I just wanted to post that my character is all ready to go here! Lady Calista, please add me to your list, thanks!
Color me still interested in this one!
This is Eric Swanson again, resubmitting my gnome sorcerer.
Eric Swanson here...this is my gnome sorcerer. I just need to level him up. BTW if we get more people that want to participate than slots available, i will yield my spot to someone else, he he.
Nish looks over the body for a moment, then approaches Zirul, and asks to see the charm for a moment. He murmers a quick incantation, and says softly, "As I suspected, it is magical.". He concentrates another few seconds and says, "It has some healing properties attached to it. Might be pretty valuable around here.". He then gives the charm back to Zirul. "So, shall we press on?"
Nish, who had been dozing in his saddle, wakes suddenly, and says to Ibram, "Yeah we're on the road still, aren't we?" Then you see him glance nervously around him, "I don't know about this fog, though."
Nish replies good naturedly to the dwarf, "Hey don't mind that Alfrik guy, he definitely has a pick shoved up his a**, he is really concerned about that paladin lady. We should get some rest, we have a weeks journey to get to the village"
The gmone turns to the burly dwarf, and smiles. "Nope, I volunteered for this mission. To be honest with you, I think Lord Alfrick was just looking for any excuse to get rid of me."
Nish replies to Keon "Oh this, no this was gifted to me by another Pathfinder when he retired a number of years ago"
Nish awakes with the dawn as is his custom, enjoyng the suns rays before seeing them disappearing into the clouds. Seeing his other companions busy with other tasks and ignoring him as usual, decides to get to know Highsaddle a little bit better. Unfortunately, this pony seems not to enjoy the company as much as he would like. Plus no animals to talk to, this is really turning into a boring trip. He takes out the Wayfinder, gifted to him by a Pathfinder member for saving the other man's life. He doesn't really use it much, plus he noticed it tended to lose its accuracy this far north. Still it reminds him of happier times, when he traveled with the Pathfinder for a while...
Well wake me whenever you guys need a watch buddy then Nish replies to Kratos.
Nish replies "So you are here for just the sake of vengeance? Such an empty life that is. Still that does keep one occupied, during periods of boredom.. Appearing to lose interest, he stretches out on the floor trying to catch a quick night sleep before the morning arrives.
Nish, about to take another swig of ale, stops and puts it down, muttering "Spoilsports." He then looks at Keon and asks "So Keon, what brings you a fine Chelaxian gentleman like yourself out here to join our merry band of adventureres?"
Nish settled back after the fine meal, and soon the ale starts to spread its customary warmth through his bones. Ahhhh, this is nice. Good mutton and ale makes a great combo he discovered. Now if he only had some companionship...Well maybe staying here wasn't such a bad idea after all Great idea, Kratos. this'll make the night pass quickly, winking at the standoffish man. Kratos hadn't said much to him during the searching, but he knew what effects drink had on some men. Relaxing back in his spot on the floor in the corner, he awaits for someone to mention a watch order...
Perception:
Nish turns to Kratos and says: "Do ya need some help searching for supplies? I figure two sets of eyes are better than one, and..." (glancing nervously around him)..."I don't think it's a good idea to go anywhere by yerself."
Nish hears the talking of his fellow members and says nothing, the only sign of his disapproval is the furrowing of his brow. He really did not want to stay here any longer than necessary. All this talk of defense and lets stick around the scene of the carnage comes as no suprise as they were trained to think that way. Those thoughts can turn into a prison, and the thinker into a golem, programmed to always to the same thing over and over again, he discovered long ago. Still the value of teamwork is not lost on him. He turns to the rest of the group and says, with just a hint of aspersion: "Well, let's get this over with."
Nish takes the proffered piece of human skin attached to the clothing and examines it further.
After doing so, he hands it to the next member, and then turns to Siva, "Yeah, I think you're right. Wonder if that village where Ashleyn holds the answers." Looking around, he says to the group "Night is falling, we should press on, I don't think I like spending the night here."
Nish steps away from the corpse and looks back at Ibram and the rest of his troops, a look of confusion mixed with unease. Walking back to his pony, who he noted hasn't calmed down at all, says: "I don't know what killed them, but I'm sure it wasn't pleasant. Something has been eating at these corpses." Recalling during the briefing about stories of undead, he adds "This could be the work of undead."
Nish gets off his pony, noting the animals skittishness, and grimaces at the rain falling from the sky. Normally, rain doesn't bother him, what with his celestial blood, but this chill rain, coupled with the biting wind, has been anything but pleasant to deal with. Maybe his mounts (he called the diminutive horse HighSaddle as a sort of joke) nerves were transferring to his own nerves. certainly he felt uneasy. Seeing the corpses strewn out in the open did nothing to calm his nerves. Soon he felt something would snap... He waves his fellow companions back for a moment, saying: "Let me check this out" then approaches the first rotting corpse, figuring to examine for clues as to how he or she met its grisly end...and also how long ago this happened.
Heal
Arrgh! Only have 73 gp left, can anyone loan me 2 gp?lol...I can do that. Done, I owe ya 2 gp! don't take it outta my hide lol

Yeah, could've planned it better but I'm not worried about it, maybe the DM will be generous to us, he he.
Nish sees everyone walk off, leaving him alone. He is used to being overlooked by the Big Folk. Still something troubles him about the cavalier way the other members of his group are treating this. He recalls the talks about the values of teamwork, and while he never bough into all the regimentation Alfrik preaches, the sense of cooperation which he firmly believes in, seemed to be missing as well. Well, things will work out in the end anyway, so he leaves to gather his possessions for the upcoming journey.
After the briefing, Nish waves goodbye to his boss. Thinking to himself, I wonder if this is what I have been waiting for? Waiting for an answer from something, anything that will give him clues as to what lies ahead. he hears nothing forthcoming. He then turns to the rest of his traveling companions. "Well this should be fun."
Wandering up here in the massive wildrness areas while not on duty have given him time to reflect and meditate on what his destiny is. After reading the message from the Nishalerau Al'Blen gazes up at the heavens and wonders if his destiny is here. The dreams have slowed in frequency, but this does not comfort him as much as he thought. Maybe this is to relax him in some way and get him ready for the journey ahead. Realizing such self-examination is not fruitful now, he heads back to base to see what awaits him.
I agree about the potions. I bought a few myself. It is cheaper to buy a wand though. A potion is 50 gp per spell vs. a wand that is 15 gp per spell. You are correct about the energy channel. I've never played Ravenloft, but it sounds like it could be a bit heavier in undead than other campaigns. Having more healing options would give Kalgrin greater flexibility with his channels. He could use it for healing as well as damaging undead creatures. I think Ibram's Inspiration power is going to be very helpful when it comes to healing too :) ha ha great minds think alike!
I have always believed that having potions is a good backup to the cleric, and also don't the clerics now channel positive nergy to heal party members around them now?
Hmmm, chances are I am not the captain of this group, lol! I think I would be a corporal (?), probably no higher than that.
