Lies's page

I’m afraid I have some disappointing news for all of you. I have come to the decision to drop all of my pbp games. It’s not that I do not enjoy these games, or that I have a problem with any one in particular (after all I am posting this message in each of the pbp games that I am in) but I feel that I need to have more time to spend on other projects. I have enjoyed the time that I have spent with all of you, and hope that I am not putting anyone at too much of an inconvenience, but this is the decision that I have arrived at. I apologize for my spurts of inactivity, and hope that you all enjoyed the time I spent in these groups – even if they may have been brief.

Best of luck to all of you, and may the dice gods have mercy on us all.

"Perhaps he simply ran away. It seems odd that he is no where to be seen." Lies contemplates.

Sorry, I'm here, just been watching in the shadows.

Lies is already leveled at this point in time.

How do we determine how many hit points we get for leveling?

Can I use that Disable to pick the lock then? If not, I'll take 10 for 18.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Disable: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Lies will check the chest for traps, magical or otherwise, and then if she finds any will attempt to disarm them.

I didn't move Lies, because I'm not certain which room is Rohkar's.

I'm here.

My daughter and I have tonsillitis, if it becomes necessary, please bot me.

Dagger;Prone: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 4 = 201d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Confirm: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 4 = 201d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Lies attacks the man close to the bench from under it, and then moves, trying to stay hidden.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Opps, sorry, I kept forgetting to post.

Dagger;Prone: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 4 = 161d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Lies will swing her dagger at the ankles of the man to the north of her, and then silently move to the other end of the table.
I'm not entirely sure I can move that far while prone, let me know if that's too far.

I believe we're waiting on the DM.

This cabin really isn't made for stealth :(

Lies moves into the room behind Raseri, and drops prone under the table. The table gives cover and thus should allow me to stealth.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 5 = 18

Ready!

Lucine moves jumps up on the piles of wood on the side of the cabin and tries to peek in through the window.

Perception (Lucine): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Lies moves to check the window by the front door.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

You should be able to ride either of the wolves, if that's what you are asking, assuming the wolf lets you.

Moved Lies/Lucine

With the crossbow trap disarmed, Lucine quietly scurries off, with Lies following a short distance behind, both trying to remain quiet and unseen as they approach the building.

Lucine Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Disable (Lucine);aid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Disable Device Take 10: 10 + 8 + 2 = 20

Being informed of the trap, Lies attempts to find and disarm it.

"I'm likely quiet enough, but if I do get caught, I'm likely done for...Lucine on the other hand will attract less attention." Lies looks at Lucine, letting her know to sneak around a bit. Lucine quickly scurries off.

Lucine stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

And Lies follows closely behind, far enough to have advanced warning from her fox, but close enough to come to it's aid if necessary.

Lies stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Those rolls though...

My daughter and I both have colds, the cold weather isn't always so kind to her, even though it never snows here (California central Valley, our winters rarely even get to freezing, even at night).

Anyway, Lies is ready to go.

My understanding is that interrupted means interrupted by stenrous activities, I.e. combat.

"I'd have preferred a warm bed, but I slept well enough. " Lies comments.

Lies looks over at Raseri and answers, "You'd be surprised."

She then gestures to Lucine who scurries back over to the young girl.

Lucine was not used to anyone being wary around her, standing on her hind legs and looking up at Blaize curiously, the fox begins to dance.

Perform (dance): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"Lucine, don't try to steal anything now." Lies tells her familiar as it begins to act a little odd. "Gnomes are very peculiar about their belongings."

How did I get stuck playing baby sitter? Lies wonders to herself as she looks over the captives, leading them closer to the fire. Lucine, a small white fox, then jumps out of the girl's shirt, getting closer to the fire and checking out the Gnome.

"Lucine, don't get too close to that fire now, even if the gnome doesn't burn, you will." Lies warns her fox, yet the creature still seems curious of the gnome.

Fancy cupcakes eh? Lies would be likely to let Lucine help her, resulting in fur on whatever she worked on.

Of course she smells like fox, she has a little fox running around inside of her clothes half the time.

Lies grew up on an entirely different continent, and hasn't been in Heldren long, I think I originally said about a week or so.

More importantly, no one in Heldren knows or likely even suspects that Lies isn't human.

You might think that the answer is obvious, but there's almost certainly somebody who's ready to argue the other angle.

Lies and slander!

Perhaps slander is, but I am not ready.

Blaize's backstory seems more focused on the lava gnome subrace then the individual, but I have no problem with it.

I only wish Blaize's name was red instead of green.

No worries, it's the holidays, I'm sure we're all a little busier anyway. In my case, my daughter is off school until next year.

My only complaint right now on the sorcerer would be the color of the name, I'm a real stickler for that.

Although, a fire elemental bloodline sorcerer does kinda go against the themes of RoW (though it could be effective).

Looks like Black Dow is making a witch now.

Fox said something came up and then didn't post again...

I made a comment on the recruitment last night, perhaps Dow will consider another class, as I don't believe that a 16 int diminished casting 6/9 caster (less spells per day then Tobias) is what we need.

Perhaps we should consider opening up the recruitment, but that'll likely mean more work for 1 spot.

Igna, while your character looks like a good match for Reign of Winter, I'm not certain it's a good match for our group, which currently consists of the following: a Hunter (Tobias), an Unchained Rogue (myself), an Oracle, and a Barbarian, we additionally have two animal companions, and a familiar (mine). Sure, out of the seven of us we have a combined BAB of +3, and 2 of that is coming from animal companions, but everyone in the group is already 3/4 BAB or better.

To quote our GM's original recruitment

*-Not a guideline per sey, but I tend to like a complete party: A front lines fighter (doesn't have to be the class), a skill monkey, a healer, and a Magic user.

We have three of those roles covered, the role we're missing is Magic user, magus is typically more of a 5th man role.

It wouldn't be so bad if I went for arcane trickster, but I'm not built for that, my stats are all wrong for one.

Now, I wouldn't be opposed to a martial caster, but for our group, Eldritch Knight might be better than Magus...

As far as the one character that has been posted, it's a bit of an odd choice for an arcane spot, considering is not a full caster, and they took an archetype that reduces their daily spells.

I'm alive, just been busy watching my daughter, who thankfully is feeling better.

Just wanted to let everyone know that my autistic toddler has bronchitis, and this'll likely effect my posting capabilities for the rest of this week.

I don't believe I'm familiar with any of those players, so any of them work.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Lies chuckles slightly, but says nothing as she hears the bandits talk between themselves.

"It makes little difference if they come with us to me, as long as they stay where I can see them." Lies chimes in, she preferred to be the one sneaking up on others rather then the one being surprised after all.

"A warm meal sounds pleasant. Lucine is looking a bit cold too." Lies adds, as her familiar peaks out of her shirt.

Sorry, long weekend.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d8 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Reloading her crossbow, Lies takes another shot at the skeleton, even as it steps away.

9/10 HP

Lies takes a 5 foot step away from the skeleton, loads her crossbow, and fires.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 2 = 61d8 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

However, the shot goes wide, missing the skeleton completely.

Oh, I see it now.

Wasn't Mable still next to Lies at the end of the turn? I don't see any skeleton near Lies. Though it does look like one of the skeletons is missing.

Not wanting to get too close to the skeletons, Lies takes out her crossbow, aiming at one of them. From the map, my best bet is to shoot at the top left one.

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d8 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6

"I was afraid this would happen." Lies says in a very unsurprised voice as she peeks out of the cave, holding her dagger. Then looking back inside she asks the other bandits, "So would you rather fight with us, or against us?"

The man that had been taken outside didn't look like a witch to Elizabeth, but then, she had very little understanding of what a witch did look like.

"Who are you afraid of?" She couldn't help but ask.

Welcome, look forward to playing with you.
