Wait, why does Loris want to attack Zeke? What did Zeke ever do to Loris? That Loris is a real douchebag.
"You remind me too much of the halfling bullies I grew up with."

Loris sighs. He's a firm believer in taking care of ones self and does not feel as though Grau deserves the help after defiling himself in drink... But, respects the decision of others to help him. "You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up. He says, as he continues to eat his meal at the normal pace.
Loris response last night to Ryder's Question... "I agree. Some of this obviously belonged to someone. I bet they would appreciate having it back. He looks at the ring specifically... This might be stolen, or if this, "Emmah", was someone Gaedren killed, I'm sure their loved ones would like to know what happened. Either way, I'd be willing to try.
Loris wakes up, performs his daily prayers, preps some spells, and heads down to meet the rest of the party. "Well, it certainly doesn't look as bad as last night. Anybody else hungry? If Yes: Loris suggests we go find something to eat. If No: Loris says, "Well I guess I can find something quick on the road, whats the plan?
"I guess we'll have to wait out the storm. My gut tells me that once this all blows over, things will calm down a little. Loris then goes off to find himself a place to lay down for the night, doing his best to drown out the sounds of rioting in the streets. There is a bed available, but he's spent so much of his life sleeping in the trees and wilderness that he prefers not to use them.
Loris tries to identify #18 and #20
Then turns to attempt to assist the person with the highest appraise check (Probably "New" Ralof) All at a -2 for intelligence :)
"Perhaps we can use this place as a base of operations for the meantime? I wonder if there is a key here?
A quick look around the room reveals no keys. He thinks about it a little bit. Did we find any keys at the Fishery? Loris helps Ryder Barricade the door after finding Zellaras key on Yargins key-ring and locking the door. He then turns his attention to the loot collected... "Lets identify these items
Loris says, "I understand the sentiment Ryder, but under the circumstances I'd rather we just get out of here." "I agree with Ralof. Let's head on back to Zellara's It couldn't be her.. it has to be someone else... Right?" He then heads for the door.
Loris free action drops the table behind him, which falls into the pit below. He then uses a swift action to maintain his Enlarged status. He uses a move action to attempt to lift the table in front of Gaedren..
With his Standard action he swings the table itself at Gaedren.
Gaedren now has no table in front of him.. I have no way of editing the table out of the map since it is part of the background image, but there is no table there. The table that is left is represented by the blue bar.
Loris takes a free action to tells Ralof to take a step to his right (up on the map) He will then HOLD his action until after Ralof Moves and attacks (You can still attack gaedren from this position) If he does, the map looks like this: MAP (I'm still in the corner from my last move) Then on his turn.... Gaedren Still Alive:
Loris drops his spear and runs up the the now vacated area, uses his swift action Enlarge Person and attempts to lift the table out from in front of gaedren.
This consumes two movements and his turn is over with him now holding the table.. Size Large The Map Looks like this: MAP Gaedren does not have his cover bonus anymore.
Gaedren Dead: He does the same as if Gaedren was still alive, but with the table in front of Yargin instead.
Loris moves to area Ryder just vacated. The only spot which provides total cover from his enemies so his burst doesn't heal them as well.
Ryder, Loris (and the Crocodile since I can't avoid it) Get 6 points back.
Loris (going before Ralof) wants to go help Ryder, but cannot get in a proper position due to his slower than molasses movement in medium armor to where his burst won't heal the enemies as well. He moves to better positioning for next round and takes a strike at Gaedren.
Miss *Edit -
Loris see's Gaedren snap out of it, but feels as if Yargin has posed the more dangerous threat with his alchemical weapons. He strikes at Yargin
Loris avoids becoming deafened Loris Stands tall and attempts to take a stab at Gaedren... or Yargin, if Ryder manages to take care of Gaedren.
The blow glances off the corner off the desk, just missing Gaedren/Yargin by inches
Loris Moves as far as he can through the clutter. He will need to take a double move, but it gets him to within striking distance of his spear.
Loris AoO:
Loris moves forward through the difficult terrain (20ft/2) 10ft. He then proceeds to cast Calm Animals (His Domain Spell) on the Crocodile (DC13 Will Save Negates).
Loris sees Ryder cast a spell. "Good Idea" he says as he casts his own spell, Shield of Faith (+2 deflection to Armor). "Everybody Ready?" When they nod their responses, Loris opens the door spear at the ready, and steps inside.
Loris thinks about it for a bit: Hmm, we could swim out there, but who knows if there are more sharks. There may be a way to access it from inside the ship itself, but it looks sketchy at best. Or I suppose we could climb down to the platform with rope" Climb Down Option:
Loris pulls out his silk rope and begins tying knots in it. He should only need about 5-10 to get low enough to reach the lower dock. After enough knots are in the rope he secures an end to one of the posts on the catwalk.
After securing the rope, he climbs down, and is successful (DC5 for knotted rope - taking 10 on climb check = 12 for Loris) He ties off the other end to the lower platform to make it easier for the others to climb down. The rope goes from dot's #1 on the upper platform to the lower platform on #2. Remember that the upper platform crashed into the river previously and is no longer there.
Swim Option:
Loris swims out to the lower platform and attempts to climb up.
He fails to make it up to the platform.
Ship Option: For the Ship Option we can refer back to our earlier posts
Loris mutters under his breath in perfect Halfling, "Silly Halfling, always running off"
Loris follows Ryder inside the compound and to one of the windows. He sizes it up thinks I suppose I can fit through here? Ever the impatient one, instead of looking for a way to open the window, he smashes it with his spear.
Loris then climbs out the window and down onto the deck of the ship. "Coming?"
Loris swims back to shore (Take 10 with Skill since no longer under duress) Takes a look at Ryders Arm.. "Let me take a look at that" He then proceeds to channel positive energy healing both himself and Ryder (and Ralof if he needs it)
As the wounds regenerate around the bite he looks at Ryder, "There... Stay away from sharks kid" "I saw a caged Gator down there, I think I'd like to investigate that before heading to the ship."
Loris is in a predicament. The Shark is inside his reach and to move to a position that will allow him to use his spear will provoke an AoO. And, he can't withdraw without also provoking an AoO. Given the two options, Loris is the type to try to go down swinging. He moves 5 feet towards the fishery (under the main building) and stabs at the shark again. (The Shark will Get an AoO
Loris AoO:
Loris Stays Afloat. Two options again depending on Ralof:
Shark Alive:
Loris Takes another stab at it (pun intended)
Loris moves 5ft closer to shore in anticipation the shark may come after him. Shark Dead: Seeing that Ryder made it back to the shore, Loris follows to help Ryder (10ft at a time)
Since Ryder and Ralof go before Loris, here's his two options depending on what happened when it gets to his turn. SharksAlive:
Loris moves to within striking distance of his longspear. (1/4 Movement of 20ft = 5ft) Yikes.. Big-time wiff on the attack.
SharksDead:
Assuming there's no other threats, Loris uses his swim check to double move (10ft) towards the landing that's above the water they just fell into. Since the boardwalk collapsed, I take it this is the only way to get to the ship now? "Guys, a platform!"
Loris says, "Let's go" And heads out to the boat. He realizes it's slippery and moves carefully down the Boardwalk.
Loris seems frustrated, He want's to get to Gaedren. He remembers the boardwalk on the south side of the building. Seeing the Moldy Boards, he decides to break them apart to get access to the boardwalk and ship. His frustration gets the better of him and you see him Literally grow in anger to twice his normal size as he gives the door a mighty kick!
Loris follows and also performs a Quick search:
There's still at least one more door we haven't checked. I think we should check it quickly before finding a way down to Gaedren
Loris shakes his head as Ryder abruptly walks off. "Yep, he would have made a great half-ling." He then goes off to one of the empty rooftop shacks he's been squatting in since entering the city on his quest to discover his true parents. He eats the last of his rations from his backpack, while using a create water cantrip to create a gallon of water to drink and wash up with. I'll have to stop and get some more rations in the morning, He thinks to himself
Loris looks at Ralof, "Easy for you to say, you can see in the dark much better than I can. While we certainly could catch them a little off guard that way, it could also be dangerous to navigate at night." He turns to Ryder, "What do you think? Either way, I'm ready to get my revenge"
Small Talk:
Loris listens to Ryder ramble on incessantly about his story. He can't help but be reminded of his childhood growing up amongst the many chatterbox halflings. While he was indeed banished from his Halfling village, it was the only home he ever knew. He can't help but feel a connection to the young sorcerer "You would have made an excellent Halfling", Loris exclaims as he goes into his own story of his youth Back to the present: "Kill him? Perhaps, Perhaps not. From what Zellara, You, and Ralof have told me, he certainly deserves it, but he doesn't seem like one to go without a fight." "Honestly, I've been so focused on finding him that I hadn't really thought what I would do to him when I did. Hmmm" Loris loses himself in thought as he ponders what possibilities await his finally confronting Gaedren.
Taking a second to re-adjust his vision towards the cough he heard in the corner, he see's this young boy standing to the side of the doorway. He thinks, Yeah, no way this kid owns the building. "Naw, it cant be you. You're way to young to be so cunning. I'm assuming you're here because you also got a message?" He holds up the card so Ryder can see it. "Take a seat, boy." He pulls the chair out for Ryder to sit down."Hopefully, we'll get our answers soon. I'm too old to be kept waiting."
Loris, his patience perhaps a bit thin from having to wait looks back at the door, and curtly asks, "Are you the one who sent us the cards?"
"Framed for murder? It wasn't you was it?" Loris, taken aback by the sudden willingness of a complete stranger to share this personal information with him, eyeballs Ralof one more time. "There's something about you, Elf. Something almost a bit too genuine... What the hell... Here." Loris flips over the card and casually tosses it in front of Ralof. "It seems we're both here for the same reason. I only hope whomever sent the note arrives soon, I've been searching for Gaedren for a while now." Waiting anxiously for the others to arrive, Loris begins tapping his worn, beat-up fingers on the desk, while humming a old favorite tune of the halflings.
Loris, feeling no obligation to start telling his life story to a complete stranger looks at Ralof, "My story? My story is I'm here because of this." He holds the card up so that Ralof can see there is a message on the back, but immediately turns it and places it message down on the table in front of him, left hand still on top of the card. He doesn't fully trust this stranger yet and wants to verify he is here for the same reasons "And what, is exactly your 'story?'." Loris says with a minor hint of derision as he actually uses his right hand to simulate quotation marks.
A few minutes later, Loris walks into the building. Seeing an elf sitting in one of the 3 chairs on this side of the table, he thinks to himself This couldn't possibly be the one who sent the note or he'd be on the other side of the table.
Loris see's the elf's weapons and armor. He is obviously well trained. "Hello there fair warrior. My name is Loris Rakain. I take it you're here for the same reason as I?" Loris approaches the table, reads the note. "How is the bread?" He picks up a loaf before Ralof can answer his question. Loris Takes a seat at the table, but leaves the open chair in the middle. "I take it there will be another to join us?"
Loris looks down at his meal. Salmon and Potatoes, the presentation is adequate Not bad, not bad at all, he thinks. He looks back up at the smiling waitress; smiles in return as he fumbles around for 5 silver. "Here you are ma'am. And a silver piece for your trouble"
Ok, so I finished making up Loris Rakain. (Although I need to transfer his sheet over to the google docs sheet yet) Take a look at his profile; You should notice that in the "Race" category, there is a spoiler tag for Status. I want you guys to do the same. This shall be where you keep track of daily usage items and hit points. For example, I can channel Energy 4 times a day as well as use my enlarge ability 5 times a day. You can add anything you feel needs to be tracked inside that spoiler.. Arrows, Spells Per Day, ect.. ------------- In the "Class / Levels" section.. Add another Spoiler tag with your Current Stats.. I have AC, Touch AC, Flat Footed AC, All three saves, My initiative modifier, and perception bonus. At minimum I'll want these to be displayed here, as I will from time to time roll for you in some instances. Please keep these as up to date as possible. For instance.. Right now, you should notice my AC is 16.. However, I have a shield that will increase it to 17 when I equip it. When I do, I will make a change to the profile so it is reflected in future posts.
x10gp = 170gp
I've created an alias for the Battle Cleric I will be using as an NPC along side you guys. If you haven't already done so, make yourself an alias with your chars name... If you don't know where to do that: Click on the My Account link and scroll down to the Message Board Aliases link. Give him a name and an appropriate picture, and then edit his profile to include some minor information. (We'll be using the Google Drive sheets for the main info) Most importantly, in the "Class/Race" option: Create a spoiler tag with your characters current status. HP.. AC.. Will/Reflex/Fort saves.. Anything with a daily limit.. Ammunition for arrows... ect.. Here's how it will look.. Again replace {} with []. {spoiler=Status} HP 10/10; Channel 3/3; AC 18; Will 7; Ref 2;{/spoiler} I haven't finished my char so not all of my info is in there yet. But you'll notice that the spoiler tag will be in every post he makes. Try to keep them as up to date as possible. |
