Neferteri Sandyfoot's page

Have fun those selected. I would love to get into a game if another DM wants to try to run one from this recruitment. I fear I might be guilty in hind sight of creating a good 5th PC for a 4 PC game. While I like this character, and he would be darn handy to have around, I am not sure he totally handles any specific roll completely.

So many good characters here. I would like to play with most of you. There is plenty enough applicants to run two or more tables... :)

After reviewing drawbacks the one that seems to best fit Neferteri is Naive. He was raised by a moderately wealthy merchant family and sheltered from much that is wrong with the world. He is too trusting and a little idealistic.

Thanks for the review. I'll look over the other drawbacks and see if one is better suited to the character. Do you have a recommendation?

I would love to get a chance to play this AP. Disclaimer up front is that I am running this for a home group. I believe I can keep player and character knowledge separate. It helps that I ran the first two books quite a while back; right after the AP was first published. We then took a break and did 4 books from RothRL and are now back to book 3 of MM.

Here is a character I actually started in a MM PBP game that folded not far into the first book. I think he is a good fit for most any party in this setting. Background, Party Roll and Appearance are in the alias. I'll be happy to provide some RP examples if you like. I try to both RP and encourage it in others with my posts.

You will find me a reliable poster and someone who takes good notes as we go along. I do not mind tracking loot or quests or what have you for the party.

Checking in again. Any idea on a restart?

Checking in. Do we have a planned re-start date?

Hey. Just popping in to say I am back from my trip and posting normally again. Lets get the game going again.

There is a door here. Kachu sees it too. It may be trapped through. Back up. We are going to check it. Neferteri takes 20 checking the trap door for traps.

I have been busier than I thought on vacation too. Little time to post while I have internet.

Neferteri sets to work searching methodically for traps.

I will be traveling for the next week. I hope to have internet in the mornings and evenings, but no promises. Please bot me if needed.

Nefeteri will take 20 at this unengraved door, looking for traps.

Before we move forward are there wounds that need to be dealt with?

Neferteri does not simply due to the encumbrance rules. Its quite important to his build that he remain lightly encumbered. So until such time that he can gain an enchanted haversack or such, he must rely on others to carry what he does not, or do without.

Someone lend me a dagger. Neferteri says as he moves forward to cut the glowing glands from the beetles.

Neferteri hopes for a shot, but bides his time and does not waste arrows.

Move Nefer back 5' so that he is not in the way if Holbrecht wants to 5' step.

Attending a funeral today. Should be back on tonight or in the morning.

Neferteri steps back and readies an arrow, sure that he has little chance of shooting through cover at a beetle already engaged in melee.

Neferteri nods. I don't think its dangerous to leave beetles in the tunnel, but I am fine exploring ahead.

Somewhat surprised Neferteri notes This passage has not been finished. He backs out of the way so that someone more skilled in perception can proceed him.

Here.

Sounds like a good problem to have. Hope you have a stellar season!

Let me check it out first. Lin. The truth is that Kachu is considerably better than me with traps. I've watched him and know that to be true. But I do not think he is better than me at spotting them. So if there is no trap I do not need him.

Neferteri takes 20 looking for traps on this secret door, and then again to open it.

Perception 24, Open Locks 26. If 26 fails he can get up to a 30 by using a round of luck and taking his armor off. :)

Camping with scouts this weekend. I can post some tomorrow day and will be back Sunday night.

With his choice supported Neferteri continues down the passage, checking as he goes.

My home computer crashed last night. Will be trying to get it up again tonight. So posting from work or phone for a day or so.

I am concerned about what might be inside this sarcophagus. Neferteri voices. Its quite well protected. Perhaps it is the sarcophagus we seek. But for now, I say we keep exploring, as we have this passage and the northern door to explore. The sarcophagus can wait. He moves to the secret passage they have not explored and begins to check the first 5' of that passage.

Hmm. Neferteri says eyeing the open secret door to the west. Yes. Best not leave traps behind. Kachu, I shall assist you.

Assist Disable Traps: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Just barely. :)

We have both this dais and statues, and the secret passage that is open. I do not not understand your question Alexander.

No trick or treaters for me. Cold and rainy at my house.

Neferteri, seeing what Noblrecht is up to, lends a hand, slowly searching the room. Its nice not be be rushed.

With this room trapped and secret doors leading out of it, I wonder if this is that real resting place of who we seek? What shall we do next?

With Lin and Kachu working on getting the door open Neferteri continues to work his way around the wall, checking each square around to the far door and then checking the door itself.

Bingo! Trap of some sort here. A big one. And it seems to be guarding a secret door. Kachu, you are better than me at disarming these things. If you care to give me a hand It would be my pleasure to assist you.

Noticing the dwarf's progress Neferteri winces. You are breaking protocol Holbrecht. Wait for Kachu to check the floor and walls. And for gods sake, do not touch those statues or the raised platform yet.

Taking 20 for a 24 as usual. Perception is just not good enough for a take 10. Sorry. Checking H9, H8, H7, around to the left. Both floor and wall. I hope Kachu is doing the same on the other side.

This is the room that will be trapped then. Neferteri warns. Let the trap finders do their job before anyone touches anything. And with that the halfling will check the floor in front of him before stepping into the room and beginning to check the floor and wall on the left side.

Just put a spare weapon between the two doors so they do not lock us in. Lets open this next set of doors.

I do not like the idea of being on the wrong side of those sealing doors if they should close. Can we prop them open someway? At least lets put something to block them closing altogether. Neferteri recommends as he moves forward to check the left side of the passage and the left door for traps, taking 20 once more.

To keep his encumbrance down Neferteri will store any of the orbs not claimed by his party in the small pack carried by Holbrecht. Better let me and Kachu check the stairs and door before proceeding. he says as he sets to work checking the western (left) side of the stairs down, along with the door in front of the group. He motions for Kachu to check the right side.

Take 20 for a 24 on both 5 foot squares.

You don't carry it. You lash it to some of your gear. You note his is lashed to the top of his pack on his right side. Can you read with Darkvision? Tell color? Lots of reasons to have a real light.

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

These things should shed light for a few days up to almost a week I figure. I heard that miners like them because there require no flame and cannot ignite any flammable gasses. Might be worth something, but lets use them for now. Keeping one he hands out the other three while also restocking his arrow supply back up to 10.

this does look like a dead end. Lets check out that other door. Having already checked it and unlocked it Neferteri takes a place in the second rank ready to explore.

Neferteri examines the beetle corpses. I think we could cut out these lights and use them. He will begin to do so.

His luck no longer lingering, but seeing a more clear shot Neferteri steps to D8 and fires on the beetle.
Short Bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d4 ⇒ 3

Nefereteri shifts one square to the north (7C) and asks Nulyth to step back 5' after striking.

These things are much harder to hit that a fire beetle. I expected that last arrow to hit, even with the cover.

Neferteri should be in 7D. See 5' step in surprise round.

Letting his luck linger Neferteri tries another shot, but this time at the beetle not in melee.

Shot Bow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Fall back Holbrecht. Neferteri encourages as he prepares a shot.

These beetles are destructive. Neferteri comments. I wonder what this room was to be. He steps into the room and begins to look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
