T'Krell continues directing until a single thought goes out to the crew, "Now! Fire now!
Unfortunately the shot goes wide.

Can you tell us who needs to roll what? I don't know the range increment for the ballista, so I cannot apply the modifiers. I would guess that it's a straight ranged attack, but I am not sure.
T'Krell reevaluates the situation as the dragons continue to dive. "Everyone who can, let's get the big ballista aimed and primed to fire at the lead dragon. Then Hylar and Kincaid get the multi-ballista ready to hit as many of them as possible while Lyrio and Terexaltherin get the dragon-bane bolts."
Looking up at the incoming flight of dragons, T'Krell searches his memories for any information he can dredge up about them.
He floats over to the controls for aiming the smaller multi-ballista, reaching out with his mind he begins aiming at the incoming targets. "Lyrio, keep on that alarm for now. Hylar, turn that crank there to arm it." He gestures, pointing with his spear.
My original background had siege weaponry involvement, so I spent my one weapon group proficiency on that. I didn't realize I might need two Feats for it.
T'Krell floats above the machinery and first examines it before turning his senses to the outer precincts.
As the officer finishes barking his orders T'Krell's small arm moves in a salute. "Sir! Yes, Sir!" He floats to the others of Eta squad, "Racing or not, we should get ourselves to the fourth wall. We are all soldiers here, no matter what we were before. Though our enemy's forces have been quiet of late, remember that they may strike at any moment."
Sorry, ran up against a character limit in the status bar, had to split skills. As for equipment, I'm not proficient with longbows or any armor, so those are just going to sit in the pack. 1) Melee weapon ->
Character profile has been updated with equipment and modified skills.
GM: I have no problems with that. I can probably move some of those Profession skill ranks around to make a more dungeoneering focused character.
Dotting in. Background:
When word of the Black Horde's siege of Kotelia reached the conclave of the Contemplatives, the thought spread that assistance should be rendered. But concordance was not easily achieved about what that assistance should be. For a decade minds debated, concepts and positions flowing through the conclave like ripples in a pond. Eventually one plan won. A caravan was assembled and crewed. A dozen souls traveled with non-perishable supplies, alchemical reagents, plans for siege engines, and what warriors the Contemplatives could supply. After years of travel they arrived to find the Black Horde disbanded and repairs already begun. Their mission, in a way, accomplished they sold their goods and most began the trek home. Part of their deal was for consultants to interpret the weapon plans. The three youngest of their number remained in Kotelia to help with the assembly of the new siege defenses. T'Krell Voril was one of those three. A mere stablehand when they left, he had been trained on the journey to trade with any they encountered. He had a way with the draft animals and was able to quickly pick up new languages and how to assemble and use the massive weaponry they brought. Since their stay in the fortress city the three young Contemplatives joined the service to add that experience to their own. During the intervening years there has been some attrition to their number. T'Krell is the only Contemplative remaining in Kotelia. The deaths of his companions were a series of mighty blows to T'Krell. Having felt their minds fade while in telepathic communication and their souls move on, he has begun to change. Turning his studies away from the engines of war and to the transition away from the corporeal world. As he has served in the defense of Kotelia, T'Krell has begun to see the material plane as a stepping stone to more evolved state. He seeks the release of the physical body and the limitations of a physical mind. His studies have already born some fruit as he can now shift his corporeal form slightly out of phase making him harder to hit in combat.
I left recent specifics vague you allow better integration with the others.
As he stands Ahrun smiles at Saeri, "Thanks for your time madam. It has been insightful. Hopefully we'll run into each other again someday."
@Ahrun: Sure. XD Let's see... your Wisdom and Charisma are tied for highest, yes? Which of them would you say is your true focus stat? Ahrun sighs and runs his hand over the top of his head. "I like to think I am more compassionate and soulful than manipulative."
The tall monk approaches the gypsy's table. "Would you be willing to read the cards for me? Perhaps they can show a way to make life better in this town." He sits opposite and lays a gold coin on the table.
I have updated my profile with some background information. At this point, my submission should be complete. I may still tweak the wordsmithing, but the concept is set. I would appreciate any comments you might have.
Ok, rather than starting fresh, I did a little re-jiggering and found more inspiration for the background. Trait choices will be explained in the background. Here's the new crunch (and a new name since I realized I was overlapping with Namtar) Crunch: Male human gestalt 1 (monk (unchained) 1/paladin (divine defender, hospitaler) 1) LG Medium humanoid (human) Init +2; Senses Perception +7, Sense Motive +7
Ok, here's the crunch for Demon Lurking's submission. I'm working up a more complete background. |
