Louis Mon roi de Dunis's page

Jousting! Jousting! thiz... thiz iz no good... no good at all, thiz iz terrible. We will end up maimed or worse, Our only hope iz to delay when we take part in zee tournament and explore the entire place as soon as possible

Other than the jousting court are there any other tournament arenas? What's the population of the place? Is it full of warriors? Louis would probably want to get some rest too, and then under the guise of assembling items to joust, go exploring and take notes on what he sees and look for the ogre Black Smith

Oh ho ho! Thiz a one can be very dangerous no? It seems he thinks we're here to attack him and his kingdom. Perhaps it would be best if we were on our way... for i have heard that these crazy types have the strength of 10 men! Come it iz best to be on our way, we are the opposite of what we were, those who would be our allies are now our enemies... and enemies are now our friends... until we finish this mission. Hmm heh he, If I were not already crazy I would go insane!

Louis tries to keep his sense of humor, but his thoughts seem to focus on the danger that they're heading into.

Ogres, a mystery lady, and now this! Louis thinks to himself. Thiz iz strange no? he says to the others in a hushed tone.

Louis to Markas Ho ho perhaps they know of zee black knight tournament, no? Could help us to get there maybe?

Louis readies his sword. Wee let us find Latovius, and be on our way! Louis is anxious after what he put his village through... and will be extremely pissed at anybody who tries to delay them. He is looking for a fight.

As far as marching order Louis on point, Timonius on the donkey, and Markas and Latovius bringing up the rear.

Okay if I understand this correctly the Black Knight's Keep is four days journey away, and we have five days to travel. So we'll travel by day and camp by night, most nights we'll setup a campfire have one person on watch while the others sleep. If challenged by the Black Knight's minions we'll simply explaining that we're going to the tournament, and we have the paperwork to prove it. If we run into anyone that wants a fight we'll just have to explain to them that we're here to chew gum and kick ass... and we're all out of gum. For travel. And doesn't Timonius have a donkey to ride? That should help the 74 Year old travel better. At night we'll be resting for the next day's journey so we won't be using torches, or just a few. Matt I tried to open the map, but got a message saying I needed permission?

Louis thinks that most of the Black Knight's minions will be heading back to the Black Knight's Keep also (for the tournament), He's hopeful that that will prevent his home village of Hawks Hill from being attacked... at least that's what he hopes!

I've been overthinking this over the last couple days, And have decided that Louis would want to attack the head of the serpent. Louis wants the group to go to the tournament and find out all they can about the Black Knight and his legions. The happy warrior explains to his friends he has been given a map by his father, that should get them to the keep of the Black Knight, and that he would be honored to be their guide on this trek. That for them to go to the tournament is the best way to protect the village, and after all it is their original mission. Believing that the village is not in immediate danger from being overrun by an evil horde, Louis tells his village friends to be brave Liberté pour les braves gens de vivre de longues Hawks Colline! Matt where would I look for the map Louis's father gave him?

Louis suggest that the group head out for the Black Knights keep with the morning sun. And although there is an inn for two of the travelers to stay, he highly recommends that the group stay together perhaps there may be a barn that the group could stay in and get rest with a bit of shelter from the elements and Markas could even lay in the manger since he is our Magi. But first he make sure the villagers take care of old Herman. Au Revoir Pee Wee Louis says as the village people take away the remains of their neighbor. To his comrades Louis remarks I am quite familiar with this territory if you would like me to lead the way to the Black Knights keep I would be glad to do so... For we must right this wrong ... those who have attacked my people must pay ! nous devons saisir le jour, Jusqu'à demain bonne nuit Louis will take his leave of his friends tonight, to gather his thoughts.. much has happened that is very upsetting to him.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all

Louis is ready for a fight, I mean they stold his hat, have you seen him in that hat!
Bah! Bandits! Ils vont regretter le jour où ils ont apporté leurs mauvaises voies dans mon monde! Oui?

With each village that is closer to Hawks Hill, Louis disposition brightens... he is hopeful that since each village seems to have been spared attacks by Raiders that Hawks Hill too may have avoided raids from evildoers. But until he knows for sure, Loius prepares, and checks his gear.

thanks Matt
Ho ho! Oui Goldfson talents can always be of use... Shall we look for him now, or wait till he iz passed out?

although Louis is putting up a brave front, it does not take much to tell that he is stressed

Louis WIS check : 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Louis INT check : 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

WIS roll is below Louis WIS
INT roll is equal to Louis INT

So I look at the WIS spoiler, but not the INT one ?

Thanks, KC

Louis steps forward, looks about the room for a moment. Then with a smile addresses Timonius. My dear man you are obviously waiting for our most prestigious Sargent LeGant. Do you know how long it will be until hiz return? You see we too seek zee adventure... And have zee upmost important news for our leader. Mais bien sûr, comment impoli de ma part! Je dois faire l'introduction. Ho ho... Thiz iz my colleague and great warrior Markas, but of course I am zee great swords man, Louis Mon roi de Dunis. Perhaps you have heard of us. Louis looks over to the man pacing the floor and speaks to Timonius. Timonioths is it ? Who iz your friend ?

You know sometimes I even impressed myself with my cooking sez zee French Chef

I have been thinking it over, and I think it would probably be best if we were to rest for zee evening. If we alternate watches I believe we would be safe here. Then tomorrow my good friend Latovius could use his tracking skills out the secret exit, ho ho ho! It iz settled no? I shall take zee first watch! Proud and puffed up Louis prepares for the first watch

Louis backs into the room keeping an eye to the south and a ear out for noises of approaching kobolds

Humpht! In his air of disapproving manner Louis closes the gap between him and his comrades, he turns and faces south he keeps watch for activity coming from behind them.

Louis moves two squares east, one square south of Kolbald 9

En Garde! si vous plaît!! Hee hee

Louis attacks Kolbald 9: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d6 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 1

It's going to be hard to attack K9... I mean with keeping Dr. Who in mind...

To K9 It iz a sad thing to find out your all alone in zee world no? But at least you can take pride in knowing that a good death iz it'z own reward.

If you turn your back on me you will regret it swine! Ho ho ho!

Louis attacks K 10:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 151d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d6 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 6

Louis moves one square east and five squares south, not so much to get behind K 10 but to give Markas more room to battle

My dear friend I know you have this well in hand but we must hurry, if we are to find Goldfson! Louis says to the big holy man, And turns his attention to the strange green kobold, K 10 Ah Ha!

Louis attacks K 10:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 111d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d6 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 3

Ah Ha! En Garde! Louis brings the attack to the Kolbald K7

Louis attacks K7:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 181d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d6 ⇒ 31d6 ⇒ 1

Sorry I'm late with my post, had a business trip this weekend

Louis moves to the square north Kolbald 11, yelling back where they had entered Goldfson!! A little help si vous plaît!! then to his foe Now you face zee blade of Louis Mon roi de Dunis! il devrait être rapide Oh Ho Ho!

Louis attacks Kolbald 11:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 191d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d6 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 1

Louis closes the gap with the new Kolbald

Goldfson!! I thought he was with you!! Louis responses to Markas, then to the Kolbald in front of him Ho ho! Don't be shy my little one... Zee party, she iz just begin.

Louis battles with his new opponent

Louis attacks Kolbald in doorway:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 201d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d6 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 3

Qu'est-ce que c'est?! take this! Ha Ha!

Louis swings his sword yet again

Louis attacks Third Kolbald:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 201d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d6 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 4

Louis moves east and then south, total of 10 squares to the third Kolbald

Louis sees a third kobold, he closes the distance between him and it, giving wide berth to Markus, who was engaged in melee with a Kolbald of his own.

Ha Ha! Vous n'allez nulle part mon fief petits bovins! Ho ho ho!

As he nears the beastie Louis swings his sword

Louis attacks Third Kolbald:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d6 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 1

The formula I'm working with on the bonus damage dice seems to be providing two rolls I'll just take the first 5 damage, again, iz that correct?
Thanks, KC

En Garde! Zoot Zoot! With great sword play, Louis brings the attack to the Kolbald!

Louis attacks Kolbald :: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 201d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d6 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 4

total 11 damage? hope I did that right

Louis makes a right turn around the corner and proceeds 25 feet (five squares) Sword and shield at the ready. Turning right and rounding the corner, moving quietly along wall to his right expecting to run into castle, but knowing well that kobolds may be nearby Louis is very alert. " Are you here my little friendz" he thinks to himself.

What does he see, if anything?

Louis switches weapons from bow to sword Louis slowly draws his sword and takes a moment to admire it, Then whispers Ho ho… My dear comrade Latovius iz correct! We should look to strike fast and hard! And I would ask if you would do me zee favor of letting me go first, I believe thiz iz the perfect setting for zee talents of a longer blade no, ho ho ho Louis looks over to the cave entrance do you think we will need zee torch?

Oh! Louis whispers, seeing Latovius' attack... takes his que and closes distance even more on the Kolbald guards, with bow in hand. After traveling 60 feet With glee notches an arrow steadies his shot and lets loose two arrows

Louis attacks Kolbald Latovius isn't fighting with bow:: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 131d8 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

Louis attacks Kolbald Latovius isn't fighting with bow:: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 131d8 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Two shots with a bow attack, correct?

Louis closes the distance between him and the Kolbolds heading stealthily slightly north but mostly east trying to keep trees between him and the enemy. Louis still has the bow at hand. A character can move diagonally right?

I'm all for attacking the cave entrance and not looking for a secrete one The happy warrior gets up from a sitting position smacks his thighs and stands up straight. Oui, We go and attack at zee cave enterance... how large iz thiz entrance Latovius? For if she iz small, zee pig men can not all get through no? Ho ho ho! We can pick them off one by one. And one of us can keep an eye out for zee strays, hee hee hee ! Realizing that there will be no good night sleep at the cabin tonight, Louis readies himself for zee battle ahead.

Louis picks up one crude short bow and seven crude arrows. Thiz iz pretty bad... but with my expertise ability I should be able to put it to good use, no? Zo! We are heading to zee cabin? With a smile that says "You know that I'm right" Louis waits to see what L&M plan to do. lol L&M Old cigarette reference

Louis finishes bandaging himself Sigh... Mes amis, I think it would be best for us to backtrack and try to find zee cabin Gerius told us of... we can rest, and be fresh for the new day. Then we can also press into service zee farmhands to boost our numbers against zee pig man hordes! Ho ho! Cough cough. But if it iz how you say... that their camp is close, well then Goldfson you should check it out, and see how many of the little buggers there are! But don't take too long, and don't be spotted, you yourself told us that these pig mens see better in the twilight hours, We wouldn't want to be caught at a disadvantage. Would we? Markus and myself will wait here. And I will look over thiz bow. As he stands up the warrior grimaces a little, but is quick to put on a smiling face... although it is obvious to those who are watching that he's in a bit of discomfort. Louis gestures to the dead Kolbalds What iz the custom with zee fallen… burial, or let nature take it'z course? As always Louis is talking in a leadership role... although I don't think there are any followers. Unless it is garbage, Louis will take the bow and any arrows

Louis will try to fix his wound as best he can. If we can get zee cattle... and if we can get them to zee camp with the farmhands, I say we do that! IF we can make it before it iz too late... because these pig men are going to notice nine of their friends are not coming home for dinner tonight, and they are going to want to explore and see why. Zo zee most important thing for us iz to get to shelter, for tonight we rest! No?

Yes! yes! thiz one iz feisty, no? Ho ho ho! Louis again strikes at K1

Louis attacks K1:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 111d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

And zo it goes... I am getting tired... Louis states, as the sweat runs down his face.

If Louis is starting on2-4, he'll move east one to 2-5, then north three to 5-5, then west two to 5-3, then north again one to 6-3, that should put him next to the remaining Kolbold. Total of 35 feet. Yelling all the way Zo this iz how you like it! And you shall have it no? Tout mon petit ami une bonne mort est sa propre récompense Louis strikes at K1

Louis attacks K1:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Ah ha!

Louis moves one space east, and one space north, going from "7-3" to "8-4" bringing him next to Markus and K6 Riddle me this pig boy, what's pink, and red, and dead... it iz you! Ha ha Louis strikes at K6

Louis attacks K6:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 161d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Pant! pant!

I hope you are (h)appy! Now you have gone and made me angry! And for that you must pay! Arrg! Louis shouts at the creature that dared to stick him Louis attacks K2:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 191d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

[

Louis makes an extremely slow advance towards the Kolbolds, hoping to draw them in range of Markus' sling while giving Latovios time to spring his trap. But not too much time ay. Louis aggressively threatens the Kolbolds Youuuu! You make me zo angry! Here's what will happen to you! First I'm going to hit ya, then you're going to fall... and you're going to cry and I'm going to laugh... And the threats continue! Louis will move 5 feet or one square north, Shield at the ready and swishing his sword.

Louis listens to Latovios plan, with a smile and a wink he says in a whisper, It is a good plan my friend, rest assured that Louis Mon roi... ... *! But he iz gone, no? a bit surprised that Latovios took off so quickly Louis readies for attack, he shares the plan with Markus, he adds cover me! [ooc] I believe that Louis can make it to a spot next to the pond between the small bush and the small tree, or 4 squares to the right (east), then 6 squares forward (north) as he hurries to position he shouts out OH HO HO! Prepare for zee trouble and make it double! To protect zee world from zee devastation! And to protect all people within our nation! To denounce the evils of your ways! Ho Ho! And to earn zee approval from the stars above... It iz I... Louis Mon roi de Dunis ready to blast you with zee speed of my blade! Surrender now, or prepare to fight! ha ha HA! iz right !

En Garde!

Louis waves his sword! He is very assured his challenge has scared the puny Ratman have to death!

I checked Louie's inventory and he does not have a bow or arrows... Though he is skilled with a bow. I opted for chain mail. Quietly Louis draws his sword readies his shield. With a smile he looks at Markas and Latovios and raises his eyebrows as if to say "Ready?" Surprisingly the happy warrior can be extremely silent.

With a raised eyebrow and a nod, Louis holds up four fingers and then makes a cutting motion across his neck. I say we attack!

What kind of rat pigs are these creature anyway? And have you seen this whip?! No such creature could make such a beautiful, supple leather as this. Who did they take it from, so many question eh ? Do either if you have any experience with a whip ? unfortunately I do not. Louis offers the whip to his comrades I believe if we were to follow the path back to the creatures came from that might bring forth zee answers we seek Louis also gives full disclosure of everything he found to his comrades... coin goes to group treasury

After a round of gleeful chatter (to himself) over the recent victory Louis chimes in Oui, I am fine, how are you two? Louis will administer first aid to any who need it, all the while praising their valiant efforts, Then he'll add Latovius, it may be best to search for zee origins of these terrible rat men, no? But of course we should secure this area first! Then I shall search the beasties for anything of value. [ooc] I have this strange feeling of déjà vu !

Now zee tables, she has turned! And you... are still full of fight, zo much zee better. Have at thee! Ho! Ho! Louis trades insults with rat boy.

Louis moves around the dead foes to the last enemy "e2" or iz it "e1"? and uses his sword to attack enemy e1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 111d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

And zo it goes...

Louis moves steadily and assuredly around the fallen foe, all the while taunting his next opposition ( e2 ) Now see what you made me do... Zee same fate awaits you no? Ah ha! S'il vous plaît, Zoot! Zoot! with a swish of his sword, a glare in his eye, and a smile on his face.

Louis moves around dead foe to E/D 8 to E/D9 To confront a new enemy "e2" and uses his sword on the critter attack giant rat e2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 61d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Hope I'm moving my guy correctly, I can't see the numbers or letters on the side and top of this map. Did you get my character sheet? KC
