Fine by me, I’m in no rush for a bloodbath.

Ah ok, hope the training goes well.
I say no, one initiative check, the idea for the map sounds fine, and if he isn’t posting then he probably isn’t interested or has moved past this whole thing.
That’s fine by me, I’m curious to see who ends up standing in the end.
Shame, hopefully everything’s alright.
Any update on the level up?
Finally got around to updating and leveling up thadeus, got really side tracked with a bunch of other stuff in real life.
With the shield of the sun, it’s hard to wield both the great sword and the shield. I may look into being a bit of a switch hitter dropping the shield when I need to attack.
Oooo that’s a hard trade, I think I’ll find a way to work with my shield haha.
Zorgax since you don’t want the bastard sword would you be willing to give it to Thadeus? Since wielding a greatsword and a massive shield is mad hard.
Just saw all this was in the field the last 4 days. But like the level up and the appreciation for my acid washed armor, definitely thought it was amusing. Probably cleaned off all the soot front eh lightening.
This storm is some unnatural force, and I did not get sleep, I was awoke by a bolt of lightning. On top of me. he stands there looking miserable, his armor soaking and newly cleaned by the acid.
As Thadeus stands under the awning visibly angry from a wasted night of sleep, and the smal burns on his face from the acid he sees these massive bolts of lightning hit the little shelter. He backs up closer to the cave, but not past Zorgax. He mutters to himself this is no ordinary storm, he’s pushing us into the caves. when he hears the roar and the wind howl with it says, we’re all going to die here.
Thadeus wakes up, in pain and throws his equipment on, trying to use it to block some of the rain. Once he gets his gear on he runs toward the entrance with the others in it. Sprinting inside to try and avoid the searing pain.
As Thadeus is kicked he looks up with angry eyes and a sleepy voice. He looks at the half orc and rolls over. He’s tired and doesn’t bother trying to get out of the rain, he’s soaked and it’s gonna take a while to dry, he’s also been soaked through and through before.
Thadeus gets up shaking the soot off of his smoldering beard, he runs over to the closest tree and begins to take off his armor as fast as he can screaming at the heavens. “This is my just reward! Worship and service and I receive a bolt from the heavens! Oh what great and just Gods we have!” He channels his anger and what divine power resides in him, to heal himself. As he does this his eyes begin to glow slightly, with divine might.
Once he has his armor off he leaves his sword next to the tree and sprints over and grabs his things and brings them back to his new spot next to the tree. Where he tries to find a less wet spot and sleep.
No apology needed, things like this are far more important than a PbP game. It’s good to see you back and great to hear that you’re getting better. And I’m happy to continue on, we haven’t even had a PC death yet ;). On a more serious note if you ever need to reach out feel free to message me, it may not be much but if it’s all i can offer, and sometimes that helps.
Thadeus sees Walay disappear into his quarters and looks around. I’ll find a place to bed down myself, I wake early so I can watch. he walks over looking for a large stone to sleep on. He lays out his gear onto the massive sun shield and begins to relax eating dinner and prepping for sleep. He goes to bed pretty soon once things get dark and if everything seems ok. He sleeps without his armor on, though he wakes up an hour and a half before sunrise. He wakes up and immediately puts his armor on them preps himself muttering a prayer to gorum to continue to fight and survive.
Thadeus goes and grabs the ring of blinking and the sun shield hefting the shield on to his back and putting the ring onto his hand.
Yeah that makes sense, and that’s very cool.
Ahhhh ok, I’m just finishing up ROTC and commission in a little over a month or so. I’ll be national guard though not active.
Is your commission through OCS, green to gold, or just plain ROTC?
Funny how many military folks you see around, I’m a 19A armor officer
Keep your head up, it will get better, and no worries about the updates. We can entertain ourselves haha
Thadeus shrugs, “That seems fair then, I would just like to have a backup blade if need be, I chose the better of the blades I could use. You get the bastards sting I get the ring of blinking sound like a fair deal? My earlier statement still stands with the sun shield, and I put my lot in for the holy sword, for lack of a better option.” he looks to Walay next “ What metal is the small blade I’m curious if it compares to the cold iron of the holy blade.”
Thadeus apathetically looks at the Paladin as he glares at him, unashamed of his comments and for stoking the fires. He follows the group over to the collection of items. He follows a little bit away from the group of three next to him. As he gets there listening to the items be spoken of he chimes in, “if no one objects I’ll take the bastard’s sting, another blade is always useful even if I have no use for its other abilities, and if nobody wants the sunny shield, I will carry it, why waste a good tool. I would also like to see this ring of blinking, it seems very interesting.” . Upon hearing the confession of plotting to kill gorthug Thadeus looks almost like he expected this, as trickery comes from those with sharp minds. “ Well that is something then, though understandable bloodshed seemed but a moment away just a few minutes ago” . He then looks to Gorthug unsure of the new relative peace that has happened.
Thadeus listens to the speech of rashed, now more calm and what seems as slightly let down by the stopping of combat. As rashed finishes his speech he puts his sword into the ground and claps “This man right here is quite smart I would say, he knows what’s best for survival.” smirking he stands there looking at what he full well knows is a power keg waiting to explode.
Thadeus sees the fighting escalate even more with Zorgax’s charge. He smiles as they fight. He does love the carnage of a good charge executed perfectly. He nods as Walay talks to him agreeing and let’s the wizard disappear away without so much as a look in his direction. He watches intently as Zorgax hovers over gorthug waiting for a gruesome coup de grace. When he sees rashed intervene he shouts out “Oh do let them have they’re fun, they would wish to kill each other even if it wasn’t apart this maniacs plans”
Thadeus watches the fight eyeing the ensuing fight with interest. He had seen orcs fight before. He had fought them aswell quite a bit in his time with the army. He always respected their fighting skills, but thought that they wasted so much time trying to see who was the biggest and meanest. He looks on with a bemused look on his face and the fight for superiority happening. He mutters to Walay near him, as he hefts his greatsword onto his shoulder.
Walay:
“I agree one less hot headed orc would definetly be a boon, they’re both far to dangerous and agressive it seems to live with the other around” After seeing the gorthug shoot his normally calm look changes a little as he feels an excitement build, he doesn’t know why but bloodshed always have him a rush. “the question is who would be the better to survive, of the two? Both have their advantages. I think helping Zorgax may be in our better interests. He has more to offer than the other one”
Thadeus backs away from what was a close group watching about 20 feet away and waiting to see what happens. As he gets away he casts a spell on himself. Afterwards he mutters a few words and points at Walay as descretely as possible.
Walay hears this:
”I could tell you withheld information, unlike Zorgax I was wise enough to know there is a place and time to talk about it like civilized persons. You did take the loot ergo it is yours to share as you see fit. As I can see, a man of your intelligence knows how to survive, and realizes that these orcs don’t like you. I will help you, if you help me, I know a survivor when I see one.” He then draws his greatsword and leans on it, surveying what may soon be a battlefield.
Thadeus stairs at the thin human speaking trying to read his mannerisms. He’s seen this type of person before, it reminds him of a man who belonged to his company of soldiers. He always did think he was smarter than everyone, and that’s what made him so dangerous to everyone else.
“Well I had decided I’d do my best to drink myself into a stupor, after a failed incursion into what turned out to be a haunted mansion. After I had my night and went to bed I woke up being dragged out of town. I tried to break free and killed one of them, but then the other four jumped on me and beat me senseless. And now I’m here.” He gets a distant look for a second thinking about it again, replaying the events in his head. “Seems like just my luck, no matter what, I seem to find only misfortune it seems. Whoever is doing this it seems is quite a powerful man.”
My bad I forgot to check the discussions, missed all of this and Thadeus doesn’t channel due to the archetype but can fervor positive energy. Sorry to hear about your basement I can relate I’ve always had water coming in my basement during storms but never that bad, hopefully insurance can help cover some of the damage.
Thadeus is deep in thought leaning on his greatsword in the group when he hears his name called and walks over the group Zorgax. At a normal voice “I could use some extra equipment, I’m definitely lacking it seems, compared to everyone else. ”
“I didn’t happen to get anything, but I’m sure the others have things that they need figured out.” he cracks a smile at the joke that emanated from nowhere. “I go by Thadeus, maybe after this is all over it’ll still matter.”
Thadeus gives off a strong aura of chaos with a lack of good or evil, which he doesn’t care for to much. He feels that the chaos more follows him than comes from within him. “Yes let’s please drop all this talk of souls, we have more important things to attend to. Like trying to survive, how does the idea of waiting to enter the tomb till late tonight or tomorrow sound to everyone? Do you like that idea Mr Invisible, I assume you would want time to get used to your new trinkets? ”
Thadeus scowls, then looks to the human I heard you speaking of seranrae, you showed quite the prowess in battle, though I don’t know if you’ll be redeeming any enemies this adventure.”
Thadeus listens eyeing the group around him with a look of interest. After hearing gorthug talk he says “I too know gorum though on different terms. I fight and I survive, I’m able to cast some spells and aid with a little bit of divine help. I can heal with focused touch and bless weapons with magic. But I don’t know if we should kill someone even if they are weak, even the weak aid us testing the waters.... so to speak”
Thadeus looks at the the orc talking to him with the warcat and looks just bored with the talk, “Well we know that somebody is watching us and wants us to kill ourselves either fighting each other, in this dungeon, or if we don’t do either, themselves. Obviously no one wants to be here, or be manipulated but we need each other to get through the dungeon. I say we worry about killing each other till the end, we’re gonna need as many people as possible to get through this dungeon.” looking around for the invisible man that talked earlier and blew up he shouts out “That includes you Mr invisible man with all your trinkets and baubles”
Thadeus looking around at the dead creatures, looks cheated and angry that the creatures died so easily ending his sacred weapon ability . He walks over to the table of items and begins to look for anything that might be useful. He priorities items in the order of; weapons, rings, amulets, and then other random material.
status: Bulls strength, iron skin, and deadly juggernaut are still active for another 7 mins] 7/9 Blessings Sacred weapon 6/7
Thadeus seeing the horde sprinting and closing fast, steels himself uttering a few prayers before combat, mumbling to himself “Gorum bless my blade so that I may continue to fight and win glory” along with other prayers. His sword begins to glow a sickly shade of red as if it hungers for blood. And then bursts into flames just before he attacks. Round 4 He uses his destruction blessing on himself.
statuses: Bulls strength +2 to attack and damage- 7 mins and change Ironskin +5 AC, and FF -7 mins and change Deadly juggernaut -7 mins and change Destruction Blessing +4 to dam, 8 rounds left War Blessing, +1 AC, and TAC 9 rounds left Sacred Weapon 7 rounds left
Thadeus helps himself up using his Greatsword and looks around. Seeing the approaching horde of monsters he smiles “I always loved a good bloodbath” he takes a step forward and raises his massive greatsword onto his shoulder.
status: 7 mins and change of bull strength, iron skin, and deadly juggernaut
+2 to hit and damage +5 to AC 4 HD Kills count towards juggernaut spell
mythic's entry: Thadeus Warpriest of Gorum
Saw this and figured I'd throw my hat in the ring, since I've always wanted to try kingmaker. Reworked bilton from another entry, minor changes to backstory and level. Any questions feel free to ask.
Bilton Stradavor aasimar, primalist bloodrager 2.
answers:
Rollplay vs roleplay, as a bloodrager I'm going to beat things with my sword and take hits, eventually buffing myself and maybe do some evocation. As an aasimar nobleman with an anger issue I plan on playing to the two different aspects of his personality being a good person with a angry side who is trying to prove himself to everyone and himself while trying to make Taldan great again. Mechanically I'll probably stay a bloodrager for entirity of his career, though I'm up for ideas. I'm in the EST and I'll primarily be able to post in the evenings. I don't have any experience with pbp but I've been playing f2f regularly with a group for the last 3 years. I've also been a long time lurker on the forums and finally decided to make my own accoumt. I currently am not in any other games and am just looking for a start my first game! Good luck to everyone and thanks for the consideration! |
