Sir Randolf Inerio's page

Randolf bows deeply and looks at the beautiful statuette. "Thank you for the fine gift. And yes, I would love a lift back to Highdelve."

Thanks for allowing me in after somebody else dropped out, the end part of the module was fun. I truly enjoyed it (and was amazed my daze level zero spell worked so well!). Anybody wanting to get in a group for a pbp please send me a message.

Sir Randolf Inerio.

Sir Randolf looks at Aurelliax...almost stumbling as his feet seem to get twisted together as he stumbles to a halt. Quickly attempting to recover his poise, he puts his hand lightly on his pommel, and with the other hand sweeping outward...as he bows deeply to the magnificent gold dragon.

"Dear Magnificent Aurelliax, we are coming back from finding and fighting a foul ettin with arcane symbols and the missing amulet seeming to power some kind of anti-detection or even anti-dragon magic. The person who did this was a tiefling named Gilda Korgren and she was assisted by her son. Two of the towns own population were being coerced into helping them, Richelle and Tolwin I believe their names were. Once we stopped the son from coercing them, they actually helped us with fore knowledge of the ettin and what Gilda was preparing. Please, what can we as Pathfinders do to help assist you or the town with?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Dice don't fail me now...

2nd round, Randolf moves to help flank, though right as he gets there Torgen does the killing blow

Randolf gets closer to the foul dead (or dying) beast, looking at the arcane marks on it, and the amulet. He also quickly looks over the dead body of Gilda, seeing that the marks are apparently similar....and seeing that they looked like what killed her.

Knowledge (arcana) on the marks and anything else about either body: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Perception on both bodies: 1d2 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Looking at the bodies, the runes, and the amulet, trying to see if it is 1) safe to remove and 2) any other possible arcane or unusual things about this.

....and the dice gods hate me....this is the 3rd or so (1) I have gotten in the last couple of days....sigh

Randolf hopes that his spell will work, allowing his allies once more to get into better position. He quickly focuses on the ettin, and then moves into position.

Standard action: Casts Daze (DC 14 Will Save negates. Only works on creatures 4HD or less. This is the spell daze, not an occult power).
Move action: pulls his dueling sword.
5 foot move closer

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

"I think the ettin is protected by some sort of arcane runes. I don't think the gold dragon Aureliax could harm this creature. That amulet seems to be the focus, and is what makes the runes work."

Exactly 1 round....the wonders of being 1st level. But at least it will keep it from getting a full action this round.

Knowledge (local): 1d20 ⇒ 10 Got a 10...best I can do untrained.

"From what I have heard in bard songs, and wild stories at pubs...something that big with 2 heads is an ettin. So...guess it is an ettin."

Randolf will reach up quickly to touch the helmet on his head. A golden glow quickly pulses out toward the ettin. His hand flashes back down to grasp the pommel of the dueling sword, as he quickly moves in to hopefully keep it attention to himself and Torgen, and not the other two.

Standard Action: Spend a point of focus (enchantment) to either daze (if creature is 1 HD or less), or (more likely) stagger the creature. The ettin needs a Will Save DC 15 to resist.
Move action: Move into the room, 3 straight south, and one to the south west. And without a +1 BAB...his sword is still in his scabbard.
Swift Action: Wishing he had one of the many powers that occultists get that are swift actions...but doing nothing on this action.

Unless there is a scream or obvious people in pain or distress, I vote taking our time...I don't want to walk into an ambush, or a trap.

"I can be in the front, or at least in 2nd row. I think Meraina and myself are the ones that needs the sunrod the most."

Randolf has a glow stick in his off hand (left). It should be good for 2 hours.

Eroth, I will attempt another use...do you need more?

UMD to activate wand of CLW: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

UMD to activate wand of CLW: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

UMD to activate wand of CLW: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

HEALING!: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Sir Randolf feels very ashamed....having people seeing that he can't even activate his own item....though finally a light purple light flows from the wand to Eroth.

"Eroth, if you need more healing, I can attempt to get this wand to cooperate..."

Metagaming, is there anybody else that can activate it, or has a better UMD than +5?

"Might as well. "

Randolf pulls out a sunrod from his backpack, snaps it and shakes it to get it to glow, transfers it to his right hand, then pulls out his dueling sword with his left hand.

Looking slightly distressed at what the children said, Randolf asks, "What have you endured, and what about being outsiders. Do you mean outsiders, as in from not from Highdelve, or Outsiders....similar to Feran and his mother?"

"Children. We do not mean to hurt you. Well....I can guess Eroth is quite irritated with the arrow he got in his chest, but I am certain he understands that Feran and Gilda were using you. So, please, tell us about the amulet you took, any interesting think you might know about it? Also, can you tell us more about Gilda?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

"I am Sir Randolf Inerio, perhaps you have hear of me or my family....no...pity. Needless to say, I would consider yourselves our prisoners. However, since I doubt you would want to follow us into a den of possible danger and horror, PLEASE just stay here, and wait for us."

"Maybe if you really don't have anywhere else to go, I might find use of your services. I believe my grandmother in Taldor needs a few new assistants to help clean her library. I could put in a good word for you two with her, or another of my extended family to see if they could use help."
Diplomacy to influence the two: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

"How about we go through what you just said with a fine tooth comb and hopefully help myself and my friends here understand better what happened. Let's see. It sounds like you both are orphans...is this correct? And that there is nothing back at Highdelve...may I ask why you think so? And what of this tiefling and you say his mother? Do you know anymore about them. And what about this amulet you say yo stole....who did you steal it from, and can you give a description of it?"

Sorry....Figure I would get all the questions out for you to answer, but I know that is a huge block of questions.

Seeming a bit irritated...maybe at the 2 kids, maybe at the lack of ability to heal Eroth...Randolf looks to the 2 kids and says, "I specifically remember telling you to drop your bows and you won't be harmed....so....unless you really want to continue with this fight, do so NOW!"

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Just a heads up. After about this time tomorrow, I won't be logging in or commenting over the weekend. Going to go down to a friends convention to do some RL PFS and SFS (get to play my augmented technomancer nuar...can't wait).

I will probably be able to post about this time on Sunday though.

Randolf will quickly check the Tiefling, and as soon as he finds the potion of cure light wounds, he takes it over to Meraina. "Dear lady, please verify that this is a safe thing to give to our poor friend here. I will attempt to coerce my wand into giving him aid also...."

Randolf drops his short sword, and pulls out a small wand with a small amethyst on its tip. He gently touches it to Eroth.

UMD to activate wand of CLW : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
And nothing happens. Randolf looks a bit ashamed, and says quietly "It usually works....let me try it again."

He touches the crystal to Eroth's forehead.

UMD to activate wand of CLW : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
And nothing happens. Very much under his breath he says to the wand, "Really...you are going to make me look bad in front of a pretty lady. Come on....work."

He lightly pokes Eroth with the wand, close to one of the wounds.

UMD to activate wand of CLW : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
The wand lightly glows, almost like it hasn't fully woken up yet.

healing : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
"Let me try again...maybe it is just being stubborn."
UMD to activate wand of CLW : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

At this point, people can tell that Randolf is getting a little frustrated...he just starts poking Eroth with the wand..trying mentally to activate it.
UMD to activate wand of CLW : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

UMD to activate wand of CLW : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

UMD to activate wand of CLW : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

UMD to activate wand of CLW : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

healing : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Bah....my grandmother Octavia said I needed more practice before making this thing work....sad to say I now believe she is right..."

With that he puts his wand back into the little sheath on his belt, and picks up his short sword, looking at it for any nicks or damage.

Eroth that is 6 hp total back from me. I can attempt to heal more if you want me to.

"I have a wand, though I am a bit busy at the moment Torgen, as you can surmise. Also...not certain that I can get it to work....it is dreadfully temperamental."

I.e. I have to UMD it...so about a 25% chance I can get it working...and a 5% chance I will lock it up for me for the day...

"OUCH! You knave.....you cut my outfit!"

5 foot to the east to eventually have a flank.
Standard Action: Attack with short sword

short sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Whiff, whiff....dice gods hate me....

Before heading to deal with the tiefling, Randolf says to the two youths, "My LAST warning. DROP your bows on the ground, or else my allies will be considering you hostile."

Now that his short sword is out, Randolf moves to the tiefling, and attempts to hit him with it.

short sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 to hit
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 damage

Seeing the Tiefling dazed, Randolf realizes he should actually pull a weapon. His left hand goes back down and pulls out the short sword. Focusing his mental energy, he looks at the tiefling once again, and casts a spell.

Move action: Pull out his short sword (hate not having a +1 BAB).
Standard Action: Cast Daze on tiefling. Level 0 spell. DC 14 Will. And then I won't be able to Daze the tiefling for over a minute. But this might give us time to get in range.

Looking over to the two, Randolf says, "May I suggest you actually put your bows on the ground if you want us to consider you a non combatant? If the bows hit the ground, I promise you that I won't attack you."

Running forward, his left hand going up to touch the helm on his head, he says, My friends, we don't have to fight. Stop shooting."

With that the power of the helm activates Cloud Mind on the Tiefling. DC 15 Will safe, and if fail dazed for 1 round if 1 HD or less, if more than 1 HD staggered 1 round.

Move Action:move 30'. Standard Action:Activate Cloud Mind

My fault GM...my Init is only +4 (problem when I grabbed it from my level 6 character...). I have it correct in the bio page, but not in my stats in my scroll top next to my name. It looks like it wouldn't matter on initiative anyway. I will fix it now.

Sir Randolf smiles at the flower being presented to him. "But milady, tis I was the one who should offer you a gift. But I humbly accept this most gracious gift." He takes it from Meraina and slides the stem into the fastening of his brooch.

"A ettin...what...that kind of foul beast here? Say it isn't so? Shouldn't we all be forming up and staying close to each other to assist if needed?". With that, you see that both of his hands go to a sword, the left to grasp the short sword, and the right to hold his hand over the pommel of the dueling sword.

With that, Randolf looks around to see if he can see all of his companions, and also to look for ettin sized tracks.

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 And the dice gods must love me in this incarnation....sigh

Also, where is everybody actually located at in the map? I only see myself and i believe Meraina on the map

Seeing that apparently he has completely dazzled the rest of the group with his amazing entrance, Randolf heads to the shack to see what is inside.

Perception check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

And realizes that his eyes were still a bit gummed up from the ride to Highdelve and the quick run here....

Running up, huffing and puffing--apparently VERY out of breath--a young nobleman runs towards the group. His features are handsome in a Taldan sort of way: strong jaw, hawkish nose and high cheekbones. His hair seems to normally be pretty well groomed--the brown/black hair mid shoulder length,though tied up in a ponytail--though now some of the hair has pulled free of the ponytail, and the slight sheen of sweat has made the hair less dignified.

While his clothing is very nice cut, you can tell by the dust and grime, that he has been traveling on the road a few days without much sleep or time to freshen up. He seems slightly overburdened, carrying a pretty heavy backpack, chain shirt and 2 swords--a normal looking short sword and a very elegantly designed Aldori dueling sword.

"Sorry...(huff, huff)...I am late...", he says as he stops to gasp and wheeze a little. "Aparrently Venture-Captain Drandle Dreng thought it would be humorous to send me to Greyhaven...(huff, huff)...a 2 day ride from Highdelve...(deep breath in, slow exhale out)..with a "Do Not OPEN until you get to Greyhaven" message for me to read when I got there. So, when I got to Greyhaven, I opened my very important letter he gave me, and saw that he wanted me to meet with you all here in Highdelve. That crazy old man, I bet he will love to hear what his joke did to my blood pressure. Well, at least he gave me a quick missive on what he told you all."

"Never mind that shenanigans..quick introductions I guess. My name is Sir Randolf Inerio, expert in all things arcane and occult. Maybe you have heard of my family if you ever were in Taldor. The Inerio's are an offshoot of the Nicodemius family?....Well...no, probably not. 'Tis not important. Again, please excuse my tardiness.

Great. Thanks for letting me in. Let me wake up, get some coffee and probably get hour or so of work in. So assume I will post (and have my bio/character sheet) done in less than a few hours (say by 8:30-9 AM EST).
