"Destroying the statue and preventing further undead from being created is a necessity, while the boy is removed to Sandpoint."says Jinda. He then moves to a wagon and digs around in it until he finds a sledge or some other means of crushing a statue, "Well let's get to smashing that disgusting thing."
"I'm not prepared to deal with a swarm!" cries Jinda as he backs away from the undead bats slowly, preparing to run.
Aiming his hand at the monstrous undead creature, Jinda let's loose with another boosted magic missile.
"Hurry and destroy that thing, before it finishes off Magnauk!"
Argh Sorry for disappearance. I'll catch up today and post appropriately.
Mulling over the philosophical ramifications around the creation of undead creatures, Jinda follows after Hiro, grumbling something about smelly dank graves not being as nice as a stout dwarven tunnel.
"Any idea what these things are?"grumbles Jinda, wondering why he gets into these messes and really hoping they don't have fireworks. Pointing a finger and concentrating, Jinda shouts,"जादूची क्षेपणास्त्र" and a sparkling bolt of force energy hits the creature directly in front of Lyraesel.
Congratulations on getting hitched!
"Hold up! That first stone block on the floor doesn't belong there! It's quite possibly a pressure plate that may activate a trap if too much wait is on it at one time."cautions the dwarf."This cave could be flooded as well looking at the tombs slight grade. I'm sure we can expect some gruesome undead creature to be waiting for us in there." Jinda starts to roll some of the heavy rocks to sit on the pressure plate, unless someone is skilled at disabling traps and stops him.
Huff.. huff... "Oh! A tomb!? Did anyone ask the child what attacked him?"Jinda muses as he finally catches up with the group. This looks ominous... "शक्ती थर मला घेरतात" says Jinda with authority as he casts the spell mage armor on himself. "Time to investigate!" exclaims the dwarf as he pulls his axe free from its belt loop.
[ooc]Super sorry about the delay. No real reason...[/b]
Ouch! Hate it when t.hat happens. Take the time you need. I'll be here!
"The Tors are a fabulous place, let me think on them a bit before I give a recommendation, though I doubt with our companions that we'd get into too much trouble." says Jinda.
Noticing Kenji and Deborah, Jinda indicates to Sandru and clears his throat. "Ahh. Kenji lad, I think I overheard you mention this lass will be providing healing services on our voyage?" Standing and turning towards Deborah, and with a slight bow, Jinda welcomes her to the team, "Welcome aboard! It will be quite nice to have another young beauty join this caravan, to help balance out the hardened warrior vibe this caravan was accquiring. Looking forward to having you repair the many injuries that I seem to be particularly suited for attracting..."
Ah who needs rest, you should go clubbing and spread your sick to as many people as possible! Either way we'll be here when you return.
A quick panic shoots through Jinda and he stops humming and doodling in the margins. I sure hope I didn't actually break into song... Grr. I should be preparing for a perilous journey not lazing about the tavern daydreaming... Starting out with a squeaking quickly taking on the expected dwarven gruffness, Jinda says,"eek. Erm. Ah Master Vhiski, a pleasure to make your acquaintance at last. We really haven't had the time to converse together, with all the parties and excitement. To answer your question, I don't need any special consideration for traveling other than a good stash of drink for when we are not on duty. I suppose if you expect me to ride a horse, I'd prefer something on the smaller side. Is there anything I can do to help get this caravan ready?"
A couple of hours later and Jinda still appears to be working away in his spell book at a casual glance, but he's long since moved on to daydreaming about Ameiko and him traveling together without the entourage. Under his breath he is humming an old dwarven love song. Any adult male dwarf caught singing it would be laughed out of the tunnels for weeks.
Sitting alone in the cozy inn, Jinda works quietly adding information to his spellbook. He also preps the mapping book for the journey, figuring he might as well take detailed notes and drawings on the way to Brinewall. Talking to himself,"Wonder why everyone wants to avoid Riddleport? I'd love a chance to talk with the Cyphermages there. And I'd love to show the Cyphergate to Ameiko..." Jinda eventually trails off concentrating on his notes. He stays in fairly deep concentration working away on his books, and would be startled if anyone were to approach or say something.
"Other than being a great student of geography, I'm not particularly specialized in any specific tasks involved in running a successful caravan, but will be happy to help lend a hand wherever it is needed." offers Jinda. Looking over the route, Jinda looks for possible shortcuts or potentially profitable side stops to suggest.
So I can specifically be the guide with Know:Geo at +7 Or generic spellcaster. Or both?
"Ahh, Magnuk without our murky looks, these ladies shine would be lessened. Or umm, I meant to say beauty is only intensified when found upon the dross. Or... Umm.. I think I'll just stop now." Jinda attempts to play along! but got flustered and ends in a furious blush, which he tries to hide behind taking a massive gulp from his tankard. This doesn't work so well, as he chokes on the mouthful and ends up spilling beer all over the front of himself...
So to determine how many charges left on the wand and what is the ring, here are spellcraft checks with the identify casted.
I'd like to add these spells to my spellbook
The 2 I learned from leveling are:
"Hazzah! A journey! This exploration in the marshes of Brinestump has awakened my thirst for adventure! I swear an oath of companionship, I shall not leave you or Kenji's side until the adventure be over or I fall to overwhelming odds defending you and yours till my final breath!" Exclaims Jinda with much gusto. A few seconds later, a confused look crosses his face. What did I just get myself into?!
Giving up on Kenji's door, Jinda walks back to the common room. "Ah! There you are lad, thought you might be having a lie in with all the excitement last night," comments Jinda. After hearing the news, Jinda thinks carefully. Ameiko wishes to adventure again? She wants to track down her family history. This would be a chance to be a companion and not a customer. I should encourage her and Kenji. "Miss Kaijitsu, a trip to Brinewall appears to be in order, and what luck, you have an adventuring party that has been tested in the firey.. err.. soggy swamps of Varisia. Please allow us to escort you to Brinewall. Hopefully the good paladin and our taciturn elf will join us?" says Jinda. "Oh! And let's not forget to bring our fire specialist Kenji."
"This appears to be an exciting piece of history, though I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the term yojimbo. Miss Kaijitsu, if you'd like to compose yourself I'll go fetch the lad, you might worry him in your shocked state." says Jinda. He then heads down the hall to pound on Kenji's door. "Kenji! Its breakfast time!" shouts Jinda through the door. Not like the lad to sleep in so late, maybe he met a woman, with his new found fame? muses the dwarf, as he waits at the door.
With Hiro's sudden exclamation, the dwarf jumps to his feet and exclaims, "What's the matter?"
I've got a new job, started this week. I'll get some posts in today. It'll be a couple of hours though.
"Well Tarwyn, my lad. Magic is either in your blood or not. If it is no matter how much you try and hide it, it'll come out. Though if you want to be a wizard there are two main concepts you should focus on: discipline and patience. The headmaster as a skilled wizard knows this and is probably testing you to see if you have both these qualities before teaching you more." explains Jinda. Turning to the brew master, "It be a tossup, your beer, Ameiko's food. I can't decide which keeps me coming back to Sandpoint. I do have to give Ameiko the edge though, as she is far more pleasant to the eye." says Jinda with a furtive glance towards Ameiko again. As the conversation and drinking go on, Jinda thanks, "Dear old Chask, your papers and supplies were of top notch quality as expected, and it is in no small part that your products helped make our mapping mission a success! *hic*" After a few more pints, Jinda falls asleep snoring loudly.
Please do, Hiro.
While stuffing his face from the fabulous lunch provided,"Af'tr ta jant ina wuuds, I feel... gulp... much better prepared for our next adventure. Hey Kenji?! Where to next?" While waiting for a response, Jinda gives a long slow gaze at Ameiko.
"I'm afraid cooked rat doesn't smell much better than the uncooked version. Kenji how are your wounds, that bite looks really messy?" says Jinda. Relaxing slightly he begins to scan around for any signs of the rat thing or other threats approaching as the little shack goes up in flames.
"Thanks, Lyraesel, that would almost caused me to bleed on the mapping supplies," appreciates Jinda, "Do rats around here usually have humanoid faces?" I should probably have cast mage armor before we went into a creepy witch's hut. I should do that now... "शक्ती थर मला घेरतात" intones Jinda and momentary shimmer envelops his body as Mage Armor spell protects him.
[b]"I'm getting out of the way," says Jinda and then walks 20 feet to the doorstep, provoking attacks from both rats as he heads outside to wait for Hiro to finish cleaning up the rats.
"If it's one thing I cannot abide, its rats. Slay them quickly and burn the filthy things to ash." comments Jinda as he swings his axe at the one right next to him. He then 5 foot steps away from the rat to allow someone else a turn at smacking them.
"Anyone home?" shouts Jinda. Seeing his companions take combat stances, the dwarf pulls out his axe and says, "What is it? Where is the source of danger?!"
"All right, I've finished mapping this cave. We have a pretty decent sketch of the swamp, but are missing some detail here and here, and a little over here. Does anyone have the requisite skills to open this here chest?" pauses Jinda for effect,"Then lets leave it here for now, and finish the mapping job. It's been here for a couple of years at least, I doubt its going to get up and leave."
"Nicely done Magnauk! Now lets take a closer look at this chest." says Jinda. He circles the chest looking carefully at it trying to find the Kaijitsu name anywhere on the box. He also checks it for obvious traps, and appraises the box. After a relatively quick examination, he picks up the wakazahi and detects magic for a couple of rounds and then attempts to discern it's magical properties.
"Hmm. Err. Uhh... Last one of these today." says Jinda as he moves up next to Kenji, "लाइटनिंग लान्स". A shimmering bolt of electricity shoots out of Jinda's finger and harmlessly hits the wall behind the vicious skeleton.
"Lightning seems to work, lets try a magic missile! जादूची क्षेपणास्त्र!"says Jinda, with his voice raising to a shout at the end.
With a hearty,"लाइटनिंग लान्स" Jinda lets loose with a lightning lance.
Shocked at how well his aim was, Jinda carefully makes sure he isn't blocking anyone's attacks against the skeleton.
"Another skeleton up ahead, it seems much more competent than the last group. It is looking right at me." comments Jinda. It didn't immediately attack, and it seems to be guarding that chest. I wonder if it is waiting for the rightful owner... Giving it a moments thought, Jinda blurts,"Hey Kenji, I've got a crazy idea. What if you introduce yourself to this skeleton in Minkian? "
"This here crystal could be quite valuable, but I don't think we've the time to mine it. I think I'll put in a claim at the local assayer's office for this cave," with that said, Jinda heads towards the northwest cave.
Jinda moves up to the skeleton and with a loud grunt, swings his axe at it with all his might.
It was awesome for my Bolt Ace! I get to retrain a feat, for free! Hello Precise shot!
Think the only thing errata effects on me is limiting the times I can eat magic wand charges... Double checking it more thoroughly soon.
Jinda steps back and lets loose with another lighting lance at the skeleton who attacked him.
Sorry for the slowness yesterday. They guys got me hooked on Xwing miniatures, so we spent most of sunday night, and monday afternoon playing... 2 days and I'm already 60 bucks in...
"Well skeletons generally aren't such a bother, what worries me is what animated them..." grumbles Jinda as he unlimbers his axe. He steps five feet diagonally and points a finger at skeleton 3, and shouts, "लाइटनिंग लान्स". A sizzling bolt of lightning shoots forth and fizzles out before reaching the intended target.
I run a Reign of Winter game, but we all know each other IRL. So pauses of a day or two abound, but we b@@$& at each other for not posting in person so it will stay alive fairly easy.
