Markas Songsteel's page

DoctorEvil I haven't looked at the party, but I have a few characters that can run something. Markas is a level 2 fighter. I have a wizard as well if that's needed.

"Hard to believe so many people have been in the Society throughout its history. Sometimes we forget how many have come before us." Markas says as he looks over the long list of names.

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Though Markas was born in Absalom and is familiar with some of its local history, nothing aside from the names he's reading comes to mind as important. "Henrick, I agree they have to be of some importance, but was is the likelihood they have anything to do with our mission now? Many people have visited this wall, there is no telling who underlined these words or why."

As Markas speaks to Henrick, one of the names catches his attention even more than the others. "Doulgonlir Caskmail" he says, "This was the name we found with the letter. Anybody got any ideas? It would appear we are in the right place at least based on that information."

"So is this Doulgonlir Caskmail supposed to be a Pathfinder? Pretty unusual name, so it should be easy to track this person down. I'm with Nazza though. Never a big fan or wizard's and their tricks...prefer to smash things with my hammer."

Markas takes up the letter in his hand and looks it over, hoping maybe something was missed but ultimately finding their wasn't. "Nazza, go check the basement. Maybe you can get some more information, but it seems unlikely."

"The big question now looming, where to next? I would give a suggestion but I think the only person I'm more useful than in terms of solving puzzles or riddles is our muscly buddy Saitama here," Markas says as he pats the bald paladin on the shoulder.

"Well Nazza, I guess it's a good thing we aren't really equipped to sneak around very much. I'm sure they are well aware of our presence now" Markas says as he flashes a grin. "Personally, I'd rather them know. Wouldn't want to catch them off guard too much."

Upon seeing Fimbrik browsing the book collection, Markas turns to the group. "Did anyone else see him sleeping just a second ago? Something strange seems to be taking part here."

Not until Markas joined the society had he started learning more about dungeons, so the fighter tries to remember anything he can with his limited knowledge that may be of some use to the group.

Know Dungeon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

But the fighter's limited knowledge proves to be just that...limited. Instead the fighter focuses on his next option, just bashing the creature's head in. With his warhammer in hand, Markas closes the distance between him and the creature and swings.

Power Attack

Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 1 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

"No point not to find out what is down here," Markas says as he walks towards the front of the group.

Markas takes special note of Janira off at her table with the new recruits and thinks back to his time of Confirmation within the society. "Saitama, have you had the pleasure yet of undergoing your Confirmation with Janira? She really knows her lore and history of this area." Before hearing Saitama's answer Markas takes a seat at the bar. "Bartender, I'll take an ale over here, and whatever my friend would like," Markas says motioning at Saitama.

"You say Sir Reinhart is going to attempt the Test of the Starstone? When is this going to take place?"

A young man with short cropped brown hair and clad in armor from head to foot comes running up to the group. Still trying to catch his breath, "Are you the group I was told to catch up with?" the young fighter struggles to say. He takes a few quick breaths, "I am Markas Songsteel. Born and raised here in Absalom. I was told I was running late and to catch up with my party here. Looks like I might have caught you before you went too far!" Markas says as a grin spreads across his face.

For the first time since catching up to the group, Markas takes a moment to look everyone over. "Looks like we have a pretty diverse group here. I'll be providing everyone a nice shield and hammer to hide behind in the event it's needed. Could someone catch me up on our mission, don't want to be the only one here without a clue what we are supposed to be doing?"

So I finally updated my character sheet, sorry been really busy.

My Initiative is the only thing that changed as it is now +6 instead.

Sorry passed out last night so didn't update my character. Will do so tonight then do my intro post.

Day Job (Blacksmith): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Initiative: +2
Perception: -1

I have updated Markas' to level 2 on my character sheet at home, but apparently never uploaded that information onto Paizo. I will do that tonight before we get the game going.

Another fun one Revvy. Thanks again, for all 3 you've run for me and the others. Get to level Markas up to level 2 now

Markas takes up his scimitar and attempts to take a chunk of flesh from Lady Riverbane.

"And to think we were sent here to help you. Let's end this then."

Power Attack

Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 1 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

Sorry was busy with the holiday. I'm not trained in climb so that wouldn't have worked regardless.

"Further proof you can't trust a pirate. Well I guess we will just do to you the same thing we did to the monster inside."

Reflex Save: 1d20 ⇒ 5

As the lady casts the spell, Markas tightens his grip on his weapon hoping to stop it from slipping, but the grease is to strong as the weapon slips from his hand and crashes to the ground.

"You continue to show why we shouldn't have trusted you to begin with," Markas says as he draws his scimitar. "I think I'm actually going to enjoy this."

Free Action - Drop Warhammer
Move Action - Draw Scimitar
Standard Action - Attack

Markas attempts to climb up to investigate things a little further.

Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

But the combined weight of his armor and weapons prevents him from climbing high enough to truly get a good look at things.

Markas takes a step up and swings at the ettercap.

Power Attack, Flag, Inspire Courage, Moment of Greatness

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 12

Markas double moves to get close enough to the ettercap to attack on the next round.

Thanks. You're right.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Markas moves another 30 feet closer to the monster.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I'm assuming Molos and Elsabeth are readying attacks? Since the creature is approximately 100 feet away lol.

Markas tries to get closer to the creature, all while avoiding the many webs located in the room.

Markas double moves (60 ft). Position on map updated.

"Someone cut him free quickly, we don't need to wait and see how many of those spiders show up." Markas moves towards the web with Molos and draws his scimitar to hack at the webs.

Any kind of roll needed here?

"Thank you my friend for tending to my wounds."

Markas follows the lead of Daniloth and whispers to the party, "Daniloth sees something, everyone quiet."

Reflex Save: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Markas attempts to react quickly to the floor giving way underneath him, but the weight of the armor and his lack of agility cause him to land hard at the bottom of the pit.

5 damage. 8/13 HP

After climbing out, "Anyone able to tend to these cuts and bruises before we move further?"

Survival Aid Another: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Survival Aid Another: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Survival Aid Another: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Survival Aid Another: 1d20 ⇒ 13

I would guess Daniloth would be best for survival rolls since he's a ranger. Daniloth, do you agree?

-Posted with Wayfinder

I will march in the front of course. Best I be there for anything that surprises us.

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Elsabeth should finish it but just in case, I'll attack.

Power Attack, Flag, Inspire Courage

Markas takes another swing at the nearby spider.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 1 + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

"Could use a little help getting out of these webs!" Markas yells out. While waiting he takes aim at the nearby spider.

Power Attack

Attack Red Spider: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 12
Damage Red Spider: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 12

Markas will do his best to swing at the nearby spider.

Power Attack, Flag, Inspire Courage

Attack Blue Spider: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 16
Damage Blue Spider: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

"Well that makes for an interesting sight to start this part of the adventure. Definitely some large spiders to be able to catch a ship in the web." Markas checks over his gear and takes up his warhammer in his right hand, then steps towards the front of the group.

"Take a good look friends. Obviously the things we are going to run into are not friendly, and based on looks, not small. Be prepared, and keep an eye out. We don't want to get ambushed by anything."

Markas begins to disembark the ship as he yells out once more. "Jiro come to the front with me please, I need your eyes to keep a watch for traps or anything suspicious. Daniloth you do the same but from the rear."

"Jiro and Daniloth focus on taking out the archers, I will take care of the last one standing here."

Markas spins from the fallen pirate at his feet and takes aim at the pirate still standing.

Power Attack, Masterwork Weapon, Inspire Courage, Flag

Attack Purple Pirate: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 13
Damage Purple Pirate: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 10

"You guys keep cutting those lines, I'll start taking care of the ones already onboard!"

With that, Markas draws his weapon and takes aim at the nearby pirate.

Power Attack, Masterwork Weapon

Attack Red Pirate: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 1 = 13
Damage Red Pirate: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

"Lady, the sooner we are fully equipped the sooner we can find your companions. As Fronar has pointed out, we don't wish to cause you any pain but anything of note you can tell us about these spiders will better prepare us. Are we talking large spiders, or swarms of smaller ones, because each one will need to be fought differently." Markas continues to walk towards Lady while on the vessel hoping for an answer to the party's questions.

"I don't want to put myself or my allies in any danger that we are not prepared for. The information you have can help us ensure success."

Markas listens intently as the information is divulged to the group.

Glad to see Fronar, Seijiro, and Daniloth again. Our familiarity should help us again.

The young looking fighter wears a stoic look as the others ask questions. So far as a Pathfinder, Markas had been sent on a few missions and his previous inexperience was no longer an issue. He knew he had his warhammer by his side whenever it was needed and he was comforted with that thought.

"Is there anything further you can tell us about what your crew may have ran into? The better prepared we are, the more likely we return safely."

Dot for later

Mine is good as well. Thanks

I'm here as well.

Markas Songsteel checking in as well.

Awesome job again Revvy and thanks for a great game. I will definitely be joining both games. Just got to get my PC's sorted out for who will go where. Need another game to finish first as well.

"Since it appears we have seen all that there is to see, let's head back" Markas says in agreement with Fronar.

"The gillmen should find that their cave is free from intruders now as well."

Markas strides over to his dropped warhammer and picks it up. He puts his scimitar back on his side and walks up to party.

"These gillmen don't deserve such a fate. Sounds like we need to find this dhampir and stop his plan before it gets started. Or perhaps it already has."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Thanks for the clarification. Any of the two you listed from Vohnkar's list sounds good to me. As well as In Service to Lore if Vohnkar runs it. Would run it with a different PC

-Posted with Wayfinder

I can run anything as well. Upon completion of this, I will only have completed the 2 you have been the GM.

I'm currently in:

The Disappeared
Destiny of the Sands
Slave Pits of Absalom
Prince of Augustana
Snows of Summer

So ideally I would like to not run those again, but Markas hasn't played them so I could if they were chosen.

Markas moves within range of the zombie and aims for another kill with his scimitar.

Power Attack, Flag, Inspire Courage

Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 - 1 + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 4 = 12

-Posted with Wayfinder

Down to 8/13

Markas tries to mentally recover from the zombie's attack and compose himself. After a few seconds, he regains his composure and decides to heed Fronar's words this time. Markas drops his warhammer, and draws the scimitar from his side.

Power Attack, Flag, Inspire Courage

Attack Red Zombie: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 24
Damage Red Zombie: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 10
Confirm Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 16
Confirm Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 10

This time, Markas makes up for his failed attack by connecting with the zombie with a powerful blow.

Total of 20 damage if the confirm attack hit as well

Been going on to me a lot lately in my games. Just rolled a 1 in a different game on a climb check...going down. Going to be bad.

Markas takes sight of his allies doing their best to dispatch the enemies and moves closer to assist. Markas decides to forego the information Fronar was able to tell the party, deciding that a well placed blow with a warhammer would still cause enough damage to drop the zombie.

Markas then takes a swing at the nearby zombie, aiming specifically for the head hoping to cave it in.

Power Attack, Masterwork Weapon, Flag, Inspire Courage

Attack Red Zombie: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7
Damage Red Zombie: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 8

WOW double 1's...brutal

Unfortunately, Markas' thought process proves wrong as he is unable to make contact with the zombie. Perhaps the zombie's slow speed confused the young fighter.

"Sounds good Jiro." Markas walks ahead of the group and leads the way back to the gillman.

Once we are there I say we continue down the tunnel we haven't explored

If a recall there was a fork in the road after the kobolds. We chose to help Janira. Let's return there maybe? Unless someone has another idea.

"Janira I'm glad you are feeling better now. If you insist on not joining us then we will part ways with you now." Markas walks over and pats Janira on the shoulder. "Rest my friend. We will see you when we return from our mission."

Markas begins the trek back to the cave before stopping to address the group. "I believe Vohnkar could use a little more healing. Then we need to continue moving."
