Thuradin Drackenforge's page

I had mentioned Thuradin earlier but he seems to be off the list

I have a Dwarven Warpriest of Torag I'd like to submit. He was previously in a Giantslayer campaign that quickly fizzled out.

I'm going to throw Thuradin's hat into the ring. Thuradin Drackengorge, dwarven Warpriest of Torag.
4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 1) = 11; 1d6 ⇒ 5=13
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 3) = 13; 1d6 ⇒ 5=14
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 1) = 9; 1d6 ⇒ 5=11
4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 6, 5) = 21=16
4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 5) = 10; 1d6 ⇒ 3=10
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 5) = 19=15
That's a 20 point buy, so I don't think I'm going to press my luck and I'll go with the 25 point buy.

Starting gold: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 4, 4) = 22=220 gold

I'll throw Thuradin's helm into the ring.
Thuradin Drackenforge, Dwarven Warpriest of Torag. I'll need to work on the background but should get it done in the next day or so.

I'm good without the PFS credit as well.

Thuradin arrives at the railing and quickly takes in the scene. Uncoiling the sounding rope, he whirls it over his head a bit before throwing the weighted line out to Belir. Cursing as the line lands short, he quickly reels it back in to try again.
Attack roll: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Sorry, I seemed to skip over Thozar's climb to the crow's nest, so I'd like to retcon and say that Thuradin was at the bow doing the sounding.

Thuradin stands at the bow of the ship tossing the sounding line into the water, noting the depth, and pulling it back out again only to do it all over "The mark is twain!" he calls out as he records the depth on the line
Perception check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Hearing the commotion he draws the weighted rope in and hustles back amid ship to see what's going on.

"Better to see trouble coming than wait for it to appear on your doorstep" Thuradin thinks to himself as he prepares for the climb to the crow's nest.
After a false start he quickly reaches the top of the mast to start his tour of duty.
Climb check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Climb check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Climb check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Climb check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Thuradin boards the barge with some trepidation "My uncle Gundrun drowned in his bath. The first time in a month he'd been near water and he dies. Coincidence? I think not." Walking up the gangplank he mutters under his breath "Nothing good will come of this mark my words, nothing good." He turns to one of the crewmen and states "Dwarves don't float" before he goes below deck to secure a berth.

So what exactly did we decide for the loot distribution? Thuradin's fine with Agrimmosh and the alchemical items but I'd just like to know for bookkeeping purposes.

"Dwarves on a boat, nothing good is going to come of that." Thuradin mutters under his breath "Dwarves don't float."

Assuming we know what the locket is, we know how it works.
Reading over the locket, you need a pair of them to operate. So far we only have one, which means that someone out there is wearing the second one, probably whoever the lock of hair belongs to.
So right now we have half of a magic item.

Kragmyr, go ahead and take it, I can wait.

+1 Constitution
+8 hit points
+1/3 use of Blessings (weapons and armor only)
+1 Fortitude/Will
Channel Energy
Sacred Weapon +1
2 2nd level spells
+1 Climb
+1 Diplomacy
+1 Perception
+1 Craft (armor)*
+1 Craft (weapons)*
*Background skills

Thuradin would be honored to carry Agrimmosh. I took a bunch of the alchemical items, which are nice to have but no one actually ever buys.
Also Thuradin would like the MW Breastplate and one of the Composite Shortbows, along with the Human Bane arrows, if no one objects.

* The hammer goes to Thuradin
It is a hammer, which is the sacred weapon of Torag. So it will increase it's damage dice as he levels. He is also a giant hunter, and this weapon is a holy weapon for the giants. There is something poetic about it. Dwarves believe that Torag created the world on his forge, and the giants believe that this hammer was used to create them. Now a dwarven warpriest of Torag uses the hammer as his sacred weapon to hunt down the giants. I like the idea. I also like the idea that for an item which is the holy weapon of an enemy pantheon, that we would trust it to someone who is connected to our god. Because how else can we be sure that the weapon won't turn on us?

Anyways, that's just how I would do it.

Yeah, what he said.

Thuradin reaches the half-orc just as he's about to expire. Casting Stabilize on the body he looks up to his comrades "We were asked to find Roderick's killer and I'll bet you he was behind it. Now we can get some answers."

Thuradin scurries past the Troll despite his desire to end the creature once and for all. Instead he hurries to the mad bomber on an attempt to keep him from dying...yet. "He has a lot to answer for." he shouts as his companions look on in confusion.

Thuradin slings his crossbow across his back and steps up to the cliff face. Grabbing hold of the wall he begins to climb. He makes it up a few feet before his hand slips off the rock he grabs and he tumbles back to the ground. Cursing in dwarven, he dusts himself off and tries again. The second time, going hand over hand, he makes it halfway up the cliff.
Climb check #1: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8
Climb check #2: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

I'm assuming the Climb DC is 15 (Any surface with adequate handholds and footholds (natural or artificial), such as a very rough natural rock surface or a tree, or an unknotted rope, or pulling yourself up when dangling by your hands). If it's more or less, let me know.

Okay I missed the part about the Reflex save.

"That's going to leave a mark" Thuradin thought to himself as the cooling waters of Thozar's spell douses the flames from the half orc's bomb. He levels his crossbow and takes careful aim at the mad bomber before he let's his bolt fly. It strikes the half orc in the side, near the kidney "Hopefully it's in deep enough to cause some real damage"

Attack roll: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 4 = 19
Attack roll (confirm critical): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 4 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (6) = 8
Critical Damage (if confirmed): 1d8 ⇒ 5

Crap on a cracker, looks like I misread the map.

Thuradin draws and loads his crossbow while whispering a prayer to Torag. As he finishes his weapon glows with a golden light. Leveling his bow at the half orc he says "Look around you. You're trapped on a cliff face, the only way out is through us. There is no way this is going to end well for you. Surrender now and you just might live through this day." But as he said the words even Thuradin didn't believe them.

Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Thuradin uses his Good blessing on his weapon. +1d6 damage against evil creatures for 1 minute.

Thuradin runs around the skeleton to face the half orc.
Double move to get there.

Thuradin will step around the wolves corpse and approach Belir. With a whispered prayer to Torag he summons healing energy as he touches his comrade.
CureLight Wounds: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

BTW, GM Fuzzfoot, the Fervor Thuradin cast last round should remove any remaining damage on Thuradin.

Thuradin grabs his axe with both hands as he moves up to confront the wolf with the greenish tint as it too moves up on Belir. With all his might behind the swing he brings the blade down on the wolf's skull.
Attack roll (power attack): 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 1 = 21
Damage (power attack, two handed): 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Thuradin will swift cast Fervor upon himself and then take a double move up to Belir
Fervor: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Thuradin chugs along after Belir as fast as his stumpy dwarven legs will carry him.
Thuradin will also run into the other chamber.

Wishing You and Yours Peace, Love, and Joy this Holiday season and throughout the year to come.
Mike.

Round #2:

Thuradin, his hammer glowing with faint magic, swings at the skeleton, it's blunt face rushing bones as it hits. "Use blunt weapons against the skeleton, they're more effective." he tells the others.
Attack roll (magic weapon): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Damage (magic weapon): 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Thuradin casts magic weapon on his warhammer as he moves up to engage the skeleton.

Thuradin watches as the rat swarm dissipates into individual rats scurrying away. He hoists his axe on his shoulder "Scared them away. he laughs.

"I agree with Torith, I think the main passage is the way to go. Straight on into danger, and all that." he says as he moves along the main passageway.

Too bad I don't have Channel yet.

Thuradin chugs up behind Gundar, drawing his axe as he goes

Double move to get up behind Gundar.

Thuradin takes a swing at the Yellow orc in front of him.
Attack roll (two handed, power attack): 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 1 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

Wanting to wish all of our American players a Happy, and safe, Thanksgiving.

Years of hatred boil up inside Thuradin as he recklessly approaches the giant. Gripping his waraxe with both hands he slams it's blade into the giant with all his might.
Attack roll (giant hunter, power attack): 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 18
Damage (two handed, power attack): 1d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 3 = 16

Given the movement penalties for being in the water Thuradin will probably provoke an AoO as he steps within the giants reach to attack.

Thuradin moves into the water, wading out to stand next to Belir. Standing next to the drop off into deeper water he too shouts insults at the giant, calling into question it's parentage "Din mamma var en hamster och din far luktade av äldre bär"

Thuradin moves as fast as his dwarven legs will take him to the water's edge.

Thuradin will use the run action to move tot he Hope Pond's edge where he'll stop, keeping in mind "Dwarf's don't float"

Thuradin involuntarily flinches as the unexpected spray of gravel whizzes past. He turns to give Torith a "Seriously" look as the rocks flay the orc in front of him.

Thuradin ducks under the clumsy attempt to grab him by the orc and swings his axe into it's exposed midsection.
Attack roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Bonfire
Reflex save (half Damage): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Reflex save (catching fire): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Thuradin takes the full brunt of the explosion as it lifts him off his feet and tosses him to the ground. Fortunately the impact extinguishes any of the embers that may have been burning upon him. Getting to his feet he brushes himself off and inspects the damage. Noticing his singed hair and beard he mutters "Someone is going to die for this."

Market
Thuradin approaches the market square with the others as quietly as he can until the orcs see them and raise the alarm. All pretext at stealth abandoned, he rushes the red orc manning the catapult.
Double move to reach the orc.

My Father in Law passed away quietly at his home Wednesday afternoon. I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding during these trying times. I will be out of town from today until Wednesday attending the services and other personal matters, please 'bot me if there is anything that needs to be done.
Thank you all,
Mike.

Giantslayer: The Musical

It's a double barreled crossbow, ala Ladyhawke.

Angered by the attack, Thuradin rushes into the orc and lifts him bodily off his feet. Carrying him backwards he dumps him into the pit with the rest if his kind.
Bull Rush: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Thuradin doesn't have the Improved Bull Rush feat so he would provoke an AoO from his attack.

Not for much longer.
Thuradin steps upthe orc in yellow and swings his axe. Guided by Torag's power his blade sinks deep into the orc's side.
Attack roll (divine favor): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14

Thuradin will hold his action until the next wave of orcs appear. Then he will cut the ropes holding the last pile of timbers and climb back over the barricade.

Again I want to apologize for not paying attention to my games. There's no really good way to say this without sounding ghoulish but we are currently on a death watch for my father-in-law. Early last week he took a turn for the worst and the hospice nurses believe he could pass any day now. Needless to say my wife is beside herself with worry and I just haven't had the time to devote to these boards.

Thuradin jumps the barricade and moves as fast as his stumpy dwarven legs will carry him over to the second pile of logs. "Belir, fall back" he yells as he draws his axe to cut the timbers loose.

That's what I would have ended up doing.

Hey everyone, just wanted to apologize for not being very active for the past couple of days. I've been busy with things at work trying to get ready for an upcoming work convention in Las Vegas next week.
I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon and won't be back until Friday night. I'll try to keep up with things as best as I can but during the day I'm going to be in the convention center and at night,...well it's Vegas.
Go ahead and bot me if you need to and try not to get Thuradin killed.

Traded it out for Giant Hunter.

Fervor: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Thuradin once again calls upon the power of the Forgefather to heal some of his wounds before using using some of that divine power to protect himself in the upcoming battle.
Thuradin will swift cast Fervor on himself and then use a standard action to activate his protection blessing (+1 sacred bonus to AC and saves for one minute).
