Grimn's page

*sigh* :'D Ah well. Not sure what to say about mercs(might be because I'm tired right now X-x; Its late here), but I post Grimn's reaction to the Reinhart

Grimn scratches his head "Why did he try leaping over the chasm? Am I unaware that horses can fly or something?"

I hate timezones. Anyway, is that guy the collapsed guy or someone who is still standing? Either way, at this rate I don't get chance to him someone with hammer :'D Ah well moved Grimn at least

Grimn double moves so he can see what is going on

"Hmm, even if we can't read these, someone at lodge can." Grimn ponders.

Grimn checks out the area S'theno pointed to before shrugging shoulders and moving on the other rooms.

Grimn says through window "You sure he isn't just in another room? I mean... Yeah, that seems bit unlikely, since otherwise why he would leave an illusion in room and not come to check it out when window was broken, but hey, you'll never know."

Grimn signs and walks to the broken window so he can hear the conversation inside. He doesn't go through the window.

"Err, Sorry about the window" he says to the gnome

..Then why are we breaking the windows and going through them?..(paladin and Arcanirium's office don't approve :P) That doesn't sound like waiting. Also they are beetles

In that case I just do the same with opening the door replacing five foot step <_< They are beetles. Not like they are going to open the door first

I guess I'll do the retroactive diplomacy throw even though its probably rather pointless by now xD

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Grimn steps back and tries to squash beetle with long hammer.

Long Hammer: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 3 = 10

Edit: Wait, is there space to five foot step to use reach weapon? Eh, whatever, I miss anyway

Is it too late to do gather information checks with diplomacy about Fimbrik? <_<

...Okay, missed my religion check earlier, so I do it now. Stupid school life

Religion on the epithets: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Whether check succeeds or not, Grimn is deep in thought because for whole walk to cemetery he was thinking about those epithets. When the man approaches he absentmindedly responds "Oh hello"

Bluffing Dren eh? xD

"Do those three names have epithets or anything like that?"

Wait, just because I'm little confused. Did we actually find the wine? Wasn't the bottle just a switch?

"Yeah, might as well report to Dreng and go to the wall at same time."

Grimn goes to speak to the oldman.

"So are you a pathfinder as well? You probably have stories to tell."

Grimn asks "Is this parcel related to your mission? Anything you can say about it?"

Eh, I guess if I'm still playing, I'm playing with Grimn this time. But I'm going to miss everything fun since I'm sleeping when you guys are playing and I'm still busy with school stuff..*sigh*

"I'm afraid that I don't know much about Society's history, I'm not really knowledgeable about world or the local history here. I don't even have particularly exciting story of how I decided to join the society... Met some pathfinders who told me stories about the society, helped them as guide, fought mushrooms trying to choke us to death with tendrils, became friends with them and as result I became interested in joining the society myself. You know, standard stuff, not particularly interesting story."

When Grimn hears Rin's offer, he shrugs and approaches Rin "Sure, why not. My name is Grimn. So what are you reading?"

I guess I could have rolled for knowledge local on whether Grimn knows what harrow reading is, but he doesn't have rank in local xD

Usually training dummies aren't THAT hard to hit.. Grimn shakes his head in frustration as he thinks about the dummy that almost beat a dozen of people by itself and heads back to inside.

"Why was the dummy attacking us anyway? Was that a test or a joke?" he mutters to himself.

No clue where I am on the map :'D I probably messed something up again

I need to find a better position... And avoid hitting anyone in the head accidentally

Grimn tries to get to position where nobody is in the way and tries to whack the dummy again

Dwarven Long Hammer: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 4) + 3 = 13

Heh, how appropriate I'm last on initiate :'D Whelp this is what I'm gonna do when its my turn. Gonna go to sleep after posting this

Grimn rushes out with his really large hammer to join the game of "Whack the dummy" "Sorry for being late, can't let you guys have all the fun!"

Dwarven Long hammer: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 <- Reach weapon
Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 = 6

Two handed damage was 1.5 the normal strength damage right? Checking I remember that right

Okay, is it now correct?

...BTW, what is SM short for?

Aww man gonna miss everything xD

Grimn checks out what is going on outside the tavern "...What the heck is going on here?" and joins the fray probably too late to do anything unless this dummy is truly the evil incarnate.

Huh, more dwarves? .-. Also, nice, you noticed I used Finnish for that xD

Grimn has been laying on the floor thinking about what led his life up to this point. When he realizes everyone is suddenly listening sounds from outside he stands up and asks "Huh? Did someone knock out the dummy?"

Oops, forgot armor check penalty xD So the result is actually 2 for climb check :'D Nice fail

Hmm, good point, does Grimn have enough energy after the marathon run from district to another district? Let's find out!

Grimn nods at people introducing themselves and replies to Lissa "Hah... I do have had 'lucky' day so far.. But if everyone else has suffered through it, it is only right I should have my part in it too."

Grimn steps towards the course and...

Constitution check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

I don't know the result of the above check yet, but assuming Grimn doesn't pass out right away (or if he does and hobbles towards the course anyway), here is the check for first obstacle xD Let's see if his con holds up!

The Cunningly Placed Bar Stool

Climb check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Oh gods, no more riddles... Finding this place was almost a riddle in itself!" Grimn sighs heavily. "Actually, I did eat breakfast at The Coin's Pig's Paunch."

"Though ironically, I don't think they served actual pork over there..." he mutters under his breath. "Still, thank you for asking."

Grimn freezes when he realizes he was spotted and makes his way to Markus while still trying to maintain low presence.

"Thank you. I'm Grimn. Nice to meet you as well." he says in rather stiff and obviously embarrassed manner and then starts looking around before continuing. "Err... Have I missed anything yet? Oh and pardon me, could I get an introductions for yer friends here?" Grimn winces little under his bucket helmet.

I'm not really familiar with English accents to be honest <_<; But I figured out that his accent should slip at times, whatever dwarven accent in common sounds like. Anyway, there are so many players here that I'm not sure who are included in this conversation x'D I guess at least Jillia and Lissa, and maybe Boris/Luthor/Varus as well?

Grimn had done diligent research on the Pig's Paunch and learned that tavern with that name was located in merchant's quarter district known as The Coins district. He arrived there early and waited... Unfortunately, real meeting place was The Wounded Wisp in Foreign Quarters. When he finally realized his error, he wasted another few hours on trying to find real location... Muttering dwarvish curses as he runs to the correct locations...

"Miksi tässä kaupungissa piti olla kaksi tavernaa johon se nimi viittasi?..."

When he finally arrives at Wounded Wisp, Grimn sees that there are quite many people there already and some type of game going on.

Maybe I can avoid the further embarrassment if I can get in without making a big number about it...

Without realizing that he isn't probably the only one who had trouble finding the right place(and that nobody would really care to take notice of him coming late), Grimn tries to avoid people noticing his sudden arrival. Despite the clunky scale mail and helmet. Stealth: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (10) - 3 = 7

Phew, I hope I did that right X-x; And yeah, figured out that this type of introduction would be funnier than just arriving late normally or having been there all along without participating in challenges xD

Well, umm, I probably still need to figure things out... Like what would be good surname(if any is needed) and whether Grundinnal is best fit for this paladin(I felt like Torag didn't work, but I don't know enough about the other ones either <_<;)... I also don't know much about dwarves, besides dwarf stereotypes I want to avoid, I haven't played them earlier.

Also, I took so long time that I'm not sure how to join gameplay discussion at this point X-x; Best that I can come up with is making the awkwardness I feel at joining conversation where lot of people have been having fun conversation for a long time already part of the character's intro xD (I know I'm imagining it, but I feel like I'm intruding by popping up on conversation in middle of it)

Anyway, Grimn is stonelord paladin who started out just as a regular stonemason. Until, for reasons beyond his understanding, his body started turning into stone. He got that under control when he reaffirmed his faith into the gods, but he hasn't been able to grow beard or hair ever since. Not that he minds being bald, there has been a lot of thing about dwarven culture that Grimn never got into. Like, he doesn't really drink much at all, he isn't that stubborn, etc. He has always been rather affable fellow and that didn't stop after he learned to fight.

Reason why he wants to join pathfinder society is rather simple: pathfinders seem to have rather good chance of running into people who need help. And he has some pathfinder friends who inspired him to join. During his service as a paladin he run into some pathfinders doing a mission and he offered to help them as guide. During that mission, he was inspired by their deeds(they were type of pathfinders who went beyond their mission in order to help people) and those pathfinders put good word about him forward. Thats pretty much it.

Now I need to figure out how to include avatars for pfs character aliases... And see if I can find bucket helmet one xD Another thing Grimn never understood is why so many dwarven warriors have helmets without faceplates so that their glorious beards are visible, he doesn't get why people wouldn't want to prevent their faces being stabbed.
