Jokulmorder Zheng's page

Hello, this is Jokulmorder's player speaking. I am very sorry I haven't posted in weeks but that is due to my compulsory military service just starting, and I was stuck in a military base for a whole 3 weeks. As a result of the tightly regimented lifestyle of the military, it leaves me with little time for posting on here. Therefore, I must retire from this game. I am very sorry for any inconvenience I am causing as a result of this but my lifestyle can no longer support such leisure. That being said, it was fun playing with you guys, for whatever short period of time we did.

" I am Jokulmorder Zheng, son of the blacksmith Jian Zheng, currently seeking your wise counsel." Zheng introduces from the back

A late, but still well meaning Happy New Year to all

Zheng bumbles along, Letting Seka do all the talking

" perhaps the temple will have more answers to offer?" Zheng suggests

" So this particular shard belongs to which sword?" Zheng asks, quite confused at this point

I can't quite remember what we collected. I am under the impression that we have 1 shard of the holy sword and another shard of some destroyed crystal ball, or whatever it was that we smashed in the necro-dragon encounter."

"Father should have mentioned something about this"
Zheng mutters
knowledge (local): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"So the metal is sentient?"

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
" Magic? Of what sort?" Zheng inquires, flipping the metal in his hands.

Zheng grumps a little at the extra company he seems to have brought along. nevertheless, he procures the shard of the holy blade and shows it to the smith.

Whoops sorry about the lack of posting on my end as well. I went on vacation and just kinda fell behind on the posting.

" No drinks for me."
Zheng announces.
" I'd like to get the metal shard checked at the local temple and smithy's"

Zheng huffs in boredom at the lack of interesting activity.
"can't wait to get these checked." he mumbles

Zheng rolls his mace in his hands, somewhat disinterested in the group rewards.

Zheng shifts his weight from one foot to the other as the others voice their opinions

If time permits I would actually like to do a little soft rp before deciding on where to allocate skill points, but i'll get to updating Zheng's other aspects first.

HP: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8
+2 from and +1 from fast learner
and the tanking continues!

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Zheng shuffles awkwardly to halt behind the others, electing to let someone more eloquent than him do the talking.

" So treasure behind the mirthril door and Orb shards from where the orb was? Are we perhaps venturing back to collect those?"
Zheng recaps for his own sake. He rummages around his packs , removing another shard of metal.
" Phew. So this is here as well."

" Well as long as I get to keep the shard of the holy sword."

" I didn't hear the orb speaking to me, but I do have this." He produces the metal shard he used to smash the orb earlier. " Shard of the holy blade huh. Fascinating. I wonder what stories this particular shard has to tell, and I wonder what remains of the rest of the blade. I'll have to get back to Greywater to have that figured out." He pauses to stash away his shiny treasure, turning back to the group " So we have to go back to collect the shards from the orb we smashed earlier?"

" Privacy is always a welcome feature" Zheng comments and nods

Zheng places the door back in place
" Just to be safe I suppose." He follows behind everyone else.

weren't we just in the bedroom? I think the gm means the only thing we have to settle now is how to haul all this loot back.

" Well I suppose we have a mithril door as a solid base for our sled." Zheng stretches.
"we could just pile everything on top of it."

" Oh my." Zheng remarks at the sight of all the metal.
" how do you propose we carry this loot back?"

oops it was the door we were trying to identify, not the crown. My bad.

" The is made of solid Mirthal. Pretty unbreakable stuff. As is the key. Either something very valuable or something very dangerous is behind here, and I'm willing to wager it's the latter."

So pm you our character's greatest fears?

" well the emblem iself belonged to a fellow called 'the thief king', that's as much as I know.As for the metal however...."
Zheng picks up the crown and glances over it
Appraise: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
" well perhaps I can gleam something out of it."

zheng doesn't have dungeoneering.but with his career as a blacksmith, could he have possibly seen this material before? Or possibly examine it with his appraise skill?
Zheng, who has been silent all this while, wanders up to crown and the bones.
" well it's shiny, that's for sure." he concludes,tapping the metal.
" I don't suppose anyone will be using it anytime soon."He glances to the bones. " this symbol however....." his brows furrow as he attempts to recall anything.
knowledge history: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

" on the bright side Targan, you did in fact seal off the hole the rats were coming out of, so that's always good."
Zheng comments helpfully.
Power attack(Heavy Mace): 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 1 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
Then he steps up and swings his ugly mace at another rat!

Oh thanks Seka!
Zheng decides it would be best to whack a rat.
Power attack(Heavy Mace): 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 1 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12

Zhou draws his mace and steps up to fill the gap that Ikkit left
I think that's both move actions
" Sorry shiny metal, I'll forge you into something cool soon!"

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
"Uhhhhh what?"

" It's rusted so you can't just pull it Mr Claw." Zheng stretches. " let me have a go at it." he goes up to the lever and pulls hard.
strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Let me take a look."
Zheng creeps over to the lever
Knowledge ( Engineering): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

" well since we're looting....." zheng picks up the dragon bones that would seem suitable for crafting into hilts and grips.

It's supposedly a 2 day trek back to town, and exploring more would be a good idea, but zheng himself has reservations about exploring further given that he's already gotten himself two shiny shards of metal. If the party decides to press on, zheng will follow them.

Zheng just stashes both shards of metal he found. " Alright, if we're going back in....." he meekly follows behind the party

Zheng hyperventilates as he makes in back to the group. " We're still staying? I've taken enough risks breaking the orb, and that looks like incredibly powerful magic that was dispelled. I'm sure the dragon's creators can't be very happy about that either."

"By the Gods!" Zheng grabs the second metal shard and sprints back to the group!

Zheng's eyes dart back to the retreating party, but he has to finish what he started.
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"A moment!" Zhou attempts to smash the orb with his shiny metal! Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
what do I use for damage?

"White is good right?"
I think Zheng is still making his way towards the orb

"What now, shiny metal?" He grumbles and removes the metal from his pack so he can have a better look at it.

"Arghhhh" Zheng grumbles in frustration as the orb there.
"Someone just shoot it!" He hisses at the party.

"Maybe we should just shoot it."

Zheng steadies himself
initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
