Eladrian's page

Etu steps in and helps Eladrian ge the Vault settled into a landing that gently bumps the Pathfinders. Looking about, he is entranced by the library and especially the magic globe.

As the team eventually filters out of the vault and back into the blistering desert air, he looks to his companions with a grin.
"It has been a pleasure, my friends. I hope to travel with you again in the future!!"

Thank you to all for a very good run. I wish I could have enjoyed more of it with you!!

Not sure what checks would be required to land this thing safely, but doing so would consume Eladrians attentions until complete.

As the Vault settles securely and safely to the ground, he turns back to the conversation with the bounty hunters.
"Lichdom?? I knew that the other creature up top had a valid argument. What can we do to help you??"

Eladrian finally catches up to the group and pops through the portal. He looks a bit green around the gills and clutches his stomach as he moves, muttering about never eating local food again and cursing street vendors very colorfully and in several languages. He lurches forwards and tries to take stock of the situation, catching the tail of the legal argument. With little patience for such things, he does his best to sneak around the edge of the conversation and meet up with Kramac as he pulls around the edge of the room.

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

[ooc]I have moved my token 30' south on the map. I am not sure what the turn order is or how far we are allowed to go at the moment, but Eladrian is moving for the beacon.

Thank you so much, GM!!

Thanks for the votes, guys. Just waiting on GM approval here, but I completely understand either way.

Ok guys, shit hit the fan in a real way, and I completely ditched you for much longer than what I intended to. For this I really apologize. I still have a few things percolating, but the majority of things are if not resolved then at least on a back burner for right now. I am still going through a few transitions, but I hope that the majority of the insanity is past. I will be striving my utmost to get back to my daily post rates.

GM Eddv/ IDMIYC: I understand that I have been absent for quite some time as far as the game is concerned. If you feel it necessary to dock me or even drop me from the scenario, I completely understand. Please just let me know how you wish to proceed with this. I will refrain from posting until I hear back from you.

Eladrian considers his words carefully as he turns back to the group. "I too think that Badu would be the easy choice, but I am very concerned with helping Saruna as well. Is there no way to get them to work together long enough to see both stories to their end?"

Thank yall for your concern. Things are settling down a bit around here, and I hope to be easing back into my games. I am not up to full posting just yet, but it will be improving.

Edit: Welcome Eddv!

Eladrian sits off to the side, watching the play of words back and forth between the two creatures and the Pathfinders. Finally, he joins in on the discussion through a translator.
"I too think that it seems you two are but two sides of the same coin. You desire to increase your knowledge as well as share what you know. We would be glad to assist in this, and once we are sure that no further danger lies ahead, there will be many scholars wishing to come here to learn at your feet."

Turning towards the sphinx, he continues. "And I too know your thirst for righting a personal injustice and seeking to redeem false pledges. You say that your former teacher went deeper into this place and then returned asking for your heart. Where did he go once you agreed?"

I apologize for my lack of posting or slowdown of late. These last two weeks have seen a great many things come up professionally, medically, and now legally. I will catch up and post as best as I can, but while dealing with health issues with the wife, I am also going through a professional transition from a job that I held for over 5 years and back into the medical field, as well as dealing with the legal system after a teacher at my son’s school not only battered him in the classroom multiple times but dragged him through the hallway by his neck. This might be considered a bit of oversharing by some, but I wanted you all to understand and I felt “Life is getting rough” was a bit too vague.
I will update as I can and will continue my games, but please understand if my pace temporarily slows. If I am a player and you need to bot me to maintain pace, please do so with my apologies. If you are in a game I am GM’ing, I have not and will not abandon you and I will update as I am able to.

Eladrian scrunches up his eyes as the things begin to babel at him. He shrugs, then turns expectantly towards the more mentally gifted members of the party. As he leans forward resting his arms on the haft of his ax, he raises an eyebrow in question.

Is that even a question? Lmao!

The Mephit tries to maneuver around Eladrian, but the half elf lifts his hammer and strikes out at it, trying to nail it into the ground.

AOO: 1d20 + 15 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 3 + 1 = 21
Dmg?: 2d6 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 8 + 3 = 16

I am adding my base+Sermon+Bless to the attack, and Sermon to the damage. I think those are the only bonuses in play right now..

Why are you only rolling +2 for your Will save? No matter; between the magic circle against Evil and Etu's Sermon, you make it.

I wasn't sure what modifiers were in effect and what was going on there. Thank you for adding in the appropriate modifiers there!

Either I am reading things wrong, or I may have gotten skipped somewhere to just now be coming up again... I take it my readied action never triggered either? I don't know.. I may be lost or something.

Hearing the sounds of battle coming from the other side of the cloud, Eladrian drops his bow and takes off in a sprint.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
+2 vs enchantment

Not sure what is going to happen with that second save but will post the rest of my turn just in case. If the fog doesn't prevent it,
I have marked my movement with an X on the map.

Coming out of the other side, Eladrian is surprised to find himself facing.. something! He immediately dives into a roll, trying to get through the door.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Eladrian stands there, stunned and useless as his companions take care of the fire elemental. As the beast falls at last, he sets his hammer beside him Free action drop and draws his bow. He quickly notches an arrow, waiting for whatever it is that has yet to show itself to appear.

Swift action for studied target on sight.
Readied attack for first sight: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 35
Dmg: 1d8 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 18
Modifiers:Base, Studied Target, Courage, Prayer

I also have trap sense, but that is it.

As I just vacated that spot, you are welcome to it! Got it taken care of!

What is north on the map then?

"Eladrian, shall you and I get a closer look at the wall?"
Assuming Eladrian is game, Montgomery moves to examine the illusory wall watching carefully for traps and creatures as he goes.

Sure I'm game! I moved our tokens for us.

Eladrian turns and nods wordlessly at the invite from Montgomery. Hefting his hammer at the ready he stalks forward alongside the dwarf. "This good for you?" he asks when they get closer to the wall.

Looking around the room, the crumbled statues along the niches in the eastern wall catch his eye as well. "I wonder what caused this damage without endangering the plants here.. and generally where there are plants, there are animals as well......"

Got you taken care of, Branson. If thats not a good spot for you, let me know.

"Ware! The place already gets tricksy.." Eladrian calls out, pointing the head of his hammer towards the far wall. "There's a hidden door. That wall's not solid stone like it looks. It must be some sort of magic hiding it."

It's loading fine for me.. then and now. Granted, you posted 2 hours ago and I have no idea what you might have fixed.. but its working now!

I am assuming we entered through the bottom of the map? This is where I placed my token. If this is incorrect, please place Eladrian's token near the entrance but in front of the group.

Eladrian eases up from his cushions and casually follows Tahonikepsu over to the other hall. An eyebrow quirks as the floor opens up, but it is the only indication of surprise or amusement from the half elf.. at least until he is suddenly standing next to an ancient freaking dragon!!!

He stumbles back, raising up his massive earthbreaker is reflex.. completely not considering how much of an epically bad idea that would be.. and nearly falls flat on his bum as the room twists and shifts and the dragon is suddenly gone.

Looking up to his companions with a rueful half grin, he quips "Well.. THAT was bloody well a first.."
He accepts a hand up and takes a moment to allow his heart to return to, oh I don't know.. a pulse somewhere below 300 beats per minute. Once he is sure that he is not going to fall over dead with a fit, he moves to lead the party down the stairs.

carefully, Eladrain moves into the underground garden, perplexed at the scenery. His eyes scan the darkest shadows looking all around the room. Low Light Vision

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33 + an additional 4 vs traps

That being the case, I will happily purchase it myself in town.. its something he should have had anyways!

Eladrian nods at the woman's response to his question. About what I expected I guess..

He leans back, cleaning his fingernails with his dagger while the rest of the intellectuals finish getting the information they need.

When its time to set out, he moves to the front of the group, keeping his eyes peeled and his footfalls softened.
Will roll perception and stealth when needed but I can scout ahead when we set out.

What have you got to sketch with?

Well crap. It seems that I don't have anything in my inventory like I thought I did. Any chance that I can retcon the purchase, or does someone have something that I can borrow for this?

Eladrian takes the offered seat, and bows as Tahonikepsu compliments them. Once the floor has been opened, he asks "With all due respect, we were told that there were many different physical threats as well. Could you tell us what creatures have stymied your efforts thus far?"

I do have a wand of CLW with 19 charges left if someone wants to take that and use it as they see fit!

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32
Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Nice.. lets hope that this is indicative of whats to come!!

Moving through the canyon, Eladrian stays to the outside of the group, moving along the flanks and the tail of the group. Unknown to their guides, his eagle eyes and bear trap memory allows him to transfer what he sees to a small scroll he keeps tucked in his beltpouch.

Ready to go!

Eladrian sits back, listening to the intellectual types research the situation and offers a drink from his flask to Kramac.

"Oh, I have no doubt there will be plenty of excitement!" he says. "I have explored several old tombs, and not one of them has been dull, to say the least!"

As the results are made public to everyone, he muses over the implications. "This one sounds like it may get pretty nasty, but it will be nice to have that extra information about the scarab sages!"

Eladrian accepts the varied scrolls with a nod of thanks, then studies his companions for a moment. "Here.. I am not versed in the magical arts, and do not know which of you would be best for these. Take your pick!"

Turning back to the Venture Captain, he continues. "Our thanks for this, sir. We will endeavor to make you proud."

Ready to set off when everyone else is!

K. Local: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Not having a clue about where they are going and who they are meeting, Eladrian keeps to himself through most of the explanation.

However, given the chance, he speaks up with more materiel concerns. "You say there are some pretty powerful creatures between here and there, and you have no idea what we may find below. Is there any gear or anything you would recommend for us to take or that might be useful?"

Sorry for the quiet. I had to make an emergency trip out of town. I will get a post up in gameplay tonight after work.

Eladrian nods cordially to the dwarf as he walks in and chooses a seat, then returns the greeting of the Ifrit. "Good day to you. Already we have an eclectic group forming. I wonder who else will be joining the party.."

A tall half elf strides into the room nonchalantly. He is well rested and cleaned up nicely, obviously he has been in the lodge for a little while now, but his worn and weathered gear bespeak of many missions and excursions under his notched and faded belt. Long dark hair flows over his collar to where it is gathered at the nape of his neck into a leather tube that is intricately worked and painted.

He carries a heavy warhammer with little apparent effort, and a well oiled bow stave peeks above the shoulder of his Mithral Kikko armor. he carefully chooses a chair with a good view of the door and sets his gear in a neat pile before sitting and relaxing for a moment.

If your character were in an animated movie, who would voice them (dead people are allowed, just so long as the sound of their voices is well-known)?: I don't watch too much tv or movies, but I have been an avid reader all of my life. I would like to think that I have modeled Eladrian after a mix of Tanis (DragonLance Chronicles) and perhaps a touch or Mel Gibson from Braveheart era. Think strong and quiet presence with a few well placed quips when you least expect them.

Eladrian here. Full info and first post will be up after a while!

Eladrian is in the middle of responding to Torean when the subtext between Nana and Rasamoro hits him like a ton of ugly. The half elf quickly grabs hold of the dwarfs baldric and flows along for the ride as they run for the nearest tavern to drink away the mental images that are now forever scared into their heads! Over his shoulder, he waves a hand at the others, and disappears around the corner.

Great playing with yall! I hope to see yall around the boards in the future. Nana: Although Eladrian is a bit put off, I think I would rather enjoy the RP that could come out of some of my other characters! You certainly have an interesting character there, and play it well!

I truly enjoy playing at your tables, Beckett. Take care and please be safe over there. I look forward to playing for you again as soon as you are able.. if nothing else, check in every once in a while at the Flaxseed and let us know things are well, won't you?

It has been great to play with all of you, (and good to see you again, Torean!) and hope I see yall around!

Good gaming to all!!

GM Beckett: I have played in many of your games, and never once felt rushed or cheated. You are a really good GM, and I enjoy your games immensely. Real life comes first, especially considering what you do. Take care, Be safe, and your fans will continue to line up for spots at your tables. Just saying..

Eladrian struggles forward through the thick growth, eyeing the creatures before him. He focuses his attention on the two Xill closest to him, studying their movements for weak points. As he does so, he pulls out his bow and takes quick aim at the nearest creature. Burgundy

Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 25
Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 15

Dmg?: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11
Dmg?: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10

I have been having computer troubles, and this is the first time I have been able to log in since this weekend on the work computers. I do apologize for this interruption. If I am a player, please bot me until I can establish a permanent connection, and if I am the GM, I will be back just as quickly as I can. I have made progress with the software, but will be tearing apart the hardware tonight

Oh Man!! Thank you! These are going to make my maps so much better! I never even considered that this was possible!

Eladrian pockets his chosen gem with a few words of thanks before heading through the door with the rest of the team.

GM: These effects are really awesome. Could you please PM me and let me know how you are doing that?! I would love to use that on my own maps.

Eladrian picks himself up off the floor once more as the strange creature is destroyed. "By the gods what in the nine hells was that?!?! Ok.. we need to get her and get out of here.. If there are "entire chambers" filled with creatures, who knows what may pop out at us next?!" Eladian is obviously quite upset at being used as a chew toy!

Wis: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

When the woman falls out of the plinth, Eladrian rushes over and helps her to sit up, then offers her his water skin. He listens, horrified, as she tells her tale before asking "We have defeated several of these creatures.. do you know how many there were? And would you have any idea how to control this thing?"

Even if I had UMD, I think it would me more of an INT check then UMD. I could be wrong though. I say go for it!

Eladrian looks over his team to make sure that everyone survived the assault in reasonable condition before seeing to his own wounds. As he begins to staunch the bleeding, he manages to hand his wand of healing off for someone to assist him with.

CLW: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 1, 5, 8) + 6 = 33

Once the golden glow of healing energies fade away, Eladrian hurries off to see what else lies in wait. He is busy picking up the coins, when suddenly he sees Remy stepping towards the hidden corner and right as he is about to call a warning, the man disappears! Eladrian is only slightly mollified by hearing Remy calling out from not too far away. Tentatively, he steps through the "portal" and finds himself surrounded by the strange writing and odd monoliths.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Linguistics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"I have no idea what all this writing and symbols mean, but I too see the little man trapped in the crystal. Shall we try the box or the plinth?" he asks, hefting his earth breaker.

Eladrian keeps the pressure up on the yellow tinged creature, stepping to the side so he can pin the creature between his allies and swinging his hammer as hard as he can. The satisfying crunch of impact reverberates up the haft and he gives the creature a dark smile full of teeth!

Attack: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 2 + 2 = 33
Dmg: 2d6 + 7 + 2 + 2d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) + 7 + 2 + (6, 1) + (3, 6) = 33
Main dmg, Studied Target, Vital Strike, Precision dmg

Eladrian starts as the creatures appear from out of nowhere, surrounding the team. Gritting his teeth, he steps forward to aid Torean. With a quick look at the creatures anatomy, he decides just where he is going to hit!

Attack: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 2 = 30
Dmg: 2d6 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 7 + (1, 3) = 17
Precision dmg if applicable for being grappled: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

Free: 5 ft step, Swift: Studied Target, Standard: Attack with Vital Strike

Eladrian keeps close to Torean as the group forges their way through this messy maze of mystery.. he is completely bewildered, but does not allow the unknowns to unhinge on him. He claps the dwarf on the shoulder, but its hard to tell if the gesture is one of support or needing support himself. "I have no clue my friend, but this is easily the weirdest adventure we have been on. It seems that at least if we are going insane, we will have good company!"

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 Plus an additional 4 vs traps

Knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 2 +4 Dungeon, +8 Local. Not sure what applies.
