Shellin, Dragonblood Arcanist's page

Shellin smiles as he joins in. "Shellin is new to Ptolus. Shellin must say he is relatively unaware of it's brighter points, but yes, a bath sounds lovely."

Shellin will hurry everyone along, urging them toward Ptolus out of sheer curiosity.

Maybe it was a bad idea to leave the dark mage active in the city before leaving xD

Welp, been a week.

As they set up camp for the night Shellin will sit by their fire, reading one of his books. This one with dragons across the cover. The long shadows of the campfire stretch his little horde of dragon shadows, making them appear larger in the night.

They seem to all be huddled around Shellin, giving the appearance of reading over his shoulder.
”Well, we have certainly had a lively week. Who else besides Shellin is ready to be done with the traveling?”

Shellin will sit up for awhile, reading and bantering with those who stay awake.
After awhile, he tucks in to his sleep roll and rests.

In the morning he takes time to eat a ration of deer jerky and prepare his spells before calling out to everyone, ”Shall we set off?”

Ok, that's 4/5 ready to go. How much travel progress can we make today?

While the others walk on, Shellin takes a moment to take out a map and shows the rougarrou where they are, and where Ptolus is. "Where should Shellin bring this book once we recover it?"

After he has his answer he will smile and thank the rougarrou before hurrying after his friends. Onward!

Shellin makes a mental note. Yet another reason to handle the Dark Mage.

"Well, you are in luck friend. Shellin and his friends already have Shulikar's bounty in our sights. We know of the people who he meets with. We simply must find them and," his smile widens, "Convince them to direct us to Shulikar."

Diplomacy Aid Another: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Shellin smiles and moves to Tony's side
"Tony is right, we would be happy to help you, given a reason to do so."

Diplomacy Aid Another: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Assured the Rougarrou is free of enchantment or curse, Shellin chimes in
”Shellin believes there is safety in numbers. We can travel together and you can inform us of how we might help you.”

What a strange thing.
Threll will cast Detect magic and look the man over.
I'll drop identify rolls if he is under the effect of anything

Startled, but wary, Shellin snaps his book shut. He takes a step back, and studies the Rougarou. "State your business."

Prepared Action to Reach Shocking Grasp if he takes hostile action?

^Hah

Shellin will pull a book titled Reinkarr and the Dragon from his backpack and read quietly to himself as they walk.

As they walk and the party chatters, he feels the need to add something.
"Shellin hopes the weather holds. He hates having to dry out his books."

”It looks like we best hurry, lest Kali leave us all in the dust!”

With that Shellin will hurry after Kali

Roll call/ready check to start the journey back?

Ready

”Well, we should earn some good faith credit with the guards at least. We solved the overpopulation problem, in a permanent fashion, as per request.”

His smile pleasantly returning, Shellin turns to Rribak. ”The more the merrier! Shellin would be happy to have you with us.”

So its been a bit, I'll toss out an idea.

Maybe your people want to reclaim land from the swamp. The methods for doing this require alot of raw materials (like sand and dry dirt) that are difficult to haul and to apply.

Your shaman believes that with the ability to control the water, the reclamation process could be simplified.

Thus, they ask you to gather resources to conscript the purchase of these items from a wizard (maybe within the swamp or to purchase it from a city wizard.)

Either way, this wizard wants something in return for making magical items(Ex. making for Muleback Cords for hauling or a Staff of Control Water). This something requires you travel to Ptollus, or to supply at Ptollus and travel further.

With the rafts built, Shellin feels their contract with the ratfolk,
being to escort them to the swamp, has met its end. He approaches Rribak.
"Rribak, is their someone among your tribe who would be willing to guide these ratfolk down the river from here, to a place where they might make a camp?"

Uhhhh...
Knowledge Nature (to find the best trees): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Shellin tried to help by selecting good materials for the boats, before crafting his own
Taking 20 =24 Craft

All right then

Shellin will try to explain the situation to the rat folk.
”Would your people be willing to pitch in on rafter making?”

Happy Non-Denominational Winter Holiday guys

Well, I appear to be in the minority opinion then.

Shellin will drop his illusion after hearing the grippli claim to mean no harm. "So long as you mean us no harm, we mean you no harm."

This trip has made me tired of Diplomacy. Best start things off rightly...

Shellin cast Silent Image Spending 1 arcane pool to increase save DC by 1

Yep, didn't want to double post

Shellin will quirk one side of his smile. ”Everyhing is safe to eat if you cook it for long enough, friend.”

"We should make it there tomorrow, according to the map. Shellin would call everyone to stop and start setting up a watch schedule."

Don't want those pesky bandits ambushing us in our sleep.

Leveled up

"Perhaps we should make camp and cook this thing, then. How far are we from this swamp?"
Shellin will check the map he made with Beads Since he can't exactly ask Beads

Shellin will back up to 25 ft and cast Jolt
Jolt ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Electric Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

And misses horribly, loudly charring the trunk of a nearby tree

Now I’m kind of curious, since a couple of people have gone dark:
Our only actives are Kali, Shellin, Tony, and Vallus?

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Hey guys, we’ve been pretty dead for a bit, everyone ok?

Sorry, forgot to state it is vs Touch AC. Also, Forgot that Jolt is a transmutation spell, not an evocation spell. The damages only +1 not +2, so total dmg would be 2. Probably should have this figured out by 600 posts huh xD

Or a sad fizzle (I missed)

Shellin tosses Jolt into the bushes where Kali seems so intent.
Perhaps it will start and Kali can reap its head, let us move on with the march?
Jolt to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Jolt damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Hey all, finally back from fall holiday. Gonna start things off with a bang!

Happy turkey day everyone

”Where? Shellin sees nothing”

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

”A crocodile, or alligator, perhaps? Why do you ask?

Huh. Definitely do not want to deal with that by hand.

Knowledge Nature, the sound of a creature that would scare away an owlbear?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Shellin will make said sound with Ghost Sound, as loud as possible.

Know Nature to ID beast: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Best not to look a gift horse in the mouth then.

Shellin will begin pushing others ahead. ”You will find your boss tied to a tree one mile ahead, and if we see no one following us till then, he will be alive. Let’s hurry on then.”

How many can we see?

I can help a little if this goes down badly...

Shellin will whisper to those near him
"Shellin can try to blind as many as he can but it will only last a moment, 20 seconds at most. Do what you can after."

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Leaving him alone, tied up in the forest...
Shellin's smile will turn to a smirk.
Best hope no bandits come along.

"Shellin likes Tony's idea. Tie him, then, and let's be done"

"Well, Vallus makes one vote for sparing the wretch, Shellin makes 1 against. A tiebreaker, if you will friends."

Didn't wanna monopolize the narrative with the bandit, but-

Turning his manic facsimile of a smile to the bandit on the ground, "No, now sit there like a good little boy while my friends decide your fate."

Easy pickings, like Mother... no, can't be angry now, it won't help. Logic, Shellin, logic.

Manic grin affixed, dragon eyes gleaming still, Shellin says "If we leave him be he will likely steal from other, weaker prey. Allow Shellin to dispatch him and be done."

Emphasize his point, Shellin will send a Jolt to sear the ground beside where the brigand is laying. Speaking to the thief, he says "Regardless of our decision, stay there till it is made."

Hey guys, are we waiting on anyone?

Shellin will call the group to a stop as they notice the brigand. I wonder what he wants...

After hearing his request/demand, Shellin's half smile will grow to nearly split his face in two. In response to this, the dragons that are his shadow begin to sweep and seethe across the ground around him. Wisdom DC 15 to notice this.

Oh, a bandit. I love bandits.
"Oh, you mean to rob us. Simple enough then-"

Shellin's eyes will change to azure blue orbs with reptilian slits as he screams
"WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!"

Followed by the verbal and somatic of Reach Shocking Grasp
Using one arcane pool point to increase faster level by 1
Ranged Touch Attack(+3 if he has metal in his armor or weapon): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3) + 6 = 15

So I guess we are waiting on Beads to lead the way then?
