Nius Darkwood's page

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 3 = 4

"Im with taking Eekie with us."

Nius will take a position near the rear behind Eekie.

Nius listen carefully to the recount of the story from Jezebel and after Telurion and Zondras express their agreement to the plan Nius says:
"An ambush uhm, even tho id hate the wait, given the circumstances sounds like the best course of action."

Then looks around to see where would be a good hiding place.

Sorry for the delay, been away.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Nius shakes his head and says:

"I guess it can't be helped, and having Eekie with us would be more useful than otherwise..."

with a sigh he continues looking to each of the companions in turn:
"Lets get ready and meet back, say, in a few hours?"

Nius stays quite all this time, listening carefully and absorbing all the information he can. When Eeekie mention she wants into the action, he gives a worried looks to the companions and says:

"What do you think? can we trust the little goblin to actually help us instead of running back to them just to sell us out?"

Looking at Eekie directly to her eyes, he mutter some words while making symbols with his hands (casting Guidance, trying to look mysterious and serious) Nius proceeds to say in common while never taking his eyes from Eekie's eyes:
"Are you trying to take this opportunity to pretend to help us, just to betray us to the goblin guild so you can gain a good standing little one?"

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13

The sense motive is to try to determine the truthfulness of her reply, while the guidance is both to get a bonus on the roll and look somewhat menacing, trying to extract a truthful answer, should I roll also Intimidate?

Nius stands close to the others, trying to let no free way in case the goblin escapes Yoren grasp. While waiting for the goblin answer to his companions questions.

Nius seen Yoren trying to grapple the goblin, lunges to help

Grapple: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14

Dunno how this works, but hope it does works ))

Seen everybody rush after a goblin, Nius follows behind Yoren.

Nius ponders Jezebel offer for help and decides to take upon the offer. Walking up to Jezebel, Nius says: "Jezebel, I need to scout around the Consortium headquarters and make a map of the outside entrances for the Society, would u help me out with the scouting and the map making"

Nius gets on his way to the Bronze house, stopping to buy parchment and coal and then walks around the Bronze House paying attention to as many details as possible.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Taking on the offer to ride a wagon to the market area, Nius arrives to the bustling market. He will take his time walking around, exploring the city, looking for any store that might catch his attention.

In other words, just passing the time, I cant think of anything to buy with the current gold.

Nius bows to Venture-Captain Heidmarch without saying much, and then follows Ebrylis to Bakrakhan House.

On the way to Bakrakhan House he mention to his companions:
"Seems like faith have it so we working together again, even sooner than i thought we would. I have never been on this area before. Wonder if we will get to see any creature we haven't seen before."

Nius will walk contemplating the view the rest of the way.

This is where my finances stand right now, character sheet updated:

+502gp || 539gp || Gold from Frostfur Captives Scenario
+4gp || 543gp || Sold Cold-Weather outfit
+0gp || 543gp || Sling
-0.3gp || 542.7gp || Bullets, sling (30) 0.3gp
-1gp || 541.7gp || Rations, trail (per day) x10

A few questions. I have to remove any items obtained from the scenario (ie the alchemist fire) right?

And I sold the cold weather outfit, but im not sure if is cold in Magnimar.

A little of retcon, tho not sure it makes a difference

Nius casts Stabilize on both the goblin and the captain, (with the condition that they be left to finish their duty and not be followed, otherwise the cleric can heal their captain).

Nius angers and frustration grows as he sees most of the attacks have been useless and calls forth once more power of nature, a gust of wind moving from around his hand towards the captain direction.

Casting storm burst on the captain.

Ranged-Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 Non-Lethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

LOL, this goblins will be dead long before we make it inside that room

Why didnt i think of that! Sadly i cant edit anymore, so i will roll again, sorry for the inconvenience!

Casting Storm Burst
Ranged-Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 Non-Lethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Nius calls forth the power of nature once more and cast storm burst on the captain.

[roll=Ranged-Touch Attack]1d20+2[/roll] [roll=Non-Lethal Damage]1d6[/roll]

After that he yells to the captain: "Have you people gone mad? hand in the goblins and surrender your weapons."

Edit: Dr. dont know why the rolls did not work, tried editing them but still gettting the literal writeup.

Id be interested as well.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Nius smiles warmly at the Captain and says:
"Your hospitality is really appreciated, as is this help with the Society, but i must voice myself with the companions, even if all the sharp objects were removed, and they had been overall well behaved, none of us would like them to become mischievous if they find themselves all alone without anyone to look after them pausing to look around "But id more than happy would join Yoren into taking care of the goblins."

Said so he moves closer to the goblins and smiles to them.

dont have trained Knowledge (Arcana)

Looking at the blue quartz inside the chest of the doll Nius says:
"What do you make of this quartz" As a precaution he does not touch it.

Nius moves defenselessly closer to the goblins, looking around to see if there is any more treats and ready to let lose another gust of winds to any possible attacker.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Sorry seems i didnt click submit yesterday :/
Nius calls forth the power of the Storm and a gust of winds go towards the creepy doll:

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 Non-Lethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Casting Storm Burst, sandard action, range 30 ft.

ok cool! I was wondering about it for awhile and i had been waiting until "my turn" and gotta admit the wait is agonizing! lol

So good to know :)

And yes it helps, and make things more flexible which is a good thing in my book (the book of Nius, lol)

Im a little confused and would like some clarification.

When we are running under Initiative order. Are we supposed to post on that order or just that the action will take place on that initiative order?

Thanks

Sorry missed the posting yesterday, got distracted.

Retcon while crossing the river:
Replying to Zondras comment before crossing the river: "There is never solitude in Nature, is always around us and smiling continues and yes, I had learned that there is coin is a big motivator for most civilized creatures... and even for the less civilized ones."

Outside the chicken leg house
Nius walks close to the group, looking around, getting a tighter grip of the house as the goblins start to panic and Telurion tells his tale, looking around for any sign of this dolls, while waiting for them goblins to reply to Jezebel's inquiry.

Perception check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

DrGabe, around what time is it? afternoon? evening?

Nius awaits for the hour to meet the troll and cross the river while wondering if he needs to buy something in town before the time comes.

Nius have become a briber! Bribing the goblins with food, bribing the troll with gold... That Neutral Good is looking more and more plain Neutral to me :D

oh lol, well im sure the Venture-Captain will reimburse us *whistles*

"What about an extra 50 gold pieces, Im sure such a reasonable leader like you can find good use for it."

Nius looks intently at the troll, trying to determine his reaction.

Sense Motive (i guess?): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

I only have 59, so if anyone else that came to talk with the troll wants to also pool resources, im really winging it, maybe the Troll will feel offended at the amount and smack us on the head.

I think im better assisting since I dont have much of a diplomat in me. And id reather we do a diplomatic approach first

addresing the Troll "You see, we would prefer to cross today, would there be any arrangement we could reach?" Nius shakes the coin pouch, hinting of a bribe to the Troll

Diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 + 1 = 15 either assisting of being assisted works for me, dunno if an attempt of bribery is diplomacy or bluff but the mods are the same for me.

I will assume the info about the troll was communicated.

Shall we visit this troll and arrange for the crossing of the river before the day is over? And should we take the goblin with us while we secure transport? Im of the mind only a few of us should go while the rest stay with our charges. Then meet here with the details of the arrangement in a couple of hours.

Nius is fine either way, keeping the charges safe or going to meet the troll

@Jezebel, missions are in post #46 (first page towards the end), Yoren is also from the same faction, i guess you all three could do the mission together assisting each other.

To the companions while we are outside: "Shall we book for passage as soon as possible? Or should we investigate the states of affairs in town for a little while before venturing for transport? I myself would like to move as soon as possible but first find out about transport, without having to drag our charges here all around town."

Knowledge (Geography): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9 to see if i know anything of the immediate area

Edit: hey look there is fish in the village that lies on the river border!

Depending how long the storm will last, e.g. until tomorrow, or just a few hours, Nius will try to prepare his spells with everyone packed together in the make-shift camp )) Other than that nothing myself.

last fight really left us exhausted, lol

trying to yell above the winds: "This storm was moving way too sudden!"
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 Nius shivers from the cold.

"If we do not finish this camp fast, we might as well freeze to death."
Survival to finish the camp: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

yay! we finish camp

lol you did quite well, i might end assisting))

Survival: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17

[ooc] yeppers! i should be assisting too! On a side note, im not 100% sure how assist work, like if more than one person can assist or not, but Jezebel can provide a +4 instead of +2 if she pass the assist role

Question, how do we know the content of the flasks?

And sorry, just realized I fumbled on the formating, missed the closing /.

Jezebel, no sorry, missed that. Dr. with Jezebel assist it would be 28 total on my Perception check.

Nius will cast Cure Light Wounds on Jezebel (I believe she is the most wounded party member. And will use my heal skill with my healing kit to patch up the rest of the wounds before we rested.
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Looking at Jezebel and leaning closer putting his hands above the wounds he says:
"Sorry we sent you to an ambush girl, let me take care of those nasty arrow wounds

DrGabe, do you want me to roll heal check for each of us? As for loot, id like to take one of the alchemist flasks. And i guess we divide the gold evenly?

The next day: [b]No attack must be a good sign! Lets make haste and be up on our way, the weather is too good to miss."[b]

Nius goes out to check the weather and try to determine how long this nice weather will last vs how far we are from our destination.

Survival check: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 = 22

Nius seen how everything had died out and how the others took care of the signal fire looks around the towers and the dead goblins.

Perception check: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 24 Would I need to make a separate roll from atop the towers to see if i can see any signal fire lit at the distance?

Addressing the group: "I concur with Jezebel, we better try to keep ourselves warm from this weather. But lets make sure the fire does not smoke much, we had enough with the signal fire earlier..."

After taking a moment to think he continues: "We should take turn to do watch through the night, we don't want our guests here to feel neglected."

Seen how the others had rushed to deal with the signal fire, Nius remembers he had offered to stay with Mifune and guard the goblins.

Runs down the stairs and out of the south tower to check on Mifune and the goblins.

You are, you are safekeeping the goblins! I feel bad i left your side after volunteering to stay, Nius would had caved in to the goblins insistence of joining in the fight, using some skewed logic.

Also you could decide to move forward because you fear there might be reinforcements comming due to the signal fire, and would be better to meet them as a group and not getting picked up on your own with the captives... just saying *grins*

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Nius tries to dodge the flames but is unable to maneuver on the stairs and takes the flames full to the chest.

"Arrrgh!"

In anger Nius calls forth Nature to lend him the power of the Storm. A gust of wind can be heard while Nius extends his hand is shot from his hand towards the shaman:
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 Non-Lethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Casting Storm Burst, sandard action, range 30 ft. If im out of range let me know and i will write a action. Also if i can do anything else i will move forward as much as possible.

Nius enters the south tower and follows Telurion to the steps saying with an urgent tone: "We must put out that signal fire before someone sees it"

In other words, Nius will enter thru the door to the south tower and goes up the stairs as high as possible, behing Telurion and Yoren.

ok cool to know, still would like to hear from the other players if is ok to use their "speech".

Also, im confused as to how Nius broke the door rolling lower than Yoren. Or you meant Zondras who rolled higher than us both? Or the DC to break the door lowers with multiple tries reflecting sort of damage taken?

sorry for the double post! Realized it was the wrong alias and tried switching it, but instead got posted twice under two different aliases :|

Nius keeps running towards the door of the south tower, hoping to break it with the impulse.
Str check to break the door: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

I think Nius slipped in the same patch of ice as Yoren.

Hope you all had a good thanksgiving weekend (or a good regular weekend if you don't celebrate that), mine was fine.

Now lets get baby rolling! Goblins are waiting to be slaughtered, and other goblins waiting to be delivered, oh so many goblins, i can feel already the xmass spirit, haha.

*pokes Telurion*

Assuming we all see the shaman igniting the fire.

Pointing at the south tower Nius yells: "That goblin just lit a signal fire! Them getting backups would be a disaster."

Forgetting he offered to stay guarding the goblins by the turn of events runs as fast as he can after Yoren and towards the South Tower.

Full round running like Yoren to get the closest he could towards the tower (4x20ft = 80ft).

Telurion, your name is in the "spoil" Init roll list, i guess he just forgot to add your name to the bottom list, but you should go after Zondras.

Nius looks at the goblins with a bit of disdain, and reaches to his backpack for another ration which he divide among the goblins saying with a clear upset voice: "You little fellas better stay calm and quite, just eat this for now, no no no! Not even another word, moan or scream or you will be getting no more food until u start to show some bones".

He divides the ratio and attempts a diplomacy (or maybe intimidation) check to quite the goblins.

Diplo or Intimidate: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8 Dr,both have the same modifier so whichever that action migth qualify as, either diplomacy or intimidation.

Edit: Ohh the little buggers will eat the 1/6th of a ration and keep screaming!

After taking into concideration the weather and hearing Telurion suggestion he says: "After closer consideration, we are too far away for my last idea of offering cover to be effective..." then looks at Jezebel to see what she replies to Telurion's question.

Interpret this as my failure to read spell descriptions properly, obscuring mist is a stationary effect with only a 20ft radius centered on the caster, which renders my previous idea at best ineffective.

If Jezebel does not offer to scout, I will volunteer to stay with Mifune guarding the goblins.
