Halungalom Shortstack's page

For a few days now I've been kind of wondering what happened to the "once a day" posing rate.

OK, can we row to shore now?

Halungalom and Bodyguard are always ready for a scrap against some longshanks, I just might need to redo Bodyguard's introduction.

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Halungalom looks from the necklace around Quarick neck to the symbol on the boat. "Don't you know, you're wearing a similar symbol around your neck?"
As Halungalom steps into the rowboat he notices that no one seems to be heading to the oars. With a sigh he exclaims "Well if no one else thinks their strong enough to row us to shore I'll do it myself. Hey, Bodyguard, can I get a little help over here." There's a slight pause, during which Halungalom looks around at the confused faces of his companions, and then, as if coming out from within Halungalom, what appears to be steel armor begins to assemble around the small Gnome. Piece-by-piece in puts itself together until the Gnome is no more, replaced by a very muscular human sized being clad in what appears to be steel plate mail armor. Then, in a voice much lower and maybe even demonic in nature, Halungalom says "This is Bodyguard, my eidolon companion." with that he sits down, grabs the oars and starts to row the party toward the beach.
Strength Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

It may have been a good thing Halungalom was unable to have breakfast because on that darn boat nothing was staying down. "How can anyone enjoy this." Halungalom thinks as he throws up over the railing of the ship for what seems to be the hundredth time. "I think that was my lunch from 2 weeks ago just now.
When the lookout declares that their destination was almost upon them Halungalom declared "It's about...BLAHHH...time. as he throws up one last time over the side.

Might as well get this thing moving.
Halungalom glances over Virgil noticing that the longshanks who will be going on this excursion have congregated round him. Turning back to Quarick he says "I think we're getting left out of some planning for this little endeavor. Then, turning his back to the longshanks, a frown covers his face as he states "I guess we should join them." Putting a mask of plesentry across his face, turns back to his future "compatriots", rises, and walks over to join the others, hoping Quarick is right behind him.
Arriving at the table he introduces himself. "Then name's Halungalom Shortstack, I'm not really a sailor. I've read about some great ones throughout history, but I'm not one myself, so this will be no experience. Now ifor we happen to get into a scuffle while we're out just point me at the enemy, I may not look it now, but I can hold my own in a pinch."

...and I was wondering where I fit in the longshanks categories.

If your taller than a Gnome or halfling than your average longshanks. Halungalom's feeling towards you would depend on your appearance, if you look like a human than he doesn't like/trust you, not that you know that at the moment, but if you look more like your jann parent he like/hate you any less then he does Quarick.

The way I saw it in my head Quarick and I are at the bar on one end of the room while Virgil is on the other and everyone else is somewhere in the middle. I'm also assuming other patrons are here either to enjoy the evening or for this job but back out before the final roll call. As for our conversation Halungalom is racist but he tries not to affend since he really doesn't want to get stabbed in the back. So, I can't speak for Quarick, he'd be speaking at a volume so that only Quarick can hear him.
This is how the scene is playing out in my head if anyone is seeing it differently let me know.

Sounds like we're all in agreement, so who's going to actually go buy and hold it. I advise not giving it to Halungalom because he might not always use it on certain characters.

There's no way I beat that Bluff so I'll just skip the roll and continue as if he failed.
Halungalom looks at his new friend without even a glimmer of surprise not his face.
"Well if you're looking for a criminal take your pick. We're surrounded by longshanks and you know they can't be trusted, but if I had to take a guess I'd say your best bet would be that guy." He points across the bar to Virgil. "Not only is he a longshanks but he's also part orc. Both are scum, but when you combine them everyone's screwed."
Sorry Virgil, Halungalom is just racest as hell.
After Quarick reveals his true reason for being here.
Halungalom knits his eyebrows "Save your lies for the longshanks. As for Mr. Johnson, he's a longshank so you can't trust for as far as I can throw him, but money is money."

I second that and make sure it has as many charges as we can afford.

Walking up to the Blind Elephant Halungalom Shortstack thinks to himself "Leaves to a longshanks to choose a shoddy place like this one hold a meeting. Longshanks are always so shadey." Stepping inside Halungalom scans the crowd sizing up everyone until his eyes stop on a half-orc sitting at the bar, Virgil, and a snear crosses is mouth. "The only creature out can't trust more than a human spirit and orc and that fellow is both in one. I'm staying away from him so I don't end up with that sword of his in my back." Moving to the other end of the room Halungalom continues to scan until he sees Quarick thinking "Now there's someone I can trust a fine, upstanding young Gnome." He then makes his way over and takes the eat next to Quarick. Extending his hand and as kind a smile so he can muster Halungalom introduces himself "Evening, the name's Halungalom, Halungalom Shortstack. Are you here for the job or just this looovely atmosphere?" Halungalom continues to talk while enjoying eats his meal and downs his mead.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
While Mr. Johnson is delivering his pitch Halungalom gets this feeling that something just isn't right, but this is a longshanks he's dealing with and their always lying about something out he just dropped it. When it came to his turn to accept or leave her had to remind himself "You need the money. Your not doing this for the stupid longshanks, your doing it for the money." So with a half snear he nods his head in acceptance of his fate.

Happy to be here, I've been wanting to use this guy for way to long.

"You can never trust a longshanks." Halungalom thinks to himself while looking at the want-ads posted on the wall of his local tavern. You see until recently Halungalom was a member of the Pathfinder Society and he was actually starting to enjoy it. And then the longshanks entered his lab. Halungalom still can't believe it. They fired him for the "mistreatment of an eidolon," just because the connection he has with his eidolon isn't "normal." You see Halungalom's eidolon doesn't follow him around like a pet, instead Halungalom joins with Bodyguard, his eidolon, to become one being who is both smart and strong. Now according to the Society this is an abuse of the eidolon’s natural nature and grounds for termination.

Now that you know the past let's return to the present. Now without the backing of the Pathfinder Society Halungalom has to find his own work and his own money to survive. So when he saw a flyer posted about easy money and all he would have to do is retrieve a little box he thought to himself "Ice can't pass this up, but if some darn longshank thinks to try and swindle me then they better pray to whatever deity they can find that I don't make it back."
I swear he is a good guy, but one of the 4 humanoids subtypes he has a hatred towards are humans so I felt he needed an explanation on why hated humans but would still work with/for them.
Crunch is in his profile.

The more I looked at this profile I'm noticing that I had edited it to be a traditional Summoner before giving up on it. I'm now changing it back and will submit his back story as soon as he's ready.

Quoth if you will accept a Synthesis Summoner I will write up his 2 paragraph background and reason for wanting to join the quest.

What are your feelings about a Summoner (Synthesist). I created this alias as a PFS player before I found out that this archetype was banned and he's yet to find a game since.

I would like to submit Halungalom for consideration. He is a freshly built Gnome Summoner (Synthesist). I have yet to complete a background on him as of yet, but I'm thinking his personality is going to be that he considers his eidolon more as a tool then as a companion. He designed to be either both an arcane spell support, a front lint brawler, or both at the same time if we need it.
This will be Halungalom's first game, but not mine. I have one other PFS legal character, Zarunkumar, who is a level 3 Hedge Witch and is currently in another game. If you look at my aliases it appears I have many more but until recently I didn't know about the alias category for characters and so every character I made for every game got registered even if it wasn't legal. So his PFS # in 94822-16.
As for posting rate I am a consistent minimum one post a day kind of player, but even when I'm not posting I'm checking for new post about 7-8 times a day (my wife says I'm obsessed, but I think she's just jealous). I have been playing Pathfinder PBP for about a year now, but before that I had about 10 years of tabletop experience, mostly D&D but also a little Star Wars RPG where our GM kept forgetting that there were only 2 of us playing and kept killing us and bringing us back just to kill us again.
If there is anything else you need just let me know and I'll get back to you.
