Leroy Quabb's page

Sorry, I posted the other comment just so I wouldn't forget.

After returning to the trading post Leroy approaches Oleg, "Oleg good friend, I have a couple things I need to talk to you about. First, I am going to be hosting a boxing tournament in my new ring in the coming days, I just want to make sure you have no major objections to this. Second, I have lived with my blessing for sometime and I'm not sure if it is something I always wish to have. Next time your order a shipment of supplies as the runner to pick me up something that can cure my condition. Thank you for your help friend."

After speaking with Oleg, Leroy sets out and starts creating some signs advertising that a boxing tourney will be held in 5 days (he writes the actual date). The winner will receive a 50gp purse, paid out of Leroy's funds of course, and the registration fee will be 5gp a person. He hangs them up around Oleg's and begins to prepare the ring and informs Tathar that their may be an influx of customers. Leroy will also advertise the event to anyone that he meets as they travel to and from the trading post.

After gimping away in defeat and shame from the Staglord's fort Leroy stops and collapses in exhaustion. Looking around he begins to realize that all may be lost, although dull Leroy figures that the place where he has left Orhan most likely is the place his missing comrades are as well.

After sitting in despair for several hours Leroy gets an excited look on his face and shouts in the air, "The Kobolds will help!" With a renewed vigor Leroy puts all of his effort into shifting into wolf form and makes as fast as he can for the Kobold's cave. Once he reaches their cave he again focuses his efforts into shifting, this time into hybrid form.

Entering their cave Leroy asks to see the leader (asked by name but I can't remember it right now). Once Leroy is given an audience with him, Leroy informs him of what has happened and lets him know that he is sure is friends are being held captive there. Once he is done Leroy asks if the Soot-scales could spare several men for the assault on the Staglord's fort. (He uses enhanced diplomacy of course).

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

I will leave it their until I know how many men, if any, the Soot-scales give me.

As Leroy walks off he thinks to himself that it might take some time to build an arena on his own, so Leroy figures he could always ask for some help. Immediately after speaking to Oleg, Leroy searches the trading post for Kesten. When he finally finds him Leroy casts Enhanced Diplomacy on himself and then approaches Kesten:

"Kesten, how are you?" This time Leroy waits for a response, "Since we cleared out the small bandit camp a couple days ago I figured it should be pretty quite around her for a bit. So I was wondering if I could borrow one or two of your men for a couple days. I'm working on a project that should help boost morale around here and I need some help making it. It wont be anything dangerous like what Zavier is doing over there..." as he motions towards the lab Zavier is constructing. "But it should really raise everyones spirits and give us something to do in our free time."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Regardless of wether or not Leroy is able to get Kesten to lend him some men he stops by Tathar's to let him know that he plans to make an arena next to his place. He lets Tathar know that it wont be anything to big, just a place to let people blow off some steam and get a bit more traffic to the trading post (and Tathar's Brewery) if the fights prove to be popular.

MJ, how long will it take me to make the arena? Because hopefully he can get it done pretty quick if he has help from Kesten's men. I'm picturing a boxing ring surrounded by a row or two of benches, with everything covered by an awning to give some protection from the elements (but not enclosed).

Edit: Leroy asks Kesten for one or two of his best builder/engineers. Also, the ring only as to be an elevated platform and it can get nicer depending on how this develops.

Casually walking up to Oleg with Orhan in tow Leroy gives Oleg an over the top greeting, "Oleg old pal, how are you?" Leroy continues to speak before Oleg even has a chance to respond, "Thats great to hear! So, I've been thinking, your place has been getting more and more crowded between the increase in traffic and..." as he looks around, "the soldiers and others we tell to come here for safety. BUT... there is nothing to do here except drink at Tathar's bar. And we know what happens when people drink and have nothing to do... they break stuff and hurt people. Thats why I've come up with a plan!"

Paying no attention to Oleg, whom I assume is extremely worried at this point, Leroy proceeds to describe his idea, "I'm going to set up a boxing ring right next to Tathar's place so that people can take out any pent up aggression in safe, controlled environment. The best part is that you don't have to worry about a thing! I'll take care of everything and all you have to do is watch as you get more customers as the fights get more popular! I just wanted to let you know what I was doing so you didn't get upset or anything... well take care good friend!" After finishing the conversation Leroy walks away from Oleg without waiting for his response.

So MJ, I have a bit more planed for this but I will wait to see how this plays out first before continuing on with what I'm doing. If you need any rolls from me at this point just let me know and I will give you some.

As people pass by the tent that is acting as a makeshift store front Leroy invites people in to have a look at the wears. When ever someone comes in Leroy immediately goes into his obviously preprepared speech.

"Greetings, good Sir and/or Madam welcome to my humble shop. Here we offer two things. One! The finest Alchemical Items to ever grace the green belt right under this tent, crafted by one of the finest Alchemists for all time! I present to you..." looking around the room for something to show case "Vermin Repellent so strong that bugbears steer clear! Ah, and how could I have forgotten about these!" as Leroy reaches for the incense "Sticks of incense so grand the Gods themselves weep when they get their scent." Finally setting the incense down and rubbing his hands together, "And Second! The best healing you've ever had thats not from a bottle. You Sir and/or Madam look a bit under the weather, I could heal you up in a jiffy for a minimal fee!"

Then looking down at his pocket before they can respond leroy pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket, barely concealed from the customers and starts to murmur the words to himself, "Good Sir and or Madam, Vermin Repellent, Incense, healing and... thats it." Shoving the paper back in his pocket he redirects his attention to his customers, "So what would you like today?"

Ass I said earlier I use Enhanced Diplomacy anytime someone approaches.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
D6: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hearing the egg hiss Leroy and Orhan stare at the egg for several minutes until finally Leroy turns to Orhan and asks "Do you think that was a good hiss or a bad hiss?" Turning back to the egg Leroy mutters to himself "Oleg sure wont like this if it was a bad hiss..."

After returning to the Oleg's and speaking with the newly arrived cleric, Leroy retreats to Zavier's Lab where he gathers one of the Centipede eggs. He then takes it to the stables and begins to pray over it for the rest of the night. Leroy prays to Gozreh, asking him to bring minimal sentience (1 Int) to this Vermin that it may be used to assist Leroy in protecting nature and all of its blessings. In the morning, after praying for the entire evening, Leroy rests.

Once rested Leroy speaks to Zavier to see if he is interested in providing alchemical goods so that Leroy may try and sell them. After Zavier agrees, Leroy searches Oleg's for a piece of wood that he can use as a sign to advertise the healing and alchemical services. Leroy ventures just outside the walls and sets up his tent and attaches the sign to it just opposite the guards encampment. Leroy sets any goods that Zavier brings him inside the tent and invites any passerby's into the tent (preferably using diplomacy if possible) to view the wears (when there are some) or offers them healing services.

Leroy will not mark up any prices and attempts to sell all goods and services at fair market value (ie. the costs listed in the books for the associated prices).

Also, for the Giant Centipede I'm looking for enough Int so that it can be trained (essentially acting like a purchased riding dog or guard dog, not an Animal Companion).

MJ, just let me know if you need me to make any rolls.

Give me all the lvl 2 HP!

Leroy: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Orhan: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Sorry for the delay but here are my Sense Motive checks:

Leroy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9
Orhan: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

After hearing about the Kobols Leroy looks at Orhan to see if he thinks that anything is fishy about his story (because Orhan has a better sense for this stuff then Leroy). However, Orhan just sits quietly listening to Oleg un-phased by anything that was said. Trusting his loyal companion Leroy thanks Oleg for his assistance and proceeds to inform his companions about the other jobs while Oleg speaks with Tathar.

Intrigued, Leroy responds "What kind of help are you looking for? Also please forgive the man, I don't believe he is completely right in the head. He means well, I think..." Leroy then looks down at the smashed squirrel brain on the ground, "He just doesn't know how to show it like normal people."

Okay, I am going to roll HP for my wolf.
HP: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Edit: I love how that worked out perfectly for average...
