Unfortunately I will be away from my laptop for the next two days, so leveling up and posting will be difficult. Will do the best with what I have, though.

Ordywyt moves forward, not obliging himself in the banter of his allies, but joining their assault nonetheless.
Ordywyt makes his way down south along with Morthos.
Ordywyt curses as the wave of frost cuts into him, but quickly reacts to Daidalos falling. Moving over he whispers, "You're not going down to Hell yet, you bastard." Placing his hand down on Daidalos's shoulder, he casts a Cure Light Wounds.
Mumbling a spell, Ordywyt calls upon the strength of Asmodeus, enhancing his strength in battle.
Ordywyt moves up to the side of the closed door, but does not enter yet.
Ordywyt assists Daidalos, drawing his mace at the same instance to deliver a blow to the guard's skull.
Ordywyt narrows his voice into clear disinterest, raising his illusion helmet slightly to lock eyes with the guards. "Just a couple of errands, having to deliver messages and such. It's one thing to do this during the day, but the night too? They're working us like dogs, I tell you." Ordywyt smiles. "Just a few more, though, and then we can sleep. How are you fellows doing?" His tone of voice seems to suggest only a precursory respect,and that he should keep moving.
A slower pace would work fine for me!
Ordywyt sighs, feeling the pain in his now useless eyes. At least it would heal, but at the moment he couldn't see a thing. "I can never see a stupid bird the same again. Pehaps you should change your namesake, Raven."
Unable to see his foes, and feeling sick to his stomach, Ordywyt moves backwards, hopefully out of the swarm.
Ordywyt shrugs off the blows of the ravens, swinging in a wide arc to try to catch as many of the birds as he can with his mace.
Seeing Affyria make an attack, Ordywyt sees fit to follow up with another mace.
"Well, let's not burn it down now. No sense in giving a beacon that something is going on." Grabbing one of the quivers, Ordywyt pulls out a handful of the arrows. Breaking them over his knee, he puts them back in carefully to avoid splinters. "There's likely too many to do them like this, but hopefully they won't notice the sabotage until the battle starts."
"Indeed. We don't need to kill Barhold for this operation to be successful, but if reinforcements are able to arrive, well, we may see poor results." Ordywyt says.
Ordywyt, seeing the hasty job done by Daidalos, looks around for a more hidden location to hide the body.
If he finds one, Ordywyt does his best to silently move it there.
Ordywyt's mind pierces the priest's enchantment, his will solidifying through his hand. His mace swings through the air, aiming for a viscous blow to the body.
Ordywyt smiles. Better still he died cursing Mitra, renouncing his faith in his last breaths. Ah, but first was the mission. Bringing down his mace, Ordywyt focuses to break the priest's magic.
Yet, the inquisitor's blow falters, and his arms reel away from the priest before they strike.
Ordwywt looks into the hallway, trying to tell if anyone else heard the noise.
"I say we check the north room first. While we can't hear anything, you never know what could be in there. Better to check the areas we think are safe before the ones we know to be dangerous."
"If we take out the clerics first, the garrison will have severe problems with wounds, poison, and disease. All factors that can turn the tide of battle. We can work on the soldiers later, if we need to.
Ordywyt follows suit, taking the guise of a guard. While he usually did not use disguises, the aid of magic made his appearance impeccable.
Ordywyt has a couple of face skils, but I think the focus should be more on who is comfortable making decisions for the entire party. I'll probably have to pass. Too much pressure for me, thank you.
Level Up!:
=> so, 7 with average +1 BAB +1 Fort and Will 2nd level spells! Learning Invisibility and Darkness Another Judgement/day +1 STR 9 Skill Ranks: Bluff, Diplomacy, Knowledge(dungeoneering, planes, religion), Perception, Sense Motive, Stealth, Survival A small note: I forgot about the Misdirection ability from the Infiltrator Archetype. For future reference, Ordywyt should detect as LG.
Um... Probably?
The only thing I don't like about it is that it gives evidence that someone planned the encounter. But word-of-mouth is too risky, so I think the note is the best option.
"Well, on to the business at hand. The secret passage." Ordywyt says, dropping to a whisper.. "This is most fortunate for us, to the point of mild suspicion. Why does this humble bar owner have some kind of entrance to Havenlyn's cellar?"
Ordywyt rises out of bed. Must be another guest here. No, it's never just some other person. I'd better go check. Picking up his mace and dagger, he quietly tries to peek through the door.
Ordywyt takes a seat next to Morthos, his disguise that of a blond haired peasant. His eyes flicker over each member of the Knot before he speaks. "You may call me Ordywyt. I have heard of your escapades, and I must say it is a pleasure to meet you all." While his expression shows no such respect, he still extends his hand in greeting.
The temptation to start the conversation with Timo with: "By lordy, my name be Ordy." But man, is that out of character. By the way, Ord-eewit is how I pronounce it in my head. Feel free to to use anything different. It's not like I would know.
"And I am Ordywyt." The half-elf speaks last, as if learning another's name before they learn his is a victory in its own right. To Morthos' question, he responds bluntly. "Thorn saved my life, both physically and spiritually. But it is not that debt that leads me to serve him. He is a just leader, both kind in gift and harsh in punishment. Because of that, I am more than willing to follow him, an extension of the Lord of Hell's will." Ordywyt looks over the two men, gauging their worth. While he would never question the Cardinal's decisions, it was always good to know their strength and loyalty. "May I ask you the same question, Morthos?"
Decided to upgrade my armor to a +1 rather than masterwork, and buy an elixir of truth. Not that I don't have confidence in being an inquisitor... but you never know.
Actually, I bought a hat of disguise with the normal starting wealth - could I refund it?
Hey y'all! Good to be joining with you. Like Javell, I need to do hitpoints.
Going to dot and delete in gameplay as well. Considering hero points having a maximum of 3, we better do something with them this level then, lest they go to waste :) |
