More than a month since I last posted, checked all of Ego's alias's nothing since his last post here, several month ago. I consider this thread dead, and my character released at this point. If this restarts just PM me but, after a few day from now, I'll stop all checking. Too bad, I thought it was picking up steam again just before it stopped.
It's been more than a month and no sign of restart. I'm considering this campaign comatose. In a month or so I'll consider it dead and my character released. Sorry to see it go but these things happen. All the best to DM Ego and the rest of you guys, it was a good ride while it lasted.
Take the time you need, family does come first. Hope to see you in a month then. @Egan- Yes I know about the various ways to track the boards but I don't use them often for the exact reason in your note, they are all unreliable. I dropped to checking two-three times a week so as to avoid a daily dose of disappointment. It's purely about how my warped brain works. Thanks, though, these boards do take a bit of getting use to; if they weren't so active with great people, I'd have given up on them awhile ago.
Maksim will just cast that bless spell then, not any other action for now.
Seeing Andrej take a major hit Maksim tries to close with him, drawing the Wand of CLW as he goes. If he succeeds in getting within range he will use the wand on him.
Welcome indeed, glad to see interest. While we'd like a good character, even more important are consistant and solid posting, we've slowed a bit, we hope to pick the pace up again. Nicely done story there Big OM, we've subbed to so many of the same recruitments that I feel we're related. ;)
If Maksim has a stable point to stand he'll call for Erastil's favor to bless the party. I think everyone is still within 50' feet of him. If not he'll try to move to where he can get everyone within a Bless's radius. Some generic rolls while I catch up.
Use these as you will DM.
Maksim will try buffing when he can, ready to shoot or heal as needed.
Perception: Initiative:
Maksim strings his rope saying, "This won't help much going down but should when we need to come up again. And we should not linger here beyond getting what we need. An idol was stolen? Well I'm not much for idols of unknown godlings as such but if it's important to the Soots then we best get it, a good way to be friends. We have to find the boss mite to get it? That'll mean fighting them all won't it? I guess it would come to that anyway if we need to make sure no one else it harmed by these evil creatures." Maksim will follow Silva when the party leaves the torture chamber. I'll certainly take 10 if possible, I'm no better than Andrei in a climb.
Maksim looks at the trapped rope with dismay, then goes digging into his pack, pulling out a long length of quality rope. "We'll need to use our own rope then, we cannot depend on the loops they use, one mistake and it's a bad fall. We can test each of the loops at the top and tie this rope to several of them, that should be safe, or just to secure roots directly, or both. I don't recall a tunnel but I couldn't see much." Maksim looks it over to see what looks good to attach to. Perception:
Maksim ignores the nonsense noises of the kobold and prepares for combat. RD 1: Begin: Round 1

I'm not sure, I've been a bit under the weather so a bit slow in posting but I'm still here. Did we lose Arielle? In at least one other alias she has posted not two hours ago. I'm just not sure how to get across to the torture room without a serious fight. Just thought of something do the mites appear to have missile weapons? After my questions are answered Maksim'll suggest something more active (not smart, just active).
"It'd be looking tricky there that small hollow before getting to the mites is not a good place to be. Any ideas? I'm not sure how to deal with there numbers and better place."
Maksim seeing nothing says, "Aye, let's get going, if we dally, they may hear us and prepare a too warm welcome." Maksim keeps looking about for trouble. Perception: Edit: Error rolled a d2 rather than a d20, fixed. (and rolled the exact same number anyway.) :(
Maksim looks around for anything else in the room or on the bodies of the mites. Perception:
Maksim follows Lord Silva out of the very cramped tunnel into the merely cramped room, readying his bow as he goes, carefully watching his steps as he goes as to not injure himself. He continues moving to a point where he can get an unobstructed line-of-fire on the remaining mite and clear the tunnel opening. Then he takes his shot, if the mite survives Silva's mighty blow; if the second mite is down and there are no other targets, Maksim holds fire. Perception: RD Surprise: Begin: Round Surprise
Expendable spells:
Cleric Level 2
Fire on remaining mite, no melee penalty. Creature is within first range band of 100', no range penalty, and is less than 30' from Maksim(I think), +1 damage bonus. Normal arrows only, special are animal slaying, not being used. Attack with bow: To hit within 30'.

Maksim shruggs at Silva's order silenty pointing at him, flling the small tunnel full, trying to look around him and unable to do so.
Initiative Seeing Silva tense up for battle Maksim nocks an arrow and does the same. He drops the small lit up stone to the floor.
"I hear the chittering of mites around but cannot place them, they seem to be in each direction." Maksim says before they reach the room with the mites. Maksim is still carrying the light. Since he's third in line he sees little of what is ahead.
"I guess the best armored should go first, after that we scrabble down as we can. Maybe Lord Silva and Egan in either first or second, Third Andrej, Forth Arielle, and me as the rear guard. Hmmm, mahbe better if I was the third and Andrej as the rearguard. What do you think?" Maksim displays his massive leadership skills. Climb When it is his turn Maksim will climb down, after arriving at the bottom he'll take out the lite stone and wave it aroud to see what's to be seen. Perception: What's there?
Maksim's careful search reveals the concealed enterance to below. Stareing down into the inky blackness, Masikm says, "That'll be not a good place to go, it's small for us bigguns, and little light, we cannot sneak. I'll make a light for us but we'll be easy to see and target." Maksim picks up a small stone and cast a spell causing it to shine brightly. "I'm not sure should I call for Erastil specific aid now, or wait till we see what's down there?"
Maksim leads the way, noting old track but nothing else. Upon arrival he checks out for the enterance as quickly as possible. "Should be right around here." Perception:
"Aye, if it be done, best done quickly." Maksim wearly mounts up and prepare to do it all over again. Perception:
Maksim gives a weary sigh as he see the others come into view. He explains all that he has seen. At Andrej comment he replies, "Don't know warrior matters but it might, tracks seem to say a large bunch went off somewhat and never came back, groups were small after that, so who knows? And they have a kobold captive hard to say what that means."
Maksim notes interesting tracks, then winces as is foot steps on a branch which snaps loudly. After a quick look around to see if he was noticed he slithers off to rejoin the main group. Maksim will avoid any further encounters, if he can, till he rejoins the others.
Maksim notes the activity, He looks around briefly and silently to see if any spotters are around the area to warn the den of trouble. He then returns to the others, quietly, and reports all he learned. Perception: Any guards/spotter?
Maksim continues with "That's after a 1 or 2 to get there and same back, of course." I'm good to go.
Maksim replies to Egan, "Not sure, have to go slow, one-half hour seems about right."
Perception: See anything about? This roll is a cut and paste error but if you want to use it instead of the other I understand.
Maksim dismounts and hands the reins of his horse to Anza. Maksim looks over the area grimly. "I do not see a fire outside doing much harm to them, they live under the tree not in it, it's not large enough. So, if they live in a large burrow, really a cave under the tree, they'd be protected. They are small, but about your size I think Arielle, if they have any numbers it must be a large area." "I think I'm the best to scout it out, see if they have any sentries that I can spot." Unless otherwise disuaded Maksim slowly and alone walks toward the sycamore. He is looking for sentries or traps. He also checks for tracks trying to tell numbers, and to trace for the enterance. He is trying not to be noticed himself. Perception: What's there?
Sorry read that as setting sun not rising for some reason. So we are good to go then.
"If it be done best done quick. They are ready for us, and know our numbers at least, and saw us use magic. I'd like a night's rest if possible to regain favor used, it may take all we have to win. Also know that we go after their home, to slay all, be prepared for what needs be done." Maksim gives his dark warnings with a grim face but determined to end evil. Perception: See anything about?
"I thought ye mentioned such but I may be mistaken." Maksim rubs his beard thoughtfully. "Out running or riding the mites might work but I have no skill at riding, bit o' a gamble."
Maksim sees the little sign of the mites withdrawing but continues to have that feeling of being watched. "The mites have mostly left but I think a few are still scouting us." Maksim prepares to bury the body of the unfortunate victim, saying a few prayers over the body when done. "I know not your beliefs, that amulet suggests you were a servant of the bandit leader, it no longer matters to earthly folk. You met your end alone, without friend or family, may that be sufficient atonement. May your journey to Pharasma's judgement go swiftly and true. May Erastil and all the gods show you mercy." "Maybe, Egan, if this unfortunate soul, came to this place directly, those hills there are the likely area, such a distinctive tree, up high, should be easy to spot. Or we could just go the way we intended. Wherever we go, we need to be very wary."
Maksim will nock another arrow, waiting for any trouble about. "Be careful, Egan, there are many webs down there, it could all burn. The rock I had Erastil bless with light should allow you to see well enough."
Maksim drops the lit-up rock down. He then draws the bow back for a shot at the covered Spider RD ?: Begin: Round ?

Maksim pauses a second as he spots the spider. "Egan the spider is hiding in the deep corner almost covered by its webs. From the way its legs are drawn I'd say it ready to strike at any threat. Are you sure about using a flame? I could see those webs become a firestorm."
"I'll take a look Egan, but it's dark, far, and full of cover down there. Maybe I could toss a light?" Maksim picks up a small rock, mutters a quick prayer, [b]"Great Lord, may the light of your love shine through to guide us."[b] Maksim casts light on a small rock. Perception: If not stopped, Maksim will throw a lit up stone down the shaft.
Maksim continues, "We're are somewhat surrounded by those mites. The spider I think can wait, it'll likely not attack again unless we provoke it. The mites, though, may take any chance we give them."
Maksim says, "That way I see one and there are others further away. As for problems chasing that's why Ol' Deadeye gave us the bow." Maksim draws bow prepared to fire, but waits for leaders to call fire. Maksim, "Mi'Lords, I'm sure I could hit one at least from here, if that be your will."
Not sure it's needed right now but, Ignan:
"Egan,Arielle, the more important issue is there are mites nearby, I see one only 80' away, in the direction I'm pointing my arrow, behind rocks and bushes." Maksim has his bow in one hand with an arrow pinched between two fingers of the same hand. He tries to casually point the arrow toward the nearest mite. Turning his face in a direction away from the mite, Maksim whispers in common, "Mites nearby, one about 80' away as I point my arrow, look behind rocks and bushes."
Maksim is shocked at the spider's speed but at Egan statement repeats to Silva, "Lord Silva, Egan requests that you break the cover to the spider's den." Maksim sees Silva's attempt fail. Maksim then looks around to see if there are others challenges about to befall them. Perception:
Maksim nods at Andrej's statement, "Aye, that's true, weaken then kill, more tricks will lie ahead." Maksim will move behind Silva and cast Shield Others, "By Law and Deed we are bound, so shall the Law-Speaker of Old shall share our blood. Lord Silva, I'll take some of your wounds, so that you can stand in the heart of battle longer." Perception:
