Simon Bornen's page

Presenting Simon Bornen a character from a previous Kingmaker which died after two encounters .

Here is a little background .
Simon was born in a little farm in Brevoy near the forest. his parents are hard-working people but the terrain was poor and Simon is not the heir . While helping his brother working the farm, Simon want to help more people . Joigning the militia was a first step even if it only meant being able to assemble twice a month to learn how to use weapons .
Once a adult , simon took leave of the family and moved to a bigger town with the idea of joigning the town's guard . After a few day of observation , hze found out that life in a big town is not for him and that the companionship found amongst farmers fighting together to eke out a living is clearly missing in a big town
At a bit of a loss , he has just heard of a offer to go fight some bandits ...

What he would bring to a party would be a diplomatic fighter, someone who thinks of what a creature can bring in a community regardless of race and for who small communities are the best .
Mechanically I think he would continue as a paladin.

Strange , iI could have sworn I did put the background . anyway there it is

Hello , presenting Simon Bornen a paladin of Erastil
Frankly , the concept is the same as Inquisitor Leet so he would have precedence
The character was in a Kingmaker which died after one or two encounters

Oh well , time for the old kick in the door
Simon join action to his words

"No sign of ropes used . Must be an animal . Pavel , would he not have attacked yet if it was here ? "

Simon will pick up a stone and throw it at the trapdoor

About this trapdoor , it it something an animal could have done or only an intelligent creature ?

Meatshield reporting for duty Simon will say with a smile and advances towards the trapdoor

Not here till wednesday . DNPC me if necessary

Simon positions himself to protect Nefi from what she might have angered

Perception 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

simon will also concentrate to see if the area has an evil aura

It is french national day and I'm off for the week-end . Please DNPC me if necessary

Simon ponder Pavel's words and then looks at him earnestly:
"this is an old dilemna, Pavel. Do the end justify the means ? In this case , this mean 'Can taking down the Stag Load justify allowing Lord Theodric be dishonest and claim a kill he did not do himself" . I know that for those who do not follow Erastil , that might not be a big wrong. Note that I did not say evil there, this is murky enough without bringing the BIG words into play. But it is still morally wrong.
If we find ourselves fighting this tatzlewyrm and I don't even know what is a tatzlewyrm for Irori's sake , I won't stop you from selling it if you all insist but my part of the money will be given to charity and it will certainly be a black day for me "

Narrater , does this discussion takes place after lord Theodric and his men left ?

Clearly Simon is not amused

There are other things than money in life .

Useful ? For helping people understand the plus of the andoran revolution ? Or do you really intend to do this quest for him ?

We do indeed know of Oleg's post. We will discuss your offer , sir but I most say that as a follower of Erastil , I find it a trifle offensive . Might I respectfully suggest that if we find the location of such beast, we 'll report it to you instead so the glory of the trophy is righfully yours.

Simon will do his best there to convey the minimal offense possible in his tone but is quite aware that the lord might be offended by his words still saying to a follower of Erastil you want to mount a hunt trophy in your hall you bought ...

The crown has not appointed any of us leader of the group , Lord Theodric. I do think nonetheless that we do have matters to discuss.
Are you satisfied that we are agents of the crown ?

This can wait . Let's us withdraw so their companion can be healed. We'll talk after .

Simon join parole to action but once the group has retreated
Am I the only one thinking we should investigate what they are doing here out of Brevoy and how their companion was hurt ?

Guys , I do not want you to think I'm stealing the limelight there !

Simon will seem concerned while stepping aside
Oh is this an illness or a wound ?
He glances at Finneous then

Simon will advance at the forefront of the group
Hello, people ! No need to be nervous. We are a group retained by Brevoy's crown to map the region . Might I ask who you would be

Simon will exist from the hut and looks around . Must be a mercenary company then . Bokken has two potions of healing 50 gp apiece to sell . He has also potions who allows one protection agains hot or cold. He has also a quest for us and would lowers his price but there is no hurry. I also got a partial map from him

Narrater

Simon speaks curtly " We want healing potions . How much do you sell them and how long the wait? We might also be interested in others potions but that would depend on the avaibility and the price "

Simon took it thanking Sigurd

No need for your hard earned money, Svletana. If we see these moon radishes and are ablle to , we'll pick some of them. Errr , what do they look like? I mean I can recognize normal radishee in the ground bur MOON radishes ... Simon lets his voice die in silence .

Felicitation to your wife ! You'll now be able to post at night even if you'll have to type one handed ...

Keep your silver and copper , my friends
Simon will turn to Svletana
I guess having one week ration prepared in a week time would be a good idea. Let me and Pavel check what you have prepared now we have finished eating

Thank you , Pavel , that's exactly what I meant

I'll have to disagree a little with Nefi. Do not think of yourself as a character but rather think your character as being in a adventure film. Then try to imagine how the character would react yo any situation. Then translate it into words . "

We already have 2 healing potions. A third would not go amiss and since the day is already advanced , leaving tomorrow morning would make sense. If I might interject something here , I quite understand one want to improve his own equipment but it would make sense to leave 50% of our earnings in a communal pot for items potentially helpful to any of us. And to begin with here is my 35gp.

We can wait for you to sell them as per our aggreement , Oleg

Simon goes to have a look at the charter and frowns looking at you : "Weird . let's hope this is just officialdom in action as usual and not something more sinister"

I would prefer to actually begin the main part of the job we were hired for rather than go gallivanting on expeditions. We had to do the last one because there was a direct threat agains the post but the others bandits should let us be for a while. Unless this potion-maker is really near , I would suggest we explore with a plan rather than haphazardly . It seems the royal cartographer likes hexes . so let us speak in term of hexes .
I will assume that we can consider the hex we are in as already explored by Oleg and Svletana in a way . So now , we should secure the 6 hex near the fort . And that means not just passing through them but really getting to know them . Pavel will be invaluable there as a real ootdoorsman compared to me . For the first expedition , Pavel do you thing it better to come back to the fort each night since it will be near or more efficient to camp? One has the advantage of allowing us to sleep without posting a guard , the other will make us waste time moving. Please all others , feel free to talk ? I asked Pavel because I know his capacities but I would like to hear your opinion.Of course we can begin with the east hex if you want to."

Simon will shake hands with Nefi and greet Finneous with a visible respect .
So what brings you to Oleg's ?

Sorry to arrive late but I was not home this week-end

Stretching after his long nap , a young man comes into the main room . Hello all and welcome. I am Simon Bornen. what brings you people here ? You are looking quite eclectic if you don't mind me talking plainly.

Keep me informed if you find some more people.

Damn ! Ok sorry but I am out of here . Not enough players means no opportunity to role play .

Seem like we lost Pavel as well ... If I count right , this makes me the only player since Jonas is plaued by the DM . Am I right ?

Ok so we have 3 bandits to mark and frankly I would not give a chance to the woman , she seems a nasty one

Ok Jonas what do you need to mark them ?

No other questions for the talkative bandit

Simon will take leave of the bandit saying to him
"Well , you heard my offer and you know where Oleg's is .I'll be back shortly
He then takes Sigurd apart "Sigurd , what do you need to mark these men ? "

Good point , I guess Simon is with Sigurd at ths time which defers the talk about what to do about the bandits

Narrater

Narrater

Simon listen at what the bandit is saying
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

He then looks around and with surprise in his voice
Guys , why do you want to take the bandits with you ?

I assume the loot is once we have stripped the bandits , right ? Are the potions of cure light wounds identified as such?

Simon looks at the bandit
"Ok here is the deal . you have two choices when you will be able to move . We are going to put a mark on you and your friends . If you come to Oleg's , you 'll be put to work during the day for three months but you'll be fed. At night , we'll put you outside the fort.
After three months , we'll consider tou have paid your debt to society and we will remove the mark . The other choice is not coming to the fort but if any of us find you again , we will kill you . Are we clear ?
Turning back to his friends : Good work there , that's one bandit group which has been wiped from the map . Pavel , are you up to traveling back to Oleg's today ? If so we should put our loot on the cart and go back

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Simon will take care of the normal bandits but will let the vicious bandit leader to her fate .

A full round ? Not according to the map ... Second thought , is the Si for SIgurd or SImon ?

Stay still , man ! If you move , you are going to open your guts . I'll be back to heal you later So saying , Simon moves to Pavel's side to check on him
move to P18 and administer first aid to pavel 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
