Lugert sees Plergk address the goblin who turns to find the chief. Goblin:
"And let him know there is a new hero for your tribe. Plergk the Archer is your hero now. He fought the skeletons like a warrior."
"Bah! We've scared off a dragon, and you're afraid of some omebuh? Let's destroy it and the spider and be done with this cave!"
Lugert gives Kandor his morningstar and draws his bow.
"Is my mind playing tricks on me? I thought...something was just there."
"I think we're all set. Can you continue to lead the way, Kandor." Lugert keeps the Morningstar out. He winces from the pressure building in his head from the thorns' sickness.
Lugert watches as the deep gash in his body heals from the magic in Kandor's wand. "Uungh. Thank you Kandor. That was a horrible blow." Lugert moves up to the displaced skeleton's body. He kneels down, looking over the remains. "Who ever this was, he was a fighter of great skill. Fitting that his soul be put to rest with one last battle. What say you cleric? Is that wisdom or just fancy talk?"
Lugert's changes: • HP + 8 (6 avg + CON) = 32 HP
• Feat: Power Attack
Quick post: You should totally take the sword Golgast. I think the Eastern flavor makes a pretty cool Magus. A pretty cool half-orc Magus.
Man, I'm sorry, I totally missed a bunch of posts, including the one where he leveled up. I'll make sure to update when I'm home this evening.
Lugert bats the skeleton's weapon strike away from him and grabs its arm to hold back the clawed strike. As it takes its step away from the flanking members of his group he attempts to bring the morningstar straight down its skull.
Lugert wince and coughs up blood as the blade digs deep into his body. "Ugghhh." He blinks a few times as if to remember where he is and takes another wild swing at the undead warrior.
In Illinois we have drivers education in high school. I got my license after passing the class.
"Ha!" Lugert barely wills his body to move but the vicious attack from the skeleton finds no flesh. Lugert plants his rear foot back and with the skeleton now opening it's side to him he drops his weight and brings the morningstar flying upward with a calculated swing.
"Alright, be ready to back me up here." Lugert cautiously approaches the new possible threat, his eyes narrowing in on the skeleton and readying himself for it to come to life.
"A failed invasion? Why all the armor and steel if they didn't mean to take something be force." Lugert spins the morningstar, still getting used to its balance.
"I don't trust this one bit. We need to just destroy that skeleton and be done with it. Don't touch anything until that thing is in pieces."
Lugert looks about the cavern. "No treasure. Plergk, did these skeletons look like the ones who attacked your tribe?"
Lugerts yells out in pain as the flesh from his neck tears away. He brings the morningstar up above his head and swings it down using both hands. "Raaaah!"
Lugert charges forward, eager to keep the skeletons from flanking Kandor.
"Kandor! Don't get surrounded!"
Lugert moves up to within 15 feet of the skeleton. He keeps his eyes on the water and tightens his grip on the morning star. As he passes Kandor, who is observing the cavern, he gives him a nod. He turns back momentarily to single to Plergk to follow him if he can see him.
"We're not stopping to eat until we've found what we're hunting for." Lugert gives Plergk a sideways look as if saying, "Keep quiet!" This spider looks nothing like the ones we fought on our last excursion.
"I'm with you." Lugert proceeds with Kandor down the tunnel. His stomach is still churning but he seems to be holding it together. Lugert carefully maneuvers the dwarf's morning star through the narrow passage, keeping it from hitting the walls and making noise. As long as there isn't another dragon waiting for us I'm sure we'll be fine.
Cool. Can the punk gobbo come with for comic relief?
I have no problem leading the way and finding all the traps. Been sapped from all sides. New job, new routine, and now headed out to StL to perform a wedding. I'm incredibly tired, honestly. I'll try to post while waiting for the plane.
Lugert gestures for the others to stand aside, his complexion very pale. He takes his sword and begins cutting his way through the vines. Once they are cut down he spits up a bit of bile and then waves the others to follow. He pauses. "Someone will need to cast light in here for everyone to see." Lugert then moves up to the fork to peer towards the west.
Lugert pulls back from the vines with a wince. He then immediately vomits, spewing chunks of cooked rat onto the ground. "Don't touch the vines. Ugh, give me minute and I'll cut them down."
What Samiya said. The pacing right now is great. My other games are a bit too fast for me to keep up sometimes, but this has been awesome. I see Lugert as moving more towards True Neutral as we progress. I want too see a lowly hunter turn into a tactical behemoth.
I like role-playing, I have a crazy gnome bloodrager and a pompous hero worshiping Skald in my other pbp games. I like all the different personas I've created.
Cool, there's definitely some cool ways to go with this. I was looking at the Shaman with the Speaker for the Past and Possessed Shaman. Added skills, plus I can choose two skills of the same attribute type and have them key off of my WIS stat. But I don't know. I kind of think staying the course on Ranger would be cool too. It's all going to be determined by how this adventure turns out. If certain situations dictate a different need as far as character growth who knows what classes we all decide to take.
House rules question: Are the hybrid classes from the ACG allowable for multi-classing?
Part of me wants to give Plergk my vials of acid and tell him to go nuts and become the next goblin hero.
I don't think we have any blunt weapons. Oversight on my part. I think that's a lesson learned from our first encounter with skeletons.
When Kandor points out the cave entrance Lugert thinks back to the original cave dive that brought them together in the first place. "Whatever skeletons are in there decimated a goblin tribe on its home turf." He looks at Plergk. "Plergk, put your bow away and use your hand weapon. Everyone else, you may want to use any potions or oils for your gear before we cross into that cavern."
Once they get near the shore, Lugert gets into the water and pulls the boat to the sunken tree, lashing it to a thick bough. Once he gets to the vines he gives his followers the "quiet" hand gesture and then pulls out a vial from his belt pouch. He pours it on the rag it was wrapped in and then polishes his sword. The blade seems to catch more light from the slowly rising sun.
Lugert then moves up to the nettles and moves them to the side to peer into the cavern beyond.
Lugert's world stops dripping madness and he finds himself in front of the shack. He snarls to himself and heads back into the shack. He throws his sword across the room in a fit of anger and then tosses his bag over to where it landed. "These damn spells that play with my mind. When we return to Sandpoint I'm going to find a way to combat this somehow. I can't let this keep happening!" Lugert marches around the shack, rigid and angry. He eyes the body of the witch. "There are foul things all over this thicket. Look! Even someone versed in witchcraft is nothing but fodder out here." Upon hearing Kandor's orders Lugert returns to his kit and re-equips himself. He sheathes the sword and draws his bow. He looks at Kandor and nods, then looks to the goblin. "Come on Plergk, you're with me. We'll get the wood on our way back."
Lugert throws himself forward, charging to the doorway and out into the wilderness.
Lugert sweeps the floor with his blade, trying to cut and the rat closest to him and Kandor.
Lugert moves into the shack, up until what looks like a hole in the floor. He's drawn his sword and waits for the rest of his team to follow.
Lugert slings his bow and walks up to the door. He grasps the handle with both hands and gives it a tug. When it doesn't budge he puts his foot up on the wall and pulls back with more of his strength.
No worries. The new job is great but a huge time sink right now.
Hmm, rats. "I do not think anyone has been here for quite a while. Keep your eyes peeled." Lugert heads up to the shack to see if he can peer inside.
"We're nowhere near shelter and the night is creeping in on us. If the witch's home is indeed this way we may find it empty. This path hasn't been used in quite some time." Lugert points to the goblin."I'll lead the way through here. Follow me closely."
"We're near the domain of the White Witch that Walthus told us about." Lugert turns to their guide. "What do you know of the white witch that inhabits this part of the marsh?"
Lugert kicks the corpse aside and kneels next to Golgast, looking for what to do to stabilize the young half-orc.
"Uh, we're going to need Desna's help Kandor! This is out of my skill's reach."
I was using that a few years ago to learn Italian. It was fun, but when I decided to bike across the US I had no time for much else. I should download it to prep for my trip to Spain next spring.
Lugert watches as the spawn tears into Golgast, leaving him a slumped over pile on the ground. "No!
Lugert drives his sword deep into the back of the monster, the tip of the blade coming out the front of its chest before he pulls it free.
I kick myself for not taking learning another language seriously when I was in school. Growing up in a midwest town makes you believe you'll never leave and need to speak anything but English. I'm incredibly happy I left home to become an adventurer of sorts, but I wish I had another language to get me a bit further.
