Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Oops, I missed this update

Gornak tries to bolster himself with Empty Mind.

Will save: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22

"You...you can't force me to leave, buster!" Gornak grunts as he resists the compulsion to leave.

Gornak keeps leading the way, hammer at the ready.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Okay, let's keep going," Gornak suggests as he leads the way towards the next set of stairs.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak heads up the stairs, hammer in hand.

Do those crates block line of sight?


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak gets ready to lead the way up the stairs once the others are done looking around in the basement. He manifests Force Screen.

(AC 27)

Gornak's eyes widen as he sees the guy fall into the flume and he winces as he feels the sting of the man's magic touch.

He steps back and swings again, this time not bothering to be gentle (since it didn't work the last time):

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 183d6 + 21 ⇒ (2, 5, 2) + 21 = 30

He also activates his magic necklace.

1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 temporary hp


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Gornak steps back and bashes with his hammer, trying to do nonlethal damage for now.

1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 13 - 4 = 293d6 + 21 ⇒ (5, 2, 3) + 21 = 31

confirm? 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 13 - 4 = 163d6 + 21 ⇒ (1, 1, 1) + 21 = 24

That may have been more lethal than he intended...


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Uh...yeah. Let's go talk to the boss," Gornak agrees uncertainly.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"You bet!" Gornak hefts his giant hammer and shoulders his way through the small door.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak prepares by manifesting a 5 pp Metaphysical Weapon and a 4 pp Thicken Skin.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"If there are murderers at the sawmill, we should try to stop them," Gornak agrees.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

I will be on vacation until January 29. See you then!


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak grimaces, but says nothing and lets Brother Vaclav do his thing.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Sounds good to me. Ask away, Brother!"


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Yeah, maybe they know where this sawmill is, and why people are getting killed."


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Sounds good to me. Just try to hurry!" Gornak laughs nervously.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Did we finish searching the topmost floor? If not, Gornak continues with the plan to do so.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak stands up and attacks "Aldern" with his hook. (AC 23)

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 232d8 + 19 ⇒ (6, 2) + 19 = 27


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak moves to where Aylmora was, drops his hammer and draws his hook.

"Sorry, Aldern, but I guess we're going to have to kill you for the third time."


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

1d20 ⇒ 20


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"I don't believe what I'm seeing!" Gornak blurts out. He rubs his eyes, hoping the odd image will go away.

attempt to disbelieve


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak listens at the door and then opens it.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak keeps climbing stairs until he thinks he has reached the top floor.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Yup, let's start at the top and work our way down!" Gornak says as he continues up the stairs, checking for surprises along the way.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

I'll be on vacation until Oct 30, so I may not post very often until then.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak suggests: "Let's start with the top and work our way down."

He starts climbing the stairs, keeping an eye out for traps.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak also keeps an ear open for any movement.

take 10 for 21


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Follow me, guys!" Gornak says with forced cheerfulness as he opens the front door with the key.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak prepares for trouble by manifesting a 5 pp Metaphysical Weapon on his hammer and a 4 pp Thicken Skin on himself, as well as putting on his weird, woody astral skin.

AC 23


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Spellcraft 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

"Gee, it must be handy to have a spell that lets you know about all different kinds of monsters."

What was the specific cause of death again?


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Happy 3rd anniversary to this game!


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak gulps and fingers his Sihedron necklace as he looks at the dead man. "Oh my...what a way to go."

So does it look like he was slashed/stabbed to death?


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"I trust you, Brother Vaclav. Talking to a priest about cultists just sounds like common sense to me, too!"


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

I'll be on vacation from Sep 4 to Sep 11 with limited internet access. See you when I get back!


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak will try to aid Aylmora.

1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

However, his monstrous appearance and awkward demeanor aren't doing anyone any favours!


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"I guess..." Gornak responds reluctantly, "You guys know more about stuff than me. I don't know what I'd do if someone died because we didn't warn the guards soon enough, though."


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"First things first," Gornak suggests, "Shouldn't we tell the town guard that there's a gang of murderers on the loose?"


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Uh yeah, that's me. Gornak." Gornak adds helpfully.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Well, let's try to get some shut-eye and move on in the morning, without horses."


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

After a minute, Gornak comes charging back, puffing like a teakettle.

"Is everyone all right? Where did that horrible cry come from?"

He sees the horses ripped apart and he blanches. "Oh no...that could have been one of you! And to think I turned my tail and fled..."


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak takes off running in the opposite direction.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Are we in our armor or our jammy-jams?

Gornak uses Empty Mind: Will save 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

Gornak goes mad with fear, drops his weapon and manifests Defy Gravity, hoping to escape through the air.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Are we still in our armor, or were we awakened out of a sound sleep?

Gornak charges his big hammer with deadly psionic energy in case a fight is a-brewin'. He also toughens up his skin.

Manifest 5 pp Metaphysical Weapon and 4 pp Toughen Skin.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"What the heck is that thing?" Gornak blurts out when he hears the eerie sound.


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

So how are we getting to Magnimar? Is there a stagecoach or boat that goes there or should we walk or buy horses or something else I haven't mentioned?


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Haw!" Gornak chortles, "maybe it'd fool you if you had one eye, on a moonless night, and you were drunk! But I'm gonna have to work on it before I can make it really look like something convincing."


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

"Thanks, pa! I don't want you to ever be ashamed of me. I'll be back as quick as I can, you hear?"

----

When Gornak finishes his shopping and crafting and meets up with his friends later, he says:

"Guess what? I learned a new trick using ecto...things and metaphysical, uh, energy. Don't laugh, though!"

In the blink of an eye, Gornak is covered from helmet to boots in a kind of film that's coloured in a sort of wood grain pattern.

"I know it looks funny, but it helps me move faster, hit harder and see in the dark! I guess I could change the colour, but I kind of like trees."


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

Gornak's purchases:

-Belt of Strength +2 (4k gp)
-Masterwork artisan's tools (for weaponsmithing and armorsmithing, 110 gp)
-materials for armor +1 (500 gp)
-fixing up the Junker's Edge (500 gp)


Male Half-giant Psychic warrior 5/Aegis (trailblazer) 1

After buying some equipment, Gornak heads back to the Junker's Edge to find his father.

"Pa, I hate to tell you this, but I'm going away for a while. There's something bad going down in Magnimar, and I gotta go with my friends to tell the folks there what's going on. Don't worry -- I'll have some people from Sandpoint come down and help out around the place and maybe fix it up a bit. I'll send you a message from there when I have time; I hope we won't be gone more'n a week or two. You be good while I'm gone!"

He spends a whole day fixing up his armor and experimenting with new psychic abilities before he's ready to go.
