Oh well. Have fun everybody!

hello players, any1 want to make background tie-ups? our characters may have joined forces in a previous dungeon delve or arcane tower heist.... I kind of assumed that once the DM picked some people, the idea would be that they'd been adventuring together for a while. Otherwise I'm not really sure what the motivation to team up for the festival is given that there's motivation not to unless you trust your teammates pretty well. But then, I'm clearly not the DM, so I don't know what the plan is for tying the chosen characters together. Also, picked K'leck's traits and added in even more gear. Might be changing that about since I can't decide if I should get a magical weapon (other than his +1 armor spikes) or focus on making his non-fort saves less horrible. Currently leaning towards the latter.
I've made a few modifications to K'leck to level him up. Still missing some traits, and I've only bought 2 items, so I still have a fair amount of cash to spend. The feats, skills, HP, ability scores, and rage powers are all there though.
I don't think metagaming should be an issue. And I can generally at least 1x/day. Stat/HP rolls: 5 7 -1 7 2 0 Total: 20 pts = 10*6.5 + 11 + 9 = 85
Dotting for interest. But first, important question: Is it a problem for you if I've run this module before (and therefore am somewhat familiar with it)? I don't think keeping IC/OOC knowledge should be a problem, but I'd understand if you'd prefer someone who knows nothing about the game. If you're ok with that, I'd like to re-stat K'leck, my Shoanti human barbarian. He was in another game that got cut short. The basic idea behind him is that I want him to pick up enemies and use them to bludgeon other enemies. Or possibly throw one enemy at another (this can be accomplished through some of the barbarian rage abilities). The thing is, you can't really do that effectively until higher levels, and IIRC, 13 was about the level you need to be to have all the abilities. As far as personality, K'leck is a generally friendly guy who doesn't take life too seriously. He'll knock you out in a bar fight one day and buy you a drink the next.
Alas, and I never got the chance to start throwing people around. Oh wells. It was fun while it lasted. :-)
K'leck heartily pats Fleck on the back, grinning. "Is much better now. Thank you friend for shiny magicks." He seems in good spirits on the walk back to the tavern. Almost as though he's completely oblivious to how close he came to possible death just now. Once back at the tavern, he raises his mug happily in salute to their patron and great giver of tasty drinks. However, he chokes slightly when he sees the lizard creature. He frowns, glances a few times between his drink and the man/woman before him. He soon shrugs and downs the rest of his drink, a grin returning to his face. Must be knock on head. Or drink is actually better than it first appears. Should try more, just to be sure. After several more drinks, a very happy-looking K'leck takes his money and turns in for the night.
K'leck shambles over to the rest of the group, yawning widely. The crazed look has gone from his expression, but he's covered in a disturbing amount of zombie-gore. "Was good fight. Is time to drink to celebrate and then sleep, yes?" He then seems to notice the unconscious wizard. "Ha! Run-away man come back for nap! Perhaps was helped by punchy fists of dwarf friend Khron, eh?" He pats the dwarf on the back, though it seems to lack some of its usual vigor. "I carry him back to tavern for drinks as people make talky time with him, yes?" He pulls out rope and makes to start tying the wizard up, pausing before he gets too far. "Perhaps magicky peoples look for stick of teleporting, so he can't disappear again first?"
That's how I've played spell strike. But I believe that if you're right next to the person you're attacking when you cast the spell, you need to cast defensively or else you provoke an AoO. Also, if you deliver the spell with your weapon, while you get to do weapon damage, I believe it's no longer a touch attack.
How were we doing HP? Roll? Average? Max? Other?
With a growl, K'leck looks around for more zombies. Seeing none nearby he roars his triumph to the skies. In his muddled state, he doesn't realize the wolf off in the distance is an enemy and not just another of Flynn's animal friends. As his heart slows and the red clears from his vision, he feels a great tiredness overtake him and blinks a few times blearily, absently trying to wipe some of the gore off his clothes with little success. With a silly grin on his face, he starts wandering towards the rest of his party, his weaving path making him appear more drunk than all of his alcohol the previous night.
With a growl, K'leck advances on one of the remaining zombies and strikes out against it.
I'm fine with slow posting, so long as you get botted in combat/in places where you would otherwise hold things up.
Sorry to hear that Michael. Take care of yourself!
K'leck laughs hysterically as he sees his prey move closer towards him, managing to sound not quite fully sane.
Seeing more zombies approach him, K'leck gives a feral grin and moves to attack the nearest one.
Just a heads up, I will be traveling/at a conference from this Monday the 10th to the following Monday, Novemeber 17th. I don't know how much time/internet access I'll have during that period, so feel free to bot me.
Completely oblivious to the existance of some wizard controlling the zombies, K'leck growls and stalks towards the next unfortunately zombie to fall into his sights, lunging viciously with his spear.
Still feeling a mighty anger burning through his veins, K'leck roars and charges the closest zombie, striking at it with his spear.
With a great bellow of pain, K'leck's vision begins to swim. A red haze starts to cover his eyes, although in his still slightly addled state, he's unable to tell if it's due to the blood running from his head or due to his rising rage. Who was this stupid ogre who dared think he could stand up to the mighty K'leckemaki Mauna'kiola'ho'okuku'meakua of the revered Shriikirri-Quah? He would show the foul beast how it was done! None would stand before his might!
With a roar, K'leck surges forward, drawing a short spear to throw at the ogre.
Convinced that they will have some time to see any enemies attacking from the rear of the vault, K'leck runs to catch up with his fellows.
People are very far back for having moved already. I guess this means K'leck is spending his turn chillin'.
K'leck continues to act as rear guard, fully expecting the groaning from the back of the tomb to turn into an attack.
K'leck grips his spear, looking around uncertainly at the group. Seeing that Gotin is focusing on events outside, he chooses to instead focus his attention on the wall at the back of the room in case the wall suddenly opens.
K'leck quietly stows the crowbar and prepares to grab his spear. Well, that explain where big run-away man's buddy was. He glances back and forth between the groans from behind and the doorway through which the ogre can be seen.
K'leck continues to try to open the coffin.
"Is Count sure love even still in coffin? If run-away man responsible for zombie men and he live here, maybe woman already disturbed? Would Count know this thing? With magic maybe?" K'leck looks expectantly at the spellcasters, who must clearly have all the answers through their magical connection to the universe.
K'leck stretches and tosses the remains of his apple outside before pulling out a crowbar again to try to open the coffin. "Maybe Glifdore have other ideas of where to find disappearing man."
K'leck nods at Gotin's plan, still munching on his apple. He follows Ezra and Yorrick about, keeping a lookout for possible threats. "I wonder why he not come back with big, hulking troll friend. I bet he not run away."
K'leck blinks in confusion. "Where little man go? Is no fair teleporting away!" He looks around scratching his head.
Most likely failing to see anything, he looks at his companions expectantly, pulling out an apple to munch on.
K'leck continues to try to grapple the spellcaster.
K'leck moves forward and attempts to grapple Kathal.
K'leck jumps down from his tree with his spear, casually munching on an apple. While his two companions go to talk with the spellcaster, he starts casually walking about looking for signs of the ogre or troll that lives within the crypt.
Moving outside, K'leck looks around for a comfortable place to sit. Or maybe a tree to climb into. He then proceeds to take a relaxed, lounging position.
"I guess this means I should be staying inside." K'leck moves to sit on top of the coffin, prepared to do his waiting from there.
"Looks like someone lives here with an ogre or troll. Surprisingly clean for that, I think. But why people care so much about coffin? Is where troll-man's friend sleep?"
K'leck looks more closely at the oddly large footprints, trying to identify them.
K'leck nods and boldly goes where no Shoanti has gone before, lighting a torch if necessary.
Ahh, but you were the one who said it was suspicious. :-P Also, crowbar
"If no one has one, we could always buy one."
K'leck places the crowbar next to the lock and tries to heave.
And with a mighty heave, K'leck breaks the lock, managing to make it look easy. So easy that it's questionable that he even needed the crowbar.
You know, it occurs to me that I'm not actually sure why we're breaking into a mausoleum. Oh well, Int 10 and someone said he should.
K'leck starts bashing at the lock as he attempts to break it open.
K'leck also heads in the direction Gotin came from. Once there, he circles around the building, looking for any other entrances or exits or signs of people in the area. Once his sweep is complete, he moves to listen at the door.
"This seems to be only entrance. Shall I pick lock?" He pulls out a spear and makes a smashing gesture with its shaft.
Wiping sweat from his brow, K'leck looks closer at the coffin. "As expected: is empty." He peers more closely at it, looking for signs of a crowbar being using or of something clawing its way out.
Seeing nothing , he responds to Yorrick's question. "Maybe it is put back in grave to try to prevent more panic at dead uprising? Or to avoid angry family demanding creation of upstanding squad of soldiers like us to put loved one back to rest?" He kicks some dirt, clearly ready to start filling the hole back in. "Don't see point in looking at another grave. Unless your magicks tell you otherwise?" It's clear he has a rather fuzzy idea of how magic works.
That is possible. However I find that I don't really have any ideas for things to do. :/ *cries* I'm just supposed to look pretty and beat things up! I can't do ~thinking~ stuffs. :-P
K'leck frowns. "I think I agree with Ezra. I do not see point in digging up graves. What would we hope to find? It just seem like easy way to give mayor excuse to lock us up. Or is grave robbing not a crime down here?" Unlike Ezra though, his concern seems more practically oriented rather than morally so, and if others insist upon digging up the graves, then, not being one to stand idly by, he will help.
"I trust them less than that." The man grins. "Can throw them quite far." K'leck then walks over to one of the newly filled in graves to show the rest of the group. "Look here. It seems undead may have come out, and yet the grave is filled. What mean this thing? Is someone trying to cover this up? I saw hut where groundskeeper might live, but have seen no man. And the graves further back are much more overgrown than these ones here. If there is groundskeeper, he is not properly doing job."
