Roksana 'Rok' Jedynak's page

"Well, that's unexpected...." Rok says looking at where the bear-turned-man had been. "Is there some sort of religious context I'm missing here?"

She moves to inspect the temple, taking care to make sure there aren't any more weird werebears around.

When she's satisfied the temple is clear she looks to the others.
"These woods get weirder every day, ready to see more?"

Composite Bow): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Rok looses an arrow at the bear but doesn't direct Kasper to move.

"Stay close so we can assist each other. It's fast, we won't be able to rely on just bows for much longer."

Rok stays on Kasper and circles around the party and trots a little ways into the temple, keeping her bow up and ready to fire.

"Keep an ear out, eh boy?"

She whispers to the horse.

"This is why you never work alone." Rok says. "We should let the river take him now." She looks reverently at the body of water for a moment before turning to Darian and looking at the ropes.

"My first guess would be those little fey creatures, but they didn't seem like killing was their type of fun. I wonder if there's anything else in the area."

Rok searches the site for any more clues that they may find, using her knowledge of the wilderness to inspect everything.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Rok laughs as she throws her hands up, conceding the bout to Kesten.

"Alright, alright!" She says breathlessly as she accepts his hand up. "Well fought! Good to know we're leaving the town in good hands when we head out."

She brushes off her Blue Dogs tabard and pats Kasper to calm him down, the horse nickering angrily. "Your boys could learn a thing or two though, think I knocked a tooth out, fell somewhere over there!"

She spends a few more minutes talking shop with Kesten before turning in for the day. When her companions are ready to head out, so is she, ever eager to chart the wilderness.

Rok spends the time back at Olegs looking for anyone to spar with, and helping groom and train the party horses.
Random Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 17

While the others talk about a potential temple in the wood, and Darian sets out his plan she nods appreciatively.

"Erastil isn't my god, but having a place of worship nearby might ease people's minds until we finish clearing out the bandit threat."

"Giving a little stability to the locals might help our reformed bandits too, so it seems to be in everyone's best interest. I like this plan Darian, you've got a talent for efficiency. Good work." She pats the bard on his shoulder and smiles.

"Once we get our rations, I'm good to go. Never fought a bear though, except that owl-shaped one from the other day. All I know is that they're large and faster than they look, when we near it's territory everyone should keep their eyes peeled."

Rok will just convert her 17gp from above into Trail Rations and Feed as well. If needed she can forage as well, if we get stuck out longer than expected.

"Lisl, you have a sense of humor?" Rok asks with a sly smile as she slaps the cleric on the back good-naturedly. She waves goodbye to the fey, having not spoken too much so as not to give them any opportunity to prank her.

"Darian is right, as much as I'd like to explore more, clearing these traps is for the good of anyone else that might come through. Plus, if we're going to give Ludi and Katrina a shot at a new life, they need to be given the opportunity to start it, instead of being dragged through the wilderness."

"So lets clear these traps, resupply at Oleg's and head back out post haste."

"Well, I don't have anything shiny for our fey friend, any of you?" Rok asks with a shrug. "If the worst we have to deal with is stolen knickers and the occasional pinched ass, I'm fine leaving it be." She looks to her companions, wondering if the rest of them are relaxed enough to let the fey pull more pranks.

GM, I noticed Kasper does not get his perception rolled with the rest of us when you roll them. His perception is +7 and he has lowlight vision, which may come in handy later.

"If they can pinch me through the armor and the saddle sores, I'll consider that an accomplishment!" Rok says laughing as Jory and Lisl continue their discussion.

Not seeing anyone looking particularly pleased at a prank, Rok scans the camp looking for anything else that might have causes the misunderstanding.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"I plan on running a mercenary company. Who knows, maybe I'll hire on these two if they can prove they aren't too much trouble." Rok says from a top Kasper as they travel. She listens in as Isabel interacts with Ludi and Katrina, sometimes offering a quib or her opinion on the conversation.

When they discover the gold mine she whistles approvingly. "Maybe we'll get a bonus for finding this, or maybe some steady income once it's up and running. Wouldn't that be nice."

"Living out in the woods sounds nice Freya. Might be a nice way to retire when I'm too old to swing my hammer anymore." Rok nods smiling at the other woman and listens to the others plans as they continue with their planned exploration.

"If we take them with us we'll need to keep an eye on them. Make sure they don't run off with the horses. I can have Kasper watch them, but that leaves me less mobile if we get into a fight." Rok says weighing the options.

"But it feels too early to go back to Oleg's. I don't want to travel back so soon."

"Daggermark." Rok answers Isabel. "We've got the Assassin's Guild and the Poisoners Guild, so everyone thinks we're a lawless bunch, but you'd be surprised. The assassin's in particular have got rules and regulations on just about anything that involves killing someone else." She frowns a little.

"Now that I think of it, seems those of us from the River Kingdoms get a bad reputation no matter which city we're from. Kind of why I took this job, wanted to work somewhere that my reputation and where I'm from didn't mean much."

She smiles at Isabel.

"How are you liking the frontier so far?"

"These men are bandits that took a job." Rok says with a bit of an eye roll. "I grew up in the city of assassins, and I can tell you these aren't professionals. The rest of the bandits we fought would also have gladly killed us given the chance, and likely had killed before as well. These men are no different then the others we've encountered,"

I'd assumed we zone of truthed them up to this point, like we did every other time, did we not? I thought we only let people go that passed that test, so if they passed it I see no reason to kill them, and if they didn't we'd have killed them already.

"well, in the mean time we should keep an eye out for any more would-be assassins." Rog says with a grunt after Jory. "It will take a while for our employers to hear of this, so we shouldn't expect a quick resolution."

She hauls herself back atop Kasper and waits for the bandits to run off before getting ready to continue their exploration.

With the bandits tied and the interrogation started, Rok takes her place beside Darian, looking angry and holding her warhammer at the ready, so they know they need to answer honestly.

Warhammer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 121d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Knowing Isabel has the two nearest bandits charmed, Rok pushes Kasper toward the rest of their enemies and joins Fenrir and Freya in their fight, swinging her warhammer down on teal.
Double move for Kasper

"Thanks Jory!" Rok says as she directs Kasper into the bandits so she can attack more directly. She drops her bow as she leaves her allies behind and swings her warhammer at the bandit in yellow.

Warhammer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 151d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Kasper-Hoof 1: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 151d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Kasper-Hoof 2: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 161d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Holiday has me a bit busy, headed home tonight and will posts when I get in, sorry for the delay

Wordlessly, Roksana directs Kasper to run in front of the rest of the party, stopping just a few feet in front of Joey to help protect her friends and she draws her bow before firing it on the bandit in Red.

Longbow, Composite +2Str: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 171d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Can't move my tokens on mobile, Kasper and Tom should be a little in front of Jory.

Seeing Freya react faster to the mystery object, Rok waits nearby wondering what she's going to dig up.

"I wonder who goes around burying goods under the trees. Seems like a weird way to hide your stuff."

Rok lets the couple wander off and handle their business while looking at the rest and considering Isabel's addition to her plan for the next scouting operation.

"I'm with Isabel, if by the time we reach this point Hex 3, we're still alright and don't need to stop at Olegs, then looping around here makes sense. 2,1,7,8 So we should pack and prepare as though we're going to be gone that long if we can, but we can turn back for home at any point, let's remember not to push ourselves too hard. We've got a lot of land to cover, it's going to take some time to get through."

She begins packing Kasper and makes sure she's got her bearings right for starting their next loop.
Hx 18

Roks chain shirt sale can be split, half for her, half to the party fund.

"Yeah, I'm with Freya, how long until we get back out there and explore more?" Rok says with a smile. "Not that I don't enjoy relaxing every now and then, but we've got orders after all."

She pockets her share of the gold and wonders what she'll do with it while planning their next move.

"Are we still pushing for the river, or should we just keep spiraling out from Oleg's here?" She points on the map to what she's considering and listens for any input. "Also, anyone want my old chain shirt? If not I'm giving it to Oleg to sell."
18,17,16,9,3?

I'm good with the 50gp in the group fund. Personally I hate traking group funds and loot, so I'd prefer not to be the one with that responsibility.

With a series of whistles, Rok gets Kasper to move opposite Fenrir for a more advantageous position but she stays in her spot next to the rest of the group and scores a lucky hit, her hammer crunching into the owlbears side.

"What the hell is this thing anyway?" She shouts as Kasper knocks two hooves into the beast as well.

Warhammer+Bless+Magic Weapon+Inspire: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 261d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Kasper-Hoof 2, flank + precise strike+bless+inspire: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 181d4 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (6) = 11

Edit: Confirm Warhammer Crit: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 162d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 6 = 15

Edit 2: ninja'd by GM

With the owlbear dead Roksana smiles broadly at her friends and helps collect the rest of the moonradishes.

"That went real well, thing never had a chance! Good job everyone! Anyone ready to get back to Oleg, or are we still good for a little more ranging?" It's clear the Rok wants to keep going but she knows the whole party isn't exactly used to the wilderness or excitement like this.

Rok has Kasper move into a more advantageous position, then both of them ready an attack on the owlbear if/when it comes between them.

Readied attacks
Warhammer+Flank+Precise Strike+Bless: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 101d8 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (4) = 11

Kasper-Hoof 1, flank + precise strike+bless: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 191d4 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (2) = 7

"Alright everyone, stay behind me!" Rok says when she hears the sound. She dismounts from Kasper but has him follow her toward the noise, providing something of a wall between it and her friends.

"If it's hostile, flank it, I'll shout out any openings if I see them."

Rok will wait one more round, then use a standard action to provide everyone Precise Strike for 4 rounds.

"I love a good stew!" Rok says smiling. "We should mark this place on our map, we might have a sustainable source of moon radishes if we're lucky. If Svetlana is really looking for them I'm sure she'd like to know where they come from too."

No worries, I appreciate the heads up!

"Let's get to it!" Rok smiles as she mounts Kasper and gets ready to move on.

"I wouldn't mind that chain shirt unless someone else wants it. Never really liked swords though, nothing beats a good crunch when you hit your foes armor in the right spot!" Rok laughs, trying to forget how close to her face the spider just was.

Also good to move on.

"I think I'm the best bet to lure it out, but stay close by." Rok says with a frown. "I don't mind ordinary spiders, but I don't like any bug big enough to wrestle with."

Cautiously she steps forward, moving only a little at a time, and keeping her weapon held high.

Mechanically, only taking 1 move action per turn and readying a melee attack if the spider lunges.

Readied Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 241d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Roksana swings her hammer down on the boggard in front of her hoping to finish it off. If she knocks it or or kills it, she starts to cross the river to make sure the on that dived into the water is not coming back.

Warhammer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 271d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7

AoO

Rok tries to take advantage of the boggards open defenses but she wifs and nearly falls into the bog.

Warhammer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 91d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

"Keep it up everyone! We'll have them all beat back i no time!"

Roks hardly seems to notice the wound she took as she swings toward the red tinged boggard with her hammer.

Warhammer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 161d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

"Isabel get back! We'll keep these bastards occupied!" Roks shouts as she rushes into the fray. "Get to Kasper, he'll defend you!"

Even as she shouts her commands she brings her weapon down on the boggard in front of her fallen friend.

Attack+Bless/Courage: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 161d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13

Kasper nickers angrily as the wolf appears to Freya, but Roksana keeps him calm so he doesn't panic the other horses as well. "Relax, she knows what she's doing." I Hope. She thinks to herself as the woman hands her food to the beast.

She raises an eyebrow as Freya names the canine and welcomes it into the fold, almost too casually to make any sense, but when she considers her own relationship with Kasper, she shrugs it off and smiles at Fenrir.

"You can help us hunt, and maybe sniff out any bandits we need to get, yeah?"

Just a few days later, the wolf proves her right by sensing something in the air. Roks instantly begins looking for any tracks or signs of travel nearby that might clue her in to why Fenrir is suddenly on edge.
Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Been a busy couple days sorry I haven't updated. I'll catch up and update sometime tonight.

"In a merc band you'd be given a title by now for sure." Rok says thoughtfully. "Darian the Redeemer perhaps, or Darian the Headsman depending on how those bandits work out."

She smiles at the idea, and looks a bit wistful. "For a bunch of cut throats and braggarts, mercenaries can be a poetic lot, and love a person with conviction. You've got that in droves Darian. We'll find a new name for you yet."

Survival-Hunt: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Roksana aids in hunting down the Elk, though she makes sure the party does not take more than they need to feed themselves for a few days. She helps prepare it and cook it that evening as Darian becomes introspective.

"Well, what better time to reinvent yourself then out here in the wild, right?" Roksana says to the bard, sympathizing. "I was just an orphan girl in the city of assassins not so long ago. Decided to give that up and pick up a few weapons, joined the military and got tired of that too. It's everyone's right to rebuild their life, and if you're going to make a new name, might as well be around a bunch of people that don't care about your old one either."

"You'll always find me agreeable to following the River." Rok says with a smile as they forumalte their travel plans.

When Isabel and Darian address the potentially reformed captives the cavalier stands nearby, with Kasper leaning on her shoulder.

"Who knows, if any of you impress me I may hire you on to my own mercenary band one day. You've got to put in the work first though, and this is the best deal you'll get that isn't a noose."

Agreed on the group loot divy and redeeming captives.

I'll go with the group on exploration but I do have some:

Roks assists in tying the Bandits up, wanting to make sure they don't go scurrying off. She lets Darian take care of them, as the man seems to have a fire under him about justice and bringing people to it. It's a motivation she respects, while she stands beside him, arms crossed and scowling.

"You'd best do as he says." She says threateningly. "Not all of our companions are as eager to spare you."

Side note: Starting tomorrow afternoon I will be MIA until Monday afternoon as I'm getting married this weekend. Feel free to bot Roksana and Kasper if needed. Roks follows the river freedoms listed in her profile and does her best to protect her companions no matter the cost.

Checking in. Am waiting to act until I know the results of Darian's AoO

Rok spurs Kasper into a quick run to get behind the bandit leader, passing Lisl and her foe in the process I believe I provoke light blue to get to red in 1 move

"Yahh!" Roksana shouts as she spurs Kasper into motion. The horse rushes toward the camp, and into one of the bandits.

Alright, well I need to use a standard action to give everyone the precise strike, but since Darian is already in the middle of the camp I'm going to give that up. I'll have my action post up in an hour or so when I can get home and look at the map on a larger screen.

So the signal is to let us know the sentries are taken out, but I assume the rest of us won't be close by until that happens.

Should we assume it'll take a round or two to get into place and that we have time to prep some buffs?
