Kylia's page

Kylia steps out of the gate and draws back her bow, offers a prayer to erastil, and lets her arrow fly. "Old Deadeye, guide my shot"

move to P23 taking a shot at the fleeing bandit. 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Kylia will drop down to ground level and move to block the bandits escape as a double move. If one of them gets out of the fort before she moves, she will take a shot with her bow 1st.

looks golod on my end. Kylia will be keeping watch and alert the others when she sees the bandits approach.

perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

sense motive 1d20 ⇒ 6

"It seems this road is well enough traveled, out tracks are well blended in with the regular traders. Seems the only cover around is this fort. The front ballista towers offer an excellent place to hide and spy their approach. If they all enter the fort, I could drop a rope down and get behind them. Caltrops would be handy to make sure they don't flee too quickly. " Kylia inspects the ballista and tower, looking for a good place to anchor a rope and to see if there is nayway to improve upon her hiding spot.

hearing Svetlana's tale of her stolen wedding ring, Kylia approaches her. "By my bow or sword, they will pay for what they have done, and we will find your ring."

Kylia listens as the other talk of their plans, running the scene through her mind several times.

"You once asked how i propose we become the hunter and not the prey. let us leave no sign of our arrival, I will try to cover our tracks, keep the horses out of sight, and have Oleg and Svetlana act like nothing has changed. The bandits are not expecting resistance, and their overconfidence will cost them dearly. I would also lay in hiding outside the fort, to attack from behind when the time comes. "

kylia calls to oleg, Good sir, a question about these bandits. Do they come on horseback and do they bring a cart with them for the goods they take? "

Is there nay tree or brush cover outside the fort that could serve as a good hiding spot? Would a survival check be used to try and cover our tracks? "

As the enter the fort, Kylia dismounts and leads her horse. At mention of the bandits she speaks up. "Have they been troubling you much lately? Any infomation you could give us on these bandits would prove helpful."

"Then let us be the hunters, and not the prey. You speak of strength, but it is not always the strongest hunter that wins the day. Beasts and bandits know little of honorable combat."

ironic considering how strong she is.

Kylia shakes her head at the antics of the "boys". I just hope they are more useful in battle

" When i was younger, my father made trips to Oleg's to trade. When we moved, he found closer places to trade and as far as i know, hasn't been back there in over 10 years."

Memories of her childhood and times spent learning woodcraft from her father flood her mind, and she grows silent and thoughtful.

can't wait for animal companion to make scouting less lonely :)

So looks like...
riding 2x2 with me scouting and single file only when necessary.

Watch rotation...

1-Lothar
2-Calinder
3-Gorguk
4-Kylia
5-Barnabus

As the men who would be her new companions spoke, Kylia could hear her fathers voice Watch and learn my daughter, see how they move, and the eyes, the eyes tell all. He had taught her well, I'm ready she tells herself. Takign a deep breath she addresses the group. "I doubt we will eat this well for many nights."

As gorguk speaks, her hands instinctively cluth the handmade holy symbol beneat her her tunic. "I just hope old deadeye will be keeping watch over us. Our destination is a wild land. We will need all the help we can get."

Mounting hector, her fine black stead, Kylia moves to the front of the group. [b]"We wont reach Oleg's till tomorrow, meaning we'll be camping under the stars tonight. The more ground we cover today

I think she will prefer to be upfront while we are traveling. menaing any suprises, she'll be in harms way. If soemthign tips us off as to danger, She'd make way fro the paladin up front and knock an arrow.

Kylia i more lone wolf than average but not completly. she's just used to being in the woods alone. She's good as a scout or covering our backsides.

1> combat. She prefers to use her bow forcing her prey into one of 2 options. Either a defensive position where gthey have little chance of harming her or a more foolish option is they cklose to melee range and she makes them pay with the large sword on her back.

2. Social.,. She's not. More used to solitude and nature, she studies those she meets not easily trusting but a fierce companion. She has soem useful survival and physical skills.

Soemthing about Gozreh just doesn't sit right, partly i just don't like the name. Erastil seems the other excellent choice for a ranger, so that is what i will go with.

any suggestions on a good deity for a ranger. still getting used to pathfidner pantheon. Looking for a good nature type deity

I'm surprised at some of my bad math, good catch. doh, forgot to include armor check, but you caught it.

i will add gear for the horse.

edit; went with reactionary as the other trait.

thats an interesting question, i fear it will be the latter

Thats what i should have asked. is it an in game check or is it somehting she would have already done.

I think she's ready...

EDIT: QUESTION, If she takes the pioneer trait, how should i handle tricks for the horse. I'd like to train the horse for combat riding.

sorry internet trouble but im back. will finish the character tomorrow

Thanks, that makes sense now.

As far as the house ruling goes, I'm not sure i understand correctly. Is it all ability scores start at 10 except for 1 that starts at 8? GE is not an abbreviation i'm familiar with sry.

I'll throw my hat in.
