Thordan Silentail The Neverfail's page

Sensing the battle is shifting, Thordan started his dance and singing again.

Mess with me...you die like the rest!!

Bardic performance of inspire courage

Recieving the heavy attack Thordan feel unto the ground.

Furry Paws....Lady Fiona I am sorry....

In fear he takes a total defensive action.

Hi I will be away for a week for vacation and will have limited access to internet. Just some heads up and will try to post once a day.

Bearing a rare look of seriousness on his face, Thordan prance and skip from stone to stone and strikes at the foe Thorgar just attacked.

Moved to P14 beside Thorgar

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Thordan wiggles his furry backside at the intruders.

Does this look blooming to ya you mashed up green slimy face midgets!!

He then started singing and dancing to a tune that is rather comedic.

The Distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents the ability from working. For every three levels a bard has attained beyond 1st, he can target one additional creature with this ability.

Sorry, well inspire courage then. +2 competence bonus on MYSELF only.

Thordan checked his mickey mouse limited edition flick flak watch

check

Thogri!! Can you help me break this rock?? i would like a piece for fiona!!

After huffing and puffing Thordan gave up sitting panting on he grass.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

He noticed a small pebble and decided that a pebble in this area is bound to have rubbed off some of the magical effects and put it in his backpack with a satisfied grin.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14

Woot

It looks like its a spell very close to something Prancelin taught me when he mentioned about survival tactics. It seems to endure elements these stones...intresting!! Can i take home one??

Thordan looks at the stone inquisitively trying to budge it to put it in his backpack like his ratfolk tinkering nature.

Ohhhh me me me!!! Prancelin taught me this.

Thordan shut his eyes shut real tight as he twitched his whiskers squeaking.

Cast Detect Magic

Ahhhh...feels great Thorgi!!!

Thordan lie flat on his back movind all 4 of his limbs up and down brushing across the warm lush grass as if he is swimming in it.

However it's too late as Thordan landed in the middle of the green circle.

Do you think it's warm inside? Reminds me of home. Furry paws...

Thordan ran forward abruptly towards the lush green circle.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Survival: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5
Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7

I believe its the opposite of south...might be not so opposite but a little to the opposite of south and a little to the west I think, at least that's what the wise elf pointed Mr Leaf.

SM: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Mr Big Blue Monster, since you allow us a question may I ask you one then? Yup see I am a small mouse but a brave one at that and I have a wonderful lady that I serve by the name Lady Fiona. She is the kindest soul on this world and if you do meet her you, you will like her too. But sickness took her and her father who is a nice gentlemen even though he snores and farts when he talks but really I truly believe he is a kind man and has this room with a lot of trinkets and stuff you can play with but though sometimes he scolds me I still try to sneak in during the midnight hours so ssshhhhh....but anyway furry paws...Lady Fiona is sick and he said that a certain Baby Gaya or Yaga holds the key to her cure...so my question is....For you know where she, if not can you guide us to someone who knows or assist us in getting this Harpoon?? Thordan rattled off in a breath obviously intimidated by the blue monster.

Yea me too ;) btw may I know you gift us 3 questions. We can ask anything???

And I too. Do not worry Thorgar, remember Linnorm's end?? If things get out of hand we can always ask the scary tavern lady with her Huge axe to help.

Awesome!! Let's do that again!!

Thordan laughed obviously thrilled by the entire events.

Acrobatic: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

SM: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Thordan manages to balance the bridge due to his light weight as he scampers behind Thorgar.

I don't like the blue man Thorgi...I sense he is up to no good...looks like he wants this bridge to break apart.

Just when he finishes his sentence a floorboard broke and Thordan fell through the crack!

Thordan walks up to Big Blue and sniffs him.

That was a wise decision...I will spare you life today....maybe stop scaring people like us...here...

Thordan digs out a bell and hands over to Big Blue.

Next time ring the bell for passer by attention. Lady Fiona taught to be polite at all times

Thordan scamper to join Thorgar after passing him the bell.

the board's is fixed for me.

Upon hearing Thorgar mentioning the word mouse.

Thordan puffed up his chest

Hey you big blue ugly whatever you are!! I am Thordan Silentail the Neverfail!! I lead an army of 500 hundred mouse and they are just right behind me. They come in many colors such as brown, orange and the feared black mouse!! So let us pass and I will spare your life!!

bluff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Halt!! Who goes there?? I demand you to tell me who you are in the name of Lady Fiona!!

Thordan squeaks at the stranger.

Mine is all messed up

Oh Lady Angel I have some warm clothings!!

Thordan digs out a suit of cold weather clothes and puts them on.

Furry paws!! This feels like Lady Fiona's comfy bed!

Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Ahhh chooo!!!

Thordan sniffles.

Squeak!!

Lady Angel can I have the fur please? I would like to make a nice scarf for Lady Fiona when I return.

Thordan perked up his ears

Thorgi! i hear water. I believe it will be a good place to set up camp there?

Sigh...made me run all the way there...

Thorgi!!!!! I am here........eh? I screamed it to death?

Thordan can charging in, puzzled when he sees Thorgar cleaning his blade.

Thorgi I distracted it right?

Thordan beamed as he slash the dead spider once before cleaning the blade on the fox fur imitating Thorgar.

Thordan is still charging screaming at the top of his lungs...however realising that it is still a distance away, he lowers his scream to a lower pitch before raising it up by a few notches when he is nearer to Thorgar.

Move 40 feet towards Thorgar

oh....

Thorgi!! I am coming!!!

Thordan leaps up and draws his scimitar while charging towards the beast

In the name of Lady Fiona!!! I command you to release your hold fiend!! Nobody bullies my friends and get away for I never fail!!!

Moves 20 feet towards Thorgar

Thorgi....yawn...i...wil...help.....

Thordan fell into a deep sleep as he lap beside the dying embers..

Come on do not be silly it's just right ther.......

Thordan frowns before sniffing the air around.

Hhmmmmm Thorgi did you pass wind and blow me away from my bed??

Furry paws..it's gone??

Thordan recovering from its state of trance.

Yeah i guess it would be helpful.

will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Thordan spoke his head and saw Thorgar and Mr Leaf branishing their torches. Following suit he chases after Thorgar to geysers a torch

will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The wave hit Thordan in his excited state. The change was immediate as he stared blankly towards the light.

[b]Burn evil light!![//b] Thordan squirls high pitch voice obviously excited at this new development.

Thorgi you ok?

I am just a blur mouse...

Oh i thought i am in defensive position. sorry

Seeing Thorgar attacking the Wisp, he narrowed his eyes and twitched his whiskers.

Thorgi I am coming for you!! He brandished his small scimitar as he charges towards the wisp standing beside Thorgar slashing against the wisp.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17(Charge Bonus)
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

It's more accurate to say that after the wolf acts in the 1st round, the whole party then gets to go as a unit.

The only thing that gets wonky is the round count for things like spell durations.

For that small abnormality, I err on the side of what's beneficial to the PCs.

So do we roll initiative for round 2 then? That means you roll for all of us? Sorry I am still a little thickheaded. And...if our intiation is before the enemy do we act first?

Ok, so using the Wolf example above-

The group is being attacked by a Wolf. I roll Perception and Initiative for everyone.

Lets say Thorgar rolls high on Init but fails his perception check.

Thordan rolls low on Init, but makes his Perception check.

The order is-

Thorgar
Wolf
Thordan

-Surprise Round-
1. During the surprise round, Thorgar is unable to act and is flat footed due to having failed the Perception check. He's quick to respond, but that doesn't help him in this case since he didn't see it coming.

2. Then the Wolf goes taking a single standard action (probably Charging). Since it is acting before Thordan, Thordan is also Flat Footed (but for the opposite reason as Thorgar).

3. Thordan takes a Standard action and is no longer Flat Footed.

-Round 1-
1. Thorgar takes a Full Round action and is no longer Flat Footed.

2. The Wolf takes it's action.
-The Break-

Now, at this point, things progress in a loop. Everyone is engaged, not surprised and able to take full actions. It no longer matters which order anyone posts in because after the wolf goes in round one, it does not get to go again until both Thordan and Thorgar have acted.

They may coordinate their actions in the Discussion thread, choosing the most beneficial order they like. Once they have both acted, it is the Wolf's turn again.

Actions happen in the order they are posted. This helps cut back on the need to retcon anything.

Please note that this is as complex as it gets. I will always try to make it so the party acts as a block. I've found that is the best way of speeding up PBP combat.

So we ro'll initiation once only cos in round 2 the wolf acts first and then all the other players act etc.

if it's round based does it mean that the initiation is still in order but the GM will mix our actions in according to that order. for example if the order is like Thorgar wolf Thordan. we both post our actions to hit wolf. but if Thorgar blow was sufficient to kill wolf the the wolf skips it turn and maybe Thordan can post another action through ooc or GM may logically apply the attack on another enemy?
