me too, little to no internet access until Monday :(

will save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Shaking off whatever magical effect the goblin attempted, Geoff steps forward and swings with all of his might.

att vs GW 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

damage 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Seeing Soth take a serious hit from an arrow, Geoff decides to make himself the biggest threat by moving into the goblin's midst and attacking the chanting goblin.

Att vs GW 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
damage 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Seeing Darian beset by multiple goblins and heeding Soth_Loren's warning, Geoff moves quickly around the greased area and attacks one of the goblins.

att vs G4 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

damage 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Geoff moves forward and as soon as he can see he heads for one of the goblins.

Sorry, was very busy yesterday and today. Geoff double moves to P-7 and draws his sword.

oblivious as usual, Geoff responds, "Where? I don't see anything."

With a casual flick, Geoff slings the blood off of his blade and then sheathes it with a dramatic flourish.
"It was nothing, I am just happy we could have such a wonderful song to accompany our fight." He says to Zandu as he smiles and bows to Zenova. The casual and flippant stance is somewhat ruined though by Geoff's sudden wince as the wound in his side pains him during the bow.

btw, my AC is 18, not 22 (cross posted again)

Seeing the owlbear attack Darian, Geoff move s up to attack.
With blood seeping from the gash to his side, Geoff winces as he laughs,
"Hits hard, doesn't he."
Geoff then delivers a hard slice to the creature.

attack vs owlbear 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
damage 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Geoff waits for the Owlbear to get a little closer.

Round 3, Init. 22

Geoff moves up quickly to aid his companions, but also keeps an eye out for the other beast.

Acrobatics to avoid AoO 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
attack vs Owlbear 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
modifiers (just in case). Normal +8, Power Attack (-1), bless (+1), song (+1)
damage 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

EDIT: Removed fighting defensively as I confused this character with another [this one does not have Crane Style :) ]

Round 2, Init. 22

Geoff moves up to Rogar (F9) and assumes a defensive posture.
"Big bugger, isn't he?" Geoff whispers with a smile to Rogar as he draws even with him.

uh...you guys are next (except for the two NPCs, everyone else has gone)..

Round 1, Init. 22

Geoff vaults from his horse and draws his sword in one smooth motion. He then steps forward in a defensive stance.

Geoff rides up from behind Soth-Loren and claps him on the shoulder.
"How, my friend?" Geoff says with a wide grin.
"Why the normal way I presume. Stick the pointy end in! Finally, something to do!"

Geoff makes a nuisance of himself by constantly pestering Terra with..."Hey, what's that you're studying?" and "What does that symbol mean?".... as he keeps trying to read over her shoulder... :)

I'll stand with Terra then.

I am good with any watch, but one of the responsible group memebers should make the list :)

Geoff laughs, "Soth, my friend, I do not think Terra was being quite so literal. Perhaps she was being just a little sarcastic."

With more time among the caravan, Geoff's uncharacteristic sullenness disapates. By the end of the second day he is more himself and becomes exicitable over the more dangerous surroundings, as they promise more immenent mayhem.

Geoff fidgets during the harrowing. He looks decidely uncomfortable.
"Bah! Fates, destiny, whatever, I put no stock in any of that!" Geoff says gruffly as he pats his sword, almost as if to reasure himself. "I make my own way and do not need any reason for what happens, it just happens."
He stomps from the room. Darian is somewhat surprised as this is definitely uncharacteristic behaviour from Geoff.

"One issue we also have to consider is protecting the noncombatants in the caravan." Geoff looks to the caravan leader."What defensive arrangements do you have to help protect against that? Maybe we can concentrate them in one or two of the wagons so a small group can keep the goblins from them while the rest of us can concentrate on killing them."

"I like the idea of offering a big target, that way we get more of the little buggers. Of course, as Terra said, that also runs the risk of just detering an attack."

Geoff comes in looking somewhat pale and holding his stomach.
"What did I miss?" He asks with a grimace.
"Evidently, the trail rations do not agree with me."

Sorry about the absence, a combination of work, computer issues and hectic schedule. Will be back on regularly again.

Geoff smiles at Zenovia and whispers to his companions, " Well...maybe they aren't ALL thieves and cutthroats."

"Wanderers, hah! Thieves and cutthroats more like. Don't trust them at all!" Geoff says in a disgusted tone.

Geoff is Varisian and speaks the language.

Yes, definitely want to stop at the Lucky Monkey

"Hah! If you could call that a fight! Those stupid guards only got in the way and let the thief escape."
Geoff exclaims as he rubs the knot on his head from the guards cudgel.
"I like the idea of hunting the goblins. At least they can't be mistaken for innocent bystanders and I definitely could use the money." Geoff adds with a smile.

"Bounties and rewards? After that fiasco at the other place, I could use some of those."Geoff responds as his interest is piqued by the information.

I'm good with that, I just assumed everyone was slowed down by the holiday weekends.

If they let us leave, I'll leave

"Come on Darian, they aren't worth our time and I'm tired of this place already. Look, the girls are even gone."

Geoff calms down somewhat (he's not good at staying angry).
"Hey! I let your man hit me and didn't kill him or run away. I was after that guy who was escaping. If my friends or I were attempting to rob this place do think I would have stayed?"

"But Darian, I thought the 'civilized people' thing was the second choice." Geoff says as he places his hand on the hilt of his sword and then graces the others with an innocent smile.

Fuming, Geoff slams his sword back into its sheath.
"You insufferable oafs! Your stupidity has allowed one of them to escape. At least the leader is still here!" Geoff points to the woman on the stage.
"Maybe, if you aren't complete incompetents, you might get some information from her."

You fool! He is one of the thieves!" Geoff shouts at the bouncer. "If you hit me again, I'll let him escape and cut the hand that holds that club off!"
I will move away from the guard and see if he AoOs me.

acrobatics (for crowd) 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 drat! can't catch the guy!

Alanes, you can't use an AoO for standing up from prone to trip as the opponent is still condidered prone for that AoO (thats why you get the +4 bonus). They are considered standing after the AoO.

Geoff jumps off the stage and moves to the man attempting to flee. He smacks him in the head with the flat of his sword.

acrobatics 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

attack w/nonlethal & PA 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
confirm crit 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 darn!
damage 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"Not so fast! Give up now and you might live."

that should put me in N8

Geoff blinks as his vision returns. Drawing his sword he growls' "Oh, someone is gonna pay now!"
He then moves to the dais where apparently Darrian is fighting some people.

acrobatics to move through crowd 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

I noticed you said (2 of 2) for my blindness. Does that mean I can see in round 3?

"umm... Terra, I'm sorta blinded at the moment. Just let me know if any of them get next to me."

Geoff places his hand on the hilt of his sword. He will wait for someone to try and attack him,
"If any of you are still near and can see, help direct me against anyone that comes near." Geoff says to his companions.

will save 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

"What?!!?....."

perception 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

"It's just a means to an end. It wasn't about the money, but a chance to get one of the girls."Geoff says with a smile. He gladly accepts the tankard and drinks deeply.

Flush with his success, but disappointed by the small return, Geoff ups the stakes to 50 GP.....

prof:gambler 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7

"Bah! This is a ridiculous game anyway. I need a drink." Geoff says as he storms off to the bar.

Geoff can not restrain himself and immediately heads for a table. He makes his first wager of 10 GP.

1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16

He smiles as his obvious skill (he is definitely not known for his wisdom) makes him a little money. Never one to quit while he's ahead, he goes for more.

Darian, you know from past experiences that Geoff won't quit until he loses all his money or gets into a fight :)

can we make the profession check untrained?

Geoff is a straight up melee combatant. My AC will be relatively high so I do not need as much support fom healing and such and I can be fairly durable.

"Ah! Look, gambling and girls! See Darian, how much trouble could I possibly get in? It is completely innocent fun!"
Geoff almost runs ahead to the tavern.
