Due to unforeseen circumstances with internet, I will not be able to post on these messageboards anymore. So it is with a heavy heart that I must say goodbye to you all. Please NPC my character and re-recruit if you can.

Lucanus pauses for a few moments as he goes threw every piece of the ship, thinking over the puzzle, he talks out loud to himself "This ship was never intended for anything more then the attack. And it would have taken time to prepare something like this and a lot of planning..."
Lucanus follows Master Krase over to the enemy ship. He keeps his eyes and ears open for anything out of the ordinary. "Why would they attack us?" He says to no one in particular. "It doesn't quite make sense, they were vastly outnumbered in both numbers and spirit. Something doesn't quite add up..."
Lucanus stiffens at the question, he knows the response he must give, but his honesty won't let him. "I would say that I was grateful to have an ally that thinks highly of me to put themselves in danger to save my life. I am also ashamed for putting them in that danger, but no mortal man is immortal. To say that a man doesn't need allies or assistance is a quick way for him to meet the ground." Lucanus sighs "And at some point, I will need too repay her for her kindness and to apologize for putting her in danger at the same time."
Lucanus sits up from the deck of the ship, "Whoa, that sure smarts..." The wind is taken out of him as Kayla hugs him. He hugs back a bit, unsure of the context of the embrace. He takes the offered hand of Atlas, surprised at the dwarf's strength. "Thanks to you for your aid, and now I must get back to assisting with the battle" Once up Lucanus scans the battle, determining where to strike. He will rally beside Master Krase again once he spots him or goes to him for further instructions.
Lucanus spots Master Krase, he looks to Kayla, "I'd stay here where it's safe, or make sure to stay behind me. We need to push these hostiles from the ship!" Lucanus turns and runs at one of the men attacking Master Krase, charging him as he does so.
Caring not for his own health and safety, he bends down to Kayla and removes his helm, "Are you alright? Are you wounded anywhere?" Lucanus will also take a quick look around for Master Krase, seeing if he is still engaged in combat and to rally up with him. Lucanus, without thinking, mentions to Kayla "You sing quite beautifully..." He goes red slightly once realizing what he said, equipping his helm quickly to hide his abashment
Don't forget for Sandpoint as well :D
Lucanus grunts as the blow hits his shoulder. His shield arm drops slightly, but he manages to keep it up. He pulls up his arm and slashes with his bastard sword
Lucanus parries the blow with his shield, he spins around slashes out with his sword, cutting into the man
Lucanus, seeing Atlas take a massive blow and will run to his side, slashing at his attacker with a vicious strike.
He will look behind him quickly as he makes the strike to make sure Kayla is still behind him and safe.
well I am certainly patiently awaiting your post
Born in Regina, but lived in Saskatoon for 4 years or so. Lived on Primerose Drive and went to St. Anne's Elementary School
GTA, although I'm originally a good old boy from Saskatchewan. Been in TO for ten years and I still get nervous around tall buildings and crowds
move to Canada, but beware, my wife is fierce
half orc fighter eh? Well if all my online campaigns die, then I will be retiring from online stuff. Joined this against my personal rule, but it was too good of a concept. we shall see what happens
I know, I'm in 6ish games with you, although I think Nerk's S&S finally died and Kingmaker is really slow
The Tale of the Innocent Hafling Maid and the Honourable Hellknight... could almost write a fun poem about that
Lucanus stabs with his bastard sword at the staggered attacker with his broadsword. He makes sure Kayla is still protected behind him as he does so.
Lucanus moves into formation with the rest of the Hellknights. He braces up with his shield and hits the first enemy to come near him.
Lucanus gets up from being knocked on his feet and clears away some of the debris from his armour. He see's Kayla struggling to get up and comes over and assists her by moving the rather large dog. He is slightly sad to see that the dog is quite possibly dead. Lucanus draws his sword and shield. "Stay behind me, we will get through this together!" He rallies back to Master Krase, making sure Kayla will stay safe behind him. "Master Krase, what are your orders?" Lucanus also takes a quick look around for any immediate danger.
Matei, were waiting for you over in Sandpoint!
There is a lot of poetic licence that can be used for this, so far I am really liking it. I had an idea for the attitude of the character, and within five minutes of posting, the character changed completely, so I'm glad that he evolved
I just put it in to keep an eye on Kayla specifically, I will change that
Hope you don't mind, but I like to separate my posts if there are two events to respond too, I find it too chaotic to have one large post. In fact, it was driving me a bit nuts in S&S until we relaxed on the job rolls
Having spent most of the morning making sure the other Hellknights had their armor's properly polished, Lucanus had barely enough time to have his cleans as well. Even though the black scales were rather radiant, he could still see a bit of sand flacks on his gauntlets. Next time, I wake up earlier. Burn me for staying up late with the others...
Lucanus looks over to the docks and becomes slightly confused. He leans closer to Master Krase and whispers, as much as he can over the fanfare. "Master, there's a boat in dock leaving over there." He briefly indicates with his head. "Riding full sails out of dock is rather foolish and hasty. Could we be causing the fear?"
He would go about looking for the youngsters that he met on the first day, especially the Halfling maiden. He was not sure exactly what it was that she meant to him, but he had an overwhelming desire to make sure she was safe.
I take it as Game of Thrones, which I think has more of a focus then we all realize. I'm feeling a lot like Jon Snow, as I take care of the master who has taken me under his wing. For those not familiar, in Game of Thrones, age is relevant depending on your role and attitude, there were some 16 year olds that were seen with such respect that it would rival someone in their late 40's
Lucanus nods as Master Krase speaks about justice, as they walk he comments "Justice is in my blood, otherwise I would have wandered off when my parents died." He places a hand on his bastard sword, remembering his mother. After helping the Master with his preparations for bed, Lucanus heads over to his bunk for the night and removes his sword belt and his over clothes. He washes up for the night and gets into his bunk. Quite an eventfully night and I'm prepared for the backlash from those men at arms. I will lay down my life to protect a lady such as Kayla, and I may need to keep an eye on her in the future... A small smile forms on his lips as he drifts off to sleep
I still need to sit down and give that thing a read, been busy lately running RL games of PFS 9 more sessions and I get my second star :D
Lucanus & Kayla:
Lucanus bows to Kayla "Of course, my Lady, you have a pleasant evening and I do hope to see you around the boat once again."
Once she heads to bed, Lucanus heads up to the Hellknight cabin to attend to Master Krase, if he sees him, he will give his report of everything, including his chores, the rowdy noblemen and his escorting of the Lady Thune's attendant while assisting them man with his armor. Due to the hostilities, Lucanus thinks it would be prudent to begin wearing his armor around the boat, like the other senior Hellknights.
Lucanus positions himself by the door and remains quiet, I'm glad this has been uneventful. Lucanus quietly stiffles a yawn as Kayla heads in.
Lucanus shakes his head "I have finished my chores, but even if I hadn't, my commander would understand my delay. I only wonder if my caution is enough to grab my shield and armor... we should be fine. Lead on my lady!"
Lucanus finishes with the fruit and bread, having his fill. He gets up and approaches Kayla, "Would my lady mind an escort? Just to make sure those brutes have indeed gone back upstairs. My mind would be at rest to make sure you are safe."
"As an Aspirant, I have not joined an order, but Citadel Demain was my home and it housed the Order of the Scourge. My patron choice is simply my own"
Lucanus smiles down at Kayla, "You are most welcome, my lady. Some of the common soldiery can be brutes, especially around a woman. They are gone for now and the drink will drain from their systems and give them some sense. I would remain slightly cautious for the next few days. But have no fear, for I am duty bound to keep an eye out for you" Lucanus relaxes his hand by his sword as he realizes the threat is finally gone. At the mention of Asmodeus, Lucanus clears his throat and draws out his sword enough so that Matei can see the upside down star, the symbol of Asmodeus, upon the pommel. He gives it a few taps, to emphasis his point. He re-sheaths the sword before joining Atlas with the remainder of the bread and fruit. "Not to worry, fair dwarf, I am also an orphan. I was taken as a ward to Citadel Demain when both my parent's died in the line of duty. They were both Hellknights, so you can say that my path is predetermined already."
My intimidate is a +2 if the brutes are already afraid of Hellknights to begin with :D
Lucanus, again makes sure to be between Kayla and the brutes, he puts the mug of wine down between them. "The lady speaks truth, if it is wine you seek, then please find your way back above to the festival. But if you seek anything else, then you will not find it here. Please leave, or pray that I do not mention this to my superiors."
Lucanus moves to put himself between the hefty men and the little hafling that introduced herself as Kayla, he picks up the mugs and walks over to Kayla, allowing her to fill it up before putting it down before them. "Will this suffice, or will you need the bottle as well?"
Lucanus looks confused, spotting the unusual way the man holds himself and his display of weapons. "I'm sorry, I was momentarily confused by your stature, you don't have the attitude of a porter, especially towards someone such as myself."
Spotting the servicable fruit and stale bread, he grabs them out and slices a few slices and takes an apple. "If anyone is hungry, I'm sure this won't go missed"
Lucanus snorts at Matei, "They also say that Hellknights have no sense of humor" He stares intently at Matei for a long moment before laughing. He holds out his forearm to Matei, "Well met, your the squire to Ser Magnus Cortain, correct? I am Lucanus"
Lucanus finally finishes with the last of his chores and tending of the horses. His stomach begins to growl slightly at the continued sounds of the festival above. All the serving staff should be above, I can see if the cook has anything prepared for us Walking over to the galley, Lucanus walks in before realizing that it's not empty, he spots a dwarf and a halfling immersed in conversation. He makes sure to lighten his step as he doesn't want to accidently hurt one of them, his height and size usually a deterrent when dealing with the smaller folk. "Excuse me, My Lady and Master Dwarf, but was there any food left out for the squires? I'm afraid that my stomach betrays me, wanting to attend the festivities up stairs..."
Lucanus continues to brush down the horse he is working on, his sword swings in his way as he moves and he sighs. He puts down the brush and tries to tighten the belt once again. I may have to try to make another knot upon the belt... He spots a squire of one of the knights across the hold, cleaning a horse just like he. He picks up brush once again and continues his chores, ignoring the sounds of the festival above. They celebrate like we have one, and yet we haven't even started...
Hurry for being military and able to keep my weapon on me at all times... evil Cheliax military... dang
Bought Scalemail, a heavy steel shield, and subtracted the gold for the Bastard Sword. I didn't take any adventuring gear as I think that would be provided to us. And if it isn't, I have 70 gold left to buy it. Equipment added to Crunch, guess I will be the "tank" with my 20 AC
So Joy, is this game 5 or game 6 together now?
Greetings and Salutations, Don't have too much of a back story other then Lucanus being an orphan as his parents, both Hellknights, were killed in the line of duty at a young age. He has been am Aspiring Hellknight since when he became a ward of the Order of the Scourge. The only thing that he has left from his parents is his mothers Bastard Sword, his most prized possession. (Hopefully able to make it masterwork at some point so I can keep it for the life of the character) Even at sixteen, his height is over 6 feet and will be a giant of a man by the time he has finished growing. |
