Hey Levis. Sorry to hear you can't keep the game up, but I know, real-life happens. Hope everything goes well for you, and hope your work lightens up on you.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Darius responded several days ago, hopefully he'll post soon. he's been caught up with IRL stuff.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Sent a PM to Darius, hopefully, he'll respond. I'd rather not have this game die.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Anybody else gonna post? I didn't see that one before, but I think we can start this bad boy back up.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Very well. Hopefully, everything goes according to plan.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Sounds like an excellent plan to me. Bastion will, while others are sleeping, keep watch, regardless of the security measures provided.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Ja. I'm still here.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

It's a month now. Are you more able to post, Levis?


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Not quite a month, but coming up on it. Just here to re-dot, as many of my PBPs malfunctioned and stopped giving me updates, so I figure I'll jump ahead of this one a tad.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

I'd much rather have a hiatus than have the game die, as it's been a lot of fun since I've joined. It's been fantastic so far, and I hope to enjoy this game for a while yet. I am absolutely fine with a hiatus.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Sorry, I went to sleep. Bastion would have indeed joined his new friend, Darius in splitting up the fight.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

And what is this, then? Bastion says, wary of what portents the new green liquid might hold, but also curious of such a liquid that could, in theory, stop fights.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Bastion happily takes the elf's hand. That it has, Master Darius. That it has. I am glad to call you a friend as well, perhaps one day the two of them, he motions inside to Vorik and Hugh, can shed their differences and be friends as well. Well, I can certainly hope, right?


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

It is a possibility, the two of you do seem to have somewhat similar skillsets.

That makes sense. I feel that, in the future, each of us shall be able to learn much from the other. Friends we are, and hopefully, friends we shall remain.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

I'm sure I could be. This tool, which I created to help me when I worked in the shop, certainly lends itself well to destruction. It amplifies strength, allowing me to swing harder than I normally could. I am sure that, were I to fight, a well-matched opponent would be hard-pressed to best me. I am sturdy as well; well-built.

You and I seem to be well-suited to friendship, for whatever reason. Speech comes naturally, and there is no bad blood between us. It is good to have friends, I have found. It takes away some of the tedium.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Even though I was orignially built for fighting, I actually know little of it. Once I was built, the war effort was over, so I found employ at an armorsmith. Until recently, that was what I had done. I had often imagined going to war, which caused me to slip up occasionally, resulting in my removal from employment. I came along with my companions to find adventure, and it has most certainly found me. I have begun to think, however, that it may not have been the best decision I've made, although I'm fairly certain it won't be the worst.

Bastion chuckles at his last comment.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

I suppose that is sensible. A strange view for me, but a view that does have some semblence of sense. I suppose a religion isn't out of the question, although as I said before, it appears that it can lead to arguments, fights, and the like, which are completely unnecessary. War itself may be unavoidable to some extent, but fights over such ridiculous things as beliefs seem rather unnecessary, when there seem to be no such dispute between the gods in question. Granted, I am not very well-versed in the texts or preachings of any faith.

Interesting theological conversation going on here, eh Darius?


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Bastion takes the seat offered him, speaking all the while, I suppose it is a possibility that the gods I may one day worship are the same that you yourself hold honor to, but I have seen little need for it. I was not created by gods, and I hold no special bond with them, as far as I can tell. Perhaps, one day that will change. Bastion gazes off into the distance.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Bastion, too, leaves the tent. I've never seen a use for religion, nor do I now. All that I can tell it is used for is starting fights, wars, and the like.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Bastion has been mostly silent, more interested in taking in his surroundings than responding to any particular statement. Once they reach the horses, however, he breaks his silence. These are quite nice. They look fast, too. Cannith makes good, quality stuff. I should know.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Sense Motive on Braysen, determining if he was joking or not concerning it being a suicide mission.1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

That's not very promising talk, now is it?


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Who are these, now? Unless he can tell whether they are friendly or not, Bastion will draw his death ray.

Perception1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

I have need of nothing else. I'm ready to get going.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

As Bastion sees the figure, he advances towards it, extending his hand for a handshake. You must be from the church?


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Holy water is so expensive. :/ 25 gp each vial, it's more effective to just /ignore DR, and bash things. I'm thinking that's what I'm going to have to do.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Anyone else buy anything?


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Just that morningstar that I've already jotted down. I haven't come up with anything in the meantime.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

I saw that Religious Studies seminar on Facebook. For whatever reason, All of a sudden in the "People you may know" section I've got a ton of game developers now, from SKR to Monte Cook, Owen Stephens to Jason Bulmahn.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Bastion will get a nice morningstar(8gp), and unless I can think of anything else before we leave, that's it.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Just so y'know, Levis, you've got a PM waiting for you. It's not too terribly important at the moment, though, so feel free to take your time responding to it.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Glad I read this before I posted in the gameplay thread.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Distan. We've been through some good times, but I've got the feeling of a need for action. Hopefully, we'll meet again, but I'm going to stick with them.

Bastion will put his hand forward for a farewell handshake, gripping tightly the hand of the man who had made his life much more interesting since they'd been working together.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

I don't have anything to buy, I've got a gold and 4 silver.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Bastion will leave as well, bowing slightly to those in the room. Once back in the waiting room, he retrieves his weapons.

I've got a few tricks, I suppose. I'm not exactly one for drinking. It just doesn't do much for me.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Well? Distan? Tika? Sound like something we want to get into? We've been pretty action-lite lately, and this seems like just the thing to fix that.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

I don't know the country very well, so I have no meaningful input on the subject.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Bastion shrugs.

I don't know the country very well.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Forgot to reply to Darius's post.

Bastion eyes the Elf warily, until Vorik or Klaus recognizes him as an ally. Once they do so (assuming they do so), Bastion will relax, and put forth his hand for a handshake, although he stays fairly quiet.

On, to present times.

Bastion takes a seat, although the presence of this newcomer is questionable at best. Bastion keeps his eyes flitting between Kaius, Krozen, and the newcomer.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Bastion stands at the ready, not sure of this new figure.

I doubt Bastion could Identify him, let alone what he is.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Not to be nit-picky, Vorik, but I noticed your AC is a little bit off. Yours is stated to be 24, but it should be 23, as you have a -1 Dexterity modifier. I was just looking through profiles, as I realized that there are now 2 rogues, and I figured I'd look at others as well.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Excellent.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

The tension that held Bastion in place now seemingly gone, Bastion will move back into the waiting chamber, following other members of the party.

Once back in the waiting room, Bastion speaks.Well, that was precarious. I was certain we had need of an alternate escape route.

Once back in the waiting room, are we directed/allowed to take our weapons up again?


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Such an exchange may very well be possible.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

That seems like the best option, really. much better than anything I came up with. IN fact, I couldn't really come up with anything. THat's what my vote goes toward.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

I don't really know of anything that might work.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Bastion stays standing, still as a statue, but ready to leap if things turn sour.

Just posting to let you know I'm still here.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

That means no device.

Bastion stands but doesn't speak, hoping not to make the situation worse with his lack of experience with the arguments of the flesh-bound.

Ready an action. If "combat" really begins, ie punches are thrown or what not, Bastion will activate the device described earlier.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

$h1t. We definitely need an escape route.

First round action, unless something happens before his turn, he'll activate a device: Personal Weapon Augmentation, on his battle fist, with Bane(human) on it. Otherwise, I'll judge by what goes on.


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

This isn't going as planned. We may need an escape route. That's too bad.

GM:
Were there any places in or around the city wall where I think I could easily dig through with my Burrowing Fist? Kn:Engineering to help:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36


Male personality Warforged Engineer Alchemist 4

Bastion remains silent, wary and ready.
