Stensan Feyson's page

I too am still interested..sorry for the delay but my feed was not updating for this game. I was enjoying the game and would love to continue!

Sten steps forward to speak to Norro.

"You know me and that my fiance's father was killed by these creatures and their home put to the sword. I need no pay to fight to protect this land from this threat."

He turns back to the rest of the group.

"I do not expect the rest of you to forgo the reward, this will just give you a little bit more each!" he gives a wan smile and steps back.

Stensan heads directly to the Inn to find his fiancée. He sweeps into the common room, scanning all the people who have suddenly gone quiet. He looks and looks, but cannot see Jil. He is almost ready to call out, when the door to the kitchen opens and there she is!

He rushes over to her and gathers her into his arms. He whispers into her ear and holds he tightly as she hangs onto him and quietly cries. The two separate and move off for a more private reunion.

After passing the guards at the gate, and waiting for Sergeant Hersk to finish his questioning, he approaches the soldier.

"Sergeant...my Jilyian and her people are supposed to be here! Where can I find them? Once I have seen her and settled, I will report to you to help with the militia training if you wish."

Sgt. Herks...it is me...Stensan Freyson. This is my Grandmother, Luanna and the others are companions met on the road"

He takes a moment for the sergeant to recognize him before continuing.

"I, unfortunately, bring dire news. We were attacked by a force of hobgoblins on our way here. We had just met up with Del and Smitty when it happened. We were able to defeat the beasts, but both Smitty and Del fell during the conflict. Their bodies are awaiting retrieval at the old ruins about 2 hours down the road. You must gather the militia and prepare for a possible siege!"

It is now that he looks beyond the guards to see the town proper and the changes that have been made.

"I see that you are already preparing...how can I help!"

Can I assume that Sten would know the people here pretty well? Would they know Stensan and his soon-to-be-wife?

Sten's current HP: 37/44

Sten, feeling much better from his Grandmother's ministrations, uses his more mundane skills to help patch up the rest of the party.

Xulgag healing: 1d6 + 4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 5 = 11
Kana healing: 1d6 + 4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 5 = 11

Sten stumbles over to the bodies of the two guards. He drops to his knees, tears flowing down his cheeks.

"You should never have had to face such creatures...you were not ready! I swear to you now that I will not rest until I find out who is behind these attacks and make them wish they had not decided to test us! We will repel these attacks and honor your sacrifice!"

While trying to stand, the warrior wobbles and almost falls back to the ground. Blood from several wounds slowly drip from his body. He opens his healer's kit and begins to remove various tools and bandages. He quickly patches himself up and then turns to his fellow adventurers.

"Any who are wounded, please come here. I can patch you up enough for us to make it to town at least!"

Healing-1d6 + 4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 5 = 12

Current HP: 14/44

Seeing that the priest seems to be bolstering the remaining hobgoblin's courage, Sten snaps his staff back into a longbow and fires off two arrows to silence the creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
CRIT Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 x2 =12

With the enemy's leader lying on the ground right in front of him, Sten swiftly brings the now staff up and with a whispered incantation brings the weapon down on the prone hobgoblin twice in quick succession.

OK, hoping I can do it this way...using my move action to change the bow into a staff and then my bonus action to cast Shilleigh and strike (with advantage) at the prone hobgoblin twice

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 CRIT
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12x2 =24 damage

AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I don't think so...I would want you to bot me if I was holding up the action. That said, what does everyone else think??

With most of the current hobgoblins taken care of at the moment, Sten spins and aims for the hellish hound that is bounding his way.

Hoping to drop the beast before it can get close to him, Sten calls upon his skill as an archer, and instead of nocking a single arrow, he takes two and fires both at the approaching beast. He quickly does this again, having a total of four arrows flying toward the hound.
Moves Hunter Target to Hell Hound. Uses Doubleshot twice (2 points)

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 4 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + (5) + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 4 + 1 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + (5) + 1 = 7
CRIT: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + (2) + 1 = 4
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8
CRIT: 1d8 ⇒ 3

I was not able to see anything saying id on a double shot if it was critical if both shots were critical or not...did it with the damage, but you can remove it as you see fit

Sten immediately snaps his staff up and suddenly silvery elven runes blaze upon the surface and a slivery string with a knocked arrow appears out of thin air.

Before most of the party has even acknowledged the enemy, Sten fires an arrow at the hobgoblins Combat Maneuver: Quick Draw 2 points, Reaction

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 4 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

The next two arrows also leave the bow before most of the party can react to the ambush. Hunter's Target - bonus action

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 4 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (3) + 1 = 7

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 4 + 1 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (1) + 1 = 5
Crit: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + (4) + 1 = 6

Will be attacking the hobgoblins on the right side of the hill

Smiling, Sten turns to speak to his Grandmother.

She is from a traditional family and still goes by the old forms of names, so Jilyian. She is the daughter of a farmer and cattle rancher in Assardoth. She is a great rider and helps her father's ranch hands with the herds. I met her while out scouting the surrounding land from a pack of hyenas. She had followed a wayward calf into a wadi and was on her way out when several of the beasts showed up. I still remember her sitting on her horse, the calf tied and lying over the horse's neck as she drew and released arrow after arrow at the hyenas. By the time I got there she had killed 2 of the beasts, and between the two of us we were able to kill 3 more before the pack turned tail and ran. I accompanied her back to the ranch, where her father offered me a job riding the outskirts of his ranch keeping any harmful beasts from his cattle. Jilyian would occasionally join me on these trips, and soon we realized we had much in common. That was just 2 short years ago...now we are planning for our lives together!"

Coming up on the group that they had been following since about mid-day, Sten was very surprised to see Smitty and Del, both guards from Drellin's Ferry.

"Well I don't know about the Ole' part of it, but I am sure you can hear the truth in my voice, old friend."

Stensan steps forward and offers the guard his hand.

"What does Captain Anita have the two of you doing out here? I didn't realize the town guard acted as merchant guards as well!"

He laughs and introduces the others in the little group.

Sten walks beside the Orc and nods in agreement.

"Fine weather has made this trip much more enjoyable than the last tie I was traveling this way!"

He remembers the trip as if it were just yesterday. It was shortly after he had tracked down his Grandmother and was still reeling from that most uncomfortable encounter. Again, like yesterday, he can remember his first sight of the woman whom he was descended from, out in the forest by an old cabin he had remembered his mother telling him about. The resemblance to his own mother was remarkable, but where her 'elven' traits were somewhat muted, Grandmothers were sharply defined!
The introduction had been harder than he had expected. He had not envisioned the complete lack of interest and the otherworldly aura she gave off. She was so distant, like he did not really exist to her as a person, but more as a concept that she was forced to accept. Perhaps all "true' elves were like this, but her detachment had taken him aback. It was not that she was hostile to him...she seemed to exhibit no emotions at all. And now, here he was, traveling with her to the town he called home, and introducing her to his friends and soon-to-be wife, Jilyian.

"It was during that first trip that I settled in the small village of Assardoth, just a day or so travel out from Drellin’s Ferry...and met my Jilyian!"

Yikes!!

oops I forgot to get a feat....will add now!

Sten here and ready to make the acquaintance of his, somewhat scary Grand Mother!! lol

Just need to add some equipment and should be ready to go!!

Ok have the better part of my background done. Luanna do you want to take a look and see what you think? His relation is the son of your daughter...I gave her a name if that is ok...I did not see one in your

This is Daniel. Here is the crunch for my submission...still need to work on the fluff.

@Luanna - What are your thoughts of Sten being a related...perhaps a grandson??
