Jonin Sheld's page

Jonin lets out an unearthly laugh as he points at Markus.

Cackle to extend Ghent's Fortune. Marcus gets the fortune hex now too.

ok some of the goblins that have been attacked have died, thats only the close combat goblins

How close are the goblins to the wall?

Hey...welcome back. Hope your week gets better.

It looks like a lot of us have posted our actions for round 2.

Jonin - cast Fortune hex on Grent
Grent - cast Bless
Dumpling - attack
Mundriel - attack
Markus - attack
Widfren - Bluff, total defense, cast Sanctuary

Does that look correct?

Its been almost a week since the DM has posted. Not looking good.

Hey guys...I'm still here too.

Jonin mutters an incantation and points at Grent.

I'm not sure how close the battle is to the wall. If I am in range, then Jonin will cast the Fortune hex on Grent.

Description: The target can call upon this good luck once per round, allowing him to reroll any ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, taking the better result. He must decide to use this ability before the first roll is made.

Can you give us a description of the battlefield? How far away from the wall are the goblins? How close are Bane, Widfen, and Grent? It sounds like they are close enough for full attacks, but I wasn't sure. Thanks.

I'm still here. I just want to know a bit more about the layout until I declare my action.

Jonin speaks an incantation and gestures towards the group of goblins.

Glitterdust centered, so it affects the maximum number of goblins. DC 18 Will save, blind on failed save, 6 rounds, foes get a saving throw each round, 10' radius

Hey...I have internet access. So are we behind a wall or something? Can you give us a description of where we are in relation to the goblins?

Hey guys. I'll be gone until Sunday night. Feel free to NPC my guy if needed. He will probably cast Glitterdust on a group of them if they are in range and close together in the first round. Maybe Haste in the second round if it gets that far this weekend....not sure how fast it will play out.

Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Hi ulgulanoth. So we are behind a wall and the goblins are across the wall? Do you have a map that you can post with the layout? Thanks.

In a low voice and without pointing, Jonin tells his comrades about the goblin that he sees.

Jonin salutes as best he can and follows his comrades to the south wall. "I told you this would be interesting Skaw." he says to the cat in his pack as they walk along.

He looks around as they reach the south wall....

Anything that I notice? Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Jonin opens his pack, so Skaw can jump in. He grabs the sword leaning against the bench. I don't want them to think I just threw it away..., he thinks.

He takes his place beside Bane, trying to look as soldiery as possible.

"Alright, Jonin Sheld, I will assume that making our enemies as competent as you in swordplay is a good thing. Well met."

a little hand shaking here is called for.

"I might be able to give a little good luck with your swings as well." he says with a grin as he shakes hands with Bane.

Straehan looks at Bane seriously, gauging how his profession may sit with his new acquaintance, "No. I'm a Sorcerer... dagger-throwing is more of a hobby."

Sense Motive (to see how Bane and Jonin react to his being a Sorcerer) 1d20+8

"Very nice...I have some skill with magic myself."

Straehan looks around at the empty town of Berol. With the locals evacuated, and only a small military contingent remaining, the eerily under-populated place seems haunted. While he is inclined to introduce himself, he's had enough unpleasant run-ins with provincial militias that he finds it difficult to approach them - even when he is nominally supposed to be fighting beside them.

He notes there are a few unusual looking 'characters' in the swirl of Andoran military men. He ambles over to one, a tall (relative to Straehan) half-elf holding a sword as if it might be feather-duster. He says jokingly, "The pointy end goes in to the person you are fighting. I'm Straehan." He holds out his hand to shake as is the local custom.

Jonin looks up from his musings on the sword to see an odd sight. Standing before him is a tall and handsome gnome without the usual vivid coloring of his race. His long hair is blue-black, matching his expensive robe. His skin is light, almost pale, and his expressive mouth is framed by a blue-black goatee. His eyes glitter an unremitting black. Over one shoulder he is carrying a duel set of bandoliers bearing a half dozen daggers. The gnome raises a quizzical eyebrow at Jonin, waiting for his hand to be shook.

Edit (Didn't see Bane's entry until after I posted) - Bane's approach and comment evokes an amused smirk from Straehan. He offers his hand and his name, "Feel free to shout 'Hey, Straehan' in my general direction, Bane."

"Hello Staehan. The name's Jonin Sheld." he shakes the gnome's hand in greeting. "I suppose if you have to point out the pointy end, then I might leave the pointy things to you gentlemen." he leans the sword against a bench as he says this.

"Then what are you good at, stranger?" quips Bane, as he makes a few practice swings with his heavy mace, the plates of his armor clanking noisily.

Bane waits a few moments before continuing.

"Since we shall be fighting together, it's best we know each others' names so at least when the fighting starts I don't have to shout: 'Hey, stranger!'"

"I am Ezekiel. But for brevity's sake, call me by my family name: Bane."

Bane lookss like the typical fullplated heavy foot soldier
except that he also has a fine cloak over his shoulders.

"I've business elsewhere so the sooner we finish this little war the better."

"Well, I might make our enemies as proficient with a sword as I, among other things. The name's Jonin Sheld." he says, "Well met Bane."

Jonin unsheathes the sword that someone pressed into his hand. He looks up and down the sword's blade and glances at Skaw..."I told them I'm no good with one of these." The cat rolls his eyes and looks away.

I just imagined someone passing out all available weapons to anyone without a sword or something. Since the attack is 1 day away it sounded like the atmosphere might be rather frantic.

So are we all together at this point? What do we see around us?

OK, so I was looking at the Wealth by Character Level table... is 16,000 GP correct as our 'starting cash'? And we should spend no more that 8k on a single item?

I went with 16K as well.

I'm all set...

actually good question before we start, what level of gore are you guys comfortable with?

I don't mind gore...as long as I'm not the subject of the goring monster. :)

cool, and erm, could you get an icon/avatar for this guy?

:)

It does look a little weird without an avatar...

Max HP (1st level) + 5 rolls + 6 Con + 6 favored class + 6 Toughness
6 + 5d6 + 6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ 6 + (1, 4, 5, 4, 3) + 6 + 6 + 6 = 41

I updated the profile with Jonin's stats, equipment and other stuff. I need to add a few more things like his spellbook and maybe a few more purchases.

But in all seriousness, what sources are available to choose from for traits?

This site has just about every trait....and other cool stuff too.

Traits

Can we use any trait from this link? I found a cool regional trait for Bellis (where my character is from) that relates to his backstory. It is called Bellis Honey Harvester. Here is the description.

Bellis Honey Harvester (Andoran - Bellis)P
Source Andoran: Spirit of Liberty 18
Your frequent exposure to bees - and their stings - makes all such creatures seem more like nuisances than actual threats. You gain DR 3/- against damage dealt by swarms and a +1 trait bonus on saving throws against distraction and poison from swarms.

MoFiddy here...

Here is my half-elf Witch. His background is in the profile.
