I am good and would like to continue. It would be great to get back to a post a day from everyone, at least on weekdays. And its clear to me that we need to do something so that a round of combat does not take two weeks. Perhaps this will require group initiatives or botting some.
I am here. Would like a faster pace. I have not reason to break but am fine with that if it helps others.
With little room to maneuver Glor steps back and attacks the one in his face.
But I am reminded of the saying "Anyone who drives faster than me is a maniac. Anyone who drives slower is an idiot." I have one good friend who I think has gone too far in isolating. He lives alone and does not leave his house even monthly. He has not bought gas since this pandemic started. Better safe than sorry but he has given up a year of his life basically. I still visit family which require long drives. But no going inside restaurants to eat, certainly no bars, and I wear a mask even for drive throughs. When traveling I try to only stop a rest areas. In general I am for less government but it sure makes sense to have a lockdown everywhere all at the same time instead of random scattered lock downs.
Glor targets blue crawler with his blast of earth and stone.
Where I live I see too many people living like there is no virus. Large gatherings, stores open, and no masks (even bars and gyms). Even when stores have signs stating a mask requirement they do not enforce it. I'd guess that 80% of people are masking but that 20% stands out. I know one person who almost died. 3 weeks in the hospital. Lungs damaged. I work from home so I don't see it as much as you GM_Armok, but it's all over the news.
Glor turns and tries to take out the wounded flyer next to Adu.
Glor focuses on one of the incoming flyers and lets loose a blast of earth and stone.
Especially the "suit". There was no attempt to replicate the suit, which was a crime. It was way cool powered armor.
What this feels like Nice. :) Let me put a plug in for the book. Some much better than the movie.
Glor puffs on his cigar before targeting the Blue flier. Grit and gravel bind togehter into a sphere that blasts from his hands and blasts towards the flying ant. Unfortunately it flies wide. C
Keep us informed and get well soon!
Aye, I've got a decent range throwin dirt an rocks.get Get our range attackers behind a defensive line. Take out flyers first as they may not alert the others as quickly. Glor eyes the flying ants with intent. I can through up some walls that will give a little cover too.
I managed ta get bit. Glor notes as he wipes at his bloody side.
Only slightly wounded, Glor brushes himself off. His blade that appeared at his time of needs has vanished as if it never existed.
Too close to use a blast against the ant Glor concentrates and a crystal blade forms in his hand. He attacks.
Release me ya overgrown garden pest!
Ya all know where I be standin on the value of mines. It's my priority ta get that mine up and runnin.
I'm doin just fine and need little else fer now.
Glor puts a tough and and scarred hand on Burmhild's shoulder for a moment saying You've naut but done right by us thus far and I'll only be judging you by your deeds. I will stand with you against any what try ta do otherwise.
Glor raises his mug of ale as Goggeck finishes. To defeated foes my brother. I find them the best foes ta have. He says as he takes a long pull from the mug. Then turning full to Brunhild he adds I think you know I am Glor. My family name is Stonebeard and my clan hales from Taggort. We are miners and engineers o' the best sort. I'd be there still and be happy there were it not for me powers. Ya see I started manfestin earth powers at a young age got sent off to temple for confirmin it, and then and got me some proper trainin as a GeoKineticist. And without even askin me thoughts on the matter I got signed up for this here venture coz, well, "it'd be wrong ta waste such a gift." He says the last part as a quote he has heard too many times.
Glor was dour on the return, not choosing to return so soon but not willing to argue the point. But when greeted with cheers and the offer of ale he allows himself a brief smile. Returning is always good.
Seems that wyvern were doin us a favor after all. Glor notes.
Glor is seen in his down time staring at head sized rocks for a long time. Finally he seems satisfied when from out of one of the rocks a crystaline scorpion emerges from the stone and scampers over his hand and up his arm to perch on his shoulder. Ah, I knew you were in there somewhere little one. We shall be fast friends. These fine dwarves and gnomes about us here are friends, so, don't be stinging them or dragging off their gear in the night. he reaches up and pets the strange stone creature with a single thick finger.
Good with that. Though Glor would not mind clearing out the ants too.
Glor notes the belt and expresses interest Now here is an item I could be using. Who else might be interested in it?
Glor takes a 4th level of Geo Kineticist. Assuming average HP he gains a total of 10 hp. BAB goes to +3 and he gains a total of 4+2 (background) skills. Fort and Reflex saves both increase by 1. Hew gains a utility wild talent - I believe he will take Elemental Whispers and gain a familiar that he can form up as when needed. I'll have to think on the actual type. His DR increases to 2 and can be increased to up to 4 with burn.
Once his companions are secure and stable Glor begins to search the cavern. Its my hope that there is nothin more dangerous in this place. But I'm not gonna count on that. he says as he searches.
With vengeance in his heart Glor gathers and fires earth at the wyrm.
An I don't much care for Dragons neither. Glor curses as he lets fly more stone and earth. Goggeck be me brother-in-arms wyrm. You'll not harm him unanswered from me.
Bugbears? I hate bugbears! Glor says as he gathers earth and fires a shot at red. He will use Deadly Aim for -1 to hit buty +2 damage and his Dwarven Hatred Style kicks in for +2/+2.
After his shot he moves back to let others more freely attack.
Glor moves gracefully and quietly towards the entrance.
Glor looks longingly at the mine but nods. Aye, right is right.
This canno' stand. Vermin be crawling all over good ore. Its not right I say. Glor looks quite upset as he paces back and forth and points at the mine's entrance.
Glor squints in the bright light and sniffs deeply of the air.
Same. Working from home. But I currently have two homes. I am in Indiana where I will be full time by July. My other home is in Alabama and I hope to sell it soon, but cannot imagine houses will be selling well in all fo this self isolation. Indiana just issued an "Stay Home" order that goes into effect tonight. Sounds a lot like lockdown. We can go out to pharmacy and for food but that is it. And we can walk dogs, etc, but not in groups. I had planned to travel to Alabama Thursday to do things needed for the house there but it might not be allowed, and if allowed I am not sure I am allowed to drive back. Strange times.
Aye. Glor nods his strong agreement with his brother Goggeck.
Glor looks about with a critical but less than ideal eye. Sun's too dang bright. he quips. Prospector's Eye: Whenever exploring a hex, Glor can make a Profession (Miner) skill check to search for veins of metal ore or clusters of gems. The GM will determine the success of the search, what materials are discovered, and the value of the materials obtained based on the roll and environmental factors. Using the Prospector's Eye ability requires a full day of exploration.
Sorry for your loss Adu.
Aye, Glad I am that we did not have ta put that creature down. I'd bet a week's ration o' ale that it will bring fear and more ta any of our enemies in the area. Its like havin an ally in the sky, almost.
Things are returning to normal. Hard to not feel stress with so much going on. We are also about to list our house for sale, so doing time critical projects there and spending $$$ like crazy = Stress to me. lol
Glor scowls as he watches the huge avian circle. It does seem big 'nough ta carry a full grown dwarf off, it does. he gathers his element about his and prepares to fire at the creature should it come to close.
Sorry for slow posting. My daughter got married last Tuesday in Colorado and then my mother had a heart attack Friday. She is doing ok and is already back at home, but these events have eaten all my time. I am back and on a regular schedule again.
I'll be traveling starting Saturday for a week but I should be able to post some in that time.
