Ray gasps as the pain all but disappears "Thankyou." He considers for a moment "We could use someone of your considerable... talents. Please join us." Ray sits with the other two "Do you know anything about those stones back there? Do you think it's wise to go back and try and do something with them once more?"
Ray sighs He doesn't seem threatening and he seems to know more than us. He puts away his Rapier "Sorry guess I'm still a little on edge. What will happen to me, that strange feeling? What is it?" He looks at the strange emblem "What does that symbol mean?" He kneels down by the water aswell and begins washing his wounds.
Ray draws his rapier and stumbles to his feet "How do you know it will fade?" He looks shocked at the sudden appearance of this man. Ray listens as Calist introduces himself, he replies but keeps his sword pointed at the mans chest "I am Ray, this is my companion Navaris." He looks down at his bloodied side "I do, but how do I know I can trust you."
Got a post up now :)
Ray walks over to the water and kicks a nearby stone into it. "I don't know what this is." Suddenly he turns and walks over to her taking her hands in his "Are you ok...I mean that was a tough few minutes we had back there." He smiles kindly, "Try washing your hands in the lake. Never know might help." He looks about himself for anything unusual while Navaris busies herself with the strange feeling. Perception:
1d20+5 OOC: I have some ideas but nothing that I would feel confident enough to share ;)
I just want to know!!!!! :D
Yey I thought I would wait till you got back before posting :) just about to go to bed but I will try and get something up quickly. Hope you had a nice time :)
OOC:
Don't worry about it I completely understand. Plus we have gotten quite far in a short period of time. This is moving really quickly for a PbP. :D Ray looks back at the Skeletons, relief in his eyes, then fear sinks in. "I don't know what this feeling is, but I really don't like it." He looks down at his wounds assessing the damage, he quickly realises that one more blow may just have finished him off. The adrenaline stops coursing and pain replaces it. He pushes it back and tries to focus once more. Perception Check:
Ray Perception:
Navaris Perception: OOC: Yep I really didn't know if I was gunna survive that. But we managed to take down a good few I reckon. I was hoping they would follow so we could pick them off one by one :D I guess I enjoy living on the edge ;)
I am still obsessed with those stones!!!
Ray Round 6 I think we're in over our heads!!! Ray tries to hit the closest skeleton to him with his crossbow before running 30 feet to 1923 (or as far as he can go.) Club Attack:
Navaris Round 6 Navaris tries the two skeletons closest to her with the pommel of her sword. She then runs to 1822 if she can.
Cleave Attack:
Crossbow slap:
Longsword attack:
OOC: I would use them both if Navaris managed to get a decent roll :P
Looks like they may be goners now, though can't complain curiosity really did kill the cat :D
Map Link:
The map link doesn't work for some reason. Not sure why just comes up with an error.
Are the little white people the skeletons?
Ray sees the skeletons attack and he shouts out in panic Navaris!!! he charges to attack one that Navaris is fighting. He attempts to club it with his crossbow. Crossbow smack:
Haven't got the rules in front of me and can't see the map but hope I can charge. I believe charge gives me +2 to attack and hitting with my improvised weapon gives -4 to my attack. Hopefully that is right.
Navaris sword hilt attack:
Not sure if there are rules for attacking with the hilt of your sword. OOC: Yeah I figured that my characters would never have actually met skeletons so they wouldn't know how to deal with them properly. Basically I was trying to avoid Meta-gaming :P
Ray: Round 3 "I don't think this stone thing is gunna work." He reloads his crossbow and aims at the skeletons south this time. Ranged Attack:
Guess not :P Navaris: Round 3 Yep I say we get out of here. She runs to attack the skeleton at 1714. She swings her longsword with all her strength. Longsword Attack:
OOC: No that helps a lot thankyou. I think it was more my fault than anything ;) I think I have myself in a merry pickle.
OOC:
oops sorry forgot it was Round two. That will be Navaris round. Ray pulls up the crossbow and fires at the skeletons to the west aiming at a Skeletons knee to slow it down further. Then reloads. Ranged Crossbow Attack:
Game Mechanics:
Oh right sorry about that. I thought that I could Reload as the Move Action. Then Move using my Standard Action.
Ah yeah I picked up my crossbow. Well thanks for letting me off ;) Navaris has her weapon readied and then quickly runs over to . Making sure to remain just inside the circle of stones, she gets her sword at the ready. Ray looks around "Erm...No"
He gets a moment of relief when the stone slides into place...then realises it was probably not such a good idea. He replies to Navaris's frantic question "I don't know why you feel it but it's I can't feel it. Step near the centre see if that helps." Initiative:
He will pick up his crossbow and load it then move to the centre of the stones. OOC: That should be my move done.
I wasn't sure if you would like me to take Navaris's move or not.
Fort Save:
Ray manages to hold the weight of the stone but grunts with the effort, he manages to gasp enough breath to shout to Navaris "This will all be pointless unless you help me!!!" Ray Diplomacy vs Nav Sense Motive:
I think Navaris would come back to help but correct me if I am wrong anywhere.
Navaris runs back over and helps with the weight they once more begin pushing the stone back into place. Ray tries to get a judge on how close the Bones are and how long they would take to reach them. Perception:
OOC: Hope I haven't made a mistake with this one but I guess it's no fun if I don't take risks ;)
I wasn't sure if I rolled everything needed so if you want anything more feel free to roll it for me. Hope your work isn't to hard on you!!!
Ray simply stands in shock staring at each of the mounds in turn. "There is to many..." He thoughts race wildly but one thought keeps pushing to the front of his mind We weren't here first. They created us and put us in this world but something...someone was here before. He shakes himself Can't think about that now. "Quickly Navaris help me lift this stone back up. I don't know what it does but might help us." He drops his crossbow next to the stone leaving it within easy reach. She runs over and tries to help him lift the large stone back into place. Strength Check:
I don't know if this will work but no harm in trying.
OOC: Wow that sounds nasty I feel sorry for you.
I don't know but I am definitely nervous. I was tempted to run but I am to curious for my own good ;)
Ray moves close enough to study the stones but he is wary enough not to step straight into the circle. He remains about 10ft away and studies the symbols of each stone individually. Knowledge Check:
If nothing happens he will move up to the stones and follow the lines on each symbol with his fingers. "Navaris do you have any idea what this is." Navaris Knowledge:
If still nothing happens he will gingerly walk into the centre of the circle "Stay alert and before you ask no I don't have a clue what I'm doing." He looks at the centre stone trying to see anything in particular that stands out. Perception:
OOC: That is a great picture, better than anything I can do anyway.
Don't worry about posting if you are to busy at work. 12 hour shifts sound nasty!!!
He smiles happily when she uses his shortened name Maybe she is starting to like me. He scratches his stubble "Hmmm...I was hoping they would remain fairly close, at least for a little while. They may be to far ahead now... Let us head back east towards that strange rock formation, that just didn't sit right with me. He packs up his stuff once more and holds his crossbow ready, however he hasn't loaded a bolt. Navaris draws her Longsword as they walk. OOC: That's no problem I understand completely. I have a couple of weeks off uni so I am able to post fairly often at the moment.
I am really enjoying it I have no complaints so far :D I will take baby steps with the CNPC thing just so I can get a feel for how it works. Let me know if I overstep anything.
It's no problem :) there is no rush :)
Yep I want to fully explore that hex. I am thinking that if the human is dead we may not be able to find him otherwise. :)
Ray grabs some of the berries aswell, sniffing at them before popping several into his mouth. He thinks for a moment It would certainly be good to find some extra people. He looks directly in her eyes before speaking "I hope that they have maybe just moved away..." He finishes up his food not saying much more, then he packs his things and takes his crossbow from the back of his pack. He glances sideways at Navaris and shrugs "Just in case." He sets off when everyone is ready in a north easterly direction, 2I suggest that we explore this area thoroughly." Perception:
He will try to find any trails or signs of a human passing. OOC:
Ray smiles at Navaris "Thanks" He lays his bedroll down near the fire and climbs in. Quickly falling asleep.
Ray kicked the centipede head away from them and quickly moves over to Navaris trying to calm her down "Navaris thankyou for the help, but I don't think wandering off in the night searching for bugs is a wise idea." He wanders over to the body and drags it away "I will check the perimeter you sit down and calm yourself." Diplomacy Roll:
Perception for more bugs:
Ray wanders the perimeter with his Rapier drawn trying to spot any creatures in the darkness.
Ray cries out as the centipede bit into his recently healed leg. initiative:
Fort Save:
He manages to resist the insects poison but is not quick enough to react to the creatures initial attacks. What is it with that damn leg!!!
I don't mind either way but what about if you came up with a DC for maybe hunting different creatures. For example: DC 20 for deer
Something like that. Then it can be kind of tailored to the environment. That was just a quick idea and I don't mind if you think it is a bad one. Edit: Sorry about not posting I was sleeping :D
He thinks for a moment while eating some of his rations "I suppose here at least we can spot if anything is coming. But they can just as easily see us." He looks around for any sort of cover that they can hide in, maybe a dip in the ground or something of the sort. Perception:
"I would suggest that we take it in turns on watch and keep the fire low while we do so." He rubs his hand through his hair "I will take first watch." OOC: If nothing happens in the night .
If he finds any place to hide he will move there. Yeah they can travel the 4 adjacent hexes and will end in the 4032 hex east of them assuming they don't get assaulted :) Rest I don't really know what you mean?
"Hmm I believe I guess I was tired." He looks around "I do not wish to stay here for another night, I say we scratch the whole forest I idea and get a lay of the land. Maybe travel north." The pain from his leg throbs at his words "Slowly." OOC:
He thinks for a moment before speaking once more "I would not count on others showing us warmth, yet I believe in trusting someone until they break it...A vice of mine I suppose." He hobbles over to collect his backpack, crossbow and the rest of his things, making sure everything is secured before swinging the bag onto his back. "As for plans, I have none just whims. At the moment I would wish to explore the forest in detail, search for others maybe find some Game." he studies her a while "Do you have plans"
Perception:
Ray notices her hand go to her sword, he slowly raises his to attempt to placate her. "I don't want a fight...I think we can help one another." he thinks for a moment "In truth I do not know where I come from...There were people Asair and Eluna, they spoke strangely. Of creation...They said they created us." He shakes his head and takes a small step closer "I then 'awoke' on a range hill about a days walk from here. This bond was what brought me here." "Trust me and we can watch each others back."
Heal Check:
A dull pain hums from his leg however upon inspection the swelling had noticeably dwindled, he tested it by standing up and putting weight on it. Ray tries not to show any pain or discomfort.
He looked into her eyes, [b"]The last time I tried to show kindness...this happened."[/b] he gestured to the corpse. He sighs She has offered her help why should I distrust her. Ray studies the woman a while longer before removing his hand from the hilt of his blade and softly speaks "I am feeling ...better but I have a multitude of questions and I would hope for answers. Firstly what is your name? I am Rayalai." He rubs his arms "And what is that strange tingling all over my body? Are you doing this?" OOC:
Ray hears the snap of bone and smiles wryly, Harder punch than I thought. Then he grimaces as the pain arches through his leg, he flexes slowly feeling how bad the damage is, eliciting a sharp grunt as he does. "Won't be able to walk... for a day or two at least." He stretches out on the ground recovering his breath before slowly crawling over to the creatures body. He inspects it to see what type of beast it is or if it holds any useful equipment. Perception Roll:
After looking at the creature he tries to find any large sticks that he could maybe use as a walking stick or splint. He is careful not to put any pressure on the leg. Perception Roll:
Finally he will return to the camp and roll out his Bedroll, sleeping and eating periodically through the day. If nothing happens during the night he will rest until morning before setting off through the forest once more if possible. OOC:
Ray grunts in pain as he is brought to his knee, his crossbow flies out his hands as he falls he growls in anger "So much for been nice." Quickly he strikes out with his fist trying to get a lucky shot. Melee Unarmed Attack:
Non-Lethal Damage:
OOC:
Ray quickly rises from the ground raising the Crossbow from his lap as he does and fires. Ranged Attack:
Ranged Damage:
The bolt releases and carves through the air...
Ray will rest his back to the fire watching the creature run around, while he does so he removes his Crossbow, inserting a bolt into the mechanism. Once the weapon is prepared lays it on his lap for easy reach and begins eating some of his rations, however he is always ready and waiting in case the creature attacks. He eventually plucks up the courage to call out "Reveal yourself. I wish you no harm...All I want is to sleep and then carry on my journey." He thinks for a moment before speaking again a cool bead of sweat dribbling down his forehead. "I would welcome you into my camp...Aslong as your not evil that is." diplomacy:
ooc: No need to be sorry. I've went down the talk it out route for now, but I feel like its just taunting Ray at the moment!!! ;)
The Language ruling makes a lot of sense so that sounds good to me. Rolls are fine it would take a lot longer if I rolled everything. Yep the fear was true, I don't want to lose Ray yet. Yet I really want to know what that creepy feeling is coming from!!! Hmm I won't complain about the House Rule but you have definitely made me wary of using it...at least until curiosity gets the better of me.
Ray feels fear trickling down his spine and a cold sweat seeps into his clothes he screams into the forest. His nerves are raw and he does not know how much more stalking he can take. However he knows his body is weak and that he will need rest if he wishes to ever survive in the wilderness. He begins searching for any sticks, twigs or leaves that he can make a fire with. Perception Roll:
If he finds enough he will make a fire in the centre open clearing, making sure to keep it lit through the night. Also if he finds enough sticks he will light several and form a ring of lit sticks around his camp.
Also just thought about languages. Would Ray only know common or some such? Are there even any different languages to learn?
Ray sits down letting the strange feeling prickle across his skin. He studies the hairs on his arms as they rise and the goose pimples that quickly follow. It does not feel evil or threatening in the least. "Yet why can I not shake my unease." Finally after a short amount of time curiosity got the better of him, he rose and headed off in the direction of the woods. As the world gets darker he will remove a torch and risk lighting it.
Ray stands on the hill top feeling strangely free and content. He breathes deeply as the wind washes lightly over his body and through his hair before he checks that his equipment is secured and begins walking along the hill, heading towards the trees Northwest of him. He mumbles quietly to himself as he walks. "Purveyors of life? What has happened to me? Who were those... people?" He shakes off the thoughts that were troubling him "This land is beautiful, the least I can do is enjoy it." Ray continues on enjoying the morning sun, the grass springing up instantly after his light steps.
I would agree with what you initially thought, travelling would be my first choice then exploring later on once he has the lay of the land. All I did was just add the numbers into the part onto the class/level part of the alias. Just realised that I forgot to add on my +2 bonus for been Human, so I would add that to charisma if that is all right. I will wait for your go ahead before I post anything in the gameplay :)
Rayalai. Ray for short has medium length dark brown hair, his fringe is seeps down to just above his strikingly bright green eyes. Thick bristles of hair line his cheeks and jaw and yet despite his youth, specks of grey can already be seen littering the stubble. He stretches in his darkened leather armour, the muscles in his shoulders and arms clench as he deftly swings his Rapier Sword. The blade swings silently through the air and you know that he could kill you in a heartbeat. He stops moving and you can see a large crossbow and bolts strapped to a backpack aswell as a dagger concealed at the base of his spine. Description here, hope you like.
This is my alias. I will fit it out with more info when I get a chance, including the description of character. I have put key info along the top next to the name for quick reference. Saves checking on it everytime.
