"I'll lend you a hand lad. Is there anything of theirs we should recover to send on to their kin?"

knowledge nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 I imagine it's fairly obvious that the spider didn't do the bludgeoning damage so this would be to try and figure out what else may have caused it

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Ahhhh, that's the good stuff"

"Well I'm not dead yet so my thank to you sir. Maybe if I could borrow that wee stick of yours I could heal myself up a bit" Talon says gesturing towards the wand of cure light wounds

"I'm not sure about 'good as new'. I'm not feelin' like I'm about to keel over any second but I'm still a little woozy."

Next round...
stabilize: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

stabilize: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"Damn that thing was... um, I'm not feeling too good..." Talon collapses to the ground, unconscious.

fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

"How in the seven hells did it get behind me?"

iceblade: 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 - 2 = 23 (power attack]
2d6 + 7 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 + 2 + 4 = 17

"Damn, another creepy crawly! How do regular people survive around here?

Talon designates the spider as favorite enemy and charges.

frostblade: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 18
damage: 2d6 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 13 + 2 = 21

"Well if someone is trying to trick us they've messed up royally. The poor lass can't be in every direction at once, can she!"

survival: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

must be those damn jabberjays ;-)

"It happened to us just up the road. Some creature making the sounds of a child cryin' to lure us into it's tentacles. Let's advance with care."

"Someone is tryin' to fake us out again! Clobbidrin get back here!"

He peers about suspiciously
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
disbelieve: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

survival(tracking): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Talon will put away his bow and draw his frost blade. "The trick is not to try and follow the footprints. You look for where she pushed through the reeds."

He'll also take a couple hits from the wand of cure light wounds
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"What do you remember?"

Following the tracks.

"This one," Talon points to Clobbidrin, "Is missing his dead kin and that one," pointing to the ringmaster, "Is missin' a girl. We've offered to help. You're welcome to come along if your feelin' up to it."

"Ay lad, we'll lend a hand. What took down your kin? Somthin' we should be worried about, no doubt?"

It's a second level spell for a Ranger. the UMD skill says, "Normally, to use a wand, you must have the wand's spell on your class spell list". He can't cast second level spells yet but it's on his class list so he should be able to use a wand of cure light wounds. Right?"

We may as well do a thorough search.

Talon will do a heal check on Gur heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7. "You'll be all right old man. Thanks for climbin' into the cart before passin' out though. Not sure we'd have got you in there without the assistance of a crane."

It's a good thing your not actually dying, with that roll I wouldn't know the difference :-)

He'll pick up all the weapons he'd dropped in the fight before assisting in the search.

Talon drops the dagger, quickdraws his greatsword and attacks.
greatsword: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 17
damage: 2d6 + 7 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 7 + 4 + 2 = 23

That doesn't look quite right somehow. Heck of a confirmation though! :-)

"O.K... I... think...this... is... real!"

knowledge nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Talon will designate this thing as his ranger focus for today, quickdraw a dagger and attack...
dagger: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

"O.K, that ain't right. Everythin' isn't as it seems here...

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 (or +11, not sure if this counts as 'urban')
will (disbelieve): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Talon starts in surprise as Gabbi spews fire, "We're tryin' to rescue the child lass, not barbecue it!"

Haha that's your new player

<grin>

"Hold up... you guys hear that? Sounds like a kid crying."

He'll nock an arrow and move towards the building cautiously.

"Can't say I'm much for ridin'. Or drivin' a cart for that matter. The way I'm thinking the good lord Torak gave me two feet so I could walk." Talon will pause and glare suspiciously at the post above his, "Hey, what's that dot doing there?"

Either character sounds workable. The tiefling might be a bit more difficult to play considering Janivens attitude towards the race. Roleplaying opportunities abound :-)

You can see Cayden Bray's profile Here. If he doesn't work for the campaign I can come up with something else.

Talon will ask around about the journey and about the burghers of Lepidstadt, diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

How about a 20 point buy Aasimar Zen Archer. Cayden Bray

Starting money?

Lol Talon I know who you are I PM'ed you for that game remember?

Of course. But a GM has so much more to keep track of :-)

I'm in. Thanks for stepping up and volunteering to GM! As far as I'm concerned you can go ahead and invite a few more players.

I'm already part of your Council of Thieves game (Garrand) but if you need another character for Legacy of Fire I would be interested.

Thanks for letting us know. It sucks when the GM goes AWOL without a word. Shoot me a PM when you come out of retirement!

"I like the ghost guard idea. Go ahead and send them into the breach lass."

"It makes one a bit reluctant to jump in after him doesn't it. What do you want to do? Pour in a couple barrels of lamp oil followed by a torch?"

Titty sprinkles aside...

"I still don't know if we should fix the well or mine it. Is this stuff real?"

"Try lowerin' a joint of meat in the bucket. That's what they was doin' to attract the beastie."

spend a few days to heal up?

"We still have to arrange to send that demon to the moon, or the elemental plain of phlegm. Whatever."

High fives all around! Except for Gur. An enthusiastic high five might kill him right now :-)

Sorry about that. I misread Thran's post and thought he'd already healed Gur. Talon definitely would have held off until after the healing (as the GM ruled, tks! ).

Talon wipes clown goo from his face, "Damn, I hate exploding clowns."
reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Exploding clowns? We hates the exploding clowns!
Frostblade: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 22
2d6 + 7 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 7 + 1 + 6 = 23

I forgot Thran's inspirational song, doubled for the critical adds 2 more points of damage!

lucky in this instance :-)

"Time to die, drippy" Charge the Mosswater man...
Frostblade: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 2 = 31
confirm critical: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 = 19
damage: 2d6 + 7 + 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 1) + 7 + (2, 5) + 7 = 28

Can you use the feat arcane strike on an already magic item?

I believe so. Here's a LINK to someone asking that on the rules forum.

What do we see?

How do you have +11 Stealth?

4 skill ranks, +3 for class skill, +2 for dex, +2 for favored terrain

"I have a mind to tag along if it's all the same to you."

stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Talon will take a last look down the hole and isn't he glad he didn't take that dump :-)

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Assuming he doesn't see anything alarming he'll slide down the rope.

climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

"Well let's be off then. Can you watch over our friend's body, Vesorianna?"

Talon will tie off a rope to something solid and toss the other end down the hole. He'll take a look to make sure it get's to the bottom then grip the rope and look at the others, "Ready then?"
