Janek "Trap-Tinker" Frarrson's page

Janek has full trapfinding for magical traps and uses Wisdom for Perception, Disable Device and Spells so is good at them. He isn't sneaky like a rogue, but can handle the trap side.

He can also bring minor healing via his sorcerer bloodline power, his high heal check and later UMD.

Yeah Janek is quite different to most sorcerers and can fill the trap finder role too. I'm more than happy to co-ordinate spells with another caster to cover different spell roles too.

That is wisdom to casting correct, if so then it would not count as a party hinderance.

However your application will need to show you have the Wildblooded as well as Seeker Archtype.

Correct and updated. PFS#132871.

Does a 5 Cha sorcerer count? He can sling spells and find and remove traps. He was an application for another PbP and I'll make some small adjustments to fit RoW

Yep, still here checking in.

At the miners hand signal from Varren, Janek slings off his backpack and digs out a small hunk of chalk and passes it over with a slightly apologetic nod as if he should have already had it at hand.

Janek ponders for a moment before looking from the entrance to see if there is any sign of the missing guards or passage of others. "Kurag, this might be more tracking to help find a save place." He observes out loud.

With the heavy armored form leading the way Janek will follow behind to see if further traps or hindrances lay ahead. "While I wouldn't mind exploring here further, we do have missing guards to find. We should make a point to return if the way here is clear forward."

Janek takes a step back and with an unsteady breath exhales. "Ware the statue, the magic upon it seems to be a trap. Triggered by touch if I am correct. We should perhaps just go around as the previous group did or I could attempt to disarm it. This tomb seems well warded,.."

Shaking his head Janek responds. "No I do not understand what is exactly here, I will have a closer look at the statue to see if anything dangerous is there although. Although Perhaps we should follow the guards that came before."

Go to the statue and do a perception check searching it closer.

Pointing at the statue then the southern wall Janek warns. "Magic is here. Perhaps it is best to understand it before proceeding.". He then continues to study the points.

Knowledge Arcana or Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Pondering for a moment Janek utters a simple cantrip allowing him to detect magic. Looking around the room to see if anything unusual appears now before his altered sight.

Did you want to make all such rolls tower rolls and we just state our bonus? e.g. Check:Knowledge Arcana +6

Janek looks about the room, stepping aside to let others see clearly. "Well, this place at least looks proper, but mayhaps there is further hidden here. The boots back there show that others have managed to travel at least this far and that we are on the right track." Looking at the room from where they stand he looks along the carvings on the northern wall. "Does anyone see anything strange in the depictions of the gods? he wonders aloud.

Looks to his fellow dwarves assembled, before prompting. "Varren, do you wish to lead on?"

Janek looks around uneasily was the group reforms, turning to Varren he nods foward "I think that we should also treat each door here with suspicion, if you give me a pause at each portal I will my best to ensure are safety from mechanisms at least."

No problems. "Tower" rolls do indeed make for a better game. Also I assume Janek hasn't found anything.

Janek stands up from examining the floor beyond. "They seem clear of danger, but I believe following the pattern Jalnara has identified would still be wise. I'll proceed along that line in case one of the further tiles is of dangerous."

He then moves into the room following the DROSKAR pattern searching ahead of himself.

Janek nods at the comment of the name and takes the opportunity of the concentration of detect magic to look if the floor are pressure plates both what may be the safe path of the name and carefully to each side of it.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 14
Perception: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 16
Perception: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 16

Janek follows quickly after Varren so as to not be left behind. Peering past the larger form of the warrior he says. "I can follow behind and try to hear any others moving around or spot some hazard. I will be ready to retreat further if needed in a larger fight."

Janek will go along in the middle as people want.

Janek looks around at the armored forms around him and at his own sturdy explorers clothes and runs his hand through his beard. Looking up at the taller warriors he says. "While if we reach a section that may hold mechanisms or the the like I will examine the way first. But perhaps someone that is protected may be wiser for the front if things that have already caused four good dwarven guards to disappear are on the loose in here. Also I have a small cantrip of communication so if we send forth a scout they can talk to me via a whisper." He then steps back ceding the discussion to the rest of the group.

Janek stands and nods again towards Hrothgar. "I take it that the tomb is not a great enough distance from here to require provisions? He questions knowing the extant some of dwarven tunnels extending beneath the city. "The tomb isn't near an entrance to the Darklands is it?" He asks with some hesitancy in his voice.

Turning to the party of his elders Janek states to show what worth he might bring. "I carry tools ready now for an expedition where I can attempt to bypass mechanisms or other such defenses if expected. Also my arcane skills can help disarm and capture. Provisions would be all I require if the journey is longer."

Janek nods solemnly a concerned look growing over his face as he hears the short tale of woe. "This is a matter of worry and concern to the city. I am proud to be called to help aid Janderhoff in any small way I can. Robbers bring a bad name to any who can use some simple tools." Pausing, he realizes that he might be starting off on a tangent. Janek uncomfortably adjusts the warhammer on his belt and settles back again.

A short and pudgy dwarf, Janek enters wearing his thick work clothes which are covered with various tools for repair or modification. His face showing that he is still young despite having silvery tones to his hair and beard.
With a slightly apprehensive expression on his face he returns the greeting of Hrothgar with a slight bow and a stammered "Thank you...?". He looks at the other new faces seeming to contemplate how the were introduced and attired, but sits down in the offered seat not sure whether to speak up yet or not.

Janek is a bit socially clueless and tends to focus on things and magic more than people, this makes him an odd one out in his merchant family. He takes pride in fixing things and setting things right, as part of the group he may not fit in straight away but will likely see the party as something that will fall under his need to help and keep whole.

Janek's spells tend to be of control, his skills give him full trap finding and his holy bloodline will give him some ability to aid on buffing/healing to a minor level.

I'm in Australia but tend to be on the internet most of the day and able to post daily. Ive been playing RPGs since the early 80s and quite a bit of Pathfinder over the last year or so.

Kurag, if it makes it easier for your build Janek has disable, perception and trap finding.

Thanks for the invite. Looking forward to adventuring through with you all.

We are doing in character introductions in the gameplay once we start?

I have done some updates and tweaks to a Janderhoff starting area. All information under profile as before.

I'd like to submit Janek the trap tinker. An emypereal sorcerer with seeker archetype. Brings magic and trap finding.

Information in profile. I am online most of the and able to post quite often. I am in one other PbP which is my first one and thus I am still somewhat new, but having playing RPGs a long time and I know PF pretty well.

A Female Halfling brings you a Dwarven Ale, "I have not seen you around before. Name's Cham. That'll be two silvers. Beds are 4 silvers for the night." The Dwarven Ale brought in by Ragnir Redblade is the finest of its kind, hearty with a slight fruity flavor.

If you could give your character an icon or token it would be appreciated.

Janek stretches his legs under the table as his statue, short for a dwarf, made most human sized furniture uncomfortable. But the large mug of fine ale holds his attention as he takes a long draft from it.

My thanks Tap-Mistress Cham. He says while pushing a half dozen silvers procured from his money pouch across the table. I am but newly arrived, seeking to ply my wares for repair or restoration. If nothing else to explore here and increase my learnings. With another long drink he sighs with some contentment.

Seeing the room with with hubbub of many friendly folk agreeable to his eyes. Janek pushes of his bulk against the table as he stands and proposes a toast to the room at large.

To the fine establishment. To the fine proprietress. To the fine selection of ales. To the town of Trunau. May all stand long and proud.

With a final long drink of the ale he brushes a hand over his beard and reseats himself, rather than acquire more attention, but feeling he has given proper thanks for the hospitality.

Janek after wandering the town to get the lay of the land, sees the crowds entering the establishment and decides to join them.

Waving for Cham's attention. A good solid dwarven ale if you have it fresh tapped. I need to wash away some of the travel dust.

Looking around he finds a free seat and takes in the friendly air with many agreeable faces. Sighing he takes a load off his feet with the familiar sound of his tinkers tools jangling.

Janek wanders the streets of Trunau, idly rubbing a polished steel beard ring while looking over the sights of this new town. He is accompanied by the soft jangle of the tinkers tools on his belt while his other hand still rests upon the the top of the warhammer his father gave him for his coming of age. The dangers of the Hold of Belkzen still fresh on his mind from travelling to this oasis of civilization. Waiting to see if he hears a call as if from the tales of "Hey, you look like a trustworthy fellow!".

Here is my character more complete under the profile.

More about me: I have been playing RPGs for decades and have played a lot of Pathfinder in particular in the last year. I haven't played a message board game for a long time and am not sure on the customs/expectations completely. I am on the internet daily and well able to post each day.
