Seldiir Elberion's page

Yeah, I’m happy with that.

Hopefully things will improve for Evil Minion.

I learned something new about all this. Thank you for correcting me.

I went back and thought about all the characters I've played since starting in D&D in the 1970's. I can't think of a single one that used a spellbook. Certainly not in Pathfinder & PFS. Huh. Thanks.

I started with 2nd edition but I never played a wizard (or anyone else with a spell book) until Pathfinder.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with rangers. I just wanted to play one of Strider’s mysterious allies (and actually did when my best friend got the LotR role playing game).

My wizard has a blessed book (which, in my head, is still Bocob’s Blessed Book) and has yet to play with another wizard or face down a wizard in a scenario.
It would be great to get a load of free spells.

It's in the arcane magical writing section of the rules.

Arcane Magical Writing

In most cases, wizards charge a fee for the privilege of copying spells from their spellbooks. This fee is usually equal to half the cost to write the spell into a spellbook...

Hey, guys! I've changed my mind. Can we go back and replay the ending to collect that treasure?

Guys!

Guys?

guys...

Not really.That is quite a cool boon but Seldiir needs to spend all of his downtime looking after his Borderland Keep anyway, so he couldn't actually use it.

Oh, Soddy. I just remembered that Seldiir has been wearing a leshy token this whole time.

That's a shame. RP chance missed!

Seldiir shakes Elbesamiya by the hand, "I know what you mean. It's a rare pleasure to operate without bloodshed." He smiles at the rest of the party, "And to watch you all do your work. Extraordinary stuff."

Yes, great GMing, Nomadical.

Seldiir has the Borderland Keep property from Fangwood Keep.

He recovers one spent PP (which does not improve his fame) instead of a day job check.

I really enjoyed that. Even though Seldiir could not contribute much.

Cheers!

Yeah, I would suggest that we just go straight past the gardener's cottage and keep on riding. Emilio can have a lift on Beaky if needs be.

Seldiir steps outside, "I'll get Beaky then, bring the plants along." He hustles over to the stableyard and gives a sharp whistle, to which Beaky instantly responds.

Okay then.

Seldiir steps in front of Emilio, "We don't have orders to f@%@ around. You want to die finding out how she'd like to kill you? Come back later. Let's get out of here."

He looks to the others, "Make this bozo invisible and lets get out of here before that bodyguards shows up and starts ripping heads off."

Sorry if I'm being too forceful here but Seldiir is a law-enforcer by training. This kind of action puts him on edge.

Someone needs to explain to this guy that giving these notes to Torch just means Torch will be the one who drags him to Varisia and cuts his throat.

Seldiir shrugs, outvoted, i suppose.

Seldiir calls back from his post, watching at the front door, "Whatever you're going to do, do it fast. We should be out of here before anyone gets home. Now vamoose!"

Seldiir pokes his head out of the front door, to see if anyone is coming.
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Seldiir nods, ”Nice plan: cover our tracks, lock the door, let it look like Sammi-Sue stole the biscuits, disappear our guy.”Seldiir nods and returns to the hallway, ”We should have brought a wagon. Good place to hide someone, a wagon.”

Oh dear, best wishes for mild symptoms and a swift recovery.

Seldiir mutters to himself, "Oh, Bucsa here has a whole load of people looking to spring him does he? Doesn't need the big GT to send anyone after him..." and stalks off.

Not rolling, just setting things up for a talker. Let's call that an aid another attempt.
bluff: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Hearing a cry, Seldiir heads into the cellar.
Taking ten on survival.

"That's fermentation gas. That fills up in here and you've got about half a minute until-"

As Tabar disables the device, he shrugs, "Never mind, let's get out of here, Torch will be pleased."

The ranger turns to leave, then pauses a second, "Hey." he narrows his eyes and looks at the chained man, "What's your name?"

Seldiir has remained in the hall, poking around, but when Tabar mentions stairs he snaps his finger, "See, under the ground. That's where you find prisoners."

Seldiir lets the stealthy go ahead, ”Look out for trapdoors. Prisoners usually seem to end up underground.”

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

He begins looking under rugs and behind furniture and wall-hangings.

Seldiir smiles, ”Well, I’d best stay on his good side then, if I bump into him. Cheers!”

The ranger heads back toward the house, ”See you later.”

Once back with the others, Seldiir explains, ”If we have to tangle with the last of the house, she’s got a bodyguard who scares the pants off the stable lad. Seems liked he trained in hand-to-hand out in Tian Xia.”

Seldiir smiles at the boy, "You take good care of her," he dips into his pouch and flips a silver coin to the stable lad, "She's sweet but she's battle-trained: don't go making any sudden noises or throw anything her way."

As the boy describes Balan, Seldiir stops in his tracks, "Really? That's incredible! What is he, some kind of giant?"

Thank you, Nomadical.

Was I shown to the stables? What does Seldiir see there?

Seldiir heads back outside, "You heard the majorodomo: lead me to the stables."

I'm in! If only Seldiir was sneaky...

EvilMinion has not posted in our shared games for a week.

IRL happens to all of us sometimes.

For me, it had been Monday for 46 minutes when you posted...

I'm in three active games with Evil Minion.

They posted in one of Friday and the other on Monday, so they've been active on the site. Perhaps they're not getting updates showing on their campaign page for this game?

Seldiir leads Beaky inside, "Don't worry, she's good with houses."

As Dale speaks to the majordomo, Seldiir checks the bags of plants that Beaky is carrying.

Seldiir sees to Beaky, placing himself in a menial/guard role as well.

knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Seldiir snatched the plants from Dale’s hands, ”Not those. Not round here. And that one will give you a rash...”
The ranger suggests better plant options.
”Beaky can carry these, sure.”

Seldiir comes with a hippogriff. It’s a big ask for someone with a +0 in disguise to make a hippogriff look like something else.

When they leave, Seldiir introduces Dale, and the rest of the group, to Beaky. Beaky is a hippogriff, clad in mithral chain barding, saddled and with a glowing amulet around her neck.
At a word, she kneels so that the ranger can mount, "She won't fly with me yet but we're working on it."

Seldiir nods thoughtfully, ”We should scope the place out first. Figure out the guard patrols and their timetables, identify weak points, see who goes in and out...”

Seldiir takes the steak outside and returns just after with an empty plate.

Rejoining the group as the conversation continues, he interjects, ”Man, Torch will be pissed if we can’t find this guy.”

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Seldiir raises an eyebrow but says nothing.

Instead he addresses the barkeep again, "You're largest steak then, please: rare."

He then responds to Dale, "I'll introduce you to her soon enough. She's good with people, mostly."

Seldiir nods to the barkeep, "Well, there's a hungry hippogriff outside that could do with feeding, but otherwise this looks great."

He leans back on his chair, "sometimes there are perks to working for the big GT." and takes a sip of his whisky.

Seldiir looks around the table, and around the room. He grins as he gulps down a strip of prosciutto, This is amazing. This is ridiculous. Who even are those people in white?

Seldiir gives Sammi-Sue a thumbs-up then nods to the barkeeper, "Rum for me and something fizzy," he glances back at the little girl, "Sherbert-level fizzy, if you can, for the little one."

Then he slaps his hands together, "Cold-cuts. Nice!" the ranger heads for the charcuterie board then pauses, "Hey, Sammie-Sue, shall I get you a plate?"

”Mr Valsin? Well, Miss Underbough, I’m sure we can help you out.” He leans in close, an avuncular condescension in his manner, ”but you need to keep that name, and anything else related to the organisation, silently zipped away.”
He pulls away slightly, all smiles, ”Now, what would you like to drink?”

APL is 5.5 for a 6/7

GM asked if we want to take the 4-player adjustment.

It has no impact on the chronicle or anything, just the lethality of some encounters and, sometimes, the DC of some checks.

You hear muffled shouts and oaths outside. The noise goes on for several minutes before a bedraggled human stomps irritably into the room.
He pauses at the door, sighs and turns around.
A few minutes later the same man returns. He has a smart, straight-backed poise and his hair and clothes appear neat and tidy.
Drawing up to the table he shakes his head with a rueful smile, ”Apologies: someone’s stupid retriever decided that it should get a hold of a hippogriff!” He pulls out a chair and sits down, ”Hell of a job to stop Beaky from tearing it apart.”

He nods to his companions, ”Seldiir Elberion, at your service.”

Wayfinder will be hidden away upon reading the note.

I would go 4-player adjustment.

Seldiir is also a front-line. Having your front-line all play up sounds dangerous (and recently nearly got Seldiir killed).

But I don’t mind playing up if the rest are confident.

Sorry for the delay. I will get caught up ASAP.

Actually, I just realised he has hit level 5, so either tier.

Low tier, I have this ranger looking for adventure.

Brilliant, cheers!

Sheets

Seldiir- I don't see your PFS # in the thread, or Day job check if you can remind me what those are please.

Sorry, he is 3812-6

No day job.

Sorry guys, just an update- I'm having trouble with my Adobe Pro on my new home computer; I will have to get the sheets finished Tuesday when I'm at work.

Apologize again about the delay.

Thanks for letting us know.

If you still have trouble, I can run you through how to do it with the free version of acrobat.

Thanks, Oxnard!
