Pizzmic shrieks as the Goblin blade nicks his arm dropping the crossbow to his side...The gnome will atempt to tap the goblin as it recoils from its assault. [dice=Dazing Touch]1d20[/dice] Pizzmic looking fairly annoyed by his inability to contact the wobbly headed greenskin utters a command in gnomish at his companion. DOGGRIN ANGREB, GRøN LEDET SVIN! Gnomish translation: The mastif mount without hesitation lunges at the goblin ahead of him jaw and teeth snapping loudly as they look for their mark. DOGGRIN SICK THAT green-headed BASTARD!
Pizzmic having to cover his face from the storm just happens to look up as the winds die down for a moment. Goblins raiders ahead make ready! Pizzmic knowing his prepared spells require closer opponents in order to confound decides to fire his heavy crossbow hanging from his chest at the closest goblin approaching the caravan. The small gnome springs forward about half a pace ahead of his dear friend hoping to protect her from harm.
Pizzmic will nudge Alia as he waits for the caravan to take off. Ashen looks a little bewildered by all this huh? She reminds me off this apprehensive cleric i once met not that long ago. smiling up at his dear friend he will call out to the Sorceress motioning her to come to walk with Alia and himself. Good Morning Madam Nyteshade are you excited for today's adventure? Pizzmic utters the statement with a not so subtle hint of sarcasm hopefully making the uncomfortable Ashen smirk at his attempt of being funny. Sigh....I just hope for a uneventful trip and of course a constant breeze. Unfortunately I doubt either wish will be fulfilled before it's all said and done. Pizzmic smiles at her briefly before changing the subject to the sweltering heat and how he might of over done it the night before.
Pizzmic will awake with a slight hangover cringing at the early morning light as it peers through the cracks in the shade. He will pull out his traveling spellbook and memorize his daily allotment of spells before heading down stairs for some breakfast. Pizzmic knowing he is probably late compared to the rest of the party settles for a couple loaves of warm bread instead of his normal sausage gravy over potatoes. He walks out front of the Inn and inspects Doggrin's harness making sure it is all in order he makes his way to the caravan. Pizzmic notices the party speaking to the other people accompanying them on the journey and will introduce himself with his normal flamboyant manner, only this time from the back of Doggrin who kneels to the ground upon command. I am most pleased to meet your acquaintance gentlemen, I am Lord Pizzmic formally of the shallow mire. If there is any way I can aid you on this journey only ask and I will accommodate to the best of my power. After the expected small talk Pizzmic will eventually leave the newcomers to take his place beside Alia. Good Morning child, I trust you slept well?
Maybe its a local term I don't know but cuatroespada is pretty close with its meaning. Pizzmic will talk a lot that's where he is most comfortable so if given an audience he will aim to please. That kind of distractions can make for long sessions in pbp so if we aren't moving fast enough due to pizmmic holding the game up please tell me if its annoying and ill back down from posting so much.
Pizzmic listens to the muscled rogue nodding as he speaks to relay that he understands what Nico is saying. The gnome instantly thinks of several logical rebuttals that would dissolve the credibility of most of the rogue's argument but decides to refrain for the betterment of the task at hand. He being fairly satisfied with the result of the albeit brief conversation shakes hands then returns to Alia and the other lovely ladies of the party that are poised at the bar. Aye, ladies fret not for we have returned. I trust the beverages are to your liking?...... Pausing for a response he continues after a moment. I must say although today's events while albeit unfortunate I must commend everyone for their swift actions. I already know how brave dear Alia is in the perils of battle but I was utterly flabbergasted by Madam Imperia. The righteous fury she exhibited today brought much honor to the Goddess of Honor and Justice. Ashia and Ashen the fast thinking of each of you kept all of us undoubtedly safe from harm as the situation was resolved in a matter of seconds. Please accept these drinks as a symbol of my thanks and the hopes for a event-less journey from here forward. Pizzmic removes his hat kicking his left foot forward begins to bow at the three ladies before him after which he offers to buy a second round for the party as he climbs back up the barstool wobbling for a moment and then plops himself down beside Alia. He sees her concerned look and feels as though he might have offended her earlier in some way. He taps her ever so gently on the knee and whispers to her: I hope i haven't offended you child, I felt Nicolae and I needed to sort some things out before we leave town tomorrow. We seem to have come to terms at least for the moment but when we venture out of the city tomorrow stay close you are the only person I wholeheartedly trust out of this whole lot and I'm concerned for our safety.
Pizzmic heads to the inn leashing Doggrin out front near the other mounts be it camels or horses attached to the hitching rail. He walks through the doors into the dusty inn finds a stool near the bar and climbs up it slightly leaning on the bar with his elbows as he stands on the stool. He raises his hand and orders a drink for himself slowly drinking as he's lost in his thoughts. When the others arrive he does the same for his compatriots telling the bartender that the first round is on him. Pizzmic grabs two glasses from the bar after having already paid the tab and begins his stumble-y climb down, spilling some of the brew as he goes. Ok Nicolae lets talk inspecting the two glasses for quantity he hands nicolae the one with the smaller amount of brew, turning to the others he continues. Please excuse us while we take our leave it will only take a moment the bartender awaits your orders. Pizzmic attempts to usher nicolae as far away from the party as possible finding a couple seats he starts to speak. Nicolae thank you for taking a moment to speak with me, I feel as though today's events were appalling and could in some repects been largely avoided please indulge me for I might be a little long winded. The last few weeks I have noticed much about our company and your dedication for this assignment is noted. You obviously have an affinity with all things martial in many ways probably the most skilled individual in our party with a blade and undoubtedly is why you were picked for this task by venture captain Hestram. raising his hand for a moment as he takes a large drag on his drink he slowly swallows and then continues. I myself do not have such an affinity for combat and must seek more diplomatic ends to resolve problems often with my words and some times with the wiles of magic influence but usually ending up with the same result. I was assigned this task because I am able to dissolve hostile situations without the need of placing pathfinders needlessly in harms way and when there is no other option i can provide a powerful boon for people such as yourself. I understand you have you own background and experiences that have sculpted your personality and that's fine and well but we are the representatives of the organization. We have been trained for countless hours for our impulses to be quelled for the greater good of the society, you murdering the cleric in cold blood is not becoming of a pathfinder. We exist to aid and explore the world in which we live but not above or beyond the parameters of the law. When we kill it should only be out of necessity to protect ourselves and those we care about, it should never come so easy as to slay a defenseless already defeated foe. Pizzmic waits a moment to read the rogue's expressions before continuign even futher. My words are not meant to seem challenging there is no doubt that if you wanted me dead like that cleric you could do so with about the same amount of effort. But being I do not take you as such a man we need to find a a way to work together in such a way that both of our individual talents can be used. If you afford me the chance to talk down encounters before they break out into combat I will do all in my power to provide you with the distractions you need to get into position when combat breaks out. I offer you my word to help you in any way I can if only you are able to do the same in return. Pizzmic extends his hand to the rogue to shake hopefully coming to an understanding that isn't misconstrued or ignored.
Pizzmic eyes the brutish rogue up and down shaking his head with utter disgust. Pizzmic having prided himself in having neary mastered the arts of deception throughout his many years couldn't muster a straight face when looking at the blatant fountain of stupidity in from of him. Pizzmic stomps off out of the house completely beside himself muttering to himself. damned fool, brutishly ignorant close minded buffoon! The heated gnome brings his hands to his mouth and releases a loud pitched whistle DOGGRIN COME!..... Climbing all but gracefully up the large dogs back the gnome positions himself in the riding saddle takes a few deep breaths to regain his composure then turns to the party. I need to wash the idiocy of today away with a couple stouts back at that little Inn i was so unfortunately persuaded to leave. WHile i know most of us are tired from our afternoon of bloodlust i was wondering if you Master Tiberius would be willing to accompany me for a couple drinks. There are a few things i wish to discuss with you if you'd be willing. What say you?
Pizzmic huffs as he walks into the house standing next to his companion he will mutter a few words under his breath and a cone of fantastical colors burst forth out of his hands. Pizzmic casts Color Spray hoping to end the combat before it gets too bloody.
Pizzmic makes his way to the venture captain's home once more noticeably disgruntled mumbling to himself as he makes his way. When he nears the house he will tap himself and Alia with the wand of Mage armor and he waits for the ensuing combat as Imeria accuses the cleric of foul play. While the cleric is distracted Pizzmic will begin casting hypnotism on the cleric
Well Madam paladin my only concern is if this information is wrong and we accuse the lepers a third time we will have a fight on our hands in a foreign city with probably customs that are especially severe on outsiders. looking over to Alia. It's your call dear if you want to go back to the house i will attend but my attempts at diplomacy are over. We are not vigilantes and bursting in the Venture-Captains house smashing skulls will surely get us arrested. I suggest we try to locate the local guard and inform them of the concerns instead of approaching the house alone. Everyone Just take note that we five pathfinders are following the irrational whims of one blindly prejudice cutpurse.
So Alia have you heard from Sunic or Wilhelm since our last meeting? It surprising I haven't seen you all in Absalom for several months. I do really relish the opportunity to work together again.... leaning in for a moment whispering to the cleric. I just hope that rogue doesn't get us locked up in a strange city with little society presence. We need to be careful least we be considered accomplices to his brash actions and jailed two weeks from the city. Regardless you have an ally with me stay close child and we both will be fine.
Pizzmic doesn't turn around but hears Nicolae as he approaches smiling he remains silent. Some men so brave when they have a posse behind them. remove the posse remove the man. Pizzmic ole boy you are entirely too clever. This Nicolae has conviction if only we can help him direct it in the right fashion he might be of some use to us, firstly we need to teach him to keep his stinking trap shut.
I would not discount such a debacle, yet. Alia confides to her. Pizzmic has offered to buy a round of drinks: come and let us see if his famed generosity will extend to more. Pizzmic looking up from his mount scoffs with a slight smirk at Alia's comment, undaunted he continues hoping others with follow. There's nothing worse then a confrontational buffoon making a mess of a situation. Pizzmic ole boy you reason with some, just get your distance and hopefully the cleric remembers your face as that of reason. This instance will recorded in my log back to Venture-Captain Hestram
Pizzmic realizing he is getting no where with the cantankerous rogue turns to the clergymen bows again Well thank you gentlemen i shall return tomorrow and again i truly apologize for the inconvenience.Pizzmic then walks out of the building again, mounting his noble steed and turns to Alia. Alia my dear would you like to have a drink and get out of this heat? I'll buy the first round everyone lets leave these men to their work. Pizzmic will continue unto the Inn/tavern stopping just outside waiting for everyone who follows to catch up.
What in the Gods? Pizzmic hurriedly dismounts his noble steed taps himself with a wand of mage armor then rushes back into the house. Nicolae Tiberius! you are a pathfinder find your resolve sir! Your personal convictions matter not while you represent the society. This behavior is very unbecoming and i implore you please take your leave before making any bigger of a spectacle and further dishonor our esteemed colleague. Pizzmic not waiting for a response looks to the leper clerics. Gentleman I apologize for any offense we may have caused, our journey has been long and toilsome. Do you think it would be possible to rush the proceedings just to appease our overly exuberant companion? Pizzmic will roll his eyes when saying the last bit with back his back turned to the rogue fighter to show his utter disgust with the outburst.Hopefully distancing himself and the rest of the party from being blindly associated with the rogue.
Pizzmic smells the odor from within the room quickly notices the grotesque hosts....instinctively He reaches out to give the closest man a handshake before quickly recoiling his arm and scratching the back of his neck nervously... His body wasn't prepared before our arrival? What other preparations need to be taken, just an inquisitive mind and all. Pizzmic asks very non-threatening with a puzzled slightly confounded expression. Pathetic people these lepers... two weeks and they can't even have the corpse ready...ugh pathetic indeed....is he missing an ear?!....EWWWW...
Well being we have the pleasure of staying in this beautiful city over night do you have any recommendations? Pizzmic being creeped out by the entire situation will continue to make small talk until seeing his opening in the conversation to take his leave. Pizzmic will seem very interested in the lepers words referring to him by name when appropriate. After getting the information needed Pizzmic will return to Alia and the others. Ushering the human cleric down to his level he whispers to his companions. Does it seem odd to any of you that they would let lepers within city limits? I always thought they lived in separate colonies excluded from the normal population....Hmmmm peculiar place indeed. Pizzmic will shrug his shoulders at Alia. Come 'er Boi' He mounts the noble steed sitting nearly shoulder high with his human counterparts awaiting for suggestions for the next coarse of action.
Alia my dear! I didn't recognize you with the new haircut how have you been?....Oh this is my noble steed Doggrin, i figured it prudent being I didnt have access to Sunic's shoulders to find a mount more suited for my needs. Pizzmic asks a few locals for directions eventually making his way to the house but somehow the rogue stumbled upon it before him. Well look at all these people, its been two weeks no one mourns like this at least not in public Pizzmic will enter the house of the former Venture-Captain removing his hat and placing it in both hands will ask to speak with whoever has been charged with looking after the estate. Once shown who to speak to Pizzmic will begin harnessing a somber expression before approaching the individual(s). Hello my name is Pizzmic my party and I have been sent by the Society to escort Venture-Captain Targos Min-Katheer on his final journey back to his home city. We are humbly at your service. He bows again and waits for any responses.
Why surely Madam.... Pizzmic bending over claps his hands a couple times. COME HERE BOY! A oafey mastif barrels towards the small gnome at full speed disregarding any obstacles or individuals that would block his path . HEEL HEEEL!!!!! The gnome frantically waves his hands back and forth at the dog ordering him to stop. Doggrin attempting to heed his master's beckoning skids his hindquarters along the cobblestone walk stopping a few feet short of the weary gnome. the dog waits anxiously as Pizzmic approaches wagging his tail profusely the entire time. Pulling a lease from the one saddle bag Pizzmic attaches it to the dog's collar and walks the prancing dog over to Ashen. He's a little rambunctious but a fiercely loyal companion. SIT BOY! You can pet him if you want he's quite affectionate
A small pasty white gnome sits at the table stroking his meticulously groomed beard at the table Venture-Captain Adril Hestram informs the party of the upcoming assignment. He is wearing a purple suit with white frill at the end of each sleeve, a suit entirely too fancy to be fesible for adventuring but all the same he wears it oblivious to how out of place it seems. Pizzmic ole boy, how did you get stuck transporting a Gods forsaken corpse through a desert miles away from the city. Ughhh I don't know if you're really cracked up for this whole society yank around, but we'll play alone for now i suppose. Pizzmic nods during the entire explanation keeping intent concentration on the speaker making sure that he sees his "sincerely earnest dedication" to the assignment. Once the venture captain is done speaking the gnome will place a large oversized hat with a huge flamboyant feather across his chest and takes a very dramatic bow to his host.Venture-Captain thank you for the honor to serve the society, I will prepare for the journey at once. Pizzmic will exit the room with haste and waits for the party to gather outside before making introductions. Pizzmic walks over to the others and does a similar bow as before. Greeting fellow pathfinders I am Pizzmic formally of Shallowmire, I'm pleased to meet your acquaintance. I guess we shouldn't keep Master Katheer waiting... Does anyone need to make any preparations before we leave? Pizzmic scans his companion's expressions for any smirks or darting glares at his comment before continuing the small talk until the arrangements are taken care of the party heads off to Lopul. He will attempt to connect with the other travelers during the journey telling some stories of his life and often bringing conversation somehow back to something he can relate too. He hides his disdain for the hot climate to himself ever so often insisting from time to time that Doggrin is becoming overheated and needs to rest a bit, Doggrin seems relatively unphased by the heat while pizzmic cowers under any available shade that presents itself. When the city finally emerges into sight Pizzmic begins to flutter with excitement. Ugh finally tonight i'll be able to bathe away this entire debacle....just in time to transport a two week old corpse in this sweltering heat...damn it all!
are all the positions filled? I'm interested in playing a halfling barbarian with the titan mauler archtype. Assuming the group isnt filled yet here are my rolls: /10 STR or INT
/14 STR or WIS
/14 STR or CHA
So after looking on the posted site on how to pick my stats i think i figured it out. rolls racial mods totals
OK here we go after Reckless' explanation i have lowered the stats accordingly. still really good for level one but he's not quite as god like. Are you going to allow alternate racial traits and the mini feat traits from the apg?
Pizzmic looks at the scene and visualizes how this could play out to the townguard. pizzmicvwill search the tied up woman for any items that would identify who she is and looks for any loot that could be salvaged for the society as payment for their transgession. Pizzmic while looting the bodies keeps one eye up the alley for appoarching guards if notices any movement through the mist that appears to be guards or the like he will spear head the conversation explaining how the four people laid in ambush presumingly thinking we were easy targets and were sorely midtaken. He will explain the story in such a manner that makes the use of lethal force was the last option and attempted to detain the criminals but two of them fought to the death.
Pizzmic lost in thought doesn't notice the three figures until wuliems bomb explodes. Pizzmic half startled lets out a little yelp agh.... what the what?! pizzmic hastly moves to E3 and casts bungle onto the cloaked man near the wall (will save 15) surrender now or prepare to meet your companion's fate
Madam rest assured that no personal agendas will conflict with this task at hand, we will return your imp to you alive and hopefully unharmed now hopefully to leave the woman not insulted and more at ease with our aid. Pizzmic will enter the room moving to E5 and will cast sleep on the Imp(will save 15)
pizzmic being slightly lower than the trap when it is set off is easily able to sheild himself from the raining powder.pizzmic looks at the servant and says hmmmm yes very well.....are we done the puzzles and other child's play? I would like very much not to be delayed any futher from the task at hand
Pizzmic looks at the lower table. back up everyone let me see whats inside here Grabs the lid of the wicker basket and shakes it enough to move around whatever could be inside. ok lets hope its not full of snakes! waiting to hear and feel what moves around if it doesnt appear to be dangerous pizzmic will lift the lid and back up immediately. |
