Sha’ Lea's page

I know right? Oh well. I’ll just stick with pure monk and use the concept for a home game then. :)

Good point. I hadn’t thought about that. Lol. I didn’t get a chance to update last night, but I don’t have anything at all going on after I get off work today.

My idea with the echo knight was basically just to turn Shae into Noob Saibot. It sounds so cool to me.

Aright guys, my schedule is leveling out now that the quarantines are letting up in my area, so my posting should return to normal. I’ll level up when I get home. Third level I’m taking fighter with the echo knight archetype later on.

I’m in for another module. Sorry for Dali g off there at the end, I’m a manager at an adult store and we’re one of the few places still open in my city. It’s been busy as hell. I’ll get leveled and all tonight and then dot delete in the new thread

Sorry I’ve been absent guys, wrk has been crazy kicking my ass lately. We’re one on the few places still open in my area so I’ve been working 14-16 hour shifts regularly. Should be calming down now though.

Opportunity Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage?: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Shae responds to the thorny attack with a quick shot between the creature’s eyes with the butt of her staff, and then a quick kick to the underside of its chin!
Staff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Kick: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Shae tries to quickly finish off her down so she can help with the redcap.
Staff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Thrust Kick: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Shae continues her assault on her target, calling out to Quen
Go, tend to Gorum! He's hurt! I'll take care of this one!

She then slams the butt of her staff down onto the thing's head, followed by a brutal knife hand chop aimed at it's temple. Or, where a temple would be on a normal creature...

Staff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Knife Hand: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Or, at least she tries to...

Shae darts out of the brush, leaping into a strike with the butt end of her staff, and then a downward knife kick to the head of the one standing in front of Quen.
Staff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Advantage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Kick: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Advantage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Vegepygnies are awesome. I love everything gygaxian like that.

Shae whispers back
I'm not sure, but I'm planning for the worst. Stay ready. I want to try and take it down for interrogation if we need to...

Shae immediately goes into stealth mode, not trusting this place at all. She takes a long look around, checking for other danger, before she crouches down, and starts moving toward the shape. She gets ready to take it down if it can be interrogated.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Shae shakes herself back to the realm of reality when she feels Giuseppe's hand on her shoulder, and hears his words.
I'm... i'm not sure. A warning, from the Raven Queen, perhaps? Or maybe...

She relays her vision to the rest of the group, and starts looking where the cold wind turned her attention.
I had thought I'd lost them. But it seems The Dark Lady doesn't want one of her "children" here, in the realm of her enemies. Sometimes, help comes from the most unlikely of places...

She makes the symbol of Shevarash in the air in front of her, and sighs.
My family left the Shadowfell because they were peaceful. But we learned early, a Shadar Kai can leave the Shadowfell, but they can never truly leave the Raven Queen.

Survival: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Shae nods to Giu, and sets to the task. She starts combing the path for tracks or signs of recent passing, or anything else that would help.

Nature: 1d20 ⇒ 7

However, she's too absorbed to think about anything else, and nods absentmindedly as Giu speaks about the Cormanthor.

My fiance and I have been passing the time painting minis. We're finally getting caught up on a bunch that a friend of ours got out of a kickstarter and gave us.

I'd be down. Let me know when you post it and I'll make a character. I have a dwarf character in mind...

Shae seems lost in a trance during the story. To the others, it seems she isn't paying any attention at all, but in her head, her thoughts are a swirling mass of sorrow and memory. Memories of her mother, telling her stories like this in the orchard outside her family's monastery. Memories of playing in the forest, and finding animal trails and following them until the sun set. Memories of her childhood innocence, of times before her family was destroyed, and she turned away from the gods of nature, and found the promise of vengeance that Shevarash offered. Her face turns dark, then, as her mind replays the day she found the bodies of everyone she loved scattered around the monastery, murdered by drow. The memory of walking into her parent's bedroom, and finding them dead, her mother still clutching her staff, the same staff that Shae still wields.

She abruptly shakes herself out of her thoughts as the story comes to an end, and stands.
Every second may count. We should head out now. I'll take point if you want. I can see fine in the dark.

Shae looks at the rest expectantly.
I'll help. If these children have been gone this long, they may need help.

She shrugs.
Finding Vance was pure luck and coincidence. It happens more often than you think in this like of work. Tell me, Cenric, did this gang trouble you all greatly?

Shae would have bound him with the two sets of manacles she carries, and brought Vance’s body as well

Seeing Vance is beyond saving, Shae looks out over the river bed from the boat.
You should listen to him. He made short work of your friend here.

KHHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!

Nice shot Mender!

Shae had readied another strike from her staff, when she saw the blast of light strike Vance full on, after Guiseppe’s brutal upwards slash. She smirks at the bandit as he falls and derisively snorts at him ”What he said.”

Then she unhooks her manacles from her belt, and gestures to Quen.
Care to fix him up a little? He’s worth more alive.

She looks over at the other bandits and nods to Gorum.
Have some fun with them, Gor! They don’t have bounties.

If Quen will stabilize him or something, Shae will cuff him. That being said, holy hell Mender, I think you may have come damn close to killing him outright!

Yes, it’s a typo on the staff damage. I’ve been using at 1d8, I just typed 1d4 because I was in a hurry earlier.

Shae grabs the side of the boat, and launches herself up (climb), executing a flip over the side to land on her feet in front of Vance.
Acrobatics (if necessary): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

She then goes right back into her fluid attack routines, despite being covered in mud and flinging it everywhere.
Staff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Throat Punch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Extra Crit Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Guidance: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Caught off guard, Shae goes tumbling into the mud! She sputters, and spits words full of anger at Vance.
Gorum’s correct You guys are a!##!!$s. You’re quickly making yourself a “cold” bounty Vance.

I’m not going to waste it. He’s tough, but I get the feeling I should save it in case this goes south.

That sucks. How does inspiration work again? lol

Shae eyes the man with a grim look, assessing him, his fighting style, and his weaknesses.
You're skilled, Vance. It's a shame you became the very thing you fought against for so long. Men like you have no honor, and men without honor always fall to the righteous.

She them thrusts the butt of her staff at his throat, and follows it with a low kick at his knee, and a powerful elbow thrust to his nose.
Staff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Kick: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Elbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Spending a ki point for flurry of blows

As soon as the dog lunges Shae launches into an attack, striking at Vance’s forehead with the butt, and ten thrust kicking him in the solar plexus, trying to incapacitate rather than kill.
Attack, Staff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Attack, Kick: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Then she calmly looks at his men and states bluntly.
The bounty is for him. Leave with your life.

Shae shrugs.
Well, I guess we’re doing it this way. Surrender Vance. You’re a wanted man, marked by Mulmaster’s Thayan embassy. I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold. Either way works for me.

She jerks her head downward, motioning to the manacles hanging off her belt.
Initmidate: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Shae stands, and drops to the ground, lightly on her feet. She gives the man a discerning look, and motions at Mender to stop getting on the boat. She then turns to her companions, and whispers to them about her suspicions while making t seem like she’s discussing who’s going to go in which group.
Read spoiler above.

This isn’t going to end well. This man is dangerous, and wanted. If we get in the ferry, I guarantee they’ll attack us as soon as we’re split up and vulnerable. I think we should expose him here, confirm his identity, and when he attacks, subdue him. We can gather the bounty later. What say you all?

All leveled up! Gotta get a spreadsheet up logging my gold and downtown stuff later but I've made all my purchases and everything.

Insight: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Insight Advantage?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Shae narrows her eyes at the men, but stays silent, musing to herself inwardly.
He looks familiar... and the ripped poster is suspicious. Could these be bandits who sacked the place and took it over? If so, they’ll be attacking us for our gold, no doubt... and if I’m right, I’ll need a way to alert everyone else, though Gio seems to have the right of it.

Investigation: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Nope. Still cursed. Lol

Shae sits back in her seat and gives a nod to the man, but waits for someone else to do the talking.

And here I am getting forced overtime working at a sex store lol. I’ll get caught up tonight when I get home. Work has been crazy busy.

Shae leans back into her seat and thumbs through some of her bounty notes.
The journey is indeed, important, Giuseppe. However, I too am ready to be done with this trip. There may be information on one of my marks around here.

I'll level up after my IRL game concludes tonight. I saw the Harpell thing a while ago but forgot to ask. I love the Salvatore world, I'm even currently painting a drizzt mini for a commission.

Boop

When Shae finally comes to, she seems more embarrassed that she was so easily incapacitated than anything else. As Giuseppe suggests a celebration, she agrees, if only to gather information on her mark that disappeared in the fire at The Wave and Wink.

Since we’re done with the module, I would assume the potion doesn’t matter anymore, lol. I would imagine we get at least a long rest in between modules. So, if I understand this correct, we receive a healing potion and inspiration at the beginning of every tier 1 module, correct? And we can spend our gold freely in between modules, but we cannot exceed the amount of magical items as laid out in the guide?

Alright dope. So we level up after each module? Or is it a certain amount of dp per module so it slows down as we get higher level? Also I’m not going to take that brooch. Gonna hold out for something more useful.

It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll play whatever. I’m terribly unfamiliar with how AL play works, but I’m assuming it’s something similar to pathfinder society. Does anyone have an example of how I’m supposed to log player adventures, or where I’m supposed to enter data (if at all)?

Indeed I have. Lol.

At least he hasn’t spent most of the module unconscious. Lol ;)

Pretty sure I’m unconscious, but I still inspiration as well. Let me know what you need me to roll GM

This party just cannot catch a break. Holy hell.

Shae darts forward and attacks the red Magmin, trying to start clearing a path toward the painter.
Attack, Staff: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Elbow Smash: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

I knew that. I was just testing you guys... <.<
The Right Amount of Healing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Shae grins sheepishly as she finishes off her potion...

Shae comes too, with a jolt and helps out Mender! Loo-

When she realized what’s going on, she takes Gorum’s hand and launches herself to her feet, keeping stride with him, and take her only healing potion from her belt. Instead of attacking the snake outright, she stands slightly behind the rest of the group, and down the potion. She then steels herself for another fight.
Healing Potion: 1d4 ⇒ 4
