Paul Granius's page

"I imagine our patron is more interested in seeing us leave this place as quickly as possible. Not to mention our lord probably has plans for us beyond simple vengeance." Paul sighs a bit, "However, I imagine they both want to see us as a group. So I will go along with with the idea of killing Blackerly though we shouldn't spend too much time on the whole thing...Killing the remaining guards should be our priority in case they notice us and raise an alarm. We should swiftly deal with the sergeant before leaving his place as soon as possible."

"Damn, hopefully the women can stand her ground for the moment." Paul says as he moves up the stairs.

Paul waits with Iana and whoever else stays behind as Dog Tooth and Kalethe scout ahead. "Interesting selection of books for sure. I doubt there is any need to appeal to the man. With his tastes, he will probably think he is 'vanquishing the evil that has risen up'."

Paul rears back another strike, aimed at the man's temple. "So sorry," he whispers to the man, "but we do need to get this over quickly and quietly."

Club attack, second verse same as the first: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 231d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Confirm Crit?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 No...probably no confirm crit :(

Seeing Iana miss really did put a damper on the day, all things considered. He moves forward with his own club raised and tries to strike.

Club attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Paul walks briskly down the hallway. How exactly did these people keep us contained for so long. None of them seem particularly...attentive.

As he walks toward the guard, he tries to listen for any sounds coming from the doors in the hallways, trying to not raise suspicion. He whispers to his comnpanion, "Iana, my dear if you would. I am not quite as martially inclined as you are."

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Paul smiles a little as Dog Tooth tries to use the weapon. Skilled and funny, not a bad one to have.

"You know, considering our disguises, it may be better to try to move forward a little...if we can get close to the man without raising the alarm, we may be able to stop him from doing anything..." Paul says. "Though for now, I think waiting for Kalethe is a good idea."

That's what I meant by "As the guards move closer", maybe I should have specified the exact distance but the closer they get the sooner they may recognize the ruse. In the future I will specify a more accurate distance.

As the guards move closer, Paul says, "Yes of course, please feel free to take a break. In fact, just stand right there." Indicating to Iana and the somewhat hidden Kalethe, "My friends, if you would deal with them." Paul motions toward the left guard. "Halt." .

Casting Command on the left guard. DC 16. Word is Halt IE Don't do anything.

"Good arguments from all of you. I'm fine with waiting, I suppose. However, we should see about finding a good place to either lure the guards to or something along those lines. Unless we set up the bodies to look like they are still alive,a hard thing to do now, they will be expecting to see their fellows at their posts. NOt seeing that may raise the alarm faster than we can kill them." Paul looks at the other guards equipment, "Considering the others of our troupe are of a more magical or dexterous persuasion, I will be taking this mans equipment as my fellow follower did." Paul starts to put on the chain shirt, and grabs a shield and club afterward.

Considering my otherwise abysmal AC, I would like the armor. I don't think Ami will be wading into combat and to be fair Dog Tooth, you have a good amount of AC so far. We'd actually be equal >.< If anyone has any objects, I'm free to hear em.

Feeling little about the screams of dead men, Paul says "Do we really want to wait for the guard change? Sure we can wait as the little one and the sorcerer's snake scouts but every moment we delay increases the likelihood of something happening we don't expect."

Kalethe, placed your token. Let me know if it's wrong. No token for Itzal so can't place him

Paul prepares for the distraction, waiting for the results of wizard's results.He stays put, realizing that he has little acumen for stealth and would be just as effective where he is now.

Delay action until after Ashmoniel's turn if I go before her.

"We should engage them on our terms. Have the big one attract the guards and I think we can all manage to get them before they alert any others. Waiting for them to bring food or anything of the like only increases the chance of there being more of them. Concentrate on whichever one has a horn or some other such thing." Paul says. He keeps on looking back and forth between the guards and the rest of the group, trying to keep track of their numbers.

"I would like to think that this is all I need," Paul holds the symbol up, "but I'm sure it will be useful regardless."

He puts the clothing to the side, not sure if they really had time to cloth themselves. He holds the pouch in one hand and the symbol in the other, in case he needed it.

Paul waits patiently as the goblin...thing removes his shackles. While he didn't care that the creature left him for last, he made note of it. He graciously says, "My thanks, ally. It is good to see that we have someone of your skills and trustworthiness here. We will probably need your skills even further."

Grabbing the symbol, he feels the weight of it in his hand, taking note of the simple warmth he feels emanating from it and says "I am willing to make the distraction, or better yet I may be able to command the loaf to come to us."

I do have Command prepared but not sure if I have line of effect. I could cast it and even if it fails, the verbal sound of it should cause the distraction we need. Just a thought.

"I have no qualms with that plan. It sounds as good as any...I am somewhat surprised that one of your...kind thought of such a plan. Not that I am disappointed. Having useful allies is a good thing. Especially in our current...predicament. If it comes to a fight, my master will undoubtedly give us aid, though I may need that symbol on the cloth to reach out to him properly." Rubbing his hand, Paul continues, "Those...cretins slashed and gnarled my true connection to my lord."

The addition of the ogre would make things easier for them for sure. Though it all hinged on the goblin actually meaning what he said and freeing them all. If trouble did happen and the little creature tried to escape without them...

Yeah, sorry for the lack of posting. This weekend has been a bit busy for me. I should have something more substantial in the gameplay thread and have my character done sometime soon.

Near the end of the chain gang sits another devilspawn. Even through the tatters of his clothing you can see a scar on the back of his hand, a scar in the shape of the 5 pointed star of Azmodeus. The symbol is slightly scared, as if someone had taken pains to cut and scar it. However, despite those efforts, it is obviously healing. He sits calmly, paying only a little attention to his cell mats.

Hearing the women yell out made him smile a little. A bit of a firebrand this one. Probably useful. The others seemed competent if a little...deviant. No matter, all in this horrible land will pay heed to my master.

"It matters little if we are feared, loved, or hated. As long as one is obeyed, unquestioningly, that is enough. So says the good book. We may be killed here. We may not. I would never put anything past my master's powers." Paul says, though he does think, At least, that's what I hope, my master does tend to believe more in 'Helping those who help themselves.' But he felt it better not to mention that.

Hi everybody!

Just checking in for now. Will do another once over of my character to finalize him before the end of Saturday. By that I mean, make sure all the numbers are correct and get everything set up correctly, not as mechanically the character needs a lot of work.

Here is GunMetalDrac's cleric. I'm sorta still figuring out where to go with the character mechanically but his background is done. Just an FYI, I think I went a little overboard with the full background and grabbed a snippet of it for the main "Background" section. I've included the whole thing at the bottom.

I still need to fill out the Personality and Description but that shouldn't take to long. I will let you know when they are done for a final review.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
