Stratacast Latharian's page

Thanks for my first core game! I don't know if I'll stick around in core with how limited the options are, but I'll definitely consider it

"As a new member of the Society, I can imagine they can do without this relic, while it is clearly important to the people that have the most claim to it. Let's give it back and hope to make more valuable, although less tangible, peaceful ties to these people." Stratacast says as he walks over to catch up with Rocky.

Voting to give it back.

Stratacast pulls and uses the wand of longstrider on Rocky to boost his speed up (to 30ft) and then commands his snake to attack. "Well, these guys neither look friendly, nor like the tribesmen we just met."

Stratacast mumbles back to the group, "We bring death? We definitely didn't actually kill any of them right? I thought we took pretty good care of the people that attacked us. The Aspis or Shadow Lodge definitely would have killed them in our place."

Stratacast scratches his chin for a moment, "You know, I think we found a cave with wall cravings related to that story, I'd be happy to tell you where we found it."

diplomacy aid?: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (8) - 2 = 6

maybe there will be some juicy circumstance bonuses for dealing with the tribe peacefully and not killing any of them or that our stories are pretty decent even if the roll isnt.

No one objects to my -2 charisma? Going to post mine so we aren't waiting on me.

Staracast faces the crowd after Farlen, "I'm not much of a public speaker, but I will tell you the truth of why we have come here. A group of rebels from our group, like a smaller clan inside our bigger one, broke away from us and now sees Ranulf the Huscarl King's final resting place so that they may take his axe." he pauses to see if the name has any effect on the crowd, "We have come peacefully, only defending ourselves when we were forced, and even then, we did our best to make sure none of your clansman died in our clashes by bandaging them and giving them shelter with us at night. Our goal is to stop our rebel clan, called the Shadow Lodge, from defiling your ancestors tomb and stealing the weapon that belongs to your people and not theirs."

Raw Charisma check: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (11) - 2 = 9

I also have negative charisma, so I might not be the best choice, but I can certainly try.

Stratacast returns the shake, "I am Stratacast, circle druid from a different land. I've really enjoyed the exotic, and typically massive, creatures of your land. They truly are awe-inspiring."

"Sure! Sorry about those animals, they weren't trying to actively hurt you. It looks like something spooked them and they panicked, making them run down here haphazardly." he says as he heals up Farlen.

Staracast then nods to Hiryla and hold's out his hand for a shake, "Come. Talk. I am Stratacast."

Staracast watches in amazement as the herd of wild animals rushes past. "Nature is powerful isn't?"

climb, ACP: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 2 = 20

Rocky has a climb speed, so he takes 10 for 16. Don't ask me how a snake climbs up a near sheer cliff face!

Stratacast tries checking the wand to determine how many charges are on it as the head down the ravine. If there are more than ten, he'll use one on himself and one on Rocky with spell sharing.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Under Farlen's advice, Stratacast looks to the ground for any signs of the tracks.

survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Playing only using core options is hard, as I've quickly discovered. Druids don't have many core spells and I realized my armor was from ultimate equipment, so I had to downgrade to studded leather. Also realized my plan to by a dragonhide medium armor is flawed because I can't get dragonhide lol.

I might be the only person that can use that wand without UMD, but its personal only, so I can't use it on you guys for you, sorry.

Staracast looks at where Khargrom is pointing, "We should try to approach peacefully. Anyone have a white flag we can fly to show that we mean no harm?"

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

"Well, nothing looks to be of much interest here. I guess we should get some shut-eye after that hard travel before we continue tomorrow." Stratacast says as he picks a spot to lay down with Rocky next to him before tipping his hat over his face.

Stratacast and Rocky head towards the only remaining lizard. Staracast tries to knock it out while Rocky tries to bite it. "I hate to harm animals, but they don't usually give you time to talk it out."

unarmed strike, fatigue: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 1 = 11
non-lethal damage: 1d6 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 1 = 7

Staracast listens to Khargrom's description of the lizards.
knowledge nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Seeing his allies begin dashing through the snow, Stratacast speaks up,"I think I could have lead us through the storm, but getting tired now is probably better than dying in a blizzard, so off we go."

con check, DC 12: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
con check, DC 14: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Hey didn't want to take his allies on the sled? If so, we've got a long way to go with this sled of dead weight.

survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Once outside, Sratacast looks to the sky, "Storms coming from the North. We need to move fast if we want to avoid getting caught in it."

Unless someone intends to try and communicate with the Kellids, Stratacast sets about freeing them.

In the morning, Stracast approaches the Kellid that is awake, making sure not to bring a weapon or shield. He shows his hands are empty and motions his two hands coming apart, to indicate that he means to free them from their bonds, and then pantomimes running out of the cave, to indicate that they should leave. Finally, he hands the Kellid that is awake the rope to the sled so he can pull his two friends.

"Well, lets at least take them to the cave on our map. We'll tie their hands and someone has to keep watch anyway, but we can let them free when they wake up." Stratacast says as he helps use the wand on his allies.

What, you don't want to carry a human sized snake across the tundra? Thanks Khargrom!

Stracast bandages up the wounds on the Kellids before using Khargrom's wand on his snake, "Well, Rocky here owes you one, as do I. What should we do with the Kellids? They will probably die if we leave them like this, but we probably can't carry all of them with us. Maybe we could tie their hands behind their back and wake them up enough to let them walk back home?" he says before facing Amiri, "What do you know about their culture, other than they don't like women? Should we wake them back up?"

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 -6/15
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 +5/15
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 +12/15

Wasn't going to use someone elses wand charges on NPCs. My own wand? Definitely. I also thought only one Kellid was bleeding out still and I figured my second heal check (success) would be enough to keep him alive.

"My thanks. I'll be sure to return the favor as I do more work for the society, sir Dwarf." Staracast says as he taps Rocky with the wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 I'll carry him now that he is stable.

"Now, lets make sure we haven't killed the natives."

heal on kellids: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
heal on kellids: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

"Let me make sure my snake doesn't die first. Does anyone know first aid?" he asks while trying to stem the flow of blood.

heal check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Staracast keeps on trying, undeterred by his lack of success so far.

unarmed strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
non-lethal damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Hoping to end the fight quickly to tend to his beloved snake, Staracast tries to punch the Kellid again.

unarmed strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

I guess the dice roller doesn't like me playing core based on these rolls. I'll switch Life of Toil to something else, sorry.

Going with Ease of Faith instead.

Ease of Faith: Your mentor, the person who invested
your faith in you from an early age, took steps to ensure
that you understood that what powers your divine magic
is no different than that which powers the magic of other
religions. This philosophy makes it easier for you to
interact with others who may not share your views. You
gain a +1 bonus on Diplomacy checks, and Diplomacy is
always a class skill for you.

Stratacast tries to deliver a knockout punch to the Kellid in front of him for underestimating a group of armed adventurers.

unarmed strike, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11
non-lethal damage, dirty fighter: 1d3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Oh yeah, I meant blue instead of purple. It's a dark shade and I'm colorblind, my bad.

Stratacast charges Red and delivers a side kick to the man, trying to knock out and not kill, but he almost falls over as he isn't used to the terrain. "Can't we talk about this?"

unarmed strike, charge: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

He then orders Rockey to bite Purple.

I already rolled, got an 11. It was the third perception check at the bottom of my post. I'll go ahead and roll for Amiri though since I'm on and posting.

perception, Amiri: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"You think its the Kellid we healed? Did he carry a horn?" Stratacast replies to Khargrom.

Did we see a horn on the man?

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Staracast stops walking with the group for a moment, "Horn calls. One from the south first, then returned by one to the north-east...where we are headed."

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Oh, I thought my joining saved you from having a pregen.

I don't think amiri is with us since we have 4 players.

Staracast assesses his wounds, "He won't make it if we leave him the way he his. Should we heal him once more to get him on his feet or carry him to shelter?"

Staracast taps him until he wakes up.

"One of them is alive...barely. I don't have any healing magic prepared, but I can use a healing wand if we have one. Otherwise I can carry him with Rocky's help to a safer location to recover." Stratacast says as he eyes the Kellid's wounds.

As he places the wolverine in the bushes, "Well, it will either recover or get eaten, but such is the risk a predator takes when it attacks stronger prey. I'll let nature take its course from here. Thank you, sir dwarf."

Stratacast commands its snake to heel to prevent it from killing the wolverine. He then checks to make sure the animal isn't bleeding out.

heal, take 10, guidance: 10 + 4 = 14 Someone mind aid anothering that to make it 15?

I swear I saw it in the core legal traits web enhancement list thing, but I can't seem to find exactly where I saw it from. I know I wasn't looking at a normal list of traits though, so I'm not sure how I came across it because I've never taken it before on any character.

I figured it would be easier to state if I didn't have IUS rather than saying I did since if a character is going to punch something, they probably have it, but either way, you are aware of it now.

Well, I would try wild empathy except wolverines can't stop raging once they start so I doubt he would be willing to retreat.

Stratcast moves forward and punches the wolverine on the head, "Calm down, we aren't going to kill you."

unarmed strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
non-lethal damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

If the creature is still standing, he orders his snake to attack as well.

survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Stratcast kneels in the snow and brushes some of it away, "Look, boot-prints in the same direction we are headed. And look at these, looks like one group is following another; different boot-marks and their trail is flanking the main one."

A human man wearing simple furs and leather joins up back in Whitethrone, "I hear the society can get me out of this cold and closer to the moderate forest climate if I helped out. My name is Stratacast, I took the name when I joined a circle of druids, but I'm still pretty new. Part of my training is to see many climates of the world, and I have to tell you, this climate is not my favorite."

***At the current location***

"Looks like some kind of fight. Doesn't look like either side really won either." Statacast says as his snake stays next to or in front of him.

Sounds good; wish I could pitch in there, but 150g and 0pp isn't much to work with.

I can use the wand for you, but I can't afford one yet since this is both my first CORE game and my first CORE character. I'd also love to activate some endure element wands for all of us, but again, I can't possibly purchase it.
