Natsume Shin's page

"Well I'm not sure if we actually need to clear out that room. My vote is to move on."

Shin withdraws back to the previous room.

"Excellent work. You have an impressive talent." To Kaede.

Shin then steps into the doorway cautiously.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Quick scan of the room for any other threats

Sheathing the weapon and moving is all i got this round.

Shin will put his crossbow away and move closer to assist Willow. Hesitant to engage this in melee.

Shin draws hit crossbow and shoots it at the skeleton he can see. Doesn't think punching it will be a good idea.

Ranged attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Shin looks at his fists. Cold?

Waiting for skele's to go

"Be on guard, hopefully what ever burned these is gone, or used up." Motioning to the troglodytes. He walks through the room.

"The way up is clear it seems. We can also come back. I'm in no rush."

Shin tries the door and it's locked. Turns and looks expectantly at Kaede. Steps aside. "If you don't mind attempting to open this door."

Once the group has gathered and ready to move to the last room, Shin opens it.

Quietly, Shin says"Lets hug the wall and move to the next door."

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10Trying to notice any other surprises.

After glancing around, tries to keep away from the lizard and skirts the room to the door. Will wait for everyone to catch up.

"Everyone ready?"Rhetorical, he goes in anyways

Shin proceeds into the room, guard up.

"This door does not budge. Lets try going through the other door. Shin heads back the way we came.

Strength to push it open: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Leans into it to push it open.

Shin moves to the northeast door, motioning that he hears something.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20Looking to see if it is trapped

If there are no traps and once the group gathers behind him, he opens the door.

Once the trap is disarmed, Shin checks to see if everyone is ready, then steps into the door.

Continued Grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Unarmed Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Shin tightens his grip and puts more pressure into his joint lock.

Shin runs up and tries to grapple it to prevent it from leaving. He attempts to grab the creature and put it in a joint lock.

CMB: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

If hit
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

I figured I was with the group. Yes I will enter with them.

Shin see's the pair and opens with a running kick. On my turn of course.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

That's rough, well here goes

The door won't budge. Shin leans into the door trying to force it open.

Strength: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

nice roll!

I need some help!

Shin approaches the door and tests it to see if it's locked. If not he opens it.

I have a standard +6, but no trapfinding. I'm all for this idea.

It's fine, that's what we are doing anyways. It wasn't very serious action anyways.

Shin follows Kaede's lead.

Ooh right, let me hold the torch, it doesn't affect my fighting much. At all really. Can just punch with the other arm.

"Well done everyone." Shin surveys the group for injuries, which there are none. "Hopefully large spiders are all we have to worry about. But perhaps a more stealthy approach is safer, so we don't walk into ambushes. Kaede, if you lead I will follow a distance behind you and wait for any signals."

Shin will move up to it and kick the spider.

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

I'll wait for the others to post first, hopefully the first 3 can finish it off

Thanks. I haven't moved yet, but the map is easy to use.

How does one access this map. Never used one online before.

I still have my crossbow. Shin draws his crossbow, takes aim and fires a bolt at the spider.

ranged attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Shin goes into a defensive stance waiting to see if the creature will approach.

Shin moves cautiously down the passage, careful of his footing. Keeping his eyes peeled for anything.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

how dark is it?

That'd be great. I was gonna cut it as a loss lol

Shin wraps the rope back into a tight coil, staring dishearteningly at his pack on the ground below. I just realized I put my pack down and no one brought it up With that he moves to the passage in the northwest wall.

"This appears the only way to go. I can take point, but if I miss anything, don't hesitate to tell me."

Think we still need Alexis to climb.

"Thanks." With Willow's help, Shin tries to climb the rubble once again.

climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

If he makes it, Shin wraps the rope around a sturdy object and drops the remaining rope back to the group while bracing and holding on to his end.

Should have declared the collapsed ruins with the DC 15. I fail regardless

I'll give it a shot.

"I have rope. I can climb that and lower the rope for others to climb more easily." Puts his pack down and pulls out his silk rope. Walks up to the wall an takes a good measure of handholds, then begins the climb.

Climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 Guess not

"Ah, it is more difficult than expected."

Walks with Kaede to purchase the trail rations. "I can buy the meat, to make up for the inconvenience. I don't want to harm animals that were just in the wrong place."

3 chunks of meat, one for each dog. 9sp.

With the meat in a bag, Shin carries the food back.

Looks at Kaede while walking, "Master always said I needed to work on my foresight." Smiles weakly and turns back, staring distantly for a good while.

haha, I'm more of a cat person I suppose.

"My apologies." Looks away awkwardly.

"Perhaps we can just scare them off. Some angry shouting maybe"

"Saleem. " Beckons to the door with on hand. "I will summarize what was said in your absence. We will get 150 gold for returning with anything historic or valuable. There may be some evil that has taken up residence within however."

Holds the door so everyone else inside can leave.

A Tian man of average height and a mop of dark hair. He is muscular, yet has a lean frame. Shin wears very modest and loose-fitting clothing.

He puts down his own tea cup. The flavor, while not bad, is not what he prefers. "I am also from Minkai. " There is a slight accent as he speaks common. "My name is Natsume Shin, but please just call me Shin."

He stands and slings his pack over his shoulder.

After letting the rest of the group ask a few questions, Alexis adds one. "What types of things most interest our sponsor? The more we know about what he finds interesting, the easier it is for us to see that the trip will be.... fruitful."

"I'm thinking along the same lines. Knowing what the sponsor is looking for will help us. I can grab anything I think might be worthwhile, but I'm no archaeologist. I'm sure he has a specific eye on certain things."

Nods to Alexis, showing support for her idea.

Shin makes his way down the bustling streets of Absalom in no apparent hurry. Like many others, he heard about the opening of the "Fallen Fortress". He thought nothing of it at first, but when a wealthy man began looking for people to look into this ruin for artifacts, Shin saw the opportunity for some money. He had been traveling and was running low on funds to continue his journey.

He makes his way to the meeting place. I wonder who else will be there. He muses to himself as he walks down the street.

Hey everyone, let's have a good game.

I'll join in. Just gotta finish my background, but I'm ready otherwise.
