.Shadow.'s page

Shadow takes a step back from where ever she is at the tale end of the group so as to peruse what ever is in her back-pack/pockets.

No real time to keep up with so many posts a day. Please feel free to use the character to the best of the group's advantage.

Perception:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22(-2 Due to circumstances)

Shadow steps back and lets the Priestess 'Do her thing'....

Shadow frowns a little, "Nothing?"She asks, even as she ponders this turn of events.

"Andrea should be along soon..." She tries to re-assure Lucrezia...

Shadow says nothing in response to Truk's over-all comment about Lucrezia's current state of mind...

"Lucrezia? It's me, Shadow?" She calls through the door to the other woman.

"You remember your name, correct?" Shadow asks, then glances at the door itself...

Knowledge Check:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 (Who's room is it, anyway...?)

Shadow moves to where Lucrezia has been found. "What's the matter?" She asks, looking to Truk as she approaches.

Shadow politely leaves Andrea to help Grimm with his armor.

Which room is to be checked next?

Shadow quickly moves to investigate the window sill. Also checking the rest of the room.

Perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Looking for signs of which way she might have gone. Or even the possibility of foul play.

Also, home hot water system died. Am busy chasing money/repairs/etc. Best wishes to all.

Shadow shrugs and goes at the (Hopefully simple) lock on Lucrezia's door.

Disable Device:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26(Plus Guidance and what ever etc)

Shadow comes at Anderea's beckons.

Shadow has 'Disable Device'. Though I am actually unsure as to a 'Ninjas' abilities when it pertains to locks.

Worst case scenario, Shadow goes and has a look in Lucrezia's window?

Shadow continues to help the Priestess as much as she can.

Round 1(?)

Escape Artist Check:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Yup, dice roller is loving this encounter...:P

Are you spending your time taking off your armor or are you going to try to do a strength check? perhaps Truk and grab you next.

Okay...will the character's Escape Artist skill be of any use at all in getting out of her armor faster? She has less than a snow ball's chance in Asmodeus's court of making any Str checks at all....

Because getting out of her armor is a better bet than trying to beat an impossible Str check.

Long story short, Shadow is getting out of armor. If getting Andrea out of her armor gets Andrea out of trouble quicker than getting Shadow out of trouble, then Andrea comes first.

Trying to get off/out of armor as quickly as possible!

You need DC 15 str check to break the hold and get over 5ft out of its magnetic grasp.

Bugger THAT! I want OUT of my armor! Escape artist check please!

"Oooo...cr@p, cr@p, cr@p, cr@p, cr@p!" Shadow mutters as true terrors of the night slink forwards.

Since it looks like Andrea and Shadow are 'sharing space' upon the doors (^_~)

"Well...they kind of have to go through me to get to you." Shadow smiles wanly to Andrea, trying to make some silver lining out of their current predicament.

"Think of me as snug-able extra-health." (^_^)

Really looking forwards to that next dice roll for escapologist! *frets*

When does Shadow get a second 'Escape' check top speed things up?

Wait! Two 'SHADOWS'? Or two 'Shadow BEASTS'! BIG Difference!

Now you tell me.....

Str Check:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5

"Whaaaaaaa...!"

Acrobatics Check:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

*THUNK*

And Shadow ends up pinned to the door besides Andrea.

"Well...do I at least get points for trying..?" She asks quietly, even as she too begins to wriggle and squirm to release the straps and buckles now pining her to the door.

Escape Artist:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Bah! Happy to throw it at the door so as not to hurt any one. :P

With Shadows strength, she's not going to keep hold of it until we turn off the magic magnets. :P

Throw Check:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11(+7 to throw.-4 with no 'Throw anything' skill)

It should not be that hard to hit an empty spot on the door...(¬_¬)

Shadow runs forwards and helps Andrea out of her...clothes...?

How much is Andrea wearing under her fighting gear, any ways?

Shadow does her best to stop Andrea from sliding into the trapped door., though she continues to look around for anything which might take advantage of the parties current situation.

Str Check:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4

Perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20(Plus 'Low light' being an Elf and all.)

Shadow has on a mythril breast plate. Is holding a katana. Is wearing various bits of magical jewelry. *Bows

Pick up, stand up and clean up. Me presumes. :P

Acrobatics:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 (Aiding others)

Shadow, still standing, takes another swing at the flank of the beast

Acro Check:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31

Att Roll:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Dam Roll:1d8 ⇒ 7

Move the 30' to be within range.

Sneak Att(Katana):1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19)(+2 with/if flanking)

Att Dam(Katana):1d8 ⇒ 1

Sneak Dam:3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2) = 8

Also, don't forget Shadow's starting trait 'Shadow child'. 20% miss chance, hence allowing a little telleport on a miss.

Hmm...that was...underwhelming......

ALERT!

My internet connection has become 'spotty' and 'random'.

The severe weather problems happening within my country are a good bet as being responsible.

Thankfully I am in no danger from the floods wreaking havoc through the Northern parts of the land, however the same can not be said for infra structure and other things.

I shall try to keep abreast of posts etc, but can give no guarantees.

Very much cheers to all.

Shadow...looking like she has been dropped on her head and then dragged through a bramble bush backwards, smiles a little wanly but nods that she's okay.

Description of what she saw below:

Weed choked inner courtyard. Dozens of pillars support a wooden terrace that surrounds a weed-choked inner courtyard. Underneath the terrace, a variety of weapon racks rest against an outer stone wall, protected from the outdoor weather. In the center of the open courtyard sits a raised dais composed of a mysterious blue metal. The strange circular stage is fifty feet across.

"Also...there was..laughing...?" She says, though sounding unsure. "Something like...children? Or small creatures? maybe Fey...or Imps..?" She says slowly, herself trying to remember the sound.

I'm hoping for the 'Pulled up' option. It's why Shadow was wearing the safety-rope. (^_~)

Best of luck with your shift Grimm. (^_^)

Well...that could have gone better....

*Shrug*

We shall see what we shall see.

Very best wishes to all.

"Bugger..."

Shadow grabs her 'safety' line and prepares to swing down, into the building she's just left.

"Drop and roll.....Drop and roll..." She whispers as (Witth a definite 'snap') said rope bridge gives way and she swings back on her 'safety-rope'.

Ref Save:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9(+2 for high Acrobatics Skill)

*Nods*

Shadow walks cautiously, gracefully and unafraid out across the rope bridge.

Assuming she makes it to the other side.

She stops and secures her 'anchor rope' to the far side and returns.

"If we add a few more of our own ropes to this bridge it should become safe enough for every one to cross." She glances to the fully armored Knight in their ranks.

Will Shadow's 'Escape Artist" skill be useful in securing ropes? Or some one else' skills, perhaps?

*Nods* (^_^) Happy to be of help.

At Grimm's suggestion Shadow nods he assent and checks out the rope of the bridge before looking for a spare length of rope amongst the party.

Perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18(Checking for traps and the general 'safety' of said bridge)

We have a spare length of rope, yes?

"Of course...We could always back track down to ground level and simply walk across the...um..court yard?" Shadow does also suggest an alternative.

Once secured with a second rope, Shadow is ready to cross.

And awaiting the DM's reply on just how safe said bridge seem to be. (^_~)

Shadow ignores the lantern's reply and returns to watching out for flanking/rear attacks.

Perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Also, there's a weird mental image. How exactly does/can she turn? Have her ears become 'dextrous', like a Vargoules? :/

"A pity we are not in a position to offer it the freedom it now probably craves." Shadow says quietly.

"Mz Khazrae? Would you be able to communicate with the creature?" She asks.

'Better the free'd friend behind you than the trapped terror, yes?"

Fluer you don't notice bringing up the rear.

I was hoping more to notice things coming up to attack the behind the party. Not to notice things in front of the party. (^_~)

Shadow pads along at the rear of the group, keeping a watchful eye upon her surroundings and ready to call out a warning should anything try and attack the rear.

Perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Shaodw nods at her Cleric's words/instructions and set about guarding the boat with Mathalen.

(Our only boat and hence our only sure way to get back to Westcrown...)

Continues to move along the beach/wave/surf area to get 'behind' the Dragon/Zombie/thing.

Given the size of it, yah, Shadow is still moving to get into a position to sneak attack the thing.

Shadow moves down the beach, towards the water and closer to the boat.

Stealth:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Att Roll:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Dam Roll;1d2 ⇒ 2

Happy to take second shift with Andrea. (^_^)

To DM baldwin the merciful. Not far. Though with Shadow's poor skills out int he wild...how far is 'Not too far'...?

Shadow does her best to carefully reconnoiter the perimeter.

Stealth:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

*Grumble* 'Stoopid rocks...stoopid shifting sand...stoopid uneven terrain...*mutter, muter*"

Shadow will help as best she can to set up camp. Though her skills are obviously far less developed than Lucrezia's.

Survival:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Really? Well...better a '1' now than in the middle of something lethal. (-_-)

Home from work. Off to bed to awake come the evening and toddle off to work again (^_^)

Round 3:

Fort Save:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Still trying to help keep people in the boat, Acrobatics:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Last opportunity for me to post. Bot as needed. Off to work.

Re-posting Round 2:

Fort Save:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

"Urgh!" Shadow grunts as the creature's attack washes over the group.

Acrobatics:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32(Aid Another)[/ooc]

Still trying to help keep people in the boat.

Round 2:

Fort Save:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

"Urgh!" Shadow grunts as the creature's attack washes over the group.

Still trying to help keep people in the boat.

Ah...good point. I'd forgotten I'd posted that. *Blush*

Round 2:

Help keep people stable in the boat,

Acrobatics:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32(Aid Another)

Shadow will do her best to help keep people in the boat.

Acrobatics:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32(Aid another)

"I say get inside where ever that door is. Get something solid under us and then either attack with cover from inside, or get the thing inside with us where we can box it between us all." Shadow suggests.

Though, given this things ranged attacks and weird damage? I don't think that's now going to be an option.

"Any one seen anything like it before?"

Perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Shadow hums quietly to herself as she too communes with her goddess and casts 'Shield of faith' upon her person.

Shield of Faith as a spell(+2 AC)

Plus if you are 10' from Orsin you have the bonuses from Magic Circle Against Evil.

*Waves*

Shadow continues to try and help Lucrezia back into the boat.

What might it take for Shadow to get in range of the possible coming sneak attack?

That's a bother. Would have liked to helped a little more than I did. Sorry for the time zones and everything being so out of whack.

Much cheers to every one.
