Hanud The Wanderer's page

hank you for running this Aerondor. It was a fun AP, and, despite my fumbling about at the end there, I appreciate the full chronicle. Thank you all for your patience with me.

All of you were a blast to game with, and I hope to game with you again in the future. As for me, I will be quiet on PFS for a bit, Hanud needs some time to think and I need some time to deal with RL.

Hanud takes the attack the one in front of him.

attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"Git down ye fowl monster!" He screams at the Shadow Lodge Agent.

Okay, round 1 is double moving, second round is charging!

attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21
damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Hanud's voice moves from a growl to a roar as he reaches the Shadow Lodge agent.

Round 1

Hanud runs as fast as he can behind the others, wielding his axe and shield, not bothering with the ranged threats.

1 square=10 feet... that's a long run for Hanud... If the scale is off, he'll advance 4 more squares to his right.

I am back! Waiting on the posting of others, but I'll be posting Hanud's actions tomorrow late morning/early afternoon.

Hanud isn't one for poetry. He appreciates it, but speaks better than he comes up with poems.

As a note, I am dicey until Wednesday. Tomorrow and Tuesday evening I will be completely away from a computer (traveling for one of my children's doctor's appointment). Then I should be back. That potion of Remove Disease took a couple days to take effect Grigori.

Hanud smiles.

"I hail from Five Kings Mountains, coming to the Pathfinder society due to me interest in learning of ancient things. While I was but a wee pup, learning the ways of proper archaeology, me former master was struck down in devil-touched Cheliax, while I was on an errand in ancient Osiron."

He takes a breath for effect

"I voewed no one would ever be enslaved or harmed over finding out our collective past, and I would battle those who would choose to hide it from the world."

perform: Oratory, aid another Darius... to my horror: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Hanud looks to Grigori.

"I dinnae what is going on, but I hope they mean us peace. There are many of them."

Apologies for silence. I have been very ill since Yesterday. I peeked at the post when Zimti was to post. Sorry to have gotten in the way of the story.

Hoping to be back to normal tomorrow.

Stampede?

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Hanud raises an eyebrow to Darius and Grigori's conversation, but he wisely keeps his mouth shut for once, although he is terribly distracted by the thought of Darius playing with kittens.

Let's move across the ravine as quickly as possible. Hugging the sides of the mountains, we dinnae how likely a landslide is 'ere.

With that, Hanud will begin to get across the ravine. He will watch for any traps having to do with the stone, or any other stone problems (i.e. landslide possible footfalls).

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 +2 for stone work
Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

"Aye. But the skin could fetch a good price. This shan't take too long, given his skill with a blade and flaying the living..." Hanud smiles as he speaks with Ozak.

"It's a skill we've had to employ too many times recently, Ozak."

Hanud follows Ozak's and Jazmine's caution along the path. He chuckles at Giggles as the giant lizard plays in the snow, being keenly distracted by that sight in and of itself.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Sorry all for disappearing this week. Guests @ the house and added work with all the kids home for spring break.

Hanud prepares for the numbing cold outside, despite the warmth of the cave.

Perception (pictures post): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Hanud grins at Darius' comment for once.

"Agreed!" Hanud shouts as he draws his waraxe to try to chop one of the blasted monsters off of Jazmine.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

I'm so sorry, Grigori.

I pray that you're family is doing as well as can be expected.

Take care.

Forced March DC 10: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Forced March DC 12: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

As Jazmine looks to our "guest," Hanud is the last to walk out the cave entrance. He ensures that the young lad is not following them, and he walks away from him.

"It will be very unpleasant soon." He says as he huffs and puffs, trying to keep up with the rest of the party.

As we are going to be fatigued at the end or during the second hour, we will continue going until we find shelter, but the nonlethal would be gone by morning, as would the fatigue... although magical healing would also eliminate the fatigue, as the rules state that: "Eliminating the nonlethal damage also eliminates the fatigue." So, we should be good with a charge (or two) from a wand or using a potion if needed.

Also, once evening hits, when he took the prior potion of Endure Elements, he will drink his last one.

"Lad, yer dancin' around like a peacock. I dinnae which is worse, yer flirtin, yer struttin', or talking to this imaginary creature you call 'Dungeon Master.'"

Apologies for this week. Next week is my kids' spring break AND I have family visiting, so I am on extra dad time detail, I will likely only get 3 posts in next week.

GM: I took a potion of Endure Elements the prior evening, not during the day (fortitude for that), Hanud should be good until this evening since it's a 24-hour spell.

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

If Grigori translates, Hanud looks to the others and says. "Make sure the weapons are out of reach. I say we untie the lad and shoo him away. We aren't murderers, we defend ourselves. I believe that our predecessors have likely caused this issue. I dinnae that we should show them any mercy."

Hanud nods at Grigori. "I dinnae like it, lad. But, yer right. We dinnae want a prisoner, we want to appear to be somewhat more helpful."

Agreed, Grigori. Perhaps nonlethal? Knock them out?

By evening, Hanud is ready to stop resisting the cold. He drinks a potion of Endure Elements to allow him rest for this evening.

"I'll be happy to take a night watch, given I can see in the dark. This place is likely teeming with unpleasant things at some point in the day.... or night."

knowledge: Geography for natural creatures: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
knowledge: Dungeoneering for unnatural creatures that could come out of caves & such: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

And failure occurs.

"Aye. I'll lead the way, young ones. I'll be able to defend meself if there's any problems in the path ahead. Ozak, would ye kindly watch me back nearer, while the rest of ye, prepare with ranged weapons. Zimti, please don't whack me in the back of the head with yer sticks."

Hanud takes point, walking at a "brisk" pace for himself, while keeping his eyes open for trouble.

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Hanud walks back to the others, taking the man running away with typical dwarven indignance. "Lad, I hope yer ancestors weren't so ungrateful." He mutters as he returns to the Pathfinders.

Walking back at the end of Ozak's comment, Hanud replies "They're probably set up in clans, with strongly defended borders. I dinnae believe he will be a threat, but, if he brings friends later, we may be needin' some prayers. Let's be off and get ourselves back on track. Grigori, you all set with last rites here? Proper burials are somethign we dinnae have time fer."

"Act." Hanud begins following the man, no weapon drawn, but shield held on his arm.

Hanud makes enough noise (for sure under any circumstances) to encourage the young Kellid to look back and see him both cross the line and see to it that he is not in the mood to argue.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
He still has his cold weather outfit. He'll stick with that temporarily at least.

"Nay, Grigori, not unless the lad can speak Taldane, Dwarven, or Goblin."

"I hope not, lass. This type of thing... with the coins bein' left, tells us this danger isn't of the world. Coin would've been kept by men, many monsters, and even dragons if the tales be true."

Ozak: It's a Watchmen reference. It's a bit of a spoiler if you hadn't read the series or seen the movies, but, suffice to say the character Rorschach's "face" appears in his own blood in the snow at one point.

survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Hanud looks over the bodies, hoping against hope that there is at least one survivor... although he is certainly not optimistic about the bloody carnage. He stops, muttering a short prayer to Torag each time he passes a body.

"I think we be better off missin' the fun here, Darius. This doesn't look right."

@Ozak: Rorschach, is that you?

Performance art with blood?! Hey now, we're not in Cheliax!

Hanud looks at Jazmine, sort of awestruck at her quick thinking and moving to assist Ozak.

As he assists Ozak to his feet. "Thank ye, lass. Ye truly are a talented one."

Missed the sneak attack didn't count (not flat-footed). That's not good. We need to get Ozak back up. Flank with Hanud or Grigori and we'll be good.

I think we may have angered it quite a bit among the three of us. Wow.

Updated profile to Banded mail.

Only 13 damage on this thing?! We have some DR to deal with... wow.

Well, the warm food is likely healthier than the not warm food.

GM:

Knowledge: Geography: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Hoping to follow the map closely with this and speed our journey.

"Darius, whiel I agree that the challenge is a good one. I don't believe it will help us in our current task. Perhaps after we've done what we came to do, yes. Until then, let us trust in your enteraining personality to face the shadow lodge.

Grigori is a womanizer... I think that counts as a misfit in some places :P

Hanud gets to play the straight-laced dwarf. I have fun with that.

Hanud is fully leveled. I considered upgrading the armor... really considered it. Unfortunately, I am saving for a better, masterwork armor. I'm hoping that doesn't bite me in the next scenario.

Hanud blinks for a moment.

"Darius, my boy, you certainly are a piece of work. At least you know you were touched... Not certain that you meant it the same way I did, but touched nonethless."

As he turns from darius, he catches Grigori's nodding. His usual glum demeanor breaks for but a moment, and he smirks knowingly to Grigori in agreement.

Darius, you are insane. Amusing, offensive, and a few other compliments as well.

Hanud goes to Grigori, whispering so that Darius cannot hear.

"I fail to see what thumb screws will do to help poor Darius, Grigori. Besides, that's outlawed in several nations anymore. Well, not Galt... but not much is outlawed there..."

As the silly comment is said, a thought crosses Hanud's mind. Turning back to Darius, he asks

Darius, might ye be from Galt? Did ye witness anything terrible in yer childhood, or were ye born 'Touched'?"

Hanud asks this genuinely of Darius.

And I expect Darius to take light of or make fun of Hanud for this inquiry.

"Darius, you are... something. We need to have a priest look at you."

Hanud smiles and shakes his head.

Hanud looks to the others. "I think that we've had enough excitement fer the day. Perhaps, just perhaps, we should find out who did this exactly, and then work to make sure it dinnae happen again."

Hanud will continue along, provided everyone doesn't mind (life is clearing up nicely).

Hanud will be leveling after this scenario, and I've got to count bolts spent.

"Ah'm not doin as well as ye, ye might as well take mine!"

Thank you all for your patience, kind thoughts, and prayers. It's been a very rough week for me & mine. Things seem to be calming down.

There's a long story to this, but that's for another place. I'm glad to be back and stepping into the game again. :)

Hanud is Back!

Hanud cranks back and attempts to shoot the blasted flying lizard again.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Damage, if hits: 1d8 ⇒ 1

"What kind of cowardly thing are ye?" He shouts as the dragon keeps strafing the Pathfinders.

Thank you all for your kindness. Grigori: I am sorry about your mother and I hope she gets well and stops having to make these unpleasant... excursions soon.

Update: Complications mean I'm it for me and my kids... Unknown recovery time at the moment. You deserve to know. This is the first I've even stopped to look at Paizo this week.

I appreciate everyone's patience with me :(

All my games are getting this post:

Life keeps getting in my way here. My wife had a procedure today... And we will be heading to the ER tonight, unfortunately. It's been fun, but I have no way of posting in the current level of sanity in my house. I plan on returning to play later this week.

Again, I am sorry for all the delays these past couple of weeks. life has hit me hard recently.

Specific to this game:
As much as I like this group, I don't want to feel like I am burdening you all with my slowness recently. I'll push through this game, and I'd love to continue (especially since Hanud will be level 2!), but I also realize that posting this week especially will be difficult.
