*Kpu'Unde's page

I am posting this to all of my games, so apologies if you see this multiple times:

Unfortunately, I have some bad news.

A combination of work-related stuff has lead to me having to take some time off from the forums. I am, in all honesty, going to need to be gone for several months, as I am going to be travelling for extended periods of time (weeks or more) and I'll likely not have good access to the internet.

As I am not someone who would want to have you all sit and wait for me here, I am going to be withdrawing/closing all of my open forum games.

I want to thank everyone who I have had the pleasure to game with over the last couple of years here, as I have immensely enjoyed my time on the forums, and hopefully, once my work stabilizes, I will be able to rejoin the community.

Thank you again for your time and energy, and I am sorry that I won't be able to keep things moving forward in any of the games that I am running.

"Kpu'Unde. And I have some matter of arcane power."

"You may call me Kpu'Unde." offers the tall Mwangi man.

As the group is walking towards the Town Hall, Kpu'Unde suddenly states, rather loudly in a voice that sounds like a much older version of himself, "Though green she may be, she serves not the Mother."

Blinking twice, he continues, seemingly unaware of his outburst.

So I am posting from work:
Apologies about not posting sooner, but I have been down internet wise for roughly a week, and will not have internet back up yet for a week or so.
This means that I haven't had internet for the last 4 days (as we had 4 days off at my work for the holiday).
It's been...an experience where I learned that I use the internet more than I thought I did.
With all of that being said, I will try to post from work as I can, but if I am in your game, please bot me as needed.
If I am running your game, please bear with me while I try to post when I can. Hopefully, sooner than better, but I want to be up front about this issue.
again, I apologize about the delay.

Kpu'Unde follows the man, clearly curious to see the interaction.

Quitely, Kpu'Unde says "I believe this man is a fool who will lead us astray."

Welcome!

"I had thought it long your quest to stand in the square and preach about your evil god. Have you expanded your role to hag hunting?"

Back now.

Posting this to all my games, so sorry if you see it multiple times:

This week both my office and I personally are going to be moving. It's been crazy busy and I am not going to be able to post until Monday at the earliest. Please bot me if I am in your game, and if you are in a game I am running, I will get a post up as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

"I wonder if it was she I saw before." says Kpu'Unde to no one in particular.

Earlier:

"My family comes from the M'wangi expanse."

Kpu'Unde focuses his senses on the magical auras in the area, hoping for a better understanding.

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Likewise.

"My name is Kpu'Unde, and I am glad to have lent a helping hand, but I require no thanks. I was simply doing what I was raised to do." said the tall Mwangi man with a nod of his head.

"We should probably return to town for now and rest up, then head out in the morning. Darkness only favors our enemies."

Kpu'Unde clasps Dusk Bloom on the shoulder and says "Well handled."

As none of his companions needed assistance getting into the fray, Kpu'Unde used his concentration to pull the downed man out of the battle, teleporting him to the opposite side of his area of control.

Someone want a teleport so they can attack with their standard action?

Kpu'Unde withholds his opinion on splitting up for now.

"We should start by trying to get everyone together in a central location, then deal with the attacks as they come. Perhaps the new church?"

"I am not from here." said the Mwangi man.

In response to Nerak's question, Kpu'Unde says "My name is Kpu'Unde, student of the Master of Time and Space."

"We should also look for a leader, perhaps a Druid of some stripe; Plants do not tend to attack settlements out of the blue...unless this settlement has done something untowards to the wrong tree, that is."

"Of course." says Kpu'Unde to the request, flinging Nerak through space/time to land in position. I can teleport him anywhere within close range of me, so set him up where it would be advantageous for him.

Seeing the danger these creatures possess, Kpu'Unde chooses to use his magic to help the guards withdraw from combat. He moves closer than targets the worse injured of the two guards, saying "We will deal with these creatures. Please go help others in need!"

Calling down his magic, the man appears on the far side of Kpu'Unde.

Using Ranged Teleport to teleport him 25' on the others side of me (basically I will be between him and the creatures, and he will be 50' from where he was before I teleported him).

Kpu'Unde is a Master of Time and Space in training.

"It's entirely possible they hid in the wagon that brought in the Moths." says Kpu'Unde as he begins moving towards the sounds of combat.

"While it is possible, perhaps we should continue our discussion while we move to help those in need?"

such is life!

Standing, the Mwangi man bows to the group. "Thank you for your assistance. I am still alive thanks to your quick actions. I see now why I was brought here." he says, not elaborating on the final point.

"My name is Kpu'Unde, and I believe that we should band together to stop these plant creatures from harming others. What say you?"

I was pretty confident that Diplomacy was out of bounds when I made my initial check; I just didn't want to start by attacking, and given that he is training to be the guardian of the timeline, he will likely not want to murder anyone, on the off chance that their death changes the future.

Ya, but I'm staggered as well.

The Mwangi man rises then once again pleads for peace, saying "Please, is there no way that we can resolve this without violence?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 15

No worries. 0 hp means I can at least try and protect myself, as opposed to being a snack like before.

I am indeed at -6, although with Estria's salve I am now at 0.

Kpu'Unde had been standing in the back of the crowd, wishing only to observe events, when the attack came. What was that earlier then? he thought to himself, before moving into action.

Kpu'Unde's master was not the undisputed lord of time and space for nothing, however.

Stepping forward, Kpu'Unde appeared in 15' away from the wagon, though it was clear that he was reacting differently than the crowd. I am spending a SP to increase the range of my teleport.

"Please, cease your assaults. We can resolve this as civilized beings." he said, his voice clear and calm.

Kpu'Unde blinked hard a couple of times then looked around, reacquainting himself with his surroundings.

Visions never come in a simple manner. he thought to himself, then chuckled at his own joke, which drew an odd look from one of the townsfolk near him.

Perhaps this gathering? Kpu'Unde thought to himself.

My condolences on your dog.

Kpu'Unde enjoys the food, eating it with great relish. The tall Mwangi man has several plates of it.

Unable to determine what has drawn him here, Kpu'Unde makes his way to the center of town and begins looking for a bar where adventurers gather. If the legends were correct, that was the best way to discover the threads of fate.

How does a dragon rust? Kpu'Unde thought to himself as he entered the tavern, the top of his head just shy of the door frame.

Kpu'Unde spent time just walking around the town, taking in the sights and walking a perimeter of the area to see if he can pinpoint the exact danger. So far, however, he was not having much luck.

I'll take a look at it. I know Protection is on my list of Spheres to get, but I don't amember that particular ability.

I am fine with you changing things. I think most of us have at least partially played Rise.

Kpu'unde listened to the speeches, and made no comment. While he knew that something of historic note was going to happen, what that thing might be was currently eluding him.

In many ways, the massive man stood out of place, at least a foot taller than most people around him, with a build that suggested more lean muscle than brawn.

While he did not seem to be paying attention, even he caught himself smirking at one thing the major said or another.

updated mine on the google sheet as well.

BTW, I did take channel positive energy, but thematically it's more like I'm resetting people's bodies back to previous uninjured states; I had 2 spec points left over afterwards and figured I should be able to bring my own healing as well.

I'm probably going to also take some of the vision options for Divination too. It was on my list of stuff to take eventually, but re-reading spheres made me realize I needed it now.

...---...

Okay, I have most of my character stuff built. I did go ahead and take divination, cause after rereading the warp rules, I realized that I needed to be able to see places I was going to teleport to prevent taking damage, even with unseen teleport.

I'll write it up in full later, but the short-form version of my character's background is that he's the student of a line of magical casters who specialize in protecting the timeline from incursions things that would destroy it or alter it too much against the natural flow of this universe.

Much like the Sith, there is only ever a master and (when the master's time is near) a student. The original caster was one of Jetembe's disciples, the 13th warrior (pun fully armed and operational).

While he knows that *something* that will disrupt the timeline is building in the area around Sandpoint, he has no idea what.
