Holdrus Rippor's page

Hanging with Shenker. Still need to level.

The bones of the demolished skeletons begin to vibrate softly, disrupting the sand around them into tiny concentric semi-circles.

Kank Sh*t!!! It's gonna blow! Run!!! *Holdrus moves 30' back from the downed undead. He readies an action to attack anything that approaches him that is a foe.*

"Right."

Holdrus drops the chest and lashes out at the closest undead with a knee and an elbow -1d20 5=23 knee, 1d3 3=4 damage, 1d20 5=16 elbow, 1d3 3=4 damage- and takes up a wide stance with his hands rigid and extended like twin cobras' heads before him.

Hey DM, Did this get registered into my first round attack?

"Right."
Holdrus drops the chest and lashes out at the closest undead with a knee and an elbow -1d20 5=23 knee, 1d3 3=4 damage, 1d20 5=16 elbow, 1d3 3=4 damage- and takes up a wide stance with his hands rigid and extended like twin cobras' heads before him.

Grab the other end of this, Shenker. What the hell am I lugging around some noble s##~head's luggage for?! F!~* him! You better have a good reason for this, Shenky.

To be frank (or Mike, as the case may be), I’m amazed it took you this long. I’m assuming you ducked in after Radik then.

No grapple check required, muahahaha.

Yeah, I kinda followed along, I guess. Holdrus is about at the end of his rope with the undead situation in town also....

FOUL DEAD B$~!!!!! *Holdrus knocks the box from her dead hand and tosses the deceased b~$&# out into the sandstorm.*
1d20 6=25, 1d20 7=14
There is a touch attack and grapple check if needed, let me know what else you need me to roll for this.

She just gave me idea, that well we dumped the elf into. We could hop in there to get below ground level. It's not ideal but we could hold out there if we had to.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Gathering up the maul, and a few other weapons, Holdrus looks at Aso "we would do well to get below ground. This storm doesn't seem like anything less will hold off it's wrath. Climb little friend. We need haste."
Holdrus tries to think of a safe place to weather the storm.

So much for that security deposit....

Yes, I winged a mechanic for taking a dump on an object.....don't judge me!

It's a knife Aso, it can't fly. If it could've it would've by now. Go ahead and pinch a loaf on it. I bet you a silver that you can't cover the entire hilt with it.
not to DM or anything but I would say you need about 6" of 'cover material' to get the hilt covered. Roll 1d10 for size and add +1 for the great meal of our com padre from earlier.....If you beat 6 I'll give you my silver piece.

Go for it friend. I could use the amusement of hearing the knife cry in indignation.

Aso is going to crap on the dagger. Is anyone going to stop him?

Sure, it's puerile, but it's also in character.

Holdrus smiles. "Be careful or you'll get Metal up your ass!"

Holdrus stays behind with the weapons of power.

Alright, I lost track of most of what we have been doing since we left the bathhouse. I am lost. Anyone care to give me a quick breakdown?

After the bathhouse, we retreated to Tik's only to find that the tavern had been burned down, the Kreen gladiator encased in the melted walls of the Hive-in-Progress. An older gladiator named Larcos approached us out of the investigating Templars' earshot, suggesting we meet him at this "Iz'Ztal?" bar to learn about the sentient weapons; though we aren't supposed to bring any with us, or else he will not appear. So we sheltered for the morning at an inn and split up: one group going to the bar to meet our contact (so far: the Kreen, Zuko, Faindriac, Malaki) and the others to watch the weapons/do some legwork (Shenker and Radik).

Thanks, God that clears up a lot of confusion!

Holdrus will stay to guard the weapons, Scirocco will not be left behind.

Alright, I lost track of most of what we have been doing since we left the bathhouse. I am lost. Anyone care to give me a quick breakdown?

Dammit, the Maul is corrupted.... What should we do with it Scirocco?

I don't think I offer the hammer to you, Radik. You assumed. You were wrong. If you think you have a good reason for wielding the hammer I am open to listening to it.
*mentally* Scirocco, is the hammer corrupted?*

Hey Zuko, what do you think about this big maul? Could you wield it? It seems like a good piece of metal for you.
Holdrus goes out also. I don't think Holdrus gave the Maul to Radik yet so maybe someone else would want to wield it. Holdrus is still looking for another weapon to wield in his off hand also, preferably metal.

Schenker does knife katas.

(It's karate stuff, for the uninitiated.)

Holdrus decides to join in with the forms, using Scirocco in one hand and tossing in various elbows, knees, punches, kicks, and chops.

Testing......cockaonce.......cockathrice.

Radik sleeps standing up, with both eyes open.

Let's all dress him like a hooker and tie his feet together while he sleeps, then we yell "Templars!!!" and watch the fun ensue!

No matter where you go, you’ll take a piece of Issiki with you. At least until the jerky runs out.

So far I've got Kha-Chik, Kirrish, and Zuko listed as resting full the full eight.

Holdrus doesn't partake in the meal and rests for 4 hours (or whatever Mul need to be fully rested). He seems to be lost in thought most of the night.

I agree. Top floor is not a place for people to be unless they have a purpose. It also should give us some time to detect people coming up to see us if we post guards, which we should.

Faindriac rolls his eyes at the violent antics of Aso and Radik. Laurel and Hardy indeed,... On crystal meth!

"I would think our best choices would be either the Dirt Naps, or the Inn Between. Personally, while it might be more difficult to secure privacy, I think the Inn Between sounds more, affable."

I agree, the Inn Between is probably for the best.

I don’t like the idea of splitting up, Holdrus, but that man was Larcos. He used to be a leader in our organization, before being brainwashed by our enemies. If he’s a free agent again, we could really use someone like him.

My blade says that the man was Larcos and that he was a leader in their organization *What organization, Scirocco?* and that we could use his knowledge and/or ability.

Holdrus grabs any un-grabbed weaponry, including the Maul, and high-tails it for the rear exit.
"You keep waiting for the ladies to make up your mind, Radik, me and the maul will head this way...."

Do we have all the weapons? If so gather them up. Radik, I warn you. You give me another dirty look and I'll tear it off your face. If you wish to wield the maul just say so and stop acting as a jackel trying to steal a kill. The posturing is ridiculous.

Scirocco, what do you sense of these new weapons? The Maul? The Kreen weapon? The crown? All the rest? Do you detect any others in the pools?

Holdrus keeps digging out weapons if there are any to be found.

Holdrus starts frantically digging through the dirt to get to the buried weapons below.

Holdrus was actually blocking off the melted hole entryway. He moved across in the beginning of the fight to prevent escape from that way.

Holdrus will continue to block the opening, to prevent escape of these people. If anyone is or gets close enough to him he will attack.
"Come meet Death, Kank-suckers!"

Not casting Color Spray....;P

Found it Fain..

NICE writeup! Now it seems to me that I'm now standing next to a pile of people who were all trying to grapple me a moment ago. Seems to me that the are just waiting for me to zap them! Now who am I to argue with that?!? This rounds actions,...

Faindriac spends a brief moment brushing himself off, and giving the pile of his would-be tacklers a disdainful look. Sparing an extra moment to admire MalaKi's handiwork.

'THAT was FUN! Let's go get some Shir'rik oil and do it again!'

'Really Cair, How you choose to amuse yourself is entirely up to you. But kindly stop attempting to drag me down to your level. Now. These must be subdued before they can attempt bodily harm upon me again. And I wish to keep them alive, for information of course, so,... Ah, This should do it.'

Faindriac takes a step back from the pile of attackers that seem to still think he is under there somewhere, subtly flicks a bit of sand in the air, and holds up Cair' D'Niaf. A beam of light leaps from the Psicrystal, turning into a shimmering rainbow beam as it crosses the sand. The colored light plays across the bodies of his attackers and anyone else that happens to be on the other side of them, and illuminates Faindriac's face in a glimmer that makes his sardonic grin look positively evil.

5' step.or move if safe, to where I can get my attackers and hopefully any others close by withOUT hitting my teammates! (I'll see if I can find the last posted map and give you an actual position)

Color spray, WILL save vs. DC15 or see below,...

It's Pitch Dark!

Holdrus will continue to block the opening, to prevent escape of these people. If anyone is or gets close enough to him he will attack.
"Come meet Death, Kank-suckers!"

I'm using the metaphysical claw benificiary and since there's only 15 feet to move, unless my sense of scale is off, I can't really charge her, so I didn't add the bonus.

You must move at least 10' to charge. That's all. So I believe if you got a straight line you can charge.

Initiative: +3. I assume we're using party initiative.

Also, how many daggers are there in total? What are the stats?

Click on the ladies, I believe they are regular daggers with the special abilities listed in each's profile. +1 returning daggers of vemon I believe. And I think you have 3 of them.

Initiative 25 for Holdrus-
Holdrus' body flares with a deep red fire which ripples across his body for a moment before coalescing in his hands. He then moves to block the hole in wall so none can escape.
Standard action, activate Offensive Prescience. Move Action to block the exit.
"None shall escape from here! Your actions have sealed your fates and you shall pay with your lives!"
*Ready Scirocco? We need to kill them quickly so we can save your brethren.*

My Dada was a dwarf and he taught me to make weapons....and you call yourself a dwarf?!?!

No, I will destroy the weapon later. I have come to find the others though, where are they? There was some difficulties outside and I must be sure of their location. Quickly, before the invaders overtake us!
*Mentally* Follow my lead Scirocco and if you can mentally tell Gregale to follow that would be helpful. I won't allow any harm to come to you.*

Holdrus moves around the people and towards the hole in the wall, "Depends. Where are the weapons and what are you doing here?"
Are they wearing anything that would tip us off as to who they are?
*Scirocco, where are your friends?*

Do it then, Magicker. Mine sight can't pierce this darkness.

well; water; ie other currents; move through water and do not BECOME wet; water is only wet to us; not to itself

Faindriac nods at Zuko's request,

"Not as long as you don't mind me claiming one of these others. A vast improvement over our previous garments."

He nods again at the Thri-Kreen's wise words of preparation. But moves to examine the runes that Holdrus has found.

"Hm. Draconic. 'What can move through water and never become wet?'" His frown deepens.

"I detest riddles. Nonsense made up by lesser minds to make themselves feel intelligent. Nevertheless it would appear that we must play this game if we are to continue. And the first thing that comes to mind that can actually travel through water and emerge unaffected would be an air bubble."

The answer was 'sunlight'. Doors already open....

Holdrus Steps into the room prepared to grab whatever looks like a weapon-friend of Scirocco and any valuables.

An interesting riddle, So you think "air" is the answer? What about "oil"? It seems that they do not mix, but oil is already wet by it's own nature....hmmmmm. Scirocco, any insight?

Ignore post--just so this thread's dotted.

Ah! Werewoof!!!
