Good luck everyone! Don't let the nerves get to you ;)
Looking at the different Mythic Tiers, I could see Marhok going Champion as the most likely, but Guardian has several nice abilities that would also work for what I've planned for Marhok. Retributive Reach from the Guardian for example, is very fitting for coming levels. As I can see several different submissions have been written down in the spreadsheet with two different paths, does that mean they could go either way or they want to dip into another path as well? Also GM, could you mark me down as an Unchained Barbarian please?
I would also play out his combat-attitude out as a semi-flaw of Marhok. During battle it seems like becomes a totally different man, so he could snap at people, not physically hurt his allies, but appear demeaning and condescending. Which totally contradicts his easy-going demeanor out of combat. I'm rolepaying it out that the demonic energy from the ritual and the dragon-blood compete for control, so his attitude shifts depending on what he's doing. Also, I will complete my purchases of weapons/armour and mundane gear if selected. It always takes up a lot of time ^^
Alright, so I've had a 97 before racial adjustments (+2 STR).
Which would take me to these scores before racial modifiers.
STR would become 20 with the +2 from human. I'm not adding the +1 anywhere as that would take me over the limit again. I will adjust my char sheet accordingly.
Alright, This is Rocan's submission, will tweak some things, especially regarding outfit and gear. Let's roll that again
I think his backstory is complete, though GM, I'm wanting to ask two things. Questions:
I took a trait (Stolen Fury) and drawback (Foul Brand) that reflect he has been used in a ritual by cultists, though in my background I mention that he has been left with a scar in the shape of a sign of a demon lord. If that's okay with you, I'd like to confer which Demon Lord it might have been and what the Foul Brand actually could do.
Normally according to the Drawback, the brand is either on your face or on your hand. At the moment, because I've written it was carved on his chest, it could make him bleed, be fatigued for a round or two, perhaps make him staggered for 1 round when facing certain types of demons. Also his Flaw is reflected in this trait and drawback, so I'm not opposed to making the drawback a bit worse to roleplay this out. Marhok would probably go the Champion route, though Guardian route is also a possibility as I am planning to take the Stand Still Feat down the line and work with a reach weapon.
I'm fine with that Mini, take your time.
"It should be Marlowe," Marhok tells Irabeth, "He fought with us in many a battle, proved his worth and talent, and his versatility. If he's willing I'll have no other beside me and Edric." "I'll gather up some more personal supplies. My own stock has run out."
Not sure, I'll have to look that up to see if I like the changes. Only thing I knew was that there was ragecycling added to barbarians. For now I would say no.
I'll be off tomorrow Mini, I'll be back late in the evening.
I'll incorporate these changes into Marhok's profile later today, I'm set to carry on however.
Marhok's level:
HP + 12(Barb)+2(Con)+5(Champion)= +19
Champion Path ability: Titan's Bane
Skills: +1 to Acrobatics, Swim, Knowledge Nature, Survival, Perception
Edric: +1 level of Cleric
Skills: +1 to Knowledge Planes, Spellcraft, Diplomacy and Intimidate.
I'll be off for the weekend Mini, unable to post. Sorry for the late info.
Marhok looks bloodied, but he is still in the fight.
Edric casts a Bless spell and Marhok roars a defiant roar, before chopping away at the chimera.
Marhok is able to roll away quite quickly to avoid the brunt of the icy asault, but Edric is hit full on and shivers and winces when the icy cold projectiles hit him. "Edric?! You okay?" Marhok shouts. "I'm okay. Just a little cold that's all. Return the favour to it will you?" Edric shivers but then starts to cast a spell.
Marhok's eyes flare as he looks back at te three-headed monster before him. "You've made a bad decision coming here. RaaAAAHHH!!" Marhok charges the beast with all his might and tries to do as much damage to it as possible.
Marhok will drink a potion of Enlarge Person, then drink another one of Bull's Strength. Edric has no idea as to what kind of beast this is and aims to protect Him and Marhok by casting Protection from Evil on them both.
Edric and Marhok go back to the mausoleum and Edric finishes his work there by consecrating the area thereby cleansing it of any undead taint. Afterwards Edric comes back to Marhok and sighs.
Marhok places a strong hand on Edric's shoulder. [b]"We will, my friend. We will. But first let's take some time to check for those potions Irabeth mentioned.
Lvl 0: Stabilize, Detect Magic, Read Magic, Mending
Marhok, Edric and Murago take a relatively slow walk back toward the main camp during which Marhok complements both Edric and Murago on their fine work. "Murago, I thought I was fast at defeating my enemies, but you are no slouch as well. I'm glad we have you on our side. I'll let the others know of your usefullness and skill." When the group gets back to the main camp, Marhok tells Irabeth everything that happened and includes Murago's skill of blades. Unless she has more to tell them, he and Edric will take some sleep and heal up.
Marhok moves over to help Edric and closes the distance so he can swing at one of the flanking tieflings. Edric sees Marhok is about to close the distance and takes out his mace to flank with him, though he keeps a defensive posture about him.
Edric drops his crossbow, takes out his mace and takes a total defensive stance.
Marhok slams into the first of the tieflings, rage flashing in his eyes.
Marhok and Edric will take a look upwards to see if they notice anything coming towards them, and also take a step back from the wall of the ravine to do so.
I'm back from the holidays. Ready when you are Mini.
Marhok rushes to the other one and slams his sword into it.
Edric shoots at the beast as well.
Just to give you a heads up Mini, I'll be out for the Easter holidays, starting tomorrow morning, sadly that's about 4 days.
Marhok charges at the next closest beast in sight and aims to attack it with all his fury.
Edric fires at the same enemy again with his crossbow.
Marhok moves over to the next creature which Murigo was already assaulting and tries to cleave it in two.
Edric keeps a readied shot for when other targets other than the beasts present themselves.
Marhok moves close while invisible and drinks his last potion of Enlarge Person while he moves, having drawn it from his pack before Arvanshnial cast Feather falling on them.
Marhok moves closer to the beasts and aims to strike one of them while enlarged with his greatsword.
Edric moves a little closer and readies his crossbow to fire at any of the accompanying spellcasters for the first one to cast a spell, knowing that Marhok can handle melee attackers.
Marhok scracthes his beard and then comes to a conclusion.
"Marlowe? Can you ask Murigo if he likes to join me on a mission? Then we can make the arrangements as soon as possible and get this hurdle done with."
Marhok nods when both Aron and Arvanshnial speak up and smiles back. "Neither I or Edric are good with using scrolls, so either you come with us Arvanshnial or someone who could use those scrolls on us. Nurah perhaps? I'd take the stealth approach over the quick and reckless approach if we need to keep that bridge. My idea is have three of us be Invisible, cross the bridge and take out the beasts before their masters can muster them to bring down the pillars of the bridge."
"Hmm... It is a bit of a dilemma. Arvanshnial? Can you cast Invisibility on us? If not I'd reckon my stealth approach might not be that good in that case we have to rush and deal as much damage possible to take those beasts out. Aron? Can your horse carry two people at the same time? If so you and I could ride together and be swift in our killing of these beasts. If that couldn't work I might have best ask this 'Murigo' fellow to accompany me, do as much damage as possible between the two of us."
Marhok thinks to himself and then replies to Irabeth. "I'm not the stealthiest of people, neither is Edric in his heavy armour. We can try a strike against those cultists, but I might need some help to do it. If I want to take them by chance I might need some magical help to be more light-footed or invisible alltogether. Any information about how many of those beasts there are? I could kill those beasts before I kill any cultists accompanying them, thereby taking out the threat of the bridge foundations collapsing. Though to have a good chance to do so I may need a special weapon to slay those beasts faster than I do with my greatsword." Marhok looks along the rest of the leaders and councillors among the army council and then at Edric. "I am game for this particular mission, but who could best aid us in this endeavour? Also what point would you strike as a distraction Irabeth?"
"I'm afraid not, I've mainly prepared defensive spells for Marhok and you. I didn't think about Consecrate spells yet." Edric admits to Marlowe. Marhok walks up to him and lays a hand on his shoulder. "We made the area safe for now, we can always come back tomorrow and cleanse this place. We can't be prepared for everything you know, we can try, but it's not as if we're not human."
Edric looks at Marlowe, scratches his head and then looks through his pack. "Well I'm not sure how to dispel that, but I can try to consecrate this place like I did that temple to Abadar." He digs up two flasks of holy water from his pack and says. "These have worked before, hopefully this will do the trick yet again." Edric opens up one flask and goes sprinkles its contents around in a large circle around the room and chants in a prayer to Abadar. "Abadar! O Protector of men and cities! Bless this tomb of the fallen so they may rest peacefully in their slumber, protecting the souls of those who have fallen in battle in this city of Drezen." Edric finishes one circle and moves closer to the center of the room and begins a smaller concentric circle sprinkling the other flask of holy water in larger amounts this time. "Abadar, hear our prayer! Let this place come to rest and let your followers live in peace in Drezen yet again!"
Marhok and Edric search the place for anything interesting, anything valuable or worth destroying or saving from destruction.
Marhok looks behind him and nods approvingly and smiles. "Seems I wasn't even needed in here. Nicely done you two. You two are the heroes of this encounter." Marhok's eyes look calm once again and he walks over to the creature. He looks at it with a disdainful look, then drives his greatsword through it just to make sure it doesn't stand up. "Let's see if we can find anything of value in here and then rejoin the army. They'll be glad to hear of our success."
"No chance of that you undead scourge!" Edric begins channeling energy again to damage the undead.
"Enough of this idle chat. I'll not be toyed with." Marhok stands his ground and readies his greatsword when the thing comes within reach. Edric however knows this is an undead and steps up behind Marhok, channeling energy at the creature to hurt it where it stings.
Marhok misses Edric and snaps out of the confusion. He looks very apolegetically at Edric, then turns around and faces the undead scourge. "Enough of your games, face me as an equal!"
Edric notices what happened to Marhok and rushes towards him to try and tries to dispel the magical effects affecting him. "Hold on Marhok!"
"That's a Berbalang, a nasty undead monstrosity if I've ever seen one Marhok. Here you'll need my help to do more damage to it." Marhok frees up one hand from his greatsword to dig up a potion from his bandolier and down it the next moment, then he takes up his greatsword again and holds it for Edric to enchant it. Edric touches the large blade and calls for Abadar to grant it the strength and imbue it with the force of good.
Marhok shakes off the effect with ease and looks at the undead scourge with thinly veiled contempt. Marhok asks quickly to Edric and Marlowe. "What kind of creature is this?" Edric tries to discern what kind of creature it is.
"If my kind of knock is needed yes, let's see first if the door's already open for us."
Before trying to push it open Marhok and Edric take a look for any traps on it.
