Male Human Ranger 3

Yeah, sorry but I have kind of begun to schedule my Fridays, so I think I am out as well. Sorry.


Male Human Ranger 3

There is a high likelihood I will not be able to attend friday night due to work (out of state & after hours hardware upgrades). We've delayed a couple times already so please either run this without me or have someone run Gates in my stead. I'd hate for everyone to miss a game on my account.


Male Human Ranger 3

OK, really no updates to the thread all week. I think we are playing this Friday yes? Just wanted to make sure and see who will be there. I think it has been weeks since we have seen Az.


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates is a "G" with a yellow background, no need for anyone to shoot at him in all the confusion of G's. I'll assume Gates was somewhere near Nathaniel, since that's who he knows

Looking over, Gates sees the event too late to save the dog. His anger rises, he draws his bow and fires.

Initiative 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Shot one, targeting the goblin who killed the dog
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 121d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Shot two, same goblin, or the one to his right if the first is dead
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 231d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

These are rapid shot only, no deadly aim and no point blank shot (range).

Finally Gates scans the field for anymore goblins he hasn't noticed yet

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18


Male Human Ranger 3

I'm certainly sticking with Gates, and now I am back from my holiday travel.


Male Human Ranger 3

So did the druid have anything more for Gates? What was the Druids name?


Male Human Ranger 3

I dont actually have a character creator that will pump out a report like that, and I am afraid I don't have enough information about what you want to give you something useful for a character. I'm sure any of theirs will be good enough.

If you're interested in what *I* would want...

1) Brew Potion, Skill focus: Spellcraft (With human skill focus APG)
3) Craft Wonderous Item
5) Craft Arms/Armor
7) Craft Wand
8) Skill Focus UMD

I mean, if I'm going to create a non participating NPC... that's pretty much it. Possibly a wizard instead for the crafting focus/knowledge skills.


Male Human Ranger 3

Alright, then that leaves time for breakfast Gates begins looking around for something to eat, then kills time until the meeting.


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates walks out into the kitchen and looks around. Seeing Gwendal for the first time he stops and regards him, nods, then goes for the coffee.

Turning to Hymo he states I'll be headin' out for that druid in the woods this morning. Can the stable folks tell me where to find him?


Male Human Ranger 3

OK, I've lost track of what's going on. I think everyone is actually wrapping up dinner now but I wasn't sure so I didn't jump in. We can assume Gates had dinner alone lol.


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates cleans himself up as best he can and heads to the Dining Hall.


Male Human Ranger 3

Saturday? Is that to mean this Friday?


Male Human Ranger 3

Alright, can you tell me what time of day it is? I'd like to figure out what my options are for where to go.


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates puts his hat on and tips the brim at Hymo Then thank you for the hunt Hymo. I'll be heading out to the druid.

Assuming there is time left in the day, then Gates will make his way to the armory to gather the appropriate supplies.


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates will help return the deer to the academy, and see what other "work" is in store for him.


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates rises from his work and begins cleaning his hands

Well that explains a lot. If this woman is so hated, why is she allowed to call in Pathfinders with impunity? Should we not report this suspicion and halt the flow? Whatever she has planned obviously calls for more of us, and I'd hate to give her anything she wants.

With newly cleaned hands Gates reaches into his belt pouch and retrieves a bag, from which he produces chewing tobacco. He offers some to Hymo and then takes some for himself.

So what's with Sir Wolfram? You saved the world together for a living and kept up tension for all that time?


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates already has a point in craft (bows), I don't have an extra point to put in yet but I will eventually. I'd be interested in working on that. Also I just discovered this section of the campaign, so I'm with you here now too.


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates helps clean and tie the Stag. When the work is finished he hefts his end, ready to head back.

I'm Gates. How long have you been here at the Academy? I came to the area under orders to help Sandpoint out of its little mess and now I find myself wondering if I've done that or not. Do you know of the Lady who sent us to retrieve the candle? I did not like the reaction of her or her counterpart when we returned successful. It seemed to me they were clearly expecting failure, or a worse outcome of a sort. It is troubling.


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates pushes his body forward from his kneeling stance, forcing his bow arm ahead of him and drawing his bow in the process. He focuses his aim, the sounds of the forest slow down around him, his vision narrows, his own heartbeat throbs in his ears. The stags head lifts and turns its head off to the right. In the instant before time would have seemed to halt, his arrow lets slip of his grip and his senses snap back into life. He rises nearly to standing as he springs forth, already pulling another arrow from his quiver. Before the stag can register the events around it his second arrow is already away.

not sure if this is a surprise round or a full round. I'll roll a rapid shot/deadly aim/point blank shot. You can remove the second shot and the point blank if my round/range is off

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 71d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8


Male Human Ranger 3

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 Perception

Gates also tries to keep an eye on where his new instructor is.


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates nods at the figure and draws his bow, prepared for the hunt.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 tracking

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 stealth


Male Human Ranger 3

Gates looks around, obviously not excited to return to another "academy".

I'm not sure what good this is doing, but I'll bite. I'll be needing Aria. Also if you have no bowyer on site I can be passable at that too.


Male Human Ranger 3

(OOC: Sorry I just got the link here. Thanks to Vonzara for running this tonight!)


In my opinion, the best "blaster" is a magus. He can sustain his damage for the long haul, or he can nova. His staple spell is shocking grasp, and you'll be casting a whole lot of them with spell recall available to you.


Looking forward to it :-)


I ended up going with Grand Lodge I think, no chance of Gates wanting to support any sort of Chelaxian theme.


I've been swapping between my boarding pike and greataxe on my urban/invulnerable guy in this campaign.


I'm having trouble finding the faction traits, can anyone tell me where to find them?


roll20 looks absolutely awesome.


Answers:
*You are being offered a large sum of gold by an extremely rich noble to go and retrieve an artifact from a secure location. The location is a museum and the noble claims the artifact actually belongs to his family and he feels it belongs in his home not the museum. What is your response?

"You own it? Well that's horrible they're keeping it from you. I'll look into it and see what I can do!" I would then proceed to check out the back story of the item through third parties if possible, then talk to the curator about the origins of the item and how it came to him.

*Do you think looting crypts, ruins, and dungeons is stealing or more like Indiana Jones? Why?

Possession requires a possessor, those items no longer have an owner. All things must die eventually, and when they do we can't sanction everything they ever touched as sacred.

*A group of 3 Orcs have raided and captured a group of travelers. One of the hostages is rumored to be one of the King of Absalom children. How would you go about rescuing the hostages and making sure the King's child is not harmed.

Attack in the daytime when the orcs are least active. There's not much use negotiating with them as their intent is pretty clear, but if an opportunity to negotiate arises which will not jeapordize my element of surprise I am fine with it.


Ryuko, any interest in my ranger?


I'd love to run in this. I'd like to submit this ranger. I am sure I am missing information since I did it all by hand, if you're interested in having me I can take care of the rest immediately.


I just got done skyping a user into our campaign, and I've played via skype for all users before. I'd be interested in playing, but even if you don't have room for me I'd be glad to help you guys set up so you can play. The time works for me.
