Sorry for not having posted in a while, but RL things have kept me very busy. Sadly, there's no hope on the horizon, so I think I have to step out for a long while. Good luck to everyone and I'll be keeping an eye on your adventures delving into Rappan Athuk! As for the uncertainty of my ability to keep up with the campaign's pace, maybe (if the GM allows it) I can come back once I have enough time to be a regular poster. And quoting Argrim:
Cheers!
Nibb will hold on in the rear, since he is too far from the action to be of any help. And let's face it, he is no warrrior. He would evade unnecesary danger if possible. At least, he can keep watching from ambushes in the rear, but nothing more... for now. EDIT: I was hoping there was another dwarf to add to the crew. The ones who are here actually are very fun. :)
Nibb use a charge of the CLW wand on Rammellorn, hoping to heal the arrow wound. "For now, Brother Karnog is right. Is better if we do a slight tactical retreat..."
Nibb moves and then cast Message, linking Rammellorn and Karnog: "What happen? Can't you just push those barrels to fall over those nasty critters?"
Recently, the office's PC were changed and presented serious problems. Likewise, my own PC was in maintenance so I couldn't see the maps for some weird reason. Now I can see the maps from my home, but still get blocked by office's restrictions (a.k.a. Fortiguard).
"Is there any sign of a wooden bridge or likewise structure?"
"If... if you don't mind, I prefer to remain here with Mister Varl. I see no need for me to be in the vanguard right now. Don't you agree with me, Mister Varl?
Standing behind Argrim, Nibb uses the magic wand, and channel the healing magic toward the battered dwarf. "There you go!"
And then, he would look up for any enemies ahead.
"Mister Argrim, hand over the wand to me! Maybe I can help you with it."
Hey, sorry I haven't been posting for a while. I'm still on, but cool real life stuff means not a lot of time for PbP right now. I'm not dropping out by any means, just wanted to reassure everyone that I'm still here.
Nibb the crevice is pretty tight to get through but opens to a 10 to 15 foot width and extends at least 60 feet, although you don not see the floor. The walls are rough and you see several pitons on both walls. You, also, see that there are several piton anchored into the floor in the mimic's cavern. These look like earlier expeditions into the crevice to your eye.
"Wait. Maybe that crevice could lead us further into the caves... a shortcut, perhaps?" Then Nibb lean over the crevice, eager to take a look.
Nibb put the Everfull Mug again into the haversack . Takes a few steps, trying to leave the mimic long arm's reach "I beg your pardon, Mr. Rammellorn." and then he draws his crossbow again , aiming at the mimic.
Nibb focuses again and unleash another powerful magical screech at the mimic.
Nibb make a brief sniffs briefly the Everfull Mug content, and then shook his head. This is not strong enough. And until the other dwarves come, I think it's up to us helping out mister Argrim... He makes a quick move to have a better angle of the overall situation, and then, focusing the power of his voice through his magic, Nibb release a powerful screech... but the only one able to hear it is the mimic, like it is said occurs on the interior of the dreaded Dark Towers of Tar-Baphon.
Good luck to you, Varl.
Nibb proceeds to put away his crossbow , while mumbling to himself. Then he yells at Kalim. "Human, your lightning magic won't do much against that mimic! It seems he has some magical protection against electricity!" Later, he gasps at the sight of the grappled dwarf. Dwarven:
"Mister Argrim, be careful! The mimic can release you from the glue at any time and you would fall in. I-I-I'm going to help you!" Then, he draws his Everfull Mug from the haversack and keeps mumbling. To baldwin: Nibb's daring thoughts: A couple questions:
Felling a bit under the weather, I'll post tomorrow. I hope you get better soon.
Vatilda: You don't have to make a ranged touch attack for your Ray of Enfeeblement to work? I'm just asking, not too savvy in the Pathfinder rules anyway.
I assume that 24 in the Knowledge check allow me to say that without metagaming... What else could Nibb know about it?
Surprised for the animated chest, Nibb almost hops in place.
"Stand back! That thing is a mimic, a shape-shifting aberration. If you touch it, you would be glued to it by that ichor that emanates from the cover... as Mister Argrim." Then, Nibb is going to shoot the thing, wary of not hitting the dwarf who is caught in the struggle. He hopes that his good luck show up...
My bad, since English is not my native language I thought the menacles perceived in walls and floor with Sift correspond with prisoners in chains...Your English is great. What is your native language? Spanish, I mean... "Español, amigo" hahaha.
"Mister Argrim is right. But we should check that chest anyway, since it can provide us clues about the captives or equipment we could use afterwards. If I remember correctly, down the southern tunnel should be something like a wooden bridge. Past that, is where the children and other prisoners are supposedly held." Then, Nibb is going to check the source and nature of the howling .
Nibb cast with Kalim, in order to sneak up. "Listen, human. It seems we have found the kidnapped children. My magical sensors can't detect creatures, but it seems some captives are held here. I suggest you to proceed with caution." Then, he will walk slowly trying to observe the surroundings, using Kalim's torch-light.
"Around here! It seems Kalim has found something." Then Nibb cast , looking for traps ahead of them.
"A darkmantle? Hold on, I'm going to help you!" Then, Nibb rushes towards Kalim and take a look at the creature. A darkmantle... that's why I told you to not split from the group. Reckless, silly human!
I don't know, since I can't see the maps (posting from work). I'm assuming that I cannot see Kalim based in the darkmantle's behavior, not willing to show itself unless its prey is unaware... and alone.
Previous week has been pretty hectic at work, and this week has gone between (personal) urgent business and my birthday (yay!), so now I'm reporting to duty! @baldwin: Thanks for DMPCing Nibb so far, it was just like he would do.
Nibb, no longer able to see Kalim (?) start to call him out. "Hey, human! Are you okay? Where are you?" Then he will advance carefully fearing what could have happened to Kalim...
"You, human! Come back here, there may be more goblins lurking around!" Then he will advance carefully, with his crossbow ready.
Nibb Karnog has repositioned himself in near the intersection. I'll permit you to squeeze between the wall and vatalida on Karnog's back side. That will give you a good look at all three directions for your coverage. Neat! Then, he would move and take a look
once he had a good angle.
Since I can't see the map, Nibb is going to reach Karnog in order to provide some back-up.
Nibb moves until he reach Karnog's back, and then reload his crossbow, ready to shoot any incoming enemy.
Once the goblins have been defeated, Nibb then rushes towards the rest of the group. Once he stood in front of Kalim, he will expand his senses towards what is ahead of Karnog. "Hurry up Mister Varl. They might be needing our help!."
I'm sorry, hard messed-up work and RL issues are keeping me away from posting for a while. I'll be posting tommorrow without delay! :)
"Mister Argrim. According with our goblin prisoner, the prisoners are kept past that 'sleeping cave', in a chamber located after a wood bridge." Then, he will reload his crossbow and shoot again the goblin after tipping his lucky hat , hoping he could aim better. Maybe a little up... come on Nibb, it mustn't be that hard, their heads are like watermelons!
"Mister Varl has a point. Please, go and help the others. I will remain here with him... those two won't be a big deal." Nibb then moves through the tunnel, while putting a bolt in his crossbow and shooting the goblin that is not in melee with Varl, not risking to hurt him.
Nibb whisper to the group's vanguard : "According with the goblin's claims, this should be one of ten goblin post that remains in these caves. We must be careful, as it seems that their leader possess some kind of magic powers..." And then he will move forward, careful to not trigger any traps, and draws his crossbow.
Nibb cast Sift ahead of the group, looking for traps and other hazards...
"What still intrigues me is that 'post leader' the goblin spoke about. He didn't mean to, but it seems that it possess some kind of magical abilities... a sorcerer, perhaps?"
Goblin: "So, they are still alive. Good. I can use that to keep your head tied to your neck. Now, how do we get past the other posts? Where the prisoners are kept?"
Goblin:
"Ugh... Do you attacked some humans recently? Where do you hold your prisoners? We are looking for kids... small, living humans."
Please don't be shy my fellow companions, get together and follow your gnome friend towards OUR DOOM!!!
Goblin:
"Very well... First, tell me: was your tribe the ones who attacked the farm near here? How many of you still linger in this cave?"
I'm sorry for putting you in these RP bottleneck, but RL issues had kept me away from posting last days, only able to post mostly one-liners and such... Anyway, I'm trying to advance and get over this interrogation quickly.
After asking for assistance from any of the dwarves, Nibb starts his interrogation: Goblin: "Well... listen to me, answer all my questions now, and I can help you to not get chopped by these dwarves... Are you going to tell me what I want to know?" |
