Meredith Dawnfire's page

Meredith sighs as confrontation seems unavoidable at this point. She spurs Rain into action, letting her training take control. She lowers her lance and charges into battle.

You said the leader was behind a line of bandits so I'm assuming I don't have a way to get him, so this would be against the closest bandit. If I CAN get tot he leader, this would for sure be against him, instead, and I would Challenge him for +1 attack, +1 damage, and -2 AC to anyone not challenged.

Rain
Ride DC 5 to guide Rain: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Rain charges up to 100'

Meredith dips her lance to the side to force the bandit to move to other side. As the bandit moves, the lance swings back into his path.
Meredith
Feint (Bluff) DC 10+BAB+Wis mod: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Lance attack (attack+charge+elevation): 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 27
Lance damage x2: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
x2 so 16 damage if its a hit

I'm -2 AC after my charge.

100% still mounted, my mount is not from Jamandi

This is all very new to Meredith, she's kind of been taking Harter's lead since the beginning.

Until he gets the one provided by Erastil at level 5, yes...

And even then, I'm thinking of an elk which is much more on brand than a horse, but they come medium size, and only become large on the advancement at level 7, so it'll be a while before he can ride it.

That's a cool concept. I don't really know much about pathfinders dieties, but just read up on him. Would a moose fit the theme?

Also, I've asked before and would really like to know. May we add our horses to our sheets and name them?

You thinking this will be your paladin mount down the road? I like it.

Meredith calmly walks Rain over a few steps, lining up a clearer route to the bandit leader. At Harter's words, she looks at him with surprise, never having heard this side of him before. She quickly shakes it off, though, and returns her attention to the thugs.

Please take the bait and leave peacefully

Piret watches the old man run off with a puzzled frown. When he's gone, she turns to the others.

"We're fairly sure that wasn't Oleg, right?"

"I sincerely hope not, for a variety of reasons."

Meredith unbuckles the lance strapped to the side of Rain, and enters the gate with everyone else, lance held straight up, but ready to lower for the charge if the necessity deems itself.

"Did we hear emissaries of the Stag Lord?"

I'm going to start teaching my horse the Track trick during our journey. It'll take a week total, I'll track the days trained on my sheet.

Meredith finishes strapping down the last of the buckling on the red on gold background padded armor barding of a large dark brown horse. She gives the stallion a quick scratch behind its ears before mounting.

"Oleg Leveton's trading post. Understood. I pray he has leads we can use. We'll aim to finish this trial as quickly as possible, but I promise you, no corners will be cut."

"I have no doubt that you will find Harter to be innocent, but thank you for keeping us in the know regarding the investigation. I've no questions and am ready to depart."

Meredith raises a gauntleted hand to her breast and lowers her head, "I believe I have already made my choice clear, Lady Jamandi, but I will state it again. I will travel to the Stolen Lands with Harter."

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12

Meredith leans on her blade after the melee, catching her breath. At the gnome's outburst, she frowns, casting an incredulous look at the purple gnome. "Oh, I very much doubt that. We practically grew up together racing horses at my father's stables every summer. He's never brought this king Irovetti up before."

Gaxi sees all the chaos going on, and his scales flash briliant colors of orange, yellow and red.

“BURN, BURN TO ASHES!” the kobold screams, immediately putting his magic to work, setting any foe he can on fire, cackling in pure euphoria of a blazing crescendo.

Meredith ducks to avoid an errant jet of flame and calls out to Daxiana on the other side of the hall, "It seems your friend DOES know a bit of Taldane!"

Meredith nods at Harter's rally. "I'm with you. Come Master Sven, and show them your hammer!"

Turning to the purple gnome, she issues a warning, "Stay here with Stanslaw. You'll be far safer here than there. Now's not the time for questions."

She turns back to the mob-like brawl and means to start forging a path towards the dome of force. Shield in hand, sword swinging in calculated movements, and gold with silvery etched scale mail reflecting the arcane lightshow show her determined mission.

"You're just in time! A bit longer and I'd have been... ugh, I don't even want to think about it! Can you imagine? What a terrible loss that would have been! But it's all right now, I'm safe, sound, and unscathed -- ready to lead you to victory!"

He continues,
"Lady Jamandi is holding the line in the banquet hall. We need to make our way to her! And along the way, we'll try to save some of these dummies that were supposed to accompany us into the Stolen Lands."

Hopefully Elaina doesn't annoy anyone OOC. She comes on strong.

I love her already.

Meredith is NG, leaning more towards CG in overall disposition when it comes to helping those in need. If it matters haha.

"If they've got enough prepped for us, I suppose. I'm taking my bow back when I leave this room regardless," She's still a bit sour about that.

"That's it! I was wondering why you looked so naked this entire time. The fidgeting should've clued me off," Meredith exclaims.

She looks around as the short newcomer comes in, exclaiming glee and fawning over Ikit. "Oh, oh no, I wouldn't... yeah, I don't think touching it is a good idea. You didn't miss much, just the overall outline for our mission over the next weeks. Targets, lays of the land, expedition outfitting, the normal. But you ARE just in time for the posturing and dividing of factions. You know, the usual," she adds with a smile.

Character sheets: I need your profile to have a complete chatracter sheet. As I said above, if you like, I can send the Hero Lab format sheet for ease.

I don't know what Hero Lab is, but if it makes it easier I won't turn it down.

After taking it all in, Meredith nods.

"If I'm honest, I care little for the politics behind the drive for it, but liberating the lands from bandits and the like is a worthy pursuit in itself. I've never been part of any such expeditions, though. Is tomorrow morning enough time to outfit ourselves," she asks the small group she's with.

Meredith watches the proceedings with a bemused expression.

"I'm just surprised they let him in, but I'll not begrudge him his dragonhood status if it saves me from a fiery death," she says, watching the kobold scurry back behind Daxiana.

She shakes her head to Stanislaw's question, "No, this is far from a family matter. I feel I'd have been the last one they sent if that were case. This is entirely a personal venture."

"Harter! It HAS been a while. There's been so much going on taht we haven't been able to get a chance and head out your way lately. And don't you know, they wouldn't let Rain inside, no matter what I promised of his intentions," she says, grinning. "No, he's outside, some hands are taking care of him, or better be."

She turns to the group she's with, and starts introductions, "This is Daxiana and Stanislaw Medvyed. This here is Aelbourne Callandriil of the Restov guard. And the little fellow shivering behind Daxiana we believe to be Gax." She leans in conspiratorially and whispers, "We don't believe he speaks a lick of Taldane."

Chuckling, she stands back up, "But at least Aelbourne here seems to be able to speak with it. Everyone, this is Harter, an old childhood friend."

Also, Meredith could have inspired him to learn how to ride. Harter is going for the mount divine bond, and one of his archetypes is focused on that, so it's an interesting dynamic to have, maybe slightly competitive?

I love it, let's do it.

Meredith looks over towards the small group, and grins. "Ha! I shouldn't be surprised to see you here, Daxiana. I heard what happened, even out our way."

She raises an eye at the kobold before turning to Stanislaw, smiling warmly, "I know what brings Daxiana, but does the Church have business here, or is it personal? Forgive me if I'm prying."

Turning her attention to the half elf, extending her arm in greeting, "That is a fine blade you have, Sir...?"

Flicking her eyes towards the head of the room, she says quietly, "Jamandi Aldori, this should prove very interesting."

Hi hi! Excited to be here!

I'd def be interested in ties with other characters. Mere comes from a minor noble house, wasn't happy with her lot in life, took off to avoid an arranged marriage (that seems to be a minor theme here lol), off to make her mark on the world. Don't know if anyone else would want to fit in that in with their own, but I'm open.

A tall human woman walks in the door wearing scale armor. The armor is well maintained, other than the mud flecks around the lower legs, suggesting she quickly came a long distance by horseback. A house sigil adorns both the armor and a shield she carries lightly strapped to her back. her auburn hair catches the last of the sun as the door closes behind her. As she comes into teh spacious hall, she looks around at the large crowd, trying to pick out faces and names that she can.

"I hope I didn't miss Lady Aldori's speech..."

Knowledge Nobility: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Stat blocks for Meredith and Rain finished.

You guys are fast in cranking these out. I might be too late for this one. But submitting anyways!

I'll start working on the character sheet.
