Thumps Windrover's page

Its it the same adventures Bhoors is running in your other game?

I understand. I am certainly enjoying your AL game.

Are you thinking of rolling this into an AL game or just letting it go and recruiting when you are ready to start something else.

Thumps draws his rapier and stabs at the Yak hoping to catch it while engaged with so may targets.

Rapier Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Rapier Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

He withdraws his bloody rapier, chants a few words and sarcastically warns the Yak, "ICOMING" as the anvil of Tymora coalesces and drops toward him.

Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Damage Tymora's Anvil: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"Maybe next time make the snarky comment following the success."

Con Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 Woot. Is there a lessor effect or am I good to go.

"I know it was not why we came but I find it hard on the heart that there are slaves both here and below. We must do something."

When Thumps notes that others seem to suffer no ill effects and that it is souring the moods of our hosts he will eat food that he has seen other people eat and not behave irregularly.

Thumps grabs a tomato, a piece of cheese and starts to juggle hoping to entertain the Yakfolk.

Perform: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

When they are later left alone. "What's the plan?"

I think the telepathy only works one way. I can talk to you. We can assume its a whisper maybe.

Thumps eyes wide looks over at Jax, Sorry should have been more clear. The slaves warned us not to trust these Yak people. In particular the mentioned a 3 headed monster. That's all the details I have.

Bold Italics without "" is telepathy unless someone has a better system.

Thumps answers Illuvin. So you have known other Ghostwise. Cool I will let them know. I spent so long away from other of my kind I don't usually do this often creeps people out. Too intense I guess its faster to think words than se them you know. Oh yeah let me talk to the others.

Thumps looks at the gifts suspiciously.

insight: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Thumps takes time to warn everyone, Hi its a me Thumps. Keep your cool these guys aren't to be trusted. They can change shape and they have some sort of 3 headed monster. Apparently the slaves don't like it here but are more concerned about slaves . . . down below . . . Just be ready.

history: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Never heard of Yakfolk. The sound peaceful. But they look to keep slaves and guard the doors for fire giants, not known for their good works. I mean if these guys are right on the Fire Giants door step they are likely down with whatever mayhem the giants are cooking up."

Does the bridge between the 2 sections of the village look to be the only way to get from one side to the other.

"That bridge. I wonder if things go south. That might be able to cut off some of their defenders from getting in the mix. Or at least slow them."

Thumps asks what Harshnag knows about Duke Zalto and the Fire Giants.

When walking back to the ship Thumps aimlessly mentions, "I think 'Duke Zalto and the Fire Giants' would be good name for a pub crawl act."

"The ledge up above. I think he was thrown from there. . . .doubt he was walking with that hole in his head."

Thumps looks up trying to figure out where the person came from. "Well that's unsettling."

Thumps smiles at Molok's honoring of the warriors.

"Perhaps the future of this tribe is brighter than its past."

Thumps looks to the woman most hysterical about the unconscious boy. "He was brave and he will live."

Thumps says to the others guarding the beef types who are trying to carry the gong. "We need to get moving."

"Well there's rough luck. Kill an evil prick and get cursed for it. Oh well that's the dice."

Thumps chuckles, "Negotiating?" He shrugs and checks his hand crossbow is ready.

"We can all behave. We'll tagalong incase they feel the need get nasty. They've a reputation. They might have more than just the one white dragon as a pet."

On Board the Ship Jamming with Illuvin

Thumps lays out a light rhythm and invites Illuvin to improvise over the lively chord progression. He starts to sing. You know because Jazz improvisation is big on Faerun.

Performance: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

He is comfortable with performance but falters and looks at Illuvin often smirking at the man's more practiced skill. He croons a fun whimsical song the icy air has been hard on his throat which cracks some of the high notes hard.

Just to be clear as many of us are in other 5e games together. My Bard rolled even lower when he sang, my sorcerer rolled a 19. Which is hilarious.

"Once, I loved a sailor
Once, a sailor loved me
But she was not a sailor
that sailed on the wide blue sea
She, sailed in an airship
Sailed like a bird on the wind
And every evening at midnight
he would come to my window and sing

One night while sailing away from the crowds
we passed by the Milky White Way
While idly drifting, watching the stars
she asked if I'd name the day
Just by the Dipper, I gave her my heart
the sun shone on our honeymoon
We swore to each other, we never would part
and we'd teach all the babies this tune."

For the record its shameless plagiarism of Natilie Merchant

Hope everything works out okay Melgrom.

Thumps shrugs, "Its either that or we have Harshnag tap you on the noggin and you wake tomorrow far from this place thanking the gods in turn for the swaying planks of the airship."

Molok looks back up at the floating boat, then down at the miles of wilderness, they would otherwise need to travel.

"First Goliath to fly you say??", he says to Thumps.

With a great sigh and more than a little trepidation, the stoneman mounts the ladder and climbs with the others onto the vessel...where he immediately goes inside and positions himself nearest the centre of the ship as he can.

Thumps spreads his arms like he is offering his idea like its a tangible thing. "Long have the Goliath run the mountain trails where men would feint. Your elders have climbed to touch the stars but even the highest mountain cannot escape its roots. But Molok sails higher with a few steps of the gang plank and the roots are severed with a slip of the moorings."

Thumps turns back and looks a Molok "Never seen a Goliath shrink back when others leap. Its only a little higher than the peaks your people love. Besides, you will be sung of as the first Goliath to do so."

Once aboard and traveling Thumps finds Illuvin a kindred spirit. He takes to juggling, gaming and comparing licks on the lute.

Thumps looks up at the others. "A notorious evil red dragon has offered us a ride in his devout cultist crewed air ship. . . . I know I am supposed to say no but Tymora's Blessed Luck . . . AN AIRSHIP." He looks around, "For the greater good?"

Thumps can't stop smiling.

Thumps looks at the armor. "It might need to shrink real small."

Thumps listens, "Perhaps it would do well to ask which Urthgardt tribe would have the most relics or the right relic."

history Famous Urthgardt/Giant conflicts: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Trying to figure which tribe might have the most giant relics.

The ghost raises a spiritual eyebrow "A rogue cleric, you say? Interesting. I am Eigeron.

"Good to meet you. Well I am in good standing with my church so not rogue in that sense. I am more of an agent of encouragement to those goodly folk who need it and a thorn in the side of those wicked who need the other side of the coin."

He listens to the rest of Eigeron's sad story. He hangs back and shrugs as the companions discuss questions, "I came at Elain's behest knowing your mission vital to understanding the chaos the gi . . . the chaos of the late unpleasantness. I think you who have walked this road longer would know better what to ask."

Now I get it thanks.

Is the ghost the Oracle?

Oh thank you for the Anvil icon its a nice touch. Bonus for it looking like its falling.

Thumps looks around. "So do we melt the ice read the runes? Maybe."

Dex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

"Ouch."

He takes cover before any further attempts are made. When it opens, "Thank Tymora."

oooooowwww

Is it like Pokemon "gotta chatch em all"

Thumps offers "At the moment I am sneaky and I can stab things. I am about tapped for spells. I could put some of that damage to use if needs be at least before we rest. We can make the decision of spoils or roll the dice when we have a moment to split any gains."

If that could be done I might touch it to my buckler or whatever. Its a cool item. I think it would likely be best used by someone whose weapon skills are needed every round. If lots of folks want it in character we can cast lots. I know a cleric rogue who would happily let luck decide.

Very cool item. Does it work as a dagger or is that just its size? It was in a giant's pack. Is it sized as a giant sized dagger or our size? Also who in character knows how super "Elsa's Shard" is.

"These lads might need a good burial. I can't imagine being interned in a Frost Giant sack is high on anyone's funerary arrangements. We can hold on to the remains and the ale and drink to the fallen when we get a respite."

Classist na. Its good to expect people to play to trope.

"Harshnag do you know anything about this guy." He looks at the statue returning the boulder to its starting position. [b]"Also are we going to be interupted by the rock again.

Thumps looks at the cloud giant statue and at the collapsed mountain.

Insight: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Is the "statue" heroically posed or does it look more awkwardly caught mid-spellcasting. ie Cloud Giant turned to stone.

Can I not cast it then After the fights and heals I am about tapped. Unless Elain and Molok used Hit dice rather than needing healing.

Thumps sends up a prayer for Harshnag.

Cure Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

"If we stop for a few minutes I can do more."

What game is it I might be interested.

Dex: 1d20 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 3 = 14
Acrobatics if allowed: 1d20 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 3 = 16

Thanks Thumps, saves me an HD

Before the short rest you had 5 HP. I offered thinking you would need more healing than the Hit Dice could restore. If you have Hit Dice I would prefer to save the spell slot being that I am not a 7th level caster I am only 4th so those 1st level spells still burn through a big part of my utility. That's why I asked in character how you were doing after the short rest. Its not a big deal. When I cast the spell it looked like you still only had 5 hit points.

Thumps, that takes 2 rounds.

I know with my vacation and the huge post rate here things are out of whack. But right after we killed the Rehmoraz (that can't possibly be spelled right). We spoke of taking a short rest. At the time Elain had 5 hp so I had asked how she was doing right at the rest ended. I don't remember of missed and answer. Nor did I see anyone "use" Hit Die. So I assumed she was still in need of Hit Points. Molok later made the point that he was still horrifically burned by the Rehmoraz. So I cast twice. My intention for that to fall right after the short rest.

Thumps says a prayer of healing over both Elain and Molock.

Cure Wounds Elain: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Cure Wounds Molock: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Thumps looks to Elain after the short rest. "You still look dinged around a bit. How you doing."

OCC question do you need to be healed Elain.

Tomorrow morning I will be heading to Disney World for a few days. I don't know how much posting time I will have.

Round 3

Thumps launches another bolt toward the creature. And the anvil drops again.

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Crossbow Attack Advantage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Crossbow Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (2, 1) = 11

Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

You are right it is +5.
