Moshley Bodrick's page

Guys I can't keep up with this pace. I am too busy with college to be able to also do this besides it. I currently run 3 projects and my normal classes, and I haven't even be able yet to do anything on the classes. This will finish in a bout a month and a halve, summer break, and then I will go on a holiday for about 2 weeks. So the next two months I wouldn't be able to post properly. So I rather leave and not slow you down instead of just dragging along.

If there is room Moshley will move up to Jimmy, if not he will stay where he is.

Moshley moves forward a bit more and waits, since he can't do anything from this angle.
"Jim, you alright?"

Map update

Moshley moves in behind Tristain and grabs his crossbow.
"Are you with the bastards or not? If not then lay down your weapons."
He yells at the people upstairs.
Double move action, I assume there are also movement squares outside the door? I moved with this in thought, so if not then I want to move behind Tristain.

Map update

I've had a really long day and I'm kinda tired, will post tomorrow again.

At tarvi's place
"The poor little fellow. A shame, I think he didn't deserve this."
Moshley follows the others back to the safehouse.

"Well that was close! So now for the real deal. Gorvio? You will lead us with the scouting?"

I have some money still so won't mind. We do need the wand at next lvl, so mind that you don't give it away before that :P

Moshley turns to the group.
"Well so much for gaining some profit today. Does everyone have their cloaks with them? We could go scout now and move in during the evening or night. As long as we're indoors by then everything should work out fine on the planning part. I don't think we could help any of the merchants though, we need to be at the source of that problem to help them."
He nods to himself, thinking it a very good idea.

Moshley sits waiting for the others.
"Whatever we do I am ready to go. Although we still need to decide if we want to scout first or just charge in. The thieving equipment is a good idea by the way Tristain, I wouldn't really be able to use it though."
He looks down at his small body, a bit ashamed.

Moshley addresses the whole group.
"I don't know what would be wise. It both sounds viable."
He seems ponder on the subject a bit and then continues.
"No actually, I think we should scout first and then assault. If we know more about the area we could move more efficient, and we would have a higher chance of surviving. So I side with Jimmy. What is your opinion Gorvio?"

Gorvio and I might need a potion of CLW but we will stay way back if possible, so it would only for emergency's. If the frontline needs it more then that would be better.

Sorry guys wasn't able to post yesterday, my mother got hospitalized. So I have been busy with that from morning till evening. I will try to catch up today, but please forgive me if I don't make it.

Ah I wanted to ask if it were possible to let him join the group... but 15 platinum is a bit much. So that deal is off. Would have liked the idea though! ^^

Really? xD Why Slaves 'R' Us? It's really terrible! Although I had to laugh a bit at the name.

I've seen the documentaries before too, the praising always comes back indeed... Although strong religious people do that still nowadays, maybe not that bad but still. ^^

By the way a question. I want to purchase a slave, more in the sense to set him free or to let him join the group if he wants to. If I have the money ofcourse. Is this allowed?

The group names in the list are oke, but ours aren't bad either :) I will think some more on it today.

Moshley hears him out and thinks for a bit before answering.
"It was another sector, and yes it was someone of considerable wealth. Unfortunate they didn't catch the thief. They stole and we think they also trashed the place and then left a coin."

"That thing... is our companion. I rather not you treat him like that."
Now that the b-team has left he addresses Franklin.
"My name is Moshley, pleased to meet you. Although under these circumstances."
He hears Franklin out and responds.
"We've seen these coins before. and they don't mean anything good at all. You are not the only one with these worries, that's why it is hard to hire anyone."
He turns to Tristain with a look of despair.
"It's not only safe to not move about at night, we also aren't safe in our own homes anymore."

"Sounds like a plan, but let's not split up. Let's just investigate with the four of us."
Moshley replies to Tristain.
He thinks a moment to get his bearing.
"Ah yes it's that way!"
And he point in the direction to go.
"We take a right at that intersection and then at the next cross-section we take a left. If we follow that street we will arrive at Rego Pena."
He starts walking in the direction he just pointed out.

Moshley looks a bit sad at Gorvio walking away.
"I understand."

Moshley looks at the group pondering on a good name. He responds to Tristain.
"Night's end sounds good, but how do we create our mark? We need something to show who we are."
He seems to ponder on it for a bit.
"It sounds a bit dark though, might fit all that we're going through but still. Well I can't of anything else actually. Oh! Night's bane perhaps? Sounds fairly the same..."
After another moment of silence.
"We could perhaps make bright cloaks with an insignia, or maybe some sort of ornament to mark us or the cloak?"

Heading off for tonight guys!

"Ah yes I have noticed your eyes, but not necessarily as evil"
Moshley said with a smile.
"So, what was your occupation before you entered the rebellion? Me and Jimmy are performers! But not like that filth we saw earlier today. We are performers who act in the old ways."

Moshley hears out Gorvio, with a look of great understanding.
"Jimmy and I lost our parents years ago, and have no family left anymore either. It's hard. And I wouldn't say evil. Just because some far relative gave you these powers doesn't mean that you are evil. Do you see me as evil, I have the same power's as you do. And what we did today before everything went awry was for the good of the city."
He grabs the man's shoulder to comfort him.

If need be I will take a 10 on diplomacy making it 19, to comfort and convince him.

Well if the actor keeps coming back, then yes. xD

Moshley sits down next to Gorvio.
"Are you alright? A lot happened today."

Just some idle talk and b-team bonding, fine by me if you want to move on.

Moshley whispers to Gorvio.

Moshley turns to Jimmy, now ignoring the actor. A terrible stillness has come over him. He stows his crossbow.
"Jim, let's leave. There will come a day when we meet them again. It will most likely be a better time. We will not forget this day. Gorvio will you join us? We are leaving."

If I were not the first one responding I would have attacked him... I really hate that guy.

Moshley follows Jimmy and sees him standing there.

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Moshley talks to Jacovo after the actor had his say.
"Horses for FREE? We just payed you dearly and you are giving this eel free horses? He is the biggest ass I have ever met in this city! You should ask him extra for being this rude!"

The actor moves over to the ladies, and offends them dearly. Moshley grabs his crossbow in case of the worst happening. He still has his buckler secured to his off-hand.
"Hey prick! First I ask you that you stop your babbling and pay this merchant honest gold since you are this almighty well paid actor. And second to stop insulting our company. Else I will use this and make sure you never walk this earth again."
This coming from the fairly small gnome.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 4 = 7

"Jimmy I think it is unwise to take the horses and also the carriage. If we take those in the city a lot of questions will be asked. Come, let us leave on our own horses."
Moshley begins to walk towards the horses, still with the two swords in his hands.

Moshley hobbles after Jimmy and grabs two swords to lighted his load, which are already very heavy for him. He turns to Ariel to answer his questions.
"She is save, for now. And we have a spare horse for you waiting a bit from here, although there are enough to come by here anyways. Anyways, Are you yourself alright? Have you any news for us?"
He looks to Jimmy and his still very heavy load.
"Also would you mind to help my brother here with some of the load?"

Moshley moves from his hiding place and moves to Shanwen to check for any keys.

perception check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"He must have hidden it in a secret pocket or something."

Or I'm not good enough at searching him...

On the map the carriage hasn't moved since round 2. That was where my assumption came from. So please move the cart forward if it is still moving, because by now it would be somewhere on top of the bridge.

P.S. I would also appreciate a reply to the PM I sent you, it has been several days now.

The cart stopped, I believe the moment Jimmy charged in. And the driver is dead :P

Hey guys CC told me, and I already noticed, that me being in another timezone really slows down the gameplay. He also said that some complained to him about it. I'm not able to post more frequent than I currently do although I would like to do so. So if it really bothers you please say so, then I will leave the campaign. I rather not quit ofcourse but I can't post whilst I'm sleeping.

"Well he went down easy!"
Moshley casts another magic missile aimed for the west most knight.

spell failure chance: 1d100 ⇒ 325 or below is failed
missile 1: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
missile 2: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Moshley aims for the weak and fires magic missile at Shanwen.
There will be two missiles. If the first one kills Shanwen the second will go to the knight attacking Ezren.
Missile damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Missile damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Gorvio charges on to save himself.

Moshley still in hiding is waiting for the carriage to block off the bridge. He readies himself to cast magic missile at the carriage rider.

Map update

Gorvio runs after the rest of the B-team.

Moshley waits a little bit longer till the Hellknights on horse are over the bridge before he attacks the squad.

Map update

Surprise Round

Moshley waits for the distraction. Gorvio raises his spear and moves from his hiding spot into plain sight, taunting the Hellknight.

Map

Can't cast anything up front. So I'll join in with the surprise round. I mean to stay well away from the fight and fire some stuff towards them! I won't be wearing my shield when we start combat either (spell failure chance)

I also made some plans as for leveling. I will take another level in casting for the feat mage armor, then I will take a level in fighter for a bonus feat point blank shot and then the next level I will be able to get the feat precise shot. This way I will have some more attack and damage on my crossbow and less spell failure chance with my armor.

Moshley looks up at the horses and says.
"Well that's gonna be a problem, they are almost twice my height! Mind if I ride behind someone?"
He looks up to Gorvio's uncle and asks.
"Do you know perhaps how a Hellknights squad is formed up. I'm really curious, I've never seen one of them before."

Ah I'm back again ^^ was a but busy yesterday with setting up a server!

I placed myself with the others.
Updated map
I'm ready to go!

It's gonna be a distraction by the b-team and then we move in right?

"I don't think it's really that easy to pull people away from their post. They are to guard the prisoner, and if they as much as suspect a trap they will not follow. We could give it a go, but if they do not budge we need to fall back on a full attack. And if it fails then we also lose our chance at a surprise attack."
Moshley seems to be thinking for a bit and then adds.
"Do we have any information on the carriage or the crew? How do they normally transport their prisoners?"

"I think we need an ambush, so much is clear already. If there is a dozen Hellknights with one leader we can assume there are ranged and melee fighters in the group. If we pick off ranged with ranged with a surprise attack, then our melee group could run in to take the brunt of the attack. After ranged has been dealt with we could kill the leader and then sweep up the rest of the melee knights. I do think we need to take them on though, they would hunt us down till the end of days if we leave them alone."

"I do not know anything beyond this, a young boy came to me with the letter that's all."
Moshley seems to be thinking on the whole problem for a bit.
"I think it might be a plan to for a group and ambush them whilst they are transporting him. Me and Jimmy could make a distraction and then you guys could fetch her, and then we all run or fight. Either way we have to get him out."

After finishing his story Moshley remembers the letter he got earlier today. He stands up and waves everyone quiet.
"I have to tell you guys something. I just got this letter at the workshop. Here let me read it to you."Dottari captured half-elf Ariel on suspicion of treason. Order of Rack demands prisoner for interrogation. Dottari sending prisoner to order today, for transfer to Citadel Rivad tomorrow. There are more traitors." I thought you guys would want to know this."
He looks around the group for any response.
"I think we need to plan a rescue for this."

I think I would go with Gorvio. I think another caster might be good and I like him xD I want to hear more about his grandfather!

Moshley return to the safehouse. He greets everyone inside and begins telling about the workshop.
"It's a magical place that. It's like the machines want to work, it's much faster to work there then anywhere where I have been before. Like the anvil wants the hammer, or the hammer wants the anvil, whatever. It's they they get pulled together! And the forge, never have I seen one this hot and it keeps on burning. There definitely is something magical there."

"Ofcourse I would like to join you. I will follow you there right now. He said with a grin, still thinking about her reaction.

To Gorvio
Moshley leans in a bit and whispers to Gorvio.
"मैं इन शक्तियों मिला है जहां मैंने पहले कहा, जैसा कि मैं नहीं जानता. और मैं ही अब तक क्या सीखा है के साथ मदद कर सकता है. से परे है कि मैं सिखाने के लिए क्या है पता नहीं है. आप सही तरीके से अपनी शक्तियों का उपयोग करते हैं और यह लोगों को डराने सकता है, हाँ, लेकिन नहीं वे यह स्वीकार हो सकता है. और इस भाषा में बात कर भी उन्हें भयावह हो सकती है."
He nods as to assure him what he just said was right.
