Torsten Runeforger's page

Wow…all 4 Id love to do. Started kingmaker and it died almost immediately (though I have played the video game). Same for Carrion Crown in that it started and died. Never did Reign of Fire, nor Reign of Winter. So I’d be as happy as a clam for any of them.

If I had to pick…it would be tough. So yeah, while it’s a cop out I’d gladly join any. :D

I’m also up for any build rules. Vanilla, spheres, gestalt, themed parties, whatever.
If we do kingmaker, though, I’d likely make an aldori swordlord. Unless the setting was changed.

Three cards turned. Usawoti had drawn one card, and a divine power swore to support his cause. Torsten drew one, and an infernal monster vowed to oppose him. There was balance there. It did not worry him, for he expected their path to be perilous and for great powers to oppose them. And knowing that he would not be alone in this gave him comfort. Together they had overcome much, and this would be no different.

A second card had been drawn. Usawoti had been given the power to shape reality in his image by changing the past. He had turned it down, for he was a Bone Caster. Torsten had been given the power to shape reality in his image by creating his own demiplane. And this power he accepted without a second thought, for he was no shaman, he was no priest, and he was certainly no Bone Caster. He was a craftsman and a practitioner of the arcane. He had broken tradition and gone against his own blood in the pursuit of pushing his knowledge and his ability beyond what any other had done, and this had led to him changing something fundamental about himself. Restraint was not one of his virtues. In time he would shape it and mold it into his image. And he would insist that a way be found for Usawoti to travel to it as well, so that it might be of use in their quest to come.

And finally, just like with Usawoti, he had a vision. His friend had been forced to grapple with a choice that would break most mortal men, and it seemed to have wounded him in a way that Torsten did not have the experience to truly understand. But for the dwarf? He had been given two visions. One was true, and the other was false. The first was a 'happy ending.' It was what he had wanted. It was what he had yearned for. Such family acceptance, working together, feeling harmony? For all of his power, it felt further away than anything he could imagine. He could not see how it was possible. Seeing it left him with a feeling of sadness inside. It was as if his rocky chest led to a well, with the water within being as cold as that of a glacier. He pushed it aside.

But the other vision? That one...oddly enough it was comforting. For already he feared that he would lose himself. That for the moment he had a good friend by his side, and a quest that would take many a year to complete. But after that? How long until the dwarf that was Torsten no longer existed. How long until he went to his demiplane and stayed there, an immortal being, obsessed with the pursuit of perfection? Permanently divorced from Golarion because it would no longer hold any meaning to him? That vision was one of an ending. One where all of his power had been put to a good cause. One that succeeded. He assumed that the vision was that of his death. It was bittersweet, but it was fulfilling. He could live with such a death.

Quietly he picked up Usawoti's card and put it away. He put a hand on the man's shoulder and gave it a small squeeze. "Come." He said. Words felt cheap, at that moment. Not knowing what to say, he instead just spoke from the heart. "Let us bring honor to your choice. We have much to do, but we will achieve it together."

Very interesting rolls. I’ll get a post up as soon as I can.

Next time I make someone with a curse I am going to steal that 'fate injury.'

...prior to drawing the cards, Torsten had inscribed the tattoo upon Usawoti. While he had seen his transformation as being the culmination of his life's work, this too, matched the criteria. For this was proof that his craft could be replicated, and that it did not necessarily have to die with him. The tattoo, when it was finished, covered Usawoti's back. It was not a simple process. Planning it took the best part of a night. It was well known among scholars that ley lines were imperceptible, nearly stationary conduits of raw magical energy. It was said that they could stretch for thousands of miles and were full of ambient magical energy, causing magical effects, thoughts, and phenomena to reality along their paths. The concept of ley lines was central to the tattoo, for Torsten had realized that every living creature had something similar. The use of magic was, after all, a science. What mattered was finding these ley lines within the person. And if they were powerful enough, harnessing them. He knew that a single mistake could prove fatal. To even be allowed to attempt it was evidence of trust which was humbling.

Craft Tattoos on magical tattoo: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (16) + 36 = 52

Tempting fate, second craft tattoos on the mundane one as well: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (15) + 36 = 51

When he was done, the work was nothing short of a masterpiece. It was the kind of artisanship that one could spend a lifetime seeking out. And it had to be, for that was what was required for it to work. The central basis for it were dwarven runes, for that was what he was trained in, and he was not willing to experiment with his friend's life. But when he was done, he went about adding mundane tattoos to it, using the shoanti tattoo on his hand as a basis for it, so that the style of Usawoti's people was merged into it, creating a unifying whole. Only then was he satisfied.

Interesting cards! Thanks for the thought on giving it to Torsten…but wow, with it being tied to Usawoti he has some difficult choices. It almost becomes like the Aeon ending in WotR, with the potential to just not have anything bad happen and thus undo it all.

I…will draw 3 cards. Because damn it if I don’t I’m not going to be able to stop thinking about it. Given that “game ending” cards have been removed, at least now I won’t have to worry about him dying from something stupid in the epilogue.

This has been such a ride. It is such a bittersweet feeling when a campaign wraps up. It feels great knowing that we made this together but it ending means that something so enjoyable has come to a close. Robert Henry, as always, it has been a pleasure gaming with you. I’m glad that you enjoyed Torsten as a character, and I assure you the feeling is mutual. If you don’t mind, would you post your epilogue first? I have a general idea for Torsten, but Usawoti’s ending will likely play into the final direction.

And YBD, thank you for running this. This game was amazing. I used to avoid spheres because I didn’t want to learn it. I am so glad that I did, because this game has been amazing. If it wasn’t for Mummy’s Mask I’d be really sad right now. :)

Rebellion. That is what was echoed through Castle Korvosa. Freedom. That was what rang on the street corners. Mercy. Hatred. Screams of pain. All of it mixed together. Usawoti said that the people did not need a heroic face, that they needed a Korvosan. There was truth in that, as war was never something to be celebrated. After returning to bring Usawoti, and the lost treasury, back, all that was left to do was to join in for the fighting. After all they had been through, Usawoti and Torsten were a force multiplier that any army would want.

Despite Torsten's runes which constantly cleaned him, his hands still were stained red with blood more often than not. The Queen's last loyalists were nowhere near the same stature that she was, nor that of her fallen commanders. Usawoti and Torsten had seen to that, and now there wasn't much left that could stand against them. Not with so much of the city fighting alongside them. Torsten did not smile as he went about his duty. He had, afterall, turned himself into a weapon. He reasoned that it was necessary. It was his life's work. It was what he had sworn to do. It was what had been needed to end the Queen. And what was the purpose of a weapon? It was not to defend. It was not to amass glory. The purpose of a weapon was to kill, and as he stalked through the halls of the castle, and the streets of his home, he engaged himself in exactly that, knowing that he would not stop until the war was over.

Torsten took a deep breath. "Fine." He said, with reluctance. "Ye'd be the more heroic face, to be sure. But wait here. I'll be back for ye as soon as I can. If I don't return within two days, then I will find ye back at yer home. I gave me word to inscribe that tattoo on ye, aye? And I a'int one to break me word." He smiled as he gathered up the shards, enough coin to purchase a scroll, as well as the original crown, and then Torsten put the boots on. Finally, he slapped Usawoti's shoulder, and teleported back to the city...

...once there, he made his way directly to Blackjack's hideout. With single minded purpose, he was there to state that the Queen was dead, Usawoti was guarding the stolen treasury of the city, and that a scroll was required to bring him back for the upcoming rebellion.

"Aye, ye be right." Torsten said, looking at the hoard before them. He knew that in the past he would have been sorely tempted to take from it, for the sheer amount of wealth was staggering. But it seemed hollow, somehow. As if though it did not matter.

"Take the boots and head back to the city. Show the shards of the crown, as well as this original, as proof of the Queen's demise and tell them about the treasury which she stole. I will stay here and guard it." He did not say it, but he reasoned that he could use the time until Usawoti returned to meditate on all that had happened and what was yet to come.

Torsten raised a hand to run it through his hair but stopped when he found that he unable to do so, given his new form. He contented himself with a deep sigh as he looked around at the empty pool and the ruined form of the queen. ”Aye, we did it.” He said, watching Usawoti gather the shards. ”We can do a once over of the temple. Make sure there be no danger left. Then it be time to return. And make sure that this crown can’t be used again.”

Sounds like a good plan to me. I second the questions.

After Kazavon kills us, we can start a new campaign! Wrath of the Righteous. Only instead of the World Wound, it's the fallout of us not destroying the crown and getting a TPK.

Could do so…ooc we know we have 10 rounds. Whatever you think makes for the best scene.

Should there be no IC reason to let the dragon form, then my vote is for Usawoti to take Serinthal and to put it down before it forms.

OOC, though, it sounds like a really fun challenge. Thoughts?

Torsten grit his teeth as he pummeled the queen into a fine paste. Her defenses broken, his fist went into her chest and came out from her back. Ripping his hand out, his mouth dropped as he saw Kazavaon itself begin to rise. Using the Queen's body as a shield, he held the corpse up and used it to block whatever came his way which he could not dodge.

Is there any upside besides the challenge in fighting a reborn Kazavon, such as killing him for good?

Last charge of gloves

For a moment Torsten let his guard down, thinking that the Queen had fallen. He was rewarded for this lapse in judgement by a rapier to the gut. The blade sank in, despite his defenses, eliciting a gasp of surprise and pain. It was momentary though, as he recovered his senses enough to make the most out of her getting in so close. He reached out to grab her, completely ready to pull her down into the pool of blood where he could strangle the life out of her.

It was only Torsten's tattoo which honed his senses enough for him to sense living creatures around him which saved him from having a rapier thrust into his neck. As it was, he turned aside just in time, more out of muscle memory than anything else, as the queen was moving too fast for him to keep up. He reached out, seeking to grab hold of her before she could either cut them down or get away.

With the queen completely focused on Usawoti, Torsten managed to slosh his way through the pool of blow and get behind her. Pulling his arm back and activating his glove so that it danced with electrical energy, he delivered a devastating punch directly into her back. If he was taller, he would have gone for the head. Given the whirlwind that was her rapier, he hoped that his attack would be enough to give Usawoti the opening that he needed. Given that her wounds kept healing whatever damage he caused, he knew that their only hope lay in Usawoti's swordsmanship.

So lucky on these reflex saves. This should give Usawoti a flank for his attacks as well

With 15HP left, could you get yourself back up to working condition? I'd hate to see Usawoti die. I mean, I have a scroll of resurrection...but Torsten also needs to be alive to use it.

For a second time that day Torsten killed a dragon. Where before he had fought its way out of its gullet, this time he took a slash from its claws in stride and then charged straight forward towards its chest. He had punched through stone walls before, so breaking his way through a rib cage did not prove to be an insurmountable obstacle. Healing his wounds, he growled ”Fooker thinks she can outlast us!”

Harrow Card?
- If you fail a saving throw against a death effect, you're stunned for 1 round but negate the death effect. This protection can only be used once.

The dragon's 70HP attack was necromatic. If it was a death effect, then rolling that 1 might count for the harrow card, leaving you stunned instead of on death's door.

"Me fooking ears!" Torsten cursed. The roar felt loud enough to burst ear drums and he certainly did not enjoy that. Sloshing through the blood, he contended himself that it was at least easier to get his hands on a dragon than the queen.

Torsten raised an eyebrow as he managed to completely miss the queen. He struggled against the flow of blood, finding himself almost unable to move. With a grunt he caused the enchantment in his glove to flare to life, causing his hand to become engulfed in flames. He reached his arm back to throw a punch, only to find that he could not reach her. His short stature and the constant flow of blood caused him to be able to do naught but keep his balance. He truly hoped that Usawoti would have more luck than he did.

Two shields is silly? I disagree with every fiber of my being. A pair of shields with the edges honed to a razor edge is amazing. It is like a pair of sword nunchucks. Almost as dangerous to the enemy as to the user, but so awesome that it is worth using for that reason alone.

Torsten should be at full HP without any ability damage.

Ah, I see. So, he still has 44 wounds from before. After DR he takes another 19 wounds, so 63 total. However, strength damage was cured. Given that it had serious injuries already and Torsten just unloaded a ton of damage...

Fort: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (20) + 32 = 52

Moving in close to a dragon had it's downsides, such as being bitten by the creature. This was much less effective for the dragon than it would have hoped, as it's teeth found no flesh to puncture. Rather, Torsten was lifted into the air, and as he did so he felt teeth break as they were forced closed upon his stone exterior. Still, the sheer crushing force was enough to do some significant damage. Making the best of the situation. Finding himself inside of it's mouth, he reached out with his hands and dug in. Forcing himself to stand, he began to tear the dragon's head apart from the inside. It thrashed and tried to dislodge the dwarf, but he had more than enough handhold, and he was extremely steady on his feet. Again and again he dug up, ripping his way through the dragon's head until finally he caused damage that was fatal. It's eyes rolled to the back of its head as it suddenly crashed to the ground.

Torsten crawled out of it's mouth, covered in blood and gore. His body was cracked from where the dragon had chewed on him. The runes that covered him flashed with power and his body reformed. Furthermore, his runes were hard at work, cleaning him off. Within minutes he would look like nothing had happened.

"The queens be dead?" He asked, as he looked around the room and saw only the two of them.

First hit causes 3 points of bleed and reduces natural armor by 3. So all further hits are made easier

1 use of martial flexibility as a free action for dedicated adversary....and as much as I'd love to have arcane strike and champion strike, he is out of that for the day.

Swift action for cure. 2 spell points, using restore spirit so it cures the strength damage. This should heal the 44 wounds that he has as well

Torsten paused mid punch, turning just in time to have the wingless dragon breathe it's poisonous breath all over him. He felt himself slow down, as the strength was sapped from his limbs. With a frown he forced arcane energy to flow through his body, restoring him. He turned to the dragon and stomped over towards it, eager to heed Usawoti's command. He was certain that the man had his back. All he had to do was focus on the dragon before him....

"Oh fook, it's-" He didn't get to finish his sentence as a wave of fear washed over him. Without thinking, Torsten began to blindly lash out, shaken by the assault all he could do was act on instinct. Luckily, that instinct was to commit intense violence.

Happy dance time for reinforcements not coming. Eating up resources is the name of their game.

"Makes sense." Torsten said, as the divine energy from Usawoti healed the worst of his wounds. He didn't like flying, but he had to admit that the logic was sound. Bearing with the unpleasant feeling of taking to the air, he trusted in his friend's abilities to see them safely as they ascended.

When looking through the profile again, I think that I was off combat talents by 1 (monks don't give that many). While I haven't done a full review, I took away the last combat talent for improvised weapons out of caution.

Confident that Usawoti had the devil well in hand, Torsten pulled out a potion and splashed it over Usawoti's wounds. "Bleeding fairly bad, lad." He said, hoping that it would be enough to halt the flow of blood.

12 damage taken from trident and 11 from unholy

Torsten grunted in pain as more unholy energy washed over him, which distracted him enough for a flaming trident to be planted in his side. Fortunately, he skin was literally made out of stone, and was further enchanted. The weapon barely made an impact. Glaring at the devil, he reached out, in an attempt to rip it asunder.

"Good plan." Torsten said, as he stepped towards the devils that had landed. They had made the mistake of getting within arm's reach...

The creature continued to tear shards of stone from Torsten, causing bloody chunks to fall to the ground. The dwarf, if you could still call him that, kept moving forward, reaching out with his own hands to do the same.

Powered by fear and disgust, Torsten surged forward towards the unnatural creature. He couldn't get a good grip on it for his usual method of fighting, which was knocking the foe off balance, taking them to the ground, and then tearing them apart. However, he still was able to land fairly solid hits, which alone were enough to break stone, let alone bone.

”A creature of Leng?” Torsten asked, apparently rhetorically, though in truth it was his helm he spoke to. The horror that was the creature was evident just by looking at it. Every fiber of his being called out to him to destroy it as quickly as possible.

Are we on solid ground or flying? Can Torsten engage?

"Fly." Torsten said, after a moment's thought. "The wizard knows where we are and we don't know where he is. That is a disadvantage that could be fatal."

Will: 1d20 + 26 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 26 + 3 = 37

”A mage be here. Not sure where.” Torsten said as his eyes narrowed. He strained to see as he looked around. ”Nay good. Nothing as dangerous as a mage ye can’t see. Let’s get out of the mist right quick.”

"Making some sort of magical items here." Torsten said, looking over the tools with an expert's appraisal. "Haphazard, though. But aye, clockwise it is. We'll see what is in store for us."

"Fook it, didn't want to. But we'll have to swim." Torsten grimaced as he looked at the water. "Even worse than the worst of it back home. Ah well..." He almost took a step forward, then stopped, remembering his stone exterior. "On second thought..." He said, pausing. "I might just well sink. Now, I don't need to breathe, so I could probably just walk around the bottom, but I don't know how I'd get word to ye. So how about this. Ye fly us across, and then we can use these potions in me pack. Turns us into a gaseous form. If we can find any holes or whatnot. So if we can't find an entrance the normal way, that may just let us in."
