Richard Ashendale's page

Thanks for running that :-)

"It was... certainly an interesting experience; a facsimile of an echo of a memory of what happened, long ago..."

Richard keeps fleeing.

Richard runs off the map.

Richard hustles forward to engage Yellow.

Double move.

With a shrug, Richard tries to carve-up the stunned canine.

Kinetic Blade: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23, for 2d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 1 + 2 = 12 Fire damage.

Richard moves forward, and throws a blast of flame at Green.

Kinetic Blast: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 = 10, for 2d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 1 + 2 = 7 Fire damage.

Richard looks down, both surprised and bemused to discover that he is now, apparently, a heavily-muscled Half-Elven female, clad in sturdy hide armour, and bedecked with beads and feathers.

He then concentrates, manifesting a blade of flame in his hands, before nodding in satisfaction.

"Well, at least my ability to do that remains unchanged..."

Taking Idina.

Richard happily sorts through the equipment, perfectly prepared to harvest what useful things he can from the goblins (although the gear should probably be cleaned before use).

When he touches one of the tablets, he starts as sees the vision.

"Huh. That was unexpected..."

"Tis but a flesh wound..."

Richard barely acknowledges the blow, and takes a swing of his own.

Kinetic Blade: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25, for 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5) + 1 = 7 Fire damage.

Richard moves forward, and throws a blast of fire at Green.

Kinetic Blast(Touch): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15, for 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5) + 1 = 12 Fire damage.

According to the map, Red is down, and Yellow is still up?

EDIT: Ah, right. I see. Well, as far as I am concerned, the Wall is there, so I can't see the final Goblin, so I guess... I do nothing?

Richard steps across, and takes a swing at Yellow!

Kinetic Blade: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19, for 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4) + 1 = 7 Fire damage.

Richard hurries forward.

Double move.

Richard rushes back to the rest of the party.

Double move. Unfortunately, that is what I will have to do next round, as well...

Richard searches the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21.

It looks like a tent, and a pile of furs...? That is why I headed that direction... It is the only 'different' thing in the room.

Ricahrd moves forward, to investigate.

Double move.

Richard moves forward.

Double move.

Richard shrugs.

"I'm Richard Ashendale. Pleased to meet you. In terms of tales, well, there was the time I helped explore a Goblin-infested Azlanti ruin, culminating in a tower-top fight with a Bugbear; or the time I went to Cheliax to preserve the truth of history, very much against the wishes of the ruling government..."

Richard raises an eyebrow, then smiles mirthlessly.

"In my experience, when someone tells me that a mission is 'simple and straightforward, it is usually anything butthat..."

He then looks thoughtful.

"Can anyone here *not* see in the dark? If so, did you bring a light source with you...?"

Richard shrugs.

"A bunch of mobile, exploding pumpkins, to start with. Then a Huldra, who called herself the 'Crocus Kinght'."

Richard nods in satisfaction.

"See? I told you that you were on top of things..."

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30.

Looking over at the mill, Richard raises an eyebrow, then smiles.

"Hello there! Why don't you come out of the shadows - I won't bite (unless you ask me to, that is..)"

Richard shrugs.

"They are practically immune to fire, and that is all I do, unless you want me to punch one. In any case, the rest of you seem to be doing quite well against them."

Richard continues to watch.

Richard moves over to a tree, and calmly leans against it.

Richard nods, and tries to bake one of the pumpkins.

Kinetic Blast: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 = 21, for 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 1 = 8 Fire damage.

I, the player, am aware that that will not work, but Richard sure as heck isn't ;-)

As the Druid talks about maintaining the wall, Richard nods approvingly.

"As a professional gardener myself, I understand the importance of good plant care..."

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18.

Richard does his best to navigate through the thick forest.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30.

Later on, he frowns.

"What is that figure sticking out of the tree over there?"

Richard looks around for something that seems out of place.

Perception(Aid): 1d20 + 13 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 3 + 2 = 15.

Working on the assumption that I take the full -3 penalty for an incorrect skill.

Knowledge(Planes): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30.

Richard raises a placating hand.

Round 1 - Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26.

"Calm yourself, little one; we mean you no harm."

Round 2 - Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29.

"You really should stop that - after all, aren't you supposed to guarding these items, rather than damaging them by throwing them at us?"

Round 3 - Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25.

Richard narrows his eyes.

"If we truly meant you (or your charges) harm, we would have engaged in fisticuffs by now. Please, stand down! Otherwise, we will be forced to defend ourselves..."

Richard listens, thoughtfully, his face a complex mix of emotions.

"So, the Decemvirate of old were just as corrupt and self-aggrandising as people sometimes suspect the current batch of being..."

Richard frowns, then moves forward, and tosses another gout of flame, this time at Blue.

Kinetic Blast(Fire): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26, for 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + 1 = 9 Fire damage.

Sorry, for some reason, this thread isn't showing up on my 'Campaigns' list, and I can't post with Victor's alias.

I am trying a different PC-alias...

Richard stalks over, and fires a blast of flame at the Yellow swarm.

Kinetic Blast(Fire): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20, for 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 1 = 7 Fire damage.

EDIT: Still not showing up in my 'Campaign' page, but at least I can post...

Dotting for fun and profit.

Profession(Gardener): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20.

PM Sent.

No Day Job.

Any chance of continuing? ;-)

Richard hustles forward, and takes a swing at one of the zombie goblins (the one that just hurt Tenerek)!

Greatsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19, for 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 = 19 damage.

"Stay dead, this time!"

Well, based on the map, it looks like we are in a spiral staircase...

Richard wrinkles his nose in disgust.

"The only thing worse than a live goblin, is an undead one!"

With the way opened, Richard eagerly hustles forward, and takes a swing at the bugbear!

Greatsword: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 26, for 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 9 + 2 = 18 damage.

Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 25, for 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 9 + 2 = 13 *ADDITIONAL* damage.

"Works for me!"

Richard steps back (since he had a move action left), and lets Sjonegaard have a crack at the door.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14, for 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 5) + 9 = 15 damage.

Richard continues to hack away at the door, carving another great chunk out of it.

"Does anyone else want to take a crack at the door with me?"

We can tag-team each round, if necessary. Alternately, I can just keep on hacking.

Richard makes a hefty swing at the door.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17, for 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 1) + 9 = 16 damage.

"Lads, the door is locked... if it was simply a matter of opening it, I would have done it already...

"That's a good start, but does anyone have a *bigger* shield?"

"Anyone got a shield we can use to block that arrow slit?"

Nodding to Eladrian, Richard cautiously heads up the staircase, checking for traps as he goes.

"Well lads, shall we head upstairs?"

Richard grins widely as Sjonegaard squashes a goblin.

"That's the spirit!"

He then tries to finish-off the remaining goblin.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 18, for 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 + 2 = 21 damage.

AoO: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 20, for 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 9 + 2 = 16 damage.

As the flailing goblin weakly attempts to back away, Richard chops him in half.

He then tips a wink at Torrag.

"Good show with that acid cloud!"

He winces as an arrow finds its mark, but resolutely hustles forward once the cloud dissipates, closing with the goblins.

Unfortunately, it takes a double move to do so.
