Sir Esteban Liborius's page

Sir Esteban fixed the woman with an implacable gaze.
"You live here. Tell us how we can break this impasse, as we are heroes, courageous and bold." Ventured Sir Esteban.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

"Astounding! But, shouldn't we confirm this first? We are speculating like mad at the moment." Observed Sir Esteban.
"Perhaps someone could use telepathy, or sneak in to speak to him discreetly."

Back!
Holy smoke, Alaska is awesome!

On vacation to Alaska for a couple weeks. Bot me as needed!

Esteban looked at Alister with amazement.
"By god sir, that is positively diabolical! We really should do just that."

Esteban nodded at Alister.
"Aye, and the sooner the better." He said, scratching at his peasants disguise. "I mislike this itchy clothing, no matter how useful."

Esteban follows along, just trying to keep his head down.

He tries to observe the people about in the streets. Are they oppressed, starving, wealthy, freedom loving? What are they like?
Society: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

"Oi, I guess you got us..." Feigned Esteban, going for pathos, revealing two silver and two copper.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22

No sweat; get well soon!

"Yes sir; please sir!" Esteban said piteously, hat in hand and eyes watering...
Diplomacy Aid another: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40

Wishing you good health!

"And our mounts? Do we leave them out here in the brush, or take them with us also under Veil?" Asked Sir Esteban.

Sir Esteban takes a moment to focus, and his hands fill with the healing light of Iomedae. He Lays on Hands to himself, healing 5x6=30hp.
Looking much better now, he shook his head ruefully.
"One reason I was riding in openly was because I am so useless as a stealthy infiltrator."
"If we have a few minutes, I would like to meditate and recover my focus."

Once out of sight of the enemy, Sir Esteban slowly reigns in and signals the others to stop.
Gazing back at the fortified town, Esteban shook his head.
"Well, if nothing else, we were a tremendous distraction for our other companions."
He felt his moderate wound.
"Ow."

Sir Esteban will triple move away from the soldiers.

Looks to me like three guys moved into sword range while I'm holding a lance. Time to make them pay.
AoO vs Mr. Teal: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27 for a possible 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 8, 6) + 6 = 28 piercing and magic damage.
AoO vs Mr. Yellow: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34 for a possible 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 8, 2) + 6 = 17 piercing and magic damage.
AoO vs Mr. Red: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23 for a possible 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 8, 6) + 6 = 26 piercing and magic damage.

On his turn Sir Esteban will salute his opponents and withdraw (double move back).

"Blast it! Sir Mikhail is surrounded!" Sir Esteban swore aloud.
He turned to the others.
"I will assay a short charge and withdraw, hopefully drawing at least some of them off and giving Sir Mikhail a decent chance to win free."

Having said that, he mounted a charge attack against Mr. Light Blue.
Mounted charge attack, +1 striking lance: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25 for a possible 3d8 + 6 + 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 6) + 6 + (5, 2, 3) = 30 piercing and magic damage.
(deadly d8, jousting d6, magical, reach 10 feet),

I'm still in and want to continue.
Could the combatants make a Profession:Soldier roll or something to tell that the battle would be obviously unwinnable? Historically, cavalry vs pike is a bad matchup for the Cavalry.
And we should be able to retreat faster than the pike infantry.

Aid Another

Sir Esteban will stand in the saddle and raise his lance with his knights pennon fluttering in the breeze and stare the enemy forces down in an intimidating manner.
Intimidation: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

Avalanche reared up and pawed at the air, neighing in an intimidating manner.
Intimidation: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

Sir Esteban vigourously concurs with Sir Mikhail's plan (liking the dynamism).

"A bold approach. Let's make it so.
"Oh, forgive me, but is there a Realm banner I should fly as well? I have only my Knight's pennon with me." Sir Esteban asked.

"Ah, forgive my ignorance milord; but, what IS our purpose here?
"To attack and punish? Or something more diplomatic?" Sir Esteban asked.
"In either case, perhaps we could find someone inoffensive looking to talk to some of the people who fled at our approach? They may know something useful."

What does Corb report with his flyover?

Breakfasting, packing up, taking care of Avalanche and his tack occupied Esteban pleasantly as it had for as long as he had been on the road. What was it, months now? Time passed strangely in the empty lands.
Not so empty as he had supposed now, having met his new companions.

Sir Esteban uses his training (Ride feat) to calm Avalanche on his trip through the air.

"I can swim across to help as well. Can you see if there is a place I can swim Avalanche across as well? His strength would be useful." Sir Esteban asked, his eyes scanning the far bank.
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Being brand new to this area, Sir Esteban kept his eyes and ears open, trying to learn about this new realm and it's leaders.

Sir Esteban seemed strangely subdued at the news of political unrest in Brevoy.

Sir Esteban enjoyed his ride through the countryside in the retinue of Baron Medvyed. He tried to pay attention to the terrain of these new wild lands.
Dismounting, he cased his knight's pennon, stabled Avalanche his trusty mount and went inside.

When offered, he smiled and nodded.
"Yes of course! I'll take a pint of whatever you have. Do you have anything to eat as well?" He asked, reassuring the nervous man.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23

At the announcement of the post rider, Esteban wondered if he had heard the name 'Jamandi Aldori' before.
Society: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Sir Esteban looked confused.
"I am new come to these lands. Where is this Slough? Can it take a heavy horse?" He asked aloud.

"Of course, I can aid with funerals and the burial of the dead." Sir Esteban said. "Afterward, I can help with scouting as well."

The Cavalier pointed out as Sir Esteban stood head and shoulders above the others and built like a steel clad brick wall. He wore an older style of baroque style of articulated plate armor burnished bright and unstained, and wore a surcoat with the longsword on white field, the device of the goddess Iomedae.
