M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Ok, it's time to declare this dead


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

First Save
reflex save on 11 dmg: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Second Save
reflex save on 9 dmg: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
So 11+4 for a total of 15 damage. Jonathan is at 20/35 hp.

Jonathan continues to make space between himself and the rest of the group (moves another 30', so any burst that affects him will need to be at least a 30' radius to hit the others), and then casts a Magic Missile at the one Bedik hit.
Magic Missile Damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 4) + 3 = 12


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Aren't the (surviving) witches on 22 init and Jonathan and Bedik on 20? ( Whisper is on a 13 and Vargos on 10) So what are the 2 remaining witches doing, having taken 20 odd damage apiece (11 from my Burst of Radiance, and Whisper and Bedik's attacks...)


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Well, I am back, apparently not much has happened


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Ok, I am away for Christmas. Posting will be sporadic at best. If necessary, bot my actions. I should be back to a regular schedule on Jan 2.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

What is the 3ed witch doing. First did rolling balls of acid, second did magic missile. What does #3 do?


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Don't forget the +2 for flanking for the wolf...


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Jonathan mutters some mystic words, and a blast of light engulfs the witches as Bedik charges them. Then he backs off, away from the witches.

Casts Burst of Radiance, hitting as many of the witches as possible w/o hitting Bedik. Radius is 10', DC 16, reflex save for blindness, subjects dazzled if save succeeds. If evil, subjects takes damage: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 2, 1) = 11 w/o a save
He then takes a 30' move back away from the witches, trying to put Vargos and Bedik between him and the witches...


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

I'm thinking we've hit initiative

Inititiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Telling the truth they may be, Jonathan thinks to himself, but this is getting royally creepy... I'll just stay here in my friendly shadows...

He will also take a spellcraft check to identify magic, say something like a charm effect:
Spellcraft : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

before we get all enthusiastic here, how about we get a return from Elton about your sense motive roll - he might say it tells you they are telling the truth...


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Listening from the shadows, Jonathan,

Untrained Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 +1 from wis

thinks this sounds quite believable, but he's still suspicious of their strange chanting, so he stays in the shadows.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Jonathan looks at Bedik and Whisper as they hide themselves, and decides this is no time to be standing around being primary target...

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

The shadows seem to welcome him, as he melts into their embrace.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

"It's saying:
'Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!'
"

You should probably make a perception check of your own, Whisper


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

"Hey! I hear someone chanting!

Perception check to look about as Vargos follows Whisper the tracker.

You hear chanting.

“Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!”

Passive Perception check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Did Jonathan hear anything?


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Looking at the others off following Whisper, Jonathan hurries to catch up, and then pipes up "Whisper, obviously you've found something, but as mentioned, I'm a city boy... I like to know what's going on, so talk to me..."


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Is it Bendik or Bedik? I ask because the profile says Bedik, but in thread, everyone is saying Bendik

As the group heads to the farm, Jonathan asks, "So what is you plan, Ser Bendik?"


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

LoL: random direction! noble savage!

With a bemused smile, Jonathan takes in this exchange, shakes his head and follows Bendik off to the farm.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

"Lead the way, Sir Knight", Jonathan is happy to let the knight handle the diplomacy.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Ok, we have a party, and I think a skills inventory would be useful.

Jonathan is stealthy, has a high perception, is good at bluff, decent at intimidate (when he lets down his disguise, of course), has spellcraft, and has a surprising amount of knowledge of history and nobility.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Jonathan pipes up, "Assuming that whatever is carrying off Joseph's livestock leaves tracks, is anyone hear good at tracking? More of a city boy myself."


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

not a problem


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Watching Whisper's pantomime intently, Jonathan exclaims :"Oh, you think the first job we should try is the farmer, the second is the claim jumper, and finally the dungeon thing. Ok, let's go find farmer Joseph - the poster says a 1/4 mile north on the highway, the third farmhouse past the Monke bridge " With that, Jonathan starts walking...

Whisper the Wolven wrote:
Whisper nods to the words Johnathan speaks and steps forward to then indicate that they should try for apprehending Hustler Dick. he wished to try and help as much as he can before he would listen to the likes of the Adventurers Guild.

"I am sorry Whisper, have I mis-stated your intent? You wish to pursue this claim jumper, rather than deal with the farmer's problem?

Someone else was speaking, and he was taken aback that there was another undead there with them that he hadn't noticed. That bird truly captured his attention.

Note the aforementioned undead is disguised as a human, with a DC 22 disguise...


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

"Well, Bedik wants to help Joseph the farmer, I am willing to do this, and so, I think, is Whisper. If Vargos agrees, our decision is made." Looking up at the clouds, he continues "It's cloudy, but it doesn't look like it will rain. Shall we try and find Farmer Joseph, so we can try and solve his problems tonight? I can see in the dark, 90 ft darkvision how about the rest of you?"


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Jonathan turns to the newcomer and looks him up and down. A wolven, not common in these parts, he thinks. "Your far from home and I've never heard of a Wolven who could speak a civilized tongue. Well Whisper, be true to your salt, and I'll not have problems working with anyone. The name's Jonathan, Jonathan Tarquirian.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

"I take it you're looking for a job as well?" asks the non-descript man Take 10 on disguise + 10 hat of disguise + 4 Cha -2 different race = DC 22 to notice something is off about the "man" . "I have no objection to helping the farmer, and a friend to watch you back on such ventures is always a help. My name is Jonathan, Jonathan Tarquirian."


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

What's the adventure hook? Are we just wandering in the town of York, or have we been summoned for a purpose?

A nondescript man wandered the St. John's Grene, looking in the stalls and peddlar's carts, examining what's for sale.
5'9", brown hair, green eyes, he might be a fellow merchant, although he is carrying perhaps more steel than a normal merchant - a longspear and a crossbow are evident. The clothes and gear are a little battered, but well made and cared for.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Bonebutt's character sheet is complete in his profile (pretty much).

Eldritch Heritage

You are descended from a long line of sorcerers, and some
portion of their power f lows in your veins.
Prerequisites: Cha 13, Skill Focus with the class skill
of bloodline selected for this feat (see below), character
level 3rd.
Benefit: Select one sorcerer bloodline. You must have
Skill focus in the class skill that bloodline grants to a
sorcerer at 1st level (for example, Heal for the celestial
bloodline). This bloodline cannot be a bloodline you
already have. You gain the first-level bloodline power for
the selected bloodline. For purposes of using that power,
treat your sorcerer level as equal to your character level –
2, even if you have levels in sorcerer. You do not gain any
of the other bloodline abilities.

Eldritch Heritage >>> Select Arcane Bloodline

Arcane Bloodline's first level power is Arcane Bond

Arcane Bond >>> select bonded object : "A bonded object can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the wizard has in his spellbook and is capable of casting, even if the spell is not prepared. "

A sorcerer doesn't have one of those... In my experience, it's generally treated as a floating spell slot that uses the sorcerer's normal spells known, but that's a DM's call.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Elton, how does a bonded item on a sorcerer (from Eldritch Heritage Arcane) work in your campaign ( I haven't found an official ruling). I am thinking about taking the eldritch heritage feat chain with Jonathan...

It is not my intent to be difficult. What reason would a chivalric orc have to adventure with undead? They seem fairly anathematic to the religions that Orkania has accepted.

Not sure, we are all in the City of York, in Bretonia. Let's ask a different Question: Why is your character in York?

Jonathan is in York, because that is where he sent the ship with his wife and kids (which apparently never arrived). He is hoping to a) review the port records, and b) find a bunch of old retired sailors that he can ask about rumors from 17 years ago...
