Half chokes on the stench as she braces and scowls at the stinking critters before them. just had to show your stinking faces to me didn't ya? she shouts why don't ya take it back the the bog that spawned ya you stinkers! she shouts as she fires off a magic missile and draws her blade growling softly, still bothered greatly by the stench.
UlSkadi lightly scratches at the underfur of her neck listening to her companions smiling softly as they question and pry about the tower, she is even impressed at the new armament that Todd has acquired giving him a small thumbs up quietly to tell him he's looking good. Are there any historical records we may peruse about the history of the battles had in those towers prior to them being sealed? I am interested in anything referencing their defenses magical and mundane before we set out. after all we would do best not to stumble into any lingering or degraded magical or mundane traps lingering for those who may later try to storm the abandoned tower, or at least may have been over looked among those disarmed and removed.
after a bit of silence aside from that a penny of prevention is a pound of safety
UlSkadi sits in a back corner of the Pig's Paunch studying from her spellbook seeing what further insight she may find and derive from way the energies flow and call to her only half minding her companions in their celebratory boasts, brags and drinking. that was so close have to keep a better eye on avoiding those blades next time after a few hours of study she makes a detailed letter about the rituals and sends a report to her contacts with the Dark Archive so that the rituals might be shared in with more of the younger members, or monitored by older members of the Archive.
UlSkadi moves out of the mouth of the cave and rushes out to examine the scene taking stock of the scene ready to act, but unable to reach close enough to do more at this time. hey cow-boy what do you think your doin! she shouts hoping to give Janira time to recover a bit while distracting the Minotaur.
UlSkadi continues a vigil behind them keeping an eye out on the off chance the Minotaur returns before their fearless leader. perhaps we ought to keep those in trust she motions towards the scattered pack contents, on the off chance we are not in need of them and she will be when she returns? of course nothing stopping us if need demands we dig in... she adds with a mercenary glint in her eye.
if I added rolls correct:
Ponders her limited knowledge of the area and turns in part to Todd in part to Janira, "do you think we will have any issues with the Low Azlanti? I don't remember how active they are in that central area around the base of the mountain... didn't say much about them in those dusty tomes I prefer," she adds at the end with a shrug. "also might I aquire an extra couple days rations? never hurts to plan ahead." if i am incorrect in the addition of int mod: Ponders a moment or two trying to recall anything of importance about the fauna of the area, "what kinds of creatures are we likely to encounter around the path? anything special predators to take precautions against being spotted on the way so we may make a faster way there?", then as if remembering another thing, "might I aquire another day or two rations? never hurts to be extra prepared... got stuck in a forest once could have used the extra rations that trip."
hey all apologizes for taking so long. I have been busy and the death of my Grandpa hit hard. So I admit I was quite distracted, I finally finished my character and got the computer to stop fighting me...... and before midnight!: Eilistraee Silvertongued

Her brother was left to care for her as an infant. When she reached five He found she carried a recessive gene to a far off great grandparent that was seen as a cursed black sheep. She could seen in the dark as easily as the light, even in the dim of morning easily enough. Her Xenophobic brother felt she muddied the bloodline and promptly dumped her at an Arcane school and left a sum of money to ‘sell’ her as a slave test subject or whatever else they could use her as, once free of his sister he seemed to disappear from her life. She spent some time there not quite a slave but not quite a student. She learned from one of the elderly Teachers while working in the Tower as needed to earn her keep. Around 34 one of her ‘classmates’, whom she has recently shown up in the practice area, places a failed mutagen into her meal; after adding a few additions. Upon eating dinner that night she gain yet another mutation in her genes. She permanently has a slight increase in her height and her hands are almost noticeably larger than normal, she found later on she could wield a size class larger in weaponry. Her first understanding of this was when her Teacher took her to an area where they battled with a ‘Rouge’ Giant wandering far from home lost and confused and hungry attacked killing her Teacher, while the Giant knelt to eat she grabbed the dropped weapon and dealt the finishing blow to the Giant with his own club. She roamed free the next year until she met with her Mentor, Raizlan. He took her in and taught her his trade that of the Magus. One day she woke thirty years later to find Raizlan missing his basic gear still about the room and only a note saying it was his time and he left his things to her. She never found him or his remains however she still looks to see if perchance he may have a gravesite. Despite checking each graveyard as she travels and trains she has yet to find one he meant much to her and she hopes to at least say it to his resting place since it is unlikely he still lives. She has spent her time traveling and training with various Masters in the art of swordplay and magic learning what she can. When she was 106 she settled into the town of Trunau offering her aid to the humans and doing her best to protect her home for the last five years as she has become a respectable member of the society there despite her differences that caused her to be shunned amongst her own people.
Ulskadi listens and shrugs as her turn comes up,"My reasons were I wished to go explore the world and delve in to the Mysteries of Magic. My sister Almut joined the Dark Archive and Pathfinders a couple years back so I figured what better place to better understand Magic while I study Swordplay.[b]" She also takes stock of her current provisions and looks back up, "[b]I think I may need to add some additional rations as well."
finally finished her details and sheet. putting up a character for her in a few. Deria Burfoot

Deria grew up having heard tales of how it was a burfoot who saved Kyrin from destruction during the war of the dragons. While she doesn’t believe it partly another part of her has decided she must live up to her parents name… just incase its true she’s been wandering and ‘finding’ ‘missing’ items for the past 5 years and trying to place the items in the ‘correct’ home. Thankfully its helped her place many a key in the right jail cell key, just not her in the right adventure. However she has a good feeling about this current adventure, (at least this one doesn’t have a irate jailor yelling at her from the other side of the bars…..yet). she currently journeys with her simple leather armor, Sashik, a couple days of rations, her trusty Polpak (that thing had gotten her into and out of so many things), her Hoopak in hand, Whippik about her waist and pouches with a few misc items that ‘found’ their way into there from the last town. OH and of course the key those irate jailors are likely looking for. Should have really left those behind….. have to turn those over to the nearest official type person I see. Weapon Details: Whippik: 1lbs 5 stl The whippik (whip-bow) is a foot-long wooden haft that ends in a length of looped catgut or braided leather. The whippik can be used in a whip-like motion to hurl darts with greater force and range than is otherwise possible. The whippik has a range of ten range increments, as is normal for a projectile weapon. The whippik is also treated as a whip with a 5-foot reach. Weapon Familiarity: Kender. Sashik: 3lbs 18stl A sashik is a weighted rope-sash worn by some kender. One end of the sashik holds the kender’s pouches and can be swung like a weighted sash. Two dozen wooden beads are strung into the sashik and act similar to two sets of caltrops, with one exception: if the beads succeed on the attack, the target takes no damage but must make a DC 12 Balance check or be knocked prone (DC 17 if the target was charging or running). Function: A sashik attacks as a weighted sash of equivalent size (Small for kender). If you are proficient in the weighted sash, you are also proficient in the sashik. Polpak: 14lbs 28stl The polpak is an 8-foot long pole that ends in a short saw-toothed blade. Iron rings circle the pole and can aid in climbing, and a set of caltrops is tied to the polpak’s crosspiece for deterring angry guards and shopkeepers. The blade can saw through wood or leather or can be played like an instrument. A catch on the polpak releases the blade for use as a shortsword, or allows the pole to be swung about like a quarterstaff. Function: A polpak attacks as a longspear, quarterstaff, or shortsword of equivalent size (Small for kender). Weapon Familiarity: Kender. Hoopak: 8lbs 21stl The hoopak is probably the most well known of the kender weapons. It is typically a 3-foot staff made of hard yet supple wood that is forked at one end and has a metal tip at the other. The metal tip can be sharpened and the hoopak can be thrown like a shortspear. The hoopak can also be stuck into the ground so that missiles can be fired from the forked end like a slingshot. It can also be twirled over the head like a sling to launch sling bullets or stones, or it may be used as a traditional sling staff. A hoopak can be used as a double weapon, making one attack with the quarterstaff function and the other as a shortspear. Occasionally this type of weapon can be hollowed out to hold useful objects, like silk rope or stones for ammunition. As a tool the hoopak can be used to help a kender gather fruit from the lower branches of trees, like an apple picker. As a musical instrument the hoopak can be swung in a circle to emit a low bullroar. Function: A hoopak attacks as a quarterstaff, shortspear, or sling (bullets required) of equivalent size (Small for kender). Weapon Familiarity: Kender
UlSkadi Smiles as she ponders if she has made a missteped somehow in her introductions and assumptions once again, her mentor had warned her they would be different out here
She attempts to size up Cerryl and Grey unsure of where she will settle in the group with them while she eats and sits back relaxing a bit. turning to Lovissa she replies,"With my blade and spell if they last the first barrage of spells my sword should finish them up, at least that's how I was trained to deal with enemies."
looks mildly perturbed and positions herself on the far side of the table from the Half-Orc who she felt was trying to flirt best to shut them down quickly she thought and had always when men tried such tactics. Greetings Val'Mor I am Rei UlSkadi, please call me Ulskadi. She Adjusts her sword belt the looks to the female on Rykaar's right What might your name be Beautiful?
Ulskadi prefers the middle front.... at least one preferably two in front of her, that way she can fire off a spell or two before her sword is required to come into play and has cleared the way for others by the time nasties have arrived....... at least when she's in a group... its been a while for her.
The doors of the Pigs Paunch open and in walks a half fox half humanoid black fur covering her body with the exception of a white underbelly, looking a bit confused as she steps inside blinking quietly as she looks about, one hand defensively on her sword hilt and robes held close about her.
After speaking with Janira and ordering eggs and toast she makes her way to the Southwest table as suggested to meet the others gathered and inclines her head to greet the others, "Greetings Fellows are you responding to the summons as well?" |
