Gerad's page

Sorry to hear about your real life problems, but they have to have priority. Best wishes to you for things returning to normal.

"It would seem like a good idea to hunt down the others, then. Without destroying them, I suppose, though I do not know how practical that is. Perhaps younger ones are less dangerous." Gerad looks hopefully at Berrakra.

"An unusually large insect, possibly a hive queen, though I do not know the species." Gerad moves back towards the group.

"A tough creature, it seems." Gerad muses on the strange beasts he's seen in the area, while sending more arrows in it's direction.

Gerad moves swiftly round the dune, studying the creature. A weak point, there, I think. He tests his theory with an arrow.

Sorry. Been dealing with my father, who is not well.

Gerad, initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11. G14 for location.

Gerad inspects the area.

Nature 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Dungeoneering 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

"It is not far from our route."

Bank it. We can perhaps trade it in for a favour later.

"Let us hope they will use it sensibly." Gerad has been listening, as his companions talk of things he doesn't really understand. But water, that he knows the value of.

Gerad was on 14/26 hit points
First round, 9/26, saving throw 1d20 ⇒ 12
Spend 3 surges to return to full hit points. 4/7 remaining.

Forgot my saving throw 1d20 ⇒ 5. Karma says it failed.

Gerad winces at the cold, but tries to work his way round to flank the serpents before striking again at the nearest.

Shift to B3
Minor, hunter's quarry against Serpent in B4
Twin Strike against the serpent in B4
Longsword, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 vs AC, damage 1d8 ⇒ 6
Dagger, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 vs AC, damage 1d4 ⇒ 3
Hunter's quarry damage if either hits, 1d6 ⇒ 3

Gerad steps over towards one of the serpents, swinging his sword and stabbing with his dagger.

Move to C4
Minor: Hunter's Quarry on Serpent 1
Standard: Twin Strike on Serpent 1
Longsword, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 vs AC, 1d8 ⇒ 8 damage
Dagger, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 vs AC, 1d4 ⇒ 4 damage
If either hits, 1d6 ⇒ 4 extra Quarry damage

Triple post. Which one should we use? 1 and 3 are misses on Gerad, 2 is a hit.

Gerad would have started to move round the well when Carric fell in.

D4
Initiative 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Gerad pauses, then waves to the others. "It's empty. but someone has been here." He tries to determine where the tracks lead from and to.

Perception for tracks 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Gerad puts a finger to his lips. As quietly as he can, he moves down the steps till he can see into the chamber.

Stealth check 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Gerad follows, watching the walls and floor warily.

Perception, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Edit: "!It's a wall!"
Dungeoneering, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Gerad moves over to help Th'Kal.

Aid Another, Athletics 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

@Th'Kal I believe it was indicated we could get regeared by the caravan as they needed us for guards

Even if that's the case, I'd still suggest looting the bodies. They might be quite happy with us if we provide gear that they can sell in exchange for re-equipment.

Gerad moves over to Gorad and attempts clumsily to heal him.

Heal check 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Edit: Well, that worked. Not. I think in future Gerad will stick to looting corpses and watching for survivors returning.

Gerad looks at his broken bowstring and mutters something under his breath. He draws a weapon and moves in to attack in melee.

Minor: draw longsword
Standard, WAsteland Fury, shift 2 squares to H11 and attack, 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 19 vs AC, damage 1d8 + 3 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 3 + (2) = 15 including quarry damage

Gerad concentrates, trying to identify the least protected parts of the defiler, and releases two arrows towards him.

Hunter's Quarry on the necromancer.
Twin Strike, attack 1 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 vs AC, damage 1d10 ⇒ 10
attack 2 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 vs AC, damage 1d10 ⇒ 3
Bonus damage if either attack hits, 1d6 ⇒ 6

Gerad focuses on the undead scout, trying to finish it off.

Twin Strike
Attack 1, 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 vs AC, damage 1d10 ⇒ 7
Attack 2, 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 vs AC, damage 1d10 ⇒ 8
Bonus quarry damage 1d6 ⇒ 3

"Is he invisible?" Gerad moves around the fringe of the battle, loosing arrows at the undead.

Move to G10
Minor, Hunter's Quarry on the undead scout
Standard, Twin strike the scout
Attack 1 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 vs AC, 1d10 ⇒ 7 damage
Attack 2 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 vs AC, 1d10 ⇒ 4 damage
Extra damage on first hit if either do, 1d6 ⇒ 6
Edit: Critical hit, so the first attack does 16 damage including hunter's quarry bonus

@everyone; or at least get any corpses away from that particular area

Gerad shrugs. If we let them go to tell others how fearsome we are, they'll stay away. But still. He bounds after the two withdrawing elves, omnly slowing down to release one more arrow at the neraby one.

Move to F8
Standard: Fading Strike against the scout, attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 vs AC, damage 1d10 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + (6) = 16; shift to F6

Apologies. I didn't realise it was me.

Gerad looks at the creature that erupted from the sand. "Haven't seen one of those before." Mentally, he shrugs. Deal with the elves first, that if we have to. He takes aim, and releases more arrows at the nearest elf.

Minor, Hunter's Quarry on J12
Standard, Twin Strike on J12
Attack 1, 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25, damage 1d10 ⇒ 4
Attack 2, 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16, damage 1d10 ⇒ 9
If either attack hits, 1d6 ⇒ 4 extra damage

Gerad looks around. Something's odd.. Shrugging, he narrows his eyes at the nearest elf, and sends some arrows at him.

Minor, Perception check, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Minor, Hunter's Quarry, J12

Gerad would likely be working as a hunter, acquiring game to supplement the caravans food supplies. He's not yet familiar enough with the region to act as a guide, though he's working on it. As for why a Tableland nomad would be wandering around this area, a templar has an appointment with one or several of his arrows. They just don't know it yet.

Gerad scowls slightly. "I know my way around the tablelands. This area I don't know so well, but I'm a quick study. If you want someone to shoot a bow or stab a blade, I can do both as well as most soft city dwellers."

Gerad is my character submission. I'm happy to wait and see who else puts one in, since he's a bit rough at the moment.
