Rutilus pauses for a second, trying to determine what spell was being used by the red haired lady. Failing that, he steps closer to fallen paladin, but seeing that man is almost beheaded, priest understands that Derik has passed Pharasma's door. May the Lady guides your soul. Let see if I can save others lives. Rutilus approaches Boff from behind and casts Protection from Evil on him.
"What the hell? Since when did the robbers become so stupid and desperate?" - Rutilus asks loudly, with a smirk playing on his face. Raising his holy symbol high, he steps back in between the fighter types, and performs a short incantation: "The Lady of Graves protect us all, and fill our cups with your blessings!"
Oh, I don't believe this! Not a single drop of booze since this morning, and still I'm hallucinating?!? Raising his arms, Rutilus takes a good long look at his hands. Seeing they are not blue, he finally realizes it is a real world effect. "Probably some spell, a magical protection of sort...if I could just remember which one..."
Scratching his chin, he adds absent-mindedly: "Nope, no idea what it is."
"Yep, a really nice shot" - Rutilus adds, with a bit of phony irritation in his voice. Reaching for the key, he adds: "Now, let's finish this and finally have some decent drink, shall we?"
"Too bad both this box and the scepter are just illusions. Well, at least the key is real. Now, what do we do about the trap on the steel chest?"
Finally back. Sorry for being offline for so long girls&boyz, I had some serious issues related to identity theft attempt and such, as a result of burglary. Anyway, I am on my way to Africa (where I work), I'm writing this from Frankfurt airport. I will be reading all your posts and start posting regularly from tomorrow.
Rutilus just shifts his feet uncomfortably, but says nothing. In his mind he was trying to remember what he had available that could help them deal with creature of Cheliax. As could be expected, he could not remember any. So he just stood and waited, listening intently to Paracountess responses and trying to make some sense of it all.
@Boff - feel free to drop torch on the ground. Rutilus, who is not of much use in combat can pick it up and carry it either in his off/shield hand (if allowed, not sure if he can both wield the shield and carry a torch in left hand at the same time) or simply pick it up in his main hand, instead of the simple cudgel he uses right now.
Trying to suppress giggles, Rutilus slowly makes it after Markus and Boff. Instinctively, he reaches for his spell component pouch hanging on his belt, but then remembers that he did not pray to Pharasma this morning for the appropriate incantation. He readies his shield and club slowly, while adding: "Yea Boff, if you have a torch, now's the time. You don't wanna trip and fall in the water like Derik here?"
"So let me see if I get this straight - you want us to go to the warehouse which is not yours, and to retrieve something which we have no proof that is really yours, for you? And if we get...khm, what's another word for "caught", in this endevour, our connection to Pathfinders becomes...problematic?" - Rutilus grimaces, but is aware that no amount of frowns which he make will change the fact that they were sent to this man, and they were required to assist him on behalf of the Society. "Anything else wee should know before we get there and get done with this easy task?"
"Mhm yes, you know nothing about booze..." - feeling rather sheepish, priest almost did not hear the call from Derik. A huge barbarian orc is better with kids than you are. Way to go man! No wonder she left you... Distracted, Rutilus was just about to leave when he notices how good rapport Boff managed to establish with kids simply with playing to them. Not trying to disrupt the game in any way, he simply adds: "Yes, as Boff here says, what's going on around in here?"
"It's OK Derik. If you want, I can stay out with the big guy here, we do not have to go in if the lady does not like us." - priest offers to stay outside and keep company to Boff. Anyway, I've learned more than enough - although she'd be a good partner for a night of "Where's the Bottom of Me Glass", it sure as hell is not good quality when trying to take care of a bunch of running little devils...ahem, kids
It takes one to know one, eh? - looking at Lady Baltwin, everything is almost spelled out for Rutilus. All the signs are ther, and they're almost unmistakable. Following the lead of his friends, he simply adds: "Yes, it would seem that you might use a bit of divine help." Leaning closer to Lady Baltwin, he whispers: "Believe me, I worked in the orphanage before, I know how tough these little devils can be" - patting his pocket with the hip flask clearly outlined, Rutilus adds with a wink - "Thankfully, I found a way not for them not to be to loud" The priest gives her a crooked smile, hoping his bluff will work.
I don't suppose you rangers could track down that wiskey for us if there's some inside, could you?" jokes Derik as he walks through the door and calls out to the Head Mistress, "Lady Baltwin are you in, we've been sent by Lady Ollysta Zadrian and we come bearing medicines. Prior to entering, Rutilus is quick to add: "No idea if they could track it, but my bet is that Boff could find it on scent alone, right big guy?"
Well, that went well...no Crusade for us today hehehe Moving around with the rest of the group, Rutilus considers what was learned and shared by both Derik and Eolowyn. Well, if she buys a lots of whiskey that would make her more than OK in my book. Based on that fact alone, I'd be more than willing to testify on her behalf "Now really guys, I am telling you again - it would help much more if you were to allow me to personally follow the trail of that whiskey. I mean, I agree that it would be really tough to have to visit several bars and taverns at this time, especially with such an important task at hand, but who know, I might learn something really important. I really can not retrieve any valuable information by asking random passerby's and halflings."
No, don't have her speak more of the Crusade. She will bore us to death, and I do not see any brandy within reach - trying to rectify the situation, Rutilus is quick to jump in: "As the honorable Ser Derik properly noticed, is there a specific subject or avenue of investigation you would like us to proceed? Some hints, or something more than hints maybe?" - taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Rutilus tries to determine if there is something more, something behind this unusual request coming from Ollysta. After all, if they needed to simply deliver medicines, they could have used one of many errand boys. There must be something more than this...
"No time to waste, eh elven lass?" - green eyed priest, betrayed by his obvious holy symbol, entered the room. A hint of a smile danced at the edge of his lips. He proffered his hand first to Eolowyn, and then to Derik and Marcus, and lightly patted half-orc on the right shoulder. "Rutilus Pont, in the service of our Lady of Graves" - the tall, blue clad man stated matter of factly. Outside of that, he did not speak much. He simply stood near the doorway, half-slumped, his gaze wandering slowly around the room. He studied his room-mates with interest, all the while managing to look somehow disconnected, like he was not really there. He was a tall man, good looking, with dark hair and piercing green eyes and yet he looked distant in a way, reserved, although it seemed that it was not his first time here.
Prior to posting in General Thread, I'd like to rework my cleric to be at least a bit more usable to the party, since he was originally built with the idea of channeling negative energy and bringing undead creatures to piece with Pharasma. Now, I am toying with the idea of taking Versatile channel, instead of Command undead feat, and my questions are the following: 1. If I take the Versatile Channeler feat, would Improved channel feat apply to both positive and negative energy channels? Reading the forums, I would say YES, but want to check, prior to deciding. 2. If I take the Versatile Channeler feat, would I be able to Spontaneously cast (convert) my spells to Cure spells also? Again, reading the forums, the answer seem to be NO, but... 3...if I actually understood everything correctly, I can decide for my cleric to be Positive energy channeler (so I can heal when needed by converting to heal spells), take Versatile channel and still be able to (at a later stage) take Command undead and similar feats, or hurt living creatures with my Negative energy (albeit at -2 CL). Right?
Rutilus here is a badly made cleric of Pharasma. Let me remake it quickly with positive instead of negative chanelling, change faction and I should be good to go soon. I have done First steps 1 before, but with another PFS character. I will strive to do my best not to spoil any fun for any of the involved if choosen for the game.
For the fourth consecutive turn in a row, Rutilus continues to scrape the goo off of him, but mid-turn he changes his mind. He notices that the foul substance is becoming harder each second, and soon enough, he should be able to break free of it. He exerts himself, using all his strength, trying to break off.
Shaking his head and showing obvious displeasure, Rutilus squints at Eekie. He considers responding to Travis, but chooses not to. Instead, he simply grips his shield tighter and goes towards remaining dog, trying to hit him on the head. No worries little one, this will not hurt them a bit. I will just send them to sleep...in Lady's embrace
