while the kreegs are not the brightest....barl and mokmurrian are a bit smarter and with the impending march on sandpoint they do not want to aert magnamar and have to dea with that army....so they figure breaking the damn will do the same job and not alert anyone that soemthing far worse is coming. they are rellying on the kreegs to dea with any groups sent to investigate, i'm running it as, do not et anyone get away, we cant risk alerting magnamar.....
the kreegs go along witht he damn breakign becasue if they suceed they get to kill the trolls, who are rivals of theirs....
Name: Akbar the halfling trap crafter
Class: Elemental sorceror level 6(i think)
Adventure: Skinsaw Murders
Catalyst: headbutting a bell 100' in the air.
we all know this trap. halfway up they start dropping bells. He had time to shout his cathc phrase "it's a trap!" before taking a be to the head(unconcious) and then falling 100' to splatter all over the towers floor. The fighter also got hit and fell but a good con and larger hit dice left him at an amazing 1 hp.
Unfortunatley I was one scorching ray away from TPK by zanessa at the top when the Ranger decided to crit with his rapid shots.
The banter back and forth elicits loud laughter form the dwarf. Slapping Gathien on the back, enough to jostle the halfling "I knew I liked ye style lad. If i get chosen for this here mission, I hope it's you guarding my back."
"perhaps they were eager to see me and greenskin go a few rounds."
Scratching his beard, Mundin looks about the room.
"If I were them, I'd fancy a look at our talents, other than yapping and drinking, which we all seem rather good at. When the Clan Chiefs gather for War Council, special missions are not uncommon. Clans send a handful of their finnest to win honor for themselves and their clan. Kegs were tapped, ballads sung, and the hopefuls often sparred and put their skills on display for the council."
Standing slowly, aware of all the eyes upon him, Mundin addresses Nikor. "Mundin IronHand, of Clan IronHand, victors over the orc hoards on countless occasions. Ain't never dealt with no Snakeskin before, though i've heard stories mind you. Ya may be ignorant of your kin's trangresses and for that and the kind words of those hear you are spaired me wrath. Be thankful ya never met me an ma kin before this day."
Ingnoring the offered hand, Mundin sits back down.
As Mundin "sits" back down, he mumbles quietly "peaceloving....softbellied.......tainted..."
Shaking his head, he addresses his two companions. "Indebted to you lads, your both right of course....still doesn't mean I have to trust him"
have decided to go straight fighter, no archetype. still plan on two weapon fighting, but off hand will be the hand axe most likely. You read my mind perfectly, that was my intent, to gove someone or multiple people a chance to act.
apologies in advance if Mundin ends up harsh to start with on the half orc. dwarves, love em or hate em, they rarely change. fell welcome nikor to knock mundin down a peg if he needs it.
to Rorgrym "A shame not knowing ones clan, though I'm sure your father had his reasons. "
Hearing the half-orc before he sees him "Haha, the swordlords obviously have heard of me talents and that of our small friends here."
Turning in his chair, Mundin finally realizes who has spoken. His hand quickly drops to the hand axe at his belt and he's half way out of his chair......
Gathien: Your fairly certain he was admiring your axe. "Aye, well spoken lad, perhaps another time, when the exercise would do us both well, a small competition, including Lightbringer and any others we deem worthy" Leaning closer to the two he whispers "And more woman to admire our sweaty bodies"
"So, brother Rorgrym where does yer clan call home?"
Oblivious to Ingle's mumbling, at his greeting "Clan IronHand at your service master Farwen.....should you ever reconsider, I'd be happy to share the warriors dance with ye, bloodless of course. "
Forgot to add in ideas on leadership roles and NPC's from background. I would say General would be fitting for him, perhaps warden. His Clan lives in the Golushkin Mountains, and deals with House Garess. A member of his clan or house garess would tie in well. An exiled clan member seeking vengence on the son of the clan cheiftan would be interesting, and anything that could be a dwarven racial enbemy (orc, goblin, giant, dragon, even troll) could add some fun.
Sizing up Kragath "Wouldn't mind going a round or two with ya either"
loose use of it really.. was hoping to get a post in before anyone else started their responses to my arrival. and due to a glitch it said u posted 1 second ago when i first psoted, as i see it now says 15 min before i posted.
Striding over, Mundin graps the halfling forearm in a sturdy greeting. "Mundin IronHand's me name, of the Clan IronHand."
Looking at the axe carried by the halfing, "Ye fancy yerself a warrior lad? Perhaps a friendly sparring when this party is over."
Taking the offered seat, Mundin pulls out his dented tankard and some dwarven Ale, the last he has, and filling his mug, raises it in salute
"Never make deals, friends, or enemies sober!"
Draining his mug, and releasing decent but not impressive belch, Mundin waves for more wine.
DM patcher:
1. Why are you interested in working with the Swordlords of Brevoy?
They are well known, and in positions of power. Good allies to have, and he hopes they can pay well for his services. At least one of the local noble families has good relations with dwarves in the area.
2. What is your motivation to reclaim the Stolen Lands? Adventure, fame, fortune, and the chance to bash some heads. Fey and bandits are to types Mundin has no love for and would enjoy lessening their number.
3. What will your character contribute to the group? Strong melee with reach, sturdy frontline fighter, short range thrown weapons, good humor on the trail to keep spirits up.
4. What are your plans for your character mechanically? two weapon fighter all the way. Eventually dual weilding dorn dergers once he progresses far enough down the two weapon fighter archetype to weild a non light weapon in his offhand with less penalty. Taking feats from the dwarves of Golarion to make the doirn derger a one handed weapon.
5. What are your plans for your character from a story-perspective? He's out for adventure, to become clan heroe, and to have fun. He enjoys fights, strong ale, and good friends. perhaps some of those gathered posses the fortitude to journey with him into the unknown
Ninja'd by the Paladin?!?!?! Isn't that unethical?
Suddenly the doors slam open, and an armored dwarf walks in. Removing his helm and cloak, and handing them to the nearest servant "there's a good lad, keep those for me" He quickly grabs a glass of wine, chugs it down easily, tosses the glass to the same servant who barely manages to catch it, then turns to the gathered guests "Well? Have I arrived in time for the party lads? "
still need to add traits, but stat sheet is mostly set. dwarven fighter, two weapon archetype, for now single weilding a dorn derger.
He's out for adventure, killing goblins if possible, puts bandits in the same general category as goblins (scum that should be have their heads bashed in). Thinks fey are meddling demons, and is looking to make a name for himself. Though not a barbarian, he can at times be a bit of a beserker, rushing in ahead.
This sucks- I must withdraw for many reasons. you have been an excellent group and DM. No kmore internet at work and limited free time at home makes this no longer possible. good lcuk with the kraken spawn!!!
Watching the others jump in, mundin calls after shisa "Why don't ya just hook the blasted snake!" shaking his head, he looks over to Ishirou. "If ya be thinking of leapign in with the rest, I'll hang onto the roe."
"let's save our celebration till we see if the others resurface. Might have to toss you both back in to get them out!" Mundin moves to the bank, axe in hand, ready to throw it at the snake if it surfaces, otherwise, looking for signs of their companions. As he water gazes he calls to Shisa "That's twice i've saved your pointy eared head, lets not make this a regular thing "
Mundin will tie his end of the rope to himself if possible, otherwise, he will brace himself and hold on. As everyone rushes for the water he says with a laugh "i think i'll stay on alnd this time if noone mnds!"
i want to invent a new game. Ingenious ways to piss off unstable NPC's. Must stay in character. 10 points if you incite physical altercation, 5 points for verbal, and only 1 point if someone is able to keep the altercation from happening. Who's in? lol.
pointing to Tony "The lad seemed a fine swimmer back at the beach, and it should be much easier without the paladin to rescue this time!" Mundin tries to hold in the laughter but he fails and is soon on his back roaring. Picking himself back up he whispers to shisa
Spoiler:
"A city rogue with a conscience, and an elf being rescued by a dwarf. If either your pride or reputation take another hit lass, you might want to consider staying on the island."
Chuckling at the shared joke, Mundin's spirits seem to be impervious to depression.
No worries. I missed the time req on raft building, way too long. besides these npc's are crazy. ya know I have IRL been trained in survival and just carried over that positive mental attitude.
"Excellent, The elf is great at finding dangerous things ready to kill her, She'll make the perfect scout. All we have to do is wait for her scream and go the other way! Mundin bursts out laughing at his own joke as he breaks down their last shelter and folds the shovels into the canvas.
As Mundin gets into his armor, he says to Marik "Lad, yesterday you mentioned something about fresh water streams and field with a clear view. What say we go check this place out."
"Alright, but i warned ye" Mundin aids Tony in attempting to prepare the meal. "Might as well try and build a fire, perhaps gut this thing, anyone got a good knife?"
Two elves settling a dispute unarmed is one thing, but seeing Ishirou bring blades into the game, Mundin's carefree demeanor changes. Without his customary yell, Mundin jumps forward and tries to grapple the Tian man.
not the smartest think but at the moment seemed right. Can i charge him to grapple for a +2 or is it just a move and grapple? combat manuever check 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Unaware of how awful his singing really is, Mundin works on steadily. he stops singing when the brawl starts, and begins coaching shisa on proper brawling technique. "Let her make the first move! keep those fists up! be reayd to close in quick when she strikes! "
hearing marik finally return to reality [b]"Excellent work lad, maybe we should nominate you as the new Navigator!"[/]
"fire warms the bones, and hot food is good for the osul. I sugegst soemoen else cook, otherwise you'll all be complaining come morning. I'll work on a make shift shelter to keep us dry for the night and take midnight watch, my eyesight is better in the dark anyway. "
Mundin will us ehis axe to get soem good logs and hammer them into the ground at a forward angle. he will tie the canavs over it from top to ground and use a shovel to pile earth at the base. the opening will be towards the fire. He sings a dwarven work song, meant to keep the mind busy and the body working at a good pace.
As the ship shutters and at Tony's warning Mundin, races for the rope. Once getting there he waits for the others and pushes them ahead, saying Get a move on, else we'll swimming for it."
