that is awesome. It was definitely a good group of writers and I also hope that at some point we are able to play again some time.

Same as the others just PM me if we decide to pick back up. I have a lot of issues going on at this time as well. you are a great DM
No worries Herk, strange illnesses are going around. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I second that as well herk.
Interesting. I did weigh in I just must have previewed it rather than submitted. I think we have a great group of people playing here and I love the game. I am also good with taking a bit of a break. As we all have noted there is a lot going on in all our lives. I am fine with a break as long as it is not too long. I have a martial arts tournament coming up on May 14th which is causing lots of extra hours of practice. That is the only thing I am excited about. If we were to take a break what is the timeframe that everyone is thinking. I dont think I would be able to still be in tune with my toon if we dropped until october personally. I would advocate for a month at most and then check back in with everyone.
Krokkin is really be led along by Sorogar as the reach the group, he doesn't really notice that he is smiling. As they talk about plans of what to do next, krokkin finds it difficult to focus and is not able to add to the conversation in any meaningful way. trying to focus and be in the moment he sorta blurts out quietly. I am pretty good that remaining unseen where do you want me? Only after saying it does he realize that he was looking at Sorogar the whole time and at her raised eyebrow, his cheeks flush and he looks down and away abashed.
hahaha I didn't know how to write it so I ran away. But it made the sneak a smack results more within Krokkin's character
well that escalated quickly. ;P
Walking at the front of the group and looking for danger ahead, Krokkin is startled and then a bit confused as Sorogar starts speaking from beside him. In all of his mental scenarios that have run over the last several hours nothing comes close to what happens next. As she moves in and plants the kiss his brain locks up for a second and then runs thru the following thoughts in a flash.
He tries a couple times to speak but all that comes out is I,... i,.. um. He then decides that since his private area is loudly announce its intentions no matter what his brain says, he grabs her by the back of the head and presses her down into a long passionate kiss. If she can be bold, then so can I. That is the last coherent thought that runs thru his head until the kiss ends.
At first as sorogar pulls him into the sky he tenses and his hands automatically clench givng Sorogar a death grip. His hackles raised and tail sticking straight out and rigid he howls in fright. The only reason he is not thrashing around and has his eyes open is that he truely does trust Sorogar enough to fight thru this fright. He sees the grimace on her face and realizes he is squeezing her hand. His instinctual response is to let go to which his brain immediately screams You Idiot, and he starts clawing at the air like he is trying to climb a tree. His brain cant even process as instead of falling he shoots forward ahead of Sorogar like he is in a race and running on all fours. he skids to a stop panting, wide-eyed, and tentatively steps to turn himself around to look at her. The first sight of her and the beaming smile on her face helps to calm him. While he doesn't take immediately to looking down and seeing the ground far below, or effortlessly floating thru the air he is soon enjoying himself. He tries to be close to her holding her hand and when he is the smile on his face is the broadest. Later in the evening as he is standing watch his eyes wander back to where she is sleeping almost of their own accord. His mind replays the event over and over, his minds eye noticing her smile and the touch of her hand.
what are you doing, there is no way she likes you in that way. You are reading things into something that is not there. with that he would turn away and watch the surrounding area only to have his eyes wander back and start all over again. Sleep is not much better for him and he wakes tired and in a bit of a depressed and sour mode. To everyone else he just seems more quiet than usual and his tail seems more agitated. Those that see him while he does not know he is being watched, see him every once in a while look at Sorogar when she is not looking at him and almost can see the turmoil of his mind in the way his tail twitches and his muscles tense and release. When approached he is a bit gruff and responds that he didnt sleep well.
after a minute or two he finally replies to her question. You fly now and teleport not only yourself but our whole group. Your power has grown so quickly. I don't know how I can protect you in up coming battles. Also the transporting does something to me inside and I don't feel right for hours afterwards.
There was a legend I heard as a youngling krokkin replies hesitantly. As he speaks his hesitation disappears as he is lost in the memories. Kunyis Vuslotha was one of our mightiest warriors. It was said that her prowess was unmatched. Her fury on the field of battle could turn battles. After many years of battle it was said that she could go into the thick of battle and feed off the battle to the point where she seemed to grow larger. The enemy would break within moments of her devastation. He pauses for a moment before continuing. I always assumed that she would go into a rage and that is what turned the tide. Now I wonder if she actually grew bigger. It was strange, I was tapped into my battle rage as usual and all of a sudden I found something like a dam holding my rage in check. I have run into this before but it never occurred to me until that fight that I could break thru it or what lay on the other side. I have been testing this new found ability out and while it is a wonderful it is also limited. For example I can not make myself larger if I am not already in a rage. I cannot make my self larger more than once a day, however I can only tap into my rage for a certain period of time, but I discovered that once I trigger this enlarged state I can hold it for about 10 minutes even if I am no longer enraged. There is much to think on, why is this happening to me, how can I use it for the good of the team, How does this knowledge help me to understand the riddle I was given, and How will this help my tribe when I return. Krokkin realizes that he has rambled on for quite some time.
I hear you. I have put in a crap ton of time outside of business hours this week. So tired.
Krokkin spends much of his time in the village practicing his skill with the new weapons to gain familiarity. He also accompanies Ohime on her walks thru the town using his nose to see if he can detect any enemies as well. Part of the reason for the intense and long hours of practice is to work out the fear and anxiety from the magic that Sorogar did to move them from where they were all the way back to the village in a blink. Krokkin was not prepared for this change and it cranked his anxiety to 11. He tried not to show it but moments after the spell had finished he became fluffy. Days later he still could not think about that moment without shuddering. From the tip of his ears to the end of his wildly whipping tail all his hair stood up on end. What made it worse was that he was wearing his armor and helm at the time and so only exposed areas could be seen. When they teleported out of town Krokkin was exhausted as he had worked himeself extra hard to make sure that he did not react the same way again. He also felt better knowing that he may not be the only point of interest if they teleport near people. Breks wings look really cool and definitely draw the eye of anyone who see them.
I will work on leveling tonight.
As he patrols his eye is drawn back to one particular item each time his eyes pass over the pile of items the Grig offered. After a little while he walks over and picks it up looking at it. Never really been one for wearing a helmet, probably wont fit. He puts on the helmet, checking his sight lines and moving his head slowly and then quickly in different directions, testing how it moves and how well the fit is. Surprisingly it fits really well. The following week of travel and downtime is very needed for Krokkin as he works extra hours practicing his fighting skills while wearing the helmet and even trying out the double chicken saber and the dwarven shield. After a few days of practice he decides to remove his quick draw shield and the 2 scimitars and replace them with the saber and the new shield. These were good weapons, but I fear that we will need more in the coming battle. He states this to no one in particular, just speaking as if he is letting the old weapons know that he is fond of them and that they have value but are not ready for the fight ahead. He adds them to the pile of gear they will be selling that he has helped pack the last couple of days.
In looking over all the gear that is here I will take the earth child Faceguard and the rest can be sold. I really like my shrinking greatsword and that negates the shields. If anyone needs gold to complete a crafting then I am willing to donate gold to the cause.
I will look this evening and let you know if I will take any of the gear. I do really like the Shrinking greatsword though.
Krokkin Eyes the items that were presented by the Grig. After a moment he turns to Sorogar and lets her know that he does not see anything that jumps out at him at the moment. Instead he makes slow circuits around the group like a sentry. His eyes and head are constantly moving as he patrols. So I have learned new skills with this fight, now to figure out when to use them and how often they work. It seems that I can now grow larger to suit my level of rage, I wonder how often I can do that. I will have to test it out.
these are some of the thoughts that he ponders while on patrol.
Krokkin wakes as Ohime is talking to the Grig. He keeps an eye on them but goes about the morning business. He cleans and cares for his blades and practices a bit to work out his sore muscles. His mind is focused on the battles from the day before and what happened. He spends some time pondering on how he got larger and remembers a story told to the younglings about one of their greatest warriors who could at times seem to be much larger than she should be. He had always counted that Legend as a myth as no one had been able to replicate the feat in hundreds of years. Today he goes over the storys with new understanding.
Seeing that his taunt does not affect his new prey, Krokkin turns, and with a mighty heave launches the corpse of the succubus toward the same location of the monster from their earlier fight. He looks down at his companions realizing that they are much smaller than normal. He then realizes that he is taller than he should be without drinking a potion. Those thoughts crash thru his brain with enough force to shock him out of his rage. The next moment his brain almost cannot handle the feeling that he is falling but still on the ground as he shrinks back down to his regular size. The shift plus the fatigue that hits is enough that he loses balance and falls hard into a sitting position. After Sorogar makes the creature go away krokkin lays down on the spot and asks, Who has first watch, cause I need a nap. He tries to hear the answer but exhaustion and sleep wash over him.
Do you want what is left of her? waving the body like a doll.
I just realized I was confusing myself on my rage counter so I re worded it and it is also now up to date.
Hey come back here Krokkin roars, reaching up to grab the succubus again.
I'm not done batting you around yet, he laughs. Krokkin momentarily glances toward the Nalfeshnee to make sure he is not surprised by the second foe.
Hey guys I have had a nightmare last 6 days. Things are getting better but I apologize if you are waiting on me. I am not sure whos turn it is.
Can we just use the attack on the next round. I believe that I would still need to make a CMB to maintain the pin but if it succeeds I believe I would still be able to attack right?
It was a lot of fun. The new form was amazing in its simplicity and high degree of difficulty at the same time. Also got to spar with people outside of my dojo which was also fun. Lots of things were going on there as well including the annual Fireworks demonstration and Rock-a-Billy. All in all it was a great time.
AOO if accepted:
As the succubus begins to fly up Krokkin mutters the word to shrink the sword while reaching up with his other hand grabbing the Succubus around the waist and slamming it into the ground. Where do you think you are going? He asks as he pins her to the ground.
Current round if she is pinned:
Attack
If I did not grapple the succubus: Bring it down here I want to hit something, Krokkin says and transforms the sword back into the Great Sword and sets up to swing it like a bat when the succubus gets in range. Ready Action
Hello I am back. Just got home and am catching up and posting now.
seems like paizo was down for a while today. Heads up I will be most likely not able to post much from 2/17 thru 2/21. I am attending a martial arts retreat.
Krokkin readies for his next attack and the world shifts, he can see the succubus chanting and knowing that he should attack but strange sounds come from behind and above him. He turns to see warped versions of his companions coming toward him. The thought hits him that they are all Rakshasa and have used this moment to reunite with their leader and turn on him. He sets himself to attack letting the rage flow thru him. As he decides that the flying one should be put down first, another sensation ripples thru him and all he sees are his friends. He hesitates for a moment as his mind plays back the moment when he saw the Succubus start casting a spell. With a roar he spins and attacks the Succubus with all his fury. Greatsword Attacks (Raging Bard Song +5):
Stay out of my mind! The raging river seems to be building in his mind to new levels as the little part of his mind that stays rational begins to become angry as well. Suddenly the rage in his mind bursts like a damn and his body ripples. His muscles ripple like waves and increase in size as he gets taller. In moments he is twice as tall as he was, panting savagely.
I guess I dont roll well against dominate, haha.
Here is the will save if I needed to roll one
thanks for the note on the bard song. I have adjusted my attack block so it will be correct moving forward.
Krokkin's response to Sorogar's words is to whisper to the dagger in his hand, and charge attacking the Succubus directly. He strikes twice in quick succession but resists the temptation to dive into the river of rage, instead wanting to see how the battle progresses before cranking things up a notch.
Greatsword Attacks (Bard Song):
Hey everyone I am back. Yeah that was an adventure. Had to quarantine for 3 days in Orlando Florida before I could fly home to the west coast. Got in about 1 am this morning. All good though. I would not change that trip for anything. Sorry to hear about the test herk, and yes I will try to remember to give you a heads up next time I have a layover in your area.
Well I guess a break works. I just didn't want to hold up the game. Hope you all have a good week and we will see you at the end of the month.
Couple of things I wanted to throw out. In Game:
Other News:
Ohimes song passses over Krokkin and his fur almost ripples momentarily, like a good yawning stretch. He grins letting his teeth show. Ah now for the fun part, he says as he tosses his pack to the ground.
Krokkin affects a yawn as the Succubus screams and then winks at her comment about hiding a team member. His tail flicks slowly from side to side but to those who know him there is a bit of intensity in the flick as it changes direction. I will need to take out one of them quickly and I think it will be her. Then to deal with the big guy. This will be a fun fight. I agree with you Ohime, I think she is lying and is just trying to get close so she can attack first. I may get bored with the verbal sparring and take matters into my own hands soon. As the thoughts are running thru his head he begins to flex an stretch.
Krokkin continues his easy stance wiggling the dagger like he is thinking of throwing it at the succubus. Time for the main event. I was beginning to think you would not comeKrokkin taunts the creature. I sure hope we are almost done with fighting, this is more tiring than feast day games.
Krokkin feels the healing pass thru his body as he pulls the dagger out of the ground, but is confused momentarily to see the prey was also healed. He prepares to launch again as he hears Sorogar from above him. Krokkin stumbles as he looks up and sees her floating in the air. wait, you can fly he says slowly. And you can talk to these beasts. You are full of surprises. He grins twirling the dagger and affects a nonchalant pose seemingly at ease in the middle of what to this point has been an effective kill circle. After Brek finishes speaking Krokkin turns to the sitting hound.
Krokkin howls as he falls, as the last two attacks are finishing he shrinks the Great sword and rolls into a crouching position and springs forward at the wolf that he thinks tripped him. He attempts to bury the dagger in the wolf but the creature dances to the side causing him to miss and bury the dagger in the ground Great Sword attack (Regular) Skrinking stab expansion.
attack:
I have adjusted my health from 92 to 77. When I changed the stat line to my regular non enhanced stats I forgot to update the health to the current amount. All better now. I am glad that I got those low rolls out of my system now, Crossing fingers.
Krokkin's grin widen's as he hears the Wolves howl and snap. Even though he does not know what they said he imagines them taunting him weakly. As the pack attackes him, he dances out of the way almost nonchalantly. Realizing that he is standing in the middle of the group he growls in triumph, I will make quick work of you so I can kill your master! He transforms the dagger leaping at the beast to his right focusing his attack on one. whittle their numbers down one at a time. I don't even need to get angry for this fight and I should save it for their master. Greatsword Attacks (Regular):
