Pellius Thrune's page

Tesseyn? Is that you? Are you all ok?

He comes rushing into the cave. L-look at you; the spikes got you, too, huh? Same here. But we're ok. I had some healing spells.

Pellius looks over the lip of the slope and calls down, Watch out for the spikes!

Elsewhere....

Pellius Agility: 1d20 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (16) + 2 + (6) = 24

Padraig Agility: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15

4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 5, 6) = 15

Pellius, holding Padraig, moves towards the entrance of the ceramic room to try and escape to the entrance of the cave.

Halfway there, he stumbles and drops Padraig.

Come on, man. Get up. We gotta get out of here, he says to the halfling.

Strength: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Pellius moves towards Drot. You ok?

Agility: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Pellius moves towards the other end of the room.

There's a door over here, too! But it's shut like the other one. What do we do?

Pellius screams as he is crushed and pinned to the floor.

3 Damage to Pellius.

Ahhh! It burns! Pellius screams out. He withdraws back to safety.

Pellius moves up alongside Tesswyn, striking with his long knife.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Yeah. But maybe there's a lake upstream that gathered between the mountains and here, and fell out at a narrow point.

The two boys then turn to the group.

Which way? Pellius asks everyone.

Agreed, says Pellius.

So. Which way do we go? Downstream or upstream? Where does the lake gather?

Over the past few days, you've noticed that the two boys have stopped sniping at each other. It's less that they're getting along as it is that they've just been too exhausted to really bother.

Pellius stops short of the river as he hears the warning. What! What did you see?

But when given the all clear, he advances, washing off his face and arms.

Slow

Pellius moves to administer antitoxin to his fallen friend, Tate, while Sia helps to revive her brother.

Sia Stabilize: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Tate wakes up with 1 Health.

Pellius also comes in to attack, screaming as he swings his long knife wildly.

Slow, move and attack

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Miss!

I'm.. um.. I'm going to see if I can help, Pellius says. He enters the apothecary and does not come back out.

Pellius looks down at his feet when he's admonished and complimented at the same time. He seems a bit embarrassed to receive the compliments.

Upon request to help he says, Sure thing, boss.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Banes: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6
Perception: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 4 = 1

One additional item found.

The boys come out of the foliage and into the destroyed clearing. Pellius pokes at a fragment of lumber embedded sideways in a tree.

Woah. You guys did a number on that hag, didn't you? he asks.

Heelllloooooooooo! the voice calls out from behind several layers of foliage and trees.

Pellius is still some distance off, but you can hear him call out to see what happened.

Escape: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Pellius tries to break away from Billy's grasp, but is unable to. Finally, he relents.

Fine; let's just go.

Will: 1d20 ⇒ 5

What? No? No f$#!ing way! I'm fine now. It barely hurts anymore. I set out to see this through. I'm not abandoning the kids just because of a little set back! What if you all die? Someone will have to report it back!

Just let us hang back and stay out of sight; we'll be your lookouts and if anything bad happens we'll head straight back and report to the Sheriff.

As Pellius takes his short off to check for leeches, you can see where the troll got him. Large claw marks mar his abdomen and chest.

He takes three berries, and the wounds close as the magic heals him. But the scars remain. Five large claw scars remain behind.

Will be moving the game forward now that we have healing resolved. Give me a few hours.

I.. uh. What? No! I am not! his face blushes as he looks at Tesswyn, embarrassed and hoping she isn't watching him.

Yeah? Well.. I uh. I kind of forgot about that. Sorry Ms. Tesswyn.

But you still need to come out so someone else can look you over! You might have some more leeches somewhere!

I'm not thinking about going back! I'm just saying that when we do go back, we need to tell the sheriff.

And besides, you're more of a pussy hiding behind that tree!

Pellius looks less fine. His shirt and upper half of his waders are torn and his wounds still bleed. His shirt is damp with redness.

Sitting down on a dry patch, he takes off his boots and waders. I'm not doing so well. Is this what you guys do for a living? I've been out to these swamps many times, and I didn't even know those things lived here. The town needs to know about this, we're only a few hours away.

Charles' Fortune: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

Success!

The troll stumbles into a beam of light as he charges the boys. His skin starts to turn to stone!

+2 Defense, -2 Movement. When the trolls movement becomes 0, it is fully stone and it is dead.

I can't take us the same way. The waters have shifted. It's a f!$~ing swamp. It does that!

Waders protect Pellius from having to make a Strength check.

Pellius looks embarrassed at Gärwin's words, but at the mention of the have never bothering anyone before, he says, Pardon me, sir, but I thought she came from the fey world. You know, where that wolf thing came from? And that's why she's never been a problem before.

Umm..yes. yes. Of course I will.

He looks around nervously.

umm.. did you want to go tonight? Awfully dark out.

Ok ok. Look. He looks around to see if anyone else can hear, as if he could sense someone through the walls or something. He lowers his voice into a conspiratorial whisper. I was in the woods following Sia and her new boyfriend, Billy. I don't trust the guy; he's kind of an a~#!!!$. He's a jerk to everyone, and especially me. You can't tell anyone - Any. One. - that I was keeping an eye out for her. Ok? If she finds out, she'll never talk to me again. And of Billy finds out. I'll never hear the end of it from anyone! And he'll beat me up again. Pellius smirks at that last sentence, Well. He'll *try* to beat me up. I can run a lot faster than anyone on his clique.

Anyways, I'm friends with Brin, who's friends with Tate and Tate as you know is Sia's brother. And Tate told Brin who told me that Mia and Tate are both worried about Sia and Billy, and how Billy just wants her for.. well, you know, and that's not proper. She deserves to be treated with respect, and Billy doesn't have respect for anyone or anything. I saw him throwing rocks at the geese the other day, which just shows you how much of a jerk he is. He isn't good for her.

So I was following them just to make sure she was ok, just like Mia and Tate wanted. They weren't alone. Billy had a bunch if his friends with him. I can keep hidden when I want to, so they didn't see me. So they went deep into the marshlands where the hag lives. Sia didn't like it and kept asking Billy to go back. But Billy had to look brave in front of his friends, and they kept egging each other on. They found the hags house and started throwing rocks at the house. She wasn't there, or else I don't think they'd ever had come back alive. But I know I'd be pissed if some jerk and his friends were throwing rocks at my house. And I'd sure as heck curse them all, too, if it were me. Not saying it was me, cause it wasn't. But if it was, that's what I'd do.

A few days later, I told Brin what I'd saw. He must've told Tate and then word spread, and that's why people hi k I'm the one who caused it. But I ain't told anyone that's the reason I was there. I don't want no trouble with Billy. He can't find out I was there, ok? And neither can Sia!

Pellius looks away, while scratching the back of his head. I don't know. If word gets out, they'll be pissed. I... I can't.

Rules for social combat have been posted in the discord channel.

Basically, make a check vs one of his mental ability scores, and if you win, he gets influence points. When those points equal his Will score, he's out of the "combat" and the desired goal is accomplished. Tesswyn has gone for Befriending, which will adjust his attitude more favorably towards you.

Umm.. Hi, he says, with a half smile. Umm. Yeah. I did. I was out in the old swamp, uhh.. he looks down and away, just uh, hanging out, he looks back up, and that's when I saw her. Ugly old woman covered in vines and dripping mud. She was carving into a chicken and holding up its guts into the air, saying some weird language. Gotta be a curse, right? Happened just before everyone started getting sick.

Hi sheriff, he says, nervously.

The boy looks like he's about 15 years old. He's human, a bit dirty, and he keeps his eyes downcast. He looks fit, but probably not as fit as the farm lads - more like someone who is used to running.
