Seems I have to bow out as well, increasingly less time lately to post and read all the other posts before me. The game goes a little fast for me atm to keep up. I did enjoy the concept though, so good luck everyone in completing the missions and ridding the land of the dragon.
Jimeno looks aghast at Nacht's sudden spell of rage in killing the cultist. He hears the condemning of such actions from the others, at least the words in Latin. However he looks to himself what he would have done, quietly contemplating while the others debate. Would I have done the same? To kill on the field of battle or single combat is honourable I've been taught, to kill off the field of battle is not. Is this truly the way of all adventurers? I'm glad Akio is on my side as well as some of the others, but I won't kill anyone in that fashion... I won't...
Jimeno will stab at a cultist that tries to cast.
Jimeno double moves in the first round of combat, so he provides flanking to anyone attacking the last of the cultists.
"Il mio Dio! Essi sono disposti a sacrificare il bambino. Lasciarlo andare è ammazzare!" Latin/Italian:
"My God! They are about to sacrifice that child. Let it go you fiends!" Jimeno grips his lance tightly, waiting for the others to break formation and rescue the child.
Jimeno looks pleased as Manuel Fray cleanses the ghouls and then frowns as Paddy mentions using the baubles for drinking away the night. He then looks back to Manuel Fray with interest. Spanish: "You understand anything from these languages the others speak? Some of them sound similar to our native tongue, but I can't make heads or tails of it. Also what do you feel about our new companions, some looks quite fearsome, others more like opportunists."
Jimeno stabs at the next ghoul in front of him with his lance and tries to hold the line for any other of his allies to get through.
Jimeno stabs at the wounded ghoul with his lance, hoping to finish it off. Spanish:
"Die you monstrosity, in the name of St George I'll kill thee"
Jimeno approaches the ghouls with his lance held out, aiming to pierce them from a safer distance, from behind someone else preferably. This adventuring is new to me, it seems it's not for these other people. Best hang back for now, though if they need me up front I will do my best.
Spanish:
"Undead begone! We will fight you to your end!" Jimeno draws his lance from his back and holds it out in front of him.
And lastly an hispanic looking youth comes through the portal/altar, seeming quite baffled at the sudden transition from one catacomb to the next. Latin:
"Well I'll be... This is somewhat unexpected. Who are all you people and where are we exactly?" Jimeno looks somewhat flustered and suddenly remembers something. "Equo, id est adhuc Roma." Latin: "My horse, it's still in Rome."
"I'd hope we'd not fight many more of those skeletons. My spears are difficult to target a portion of their bodies."
Jimeno nods as Fireskorn comments on the atrocity of the altar.
I don't mind at all whichever way we do it. We could use some healing on our side. Also finally updated my profile.
About the same here, I'll be out for a couple more days
Jimeno drops his trident, takes a 5-foot step backwards and takes out his lance. He tries to jab at the creature at weak points.
"Begone, undead spawn!" Jimeno shouts as an encouragement to himself and to bolster his own morale.
Jimeno follows Fray Manuel Jose into the catacombs, a look of slight concern on his face. "I'm not used to dark places like this. My home country has enough sun, that you're glad when it's dark some days, this isn't one of those times though." He speaks, with a javelin in one hand and his buckler in the other. He hopes his new Japanese friend will take the lead on this one, or perhaps the monk, he likes it better to get a first throw in then switch to melee.
"I would also like to join you two at mass tomorrow morning. During the travel we've had the preachings of bishop Alonso Tostado, but I've never been to a church in Rome before. It would be a great remiss if I didn't attend mass here when I have the chance." Jimeno looks around and nods.
"That would be a logical choice, we have a base of operations here and healing close by if anything went wrong. So where do we begin? Did the assassin have anything we could use to find his comrades?"
"I am also at your disposal Cardinale. If my life and skills can help us in ridding this land of evil, so I will." With that said, Jimeno looks towards the monk that had just helped them hold back the assassin. Strange, isn't he what some would call a hoboblin himself? Why is he so eager to partake in a hunt on his kin. He shakes his head to blank his thoughts and then continues.
The other thing I could is get a +1 Buckler, but I feel the saves are gonna do more for me.
Same here, it's something that's always useful.
Jimeno bows deeply as well before the cardinal.
He does look up though as Akio mentions a cloak that shelters one from more harm.
I've heard stories like this before, never thought we'd make such one ourselves already.
Jimeno looks up at from the dead body of the assassin to the foreign stranger atop of his horse.
Jimeno looks up with a frown at the man in strnage armour and clothing, that still speaks Latin. "Greetings sir, I thank you for your aid. The assassin tried to kill the bishop from my home country. You look like you're not from here, though you speak their tongue, would you tell me from whence you came?" As he stands he extends a hand.
"Ya basta de esto! Muere desgraciado miserable!"
English:
"Enough of this! Die miserable wretch!" Shouts Jimeno as he thrusts at the assassin yet again with his trident.
Jimeno tries to attack the assassin again as well, seeing as he's quite slippery and difficult to hit.
Jimeno attacks the assassin as well with his trident.
Jimeno will then draw his trident and attack the assassin two-handed with it, attempting to put more power behind his thrust.
Jimeno moves over with a double move to stand behind him, ready to assist Fireskorn in pinning the man if he holds him.
Jimeno will also run after the assassin as fast as he can, drawing his lance from his back as he goes.
GM I'm thinking of changing my first choices of feats, as I'm not trying to make Jimeno an archer per se, more of a skirmisher. Would you allow me to still swap out Precise Shot fo Quick Draw after this encounter?
Jimeno looks frustrated as his javelin goes wide and he hears people shouting scared and alarmed as they jump out of the way of the javelin clattering onto the street stones. His face turns to a resilient one as he looks ready to draw more of his javelins if necessary.
Though he's only stepped outside to catch a breath of fresh air, Jimeno is quite aware of his surroundings and quick to react as well. He quickly looks to see who the target is as he grabs a javelin from his quiver. Realizing that the bishop he accompanied is the target he shouts a warning before throwing his javelin at the shadow figure. "Bishop Alonso! Cuidado! Asesino!" English:
Watch Out! Assassin!
Probably in the tab from which you can edit your campaign settings.
Jimeno keeps drinking with his new colleagues, apparently unaware that the bishop he accompanied is being led into the Vatican. He wonders what kind of business the bishop has here in the holy city.
Yeah I know, I wonder where the others of our party are though, not much to respond to at the moment.
Dang and I just made a post in response to Michael.
Jimeno travelled with bishop Alonso Tostado and his larger escort to the Vatican. The rumours and reports of villagers about monsters coming down the mountains and cultists roaming the Streets were enough to unsettle the minds of most soliders in the company, Jimeno himself included. He was used to train against humans, Moors and Arabs in particular, though he had heard rumours of other beings employed in their service, the most would be human. the closer they got to Rome and the Vatican the more thieves and signs of skirmishes they found. Even when the party arrived at the first of June inside the city, the bishop and his guard still remained on their guard. It made Jimeno feel uneasy about his time here. Perhaps this is what father hoped to spare me from or what that recruiting captain wanted me to learn. There is so much to see and things that are dangerous outside of the safety of Gandia. To be a real soldier and famous knight, one has to be aware and face dangers of great evil. This could be my first test in doing so. Jimeno thinks to himself as he drinks with a few other soldiers of the escort, just outside the gates of the Vatican.
Thanks for accepting me, guess I made it through the 'Ruladin' process just fine. I'll have to adjust Jimeno's backstory a bit from Paris to Rome, else he's good to go. Also could Jimeno also speak a dialect language of Spanish for free like Catalan/Catalonian? He is from that region, not sure if anyone would speak that, but it adds some flavour.
changed my profile pic as I saw someone else in this thread using the same one, it might get quite confusing.
Alright here's my Spanish Jinete. Not completely historically accurate, but close enough. The idea is pretty Feat-intensive however, we'll see how he holds up alongside the others. |
