crate), and prepares to do battle with his trusty staff. Gotta remember to make or buy some blunt arrows.
Quarterstaff
But finds the slippery deck affords him no steady footing, and flails about a bit ungainly.
Hi Guys. Work is insane right now, so though I'll keep up and post as needed, I won't be able to expand upon my actions for a couple of weeks.
Egan as usual, spends much of his time outside awaiting the next destination and feeding and training Whisperwing. He only comes inside to make sure everyone is safe and happy, and to have a large glass of mixed fruit juice.
After securing his canoe, and making sure the Whisperwing has a place to roost and keep an eye on it, Egan heads to socialize for a bit with the others. "Do you have fruit juice"?
As the paddleboat clears Opal, Egan uses the opportunity to get used to rowing his canoe, and the language of the river. He goes about 60' in front of the boat, and investigates suspicious areas from time to time relaying back his findings to the pilot. He caries a long pole for sounding, and a weighted line, in addition to his long double bladed paddle. Whisperwing flies low above the water, skimming it now and then hoping for a tasty morsel, and returning to the canoe every now and then to share a treat.
"Perhaps it will ease your mind a bit that I'm part of this crew. Names Egan Coyle, and I've been serving as a guide on this river for years. Know it like the back of my hand. If it's OK with you I'll tie one of my canoes to the stern, and use if for scouting from time to time"?
Egan is certainly willing to go along. Just look for Whisperwing in the sky, and follow him to the young ranger. He'll be eager for a trip upriver through the jungle.
Egan continues to stay outside enjoying the weather, and his practice with Whisperwing. He'll be ready to join the party wherever they decide to go.
I can't seem to locate my Hero Lab file for Egan, so I'm going to have to recreate, so might be the weekend before I'm leveled up. Can still post however, just won't have the changes in place yet.
Egan, glad to be back on firm ground is in no mood to mingle with people at the moment. He is happy to sit in a quite area close to the tavern, and watch Whisperwing wheel about, diving for mice real and imaginary. If history repeats itself, the rest of the group will find adventure soon enough, so he check the doorway from time to time to see if they are leaving or staying.
Sorry. Eagan was out hunting with Whisperwing. Let's get out of this trifling City and go back to the Jungle!!!!!
Egan will once again trail one of his longboats behind the ship. Whisperwing senses the tension on board, and spends much of his time sitting on the trailing craft, keeping watch. Egan just tries to stay out of the way, until they reach the safety of land once again.
Egan whistles for Whisperwing to come to him, and prepares to follow the others.
"I'm pretty good with rowboats, but know little about harnessing the winds".
"This way. I think she gets it".
"Whisperwing is smart, but I don't know if she's that smart. Perhaps it would be better to have someone take to the rooftops and scout ahead. Whisper wing can warn of danger". Egan calls Whisperwing down, and tries to get her to pick a safe path, instead of seeking out the enemies. Handle Animal.
"We better do something fast. Whisperwing has spotted a large group of men gathering several blocks away".
Egan is eager to move out as well. He sends Whisperwing skyward, and ahead to scout out any danger. Perception
Egan moves on with the others, alert as usual, and watches as the corpses are searched. "Can any detect the presence of magic among these items"?
Egan rejoins his companions in the exploration. He had turned aside for the moment, wanting no part of the questioning and murder of the man. Though he knows the villain deserved it, he still found it distasteful. He leaves Whisper Wing outside to keep watch.
Egan smoothly sends another sharp, pointy gift the mages way. Bow
Egan takes aim and releases another arrow at the wizard. Bow
Woo! Hoo!
Egan still sneaking around over here.
Egan drops to one knee and aims his bow at the mage whom has suddenly placed his hands upon his ears. Bow
Egan picks out the ugliest sharkman and sends an arrow his way. Bow
Perception Egan nocks an arrow, and nods a firm yes at the party. His eyes set in resolve.
Perception
Egan follows, bow at ready to take out any targets.
Egan takes 10 for a 22 on Stealth. He takes aim with Arvela, and looses an arrow. Longbow of Hunting +1 bow, and precise shot.
Egan leaps from the shadows, and brings his trusty Quarterstaff around to strike at the guards ear. QStaff, Flat footed
Yuck! Trade show all this week, but should be able to post most evenings at least once. If not don't let me hold you up. Should be back to full force by the Weekend.
Getting the others attention, Egan points to where the guards are, then moves forward. Stealth
Egan approaches keeping an eye out for any guards, or watchmen. He sends Whisperwing aloft to do the same. Perception
"Well you're lucky. You've got natural grace and awareness of where you are. I've got a bit from my elven side, but most of it comes from long hours of having to be quiet in the Jungle to keep from becoming somethings lunch". He follows Magnus back appreciating the man's natural grace. He decides to let Whisperwing continue his vigil.
Egan moves up silently behind Magnus, ready to grab him if he flinches at his sudden arrival. "Looks like the others are on their way back".
Egan quickly heads up to the room and opens a window stepping out on the roof where Whisperwing awaits. He whispers to the bird, and sends him off to trail the two wanderers from above. (guard). He then settles into a comfortable (For him anyway) nook, ties himself off in case of nightmares or worse, and awaits development.
Perception. "I'm in". "The roof should be accessible from there, and I'm itching to sleep under the stars".
